The bloodthirsty murderous intent in Huangfu Hongyi's eyes was so startled that Shangguan Yutang hurriedly held his hand, for fear that he would rashly settle accounts with Huangfu Shao Yan because he was being bullied.

"Hongyi, even if the emperor Shao Yan is not good, he is also a prince, if you rashly teach him, I am afraid that Concubine Zhen will blame you, it is better for me to tell the emperor the truth about this matter, the emperor is a Ming monarch, and he will not ignore it."

Huangfu Hongyi frowned, he was not afraid of Hu Yanzhen and Huangfu Shao Yan at all, and he would not worry about being blamed by Hu Yanzhen, after all, she had no way to teach her son to teach such an arrogant and frivolous son, he didn't mind teaching Hu Yanzhen a lesson to this uncompetitive son.

"Yutang, this king has his own measure, you don't need to worry." While speaking, Huangfu Hongyi pulled her shirt again.

The faces of the two were close at hand, and Shangguan Yutang raised his eyes slightly, just in front of the slight stubble on the chin of Emperor Fu Hongyi, who was thoughtfully tugging her coat at the moment.

The coat on her body still has his temperature, and there is a faint fragrance on the coat, which is fragrant and comfortable.

Huangfu Hongyi pulled her wet hair on her cheeks, and a deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ears, "You go back and bathe and change your clothes first, and rest well, you don't have to take care of Huangfu Shao Yan anymore, since he is so noisy, it must be no big problem." ”

Shangguan Yutang sighed helplessly: "I don't know if he will find trouble with the Shangguan Mansion." ”

"Don't worry, this king has his own way."

Huangfu Hongyi's words undoubtedly gave Shangguan Yutang a reassurance, and she believed that Huangfu Hongyi would go all out as soon as he said it.

It's just that this time I owe Hongyi a favor.

"Hongyi, thank you." Shangguan Yutang smiled at him slightly, but found that the other party had been staring at his face, and his deep eyes were different from the ordinary cold as ice, but gentle as water, and even ...... There is also a hint of throbbing emotion.

Shangguan Yutang touched Huangfu Hongyi's affection, which made her embarrassed and quickly withdrew her gaze.

She hung her head and bit her lip shyly, her hands clenched her sleeves, and before she knew it, her cheeks began to burn, her fair little face was dyed with a faint flush, and even her heartbeat was a little faster.

At this moment, Shangguan Yutang had only one thought in his heart: Hongyi was so good to himself, wouldn't he really like himself? !

Huangfu Hongyi looked at her so shyly, and his handsome face, which was originally expressionless, inadvertently put a smile on it, it seemed that it was time to show her his heart.

"Yu Tang, in fact, this king has always wanted to tell you something."

"Huh?" Shangguan Yutang hung his little head, his heart was beating faster and faster, the blood all over his body seemed to be surging on his face, and his originally fair face became crimson......

Just when Shangguan Yutang was thinking nonsense, Huangfu Hongyi spoke, "Actually, this king ......"

"Phew-" Suddenly, the horse roared to the sky, and the carriage came to a halt. Shangguan Yutang's body rushed forward because of inertia, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Huangfu Hongyi quickly supported her.

Huangfu Hongyi frowned, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, and asked the coachman with a displeased face: "What's the matter?" ”

Huangfu Hongyi took a closer look and found that it was Li Shenlong who stopped the carriage, this Li Shenlong was panting and looking anxious, and before the coachman could reply, he hurriedly said: "Hongyi! Pan Huiniang is dead! ”

"What?!" Huangfu Hongyi was shocked, Pan Huiniang was fine last night, why did she die today? It is imperative to go and investigate.

Huangfu Hongyi turned his head to Shangguan Yutang and said, "Yutang, you go back to Huguo Villa first, and I will go out with Li Shenlong." ”

Shangguan Yutang nodded, and then saw Huangfu Hongyi and Li Shenlong away.

……

Liu's knife shop

There were many onlookers standing in front of the shop, and everyone pointed and talked about the knife shop.

Pan Huiniang's body hung on a wooden beam in the center of the room, and there was a small bench lying on the ground at her feet, which looked like she had hanged herself.

Pan Huiniang stared at her eyes, her eyeballs protruding, as if she couldn't blink to death.

At this moment, a group of guards walked into the house, Huangfu Hongyi waved his hand, and two guards put down Pan Huiniang's body.

Li Shenlong frowned and said: "Hongyi, I don't think Pan Huiniang will hang herself, she loves money so much, how could she be willing to throw away her money?" ”

Huangfu Hongyi was silent, he squatted down and ripped off the white silk around Pan Huiniang's neck.

There are dark purple strangulation marks on the neck of the corpse, and the strangulation marks on both sides are slightly more obvious than those in the middle, as if they were pulled back with a white silk around the neck.

"Hey, what is this?" Li Shenlong made a new discovery, and the belt of the corpse seemed to have a letter pinned to it.

Huangfu Hongyi took down the letter and opened it to see that it was a suicide note, which read: I, Pan Huiniang, have been trading human lives for several years, indirectly killing countless lives, and I am haunted by nightmares all day long, worrying that the ghost will ask for my life. The Buddha said, knowing mistakes can be changed, good is great, my Pan Huiniang is deeply sinful, and only death can atone for sins.

Li Shenlong pursed his lips and expressed disbelief, "If she really wants to kill herself, then how can she make my deal last night?" ”

This suicide note was full of suspicions, Huangfu Hongyi put away the suicide note and continued to examine the autopsy, and suddenly, his eyes fell on the two hands of the corpse.

Huangfu Hongyi frowned slightly, carefully examined Pan Huiniang's hands, her ten fingers were dyed with red Kodan, the nails of her left index finger and right thumb were mutilated, and there were faint traces of dried blood left in the nails, the color of this blood stain was darker than that of Kodan, and it was easy to distinguish.

"She didn't commit suicide, she was strangled to death and then pretended to hang herself, Pan Huiniang's nails were mutilated, and there were blood stains between the nails, but no wounds were seen on other parts of her body, and the blood should be the blood of the murderer."

Li Shenlong suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, it should be caused by the murderer's resistance when she strangled Pan Huiniang, so the nail cover will be mutilated and stained with blood." ”

Huangfu Hongyi nodded slightly, Li Shenlong touched his chin, and said suspiciously: "That...... Who could be the murderer? ”

Huangfu Hongyi: "Pan Huiniang does a life deal, it is inevitable that she will make enemies outside, this case may be a vendetta, or ......"

Huangfu Hongyi's cold eyes were slightly cold, and a trace of chill bloomed in his eyes, "Or maybe our whereabouts were discovered by someone last night, and that person killed people in order to prevent Pan Huiniang from revealing his true identity, if this is the case, then the murderer must be Pan Huiniang's colleague." ”

Li Shenlong's head flashed in inspiration, and he hurriedly spoke: "Pan Huiniang is a female streamer, since she is trading human lives, it means that she still has several subordinates, and these subordinates may not hesitate to kill her in order to protect themselves, but how many subordinates does Pan Huiniang have?" ”

Huangfu Hongyi pondered, if Pan Huiniang had really done a few years of human life trading, Huguo Villa should not have found out now. Either that, there is a huge backer behind Pan Huiniang to protect her.

……

Outside Liu's knife shop, Chai Zheng was standing behind the crowd of onlookers wearing a hat, and his figure was buried in the crowd.

The inky black hat covered his indifferent face, and he subconsciously rubbed his hands, which had scratches of different sizes on his knobby hands.

Chai Zheng lowered his head and looked at his scratched hands, his eyes were filled with tears, and a crystal clear tear fell on his hand, slowly sliding down the scar on his hand.

…… Thoughts go back to last night......

Chai Zheng had already ridden away from Liu's knife shop, but found that the gold bracelet he had bought before had forgotten to give to Pan Huiniang, he was going out for a few days on this trip, and it was Pan Huiniang's thirtieth birthday soon, and he wanted to give her the gift he had carefully selected before her birthday.

So he went back to his house halfway, and when he returned to the vicinity of Liu's knife shop, he found a tall "girl" walking out of the shop, and Pan Huiniang sent the "girl" away with a smile.

Chai Zheng's face suddenly darkened, thinking that this Pan Huiniang had taken her words as wind in her ears again.

He returned to Liu's knife shop and wanted to teach Pan Huiniang a few words, but Pan Huiniang's first reaction when she saw him was to protect the few pieces of gold she had just received.

She looked at him in disbelief: "Brother Zheng, why are you back again?" ”

Chai Zheng hated iron and said loudly: "Pan Huiniang, why are you so disobedient, you said that you should not buy and sell human lives in the past few days, do you think life is important or money is important?!" ”

Chai Zheng's tone was angry, and when he heard him murder himself, Pan Huiniang immediately pulled down her face aggrievedly, "Ouch, Brother Zheng, I'll earn this time, okay?" Earn this time, I'll stop tomorrow! ”

Chai Zheng knows her character best, she is a person who sees money and loves money like life, if someone tempts her with silver tomorrow, she will still forget today's promise.

Chai Zheng said categorically: "No! Send the gold back to the family! At this juncture, you are still thinking about money, be careful and even lose your life! Aren't you afraid that the person who came just now was sent by the government to test you? ”

Pan Huiniang didn't want to suffer from this nest of anger, and immediately replied: "Brother Zheng! You've been a killer for so many years, how can you be more greedy for life and afraid of death than me? Money is my life! I'm going to die, and I'm going to die with my money! ”

She is angry, and she can't talk more than a brain, what can't she die, she has to live and spend money well, so she doesn't want to die!

Chai Zheng twisted his brows, thinking that this Pan Huiniang had fallen into the money hole and couldn't climb up, thinking back that when he was in Qingcheng Mountain that day, the people of the Protector Villa were also there, if Ah Gang was arrested by the people of the Protector Villa, it would be a matter of time before Pan Huiniang's head was found.

Chai Zheng was worried that Pan Huiniang would show her feet because of greed for money, so he snatched a few pieces of gold from her arms, smashed them on the ground, and shouted: "Don't you want gold?" I'll give it to you! Don't take any of this on the ground! ”

Chai Zheng forcibly put the gold bracelet prepared for Pan Huiniang on her wrist, "I'm here to give you a gift, not to quarrel with you, since you are disobedient, then follow me to Baiyue City tonight!" ”

Pan Huiniang was completely angered by Chai Zheng's rough behavior, she wrinkled her face and struggled: "Chai Zheng, what are you crazy about?!" Why did you throw my gold on the ground? Where is your gold bracelet worth all these pieces of gold? Let go of me! ”
