Leng Yi sighed and mouthed Nunu at the corpse in the bed.

Li Yu turned around in confusion and saw the corpse, he screamed in fright, got up naked, stood on the side of the bed, and said tremblingly: "What's the matter?" Who, who killed my concubine? Who? ”

Both looked at him with pity on their faces, and neither spoke.

Li Yu took two steps forward, looked at the golden hairpin carefully, and exclaimed even more: "Official! It was the official family who sent someone to kill my concubine! Oh my! The official family still refuses to let me go! ”

Leng Yi said: "How do you know that the official family sent someone to kill your concubine?" ”

Li Yu pointed at the golden hairpin in the concubine's heart: "That!" That thing has a dragon and phoenix on it, that is a royal pattern, ordinary people, who dares to use this pattern? ”

As soon as the words fell, the corpse of the concubine lying in the middle of the big bed suddenly turned its head around, looked at him and smiled, scaring Li Yu into a daze. He took several steps backwards and almost sat on the ground.

The corpse let go of the golden hairpin in his hand, picked it up and looked at it, and said, "That's right, it's really a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern." "Listening to the voice, although it is a female voice, it is quite old, and it is definitely not Li Yu's delicate concubine Liuzhu. There was blood on her underwear, but there were no wounds. It turned out that the golden hairpin that Li Yu pierced was grabbed by her at the moment when she was about to pierce her body, and the blood on her body was actually chicken blood soaked in silk cotton, which was squeezed out after being stabbed in her hand.

Li Yu looked at this person who was about fifty or sixty years old, and the small clothes he was wearing were indeed the dirty clothes of Liuzhu, and if he looked at his appearance carefully, he was a little familiar, but he didn't know who it was. "Who are you?" How do you pretend to be my concubine? ”

"Poor Ni Feiyi. It's Lord Leng's guard. ”

Li Yu turned to look at Leng Yi in surprise: "Lord Leng, this, what is going on?" ”

Leng Yi sighed and said, "Because I suspect that the one who killed you last night was you, Grandpa!" So we set up a game. Validated my speculation. ”

"What did you say?" Li Yu was shocked, and waved his hands around, "No, no, it's not me!" It was the officials who sent someone to kill her! The handle of the dagger was wound with golden silk that only officials could use! ”

"You put on your robe first, although Mrs. Shi is a recluse, it is not appropriate to show her chest in front of her."

In fact, Li Yu is not only bare-chested now, he is completely naked. Hearing this, he was ashamed and embarrassed, and quickly took off his robe from the screen and put it on haphazardly. Mrs. Fei Yi also took her own robe from behind the bed and put it on. Then he took his leave and went out.

Li Yu put on his robe and said to Leng Yi: "Lord Leng, you said that I killed my Baoyi, it's a ......, how could I kill my woman?" ”

Leng Yi didn't answer directly, and said, "Is there a dagger from the royal family in the house?" Yes, when Emperor Taizu named me a disobedient marquis, he rewarded me with a dagger. I knew that it was Emperor Taizu's warning to me not to use swords in the future, so I didn't dare to use them, so I treasured them. ''Can you lend it to me?'' Just take a look at this ......, I won't take it. Hey. Li Yu couldn't refuse, so he walked to a beautiful cabinet in the bedroom with a gloomy face, opened it, pointed to a brocade box inside, and said, "That's it." Put it in a box. Because I can't use my sword anymore, I can't touch it. If you want to see it, you should open it and take a look. Leng Yi stepped forward, with a click, opened the brocade box, under the light, there was only a golden silk liner inside, and there was a scabbard, but there was no trace of the dagger rewarded by Song Taizu!

Leng Yi stepped aside, mouthed at the brocade box, and motioned for Li Yu to see for himself.

Li Yu stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly thundered, his eyes widened, and he came over and grabbed the brocade box, and poured out all the liners inside, except for the scabbard, he couldn't find the dagger!

Li Yu's face was as earthy as the color of the sword, holding the scabbard, looking at the prince, and stammering: "I'm sorry ......, I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to, and I don't know when this imperial short sword was stolen." Ever since I received this gifted dagger, I have kept it in this cabinet and have never opened it. I've also shown it to anyone, how good and decent is gone! It really has nothing to do with me, so please make sure your father-in-law explain it to the official......"

In the end, Li Yu trembled with fear. He himself knew very well that it was a great disrespectful crime to lose the treasure given by the Emperor. This short sword given by Emperor Taizu was lost by himself, and there is no way to shirk this sin.

Leng Yi took a small wooden box from the table, opened it, took out a dagger, walked over, took the scabbard from Li Yu's hand, aimed it at the scabbard, and inserted the dagger into it. This shows that this scabbard belongs to this dagger!

Li Yu was pleasantly surprised, but he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he pulled out the dagger and looked at it, and there was blood stains on it, and there was a faint smell of blood! Indicates that it has recently been dyed.

Li Yu was a little panicked and asked, "This is ......, what's going on?" ”

Leng Yi said: "This dagger is the murder weapon we extracted from the corpse of Baoyi you were killed yesterday!" ”

"Impossible!"

"I actually didn't know that you had such a dagger given by Emperor Taizu, but after I saw this dagger, I also felt that it was a royal thing, so I knew that there must be a secret in it. So I asked King Qi and found out about it. ”

Li Yu's eyes widened, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and took his dagger to wait and take a closer look, he didn't dare to confirm whether it was the dagger given by Emperor Taizu, because this dagger was Emperor Taizu's warning to him not to use the sword, he saw this dagger, there was an inexplicable panic in his heart, he just looked at it once on the day he accepted the dagger, and he didn't even pull it out, so he put it in the cabinet and shrank it up, until now, it has been two years, I have long forgotten what this dagger looks like. So I don't dare to confirm it. However, the dagger is inserted into the scabbard and fits tightly, indicating that it is this knife. How does this explain?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Yu's mind, and he thought of a possibility, but this possibility made him even more panicked, and he trembled and said: "My lord, this ......, this ......, must be a killer sent by the official family, found this dagger given by Emperor Taizu from my house, killed my Baoyi, and forced me to commit suicide......!" ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "I have carefully investigated the scene yesterday, and there is no trace of outsiders entering. The doors are all tied from the inside, and there is no sign of breaking from the outside! ”

"How not! The back window is hidden! ”

"That's right!" Leng Yi said: "However, there is no trace of pulling the bolt around the window, and the footprints on the snow on the ground outside the window are all left before yesterday." Because after someone poisoned the pastry in your house, I have carefully inspected the front and back of the house, especially the traces on the snow under the back window. When I surveyed yesterday, it was the same as last time. It means that during this time, no one has ever been outside your back window, so the window is actually you who pulled out the window from the inside and covered the window. ”

"No, I haven't done that, really! Please believe me, this is someone sent by the official family to warn me, including the crane top red, and the white silk, which are all official things! The official family wants me to die! ”

"White Aya?" Leng Yi smiled faintly, "At that time, you found a white silk hanging on the beam of the lobby, and asked me to investigate the case, I carefully investigated the scene, and the dust I found on the beam was messed up, and found that on the column next to the beam, there were deformed bare footprints and handprints formed after slipping!" -- It was the person who hung the white silk, and the dust on his feet and hands was left on the pillar when he slid down with it. ”

"That's right!" Li Yu said: "The people sent by the official family left it when they hung the white silk! ”

"If it is sent by the official family, it must be a master, as a master who can easily climb over the wall and enter the inside, do you still need to take off your boots and socks in the cold weather, and climb the column with bare feet to hang the white silk?"

"Then ......, that maybe, who said that a master can't take off his feet and climb the pillar?"

Leng Yi smiled and nodded, "That's right." ”

Li Yu was a little proud, and said: "Besides, you said that last time my Baoyi was killed, I opened the back window, but what about hanging the white silk this time?" The rear window was pierced by someone in the latch, reached in and pulled the latch to open the window to come in, if it were me, would I need this? Wouldn't it be over just opening the door and coming out? ”

Leng Yi said: "The back window of your bedroom is hidden, and there are barefoot prints in the snow outside the back window, leading all the way to the broken window in the back window of the lobby!" This line of footprints is still there. Moreover, the size of the footprints matches yours! You can see for yourself! ”

Li Yu's eyes widened, and he picked up the lantern on the table, regardless of whether taking the only lantern would make the room dark. Took it and walked out of the bedroom.

The bedroom was plunged into darkness.

In the dark, Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qi, let out a long sigh, and in that sound, it was really indescribably sad. Obviously, he was lamenting that this kind of thing happened to his friend.

After a moment, Li Yu ran back in a panic, although the red lantern was shining, but his face was pale with horror. He shuddered and put the lantern on the table, looked at Leng Yi, and said, "I, I haven't gone out through the window!" ......, what the hell is going on? ”

This sentence has obviously shown that the footprints outside the back window are really the same as what Leng Yi said.

Leng Yi said: "When I saw this footprint, I already guessed that you hung it yourself." Later, the pastry was poisoned, which illustrates this even more. Because although the back window is also hidden, I can see that there is no trace of outsiders intruding into the whole house. And in the snow outside the window, there are no other footprints except the set of footprints you left earlier. ――No matter how high the martial arts are, it is impossible to walk on the snow without a trace! So, there's only one possibility, and that's to make your own mess! I put the crane top red in the pastry! ”

"No, no!" Li Yu waved his hands around, "It's not me!" The white silk, as well as the crane top red, and the golden hairpin, are all things of the official royal family! Only the official family can have it! ”

"Don't forget, you were once the ruler of a country!"

"Impossible! After the surrender, I didn't bring anything that the royal family could use! Like this golden hairpin with an auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix, I definitely don't have it! ”

"This golden hairpin was given by the queen last time when Mrs. Zheng Guo entered the palace to accept the queen's reward, right?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "That white silk, crane top red, how can I have it?" ”

"You Nantang is located in the land of fish and rice, and it is very prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River. White silk, crane top red, these royal things, how can you not have them? Moreover, these are not taboo things, and you have brought them, and there is nothing. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself. ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Li Yu looked at Leng Yi in a daze, he picked up the lantern on the table again, turned around and walked quickly into the back room. Putting the lantern down, I opened a large box, and sure enough, there were rolls of silk inside, and the top one was white silk! And it has spread out, the front end has been cut, and the fracture is uneven. There's a pair of golden scissors right next to it!

Looking at the silk in the box, Li Yu was stupid.

Immediately, he snapped the box shut, rushed to a cabinet next to him, took the key and opened it, and there were large and small brocade boxes inside, with red notes pasted on them. Although the light was dim, he did not hesitate to pick up one of the brocade boxes and open them, and there were various porcelain vases in the box. He took out one of them, uncorked the bottle, and with a bang, poured all the dark red powder into the palm of his hand. It is the highly poisonous royal poison Heding Red!

But there are not many of these crane top red powders, and there are only a handful. However, he clearly remembered that it was a full bottle, which he had prepared for himself and his concubines before the city was broken. Later, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty persuaded him to surrender and said that as long as they surrendered, all members of the royal family would not only be exempted from death, but also given preferential treatment. Enjoy the same glory and wealth. So he surrendered. This crane top red is not used. But now, how come there is less than half a bottle?

He looked at the crane top red in the palm of his hand, and a terrifying sound came out of his throat. Suddenly, he shook off the crane top red powder in his palm, and kept clapping his palms, trying to pat off the powder in his palms. But he still felt that he hadn't cleaned it, so he wiped it on his robe a few more times, picked up the lantern on the table, turned around and ran out of the back room.

Outside, Leng Yi and a few others looked at him sympathetically.

Li Yu was so frightened that his face was distorted: "But ......, I ......, why am I ......, why am I in the ......, in the pastries I eat...... Poisoned? ”

Leng Yi sighed and said, "Because you have a disease!" ”

"A disease?" Li Yu's lips trembled, "What disease?" ”
