Chapter 5: Sleeping in the Villa for the Night.
As the night fell, Canglong Villa returned to its former tranquility.
All the guests were arranged to stay and went to the accommodation one by one to rest.
Lu Linger is no exception.
She was arranged to live next door to Xia Qiucicada in the West Wing.
Perhaps because of the continuous travel in the past few days, coupled with the fact that he had experienced dozens of battles, Lu Linger was already tired, came to the residence, hurriedly washed up and fell asleep.
But I saw the main hall of Canglong Villa, which was brightly lit.
Shen Henian sat in the first seat, Su Meixiang and Shen Canglan sat in the second or third seat under the first seat, talking about something.
After a long time, they slowly got up and left the main hall, and went back to their residences.
I don't know how long I slept, a cool breeze hit, Lu Ling'er woke up in vigilance, and a figure suddenly appeared outside the house.
Hurriedly got up, took his sword and chased after him, not wanting to chase all the way, but failed to catch up.
What she didn't know was that the location of the courtyard where she was at the moment was in front of Shen Henian's house.
Lu Ling'er stood in the courtyard and scanned the surroundings, trying to find a trace.
Not wanting to hear a call from the main house, Lu Ling'er didn't have time to think about it, and rushed into the house, only to see Shen Henian lying on the bed, looking at her with angry eyes, and stopped talking.
Lu Ling'er hurriedly stepped forward and called, "Uncle Shen, do you know who made the poison?" What do you want to say?"
Pointing to the window with his right hand, he called, "He...... He ......"
"Uncle Shen, what do you want to say?" Since Shen Henian's voice was very soft, Lu Ling'er had no choice but to lean over his ear, trying to hear what he said.
didn't want Shen Henian to be too seriously injured, so he grabbed Lu Ling'er's right hand, drew the word "one" in his palm, and tilted his head and died.
provoked Lu Linger to cry out loud:
"Lord Shen Zhuang ...... Uncle Shen ......"
Its sound is endless, endless.
At this time, a call came from outside Shen Henian's house:
"Quick, follow me into the owner's room, the owner has an accident......"
It was Su Meixiang who rushed to hear the news.
Unexpectedly, Su Meixiang entered the house and saw this situation, and shouted:
"Lu Ling'er, my Canglong Villa has no grievances or enmity with your Floating Shadow Gate, why do you want to kill our owner with such a poisonous hand?"
Seeing this, Lu Ling'er stopped calling, got up slowly, turned around, and looked at Su Meixiang with a puzzled expression:
"Steward Su, what did you say, I killed Lord Shen, what are your credentials?"
"Lu Ling'er, in the middle of the night, you don't stay in your room, what did you do here? Besides, your room is in the west wing, and the owner is in the east wing, the two places are nearly a mile apart, you say that you are not a murderer, how can this be explained?"
Su Meixiang said when she heard this.
After listening to Su Meixiang's words, Lu Linger realized that she had fallen for someone else's trick.
It turned out that the figure deliberately led her here, just to blame her for killing Lord Shen.
Unnoticed, she fell into the trap of others.
"What's the matter? No words? Come on, take down Lu Ling'er for me first!"
Seeing this, Su Meixiang commanded.
"Wait!"
Seeing this, Lu Ling'er hurriedly called.
"Lu Ling'er, what else do you have to say?"
When Su Meixiang heard this, she looked disdainful.
"Steward Su, I was lured here. I heard a call from inside the house, so I broke down the door, and when I came in, I saw the owner of Shen Zhuang lying on the bed and dying......"
Seeing this, Lu Linger had no choice but to tell what happened one by one.
"Hehe, Lu Ling'er, you can't be a three-year-old child? You said that you were lured here, what about that person? I'm afraid you won't even believe what you say, right?"
Su Meixiang said when she heard this, obviously not believing Lu Linger's heartfelt words.
Without waiting for Lu Ling'er to reply, Shen Canglan, Mr. Mu, Xia Qiucian and others hurriedly arrived.
Seeing this, Shen Canglan stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of his father's bed, and cried bitterly:
"Daddy, the child has just come back, why can you bear to leave the child and go west alone?"
His voice was grief-stricken and could not be silenced.
After a long time, Shen Canglan stopped crying, slowly got up, and asked:
"What the hell is going on?"
Without waiting for Lu Ling'er to reply, Su Meixiang took the lead:
"Young owner, it's Lu Ling'er, it's Lu Ling'er who killed the owner......"
"Lu Ling'er, let me ask me that Canglong Villa has no grievances or enmity with your Floating Shadow Gate, why do you want to seek this move? Kill my father? Why?"
When Shen Canglan heard this, he couldn't help but yell at Lu Ling'er.
"Shen Gongzi, it's not me, it's really not my ......"
Facing the questioning of Shen Canglan, who was blinded by hatred, Lu Ling'er was frightened to retreat one after another.
"Yes, you say it's not you, do you have proof?"
Shen Canglan's aggressive words made Lu Ling'er unavoidable for a while.
She didn't expect that the next scene would make her words even weaker and more vulnerable.
"Young owner, come and see, the owner of the village was injured to death by the sword qi......"
Su Meixiang came to Shen Henian's corpse while the two of them were talking, and after carefully examining the corpse, she saw that there was a slender sword wound on the owner's neck, and there was no other wound.
Shen Canglan and Lu Ling'er stepped forward when they heard this.
Shen Canglan could see at a glance that his father's wound was almost the same as Du Shaoping's wound in front of the Qingping Inn.
Turning to Lu Ling'er, he said coldly:
"Lu Ling'er, what else do you have to say now?"
Seeing this, Lu Ling'er knew that this person had premeditated, so she imitated her swordsmanship by seven or eight layers.
Seeing this, Lu Ling'er said intermittently:
"This ...... This ......"
In the face of "mountains of ironclad evidence", it is useless for her to say anything at the moment.
She just didn't understand that this person was so deliberately blaming her for the crime of killing Shen Henian, was it just to provoke the feud between the Floating Shadow Gate and Canglong Villa?
Without waiting for Lu Ling'er to think about it, she heard Shen Canglan's order:
"Come on, take down the murderer Lu Ling'er for me!"
Seeing this, Lu Linger hurriedly said:
"Shen Gongzi, this matter is really not Lu Ling'er's doing, but I am also responsible for the death of Lord Shen, so no matter what, I will personally find out the real culprit, return my innocence, and avenge Lord Shen's hatred. ”
Lu Ling'er didn't wait for the guards to gather together, and after speaking, he hurriedly broke out of the window and fled away from Canglong Villa.
I saw that Xia Qiucia took the initiative to ask for help, and led the guards to chase after him in a hurry.
At this time, I don't know who said:
"Let's see if "Vicissitudes" is still there!"
Shen Canglan and Su Meixiang hurriedly searched the house, but they didn't see any trace of "Canglan Decision".
provoked Su Meixiang to take a step, and sighed:
"Young Zhuang Master, "Canglan Decision" must have been taken by Lu Linger's little girl!"
Seeing this, Shen Canglan did not rush to speak, but carefully investigated the situation in the house, and then ordered:
"Someone came, put the body of the owner of the village into the burial and put it in the main hall of the East Wing Pavilion. ”
I saw six guards hurriedly step forward, put Shen Henian's body into the burial, and then carried it out of the east wing room and went to the east wing pavilion.
Su Meixiang and Shen Canglan led the guests out of the east wing room and came to the courtyard.
Only smell Su Meixiang as a salute:
"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's rest! Please rest on time tonight, and go down to the village early tomorrow morning!"
Seeing this, all the guests wanted to say something, but when they heard Su Meixiang's words, they also dispersed one after another and went to their respective accommodations.
Su Meixiang saw that the others were walking away, so she asked Shen Canglan to go to the main hall with herself.
