Chapter 408: The Enchantress

Qi Ning saw an extremely complicated look on Wei Shutong's face, and he knew very well in his heart that this person was in extreme contradiction and hesitation, and even in extreme fear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The dignified Xichuan assassin history became so weak, Qi Ning was very surprised.

To be able to guard one side of Xichuan Town, and was arranged by the first emperor to monitor Li Hongxin, the king of Shu, before meeting Wei Shutong, Qi Ning had always thought that this person was naturally extremely cunning and shrewd, but looking at him at this moment, it was obviously very different from the Xichuan assassin history he imagined.

Qi Ning knew that the first emperor should not use the wrong person, and Wei Shutong must have suffered great changes when he became what he is now.

Seeing Wei Shutong's complicated expression, Qi Ning frowned slightly, his voice was not as cold as before, and he said softly: "Master Wei, you have guarded Xichuan all these years, and Xichuan is also peaceful, even the current emperor, in front of me, I also praise you." The emperor has just ascended the throne, and it is the time to employ people, as long as you, Lord Wei, are loyal to the emperor, even if you make mistakes, it is not irreparable. ”

"Master Hou, the lower officials have no second thoughts about the emperor and the court." Wei Shutong immediately said: "Otherwise, the lower officials would not have exhausted their efforts to write that recital." ”

"In the twists and turns, he didn't say it clearly, it was deliberately vague, the emperor knew that there must be something strange in it, and even thought that you, Lord Wei, might be in trouble." Qi Ning said softly: "The emperor sent me here to find out about this matter, although you can rest assured, as long as you are loyal to the imperial court, this marquis will not sit idly by." Master Wei, what is going on here, you can say that there are only you and me here, and no third person will hear it. ”

Wei Shutong heard Qi Ning's voice relatively softly, and finally said, "Master Hou, actually...... My wife was ...... I killed you! ”

Qi Ning was taken aback, suddenly changed color, and lost his voice: "You....... You killed Madame Zun? ”

Wei Shutong trembled all over, and said hurriedly: "Master Hou...... Master Hou, don't worry, isn't the lower official...... It's not intentional, Xiaguan...... Xia Guan was killed by someone. ”

Qi Ning knew that Mrs. Assassin Shi had died very strangely, but when he heard Wei Shutong admit that he had killed his wife, he was shocked in his heart, and his fists couldn't help but clench, with a cold expression: "Victimized? Master Wei, I hope you have a good reason. ”

"Master Hou, Xiaguan...... The lower officials did not dare to deceive. Wei Shutong smiled bitterly: "That night, the official and his wife had a drink in the elegant hall, and Hua Xiangrong served beside them, everything was fine, but ....... But after a few glasses of wine, Xia Guan suddenly felt in a trance, and his eyes turned black and .......! ”

Qi Ning's heart sank, and he secretly thought that he had had such a situation just now.

I only heard Wei Shutong continue: "I didn't find out until Xia Guan came back to his senses....... Only then did he find that he was holding a long sword in his hand, and Madame...... Madame has collapsed in a pool of blood.......! His face was pale, and his pupils constricted, "Xia Guan only felt that he was distracted in the blink of an eye, but he never thought .......!" ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "You mean you killed Lady Zun without consciousness?" ”

Wei Shutong nodded and said, "That's right." Madame and I have been in a deep relationship for decades, ........ she is kind and ......virtuous! Speaking of this, it turned out to be old tears.

Qi Ning didn't speak, Wei Shutong raised his hand to wipe away his tears with his sleeve, and said: "At that time, my mind was blank, and I didn't know what to do, but at that time, Li Hongxin suddenly appeared. ”

"Li Hongxin?"

Wei Shutong nodded and said, "Exactly." Li Hongxin has donated a lot of temples over the years, and he is very enthusiastic about Buddhism, but to build temples, he needs the approval of the lower officials, and the lot where he built the temple has peasant land, and the lower officials did not dare to rashly approve the documents, so as not to arouse the resentment of the people, so he often went to the assassin's mansion for a while. ”

"You mean, he happened to bump into you and kill someone?" Qi Ning frowned.

Wei Shutong bowed his head and said, "Exactly." At that time, Hua Xiangrong was next to him, and Xia Guan came back to his senses and was about to clean up the corpse, but Li Hongxin came in coldly, and saw the corpse of his wife, and also saw Xia Guan holding a sword in his hand. He smiled bitterly and said, "Xia Guan inadvertently killed his wife, but he was seen by the person who shouldn't have seen it." ”

Qi Ning only felt that this matter was really incredible, and asked: "Li Hongxin doesn't need to pass it on when he enters the Assassination Mansion?" ”

"The lower officials have been in Xichuan for many years, and there was something earlier, and the lower officials all went to the Shu Palace, and at the beginning they had to pass it on, and then Li Hongxin directly ordered that the lower officials could enter and leave the Shu Wangfu at any time." Wei Shutong said: "So the lower official later ordered that Li Hongxin did not need to pass on the entry and exit of the Assassin's Mansion." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly: "I see." ”

"When Li Hongxin saw the situation, he did not hesitate, and personally helped the subordinate clean up his wife's body." Wei Shutong said: "Xiaguan had no master of the six gods at that time, and he was sad in his heart, and he was in a panic when he saw it, so he could only let him help." He warned Hua Xiangrong that he must not leak the matter, and promised Hua Xiangrong on behalf of the subordinate that as long as Hua Xiangrong kept her mouth shut, then after a year, the subordinate could straighten her out. ”

The more Qi Ning listened, the more mysterious he felt, thinking that this matter was really bizarre, and asked, "Except for the three of you, no one else knows about this matter?" ”

Wei Shutong shook his head and said: "There were only three people present at the time, Li Hongxin disposed of his wife's body on the spot, and told the lower officials what to do .......!" His hands trembled, and his voice trembled a little: "Xia Guan was like an evil person at that time, and everything went with him." ”

Qi Ning said: "He asked you to publicize to the outside world that Mrs. Zun died of illness?" ”

Wei Shutong nodded and said, "Exactly." Nishikawa has many bad diseases, and if it is said that his wife died suddenly of an inferior disease, it is barely reasonable. ”

"As far as I know, you will bury Madame Zun soon." Qi Ning stared at Wei Shutong's eyes and asked, "Are you worried that you will have a long night and a lot of dreams, and others will see flaws?" ”

Wei Shutong said: "Yes, I was caught by Li Hongxin and was ...... Xiaguan could only listen to his arrangement at that time, he seemed to be very enthusiastic, and asked Xiaguan to bury his wife as soon as possible, Xiaguan was afraid in his heart, so he could only ...... I can only bury my wife in a hurry, hoping that it will end as soon as possible. ”

Qi Ning took a deep breath, thinking that if he hadn't listened to Wei Shutong's confession with his own ears, it was really hard to imagine that such a strange thing had happened in the Assassin's Mansion.

After a period of silence, Qi Ning finally asked, "Master Wei, you said that you killed Madam Zun by mistake when you were in a trance that night, can you understand the reason afterwards?" ”

Wei Shutong clenched his fists, seriously showing resentment, and said, "Xia Guan couldn't be sure, but ...... But tonight it was certain. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning said: "How do you say this? ”

Wei Shutong said: "Hua Xiangrong, it must be the demon woman who is causing trouble." The Witch....... Femme fatale, it was only the three of me who were there that day, and she must have been the one who caused the evil. ”

Qi Ning immediately thought of Fang Cai's own reaction, and vaguely remembered that he was looking at Hua Xiangrong, suddenly dizzy, and even became in a trance, and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, do you still not know the true origin of Hua Xiangrong, and still think that she is just a play?" ”

Wei Shutong nodded and said, "Yes." In fact...... In fact, Xia Guan secretly sent someone to investigate her, and found the original troupe, according to the people in the troupe, Hua Xiangrong took the initiative to enter their troupe, dancing beautifully, and had an excellent voice, there was such a beauty who could sing and dance took the initiative to ask to enter the troupe, so she stayed. ”

"Then when will she join the troupe?" Qi Ning asked.

Wei Shutong said: "Xiaguan celebrated his birthday, and he started preparations more than a month in advance, and he found the troupe more than half a month in advance, and later Xiaguan learned that Hua Xiangrong entered the troupe at that time." ”

"So, she's coming for you." Qi Ning sneered: "Master Wei, since you have a good relationship with Mrs. Zun, why did you make a temporary decision to accept an actor as a concubine?" ”

Wei Shutong's face was ugly, and he clenched his fists and said: "Master Hou, I can't hide it, at that time...... When I saw her, I ......! Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "That demon woman is a fox spirit, and the lower officials ask themselves to read the books of sages, and they are not virtuous people, and they have never been good women, but ...... But that time I only looked at her twice, and I was fascinated by her, and I just wanted to keep her in the house. ”

Qi Ning thought for a moment and said, "Although Hua Xiangrong's appearance is not bad, she is not a young girl, and she ...... It's not a national beauty, if she has ten points, she is only seven points, Lord Wei is also a person who has seen the world, what kind of woman has not seen it, how can she be shaken because she looks at her twice? Lord Wei won't have anything to hide from Benhou, right? ”

Wei Shutong smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, so far, I will be honest with you about everything, where can I hide it." ”

"That is, the coincidence of that night, you can't be sure if it was really a coincidence, or an elaborate trap?" Qi Ning's eyes were cold, "Do you doubt that Hua Xiangrong could be Li Hongxin's person?" ”

Wei Shutong said: "It's not a secret, but when I think about it later, Xia Guan is also puzzled, why everything is so coincidental, Xia Guan also suspected whether this was Li Hongxin's conspiracy, but .......!" After a pause, he said: "At that time, after Hua Xiangrong entered the mansion, he had never been out of the Assassination Mansion, let alone had contact with Li Hongxin, how could Li Hongxin know that something would happen that night, so although the lower officials were suspicious, they were not convinced. ”

"Do you believe it now?"

"Hua Xiangrong is so good at martial arts, if she secretly leaves the house in the middle of the night, no one will find out." Wei Shutong's face turned pale, "Xia Guan now suspects that what happened that night was planned by Li Hongxin, and Hua Xiangrong ....... It should be the eyes and ears of Li Hongxin's faction beside the lower officials, bent on calculating the lower officials. ”

Qi Ning thought for a moment before saying, "Then do you suspect that you lost your mind that day, and it was also because of Hua Xiangrong?" ”

"Xiaguan...... The lower officials suspected that she had poisoned the wine and food. Wei Shutong's mood at this time had recovered a lot, and his hands were not as trembling as before, "There are all kinds of poisons in the rivers and lakes, and there may be poisons that make people lose their minds." ”

"You have a point." Qi Ning said: "But now that Hua Xiangrong has escaped, you don't know where she came from, so naturally you can't find her." ”

Wei Shutong's voice was fierce, "This demon woman has fled to the ends of the earth, and the lower officials will also catch her and break her body into thousands of pieces." ”
