But he said that Lu Wenzheng learned from Zhao Renyi, the housekeeper of the Jinling Palace, that the county lord and Ling Yun had been killed, and he almost didn't believe his ears, so he couldn't help but ask again: "What?" ”

Zhao Renyi cried: "They are all dead!" ……”

Lu Wenzheng only felt that everything in front of him was shaking, his body was shaking, and he was about to fall, thanks to Xu Zhi on the side who supported him.

Xu Zhi said in a trembling voice: "How are you ...... Aware? ”

Zhao Renyi said angrily: "This morning they sent the corpse capital!" ……”

Xu Zhidao: "Who are the people who sent the corpse?" ”

Zhao Renyi said: "I don't know. As soon as they got out of the car and left. Zhao Wei and Zhao Yang and I took off the tarpaulin and took a look, it was actually two white wooden coffins, and inside the coffins were ......" He whimpered, unable to speak.

Lu Wenzheng beat his spirits and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, can Weichen see the body of Commander Ling and the jade coffin of the county lord?" ”

The prince of Jinling sighed and said: "Lord Lu and Commander Ling are like father and son, and they have worked together again, and now that Commander Ling is killed, Lord Lu should mourn." As for the little girl...... This king thinks that this is not necessary, right? ”

The voice of the prince of Jinling was hoarse, and his tone of voice was full of grief and resentment.

Lu Wenzheng's heart is like a knife. But at this time, he still had a one-ten-thousandth luck in his heart, looking forward to the corpse in the coffin not being Ling Yun and the county lord's.

He thought: Maybe this is the enemy's plan to discord.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper Zhao Renyi, Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi saw the white wooden coffin.

The coffin had been carried to a side hall. As soon as I opened the door of the side hall, a pungent smell of blood and rancid stench rushed to my nose.

Zhao Renyi frowned and hid a few feet away, pinching his nose and just shaking his head and sighing.

Lu Wenzheng was supported by Xu Zhi, and walked tremblingly to the white wooden coffin.

Lu Wenzheng's face was pale, his hands trembled, and he wanted to lift the lid of the coffin.

Xu Zhi hurriedly stopped and said dumbly: "Adult, let's let the students come!" ”

As he spoke, he took a long breath, pressed Bubu's beating heart with his hand, and moved the lid of the coffin little by little with trembling hands.

The two settled down and looked into the coffin together.

The scene presented in front of me was simply horrific. The corpse lying inside was bleeding, the flesh was blurred, and the face was unrecognizable; But from his body shape and clothing, it can be concluded that the deceased is Ling Yun.

Lu Wenzheng didn't want to believe it. Suddenly he remembered something else, and with trembling hands tore the clothes from the deceased's left arm.

The dark red unicorn birthmark on his left arm was suddenly visible!

Lu Wenzheng only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and his heart hurt as if he was being twisted by a knife, and he couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood, and the person had collapsed to the ground.

He couldn't help but cry bitterly, "Commander Ling, how can you go like this!" ……”

Lu Wenzheng thought about it, and the past was repeated, as if it was yesterday. The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he couldn't help but die.

Xu Zhi wanted to come over and persuade a few words, but before he could say anything, he had already shed tears.

He whimpered for a long time before he said in a voiced voice: "My lord, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change." What we need to do now is: find a way to find out the whole story of this case, and avenge the grievances of Commander Ling and the county lord! ”

Lu Wenzheng wiped his tears and said dumbly: "Mr. Xu, who do you say will be the one who killed Commander Ling and the county lord?" ”

Xu Zhidao: "Nine times out of ten, they are people from the Heavenly Owl Organization. As long as we start from this white wooden coffin, we will definitely be able to find the real culprit and avenge the grievances of Commander Ling and the county lord. ”

Lu Wenzheng smiled bitterly and said in frustration: "I'm afraid there won't be such a chance again!" ”

Xu Zhi remembered that Lu Wenzheng had vouched for his life in front of the emperor in front of the prince of Jinling, He Yuting, Ding Jinzhi and other important ministers of the court: if the county lord cannot be found within ten days, he should be offered the first item; Now that the lord of Huanyu is dead, his sin can be described as great.

And the county lord of Huanyu is the pearl of the prince of Jinling, the emperor's favorite royal sister, and now that the county lord is dead, the turmoil and movement caused in the court will not be small. The prince of Jinling will not give up; What's even worse is that under the emperor's anger, he may really kill Lord Lu!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel disheartened, and his face was gloomy; But he still cheered up and comforted Lu Wenzheng, "My lord, I won't ...... it."

Zhao Renyi saw that Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi were grief-stricken, and he felt sideways in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Lu, is the coffin of Commander Ling going to be brought back to the mansion?" ”

Lu Wenzheng looked at Xu Zhi and nodded weakly.

Lu Wenzheng's face was pale at the moment, he barely supported his body, supported by Xu Zhi, and trembled to see the prince of Jinling.

When the prince of Jinling saw Lu Wenzheng again, he felt that he had suddenly aged a lot in one day; I couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for the same disease in my heart, and thought to myself: Huanyu's death was from me, Lingyun's death from Lu Wenzheng, and their blows were equally fatal!

Lu Wenzheng bowed down at the prince of Jinling, and said bitterly: "Lord, the minister is incompetent, he can't keep the county lord, and he can't escape the blame for his death." It's just that now the real murderer has not been found, and the thieves of the Tianxiao organization are still at large......"

The prince of Jinling said: "Is it the people of the Tianxiao Organization who killed the county lord?" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "Nine times out of ten, it needs to be further verified." Therefore, Weichen dared to beg the prince to be lenient for a few more days, temporarily send the minister's head above the minister's neck, and wait for the capture of the real murderer, after avenging the county lord, and then let the prince fall! ”

The prince of Jinling was overly sad at this time, and he was in chaos; After listening to Lu Wenzheng's words, he felt that it made sense, so he said in a dumb voice: "I only complain about this king Fubo, and I can't even raise a daughter...... You helped Ling Yun's coffin back first, and then we will discuss this matter later. ”

Lu Wenzheng was also distraught, so he said weakly: "Such a small minister retreats." ”

At this time, the housekeeper Zhao Renyi came over and said, "Lord Lu, slow down, this is the token of Commander Ling, please bring it back with you!" As he spoke, he beckoned, and the attendant brought a tray covered with a black cloth.

Lu Wen's forehand trembled, and he slowly lifted the black cloth, and Ling Yun's token of the third-grade guard commander suddenly appeared in front of him, flashing with a cold cold light.

Seeing things and thinking about people, Lu Wenzheng was touched to the sore spot again, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, almost unable to stand on his body, thanks to Xu Zhi on the side who hugged him......

After Lu Wenzheng left.

The prince of Jinling only felt weak, and was supported by Zhao Renyi to return to his bedroom in a groggy state, and fell on the bed tiredly.

In the midst of his contemplation and depression, he became sleepy, and fell asleep unconsciously. In a trance, it seemed that he had arrived in a gloomy and dim place, as if he were in a room.

There was nothing in the room but a bed. There was a man lying on the bed, probably unconscious, motionless; Next to him stood a young girl, with her back to him, hiding her face and weeping.

The prince of Jinling suddenly wanted to know who the girl was at this time; Finally, the girl slowly turned around. See, it's his daughter Huanyu!

The prince of Jinling couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed the girl's hand and shouted, "Huanyu! Huanyu! ……” But I heard a voice say, "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”

The prince of Jinling suddenly opened his eyes; Seeing that what he was holding tightly, it was the hand of the housekeeper Zhao Renyi.

He couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, but he was stupidly immersed in Fang Cai's dream, and he couldn't extricate himself for a while.

Zhao Renyi saw that he was just distracted, so he said cautiously: "Lord Wang......"

The prince of Jinling was stunned for a long time before he said dumbly: "What time is it now?" ”

Zhao Renyi said: "It's noon the next day." ”

The prince of Jinling was stunned for a moment and said, "What, why did I sleep for so long?" ……”

Zhao Renyi just sighed and said nothing; Liang Jiufang said: "Lord Wang, Lord He's father and son outside, and Lord Ding, they have been waiting for you for a long time, do you want to meet them?" ”

The prince of Jinling said weakly: "Okay, please let them in." ”……

As soon as the prince of Jinling entered the living room, He Yuting, Ding Jinzhi, and He Chenglin hurriedly got up to greet him, and greeted him with courtesy, but said some comforting words that people cannot be resurrected after death, and that they mourn and change.

The prince of Jinling frowned sadly, but just sighed.

He Yuting said: "The county lord, Lu Wenzheng can't escape the blame, the prince must not spare him." ”

Zhao Fu sighed: "This king is blessed, and the little girl's life is thin, so I only complain about the will of heaven." Didn't Lu Wenzheng also lose his troops? Didn't Ling Yun also die for this? I don't think there is a need to pursue this matter! ”

He Chenglin said: "Uncle, my niece has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

The prince of Jinling said: "The niece just has to say." ”

He Chenglin said: "The niece just doesn't understand, why did the county lord die with Ling Yun?" Maybe Ling Yun wanted to save the county lord and encountered a strong enemy at the same time; Maybe it'......"

"Maybe what?"

He Chenglin slurred: "Maybe...... Who dares to say that Ling Yun will have any wrong thoughts or do anything arrogant during this period? ”

The prince of Jinling was stunned for a moment, oh, "How do you say this?" ”

He Chenglin hesitated for a moment and said: "Please forgive my niece for saying bluntly: a few months ago, Ling Yun abducted the county lord in the Lu Mansion, and he was covetous at that time; Later, the trick was discovered, and he still didn't give up; Now looking for the county lord, no one else can find the county lord, but Ling Yun has found it-did he hide the county lord in advance, and take this opportunity to elope with the county lord? It's just a pity that God's will is like this, so he can't get his way......"

The prince of Jinling couldn't help but say angrily: "How can a niece say such a thing!" Even if Ling Yun is that kind of shameless person, is my daughter also this kind of person? ”

He Chenglin saw that the prince was angry, and said repeatedly: "Yes, the niece has no words, and he has his heart, so he opens his mouth and asks my uncle for forgiveness." ”

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart; What's more, He Chenglin still had ulterior motives when he said this.

Although the prince of Jinling refuted He Chenglin on the spot, he couldn't help but take his words to heart - because these words had already deeply touched him.

He said in a deep voice: "Lingyun is despicable and shameless, and he is innocent of death; But how should Lu Wenzheng fall? ”

He Yuting said: "Lu Wenzheng's law is not strict, and he connived at and shielded his subordinates, resulting in today's disaster, and the crime is unforgivable; What's more, Lu Wenzheng has already vouched for his life in front of the saint: if he can't save the county lord, he will sacrifice the head of his neck. Things have come to this point, Lu Wenzheng is not dead, but I am afraid it will be difficult to calm the anger of the public! ”

The prince of Jinling muttered: "Today's disaster is all caused by Ling Yun, Lu Wenzheng is just deceived by it, even if he is guilty, he will not die for his crime; What's more, Lu Wenzheng is a minister of the Holy Lord, and it is only inappropriate to kill him lightly. ”

He Chenglin said: "Could it be that my cousin died in vain like this?" ”

Ding Jinzhi, who had been silent, opened his mouth at this time: "Why don't we go to the Holy Lord together and ask the Holy Lord to decide this matter?" ”

The prince of Jinling was overly sad at this time and had lost his claim; Hearing this, he was only upset and said, "Okay, just according to what you said." ”……

In the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, there was a dead air, and a layer of deep sadness was shrouded in everyone's face. The house is high in the spirit tent, and the word "lay" hanging in the middle of the tent is particularly eye-catching.

A huge black lacquered ebony coffin is in the middle of the mourning hall, and the spiritual seat reads: "The position of Lingyun is the leader of the three-grade guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department."

The plain wax on the spirit case flickered and swayed in the soft evening breeze. The two guards standing on both sides of the corpse looked decadent.

Lu Wenzheng had just left. He didn't want to leave, but Xu Zhi, Jiang Chun and others were afraid that he would be too sad, so they dragged him away with both soft and hard measures.

The bell tower struck three times. Ten thousand sounds are silent, in the moonlight like water, the figure flickered, ethereal like the shadow of a lonely Hong, landing silently, wearing the platform around the pavilion, has approached this spiritual canopy.

Before the guardian was alert, the man threw two flying stones and struck the two guards' key points, and the two of them were immediately stunned.

At this time, the night walker appeared and walked towards the canopy step by step.

The person who came was masked in a black scarf, and the black tight-fitting night dress highlighted her graceful figure.

She slowly approached Ling Yun's coffin with heavy footsteps; staring blankly at the cold words on the cold spiritual seat, her beautiful eyes were full of tears.

Tears rained down and wet the black towel on her face. She slowly raised her hand and ripped off the face towel.

This woman is Yu Qingcheng, the proprietress of the Silk Village, that is, Lian Nanchun, the deputy gang leader of Tianxiao.
