Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 143 Murder and Silence
Mei Hanrui increased the dosage this time so much that Xu Xingyin felt a little dizzy and fell asleep as soon as he entered the sedan chair.
When he woke up again, he had been sent to the new house in Dong's mansion.
I opened my eyes dazedly, and saw a pot-bellied man in front of me, who had knocked over the drinks on the tray in surprise, with a red veil in his hand.
Oh, it’s Dong Hongbin, Xu Xingyin has met him.
Seeing Xu Xingyin, Dong Hongbin seemed very surprised. He threw the veil in his hand at the matchmaker and cursed angrily.
"Bastard thing!"
The servants were bewildered by the scolding, but they did not dare to disobey. Just as they were about to step forward to dissuade him, they were all dismissed by Dong Hongbin.
Looking at Xu Xingyin's face, Dong Hongbin walked around the room with his hands behind his back, seemingly unable to understand why the bride had been replaced by someone else.
It seemed that he couldn't think of a suitable solution for the moment. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and pinched Xu Xingyin's chin, wanting to see her more clearly.
This sight made my heart completely sank.
He let go of his hand as if it were a hot potato, and actually threw up his robe and ran out in a hurry.
Dong Hongbin left, and the servants didn't dare to come in without instructions. Xu Xingyin was the only one in the room. She slowly woke up. Dong Hongbin's reaction...
Something is not right.
It was obvious that Dong Hongbin had realized that she was not the real bride.
But according to his personality, he shouldn't be like this. Whether he is furious or angrily asking for responsibility, he shouldn't be like he just did.
Rather than anger, Dong Hongbin's face looked more like...
fear!
After thinking for a while, Xu Xingyin's heart suddenly tightened. Dong Hongbin might know her true identity!
Although, every time Dong Hongbin went to the General Zhennan's Mansion, the women in the mansion were separated by a screen, Xu Xingyin had always been a restless person, and he might be seen by others when he was attending a banquet outside.
If this is the case, Dong Hongbin's reaction is understandable.
The granddaughter of General Zhennan and the legitimate daughter of Duke Xu, was married to the Crown Prince by the Emperor.
The wedding was completed a month ago, and people from all over the country came to congratulate us, and the whole world celebrated.
Even children in the streets knew this, so Dong Hongbin, as an official appointed by the imperial court, naturally knew it better.
Kidnapping the Crown Princess and marrying her is disrespectful to the royal family, and even ten heads would not be enough for Dong Hongbin to bear.
After figuring this out, Xu Xingyin knew that all he could do was wait.
About an incense stick of time passed before Dong Hongbin entered the bridal chamber with an old man with a long beard. The old man seemed to be Dong Hongbin's master.
He leaned closer to Xu Xingyin and took another look before asking Dong Hongbin softly:
"You are perhaps certain, my Lord?"
"It's her!"
Dong Hongbin responded hurriedly, but at the end he seemed to think his voice was too loud, so he clenched his fist to lower the tone.
"It can't be wrong, it's her, what should I do?"
The master turned his head and looked at Xu Xingyin again, then reached out and lowered the curtain in the inner room, completely blocking Xu Xingyin's sight.
Then he whispered to Dong Hongbin: "Sir, if this matter were to become known, the crown prince would lose face, and the royal family would certainly not let it go. This is a capital crime! In my opinion, it would be better to..."
The conversation stopped here, and the lawyer made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Dong Hongbin.
"Murdering the royal family is also a serious crime!" Dong Hongbin was so scared that he almost cried out, "No, no!"
"Master, I am doing this for your own good! If this matter were known to others, the royal family would not let you go. Even if you can put all the blame on Master Liu, you won't be able to hide it from Madam. If Madam finds out that you have taken a concubine in your annex, Master Wen will not let you go either! Without Master Wen's support, you..."
Every word the lawyer said touched Dong Hongbin's heart.
Yes, as long as Xu Xingyin is still alive, no matter how perfect his excuse is, the fact is that the Crown Princess was humiliated.
The wrath of the royal family and the difficulties faced by the Wen family are both troubles that are bound to arise in front of him.
It's better to do it once and for all...
Only the dead can keep secrets!
Besides, the Crown Princess died alone in the wilderness with her clothes in disarray. The royal family would keep the matter under wraps and not conduct a large-scale investigation just for the sake of their own face.
As for the murderer, as long as he did it cleanly enough, he could just push a scapegoat out and who would know what happened next?
The more Dong Hongbin thought about it, the more he believed this to be true. However, he had the desire but not the courage to do it, so he could only give orders to his lawyer.
"The situation outside is complicated. I still need to go and deal with it. I'll leave this woman to you! Be careful and don't give people a chance to talk about you!"
After saying this, Dong Hongbin picked up the dagger on the table and stuffed it into the hand of the lawyer, then fled from the bridal chamber.
The legal advisor is usually just an adviser and a writer. Even if he is dealing with someone, he only says a few provocative words. How can he have ever held a knife seriously?
At this moment, he was holding a cold dagger in his hand, his whole body was shaking, he tremblingly lifted a corner of the curtain, and when he saw the face of the woman in the room, he fled in panic.
"The woman inside has displeased the master, and the master has ordered that we don't need to keep her. You should deal with her quickly. Just find a forest where the body is not noticeable and throw it away."
The master walked out the door and grabbed the two guards at the door without hesitation. At the end, he did not forget to add: "Remember, a quick battle and a quick decision!"
The guard at the door was a skilled swordsman for Dong Hongbin. Without any doubt, he drew his sword and went straight in.
What Xu Xingyin had never expected was that Dong Hongbin would be so bold as to kill her to silence her after knowing her identity!
A tall man rushed in with a knife, and the sharp blade cut the bead curtain in mid-air. The crystal clear beads fell to the ground one after another, forming a crisp rhythm.
However, Xu Xingyin had no time to appreciate the tune at the moment. The sharp blade was coming straight at his face. His usually alert brain stopped for a moment. The shiny blade reflected Xu Xingyin's pale and desperate look.
The moment he faced death, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but close his eyes.
Surprisingly, she didn't feel scared, but inexplicably remembered the money she still owed Jing Zhichen.
She had never owed anyone anything in her life, but unexpectedly she owed Jing Zhichen so much money. She had planned to save up the money to pay him back, so that he would shut up and keep saying that it was useless to pay back debts.
Now that I am gone, it is really...
It’s a pity that I didn’t live to see the day when I could hold my head high.
"what!"
There was no pain as imagined. With a scream, Xu Xingyin fell into a warm embrace.
Xu Xingyin was so frightened that he opened his eyes quickly, only to see that the man who was holding the long sword just now had been forced to retreat step by step by two flying knives, and his palm was pierced by the sharp blade and was fixed directly on the pillar.
The long sword stopped in mid-air half an inch away from Xu Xingyin.
It was not the miraculous acrobatics seen on the street, but a bony hand grasping the tip of the knife...
