Chapter 40: Sleep Safely
Pei Daozhu looked at the embarrassed and crazy murderer.
- Every day and every night, I am watching you, goddess!
The contents of the blood book clearly appear in front of you.
How can a person who takes pleasure in peeping at her be willing to say that he will disappear when he disappears?
The only possibility is to hide by her side, somewhere where it is easier to peep at her.
And in the entire Jinliang Garden, there is no more suitable place than Xiaoxiang Garden.
She explained it simply.
Xiao Heng instructed: "Drag him down and wait for interrogation." β
The guards were about to make a move, but the murderer suddenly used all his strength to break away from them, and rushed to Pei Daozhu's side regardless of it, hugged her legs, and shouted loudly: "Goddess! β
The sudden situation made everyone in the boudoir stunned.
Pei Daozhu exclaimed.
Without waiting for others to react, she quickly pulled out the wooden hairpin, as if saving herself, and plunged straight into the murderer's neck!
Beads of blood splattered.
The warm blood sprinkled on the girl's white skin also stained the corners of her dark blue sleeves.
A chill quickly crossed her eyes.
Immediately, with a look of delicate fear on her face, she gasped softly, let go of her hand in disbelief, and slowly took two steps back until she collapsed and fell to the ground.
Two lines of clear tears rolled down the snow-white cheeks.
She looked at Lu Ji helplessly: "Second brother Lu...... I...... I killed someone......"
Lu Ji took pity on her.
He hurriedly squatted beside her, took off the cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders, took her into his arms, prevented her from seeing those bloody scenes, and comforted her softly: "Sister Daozhu is for self-preservation, not to mention that this murderer deserves to die, it's okay, it's okay......"
Pei Daozhu buried his head in his arms, only sobbing pitifully.
The murderer's eyes widened in astonishment.
seems to have never thought that Pei Daozhu would make such a ruthless move.
He opened his mouth.
Blood poured down his throat, staining his teeth and jaw red.
The whites of his eyes were densely bloodshot, staring at Pei Daozhu, and he said in a dumb voice: "It's not over...... The grievances of the past are not over yet. Unless all the ten families are destroyed, there will be girls who will die. Goddess, goddess, I can't bear to die for you......"
He was obsessed.
until there is no more breathing.
Xiao Heng squatted down on one knee in front of the murderer.
He reached out and rubbed the murderer's face for a long time before he found traces of a human skin mask on the edge of his ear.
He said: "He is the murderer, and the case of the faceless corpse in the garden pond can be closed." β
Someone died in the boudoir, and it was bad luck in the end.
Xiao Heng ordered Pei Daozhu to clean up a boudoir again.
Lu Ji saw that Pei Daozhu was still crying, so he took her to the hall to eat hot tea, so that she could ease her emotions.
Xiao Heng led people to clean up the mess, and his eyes suddenly fell on the wooden hairpin.
He pulled the hairpin out of the corpse.
The style of the wooden hairpin is ordinary, and unusually, one end is cut extremely sharp.
Sharp enough to be easily inserted into the throat.
He played with the bloody wooden hairpin, and suddenly smacked.
β¦β¦
Hall.
Pei Daozhu still buried his head in Lu Ji's arms.
Lu Ji gently stroked her thin shoulders and comforted her softly: "The murderer is dead, Sister Daozhu can sit back and relax in the future, and no one will harm you again." β
Pei Daozhu sobbed: "I am a weak woman, how have I ever seen such a strong wind and waves." The experience of the past two days is still scary when I think about it. Second Brother Lu, in the future, will you protect me? β
Lu Ji said seriously: "I have studied literature since I was a child, and compared with Xuan Ce, my skills are not only a star and a half behind. So when it comes to protection, Xuan Ce is more reliable than me. Don't worry, I will ask Xuan Ce to increase the number of patrolling guards in Jinliang Garden, and in the future, I will definitely protect you to sleep safely. β
Bae Do-joo was silent.
Second Brother Lu was so naΓ―ve that he couldn't hear that she was teasing him.
She wanted to say something more, and Xiao Heng walked in.
He glanced at the two of them who were intimate, and said lightly: "It's late at night, Ziji, it's inconvenient for you to stay here, go back first, I still have something to ask her." β
Lu Ji nodded and took his leave.
Xiao Hengping retired from the guards and maids in the hall.
He sat down opposite Pei Daozhu, put the bloody wooden hairpin on the desk, and pushed it to her hand.
Pei Daozhu raised his eyebrows: "What does Uncle Nine mean?" β
Xiao Heng sneered: "Good calculation." β
Pei Daozhu pinched his handkerchief: "I don't understand." β
Xiao Heng said: "The murderer is watching you, and he also knows that you poisoned Cui Lingren." You are afraid that during the interrogation, the murderer will reveal what you have done, so prepare this wooden hairpin in advance, so as to extinguish his mouth at a critical moment. Pei Daozhu, in the world, what else do you dare not do? β
Pei Daozhu still had tears on her cheeks.
The red and delicate lips bent as if they were nothing.
She broke the wooden hairpin in two and threw it into the incense burner, and said softly: "I can't understand what Uncle Nine said. β
"Alright." Xiao Heng couldn't get used to her pretentiousness, "Lu Ji is not here, what are you pretending?" β
Pei Daozhu smiled, remembered something, frowned, and said: "Before he died, the murderer said, 'The grievances of the past are not over yet. Unless all the ten families are destroyed, there will be girls who will die. 'What do you mean by the grievances of the past?' What does the Flower God Cult have to do with the Ten Great Families, and why do they all want to be destroyed? β
There are many families in the southern country.
Among them, the ten families headed by the Xiao family, the Cui family, and the Xie family are the most prominent.
Together with the royal family, they ruled the court and controlled the military and financial power of the entire country.
With the development of these years, there is even a faint tendency to override the royal family.
The two fell into deep thought.
However, they were all young and did not know about the past grievances of the Ten Great Families.
Seeing that he couldn't think of a clue, it was very late again, and Pei Daozhu was going to send Xiao Heng out.
The spring night is lonely, and the shadows of the flowers are swaying.
In front of the small courtyard, Xiao Heng suddenly turned to look at her: "When we first met, you kept saying that you admired me." I wasn't impressed at first, but now you can try again. β
Pei Daozhu bent his eyebrows and said softly: "Uncle Nine once said that beauties are just 'painting urns to hold dung', and a girl like me is only worthy of being a high-level plaything." I'm not even a plaything to you. Can't Uncle Nine forget these words? β
Xiao Heng was silent.
Pei Daozhu gave a salute and decisively closed the small gate of the fence.
She returned to her newly furnished boudoir, freshened up, and sat down at the vanity table.
Although he scolded Xiao Xuance fiercely, he didn't feel relieved.
She was also a master of playing with feelings, and she knew very well that that guy was not a prodigal son, nor did he really like her, and all his overtures were just means to hunt her.
But she Pei Daozhu, how could she ever be someone else's prey in the love field?
The corners of the girl's eyebrows and eyes showed a faint sense of aggression, obviously disdainful of Xiao Heng's methods.
Pillow Star came in with a copper goose incense burner, and said happily: "The slave asked the steward for a soothing incense, and the girl can sleep peacefully tonight!" I heard that this soothing incense was bought by the ninth master in the East China Sea, and it is precious! The ninth master has traveled around the county over the years and brought a lot of good things back! β
Pei Daozhu remembered something, and asked while combing his hair: "Wasn't he in Jiankang two years ago?" β
Pillow Star was puzzled: "The ninth master left Jiankang at the age of sixteen to go out to study, and he was only recruited back by the Son of Heaven this year. Why did the girl ask about this? β
Pei Daozhu clenched the mahogany comb.
Could it be that she met Brother Xuan Ce two years ago......
It's not Xiao Heng at all?
