Chapter 48: The Cat-and-Mouse Game

Several people returned to Yuanning Mansion as fast as they could, and gently pushed the door, the door was open, probably the door left for them by the housekeeper. A few people walked in softly, returned to their rooms and began to pack up. Shang Ling put the little fox in his arms on his bed, ran to Yu Cihe's room and knocked on the door and called softly, "Yu Cihe! Yu Jihyuk! "No one in the room responded. Shang Ling was in a hurry and couldn't rush in directly, what should he do? Suddenly, he thought of a solution. He ran to the window, and one rolled over and hung out of the window. Grabbing the window edge with one hand and the wall with the other, he leaned sideways and leaned in, but he saw nothing. He rolled over and returned to the house. When he was anxious, there was a sound of the door opening outside the window. Shang Ling leaned over cautiously. I saw Yi Yunchang open the door and walked in calmly. Shang Ling hurriedly turned sideways to cover, for fear that Yi Yunchang would discover his traces. He waited for Yi Yunchang to walk in, but it backfired. The housekeeper suddenly walked out and was catching up with Yi Yunchang, and the two began to talk.

Shang Ling scolded in his heart: "These two people too, what do you talk about without sleeping in the middle of the night?" I don't have time to chat in the middle of the day, so it's just at this time! He tiptoed away from the window, walked to Xuan Zhuyi's room, pushed the door in, and whispered, "Senior Brother Xuan, we can't leave!"

Xuan Zhuyi was taken aback, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "What's wrong?"

"Yi Yunchang is back. I'm chatting with the housekeeper below! ”

"Chat now?!" Xuan Zhuyi was also shocked, "Don't sleep this big night?!" ”

"Huh? Senior Brother Xuan? You say, they can't be complicit, right? ”

"Possibly. In this big night, apart from us being awake, there are still people who are idle and don't sleep? When the housekeeper went out at this time, he must have picked up Yi Yunchang! ”

"So what do we do?"

Xuan Zhuyi thought for a moment and said, "Let's gather our own people first, and don't make any mistakes."

"Good!" Shang Ling trotted out one by one, called Mu Zhixi, Mu Jinggong and Ouyang Ruolin out one by one, and gathered in Xuan Zhuyi's room.

Mu Zhixi: "Where's Miss Yu?"

Shang Ling: "I called her, but there was no sound." It may be that I am sick and fall asleep. Anyway, we can't leave today, so it doesn't hurt to let her rest well. ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "Then let's ...... today"

Mu Jinggong: "I think that if Yi Yunchang wants to be unfavorable to us, he will not do it in public, we still have a chance."

Xuan Zhuyi: "That's it for today." Everyone is tired, so it's better to take a good rest and see the opportunity tomorrow. ”

The group went back to their rooms. After Shang Ling went back, he suddenly remembered the little fox he had brought back, so he walked to the side of the bed to look. The little fox had already woken up, raised his head and looked at Shang Ling with big eyes, jumped out of bed, jumped up to the window again, and jumped down with a "poof".

"Hey!" Shang Ling also followed to the window. I saw the little fox jump to the ground, run a few steps quickly, get up and jump, jump over the wall, and go to the other side.

"Hey! This little guy, I saved it and ran away without doing anything. Run, run, don't be bullied next time. With that, he went back to sleep. It may be that I tossed back and forth for too long that night, and several people woke up late, but as soon as I woke up, I encountered a major event.

As soon as a few people woke up, they heard a cacophony outside. A few people packed up and went down to see what was going on. The gate of Yuanning Mansion was wide open, and there were many people surrounding the gate of the mansion, as if there were many officers and soldiers. Everyone from the Gongsun family gathered outside the door, and even Yu Tzu Hyuk was standing on the side. Xuan Zhuyi and several people also came out and stood next to Yu Cihe.

Shang Ling: "Huh? Yu Tzu-hyuk? How are you? Are you feeling better? ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "It's fine."

Xuan Zhuyi: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Why are there so many officers and soldiers? ”

Yu Cihe: "Gongsun Yu Min died suddenly, I woke up this morning and saw these officers and soldiers here, it is said that after a while, King Anyang will come in person."

Mu Zhixi: "King Anyang? Isn't it in the capital? Why did you rush here as soon as something happened? ”

Yu Cihe: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Anyang is doing something around here, and he should be able to arrive soon."

Shang Ling: "Why is Yi Yunchang there?"

Ouyang Ruolin: "Appearing is the real distancing from yourself, so that everyone present knows how worried you are about Mr. Gongsun."

Mu Jinggong: "What a villain."

As he was talking, Xiao Yuhuan, the king of Anyang, also came to Yuanning Mansion with a part of his troops. Everyone scattered to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness Xiao Yuhuan, King of Anyang. As soon as everyone dispersed, Xuan Zhuyi and the others saw Gongsun Yu Min's body. This corpse is really a little horrible. The corpse was covered in blood, Gongsun Yumin's eyes were still open, and his mouth was open, as if he wanted to say something before he died, there was a very deep scratch on his neck, and he felt that when he touched it, his whole head fell off. The blood stains on the scratches on the neck had all been drained, and the shriveled neck did not match the huge head and huge body. Xiao Yuhuan took a few steps forward, glanced at the corpse, pinched his nose, and walked in front of Gongsun Mufan with a disgusted expression. The people of the Gongsun family all saluted Xiao Yuhuan, the king of Anyang.

Gongsun Mufan: "Gongsun Mufan has seen His Royal Highness the King of Anyang."

Xiao Yuhuan: "Ling Zun died, this king also feels sorry, and he will definitely investigate this case thoroughly and give Ling Zun a sense of peace."

Gongsun Mufan: "In this way, I will thank His Royal Highness the King of Anyang."

Xiao Yuhuan beckoned to the person behind him and said, "Dispose of the corpse, this king is going to handle the case!"

All the soldiers stepped forward one after another, carefully covered with a white cloth, lifted the corpse and left the gate of Yuanning Mansion. Xiao Yuhuan got up and entered the Yuanning Mansion, and Gongsun Mufan greeted Xiao Yuhuan into the mansion. Gongsun Wenyu turned to Xuan Zhuyi and the others: "Master Xuan, let's go in first." His Royal Highness the King of Anyang came to investigate the case, and I think you may not be able to return to Lingxian Pavilion until later. ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "It's okay, it's okay, these are trivial things." However, Ling Zun died, so you should mourn and change, don't be too sad but hurt your body! ”

Gongsun Wenyu: "Thank you for your concern." Let's go inside. Everyone followed Gongsun Wenyu into Yuanning Mansion again. There were Gongsun Mufan and Xiao Yuhuan, the king of Anyang, in the main hall, and it was inconvenient for everyone to go to the main hall, so they took the opportunity to return to their room, and Yi Yunchang also returned to his room. Everyone gathered in Xuanzhuyi, discussing the follow-up in detail.

Mu Zhixi: "It seems that we can't leave even if we want to." Now, His Royal Highness the King of Anyang is here, if we leave, won't it be in vain to increase the trouble and make people think that we are thieves! ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Anyang can find the murderer."

Shang Ling: "It's really a superfluous move, isn't the murderer in this mansion?" It's still living steadily. ”

Mu Jinggong: "Can we report Yi Yunchang to His Royal Highness King Anyang?"

Xuan Zhuyi: "No, it must not be like this." If we report it, it will definitely involve us. Now there are only a few of us in this mansion who have nothing to do with Yuanning Mansion, and if there is anything suspicious, we must let us take the blame. We can't let Lingxian Pavilion wipe away the shame in vain. Moreover, we saw it and reported it, why didn't we save Mr. Gongsun? Let's see death and not save it. A few disciples of the Immortal Dao cultivated didn't save them when they saw death, what was going on? They must not believe that Yi Yunchang is no longer human. Although the people of Yuanning Mansion seem to be more polite to us now, when they think that we will not be saved when we die, what do you think their attitude will be? Forget a few of us, but the relationship between Lingzun and the Gongsun family can't be broken just because of a few of us! ”

Mu Jinggong: "That's what I said!"

Yu Cihe: "Wait a minute, Senior Brother Xuan? You just said that Yi Yunchang is no longer human. Why is he not human? ”

Shang Ling: "I'll tell you this, I saw with my own eyes that he has three snake heads, is this still a human?"

Yu Cihe thought for a moment and said, "Maybe someone is using him to do something." If according to what Gongsun Yu Min said at the beginning, Yi Yunchang is a monk with a high level of understanding. A monk with a high level of understanding can not only have higher cultivation and achievements, but also easily go mad. The purpose of his coming to Yuanning Mansion to find Gongsun Yu Min was very clear, and he was also sure that he was doing it in the Mid-Autumn Festival. So someone should have taken advantage of his madness and asked him to do it. ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "In this way, someone behind Yi Yunchang is actually instructing him?"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "That's probably the case."

Shang Ling: "I don't know if you've noticed." I always felt that His Royal Highness King Anyang was here suddenly...... Total...... Something doesn't make sense. In other words, I always feel a little unreasonable. ”

Mu Zhixi: "I feel that way too. I always feel that His Royal Highness King Anyang has been prepared for Yuanning Mansion a long time ago. ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "But Mr. Gongsun Yu Min has already withdrawn from the court, why harm him?" If they want to get some support, it shouldn't be a murder! ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "There are too many doubts now. So is Yi Yunchang a murderer? Shang Ling? Do you see clearly? ”

Shang Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "When you ask this, I don't know a little."

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

"I ......," Shang Ling said, "Actually, I was standing behind a tree, and I heard the conversation between two people, and I also saw the scene of Gongsun Yu Min dying. However, I only saw that the murderer had three snake-headed things, and I really didn't see who it was...... Belch...... I'm judging by their conversations. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "What did they say?"

Shang Ling: "I heard them say that I haven't seen you for a long time, why haven't you come to the house, but at this time, about this kind of place." I think, since Yi Yunchang and us came to Xuancheng County, haven't they never come to Yuanning Mansion? I think that since I haven't seen Mr. Gongsun Yumin for a long time, and I happen to meet in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it must be Yi Yunchang. ”

Yu Tzu He: "Then let's see what His Royal Highness King Anyang will do first."
