Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Forty-One: His Heart

"You...... If you lead a group of people to slander my innocence, will others believe it when you say it? ”

The woman Ru Ying was also trembling with anger, obviously even she was counted in.

From the very beginning, she was also invited here alone by Cheng Fuxian, saying that someone wanted to see her. She also told her that she only needed to play the piano behind the screen, and she would naturally know when someone came. But I never thought that it was such a vicious strategy.

"What Madame said is that evidence must be told in everything, and only our words are not credible."

As Cheng Tingdong's henchman, he naturally knew what to say at this time, took a step forward, took out something like an account book, and looked at it page by page: "We can find your master Sima Qinmo to confront him, of course, he believes it or not, but I still have to ask him to see this thing in my hand - it not only writes which men you have seen at a certain time and time in the past month, but most of them are young and handsome men, and they have stayed at the homes of several of them for more than one night......"

"Of course, we fully believe in your innocence, madam, but it is up to us whether your lord wants to investigate the specific relationship between these men and you."

The more clearly he said it, the paler Ru Ying's face became. It is natural to slander her and Sima Tingshen for fornication, but the improper relationship between her and the man recorded in the book is true. If she let her master know, even if the Sima family spares her, the government's punishment for adultery is not punishable.

Even this kind of thing has been investigated clearly, and it is obvious that these people are prepared, and this time they are determined.

Seeing that Sima Tingshen's face was pale, Liang Li also stood out from behind, also took out a notebook, and said while flipping through it: "As for you, Master Sima, this information shows that in the past few months, you have gone out to do goods for your family many times, but there have been many problems, either you have encountered a strong wind to blow the goods away, or you have encountered river thieves who robbed things. Of course, your Sima family is wealthy, so it doesn't hurt to do it once or twice. But every time you come back, you have to borrow your son's name again and buy a large amount of land outside the city. Hehe, presumably your son must be a rising star who makes money. Since it is so good, why not let your eldest brother also understand it? ”

From beginning to end, it was his henchmen who were explaining the situation to these two people, and Cheng Fuxian just smiled and smoked his cigarette pouch and didn't say anything more.

"Enough!" Sima Tingshen suddenly shouted, and said coldly: "What do you want to get through me? ”

After all, he still had some strategy, calmed down, and realized that the other party was so deliberate, he must want to accomplish something through him, so that he would definitely be safe until they achieved their goal.

"Okay," Cheng Tingdong nodded and said, "Since Your Excellency is so reasonable, we can't force each other too much." It's just that I'm curious to know what you did when you went to Chaomen just last month. Oh, by the way, there should have been more than one person at that time, and there was also a woman who belonged to the Sima family with you, who should have been named Sima Yin, who was also there at the time. ”

Cheng Tingdong stared at Sima Tingshen with his eyes, unwilling to miss any detail. In addition to thinking about what Sima Yin was doing, what was more important was to know whether the Sima family knew what this woman was doing.

If the Sima family didn't know about it, and the affairs of Chaomen were all the woman's insistence, everything would be simple; But if the Sima family knew or even acquiesced......

"What you want to know, is it actually her business?" Sima Tingshen's face became ugly, "Then you asked the wrong person, the Sima family's internal system is strict, the people are indifferent, and there are few connections between people with different internal identities." She is the 'Preparatory Son', and I am just an ordinary director of foreign affairs. All her affairs can only be known by the family hierarchy, and I don't know at all. ”

"But since you are the head of foreign affairs, the buying and selling of a considerable part of the Sima family's resources has to go through your hands, which can not be said to be a high authority. You said that you don't know about the high-level affairs of the family, which is a bit of a joke. ”

Cheng Tingdong smiled coldly, obviously not believing the other party's words.

Funny, as early as a few decades ago, when he was still in the barracks, he knew that the people in charge of ordnance procurement not only held extremely high power, but also knew many secrets that ordinary people could not guess through the materials purchased.

In a big family, the distribution of materials among different members must be more or less, who can share more, who can share less, and what everyone gets.

As long as he Sima Tingshen knew what the family had assigned to Sima Yin during this time, he could guess about this woman's situation, but now he actually told Cheng Tingdong that he didn't know anything?

"To the east of the city, near the city gate, there is a hidden warehouse, you can go there and have a look!" Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Cheng Tingdong, Sima Tingshen gritted his teeth and could only tell the truth in the end.

"What's there?" Cheng Tingdong asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know!" Looking at the vigilant and wary eyes of the group of people, he quickly shouted again: "I really don't know the specific situation!" I only know that Sima Yin came back from Chaomen City, and the family also transported a batch of things there through the seaport of Chaomen, but it has been sealed and no one is allowed to approach. I'm just borrowing my hands to record them, but I know so much about the causes and consequences, and I don't know anything else! ”

"How can you get close to that?" Now that he has obtained some news, Cheng Tingdong's face has softened a little.

"It takes a high-level command to get closer, and I don't have that permission." Sima Tingshen was obviously a little depressed when he said this, he really couldn't help.

Cheng Tingdong was not in a hurry, he smoked slowly as usual, and then turned his head to Ru Ying, who had not spoken next to him, and said, "Madam, then it's up to you." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Ru Ying said angrily.

"Although your master Sima Qinmo has a lot of houses, the only one who loves you the most is you. In that case, she should leave you something more or less. When Cheng Tingdong said this, he didn't smile.

"Humph!" Ru Ying was indignant, but she could only admit it, took out a token directly from her arms, threw it at the feet of Cheng Tingdong, and said: "This is what he left me, it is his unique warrant, so that I can go to his house to find him for something." I think those people in the Sima family all recognize this warrant and should be able to help you. ”

After a pause, her tone softened a little and said, "After you run out, I hope you can return it to me soon." He said that this thing is very important and cannot be given to people privately, if he knows it......"

"Rest assured, we will return the goods to their original owners as soon as they are finished, and no one else will know about them at this time." Cheng Tingdong motioned for Cheng to put away the token first, put down the cigarette pouch and clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, there is nothing wrong with the two of you now, where can you come from and where you can go back." We didn't prepare lunch for the two of us, so we'll have a date later. ”

"I can't ask for it!" Sima Tingshen looked annoyed, but actually knew that these people would not threaten him again in the short term, so he was greatly relieved and left here in a hurry. Ru Ying also followed behind and walked out immediately.

"Alright, let's go too." Cheng Tingdong put away the cigarette pouch and was about to leave with everyone.

Coincidentally, at this time, a burst of yin qi was released, and they all trembled.

Everyone present was a martial artist, full of blood and energy, and they were all extremely sensitive to this feeling.

When I looked up, I saw that only a ring flickered in the scorching sun, and the earth seemed to be shrouded in shadows.

"Did the Heavenly Prison say that there is a solar eclipse today?" Cheng Tingdong frowned and asked, and the other people looked at each other, not clear.

Suddenly there was a roar of eagles in the sky, and they looked up to see that it was the eagle falcon, the herald of the Fu Shendu, who had come to deliver the news to them at this time.

Cheng Xiang first caught the eagle falcon and landed on his body, untied a note from its feet, and glanced at it hurriedly, his face changed greatly.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Ting Dong Road.

"See for yourselves!" Cheng Fu handed over the note first, and then said: "Liang Mian sent a message, there is a demon clan in the city, and there is a riot!" ”

Originally, in recent days, Cheng Tingdong called most of the people to investigate the affairs of Sima's family, and the affairs of the demon clan have always been investigated by Liang Mian alone.

But everything started today, and it all got out of hand.

……

Qiu Shaohu cautiously walked into the alley, seeing that a room was empty and silent.

This room, the layout is different. There was a thick layer of booths on the ground, and it was extremely soft to step on, as if I was afraid that someone would suddenly fall while walking. The road in the house, there are all kinds of furniture next to it, whether it is a table or a chair, each of which is next to the place where it must pass, guessing that the owner of the house should be very weak, and usually walk to hold on to the place where there is strength at any time, so it will be so.

When I walked inside, I saw a bed, and there was a chair next to the bed, so that someone could get drunk on the chair at any time and take care of the people lying on the bed.

Next to the bedside, there was also a medicine jar, the family was obviously in a hurry, the medicine was still boiling, and there was a pungent smell of medicine inside. This smell has penetrated into every corner of the room, and has also penetrated into the lives of the people who live here, all the time, can not be separated from the medicine, which also means that it is inseparable from the annoyance of disease.

"The body is weak, bedridden for a long time, and after years of taking medicine, it is like the soul being imprisoned, and the mind cannot be separated from his sick body, and he lives a life like sitting in a well and watching the sky every day."

Qiu Shaohu brought this kind of thought, smelling the smell of the medicine boiling in the pot, and in a trance, he could also imagine the life of this person on the sickbed.

It's just that.

"Not good!" Qiu Shaohu was secretly frightened, and unconsciously, his body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, as if he was about to be paralyzed, and he didn't listen to himself at all.

"It's poisoned!" He looked at the pot of tormented medicine, the steam, and with his sense of smell, unconsciously sealed his meridians.

Taking the surrounding scenery as a guide, he took off his guard little by little, and then poisoned him with the smell of boiling medicine.

If Qiu Shaohu hadn't woken up earlier, I'm afraid he would have been completely fascinated at this time.

Around him, he faintly heard a violent wind.

It seemed that an extremely heavy thing, from top to bottom, fell on his head.
