Chapter 22: A Bizarre Murder
Updated: 2014-04-17
"Your Highness......." Qin Yunxiang was already dumbfounded, and could only watch Qin Linfeng being taken away, but he hadn't reacted in his mind, what did Sima Rui's words mean?
Sima Rui turned around: "What are you still doing here, I don't want to hear your voice." And at the moment when Sima Rui turned around, Qin Yunxiang was already crazy and chased Liu Bao out of the secret passage, and after that, it was the scene that Qin Yunuan saw in this lotus pond.
The rockery where Qin Yunuan is hiding is extremely hidden, and there is cold frost around him who has been paying attention to the surrounding scene to ensure that no one finds out, so Qin Yunuan watched this scene very comfortably.
"Your Highness, please, let go of the brother of cloud makeup." Qin Yunxiang knelt hard in front of Sima Rui and begged him, there was no shortage of masters around Sima Rui, according to Leng Shuang's preliminary estimate, there were no less than three first-class masters in this garden, and the one who tied Qin Linfeng was even more powerful, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
"Tie her back," Sima Rui coldly ordered the two lean men beside him, "And that man, deal with it as soon as possible." ”
"Third Highness, don't, please." Qin Yunxiang just shouted a word, his mouth was tightly covered, and he could only watch Qin Linfeng on the other side of the pond being tied to two thick stones by two black-clothed people's feet, one of the black-clothed people stood up, first arrogantly stepped on Qin Linfeng's body twice, and then kicked Qin Linfeng directly into the pond, such a heavy stone, it was clear that Qin Linfeng was going to sink Qin Linfeng into the lake.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yunxiang's face was completely frozen, she choked, and she fainted when she raised her head.
Sima Rui's eyebrows showed a sharp and cold, he is such a person, even if it is a woman he doesn't like, but since he is already his person in name, how can he tolerate the concern of other men, although he still needs minions in the Qin family, but he never believed in Qin Linfeng's original surrender, this time, it can be regarded as solving a trouble.
Looking at the ripples in the pool water spreading out in circles until it calmed down, as if nothing had happened here, Sima Rui smiled slightly, and his clothes rose in the wind and rolled into a strange arc.
"It seems," Sima Rui said to himself, "the lotus flowers here will definitely grow well next year." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
When the group of uninvited guests in this garden were gone, Qin Yunuan and Cold Frost came out from behind the rockery, Qin Yunuan squinted slightly, looking at the place where Qin Linfeng was sunk in the lake, thoughtful, but Cold Frost's eyes were still heavy;
Qin Yunuan was about to take a look, but Leng Shuang suddenly stopped Qin Yunuan: "Third young grandmother, it's better for us to leave quickly." ”
"What's wrong?" Qin Yunuan cautiously replied, "Did you notice anything unusual?" ”
"Well," Leng Shuang nodded, "It's true that there are many masters, but now that everyone is gone, the true qi around them has always condensed, and I'm worried that there are qigong masters approaching." Cold Frost looked around cautiously, "It's better for us to leave early." ”
"It's okay," Qin Yunuan nodded, "Grandpa and Baochuan are still in the attic, and it's time for us to go back." ”
Leng Shuang nodded, but when he left, he still involuntarily glanced back at the lotus pond.
When Qin Yunuan returned to the attic, he happened to hear Shangguan Yi's hearty smile.
"Okay, this sentence is good, wonderful, really wonderful, Baochuan, who taught you the kung fu of your pair?"
Qin Baochuan was praised so much, but he only squinted his eyes and smiled, with the innocence of a child, but also a little more modest: "Baochuan's mother died early, and on weekdays, it is my sister who urges Baochuan to read and learn calligraphy. ”
When Qin Yunuan left, he once told Shangguan Yi that Qin Baochuan didn't know that the true identity of his mother's Yang family was from Shangguan's family, plus Qin Baochuan was so strong and wanted to save face, he only hoped that Shangguan Yi could hide it for a little longer, so Qin Baochuan still called Shangguan Yi Mr. Shangguan, and most of the discussions between the two were academic poetry and the like.
Seeing Qin Yunuan come in, Qin Baochuan was extremely excited: "Sister, Mr. Shangguan and Baochuan have discussed a lot of poetry and rhyme, Mr. Shangguan is really worthy of being the first Confucian in Daqi, and he really benefited Baochuan a lot, Baochuan can have such a long talk with Mr. Shangguan at a young age, sister, you said that Baochuan is not lucky." ”
Qin Yunuan glanced at Shangguan Yi with a satisfied and kind expression, she knew that Shangguan Yi must have praised Qin Baochuan's performance and demeanor very much, Qin Yunuan touched Qin Baochuan's head and smiled gently: "This is fate." ”
Shangguan Yi's eyes flashed, and he nodded, and the three of them talked for a while, seeing that it was not too early, and when they were about to leave, there was a noise from the attic, and the sound of neat footsteps and armor colliding made the atmosphere suddenly condense.
There was soon a hurried sound of going upstairs on the stairs, and the person who came was a deputy general wearing iron armor, his eyes were indifferent, he simply glanced at the people in the attic, and then arched his hand to Qin Yunuan and said, "Please also ask the third young grandmother of Ning Wangfu to go with us." ”
The palace has always had strict rules, and a man like this kind of able-bodied man can't easily enter and leave the inner palace, let alone this kind of person wearing military armor.
Qin Yunuan smiled faintly, and only asked, "I don't know the general, why do I want to go with the general?" ”
The general narrowed his eyes, looked at Qin Yunuan with a contemptuous look, and then said: "We just found the body of the eldest young master of the Qin family in the lotus pond, and there are witnesses to testify, before entering the palace, the eldest young master of the Qin family and the third young grandmother had a conflict, and there are still people who can testify, saying that they saw the eldest young master of the Qin family and the third young grandmother pulling and pulling in the lotus pond, and there was a contradiction," the deputy general snorted coldly while saying, "Third young grandmother, I and General Leng are both soldiers, although we are in different camps, but we also respect the Leng family, Now that there is a murder case, even if the last general gives General Leng face, he has to act according to the law, and he also asks the third young grandmother not to resist. ”
It was good that Qin Yunuan and Qin Linfeng had a conflict, but when they were in the lotus pond, it was obviously Sima Rui who killed Qin Linfeng, and Sima Rui didn't know that he had been hiding behind the rockery from beginning to end, so it couldn't be Sima Rui who hit the rake upside down, so who would it be, he actually knew his whereabouts, and he insisted that he had a conflict with Qin Linfeng;
"Is this general mistaken," Qin Baochuan was busy protecting Qin Yunuan, "My sister felt unwell at the banquet, so she called me to come to the small attic to chat, and I also met Mr. Shangguan, the three of us have been in this attic and have never left, how can there be a matter of the general's mouth in the lotus pond?" ”
Qin Yunuan did leave halfway, but in order to maintain Qin Yunuan, Qin Baochuan also opened his eyes and said nonsense, Qin Yunuan looked at Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Yi has been silently watching the development of things, he also knows that Qin Yunuan left, and his non-testimony is also a neutral attitude, and he can't be blamed.
"Okay, I'll go with you, but I have one condition." Qin Yunuan's eyes were determined and fearless, "My brother Qin Baochuan and Mr. Shangguan Yi have been talking for a long time, so this matter has nothing to do with the two of them, and besides, I must meet the person who said that he saw me appear in the lotus pond just now." ”
The deputy general snorted coldly, and only said: "When I get in front of the queen's mother, the third young grandmother can naturally see it." ”
Qin Yunuan took a deep breath, but just turned around and instructed Qin Baochuan a few words, compared to Qin Baochuan's reluctant and worried expression, Qin Yunuan looked so indifferent and confident.
On the day of the wedding, the woman's brother died tragically in the lotus pond in the palace, such news undoubtedly embarrassed the Qin family and humiliated the royal family.
Emperor Zhaoxuan sat on the dragon chair, and kept spitting out comforting words in his mouth, wanting to soothe the pain of losing a child in Qin Qian's heart, but looking at Qin Qin's increasingly heavy eyes, it seemed that all the words of comfort were in vain.
He must find out the murderer of his eldest son, definitely!
Just at this time, Qin Yunuan was brought in, Qin Linfeng died strangely and suddenly, and it was inevitable that there would be extraneous branches, and there were only the queen emperor and Qin Zhen in the palace, and then there were some so-called witnesses.
"The folk woman Qin Yunuan has seen the emperor." Qin Yunuan saluted with relief, his eyes were still faint, which was in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere in this hall.
"Now that you have a grade, you don't need to call yourself a 'people's woman' in the palace, didn't the Queen Mother give you a word?" Empress Chen smiled gently, as if she wanted to ease the atmosphere.
Qin Yunuan suddenly had tears in her eyes, raised her head and said: "The women don't dare, the women of the five-grade county lord came too suddenly, which flattered the women and brought too many accidents to the women that could not be handled. ”
Before the emperor began to ask about the cause of Qin Linfeng's death, Qin Yunuan was the first to start pulling away from the topic.
"Look at what I said, the Queen Mother Chrysostom said, if the grade of this county lord is given, how can there be any reason to take it back." Empress Chen said with half disgust, but her tone was still comforting Qin Yunuan, she knew that Qin Yunuan had the means, since Qin Yunuan was going to act, she would continue to play.
"Queen Mother, you don't know," Qin Yunuan's eyes were 120,000 points of grievance, and he glanced at Qin Qiandao pitifully, "For the position of this county lord, Yu Nuan has suffered a lot of grievances in the Qin family, and she has carried all the black pots, Yu Nuan, Yu Nuan can't stand it anymore." ”
