Chapter Eighty-Four: A Midnight Mystery

The rain had stopped in the middle of the night, and gusts of wind were blowing, carrying a thick moisture that made it particularly cold.

Mrs. Su, who was sitting in a green cloth sedan chair, tightened her collar again.

She bit her lip, her face pale, and her eyes full of anxiety.

"Hurry up again!"

Mrs. Wang, who was accompanying her outside the sedan chair, hurriedly followed and gasped and replied: "Old lady, the night is stormy, the road is slippery, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

"Faster, faster, do you hear that?" Inside the soft sedan car, an eager roar came.

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, "Yes." ”

She shook her handkerchief and raised her hand anxiously, "Hurry up, you guys hurry up." ”

The sedan chair man gritted his teeth and exerted the brute strength of his whole body.

The soft sedan chair carried by eight people suddenly shook even more.

The old lady grabbed the sedan rail, her heart was thrown up and down, and the fear in her eyes was even more obvious.

Mrs. Wang gasped and trotted all the way over.

In the dark night, the green cloth soft sedan soon disappeared.

After a while, the familiar bamboo forest courtyard finally appeared.

The old lady took three steps and made two steps, and was supported by the princess, and hurried inside.

At the beginning of the night rain, water droplets rolled down from time to time in the bamboo forest, falling on the head and face, cold and biting.

She didn't have time to wipe it, and her eyes were full of the familiar small courtyard in front of her.

The bamboo forest courtyard is still the same, shrouded in the vast night, only a dim oil lamp is still bright, and it looks very cold and lonely.

Lonely?

No!

At this moment, in the eyes of Mrs. Su, this elegant and chic courtyard is like a dark and gloomy hell, and the broken lamp is a terrifying and arrogant face, watching them approach step by step with disdain and mockery, panicked, but willingly walked into this dark hell......

"Bang bang bang!"

A dull knock on the door, chaotic and eager.

Mrs. Wang looked at the old lady, saw her tightly knit brows, and was about to continue to bang on the door, and hurriedly said, "Old lady, let's come here or the old slave." ”

There was no answer, followed by a "bang bang bang", a series of knocks on the door, and the force was louder and the rhythm was faster.

Finally, when the old lady was ready to shoot for the third time, the wooden door opened with a "creak".

It was Chu Qing who opened the door, carrying a bamboo lantern, standing there prettyly, very young.

She and Mrs. Wang were obviously stunned.

"But the old lady of the Su family?" Chu Qing opened his mouth first.

"Exactly." The old lady looked at her.

"My son-in-law has been waiting for a long time, please!"

The little girl politely stepped aside and stood respectfully.

At a young age, there is a degree of advance and retreat, which is good!

Old Madam Su sighed in her heart and stepped forward without hesitation.

The princess behind her hurriedly followed.

Entering the house, there was only Murong Qin alone, Chu Qing and Mrs. Wang retreated, and closed the door by the way.

"The old lady came at night, it must be hard, please sit down." Murong Qin leaned on the couch and did not get up to greet him.

Old Madam Su stepped forward, but did not sit down.

"Prince Murong, what do you want to do with my family's Qi Niang?" She couldn't hold back any longer, and asked directly.

On Fang Cai's letter, there are only seven big characters: Qi Niang kills Murong Qin.

He Murong Qin knew that it was Qi Niang who killed San Niang.

How did he know?

Sanniang was really killed by Qi Niang?

Did Sanniang blame Qiniang after he killed Murong Qin?

Why did he kill Sanniang?

The General's Mansion was heavily guarded, how could his people easily enter and exit the General's Mansion and enter and exit Changfeng Hall to deliver letters?

He killed Sanniang this time, will he kill Siniang next time, kill Da Lang, and next time, will he kill Qi Niang?

What is his purpose?

On the way here, the old lady thought about all kinds of possibilities, but the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she couldn't wait to fly to Murong Qin immediately, grab him, and force him to ask, he must ask clearly.

"Sanniang was not killed by Qi Niang, why did Prince Murong frame my family Muli!"

However, she didn't get to the bottom of it, because she still didn't believe it.

"Yes, it is true that the person was not killed by Qi Niang."

Hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with joy, and finally she breathed a long sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging finally landed.

Seeing this, Murong Qin chuckled, "Old lady, don't be too happy. ”

"Man, I killed it, but ......" he got up, stepped forward, and smiled weirdly.

"But what?" The old lady's heart trembled, and her heart that had just landed hung again

"However, it's your family Muli who did it!"

"Qi Niang?" The old lady couldn't believe it, grabbed Murong Qin's white robe, and gritted her teeth, "You...... What do you mean, Hugh is going to talk nonsense! ”

She doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe it when she is killed, the good Qi Niang will murder San Niang?

What's more, it's still at your Murong Qin's command.

"Qi Niang, why did Qi Niang listen to your instructions?" The old lady spoke fiercely, "It's obviously you who killed Sanniang, it's obviously you!" Now you want to blame Qi Niang, Murong Qin, what are your intentions? ”

At the end of the day, he was already yelling.

However, Murong Qin remained unmoved, his face was as usual, and the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised.

"Whether the person was killed by Qi Niang, the old lady doesn't have to ask me, first, Su Wu Niang has evidence of double-sided embroidered silk cloth peach blossoms, and second, there must be other subordinates who witnessed Qi Niang going out in the middle of the night, if the old lady really doesn't believe it, she can make a big move to investigate thoroughly."

"Su Wuniang?" The old lady tightened her robe, looking nervous, "You and Wu Niang ......"

Murong Qin smiled silently.

The old lady was completely stunned, no wonder Su Wuniang would propose to go to Qi Niang Nuan Pavilion, no wonder she would explain everything in a roundabout way, it turned out to be carefully designed.

"The old lady can not believe in Qi Niang's murder, but she can't deny the fact that many people have seen with their own eyes."

"Multi-person? Who else saw it? ”

Murong Qin laughed wantonly, thinking that Old Madam Su was also concerned about it, otherwise, how could he not guess who it was?

"This matter has been planned for a long time, but Old Lady Dao Su thinks that the people who witnessed the facts can be strangled in one fell swoop?"

When Mrs. Su heard this, she stumbled and turned pale.

Yes, she was confused, Murong Qin was able to deliberately let Qi Niang kill San Niang, how could she let this matter be easily revealed.

"Qi Niang is still unconscious, and the slightly famous doctors in Cen Prefecture have gathered in the General's Mansion, I wonder if those quacks can come up with some useful methods?" Murong Qin turned around, his face was cold, "The head was hit, the medicine stone was useless, and these lame excuses were also out to them." ”

"You say yes?"

Old Madam Su's heart ached, and her eyes tightened, "What do you mean?" Could it be that Qi Niang is unconscious? ”

She shook her hands and watched Murong Qin stand in a half-black shadow like a demon, the curvature of the corners of her mouth becoming more and more obvious.

It turned out that it was all him!

The deliberate help of Qi Niang back then, the deliberate approach that day, and today's command and planning, all of this was facilitated by him Murong Qin.

What to do? What to do?

Now Qi Niang is in a coma in bed, San Niang has died tragically, and Wu Niang is actually in harmony with them.

The crux of the question is, why was Qi Niang instructed by his Murong Qin?

Could it be that Qi Niang was coerced and persecuted by him?

With a muffled "bang", Old Madam Su knelt straight in front of Murong Qin, her slightly rickety body and silver white hair, she looked particularly old at this moment.

"Prince Murong, I beg you!" His words trembled, and he breathed in a low voice.

Whether it was a wealthy and aristocratic old lady in her previous life, or an old lady of the General's Mansion in this life, she had never whispered so low to anyone and stooped down so much.

But now she has to.

Qi Niang's life and death are all in his hands Murong Qin.

But he didn't want to, the demon in front of him chuckled, "Old lady, what's the matter?" Please? Beg me to let Qi Niang go, or beg me to leave her a way out? ”

She trembled when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and crawled over, pulling the plain white long sleeves in front of her, "Prince Murong, please show mercy to your subordinates and give Qi Niang a way to live!" ”

"Old body begs you!"

After a while, the room was quiet, and she did not wait for any answer.

Just when Old Madam Su was desperate, she heard a soft sigh.

She was overjoyed, and looked up suddenly, only to see Murong Qin handing over an old book.

"Xitu?" She took it suspiciously, looked at the title of the book, and couldn't help but ask back.

"The old lady should get up and watch." Murong Qin dropped this sentence with a cold face, and sat back on the soft couch by himself.

The stakes were so high that she no longer hesitated, and with great difficulty she got up from the corner of the table, walked closer to the candlelight, and sat down to read it carefully.

For a long time, the room was quiet, even the small "swish" sound of the night breeze blowing through the bamboo forest outside the window was clearly audible. However, seeing the current Mrs. Su, her heart was overturned, especially when she saw the sentence "Once the soul is eaten, life and death are impermanent", the hands holding the book couldn't stop trembling.

"Qi Niang, hit the Soul Eater?" She asked eagerly, her voice shaking.

Murong Qin's eyebrows darkened on the couch and nodded silently.

"You're the Soul Eater?"

"Exactly." replied categorically, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in Mrs. Su's eyes, and she put down "Western Earth" dejectedly, cold and disheartened.

Once the soul is eaten, life and death are impermanent!

Her family's seven mothers, life and death are impermanent!

"Say, what does Prince Murong need his wife to do." She turned around, her eyes were empty, "Anything, you can do it!" ”

The resolute and firm words made Murong Qin tremble when he heard it. How good, no matter life or death, there is such a grandmother who loves her and loves her, who can live for her and die for her, how lucky she is Su Muli.

And he betrayed his relatives!

Murong Qin's heart ached, and he smiled bitterly, "The old lady misunderstood, I made this decision just to save Qi Niang." ”

When Mrs. Su heard this, her face was full of disbelief.

Save Qi Niang, how is it possible!

"A month ago, Qi Niang Su Muli was on the way back to Cen Zhou in Jizhou, her life was in danger, and in a hurry, she could only use forbidden techniques."

"The old lady can read the end of the book, and she will know."

When Mrs. Su heard this, she hurriedly flipped to the end, "Soul devouring lead, life and death appointment!" ”

"What does that mean?"

Murong Qin sighed, but did not answer directly.

She frowned, her expression was eager, and she suddenly thought of what she said before, and suddenly said in surprise, "Devouring his soul with his soul, could it be that you saved Qi Niang?" ”

"Isn't it?" She got up and asked anxiously.

"Yes! Devour the soul of the other with the soul of the other, combine the soul of the gods, and the life can be kept! Murong Qin replied affirmatively.

The old lady staggered, she hurriedly held on to the bamboo chair on the side, panted, and asked, "Then why, do you want to use Qi Niang to kill people?" ”

Saving people is a last resort, but now using Qi Niang with this is not to be spared.

The old lady gritted her teeth, and the fire in her heart rose up.

"Su Sanniang deserves to die."

"But Qi Niang shouldn't do it!"

Murong Qinjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Indeed, this king has countless elite soldiers and secret guards, and an ignorant woman like Su Sanniang can easily strangle her by any person, but I have a reason why Qi Niang has to do it." ”

"Old lady, if this is not the case, how could you have come tonight?"

"Besides, let's talk about the transaction in detail next, right?"

When Old Madam Su heard this, her heart trembled, and she knelt down tremblingly, her head hanging heavily, "Now, our lives are in the hands of Prince Murong, and all the power is under your command." It's just"

She raised her head eagerly, her eyes were burning, and her eyes were full of expectation, "It's just that Qi Niang is so innocent, she is young and kind-hearted, if she knows that she killed San Niang with her own hands in the coming days, she will definitely hate herself, and I hope that Prince Murong will be gracious, and don't instruct Qi Niang to kill people in the future!" ”

Murong Qin closed his mouth tightly and did not answer.

The use of Qi Niang to kill people this time is to ring the alarm bell of the General's Mansion, and as for the future, he may not know.

Outside the window, the night breeze passes through the bamboo forest, carrying the rain over the humidity, bursts of invasion, the bamboo leaves in the wind are fragrant and refreshing, but it is cold and biting.

Old Madam Su shivered from the cold, and her already pale lips were already bruised.

Mrs. Wang said with a crying voice, "Old lady? ”

She stayed outside the door, and waited until the sky showed a glimmer of light, and the old lady Su inside came out, but she stumbled at the door and fell down weakly.

She immediately held on to it, and the touch of her hand was all soaked with sweat, and her old man was like a prostration, drooping in twilight, as if she had escaped from the ghost gate.

"Back to ...... Go back, go back. Trembling words, difficult overflow.

"Okay, go back, let's go back." Mrs. Wang hugged her and fled in a hurry.

In the house, the bean-sized residual lamp flashed several times, and finally went out at once, and a wisp of green smoke dispersed.

The room finally darkened, Murong Qin was hidden in the night, his eyes showed a touch of pain, he was already extremely tired, sighed, closed his eyes and lay down.

He needed Su Muli, he could only act like this, he had to make this decision......
