Chapter 117: The Murderer
The night was quiet, and the whole new city was quiet. The inner street, which is lively and noisy during the day, falls silent after nightfall, and only a few lanterns are seen swaying in the night.
Suddenly, a flame rose from the sky.
"Ah, there's a fire."
The flames rose to the sky, the shouts came one after another, the lights were lit up in every house in the street, and the people who were sleeping in their sleep jumped out of bed one after another, and rushed out into the street before they had time to put on their clothes.
"Fight the fire," the aunt in the house closest to the burning house howled at the top of her throat, fearing that the raging fire would implicate her house.
On a high ground in the distance, the woman dressed in black standing in front of the three people had already taken off her masked black scarf, and the centipede scars on her face wriggled and jumped in the flickering firelight.
Don't you like to run away with water, then I'll use this fire to honor you, who dared to threaten our lord?
She curled the corners of her lips sadly, even though she was close to the fire, it made people feel chills down her spine.
Ling Shuirong was afraid that she would not have thought that she would be able to use it to save her life and trade the weight that she thought could be used to save her life and trade had become a complete life-urging talisman.
The people in the alley began to fight the fire in a hurry, and then looked at the high ground, where there were still shadows of three people.
Before the chicken crowed, the murder of the first concubine was solved, and the murderer was the young lady who made the soup for Shuang Ningqin at the end, because the same poison was also found in the remaining ginger and red date soup in the clay pot used to make the soup, and the guards also searched for the golden hairpin of the Jiang family of the cold palace from her body.
After seeing the golden hairpin, all the concubines in the palace immediately realized.
It turned out to be Jiang's! After so many years of worrying about that incident many years ago, people can't help but sigh, they just feel that the first concubine was killed by the Jiang family like this.
It turned out that the Jiang family in this cold palace was also the concubine next to Bei Anhuang, and the time when Shuang Ningqin was just favored was when the Jiang family was six months pregnant, when the first concubine was in full bloom, and Bei Anhuang slept in her Xianyang Palace almost every night.
Other concubines are fine, but the pregnant Jiang family needs more care than the mother next to her, and when a woman is pregnant, her temperament always becomes a little weird, and the jealousy in her heart is increasing day by day.
One day, the two of them were walking in the imperial garden, and they happened to meet, and I don't know who started the dispute first, so they quarreled, quarreled and quarreled, and somehow, this Jiang fell down without standing firmly, and gave birth to a stillborn baby that night, I heard that it was still a baby boy.
Since then, this Jiang family has gone crazy, chattering all day long, and running out to hurt people from time to time, so Bei'an Huang sent her into the cold palace.
was originally a character forgotten by everyone, but because of this golden hairpin, coupled with the bizarre murder of the first concubine. Even if the young lady shouted that the golden hairpin was picked up, I am afraid that no one would believe it, and it was just an excuse for her to get away with it.
The grandmother was pulled out to rectify the Fa on the spot, and the matter came to a successful conclusion, Bei Anhuang returned to the Xuande Hall with frowns behind his back, and handed over the affairs of the first concubine to Queen Lan Miyun.
Everything was arranged, it was already dawn, and all the concubines yawned and were supported by the attendants around them to go back to their respective dormitories to rest, as if they were watching a play at night.
There are many beauties in the harem, and it is common for you to fight to the death in secret, and everyone doesn't pay attention to it at all, not to mention that the murderer finds a happy ending this time, even if the murderer can't be found, what can you do?
As long as there is a woman in this palace, who does not have a few lives in his hands, besides, if a first concubine dies, they still have one less competitor!
Bachelor's House.
Shen Fengyi was with his arms level, and in front of him was Brother Jun, who was silent with his head bowed, and he was concentrating on tying the last handicap of the dark blue court dress embroidered with the crane pattern.
Brother Jun'er was sharp with his hands and feet, and took the pearls on the wooden shelf for Shen Fengyi to hang around his neck. After packing up, he took a step back and stood quietly aside.
"Haven't come back yet?" Shen Fengyi didn't look back, walked to the table and sat down, and stuffed a small longbao on the plate into his mouth with chopsticks.
"I've already come back, and my subordinates saw that you had just slept at that time, so I didn't let her in."
"Well, how's it going?" He seemed only interested in the food on the table, and asked lightly.
"Everything is done, and the evidence has been extinguished." Brother Jun lowered his eyebrows and reported truthfully.
"Well, that's good!" Shen Fengyi finally stopped fighting against food, and glanced at Brother Jun with slanted eyes.
When Brother Jun saw that he had finished eating, he hurriedly brought over the copper basin next to him. Shen Fengyi cleaned his hands and said, "What about the person who came out of the palace?" Solved? ”
"Well, it's been thrown into a mass grave, and it should be gnawed clean by wild dogs now." Brother Jun'er's face was expressionless, and he respectfully wiped the water droplets on Shen Fengyi's hands with a cloth towel.
"Very well," a smile finally appeared on his calm face, "I am very relieved that you are doing things safely now." As he spoke, he patted Brother Jun'er on the shoulder.
"Brother Jun can have today, it all depends on your cultivation and love," he was sincerely frightened, and immediately knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Just remember." Shen Fengyi was very satisfied with his performance, his half-constricted eyes narrowed slightly, and then he turned around, and when he was about to push the door out, he was blunt at the door, as if he remembered something.
"Where has the send-off party gone?" Shen Fengyi's hands were lightly twisted behind his back, and his eyes were on the dry old locust tree in the courtyard.
"At the speed of a large group of people, we are probably almost in Yintai City."
"Oh? So one day, the two teams will be separated? In front of the door, Feng Yi's eyes darkened, and his thick fingertips twitched the beard on his lips.
Leaning slightly, he tilted his head slightly, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his appearance became a little embarrassed, and then pushed the door out.
"When I came back from the early dynasty, I didn't want this locust tree to be here." Shen Fengyi's voice floated from afar, and Brother Jun, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, obviously didn't reflect it, he raised his head and looked at the crow screaming Gu Huai suspiciously, why did the old man suddenly talk about this.
He didn't think much about it, got up and went out to greet two fellows, and cut down the ancient locust in three strokes and five by two, and even shot the crow on the tree, which was done neatly.
The early dynasty still talked about the trivial matters of various states and counties, and only a few officials with lower official positions said that the area under their jurisdiction had suffered a locust plague this year, and it was winter, and many people had frozen to death.
Shen Fengyi has been standing in the crowd with his head down, only glancing at Bei Anhuang sitting on him from time to time with the corner of his eye, looking at his face and the somewhat puffy bags under his eyes, he must not have slept well last night.
The news in the palace has always spread rapidly, and before the early dynasty began, he heard a few little palace maids whispering about last night's events in front of the palace.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. (To be continued.) )
