After An Dafang stepped into Liu's Mansion, he was stunned by the sight before him; two corpses of a man and a woman wearing servant clothes were lying on the ground. A hole was opened in the chest of the man's corpse, and blood was still dripping from it. The female corpse was pale and bloodless, and there was an obvious tooth mark on her neck, which showed that the blood had obviously been sucked dry.
The originally clear water in the pond was also dyed red, with several black carps sticking their heads out and spitting bubbles in the bloody water. The branches beside the path were broken and sporadic blood stains were stained on the broken branches. Liu Mansion was filled with blood mist.
"This is so tragic. Who could do such a cruel thing to Liu Mansion?" Huan Yu felt like he was about to vomit after seeing this scene.
"We don't know yet. We are all too late. Let's check first to see if there are any survivors in Liu Mansion?" Si Ruoshui patted Huan Yu on the shoulder.
"Who is sneaking around? Come out." An Dafang shouted sharply, and shot out a tiger-headed force toward a dark shadow.
"It's such a strong punch, I almost got hit by you." The white energy became smaller and smaller, and slowly dissipated into nothingness.
A person slowly walked out of the black shadow. He was eight feet long. He was dressed in dark blue brocade clothes. A unicorn was embroidered with gold thread on the chest. The dark blue cloak fluttered in the wind as the person walked. His black hair was embroidered with a unicorn. The simple poplar wood hairpin is tied up meticulously, and there is still a trace of white energy left on the dark iron ruler in his hand. No one could see his face clearly because it was completely obscured by a ghost mask full of fangs.
"Defang, stop it." Si Ruoshui was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that the incident in the Liu Mansion would actually alert the ghost face, the leader of the three eagle hunters under the Tingwei Mansion, to come here in person?"
"To each other, isn't the head of the Xuanwu Academy of the Jingwei Mansion also here in person?" Guimian nodded slightly towards Si Ruoshui.
"Since Brother Gui came here one step ahead of us, I wonder what the current situation is like in the Liu Mansion?" An Dafang asked, but in his heart he was still thinking about continuing to test his fists with Gui.
"This must be the head security guard of Xuanwu Academy. Recently, my name has been spread among all ages in Jinling City, haha." Ghost Face praised An Dafang at the right time: "There are more than 20 people in the whole house who are It looks like this; Mr. Liu is missing, but fortunately I saved his eldest daughter, Ms. Liu Qingyao."
"Oh? So Brother Ghost has fought against the murderer? Do you know what the murderer looks like?" Si Ruoshui suddenly became interested.
"I didn't see it clearly. When I arrived, the murderer fled immediately. However, according to the existing clues, this person has been skilled in fists and claws for at least twenty years. Moreover, this person is extremely bloodthirsty and likes to pick on young girls. Let's do it." Ghost Face held his chin in one hand, thoughtfully.
"Master Gui just said that Miss Qingyao is still alive. Can we go and visit her?" Huan Yu reminded her.
"Of course, everyone, please come with me; but Miss Qingyao was a little frightened, and sometimes she may not be conscious." There was a little regret in the ghost's face.
In the bamboo forest on the outskirts of Jinling City, Yingzhao was holding a towering bamboo with one hand while breathing heavily. A few falling bamboo leaves fell on his head, looking very miserable.
Tong Bo on the other side sat calmly on a bamboo and said with a smile: "How is it? Brother Ying, do you want to continue the competition?"
"No more competition, no more competition. If I keep running like this, I have to escape with my life. I just don't understand, where did I lose?" Yingzhao's eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"In terms of the speed of the movement, I can't believe it. However, I can use hidden weapons to control your actions so that you can't use your full strength. In the early stages of our fight, you may not feel anything. As time goes by, you Fatigue will double under the dual pressure of running and dodging hidden weapons. All I have to do is wait for you to get tired, and then you can rest and relax." Tong Bo said with a smile: "Besides, in order to stop you, I can use twenty flying missiles. Locust Stone, three hundred coins are just gone."
After resting for a moment, Yingzhao regained some of his strength and glared at Tong Bo: "You are such a philistine. Tell me, how can I help you?"
"I just want to hear the story about you and Yin Ying, and then think about this woman for a while." Tong Bo paused: "However, this person is currently in Yanyi Pavilion..."
Yingzhao saw Tong Bo stop mid-sentence: "Just tell me what to do."
"Why did Liu Ningshi suddenly get poisoned?" Seeing Liu Ningshi lying unconscious on the bed, Yuan Jin became furious, and several cooks trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Han Xun put one hand on Liu Ningshi's pulse and carefully observed her symptoms: "The complexion is blue, the lips are purple, and the whole body is cold. It's pufferfish bile poisoning."
"What do you want me to ask you? If no one speaks, don't blame me for being ruthless." Yuan Jin raised his jade fist angrily.
"Princess Princess, Miss Liu wanted to eat puffer fish again before leaving Jinling City, but none of the cooks in our posthouse knew how to cook this meal, so we had to go to Zui Feng Tower and buy one. Unexpectedly, after eating it, it turned into That's it." A slightly smarter little cook lowered his head and said, "The princess also ordered that Miss Liu should try to satisfy her any needs these days, and that's why we will do this."
"Okay, you all go down first. The princess and I still have something to discuss." Han Xun waved his sleeves, and the cooks immediately bowed their heads and exited the door as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Prime Minister Han, do you think Liu Ningshi's poisoning was accidental or someone did it deliberately?" Yuan Jin asked slightly uneasily.
"I believe this problem will be known soon. Pufferfish poison is not a trivial matter and is not easy to treat. First, block the news of Liu Ningshi's poisoning. I have a bottle of Xueshan Qingxin Pills here, which can alleviate the spread of the poison. I have worked hard for the princess to feed her every day these past two days. One, I have to go out." Han Xun took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Yuan Jin.
"Prime Minister Han. What should we do now?" Yuan Jin looked at Han Xun's slightly complicated eyes and asked.
"Liu Ningshi's poisoning has completely disrupted our previous deployment. Now we can only adapt to circumstances." Han Xun said coldly.
"Report, a group of guards from the Jingwei Mansion came and surrounded our post house." A guard in black knelt down on one knee.
"We arrived so fast, it's impossible to get out." Han Xun sighed: "It seems that our opponent has already made a plan."
In the Xuanwu Courtyard, Tong Bo waved to a young man in civilian clothes and a small hat: "Xiao Duozi, hasn't Chief An come back yet?"
"Replying to Guard Tong, the head guard went out last night and has not returned yet." The young man in cloth and hat replied respectfully.
"This is not going to be easy. Although I mobilized a team of guards to surround Wei Yiguan in the name of security, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to suppress Yuan Jin without him." Tong Bo thought to himself.
Suddenly Tong Bo's eyes lit up. He saw a snow-white pigeon leisurely eating the grains scattered on the ground in the courtyard.
"With this, the letter can be delivered in just one cup of tea. The journey from Liu Mansion to Wei Yiguan is only half an hour, so we can catch up." Tong Bo nodded with satisfaction.
The mist of Lingwu Mountain persists all year round, and Murong Li was a person who loved purity and elegance, so when the Yanyi Pavilion was first established, it was chosen to be located on the mountainside half a mile away from Fuyunting.
The outer wall of Yan Yi Guan is not very high, only one foot; the area is not very large, only one acre; in the small courtyard of the Yi Guan, snow-like rice paper is pressed against the bluestone platform with a dark red Hetian paperweight. Yin Ying, who was wearing an emerald green silk shirt and had her hair tied in a bun, held a wolf-hair pen with a glass rod in her slender hand and laid it on the rice paper to carefully depict the outline of a young man in a green shirt. She looked focused and quiet while painting.
"I didn't expect that Miss Yin not only dances gracefully, but is also so good at painting. I really don't know what else the girl doesn't know." The young man in green shirt across from him gently shook his folding fan.
"Mr. Murong is so ridiculous. He is just a hobby for the art of painting. If it weren't for the fact that the young master was naturally handsome and graceful, with jade trees facing the wind, Ying would not be able to paint good works no matter how good her painting skills were." Yin Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
"Haha! Judging from Miss Yin's complexion, the injuries on her body should be almost healed, so I'm relieved." Murong Li was secretly proud.
"It was only because of the young master's superb medical skills that Ying could recover so quickly." As Yin Ying kept waving the wolf-hair pen in her hand, Murong Li's portrait gradually appeared.
"Sir, I have something urgent to report." Wei Tianlin's urgent voice came from outside the small courtyard.
"Come in." Wei Tianlin hurried forward and whispered into Murong Li's ear.
"Is there such a thing? You go to the inner hall and wait first, I will come back later." Murong Li waved his hand and smiled at Yin Ying: "My guard just came to report that there are some unscrupulous rumors circulating in Jinling City recently. Rumors that benefit the girl.”
"Since it's just a rumor, why should you care, Master?" Yin Ying painted Murong Li's portrait extremely calmly.
"Tian Lin just posted this in the city. Miss, you can take a look." Murong Li handed a notice to Yin Ying.
"Yin Ying is from Guangling. She has been running Sanshun Bank with her father Yin Sanshi since she was a child. Her family is well off. She also received guidance from famous teachers and is proficient in playing chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as poetry and songs. But although she has a good appearance, she has a heart full of emotions. The snake and scorpion took advantage of the feelings of the young master of the Chen family in Jiangnan and conspired with his father to defraud the Chen family of all their property. It is really an outrage for both heaven and man. When Chen comes back this time, he vows to take revenge." Chen Jiawen of Guangling said in tears.
Yin Ying smiled and said: "What is written on this notice looks as funny as the story written by the teacher. Do you believe it, Master?"
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. The important thing is that this kind of notice is posted all over the city. After the common people spread rumors among themselves, if Emperor Qi finally knows about this, it will definitely cause trouble for us." Murong Li shook his folding fan lightly.
"Then how should we deal with this matter?" Yin Ying asked.
"Then we have to trouble Miss Yin to lure this person out? Let's see what he wants?" Murong Li's originally soft eyes became sharp.
