The Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment and the Marquis Mansion jointly handled the case. They designed a dragnet in the Huanyunge Courtyard of the Junma Mansion, and painstakingly combined the two and a half poisons of sandalwood poison and ghost flower poison into one, and finally succeeded in killing them. The "Tianxiao Thief" Lianxuanzhong.
What is puzzling is that since they want to kill people, why don't they just use a simple and clear poison, but go to a lot of trouble to use a full poison synthesized from two half poisons?
These are all ideas from Ying Chuanlin. He told them that Nanchun, a famous doctor from generation to generation, was extremely skilled in the use of poisons, and her accomplices would never be any worse in their medical skills or use of poisons.
Therefore, ordinary simple poisons cannot control them. In order to ensure everything, he proposed to use this full poison.
It was impossible for Lian Xuanzhong to avoid some superficial injuries during the crazy fight with the guards; and once she was injured by a guard's sword, she was unfortunately infected with this ghost flower poison.
So the two half poisons were combined into one full poison.
Therefore, soon after she was hit by the sword, the poison began to take effect - which is why she felt dizzy just now during the fight.
She gritted her teeth and managed to hold on for a breath before leaving the Junma Mansion. She reluctantly reached the Jinming River and could no longer hold on. The poisonous gas was already attacking her heart.
Poor Lianxuan, a generation of heroes and heroines, died under the siege of Ying Chuanlin and others! …
The faint morning light was like a sharp blade, splitting the sky with a sword, and the dazzling light squeezed in through the pale window lattice, shaking people to the point of being distracted.
Hermitage Villa.
After everyone got up, they found that Lian Xuanzhong was missing. Li Gang was the first to find the calligraphy book on the table in the Lianxuan room and quickly showed it to everyone.
Monk Pingming's face instantly became stiff, and he slowly raised his head after being silent for a long time. Everyone saw that the muscles on his cheeks seemed to be twitching faintly.
When Li Gang saw that Monk Pingming looked strange, his heart could not help but palpitate, and he asked nervously: "Master, what's wrong?..."
Monk Pingming swallowed hard and said with a trembling voice: "Oh! Why is your aunt acting so recklessly! I have an ominous premonition now... Now, let's split up to look for it first; Li Gang, take a few people to the city right away. Check out the situation!”
Everyone responded in panic and went their separate ways.
At noon, Li Gang and others stumbled back with pale faces.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Gang fell to the ground, cried uncontrollably, and talked incoherently about what happened in the Junma Mansion last night, and now his aunt's head was hanging on the city gate...
Everyone was shocked and immediately burst into tears.
Lu Qiuyue asked in a trembling voice: "How did my aunt...die?..."
Li Gang recounted what he had learned intermittently, and there were inevitably many subtle remarks about Ling Yun.
Everyone was so angry that they all cursed Ling Yun for being despicable and shameless, and they hated Ling Yun to the core.
When everyone thought about the unknown death in Lianxuan, they all burst into tears, and there was a sound of mourning in the room.
At the end, Monk Pingming wiped his tears and said, "It's not an option for us to just cry like this. Now that the eldest lady is in jail, and tomorrow is the day of execution, we should come up with a rescue idea!"
Jiang Chun sighed: "Besides robbing people at the execution ground, do we have any other better way?"
Everyone was silent.
Li Gang said angrily: "The leader of the training gang and the eldest lady are very kind to me. For the eldest lady, I, Li Gang, will not hesitate to be broken into pieces!"
Monk Pingming said loudly: "Okay! You are impressive! But don't go there this time Jiang Chun. You and Miss Lu are newly married. It is very difficult and dangerous to save people in this execution ground. If anything happens to you, then Miss Lu Wouldn't it be..." He sighed and couldn't continue.
A look of determination flashed across Jiang Chun's eyes, and he said decisively: "Master's words are wrong. If Miss Lian hadn't helped me in the past, how could Qiuyue and I be where we are today? Now Miss Lian is in trouble. If I was greedy for life and afraid of death, Isn't it unworthy of a man to live in peace and quiet?
"Furthermore, if we can save people in this execution ground, it will be successful; if it fails, what will happen if there are intact eggs under the overturned nest? How can Qiuyue and I survive alone? In this critical moment, we are willing to stand together with Master through thick and thin. Let’s live and die together, even if we die, we will have no regrets!”
Jiang Chun's impassioned words moved Monk Pingming to the point of being moved, "Well said! Brother Jiang is so heroic and willing to sacrifice for his friends. If the great monk can make a friend like you, his life will be in vain!"
Jiang Chun said: "Master, we have an agreement!"
Everyone high-fived the deal...
Qingshi Ridge. The wind rustled, blowing Lu Qiuyue's somewhat messy hair. She sat alone in the desolate mountains, silently staring at the desolate scenery in the distance, sad and melancholy.
Her face was haggard, like faded red, scattered pieces on the ground, drifting and dissipating in the windy season. There is also a layer of unspeakable sadness between Luo Yu's brows.
Jiang Chun slowly approached her, sat down next to her, and whispered, "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Qiuyue shook her head with a lonely expression, "I don't know. I just feel that my mind is very confused. I miss my father sometimes, and Commander Ling..."
Jiang Chun's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes seemed to be on fire, "Commander Ling! Isn't it enough that he has harmed us people?"
Lu Qiuyue frowned slightly and said quietly: "But I always feel that he is not that kind of person! You know how much responsibility he bore last time to help the two of us leave the house, and he was willing to do so without any regrets. …
"I have known him for many years. In my impression, he is always so open-minded and aboveboard. He should be the kind of person who can go to all lengths for his friends - I really can't believe that he would do this. Such a despicable and dirty thing."
A hint of coolness flashed in Jiang Chun's eyes, and he said dullly: "In this world, only the human heart is the most difficult to measure; not to mention that people will always change! As the saying goes, 'People can't help themselves when they are in the world.' Sometimes a person is coerced by various situations, and he will do something against his will as a last resort!"
When he said these words, he was also filled with emotion. Because of this, he also thought of his past - the days when he was wandering around Tianxiao and couldn't bear to look back...
Lu Qiuyue's melancholy eyes flashed and she said: "But..."
Jiang Chun's eyes were a little calmer at this time, and he changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about him for now. Tomorrow is the execution day, and I'm afraid it will be more misfortune than anything else. If I ever get caught What's wrong..."
Lu Qiuyue hurriedly covered his mouth and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I believe you will come back! I will wait for you here tomorrow and wait for you to come back..."
Jiang Chun's eyes were filled with a thin layer of mist, and his voice was almost choked, "But Qiuyue——"
Lu Qiuyue's lake-like autumn eyes stared at him affectionately, with a gentle smile in her eyes, "You forgot that we once went to Mr. Ge, the iron-fingered fortune teller. He said that we are all blessed with great fortune. Good people have their own destiny.
"So you will definitely turn your bad luck into good luck and come back safely. Besides, you and I love each other so much. God has eyes and will always take pity on us..."
When she said this, her voice trembled slightly, as if the threadless and broken feathers floating in the air would be scattered by the wind at any time.
Jiang Chun felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a big hand, shrinking into a ball in an instant, and he could hardly breathe in pain.
He took Lu Qiuyue into his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Qiuyue, please stop talking. Even if I die during this trip, I will have no regrets.
"Because you and I have loved each other vigorously, and we have obtained all the joy and sweetness in the world; we have also deeply experienced all the taste of happiness.
"What I long for most now is that there will be an afterlife, when we will continue to be husband and wife, loving each other, and growing old together..."
When he said this, his tone was calm, but underneath his words there seemed to be an undercurrent of a storm slowly surging.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a pair of lovers hugged each other tightly, short of breath and unable to cry...
The scorching sun is like fire, mercilessly scorching everything on the earth.
There was not a cloud in the sky, and there was no wind. All the trees stood there listlessly and lazily.
Not far away came the distraught screams of cicadas; the weather was so hot that even the dragonflies dared to fly low against the shade of the trees, as if they were afraid of being burned by the harsh sunlight on their delicate wings.
Today is the day to practice Nanchun in killing the "Tian Xiao Enchantress".
The place of execution was crowded with spectators.
Lu Wenzheng and He Yuting, as supervisors and beheading officers, sat in the middle; Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen, Ying Chuanlin and others stood on both sides; surrounded by soldiers and armors, the light of swords and shadows, there was a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
Monk Pingming, Jiang Chun, Li Gang and others were among the surging crowds, wearing large-brimmed hoods on their heads.
They all went through elaborate disguises, hid sharp blades, held their breath, and waited nervously and anxiously for the coming of a storm.
Lian Nanchun was pushed and pushed forward. Under the scorching sun, she walked staggeringly, as if she would turn into smoke and dissipate in the miserable sunlight in the next second.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with blood, and her clothes were stained with blood. She staggered as she walked, looking extremely haggard and exhausted.
Immediately, the executioner pushed Lian Nanchun aggressively to the center of the execution ground and stood there.
The executioner glanced at her with a stern look and said in a long tone: "Lian Nanchun, we are leaving. Do you have anything else to say?"
The dappled sunlight reflected Lian Nanchun's face as pale as frost, as if it were transparent. The wind suddenly rises during the day, making the leaves rustle; the summer is full of beauty, but like a silent dead tree, it is about to lose its life like a summer flower.
This once magnificent and beautiful woman who conquered the country is about to go to hell. What will she think about at this time?
Is it her youth, her obsession with love, her yearning, or her broken dreams...
The past is like smoke, fresh in my mind, there were prosperity, there was desolation, there was joy, there was sadness...
She slowly raised her head, faced the breeze with her calm eyes, and shook her head gently.
After three soul-chasing cannons were fired, the executioner reported to Lu Wenzheng and He Yuting: "Your Majesty, the time has come. Please give me your instructions!"
The two of them looked at each other with bright eyes. He Yuting took out a piece of paper, threw it on the ground without hesitation, and ordered: "Identify the true identity of the witch Tian Xiao and punish her!"...
