Chapter Ninety-Six: A Visit to the General's Mansion

The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Li Tianxin and the old madman accidentally heard the conversation between the two monks patrolling the mountain in the temple in the forest of Faning Temple, and learned that a monk named Silent saw the murderer committing the murder, but the host of Faning Temple concealed the matter. After Zhu Zhu quickly found his theory, Zhu Zhi knew that he was at a loss and took the three of them to the silent meditation room. So it led to a peek in the general's mansion, the portrait of the girl reappeared, and there was no flaw in righteous words, could it be that the murderer was there?

When the three of them followed the servants to the living room of the General's Mansion, Li Hong, the great hero in people's mouths, was already waiting here, and he motioned to the servants next to him to show tea to Tianxin and a few people, which was very polite.

Zhu Ran respectfully took the tea, feeling apprehensive and not knowing how to speak. After all, they are now in the General's Mansion, and the person in front of them is the man who is about to marry the princess, if he really offends him, not only will his master's Wusha not be guaranteed, but even his own little life will have to be explained. After thinking about it, he never spoke.

Li Tianxin naturally saw Zhu Ran's concerns, she took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, cleared her throat and said. "I believe that General Li should be clear about the purpose of our trip."

"If Li didn't guess wrong, you guys are doing it for Man'er." Li Hong is very simple, and there is no taboo like a big family at all.

"Exactly, exactly." Zhu Ran hurriedly answered, and he paused. "Cangsong Town hasn't been so peaceful lately... It would be a remiss of our duty to let something happen to your cousin... Please also General Lai... Condolences change..."

"Good wishes, sir."

"Where does the villain dare to call himself an adult, General Li can call me to wish the capture quickly..."Zhu Ran hurriedly gave a salute, how dare he raise his own value as a small catcher, if he goes back and is known by their master, don't embarrass him.

"Since that's the case, Li is welcome." Li Hong placed the teacup in his hand on the table. "I heard that this time the incident is very serious, in addition to what happened to Man'er, there are other victims."

"Yes, this murderer is extremely cruel, and every time he kills someone, he leaves a painting back, which is quite arrogant." As soon as Zhu Ran mentioned this murderer, he was angry, and he spoke louder and louder, completely without the timid appearance just now.

Tianxin snickered on the side, although this blessing was hindered by the doorway in the officialdom, and some of them couldn't use their fists and feet. But once the case is mentioned, when the murderer is mentioned, he has a jealous and hateful momentum, and he can't hide it, so he can be regarded as a man of temperament. However, the contrast between before and after still makes people feel quite funny.

"It turns out that it's not just the portrait I received from the General's Mansion..."Li Hong thought thoughtfully. Li thought that the murderer had a grudge against me, so he was involved..."

"You mean... The General's Mansion also received a portrait? When Zhu Ran heard the news, his whole body trembled with excitement, so the painter of Zhilan Academy, his identity as a murderer can almost be determined.

"Exactly, Steward Wei, bring the portrait of Man'er." The Wei official behind Li Hong commanded.

"Yes, General." After the Wei Guanjia saluted, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Li Tianxin looked carefully, the big hero Li Hong in front of him. To be honest, in the streets and alleys, the general praised by everyone is indeed dignified, heroic, and easy-going as everyone says, without the slightest arrogance and domineering. Could it really be that she looked away, Li Tianxin frowned slightly, she could only feel the unique aura of a soldier on Li Hong's body, the kind of killing and bloody battle intent. In addition, Li Tianxin didn't feel any demonic energy or aura at all, he was really ordinary.

"This Daoist Li, what do you want to ask?" Li Hong naturally felt it, Li Tianxin's strong gaze. He vaguely felt that the girl in front of him had doubts about him.

"What is the relationship between General Li and Ling's cousin Li Manman? I have heard that she was going to marry you. Li Tianxin did her homework for this murder, and she gave full play to her good ability to gossip. Li Tianxin paused. "But she died unexpectedly, and I don't think General Li seems to be too sad."

"I'm not very familiar with my cousin, she is the child of my mother's distant relative, when Manman came to the General's Mansion, I was still fighting in Mobei, and I received her bad news, I was on my way back from victory, so I don't know much about everything." Li Hong sighed. "Although she doesn't have much intersection with me, but it is reasonable, I still hope that you can catch the real culprit, bring him to justice, and give him justice."

"So you've never met your cousin at all, and you've never crossed paths?" Li Tianxin was surprised, it seems that the life of the ancients' parents and the words of the matchmaker are indeed true, and when I see it today, it really makes people laugh and cry.

"Exactly." Li Hong's eyes were firm and he did not hesitate.

"Then don't you want to marry her?" Based on Li Tianxin's three views, she doesn't believe that there will be any emotions between two people who have never met, and the possibility of getting married is almost zero.

"This marriage was decided when Li was very young, the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker. The parents who are under him died early, so even if he has no feelings, he will obey his parents' orders to marry his cousin. ”

Could it be that the ancients really respected filial piety so much that they could ignore their own lives and the happiness of others for the sake of these? "I also heard that today's saint gave marriage and married Princess Fengyang to the general, I wonder if the general will get rid of his fiancΓ©e Li Manman, who has no ties, for the sake of the noble princess? After all, the princess Jin Zhi Yuye should not be willing to share the same husband with others, right? ”

"Is Daochang Li suspicious of Li?"

"It's just assumptions under that."

"That's nonsense! How could my general do such a unconscionable thing! "Steward Wei with the portrait walked in, he has served in the Li family for three generations, how can he see the little master humiliated." On the day Miss Biao was killed, the young master was not in the house. The official old man who found the body, if you have any questions, just ask me. ”

"Steward Wei, don't be angry, we're just routine, let's talk casually, talk casually." Zhu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead, this general's mansion is not easy to mess with, not to mention that Li Hong will become the concubine of today's saint in the future, and Li Hong's heroic image alone is not something they can slander casually.

Li Tianxin did not get angry when he heard Steward Wei's words, but seemed to have found a breakthrough. "The poor Taoist Guan Wei steward's face was ruddy and energetic. Presumably, Steward Wei's health must be good, and he should be strong when he is old. ”

"Why did the Taoist say that?" In the face of Li Tianxin's sudden praise, Steward Wei was a little confused.

"That female corpse looked so terrifying, it scared a monk crazy, and I was so scared that I vomited. But Steward Wei didn't have any waves on his face when he mentioned this female corpse, and he wasn't afraid at all, Poor Dao thought that you would faint with fear at such an age! From this point of view, Poor Dao is really admired, admired. ”

"You!" Steward Wei was extremely annoyed in the face of Li Tianxin's seemingly harmless but provocative words, and he suppressed his anger and said. "The old man is also a person who has fought on the battlefield with Mrs. Li, and there are many dead bodies on the battlefield, which are 10,000 times more terrifying than this female corpse, and the old man has seen them. Just a skin, what's so scary! ”

"So for this kind of method, the General's Mansion doesn't feel any cruelty?" The old madman's voice suddenly interjected at this moment.

"The people we roll in the pile of dead people are more courageous than ordinary people, so no matter how horrible the corpse is, it is just a dead man."

"People who have fought are bold, and poor people believe it, but the deceased was the future housewife of Loei before, even if he has no feelings, he will not be described as a mere skin. Poor Dao felt that in the eyes of Steward Wei, Li Manman's corpse was just a piece of skin, or that her death was nothing more than Er'er? ”

"That's not what the old man meant!" Steward Wei blushed suddenly. "How can you distort the old man's meaning!"

"The two Taoist chiefs are angry, Li Mou was raised by Steward Wei since he was a child, he is resolute, he has always spoken straightforwardly, just now he must have been to protect me before he said anything, if he offends, please Haihan." Li Hong bowed his hand and saluted Li Tianxin and the old madman and apologized.

"General Li is serious, serious..."Zhu Ran on the side hurriedly played a round.

The old madman smiled and stopped talking, he looked at Li Hong meaningfully. Li Hong didn't have any expression on his face, he took the scroll from Steward Wei's hand, and said as he opened it. "This is the portrait we received, and the person on it is the vine."

Li Hong spread the portrait on the table, and a girl in purple appeared in front of everyone, compared to Long Mei's playful cuteness, Li Manman obviously has the unique temperament of everyone's ladies, gentle and feminine. Although the people in the painting are different, they still exude a strong demonic aura and the stench of corpse flesh and blood.

"It's a shame that such a beautiful woman is." Li Tianxin smacked his lips. "Thin life, thin life."

"If my cousin hadn't been engaged to me, maybe this wouldn't have happened. Speaking of which, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this. ”

"General Li, the festival is smooth. People can't be resurrected after death, and I believe that my cousin Izumishita will know and will not resent the general. Zhu Ran, like other people, admires the great hero in front of him who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. He had heard that Li Hong was fighting with foreign races in Mobei at that time, and he died nine times in his life, and it was a miracle in himself to survive, not to mention that he could return triumphantly!

"I don't know if General Li has any suspicions in his heart?"

"Li has lived on the battlefield for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the people and things that have appeared here recently, and he is familiar with some old people." Li Hong thought about it carefully.

"Then according to General Li, Long Mei, Qingqing Girl, and Li Manman are all your old acquaintances, according to your understanding of them, who will they be victimized?"

"Li really doesn't know how they died, of course, Li Daochang's suspicion of me is reasonable, so Li can understand." Li Hong shook his head helplessly. "I always hope that the three of them can arrest the murderer and eliminate the harm for the people."
