Chapter 123: Don't Be Obedient
As soon as he arrived at the place, Jing Xi saw the maid's corpse, "What's going on?" ”
Shen Ling's eyes were cold, "She wanted to poison me, but she didn't expect that the poison on her body alarmed the poisonous Gu in the house, and she was bitten by the poisonous Gu." ”
Jing Xi's eyes froze, there was someone so bold that he wanted to poison Shen Ling in the National Teacher's Mansion.
At this time, everyone had arrived, Shen Ling stood on the steps and looked at the people below, and asked, "Where are you all today?" ”
She gestured to the person standing at the front to the right, "Start with you." ”
"The slave and maid swept the floor at the gate of the courtyard this morning...... although the little guy who was accused didn't know why Shen Ling was so aggressive today, he still told everything he did today.
After some interrogation, only a few people could not tell what they had done today, and there were no witnesses.
Shen Ling sneered and asked people to move the body of the maid in the house to the front of the person.
"I advise you to be honest and explain things to me clearly, otherwise, she will be your end!"
The terrible and miserable death of the maid frightened everyone, and immediately a few timid people fell to the ground with weak legs and feet, and explained some things.
But the things that these people confess are insignificant, or they have an affair with the maid, or they are looking for a place to be lazy.
Shen Ling's gaze swept to the last four remaining people, "I'm giving you one last chance, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”
"The slave is wronged, and the slave really has nothing to do with that maid." A little girl's face was pale, and he was bitter in his heart, and he didn't know which family the maid was.
Seeing that the remaining three people did not react, Shen Ling snorted coldly and released indigo butterflies, which shook their wings and sprinkled scales on the four people.
It didn't take long to see red marks appearing in different places on the four people's bodies, and black in some places.
This is a special poisonous Gu cultivated by Shen Ling, and the scale powder on his body can make red traces appear in places that have been stained with blood, and black traces can also appear in places that have been stained with poison.
"Take them down!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the four of them turned around and wanted to escape, but Jing Xi picked up the stone and threw it out, hitting the acupuncture points of the four people, and the four of them were immediately frozen in place.
"The national division didn't allow you to go."
Shen Ling saw that the people had been taken, so he asked the rest of the subordinates to retreat and interrogate the four people who showed their feet with Jing Ci alone.
"Say, who are you, and what do you have to do with this maid?"
A little guy couldn't move, blinking his eyes and defending, "County Lord Mingjian, I have nothing to do with this maid." ”
"Me too, I don't know her at all."
"All I know is that she's in the house, but not anything else."
"So are the minions."
The four of them said that they didn't know this maid, but Shen Ling didn't believe it and took out a blue spider.
She threatened: "You have to think clearly about what you are saying, if you are bitten by this spider, the veins and veins of your body will ache like being eaten by ants, and in less than an hour, you will be killed alive." ”
The poisonous Gu crawled towards the four people, and the faces of the four changed drastically, but they still said that they didn't know the maid.
In this way, Shen Ling and Jing Xi inquired for a long time, and all means were used, but except for the dead maid, they couldn't find anyone related to the maid, but only found out the original identities of the four people and the forces represented behind them.
"I don't know which poor ghost is willing to buy off only one subordinate."
Shen Ling was angry, but there were no other clues at the moment, so he could only let people wrap the body in a straw mat and throw it out of the door.
Rubbing Shen Ling's head, Jing Xi comforted, "Okay, it's late at night, let's go back to the room to rest." ”
Shen Ling was stunned for a moment, pointed at herself, and then pointed at Jing Xi.
"I ...... Guys? ”
Jing Ci's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he directly picked up Shen Ling and walked to his room.
The sudden action caused Shen Ling to exclaim, she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Jing Ci's neck, Jing Ci smiled at the corner of her lips, and hugged the person in her arms tightly.
Shen Ling, who reacted, struggled in Jing Xi's arms, "What are you doing!" Put me down! ”
Jing Ci helplessly appeased, "Don't make trouble, the person who wants to kill you sees that the maid fails, and may send someone over, we will sleep together tonight, so that if there is any abnormal movement, I can protect you in time." ”
Moved by Jing Ci's words, Shen Ling stopped struggling and was carried back to the room by Jing Ci all the way.
As soon as Shen Ling was put down by Jing Xi, he immediately took a quilt to divide the bed into two places.
"First of all, you can't go over this quilt at night."
"Okay." Jing Xi calmly responded.
Lying on the soft bed, Shen Ling could feel Jing Xi's breathing beside her, her heart was nervous, and her heart was pounding very happily.
Jing Xi couldn't sleep, and the person who thought about it day and night was now lying beside him, telling him how to not think about it.
Different from the restraint here, Song Xinyu has been paying attention to the maid's movements, and when she saw the maid's corpse, she left angrily.
Song Xin called Lin Fengzhi's name in a tone, "If I knew this, I shouldn't have listened to Lin Fengzhi's nonsense!" ”
Now that no one has been killed, the poison she spent money on is in vain, and it has made Shen Ling wary! It's really a loss for my wife and a soldier!
Song Xinyu's eyes were gloomy, it seems that she can only pay a big price!
She went to the dark market again and found a Jianghu force that specialized in assassination.
Looking at the masked man in front of him, Song Xinyu took out all the silver tickets he had taken.
"I want you to help me kill someone."
The man raised his eyebrows, the number of silver tickets is not small, enough to dispatch the top masters in the building.
He took it, "Okay, I don't know who you want to kill." ”
A cold light flashed in Song Xinyu's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Ling of the National Teacher's Mansion." ”
"Don't worry, this matter is on our Blood Moon Tower."
"Then I'll wait for good news."
Sending Song Xinyu away, the man with the mask arranged the matter.
The next day, the birdsong outside the window woke Shen Ling, Shen Ling stretched and found that Jing Xi had already gotten up.
She got up and dressed, only to find that her hands were wrapped in a blood-colored mist.
Shen Ling's heart sank, and she walked to the mirror in a few steps, and saw that she was covered in blood and qi in the mirror, which was a sign that she would have a bloody disaster.
"You're up." A pleasing voice came, interrupting Shen Ling's thoughts.
Shen Ling raised his eyes and saw Jing Xi standing at the door in a white robe, and the early morning sun outside the house hit his back, making his whole person have a hazy halo.
