Chapter Thirty-Nine: Murder and Goods
Liang Yi shook his head and sighed: "No trace of others was found. ”
When the three of them were worried, Liang Caicai's door was opened, and the maid came out to report: "Miss is awake." ”
Ye Sili hurriedly entered the house, only to see Liang Caicai lying flat on the bed, her eyes distracted, and tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Cai ......" Ye Sili stopped his mouth, motioned for the maid to go out, and then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down softly, stretched out his hand to hold Liang Caicai's hand that couldn't stop trembling, and said softly:
"If you want to cry, cry out."
The person lying on the bed did not react in the slightest, only looked at the top of the bed in distraction.
Ye Sili touched her hand like this and stayed with her.
Although Liang Caicai is usually annoying, but looking at her like this at this time, Ye Sili felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Ye Sili's wind and cold did not heal, and he sent Lian Xia back to the mansion, no one took care of her at this time, Gu Liwu did not allow her to stay up all night with her, and finally persuaded Ye Sili to return to Yugong Mansion at the time of the year.
Back at Yugong Mansion, Ye Sili saw Jian Xia and Yuan Mu standing outside the Yusheng Courtyard waiting for her.
Seeing Ye Sili and Gu Liwu returning home, the two immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Motoki, why are you here? What about the Nine Winds? Ye Sili looked around.
"Back to the county lord, my son-in-law ...... He and the five princesses ...... They ......" Yuan Mu replied hesitantly, trying to phrase to help Mu Jiufeng cover up.
When Gu Li heard that something had happened to the two, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with them?" ”
"Yesterday...... They ......"
Finally, Lian Xia on the side couldn't listen anymore, and replied loudly:
"Yesterday, the fifth princess sneaked out of the palace to find the prince of the nine winds, and the two accidentally fell when they went out to play, and the nine princesses and the five princesses were injured, and they were in the courtyard at this time."
"Hurt?" Ye Sili was startled, and without waiting for Lian Xia to answer, he saw Mu Jiufeng limping out.
Seeing that Ye Sili and Gu Liwu had returned, Mu Jiufeng was ecstatic as if he had seen his relatives, and rushed towards the two of them with open arms despite the injury on his leg.
Gu Liwu stepped forward to protect Ye Sili behind him, and reached out to stop Mu Jiufeng with a look of disgust.
"Leaving worry, isn't it worth celebrating if I don't die?" Mu Jiufeng stared at Gu Liwu with resentment.
Gu Liwu pushed Mu Jiufeng away, looked him up and down, his eyes fell on Mu Jiufeng's injured right foot, and he sneered unceremoniously:
"This is what you call the Great Tribulation?"
“…… Just think of this as the honor of this son's hero to save the beauty. Mu Jiufeng let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand, left and right, and pulled Gu Liwu and Ye Sili into the guest room of Yusheng Courtyard.
Xiao Ling was half-lying on the bed, gritting his teeth and staring at Mu Jiufeng who entered the house, and when he saw that Ye Sili was also back, he immediately cried to Ye Sili:
"Si Li, leave the worries, you are finally back."
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Ling's eyes immediately moistened.
Ye Sili noticed that Xiao Ling's left foot was exposed outside the quilt, Xu had just taken the medicine, Ye Sili stepped forward and rolled up Xiao Ling's trouser leg to take a look, his ankles were red and swollen, "You say slowly, what happened?" ”
"Mu Jiufeng, he bullied me...... Yes! Xiao Ling suddenly shrank his feet, and tears fell instantly.
“???”
“???”
Ye Sili and Gu Liwu turned their heads to stare at Mu Jiufeng who was sitting in the chair.
"Mu Jiufeng, what did you do with her?" Gu Liwu asked in shock.
Hearing this, Mu Jiufeng suddenly rose up, jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash away his grievances, and shook his hand in a panic.
"It's not...... I didn't...... Don't listen to her. ”
Ye Sili naturally made the decision for Xiao Ling: "Look at what Xiao Ling is crying into, you quickly explain clearly." ”
Seeing Ye Sili and Gu Liwu questioning, Mu Jiufeng was so anxious that he limped to Xiao Ling's bed and said, "They don't believe me, you quickly explain to them." ”
Ye Sili stepped forward to block Xiao Ling.
"You stay away from Xiaoling, don't scare her."
“???” Mu Jiufeng looked at Gu Liwu with a wronged expression, only to see Gu Liwu gloating and looking away.
"Xiaoling, don't be afraid, if Jiufeng bullies you, Ah Wei and I will definitely ask for an explanation for you."
Xiao Ling's tears fell from his eyes, and he sobbed:
"Si Li...... You're just ...... Crushing my feet...... It hurts......"
“…… Yes? Ye Sili looked down at Xiao Ling's injured left foot, and hurriedly raised his hand.
Ye Sili realized it later: "It turns out that you were crying in pain? ”
"Not so." Mu Jiufeng stood aside and said angrily: "My son is acting upright, and you don't even have the least trust in me. ”
Ye Sili smiled awkwardly, got up and walked to Mu Jiufeng's side to apologize: "How can we not believe you, Fang Cai's misunderstanding is completely mine...... The wind chill has not healed, the brain is not very clear, ouch, headache. ”
As he spoke, Ye Sili touched his head and acted, not forgetting to look at Mu Jiufeng to see if he was discouraged.
"That's it, I'm such a stingy person." Mu Jiufeng stretched out his hand and put down the handsail that Ye Sili had raised, "It's just that you don't misunderstand." ”
"What happened?" Gu Liwu went to the front and preached the truth.
Mu Jiufeng recalled yesterday's events and felt angry.
"I stayed in the house during this time, and finally the second elder went out for a walk yesterday, so I slipped out, and I happened to meet the little spirit who slipped out of the palace."
"In order to avoid the eyeliner of both of our families, we unanimously decided to go to the mountains to play."
"Coincidentally, we went to Tianyao Mountain, and met Yu Wangye, so I played a few games of chess with him, and I accidentally forgot the time."
Gu Li's sorrow is too late to regret it:
"Considering Xiaoling's identity, it was inconvenient for us to stay outside, so we went down the mountain overnight."
"Hell knows, it rained heavily last night."
Gu Liwu became excited as he spoke.
"What season is it? December! I actually felt a storm in Layue! ”
"The two of us were trapped halfway up the mountain, so we had to find a cave to hide from the rain."
"Who knew that we accidentally ran into a murderous business."
Mu Jiufeng was very speechless and said: "It seems that the second elder in the family is right, I really shouldn't go out of the house recently." ”
Can you bump into this file of killing people and overselling goods?
Ye Sili asked in surprise, "You were almost killed?" ”
Mu Jiufeng "cut" disdainfully, "I naturally beat them to the ground." ”
"......" Ye Sili looked down at Mu Jiufeng's feet, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Ling's appearance, why didn't she believe it?
Xiao Ling's pain was relieved a lot, wiped away his tears, and said:
"Just know bragging."
"There were about seven or eight people on the other side, all of whom were masked and black, and Jiufeng had the upper hand, but in the end, in order to protect me, the two of us accidentally fell into the cave and sprained our feet."
Hearing this, Gu Liwu grasped the key point and asked, "Do you know the people they killed?" ”
Xiao Ling shook his head, and said helplessly: "We didn't see it at all, but we met in the middle of the night and bumped into a head-on ......."
"It's good that they didn't scare you to death." Ye Sili said in fear.
No, where did they go? Tianyao Mountain? Last night? Hillside? Men in Black? Assassinate?
"Have you seen Lord Liang?"
"Have you seen Lord Liang?"
Ye Sili and Gu Liwu asked at the same time.
"Which Liang-sama?" Xiao Ling looked at them suspiciously.
"Liang Hai, the secretary of the Criminal Department." Gu Li replied.
"Didn't see it, he also went to Tianyao Mountain?"
Gu Liwu nodded, and seeing that Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling's reactions should be that they didn't know what was going on, so they explained the matter to the two of them in a long story short.
"Dare to murder the imperial court." Xiao Ling was shocked.
Ye Sili thought of Liang Caicai's situation and asked: "So, the group of people you bumped into yesterday are very likely to be the murderers of Lord Liang, think about it, what are the signs of those people in black, such as waist cards?" ”
"Wordless waist card?" Mu Jiufeng said.
Gu Liwu immediately replied: "Exactly, can you see clearly?" ”
"Naturally. Each of them had a piece around their waists, and I wondered what kind of organization would use a wordless waist card. ”
"Sure enough." Ye Sili couldn't guess what kind of hatred and hatred he had to intimidate Liang Caicai one after another, and now he hurt Liang Hai.
Xiao Ling yawned, she was trapped in the cave last night, and finally escaped and went straight to the Yugong Mansion, at this time she was extremely tired.
"Si Li, I was supposed to sneak out, but now that I'm injured, I don't dare to go back to the palace." Xiao Ling stared at Ye Sili with blank eyes.
"This is easy to do, you will live in Yugong Mansion during this time, and I will send someone to give a message to the people of Qianling Palace."
Mu Jiufeng immediately blinked and looked at Gu Liwu, "Liwu, I ...... too"
"I'll send someone to prepare a carriage for you."
Xiao Ling laughed out loud, and Mu Jiufeng gave her a look and immediately smiled.
Early the next morning, due to the recent events, Ye Sili couldn't rest assured, so she asked Du Chun to pick up Ye Zhongyao back to the house, and she and Gu Liwu also went to the Liang Mansion in the morning.
After the heavy rain the day before, the weather has been much better in the past two days.
In the Yusheng Courtyard, Qingluo was boiling water to make tea, and Xiao Ling was lying on a chair, looking at the clouds in the sky boredly, watching them move with the wind, going farther and farther.
"Princess, tea, please." Qingluo handed over the brewed tea.
Xiao Ling took it, sniffed it, took a sip, suddenly put down the teacup and got up and said:
"It's so boring, I'll go out for a walk."
Qingluo hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, the county lord and the prince specially explained to let you live and recuperate. ”
"I know, don't worry, I'm not here to make trouble for them, I'm just bored and want to go out and have a look." Xiao Ling felt that his ankle still hurt when he stood up, so he gave way:
"Well, I'll always be able to go out in a carriage, right?"
Seeing that Xiao Ling was relieved, Qingluo had no choice but to agree, so he drove the carriage to take Xiao Ling out of the house.
The situation the night before was too scary, this was the first time she had encountered such a fierce fight, and although she had also met Si Li and Chu Qing that time, she was so drunk that she couldn't even remember how she returned to the Yugong Mansion in the end.
Having said that, she never thought that Mu Jiufeng would give up her usual unobtrusive behavior, but she could protect her at a critical moment.
