Chapter 21 A Contest to Test the True Murderer
Zhang Junwei has always waited for Fan Liang to come over to say goodbye, but now that Fan Liang is really here, she doesn't want to face him. Bayi Fiction Net--'.,8,1'z''.,c-o'm、
The slanting sun is slanting, spread throughout the Kunning Palace, through the gauze curtain of the warm pavilion, I saw Zhang Junyu lying on the soft couch on his side, with one hand on his back, his eyes slightly closed, and his expression was slightly lazy.
Mei Dai led Fan Liang to wait outside the warm pavilion, and reported it inside, but when she saw Zhang Junfang taking a nap, she suppressed her voice very low, and called "Niangniang" in fright.
Zhang Junfang opened his eyes slightly when he heard the call, and only asked, "What's the matter?"
"Fan Liang is here," Mei Dai whispered, and Zhang Junyu said, "Let him come in," and closed his eyes as he spoke.
The next thing that came into my ears was Fan Liang's long-lost voice, and I only heard Fan Liang say: "Humble position, see Niangniang."
Zhang Junfang could hear that Fan Liang's words were clearly slightly happy, and he couldn't hide that joy.
Fan Liang saluted, then straightened up, but did not hear Zhang Junyu's words, inevitably a little surprised, he has not seen Jinyu since entering the Kunning Palace, originally he thought that Jinyu was waiting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and at this time he still did not see her figure, so he glanced around, and asked happily: "Niangniang, why don't you see Miss Yang......"
When Zhang Junyu heard him ask about Jinyu, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at him casually, and then lowered his eyes and said lightly: "She's dead."
"Dead ......" Fan Liang was stunned when he heard this, and he stood for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "She...... How did she die......"
Zhang Junfang didn't answer immediately, he just raised his eyes and glanced at Fan Liang again, then sat up unhurriedly, and finally looked at him sideways and said, "She was twisted off her neck."
Hearing Zhang Junfang's words, Fan Liang became more and more annoyed, looking at Zhang Junfang's eyes full of anger, gritting his teeth and asking, "Who is the murderer!"
"Murderer," Zhang Junyu said with an indifferent expression, and she withdrew the gaze that fell on Fan Liang's face. The corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly, and a cold smile appeared, "This case is presided over by Mu Bin, as for the murderer." Zhang Junyu couldn't help but sneer again when he said this, and seemed to laugh at himself, and said with a slight irony: "It must be a big shot."
"How?" Fan Liang was slightly excited.
"Those who can sneak into the Qianqing Palace, do you think they will be idle people?" Seeing that Mu Bin was stunned, Zhang Junfang then said: "It's just that I pity Nan Xu." had to become a scapegoat. ”
Fan Liang couldn't suppress the anger in his stomach anymore, and he couldn't care about the rules in a hurry, so he directly reprimanded: "Do you just let that murderer go unpunished!"
Hearing this, he retorted: "What else do you want! Do you know what's at stake behind this? ”
Fan Liang was stunned, and couldn't say anything more, just turned around and said indifferently: "Go to Lord Mu and ask for clarification!"
After saying that, Fan Liang was about to go out, and when he walked to the door of the warm pavilion, Zhang Junfang called him to stop, although Fan Liang had stopped, he never turned back. Swastika eight?? 1. Novel¤??? Net'、、. , 8'1, z, '.'c-o'm' Zhang Junyu said indifferently: "This palace hopes that you will not miss the future because of this matter."
Fan Liang didn't answer, and went out without looking back.
This Fan Liang has always been alone in this palace, originally helpless, it was just an accident, he was able to get acquainted with Jin Yu, maybe it was not accidental, probably it was destined by God, Jin Yu should have gone out of the palace, but she couldn't leave. It was also then, by chance, that he met her. Knowing each other, loving each other.
But in this palace, it's just a fantasy to stay together, and it's just a joke that a lover eventually becomes a family.
He and Jinyu are wrong after all.
Therefore, Zhang Junfang promised him something. It will never come true.
"Mother, tonight's banquet is ready."
"Got it."
Zhang Junyu still has a conscience, she saw Fan Liang so lost, remembering what she had promised him, if Jinyu didn't die, then he came back today, he must have started to prepare for marriage, but unfortunately God didn't fulfill people's wishes, Jinyu died after all.
Thinking that now that the two of them are separated by yin and yang, Zhang Junyu actually had a trace of pity in his eyes.
The wrong beginning is doomed to a broken ending.
That night, the palace garden was brightly lit, the singing and dancing were leveled, the sound of chimes and bamboos was in the ears, accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, so lively.
When Zhang Junfang entered the table, all the invited guests had arrived as scheduled, and they all talked happily with each other.
Just as Jiang Ning'an said, Zhang Junyu set up a banquet this time, and most of the people invited were the sons and young ladies of the princes and ministers of the court, except for these people, there was only Zhu Youqi, the king of Xing.
Zhu Youqi is the prince in the end, compared to those young ladies of the prince, his status is noble, and it is natural to sit in the closest place to Zhang Junqi below. It's just that Zhu Youqi sits on the side of Zhang Junfang's left hand, and in the position on Zhang Junfang's right hand, no one dares to sit, because no one dares to sit on an equal footing with the prince.
Zhang Junfang had just taken a seat, so he took a closer look at the people present, but when his eyes moved to the left side of Zhu Youqi, he stopped, that position, she was specially reserved for Li Dongyang's daughter, but who was the woman who was immersed in eating snacks!
This Li Dongyang's daughter Zhang Junyu is recognized, after all, she is the one who will become her brother-in-law in the future.
Zhang Junyu was puzzled in his heart, so he asked Mei Dai in a low voice, and only said, "Who is that next to King Xing?"
Where did Mei Dai recognize it, she only knew that the person sitting in that position should be the young lady of Li Dongyang's family, so she asked Zhang Junyu in turn, "That...... Isn't it Miss Li Dongyang's family? ”
Zhang Junfang glanced at her when he heard this, and reprimanded in a low voice: "If it is the young lady of the Li family, how can this palace ask you?"
Mei Dai was taught a lesson, and she didn't dare to speak, Zhang Junyu replied, looked at the woman, and asked with a pleasant face: "Which lady is next to the fourth child?"
Zhu Youqi raised his head when he heard this, glanced at Zhang Junqi, and saw that the woman was still eating snacks by herself, so he called in a low voice: "Ning An!"
Jiang Ning'an immediately stopped her hand when she heard the call, raised her head and looked at Zhu Youqi, Zhu Youqi gave her a look, she only knew that it was Zhang Junqi who called her, so she stood up, gave Zhang Junqi a salute, and said gently: "Courtier Ning'an, give the queen's sister-in-law...... Ladies and daughters, please be safe. Swastika?? Swastika¤ in the middle? Text◎网 卍 -''."
What Jiang Ning'an just called, Zhang Junyu heard it clearly, sister-in-law, it turned out that she was brought in by Zhu Youqing.
"No need to be polite, sit down," Zhang Junyu raised his hand to make a gesture, and asked with a slight smile: "What did you just call this palace?"
Jiang Ningan lowered his eyebrows and was shy and didn't dare to answer, Zhang Junyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law? It turned out to be the person at the top of the old four. looks like Peugeot, but I don't know if you have the ability to marry into the royal family. ”
Seeing Jiang Ning'an, he was stunned. Zhang Junwei didn't wait for her to answer, and asked, "Which lady are you?"
Jiang Ningan raised his eyes and said busily: "The father of the courtier's daughter is Jiang Zhe, the commander of the soldiers and horses in Zhongcheng."
It turns out that this Jiang Ningan is Jiang Zhe's daughter, and I wonder who Jiang Zhe is. A soldier and horse commander also wants to climb the emperor's relatives.
Thinking that although Jiang Zhe is only a commander of soldiers and horses, he also has three points of the capital in his hands, I am afraid that he should not be underestimated.
But Zhang Junfang knows, Jiang Zhe. It's Zhu Youqi's person.
"Jiang Zhe, the commander of the soldiers and horses in Zhongcheng," Zhang Junfang frowned slightly, "This person has some impressions in the palace. ”
Jiang Ningan was overjoyed when he heard this, but Zhang Junyu said: "But this palace remembers that it doesn't seem to have invited you at the beginning, how did you enter the palace?"
As soon as Zhang Junyang's words came out, Jiang Ningan was stunned and said, "The young lady of Lord Li Dongyang's family is unwell today, so she asked her to go to the banquet on her behalf."
"Oh?" Zhang Junfang nodded lightly, responded meaningfully, and then said, "You are the fourth person." This fourth child is also a prince, no matter how bad he is, he still has the ability to bring people into the palace. ”
Zhang Junqi also said Zhu Youqi in his words, but Zhu Youqi didn't react, and still brought the wine cup to his mouth, his face was extremely calm and calm.
"If you want to come to the banquet, you just need to ask the fourth child to inform the palace that it is not, why bother so much and take the place of others," Zhang Junyu said aggressively. You're not polite at all, and at this time, she said a little yin and yang, she said, "You know, that position." It's not something that ordinary people can sit on casually. ”
Jiang Ningan was humiliated by Zhang Junfang, and felt that he was embarrassed and incapable of answering, so he had to laugh. Seeing the situation, Zhu Youqi hurriedly relieved her, raised the wine cup to face Zhang Junyu, and said, "Imperial sister-in-law." Brother toast you. ”
Zhang Junyu faked a smile with him, lowered his eyes and held the wine cup, and then raised his eyes and smiled: "The fourth child really has a heart, but he has drunk three rounds, and the palace has drunk enough now, if the fourth child likes to drink, he can drink enough by himself."
Zhu Youqi originally wanted to mention Jiang Ning'an to relieve the siege, but he didn't want to be humiliated, but now he was embarrassed, so he had to respond to the round and said: "The imperial sister-in-law has a shallow amount of wine, and it is also appropriate to pay attention to it," before he withdrew his hand and raised his head to drink all the wine in the wine cup.
Zhang Junyu was willing to ask him to get off the stage, and immediately answered: "Lao Sisu is boasting of a large amount, it is better to ask the imperial wine room to send a few more jars of wine, so that you can have a good drink!"
Zhu Youqi was no match for Zhang Junqi's formation, so he smiled and said, "How can you bother the imperial sister-in-law like this."
"Don't bother," Zhang Junqi said and called out "Mei Dai", Zhu Youqi saw the situation and hurriedly said: "Imperial sister-in-law!" The younger brother is not strong enough to drink today, and I am afraid that he will not be able to drink too much. ”
"Just today?" Zhang Junyu pouted coldly, "Okay, then invite the fourth child to come over for dinner another day." ”
"Yes," Zhu Youqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that Zhang Junqi still didn't let go of Jiang Ningan, and asked, "What is the fourth sweetheart?"
Jiang Ning'an raised his eyes and hurriedly responded: "Ning'an."
"Ning'an?" Zhang Junyu smiled and seemed to be kind, but he said sarcastically: "It's a good name, this palace only hopes that you will marry the fourth child in the future, and the fourth child will really be peaceful for a lifetime."
Zhu Youqi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Junfang, he was really flustered in his heart, but he was afraid that Zhang Junqi had something to say, so he had to guard against it.
"Ning An is from a general's background, so he must have a stunt, so it's better to be ......" Zhang Junyan paused at this point, glanced at Fan Liang, and said: "Learn from this one around the palace, and let the palace see how much ability you have to be in order to enter the eyes of the fourth child."
Jiang Ningan also followed Zhang Junqi's gaze and glanced at Fan Liang, who was always standing beside her, sneered and was about to nod his head, but was stopped by Zhu Youqi who suddenly raised his arm.
I saw Zhu Youqi stand up and bow his hand to ask: "Sister-in-law, Ning An has been sick recently, and I am afraid that it will be uncomfortable in the competition, so it is better for the courtiers to fight Fan Liang for her."
"You?" Zhang Junyu looked at Zhu Youqi carefully from top to bottom, and then said with satisfaction: "It's okay, but this palace wanted to see Ning An at first, since the fourth child also has the heart to compete, then let the two of you compete." It just so happens that Bengong also wants to see if the fourth child has any long-term skills recently. ”
Zhu Youqi was stunned, and was about to excuse Jiang Ning'an, but saw Jiang Ning'an stand up without hesitation, and also grabbed the words in front of him.
The two walked not far away, Jiang Ningan bowed his hand and said, "It's ugly", and in an instant, he swung his sword and fought with Zhu Youqi.
The two of them have been fighting for a long time, and they have always been indistinguishable, which can't help but make people anxious.
If Jiang Ningan only attacks and does not defend, then Zhu Youqi only defends and does not attack, which is a stalemate, but this Zhu Youqi is clearly giving way to Jiang Ning'an everywhere, although Zhang Junqi is not a person who practices martial arts, he knows a little bit about the art of war, and he can still see it in the end.
Finally let Jiang Ningan gain the upper hand, the long sword waved, skipped Zhu Youqi's arm, leaving a long cut on his sleeve, Jiang Ningan was startled, hurriedly threw down the sword, and called: "Brother Qi!"
Jiang Ningan didn't care about others at all, and stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" As he spoke, he hurriedly lifted Zhu Youqi's sleeve, but saw that there were five obvious scratches on his arm, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to ask, but Zhu Youqi suddenly pushed her hand away and smoothed the sleeve.
In such a scene, how could Zhang Junfang not see it, she was not surprised, and in the end, she just knew that King Xing was indeed the murderer.
On that day, the death row prisoner led by Mu Bin said that the spearhead of the murderer directly, and told Zhu Houzhao's life experience, which made Zhang Junqi suspicious of Zhu Youqi, and today, she is just confirmed.
Zhang Junqi has always been steady, so he is still calm when he sees this, but Fan Liang is not, he learned from Mu Bin's mouth that there are five scratches on the murderer's arm, and now seeing Zhu Youqi with this scratch, he can't bear it, and he took out the saber on his waist and rushed over. When Zhang Junfang saw his move, he was really shocked and called "Fan Liang", but he couldn't pull him back.
She wasn't afraid that Fan Liang would hurt Zhu Youqi, she was just afraid that Fan Liang would startle the snake.
Fan Liang suddenly swung his sword and rushed forward, making Zhu Youqi defenseless and powerless, but Jiang Ningan was on guard and resisted with a sword, so the three of them became a chain trend, Fan Liang put the sword on Zhu Youqi's neck, and Jiang Ningan also put the sword on Fan Liang's neck.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for Jiang Ning'an, I'm afraid Fan Liang would really hurt Zhu Youqi.
Zhang Junfang was not surprised, got up and clapped his hands, and praised: "Ning An is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows, which really makes the palace admire."
Jiang Ningan was slightly happy when he heard this, took back the long sword and saluted Fan Liang, Fan Liang also accepted the long sword, turned around and walked towards Zhang Junyu with a cold face, ignoring Jiang Ningan's actions, Jiang Ningan suffered this loss again, it was hard to say anything, so he had to help Zhu Youqi sit back in place.
Seeing Fan Liang coming back, Zhang Junyu's face remained calm, he slowly sat down, and said with a slight smile: "The fourth child is frightened? Bengong originally wanted to ask Fan Liang to compete with you, but I don't want you to be able to resist, it's not too much to think about coming to Bengong, right? ”
"The imperial sister-in-law is serious," Zhu Youqi sneered: "It's the courtier's brother who is negligent for a while, and he can't complain about Fan Liang."
Zhu Youqi can't complain about Fan Liang, aside from the others, in front of many young ladies and young women, he can't lose face. (To be continued.) )
