044 The Man of the Shadows
Bai Yao walked out and saw that Mo Hui was still standing outside the dungeon door. He smiled, as if nothing had happened.
"The county lord said that she would deal with it." Twilight's words didn't sound like a wave, and he didn't even feel a hint of emotion.
Bai Yao patted Mo Yu's shoulder, looking indifferent, with a smile between his eyebrows: "Brother, I'm different from you, where do you mean." And I, like to weigh the pros and cons. If the county lord wants revenge, he must be ruthless enough. There is nothing wrong with good intentions, but it is clear whether the other party is a human or a wolf. ”
"You care about the county lord very much." It doesn't seem to be Bi'er's death that Moyu cares about.
"She's the master, isn't it normal for me to care about her? What's more, he is still such a fairy-like master. With a bohemian smile on his face, Bai Yao walked forward on his own.
The moment he turned around, the smile on Bai Yao's face disappeared. The appearance of Yu Qianling appeared in front of him. He was just a little worried, worried that if she couldn't bear to kill Bi'er, there might be trouble.
"I'm going back and rest for a while. I'll leave the rest to me. After saying that, Bai Yao left without looking back.
Back in Xia Yuan, Bai Yao was lying on the bed, and when he closed his eyes, a woman in red appeared in his mind. Lately, she has been dreaming every night, laughing or crying. Bai Yao followed her figure, but he couldn't see her face clearly, and he couldn't grasp her hand.
There was a very familiar feeling, and Bai Yao always felt that he could immediately remember her appearance and call her name. But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound.
Bai Yao opened his eyes, it was that dream again, and he simply didn't sleep.
Twilight stood at the outer gate for a long time before entering the dungeon. It's not that I've never seen a dead person, and I'm not afraid of killing. However, he didn't like the dark, damp damp dungeon, which always reminded him of the past he didn't want to talk about.
Twilight crouched down and looked at Bi'er's corpse. The marks on the neck are deep. He knew Bai Yao's skills. But for a woman who doesn't know martial arts, there is no need to be so ruthless.
Forget it, let's go to Zilan Pavilion and inform the county lord first. Thinking like this, Twilight stood up and just wanted to walk out.
Probably out of alertness to danger, or perhaps intuition, Twilight stopped. He crouched down again, hesitated, and reached out to pull Bi'er's collar.
On Bi'er's left shoulder, there is an imprint, which is three red dots in a triangular shape. Ordinary people may think that it is just a birthmark. But his instincts told him that this should be a special memory.
Twilight let go of her hand, stood up, and walked out of the dungeon.
Much later, Mohui learned that behind this mark, there was a shocking conspiracy.
It seems that Zilan Pavilion informed Yu Qianling of the news that Bi'er was dead.
Yu Qianling was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly, let's bury it.
Hearing the news of her death, Ying Hong and Xing Yao were not as happy as they imagined.
The three of them felt that their hearts were blocked.
"County Lord, my subordinates feel that it is wrong for Bai Yao to kill Bi'er without permission. But Bi'er also deserves it. Keep her, and there will be endless troubles. Motwi said.
Yu Qianling nodded: "I know." You go down first. ”
Twilight saluted and walked out.
On the low table was a small cyan porcelain vase. This is what Yinghong found from Xingyao's room, it was placed in Xingyao's house by Bi'er, and inside was the highly poisonous Heding Red.
"Although just now, the slave maid was eager to tear Bi'er. But she was really dead, and the slave felt empty in her heart. The slave maid and Bi'er have known each other since childhood, served the eldest lady together, and have the love of growing up together. ”
Xing Yao paused, and then said, "She wanted to harm others, but she ended up harming herself. It is also considered to be deserved. ”
"Bai Yao, you can actually get your hands down......" Sakura kept rubbing her hands, as if she was a little uneasy.
"That's good, Bai Yao and Mo Yu are guards. To put it bluntly, others can be considered killers. Although it is a prelude to the first slash, it is also to protect the county lord. Xing Yao looked at Yu Qianling.
Yu Qianling smiled, understanding what Xing Yao meant.
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts." After Yu Qianling finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
Ying Hong and Xing Yao hurriedly followed.
Walking into the courtyard, Yu Qianling sat down on the stone bench.
"It's a nice day, you two should prepare some snacks and tea, I'm a little hungry. Throw away everything in the kitchen. Take the time to tidy up Bi'er's room and see if there are any other harmful things. ”
The two of them walked towards the kitchenette.
"Sister Sakura, it turns out that you are interested in Moxie?" At this time, Xing Yao seemed to be a different person, as if nothing unpleasant had happened before.
"you! Don't talk nonsense! Sakura said angrily.
Xing Yao laughed evilly and stuck out her tongue.
It's night.
On the roof opposite the county lord's mansion, a man sat there. He was dressed in black. The light was too dim to see his face clearly, but his eyes were as bright as stars.
A masked man in a night suit, with agility, climbed over the wall of the county lord's mansion, and then jumped onto the roof. He wears a silver mask on his face that covers half of his face.
"Dead?" The man in black asked.
The masked man nodded, "Yes, master." ”
The man in black smiled coldly: "It's so good to be dead!" This is the end of the disobedient minions. ”
"This Bi'er is indeed killed, and she acts arbitrarily. Before, she relied on herself in the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, and felt that the master would not treat her well, so she disobeyed her three or four times. She would have been killed long ago. But the master, in this way, there is no informant around the Lingxian County Lord. The masked man said.
The man in black stood up, squinting his eyes, and seemed to smile like murderous intent: "There will be." ”
A few days later.
"Lord Wang, Lord Xiang ordered someone to send some wine. It is said to be a good wine for the prince to taste. A maid said.
"Got it. Let's go down. Mo Hanyun's eyes were fixed on the book, and he didn't seem to have any interest in wine.
After the maid went out, Mo Hanyun put down the book in his hand.
"Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water will flow more, and raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow." Mo Hanyun stood up, his face cloudy.
"Lord Wang, it was a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, and nothing was found out." Lifeng said.
Mo Hanyun sighed lightly and shook his head: "The people in Dali Temple have found out everything. Although there is no evidence that it is the murderer. However, there is no evidence that this king is not the murderer. That person doesn't seem to want the king's life. ”
"After Xiao Chuhuan was poisoned in the palace, the gossip of the emperor has not stopped until now. Lord Wang, even if this person doesn't want to kill you, he can splash dirty water and ruin the reputation of the prince. Now the emperor always looks lukewarm to the prince. ”
"My aunt's body has arrived in the imperial capital, and she will be buried in a few days. However, the marriage date of the Lingxian County Lord had to be postponed by three months. Mo Hanyun didn't know whether to be happy or anxious.
The postponement of the wedding meant she had to wait three more months. Mo Hanyun naturally hoped that she could end her hatred earlier, and she didn't want her to enter the Xiangwang Mansion again. All along, he struggled day by day, but there was no other way.
The matter of the eldest princess of Pingnan made Mo Hanyun's reputation plummet. The queen was distressed, the prince was helpless, and some officials in the court were willing to believe in him. But the people did not know that the wind was the rain.
Mo Zixiang was not very happy in his heart. Sending those wines is just a false show of concern. The mourning period of the eldest princess of Pingnan postponed her wedding date, which really hit her own feet.
Recently, Qiao Yuewei is really gentle and virtuous, and she is very attentive to the layout of Qinyan Pavilion, and she has specially added a lot of furniture and furnishings.
Mo Zixiang knows Qiao Yuewei, although he doesn't know if she wants to befriend the new princess or please herself, but she still buys her account very much, and has been staying in Yunyue Pavilion recently.
But Mo Zixiang can't believe Qiao Yuewei. The things she sent to Qinyan Pavilion, Mo Zixiang asked Zefeng to check it in person to see if he had any hands and feet. But it turned out that he was overhearted.
Knowing that the wedding date was postponed for three months, Qiao Yuewei felt that it was an opportunity, and began to think about how to get rid of Yu Qianling before the wedding date.
Liu Min is no longer looking for the so-called Linglong Pei. Seeing that Yun Yue Pavilion had recently returned to the time when she was singing almost every night, she was sure that Linglong Pei was stolen by Qiao Yuewei. However, she has no evidence. There are so many maids under his hands, and there is no way to find out. If they were judged one by one, Mo Zixiang was alarmed.
If Mo Zixiang knew that Liu Min had stolen Linglong Pei, then she would have no good fruit to eat, so she could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly. Qiao Yuewei recognized this.
It's night.
Yunyue Pavilion is lively and lively, and the sound of orchestral music and zither drums spreads throughout the entire Xiangwang Mansion.
"Niangniang, the slave maid went to the dining room to urge a supper." Cui Xiao leaned down and said to Qiao Yuewei.
Qiao Yuewei didn't even look at Cui Xiao, and nodded.
Cui Xiao hurriedly walked out.
Passing by the Chunlai Courtyard, Liu Min was standing in the courtyard, with an angry face, pointing in the direction of Yunyue Pavilion and scolding, without the slightest appearance of everyone's ladies.
"It's like this every night, it's noisy and noisy, and it's not going to let people rest!"
"Beauty, be quiet, if it reaches the ears of the prince, it will not be good!" Lotus Pond tried to stop it, but to little avail.
Cui Xiao hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly walked over, for fear of being seen by Liu Min.
Passing by the back garden, seeing that there was no one around, Cui Xiao turned a corner, took a long detour, and came to the rockery in the southwest corner of the back garden. She looked around to make sure there was no one, so she deliberately coughed three times.
A man came out from behind the rockery, wearing a black cloak and a hat covering half of his face. One thing is for sure, this is a woman.
"Master." Cui Xiao said.
The woman smiled slightly, but her voice was very gentle: "You have performed well during this period. Qiao Yuewei's temperament, you can actually persuade it, it can be seen that you have some skills. When it is done, I will not treat you badly. ”
"Thank you, master. Qinyan Pavilion has been cleaned up, what is the master going to do? ”
"I've got my own arrangements over there." With that, the woman hurried away.
Cui Xiao didn't dare to delay too long, so she hurried to the dining room.
