Chapter 339 Wave Drum
Ming put down the wine cup, "Don't mention it, I chased him all the way from outside the pass, and saw him appearing in the Xiangyang area of Jingzhou, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared again!"
Shen Mingjiao: "Since you don't even know what he looks like, how did you recognize him?"
"Rely on physical form! People in our business never rely on just one face to find people!"
Shen Mingjiao nodded in understanding, it's a disguise! She understands! There are also more advanced bone shrinking skills.
When she mentioned this, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly thought of the "little girl" who performed juggling on the street just now. She was just about to speak. But he heard Feng Lisheng said:
"At the beginning of Sishi, there was a group of jugglers staying in front of Wangji Restaurant on Yongfu Street. There may be someone you are looking for."
Shen Mingjiao turned her head to look at him: "Why are you so sure that the little girl is the one Ming is looking for?"
Feng Lisheng got her a piece of steamed meat: "Why only eat vegetables?"
He explained: "It is rumored that Shui Wuhen is born with light bones, male and female, and easy to look at."
"That's it!"
However, after hearing this, Ming drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, stood up and said goodbye to everyone, and strode out of the box with a long knife in his hand.
Shen Ming shouted anxiously: "At least go after the meal..."
Before the words fell, the person jumped off the fence and walked away.
"Forget it, let's eat!"
Thinking of something, she said to Yun Shu, "You will prepare some food for that red jade girl later."
Fan Changshi was reluctant to be the prince's confidant, although he was silenced as soon as something happened. But he was almost solely responsible for the prince's raising of private soldiers outside, so he had to bring them with him when he went to Qin.
Fan's family has been taken into custody, and they are escorted back to Beijing together with Xuanzhi's imperial envoy along with the dossier. The only ones left are Fan Changshi and Hongyu.
The reason why she took Hongyu with her was not because the other party had secretly cooperated with them, nor was it because Shen Mingjiao felt sorry for her. But her identity is problematic.
The moment she brought her back, Feng Lisheng interrogated her,
According to Hongyu, two years ago, she was bought by a wealthy businessman in Jingzhou, and a masked man told her that her brother was still alive, and if she wanted her brother to be safe, she had to help the master with his work.
What she has to do is to spy on Mr. Fan and report to the man in black every two months.
However, what she didn't know was that her elder brother, Eunuch Wu, had died years ago due to the heart-addiction Gu. Feng Lisheng took advantage of this. Ask Ruby to help them in turn.
It really sounds like the prince's handwriting, using Eunuch Wu to hold Hongyu instead. Help him spy on Mr. Fan secretly.
At first, Feng Lisheng and others thought so too.
Later, it was learned that Mrs. Fan was also the Crown Prince's man, and there was some conflict between the two.
Since there is Mrs. Fan, why bother to install a red jade, and Mr. Fan respects his first wife very much. Compared with it, the meticulous work of Hongyu is really accumulated. The prince is so thoughtful, it stands to reason that he can't fail to understand these things.
So Shen Mingjiao boldly speculated that Hongyu was not sent by the prince. But like the previous Suhuai Eunuch Wu and others, he was bewitched.
It can be inferred that the person who sent Hongyu was not the prince, but he had some kind of close connection with the prince. Anyway, Shen Mingjiao felt that things were becoming more and more complicated.
Just in case, she hypnotized Ruby to make sure he wasn't lying.
At this time, the carriage stop of Li Sheng and his party was sealed outside the inn. Master Fan got off the sedan chair to breathe, leaving Hongyu alone in the carriage, and the two guards outside the carriage stared at him.
Master Fan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't run away, I just came down to take a breath."
The two guards remained silent, still staring at him silently. Master Fan didn't care either. Walked on the open space ahead for a while with hands behind their backs.
At this time, he saw a little girl from an unknown family running past, holding a wave drum in her hand. The little girl seemed to be attracted by the row of more than a dozen tall horses, and walked over cautiously, looking up at the horses. He also held the wave drum and shook it vigorously at the horse.
One of the guards was afraid that the horse would accidentally hurt the little girl, so he hurriedly whispered: "Which family's child, this horse doesn't recognize people, go play somewhere else!"
The little girl tilted her head to the guard and smiled sweetly when she heard the sound: "Uncle, I'll just take a look, I won't come close."
While speaking, he continued to shake the wave drum at the horse, as if trying to make the horse laugh. The dark horse in front of him just snorted impatiently.
Seeing this, the guard couldn't argue with a child. Only pay attention to the horse. The sound of the little girl turning the wave drum can be heard all around her ears.
Until a while later, the little girl saw that the horse was not amused by her at all, and Kai ran away with a frustrated face. The guard didn't take it seriously, and continued to stare at Master Fan.
At this moment, Yun Shu came over with the food box, walked to the carriage where Hongyu was sitting, and said softly: "Hongyu, it's time to eat."
There was no answer from inside, so she called again and opened the curtain of the car casually.
Seeing the scene inside, Yun Shu couldn't help screaming in shock. I saw Hongyu lying in the carriage with a pale face, already out of breath.
…
Shen Mingjiao heard the news and rushed over, she lifted the curtain of the car and went up to take a closer look, Hongyu was lying curled up on the wall of the carriage, her face was frighteningly pale,
Yun Shu choked up and said, "He must have suffered a lot before, and his back was drenched with sweat."
She had known Hongyu before, and kept in touch with each other's experiences. Seeing that life was about to usher in the dawn, she was caught off guard and died.
Hearing what she said, Shen Mingjiao also noticed that there was still wet sweat on Hongyu's face, and her forehead was wet. It's not summer, it can't be because of the heat.
It can also be seen from the posture of her falling to the ground that she had a severe struggle and pain before her death.
Besides, Feng Lisheng asked the two remaining guards with a sullen face: "What's going on?"
The two bowed their heads in shame: "I don't know the lowly position..."
Feng Lisheng turned to look at Master Fan, and Master Fan shook his head calmly: "Young Master should know, you have already tried the ones that should be interrogated, and there is no need for me to kill her."
Shen Mingjiao came over and said: "Let's get someone to invite a doctor first! It's also possible to do it."
Not long after, the doctor and the assistant were invited over, after some inspections. Both gave similar answers.
Hongyu died of ruptured viscera.
Hearing this conclusion, Shen Mingjiao subconsciously picked up Hongyu's right arm, and carefully looked at the inside of her wrist.
Sure enough, the original thin black line disappeared.
According to what Cui Lingling said, the Heart-eating Gu planted in the bodies of Su Huai and others before is not easy to cultivate.
From the results of Hongyu's interrogation, it can be seen that Hongyu is just an insignificant person in the eyes of the people behind the scenes.
For such a small person, naturally he would not be willing to use Heart Biting Gu.
So they previously speculated that what was in Hongyu's body should be just ordinary Gu worms.
