Chapter 40: The Legend of the Flying Pigeon

When Lime pushed open the door, Shen Jiangli was lazily leaning on the soft collapse of the golden wire, admiring the dancing girl Miaoman's dancing posture and tasting the wine brought to his lips by the maid's slender jade hands.

Seeing the lime, he pushed away the jade hands with a smile, and there was a little interest in his eyes, "Beauty, the century-old cellar of Tianlu Villa, do you want to have a drink?" ”

"I'm going to the capital." Ignoring Shen Jiangli's rudeness, Lime got straight to the point.

Shen Jiangli was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, withdrew the dancing musician, drank the wine by himself, and said lazily, "He left you with me just to protect you, if I let you go, wouldn't I be disappointed by his entrustment?" ”

"If he dies, will you continue to fulfill his instructions?" Lime frowned slightly, and her words were aggressive.

"What do you mean?" Shen Jiangli put down the wine glass when he heard this, and his eyes that looked at her also floated with doubts.

Lime handed the waist card in his hand to Shen Jiangli and said firmly, "This was found in the ruins of the Xiao family's guest house, and the whole body is made of a whole piece of dark iron, not a forgery. ”

"Kui?" Shen Jiangli's face did not change, but his eyes were instantly clear, "One of the twenty-eight constellations, is it a person who cultivates Yi?" ”

"If the person behind the scenes is really Xiuyi, then the two attacks between me and Childe show that he has intervened." Lime said, "Then the situation in Childe's place is not optimistic." ”

"I remember that the twenty-eight constellations under Xiu Yi's command never carried anything related to their identity when they went on missions." Shen Jiang said, "How can you be sure that the person behind this scene is Xiu Yi, and not someone else intends to blame him?" ”

"I'm not sure, but I can't afford to risk it either, I can't gamble with Childe's life." Lime said eagerly, "Xiu Yi and Hongxia Yike are brothers in the same sect, and Fang Jinyue has an old feud with the regent. Childe, he entered Beijing single-handedly, how could he beat these three people? ”

"Don't underestimate your son-in-law, he can still solve this matter. But you, don't mess up because of a waist card, if this waist card is to lure you into Beijing, aren't you in the scheme? Shen Jiangli smiled, "It's a big deal, I sent someone to the capital to remind him, but you can't leave Yuqiong Pavilion." ”

Lime was silent for a moment, her frowning brows gradually unfolded, and she said, "Shen Gongzi, I can not leave the Jade Qiong Pavilion, but I dare to ask Shen Gongzi to rush to the capital in person to help my son." ”

"You care about him." Shen Jiangli did not immediately agree to Lime's request, but said with amusement.

"In his position, just seek his position." Lime Road.

"Oh......" Shen Jiangli pulled a long tail note and asked thoughtfully, "I'm really curious what position he gave you?" ”

"Maid." Lime replied without thinking.

"A pair of master and servant who are overly concerned about each other's safety, which of you has done it and sought his position in his position?" Shen Jiangli said with a smile.

Lime ignored Shen Jiangli's ridicule and asked directly, "Shen Gongzi, are you going or not?" ”

"My Shen family has never participated in state affairs, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is better for me to stay away, so as not to burn myself." Shen Jiangli pursed his lips and said.

"Shen Gongzi ......" Shen Jiangli's attitude made Lime anxious for a while, and Lime wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Jiangli's lazy voice.

"I, Shen Jiangli, am just a businessman, I don't know any political conspiracy, even if I go to the capital, I can't help much." Shen Jiangli's face was slightly red, and his eyes were a little drunk, and he said with a lack of interest, "Okay beauty, if you don't stay to drink with me, help me call them back." ”

After Lime left, Shen Jiangli picked up the waist card again and looked at it carefully for a long time, his eyebrows gradually gathered, and his face became complicated, "Yansi, go and find out how this waist card appeared in the Xiao Family Guest House, in addition, I have been watching her tightly these days, don't ask her to go out and stab Lou Zi." ”

Behind the screen, a woman dressed in a lilac fairy dress slowly walked out, and the woman's face was a little sickly pale.

A pair of eyes are as clear as cutting water, three thousand green silk are pulled up at will, a little more sickly and weak, slender jade hands are stacked in front of him, slightly blessed, and his gestures are all showing elegance and gentleness.

Zhu lips opened lightly, and her voice was like her person, three points of illness and weakness, which was pitiful, "Yes, my subordinates will do it, the master of the door, you should drink less." ”

"Hmm." Shen Jiangli nodded, and handed the wine glass in his hand to Yansi, "Go and tell the dancing girls to disperse." ”

"The master of the door wants to sleep for a while, and Yansi will play the qin for you?" The eyes flowed, the corners of Yansi's lips smiled, and his voice was as warm as a spring breeze.

"Hmm." The faint fragrance lingering on her body lingered in her nose, and Shen Jiang couldn't help but feel sleepy.

The sound of the piano sounded, like a melodious turn, Shen Jiang fell asleep with the sound of the piano in a short time, no one knew how in the dream, but his frowning brows caused Yansi to feel distressed, her cool jade hand stroked the pimple between his eyebrows, over and over again, until the pimple was flattened, her eyes showed a little satisfaction.

It's her, and it's his dream again.

Yansi got up, lit a furnace of soothing incense, and left quietly.

She knew the purpose of her existence from the beginning.

Sick and gentle, her fingers are as white as onions, and she is very much like her when he first met.

When Shen Jiangli came to look for lime again, it was half a month later.

As soon as she returned to the room, before she could open the window, Shen Jiangli pushed open her door, his eyes were full of anger, and as soon as he entered the door, he threw the carrier pigeon he was holding in front of Lime.

Lime was slightly stunned, not knowing what was happening, she looked at the carrier pigeon that had just died, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

"You don't know?" Shen Jiangli sneered, unfolded the note in his hand, and said angrily, "Then do you recognize this note?" ”

"I was trapped in Yuqiong Pavilion, so I quickly sent someone to rescue me, temporarily give up killing Qiu Chulin, and make plans when I get to Beijing."

Lime stared at the note for a long time, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't say a word, it was indeed her handwriting, and even she couldn't find any flaws.

Yansi came in a hurry, her face was slightly red, and when she saw the carrier pigeon on the ground, she knew that the master of the door was angry this time, "Young master, there is no result for the time being, you should calm down first." ”

"Yan Temple." Although Shen Jiangli was angry, this "Yansi" shouted very gently.

Yansi understood what Shen Jiangli meant, she hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, said "forgiveness" to the lime, and rummaged through the house.

After half an hour, Yansi used a handkerchief to hold a pile of ashes and sent them to Shen Jiangli's hands, and the ashes were mixed with a few pieces of unburned confetti, and the words "hatred" and "miss" could be vaguely recognized.

All the evidence was against her.

The carrier pigeon was caught by Shen Jiangli, the handwriting on the letter was hers, and the unburned confetti was also found in her room.

She couldn't argue.

"Who are you sending a message to? Hongxia Yike or Xiuyi? If Shen Jiangli is still calm, then the appearance of this pile of ashes has completely broken his calmness, and he is full of anger every word.

"I didn't." Lime defended weakly, "I didn't release the carrier pigeon, and I didn't pass the letter, and as for these ashes, I have never seen them at all!" ”

"You still have to quibble! Do you think that if you can hide it from him, you can also hide it from me? Shen Jiangli took the paper in Yansi's hand and threw it on the table in front of Lime, "You are the traveling doctor who went around for free consultation, the goddess doctor who lived in the Jinnan Prince's Mansion and was summoned by Emperor Jinnan!" ”

Lime didn't look at the evidence because she knew what it was, and she knew that it was enough to prove that she was the traveling doctor.

"The prescription you prescribed to the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion a few days ago and the prescription you wrote last year when you were at the free clinic in Jinnan are all here. The exact same handwriting, do you still have to quibble? Shen Jiangli asked.

When the Xiao family sent the waist card to her, she knew that the matter of Jinnan's free clinic would be turned over by Shen Jiangli sooner or later, but she was in Yuqiong Pavilion, surrounded by secret guards and eyeliner, she couldn't get in touch with the outside world, and she didn't have the slightest countermeasure.

Now that the evidence is in front of her, Lime can't deny it outright, "I'm indeed the traveling doctor, but what does this prove?" ”

"Prove that you have a lot to do with Xiuyi! When you approached Qiu Chulin, you were ordered by Xiu Yi to get rid of him, didn't you! Shen Jiangli had a chill in his eyes, and Lime knew that if he answered yes, he would kill her without hesitation.

"No, I never wanted to hurt him." Lime explained, "If I wanted to kill him, I would have had countless chances, and I wouldn't wait until today. Besides, if you can find my handwriting, others can too, as long as there is a master of handwriting imitation, you can imitate my handwriting to frame me! ”

"This is Yuqiong Pavilion!" Shen Jiangli angrily interrupted Lime's defense, "No one can do anything under my nose!" Are you suspecting me that Shen Jiangli is framing you? ”

This is the Jade Qiong Pavilion that no organization can penetrate, and here, all assumptions are not true, and there are only the truth.

"Why do you think that no one in the Jade Qiong Pavilion will frame me?" She was calm and unhurried, looking directly at Shen Jiangli's eyes without dodging, "How did I receive the letter?" How do I get my pigeons? You don't even look at so many suspicious points, you are only confident in your Yuqiong Pavilion! ”

"You still want proof, do you?" Shen Jiangli suddenly became even more angry, his face was flushed, his muscles were bursting up, and his eyes were completely occupied by anger, "Okay, then you just wait for my evidence!" ”

Shen Jiangli didn't let her wait long, and brought witnesses to confront her that night.

The witnesses are Wang Dalei, who delivers food to Yuqiong Pavilion every day, and Zhao Sanniang, the cook of Yuqiong Pavilion.

"Everything to send is ordered by Yuqiongge to the store the day before, and after the guy has installed it, I just send it over." Wang Dalei said, "I have never sent pigeons before, so I took a second look and thought that Yuqiongge had booked pigeons." ”

"I sent the order the day before yesterday, and I didn't have a pigeon?" Zhao Sanniang was surprised, "I did have some delays yesterday, and when I got to the backyard, Da Lei had already put down the dishes and left." I counted the dishes, and there was nothing missing, so I didn't care. ”

"In other words, the pigeon mixed in a cage of chickens sent by Wang Dalei was not in the predetermined list, and it disappeared when Zhao Sanniang counted it." Lime said, "Zhao Sanniang, why did you delay the counting yesterday morning?" ”

"I don't know why, I suddenly had a stomach upset the night before yesterday, and I got up late yesterday morning." Zhao Sanniang said.

"How long have you been delayed?" Lime asked again.

"Not long after, when I arrived in the backyard, I happened to see Da Lei pulling a car across the street." Zhao Sanniang said.

"The back door is not far from the street, and in such a short period of time, the person who took the carrier pigeon should not have gone far." Lime said, "Zhao Sanniang, did you meet anyone on the way to the backyard?" ”

"I haven't met anyone else but you." Zhao Sanniang said.

"You mean, met me?" Zhao Sanniang's answer surprised Lime very much, her originally slightly frowning eyebrows turned into a slight pick, her eyes glanced at Shen Jiangli on the side, and her eyebrows frowned when she saw his face full of doubts.

"Can you see clearly?" Shen Jiangli asked.

"Go back to the young master, see clearly." Zhao Sanniang said, "This girl was wearing a cloak at the time, and she was in a hurry, and I thought about what this girl was doing in the backyard early in the morning." ”

"Okay, you all go down, this matter must not be publicized to the public." Shen Jiangli was silent for a moment, his words were slightly indifferent, and when Zhao Sanniang and Wang Dalei left, Shen Jiangli was silent for a long time, "Yansi, you come with me." ”

Now that the matter is clear, Lime does not need to pursue it further.
