188 This king was not married
"It's not!" Zhou Ji subconsciously retorted.
Jun Qinglan hooked the corners of her lips slightly: "You answered too quickly." β
Zhou Ji was so eager that he seemed to be quite resistant to getting married, so much so that he was a little excited when he heard those three words. He retorted eagerly, and no matter how he looked, it was a little deliberate.
"The facts don't need to be considered, they will naturally be fast."
"Steward Zhou, I'll ask you about someone. Do you know Changxinghou? β
Zhou Ji's eyes shrank almost invisibly, but he immediately frowned, and seemed to think very seriously for a moment before saying: "When I first founded the Yingtian Sect, I used to run around in Yanjing City, and it seems that I had a relationship with the Marquis of Changxing. β
"Only one side?" Jun Qinglan sneered and said, "I'm afraid not." Didn't you single-handedly promote the marriage of the third lady of the Su family back then? β
"Moreover, I heard that when Miss Su San was buried with her husband, it was Steward Zhou who was present and personally did the ritual. You shouldn't forget such an important thing. β
"Really?" Zhou Ji's lips twitched, and his smile was slightly embarrassed: "Ying Tianjiao is busy with affairs, and there are too many people who have had contact with me. I really can't remember some of them, so please forgive me. β
Jun Qinglan pursed her lips and stared at Zhou Ji for a long time before she said slowly: "Speaking of which, the relationship between Steward Zhou and Duan Wang Ye is also very deep. He has set four princesses, and unfortunately, these four princesses are all worthy of heavenly marriage. Steward Zhou thinks that you don't need to give Duan Wang Ye an explanation? β
"Where there are four, it's clearly three!"
"Oh?" Jun Qing's blue eyes condensed, and he flatly denied that he was familiar with the Marquis of Changxing, but subconsciously said that there were three princesses of Duan who were worthy of heavenly marriage, which was a bit unspeakable.
Among Li Congyao's several fiancΓ©es, Xiao Wan is a special existence. When she died, Zhou Ji had already joined the underground black market, although she also died in a marriage, but Jun Qinglan had examined her and Su San's bodies and faintly felt that the two of them seemed to have a different way of dying. Zhou Ji's reaction was enough to prove her conjecture.
It seems that in Zhou Ji's world, Xiao Wan has been excluded from the people he knows.
"Steward Zhou didn't know that not long ago, the emperor once again selected a princess for Prince Duan, who was Xiao Guifei's sister Xiao Wan. On the eve of the big gift, Xiao Wan's body was found under a tree on the outskirts of Beijing. The cause of death is exactly the marriage that you should advocate in the Heavenly Sect. β
"It can't be!" Zhou Ji said firmly: "The Ying Tian Sect disappeared three years ago, without the blessing of the old man or the disciples of Ying Tian, where can it become a heavenly marriage?" It's nothing more than an imitation of the East. β
Jun Qinglan looked sideways: "Are you so sure?" β
"Naturally!" Zhou Ji only nodded, but did not explain. After a long time, he suddenly looked up at Li Congyao: "The one who died is ...... Princess Duan? β
"This king is not married." Li Congyao opened his mouth lightly.
The man's narrow phoenix eyes stared at Jun Qinglan for a moment, as if he was a little bit worried about the three words of the princess. Jun Qinglan shrugged, he had killed four quasi-princesses one after another, and of course he was in a bad mood when he heard those three words. But are facts facts, so why bother to explain them? Is it really good to be so shy about avoiding medical treatment?
"The deceased Xiao Wan is indeed a woman who is about to marry into the Duanwang Mansion."
Although she felt that Li Congyao had a small belly and chicken intestines, Jun Qinglan deliberately used a more verbose way to replace the three words Princess Duan.
"If that'......." Zhou Ji pondered for a moment, and his eyes quickly swept over Li Congyao's face: "Perhaps...... Miss Xiao did die in a marriage. β
Jun Qinglan squinted, although Zhou Ji's voice was vain and lacking confidence, his tone was firm, and there was no hesitation. He glanced at Li Congyao a little strangely, his gaze was flickering, and his speed was elusive. That looks a little ...... Guilty.
What is he doing in his heart?
"You just said categorically that it would be impossible for you to marry after the disappearance of the Ying Heavenly Sect, why did you change your mind after a while?"
Zhou Ji blinked: "There are dark clouds covering the moon, which blinds the old man's eyes, so he has never seen the truth." At this moment, the moon is in the sky, and the brilliance is flashing, and the old man calculates that the young lady has soared into an immortal and meets a good match. The so-called Taoist Mystic Law is not the same if it is slightly different. β
His face was serious, he talked eloquently, and his words were righteous, but Jun Qinglan was speechless when he heard it. Can you be a little more serious when you talk nonsense? Everyone is in the cabin now, and all you can see when you look up is the roof, but you should find the moon to come out and show you!
"I have one last question." Jun Qinglan slowly raised a finger towards Zhou Ji: "Since you have led the Ying Tian Sect to the underground black market, there is no trace of the Ying Tian Sect in the entire world. So may I ask, who will preside over Xiao Wan's matchmaking marriage? β
"This ......." Zhou Ji's voice suddenly got stuck in his throat, and his complexion suddenly changed very mysteriously: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be revealed." Otherwise, the wrath of the gods will surely bring disaster upon the world. β
Jun Qinglan hehe. Everyone is a normal person, is it really okay to talk like this all of a sudden? Can't you have a pleasant chat!
Zhou Ji closed his eyes slightly, his hands made a handprint to his chest, and there were words in his mouth, and his face was full of unspeakable sacredness.
Jun Qinglan looked at him for a long time, and suddenly turned his head: "Lord Duan, we can go back." β
"Yes." Li Congyao dusted off his shirt and got up and raised his feet.
"That's it...... Let's go? Rong Xi blinked, and there was a little dullness in his eyes. Didn't you just get to the point? How...... Suddenly gone? I always feel like I didn't accomplish anything when I came here today.
However, he had only a thought, and the two masters in the cabin were already about to walk out. The two abnormal men in the room stared at each other, their faces confused.
"Rongxi, aren't you leaving?" Li Congyao's voice was light and slightly cool. But there is no doubt about it.
"Just come, just come." Rong Xi shook off the dust and quickly caught up.
When he walked to Zhou Ji's side, his footsteps subconsciously paused. Raising his eyes to him, he quickly whispered in his ear, "You are now an outcast." If you want to survive, you only have one chance in front of you. β
His words were swift and vague. However, Rong Xi believes that Zhou Ji will definitely be able to understand. Because his voice had just fallen, he heard Zhou Ji shouting Please stay.
"The old man just took a hexagram for Miss Xiao." Zhou Ji said unhurriedly: "This case is a hexagram that the hidden dragon should not use. β
He bowed to the two: "Regarding this case, the old man has said all he has to say, and please refer to the prince and the king carefully." If the sky is revealed, the case will be solved. β
Jun Qinglan looked back at Zhou Ji. The man had closed his eyes tightly, saluted with one hand, bowed his head, and refused to say a word more. Zhou Ji at this moment is different from the posture she has just seen. On the high platform, he is a businessman. When he first entered the cabin, he was arrogant with a bit of tentative uneasiness. After that, I was low and panicked.
However, at the moment, he is introverted, profound and silent. Such a Zhou Ji is worthy of the rumored Ying Tiandao people.
"Thank you." Jun Qinglan hooked the corner of her lips and followed Li Congyao out of the cabin.
In the silence, Zhou Ji slowly straightened up. Step by step to the window, looking at the darkness of the water and sky, motionless. It wasn't until he saw the big and bright star in the eastern canopy that the smile on the corner of his lips suddenly added a little bitterness of unknown meaning. Less leaning, the bright star suddenly cut down from the sky, holding up a bright and narrow tail. In a flash, he disappeared into the darkness.
Zhou Ji's fingers moved slightly, and the tips of his fingers were staggered. But for a moment, his eyes suddenly became solemn.
"Don't use the hidden dragon? Hehe! Zhou Ji's laughter suddenly became ethereal, vaguely with a bit of sarcasm. The color of his eyes changed in an instant, and he was more relaxed than ever. Zhou Ji has been pursuing Taoism and liberation all his life, but he is sinking into the red dust and power desire day by day. In the past, the fairy wind Dao bone was nothing more than an illusion made to cater to the appetite of the world.
He never imagined that when he completely gave up the pursuit of life. In such a dark place, I actually found the first throbbing in my heart.
"Dust to dust, dust to dust." Zhou Ji's voice was low, talking to himself. Reaching out, he closed the window of the cabin.
With a muffled bang, the man's gray hair completely disappeared into the vast night.
At that end, Jun Qinglan walked out of the cabin and saw Li Congyao standing on the stairs down waiting for her. The man's narrow phoenix eyes were half-squinted, as if he had no emotion, but he had an insight into everything.
"Found what you were looking for?" He said.
"Yes." Jun Qinglan bowed to him: "Thank you Lord Duan for your help." β
Li Congyao stood tall and jade, and looked at her as usual: "You don't have to thank this king." It's all up to you. β
Jun Qing's blue eyes froze, and he said yes in a low voice.
Li Congyao is very strange!
Since Xiao Wan's case, she has vaguely felt that Li Congyao is different from before. In the past, when she was handling cases, although that person was not very involved, he was always able to help at the most critical time. But this time...... He seemed genuinely reluctant to meddle.
His attitude almost made her suspect that he was the murderer. After all, these women who died in vain have an inseparable relationship with him, and Li Congyao really has a lot of reason to be suspected!
However, Jun Qinglan was reluctant to doubt Li Congyao. If even he is not worthy of being trusted, is there anyone in this world who can be trusted?
"I'll find out the truth." She walked to his side, her voice low and thin that only the two of them could hear: "I will not let any good man be wronged." Naturally, no sinner will be spared. β
Jun Qinglan looked at his eyes cautiously: "No matter what the identity of that person is." β
"Yes." Li Congyao replied lightly: "This king hopes that you can be consistent." β
Jun Qinglan followed Li Congyao off the boat. By the time she came down from the second floor, all the guests in the hall on the first floor had already left. Only the thugs and subordinates of the black market remained, all of them wilted and sluggish. It seems that they were all affected by Zhou Ji's affairs.
On the deck, brocade clothes stood with their hands in hand. Seeing the two of them from a distance, he squatted down and saluted: "The dark lord instructed the slaves and maids to escort several nobles ashore." β
Her eyes were slightly cold, and she did not hide the intense hatred in her eyes. Sideways pointed to the willow leaf clipper under the boat, and said coldly: "Please!" β
