It's getting dark.
Lu Ze stopped investigating the case and followed Shen Qian and his wife to live in the guest house prepared for them by the Huang family.
Qi Yuning went into Lu Ze's room to have dinner with him and Lu Yun.
After the meal, Qi Yuning said: "Since the "adulterer" was the only one in Shen Nian's room that day, could it be that he killed Huang Rui? But Shen Nian said that she had not let Huang Rui enter her room for a long time. , that "adulterer" went to Shen Nian's room to kill people, and wanted to slander Shen Nian even if he died, for what purpose?"
Lu Ze said: "I don't think Shen Nian's room is a place for killing people."
Qi Yuning said: "Huh?"
Lu Ze said: "Huang Rui's body is huge, and he looks like a strong martial arts practitioner. If you want to murder him, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. If Huang Rui had just been murdered in that room, there would definitely be a dispute, and Huang Rui must be killed." Suffocation, I don’t think one person can do it.”
"After dinner, let's go find Man Niang and ask Huang Rui if there was any abnormality during his lifetime."
"Little Master, Master, are you in there?"
Qi Yuning heard Huang Fei's voice outside the door and even hid inside.
Huang Fei walked straight in and saw two handsome monks having a meal. He narrowed his squinting eyes and said, "Master Shuiqing is having a meal..."
Lu Ze narrowed his eyes when he saw Huang Fei coming and said, "What orders does Second Young Master Huang have?"
Huang Fei looked at Lu Ze's slender fingers and his big hands that were tender and tender enough to see the joints. He reached out and touched Lu Ze's big hands, "Master Shui Qing's hands are so beautiful!"
Lu Ze withdrew his hand in disgust.
Lu Yun looked on with a frown and said, "Where did you come from? How dare you tease me...my senior brother!"
Huang Fei looked at Lu Yun and said, "How dare you, a little monk, speak to me like this!"
Lu Yun said angrily: "Why can't I talk to you like this? My senior brother is a senior monk and was invited to give salvation to your elder brother. It's a good thing that you dare to come and tease me."
Huang Fei said: "I'm not teasing you at all. I fell in love with Master Shui Qing at first sight, and I really want to be on good terms with Master Shui Qing."
Huang Fei continued to reach out and touch Lu Ze's hand, "As long as Master Shui Qing follows me, I guarantee that Master Shui Qing will never want to return to the temple again. It won't be long before I accept the military power of Long You Dao. This Long Within the scope of the right lane, whatever I say is what I say..."
After listening to Huang Fei's words, Lu Ze did not take back his hand and asked, "How could the military power of Longyou Road be given to the second young master?"
Huang Fei took the opportunity to touch Lu Ze's hand a few more times. It is rare to see such a handsome man in the northwest. "The Qi family who is looking for death dares to raise an army. My father is already old. He has no intention of going to the battlefield even after his eldest brother is dead." Now, this military power will all be mine from now on, Master, you won’t lose anything by following me.”
Qi Yuning listened to Huang Fei's words inside and suddenly understood why Shen Nian was so falsely accused.
Outside, Lu Ze said to Huang Fei: "Second Young Master Huang, the monk has received a large sum of money from the Shen family to clear Shen Nian's name. Now there are still important matters at hand, and it is important to find the real culprit."
Huang Fei said: "You little goblin, after following this young master, are you still worried about having no money?"
Lu Ze let go of his hand, no longer being taken advantage of by Huang Fei and said: "The Shen family is still here. If the second young master can really give the young monk ten thousand taels of silver, it is better to wait three days."
Huang Fei looked at Lu Ze's stunning beauty and said, "Beauties have to wait a little longer..."
Huang Fei said: "Master, it's a good rest."
After Huang Fei led the people away, Lu Yun looked at Lu Ze with disdain and said, "Brother, why were you so disgusting just now? That Huang Fei is so shameless! You still call me a playboy, but I don't want to be too upright compared to him. !”
Qi Yuning came out, looked at Lu Ze's big hands and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands."
Lu Ze smiled lightly and poured water to wash his hands, and said to Qi Yuning: "I was curious before about why adultery was used as a reason to murder Shen Nian, but now I understand."
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "The Qin family is really vicious."
Lu Yun looked at Lu Ze and Qi Yuning with a blank look on his face and said, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand at all?"
Qi Yuning said: "Dasheng Jiedushi are all hereditary. Except for Shuofang Jiedushi, who has always been a member of the Shen family, the other Jiedushi are all succeeded by their eldest son and grandson! Like Huang Tao's Jiedushi The position of envoy should have been inherited by Huang Rui. When Huang Rui died having a son, it was Huang Rui's eldest son Han Geer who should inherit the position of envoy."
Lu Ze nodded and said: "By using Shen Nian's adultery as an excuse and talking about Brother Han's bloodline, Huang Tao will definitely leave the position of Jiedushi to his second son Huang Fei instead of Huang Rui's eldest son."
Lu Yun understood, "So, do you mean that it was Huang Fei who killed Huang Rui?"
Lu Ze said: "It's just a guess. Let's go to Man Niang first to ask about the situation."
Lu Ze and Qi Yuning went to the courtyard where Manniang was, and from afar they could hear the melodious sound of the guqin, and Manniang's faint singing voice.
Lu Ze listened to Man Niang's singing and said, "I do have a good voice."
Qi Yuning entered Man Niang's house and saw a woman dressed in white in the courtyard, holding a small lamp and playing the piano quietly.
Seeing a monk and a woman appear at the door, Manniang frowned and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Lu Ze clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk is here to investigate the cause of Mr. Huang Rui's death. I hope you will cooperate."
Man Niang gently stroked the guqin and said, "Why did you come to me?"
Lu Ze stared straight at Man Niang and said, "Huang Rui's figure, if not when he is least alert, neither of them can hold him down by the mouth and nose and murder him."
Man Niang sneered and said: "So you suspect that I killed my husband? What a joke, how could I kill my husband? My husband is so good to me. He also said that when he greets the Qi family's soldiers and horses, he will be with the Qi family's soldiers and horses. Go to the court to quell the rebellion, and after you gain fame, you will negotiate a reconciliation with Sister Shen and marry me, how could I kill him?"
Qi Yuning listened to Manniang's words and said, "What did you say? Huang Rui said that he would welcome Qi family soldiers and horses into Longzhou City?"
Man Niang said: "Yes, my husband, what he admires most is the Qi family army. When he learned that the Qi family army had arrived in Liangzhou, he originally wanted to go out of the city to meet him. He was very happy that day and told me that he was going to meet him. King Qi, I didn’t expect that he couldn’t even see King Qi later…”
Qi Yuning frowned and looked at Manniang, wondering for a moment if she already knew his identity and said that on purpose.
Man Niang said: "I don't have the ability to kill my husband. I also believe that my husband was not angry to death because of Sister Shen's adultery. Sister Shen has long been unwilling to forgive him, and my husband has long since lost his relationship with Sister Shen." ”
Qi Yuning looked into Manniang's eyes and said, "You said Huang Rui would marry you with the Shen family girl? This is absolutely impossible, they have a child together!"
Man Niang said: "I don't know if my husband is trying to coax me, or if he wants to scare the lady and ask for her forgiveness.
Husband, he still has a lot of far-reaching revenge, he still wants to get rid of the Qin family, he will never let himself be angry to death..."
Lu Ze asked: "What if we exclude the Qin family?"
Man Niang said: "My husband's mother was killed by a daughter of the Qin family. Now Qin Jiedushi's wife relied on the fact that she was the queen's niece, causing her husband's mother to die in childbirth.
My husband has remembered this hatred since he was sensible and has always kept it in his heart. He has not avenged his revenge, so how can he be so angry to death so easily? "(End of chapter)
