Feeling her nervousness and panic, Ji Haitang smiled at her very naturally: "Don't be afraid, I'm by your side!"

This sentence completely angered Xiaolian, and she was full of grievances and unconvinced. She even forgot that she was just a slave now, and ran to Meng'er with a loud shout, and raised her hand to give a resounding slap.

Although Meng'er was a victim, she unexpectedly apologized to Xiaolian: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made you angry......"

Obviously, Xiaolian didn't expect Meng'er to be so weak and incompetent, and her arrogance became more and more arrogant: "You shameless little vixen, how did your father and mother teach you? Can you pull the hand of a man other than your father, brother and husband so casually?"

The impatient Ji Haitang frowned very unhappily: "Yifan, get rid of this barking dog for me, I need to calm my ears!"

As soon as these words came out, the two women quieted down, and Xiaolian suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and instinctively wanted to run away but was smashed by Ji Yifan's palm.

She didn't even have time to leave her last words, so she buried her youth in her own ignorance. It is true that the heart is higher than the sky and the life is thinner than paper.

There was a loud "bang", and Xiaolian's body fell to the ground like that, falling in front of Meng'er. Although the person had lost his breath, a pair of dead eyes were aimed at Meng'er impartially.

Meng'er was very uncomfortable in those eyes, her heart was beating faster and faster, her breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and after a few big gasps, she was unconscious.

When she finally opened her eyes, she was already in an unfamiliar environment, lying on a soft bed.

She rolled her eyes slightly, and the murderer's face appeared in front of her without warning, so frightened that she screamed and hurriedly pulled the quilt up on her body.

Meng'er's appearance really made Ji Yifan feel angry and funny, and couldn't help but joke: "What are you shaking, I'm not a devil, is it so scary?"

Stunned for a long time, Meng'er nodded vigorously, but shook her head at a very fast speed, and said the word "don't dare" in a very small voice.

Ji Yifan laughed and said, "Don't you dare, don't you dare, don't you dare to be afraid of me?"

Meng'er stopped talking, but Ji Haitang walked slowly to the bed. Without saying a word, he looked like two people as usual, because his eyes flashed with an extremely rare tenderness.

Even so, the person on the bed still staggered to the ground in fear, and whispered, "Meng'er see the young master." ”

From beginning to end, she didn't dare to look up at anyone, both as a disguise for human instruction, but also partly from human instinct. In the short time that she came to Pinjinwo, what she heard the most was Ji Haitang's cold-blooded and ruthless rumors.

After a long time, I listened to it more...... Even if she hadn't met him in person, Mon'er was convinced of it.

After instructing Ji Yifan to help her up, Ji Haitang said leisurely: "Meng'er, this name is really good! From now on, you will be the housekeeper of the nest of paradise in the world." ”

For this sudden "grace", Meng'er was neither flattered nor overjoyed, but just stood in place, with an expression more like she was listening to something that had nothing to do with it.

After Ji Yifan reminded him repeatedly, Meng Er stammered five or six words "I" in a row, but there was no follow-up.

Ji Haitang just pointed to the bed and smiled: "This was originally the room where Xiao'er lived, and you fainted very suddenly, so you were sent here nearby." ”

Hearing this, Meng'er nodded very sensibly: "Thank you young master for your love, Meng'er is grateful." ”

"Since you are already the housekeeper here, move out of your original residence and go to a new room!" After saying this, Ji Haitang took out a key from his waist and handed it to Ji Yifan: "Take her to the room opposite the eldest lady to live, and you must take good care of our housekeeper." ”

When he was the only one left in the room, Ji Haitang sighed for no reason. In the end, he saw things and thought about people, and two faces kept flashing in his mind.

One is Shan Qin'er, and the other is Taoyao Niangzi...... Actually, it's all the same person.

Yang Tian let out a long roar, Ji Haitang covered his chest and began to talk to himself: "Why did the people I love leave me in the end, what did I do wrong?"

After that, he shifted his gaze to the rouge box in front of the dresser: "You really want to completely cut off contact with me, and you didn't even take your favorite rouge with you...... You don't have our memories with you!"

Holding it in his hand and observing it carefully, Lou Shenghao smiled bitterly: "You are gone, and Shuang'er is also gone...... If you still have a little bit of love for me, Shuang'er only has gratitude and guilt for me, and now I am afraid that I have added a hatred.

I really wanted to kill Lou Shenghao, but I couldn't. Because his father and mother are the saviors of our father and son, without them there would be no us...... Because my father left a will on his deathbed that made me bow to him for the rest of my life......"

After saying this, Ji Haitang, who has always been cold-blooded and stern, actually slipped a tear from the corner of his eye.

In the inn baptized by the wind and sand, the No. 1 room of Tianzi once again gathered four people, including Gu Huaiyan, Ruan Zhinan, Lou Shenghao and Mu Hanshuang.

The atmosphere was very weird, Mu Hanshuang stared at Ruan Zhinan for a long time, and then said in a bland tone: "Please take good care of your body, because your life was exchanged for sacrificing my Xiao Lou." ”

Soon after he woke up, Gu Huaiyan told him what had happened word for word. Although he was poisoned by Mu Hanshuang, Ruan Zhinan was still grateful to her and Lou Shenghao for saving their lives, and was even more moved by Mu Hanshuang's great maternal love.

After making a serious guarantee, Ruan Zhinan added in time: "Miss Mu, thank you for your generosity and help with Emperor Zun, Zhinan will never forget your great kindness for the rest of his life." ”

Mu Hanshuang secretly lowered his head: "This is all the reincarnation of cause and effect, if you really plant any cause, you will get what you want...... If I hadn't assassinated you with my Hidden Arrow that night, why would I have lost Xiao Lou, and I can only be blamed for being too unkind. ”

Ruan Zhinan hurriedly comforted: "Miss Mu's words are wrong, don't be presumptuous." If it weren't for your kindness, there would never be me Ruan Zhinan in this world again. ”

At this time, Lou Shenghao on the side couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two of them: "Don't always be here to be sad and sad and comfort each other...... Let's hurry up and talk about something serious, after all, tomorrow will be the day when Pinjinwo will open its doors to welcome customers. ”

As soon as he spoke, the door was pushed open. Cheng Yinnie was the first to walk in, followed by Shan Qin'er with a new look and Ye Zhenli with a veil.

This lineup really surprised Gu Huaiyan, especially when he saw Shan Qin'er's familiar and unfamiliar face, his surprise was magnified to the extreme in an instant.

Shan Qin'er took the lead in opening her arms and shook it in front of him, and asked with a smile: "What, Gu Shaoxia doesn't know me as an old man?"

It took him a long time before he reacted and shook his head in embarrassment. Seeing this face, he recalled that he was repeatedly molested by Shan Qin'er, who was the second lady, in Renyi Villa, and his heart inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.

But he is also clearly aware that the woman in front of him is no longer the merry lady of the past. Thinking of this, he felt that his dignified manhood was too small-bellied.

Just like Lou Shenghao just said, let the past pass, why bother to make yourself uneasy for the past!

Soon, Gu Huaiyan showed a friendly smile at her: "It's a great honor to be able to meet you...... Miss Jean. ”

This move was undoubtedly unexpected by Shan Qin'er, she tried extremely hard to control the excitement in her heart, and just pursed her lips: "Gu Shaoxia really remembers me, and I am also very honored." ”

After nodding slightly, Gu Huaiyan turned his head to Ye Zhenli: "Ah Li, what did you find on this trip?

Taking a breath, Ye Zhenli casually untied the veil and threw it on the table, took out a round wax pill and a jet-black silver needle and gently placed it on the veil.

Shan Qin'er, who is also a master of using poison, saw the clue from the wax pill at a glance: "I know, Zhao Daliang's deadly poison is peacock gall!"

Ye Zhenli gave her a thumbs up in agreement: "It's exactly the same as the result I measured with a silver needle, it's the peacock gall!"

Lou Shenghao was the first to raise an objection: "How is this possible? Peacock gall is a highly poisonous thing, and ordinary people will die on the spot if they taste it." If Zhao Daliang really died of the poison of peacock gall, how did he take advantage of our unpreparedness to stuff it into his mouth?"

Mu Hanshuang, who witnessed the whole thing, became the second person with objections: "Zhao Daliang has been begging Miss Ye for mercy and admitting his mistakes, and he has no chance to stuff the poison into his mouth. ”

Ye Zhenli shook his head lightly: "Of course a villain like him who is greedy for life and afraid of death will not commit suicide, all the secrets are in this little wax pill." ”

Ruan Zhinan was very curious and held up the veil: "Is the wax pill directly related to Zhao Daliang's death? Didn't he die of highly poisonous peacock gall?"

Smiling indifferently, Ye Zhenli stretched out his finger and pointed at the wax pill: "Young Master Ruan, please take a closer look inside the wax pill." ”

There was a "click" sound, and Ruan Zhinan broke it into two hollow semicircles of the same size with a little force. After a little bit of sugar residue slipped between his fingers, he looked at everyone in amazement: "This wax pill seems to have hidden something like sugar?"

Ye Zhenli snapped his fingers very chicly: "This wax pill was found near the door of Zhao Daliang's room, and it should have been accidentally left there by the person who poisoned it." ”

After taking the wax pill from Ruan Zhinan's hand, Shan Qin'er showed an extremely firm look: "Under normal circumstances, people who take peacock gall are basically killed on the spot. But if someone wraps peacock gall bladder in hard candy beforehand, the situation is completely different. ”

Everyone showed a look of sudden realization, and Gu Huaiyan took the lead in speaking: "I understand!" The murderer wrapped the peacock gall in the hard candy in advance and coaxed Zhao Daliang to eat it, and after the candy in his stomach melted a little bit, the poison of the peacock gall naturally occurred in time. ”

Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhinan couldn't help but sigh: "This murderer is really cunning, the candy melts in the human stomach at different speeds, so we naturally can't calculate the time of the poison and when he took the poison." ”

Gu Huaiyan said: "I want to know who the poisoning killer is more than the time of poisoning." ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Cheng Yinnie added in time: "No matter who this person is, he must be the one who really kidnapped Ah Li." ”

Suddenly, Shan Qin'er said conclusively: "Although I don't know his exact identity, I can guarantee that this person lives in this inn!"

Anxious to know the identity of this person, Ye Zhenli looked at her hurriedly: "Why are you so sure?"

Shan Qin'er said: "Because I made this wax pill, it was Ji Haitang who asked me to make it...... And I had peeked at their letters before that.

Although I didn't know what his purpose was for this wax pill at the time, I knew that Ji Haitang sent Ji Yifan to send it to this inn after asking me to make a wax pill containing peacock gall. ”

Ye Zhenli rubbed her hair very sadly: "But there are so many people living in this inn, so we can be sure who the target is?"

Shan Qin'er shook her head lightly: "Don't say it's us, even Ji Haitang, who has correspondence with him, is still in speculation and suspicion." ”

Lou Shenghao proposed: "If even Ji Haitang doesn't know the true identity of this person, then we might as well try it with elimination...... At the very least, the people in this room won't plot to kidnap you. ”

Ye Zhenli smiled and said, "This ...... Not necessarily!" With that, she swept her gaze from Shan Qin'er and Mu Hanshuang in turn.

Everyone sat on a round table, and Cheng Yinni, who was holding a pen and paper, wrote down the names of all the residents in turn according to the room number of the room.

The names of Gu Huaiyan, Ruan Zhinan, and He Zhi, who lived in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, were the first to be crossed out with a cinnabar pen, and Cheng Yinni's move inexplicably convinced everyone.

Even the person concerned, Ye Zhenli, expressed no objection: "I believe that Huaiyan will not harm me, and naturally I believe in his friends." ”

Not long after, Cheng Yinnie crossed Ke Liuyun's name off the paper at Ye Zhenli's strong request. It was followed by Lou Shenghao, Hua Jian Ao and Ye Zhenli himself, who appeared later.

After some careful analysis and summary, the only names left on the paper were Xiao Wuxian, Gou Ruobai, Meng Shaomu, Geng Yang, and the four brothers who had little contact with people.

Because Shan Qin'er and Mu Hanshuang are both Ji Haitang's wives and concubines, they are also kept on the list, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After Cheng Yinnie picked up the pen again and transcribed the rest on a new piece of paper, Lou Shenghao took the initiative to ask for the three big characters "Ji Haitang" added to the pen and ink.
