But Dong Wu, being restrained by the ghost genealogist, couldn't help but said angrily: "Who are you?..."
The ghost book man sneered and raised his hand to take off his mask. Dong Wu couldn't help but be stunned, "You?...Ling Yun?..."
Ling Yun sneered, "You didn't expect it to be me, did you?"
Dong Wuzhi gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "I didn't expect you to plot against me like this!"
Ling Yun said coldly: "I should be the one who said this! You and I have worked together for many years. You should not betray your trust and take refuge in Tianxiao; you also despicably went to the Marquis's Mansion to tip off the news and betray your friends!"
At this time, the door opened, and Lu Wenzheng, Xu Zhi, Jiang Chun and others walked in.
It was Jiang Chun who had just sniped at Dong Wu from outside the window like flying flowers chasing the moon.
When Dong Wu saw the appearance of these people, he immediately understood that what happened tonight was a trap that Lu Wenzheng and others had already designed. Now that they had caught him on the spot and got all the stolen goods, he felt ashamed and lowered his head in frustration.
Lu Wenzheng sighed: "Dong Wu, I didn't expect you to betray me. The thought of it makes me heartbroken! After all, what else do you have to say now?"
Dong Wu said numbly: "I just want to know how you discovered me?"
Lu Wenzheng said: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. As long as you do it, don't blame others for finding out."
Dong Wu's eyes turned, and his eyes full of anger rested on Ling Yun's face, and he said bitterly: "It's you! You must be following me! Ling, you are really my nemesis! I'm just dead..." "
Lu Wenzheng said angrily: "That's enough! Dong Wu, don't be stubborn anymore! As long as you can make up for your mistakes, I will still consider giving you a lighter punishment. Dong Wu, just tell me where is the princess now?"
Dong Wu put his hand on his forehead and sighed: "I don't know."
Lu Wenzheng said: "Are you still stubborn?"
Dong Wu raised his head, his frustrated and tired eyes full of helplessness, "Sir, where is the princess? I really don't know! What I know has just been told to Ling Yun, and I think you have all heard it. .”
Lu Wenzheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He sighed and ordered the people around him: "Take him down first."
Several wolf-like guards rushed up to him and pushed him without any explanation.
Dong Wu suddenly threw away the guards and said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, can you tell me Lanzhu... what happened to her? She was the one I heard shouting outside the window just now... I was wrong, I shouldn't have I betrayed her, it was me who harmed her..." By the time he said it, his voice was trembling and tears were streaming down his face.
Lu Wenzheng said angrily: "Why are you still so confused now? If it weren't for this woman, you wouldn't have fallen like this!"...
Dong Wu was taken away. At this time, the guard came to report that the woman who had just made trouble had escaped.
Lu Wenzheng hurriedly asked people to find Lanzhu, but they searched the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment and found no one. It seemed that she was the woman who escaped.
What happened tonight was a mixed bag.
Fortunately, the spy was finally successfully captured. It turned out that Ling Yun had become suspicious since He Chengqi accidentally told Ling Yun about Dong Wu's visit to Lord Hou's Mansion that day in the silk shop. In addition, Yang Zhen's night visit to Lord Hou's Mansion was reported, which made everyone even more suspicious. There is something wrong with Dong Wu.
However, this can only be suspicion, but there is no concrete evidence to prove whether their speculation is true.
At this time, Lu Qiuyue recommended Jiang Chun to come out to help.
After several months of careful nursing care, Jiang Chun's injuries have basically recovered, and he was full of energy and radiant when he came out of the mountain.
Jiang Chun came up with an idea: Someone could dress up as Li Ruiyun, the leader of the Tianxiao gang, to test Dong Wu.
As for the green jade token, Jiang Chun had seen it when he met Li Ruiyun when he was in the Tianxiao organization, and he was very impressed by the token.
Dong Wu had just joined the Tianxiao organization, and he didn't know much about many things within Tianxiao; so when Ling Yun showed the "green jade token", Dong Wu was blinded and immediately told the truth. .
Although everyone is very happy now that the spy has been successfully captured, there are more things to worry about.
For one thing, five days have passed since Ling Yun was released from the jail on bail, and there is still no news from the princess - this has become the biggest headache for everyone in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment.
Secondly, Lu Wenzheng felt so chilled and heartbroken when he thought that his old subordinate who had been following him for many years actually betrayed him and stabbed him in the back. He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Ling Yun also had no sleep at the same night. Thinking about what had happened these days, thinking about Mr. Lu's trust and expectations for him, the huge mental pressure almost made him breathless.
He couldn't help but secretly give himself a death order deep in his heart:
Ling Yun, you must find the princess! Otherwise, how can you face Mr. Lu who has been kind to you? To face all the Lufu brothers who are full of expectations for you? …
In the afternoon of the next day, the investigating guard came to report that Yu Qingcheng had returned to the Silk House.
Hearing this, Ling Yun walked out of the door without saying a word and headed straight to the Silk Satin Shop in a hurry.
At this time, Sun Xiaowen, the head shopkeeper, was instructing the shop assistants to clean up and prepare for business. Suddenly, he saw Ling Yun burst in in a hurry, and hurriedly came forward to strike up a conversation with a smile on his face.
Ling Yun said solemnly: "Where is your boss Jade?"
Sun Xiaowen couldn't hide it even if he didn't think about it, so he scratched his scalp and said hesitantly: "Our boss Yu is... taking a nap, and he hasn't gotten up yet! Commander Ling, why don't you wait in the tea room for a while?"
Ling Yun tightened his thin lips and sneered: "Why do I come here so unluckily every time? People say thanking guests behind closed doors, but isn't your door open?"
As he said that, he ignored him and rushed inside.
Sun Xiaowen knew he couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to follow behind him, shouting repeatedly: "Commander Ling! Commander Ling!..."
Ling Yun walked directly to the door of Lian Nanchun's room. With a cold look on his face, he said in a deep voice to the room: "Boss Yu, please come out!"
The door was still closed tightly and there was no movement.
Ling Yun's star eyes narrowed slightly, with a sharp cold light, and he said coldly: "If you don't come out, I will break in!"
At this time, the door opened with a "swish", and Lian Nanchun's bun was half tilted, her flower crown was uneven, her clothes were half-covered, and her breasts were slightly exposed. She stood sleepily at the door and said in a somewhat joking tone: "No. Knowing that Commander Ling is here to find me at this time, what are you doing?"
Ling Yun stared into hers with a pair of deep eyes, and said word by word: "Ling asked Boss Yu to come to the house for a chat!"
Lian Nanchun couldn't help but chuckle, his tone full of teasing, "A civilian woman is just a prostitute, how could she be so virtuous and capable? How dare she work for Commander Ling to come here to invite me in person? This civilian woman is really flattered!"
Ling Yun raised his eyebrows and was about to retort; suddenly he saw Sun Xiaowen and a few guys who were watching the fun coming over with their heads bent; he couldn't help but his face darkened, and he said to them in an unquestionable tone: "You guys go out and wait, I will I have a few words to say to Boss Yu alone!"
Sun Xiaowen looked at Lian Nanchun awkwardly, feeling at a loss for a moment.
Lian Nanchun turned his eyes slightly and winked at him.
Sun Xiaowen understood, so he had no choice but to respond sadly, and went out dejectedly with a few waiters.
Lian Nanchun turned around and glared at him, narrowed his eyes, raised one corner of his mouth slightly, and said lazily: "Okay, there are only two of us here now. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Ling Yun stared at her with his deep eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, where is Princess Huanyu now?"
Lian Nanchun pretended to be surprised and said: "What Princess Huanyu is, I don't know!"
Ling Yun suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Leader Lian, since you and I know each other well, why do you have to pretend in front of me?"
Lian Nanchun smiled and said: "So, Dong Wu told you everything?"
Ling Yun said coldly: "That's right! Now that the evidence is conclusive, I advise you not to deny it anymore! Leader of the Lian Gang, please follow me to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice!"
Lian Nanchun's eyes flashed slightly and he chuckled: "Evidence? Is Dong Wu evidence?"
Ling Yun said: "Yes, he can definitely testify against you!"
Lian Nanchun raised his face and said, "But what if Dong Wu dies?"
Ling Yun snorted and said, "Why are you alarmist? The death of Xiao Yongnian in the past has left us with a profound lesson. Similar things will never happen again!"
Lian Nanchun said leisurely: "The problem is: Dong Wu's death method is different from Xiao Yongnian's death method."
Ling Yun's heart sank and he said hastily: "What do you mean?"
Lian Nanchun said: "Xiao Yongnian was poisoned after he was arrested, it is an acute poison; while Dong Wu was poisoned before he was arrested, it is a chronic poison -"
As she said that, she glanced at Ling Yun and said casually: "However, if it is a chronic poison, the onset time will not be too late. It should occur one day and one night, that is, twelve hours later! If you rush back immediately, , maybe we can see him one last time?"
Ling Yun's heart trembled, and his expression suddenly changed: "Hibiscus flower poison?"
Lian Nanchun laughed heartily: "Commander Ling is indeed Commander Ling, don't you just show it! Have you forgotten that you were also poisoned by this kind of poison in the past? If it wasn't for that time, I don't want to owe you; and more importantly yes……"
Speaking of this, she deliberately slowed down her tone and stepped forward, her beautiful and delicate body almost touching Ling Yun's body. She exhaled like a orchid and said: "I really can't bear to part with such a first-class person like Commander Ling. One of the few beautiful men in the world died so mysteriously..."
When she said this, her warm breath kept blowing into his ears, and a few strands of her hair on the temples were gently teasing his cheeks; Ling Yun's originally indifferent heart suddenly suddenly It was throbbing uncontrollably, and his handsome face turned red involuntarily...
Lian Nanchun stared at the change in his expression and couldn't help but giggle: "Why, Commander Ling feels uncomfortable too, right?"
Ling Yun suddenly came back to his senses, his face turned cold, and he shouted in a low voice: "Lian Nanchun!..."
Lian Nanchun Shi Ran said: "Why, Commander Ling is so angry that he is so embarrassed? But Ling Yun, then again, anger is anger, you still have to be grateful to me! If I hadn't felt compassion at that time, I would give you some understanding. Medicine, maybe you are already dead! Do you think you will still stand here and talk to me so fiercely? "
Ling Yun's face became extremely ugly. He narrowed his starry eyes, glanced sideways at her, and sneered: "So, I have to thank you as the leader of the training gang for not killing?"
Lian Nanchun smiled brightly and said: "Commander Ling's words are serious. Your words are too heavy, and I can't bear it!"
Ling Yun calmed down his turbulent mind and returned to the original topic, "You just said that Dong Wu was poisoned by hibiscus flower poison, but is it true?"
Lian Nanchun snorted and folded his arms in front of his chest.
Ling Yun pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, this must be Lan Zhu's doing, right?"
Lian Nanchun just smiled and said nothing.
Ling Yun suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and sighed: "Poor Dong Wu is still so infatuated with her, but she actually did this. The cruelest thing is a woman's heart!" With that, he turned and walked out.
Lian Nanchun deliberately raised his voice and said, "Why, Commander Ling is leaving now? No more chatting?"
Ling Yun knew that she was deliberately angry with him, and he didn't have the time to argue with her any more. He used Qing Kung Fu and ran toward the house like a puff of white smoke, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yun rushed back to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice and rushed straight to the cell where Dong Wu was imprisoned.
At that time, the patrolling guards and guards were going back and forth in an orderly manner, and nothing unusual seemed to have happened.
Since Dong Wu was a special prisoner, he was treated specially; he was specially placed in a very secluded underground prison, and a dedicated person was assigned to guard him in shifts to be on guard.
When the jailer saw Ling Yun suddenly bursting in, he quickly came over to greet him.
Ling Yun asked directly: "Is Dong Wu still there?"
The chief warden was a little strange: "Of course he is. Commander Ling wants to see him?"
Ling Yun nodded.
The jailer opened the cell door, pointed inside and said, "Commander Ling, Dong Wu is inside. Dong Wu! Dong Wu!..."
He called twice, but got no answer.
Dong Wu was actually very calm. He squatted on the ground against the wall, hugging his knees with his hands, his head hung low, and his body remained motionless.
Ling Yun frowned, stepped forward and pushed him, "Dong Wu..."
Dong Wu suddenly fell to the ground.
Ling Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he touched Dong Wu's breath with trembling hands. He was no longer breathing.
