Chapter 37: The Silver Fox

Feng Lisheng stepped forward and pulled the person behind him. Draw your sword and swing back at the dog.

Shen Mingjiao grabbed his sword-wielding wrist and shook his head at him, a pair of eyes swept straight towards the thin dogs that pounced.

Feng Lisheng looked at the fierce thin dogs in surprise and slowly paused, then lowered his pointed ears and lay on the ground meekly.

"No... That's impossible... How would you... You..."

Madame Lian pointed at Shen Mingjiao and muttered in disbelief.

Feng Lisheng glanced at her coldly, his gaze was cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Take people down."

Feng Wu and the others immediately stepped forward to arrest Madam Lian.

Zhao Ke, who was in shock, seemed to come back to his senses, and couldn't help but step forward to protect the person behind him:

"Your Highness, this... There must be a misunderstanding... Lian'er she... She's so kind... How could it be..."

Feng Wu sneered:

"You say she's kind! Lord Zhao is afraid that there is some misunderstanding of the word kindness! Is it so kind that he scratches a girl's face when he is in a bad mood, or is he so kind that he controls the fine dog to destroy people for his own selfish desires! ”

Zhao Ke hurriedly shook his head: "No... Impossible, hasn't the murderer of the murder case already been caught? And Lian'er, she... She's a weak woman... How can it be? ”

Mrs. Lian even grabbed Zhao Ke's sleeve tightly, crying so much that it was called a pear blossom with rain:

"Husband... Hurry up and save Lian'er... They're going to kill me... Lian'er doesn't know anything... I..."

While the two were pulling, a jade pendant fell out of Mrs. Lian's sleeve.

Feng Wu picked it up and took a look, it was a piece of excellent jadeite with excellent color, but... The veins attached to it were broken.

He stared at him and waved his hand to call a man dressed as a catcher.

The catcher was also stunned when he looked at the broken half-cut rope, and then took out a few red ropes wrapped in oiled paper from the buckle bag he was carrying.

Feng Wu took it and compared it to the broken line, and it was tightly sealed.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Ke with a shocked face:

"Lord Zhao, these red ropes were dragged down from the murderer by the deceased, that is, the soldiers guarding the treasury silver, Lord Zhao, as the king of Luodu City, should know about this!

Now Lord Zhao still thinks that your Lian'er is wronged? ”

Zhao Ke turned his head and looked at Mrs. Lian in disbelief: "Lian'er... You..."

Mrs. Lian also seemed to be stunned, but her face turned pale, and she retreated in a panic.

"How... This jade pendant has obviously been..."

When she reacted to what she said, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in a panic.

Zhao Kemeng took a step back.

Madame Lian seemed to realize something, her eyes were fierce, and she suddenly showed a soft and timid smile to Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke was stunned, and took a step forward with a blank look.

But at this moment, Mrs. Lian violently pulled out a dagger and put it at Zhao Ke's throat.

Feng Wu frowned, but sneered and said, "Tsk! Use this trick again! But I have to remind you that Zhao Ke is not our princess, and he is guilty of harboring criminals, if you want to kill him, no one will stop him. ”

Mrs. Lian dragged the stunned Zhao Ke out. Turning his head and saying coldly:

"So what, don't forget, only I know the whereabouts of the 20 million taels of silver, and to tell you the truth, I took poison before I came, and even if you catch me now, all you will get is a corpse."

Feng Lisheng's expression was very calm, or rather, as long as it was not about Shen Mingjiao's safety, he would be the expressionless His Royal Highness King Su.

He stared at the backs of the two of them leaving, and asked lightly, "You did the three families that were destroyed in Luodu City?" ”

Mrs. Lian didn't seem to want to hide anymore at this time, the dagger in her hand was pressed against Zhao Ke's throat, and she sneered:

"That's right, the more than 600 people in those three families, including the guards guarding the warehouse camp, were all killed by me using hypnosis to control the fine dogs."

Feng Lisheng then asked, "What is your purpose in killing them?" ”

As he spoke, he quietly picked up a branch on the ground.

Mrs. Lian dragged Zhao Ke forward slowly, and sneered:

"Haven't you all found out, because the Fang family killed my father, and the officials of this Luodu City are all facing the Fang family, so they all have to die..."

Before the words fell, Feng Lisheng suddenly asked: "How did you kill so many people quietly, and who are your accomplices?" ”

Mrs. Lian was stunned when she was asked, and at this moment when she was stunned,

Feng Lisheng pinched the branch and threw it gently.

With a "poof", the branch infused with internal strength pierced deep into Mrs. Lian's shoulder.

Mrs. Lian was in pain, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Feng Wu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to catch the people.

saw that Mrs. Lian's body twitched violently a few times, and then fell straight down, black blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

Feng Wu stepped forward to take a closer look and said, "Your Highness, Madam Lian has poison hidden in her teeth. ”

After he finished speaking, he frowned, Mrs. Lian died like this!

Although the murderer has now been found, he always has a feeling that things are going too well.

and the lost 20 million taels of silver, which were also lost with the death of Mrs. Lian.

And Zhao Ke also slowly came to his senses, looking at Mrs. Lian's corpse in a daze.

Shen Mingjiao has been silent since just now, but in fact, she has been digesting the extra things in her brain.

And she inadvertently saw it just now, the moment Mrs. Lian fell, her eyes were clearly full of disbelief.

Other words. Lady Lian may not have committed suicide.

……

When she returned, she told Feng Lisheng about this discovery.

Feng Lisheng kept tugging on her wrist, as if what had just happened scared him.

Hearing her say this, she just said lightly: "I know it in my heart." ”

Seeing him like this, Shen Mingjiao sighed helplessly, "I don't blame you for what happened just now, it was because I was too anxious to find my sister that I fell into someone else's trap." ”

Feng Lisheng pursed his lips and didn't speak, if he was more careful. Send a few more people to protect Shen Mingjiao, maybe what happened just now will not happen.

But at this moment, a snow-white little milk dog came over and gently rubbed at Shen Mingjiao's feet.

Shen Mingjiao squatted down and touched the little milk dog's fluffy hair:

"Little one. Do you still recognize me? ”

The little milk dog's wet eyes looked at her purse, and its short tail wagged happily.

Shen Mingjiao was happy, and rubbed the little guy's soft head heavily: "It's so smart!" ”

He took out the meat from his purse and handed it to his mouth, "Come on, eat it!" ”

He stood up and clapped his hands, "This puppy is pretty smart!" ”

Feng Lisheng glanced at the cheerful little thing he was eating, and had to correct her: "This is a silver fox, not a dog." ”

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Mingjiao was shocked, she squatted down and took a closer look at the fluffy little guy.

It does seem to be better looking than a dog!

She was suddenly interested, she had grown so big, she hadn't really seen a fox yet.

In her previous life, she had seen the red fox raised by Su Tian, but the red fox was very arrogant, and she had only seen it once from afar.

She couldn't help but poke the tail of the little silver fox, thinking that this little guy was even cuter.

Feng Lisheng glanced at the cheerful figure of one person and one fox, "If you like it, take it back." ”

Shen Mingjiao shook her head: "This should be raised by others, and this is not an object, people raise it well, I can't just leave if I like it!" ”

Fluttershy hurriedly walked over, "Sister Gillian, where have you been, let me tell you, something big is going on in the house, Mrs. Lian..."

Shen Mingjiao interrupted her: "I know, Mrs. Lian is dead, I saw it with my own eyes, because she tricked me over and planned to let the dog bite me." ”

After speaking, his eyes were fixed on each other's eyes.

Fluttershy is startled and asks, "Are you alright?" Then he scolded angrily: "I knew that woman had a bad stomach..."

Shen Mingjiao breathed a sigh of relief, although she could feel that this girl had no ill will towards her, but what had happened before was too strange, so he had to be on guard.

Fluttershy notices the little silver fox lying on the grass and is surprised:

"Huh? Why is the snow ball here? ”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to hug it, but the little silver fox turned around and ran away nimbly.

Fluttershy retracts her hand, "Snow has a big temper, and Madame can hold it on weekdays." ”

Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows in surprise: "This little silver fox was raised by Mrs.?" ”

"Yes, I picked it up when my wife went out half a year ago, but this time my wife is sick, and Xuetuan rarely goes back to the main courtyard."

At the mention of Mrs. Zhao, Shen Mingjiao thought of the strange book, and the things that had inexplicably come out of her mind after what had just happened.

She wanted to go back to the main courtyard and ask Mrs. Zhao what was going on?

However, after what happened just now, Feng Lisheng didn't allow her to stay in the Zhao Mansion no matter what.

Shen Mingjiao is helpless, then you let me and Mrs. Zhao say goodbye, right?

Feng Lisheng didn't object anymore, but he asked Wang Dashan to follow secretly, and he went to the front yard to find Zhao Ke. After all, the murderer, Mrs. Lian, is his favorite concubine,

He must know whether Zhao Ke knew about the whole thing?

and the 20 million taels of silver, which have not been found to this day.

Shen Mingjiao came to the main courtyard where Mrs. Zhao was, but was stopped by the servants.

A short time later, Fluttershy walks out and looks at her apologetically:

"Sister Gillian, Madame doesn't want to see you, but Madame said that she knows what you want to ask, and she asked me to tell you that this is your own creation, and the answers you want are all in the book."

At this time, the little silver fox ran out of the yard and rubbed at Shen Mingjiao's feet.

Fluttershy pointed to the little silver fox, "Also, Madame said she wasn't in good health and didn't have the energy to raise snow balls, so if you like it, take it away!" ”

Listening to these words, for some reason, Shen Mingjiao had an ominous premonition in her heart.

She stares at Fluttershy, "Is something wrong with Madame?" ”

Fluttershy shook her head for some reason, "No, Madame is still the same, she should be basking in the sun on the chaise longue in the courtyard." ”

Shen Mingjiao was silent for a while: "Okay, you go back and tell your wife, saying that I have received her love, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Suwangfu to find me." ”

……

Shen Mingjiao took the little silver fox out of Zhao's mansion, she was still a little worried, so she asked Wang Dashan to quietly enter the courtyard to take a look at Mrs. Zhao's situation.

Not long after, Wang Dashan came back and said that Mrs. Zhao was lying on the recliner in the courtyard drinking tea, except for her complexion, her spirit was not bad.

Shen Mingjiao relaxed a little, and planned to ask the best doctor in the city to take Mrs. Zhao's pulse after she went back.

Feng Lisheng walked out,

"I asked Zhao Ke, and he said that Miss Yunshu didn't come back, and it was Cailian who deliberately instigated Aunt Wang to spread the news."

Although she had already guessed the result, Shen Mingjiao was still a little disappointed,

The two went back to the rented house.

Haitang waited at the gate of the courtyard early, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her girl coming back intact. When he saw the little silver fox in Shen Mingjiao's arms, he couldn't help but come over in surprise:

"Where did the puppy come from, it looks so cute!"

Girls naturally like fluffy animals, and Begonia can't help but reach out and want to touch it,

However, the little guy did not cooperate. Directly arrogantly turned her head to avoid the hand stretched out by Haitang, and the soft hair stood up vigilantly.

Shen Mingjiao raised her hand and gently smoothed his hair.

Feng Lisheng, who was listening to the report of his subordinates, glanced over here, and saw that the little thing was comfortably rubbing against Shen Mingjiao's chest, and he was inexplicably unhappy for some reason.

He walked over and said lightly, "Come to the study." ”

Shen Mingjiao was reluctant to let go of the hand holding the little silver fox and explained to Haitang: "Go get it something to eat." ”

Shen Mingjiao followed Feng Lisheng to the study, and when she saw that everyone was there, she guessed that she was going to discuss the case.

Feng Wu was the first to speak: "We searched Cailian's courtyard and the places where she used to be, but we didn't find the treasury silver. ”

Feng Lisheng sat on the top, and his brows didn't move when he heard the words, obviously he had expected it.

Instead, he asked a few people: "Do you think Cailian is really a murderer?" ”

Xu Daniu scratched his head: "But didn't she admit it herself?" ”

Shen Mingjiao said: "Don't say anything else, an obvious question, I've always been curious, since the murderer is so capable, the half of the rope that was torn off the jade pendant from the waist of the deceased, this kind of obvious evidence, will the murderer not find it?" ”

Even if he was too hasty to commit the crime at that time and really didn't find out, ordinary people would no longer keep that jade pendant and the obvious half-cut on it. And Mrs. Lian not only kept it, but also fell out at such a coincidental time,

This is for fear that others will not know that she is the murderer! Baba's sent to the door. ”

"Also, according to your description, the traces of several crime scenes have been cleaned up very cleanly, that is, the murderer has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, do you think Mrs. Lian has that ability!"

The most important point is that through the extra things in her mind, she knows that Madame Lian may indeed have some skills.

But it is only useful for animals or some people who are not strong-willed, in other words, if you are strong-willed, her so-called hypnosis will be ineffective.

And the three families that were wiped out, adding up to more than 600 people, are there not any people with a strong will?

Feng Lisheng nodded: "What the princess said is right, you all tell me who is most likely to be the murderer?" ”

Feng Wu thought for a while and said: "The closest relationship with Madam Lian is naturally Zhao Ke, but it definitely can't be him, because of such a major event as the loss of the treasury silver, unless he gets it back later and makes up for it, otherwise the saint will be furious, and he and even all the officials of this Luo capital will be dismissed and imprisoned." ”

Feng Lisheng looked at Shen Mingjiao and asked, "What does the princess think?" ”

Shen Mingjiao gave him a blank look and asked her what she was doing? Don't you already have the answer in mind?
