Chapter 817: The Holy Maiden in Red Is Dead (2)
The Queen Mother was talking, and when she saw Mu Erzhen, she wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, "Mu Erzhen, didn't you resign from the king?" I thought you were gone. ”
Yuan Zhen's face showed sadness, "Back to the Queen Mother, we originally planned to leave for Black Scorpion City today." Who knew that when I woke up this morning, I found the red-clothed saint dead in the inn room, with multiple knife marks on her body, the most fatal was the neck, and her neck was cut open by a sharp knife. ”
Jing Ping and Ning Yi were shocked, the Holy Maiden in Red was dead!
Rong Fei went to the post house last night and did not say anything about the death of the saint in red.
"Have you caught the murderer?" The queen asked.
Yuan Zhen shook his head, "No, the murderer came and went without a trace, and by the time we found out that the saint was dead, the murderer would have disappeared long ago."
"Then you should hurry up and find the murderer." The Queen Mother said.
"What the Queen Mother said is, so I came to the palace to find the king to call the shots." Yuan Zhendao.
"What do you do?"
"Because I found that the knife wound on the holy woman's body is very similar to the wound left by General Ning's golden jade and blue blood treasure knife." Yuan Zhendao.
"......" Jingping looked at Yuan Zhen, he was really calculating.
"Yuan Zhen came to find King Gu early in the morning, and King Gu originally wanted to pass General Ning into the palace to confront him. As a result, I heard that General Ning had already entered the palace and was here with the queen mother, so I came over. "Tiger Gol Road.
"Is the knife edge the same in this world? How to prove that it was caused by General Ning's knife? The queen said.
"Queen, that day in front of King Hachi, General Ning and the king danced with swords, and I have seen General Ning's blade. The blade of the Golden Jade Blood Knife is different from the knife in the North, so it can be distinguished. ”
Yuan Zhendao, "And yesterday in the post house, Zhu Danniang vaguely saw a figure, similar to General Ning. ”
Jingping sneered, and then said, "Queen Mother, the king, Zijiu was in the palace all night last night and never went out. ”
"Princess, is that true?" Hugol asked.
"I'm quiet, and I'm not lying." Jingping Road.
Hu Guoer looked at Yuan Zhen, and now Ning Yi has someone to testify.
"Princess Jingping is Ning Yi's husband, how can her testimony be corroborated."
Yuan Zhen continued, "But the knife marks can't be faked, the death of the red-clothed saintess was killed by someone in an instant, in Shenmutong, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to leave in an instant after killing someone in the post house." ”
"What you said is true, but the queen also believes in Princess Jingping's character, and she will definitely not lie. Presumably, another man with a similar knife killed the Holy Maiden in Cardinal. The queen said.
Yuan Zhen was secretly surprised, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to show her trust in Ananda so directly.
Even Huguoer was very surprised!
"What the queen mother said is reasonable, and General Ning has no reason to kill the red-clothed saint." Tiger Gol Road.
"The king doesn't know that the saintess in red is the saintess of my infinite desert, and all the silver-haired people respect the saints."
"When the saint was in Da'an, the Da'an Emperor imprisoned the saint many times, and then finally let them go, but he still sent people to follow and monitor. The saint told me before that Emperor Da'an had the intention of killing her? "Yuan Zhendao.
"Mu Erzhen, Da'an did not imprison the red-clothed saintess, but arranged for Da'an's most gorgeous Ziwei Palace for her to live in. Later, the reason why I was guarded was because the saint in red and Zhu Danniang were suspected of assassinating my mother. But my father was still lenient and did not dispose of their sisters in the end. You are also clear about these. Jingping said.
"Ning Yi, let me ask you, does Emperor Da'an have the will to kill the red-clothed saint for you?" Yuan Zhen asked.
"Yes." Ning Yi replied, "But I promised the king, I won't kill you in the palace, and I won't kill you before the succession ceremony of King Shenmutong." I, Ning Zijiu, have always been good at talking, and I will never break my word. ”
"Otherwise, your head would have been out of your head long ago."
"You're righteous." Yuan Zhen looked incredulous and continued, "Your Majesty, when the red-clothed saintess came to Shenmutong that day, she was dedicated to returning to the northern border, and she also gave a gift of silver beads. Today, the saint died in the inn, please call the king. ”
"Murzhen, the Lone King knows your feelings, and you must be sad in your heart at this time." Hu Guoer sighed, "But the Lone King also believes what General Ning said, he has made a promise to the Lone King, and he will definitely not break his promise." ”
"My lord, I still have evidence that can prove that the red-clothed saintess will never die under my golden jade and blood knife." Ning Yi said.
"Oh? What evidence? ”
"This golden jade and blue blood knife of mine was given by Emperor Da'an a few months ago, although I wear it with me, but this knife has not yet been opened, and it has never been stained with blood."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.
"The king is a man who knows the sword, and he can check it out now." Ning Yi said and pulled out the golden jade knife.
As soon as the treasure knife came out, the blade of the sword was shining silver, as if it lit up the palace hall.
Hu Guoer is a military general, he is quite obsessed with swords, and he has long known that Ning Yi's knife is a treasure knife.
Pulling it out like this, his eyes lit up, and after a careful inspection, he said, "This knife has indeed not been opened." ”
Yuan Zhen was also very surprised, Ning Yi actually went in and out with an unopened knife every day.
Jingping looked at Yuan Zhen deeply, Yuan Zhen suddenly made such a play, what is the purpose?
"It seems that General Ning is indeed a man of promises." The Queen Mother said.
"So Ning Yi really has nothing to do with this case, Mu Erzhen, in this way, the Lone King sent the criminal officer to the post house to see if he could find traces of spiders and worms? Find the murderer. "Tiger Gol Road.
"My lord, although this case has proven to be irrelevant to me. But since Moorzhen can testify against me, I also want to go and find out. Ning Yi said.
"King, General Ning said many times before that he wanted to kill me, and he went to the post station with me, which really made me feel uneasy." Yuan Zhendao.
"Mu Erzhen, you don't have to think too much, General Ning has promised the king not to kill you before the king's succession ceremony, he will naturally do it." The Queen Mother said slowly.
Huguoer was even more surprised, the queen mother never cared about this, let alone brought down the thorns, it all depended on Moore Zhen's strategy, and the queen mother should be more biased towards Moore Zhencai.
But at this moment, every sentence was biased towards Ning Yi.
"Murgen, I do want to kill you. But I will kill you, and I will let you die at my hands in the open. The king will save your life for three days, I naturally want to give the king face, you can rest assured! Ning Yi said lightly.
"I have some affinity with the Holy Maiden in Cardinal, and now I am shocked to hear that she died suddenly. The Queen Mother, the King, and Jingping also want to take a look. Jingping said.
"Princess Jingping is so smart, maybe you will help later." The Queen Mother said.
"Thank you for the trust of the Queen Mother, even if I can't find clues, with the little relationship between the Holy Maiden in Red and the royal family, I should give her one last ride and see her for the last time." Jingping Road.
