Chapter 422: Cutting off limbs
It was originally a happy event, but it turned into a funeral halfway, which is really unfortunate to think about.
There was no reason for the guests to stay any longer, so they all found excuses one after another to leave the Yin family.
Jiang Qinglan is dead, and the murderer has now found out some signs, and the eldest lady has a lot to do.
Send someone to take off the red lanterns, red happy characters, and red silk that are full of festive people in this courtyard.
In addition, he had to send someone to Jiang's house to report the news.
After all, Jiang Qinglan is the niece of the eldest lady.
The Yin family and the Jiang family have a close relationship.
A good girl, she didn't have anything to do before she got married, but she just married into the Yin family, and she was poisoned to death after the ceremony.
Therefore, it is reasonable to be reasonable, and the Yin family did not hide the truth of the Jiang family.
Inform the Jiang family, so as to arrange Jiang Qinglan's funeral.
In the flower hall that was still lively just now, now only Yin Zike, Qi Hao, Chen Zexuan and the Eighth Prince are left.
Seeing Gu Jinli come back, their eyes couldn't help but look over.
Gu Jinli pursed her lips, handed the handkerchief wrapped in the poisonous needle to Yin Zike, and said in a deep voice: "This is the poisonous needle found in the cushion where Miss Jiang is sitting, if I guess correctly, Miss Jiang was pricked by the poisonous needle, and then she was poisoned and died." ”
Meaning something, she whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Look at the meaning of the eldest lady, this mat is from your house." ”
"So...... The murderer may have been someone from the yard. ”
Yin Zike took the handkerchief, pinched the poisonous needle that could only be seen clearly with the naked eye, and said after a while: "Hard work Lin Gongzi, such a thing happened today, Zike still has a lot of things to deal with, it's really not good to stay with you more, if you have the opportunity another day, Zike will have a good banquet for Lin Gongzi to express his gratitude." ”
"Hehe, Yin Gongzi is polite, I'm just raising my hands." Gu Jinli smiled awkwardly, and then arched her hand and said, "It's not too early, I'll go back first." ”
Seeing Yin Zike's depressed expression, Gu Jinli couldn't bear to comfort him: "Young Master Yin, the festival is smooth." ”
Yin Zike pulled his lips, "Lin Gongzi walks slowly, Zike won't send it." ”
Gu Jinli said "um", and then left the room with Ah Qiao.
Qi Hao nodded to Yin Zike, and also followed behind Gu Jinli.
"Young Master Yin, take care." Chen Zexuan sighed, and also glanced at the Eighth Prince, and the two of them left on their front and back feet.
"Ah Gu, be careful!"
Qi Hao was originally following behind Gu Jinli, but just when Gu Jinli was thinking about the cause of Jiang Qinglan's death and walked forward absentmindedly, she saw a figure come out of the bamboo forest on the side.
The man was born with a short stature, holding a dagger in his hand, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he raised his hand to stab the dagger into Gu Jinli's chest.
By the time Gu Jinli reacted, her person had already been fished out behind Qi Hao.
"Wow"! The fierce knife was directly blocked by Qi Hao raising his arm.
When the man saw that he didn't hit the target, he wanted to cross Qi Hao and attack Gu Jinli, but he was kicked away by Qi Hao with a "bang".
Blood poured out, and it fell to the ground "tick-tock".
"Qi Hao!" Gu Jinli's eyes trembled, and she was dazzled by the bright red blood.
"Tell me, who ordered you?" Du Jiang pressed the man to the ground in two or two times, and said sharply.
"Fourth brother!" Seeing this, the Eighth Prince, who came from behind, let out a low snort.
"Lord Ning has been assassinated!" The housekeeper on the side shouted in fright, and then ran into the house.
"Fourth brother, your injuries are a bit serious, it's best to bandage them first." Seeing that Qi Hao's wound was deep and bone-seeing, the Eighth Prince glanced at the assassin who was still struggling, and said coldly: "This assassin, leave it to me and Brother Shizi to deal with." ”
"Lord Ning." Yin Zike, who got the news, was immediately pushed in a wheelchair by his entourage, and said worriedly: "Is the injury serious?" ”
Qi Hao pressed the wound with his hand, shook his head and said, "Yin Gongzi don't have to worry, it's a small injury." ”
After hearing this, Yin Zike moved his gaze to the assassin, looked at it, turned his head and asked the housekeeper: "This person doesn't seem to be from our house." ”
How many people are in the house, and which courtyard they belong to, the housekeeper knows all about them.
After only one glance, the housekeeper affirmed: "Back to the eldest prince, this person is indeed not from our house." ”
"There are a lot of people who have come to the mansion today, so maybe this person mixed in with some minister."
Yin Zike's face was solemn, and he said to Qi Hao: "Prince Ning was injured in my mansion, and I will give an explanation to Lord Ning about this matter." ”
After that, I just wanted the housekeeper to find a doctor, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
With Gu Jinli here, where do you need to find a doctor next to you?
"Lin Gongzi." Looking at Gu Jinli, Yin Zike said softly: "You have to wrap the wound for Prince Ning, and if you need anything, tell the housekeeper directly." ”
Gu Jinli said "um", hesitated for a while, but still took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qi Hao: "Let's go." ”
Qi Hao's eyes moved slightly, and the lips that were pursed just now curved: "Okay." ”
Chen Zexuan watched Qi Hao follow Gu Jinli back to the flower hall, holding the hand of the fan handle a little harder, and smiled coldly: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in this world, it is better to stay and accompany Yin Gongzi to interrogate this bold assassin!" ”
"Dare to assassinate Lord Ning, it's really courageous!"
Du Jiang pinched the back of the assassin's neck fiercely, and said coldly: "Shizi, his target is not the prince of our family, but Lin Gongzi. ”
"Oh?" When Chen Zexuan heard this, a killing intent flashed in his long and narrow eyes.
He made a "whoosh", unfolded the fan, and said quietly: "Since this is the case, then you can't let him go!" ”
When Yin Zike and the Eighth Prince heard this, their faces also became gloomy.
No one is not afraid of death, even if he is a ruffian who has been in the gambling hall for a long time, he also knows that life is the most important thing.
Although the Assassin had accepted Madame Liu's money, now that the matter had been revealed, he had no choice but to talk to him.
Probably stared at by several people with the same eyes as a dead person, the assassin kowtowed "bang bang" while begging for mercy, and he simply lost the ruthlessness just now: "Xuan Shizi, Eighth Prince, Yin Gongzi, spare your life!" ”
"The villain has no grievances with that son, and he is indeed instructed by others!"
"Last night, someone found the villain outside the casino and asked the villain to sneak into Yin's mansion while there were many people today."
"After saying that it is done, not only will I give the villain a hundred taels, but I will also pay off the gambling debts that the villain owes recently."
"The villain doesn't know that the son is Ning Wangye's person, if he knows, he will lend the villain ten guts, and the villain will not dare to attack Ning Wangye's people!"
"Woo...... The villain knows that he is wrong, please be merciful! ”
As if his mouth had been burned by boiling hot water, the assassin confessed before he could be tortured.
However, this does not seem to explain the employer clearly.
Trembling, the assassin was like a fish on the chopping board, ready to face a stab at any moment, and tears of fright.
"Who is the man who hired you to kill?" Kicking the assassin mercilessly, Du Jiang impatiently interrupted his plea for mercy: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you now!" ”
"Yes...... It was a masked woman, and the little one didn't know who she was. The assassin was in pain, "ouch", and shrunk his neck: "A few masters, what the little one said is true, and he doesn't dare to deceive half a sentence." ”
This answer is the same as not saying.
"Brother Shizi, what should I do now?" The Eighth Prince frowned tightly and looked at Chen Zexuan with displeasure.
Chen Zexuan pondered for a moment and sneered: "This is not difficult, as long as he can describe it correctly, I can draw that woman." ”
"As long as you have that portrait, you have a direction to trace."
"That's a good idea!" The Eighth Prince's eyes lit up, and his face was happy: "No one in the country can compare to the painting of the brother of the prince, when the brother of the prince paints it, we will take the portrait and find someone!" ”
Yin Zike nodded and said to Du Jiang: "Guard Du, take this assassin to the flower hall and let the prince paint a portrait." ”
"Let's go!" Du Jiang grabbed the assassin, and the group walked towards the flower hall again.
In the flower hall, Gu Jinli was sprinkling medicinal powder on Qi Hao's wound.
The two of them were a little close, neither of them spoke, but each other's breath was close at hand, and the atmosphere in the room was quiet and awkward.
Gu Jinli lowered her head, lowered her eyes, and forced herself to ignore Qi Hao's eyes, as well as her warm breath.
Although the wound was very painful, Qi Hao felt that it was as good as food.
He was very glad that he could rush up to protect Gu Jinli as soon as he was in danger, instead of other men standing in front of her.
After all, now she is full of revenge, and she is silently "coveted" by so many men.
In terms of dedication and good feelings, he has very few opportunities for this kind of thing.
Not to mention taking one knife for her, even ten knives, he is also willing.
It's just that the premise is not to think about whether she will appreciate the matter.
Otherwise, a heart will be as uncomfortable as being stabbed.
Her movements are not gentle, but they are not rough either, even if they are lukewarm, not speaking, Qi Hao can sit quietly with her for a while, and she is already satisfied.
When the Eighth Prince and the others arrived at the door, from the perspective of several of them, it seemed that the top of Gu Jinli's head was Qi Hao's lips.
In their eyes, Qi Hao was going to drop a kiss on Gu Jinli's forehead.
Of course, as several men have seen, Qi Hao really can't help but want to do this.
His lips moved closer and closer, and he was so immersed in his own entanglement that he didn't even see the person at the door.
Gu Jinli felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, in fact, she wanted to give Qi Hao medicine and bandage it quickly, but she didn't want Qi Hao to feel that she was affected by what happened just now, so she hurriedly bandaged his wound.
Therefore, with patience, she can only slow down and let herself look calm and indifferent.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the figure at the door, and the moment Gu Jinli raised her head, she just hit Qi Hao's lips.
Originally, it was just a touch, and it wasn't a big deal.
But somehow, her face was unusually hot.
Maybe, it was seen by so many pairs of cloudy and uncertain eyes, Gu Jinli felt very embarrassed.
The medicine bottle in his hand shook, and he couldn't help but sprinkle more medicine powder.
Qi Hao gasped and looked at the door.
Forced to calm down, Gu Jinli put the medicine bottle away without a trace, and asked while wrapping Qi Hao with gauze: "How is it, can you find out?" ”
Chen Zexuan pretended not to see the scene just now, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, "Not for the time being, but it will be soon." ”
After everyone entered the room, Du Jiang and the Eighth Emperor stood beside the assassin one by one, and when Chen Zexuan sat down at the table, the assassin said cautiously: "That girl is wearing a jujube dress, she is not tall, her figure is not fat, and her face is ......."
"Wait." Chen Zexuan glanced at the assassin coldly, obviously dissatisfied with his description: "If you are not fat, you have to find a reference to compare." ”
Pointing at Gu Jinli, he asked again, "How is it compared to Lin Gongzi?" ”
"Uh......" Seeing that Chen Zexuan was angry, the assassin swallowed his saliva and said, "Slightly shorter than Lin Gongzi." ”
Seeing Chen Zexuan start to write, he looked at Gu Jinli and recalled in his mind: "The figure is a little fatter than Lin Gongzi, yes, that's right." ”
"Hair ......" Gu Jinli is now a man's hairstyle, and the assassin naturally can't use her as a reference anymore, so he turned around and pointed to the maid on the side, "Her hair is shorter than hers, scattered, and there is a small braid on the left side." ”
Chen Zexuan glanced at the little maid a few times, thought about it, and sketched a few strokes on the rice paper.
Since the Assassin had said that the woman was masked, Chen Zexuan drew a veil to cover half of the woman's face.
The rest of the eyes, but no more brushwork.
The assassin hurriedly said: "The eyes are not as bright and beautiful as Lin Gongzi's eyes, they are smaller than Lin Gongzi's eyes, which is considered ...... It's an almond eye! ”
The assassin said ambiguously, but in Chen Zexuan's pen, the portrait that made people feel a little hanging just by listening to it, once it was presented, the assassin was excited: "Yes, yes, yes, it's her, it's her!" ”
The assassin's performance was simply more excited than everyone present, not that he was surprised by Chen Zexuan's superb painting, but that he felt that as long as he found the culprit who bought the murderer, then his guilt would be reduced accordingly.
At least, sin does not lead to death.
"Are you sure?" Chen Zexuan put down his pen and raised his eyebrows, his tone was very suspicious.
Throwing the paper in front of the assassin, he stood up and said condescendingly: "This prince advises you to understand it, otherwise it will ......"
I want to stop talking, full of murderous spirit.
The assassin's scalp was numb, and he grasped the portrait, his eyes widened, and he looked at it carefully, for fear that something would go wrong and endanger his own life.
After the inspection, he said nervously: "Xuan Shizi, no problem, the villain can be sure, it is her." ”
"I'll see." Gu Jinli got up and pulled the portrait out of the assassin's hand.
After looking at it for a while, she said thoughtfully, "These eyes...... I look familiar. ”
When Qi Hao heard this, he said urgently: "Who is it?" ”
"Uh......" Qi Hao's reaction was too fast, so much so that Gu Jinli subconsciously glanced at Chen Zexuan, seeing that Chen Zexuan's eyes were slightly cold, she pretended not to hear Qi Hao's words, and while rolling up the portrait, she said lightly: "I will investigate the assassin's matter myself, so I won't bother you." ”
This was said to Qi Hao, and it was also said to Yin Zike and others.
First, she was the one the assassin wanted to kill, and this matter had nothing to do with others, so it was better not to trouble others.
Second, Jiang Qinglan died on the wedding day, Yin Zike was still busy with the aftermath, and the Eighth Prince and Chen Zexuan also had important things to do, so there was no need to waste energy on themselves.
Third, this is not a big deal, Gu Jinli believes that she can handle it.
Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Jinli stared at the assassin with her eyes tightly again, and asked, "By the way, Miss Jiang was poisoned and died today, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”
"No, no!" The assassin's head shook like a rattle, and he denied it again and again: "I only accepted that girl's silver last night, Miss Jiang's death really has nothing to do with me!" ”
"It was better to do so." Gu Jinli's face was calm, as if she didn't take the assassination just now to heart, she arched her hand to Yin Zike, Chen Zexuan, and the Eighth Emperor, and said in a deep voice: "It's not too early, I'll leave first." ”
Yin Zike looked at Gu Jinli deeply, and said slowly: "Lin Gongzi, if you have a place to use Zike in the future, please feel free to speak." ”
"Go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not hesitate."
These words, listening to the ears of others, are not a taste, and they have caused several men to reverie infinitely.
It seems that Yin Zike has seen through Gu Jinli's identity nine times out of ten.
However, looking at the suppressed emotions and his attitude towards Gu Jinli when he was saluting Jiang Qinglan just now, presumably he would not reveal Gu Jinli's true identity.
Probably, it was Yin Zike's character that made them think like this.
It may also be that they have a similar mentality, they can't wait to throw their heads for Gu Jinli, spill their blood, and unconditionally dedicate everything, how can they put her to death?
The three of them looked at each other at the same time, and saw the same look in each other's eyes.
Gu Jinli didn't expect Yin Zike to say such a thing to herself, she moved her lips, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but she couldn't bear to brush off Yin Zike's kindness, so she could only nod.
"Lord Ning, Xuan Shizi, Eighth Prince, the villain has already said everything that should be said, can you raise your noble hand and let the villain go?" Seeing that the party was leaving, the assassin hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, looking forward to it.
Gu Jinli rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders, "Anyway, he's of no use to me, you can do it." ”
That being said, Gu Jinli knew that with Qi Hao's temperament and Chen Zexuan's attention to her, this assassin would definitely die.
With that, she left without looking back.
However, when the assassin saw Gu Jinli say this, he felt that he had a little more hope of surviving, and immediately looked at Qi Hao and Chen Zexuan eagerly: "Lord Ning, Prince Xuan, Prince Xuan, ......"
"Lord Ning, what do you think?" Gu Jinli is now a person who lives in King Ning's Mansion, in front of the Eighth Prince and Yin Zike, Chen Zexuan disposed of this assassin on his own initiative, so he threw the problem to Qi Hao.
Qi Hao snorted coldly, and said sharply: "Du Jiang, cut off his limbs, and then throw them into the grave!" ”
"Ning...... Lord Ning! The Assassin was dumbfounded.
"Poof", he kowtowed again and again: "Prince Ning spares his life, Prince Ning spares his life!" ”
"It's too cheap to just cut off limbs." Chen Zexuan shook his head, smiling coldly and frighteningly, "Smearing honey on the wound and attracting some mosquitoes and ants to climb up should be more interesting than waiting for death slowly." ”
After a pause, he changed his tone: "However, you can't dirty Yin Gongzi's territory, it's more convenient to directly let Du Jiang take people to the mass grave." ”
"Du Jiang, just do what Xuan Shizi said." Qi Hao waved his hand, flicked his sleeves and left.
"Smack", Du Jiang quickly clicked on the assassin's acupoint before he opened his mouth to wail, and dragged the person outside.
"The eldest son, the lord and wife of the in-laws are here!" The subordinates in the courtyard trotted in, panting heavily: "The master of the in-laws was invited by the eldest lady, and he was very angry!" ”
"Big ...... The eldest lady asked you to hurry over and have a look! ”
Chen Zexuan and the Eighth Prince said at the same time: "Young Master Yin, I will leave first, and I will visit another day." ”
Yin Zike wanted to investigate the murderer, and he also had to deal with Jiang Qinglan's parents, so he sighed, "Zike won't leave two more." ”
After Chen Zexuan and the Eighth Prince left, he also instructed his entourage to push the wheelchair into the courtyard of the eldest lady.
On the carriage back to the Ning Palace, Gu Jinli was still studying the portrait.
Ah Qiao tilted his head and asked, "Master, who do you think will kill you?" ”
Gu Jinli pointed to the eyes on the portrait and said tentatively: "Look, does it look like Xueqin?" ”
"Xueqin?" After hearing this, Ah Qiao took the portrait and nodded: "Master, the more you look at it, the more you feel like Xueqin." ”
"If this is really Xueqin, it is conceivable that Mrs. Liu has reached the point where there is nothing to be done." Gu Jinli stepped aside, crossed Erlang's legs, and sneered: "She failed to kill me this time, and I won't be able to give her a chance next time." ”
"Ah Qiao, since Mrs. Liu wants to die, then I will fulfill her wish!"
Ah Qiao understood what Gu Jinli meant, this was about to attack Mrs. Liu, so he asked, "Master, what do you need slaves to do?" ”
"There's no rush for this, I'll talk about it when I get back." Gu Jinli yawned, closed her eyes, and muttered, "I'll squint for a while, and then call me." ”
"Yes, master." Ah Qiao answered, and stopped talking.
When Qi Hao walked out of the gate of the Yin family, he found that Gu Jinli actually took Ah Qiao to take a step forward and left in a carriage.
He's angry and funny.
Anyway, he was stabbed for her this time, how could she leave him first?
There was no way, Qi Hao had no choice but to let someone lead a horse and go back to King Ning's mansion by himself.
Qi Hao didn't know that it was precisely because he was stabbed for Gu Jinli and had an inexplicable kiss that Gu Jinli didn't want to face him.
Because, in recent days, Qi Hao has been injured many times for her.
It is said that cannibalism is the shortest, and taking people is short.
Although she has said many times to Qi Hao, there is only hatred between the two of them, and there is nothing else to do with it, but when she sees Qi Hao injured, it is impossible and unrealistic to say that she has no feeling in her heart.
I don't know how to face it, so I just don't face it.
Besides, as long as there is Qi Hao, no matter when and where, the atmosphere will be embarrassing.
Now there are only two of them in the carriage, and how good it is to be free.
comforting herself like this, the irritability in Gu Jinli's heart faded a lot.
At the same time, Mrs. Liu was fidgeting in Qiu Ju Courtyard.
She walked around the room in circles, and as time passed, her heart went up and down.
"Master!"
Xueqin's voice sounded at the door, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Xueqin in, and quickly closed the door: "You're finally back!" How's it going? But it's done? ”
She spoke quickly, with a hint of nervousness.
Xueqin took out her arm from Mrs. Liu's hand little by little, and said timidly in a low voice: "Master, that person is ...... He missed. ”
