Chapter 44: The Real Murderer
At night, Lang Yue returned to the Sunset Cave, and before she passed through the stone gate, a silver needle flew from the side, and Lang Yue noticed that the trend of the silver needle did not want her life, so she stopped, and the silver needle stuck to the veil on the tip of her nose. Turning around and seeing Wen Yu standing behind the stone, Lang Yue showed a cold gaze like a cold sword, and said angrily, "What are you doing?" ”
Wen Yu's tone was very contemptuous, "The woman of the door owner is really calm, and she doesn't even bother to hide from the secret weapon, she really has no fear." ”
Lang Yue took a few steps forward, her eyes widening to reveal black eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"Am I talking nonsense?" Wen Yu sneered, "Do you dare to say that you can sit in the position of the master of the Shoufeng Hall as soon as you enter the door, don't you rely on your relationship with the door master?" ”
"So what?"
"It's good if you admit it, you dare to have skin-to-skin kisses in public, and you can't tell how much adultery there is behind your back. I want to see a face hidden under this veil! Wen Yu said and pointed at Langyue with his sword.
Lang Yue didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he had to dodge all the way, and he showed his disadvantage in a few moves. Wen Yu smiled proudly, "I really don't have any real skills if I came up by relying on relationships." ”
Wen Yu held the sword and wanted to attack again, but before he could exert his strength, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and hurriedly pressed his chest against the stone behind him before standing firmly, "You...... You actually poisoned me? ”
Lang Yue took the opportunity to snatch her sword and pointed it at her throat, her cold gaze as terrifying as the sword in her hand. Feeling Lang Yue's killing intent, Wen Yu was frightened, "You dare to kill me?" No infighting is strictly prohibited inside the door. Lang Yue's sword was placed too close, and Wen Yu's throat rose and fell to the tip of the sword as he spoke, and a scarlet scarlet smudge spread between his snow-white neck.
Lang Yue had the upper hand and had no fear, "Didn't you provoke it first?" ”
"I just want to see your face, if I really want to kill you, I can't use up many secret weapons, as for so much trouble?" Wen Yuqing was excited, and another stream of blood flowed down the previous bloodstains.
"Then I will fulfill you today." Lang Yue lifted the veil, Wen Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, "Yes, you?" ”
Before Wen Yu came back to his senses, Lang Yue's wrist was forced, and the sword was plunged straight into Wen Yu's throat, and Wen Yu fell to the ground with a glare.
At this time, Cheng Zheng came in, and Lang Yue hurriedly put on a veil and bent down to salute, "See the door master." ”
Cheng Zheng glanced at it coldly, without saying a word, and went straight inward, and Lang Yue threw down his sword and entered the inner cave.
Cheng Zheng sat down in the main seat, and Lang Yue stood on one side,
The two lowered their heads, "The subordinates are incompetent. ”
Chai Yi added, "The subordinates found out that the second master did not enter the palace alone that night, according to the description of the dark man of Chaser Feng Hall, it would not be wrong to be Yao Menghan who should be with him. ”
Cheng Zheng was surprised, Yao Menghan also entered the palace? At that time, only Yuanxin was captured, so Menghan was the one hiding in the grass? Taken out at dawn? Where will it go? There are countless things in and out of the palace gate every day, and there is really no way to check it, is it possible that she is still in the palace? Who took her away? Why did you kidnap her? Could it really be that someone has taken a fancy to her unusualness? From the time Meng Han rescued Du Ruo, Cheng Zheng suspected that she had attracted attention, but he couldn't think of who would have tied her up, if so, her life would be worry-free for the time being. Cheng Zheng pondered for a while, then had an idea in his heart, nodded and said, "Let's continue to investigate." ”
"Yes." After chasing after the words and stopping, he struggled a few times and still spoke, "Wen Yu ...... her"
"I killed it." Lang Yue said bluntly.
Chaiyu was indignant, "Even if Wen Yu is at fault with her, you are the same hall master as her, what right do you have to execute her privately?" ”
"Do I need to explain to you if I killed her!" Lang Yue asked coldly.
Chasing a shudder, knowing that he was not Lang Yue's opponent, he stopped talking.
"You have a good relationship with her, huh?" Lang Yue walked up to Chaser and asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.
Chaser hurriedly knelt down, "No." I just saw Wen Yu being killed in the cave, and I had doubts. "After all, it has only been a few days since she was promoted to the hall master, if she has a great friendship with Wen Yu, it means that she has had a relationship with Wen Feng Tang as early as when she was chasing Yin as the hall master. The crime of cross-court personal relationship is enough to cost her half her life.
Lang Yue snorted coldly and lightly picked the corners of her eyes, "What's not so nervous about you?" ”
Chaser stood up tremblingly, "No. ”
Cheng Zheng took out a leaf from his waist that was folded several times inside and out, and handed it to Lang Yue, "This is yours, right?" ”
Lang Yue took it and opened it, "Yes." ”
"You took the treasure and the pearl?"
"Yes."
Cheng Zheng was furious, "Just because of the three broken beads, Yuanxin is still in prison now!" ”
Lang Yue hurriedly explained, "The subordinates didn't know that it was the second master who was captured, and if the subordinates knew, they would never leave the second master behind." ”
Cheng Zheng sighed, "That's it, where are the beads?" ”
"Used." Lang Yue obviously had a tentative tone when she replied, because she didn't dare to guarantee that Cheng Zheng would be even more angry after hearing this.
Cheng Zheng walked down the steps and walked in front of Lang Yue, "Tell me what you want in the future." Cheng Zheng's tone was very soft and soft, but it clearly contained a bit of suffocating sharpness.
Seeing that Cheng Zheng was going out, Lang Yue returned, "Wenfeng Hall Master......"
"It's up to you." Cheng Zheng was still angry, and left without looking back.
When Yingxun and Chayi went out, Chai Yi sighed, "Langyue is really favored, kill Wen Yu, the door owner didn't even ask a word, the second master was arrested, and the door owner didn't punish him." ”
"What Lang Yue does has her own reasons." Yingxun said indifferently.
Chai Yi was very dissatisfied, and said as if no one was around, "We worked hard to get into today's position, Lang Yue she can ride on our heads without any merits, I just can't swallow this breath." ”
Yingxun was very peaceful, and gently persuaded, "It's not that Lang Yue has no merits, but she doesn't remember merits in doing things." ”
"Don't keep merit? I don't think she has anything to remember about staying in the cave all day, who doesn't want to leave two more notes in the merit book to ask the door master to appreciate. ”
Ying Xun chuckled lightly and stopped explaining.
Chai Yi complained again, "The owner of the door just likes her, he favors her in everything, and she can even disobey the door rules, which is really unfair." ”
"There are more unfair things, you take care of yourself, you and Wen Yu, if Langyue delves into it today, will you still have a way to live?"
"Wen Yu joined the same group of dark people as us, trained together for many years, was born and died together, and saved my life, what's wrong with me holding a grievance for her?"
Seeing that Yingxun was silent, he said again, "You don't care about the people around you so much? You don't care so much about the one around you? ”
Ying Xun ignored it and walked forward on his own.
After Cheng Zheng came out of the Sunset Cave, he saw that there was still a period of time when the door of the Li Palace was locked, so he went to Qinghe Palace.
At that time, Menghan was crying, making trouble and hanging herself, and was locked up for two days, not to mention the depression after losing her freedom, which has always been noisy, and she was even more anxious when she didn't know anything about the outside news. I don't know what happened to Yuanxin, and I don't know if Cheng Zheng will care if they don't see them for two days, or I think the two of them ran out to play. When will he be able to get out, Cheng Zhengyuanxin can't imagine that he is locked up here, what method should he use to pass on the news, and how should he deal with this difficult princess, is it so wasteful? The princess's patience is also limited, how long can it last?
Menghan is bored, depressed, anxious and worried, and can make a few scenes every day, watching her farce after farce with a cold eye, and she seems quite calm. Keeping a wild horse at home always has to be adapted.
Meng Han was tired and only gave birth for a while, and said to her: "If the girl is tired, go to sleep, in order to prevent the girl from dreaming of fighting and tossing with others in the middle of the night, she will be wronged by the girl tonight." ”
As soon as he waved his hand, two eunuchs approached with ropes.
Menghan stepped back vigilantly and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Tie it up." As soon as the words fell, the two eunuchs held Meng Han and tied his hands and feet firmly, and Meng Han shouted, "Hey, what should I do if I want to go to the thatched house in the middle of the night?" It's not good to pee on the bed. ”
Yilin immediately blushed, is this a woman, it's too uneducated, why is she talking so nonsense in public, and she is so smooth, not ashamed. was embarrassed and indignant, and then Qingzhu came over, "Princess Qiyu, Duanhou Ye is here." ”
When Menghan heard that it was Cheng Zheng, he struggled to jump up despite his hands and feet being tied, and smiled smugly at Xiang Yilin, "Hahaha, my savior is here." ”
Yilin's heart was tight, he wouldn't really know about it, and he didn't forget to demonstrate to Menghan while being nervous, "If I don't let go, he may not be able to save you." ”
Meng Han was about to open his mouth and shout out, but as soon as he made a color to the eunuch next to him, several eunuchs understood and blocked Meng Han's mouth, and Meng Han struggled to eat as hard as he could, shaking his head and shaking his head, his face flushed. If I miss this village, how many years will I have to wait.
"Look after her." After the order, he went out, and the front hall was only one door away from the inner hall, and Meng Han could clearly hear the conversation outside.
Yilin sat in the front hall, Qingzhu led Cheng Zheng in, and Yilin showed a bright smile, "Why are you here so late?" ”
"Thank you for today's event."
Hearing Cheng Zheng's voice, Menghan was overjoyed, she struggled desperately, but she was pressed by several people at the same time, and she was gagged, and she couldn't attract the attention of the outside at all.
Yilin chuckled, "You haven't been here for a long time in this Qinghe Palace, but you have been polite to me." ”
Cheng Zheng was full of apologies, "I couldn't find a Fenghan Nine Pearls anywhere for a while, so I had to ask Jinfeng to borrow it from you." It's just ordinary if it's ordinary, but this piece in your hand is a relic of the queen, and it's too valuable. ”
Yilin didn't take it to heart, and said lightly, "No matter how valuable things are, they are only valuable if they can help you." ”
Cheng Zheng's face was solemn, "As soon as I come, I want to say sorry to you." ”
"Why?"
"Feng contains nine pearls, and the emperor dissolves the inner servant. I didn't expect the emperor to really be disgusted with Jiaorong so much, I thought that it would be back to you after just a turn. ”
A trace of loneliness flashed on Linlin's face, fleeting, and soon regained her elegant smile, and said generously, "It's okay, if it dissolves, it will dissolve, it is just an ornament here for me, and it is useless." ”
Cheng Zheng said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I couldn't pay you back after all." ”
Yilin shook his head with a smile and comforted Cheng Zheng, "It's not important, it's not important at all, I'm very happy to be able to help you." There are only two things that can make me happy in this world, one is to be by your side, and the other is to be able to do something for you. ”
"I'm sorry for you."
"No, you and I never need to be so polite, even if you and your sister become relatives, I hope we can still maintain the calmness between us for more than ten years."
Cheng Zheng nodded and said solemnly, "Of course." ”
With a light smile, he went back to sit down, "Then what do you have to do, don't you say it?" ”
Cheng Zheng asked in surprise, "Do you know that I came for something?" ”
"Is there anyone in the world who knows you better than I do? Come here at night just to say an apology, you're not that kind of person. ”
"And what kind of person am I?"
"Children's love has never been the first in your eyes," Yilin affectionately recalled the past of the two of them, her smile gradually faded, and she stroked Cheng Zheng's chest with her hand, "I remember you said that you can sit in today's position by ability and means, not children's love." I've been learning from you, but I've never been able to. ”
Cheng Zheng shook her hand, "Even if I am someone else's husband, your position in my heart will never change, and I will still only kill and defend the country for you." ”
He buried his head and smiled bitterly, it turns out that you can just guard the country for me.
"Bang", the sound of the vase breaking the ground came from the inner hall, breaking the deep affection between the two, and as soon as they came back to their senses, they hurriedly ordered Qingzhu, "Go and see what's wrong?" ”
After a while, Qingzhu came out of it, "The palace maid accidentally broke the vase while cleaning, and the slave maid will dispose of her later, so the princess doesn't have to bother." ”
Yilin nodded and said to Cheng Zheng, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
"I want three treasures and pearls."
"Found the real murderer, right?"
"Yes, but I can't say."
As soon as he came, he didn't ask more, "Qingzhu, go and get three treasures and pearls." ”
After Cheng Zheng took the beads and left, he went to the inner hall and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to let go of Menghan, "Your savior is gone." ”
Menghan collapsed on the bed weakly, his face was full of tears, where could he still take care of the pride of committing, the saddest thing was not despair, but seeing hope, and then watching it disillusioned with his own eyes, he was completely helpless and powerless.
Cheng Zheng didn't save me, Cheng Zheng didn't know that I was here, so who could still find me? How long am I going to be locked up? Who can save me?
Menghan was hoarse, I didn't want to cry, I didn't want to shout, I didn't want to struggle anymore, I didn't want to toss anymore, I was tired, I was really tired, I wanted to sleep, just let me sleep well, ignore me, leave me alone, and no one would come.
On the morning of the next day, Cheng Zheng and Yang Shu looked for the guards who were in charge of the Lile Hall in the early morning of the next day, and inquired in detail about the entry and exit at that time. The guard recalled the scene at that time, and when he said that a handyman in the museum sent out a cart of old things, Yang Shu felt suspicious, "What kind of old things?" ”
"It's just some worn-out dance costumes and musical instruments." The guard replied.
Yang Shu continued to ask, "Have you opened it and checked?" ”
"Yes, Lord Yao explained that he would be strictly investigated, so the small one opened it and took a look."
"Just looking?"
"At that time, the person who delivered the things was in a hurry, and the small one rummaged in the box a few times, and did not feel abnormal, so he let it go."
Yang Shu was suspicious, "Do you remember who the person who delivered the things at that time?" ”
The guard shook his head blankly, "I can't remember the little one." ”
"Does he have a waist card?"
The guard seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and nodded again and again, "Yes, the little one remembers checking his waist card at that time, but there are more than ten people coming in and out in the early morning, and the little one really can't remember." ”
"Do you remember what he looked like?"
"This," said the guard, embarrassed, "it's been two or three days, and it's really not clear if you have an impression." ”
When Yang Shu was about to continue asking, someone outside the door hurriedly came in, "Lord Qiduan, Lord Yang, a pawnshop in the south of the city has found traces of Bao and Mingzhu. ”
"Oh?" Yang Shu quickly stepped forward, "Go and have a look." ”
Yang Shu Chengzheng took people to the Li Ji pawnshop in the south of the city, Yang Shu asked the pawnshop shopkeeper, Li shopkeeper said the scene at that time, "At that time, there was a big man, the accent is not like the people of the capital, he took out a bead and asked me how much money I can be, I see that this bead is crystal round throughout, the color and texture are all on the top of the product, it is really a rare treasure." The grass people casually asked him about the origin of the beads, and he swallowed and spit out, covering them up, and the grass people suspected that the beads were coming from in the wrong way, so they asked Xiao Er to quietly report to the official. ”
Yang Shu asked anxiously, "And then?" ”
Then the grass man told him that this bead was too valuable, and the exact value of the pearl still had to be summed up with the head of the shop, and asked him to wait for a while with tea in the small hall, and the grass man kept him until the officers and soldiers came."
"Very good," Yang Shu nodded with satisfaction, "What about others?" ”
"Officers and soldiers are watching."
Yang Shu said happily, "If you can solve the case this time, you will be rewarded indispensably." ”
Shopkeeper Li thanked them again and again and led them out.
Then Yang Shu interrogated the big man, and found out that the person behind the scenes was the Jiangyang thief, Yang Shu took the beads and sent them to the palace, and notified the military department to deploy troops at the place where the strong man and the big thief met to prepare for arrest.
