Chapter 701: Go with the enemy to investigate the case
He Angelica's eyes narrowed, and he replied resolutely: "Thank you for your concern, this little housework will not cost the help of the two nobles." ”
Zhu Quan's whole body exuded an aura as cold as the sword at his waist, turned his back, and snorted coldly: "Let's go, that woman said that she could solve it herself, and this king has no obligation to help her solve it." ”
Feng Yang shook his fan and said with a smile: "Don't be so ruthless! Don't say that we came to Yangzhou to deal with this matter, just for the sake of past friendships, and there is no reason to leave. Don't make a fuss, Obuchi! As he spoke, he stabbed Zhu Quan with the handle of his fan, and Zhu Quan turned awkwardly in another direction.
The lives of people in the Qing Garden were at stake, He Angelica was not interested in watching these two people flirt, and finally reiterated: "Those who are not invited are not our guests, please take care of yourself." ”
After hearing the rumors behind Feng Yang, he issued a fierce protest: "It's the 'fourth'!" "Are the two of them big living people being ignored out of thin air!
Steward Li trotted over with his feet in his hands, entered the house to take a look, and fell out with an "ah", and was frightened half to death by the people on the beams. He Angelica returned to the house to check the clues at the scene, and instructed Li to steward: "Pour fire oil on this place, burn it down, and bring people to the house." ”
"All, all burned?" Steward Li was shocked.
"That's right."
"Yes, yes......" Steward Li tried to stand up, but found that his legs were too weak to support his body. It's not that he hasn't seen a corpse before, but that Mrs. Xu's death is terrifying, and her tongue is so long!
He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his head, came back to his senses, and said to himself: "I heard Lao Zhang in the kitchen say a few days ago that Mrs. Xu has been sneaky for a while, and she ran to the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal the wine jar...... Could it be that when the incident happened, he was afraid of sin and hanged himself......"
"Oh? There is such a thing! Feng Yang said with interest, "Then quickly call Lao Zhang over and ask what the situation is." He stepped forward and helped Steward Li, who only felt a warm current spreading from behind his elbows to his whole body, and his legs were not weak, so he immediately regained his strength and went to work.
After a while, the servant who carried the oil and the old Zhang in the kitchen arrived.
Lao Zhang told everything he knew: "Mrs. Xu had rubella half a month ago, and she invited herself to recuperate in the abandoned garden in the northeast corner. Then one day, the villain found that someone came to the kitchen at night to steal things, and looked at the back of the person very much like Xu Pozi, after checking things, he saw that bird's nest, shark fin and abalone cucumber were not short, and there was one less big meat bun on the cage drawer, and a few dusty wine jars in the corner were gone. The villain felt pity for Mrs. Xu in his heart, so he didn't publicize this matter, but only mentioned it in the good steward Li. ”
"Oh? There is such a thing! Feng Yang came over again, and Yue Yi analyzed on his behalf, "I heard that the Miao people raise Gu in the jar, put a hundred kinds of poisonous insects into the jar, let them fight each other, and the last one to survive is the Gu King." However, no jar was found in the house where Mrs. Xu died, so how is this good? ”
Lao Zhang said with a little hesitation: "There is one more thing, the villain didn't even tell Steward Li, because the villain was also scared by Knot at that time, and now he still feels creepy when he thinks about it......"
"What's the matter? Speak quickly, speak quickly! Feng Yang urged with a smile.
He Angelica said with a straight face: "Feng Gongzi, you are too lenient. I tell you not to meddle in other people's affairs, and also, check the people around you to see if they have any bad intentions. Otherwise, you may not even know how you died. ”
Feng Yang's response was to blow a long and reverberating whistle at Zhu Quan. Zhu Quan said coldly: "This king's time is precious, and he doesn't plan to waste it here." ”
"So what are you waiting for?" Feng Yang hooked his lips at the old man and said, "Tell us quickly, what creepy things have you encountered?" ”
Lao Zhang said worriedly: "It's also Mrs. Xu, the villain saw her commanding a scorpion to crawl into the mouth of the crazy woman, the crazy woman kept laughing and screaming, and after about half a pillar of incense, the scorpion crawled out as it was, and the crazy woman was still alive!" ”
"What mad woman?" Feng Yang asked curiously.
"It's Shuqin, a concubine left behind after Guan Mo's death." He Angelica replied on behalf of Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang nodded yes.
Feng Yang put away the fan, tilted his head and said, "Hmm...... Now it seems that all the clues point to the Guan family, and it is impossible to find out the truth if you don't go to it. Sister Qingyi, when are we leaving, have we had lunch or now? ”
He Angelica frowned and asked: "Although Shuqin has something to do with the Guan family, it seems that Mrs. Xu is not. I also made a sudden decision to go back to Yangzhou, how could Mrs. Xu collude with the Guan family in advance. ”
Feng Yang smiled: "You don't know yet, do you? Zhou Jinglan, the side concubine of Xiaoyuan that you offended, was originally the biological daughter of the Guan family, she once lived in Yangzhou for a while, and it seems that she also said a lot of bad things about you to her Guan mother. In addition, the Xu woman who hanged her family is still the mother of Concubine Zhou's maid Xu Siniang, and she is their accomplice. Although Concubine Zhou and Xu Siniang no longer exist, it seems that their hatred seems to have been continued. ”
"Oh, I see." He Angelica said calmly, "But what does this have to do with you?" If the Guan family is really involved, I would rather find out the truth alone than cooperate with those I can't trust. ”
"Didn't we talk about a business about 'canal water transport danger prediction', and it was finally approved by my dad a few days ago!" Feng Yang squeezed his eyes and said, "So you and I have officially become business partners, and I am already your big customer, so what can I not trust?" Even if we have had one or two different opinions in the past, people's impressions are always changing, so don't be too conservative! ”
He Angelica had a secret fire in his heart, Feng Yang knew that she was not referring to him but Zhu Quan, but he deliberately misinterpreted her meaning. No matter how he is a lobbyist, if he wants her to investigate the case with Zhu Quan, it will be impossible to do it.
At this time, the people of Qingyuan had already doused Mrs. Xu's hut with fire oil inside and out, and when she was about to throw the torch, a figure rushed out of the bushes next to her, shouting wildly, "There are ghosts, she is a ghost, you are also a ghost, you are all evil ghosts!" After some incoherent words, the figure ran into Mrs. Xu's house, turned it around in a mess, and then took something from under the pillow before laughing and running away.
The people noticed that the person was a frequent visitor in the Qing Garden, the madwoman Shuqin, and they all felt accustomed to it, and no one planned to stop her from leaving. He Angelica watched silently from the side, but at the moment when Shuqin ran away, he unexpectedly punched a silver needle. I saw a ray of silver light silently sink into Shuqin's left ear, and she didn't even have time to make a call before she fell straight up.
Feng Yang also touched his left ear and grinned: "This time it really hurts, Xiao Qingyi has also practiced such a powerful trick!" We'll have to be careful when we talk in the future, Xiao Yuan. ”
Zhu Quan swept half of his eyes and only said: "Carving insect skills." He Angelica unceremoniously rewarded him with a needle, and Zhu Quan was also hit in an instant, falling down like Shuqin.
"Wow, that's sharp!" Feng Yang let out an incredible exclamation, although Zhu Quan's internal strength was abolished by Geng Bingxiu, but the foreign kung fu that he had practiced for more than ten years was not for fun. actually brought down Zhu Quan with one move, when did He Angelica have such ability?
He Angelica rubbed his numb wrist in his sleeve and smiled silently. Yes, she is far from being Zhu Quan's opponent in terms of martial arts, but she knows Zhu Quan's weaknesses well, and this alone is enough as a deterrent.
"Search that woman's body and see what she took from Xu Po's room." He Angelica commanded.
A person stepped forward to rummage, and saw that Shuqin's eyes were closed, and she didn't hold anything in her hands, so she had to look for her shirt again, and found a yellow cloth bag on the innermost layer, and opened it to see that there were a few paper hinged villains inside. So I threw it away, looked through it again, and found nothing else. The man said: "Back to Grandma Seven, there is nothing suspicious on the crazy woman, maybe she just came in to make trouble." ”
He Angelica didn't think so, she picked up the bag of paper figures, looked at it twice, and put the cloth bag into her sleeve.
Syllable!
The silver needle on Zhu Quan's body bounced away, and his person also sat up from the ground, glaring at He Angelica angrily, as if he strangled her to death. Feng Yang hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, pushed Zhu Quan, and said with a smile: "The business is important, the business is important!" Xiao Yuan, you have never been rude to women, why did you become a different person in the face of Qingyi? ”
Zhu Quan stood up angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Go!" ”
Feng Yang turned around and asked He Angelica: "I have a good relationship with Guan Bai." You can come and go freely in and out of the Guan family, do you want to come with us? ”
"I don't go with people I don't trust." He Angelica said, "First clarify your purpose. Don't tell me anything, 'For the sake of old friendships,' I don't believe a word of those reasons. ”
Feng Yang shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Okay, it's okay to be honest. He glanced at the other people around him, and ran behind He Angelica in a flash, and whispered in his ear, "But I can only tell you one person, here's the thing, Xiao Yuan lost something very important, and what it was revealed exactly." The only one who can get close to that kind of thing is Concubine Zhou, Concubine Zhou died on the road after being sentenced to exile, that kind of thing has not been found, she has no close people during her lifetime, only a few letters from the people of the Guan family in Yangzhou, so we found it here. ”
He Angelica thought about it, when Zhu Yuanzhang was sick in bed in the previous life, Zhu Quan never left the capital for a single step, even when Zhu Yunwen sharpened his knife and made him worry about his life. Now he actually came to Yangzhou at the most critical moment in order to find something, and it is self-evident how important that thing is to him. What could that be?
After thinking about it, she bowed her head and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to Guanjia with you, but I have one condition." ”
