I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"What is this called?"

Emperor Yongping couldn't help stroking his forehead, his head ached.

"Your Majesty, time is urgent, and this matter must be clarified as soon as possible.

It's not good for me to directly ask the third lady right now, and it's not appropriate for others to know about this matter."

"Aiqing, do you mean that you need to know about the third wife?"

"That's right! Maybe she is the breakthrough point of this case."

"Well, the queen should know something about her situation. I asked the queen to go to the Royal Garden. If Aiqing wants to ask anything, she can directly ask the queen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Not long after, under the leadership of the maid, Gu Ming came to the imperial garden.

Not long after arriving, the empress came to the imperial garden surrounded by a group of court ladies.

"See the Empress."

"Gu Qing's family is free!"

After the routine ceremony, the empress ordered all the ladies in the palace to retreat, so as not to spread the news.

"I don't know if Madam knows anything about General Feng's third wife?"

"Well, I've been in contact with it a few times, so I can't say I understand it, but I still know some basic information.

Gu Qing's family, why do you suspect her? "

"Your Majesty, this is just my intuition, her expression is a bit unnatural, and there is probably something wrong with her.

In addition, empress, think about it, this General Feng's mansion was almost wiped out from top to bottom.

Although she is a partial wife, but she has a son, won't she be righted as soon as the limelight passes?

In theory, she had this motive. "

"Is she really so cruel?"

"Your Majesty, this is just my guess, because there is another point that is more suspicious.

According to the servants of the mansion, someone was not killed on the spot, so he made a sound to scare away the murderer.

This is a bit unreasonable. These three murderers are extremely vicious. They were going to exterminate the family, so how could they be scared away?

Anyway, they are all going to be silenced.

If weeds are not eradicated, hidden dangers will inevitably be left behind, and after such a disturbance, some servants have already seen them.

Even though you are covering your face, you will still leave some clues after all.”

"Gu Qing's family means that the murderer was scared away on purpose?"

"I can't rule out this possibility. They deliberately left more than ten people to set up a maze, and the ones they really want to keep may be the third wife, mother and son.

Because when everyone else is dead, their mother and son will be the ones who benefit the most.”

"If that's the case, this woman is terrible. But if it's not her, the damage to Gu Qing's family will be irreversible."

"That's why I didn't ask her face to face, and wanted to investigate secretly."

"Well, that would be the best"

The queen nodded and told Gu Ming what she knew.

"Thank you madam!"

After listening, Gu Ming cupped his hands and thanked, then hurriedly said goodbye.

In less than an hour, Gu Ming arrived at the location of the third lady's natal family: Wuqiao Town.

Accompanied by Bai Suzhen.

However, both of them changed their attire, Gu Ming pretended to be a businessman, and Bai Suzhen pretended to be an accompanying assistant.

According to the queen, the third wife was originally named Pan Ruoyu, and her natal family was a well-known gentry in Wuqiao Town.

Pan Ruoyu learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She is beautiful and has a good family background, so there are many people who come to her door to propose relatives, and many of them are sons with good backgrounds.

But in the end, she married General Feng and became a concubine.

The queen didn't ask more about the specific reason, but when Gu Ming came this time, he had to find out the details of Pan Ruoyu and see what kind of woman she was.

After some side-by-side inquiries, Gu Ming finally found out something about Pan Ruoyu.

Unexpectedly, she was already engaged before marrying Feng Tiancheng.

The other party's name was Yun Hongzhi, who lived in a neighboring town. Although his family background was not as good as that of the Pan family, it was not bad.

The point is, the two are destined.

Once, Pan Ruoyu and her maid went for an outing near the town, but they met a drunk man who wanted to drink something

At a critical moment, Yun Hongzhi happened to pass by this time. When he saw someone bullying a woman from a good family in broad daylight, without saying a word, he stepped forward and knocked the drunk man to the ground with three punches and two feet.

Yun Hongzhi had practiced martial arts, and he was considered a good-looking person. In addition, he was grateful, and Pan Ruoyu was moved by him.

Afterwards, the two communicated secretly for a period of time, and after some discussions, Yun Hongzhi asked someone to come to his door to propose marriage.

At first, the Pan family disagreed, because after inquiring, they found that Yun Hongzhi liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he didn't read much, so it would be difficult for him to have a future.

But Pan Ruoyu insisted on marrying Yun Hongzhi, saying that if her family disagreed, she would never marry.

In desperation, the Pan family agreed to the marriage.

It's a pity that good luck tricks people.

One day, Feng Tiancheng came to Wuqiao Town to visit an old subordinate.

This old subordinate once saved his life, but he was seriously injured and had to return home due to illness.

Feng Tiancheng thought of this life-saving grace, so after returning to Beijing, he specially prepared gifts and came to visit.

After that, he drank a lot of wine and wandered the streets with his entourage on a whim.

Coincidentally, when passing by a rouge shop, Pan Ruoyu happened to come out of it, and accidentally bumped into Feng Tiancheng.

Seeing that the beauty was about to fall, Feng Tiancheng reached out to hold her in time

If he didn't drink that day, maybe there would be nothing after that.

However, he drank a lot of wine that day, and seeing Pan Ruoyu's beauty, his heart fluttered for a while, and he hugged Pan Ruoyun with the strength of alcohol and refused to let go.

Pan Ruoyu was ashamed and anxious, subconsciously raised her hand and slapped Feng Tiancheng across the face

When the two followers saw that the general was slapped by a woman, they shouted angrily and stepped forward to clean up Pan Ruoyu.

In the end, Feng Tiancheng said cheerfully: "This is the first time I've met a woman who dared to beat this general, so it's interesting."

Then, let go of Pan Ruoyu.

Pan Ruoyun thought she had escaped a catastrophe, but she didn't expect that soon after returning home, Feng Tiancheng came to her again and said he wanted to marry her.

When the Pan family heard that Feng Tiancheng had reported his family name, they were shocked, scared, happy, and worried.

It is natural to be frightened, after all Feng Tiancheng is a famous general who can wipe out the Pan family with a flick of his finger.

Fortunately, Feng Tiancheng actually came to propose marriage on his own initiative.

The worry is, Pan Ruoyu is already engaged, will General Feng feel disgusted?

They didn't dare to hide this matter, so they bravely stepped forward and told about Pan Ruoyu's engagement.

In the end, Feng Tiancheng didn't take it seriously, and said that as long as he didn't pass the door, he would resign the other party's kiss.

At that time, Pan Ruoyu was completely dumbfounded.

She is naturally unwilling to marry Feng Tiancheng, and she is still a concubine.

However, she didn't dare to object to offending a great general, let alone her, the whole family might not have any good fruit to eat.

Blame only blame, own life!

Just like that, the Pan family withdrew from the Yun family's marriage.

Not long after, Pan Ruoyu married into General Feng's mansion.

Regarding this marriage, although many people in the town gossip, most of them are out of jealousy.

After all, after the Pan family got involved in this marriage, their status soared, and even the county magistrate took the initiative to come to curry favor from time to time.

After knowing the situation, Gu Ming immediately rushed to the neighboring town to inquire about Yun Hongzhi's situation.

It turned out that after Yun Hongzhi was dismissed by the Pan family, he went to the Pan family to make a big fuss, and even said that he would never let it go.

After that, he ran away from home.

It is said that he later became a disciple of the famous "Liu Knife School" in the south of the Yangtze River.

After returning to the capital, Gu Ming immediately went to the Shence Mansion and inquired about the situation of Liudaomen in detail.

After all, the existence of the Shence Mansion is mainly used to check and balance the forces in the Jianghu, and they know the situation of all schools and factions in the Jianghu best.

As soon as I inquired, I found out that this Liudaomen is not simple, and it is famous in the world for its sword skills.

The origin of Liudaomen is because the founder of the school was named Liu, and the knives used by disciples of Liudaomen are small and thin, which is what people in Jianghu call Lancets.

The Liudao's sword technique pays attention to the cooperation with the body technique, which is extraordinarily light and elegant.

The style is quite a bit back to basics, and there is no too cumbersome fancy style. The pursuit of one word: fast!

Most importantly, Shence House also revealed a secret about Liudaomen: the predecessor of Liudaomen was actually an assassin organization, and its founding father was a gold-medal assassin in the assassin organization.

I didn't know why I fell out with the organization, so I brought a group of people to set up my own door and set up Lancet Gate to fight against the organization.

In the end, the organization was disintegrated from the inside, and at the same time, many members of the organization were instigated to join the Liudaomen, successfully cleansed, and became a famous sect in the south of the Yangtze River

After learning the news, Gu Ming had even more reason to doubt Pan Ruoyu.

Therefore, he hurriedly returned to General Feng's mansion to find Di Renjie and Lu Shilang, and reported the news he had investigated one by one.

"Master Gu, in such a short time, you have obtained so much information?"

Lu Shilang looked in disbelief.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Lord Lu, don't forget that my lord can go to heaven and earth."

"Ah, yes, yes, Mr. Gu, if you say that, you doubt the third lady and that person surnamed Yun."

Speaking of this, Lu Shilang paused, with an expression that everyone understood.

Chapter 279 The clue is broken

"Master Lu, before the matter is clarified, some things should not be said indiscriminately."

Gu Ming quietly reminded him.

Although, he also has speculations in this regard, but they are only suspicions. If such words are accidentally spread, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, yes, what Master Gu said is true."

"Well, there must be conclusive evidence for this kind of thing, Mr. Di, what do you think?"

Gu Ming glanced at Di Renjie and asked.

"My lord, this subordinate is thinking about the Liudaomen that your lord just mentioned.

According to the previous observations of the subordinates, the fatal wound of the deceased was indeed a kind of frivolous knife.At that time, the subordinates didn't think too much about it. After all, the killer is unlikely to use a conventional knife, which is not conducive to hiding.

Saying it this way now is indeed like a lancet wound.

The important thing is that this subordinate also said before that the three killers have the same technique, and it is very likely that they are brothers from the same sect."

Hearing this analysis, Lu Shilang's face was startled: "So, it is very likely that Liudaomen did it?"

"Okay, it's too early to draw conclusions now." Gu Ming waved his hand: "Well, I will go meet Pan Ruoyu for a while and see what she has to say."

"But my lord, if it's not her, we might have trouble interrogating her like this."

Di Renjie said with a worried face.

"Who said that the officer is going to interrogate her? It's just a heart-to-heart talk and comfort her."

After speaking, Gu Ming got up and left.
