Chapter 549: I Love Angelica

- I love what should be returned to him.

He Angelica stretched his neck to look, and when he saw these seven words, his eyelids on both sides jumped together, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. The font of these seven characters is very familiar, and it is clearly Zhu Quan's handwriting. Plus the people who died, all of them were hers......

Duan Xiaolou finished reading the envelope, glanced at He Angelica again, and finally twisted his brows and put the letter into his sleeve, and then pulled out the unsigned letter on the envelope below, shook it open and looked at it, it was a long list, with portraits of people next to each name, a long list of nineteen people, and it was the death list of the bag of dead heads. All of them are concubines from King Ning's Mansion, from Princess Xie to Concubine Xi, as well as their servants and maids.

He Angelica compared the list, and when he checked the bag of heads, he found that there were also names and portraits of Zhou Jinglan and Xu Siniang on the list, with a total of seventeen heads, and only Zhou Jinglan and Xu Siniang were missing. Probably because the two died in the flood.

What a tragic death, such a murderous method. Who orchestrated these more than a dozen bloody crimes? What is his purpose in doing this?

He Angelica didn't dare to think about it. Just because the handwriting in this envelope is still Zhu Quan. And the faces of those who died, she was very impressed, all of them were people who had a big holiday with her in their previous lives. Princess Xie and Concubine Wan naturally don't need to say, one has a noble status, the other is old, and they didn't have as many privileges as her in the palace back then, these two people were naturally deeply resentful, and gave her small shoes to wear openly and secretly, and the last time was when she was wronged for fornicating with a man and was imprisoned in a water prison. Both of them once fueled the flames and provoked Zhu Quan's anger, and Princess Xie also fabricated a few false testimonies.

Gu Concubine had the deepest enmity with her because she was pushed down by Gu Concubine when she was less than a month pregnant, and the daughter born early was congenitally deficient;

Liu was a concubine in the palace in the early years, because of the design to wronged her for stealing, took the opportunity to beat her dozens of back flowers, during the execution Zhu Quan rushed over, furious, demoted Concubine Liu to Concubine Liu and punished the grounding, after a few months, Concubine Liu quietly died without mentioning, and now this Concubine Liu has died "for the second time", and the death is several times worse;

As for Concubine Xi, she doesn't have any big grudges against her, but she has a bad mouth and loves to bombard her on any occasion, to the effect that she was born in a poor family, so she is lewd by nature, and she uses some unbearable tricks that her ladies can't do to confuse Zhu Quan, so that she will be pampered. She was very aggrieved after hearing this, and she cried to Zhu Quan, and Zhu Quan comforted her a few words. However, half a year after she "complained", Concubine Xi fell off a cliff on the incense road and died - now this Concubine Xi is also dead "for the second time".

What made He Angelica most frightened was that the heads of the dead inner eunuchs, grandmothers, and maids were all people who had sinned or hurt her in their previous lives, and they all happened in front of Zhu Quan.

Seven of them are Princess Xie's grandmothers, maids and internal eunuchs. Mama Wang and Mama Jin were the two who poured hot charcoal into her throat with their own hands; Eunuch Zhang was when she first entered the palace, snobbery looked down on people, on the grounds that her clothing was shabby and non-compliant, she was not asked to participate in various banquets attended by Zhu Quan, and later she accepted the favor, Zhu Quan asked why she had never seen her in the palace before, she said this reason, Zhu Quan was angry at the time, but Princess Xie knew that after protecting Eunuch Zhang, Zhu Quan did not delve into it; The other four maids and grandmothers have more or less caused harm to her, one of them poisoned her tea bowl and was investigated and punished on the spot, but Princess Xie is a "righteous" master, and when those things were exposed, these people were not punished as they should be.

The faces of the remaining women, He Angelica also knows, are the roommates of Concubine Wan and Gu Concubine.

In the days when she fell out of favor later, Concubine Wan and others were afraid that Zhu Quan would come back to her, and they had the heart to come to a "wall down and everyone pushed", with the slogan "A concubine who has fallen out of favor, and a happy family", so they introduced the girls in their rooms to Zhu Quan. Concubine Wan is one of the earliest concubines who followed Zhu Quan, and the girl who accompanied the room grew old and became plums, so Concubine Wan asked people to buy a lot of stunning colors in Jiangnan, and they were all fine in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and gave them to Zhu Quan for entertainment. Sure enough, Zhu Quan has broadcast grace so far, and he will no longer favor one person. As soon as He Concubine's "strong Qin" fell, Ning Wangfu entered the "Warring States Period" when the heroes were divided, and Zhou Jinglan took advantage of the situation to sit big, held all the key powers, and designed to kill her.

Thinking of this, He Angelica gasped, these were the heads of her enemies in her previous life, combined with the words "I love He Angelica in person" on another letter, she couldn't help but be suspicious, it was Zhu Quan, the previous life who occupied Zhu Quan's body, who planned to kill these people. In this way, it also makes sense why he sent the pampered concubines in the house to inspect what mines. Zhu Quan himself looks down on women's abilities, thinks they are straw bales, and never likes to use women to do things.

And listening to what Sima Mingyue said to Zhu Quan, these women were all sent out of the palace by Zhu Quan for various reasons in the past ten days, that is to say, the person who gave the order was also Zhu Quan in his previous life.

By doing this, was he helping her get revenge? also used the orcs of Dongchang, using such a brutal and terrible killing method.

In her previous life, there were also orcs in the East Factory, but the development was unsuccessful, and only a few semi-finished products were made, so her fierce reputation was not heard of, and she was not impressed by orcs. It wasn't until the year or two before her death that Dongchang made a major breakthrough in the method of refining orcs with drugs, refining hundreds of artificial masters with copper tendons and iron bones. And this life has advanced nearly twenty years, and the orcs have appeared, could it be that Zhu Quan is making trouble behind his back in the previous life? He wanted to expand his strength and speed up the pace of becoming the emperor, so he chose to cooperate with Cao Hongrui of Dongchang and tell the other party the correct way to temper orcs, so as to attract this powerful foreign aid?

If this is the case, it will be terrible, a large number of terrifying killing machines are being infinitely manufactured by the East Factory. Moreover, Cao Hongrui's choice of cooperation object was Ning Wang Zhu Quan, so except for a few orcs that were taken to the emperor for "visiting", most of the orcs used for Cao Hongrui's private transactions with Zhu Quan must have been secretly made, and they were a killing team that was not monitored by the imperial power. Take the orc in front of him who was killed by Zhu Quan, his light skills are not inferior to Duan Xiaolou's, even if Duan Xiaolou was not dragged down by her at that time, he fought the orcs with real knives and guns, if he didn't know the orc's door, he might not be able to easily win and kill him.

Although Zhu Quan is dead in the previous life, Zhu Quan is still alive in this life, I don't know how much he knows about this deal with Dongchang, and how much ambition and appetite he has. Even if Zhu Quan's head is extinguished, in the capital, the great eunuch Cao Hongrui is still there, and those orcs whose martial arts are comparable to top masters are still there, which is really terrifying.

He Angelica further thought that in the days when Cao Hongrui's righteous son "Man-eating Demon King" Cao Gang arrived in Yangzhou, children began to be lost everywhere in Yangzhou City, and even some large families with strict guards also lost children at home. So, Brother Zhu and Wei Ge are all ......

When she thought about these things, her expression was gloomy, and it was cloudy and sunny alternately, which made Meng Xuan suspicious for a while. Because on the envelope of the letter that Duan Xiaolou put away, the words "I love He Angelica and Qi in person" were really seen by Meng Xuan, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the handwriting on this "death list". He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and he was stunned for a while.

"Huh? General, look," Duan Xiaolou's subordinate suddenly said, "On the corner of the paper behind this list, there are also calligraphy and paintings, and there is also a drawing of a person!" ”

"Really!" Another subordinate said, "This painting is this young lady!" He pointed to He Angelica.

Duan Xiaolou flipped over the "death list" as he said, and sure enough, on the corner of the paper on the back, there was a portrait of He Angelica himself, and it was also noted next to it: He Angelica, Tsing Yi with long hair, Yangzhou Qingyuan.

Duan Xiaolou's subordinates analyzed: "The paper on the front is full, so this is written on the back of the paper, coupled with the vicious behavior of the orcs chasing and killing this Miss He just now, it means that she is also one of the dead lists, and she is the only one of the twenty people who survived." If it weren't for the general's invincibility and King Ning's bravery, Miss He would have followed in the footsteps of those nineteen people. ”

If there was no envelope signed "I love why should I return to the family", of course Meng Xuan would be willing to think so, but the word "I love" is a bit dazzling. Why were these people killed by orcs, and why should they be ...... And why is there such a clear understanding of orcs? He didn't want to think about it, but he couldn't help himself and didn't want to go down.

One head and one head nodded, and Meng Xuan suddenly said, "There are two fewer heads, and there are only seventeen heads here." ”

Because the heads were stained with blood, most of them had injuries on their faces, and they were difficult to identify, so Duan Xiaolou's subordinates walked over and asked Sima Mingyue in a low voice: "I just heard King Ning tell you that the dead are all from King Ning's mansion, is it true?" Giving you the list, can you find out who the two surviving are? ”

Sima Mingyue nodded, nodded at the list with the man, looked at the list again, and after a while, he found the owner of the missing two heads, and said: "Concubine Zhou, as well as her companion Xu Siniang, are the two people who were sent to Taizhou with the dead Gu Concubine, neither of them is here, presumably they were spared." Fortunately, we killed this murderer here, and their danger was naturally lifted. ”

"No, both of them are dead."

Meng Xuan and Zhu Quan said in unison. Zhu Quan listened to her when he first met Gu Concubine, and Meng Xuan listened to her cry after saving Gu Concubine, saying that she and Concubine Zhou came out these days, how many days of waterway, not a single accident happened, and on the second night of meeting He Angelica, Concubine Zhou went out mysteriously, she was worried about Concubine Zhou's safety, and found another boat to follow Concubine Zhou's boat, but she suddenly walked into the whirlpool.

Gu Concubine's original intention was to say bad things about He Angelica to Meng Xuan, so that Meng Xuan was cold to He Angelica and came to be good with her, so the meaning of the words was clear, and the facts were basically fabricated - He Angelica pointed out a black road for Concubine Zhou to take, wanting to put them to death.

Meng Xuan naturally didn't believe it after hearing it at the time, and felt that He Angelica had nothing to do with Concubine Zhou's eight poles, and he was also kind by nature, how could he do such a thing? But now, in connection with the situation in front of her, and also in connection with the noon encounter with He Angelica, she stood on the edge of the bookstall and held a copy of "Notes on the Book of Water" in her hand...... The more Meng Xuan thought about it, the more blocked she became, and she was suspicious of He Angelica, and she didn't understand what her motive was for doing this. Before he rescued Gu Concubine from the water, He Angelica didn't know that Gu Concubine was Aunt Meng, even if he knew about it, he had no entanglement with Gu Concubine, so he wouldn't go to the step of killing.

Zhu Quan walked over to look at the list and exchanged glances with Sima Mingyue, both of them full of confusion. They all recognized that the handwriting belonged to Zhu Quan himself. And Zhu Quan obviously doesn't remember writing such a thing. A careful study of the font shows that it is not an imitation of the handwriting, or his own handwriting, which is not bad at all.

He wrote a list of deaths in his handwriting, put it on an orc, and killed many of his concubines. What's the mystery behind this? Zhu Quan really couldn't think of it.

At this time, one of Duan Xiaolou's subordinates couldn't help but remind: "General, there is another letter, maybe it is a letter exchanged between thieves, why not open the letter and circulate it to King Ning and them, it will also help solve the case." Well? What about the letter? ”
