Chapter 500: Murder in the Dead of Night (10)
"Don't you want to arrest me and go back to the court, don't think about it! The old lady would rather die than go back to the land of tigers and wolves with you!" After roaring hoarsely, Dai Chun went crazy and stabbed the short knife at Gou Ruobai, who was closest to him.
The incident happened suddenly, and Gou Ruobai didn't have time to dodge at all, so Gu Huaiyan threw away the steamed bun in his hand.
The soft steamed bun only crooked Dai Chun's arm, and although the knife did not stab Gou Ruobai's vital point, it still cut his arm and oozing blood.
Meng Shaomu on the side quickly put on a pure uniform, and Gou Ruobai trotted to Gu Huaiyan's side and hugged him: "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life, Ruobai is unforgettable." ”
Gu Huaiyan politely returned him with a smile: "There is no need to thank you for your efforts." Quickly go back to the room and bandage the wound, there are so many people here, the murderer will never be able to escape. ”
As soon as Gou Ruobai left on his front foot, Meng Shaomu captured Dai Chun to where Xiao Wuxian was: "Big brother, now that the real murderers have been caught, what should we do with them?"
After turning his head to see Dai Chun kneeling on the ground, he knelt beside her very distressed, and forcefully broke Meng Shaomu's hand holding her shoulder, and accused everyone angrily.
"Why do you say that Dai Chun is a murderer, have any of you seen her kill with your own eyes? What can a single rouge prove, a woman can apply rouge, why don't you suspect other women? Why don't you suspect Boss Cheng'......?"
It's a pity that before the words of the silver inlay were finished, Cheng Ci threw out a short knife and cut off the tendons in his hand, and he fell to the ground and screamed in pain.
At the same time, the dagger he hid in his sleeve also fell to the ground, and everyone understood Cheng Ci's good intentions. It turned out that he saw through the inlaid silver and wanted to assassinate Xiao Wuxian, so he came to help.
After thanking Cheng Ci, Xiao Wuxian stretched out his hand and clicked on the two silver-inlaid acupoints regardless of his previous suspicions: "Be honest! If you don't want to die, it's best to give me obediently and don't move." ”
After the pain gradually subsided, the inlaid silver looked at Cheng Ci with extremely vicious and hostile eyes.
After thinking of the guest who had his palm cut off yesterday for molesting Cheng Ci, Zhao Daliang didn't forget to fall into the well: "Just picking off the tendons and veins on your hand without abolishing your entire palm, Boss Cheng is already merciful to you, is it a little inappropriate for you to look at your benefactor with this kind of eyes?"
"I'm sorry, you'd better get away from Lao Tzu!" With that, the inlaid silver hurriedly hid the bloody arm on his back, and after Zhao Daliang's reminder, he remembered the guest who died yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart, at least he was still alive and didn't lose any body organs.
After experiencing the incident just now, Dai Chun no longer dared to fight hard, but he could only carry it and deny it: "Lord Commander, let me say again that I haven't killed anyone one last time! That rouge trace is not left by me! Please don't wronged innocent good people." ”
Xiao Wuxian has been an official for many years, and it is not the first time he has met such a difficult prisoner, so he is very patient: "Okay, since this is the case, I will convince you." ”
Soon, he asked Xiang Yang, Fang Pu, Cheng Ci and other women to take out all the rouge used and compare them one by one, and even the Taoyao lady who was sleeping peacefully in the room was shouted.
"No need to pay it back!" After throwing the rouge into Xiao Wuxian's hand with a displeased face, for fear that he would go through the old accounts and find trouble for himself, Tao Yao Niangzi turned around and left.
"Wait!" Xiao Wuxian put his sword across her chest in time: "I want to ask the lady to do something for me, there are five boxes of rouge on this table, can you help me distinguish their origin and variety?"
The Taoyao lady immediately conjured up a smiling face, and did not forget to touch Xiao Wuxian's shoulder to make a profit, and then pursed her lips and smiled very delicately: "Okay...... As long as you don't arrest me, you can do anything. Isn't it just to distinguish rouge? I'm the best at it. ”
Inlaid silver and Dai Chun panicked at once, because there was no one here who liked to dress up more, and she only needed to look at those rouges to distinguish the type of variety.
Under everyone's gaze, a beautiful woman in red gauze divided the five boxes of rouge into three parts with her slender hand: "The box on the left is the best color I use, and it costs five hundred taels of silver to buy it! ”
After slowly moving her fingers to the box of rouge at the end, Tao Yao Niangzi couldn't help laughing and said: "This kind of rouge is not worthy of being put on the table at all, and even the rouge used by the maids of large families to serve their masters is several times better than this." ”
"Is this cheap?" Xiao Wuxian deliberately pretended not to understand, in fact, he really didn't understand very well, but he could tell the difference just by the fineness of the rouge box.
Tao Yao Niangzi continued to explain: "This kind of rouge is very cheap, you can buy a box for a few dollars of silver, but it is also suitable for those poor women to use for makeup, cheap is barely its biggest advantage! ”
"In other words, compared to the other four boxes of rouge, this box of rouge is the easiest to get on clothes, right?"
Lady Taoyao nodded, and Xiao Wuxian dragged her to the gold-inlaid corpse: "Please help me identify the rouge on the gold-inlaid clothes again." ”
Lady Taoyao rolled her eyes helplessly: "What else do you recognize...... Whether it is the color or the category, it is exactly the same as the box of cheap rouge on the far right. ”
"Now that you have Mrs. Lao, you can go back to your room to rest. ”
After seeing the Taoyao lady return to the room, Xiao Wuxian held the four remaining boxes of rouge and handed them to the girls one by one to collect, and in the end, only the cheapest box of rouge and Dai Chun, who had not claimed rouge, were left in his hand.
After gently putting the rouge in front of Dai Chun, Xiao Wuxian asked sharply: "Until now, do you still want to deny that you didn't kill the gold?"
At the moment of evidence, Dai Chun no longer denied it, just closed his eyes with a sigh, and said slowly: "He's just a bastard...... A bastard who shouldn't have lived in this world for a long time. ”
"Xiao Dai, why do you have to admit that you are the murderer of my brother...... Yesterday, we didn't talk about everything, if the plan is discovered, everything will be borne by me alone, you only need to be responsible for rushing to the golden nest to grab the treasure......"
The distraught Dai Chun shook his head vigorously: "Brother Ayin, stop deceiving yourself...... If people don't know the truth that they can't do unless they do anything, don't you understand it?"
"Xiao Dai, it's all my incompetence that has affected you. ”
