Chapter 141: Truth 1
Everyone searched the room again, and this time the murderer was obviously more skilled than the last time, leaving no trace at all.
That night, when he returned to the Ten Princes' Mansion, when Jiang Cailing was about to rest after taking a bath, the crane wind that had been protecting in the dark suddenly sounded, and when he heard the sound, He Xiaoxiao immediately pulled out his sword and protected it in front of Jiang Cailing.
Through the open window, they could see a man in a nightcoat wrestling with Tsurukaze...... No, it was evading the attack of the crane wind, and it was not directly disadvantageous to the crane wind.
Hearing the sound, the guards in the Ten Princes' Mansion hurried over. Suddenly, Hefeng's hand holding the sword paused, and the person was stunned in place. The man in black threw something in his hand and disappeared into the night.
"Chase!" The guards who had just entered the door all left in a hurry, chasing the footsteps of the man in black.
As soon as Su Qingcheng heard that an assassin was attacking the courtyard, he immediately rushed from the Range Rover Courtyard, and Crane Feng took advantage of the darkness of the night to hide the things given by the man in black in his cuffs, and then cut his own arm with a dart, creating an illusion of his hand in the fight just now.
Su Qingcheng's direction may not be able to see, but from Jiang Cailing and He Xiaoxiao's point of view, everything that Hefeng has done is taken into view.
"What's going on?" Su Qingcheng walked into the room anxiously, and after seeing that Jiang Cailing was safe and sound, a hanging heart really let go.
Jiang Cailing shook her head, "I don't know what happened, but looking at that person's skills, it doesn't seem to have killing intent." ”
"It's fine if you're okay." As soon as the words came out, Su Qingcheng suddenly realized that he was worried about Jiang Cailing.
lowered her head unnaturally, but found that Jiang Cailing was only wearing a light shirt at this time, probably because she had just bathed, and she could smell the quiet smell of orchids when she got closer, and it seemed to linger around her nose and refused to disperse.
The long black hair was half-dried on his shoulders, and the thin belt of his belly pocket was tightly exposed under the hair-soaked clothes, and his skin looked fair and translucent against the dim light, and the slight flush on his cheeks was a little more soft than during the day. Especially a pair of smart apricot eyes, covered with a faint mist, and she was like two people in the past.
Suddenly there was a heat in his lower abdomen, Su Qingcheng secretly said that it was not good, and he left the courtyard without saying a word, as if he was hiding from some flood beast.
"What's wrong with him? What nerves are there? ”
He Xiaoxiao smiled, "Who knows what's wrong with him, Su Qingcheng hasn't been normal recently." ”
Jiang Cailing nodded, now she is becoming more and more unable to understand Su Qingcheng.
Hefeng, who was standing on the side, stared at Su Qingcheng's figure, a smile full of meaning was hooked on the corner of his lips, and he secretly said in his heart: Of course you girls who have not come out of the pavilion will not know, Su Qingcheng just had the reaction of a man's nature.
After Su Qingcheng left, there were only the three of them left in the room, and after laughing in his heart, Hefeng remembered the matter, and immediately took out a paper scroll from his cuff and handed it to Jiang Cailing's hand, "This is what Jiu Ge gave me just now." ”
"You're saying that person just now is Jiu Ge?"
"The subordinates have made moves with the Nine Song guards, and they are very sure."
Jiang Cailing's heart moved, could it be that something happened to Gu Jiming's side? I hurriedly opened the note, only to see a portrait of a man drawn on it, accompanied by lines of small text, introducing the life of this person.
After a long time, Jiang Cailing put down the note and looked into the distance leisurely, "Let's go, you two will accompany me to the post house again!" ”
……
Under the cover of Hefeng and He Xiaoxiao, Jiang Cailing came to the post house again.
Under the moonlight, a slender purple-robed man stood under the tree, with a tall temperament like a mortal immortal who needs to go through a love calamity. The handsome face is like a thousand skilled craftsmen patiently carving, and it is extremely beautiful, especially a pair of inky eyes are exceptionally bright under the dim octagonal lamp, and the world is cold, and the hidden emotions are more mysterious than the night.
Even if she has seen it a thousand times, she will always be amazed by this beautiful face.
A familiar voice came warmly, accompanied by an insincere smile, "I like that painting very much." ”
Jiang Cailing raised a smile on her lips and walked in front of Gu Jiming, a hint of sly cunning flashed in her eyes, "What do you like to do with me, I painted it for Ah Gua." ”
"Oh?" Gu Jiming bent his good-looking eyes and said in a dignified voice, "When I return to Da Zhou, it is winter, so it is better to stew a melon and drink dog broth to keep warm." ”
Jiang Cailing chuckled, when will Gu Jiming be joking.
He Xiaoxiao and He Feng had already left a long way away with great interest.
Jiang Cailing stretched out her hands and hugged the person opposite in her arms, with a sense of satisfaction on her face, she really liked Gu Jiming so much, she liked him to the core.
Growing up in a patriarchal family, it often happens that Jiang Cailing's younger brother also likes what she likes, and at this time, her father and mother will ask her to give good things to her younger brother. Over time, I have developed a temperament that I will not take the initiative to fight for what I like.
To say that it sounds good is indifferent, and to say that it is not good is to cowardice.
But in the face of Gu Jiming, she was not indifferent at all, and for the first time she had the urge to get something she liked. buried her face deep in Gu Jiming's arms, her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, she was really reluctant to let him leave her first.
Sensing that the person in his arms was not in the right mood, Gu Jiming began to regret if he pretended too much last time and frightened this little thing. Thinking of this, he bowed down and deepened his embrace, gently raised his hand to rub Jiang Cailing's soft hair like a cat and a puppy, and his deep and charming voice had a calming effect, "I'm here." ”
Under the moonlight, the two hugged each other tightly, having nothing to do with the wind and the moon, and nothing to do with love.
Packed up his emotions, Gu Jiming led Jiang Cailing to the location of the first crime, and He Xiaoxiao stunned the guards, so no one would find out that the dignified Ten Imperial Concubines of Chu had a close personal relationship with the prime ministers of other countries.
"What have you discovered these days?"
After Jiang Cailing told Gu Jiming everything, she suddenly thought that she had seen the dark brown powder on the ground before, so she immediately squatted down and said to Gu Jiming, "I think this powder is very suspicious." ”
Gu Jiming put it between his index finger and thumb, gently twisted the powder, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, and said affirmatively, "It's sawdust." ”
Then he looked up, and with a slight tap of his toes on the beam, he found fallen red paint and worn wood on a beam, and twisted it with his fingers, which coincided with the sawdust on the ground.
A spark of wisdom swelled up in his inky eyes, "Let's go, go to the next one." ”
A trip to the second crime scene also revealed wood chips and worn beams.
After careful analysis, Jiang Cailing and Gu Jiming looked at each other and smiled, as if everything was explained!
……
On the second day, dark clouds gathered densely in the sky, covering the sun cleanly, and the dark blue sky made people feel extremely depressed.
Early in the morning, the peaceful Ten Princes' Mansion was disturbed by the chaotic crowd, and one of the great eunuchs said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty has a decree, please enter the palace as soon as possible, there must be no mistake!" ”
It is likely that the matter of the post house was stabbed in front of the Chu Emperor by the Wang family, and the Chu Emperor sent someone to find it, clearly to ask the teacher for the crime.
Jiang Cailing, as the imperial concubine, naturally wanted to go, and after tidying up her clothes in a hurry, she entered the palace with Su Qingcheng and the others.
Above the main hall, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly silent.
A pure red carpet covered the floor, and two dragons made of pure gold were entrenched behind the dragon chairs, looking more hideous than ever. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Luan Ziyi kneeling on the ground, extremely embarrassed, and when he saw them coming, he also lowered his head, refusing to look at each other as if he was weak-hearted, and was silent.
When Jiang Cailing saw Luan Ziyi's weak look, she knew that he had pushed the black pot to them.
Sure enough, Emperor Chu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, didn't wait for them to give a salute, so he asked in a cold voice with a gloomy face, "Old ten, why do you want to stop the murder of the eighth general, I Qi Playing the Post House?" ”
Su Qingcheng was not surprised when he heard this, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said calmly, "Erchen did prevent the starling from reporting the case to his father yesterday, because he thought that the murderer that the starling thought was innocent. ”
Emperor Chu slapped the table angrily, threw the celadon teacup in his hand in front of Su Qingcheng, and the porcelain pieces that flew up crisply brushed Su Qingcheng's good-looking cheeks, and blood suddenly burst out.
But this did not calm the anger of Emperor Chu, and he said angrily, "Presumptuous! I'm asking why you concealed this murder, and do you know what that means when there are two murders in quick succession in the inn where the envoy lives? ”
"The son has no intention of deceiving his father, it is precisely because the whole matter is so important that it needs to be handled carefully." Su Qingcheng seemed to have said a lot, but he didn't say a word seriously, and he didn't explain any reason.
Luan Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart after seeing it, obviously she proposed to block the news, but the tenth brother didn't mention him at all, and when she thought of her own behavior just now, she suddenly felt disdainful, so she raised her head firmly and decided to speak for Su Qingcheng.
"Father, I believe that the tenth brother also has his own way to do this, why don't you please give him three days, if the tenth brother can successfully find the real culprit, then the merits and demerits are worth it, what do you think?"
Dare to love Luan Ziyi because he wants to be a female cousin and wants to set up a memorial arch, obviously he poured dirty water on Su Qingcheng, and he is still pretending to be kind here.
"No need, Erchen has already found out the truth!" Luan Wenzhi's warm voice came, with a confident demeanor in his eyebrows and eyes, "The real culprit that Erchen has already found out, please send it down to Your Majesty!" ”
Jiang Cailing bent the corners of her lips coldly, she also wanted to know who this murderer was!
