Ling Qiaoer died.
His limbs were chopped off alive, and he was thrown into a cauldron and cooked into a pot of rotten meat.
It took Zhao An a long time to digest the news, but the pot of rotten meat in front of him was so impactful that it was difficult to connect it with the charming and talented woman.
Why did Hao Duanduan die?
Zhao An squatted in the corner and vomited.
The killing of a stranger and the killing of an acquaintance are completely different concepts.
Fear is like maggots attached to the bones, which is unbearable!
"Sir, are you okay?"
Chen Qun was there to help pat his back.
Zhao An wiped his mouth with red eyes, not daring to look at the cauldron anymore, and asked people to put it away quickly.
Chen Qun did not dare to neglect, so he immediately sent the cauldron to Jingzhao Mansion and arranged for them to conduct a careful inspection, which might reveal some clues.
Zhao An entered Cuilan Garden with a sullen expression.
At this moment, Xiu Sanniang had led the girls in the garden to wait in the hall, and Qian Yuwei also came down. She was dressed in a snow-white robe, supporting the wind and weak willows, and her beautiful big eyes were stained with tears. I felt pity for her.
Ling Qiaoer was rescued by Zhao An himself and later arranged to be with Qian Yuwei.
Now that she is dead, Qian Yuwei has become the most critical figure.
Zhao An thought for a while and asked what happened?
Qian Yuwei said bitterly: "Sir, I don't know what happened to the little girl. Miss Ling Qiaoer was saved by Mr. Zhou and Jinxiu that day and stayed in Cuilan Garden without any conflict. Who would have thought that today... "
She couldn't speak anymore and sobbed while wiping her tears.
The faces of the other girls were not pretty either. After all, it was the girl from Cuilan Garden who died. They were scared and worried about being implicated.
Xiu Sanniang said sadly: "I don't know who killed a thousand swords. Could it be that he was ruthless because he failed to court?"
Chen Qun said: "Even so, it won't kill people."
Ling Qiaoer was Chen Guogong's lover outside the palace. The only possibility was that someone had coveted her beauty in the study and was humiliated. Therefore, after Chen Guogong fell, he took cruel measures.
But these are just speculations.
Zhao An's mood was messed up, and his cruel killing methods made people couldn't help but think of Luo Qingshuang.
The old witch liked this kind of killing trick the most, and at least she could count the number of people she killed with cruel methods.
Furthermore, she had said before that she wanted to kill Qian Yuwei, saying that Qian Yuwei was a disguised grandmaster and the culprit behind the family of slaying champions, so it seemed that it was not impossible for her to kill the people around Qian Yuwei now.
Zhao An called Qian Yuwei to the private room on the second floor alone.
Qian Yuwei said: "Do you suspect that the little girl is successful?"
Zhao An looked at her gentle face coldly and said, "Duke Chen Guo has committed suicide. Will the young lady's great revenge be avenged?"
"Even if she gets her revenge, the little girl is already gone and can never go back."
"Your Majesty gave Cuilan Garden to this governor, what do you think, Miss?" Zhao An took out the imperial edict.
Qian Yuwei read the content, her pretty face changed drastically, and she said faintly: "In that case, the little girl is willing to let the adults control her."
"Then tell the truth. Don't tell me that you don't know who killed Ling Qiaoer."
Zhao An's expression became much more serious. Qian Yuwei opened her mouth, but finally shook her head, "I don't know."
"snort!"
Zhao An stood up suddenly, grabbed her soft little hand, and she exclaimed, thrusting her whole body into his arms.
Zhao An pinched her snow-white chin hard and sneered: "Are you not aware, or are you unwilling to tell? You know very well the reason behind the rejection of others. Ling Qiaoer was once the old fox's woman, and everything about the Chen family will be liquidated. , she couldn’t escape. She was killed today, and you told me that you didn’t notice anything strange at all?”
When their eyes met, Qian Yuwei's eyes were calm, but she wanted to turn her cheek away.
Seeing this, Zhao An suddenly clenched her chin, and she exclaimed in pain: "My lord has hurt my little girl."
"Where are you? You are the Governor's woman now. Let alone teasing you, even if I strip you naked and hang you on the city gate tower, you have to admit it."
"Sir, you..."
"If you hide this little thing from me, what's the point of keeping you here?"
Zhao An tore open her robe.
Wow!
A large piece of naked shoulder is exposed to the air, the crystal collarbone exudes a hazy luster, and the deep snow-white ravine makes the animal's blood boil.
Qian Yuwei was stunned and hurriedly gathered her clothes.
Zhao An refused to give up and forcefully took off her upper body robe. Suddenly, only the silver-white bellyband was left on her chest to cover up the thrilling spring scene. Tears almost fell from her eyes, "What on earth are you going to do, sir?"
"answer the questions."
"The little girl really doesn't know. Even if the adults kill someone, what will happen to the little girl?"
Qian Yuwei shook her head bitterly, her curled eyelashes stained with tears, looking pitiful.
Zhao An frowned, secretly wondering if he had wrongly blamed her?
Hesitantly, he heard footsteps.
She subconsciously turned around and saw Xu Ruqing and Jiuyin standing outside the door. She was startled by the scene in front of her and immediately looked away with a blushing face.
"What are you doing?"
"Ahem!"
Zhao An's head grew bigger and he helped Qian Yuwei get dressed. His toes almost dug through the floor in embarrassment, "Why are you here?"
"I want to chat with the factory governor, but I don't want to disturb the factory governor's enjoyment."
Xu Ruqing was filled with ridicule, while Jiuyin leaned against the wall with his sword in his arms, looking like a beast.
Qian Yuwei gathered her clothes and sat at the table without saying a word.
Xu Ruqing immediately gave Jiuyin a look, and Jiuyin strode over and took Qian Yuwei away, not forgetting to gouge out her eyes before leaving.
Zhao An knew that he was in the wrong and didn't know what to say when he met Xu Ruqing face to face.
Xu Ruqing said: "Sir, are you trying a case?"
"The trial is a matter for the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. What does it have to do with me? Miss Xu seems to be very interested in this case." Zhao An poured a cup of tea, his face not red and his heart not beating.
"After all, Miss Ling Qiaoer is a member of the literary club and my friend. It is reasonable for the young lady to come to help with the funeral arrangements."
"Miss Xu knows who the murderer is?"
"Queen Mother."
Xu Ruqing's words are not shocking and he will die.
Zhao An was startled and quickly covered her mouth.
Damn girl, I don’t want my life!
You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately.
Although it was really an old witch who did it, she should still pretend that she didn't know.
Xu Ruqing took away her big hand and said sternly: "It seems that sir also doubts her, and that's right. She is the only one in the whole capital who has such vicious tricks. I just don't understand why she killed Miss Ling. There should be no intersection between the two. "
Zhao An held his chin in despair, looking out the window and worrying.
After getting rid of Chen Guogong, I thought that the situation in the capital would soon become clear. I also thought that after the empress took control of the power, she would leave the capital and become a rich man. Now it seems that she is simply thinking too much.
There is an invisible layer of fog covering the capital, giving people an inexplicable sense of panic. I hope Ling Qiaoer's death is not a danger signal.
