Chapter 37 Silver Fox
Feng Lisheng stepped forward and pulled him behind him. Pulling out the long sword, he swung back the fine dog that was rushing towards him.
Shen Mingjiao held his sword-wielding wrist, shook her head at him, and swept her eyes straight at the fine dogs that rushed over.
Feng Lisheng watched in surprise as the vicious dogs slowly stopped, then lowered their pointed ears, and lay down docilely on the ground.
"No...it's impossible...how could you...you..."
Mrs. Lian pointed at Shen Mingjiao and murmured in disbelief.
Feng Lisheng glanced at her coldly, his gaze piercing through the four valleys, as if looking at a dead person.
"Take people down."
Feng Wu and others immediately stepped forward to arrest Mrs. Lian.
Zhao Ke, who was in shock, seemed to have come to his senses just now, and couldn't help stepping forward to protect him behind him:
"Your Highness, this... there must be a misunderstanding... Lian Er, she... she is so kind... how could..."
Feng Wu sneered:
"You said she was kind! Mr. Zhao may have misunderstood the word kindness! Is he kind enough to scratch a girl's face when he is in a bad mood, or is he kind enough to control small dogs and destroy people all over the house for his own selfish desires!"
Zhao Ke shook his head hastily: "No...impossible, hasn't the murderer of the Miemen case been caught? And Lian Er...she is a weak woman...how is that possible?"
Ms. Lian even held on to Zhao Ke's sleeve tightly, crying like a pear blossom with rain:
"Husband... Hurry up and save Lian Er... They will kill me... Lian Er doesn't know anything... I..."
As the two tugged, a piece of jade pendant fell out of Mrs. Lian's sleeve.
Feng Wu picked it up and took a look. It was a piece of top-quality jadeite with excellent color, but... the lace adorning it was broken.
He fixed his gaze, waved and called a man dressed as a catcher.
The policeman was taken aback when he saw the broken half of the net, and then took out a few red ropes wrapped in oiled paper from the buckle bag on his back.
Feng Wu took it, compared it to the broken web, and it fit perfectly.
He turned his head and looked at the shocked Zhao Ke with a smile on his face:
"Master Zhao, these red ropes were pulled from the murderer by the dead, that is, the soldiers guarding Ku Yin. As Lord of Luo Ducheng, Mr. Zhao should know about this!
Now Master Zhao still thinks that your Lian Er was wronged? "
Zhao Ke turned his head and looked at Mrs. Lian in disbelief: "Lian'er...you..."
Ms. Lian also seemed to be stunned, and then her face turned pale, and she backed away in panic,
"How come... this jade pendant has already..."
When she reacted and said something, she couldn't help covering her mouth in panic.
Zhao Ke took a sharp step back.
Madam Lian seemed to realize something, her eyes hardened, and she suddenly showed a soft and timid smile to Zhao Ke.
Zhao Ke was startled, and took a step forward with blank eyes.
But at this moment, Mrs. Lian suddenly drew out her dagger and pressed it against Zhao Ke's throat.
Feng Wu frowned, but sneered and said: "Tsk! Use this trick again! But I have to remind you, Zhao Ke is not our princess, and he is guilty of harboring criminals. If you want to kill him, no one will stop."
Mrs. Lian dragged the dazed Zhao Ke out. He turned his head and said coldly:
"So what, don't forget, only I know the whereabouts of the 20 million taels of silver. To tell you the truth, I have taken poison before I came here. Even if you catch me now, you will only get nothing. It's a corpse."
Feng Lisheng's expression is very calm, or in other words, as long as it is not about Shen Mingjiao's safety, he is that expressionless His Royal Highness Su Wang.
He stared at the backs of the two leaving, and asked quietly: "Did you make those three families that were destroyed in Luodu City?"
Mrs. Lian didn't seem to want to hide any more at the moment, she held the dagger firmly against Zhao Ke's throat, and said with a sneer:
"That's right, the three families with more than 600 people, including the guards guarding the warehouse camp, were all killed by me using hypnotism to control the fine dog."
Feng Lisheng then asked: "What is your purpose in killing them?"
While speaking, he calmly picked up a branch on the ground.
Ms. Lian dragged Zhao Ke forward slowly, sneered and said:
"Didn't you all find out, because the Fang family killed my father, but the officials in Luodu City are all against the Fang family, so they all have to die..."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Lisheng asked suddenly: "How did you kill so many people silently by yourself, and who is your accomplice?"
Ms. Lian was taken aback by the question, at the moment when she was taken aback,
Feng Lisheng pinched the branch and threw it lightly.
With a sound of "puchi", several branches infused with inner strength pierced deeply into Mrs. Lian's shoulder.
Ms. Lian was in pain, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Feng Wu and others hurried forward to arrest him.
But she saw Mrs. Lian's body twitch violently a few times, and then fell straight down, with black blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Feng Wu stepped forward to check carefully and said: "Your Highness, Mrs. Lian has poison hidden in her teeth."
He frowned after speaking, Mrs. Lian died just like that!
Although the murderer has been found now, he always has a feeling that things are going too smoothly.
The missing twenty million taels of silver also disappeared with the death of Mrs. Lian.
And Zhao Ke also slowly woke up, looking at Mrs. Lian's body in a daze.
Shen Mingjiao has been silent since just now, but in fact, she has been digesting the extra things in her mind.
And she just accidentally saw that the moment Mrs. Lian fell down, her eyes were clearly full of disbelief.
That is to say. Mrs. Lian may not have committed suicide.
…
When she went back, she told Feng Lisheng about this discovery.
Feng Lisheng kept tugging on her wrist, as if what happened just now had frightened him.
Hearing her say this, she just hummed lightly: "I know it well."
Seeing him like this, Shen Mingjiao sighed helplessly, "I don't blame you for what happened just now. I was too anxious to find my sister, so I fell into someone else's trap."
Feng Lisheng pursed his lips and remained silent, if only he had been more careful. Send a few more people to personally protect Shen Mingjiao, maybe what happened just now will not happen.
But at this moment, a small snow-white milk dog rushed over and gently rubbed against Shen Mingjiao's feet.
Shen Mingjiao knelt down and stroked the fluffy hair of the little milk dog:
"Little guy. Recognize me?"
The little milk dog stared at her purse with wet eyes, and shook its short tail cheerfully.
Shen Ming was delighted, and rubbed the little guy's limp head heavily: "So smart!"
He took out the meat from his purse and handed it to its mouth, "Come on, eat quickly!"
Feng Lisheng glanced at the cheerful little thing, and had to correct her: "This is a silver fox, not a dog."
"What are you talking about!"
Shen Ming was startled, she knelt down and took a closer look at the little furry guy.
It seems that it looks better than a dog!
She became interested immediately. She has never really seen a fox since she grew up so big.
In her previous life, she had seen the red fox raised by Su Qing, but the red fox was very proud, and she only saw it once from a distance.
She couldn't help poking the little silver fox's curly tail, thinking that this little guy was even cuter.
Feng Lisheng glanced at the cheerful figure of one person and one fox, "If you like it, take it back."
Shen Mingjiao shook her head: "It should be raised by someone else, and it's not an object. They raised it well. I can't just leave just because I like it!"
At this moment, Xiaodie came over in a hurry: "Sister Gillian, where have you been? Let me tell you, something big happened in the house, Madam Lian..."
Shen Mingjiao interrupted her: "I know, Mrs. Lian died, I saw it with my own eyes, because she tricked me to let the dog bite me."
After speaking, stare closely at the other person's eyes.
Xiao Die was taken aback, and asked urgently: "Are you okay!" Then she cursed angrily: "I knew that woman was full of bad things..."
Shen Mingjiao breathed a sigh of relief, although she could feel that this girl had no ill intentions towards her, but the previous incident was too strange, so he had to be on guard.
Xiaodie noticed the little silver fox lying in the grass, and said in surprise:
"Huh? Why is Xuetuan here?"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hug it, but the little silver fox turned around and ran away nimbly.
Xiaodie withdrew her hand embarrassingly: "Xuetuan has a bit of a temper, usually only my wife can hold it."
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Is this little silver fox raised by your wife?"
"Yes, Madam picked it up when she went out half a year ago, but Madam has been ill for a while, so Xuetuan seldom returns to the main courtyard."
When Mrs. Zhao was mentioned, Shen Mingjiao thought of that strange book, and those things inexplicably popping up in her mind after what happened just now.
She wanted to go back to the main courtyard and ask Mrs. Zhao what was going on?
However, after what happened just now, Feng Lisheng forbids her to stay in the Zhao Mansion no matter what.
Shen Mingjiao is helpless, then let me say goodbye to Mrs. Zhao, right?
Feng Lisheng didn't object anymore, but let Wang Dashan follow secretly, and he went to the front yard to look for Zhao Ke. After all, the murderer Mrs. Lian is his concubine,
He must know whether Zhao Ke knew about the whole thing or not?
There is also the 20 million taels of silver that has not been found yet.
Shen Mingjiao came to the main courtyard where Mrs. Zhao was, but was stopped by the servants.
Not long after, Xiaodie came out and looked at her apologetically:
"Sister Gillian, Madam doesn't want to see you, but Madam said she knows what you want to ask, she asked me to tell you that this is your own good fortune, and all the answers you want are in the book."
At this time, the little silver fox ran out from the yard and rubbed against Shen Mingjiao's feet.
Xiaodie pointed at the little silver fox: "Also, Madam said that she is not in good health and has no energy to raise snow balls. If you like it, you can take it away!"
Listening to these words, for some reason, Shen Mingjiao felt an ominous premonition.
She stared at Xiaodie closely: "Madam, is something wrong?"
Xiaodie shook her head in confusion, "No, madam is still the same, now she should be basking in the sun on the deck chair in the yard."
Shen Mingjiao was silent for a while: "Alright then, go back and tell Madam that I have accepted her love, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Su Wangfu to find me."
…
Shen Mingjiao carried the little silver fox out of the Zhao mansion, but she was still a little worried, so she asked Wang Dashan to quietly enter the yard to see how Mrs. Zhao was doing.
Not long after, Wang Dashan came back and said that Mrs. Zhao was lying on the recliner in the yard drinking tea. Apart from her poor complexion, she was in good spirits.
Shen Mingjiao felt relieved a little, and planned to invite the best doctor in the city to take Mrs. Zhao's pulse after returning home.
Feng Lisheng came out,
"I asked Zhao Ke, and he said that the Yunshu girl didn't come back, and Cailian deliberately instigated Aunt Wang to spread the news."
Although Shen Mingjiao had already guessed the result, Shen Mingjiao was still a little disappointed.
The two returned to the rented house.
Haitang waited early at the gate of the courtyard, and seeing her daughter came back intact, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she saw the little silver fox in Shen Mingjiao's arms, she couldn't help coming over in surprise:
"Where did the puppy come from, it looks so cute!"
Girls naturally like furry animals, Haitang couldn't help but reach out and want to touch them,
But the little guy didn't cooperate. He turned his head arrogantly to avoid Haitang's hand, and his soft hair stood up vigilantly.
Shen Mingjiao raised her hand and gently smoothed his hair.
Feng Lisheng, who was listening to his subordinates' report, glanced this way, seeing the little thing comfortably rubbing against Shen Mingjiao's chest, feeling inexplicably upset for some reason.
He came over and said softly, "Come to the study."
Shen Mingjiao was reluctant to let go of the hand holding the little silver fox, and told Haitang: "Go get it something to eat."
Shen Mingjiao followed Feng Lisheng to the study, and seeing that everyone was there, she guessed that they were going to discuss the case.
Feng Wu was the first to speak: "We searched Cailian's yard and the places she has been to as far as we can find, but did not find Ku Yin."
Feng Lisheng sat at the head, and didn't move his brows when he heard the words, obviously he had expected it long ago.
Instead, he asked a few people: "Do you think Cailian is really the murderer?"
Xu Daniu scratched his head: "But didn't she admit it herself?"
Shen Mingjiao said: "Not to mention anything else, it's an obvious question. I've always been curious. Since the murderer is so capable, the half of the jade pendant torn off by the deceased from his waist, such obvious evidence, the murderer would not have discovered it. ?”
"Even if he committed the crime too hastily and really didn't find out, most people would not keep that jade pendant and the obvious half of the net on it. But Mrs. Lian not only kept it, but also dropped it out at such a coincidental time,
This is for fear that others will not know that she is the murderer! Baba delivered it to your door. "
"Also, according to your description, the traces of several crime scenes have been cleaned up very clean, that is to say, the murderer has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. Do you think Mrs. Lian has such abilities!"
The most important point is that Mrs. Lian may indeed have some abilities through the extra things in her mind.
But it’s only useful for animals or those who are not strong-willed. In other words, if your willpower is strong enough, her so-called hypnosis will have no effect.
The three families that were wiped out had a combined population of more than 600 people. Could it be that there was not a single person with a strong will?
Feng Lisheng nodded: "The princess is right, tell me who is the most likely murderer?"
Feng Wu thought for a while and said: "The closest relationship with Mrs. Lian is naturally Zhao Ke, but it must not be him, because Ku Yin lost such a major event, unless he finds it later to make up for it, otherwise the Holy One will be furious. All officials will be dismissed and sent to prison."
Feng Lisheng looked at Shen Mingjiao and asked, "What does the princess think?"
Shen Ming gave him a tender look, and asked her why? Don't you already have the answer in your heart?
Good night, this chapter will end tomorrow
