Chapter 62: Father and Daughter Suspicion
Except for the pool of blood and the red silk of the honor guards scattered around, there was no trace of a fight in the stone forest. A few calm guys said that there were only two people in black, and there was no martial arts at all, as if they were kicking and bowing, and the people who stood in the way were kicked out one by one. One was kicked and broke his ribs, and the bone pierced his heart, and he went on the spot. There was also a small guy who fell on his back, hit the back of his head on a stone, and died directly.
Song Ling let go of his hand, the black cloth fell leisurely, covering the body, and he said to the servants who came from the Zheng family: "Carry it away." ”
Shen Baiyan stood aside with his hands in his hands, his eyes rolling, and he walked around. It was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still going to fall from this sparse and dense grass and trees, and when it fell in Shen Baiyan's eyes, there was only a little yellow light.
Fu'an was originally standing next to Song Ling, but he took a few steps to the side, avoiding the dry turf, and carefully blew a fire breaker to light the lantern in his hand. The ignition jumped because of a breeze in the forest, and an inexplicable cold light at Fu'an's feet pierced into Shen Baiyan's eyes.
"Fu'an." Shen Baiyan called him.
Fu'an carried a lantern to illuminate Song Ling, and when he heard this, he raised his head in confusion, only to see Shen Baiyan stretching out his hand and pointing at something. Fu'an looked in the direction of his finger and found a square silver object lying on the ground, like a token.
Fu'an picked it up, he dusted off the sand on his head, and was about to hand it over to Shen Baiyan, but he saw a flame on the token.
Silver flames, isn't it......
Fu'an clenched the token and involuntarily took a step back.
"What's wrong?" Shen Baiyan wondered, but saw a trace of fear gradually appear in Fu'an's eyes.
Shen Baiyan turned to look behind him, there was nothing suspicious, Fu'an was afraid of himself?
"Ruohui, look at what Fu'an has in his hand." Shen Baiyan said lightly.
Song Ling was looking at a footprint on the trunk of the tree, but before she understood what Shen Baiyan was talking about, she was stuffed with a hard piece of stuff by Fu'an in her hand.
Song Ling looked down, and when the silver flame was imprinted in his eyes, Song Ling sneered, "Heh, what is the idea of this fight?" ”
Song Ling raised his hand and threw the token to Shen Baiyan. "I remember, you can tell who you belong to on each of your tokens?"
Shen Baiyan touched the edge of the token, and there was a bumpy touch on his fingertips, "It seems that the people who do this don't know that each token is different, this is a big loophole." This token belongs to the Tibetan Sea, and the year before last, Fei Lan sent him out to investigate the corruption case of the Jiangnan River Embankment. He was ambushed, killed by several arrows, and lost his token. ”
Su Shui and Fei Lan are Shen Changxing's secret guards left to Shen Baiyan, over the years, Shen Baiyan's secret guards have grown completely, but these are all secrets, even Song Ling only knows a little bit about it, and the secret guards have only seen Su Shui and Fei Lan.
Song Ling suddenly had a lantern stuffed in his hand, and he saw Fu'an hiding behind a tree far away, blocking his ears while trotting. He knows what to listen to and what not to hear.
"Didn't all the money from the corruption case go into the sleeve of that one? Could it be that this is also his handiwork? It was already completely dark, and the puddle of blood that belonged to Song Yao had already coagulated most of it, and under the light of a little candlelight, it shone like a thin light like a blood diamond.
Song Ling stared at the pool of blood for a long time, and said softly: "It's just, what does all this have to do with Song Yao?" ”
"This matter has two purposes, one is to make the Song family have a grudge against me, and the other is to make Song Yao die." Shen Baiyan touched the token in his hand, "But I always feel that this token seems to be by the way." ”
The token was casually thrown here, and the identity of the man in black was not revealed at all, as if he had come here just to take Song Yao's life.
"Woo, ah, woo, ......" The hoarse and terrifying voice of the old crow in the forest sounded, Song Ling only felt very annoying, and picked up a stone and hit the crow, but the crow fell but happened to hit Fu'an's head, and Fu'an was so frightened that his soul was about to fall.
As soon as he turned around, a figure appeared out of nowhere, and he slammed straight into the man's chest.
Fu'an ran from behind the tree with a shout, followed by a confused Su Zheng.
Su Zheng said to Shen Baiyan: "I have already told Fei Lan, and he will personally go to check the origin of those two black-clothed people." ”
'It turned out to be the son of the prince's subordinates! Fu'an let out a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said, "Young master, son, let's go back first." Anyway, it's dark this day, and there are no clues under the lantern light. ”
Shen Baiyan thought for a while and said to Song Ling: "I picked up this token, I have been involved left and right, I will go back to the house with you and explain to General Song." ”
Song Ling nodded in agreement, and the three of them returned to the Song Mansion in the night.
As soon as I returned to the Song Mansion, I saw Song Taikang and Aunt Zhou, the big housekeepers in the outer courtyard of the Song Mansion, standing outside the door, directing the little maid to take off the red silk, and there was already a little maid holding the white silk for backup.
When Aunt Zhou saw them coming back, she hurriedly greeted them, and by the light of the lantern at the door, she could vaguely see that Aunt Zhou's eyes were red and swollen, and she had cried fiercely.
A living big girl went out in a wedding dress, how could she come back and become a corpse? The Song family was still shocked and grieved, but the funeral was about to be done, and everyone was busy.
"It's a mess in the house now, I asked the kitchen to prepare noodles for the young master, let's go eat some." Song Yao and Zheng Chengguang have already exchanged Geng posts, and they have also made up their minds, and they are already nominal husband and wife. Although the Zheng family can use the prevarication of not visiting the church, Zheng Chengguang is still a conscientious person, and said on the spot that he would welcome Song Yao into the ancestral grave. Therefore, Song Yao's body was transported back to the Song Mansion, and after three days of suspension, it was directly transported to the ancestral tomb of the Zheng family for burial.
"Is Daddy back? Where? Where does Song Ling have any thoughts about eating noodles now, so she just asked straight to the point.
"Probably in Madame's yard." As soon as Aunt Zhou's words fell, she saw Song Ling and Shen Baiyan walking in three steps and two steps, and the Fu'an people had short calves, so they had to trot all the way to keep up.
"Hey, what's this called!" She touched the hanging white silk and sighed.
Song Ling and Shen Baiyan walked in a hurry, and the servants saw that they all retreated to both sides, and after a while, they arrived at Le Xiangzhai. Song Ling was really sitting in the front hall of Le Xiangzhai, not only him, but even Song Zhi was here.
Song Zhi and the maidservants of the Lin family all bowed their heads and stayed in the courtyard, and when they saw Song Ling and Shen Baiyan coming, they were only blessed.
"Ruohui, Jingyu!" Song Ling hurriedly stood up, he had just brought Song Yao's body back, and he only had time to drink half a cup of tea. "What did you find?"
Song Ling's footsteps froze, and he reflexively closed the door. Shen Baiyan handed the token he had been holding all the way directly to Song Ling, Song Zhi stood beside Song Ling and glanced at the thing, and immediately raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Baiyan, but the shock in his eyes was only for a moment, and it turned into a thing.
Shen Baiyan felt that Song Zhi's eyes changed very interestingly, but the current situation didn't allow him to think about anything more, so he looked away and explained to Song Ling the origin of this token.
Before Song Ling could speak, he let out a long sigh.
"It's too crude, isn't it?" Song Zhi took the token and looked at it over and over in his hand.
"You think so, too?" Song Lingdao said that he had two sons and three daughters, but unfortunately the eldest son was disobedient, the eldest daughter was vicious, and the second daughter died, leaving only Song Zhi and Song Ling The two children were still close to her. He reached out and rubbed Song Zhi's black hair, and the soft touch loosened Song Ling's tense nerves.
"Naturally. Why did the prince kill the second sister? It doesn't make sense at all, I think, someone wants to kill the second sister, and by the way, pull the son off the horse. Song Zhi said simply, he did not deliberately avoid suspicion because of his relationship with Shen Baiyan.
Song Ling nodded and did not speak.
"Then isn't there no trace of this matter, the second sister is a boudoir woman, what enemies will there be?" Song Ling ran out of clues, sat on the round stool, and said dejectedly.
Song Zhi pushed a cup of hot tea to him, his lips opened slightly, but he held his lower lip in his mouth.
"What clues do you have?" Shen Baiyan asked when he saw her look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Song Zhi's long eyelashes cast a small shadow on her face, and she said with a little hesitation: "Didn't Brother Lang say that the eldest brother sent someone back a few days ago?" ”
Song Ling just wanted to refute it, but swallowed back his words, slowed down, and then said, "What do you mean by this?" Why did your eldest brother kill Yao'er? Song Zhi meant that his own son sent someone to kill his half-sister! Song Ling's tone was more or less reprimanded.
Shen Baiyan saw Song Zhi's hand on his lap grabbing his shirt, and thought that she was frightened by Song Ling, but he heard her voice be soft but very calm and said another sentence, "The marriage of the second sister was originally the eldest sister's, and the eldest sister herself tossed it away, so it fell into the hands of the second sister." ”
With that, the room was quiet.
Although Song Ling did not say anything to refute, his face was obviously not very good.
"Where's my mother? Can the second sister tell her about this? Is she okay? Song Ling noticed the undercurrent surging in this room, half to change the topic, half worried about Lin's body, and asked.
"My mother is fine, but it happened suddenly, she couldn't stand it, and she added some calming medicine to the fetal pills, and now she is asleep." Song Zhi nodded and explained. Her expression was indifferent, not panicked, but there was a sadness and depression between her eyebrows.
She looked at Song Ling's face, and said in a soft voice: "Father, don't blame me for thinking so, it's not like you don't know about those things in the big sister." Seriously, with her heart, it is not unusual to do such a thing. ”
Song Ling nodded perfunctorily, still didn't speak, got up and went to the Lin family's inner room.
Shen Baiyan watched Song Zhi's hand on Song Ling's shoulder freeze in the air in embarrassment, and after a while, he retracted it abruptly, and an indescribable uncomfortable feeling appeared in his heart.
"Wherever things are done, there must be traces, I have asked people to check the origin of the man in black, and I will give you an explanation."
