Chapter 21 Dugu Qingluo
The night was like ink, and the first two nights at this time the monastery was already dark and silent. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but tonight is destined to be eventful, and four candles are lit in the main hall, which are as bright as day. Mrs. Cui's body was parked in the hall, and Fa Cong and other monks stood around looking at each other, and everyone's faces turned pale.
Lu Peng stood silently in front of the pillar next to the temple gate, his mood fluctuating. After all, there was a murder in the Pufu Temple, and it was no longer just missing like the previous two times. Moreover, at this juncture, it is extremely stressful.
Perhaps this mission to apprehend the prisoner is going to fail...... After all, he is an ordinary person, and the rebellion in the river has taken away a large number of people, and without the heavy protection of yesterday, he suddenly has a very dangerous feeling, and he has already had the idea of going. Wang Meng's words have been lingering in his heart, and the death of Madame Cui made him feel that this temple is like a fierce river with countless dangers lurking, ready to swallow people until there are no bones left. Coupled with the military rebellion in Hezhong Province, it is even more dangerous.
If you're sensible, you should get out of here early tomorrow morning. He thought like this, although there were too many mysteries, he couldn't put his life on the line for the sake of the mystery.
It's just that...... What about Cui Yingying, what should she do? Thinking of the bright and enthusiastic girl, his mood immediately darkened. How sad should I be when I lose my parents one after another? Living alone in this dangerous temple, is it really good to leave like this? What's more, there is also a Qianqiu painting realm that also needs her......
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, Lu Peng drove distracting thoughts out of his mind, turned around, and just saw Jiang Mao walking out with a cloth wiping his hands.
"How?"
"Hmm...... The cause of death was a wound to the chest that was circular in shape, presumably pierced by a cylindrical sharp object. ”
"Dugu Shun has a sword hanging on his body...... However, this certainly does not prove his innocence. ”
"yes, that's a nuisance." Jiang Mao shook his hand with a headache and sighed.
The strong Dugu family and the Guan Longjun who are only a hundred miles away from here are really under great pressure.
Lu Peng groaned: "How does Brother Jiang feel? Is the murderer really Dugu Shun? ”
Jiang Mao looked at the young man beside him in surprise, and found that his face was a little strange, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "He is the most suspicious, right?" The meaning of the young envoy is ......"
"......" Lu Peng shook his head, remembering the scene when Dugu Shun came out of the door before. I don't know if I've watched too many movies, but I always feel that the more like this, the more inside the story...... Hey, wake up! This is a real event, not a detective story!
Looking at his stunned appearance, Jiang Mao couldn't help but smile slightly. This young envoy feels quite good to him, he has no arrogance at all, and he is extremely polite to people, which is completely different from other young people in the Zhang family. He also seems to be calm and calm, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fall into a state of contemplation.
"Young Envoy!" Mishan strode over, his round eyes were full of anger at this time, "The people of the Dugu family are too arrogant!" Not only did they not hand over Dugu Shun, but they also ...... And scolded! ”
Lu Peng raised his head, in fact, this was expected. It was a coincidence that this kind of thing happened when the human hand was being dimmed. Now in addition to the three of them, there are only five captors left, how to arrest people?
"Don't worry, just wait. Wait until my cousin brings someone to ......."
Speaking of this, he remembered the retreat he had played before, and Lu Peng couldn't help but sigh softly again.
The mood seemed to be contagious, and all three of them fell silent, and the night wind was so cold that people couldn't help but hug their arms.
"Let's go into the house and discuss." Jiang Mao turned around, and at this time, a voice came from the darkness.
"Wait!"
Several people walked over from one end of the corridor, led by a young girl, who was the young lady of the Dugu family.
At this time, she completely lost her previous arrogant and frivolous look, and looked calm and serious. He was followed by several big men with bright eyes, full of aura.
"Is Major Envoy Zhang right? I want to talk to you. ”
Before Lu Peng could speak, Mi Shan shouted with some annoyance: "What is there to talk about?" You are alone and don't hand over the murderer......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt out of shape, smiled wryly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Young envoy, Xiaomi has lost his temper......"
Lu Peng smiled, and had a new perspective on this guy who had been desperately trying to please him. Whether his anger is at the murder itself or whether he feels that the dignity of the Red Palace has been provoked, it shows that he is not a guy who can only pat on the back, at least he has his own principles. remembered that when he met Dugujia on the road, everyone else was afraid, and only he was slightly better.
He looked at the girl with a serious face in front of him, nodded and said, "Please speak." ”
The girl calmly said with her hands: "Please borrow two steps to speak." ”
Mishan hurriedly said: "This is not good! You are alone and have a large number of people, in case you ...... Hum! ”
The girl shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm the only one who asks Young Envoy Zhang to say a few words, he is a dignified national teacher and a high apprentice, are you still afraid of me, a little woman?" ”
Lu Peng nodded, and walked down the stone steps in front of the main hall, there was no moonlight tonight, and after leaving the entrance of the main hall dozens of steps, there was only some glimmer left. The flowers and trees in the distance are like crouching monsters, as if they may jump out at any time to hurt people.
The girl also left her subordinates in place as she said, and followed behind him alone, and at this time calmly coughed lightly first, and then said: "The little woman Dugu Qingluo, I have seen Brother Zhang Shi." My father was an official in the same dynasty as Lord Zhang, but he had some dealings. ”
What kind of friendship are you here for? Lu Peng was stunned when he heard this, now it's obvious that you have the absolute upper hand, okay? There's nothing we can do about it, okay?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Dugu Qingluo sighed and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang's impression of my fifth brother must be extremely bad, alas, but I can assure you that my fifth brother will never kill anyone!" Even if he did something wrong, he would admit it to me. Today's incident frightened him, you may not believe it, the fifth brother is a very kind person, he can't kill people. ”
Lu Peng was stunned for a while when he heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Miss Dugu, you seem to be very serious, but ......"
Dugu Qingluo hurriedly said: "I didn't lie to you!" My father has always been honest and humble, the government and the opposition have a good reputation, my family discipline is very strict, how can there be such a gentleman? Alas! In fact, we deliberately pretend to be like this for some other reason! ”
Lu Peng was even more surprised, pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, you don't have to tell me, I'm scared." ”
Dugu Qing Luo Qi said: "What are you afraid of?" ”
Lu Peng shook his head and said: "If you brothers and sisters are really pretending, there must be something big, I'm afraid I know too much, and I won't be able to sleep well when the time comes!" ”
