In the middle of the night that day, Li Tao slipped out of the inn, came to Zuichun Building, entered through the wall in the backyard, and went straight to Chengjiao's boudoir.

According to Li Tao's instructions, Jingzhao Yin's Mansion only sealed the Zuichun Mansion and did not do anything for the time being, so that everything here remained the same.

Li Tao saw the garland he made for Cheng Jiao that day, and tied it in front of the makeup mirror with gold thread, just imagine that every morning, Cheng Jiao dresses up in the mirror, and the first thing he sees is always it. It's a pity that after a long time, the fragrance is no longer there, and the small pale white flowers that once bloomed enthusiastically have now withered and withered, sprinkled all over the makeup table.

All the beauty and hope of the world will come to naught in the end!

Li Tao lost his mind for a long time, walked to the bed, found the iron box under the bed, directly twisted the lock nose, took out the secret record, and flipped through it casually, and turned to the page copied by Li Bai. He stroked the folds on the paper, and seemed to realize something, so he pulled it hard, and then compared the ink on the front and back pages, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed. The moonlight shone in through the skylight at the top of the bed, as bright as silver, and at this moment, he seemed to have fallen into the boundless darkness.

After doing this, Li Tao already had a rough idea in his heart.

……

Li Tao pushed open Cheng Jiao's door and saw her sitting at the table, her face was red and very delicate. On the table was a jug of wine, a sword. He sniffled and asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you drunk?" ”

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly, "Hmm." Without drinking, I don't have the courage to face you. ”

Li Tao closed the door, walked to her and sat down, and pushed the page of account paper in front of her, but she didn't look at it, just looked at Li Tao with a smile. Li Tao's heart is like a knife, and he doesn't know where to start. The two confronted each other so quietly.

Cheng Jiao smiled suddenly, and was the first to break the silence, "If you still care about me." Let me start by saying, don't interrupt. Li Tao nodded gloomily and listened to her say: "When I was very young, I once liked a person, and he was Li Chongfu, the king of the Emperor......"

Li Tao said "ah", the man who was twenty years older than her and had held her to pick osmanthus flowers. It turned out to be his own second uncle, Li Chongfu!

Cheng Jiao continued: "When I grow up, although I don't like him anymore, I can't help but work hard for him. Because my father was his close guard. His ambition is no secret, and he sent our father and daughter to the capital to open a drunken spring building to collect evidence of the corruption of officials and bending the law, so as to use this as a threat. Create your own power within the court. After Wei, he was in turmoil. The country is in turmoil, and he sees this good opportunity, so he makes his sworn friend Cui Wenli secretly contact and prepare to rebel. ”

Cheng Jiao continued: "After Han Qi, Xu Jizu and others took the medicine blade after you noticed it......"

"What? You already know who I am? Li Tao was taken aback.

"The famous Lantian King in Chang'an City is known to the women and children, how can I not know?"

Li Tao nodded and smiled bitterly: "That's what I said, but I didn't mean to hide it from you!" ”

"If I minded, I wouldn't have done so much for you!" Cheng Jiao continued: "King Chen's rebellion is in full swing of preparations, once the news leaks out. The emperor preemptively struck, and the consequences were unimaginable. So he told my father to get rid of all three. But you can't notice it. At this time, my father suddenly died of a heart attack, and this task naturally fell on me. Cui Fengyong used my father's death to make a fuss and came up with a plan, and I pretended to be Pei Feng to create a ghost talisman murder case. Our method of killing, you already know, I won't repeat it. As for Mrs. Yongyihou, it was Cui Wenli's drunken gaffe, and he showed a little bit of tone in front of her. When it came to his life, Cui Wenli didn't dare to be careless, so he had to let me kill him. However, I ran into trouble in the Hou Mansion, Xiao Cheng happened to patrol the Anqing princess's residence at night, and his martial arts were extremely high, and he captured me alive. In the name of consolation, Cui Wenli gave the guard a bottle of poisoned wine and quietly handed the key to me. It happened that Xiao Cheng came to interrogate again, so I repeated the old trick and waited for him to go crazy before escaping. ”

She leaned back in her chair, blinked tiredly, and said with a smile, "After these few months, I don't know how King Qian has prepared. I immediately started fighting, and it's hard to say who killed the deer, but my mission is complete. ”

The implication is that he wants to kill or chop, and listen to you.

"Finished?" Li Tao stared at her, with infinite sadness in his heart.

Cheng Jiao exhaled lightly: "It's over." If you have any questions, just ask, I promise to know everything, and I will say everything. ”

Li Tao sorted out his thoughts and asked, "After I asked you to jointly investigate this case, you and Cui Fengyong conspired to get rid of me?" ”

"You're defenseless against me, and it's not easy for me to kill you? Alas, just because of that pot of chrysanthemum tea, I have never had any murderous intentions towards you. She smiled bitterly and murmured, "Chrysanthemum tea, Ecstasy!" I'm a cold-blooded killer, but I'm just a coquettish to you. ”

Li Tao smacked his lips, and a bitter taste went straight to the bottom of his heart: "That day, I asked you to visit Xiao Cheng's cemetery, you went to see Cui Wenli, and learned that he was going to send someone to assassinate me, and you couldn't be ruthless, so Cui Wenli asked Scarface to hide in your attic and take charge of this operation instead of you, but I hit him squarely, and he couldn't sneak attack, so he had to escape through the skylight." ”

Cheng Jiao said: "It's not bad at all, so I reminded you at the time to remember the latch at night." ”

Li Tao had mixed feelings in his heart: "Until now, I am still very grateful to you. I didn't think anything about it at the time, but now that I think about it, in fact, you've been torn between helping me and stopping me, and it's really hard for you. ”

Cheng Jiao lowered her head and said lightly: "I helped you because I didn't want you to die, and I stopped you because I couldn't let you know the truth, and all this is because I like you." When he said that, his face turned redder and his voice was as low as a mosquito's chirp.

Li Tao said: "The killer that night, you hid outside and shot him?" ”

Cheng Jiao nodded and said: "Even if you catch a live mouth, you may not be able to ask anything, because they know that the end of betrayal is more uncomfortable than death, so in the mausoleum, Lao He heard my laughter and immediately chose to commit suicide." ”

Li Tao said: "According to what you say, even if you don't appear, Lao He won't dare to reveal valuable secrets." Of course, you didn't want to scare me, but you were afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the exit and be trapped inside, so you used this method to remind me. ”

Cheng Jiao hid her face with her hands, feeling sad and satisfied in her heart, at this time, what else could she hope for? As long as Li Tao understands her intentions, it is enough.

Li Tao said again: "Lao He's sleepwalking, and his pretending to be Yulou, must also be your arrangement, right?" ”

Cheng Jiao said: "Pei Feng's clothes were buried under the laurel tree by me, I can't be sure when you will suspect me, let him pretend to swim at night to loosen the soil, and you will find that there are traces of digging under the tree, and you will not be suspicious." As for me to scare him into transfiguring him into his father's appearance, it was purely to convince you that ghosts really exist, and only if you don't investigate this case anymore, can I have an excuse to stop Cui Wen from harming you.
