Shen Man was stunned, thinking to himself that what Zhou Gai said this time is logical, where is there a loophole?

I only heard Tang Jiuyue say without a trace of tone, "Tang Gongzi was killed by you, but you didn't kill the others." ”

Zhou Gai was stunned, he had never seen a woman who dared to judge in such a firm tone in front of him, not to mention that this woman was young and her martial arts were above him. He looked at her eyes, Zhou Gai had read countless people and killed countless people, but he had never seen such eyes, he couldn't see through them, he couldn't guess through them, and he could barely distinguish the color, and he changed every moment.

"Since the old man has confessed to murder, why don't you believe it?" Zhou Gai sneered.

Shen Man also looked at Tang Jiuyue, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Tang Jiuyue said, "It is indeed best for you to carry this corpse tripod case as the real murderer, but the fault is that Tang Gongzi is not in the corpse tripod." ”

"So what? He is also Tang Huiyuan's son, and the old man doesn't want him to mix with other inferior people. Zhou Gai was anxious, "So I specially found another place for him to be buried." ”

"Then where do you bury Tang Gongzi's body?"

Zhou Gai's eyebrows wrinkled into three lines.

Tang Jiuyue lifted the lid of the tea, blew off the tea leaves floating on it, and continued, "Do you not want to confuse Tang Gongzi's corpse with someone else's, or do others not want to?" ”

Zhou Gai was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Tang Jiuyue said, "The layout of your mansion is said to have been arranged by a reclusive onmyoji, but in fact, if there is a more powerful and closer person to guide you, you must be convinced, right?" ”

Zhou Gai pinched the cup in front of him and made a "gurgling" sound, "It's me who kills people, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." ”

Tang Jiuyue looked at the cup, "Lord Zhou, the more you admit your guilt like this, the more it proves that you are not the real murderer." ”

Shen Man then heard the clue, according to Tang Jiuyue's meaning, this real murderer must be someone else. But who can make Zhou Gai, a powerful minister, want to bear the mistakes he has made? Who deserves his full support?

"Smack-" The cup in Zhou Gai's hand finally shattered, and the fragments were scattered on the table, some of which were still embedded in his palms, and blood was immediately pouring out. Zhou Gai's eyes were full of bloodshots, he raised his head and looked at Tang Jiuyue viciously, gritting his teeth word by word, "You are just guessing out of thin air, besides, the old man has already investigated your identity, you are just a helper temporarily found by Taige, you can't be so desperate, right?!" ”

Tang Jiuyue shook her head and said, "Even if you take action in person, you can't make me desperate." ”

Zhou Gai blushed angrily.

Shen Man was a little frightened, and secretly said that even if Tang Jiuyue could defeat Zhou Gai with one hand, he shouldn't be so angry. Just in case, she secretly moved the stool and hid herself behind Tang Jiuyue, in case something happened, she would not drag Tang Jiuyue back.

"Yo, everyone's ready." Another person came late at night with frost and dew, this person was holding a rope in his hand, and a fish was tied to the rope, this posture reminded Shen Man of Tang Jiuyue who had just come to pick up the fish. The person who came happened to be surnamed Tang, and he was Tang Jiuyue's uncle Tang Huiyuan.

I saw him come over with a smile, walk through the courtyard, stand on the steps and look at a few people in the house, "It's really rude, I just took the wrong fish, I was afraid that you would be poisoned, so I sent another one." He tiptoed and looked up at the table in the room, and saw that the puffer fish had only moved a corner, and he didn't know what to look in his eyes, but he said, "You don't look like you have eaten yet, have you?" Fortunately, otherwise it would have been the fault of the prisoner. ”

Shen Man stared at the fish in his hand, "The Tang Sect Supervisor is also sloppy, it doesn't matter if we eat it, we are afraid of being eaten by other guests, so I don't know if this human life should be counted on our head or on your head?" ”

Tang Huiyuan smiled dryly, and said as he walked inside, "Naturally, it should be counted on the head of this gate supervisor." As he spoke, he poured himself a little wine.

Zhou Gai was silent on the side.

Tang Huiyuan was much more relaxed, "When I came in just now, I heard you say that the real murderer was talking about, are you talking about the corpse case?" ”

Tang Jiuyue said calmly, "Tang Sect Supervisor, we feel that Lord Zhou is covering up the truth for someone. ”

Tang Huiyuan raised his eyebrows and paused in his hand, "Oh? ”

"We feel that Tang Gongzi's matter is indeed inseparable from Lord Zhou, but other lives are not related to Lord Zhou's business, I don't know if Tang Men Jian agrees?"

Tang Huiyuan smiled faintly, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"Then I'll tell you a story." Tang Jiuyue easily grabbed a piece of puffer fish meat in front of everyone's eyes and put it in Shen Man's bowl, the puffer fish meat was black, obviously a poisonous part. Such a move surprised the people around him, and Zhou Gai almost couldn't close his mouth. Shen Man smiled slightly, picked up the poisonous fish meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.

Zhou Gai looked at Shen Man as if he were looking at a monster.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Jiuyue took a bite herself, put down her chopsticks and told her story.

"There is a young lady from a big family in the capital who likes the son of another eunuch. But the boy didn't like her very much, so the father, who loved the young lady, wrote to the Holy God to give her a marriage, and after the Holy Mother gave her a marriage, the son and his family could not refuse. This prince actually has another sweetheart, and in desperation, he wants to run away from the marriage, but he doesn't want to be caught by the young lady of this official eunuch's family, and-"

Tang Jiuyue stretched out the end and looked at Zhou Gai, "This young lady accidentally killed her fiancé." Zhou Gai's face turned pale.

Tang Jiuyue continued, "The crime of murder needs to be offset by life, although the father of this official eunuch is powerful, but he is helpless about it, so he borrowed the family tripod to transport the body out and bury it in the ground. The father of the murdered son was a person in the Yin and Yang Dao, and he borrowed the Yin and Yang Dao method to find the bones of his son, and after digging out this Ding, he was very angry and went to the door. But he learned that the young lady was crazy, and the young lady's father stopped him from the door. He knew that there was no way to file a complaint, so he watched the people in and out of this mansion and came up with another way......"

When Tang Jiuyue said this, Zhou Gai's color changed greatly, but Tang Huiyuan was calm as usual. Shen Man couldn't help but admire his ability to pretend, but it was also possible that he was completely innocent.

"Although he is in the Yin and Yang Prison, he is an unpopular. Is there any way for him to make this crime public? Then naturally it will take advantage of the annual Yin-Yang Dao exam. ”

Tang Jiuyue continued, "So he came up with an idea to the Yin and Yang Supervisor, and let the main examination questions of the Astronomical Gate be set in the ground of the Meteorological Gate, and as he expected, this was all the corpse Ding was dug up. The appearance of such a strange Dading in the Yin-Yang Dao Great Examination will naturally attract attention, no matter who wants to cover up this matter, I am afraid that it will not be possible......"

Tang Huiyuan smiled helplessly, "This real murderer sounds very pitiful, his son was killed, but he couldn't bring the wicked to justice, and even used this roundabout method to tell the world." ”

"He is indeed helpless, under the imperial power, all are poor people." Tang Jiuyue said. "It's just that I don't know, how does he want this to end?"

"Since it's a big fuss, I don't want to end it hastily." Tang Huiyuan said, "You are almost right about my affairs. But there's one thing, you're not right. ”

"Oh?" Tang Jiuyue tilted her head to listen.

"My son was chosen, not because Zhou Ting likes him." Tang Huiyuan showed a wry smile, "It's because fate chose him." ”

Tang Jiuyue's face fell silent.

Tang Huiyuan looked at Shen Man, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You will understand in the future." ”

Shen Man smelled a smell and got up and asked, "Did you smell anything?" ”

Tang Jiuyue touched her nose and frowned, "Nasal congestion, I can't smell it." ”

Shen Man sniffed it carefully again, and hurriedly took Tang Jiuyue's hand and took it out, shouting, "It's not good, it's oil!" Someone wants to set fire to this place! ”

Tang Jiuyue was pulled by her and didn't want to break free, and when she ran out, she saw thick smoke billowing everywhere, and someone was indeed setting fire. She looked back at the two people sitting at the table in the firelight, who didn't seem to want to run. Tang Jiuyue even saw that these two people were toasting to each other, as if they were celebrating something.

Shen Man covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and looked around, "Did you see Xiao Li Ye and Lian Yi, did they run out?" ”

"We're here!" Lian Yi suddenly appeared, and there was still a person on his back, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiao Li Ye? Xiao Li Ye ate the poisonous fish, and said weakly, "Hi ......"

Shen is full of coldness, when is it time to still have the strength to "hi-". After the four of them escaped from the courtyard, looking at the raging fire behind them, Shen Man felt sorry, "It seems that they can't escape." ”

"I don't think they want to run away." Lian Yidao, it turned out that she had been watching in the dark.

Xiao Li Ye hummed on Lian Yi's back and said, "Damn, I actually set fire to Lao Tzu's house......"

Tang Jiuyue's pupils reflected the firelight, and her mind was heavy.
