Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Liu Duankun said that three months ago he accidentally met an aide to a senior official, who called himself "Yuan Er".

After several interactions, it was discovered that Yuan Er was generous and talented, and the two gradually became good friends who could talk about anything.

Then, Yuan Er told Liu Duankun that his master was currently recruiting disciples and tried to entice him many times, which made Liu Duankun interested.

Liu Duankun was not successful in his official career. If he had the help of this powerful official in the court, his future would surely be smoother.

Even if it is of no help to his career, it would be good for him to get more money like Yuan Er.

In this way, at Liu Duankun's request, Yuan Er agreed to help him "matchmake".

With Yuan Er's help, this matter went very smoothly. Then Yuan Er found Liu Duankun and said that his master had given him a task.

If this matter can be done well, it will surely help him have a smooth career in the future.

The mission is to kill Tian Zitao.

As a scholar, Liu Duankun naturally disagreed with such a request.

Yuan Er did not force him, but said to him: "Those who want to accomplish great things must not be soft-hearted. The Lord made this request just to sharpen your mind. If you are not interested, then we can only say that we are not destined to be together."

To be honest, Liu Duankun was somewhat unwilling to see such a good opportunity slip away.

While he was struggling, he learned that Tian Zitao was going to marry Qionghua as his concubine.

There was no love between Qionghua and him.

But he knew that once Qionghua married Tian Zitao, she would no longer support him with real money, and Tian Zitao's move would undoubtedly cut off his source of income.

On impulse, Liu Duankun agreed to Yuan Er's request, and with Yuan Er's help, he practiced acupuncture for quite a while.

On the day Tian Zitao went to Yichunyuan, he disguised himself as a eunuch and entered the room to deliver food. He pierced Tian Zitao's Baiguan acupoint with a poisoned silver needle, killing him instantly.

In order to cover up for him, Qionghua never said a word, but took the blame for everything silently and framed the eldest princess.

Just when Liu Duankun thought everything was flawless, Qionghua changed her confession.

Liu Duankun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He immediately contacted Yuan Er and asked him if he could help him solve the problem.

Yuan Er readily agreed and told him to just rest assured, but he never expected...

This is how Yuan Er solved the matter.

After Qionghua's death, Yuan Er soon found Liu Duankun again.

He was asked to kill a few more people according to the "master's" orders, otherwise he would be made public as the murderer.

Liu Duankun was forced to agree, and before each action Yuan Er would give him a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills and a silver needle.

Yuan Er said that the drug was of the best quality and would have completely dissipated when the coroner performed the autopsy, leaving no evidence.

He would first use a handkerchief to knock the victim unconscious, and then kill him with a silver needle. Liu Duankun's crimes were successful several times.

Being able to kill people so secretly, the government would definitely check those who know medicine and martial arts first, and a weak scholar like him would be immediately excluded.

Ever since the news spread that the letter from "the Lord" fell into Fang Niang's hands, Liu Duankun was hunted down everywhere and nearly lost his life several times.

It was not until he was caught by government officials that he realized that he had been defeated by Qionghua.

"There is always a loophole in a hundred precautions." Liu Duankun said with emotion, "Qionghua really made me suffer."

"Liu Duankun! You are such a heartless and ungrateful man!"

Fang Niang, who was originally resting in the back hall, was so angry when she heard the process of her sister being brutally murdered that her eyes turned red. Now, hearing Liu Duankun's words, she didn't care about anything else and rushed into the hall and strangled Liu Duankun's neck.

"I want you to be buried with my sister."

Xu Xingyin, who was standing aside, hurried forward and grabbed Fang Niang's hand. Emperor Yan Ning had just promised to spare Liu Duankun's life. Her behavior was tantamount to disobeying the emperor's order!

Although Fang Niang is a girl, she grew up in a poor family. How could her strength be matched by a lady from a wealthy family like Xu Xingyin?

Fang Niang pushed, and Xu Xingyin was pushed down and hit the corner of the armchair. He groaned in pain and almost lost his balance.

Fortunately, Lu Xu arrived in time and helped her.

"I'm fine." Xu Xingyin shook his head, "Hurry up and pull Fang Niang away."

Lu Xu responded and quickly asked several yamen runners to pull away Fang Niang, who was out of control.

Liu Duankun covered his throat and gasped. There was no joy of escaping the disaster on his face. He looked very embarrassed.

Jing Zhichen looked coldly at the chaotic main hall, his expression deep and profound, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"presumptuous!"

Emperor Yan Ning growled in obvious dissatisfaction and was about to give him a slight punishment or a severe warning, but Jing Zhichen at the side interrupted him.

"Being impolite in front of the emperor is a capital offense. Father will not bother with you because of your sister's loss. Why don't you take him away now!"

As soon as Jing Zhichen finished speaking, Lu Xu and others understood and quickly pulled Fang Niang out.

Emperor Yan Ning naturally knew Jing Zhichen's little thoughts, but he just let him go without refutation.

Seeing this, Song Tuiguan continued to ask Liu Duankun: "How much do you know about this 'master'?"

"I have never met him. I usually contact him through Yuan Er. One time, I secretly followed Yuan Er. Although I did not see the Lord, I heard Yuan Er say to others, 'The situation has been determined. The prince will definitely be in trouble this time. Now the Lord can rest assured.' I thought, maybe I can look for someone among those who have always been at odds with the Prince."

Liu Duankun's words were tantamount to proving Jing Zhichen's innocence.

She didn’t know if it was Xu Xingyin’s illusion, but at that moment she actually saw Emperor Yan Ning quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Song Tuiguan was not satisfied with Liu Duankun's answer and asked further.

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

"In order to save my life, I collected some of his letters. If we can compare the handwriting, we may be able to find the real culprit."

"Where is the letter?"

"exist……"

No sooner said than done, as Liu Duankun was speaking, he saw an arrow flying at him at lightning speed and went straight into Liu Duankun's head.

The man died in front of Xu Xingyin, five steps away.

The spurting blood splattered on her light-colored skirt. Liu Duankun fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. The bloody hole on his forehead was still oozing blood. The disgusting smell of blood instantly filled the entire room.

"Someone is coming! Escort!"

The panicked screams of officials could be heard all around, but Lu Xu and Cao Tianhe had already chased after them.

Xu Xingyin stood there, his mouth open but no sound came out as if he had lost his voice.

The next moment, a dark figure appeared in front of her, shielding her from the bloody scene.

"Turn around and don't look."

It was Jing Zhichen's voice. There was a faint scent of sandalwood on his body, which filled my nose and alleviated the discomfort brought by the slight smell of blood.

Jing Zhichen's figure is very tall, which makes people feel an inexplicable sense of security, as if as long as he is there, there is nothing to be afraid of.
