Chapter Forty-Six: A Plan Within a Plan

The old butler's blessing suddenly laughed out loud, and the laughter was terrible, and it spread in the dark night, like a ghost.

Shen Yi was unmoved, just looked at him carefully, waiting for what he would say.

The old butler's blessed laughter stopped abruptly, tears flowed from his old eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "The mastermind behind this is to lead the government to the master, and he will not hesitate to lay a trap and frame the master. ”

Shen Yi looked at him and said quietly, "How do you know this is a trap?"

The old housekeeper wiped the tears from his face and said hatefully: "That Zhu Li is indeed my abandoned servant of Zhujiazhuang." Half a year ago, he was driven out of Zhuangzi by an old slave for molesting his wife's maid. He himself must have a grudge against Zhujiazhuang, and was instigated and used by people with ulterior motives, so he deliberately sold treasures in order to report to the government and lead the suspicion to the master. Once the purpose is achieved, he is also extinguished. Shen Daxia, please think about it, if there is not another mastermind behind it, if he just wants to steal treasures and sell them, why would he be killed? The person who killed him was afraid that he would say something that he should not say. ”

This old butler's blessing is really shrewd, and he actually analyzes it to the head. Shen Yi nodded and said, "In this way, no matter who the mastermind behind this is, the treasure stolen by Zhu Li is indeed from Zhujiazhuang?"

The old housekeeper blessed Shen Yi who saw the flaw in his words at once, and regretted that he was self-defeating, and wanted to avenge the master, but instead revealed the truth about the master. He was remorseful and kept his mouth shut.

Shen Yi was unhurried and said, "If you want to avenge your master, you must tell the truth. You also know that if I hadn't had conclusive evidence, I wouldn't have come to Zhujiazhuang directly. ”

Although he already knew that Zhu Tianwei was involved in this big case, when the truth was confirmed step by step, he still felt pain, he didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it.

He has been handling cases for many years, and the most painful thing is that no matter how good his intentions are, he cannot change the harshness of reality, and he will never allow himself to interfere with the justice of the case because of his personal feelings. But people are not plants and trees, he is a person with the most affection and nature, so he often feels deep sadness and helplessness in the face of cruel reality.

The old housekeeper looked up at Shen Yi, and saw that he was calm and confident, and he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Shen Daxia is really wise, my master has indeed done something that should not be done......" He suddenly raised his head again, burst into tears, and said: "My master has done something wrong, but he shouldn't be murdered, he has been replaced by others, and he is a villain who forgets his righteousness!"

Shen Yi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Who is this person you are talking about?"

The old housekeeper said through gritted teeth: "It's Bai Qingfeng who is like a brother to my master!" Ten years ago, it was also Bai Qingfeng who moved my master to pretend to be a thief together, rob and kill the rich, kill the whole family, and do all kinds of things that hurt the heavens and reason. The old slave tried hard to persuade him, but he was alienated and disgusted by his master. In the final analysis, it was Bai Qingfeng's thief, who confused the master with clever words, causing the master to lose his footing and never turn back. ”

Shen Yi didn't speak, judging from the case file of Qingtianfu, the twenty-one murders that have occurred in the past ten years were all committed by this Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingfeng, and the cruelty of his methods of committing the crime was not at all to see that one of the masterminds was coerced and tempted by others, but this blessing protector was anxious, so he avoided the important and trivialized, in a vain attempt to exonerate his master.

The old housekeeper's eyes were full of anger, and he said: "I think I heard the rumors and was worried that my deeds would be revealed, so Bai Qingfeng deliberately led the government to find my master, and killed people again. Pity my Zhu family for several generations, the master passed away in the prime of life, and even no one was left, can I Zhu family be destroyed?"

In his mouth, he did not regard Zhu Tianxiang as a child of the Zhu family at all. Shen Yi secretly sighed, sighing for the narrowness of this person's heart.

The anger on the blessing face disappeared, and it was replaced with sadness, and he pleaded: "Shen Daxia, my master is dead, and my Zhu family can no longer be continued, what scruples do I have? I just ask Shen Daxia to capture the real murderer, and I must not cheap Bai Qingfeng's treacherous villain, and it can be regarded as avenging the master, and the old slave has no regrets when he dies." ”

"You can rest assured, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the perpetrator will be punished. Shen Yi groaned slightly and said, "Do you know where Zhu Tianwei hides the treasure?"

Blessing hurriedly said: "I know, I know, the old slave will take Shen Daxia there." ”

He leaned over, led the way in front, walked out of the door, turned to the side, and arrived at the door of Zhu Tianwei's study before his death. Blessing shook his hand, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, and then shook his hand to open the door.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a cold air rushed out from inside, the old butler blessed a few shivers in a row, Shen Yi couldn't help but reach out and hold the Xiaolong on his waist, with his intuition of years of birth and death, it seemed that there was an indescribable evil in this cold air of penetrating clothes.

The old butler blessed the familiar way, walked into the study, came to the desk, picked up the flint on the table, and lit the lamp and candle.

The light shines all over the study, and there is nothing unusual about it. Zhu Tianwei is not a reader, this so-called study is really not like a place for readers, a bookshelf against the wall, few books, all kinds of porcelain and jade are full of upside down, on the desk, the pen and ink are pushed far away, and in the conspicuous place on the desktop, there is a narrow knife, the knife is in the sheath, but it reveals a sharp knife gas. This knife is the treasure knife Ruyi knife that has been passed down from family to family. It's a pity that the name of the knife is as good as it wants, and how can the owner of the knife be as happy as he wants? I am afraid that the organs will be exhausted, and the bad things will be done, and the name will be spread in vain, but I will only end up dying.

Shen Yi walked steadily, and also walked to the desk, his eyes fell on the Ruyi knife, and he watched intently. Zhu Tianwei, the last sword heir of the Zhu family, is dead, can this knife be revisited in the future?

The old housekeeper's blessing did not stop, and he didn't stop until he walked to the bookshelf, turned back to Shen Yi and said, "Shen Daxia, the treasure is hidden in the secret room behind this bookshelf." ”

Shen Yi looked away from the Ruyi knife when he heard the sound and looked at the old housekeeper to bless.

The two hands of the blessing had already grasped a large vase on the bookshelf, and was twisting it vigorously, and there was a dull sound of twisting behind the bookshelf, and the bookshelf slowly moved to the side, revealing a narrow wooden door one person high, and the wooden door was half-open inward.

The blessing sighed and said, "Why is this door open?"

Shen Yi's eyes were quick, his body was faster, and he just caught a glimpse of the wooden door ajar next to the bookshelf, almost at the same time, his feet were on the ground, and he had already rushed to the old housekeeper's blessing, and shouted in his mouth: "Be careful, flash the ...... quickly"

Unfortunately, although his movements were as fast as lightning, the silver needle that had been hidden in the vase was faster than lightning.

As soon as the old housekeeper heard Shen Yi's shout, he didn't even have time to blink his eyes, and he was shot all over the face by the silver needles that were shot out by the full peng. He screamed and fell backwards. As soon as the person landed, he had a few convulsions, and he was already exhausted and died.

His screams before his death, heartbreaking, broke through the silence of the night, and spread far away in Zhujiazhuang. In an instant, the lights and candles were shining, the footsteps were mixed, and people were running and shouting in all directions, like a nest of ants suddenly disturbed by external forces.

Shen Yi stood in front of the corpse blessed by the old butler, looking down, there was indescribable anger and indescribable sadness in his dark eyes...... He ignored the noise outside the study, ignored the study door being pushed open, and ignored the exclamations of Hua Susu, Bai Xinyu and others who hurriedly walked in, but slowly turned around and looked at the half-open wooden door.

He withdrew his hand and pulled out the EPYR from his waist. The sword came out like a flying dragon, shining brightly, only a flash, and it had reached the wooden door. With a slight exertion of his right hand holding the sword, the wooden door creaked and opened completely, and by the light, he could see it at a glance, and it was empty, where was there a jewel?

The treasure room was empty, but Shen Yi was not very disappointed.

No matter who the person behind the scenes is, his mind is profound, his methods are ruthless, and his actions are interlocking, but they are rare in the rivers and lakes. The viciousness and gloom of the people behind the scenes not only did not frighten Shen Yi, but aroused his fighting spirit even more, and he was secretly determined to find out the murderer and arrest him.
