In fact, there is no need to be anxious, in this huge sect master's mansion, there are hundreds of servants and maids alone, not to mention the strong little servants and soldiers, etc., there are countless of them. There are many people, and there are even more people with infinite curiosity.

The little girl Huayue was ordered to deliver food to Zhou Yu, and she went for almost an hour, Ling'er, as one of the best girls in the house, was unwilling to let go of such a lazy and slippery girl, so she went to the firewood room to check with her skirt and sideburns.

Ling'er wanted to catch Huayue for a lazy situation, and then give it to Mother Zhong to reprimand a few words, but she didn't think about it, the door of the firewood room was wide open, quiet, and I didn't know what was going on.

Ling'er was a little unhappy, Hua Yue was just lazy to deliver food, and even Shoucai, the person in charge of guarding the prisoners, also went to steal away?

Ling'er remembered the scene of Yuan Xi and Imperial Physician Wang sitting opposite each other in the study, and their eyebrows were frowning, as if a soldier was pressing the realm. couldn't help but snort softly, this shoucai, together with Huayue, has to be taught a good lesson.

She stepped into the firewood room with her front foot, and felt a breath of blood rushing to her face, and the smell of fishy sweetness choked people's stomachs. The person who was crawling on the ground didn't know what he was doing, looking at the clothes, it seemed to be Zhou Yu. Ling'er was startled, and her body hit the door panel as soon as she was crooked.

Zhou Yu's body was covered with blood, and when the cold wind blew, it was already frozen to a layer of ice crystals.

Although Ling'er is in the prince's palace and has seen many big worlds, after all, she is still a girl's family, and she is inevitably afraid when she sees the dead. This fear, even his hands and feet softened, and he wanted to call someone, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

She turned to run, but hit her head on a fleshy chest. As soon as Ling'er raised her eyes, she saw that it was Shou Cai, who was shocked, and asked with a smile, "Where is Sister Ling Er?"

Ling'er couldn't speak, and tried her best to push Shoucai, but Shoucai's body was like a wall, blocking Ling'er's way. Ling'er was a little surprised when he saw that he refused to get out of the way, how could these subordinates dare to bump into him today without a head or a brain?

As soon as Shoucai looked up and saw Zhou Yu's body, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister Ling'er, Zhou Yu is a prisoner named by the sect master to guard, I just went for convenience, why did you kill people? How do you tell me to explain to the sect master?"

Shoucai said, couldn't help but say, grabbed Ling'er's wrist, and sent it to Yuanxi with a pull.

Yuan Xi was also discussing with the imperial physician Tu Boan in the study how to escort Zhou Yu into Beijing, for fear of getting in the way with the prince. It's okay to kill a Li De, he's just a small character, Xiao Rongshen will never openly shout at himself for such a person, but Zhou Yu is different, he is still a nominal party member after all, if Xiao Rongshen doesn't make something about him, he must be stupid.

Shoucai didn't even knock on the door, so he crashed in with a bang, and put Ling'er on the ground with a loose hand.

Everyone was startled, Tu Boan pulled out half of his sword, and shouted: "Bastard, what are you, can you break in here too?"

Wang Nianen looked down and saw that it was Ling'er, and couldn't help but glance at Yuan Xi. Ling'er was so frightened that she just cried, and she screamed that she was wronged.

Wang Nianen said coldly: "Keep money, you are also presumptuous, even Mother Zhong has to smile at Miss Ling, how many catties and taels do you have, how dare you be rude to Miss Ling in front of the sect master?"

Shoucai arched his hand and knelt on the ground: "Back to the words of the sect master and the adults, it is not the villain Meng Lang, it is really a big matter, the villain is afraid that the sky will be stabbed, so he grabbed the girl Ling to talk back, and I hope the sect master will forgive me for the abrupt place." ”

Yuan Xi saw Ling'er crying, pear blossom with rain, and couldn't help feeling distressed in his heart, but with a few subordinates, his face was still unfazed, he took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his palms, and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"

Shoucai glanced at Ling Er sideways and said, "If you go back to the sect master, the big thing is not good, and the girl Ling killed Zhou Yu." ”

"What?!" Wang Nianen and Tu Boan instantly bounced up from the stool and grabbed Shoucai: "What you said is true?"

Shoucai nodded: "Back to the adult's words, the villain has sniffed, Zhou Yu is indeed dead!"

Tu Boan lost his voice and said, "Sect Master, how is this good?"

Yuan Xi stared at Shoucai for a while: "Didn't I tell you to be optimistic about Zhou Yu? What did you do?"

Wang Nianen said urgently: "Sect Master, now is not the time to be held responsible, once the news of Zhou Yu's death in our mansion spreads, he and the prince must make waves in the court." ”

Yuan Xi raised his hand, signaling that they didn't have to say any more, just stared at Shoucai, and asked again: "Why did you go? Why don't you stop it?"

Shoucai's eyes were a little evasive, and he said, "The villain is in a hurry, so it's convenient to go." ”

Ling'er shook his head again and again: "It's not me, it's not me who killed it, when I arrive, the person will die." ”

Shoucai asked: "If I remember correctly, Mother Zhong said that the sect master Kurama has just returned to the house today, and the girl has been waiting by the sect master's side, for no reason, why did she suddenly go to the firewood room?"

Ling'er was speechless for a while, and cried: "Master, I went to find Huayue, Huayue went to deliver food to Zhou Yu, and she didn't return for a long time, I thought she was lazy, so I wanted to catch it and cure her lazy disease, who knew that as soon as I entered the firewood room, the door lock was wide open, not to mention, there was not even a person." At that time, Zhou Yu was already dead inside. ”

Shoucai said angrily: "Nonsense, Sister Ling, I saw you and Zhou Yu tearing in the room with my own eyes, and it was convenient for the villain to come back, and before the belt was fastened, I heard someone fighting in the firewood room." The villain was in a hurry, and just after he fastened his belt, he heard Zhou Yu screaming inside, and the villain was busy looking, but who knew that Zhou Yu had died inside. ”

Ling'er couldn't talk about him, just cried. When she entered the door, there was no one in the courtyard, and she couldn't even find anyone who could give her circumstantial evidence.

Shoucai saw that Ling'er couldn't explain clearly, and continued: "Qiyu Sect Master, the villain knows that Zhou Yu is a thorn in the sect master's heart, in the final analysis, this matter is not good for the villain's care, eighty percent is the villain's convenience, Zhou Yu covets the beauty of the girl, and he is tempted to lust, so that the girl is panicked, and it is not an exaggeration to kill him for a while." The sect wants to punish the girl, and the villain naturally has a responsibility, and the villain is willing to bear it. ”

Wang Nianen and Tu Boan knew that Ling'er was Yuanxi's personal maid, and the prince also looked down on the master, so he helped her speak at this time, which was naturally to please the master.

Tu Boan arched his hand and said: "Sect Master Qiqi, what this little slave said makes sense, if Zhou Yu covets the appearance of the Ling girl and wants to make the Ling girl suddenly, then even if the Ling girl misses and kills someone, it is forgivable, and I hope that the sect master will be lightly punished." ”

Wang Nianen frowned, if this sycophant was slapped on the horse's hooves, it would really be better not to shoot it. Killing people to pay off debts has been a matter of course since ancient times. Even if the sect master didn't want to deal with Ling'er, he really had to do it if he called Tu Bo'an's persuasion.

Wang Nianen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Sect Master Qiqi, Weichen thinks that Ling Girl is a weak woman, she has no power to restrain the chicken, how much ability can she kill Zhou Yu? Besides, even if it is really killed by Ling Girl, then there must be a struggle, you look at Ling Girl, she is neatly dressed, she has all the hairpins and rings, and there is not even a trace of blood on her body, where does this look like a sign of killing someone? According to Wei Chen, someone must have deliberately planted it!"

Tu Bo'an listened to Wang Nianen's words, and then realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly changed his words: "What Lord Wang said makes sense, but the general is not careful to observe, I am afraid that he has framed Miss Ling." ”

With this Wen Yiwu and two big men as a guarantee, Shoucai began to beat a small drum in his heart, it was really an official who crushed people to death, and Ling'er, who had a backer, was not comparable to him, a grass-headed subordinate.

Shoucai hurriedly kowtowed a few times: "Sect Master, the villain is not lying, if the Sect Master doesn't believe it, you can ask someone else, if you can find another person to testify to Miss Ling, the villain is willing to die!"

Yuan Xi looked at Shou Cai coldly for a while. The words of keeping money are clearly commanding their own army. If you can't find a witness, then you are shielding the murderer, and if you find a witness, you are looking for someone to frame me, and I am willing to admit it.

Yuan Xi threw the handkerchief in his hand and said, "Listen to what you mean, can you find a witness to testify for you?"

Shoucai was stunned for a moment, and it was not difficult to talk to smart people. Hurriedly said: "The flower moon next to the sect master may also have seen it, if the sect master doesn't believe it, he will call the flower moon to inquire." ”

Naturally, it is called to be called, but Huayue has been in the same breath with the tradition of keeping money, and the two of them have the same word. It is only said that when Zhou Yu died, only Ling'er was alone.

Yuan Xi glanced at Hua Yue, but she had picked herself clean.

"Ling'er said that it was because you were gone that she went to the firewood room to look for you. Tell me where you have been in the middle of this?"

Hua Yue glanced at Shoucai timidly, but did not answer. However, this glance can no longer be obvious, even a martial artist like Tu Boan can see that the two people are in love, and can't help but shout: "It's not good, these two evil obstacles must have adultery." ”

As soon as Tu Boan said this, Shoucai secretly applauded in his heart, the result he wanted was nothing more than that he went to a private meeting with Huayue, and was not at the scene of the killing. It was also because he was not in the firewood room that he gave Ling'er the opportunity to kill Zhou Yu. In this way, Sect Master Wei will punish him for the crime of negligence at most, nothing more.

Therefore, as soon as Tu Bo'an spoke, Shoucai pretended to be unwilling to admit his guilt to death, and said: "The sect master spares his life, the sect master must not believe what Master Tu said, the villain and Huayue are innocent." ”

Tu Boan said angrily: "If you are innocent, then where did Hua Yue go when she killed people just now? If you don't tell the truth, you two will be skinned and filed, and fried into clear oil!"

Hua Yue was stunned and fell into the arms of Shoucai.

Shoucai pretended to be afraid, pressed her head to the ground, and kowtowed to Yuan Xi: "Slave recruits, slaves recruit everything!" Slaves should die, slaves and Hua Yue have been in agreement for a long time, this time I saw Hua Yue come to deliver food, it was the villain who was tempted to see the color, and grabbed Hua Yue and kissed him in the room, and was negligent in his duties for a while, and hoped that the sect master would forgive his sins!"
