Chapter 160: Suspicious
The Danzhen Palace fell into silence unusually, and the doctors did not dare to squeak with serious faces, and stayed outside to stop the others, only the young Qiao Yu faced the corpse of the woman on the stone table alone, and sighed regretfully.
He didn't know this woman, but earlier in the day today, he heard the sick people jokingly mention Feng Siniang, saying that she and Xiao Pavilion Master fought for a male favorite, which attracted many onlookers in the street market outside, and he was still secretly surprised, how could Xiao Pavilion Lord, who had always acted indifferently, fall into this strange gossip, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, there was amazing bad news outside, Feng Siniang was quietly killed near Tianzheng Mansion.
Under the already bizarre rumors, this unbelievable death undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and caused the whole city to be heard.
Qiao Yu's eyes changed in an instant, stretched out his hand to check carefully, his body was still warm, his expression was calm like a sleeping corpse, judging from the other party's gorgeous clothes and excellent skin, it was indeed a noble background in the imperial capital, but she had several sword wounds on her body, which should have been left not long ago, and the wounds had not healed completely, she should have experienced a lot of fighting, what kind of identity did a noble woman hide to leave this kind of injury?
There are not many things about Feng Siniang in the imperial capital, and she doesn't seem to be in Tianyu City very often, and occasionally comes back to indulge in the land of Fengyue, and she is a woman with a very bad reputation.
His gaze gradually converged on one place, the real fatal wound was only one in the chest, piercing his body, and the bright red blood stains stained the placket of his clothes like a blooming flower, how could he still maintain such a gentle smile under such a fatal blow?
It's as if this person already knew everything, and still chose to accept the result calmly, when he heard the patient mention this person, he was still guessing that she should be an arrogant and domineering woman, not easy to mess with, no matter how you think about it, she can't be a person who will be caught without resistance in the face of death.
The door was gently knocked, and Qiao Yu's complicated thoughts were also pulled back to the moment, he rubbed his eyes puzzled, opened the door a thin slit, and glanced out.
"Palace Master, Old Man Feng has arrived. Doctor Zhao spoke cautiously, and pointed behind him secretly, Qiao Yu followed his gaze and looked over, and sure enough, he saw a white-haired old man sitting in the back hall, his face was calm and he couldn't see his current emotions, his hands were on his laps, and there was a cane next to the chair, Doctor Zhao hurriedly answered, pointed to the corpse on the stone table, and reminded in a low voice, " You haven't been in office for a long time, I guess you haven't seen the old man of the Feng family, the old man was originally the minister of the Mo Pavilion, the imperial seal was too guarded, and he had already resigned and went home many years ago to recuperate, he was Feng Siniang's father. ”
"White-haired people send black-haired people, pitiful. Qiao Yu muttered a sentence in his mouth, and Doctor Zhao sighed regretfully, "The old man usually raises birds and flowers, and his youngest daughter was assassinated eight years ago, and the old lady couldn't stand the stimulation and followed, who knew that this kind of thing would happen again, hey." ”
"Eight years ago?" Qiao Yu's eyes purred, as if he realized something, grabbed Dr. Zhao's hand and asked in a low voice, "What happened eight years ago, tell me about it!"
"You don't know this?" Doctor Zhao was stunned, and couldn't help but blurt out in surprise, "Didn't Master Qiao mention such a big thing to you?" Eight years ago, the Tianzheng Mansion was destroyed, and the pavilion master's wife is the youngest daughter of the Feng family!"
"Huh?" Qiao Yu opened his mouth wide, his eyes changed slightly, he was even more surprised than Doctor Zhao, he naturally knew about the Tianzheng Mansion extermination case, but the fact that the mother of the Xiao Pavilion Lord was the daughter of the Feng family, it was the first time he had heard of it!
Qiao Yu was secretly frightened, in this way, the Lord of Xiao Pavilion was still the grandson of Old Man Feng? Such a close relationship, in a place like the imperial capital, where the party and private interests were the most serious, how could he never be mentioned by anyone?
His afterglow involuntarily glanced at Feng Siniang, and he was also obviously puzzled-she was found near the Tianzheng Mansion, and she only had a conflict with the Xiao Pavilion Lord this morning, so there wouldn't be any complicated cause and effect here, right?
It's not his job to investigate the case, but if you put everything in the chain together, it always makes people feel faintly uneasy.
Is it really such a coincidence? Or is it ...... What's hidden?
"Little Ancestor, you better take care of the matter at hand first, I estimate that it won't be long before a few more people come, you hurry up and check how Feng Siniang died!" Doctor Zhao shook him off complainingly, and looked at the curious young man beside him slightly, Qiao Yu just pursed his mouth casually and shrugged his shoulders, "What else needs to be checked for such an obvious cause of death?" At a glance, it can be seen that she was pierced through the chest by a thorn-like weapon, and shattered along with her heart and ribs, and died quickly without any pain......
"You, you, you ......" Doctor Zhao covered his mouth, and regardless of the eyes of Xue Liang who was looking at him behind him, he quickly persuaded, "You must not say it so directly for a while, do you know it tactfully?"
Qiao Yu was gagged by him, so he had to blink his eyes, and then Doctor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and complained in a low voice: "The medical skills at a young age are indeed amazing, but your straightforward and fast-talking temperament should also be accepted, don't think that if you don't kill people, you won't be able to offend people, and the disaster will come from your mouth!
"Got it, got it. Qiao Yu responded impatiently, and said sullenly, "After a while, everyone will be invited to the front hall together, and I will come later." "Jin Yong Chinese
He locked the door of the room with his backhand, and finally checked it again, if it was just from the perspective of a healer, there was indeed nothing to delve into, but the overly quiet expression on the other party's face always made him a little puzzled, this was not like he had felt severe pain before he died, could it be that someone deliberately relieved the pain for her?
Qiao Yu chuckled in his heart, his head was so irritable that he was about to crack, he raised his hand to press the scar on the corpse's chest, and sure enough, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked for his medicine boy all over the room: "Alain, Alain!"
"Where are you!" The little medicine boy was still holding a knife in his hand, and he didn't know where he came out of nowhere, and quickly wiped the fine sweat on his face, and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter with the palace master calling me?"
"You take my token to the Moon Tower and invite the Moon Saintess over. ”
"Huh?" Alan reluctantly tiptoed, glanced cautiously at his palace master, and muttered, "No, can you not go?"
"No! go!" Qiao Yu scolded, and when he saw the little medicine boy, he immediately changed his sad face and wanted to cry.
Qiao Yu sighed secretly, frowning slightly, he is a doctor, he doesn't know anything about magic, he can only ask the holy woman of the Star Palace for help, if Feng Siniang was really deliberately relieved of the pain before she died, then she is very likely to die at the hands of an acquaintance, or even commit suicide!
But the Star Palace is also a big deal this time, the main palace is a monster earth bound spirit, and the Star Saintess used the forbidden art to paralyze all the troops stationed in the forbidden army, and the two Fazhu were killed one after another, and no one is willing to take over this hot potato at the moment, and I don't know what kind of punishment the saint will do, and now even the remaining day saints and moon saints have been ostracized, and it is no wonder that even a little medicine boy of his own is unwilling to go over to find someone.
Alan hung his head, and didn't dare to talk back to the palace master, so he had to put down the medicine tray in his hand and ran out first, he lowered his head and didn't even look at the road, he hit Feng Sanniang head-on, Alan staggered and touched his forehead and took a few steps back, without waiting for him to apologize, he was greeted by a stern reprimand: "Don't you walk with long eyes? Rampage, it's not that you are dead, so anxious to be reincarnated?"
"I'm sorry!" Alain immediately bent down and bowed, although he was young, he already knew how to survive in the imperial capital.
Feng Sanniang pushed him away angrily, ran to Master Feng in a hurry, and turned her head to look at the closed door, her eyes turned red instantly, and her tears couldn't help but fall.
"Sit down first, what about your two brothers?" Master Feng comforted his daughter extremely coldly, Feng Sanniang held back her sobbing voice with her breathing, and said in a low voice, "The lecture hall has just finished class, and someone has been sent to inform you, and it will be a little later, Dad...... Fourth sister, what the hell is the fourth sister ......"
"Let's wait for Palace Master Qiao to come out. Master Feng interrupted her words, his eyes stared through Feng Sanniang and fell outside the door, and suddenly took a deep breath, seeing the sudden appearance of such an expression on his father's face, Feng Sanniang immediately realized something, and also put away his grief and turned around silently.
Xiao Qianye stood by the door, and grabbed Alan who was about to go out with one hand.
Feng Sanniang stared at him vigilantly, and then caught a glimpse of the woman in white standing side by side beside him, and snorted coldly: "Aliens? Good nephew, you are really different, so you abolished the ban that aliens are not allowed to enter the city, and you openly brought a foreign-born woman in and out, right?"
Xiao Qianye ignored her and walked straight to Master Feng, but he only bowed slightly, using the courtesy of a courtier, and said politely: "Taishougong, the control of the imperial capital has been temporarily handed over to the military cabinet to deal with, and this matter will also be investigated by the military cabinet to the end, please rest assured." ”
When Master Feng heard him say this, he smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, and shook his head: "Where is this, although I am your grandfather according to my seniority, but according to the official position, the Lord of the Xiao Pavilion is in the position of the marshal, and it is not a person of our status who can climb high, and the matter of Li'er is still asking the Lord of the Xiao Pavilion to bother more." ”
"Daddy......" Feng Sanniang was a little unhappy, although she lowered her voice, and saw the stern gaze in her father's eyes, she had to turn her head in annoyance and stop looking at him.
Xiao Qianye lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, this kind of conversation was what he expected, this was what he had in his impression of being too guarded, when Taishi Gong was still working in the ink pavilion when he was a child, he had met a few times on the way home from class in the lecture hall, and the old man would deliberately stop and look at him for a while every time, but he never said a word to him, just like a familiar stranger.
In this way, all his impressions of his grandfather were the lonely figure that looked at him in the distance on the way home at dusk.
