You must know that this is a blatant murder in front of the officials!

Especially in front of middle and high-level officials like Sun Shaozong, who are known as 'divine judgments'!

This is simply provoking the majesty of the imperial court!

It can even be said that it is a trick to die!

Either the murderer is so angry that he has lost his mind, or he has some compelling reason, otherwise there should be no normal person who would choose to act blatantly in this situation!

And what Zhou Xi did today, the most easily triggered motive is undoubtedly the word 'love', so Sun Shaozong locked Shen Lian as the number one suspect for the first time.

However, after Shen Lian cleared his suspicion, it was difficult to establish the motive of this 'love killing' The man who is strong in martial arts in the world and is willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of a woman who has lost his footing is already very rare to meet one, and he will not be bumped into by Yun'er twice in a row, right?

Excluding the possibility of 'love killing', according to the situation at the scene, the only thing that can form a killing machine is probably the word 'seal'.

The murderer should have for some reason and didn't want Zhou Xi to fall into the hands of the government, so he was willing to take a risk.

Otherwise, he could have waited for Zhou Xi to be released, and then did it unknowingly, or simply expected Zhou Xi to die in prison!

It has something to do with the solar eclipse, and it can be a secret that people can protect with their lives, and it must not be known to the government......

Adding up to these conditions, it is no wonder that Sun Shao will suspect the case of the crown prince or the head of the White Lotus Sect's traitor.

But when he thought about it, he thought it was unlikely.

First of all, the prince's case is carefully planned, and Sun Shaozong still has nowhere to start, how can a mere talent have access to the confidential information in it?

As for the White Lotus Sect's traitors......

Now that Aunt Li has been captured alive, what is the point of intercepting and killing other spies who have been caught?

successively denied the two speculations in his heart, Sun Shaozong asked Yun'er for some details, but he almost gained nothing.

"Brother."

was pondering whether he had missed any suspicions, and Xue Pan next to him came up, rubbed his hands and said, "You said that the person who killed the little white face, could it be the one who attacked me in the first place?" ”

Although he thought about it, he was able to suspect that this product could be suspected of 'love killing', which really surprised Sun Shaozong.

Glancing at Shen Lian out of the corner of his eye, Sun Shaozong nodded without hesitation: "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

Shen Lian hasn't poked out any big baskets yet, for the sake of Lu Jianxing's face, let the murderer carry this pot together.

"I knew it was so!"

Xue Panwei screamed, raised his leg and kicked Yun'er's chest, and scolded in his mouth: "Special mother, how many wild men have you seduced with Lao Tzu on your back?!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Lian next to him almost couldn't help but step forward to stop him, but fortunately, Sun Shaozong grabbed Xue Pan first.

Just as he was about to scold this fool for a few words and ask him not to mess around, Qiu Yunfei's shout suddenly came from outside: "My lord, my lord!" Dead again! ”

Dead again?!

Sun Shaozong suddenly got up and went out to greet him, collided with Qiu Yunfei at the door, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Who is dead again?! ”

"Your Excellency."

Qiu Yunfei hurriedly said: "I went to Zhou Xiucai's house according to your instructions, and before I could call the door, I saw thick smoke billowing from the yard......"

said that when he saw that Zhou Xi's house seemed to be on fire, Qiu Yunfei immediately sent someone to smash the door, but no one responded inside.

Lu Jianxing immediately made a decision, climbed over the wall and opened the door, so that Qiu Yunfei and the others were able to enter.

And everyone looked for the smoke, all the way to the backyard study, and saw a few men and women lying faintly in the fire.

Qiu Yunfei immediately ordered the officials to go in and get people out.

But at that time, the fire was not small, how could the officials dare to go in and take risks?

Just as you were pushing me, it was Lu Jianxing who got wet with well water, rushed into the fire, and carried out the three men and two women who fell inside, but these people had already lost their breath and none of them had survived.

"According to the investigation of the lowly duties, two of the men and two women were slaves in Zhou Xiucai's family, and the fatal wound was a knife wound to the neck."

"The other person has severe facial burns, and it is difficult to distinguish his original appearance, but it can basically be concluded that he is not a servant of the Zhou family."

"His fatal injuries were also not burns, and it is very likely that he committed suicide by poisoning."

An outsider who committed suicide by taking poison?

Severe facial burns?

Sun Shaozong groaned for a moment, and then asked, "What kind of combustible materials does that person have?" Have you ever found a murder weapon nearby? ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from adults!"

Qiu Yunfei smiled: "That guy poured lamp oil on his head, so only the upper half of his body was seriously burned, but the lower half of his body was fineAs for the murder weapon, the firewood knife in the firewood room has traces of being cleaned, but there are no traces of polishing." ”

After a pause, he added: "According to the inquest of the humble position, this person should be a martial arts practitioner, and he has the habit of wearing a wrench on weekdays. ”

Tut~

Obviously, Qiu Yunfei was also suspicious that the one who died of poisoning and burned his face was the murderer who shot Zhou Xi to death with an arrow before.

It's okay to dare to take the risk of killing someone, but now he committed suicide without hesitation......

It seems that even if this matter has nothing to do with the prince's case, the things involved behind it will never be small!

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong immediately ordered: "Let's go, take me to Zhou's house to have a look!" ”

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it was said that when Sun Shaozong went to Zhou's house to inspect the scene, You Shi, the eldest wife of Ning Guofu, also hurried to Wang Xifeng's house.

"Ping'er, Ping'er?!"

As soon as he entered the door, You Shi shouted, and when Ping'er hurriedly came out from the inside, he couldn't help but complain: "Where is your grandmother? That's good, I worked hard to help her prepare for her birthday, and when she came, she left me behind, and the old lady kept saying that I wanted a birthday star, but where did I go to change her out? ”

After complaining, You Shi found that Ping'er was in a trance, and his complexion was a little wrong, although he was facing himself, he seemed to be wandering out of the world.

"How is that?"

You Shihu said suspiciously: "Look at your soulless appearance, and I haven't heard of any little hooves pouring your wine?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Knowing that Jia Lian had a crush on Sun Shaozong, it was not only Wang Xifeng who was impacted, but Ping'er was also frightened, and he has not eased up until now.

However, seeing that You Shi was suspicious, she was afraid that this matter would affect Sun Shaozong's reputation, so she hurriedly cheered up and said: "Our second grandmother just drank a few more cups, and she was a little uncomfortable when the wind blew her, and now that she has fallen asleep, I am afraid that I can only bother you to take care of her in front of the old ancestor's wife." ”

You Shi listened, although she felt that this was a little untrue, but she couldn't find fault with it for a while, and besides, she actually had other things, and wanted to find Ping'er to ask about it.

So he simply diverted the topic, pointed to the hand-copying verandah, and said, "Your grandmother can be busy, don't you want me to rest at your house?" Let's go and sit down under the porch with me, I also happen to have something to ask you about. ”

As he spoke, he went to pull Ping'er's sleeve.

After all, she is the master, how can Ping'er be reluctant to refuse?

I had to half-push and half-obey, and followed You Shi to the hand-copying verandah.

You Shi first pressed her on the railing, then sat down close to her, hugged Ping'er's slender waist, put Hong Shenghuo's lips up, and bit her ear with great interest: "I heard someone say that Brother Lian gave you and that Xiaohong to Sun Jiaerlang together, so that this thing should not be true, right?" ”

As soon as Ping'er heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she was about to jump up from the railing, but she was held down by You Shi.

"Don't worry, I'm just listening to people chewing their tongues indiscriminately, I'm afraid that you will be kept in the dark, and you won't know that you have a bad reputation, if you don't have this kind of thing, I'll let people send those shitty billets when I go back!"

said so, but You Shi saw Ping'er's reaction, but he already believed it in his heart.

And after Ping'er calmed down, although her face turned red, she felt a sense of relief in her heart, and since the news had spread to the East Mansion, it must have spread all over the Rongguo Mansion a long time ago.

In that case, why are you still hiding it?

Anyway, I have already made up my mind to get out of this Rongguo Mansion!

Therefore, Ping'er gritted her silver teeth and blurted out: "This is not a rumor, the second master has indeed promised me to Lord Sun, and Lord Sun also promised to accept me as a concubine, but grandma can't leave me for a while, so she is ready to keep me for a few more days." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ping'er's heart suddenly went to the block, but it was You Shi's turn to be awkward.

She originally heard that Ping'er was sent by Jia Lian to warm Sun Shaozong's bed, but she didn't feel a sense of sympathy, but she never thought that Ping'er was going to Sun's mansion as a concubine!

At this time, You Shi suddenly knocked over the vinegar bottle in his heart, and he turned out sour, and said with a reluctant smile: "Then I want to congratulate you, although Lord Sun is not as good as our Rongning Second Mansion, he is a first-class young talent, and he is a master who can hurt people......"

The more she talked about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, and it seemed that someone had stolen something, and her heart was empty.

Especially when it comes to the word 'it will hurt people', the scene of dying that night suddenly came to mind, and for a while I was lonely, lonely, cold, and upset.

Just when the sky was hot and cold, suddenly a maid ran over as if she was flying, chirping: "Big lady, big lady!" Where did Mrs. Aunt's message come that the old lady was feeling unwell, please go over and take a look. ”

Stepmom is unwell?

Would you like to ask yourself to come and have a look?

Now that she is living in the Sun Mansion, what is there only to explain to the servants of the Sun family, why do you need to find herself?

After thinking about it for a while, You Shi guessed that her stepmother was probably afraid of delaying the marriage of her third sister, so she hurriedly called herself over to explain something.

So he ordered: "You tell the person who came, I really can't leave now, and when the matter at hand is dealt with, I will go over and see the old lady." ”
