The friendship between King Jinpeng and the third prince was extraordinary, and he could naturally see through the other's thoughts. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he smiled lightly and asked what was on his mind. The third prince didn't expect that King Jinpeng had such a vicious poison, and he was extremely heartbroken. But now that time was running out, he stopped delaying and asked what was on his mind.
King Jinpeng's breathing became rapid after hearing this, and he sat up straight. The veins in his hands pinched on the armrests of the stone chair were exposed. His face was very painful and he said: "I didn't expect that you actually knew about this matter... I still can't hide it after all..." King Jinpeng The pain in his eyes gradually disappeared, but the endless guilt came up again. Although his eyes were looking forward, he didn't know which wave in the long river of time his eyes were submerged in.
"In total, this incident happened about twenty years ago, but the shocking moment of that day seems to have happened just yesterday. It is really unforgettable for me..."
"The people of the Jin family in Yangdu are smart and hard-working, so the family industry is naturally extremely brilliant. Although they have a lot of money, their charity has won the hearts of the people, which has led to the vigorous development of Yangdu... As an aside, if the strength of the Jin family is , it’s easy to compete for the position of city lord... It’s just that the Jin family is too lively to compete..."
"The Jin family and the Yang family are family friends. The old city lord Yang Chongcang who had just succeeded to the throne at that time also had a close relationship with the younger head of the Jin family, Jin Wudu. One day when the city lord was chatting with Jin Wudu, he talked about an extremely secret matter. , but it aroused Jin Wudu’s interest, that is Linlang Market!”
"Oops!" Jin Zhuer thought that the name Jin Wudu sounded familiar when she heard it. When she heard Linlang Market, she suddenly exclaimed inwardly. It turned out that the Jin family in Yangdu was the place where her husband brought her, but at that time Jin Zhu'er had a headache from being lectured by her husband, but she didn't put her mind on this matter. She only knew that her husband was going to find someone, so she followed her to Yangdu and found a place to be quiet. Now that she thinks about it, her husband's visit was wrong. This is the Jin family in Yangdu. Could it be that Mr. Wang was motivated by wealth and bloodbathed the Jin family?
The more Jin Zhuer thought about it, the more she felt that everything was logical, and she was also very scared. If this was really the case, how could she explain it to everyone? However, considering that Mr. Xiang is not a murderous person, and the old bastard from Jinguang Village may also be making nonsense, naturally he cannot be easily believed.
"Sister Jin Zhuer? What's wrong with you?" Youya noticed something strange about Jin Zhuer, and asked hurriedly with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay... I just remembered some old things... King Jinpeng, please continue..." Jin Zhuer smiled awkwardly and motioned to King Jinpeng to continue.
King Jinpeng was not paying attention to the hearts of others, so he naturally did not notice the difference in the atmosphere. He nodded and continued: "At that time, the young master of the family, Jin Wudu, had just succeeded to the throne and had a son. He had been looking for some treasure. He heard that Linlang Naturally, he couldn't stand the market incident, so the old city lord's father handed over the Tiangongluo to the two of them, hoping that they would go together so that they could take care of him. However, something unexpected happened before leaving, and Jin Wudu could only take it with him. Go to Linlang Market with the escort."
"Jin Wudu went there for several days. Fortunately, he finally returned safely. Moreover, he gained a lot this time and got a lot of treasures, especially one of the boxes, which he offered as a treasure. But that paragraph The old city lord was handing over the matter, and even though Jin Wudu kicked the door open, he had no time to be distracted... But that night, when I heard the news and the old city lord came to the Jin family, what I saw was the corpses of the Jin family strewn on the ground, with blood The scene of a river flowing... Dozens of members of the whole family and all the guards were not spared... The smell of blood was so strong that the moonlight that night was dyed red..."
"Yangdu City has been peaceful for a hundred years, and there have been few casualties. The old city lord was naturally very angry, but for some reason, he abnormally told me that if the news about the genocide of the Jin family spread, it would definitely cause panic, and asked me to lead him Waiting for the Jinpeng clan to deal with this matter, and then investigate secretly... Although I was puzzled, I could only follow the instructions, clean up the corpses and blood stains, and fake the scene of the Jin family moving out of this place, although there were still many doubts. , but it gradually subsided over time..."
"But when I was counting the things later, I felt very strange. There was almost no loss of the Jin family's money and treasures. There were only two things missing. One was the box that Jin Wudu brought back, and the other was the half-full box that Jin Wudu had brought back. Year old baby boy…”
Jin Zhuer's expression changed, and she thought to herself: What the old bastard said was actually true. Could it be that the real gentleman killed someone and took away the treasure in the box? But if that's the case, then why did the gentleman take the baby boy away?
She was about to ask about the whereabouts of the baby boy, but she heard King Jinpeng continue: "The Jin family has ruined dozens of lives in vain, but their deaths are unknown. It has always made me brood and feel guilty. Over the years, I have also I have been secretly pursuing this matter, and although I haven’t discovered the murderer yet, I have found out two things related to it!”
"The first thing that happened was that two strange figures appeared in Yangdu City at night. One of them was a man in black robe with a purple sachet around his waist. However, this person was so good that he disappeared after entering the city. The other person was This woman was looked at carefully by my clansman. According to his description..."
Jin Zhuer looked nervous when she heard this. Although she did follow the third prince, she had almost no contact with King Jinpeng. Now that she thought about it, she might be the spy arranged by her husband to be beside the third prince, and she felt even more uneasy. If She was found to be an accomplice in the tragedy of genocide. I was afraid that she would not be able to get out of this secret prison today... So she quietly turned sideways and pulled up her sleeves to cover her face.
"Jin Zhuer? What happened to you today... Why do you feel something is wrong with you?" The third prince asked with a frown when he saw Jin Zhuer's uneasy look.
"I...I..." Seeing everyone staring at her, Jin Zhuer didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. After all, she had a deep relationship with the third prince and You Ya, so naturally she couldn't kill him, but if she left directly, if she was alarmed The guards outside would not only make it difficult for him to escape, but would also put the two of them in danger, which he didn't want to see.
"I see...I know! Sister Jin Zhuer...you..." Youya looked at Jin Zhuer's face and suddenly her expression changed, and she reached out to touch it.
Jin Zhuer's heart tightened and she thought: This Youya is very thoughtful and must have discovered something strange about me... It's a pity that I have to live up to my husband's arrangement!
Just when she was thinking wildly, she saw Youya pinched a finger of medicated powder on her hand, applied it on Jin Zhuer's cheek, and said: "Sister Jin Zhuer, although this scratch is a minor matter, there is something stained on the wound. It’s still not easy to heal due to some toxicity, but don’t touch it with your sleeves!”
"Ouch..." Jin Zhuer was touched by Youya like this, and she remembered that she was scratched by a branch on the road before, but she never paid attention to it. At this time, she only reacted when she heard Youya said it, and she hesitated with a sigh of relief. Said: "This... this is just a minor injury. I don't want sister Lao Youya to bother..."
"Girl, are you okay?" King Jinpeng looked at Jin Zhuer with stern eyes, and then said with a faint smile: "Jin Zhuer, right? I often heard the third prince mention you before, but I have never met you. Third prince, please help me." You took the trouble.”
"Uh...this is what I should..." Seeing that King Jinpeng's expression did not change, Jin Zhuer finally felt relieved.
King Jinpeng nodded and continued: "What did you just say... Yes, my tribe happened to see that woman that night... But the woman had a bloated belly and seemed to be pregnant. My tribe wanted to escort her for a while. , but smelled the smell of blood, and then turned around and left... It was also he who discovered the Jin family's affairs for the first time and informed me..."
"Bang!" As soon as King Jinpeng finished speaking, Jin Zhuer punched the rockery next to him with a livid face, causing gravel to fall. Her face turned livid, and she secretly cursed who was so blind that he could think that she was pregnant?
"Sorry! The wound hurt too much and I couldn't bear it! Sister Youya, go over there and help me apply the medicine!" Jin Zhuer gritted her teeth and pulled Youya away.
"Haha... This Jin Zhu'er is quite strong..." King Jin Peng touched the rockery that accompanied him day and night. There was an extra crack on it, and he felt a little distressed. He sighed and continued: "The second thing is that I I heard that the only surviving baby boy of the Jin family was taken away by an old slave who once worked in the Jin family."
"Huh? Senior Mu, I remember that the old man said that an old slave of the Jin family brought something to Jinsha Temple...could it be this baby boy?" the third prince asked.
"According to the information currently available, it is very possible." Mu Fengchun nodded, "It's just a pity that the Jin family finally left a continuation, but became a monk." Mu Fengchun touched I touched the two volumes of "Green Lantern Book" and "Thinking of the Daughter" hidden in my arms, thinking that since the baby boy has been cleansed, these worldly things can no longer be contaminated, and he can finally keep them as his own in a fair and just way. .
"If some of you are lucky enough to meet this descendant of the Jin family, please take the trouble to tell him. I originally wanted to help find out the truth of the matter according to the old city lord's instructions, but I didn't expect that I was behind bars and couldn't protect myself. No matter how difficult it is, Help!”
"Senior King Jinpeng has something to do, but it's okay...it's just that the Jinsha Temple has been destroyed and everyone is scattered. It's really difficult to find a descendant of the Jin family who has never met..."
"This..." King Jin Peng frowned and forgot about this kind of thing. He squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "I remember that this Jin family has a fear of heights. Whenever they reach high places, they will be afraid of heights. Weak... No, no, this is not obvious enough. I can't let you just lift it to everyone... Hey! Yes! When the Jin family's baby was one month old, I met the city lord once. If I remember correctly, the tip of his nose There is a black mole the size of a sesame seed in the middle!"
"A mole on the tip of your nose? Huh? According to what you said, why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?" Mu Fengchun nodded his nose and started thinking.
