Chapter 323: Tail

All the timing points are just right.

Shen Lingxi wrote the word "embroidery" on white paper.

The man really gave her half an embroidered picture.

In the manner of a homicide.

On the Kunlun Nu mask on the body of the man in white, there was a pattern of grinning and laughing, as if it was the person behind him, laughing at the two of them arrogantly.

It is enough to see that the person behind him has a strong self-confidence and self-righteous intelligence.

Shen Lingxi squatted down, opened the gilded incense burner, and pinched off the incense stick that had just been lit with his bare hands.

She put the incense on the tip of her nose and sniffed it a few times, and after identifying the medicinal smell contained in it, she looked at Yun Chong, who had been floating away from her, with a smile.

Said mockingly: "This scorching sun makes you look like cabbage, you can see it everywhere." You are very generous, and you have given this person all the good medicines you took from the medicine palace. There are too few fools like you, who were calculated and killed, and who still paid for them after death. ”

Yun Chong's face was extremely gloomy, "I died at the hands of King Rui, what does it have to do with him?" ”

"Oh? Since he died at the hands of King Rui, guess what...... Those who accompanied the emperor were to be searched by the internal guards to prevent any assassins from working against the emperor. You pretended to be a servant of King Rui, but did you know that he had hidden a dagger in his sleeve beforehand? ”

Yun Chong choked.

In the days before he died, in order to make the plan foolproof, he always followed King Rui.

But he really didn't know that King Rui avoided the internal guards and carried a dagger with him.

Thinking of this, Yun Chong's face became a lot more gloomy.

Shen Lingxi saw that he was speechless, and sneered.

She leaned closer, looked at the color of the wound, and lowered her eyes to estimate the size of the blood.

"The time of death, about a quarter of an hour ago." She looked at Chu Yan, "This means that the sound of the piano we heard just now was played by someone else." ”

Chu Yan seemed to have expected it, and began to explore the mechanism around the room.

"Click".

In the silence of the room, there was a sudden sound of the mechanism activating.

I don't know what Chu Yan touched, but on the wall due north, a secret door suddenly popped open.

Behind the secret door, there is a long and narrow corridor.

In the corridor, there is a candle flame and it is very bright.

Look at it, there is a bit of "please enter the urn" meaning.

Yun Chong bypassed the range of Chu Yan's evil qi and took the lead in floating into the corridor, he turned his head awkwardly, "The murderer is hiding in this secret passage, for the sake of you and my brother and sister, I don't mind, show you the way." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you were knocked unconscious last time, right?" Shen Lingxi asked mockingly, "Are you sure you remember the way?" ”

Yun Chong gritted his teeth and looked at her, "Shen Lingxi, you don't have to know what to do." ”

Shen Lingxi didn't mean to give him face at all.

"Thanks to you being knocked unconscious, you led the way for Liu Meiren. Guess me, do I know how to go through this secret passage? ”

Yun Chong knew that she had always been powerful, so he was taken aback, and snorted coldly in anger, then turned around and floated towards the end of the road.

On the contrary, it was Xu Yuanshan, with a gloomy face, who followed them not far or near, looking like that, as if he was afraid that they would turn around and leave.

Yun Chongshang still has a little bit of indignation at the matter of "being used by others".

But Xu Yuanshan, even if he has now learned that he was used by Li Xiangyang at the beginning, and everyone almost became the scapegoat of the Li family because of him, but he did not feel any guilt and remorse.

It's just a thought, wanting Shen Lingxi to die.

It can be seen that this person, whether in life or after death, what family glory and blood relatives are not as important as himself.

Shen Lingxi raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and show us the way for your master?" ”

When Xu Yuanshan heard this, a touch of yin flashed in his eyes.

But even so, he was very "obedient", turned around and drifted to the depths of the road.

Shen Lingxi glanced at Chu Yan and followed behind Xu Yuanshan first.

Yun Chong and Xu Yuanshan didn't know that in the past few days, this secret passage, Shen Lingxi, under Liu Meiren's description, had already drawn a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight

She and Chu Yan walked one after the other, following the direction illuminated by the Yongdao, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, a fork appeared in front of them.

There are three roads at the fork that lead in different directions.

It's just that every road is pitch black, and there is no longer half a light.

Shen Lingxi naturally knew where these three roads led.

But this time, if they want to arrest people, they should chase them in the direction where the murderer escaped.

It's just that the other party obviously intends to let them enter the secret passage, but he doesn't even have the slightest hint about the three roads in front of him.

Obviously, the other side has other purposes.

"Let's get here." Xu Yuanshan rarely spoke.

He drifted straight to the leftmost road.

Shen Lingxi groaned for a few breaths, without the slightest intention of taking a step.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

He wanted her to go, but she must not go.

At this moment, Liu Meiren, who had disappeared for a while, also floated out from the secret passage on the far left, "No need to continue chasing." ”

As soon as Xu Yuanshan saw her, his face immediately changed, and he almost gritted his teeth and glared angrily.

"Nosy." He said hatefully.

Regarding Liu Meiren's repeated reports to Shen Lingxi, Yun Chong and Xu Yuanshan were extremely disgusted with her.

Liu Meiren crossed her waist, smiled at him, and said back: "I don't know if I'm stupid." ”

Xu Yuanshan was so angry that his eyebrows and eyes were screwed together.

Liu Meiren snorted at him, and then said to Shen Lingxi: "They deliberately let you in, and they left this three-way crossing, just to test whether you can see the ghost." ”

"If you can get out of the secret passage where they escaped, they will know that you will see ghosts. So, instead of continuing in, it's better to go back the way you came. ”

Shen Lingxi thought for a moment.

"If you go back the way you came, most of them will be exposed."

As she spoke, she raised her foot and walked to the far right.

Seeing this, Liu Meiren understood what she meant, and followed with a smile.

As she walked, she said to Shen Lingxi, "As you guessed before, that person really didn't hold his breath, he killed Mr. Chunshan to prove how smart he was, but accidentally showed his fox tail." I've been following the murderer all along, and I seem to know where the mastermind is now......"

*

The night passed.

The rumor that Mr. Haruyama of the Drunken Flower Courtyard died tragically under the sword of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the middle of the night spread far and wide.

It is said that Mr. Chunshan was disrespectful and angered the prince, which caused this disaster.

It is also said that Mr. Haruyama has embroidered pictures, but he is unwilling to hand them over, so he will be killed by the prince who is eager to collect them.

Some people even say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves Mr. Chongchunshan's talent and wants to bring Mr. Chongchunshan under his command, but Mr. Ran is arrogant and unwilling to go out, so he will be victimized by His Royal Highness the Prince.

For a time, there were different opinions.

Since Mr. Chunshan appeared in front of people, although he has mixed in the land of three religions and nine streams, his reputation is very Qinghua. Now there are many people who have died suddenly and tragically, and they lament their misfortune.

It will inevitably arouse heated discussions among the people about Chu Yan, the crown prince.

"Violence", "thirst for killing", "unscrupulous means to achieve the goal", because of the tragic death of Mr. Chunshan, Chu Yan's image in the hearts of the people gradually returned to many years ago.

When the first emperor was alive, although he fought in all directions, he was famous for loving the people like a son.

Today, it is also to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for decades, and the tyranny of the tyrant and the demon queen of the previous dynasty still has a lingering charm in the hearts of the people.

If the prince is violent and murderous, the people's will be lost, and the country will be unstable.

Under such public opinion -

For three consecutive days, Chu Yan never went to court, hiding in the East Palace, and closed his door.

Until the fourth day, the crown princess invited the imperial doctor to come to the door overnight.

From the emperor to the dignitaries in the capital, they learned that the prince suddenly caught a cold and was seriously ill...... (End of chapter)
