Chapter 68: The Bloody Case in the Palace Shows Wolf Traces
The third elder brother is approachable and doesn't care about those red tape court rules, at this moment, in his heart, he only feels that after having Zimo and Xue Ning by his side, he is a lot happier and happier.
The words of the third elder brother made Zimo Xue Ning and Sister Ziyan forget their sadness for the time being, and couldn't help but smile.
"Third elder brother, thank you for saving me and my family from danger again and again, in the future, you and the little elder brother and your imperial mother, if there is anything tricky, please just tell us, my sister and Zimo will try our best to do it even if we fight for our lives." "Xue Ning is young, but she is affectionate and righteous, and she knows that the grace of receiving a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring.
"Sister Xue Ning, it is enough to have your words, I hope that all of us will not encounter unpredictable things in the future, and we can all live peacefully and happily. The third elder brother hurriedly thanked Xue Ning, but in his heart, he never thought about what he and his mother or family needed Xue Ning to do.
After some crying, Xue Ning and Eighth Sister both calmed down, Xue Ning saw that her sister didn't want to go out of the palace by herself for the time being, so she asked her sister with concern, "Eighth Sister, you will be alone in the future, where will you go?" She really wanted her sister to ask the third elder brother for help and stay in the palace, but seeing that the third elder brother did not express her position for a long time, it was not easy to open her mouth at will.
"I, I haven't figured out where I'm going?" Thinking of her future, Eighth Sister couldn't help but redden.
The problem that the two sisters had in their hearts made the third elder brother quite difficult, and after weighing it again and again, he reluctantly said, "Sister Ziyan, I know that you are alone now and have nowhere to go, why don't you stay in my uncle's mansion and be a maid, are you willing?" Last time, I begged the queen mother to let Sister Xue Ning stay in the palace, it was already a thousand difficulties, but I am afraid that this time, the queen mother will not agree to let me take people in the palace casually."
Fortunately, my uncle loves me as much as the queen mother, and I went to intercede with him in person and let you stay, it shouldn't be a problem. ”
"There is the third elder brother Lao, Ziyan has thanked the third elder brother here first. "Eighth sister, when she heard that the third elder brother agreed to help her, she was overjoyed, and she bowed down again and again to thank her.
In this huge capital, she is already satisfied to be able to survive, survive with her sister, and find an opportunity to avenge her family.
Just as a few people were greeting each other, they heard the frightened shouts of the palace people from a distance, "Oh no, someone is coming! ”
When everyone heard the news, they all hurriedly followed the third elder brother and ran towards the shouting place.
The shouting came from behind a rockery in the garden, and the palace maid who was shouting was so frightened that she ran in the direction where everyone ran in panic while shouting.
Xue Ning's eyes were sharp, and she recognized at a glance that the palace maid who shouted was her familiar sister Sister Ah Zi, no wonder the voice she heard just now was so familiar, and in a hurry, she didn't even distinguish that it was her.
"Sister Ah Zi, why are you?" Xue Ning saw that she was a familiar palace maid sister, so she ran forward and comforted her, "What happened? Where is the corpse?"
"It's Bing'er, Bing'er had an accident, she died behind the rockery, she died so miserably!" Ah Zi was terrified, with tears in her eyes, and pointed to a raised rockery not far away.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" The third elder brother was well-informed and not afraid of corpses, so he followed the palace guards who came in a hurry and walked towards the scene of the crime.
Zi Mo, Xue Ning and Ziyan couldn't be afraid at the moment, and in their doubts, they drove their legs and trembled to the place where the body was found.
Before they got close, Xue Ning, Zimo and Sister Ziyan had already relied on their keen sense of smell to feel a trace of an unusual but familiar smell wafting in the air, and that smell made the three demon foxes who had suffered life and death remember it very deeply, and they were unforgettable and afraid.
"There are wolf demons around, and I seem to smell wolf demons. Eighth Sister Ziyan took the lead in warning everyone.
As soon as the words fell, the third elder brother and Zi Mo, who were already close to him, stumbled back a few steps, but the two of them finally saw the miserable appearance of the corpse.
The palace maid named Bing'er seemed to have been dead for an hour or two, and her body was lying on her back behind a tall rockery, and there were trees and flowers in front of her, and if she hadn't deliberately searched for it, she would definitely not have found her body here. The corpse was the same as the corpse of the victim who died of the wolf demon's poison found in the suburbs, there were two holes in the neck, the blood around the deceased seemed to have been sucked up by the wolf demon, and the exposed skin of the whole body was gray, and the deceased's eyes widened in horror, looking hollowly ahead, as if she had seen something terrifying before she died.
"It's a wolf demon, it's really a wolf demon, but how could a wolf demon appear in the palace?" Zimo couldn't help but look at the third elder brother, and asked in surprise and horror.
"Could it be that the wolf demon is demonstrating to us? We destroyed his lair and rescued Sister Ziyan, he was lucky to escape, but he did not repent, and had the audacity to sneak into the palace and kill and punish us?" Zimo also felt that things were a little strange.
"I'm sure this is indeed the wolf demon's doing, but in the inner courtyard of this palace, there is a murderous wolf demon, and it spreads out, but I am afraid that the entire palace will become a pot of porridge.
What is the intention of the wolf demon when he came to the palace? Is it really as Zimo said, to warn us for murder and revenge? But I feel that this matter is not so simple, there must be something strange hidden in it. Xue Ning frowned and said analytically. Because long before this casualty incident, she had already encountered that strange wolf demon in the palace at night, and it seemed that the wolf demon was not the first time to be active in the palace.
The few of them talked in low voices, and did not disturb others.
The palace attendants who came because of the shouting sound, and the messengers who investigated the case, were busy beside them, and Ah Zi was also called over to be questioned because he had discovered the victim first. Because her good sister was killed by the wolf demon, Ah Ziren was a bold girl, and she couldn't bear such a big blow, and she kept crying again and again throughout the whole process of hearing the news.
Xue Ning and the others listened to the miserable cry, and their hearts were sad and uneasy.
"Shameless wolf demon, last time he let him escape, I didn't expect him to be unrepentant, intensified, ran to the palace to harm innocent lives, and when I go back, I will tell my uncle, I must let him take more people and horses, enter the mountain again, and vow to cut down the wolf demon and his accomplices, and wipe them out. ”
The third elder brother was kind-hearted, and he was particularly angry and depressed when he saw another poor girl die in the forbidden land of this palace, and besides, the dead girl and Xue Ning were both good sisters who lived together. For the sake of his friends, this wild wolf demon must not sit idly by.
Xue Ning, Eighth Sister and Zimo hated the wolf demon in their hearts, and they were also thinking about countermeasures in their hearts.
After the third elder brother took the eighth sister to see Xue Ning, considering the complicated situation in the palace, he didn't dare to stay, so he left the palace with Zimo and the eighth sister, and hurried to Dali Temple to find his uncle.
However, Dali Siqing is not a wasted institution, someone has already reported the murder in the palace, and when the third elder brother hurried to his uncle's office, he saw Dali Siqing contemplating his eyebrows, thinking about the case.
He paced around the room anxiously, his brows furrowed, and when he saw the third elder brother coming, he immediately understood his intentions.
"I know you're here to urge me to solve the case, I already know about the tragedy in the palace, and the victim died in the same way as the other cases I'm pursuing. It seems that it was all done by the same wolf demon. In addition, the palace is already heavily guarded, and they are searching all suspicious corners to prevent the wolf demon from harming people again. ”
"Uncle, since you have locked up the perpetrators, what are you waiting for, hurry up and take your men and horses, and then make an appointment with the leader of the alien race, and go into the mountains to capture the wolf demon together, is it possible that Uncle are you waiting for this wolf demon to harm other people's lives in the palace again?"
"Third elder brother, it's not that I'm not in a hurry to catch the wolf demon, it's just that this accident in the palace makes me feel very unusual, how a wild wolf demon who fights in the mountains and takes people's lives, how to hide in the palace and take people's lives, there must be an ulterior secret hidden here. It's just that for a moment and a half, I can't find the slightest clue.
At present, only by arresting the wolf demon as soon as possible and interrogating him strictly can he know the truth.
I'll take people to round up the wolf demon, and try to catch this harmful goblin as soon as possible. Dali Siqing didn't care about the chaos in his heart, so he just picked up the most important thing in front of him to do.
"Uncle, I still want to participate in this round-up of the Wild Wolf Demon Family!" The third elder brother experienced the last capture of the wolf demon, and was very interested in this kind of activity that was close to the excitement and could get out of the inner garden of the deep palace.
"Third elder brother, this time must not, the last time you saw with your own eyes, the wild wolf demon was extremely fierce and cunning, in order to escape, he did not hesitate to use people's lives as a shield, and the wild wolf demon was extremely dangerous and abnormal, you are a brother, you must not risk your life, otherwise, if there is a mistake, I will not be able to explain to the emperor and the queen. Dali Siqing shook his head and waved his hand again and again, unwilling to follow the third elder brother.
"No, no, I must go this time, my uncle won't let me go, I'll hold you, and you won't be allowed to leave here. Seeing that his uncle had made up his mind, the third elder brother seemed to be difficult to persuade him, so he simply played a child's temperament, he ran to his uncle, dragged his uncle's arm, and kept shaking, making Dali Siqing confused, and helpless.
"That's it, I'll take you there, it's just one thing, you and your friends must walk behind the line, obey the command, and don't act recklessly. ”
When the third elder brother heard this, he immediately smiled, and hurriedly let go of his uncle's wrist, and said with a deep salute, "Chenhua thanks my uncle, and I will follow my uncle's teachings!"
This one made Dali Siqing unbearable, he angrily and funny pulled up the third elder brother, and counted him down lovingly, "You, don't condescend to salute the courtiers casually, what I can't afford is that you are a child who is naughty and used to playing wantonly, there are rules in the palace in this palace, and we still have to obey the rules as courtiers." ”
Dali Siqing said it righteously and seriously, but when the third elder brother heard it, it was insignificant, like a cloud of smoke, and it would be forgotten in an instant.
In order to capture the wild wolf demon as soon as possible, Dali Siqing ordered all the people, took the third elder brother and Zimo and others, and set off immediately.
That Xue Ning's eighth sister, because she wanted to kill the enemy herself, begged a lot, and quietly mixed into the queue and followed everyone towards the suburbs.
