Jin Tiaojiang naturally had doubts about Jin Jinghong's death. However, after his investigation, he found nothing suspicious and simply attributed the matter to an accident. Now that he heard Nong Yue suddenly say such words, Jin Tiaojiang's originally calm heart suddenly surged with thunder, and his expression could no longer calm down.
Yue'er hadn't gone very far when she heard the man behind her finally speak: "What do you know about Jinghong's death?"
The names of Yue'er and Feng'er "Nongyue and Yinfeng" were mentioned before. It was probably because the Green Ghost King couldn't bear the boredom and emptiness in Fengdu, so he named the two maids around him after "Yinfeng Nongyue".
After all, the two of them have been following the Green Ghost King for a long time, and they are also familiar with the latter's charming skills. Although they are far behind, they are still somewhat famous. This month Yue'er just realized that she was not strong enough when negotiating with Jin Tongjiang, and wanted to try again with the art of flattery! However, he found that Jin Tiaojiang "has a bright moon in his heart and is inviolable" and was extremely disappointed.
However, after this loss, she instantly understood why the powerful Green Ghost King decided to have a private life with a person who was not as powerful as herself. These two Jinpeng brothers are both of good minds and have a loyal heart that will not be shaken by desires. Of course, they are the best choices that can be entrusted to them for the rest of their lives!
Since not even the Green Ghost King's charming skills can disturb King Jinpeng's heart, Yue'er doesn't believe that her three-legged cat skills can shake the mind of this unpredictable man, so she can only put away her blasphemy and say: Be respectful from the bottom of your heart.
But respect is due to respect, Yue'er knows the Green Ghost King's bad temper! They were deeply affected by the pain of losing their son. If King Jinpeng's death was discovered by King Qinggui, he would probably kill them alive!
Yue'er's mind was racing as she spoke. But now it was too hard, let alone soft, and she was crying and preparing to go back to Feng'er to discuss it again. But just when she turned around and took a few steps, she suddenly remembered that she saw Jin Tiaojiang's face through the roof tiles, and she also said a word, but unexpectedly it caught Jin Tiaojiang's attention. He shouted to himself.
Although she had some selfish motives, Yue'er did not dare to say anything without any basis. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around with a serious face and explained in a deep voice: "Senior, Jin Peng You must know the king’s strength better than anyone else. I wonder if you have ever questioned this question. How could King Jinpeng be burned to death in vain by an unknown evil fire with his strength?”
Jin Tiaojiang nodded when he heard this: "Of course I understand what you said... As far as I know, Jinghong and Huang You drank too much and fell unconscious that day. Although both of them were extraordinary in strength, in the final analysis It’s a body of flesh and blood! How can this body of flesh and blood resist the natural disaster when it is defenseless?”
Because the investigation results of the Jinpeng clan were exactly the same that day, Yue'er probably expected that Jin Tiaojiang would say such a thing, but she did not refute: "Senior is right, but have you ever thought that this incident is not a natural disaster, but a natural disaster?" Is it a man-made disaster?"
"Man-made disaster?" Jin Tiaojiang perked up after hearing this, and his breathing quickened. "What do you mean by man-made disaster? Could it be that someone in the Jinpeng clan wanted to frame Jing Hongbu on purpose?"
Yue'er felt the man's aura in front of her, and her body felt a faint burning pain, and she groaned in pain. The latter felt that his emotions were out of control, and he quickly calmed down his aura and said sorry.
"It's okay, senior, don't be nervous..." Yue'er didn't pay attention to this matter, just shook her head lightly and continued: "Actually, we also had this suspicion at the beginning, but after careful investigation, we didn't find anyone related to Jin Peng. King Jinpeng enmity! And if this matter is aimed at King Jinpeng, there must be many hidden dangers around King Jinpeng. However, after we carefully checked the things related to King Jinpeng, we did not find any threats... So we feel that this matter must be There’s something fishy!”
"Because the search has been fruitless, Feng'er and I were a little discouraged. We were worried that we had made some omissions, so we had to start over again... But because the previous scene was very chaotic, we did not investigate carefully, and we were also worried that something might happen. Lost the clue. Fortunately, something unusual happened later, which finally caught our attention..."
"Abnormal?" Jin Tiaojiang frowned.
"Yes! When King Jinpeng was buried that day, Feng'er and I had been lurking around the team, hoping to catch some clues, but nothing was found until the end, so the two of us could only turn around and leave. But on the way back, Feng'er suddenly grabbed me and said that she had noticed a very familiar smell just now and wanted to go to the scene of the incident to check again."
"Because Feng'er is good at catching changes in airflow, I think she must have found some clues and followed her to the place where the fire broke out..."
One more thing, although King Qinggui originally named the two of them because of boredom and emptiness, since he gave them names, he also wanted to make the best use of them, so he taught Yinfeng the art of "catching the wind" and "catching the wind". The art of "catching shadows" was taught to Nong Yue. Therefore, the former can capture information by feeling changes in airflow, and the latter can capture information by feeling fluctuations in light and shadow. This is why Yue'er was sent to meet Jin Tiaojiang at night, not to mention.
"Back here again, the tragic situation in front of us still remains the same as that day. Feng'er and I took advantage of no one to disturb us and re-checked the situation of the scene... But the fire here was so fierce that nothing was burned. , I really couldn’t find anything, so I waited for Feng’er’s results.”
"Just when I was impatient, I heard a surprised sound from Feng'er's mouth, rummaging for something in the ashes. I saw that Feng'er had discovered something, and didn't want to stand by and watch, so I helped him turn over the collapsed wall. I opened it and found a burnt, black and broken wine jar underneath."
"Logically speaking, there is really nothing noteworthy about this wine jar, but Feng'er reached out and pinched some dust on the inner wall of the wine jar! I stepped forward and took a sniff, and found out that the dust was Hua Gu Powder !”
"Because the two of us have seen the body of King Jinpeng before, but at that time we just thought it was because the fire was so fierce that they were incinerated! Now when I think about it again, I suddenly realize that the body of King Jinpeng is in worse condition than that of the senior who lost his arm... Much more..." Yue'er was worried that Jin Tiaojiang would lose control again, so she didn't dare to speak too carefully.
Jin Tiaojiang's face was gloomy, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Huang You practices the art of bone softening, so the Huagu Powder cannot completely corrode his muscles and bones... From this point of view, the two of them did not die in the fire, but He was poisoned!"
"Senior is right... When we went to pick up the seventh princess from King Jinpeng on the day of the incident, we happened to find a box in the courtyard. Later we heard that this was what King Jinpeng did for that..." Yue'er thought about it carefully and then remembered After hearing the name just mentioned in the mouth of the Jinting River, he also continued: "...for the sake of the fine wine that Senior Huang You brought, so we think that the original intention of the person who prepared Huagu Powder was to get rid of Senior Huang You, and King Jinpeng just drank it by mistake. Poisoned wine..." (Part 3, Chapter 309)
At this point, Yue'er's body suddenly trembled, and she knelt down in front of Jin Tiaojiang again: "Senior! In fact, we had noticed something strange in the box at that time, but we just didn't take it to heart. If we could have warned King Jinpeng in time, Maybe... maybe this kind of thing won't happen... This is Yue'er's fault, and Yue'er is willing to be punished..."
Jin Tiaojiang's face was extremely bitter: "The reason why I hide my identity is that I don't want to get involved in anything with the Jinpeng clan. How do you want me to punish you? What's more, the poisoner acted so covertly, even if you can stop it for a while. , but it can’t be stopped for the rest of my life! It’s not your fault...you don’t have to take it to heart!”
Jin Tiao said this at the mouth of the river, but he felt bitter in his heart. After fifteen years of staying out of trouble, the Jinpeng clan stayed in peace for fifteen years. But it happened that Huang You had just come into contact with him a few days ago, and then something like this happened. Could it be that something was really determined, and that once he set foot in it, he could never be separated from it?
He originally thought that as long as he hid his identity and waited for the disaster to come, he would no longer implicate others. Now that things have reached this point, it seems that the Jinpeng tribe can no longer stay for a long time...
"But..." Yue'er was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jin Tiaojiang's movement. The latter raised two fingers, and Yue'er's body was lifted up by a strong wind.
"You don't need to worry too much. Just follow Jinghong's instructions and take good care of Xiao Qi. As for Jinghong's matter, you don't have to interfere..." Jin Tiaojiang raised his head and looked at the sky, only to realize that the top of his head was already turning white.
Then, he reached out and took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Yue'er: "Miss Yue'er, please help me give this parting gift to that kid Jin Yin! That kid's comprehension ability is not weak, so he shouldn't need me. Already…”
"It's not troublesome...it's not troublesome..." Yue'er carefully took the booklet and saw the three characters "Golden Velvet Needle" written on it, and she hurriedly put it in her arms. But the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. Her almond-shaped eyes opened in an instant and she exclaimed: "A parting gift? Senior...you...you want to leave?"
"Yeah... I've rested for too long, it's time to go out and do some exercise!" Jin Tiaojiang clenched his fists and stood up straight, with bursts of popping noises coming from the joints all over his body. Seeing Yue'er grunting, Jin Tiaojiang also chuckled and touched the latter's head, stuffing a kit into her palm: "Don't worry, little girl... You don't have to worry about Qinggui King. If it's If she really comes to your door, as long as you take out the note and read the words on it silently three times, she will never embarrass you again."
"Then...thank you, senior!"
Yue'er was a little ashamed after someone saw through her thoughts, and then lowered her head...
