Chapter 53: Shadow Puppetry

"I don't know when Xia Ti's punishment will come."

After Pei Wuyi finished speaking, he looked back and forth at Yu Qingfeng and Lin Ming.

In the mansion, the four of them had already shared clue information - Xia Feitao was most likely a descendant of his master twenty years ago.

The four of them also reached a consensus that this matter should be concealed from Ding Xiyao, otherwise this revengeful woman would not care about any laws, nor would she wait for her father's ghost to take revenge, and she would kill the enemy on the spot.

"I guess I'm on the way, and I'll be there by the night after tomorrow." Yu Qingfeng rolled her eyes.

"The news of Xiuzhi's failure released from Du Mansion can really be so fast? As far as I know, Hati was originally sentenced to be in Suju, which is a day's journey from Jeju. Pei Wuyi asked Lin Ming.

Lin Ming replied confidently: "Xia Ti has been an official for many years, don't underestimate his intelligence network." In my opinion, Lord Xia will only be early, never late. ”

"Xia Ti Punishment?" Ding Xiyao's face was full of question marks, "There are still officials who are coming?" ”

"Miss Ding, Xia Ti is the chief judge of Zhou Lang's case, and the Lord Du just now is the deputy trial." Lin Ming explained to Ding Xiyao.

"It's not okay to have a Du-sama? Mention the criminal officer, the official is quite big, right? ”

Pei Wuxian smiled bitterly, "I didn't invite him to come, but I guess he will definitely come to stop me from overturning his previous assertions." As for the ranks, we are just as big. ”

"Those of you who are officials, when the time comes, you will only lose both, and the murderer who killed Zhou Lang is not Lou Anyi as determined by Xia Tixing, nor is it someone else you identify, it is my father's ghost. You are working in vain. ”

Yu Qingfeng said with a smile: "Why are you busy in vain? If it weren't for us, where would you find so many people to help you dig a hole again? ”

Ding Xiyao clasped her fists at Yu Qingfeng and the others, "Thank you." But there is one thing I need to declare beforehand. ”

Pei Wunu couldn't hold back a smile, "Do you want to say that after entering the thief cave, we will bear the consequences of our safety?" ”

"Yes, my dad may still not have five senses, not to mention that he can't tell if you are friend or foe, maybe even I can't recognize you. There is no guarantee of our safety. But I was willing to take the risk to see my father. You are different, and I advise you to be cautious. ”

Yu Qingfeng exchanged glances with Pei Wuyi and Lin Ming left and right.

"Of course, it's also possible that my dad has managed to get the head of an animal, and his senses have recovered except that he can't speak. If so, I will tell him where you come from and who you are, and he will not harm you. ”

The three of them nodded at Ding Xiyao together, saying that no matter what the situation, they would bear the consequences.

Cumulus Valley is located in the northern part of Pingchuan County, which is located in the north of Pingchuan County, and is a very low-lying canyon, and the nights in late autumn are even colder.

At the entrance of the cave of the Guillotine Robbery Cave, six tents of various sizes were stationed, the largest two of which were for the craftsmen to take turns to rest and keep out the cold, and the remaining four were assigned to officials.

When approaching Hai, Lian Shurong and Lin Ming took the guards of Dali Temple to patrol around the guillotine mound, wanting to confirm from the outside that the ghost mound indeed had no other entrances and exits.

Only Yu Qingfeng, Pei Wuyi and Ding Xiyao were left in the tent.

Yu Qingfeng opened the curtain of the tent from time to time to look out, causing the cold wind to blow in constantly.

Looking back, Pei Wuyi was wearing a cloak.

"I'm sorry, I'll go get some charcoal again." Yu Qingfeng stuck out her tongue and walked out of the tent.

After a while, Yu Qingfeng's voice came into the tent from outside.

"The charcoal fire is quite heavy."

Pei Wuyi and Ding Xiyao looked across the tent, followed the direction of the sound, and sure enough, they saw Yu Qingfeng holding something.

"Ah, a piece is missing." Yu Qingfeng said, squatting down.

"Who, who's where?" Yu Qingfeng exclaimed and hurriedly stood up.

Pei Wuyi and Ding Xiyao in the tent also hurriedly got up when they heard this.

But before they could take the first step, they only heard Yu Qingfeng screaming outside the tent.

In an instant, Yu Qingfeng's head was cut off and rolled to the ground, and only a headless figure that was still standing was projected on the tent.

All this happened too quickly, but it was clear enough, like a shadow puppet show, Yu Qingfeng's head did fall to the ground in an instant.

They could even hear the sound of something hitting the ground, rolling a few times and stopping.

Ding Xiyao gasped and looked at the projection on the tent in disbelief, the figure that was motionless and still upright.

Stunned for a moment, Ding Xiyao grabbed the saber on the table and ran out of the tent.

"Yu Qingfeng?" As soon as Ding Xiyao stepped out of the tent, she saw Yu Qingfeng.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qingfeng stood outside the tent in a daze, looking inexplicable.

"I saw ...... just now"

"See what?"

Pei Wuxian walked out slowly, stood behind Ding Xiyao, and glared at Yu Qingfeng coldly.

Yu Qingfeng glanced at Pei Wuyi and complained, "I thought you would be the first to run out." ”

"I'm not Lin Ming, I can't see through your tricks, and I pretend not to see through it, seize the opportunity to show concern and move you."

After Pei Wuyi finished speaking, he returned to the tent.

Yu Qingfeng was stunned, Lin Ming was pretending? He'd already seen through her head-turning?

Perhaps, Lin Ming has long seen through the troupe's guillotine trick, and the reason why she doesn't say it is so that she can enjoy the sense of accomplishment of revealing the secret to others?

Lin Ming is so smart, so tea?

"Tricks?" Ding Xiyao suddenly realized and blamed, "Are you playing tricks again?" What's not good, you want to scare me to death! ”

Yu Qingfeng hurriedly picked up a burden that had fallen not far away, and pulled Ding Xiyao into the tent.

The baggage was filled with the charcoal fire that Yu Qingfeng had just gone to fetch.

Yu Qingfeng muttered while adding the charcoal fire to the stove: "It's really worthy of being the male protagonist, I know everything, it's just God's perspective, this is obviously cheating." ”

"What are you muttering?" Pei Wuyi frowned and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that you've seen through the trick and I'm not very happy. I said, Master Pei, is it difficult for you to make a living in the drama troupe before you are promoted and make a fortune? ”

Yu Qingfeng is not happy, so her mouth can't be idle.

Pei Wuyi snorted coldly, not stubble.

"Ahh Yu Qingfeng suddenly, "In the entire Dayong Dynasty, there is a troupe that can perform the trick of decapitation, and if you are asked to go to see it, you are not afraid of the embarrassment of meeting the people you worked with before?" Are you afraid that they will ask you for help or borrow money? ”

Pei Wuxian squinted and glared at Yu Qingfeng, not stubble, not cooperating with Yu Qingfeng's jokes.

"Miss Yu, tell me quickly, how did you do it?" Ding Xiyao urged.

"Let's not talk about how I did it, but why I did this trick for you."

"Why?" After Ding Xiyao finished asking, she realized in hindsight, "Do you want to convince me, seeing may not be believing, even if you see a ghost, it must be someone who is playing tricks and pretending to be a ghost?" ”

"Almost, to be precise, I want you to know that people can disguise themselves as guillotines in an instant, just like I just did. Lou Anyi's confession said that he also saw the guillotine before he fell unconscious, and it is likely that he saw the real murderer, and the murderer disguised himself as your father's ghost. ”

Ding Xiyao disagreed, waved her hand and shook her head, not accepting Yu Qingfeng's statement at all.
