Chapter 53: Li Chong, King of Langya

Feng Zheng walked into the palace with a thoughtful face, because everyone in the palace knew that he was a guest brought back by the little county lord yesterday, and he didn't encounter any difficulties all the way.

Still thinking about the person I met just now, who is the prince?

There was a sudden sharp pain in his forehead, Feng Zheng raised one of the hands holding the sugar gourd and rubbed his head, and looked at the ground, it was a small pebble.

On the other side, Tang Tang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Nerd, what about Sichun in broad daylight, with an obscene look." ”

Feng Zheng's face straightened: "Nonsense, insulting us and other Sven people." ”

Tang Tang and Shen Changfeng had already walked over, stretched their heads forward and looked: "Nerd, why did you buy two strings of sugar gourds." ”

Feng Zheng handed one out, shook his head and sighed: "I also bought a gift to see you, you kid doesn't know what to do." ”

Tang Tang pouted: "Are you embarrassed to take a sugar gourd?" It's a shame that you're still the son of the official Shangshu, so you're stingy! ”

"That's my dad!" Feng Zheng didn't blush and bit down a piece of sugar hawthorn and chewed it in his mouth: "I'm still a poor scholar." ”

"Phew." Tang Tang stuck out his tongue: "Stingy Central Plains people." ”

However, he still took the sugar gourd from Feng Zheng's hand, looked at it, and said with disgust: "How can there be soil?" ”

"Uh......" Feng Zheng remembered, it seemed to be the sugar gourd on the right hand side that landed just now, and said with a serious face: "This is called fairy soil, eating it can keep you safe, solve disasters, and it has been popular in the city recently." ”

Tang Tang threw it back: "I believe in your evil." ”

Feng Zheng grabbed it, his hands were full of sugar, looked at Shen Changfeng, and flattened his mouth: "She doesn't appreciate favors." ”

Shen Changfeng looked helpless at these two living treasures.

When passing through the garden, Jelly Bean caught up: "County Lord, I found it." ”

Tang Tang nodded: "Well, go now." ”

Jelly Bean turned around and took two steps, then turned back again: "County Lord, are you still going out in the name of the Great County Lord as before?" ”

Tang Tang turned his flute and raised his chin: "Of course." ”

Shen Changfeng and Feng Zheng couldn't understand what dumb riddles this master and servant were playing, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Tang Tang had a secretive expression: "We'll know later." ”

As he was talking, several figures came out of the pavilion corridor, leading Li Mingyue and a man in a light purple brocade robe.

Because they were standing behind the flower garden, there were two osmanthus trees in the shade, so they could see each other, but the other party did not notice.

Feng Zheng sighed and said, "It's this man, who is he?" ”

Jelly Bean was originally leaving, but when he heard Feng Zheng's words, he replied casually: "This is the King of Langya-Li Chong, the current Shuzhou Thorn Shi, and the righteous son of our prince." ”

Feng Zheng blinked: "Shuzhou Thorn Shi Li Chong, I have a little impression, I heard that he is young and less than thirty years old, but he fights Chaodian in the east, sweeps the eighteen villages of Yanshan in the north, and is famous all over the world...... Unexpectedly, it was him, and it was really fortunate to see him today. ”

Before Jelly Bean left, he said quite gossipy: "I heard that this King of Langya and the lord of the big county are about to get married, and it is estimated that it will be within the year." ”

At this moment, Tang Tang and the others saw Li Mingyue and Li Chong talking alone in the pavilion, and withdrew all the maids.

Tang Tang's dark eyes turned around, and he smiled evilly: "We went over to eavesdrop." ”

took three steps, so that Shen Changfeng stopped: "Eavesdropping is immoral." ”

Tang Tang snorted: "They still steal men and prostitutes in broad daylight, I'll hear what's wrong." ”

Feng Zheng finished eating the sugar gourd, bit the empty pole and said: "Tang Tang, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the idiom." ”

Tang Tang wrinkled his nose and turned his head with his arms folded: "Anyway, you are all annoying Central Plains people." ”

"I think so." Feng Zheng wiped the sugar residue on his palm with a handkerchief, and said seriously: "You still don't want to make trouble, King Langya is not a wasted person, if you rashly go up and let someone find out, how embarrassing it will be then." ”

Tang Tang raised a pair of eyes, and said with contempt on his face: "Who is I, Tang Tang, and can I still be discovered?" ”

Shen Changfeng knocked her forehead: "You're not going out?" ”

Tang Tang's long eyelashes fanned up and down, and his dark eyes flashed: "Oh, you're right, let's get down to business first." ”

Feng Zheng was very unimpressed with the serious things in Tang Tang's mouth, and both of them felt that she was just going out to act indiscriminately in the name of Li Mingyue.

Shen Changfeng also secretly made a decision, he must take good care of her later and not let her mess around.

In the southwest outside the city of Xinjin Prefecture, the whole forest is very empty, and the wind is whistling, like a beast wandering.

Two figures landed on the edge of the cliff out of thin air, as quiet as rabbits.

"Mumu, this is it, right?" The red clothes and black hair danced in the wind, Shen Lingjun squatted down and went out to look.

Su Mu's memory has always been good, and he came once last night, of course, it is impossible to go wrong.

Looking down from above, because the location of the two is high, and the halfway up the mountain is covered with clouds and mist all year round, nothing can be seen except for the white fog.

Shen Lingjun pondered for a long time and said, "Jump down and take a look?" ”

Su Musha looked around, although this cliff does not know the depth, but it is not precipitous, if you are careful to climb the stones, it is not impossible.

After a meal, the two stood on a large rock, looked at the situation in front of them, and sighed deeply.

But I saw that the corpses were piled up like a mountain within a radius of several miles, and the stench was stinking. Moreover, these corpses were not complete, some of them had severed hands and arms, and even their heads were broken in half, which could be connected to their bodies with a layer of skin, and their eyes also rolled to the side.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha guessed that it should be caused by jumping off the cliff.

And there are many crows among the corpses, some of those crows are freshly dead, and some of them have been dead for a long time and are beginning to decompose, sticking together with the corpses, the scene is strange.

Nan Qifeng said that these corpses are extremely poisonous, and they will die if they get a little touch, which seems to be true, and the crows naturally ate the flesh of the corpses, and fell here after being poisoned.

No matter how strong the wind is in the valley, it can't blow away this long-lasting stench.

Shen Lingjun shook his head and said, "With so many people dead, why didn't the government report it." ”

Su Musha retreated to the back, his eyes removed from the pile of carrion, and reminded: "Ling'er, you forgot about the flood in Jinyuan Mansion. ”

Shen Lingjun was stunned: "You mean, these people may be on the list of missing people in the flood, and we thought they were just swept away by the flood?" ”

Su Musha nodded: "Maybe there are some wanderers and beggars." ”

Shen Lingjun carefully looked at the clothes worn by those people, although they were tattered, he was sure that what Su Musha said was right from the only remaining fabrics.

"Mu Mu, I have a bad conjecture in my heart about Shangguan Rou." Shen Lingjun held the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his hand, walked two steps along the stone, and pondered.

Su Musha looked at her: "Huh? ”

Shen Lingjun looked at this place like purgatory on earth, who would have thought that it was only a dozen miles away from the lively Xinjin Mansion.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Think about it, how did the corpses come from?" ”

Su Mu's eyes moved: "Ling'er, you mean that Shangguan Rou may have been arrested." ”

Shen Lingjun touched his nose and said, "Otherwise, I really can't figure out why she suddenly disappeared." ”

"According to what you say, those who disappeared in Shangguan Mansion ......" Su Mu looked away, and his voice was clear: "Shangguan Fei imagined that they all met with accidents, but he probably never imagined such an end in his life. ”

Shen Lingjun was puzzled again: "However, if I were a murderer, I would definitely not attack Shangguan Rou." "From what they have observed, most of the corpse refiners are looking for homeless people who are begging, or they take advantage of the flood to capture a group of villagers.

But after all, Shangguan Mansion belongs to a famous family in Jinyuan Mansion, and if it weren't for a fool, of course he wouldn't choose such a tricky target.

Su Musha groaned: "Maybe Shangguan Rou left the house without permission, so that the murderer thought she was alone......"

"But no matter what, she is wearing silk and satin, no matter how you look at it, you can see that she is a rich and noble family."

Su Musha nodded: "Well, you're right, and as early as last year, someone in the Shangguan family has been missing, or we think too much, these two things are not related." ”

Although Shen Lingjun and Su Mu covered their mouths and said this, they still had some thoughts in their hearts, but at present, there was a lot of fog, covering up the most critical places, and they couldn't see through it.

"Let's go up first." Su Musha felt that this was really not a good place to talk, he didn't have to eat for three days after he was smoked, and if he continued to stay, he would save his food this year.

Shen Lingjun also thought it was really disgusting, so he nodded.

From the bottom of the valley back to the mountain, you have to climb up from the opposite cliff, where the terrain is quite flat and there are no strange rocks.

With the efforts of the two of them, this is not difficult, but it takes some time.

With their feet on the top of the mountain, the two of them took a breath of fresh air from the mountain, and the stuffiness in their chests that had been held for a long time was dispersed.

Su Musha raised his hand and waved it in front of his nose, always feeling that there was still a trace of foul smell lingering on the tip of his nose.

Shen Lingjun smiled evilly: "I think it's the clothes that have been contaminated, so it's better to take them off." ”

Su Musha glanced at her helplessly, but when she said this, how to wear this dress was so uncomfortable, and she felt itchy all over.

Shen Lingjun dragged Su Musha's sleeve and shook it, to say that Su Musha has no shortcomings, the only thing is that his cleanliness is too heavy!

Even if you don't ask Shen Lingjun, you know that when he goes back, he will take off this clothes and throw them away.

Look, look, what a waste, isn't it?

Shen Lingjun once heard Cicada Yu and Su Bo chatting, saying that Su Musha's clothes were all from the handwriting of Jinxiufang. She didn't take it seriously, she just felt that it was no different from other embroidery workshops. Until I inadvertently asked, Cicada Feather said that this splendid workshop is different from other places.

As for what is different, Cicada Yu said a lot, and Shen Lingjun only remembered one, that is, the price is particularly expensive, and the price is outrageous!

Shen Lingjun pinched the light and soft sleeve fabric of Su Mushu with two fingers, and sighed in his heart - it's just a piece of clothing, can it still be worth a thousand taels?

In order to turn his mind away from his clothes, Su Musha put his eyes to the side and looked for a way down the mountain.

After looking at it like this for a while, he frowned: "Ling'er, look at that place." ”
