Hearing this, Feng Lisheng's expression became more and more condensed, and he was completely disappointed in this nephew who had been regarded as a brother since he was a child. He sneered and asked rhetorically:

"A woman who has harmed my wife many times, I'm curious, how do you have the face to say such things!"

Seeing that the prince's face became more and more pale, he still knelt motionless. Feng Lisheng took a deep breath and stared at him condescendingly:

"Your current behavior, if it is spread to the court, what do you make the civil and military officials think? Let the imperial history impeach the imperial brother for not governing the family strictly!

Qi Yu, you have to remember that you are not only Su Tian's husband, you are also the prince of a country, and you have the country and society on your shoulders! ”

After saying that, he didn't look at him anymore, and left without looking back.

……

It wasn't until nearly dusk that Feng Lisheng returned to the backyard. Shen Mingjiao looked at the tiredness between his eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so she stepped forward and took the initiative to help him loosen his clothes: "Go wash quickly, the meal is ready." ”

Feng Lisheng grabbed her hand: "Don't worry, follow me somewhere." ”

Shen Mingjiao glanced at the sky and couldn't help but be surprised: "Now? ”

"Well, I'll tell you on the way."

Out of the backyard, Feng Lisheng picked her up on horseback, and the horse galloped. The two eventually came to a majestic and eerie complex.

Shen Mingjiao dismounted and looked at the black lacquered wooden door in front of him: "This is Dali Temple!" ”

Feng Lisheng nodded: "This is a cell dedicated to special prisoners in Dali Temple. ”

As he spoke, he took her hand and walked forward, touching her somewhat cold fingers, and he frowned in annoyance. Stop. Stretched out her hands and held her slender hands in her palms, and gently rubbed them back and forth:

"I didn't think it through, I should have added a cloak to you."

The cold hand was covered by a pair of warm and wide hands, Shen Mingjiao's heart was a little sweet and a little warm,

Although this guy is a bit straight and basically hasn't said any love words, this kind of inadvertent tenderness is more throbbing than any sweet words.

But this is outside after all, and she shrank her hand uncomfortably:

"Okay, I'm fine, tell me quickly, what are you bringing me here for?"

Feng Lisheng felt that her hands were completely warm, and then said:

"I have asked people to check all the properties under Su Huai's name, and the relevant personnel have also reviewed them, and no one knows the whereabouts of the eight million taels of silver."

Shen Mingjiao understood: "Su Huai's mouth is very hard? ”

"Yes, Su Huai is a person with a tough mind, and it is useless for such a person to be tortured. It's an urgent matter, so I'd like to ask you for your help to hypnotize him and ask where the money is. ”

Shen Mingjiao nodded: "Then let's go!" But you also know that not everyone in this world can be hypnotized. ”

"It's okay, everything is your own safety, if it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways."

Pity...... They were a step too late after all.

As the two approached the almost closed secret cell, they turned through a labyrinthine corridor and finally came to the innermost cell.

But through the faint candle flame in front of the pillar, I faintly saw a person lying on the side of the cell.

Feng Lisheng glanced at it casually, and then his face changed. The cell boss who followed behind him jumped in his heart when he saw this, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

Feng Lisheng turned around and stared at him with a calm face: "Open the cell door and see for yourself!" ”

The cell boss stepped forward to open the cell door tremblingly: when he saw the person lying inside, he couldn't help but take a step back:

"This ...... How so? ”

Shen Mingjiao took a few steps forward to take a look, and found that the person lying on the ground had his eyes closed peacefully, and at first glance it looked like he was asleep.

However, looking at the reaction of the cell leader, it is obvious that he cannot be asleep, but is already dead.

The cell boss knelt down with a white face and trembling: "Your Highness, this is not a matter of humble duty!" Humble ...... The humble post has always sent people to guard the ...... with a good eye."

Su Huai was an important prisoner personally confessed by their lords, and now that this person was dead under his nose, he, the cell leader in charge of guarding, was likely to be questioned.

Feng Lisheng ignored him, walked straight forward and rolled Su Huai's eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask for a servant,"

Shen Mingjiao walked to his side: "Is he poisoned?" Or suicide! ”

Feng Lisheng raised his hand to clasp the pulse of the deceased, and shook his head with an ugly face:

"It's not certain yet. However, a felony like him has to tie his hands and feet and remove his chin before being locked in, and there is no possibility of suicide at all. ”

He called the two jailers guarding the cell and carefully inquired about all the details from Su Huai's imprisonment to the present.

“… After the adults had gone, he was very calm, and did not look panicked and shout like the usual prisoners, but he sat calmly for a while, and after about half an hour, he was tired, so he lay down and fell asleep, turning over three times in between, the most recent being two quarters of an hour ago......"

This is the highest standard prison in the Great Xia Kingdom, and there will never be a situation where a martial arts master robs the prison as written in the book.

Because those who can be here are all felons in the court, before they confess, they have special people who stare at them from morning to night.

To be on the safe side, Shen Mingjiao hypnotized the two jailers to prove that they were indeed not lying.

Soon came over, and after a simple autopsy, he whispered to Feng Lisheng:

"Judging from the pulse, the preliminary judgment is that he died of a sudden impatience, and as for whether there is a cause of death next to him, he has to conduct an in-depth dissection to know by Weichen."

Shen Mingjiao was surprised: "So it's just an accident?" She knew that there was a heart disease, which was usually not obvious, and her life was lost very quickly when she attacked.

"But it's too much of a coincidence! However, it doesn't make sense if it is poisoned, after all, it is impossible for Su Huai to predict that he will be arrested in advance, so it is naturally impossible to take poison or something in advance, unless this poison can kill people at any time......"

Speaking of this, she was stunned for a moment, and thought of something - Gu worms.

She suggested, "Why don't you ask the witch doctor to take a look." ”

……

The cell was too dim, Feng Lisheng ordered someone to carry the body to the side courtyard,

Walking out of the dark prison, Shen Mingjiao asked curiously, "What kind of person is Su Huai?" ”

Feng Lisheng thought about it and commented very pertinently: "He is a very successful politician, and his lifelong wish may be to be a powerful minister who has left a name in history, with a cold heart, and can give up anything in order to achieve his goal?"

But he is not a completely bad person, at least in the years he has been prime minister, he has indeed made a lot of achievements. ”

Shen Mingjiao concluded: "In other words, although he is not a good person, he is a good official. ”

"Then the question is, why would such a person choose to embezzle so much silver!

Although there are few officials who are not corrupt, according to what you said, his lifelong pursuit is to be a high-ranking official and enjoy the power above 10,000 people! It stands to reason that with his status, if he really likes money, as long as he releases the news, there will be a lot of people who come to the door to send filial piety, as long as it is not too much, the royal brother will also turn a blind eye to it.

Why take the risk of greedy for silver that should not be touched, and there are still so many greedy ones! ”

Throughout the history of various dynasties, although there are many corrupt officials, most of them come from local officials, and when they can sit in the position of prime minister, they often don't care so much about money, but more about the power in their hands.

Unless he is particularly obsessed with money, and obviously Su Huai is not.

Feng Lisheng nodded: "And the most important point is that since Su Huai started to be corrupt eight years ago, there has been no change in the family's expenses, and Su Huai has no big expenses in private, as if this silver never existed." ”

Shen Mingjiao touched her chin and pondered: "In other words, this silver, she is greedy for others!" There is someone behind Su Huai!

Now that he has been arrested, the people behind him are afraid that he will say something, so they kill him. ”

"It's just that I don't understand a little bit, who would someone like Su Huai would work so willingly for!"

……

Half an hour later, the witch doctor came, and at the same time, there was also Lord Chen of Dali Temple.

The witch physician stepped forward with the medicine box, first checked the lower pulse as usual, and when he saw a slightly thick cyan blood vessel on the inside of the corpse's wrist, his face couldn't help but change, and then he took some blood from the corpse......

After some manipulation, he said to Feng Lisheng: "It's a heart-loving Gu!" ”

Lord Chen frowned and thought for a while: "I also know a little about Gu worms, but I have never heard of Heart-loving Gu. ”

Doctor Wu explained: "Heart-loving Gu is a very ancient Gu technique in southern Xinjiang, and it has almost disappeared now. ”

Shen Mingjiao asked curiously, "Is this Gu very powerful?" ”

"If you want to say how powerful it is, the Heart Lust Gu is also known as the same fate Gu, placing the male and female Gu on two people, as long as one of them dies, the other person will also die."

Shen Mingjiao listened to it staggeringly, so that everything could be explained. As soon as something happens to Su Huai, as long as he kills another person who has been subjected to a heart-loving Gu, then Su Huai can only die silently.

Feng Lisheng asked: "Since Heart-loving Gu is a very ancient Gu technique, does Master Wu know who are the people in this world who have the ability to raise this kind of Gu?" ”

Doctor Wu thought for a moment: "After so many years, I have experienced several major disputes, and the Gu art in Southern Xinjiang has gradually declined, and many Gu art inheritances have been broken, so it stands to reason that there should not be many people who know about this heart-loving Gu." In addition to the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, and the owners of several major villages in southern Xinjiang, there is also a village in northern Xinjiang. ”

Hearing him mention northern Xinjiang, Feng Lisheng instantly thought of the poison of the cone soul in Fang Dacheng and Qin Yan before.

I just don't know if there is any connection between the two!

……

When I got out of Dali Temple, it was completely dark. Feng Lisheng hugged Shen Mingjiao on horseback, "I'll send you back to the house first, and then I have to go into the palace to talk to the imperial brother Dingming." ”

Shen Mingjiao looked at the sky that was already completely dark, thinking that he was so busy, I was afraid that I would not see each other for several days, and I was inevitably a little reluctant in my heart.

She looked sideways at Feng Lisheng, "Otherwise, I'll go into the palace with you, let's stay in the palace tonight, and I'll go back to the house tomorrow." ”

At this time, Shen Mingjiao was sitting on horseback, and the two were so close that they could almost breathe. Feng Lisheng looked at her clearer and more beautiful eyes in the moonlight, and there was no secret of friendship for him in those eyes.

Even if it wasn't the first time he had seen her like this, Feng Lisheng couldn't help but throb in his heart, and gently touched her head, and his clear voice was slightly hoarse:

"Okay, listen to the princess."
