Being stared at by Zhao Li's captivating gaze, Zhao Zhulian and Shen Yuejiao took two steps back with guilty conscience.
Seeing their reactions, Zhao Li's eyes darkened, which further confirmed his suspicion.
This group of men in black who were piled up into a mountain of corpses must have something to do with the Shen family!
Zhao Zhulian knew that she couldn't hide, but she still scolded: "How outrageous! Since you know that we are the women of Shangshu Mansion, you dare to be so rude to us. My master often goes to Master Fu Yin's house to drink, and the two of them become friends." Very good, if you offend us, Mr. Fu Yin will not let you go!"
"Mrs. Shen, I am also acting under orders. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me." Zhao Li's voice sank, "After all, this matter is of great importance and has even alarmed His Majesty. Madam, it is better to cooperate with me." Come on."
"What did you say? Did you alert His Majesty?" After hearing Zhao Li's words, Zhao Zhulian was even more horrified.
God, why is it so difficult to get rid of Shen Liuli?
We had obviously planned everything, how could such a mess happen?
Shen Yuejiao thought of something and suddenly asked, "Then how can Shen Liuli leave?"
Zhao Li said neither humble nor arrogantly: "When Miss Shen walked into Yunchan Temple, all the kids saw it. Miss Shen came after you, so this matter must have nothing to do with her."
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that it is related to us?" Shen Yuejiao asked through gritted teeth.
Zhao Li raised his head: "Miss Shen, isn't this obvious?"
"You chose the day to pray today, and you asked the abbot to arrange the monastery. There are so many coincidences that I have to be suspicious."
"What's more, why don't these corpses appear elsewhere but in your Zen monastery?"
This fatal question left Shen Yuejiao speechless and looked at Zhao Zhulian for help.
The latter didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, Jiaojiao. Mother has already sent someone to notify your father. When your father comes over, he will definitely not let anyone harm us."
Hearing this, Shen Yuejiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come here, please keep an eye on Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen. Don't let them leave the Zen courtyard." Zhao Li ordered in a deep voice.
"no!"
As soon as Zhao Li finished speaking, Zhao Zhulian interrupted: "We are the female relatives of officials after all, how can we stay with so many corpses?"
Zhao Li's tone was lukewarm, "Mrs. Shen, we have to search other monasteries. We don't have enough manpower, so we can only detain you in this monastery. When my brothers are guarding this monastery, they can also keep an eye on it." You guys, this can save a few manpower."
"you--"
Zhao Zhulian still wanted to resist, but Zhao Li interrupted her without giving her a chance to speak.
"Okay, it's settled." Zhao Li ordered: "You guys, keep an eye on me here!"
"yes!"
Zhao Zhulian and Shen Yuejiao were forced to stay with piles of corpses.
They huddled in corners as much as possible, avoiding looking at the corpses.
But there were too many people dead, and the smell of blood permeated the surroundings and would float over from time to time.
As soon as the mother and daughter smelled the bloody smell, they immediately started vomiting non-stop.
-
In another quiet Zen courtyard of Yunchan Temple, Shen Liuli sat quietly under the pavilion, drinking tea leisurely.
Chu Yun told Shen Liuli the situation of Zhao Zhulian and Shen Yuejiao one by one, as if telling a play.
When it came to the latter part, Chu Yun couldn't help himself and burst into laughter.
"No, no, no, miss, I'm really laughing so hard that I can't stop laughing!"
"You don't know how miserable the mother and daughter are now. The officers and soldiers didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. When checking the corpses, they would throw the corpses in their direction from time to time."
"Every time at this time, the mother and daughter would scream loudly, hugging and crying like frightened hens."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Shen Liuli curled her lips, with a faint smile on her lips.
After Chu Yun had laughed enough, Shen Liuli turned to Chu Shuang, who was silent at the side, and asked, "Did you say what I asked you to tell Ling Qing?"
Chu Shuang nodded: "Miss, don't worry, we have already said it. With Ling Qing's speed, it must have been done."
"So fast?" Shen Liuli was stunned, with a bit of playful anticipation in his eyes.
The speed is so fast, so the show should be on soon, right?
-
Zhao Li had a cold face and rushed to the Zen courtyard filled with corpses.
"Have you not found the suspicious person yet?" Zhao Li asked in a deep voice toward his subordinates who were surrounding him.
"Sir, all the monasteries have been searched and there are no suspicious persons."
"No problem at all?" Zhao Li asked again.
The subordinate replied: "Except for the corpse appearing out of thin air in this Zen monastery, there is nothing suspicious."
Zhao Li's face darkened, his eyes turned to the rooms in the Zen Yuan, and he said word by word: "In that case, search this Zen Yuan carefully for me!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in and turned the Zen courtyard upside down.
"Mom, what are they looking for?" Shen Yuejiao asked in confusion.
Zhao Zhulian shook his head, "Mom, I don't know. It seems that today is really a big deal."
I just hope that the emperor will not blame the Shen family.
Because of Shen Liuli, Jun Shengze became even more unfavorable to the Shen family.
"Mom, they seem to have found something!"
At this time, Shen Yuejiao saw an officer and soldier holding something and hurriedly ran towards Zhao Li.
Zhao Zhulian followed her gaze and looked over, and when she saw clearly what was in the hands of the officer and soldier, there was a bit of confusion in her eyes.
"Sir, look at this."
The officers and soldiers presented what they had in their hands.
Zhao Li glanced at it and was obviously stunned, "A man's underpants?"
No one expected that dozens of officers and soldiers turned the Yunchan Temple upside down and found only a pair of men's underpants.
And looking at the texture, it's really high quality, with a five-clawed dragon pattern embroidered with silver thread on it.
This is……
Something royal.
Zhao Li's face darkened, "Bring it to me and see!"
The officers and soldiers quickly presented the things.
Zhao Li looked around and finally found a row of delicate small characters embroidered with gold thread on the trousers.
After seeing the words above clearly, a look of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Li's face.
He immediately turned his head and glanced at Shen Yuejiao, who was huddled in the corner.
His eyes were dark and unclear, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shen Yuejiao was stunned and asked Zhao Zhulian: "Mom, why is he staring at me?"
Zhao Zhulian shook her head and murmured in a low voice: "I don't know, mother, or who is shameless enough to leave a man's underpants here."
"A man's underpants?" Shen Yuejiao exclaimed, her eyes widening.
Reminiscent of the way Zhao Li looked at her just now, she instantly had a premonition of something, and her little face was filled with panic.
While panicking, I was still holding on to the last bit of luck.
Maybe that thing isn't hers?
But she was destined to be disappointed.
Because Zhao Li walked towards them with the pair of underpants.
When he walked up to the two of them, Zhao Li knelt down and put the baby clothes in Shen Yuejiao's hands.
"Miss Shen, please check carefully. Is this your thing?"
"Nonsense, these are a man's underpants, how could they be mine?" Shen Yuejiao hurriedly threw the things out.
But she looked so guilty.
Zhao Zhulian didn't know why, so she picked up the pair of underpants and glared at Zhao Li fiercely.
He screamed angrily: "You bitch slave, what are you thinking?"
"My daughter hasn't left the government yet, are you deliberately ruining her reputation?"
"This is obviously a pair of men's underpants, how could it be my daughter's?"
Zhao Li coughed awkwardly and reminded aloud: "Mrs. Shen, you'd better take a look at the embroidered words on the trousers."
Zhao Zhulian was stunned and subconsciously looked at the position of his trousers.
Shen Yuejiao quickly stopped her, "Mom, don't look!"
But it was too late. Before she could grab the trousers, Zhao Zhulian had already seen the small print on the trousers.
Immediately, Zhao Zhulian's expression also changed.
Because there are eight meaningful small words embroidered on the trousers:
As bright as the sun, as delicate as the moon...
