Chapter 69: The Scene of the Crime

Xing Zhutou heard Liu's call, and the foot that he just wanted to step out was retracted, turned around and hugged Liu's and asked:

"What else does Madame command?"

Liu knocked on the table with one hand, paused for a moment before slowly speaking:

"To be on the safe side, you can't keep your good friend, and you have to move quickly, it's best to solve it tonight!"

Xing Zhutou frowned, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Madam, Pingping didn't know about this, but I asked her to accompany me in a play temporarily, and I didn't know if we had to plan to spare her life."

Liu Shi smiled, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, his heart was like a snake and scorpion, and he smiled at Xing Zhutou:

"Xing Zhutou, that's just a Qinglou woman, she is a good man, is it possible that you are reluctant? After this incident, Mrs. Ben will find a few women from large families who have not yet come out of the cabinet for you to choose from, and accept them as concubines, wouldn't it be beautiful. ”

Xing Zhutou heard what the Liu family said, but Zhao Chongwen didn't say anything, and then hugged his fists and said:

"The subordinates know what to do, and the subordinates take their leave!"

Zhao Chongwen waved his hand and motioned for Xing Zhutou to retreat, after Xing Zhutou stepped back, Zhao Chongwen stared at the direction of Xing Zhutou's departure, and said ruthlessly:

"Madame does it feel necessary to ...... him?"

Zhao Chongwen also made a gesture to wipe his neck, and Liu smiled faintly:

"Master is too worried, Xing Zhutou is loyal to us, and he will never betray us, and we are also employing people now, there is no need to do this, such a small thing will cost us to break our arms, which is a bit worth the loss.

Besides, even if the two people in Shizifu really have the ability to find out that we did the game, so what, we don't need to be afraid at all, I believe that Shizifu will not offend my Liu family because of a concubine, and tear up our Liu family's face, after all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Song Jing doesn't give the lord face, then you have to give me face to the Liu family. ”

Zhao Chongwen had learned Song Jing's temper in the public court, frowned and couldn't help but worry and said:

"Madame doesn't know, this prince of Xinyang acted impulsively, when he went to court, he also said cruel things to the house, and even threatened to say that he was not afraid to tear his face with the Liu family, I think with his stunned behavior in the afternoon, it is possible that he will really tear his face with us for a concubine."

Liu's face was indifferent, and he didn't change any face because of what Zhao Chongwen said, and said lightly:

"Master, you can rest assured, even if Song Jing acts impulsively and doesn't think about the consequences, but King Xinyang won't, he has to weigh the influence of our Liu family in Kyoto, if we have other palaces in the Liu family's team, it will undoubtedly be worse for King Xinyang."

Zhao Chongwen stroked his mustache, looked at Liu's confident face, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Seeing that Madame is so confident, could it be that there are variables in Kyoto?"

Liu smiled and peeled an orange and handed it to Zhao Chongwen, then said:

"I received a letter from home in the morning, and my brother mentioned in the letter that the third young master of the Nangong family was assassinated in our Yuegang City some time ago, which made the Nangong family feel sorry for the king of Xinyang, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the third young master of the Nangong family will have to go back to Kyoto.

There is a more important point, the head of civil officials, Lin Xiang, has secretly supported King Yu, although he has not said it explicitly, but he has secretly ordered his forces to stand in line with King Yu, in such a situation, King Xinyang is not striving for the support of my Liu family, so who else in the court will be willing to support King Xinyang? ”

Zhao Chongwen laughed when he heard it, happily ate Liu's oranges, and said with a smile:

"Then I wonder what my father-in-law plans to do next?"

Liu Shi responded lightly:

"My brother did not mention my father's plan in the letter, but only told the lord to wait patiently in Yuegang City, and when the situation is clear, when the time is ripe, he will naturally bring the master to stand in line with him.

Zhao Chongwen was in a good mood after hearing this, and couldn't help laughing louder, and said flattering to the Liu family:

"The house can marry a lucky star like Mrs., it can be said that the house is fortunate for three lives, Mrs. is not only smart, but also for the house to give advice, but also for the house to lay a lot of cornerstones, for the house to share a lot of worries." After speaking, he laughed even more presumptuously.

When Liu heard Zhao Chongwen praise himself like this, his heart was as sweet as eating honey, and he replied happily:

"The lord has won the prize! The slave family and the master are a family, so they naturally have to work together, the master is thriving, prosperous and rich, and the concubines are not also happy? ”

Zhao Chongwen laughed and said:

"Madame is right, she is right!"

On the other side, Nangong Mo and the three of them went out of the mansion, did not dare to delay for a moment, came to Wanzi Building overnight, and went to the room at the scene of the murder, and the old bustard was still guarding the scene at the scene of the murder at this time.

Nangong Mo saw the old bustard and asked first:

"Mother Su, the murder scene can be properly protected."

The bustard nodded and responded:

"The old slave knew that the situation was serious, and in the afternoon, he had to be instructed by the little brother to personally guard the scene and not let others approach, and even ordered his subordinates to send it for dinner, just waiting for you to come."

In this solemn atmosphere, an untimely sound broke the atmosphere, and everyone looked at Hou Mingli in unison.

It turned out that Hou Mingli heard the old bustard talk about dinner, and his stomach rumbled out of time, Hou Mingli saw everyone's joking eyes, lowered his head in embarrassment and blushed, flashed to the side and didn't dare to look at everyone.

The old bustard smiled and came out of the round and said:

"I guess you haven't eaten yet! The old slave will go and instruct his subordinates to prepare some dinner for you, and you can check the scene with peace of mind, and the meal will come immediately. ”

Nangong Mo nodded gratefully to the old bustard, hugged his fists and gave a salute of thanks:

"There's Mama Laosu!"

The body monkey also hugged a fist in gratitude, and did not say anything, Hou Mingli heard that the bustard was going to prepare food, and immediately raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed his saliva.

The old bustard smiled and bowed to the three of them, and retreated on his own.

Nangong Mo and the body monkey saw that the bustard had withdrawn, and they were not idle, so they hurriedly checked the scene.

A white line was drawn where Lu Pingchuan fell to the ground, and there was a silk scattered next to it, only one teacup on the table was upright, and the other teacups were all upside down, proving that only one person had drunk water, the murder room was not large, and the scene would not be very messy, proving that the crime had been very short, and Lu Pingchuan had not struggled too much.

The body monkey picked up the ayara on the ground, looked at the wrinkles on the ayara carefully, and nodded, proving that his guess would not be wrong.

Nangong Mo walked to the tea table, lifted the teapot, picked up the teacup and poured a new cup of tea, took it to his nose and smelled it, and finally dipped his fingers in the tea, licked it with his tongue, and then frowned.
