Chapter 609: Zong You is dead
Li Jingmo paused, glanced at Ah Zhu, but his expression was as calm as ever.
"It's my son-in-law, right?"
Ah Zhu hurriedly said, "Nonsense, the blood stains on Lin Gongzi's body were carefully wiped off by us little by little. There is also wind in the house, how can there be a smell of blood?"
Li Jingmo said, "That's if you smell it wrong."
Ah Zhu rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to say anything more.
Li Jingmo walked to the bedside, checked Ying Qi's pulse, and asked Ah Zhu to come to the prescription to take a look.
Ah Zhu thought this guard was really strange, but he stared at him for a long time, and he didn't see anything wrong.
Li Jingmo stayed here in Ying Qi until it was about to dawn before leaving, and when he returned to the main courtyard, he heard that someone had already come to the old lady's side, and he also planned to punish Zong You severely.
But not long after he lay down, he heard a group of guards hurrying into the Liuyue Palace.
Li Jingmo listened attentively, and the other party's voice was shocked and angry: "The Seventh Young Master was assassinated."
Ji Wanniang's voice was higher: "Assassination? Did the murderer catch him?"
The guard's voice lowered.
It's just that the murderer can't be found, and there are no clues, so I found the Liuyue Palace.
Ji Wanniang sneered, "What? Suspicion is our hand? The young master is still lying on the bed now, and I have never left the Liuyue Palace, but you tell me, how should I assassinate Zong You?"
The other party cowered and didn't speak, Li Jingmo turned sideways, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After Zhao Fuling soaked in the medicinal bath, she woke up quickly.
After her eyes returned to clarity, she turned her head to look at Ji Wanniang for the first time.
Ji Wanniang clasped her arms with her hands, stood beside the bed with an ugly face and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, Zong You is dead."
Zhao Fuling was stunned for a moment and said, "Dead?"
"Yes." Ji Wanniang said, "I just went to see the corpse with the guards, and it was blocked by a sharp blade. At that time, there were guards outside the house, and I didn't know how the other party got in, so Zong You didn't even have a chance to resist."
When Ji Wanniang said this, she took a deep breath and came to a conclusion: "It's a master."
Zhao Fuling frowned and didn't speak, but Li Jingmo's face flashed in her mind for the first time.
The strength of those dragon heads in the Half Moon Hall is not very clear, but among the people she knows, only Li Jingmo has the ability to quietly take the other party's life.
Ji Wanniang said, "The old lady was very angry and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter."
Zhao Fuling nodded, propped up the bed and sat up before saying, "It's to be thoroughly investigated, if the murderer can't be found, I'm afraid this basin of dirty water will be splashed on us."
Ji Wanniang knew Zhao Fuling, and she kept lying in bed and didn't go out.
The entire Liuyue Palace was in the courtyard last night, and there was no suspicion.
The only person who made her suspicious was Shen Chi, who did not show up.
Ji Wanniang simply asked directly about Shen Chi's whereabouts: "Young master, that pool guard in your courtyard, his subordinates only saw him once yesterday, and he has never seen him again. He didn't show up for such a big incident that happened to you last night, I don't know?"
Zhao Fuling leaned on the side of the bed and said, "I told him to go down the mountain, and he has some personal matters to do."
"Going down the mountain for personal business?" Ji Wanniang looked at Zhao Fuling's face and suddenly thought of Li Jingmo.
She hesitated for a moment before she said, "Something to do with the Seventh Prince?"
Zhao Fuling looked at her and nodded, "Yes."
Ji Wanniang's hand hanging down her side instantly clenched, and she felt a little ready to go.
Zhao Fuling said: "I know the purpose of your return from this trip, to leave Lin Gongzi and them on the ship, also because they came from the north and are closer to the image and temperament of the Seven Princes."
Ji Wanniang's eyes shrank, but she didn't speak.
Zhao Fuling continued, "But you and Lin Gongzi do have a fate, it's better to cherish the people in front of you first, regardless of the others."
Ji Wanniang didn't expect that the topic could be turned to her.
Seeing that Zhao Fuling just looked at him left and right, he didn't
Telling where Shen Chi went, she pursed her lips extremely tightly.
Zhao Fuling is the master, she can't commit the next crime, but it's completely okay to arrange someone to investigate by herself.
Ji Wanniang didn't say anything more, and when she saw that Zhao Fuling was going to wash, she turned around and went out.
Back in the side yard, Ying Qi had also woken up and was chattering with Ah Zhu.
Ah Zhu had already heard about Zong You's killing, and after seeing Ji Wanniang's figure, he immediately wanted to tell the other party about the smell of blood from Li Jingmo's body.
Unexpectedly, Ji Wanniang opened her mouth first: "Ah Zhu, you take someone to the next mountain to find out where the pool guard in the young master's courtyard went?"
Ah Zhu was stunned and asked curiously, "What are you doing with the pool guard? The young master is looking for him?"
Ji Wanniang shook her head: "He went down the mountain to meet with the Seventh Prince, you go to find out where they are." If you find his prince, don't startle the snake, and be the first to spread the news to me."
Ah Zhu hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Yes."
After this experience, she had forgotten about the smell of blood, and hurriedly turned around and went out to get busy.
Ji Wanniang looked at Ying Qi who was lying on the bed, the other party seemed to be a little stunned, and after coming back to her senses, she looked at her with blank eyes, as if she was ashamed and like a weak heart.
Ji Wanniang sat down across the bed and asked, "Why did you run to Zong You's courtyard?"
Ying Qi hurriedly explained, "I didn't go to his yard, I just walked around the small garden outside. Later, I ran into him, and I didn't have a conflict with him, so I turned around and went back."
"Unexpectedly, he sent someone to arrest me, and said that I stole some of his glass lamps."
When Ying Qi said this, he was angry: "I haven't seen anything good, I need to steal his glass lamp?"
has followed Li Jingmo for many years, and all the treasures and wonders in the world have passed under his eyes, but he is a rough man and doesn't care about them.
If it is said to be knowledge, it must be much stronger than the young masters of the Zong family.
Ji Wanniang knows this.
The glass lamp is just an excuse, Zong You deducted Ying Qi privately, just for those bad things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds.
But now that the person is dead, there is no point in pursuing anything.
"Lin Chuan." Ji Wanniang looked at Ying Qi with a sharp gaze, "I'll ask you one last time, are you the son of the Lin family?"
Ying Qi choked, then looked at Ji Wanniang and said weakly, "Why do you keep doubting me?"
Ji Wanniang closed her eyes, opened them again, and said, "Zong You's death is very important. Even if the old lady doesn't want to see him, he is also a young master in Zhuangzi. There are many leaders in the Half Moon Hall, and they still support him in private. The old lady will definitely not let go of this matter easily."
Ying Qi hurriedly said, "But I didn't kill him. If I had this ability, I wouldn't have been beaten so badly."
"I know." Ji Wanniang's expression softened, "I just want to make sure if you are involved in this matter. If not, when the old lady is angry with you, I will help you bear it."
Ying Qi immediately assured: "I really didn't get involved, I still think about going to trouble him when my injuries are healed."
