Chapter 144: A Visit to South River City 5
In a small village outside the south of the city, Leng Feng listened to the report of his subordinates and confirmed: "The king was injured for that Chen Ling?" Still badly injured? ”
"Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes." The man said with certainty, "This man is not simple, and he can care so much." ”
Leng Feng nodded: "Pass the news to the eighth prince, and then let Xiaowu speed up the investigation of Chen Ling!" ”
"...... this side of South River City"
"Hold your ground and wait for the instructions of the eighth prince." Leng Feng glanced at him, "Don't worry, Sima Shulin can't find us." ”
In order to find evidence, Chen Ling personally went to the cell to check on Ma Sheng, took the food box in Ju'er's hand, put it on the ground and opened it himself, and winked at Ma Sheng: "My name is Chen Ling, I am a friend of Ouyang Gongzi, and I was also in the Qinglou the night before yesterday." ”
Ma Sheng glanced at her, his apricot eyes narrowed slightly, his small mouth pursed slightly, and his thick black eyebrows showed sharpness, which didn't look easy to mess with, so he turned his head: "Why did you come to see me?" ”
"My friend is injured and I want to catch the real murderer, so I'll ask you a few questions." Chen Ling leaned against the cell door, opened the folding fan and fanned the wind slightly, "These meals are made by me with my own hands, and they are not poisonous...... It's just that I think you would prefer it to be toxic. ”
Because of her orders, Sima Shulin had not provided him with food since breakfast, and now it was late at night, the moon hung in the night sky, and his stomach had already screamed several times.
Ma Sheng glanced at the food, swallowed his saliva, and finally picked up the chopsticks suspiciously and tasted them, which tasted good, and ate some more: "What do you want to ask?" ”
Chen Ling saw that he was eating very happily, and he looked like he knew everything, and said with a smile: "I want to ask, did you pour the diesel?" ”
Ma Sheng nodded: "I poured oil on the back of the Qinglou outside, and then lit a fire." ”
"Do you have martial arts?"
Ma Sheng shook his head: "No, if there is martial arts, I will go in and kill her directly!" ”
Chen Ling asked again, "What kind of enmity do you have with that Oiran?" ”
"She's a watery poplar woman!" Speaking of this, Ma Sheng's heart burst out of anger, and his eyes burst out with strong hatred, "I used to be a showman, and I made a few good poems and dedicated them to her!" I thought she was appreciating my talent, really pleased with me, and the two fell in love, so I accompanied her in the Qinglou every night, chartered her field, gave her countless gold and silver treasures, and provoked the old mother to be so angry that she broke off the mother-son relationship with me. She also pretended to tell me that it was all the fault of the outsider, and she never met me again! As soon as I inquired, she just thought I was poor, so she dumped me and threw myself into the old man who was already in his sixtieth year! Such a woman, just damn it! ”
It turned out that it was really because of love and hatred. Chen Ling thought in his heart, but his face revealed something, and continued to ask, "Then didn't you find someone to commit the crime together?" Judging by your statement, the family used to be very attentive, and there must be a lot of gentlemen and friends......"
Ma Sheng's face immediately sank, and after a moment of silence, he said even more angrily: "Those fox friends and dog friends saw that I was kicked out of the house and had no money to invite them to eat and drink, and they didn't interact with me anymore!" Otherwise, I will find them to kidnap that woman and rape and then kill her!" ”
Chen Ling was stunned in her heart, remembering that there were more than a dozen deep scars on the Oiran's body, which directly pierced her viscera, but these were not her focus: "Then this matter is strange." You only set fire in one place, and the fire can't burn down the house in half a tea time...... You're a showman, didn't you think of that? ”
When Ma Sheng heard this, he recalled that it was indeed a little strange, and the fire did spread faster. He originally planned to fish in troubled waters and kidnap Oiran when the smoke was billowing down and seeing the crowd panic, but when he saw that the fire was spreading quickly, he thought that she would definitely not be able to escape from the Qinglou, but he never thought that she not only escaped from the Qinglou, but also unscathed!
In a fit of rage, he took out his dagger and beckoned to her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Ling asked again: "This prince also asked the prefect to take a look at the dagger you committed murder, it is not like an ordinary dagger, so I want to ask where you got it from?" ”
Ma Sheng didn't finish the food in his mouth and looked at her with wide eyes, then lowered his head again, recalled the events of that day, and said, "That dagger was obtained by me from that woman's hand." ”
"The Oiran?" This time Chen Ling was puzzled, "How did she get it?" According to Liu Jun's identification, the dagger looked like a style often used by people in southern Xinjiang, with a slightly curved blade and a jagged shape, although it was not as sharp as Chen Guo's dagger, it was not easy to wear.
Ma Sheng frowned: "How do I know this?" I couldn't believe it when I got the news of her betrayal, and I sneaked in to confront her, but I got a sneer from her, and I hated her for a while, and I happened to see the dagger and wanted to threaten her on the spot. But she called for someone first, and I hid the knife in my sleeve and was thrown out. ”
When he thought of that woman, Ma Sheng's eyes were full of hatred, coupled with sporadic love and possessiveness. What he loves most in his life is her, he can leave the clan for her, and he won't touch other women for her, but why can't she love herself as much as she loves her? It's all a joke!
Chen Ling put away the folding fan and knocked on the cell door, seeing that he had no idea of hiding the incriminating evidence, he only thought about the appearance of the oiran, not like he had a motive to lie, and after being silent for a while, he walked out: "Then I will retire first, and I will ask you again when I have doubts next time." ”
Ma Sheng stopped her: "You are slow! ”
"Something?" Chen Ling stopped, looked back, and saw Ma Sheng getting up and sneering at her, his tone was not respectful, but it was not rude either, "I want you to help me with one thing - let me write a letter to my parents." ”
Chen Ling turned his head, and then raised a smile: "Yes!" Later, Ben Gongzi will have someone send it to you! ”
With that, she left the cell and went to the yafu.
Sima Shulin was already waiting for her there, and when he saw her come in, he handed the murderous dagger to her: "This thing can be lent to Chen Gongzi, and it needs to be returned on the day of the verdict." ”
She nodded earnestly: "I know." By the way, I still have something to ask the prefect, I don't know if it's okay? ”
Sima Shulin immediately said: "Naturally, you can." ”
"Who informed you of Ouyang Gongzi's whereabouts?" Chen Ling stared at him, only to see that his face froze, and then pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.
"Don't hide it from Chen Gongzi, this official passed by the bazaar that day, and heard passers-by say that two beautiful men came to Nanhe, one of which is very similar to the Seven Princes who defeated the Southern Xinjiang Coalition Army back then, so he asked people to inquire privately, and squatted outside the inn to look at the two, and then confirmed that it was really the Seventh Prince, so he went to greet him."
