Reborn Lord
Chapter 42
When Lu Mo Ning walked out, he saw Chang Wenbai holding Chao Feiyi's arm. He was very angry, but he just suppressed his growl: "...Why? You clearly agreed before, did your mother force you? Did mother ask you to threaten me? What do you mean if you don’t take a concubine, you will be divorced? Chao Feiyi, is it four years, and it still can’t warm your heart? What do you think?”
Chao Feiyi lowered her eyes, even though the man above her head looked like a wild lion at the moment, she was still the same as before, with a pale and sickly face.
Hearing this, he just said indifferently: "If you don't want to divorce, I can also divorce you."
As soon as Chao Feiyi's words fell, the man who was still roaring suddenly froze, his voice and anger stopped abruptly, as if all his emotions had been pulled away, and he stared at her with scarlet eyes for a long time before he hoarse and murmured He muttered: "It's been so many years, sure enough...you still don't like it, right? That's fine, if you want a divorce letter, you can, and I'll write it to you right away!"
Probably out of anger, Chang Wenbai let go of her arm a little bit, gritted his teeth, and stepped back step by step.
The surrounding yamen servants wanted to step forward, but they didn't dare, probably because they were yelled at by Chang Wenbai once before.
"Boss, don't be arrogant..." the yamen servant whispered anxiously.
Chang Wenbai acted as if he hadn't heard, turned around and was about to take it seriously but wrote a letter of divorce.
At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from above the head: "Be careful!"
Lu Mo Ning raised his head reflexively, and found that the century-old towering tree had dropped a large clump of branches, and it was aimed straight at Chao Feiyi.
Before the maid not far away could move, Chang Wenbai turned around reflexively, pulled Chao Feiyi's arm, and directly protected him under him, with his back facing up.
But the big clump of branches didn't hit Chang Wenbai, and at the moment when it was about to hit his back, Chao Feiyi's maid grabbed him with one hand.
Immediately, he slammed back suddenly, and he was thrown away several meters away, showing his amazing arm strength.
Lu Mo Ning paused for a while when he stepped forward to ask, and looked at the maid in surprise. Sang Pei was already astonishingly strong, but he didn't expect the maid's skill to be as good as that. It was two people tall, and weighed more than a hundred catties by visual estimation, but she could swing it away with one hand.
But at this moment, it was not the time to think about these things, everyone stepped forward and hurried to see Chang Wenbai and the other two.
Chang Wenbai let go of his hand with a pale face, the thin woman in his arms kept her eyes down, but for some reason, her body was trembling slightly, she twisted her handkerchief, and said nothing for a long time.
Chang Wenbai opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He let go of her, took a deep look, and walked away.
"Ma'am." The maid stepped forward and supported Chao Feiyi.
Chao Feiyi raised his eyes at this moment, and looked in Chang Wenbai's direction. After a long time, he silently blessed Lu Mo Ning, turned around, but left.
It wasn't until he returned to the morgue that Hong Guangping came back to his senses: "My good fellow, that maidservant looks so thin and weak, she has a lot of strength, and it's not a problem to lift a grown man. Where did this young lady come from?" Found it, it’s amazing.”
Lu Mo Ning frowned deeply, always feeling that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't think of it.
Lu Moning did not see Chang Wenbai again, but Chang Wenbai reflexively protected Chao Feiyi in that situation, and the reason why the other party left was probably because... the divorce letter was over.
But Lu Mo Ning still felt strange, always felt that Chao Feiyi's attitude was too strange.
If the other party had no intentions, she should have thought of this scene when Mrs. Chang suggested it two years ago. What's more, Dr. Jing beside her should have told her about her physical condition four years ago when the accident happened.But the other party is still married to Chang Wenbai, and now...but because of this, he said the words of reconciliation?
I'm afraid it's the first time the other party mentioned it, otherwise, a calm person like Chang Wenbai would never react so strongly.
Lu Mo Ning swept his gaze and landed on the seven wanted lists. Some of them had been dusty for a long time, and they were all dusty, dusty, yellow and old.
Suddenly, Lu Mo Ning's eyes sank and fell on those old wanted lists. He sat up suddenly, and he finally knew what was wrong.
Chang Wenbo found these wanted lists in the archives warehouse of the state government because he had submitted them earlier. Because these wanted lists were old cases more than ten years ago, they had long been dusted.
But why... the murderer would know these people?
Even the officials of the state government don't know that these people have committed crimes more than ten years ago, so how could the other party know?
Lu Mo Ning stood up: "Let's go to the warehouse where the files are kept in the state government."
Hong Guangping was surprised, but he knew that adults always had ideas, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he followed him.
The yamen servant searched around but couldn't find Chang Wenbai, but Lu Mo Ning was specially ordered by the magistrate, and they hurriedly took people to the warehouse where the files were stored.
The gatekeeper saw the token given by Chang Ronghuan on Lu Mo Ning, and quickly opened it.
"Lord Lu, I don't know what files you are looking for, tell your subordinates, and your subordinates will help you find them." The old yamen servant has probably been guarding these, hunched over and followed Lu Mo Ning, watching him walk through the rows of shelves, ask.
"A few days ago, the arrester Chang searched for several wanted lists. It was more than ten years ago, so you can take me there." Lu Moning said directly.
The old yamen servant probably didn't have a good memory, so after thinking about it carefully, he said slowly: "I just remembered, it's here...the files that haven't been cracked for more than ten years are all piled up here."
The old yamen servant led Lu Mo Ning to the opposite corner, and when he reached the last corner, he pointed to the dusty shelf, "My lord, it's all there."
After Lu Mo Ning told the old yamen servant to leave, he walked over.
His eyes looked over the row of shelves, and there were piles of dusty files, stacked on the shelves one after another.
He stepped up and walked over, following the marked year, after walking row by row, he finally landed on the disturbed pile, flipped through it casually, and it really was the files from more than ten years ago.
Chang Wenbai was probably upset when he was looking for it earlier, but Lu Moning didn't look at that stack, but looked at the other shelves.
Walking over one by one, sure enough, on each floor, there are many traces of being turned over on the dusty shelves. The other party probably wiped off his own handprints, but the top floor is It's clean, doesn't it look like a file that has been stored for a long time?
"My lord, what's the matter? But what did you see?" Hong Guangping didn't even look at the contents of the dossier. He just searched one by one, thinking that he didn't find the dossier he was looking for, and planned to help Lu Moning find it.
Lu Mo Ning shook his head: "Let's go, I already know."
Hong Guangping: "???" I already know, what does your lord know?
Lu Mo Ning walked to the door and saw the old yamen servant, who was already old, "Old man, how long have you been in the yamen?"
The old yamen servant is in good spirits, but his back is bent and his memory is not very good: "It's been more than 40 years, my lord, but what do you want to ask?"
Lu Mo Ning said: "Old man, are there many people in this warehouse on weekdays?"
The old yamen servant smiled and waved his hands: "Naturally, there are not many. Who would come to see this if they have nothing to do? Except for the chief arrester Chang, there are very few other yamen servants who come."
"Are you sure there is no one else?" Lu Mo Ning asked.
The old yamen servant shook his head: "Very few people come here...Changzhi Prefecture is afraid that these files will be lost, so usually they will let Chang arrest them quickly, or send them new ones."
Lu Mo Ning: "Then old man, think about it, what happened half a year ago?"
"What happened?" The old yamen servant froze for a moment, thought for a long time, then slowly shook his head, "It's nothing wrong."
"Then is there anyone other than Chang Butou who has been here?" Lu Mo Ning asked.
The old yamen servant: "...No, but," the old yamen servant seemed to have remembered something, "By the way, my lord said so, I remembered that I lost the key to the warehouse half a year ago, but later Chang The police quickly found it for his subordinates, is this... is it something that happened?"
The old yamen servant was a little uneasy, for fear of getting into trouble.
Lu Mo Ning's dark pupils flickered, and he smiled calmly: "It's okay, old man, don't worry, I'm just asking questions as a matter of routine."
Lu Mo Ning calmed down the old yamen servant, and then walked out of the warehouse, arrived at the morgue, and picked up a few wanted lists again, his eyes darkened.
Hong Guangping has been following behind, puzzled: "My lord, what's the matter?"
Lu Mo Ning looked at Sang Pei: "You said earlier that Mrs. Chang Shao's handmaid's martial arts skills are not low. If she subdues a grown man, would it be easy?"
Sang Pei said: "I wasn't sure before, but just now she showed her hands and saw that it is easy to subdue two or three."
Lu Moning: "How easy is it to carry a grown man back and forth between alleys?"
Sang Pei: "Easy."
Hong Guangping's eyes widened in disbelief, and he lowered his voice: "My lord, don't you suspect that maid?"
Lu Mo Ning didn't nod or shake his head, but looked at Hong Guangping: "Don't disturb anyone, go and find out the origin of that maidservant. If it's possible, even Mrs. Chang Shao will also look up."
Hong Guangping's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated: "My lord, these seven people deserve to die, if it's true... this can be regarded as doing justice to heaven, isn't it..."
Hong Guangping's words came to an abrupt end because of Lu Moning's gloomy glance. He coughed softly, and quickly raised his hand, "Alright, alright, my subordinates will go here and here."
Lu Moning waited for Hong Guangping to leave, then looked at Sang Pei: "You go and call Chief Chang to come and tell him that I have something to say to him."
Sang Pei responded and went out.
Diao Wuzuo didn't know where to go. At this moment, Lu Mo Ning was alone in the entire morgue. The black snake changed back at some point and hung on his shoulder, puzzled: How did you know that the maid was suspicious?
Lu Mo Ning has long been used to the black snake's elusive appearance: "It's not that the maid is suspicious, but she is the most likely."
The black snake swayed: How should I say it?
Lu Moning said: "These seven wanted criminals have been on the run for more than ten years, and they have long been unsolved cases in the state government, and these wanted lists have also been stored in the warehouse for more than ten years.
But in the past six months, these people have been turned into murderers again, but they still look like this, they are all criminals wanted by the state government, unless...
Someone went to the warehouse to find the wanted criminals first, find them one by one, and then get rid of them one by one.
And those who can get these wanted lists, who know so much about the state government, are likely to be people from the state government. "
Black Snake: But why do you doubt the maid?Instead of other yamen servants?
Lu Moning: "I've seen it in the past few days. Although these yamen servants have good hands and feet, they are not enough to calmly subdue those vicious thieves. They have seen blood on their hands. Take the fake king Qing, he can lift a pig weighing hundreds of catties with his bare hands, such a person cannot be subdued by these yamen servants alone."
The black snake understood: So this maidservant is the most suspicious, she can carry more than a hundred catties of branches with one hand, and her skills are not bad, she is also the maidservant of Mrs. Changshao, who is the wife of Chang Wenbai, look From the appearance of the yamen servant who came here earlier, it seems that this is definitely not the first time Mrs. Changshao came to the state yamen to see Chang Wenbo, and she also has the best chance, am I right?
Lu Mo Ning raised his eyebrows, his beautiful appearance was glowing with the light from the window, which made the tail of the black snake a little itchy. He wanted to touch the light dancing on his face, but he didn't dare.
The black snake flicked its tail, shaking off the numb feeling in his heart: But what's the reason?Why did Mrs. Chang Shao go out of her way to kill so many people?Isn't killing these people really doing justice to heaven?People from harm?
Lu Mo Ning shook his head: "We have to wait for Hong Guangping to find out the results."
It's just that Sang Pei failed to invite Chang Wenbai over, and when Lu Mo Ning was chatting leisurely with Black Snake, the state office became chaotic again.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, feeling that something had happened, he stepped up and opened the door, and saw the state government office in chaos, and Chang Wenbai staggered out.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, stepped forward and grabbed an anxious yamen servant: "What's going on? But what happened?"
The yamen servant was in a hurry: "Lord Lu, something happened! Something happened to Mrs. Sister-in-law!"
Chao Feiyi?
Lu Moning's pupils flashed: "What happened?"
The yamen servant said: "Didn't my sister-in-law and the boss quarrel earlier, and after going out, I went to the Qianfo Temple outside the city to offer incense, but the carriage was frightened on the way, I didn't expect... my sister-in-law's carriage rushed directly into the cliff Now, I'm afraid it's..."
The yamen servant didn't dare to continue talking.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, looked at Sang Pei who didn't know when to come back: "Go and see!"
When Lu Mo Ning and a group of yamen servants went to the cliff where the accident happened, they did not see Chang Wenbai. The yamen servant told Lu Mo Ning that apart from the carriage and the frightened horse, he did not see his wife and accompanying people under the cliff. The maidservant's life and death are uncertain, so Chang catches the head and goes looking for it.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, walked to the broken carriage, looked up at the edge of the cliff, the cliff was not low, the startled horse was directly thrown to death, he squatted down, and looked at the dead horse carefully.
Behind him was the only yamen servant who stayed behind to watch the scene with emotion: "It's too miserable...how can this kind of thing be excluded? The boss and his wife look at the appearance of a man and a woman, why... I don't know if he fell into the river not far away The place was washed away, the boss is so... If he finds the body of Mrs. Sister-in-law, what should I do..."
Listening to the chattering voice of the yamen servant, Lu Mo Ning ran his fingers down the fur of the dead horse. When he touched a spot, he found a bump on it. He calmly pushed it away with his fingers. It was found that the dead horse's buttocks were bloody stained with sharp things. It seemed that it was not really startling the horse, but man-made.
In order to be sure, he went to the top of the cliff again, and he saw the place where the horse started to startle.
There was still some distance from the cliff, and Chao Feiyi was also accompanied by the maid. With the maid behind him, it would be a breeze to get Chao Feiyi out of the carriage before falling off the horse.
Lu Mo Ning lowered his eyes: Could it be...Chao Feiyi knew that he might be exposed, this time deliberately designed all this, and wanted to abscond?
When Lu Mo Ning returned to the state government office, Chang Wenbai did not come back and did not find the body. He and the government servants were still searching under the cliff.
Sitting in the morgue, Lu Mo Ning looked at the seven wanted lists on the table. He is almost [-]% sure that this matter has something to do with Chao Feiyi.
But...the reason?
What was the reason why Chao Feiyi killed the seven wanted criminals?
He went to look at the files stored earlier. Besides these people, there were many wanted murderers there, but why didn't they be selected, but these seven people were selected?
Lu Mo Ning didn't understand, so he went to the icehouse to look at the seven corpses. The seven corpses were severely damaged, as if there was a deep hatred, and the other party was probably prepared, so no information was left behind.
Lu Mo Ning rubbed the center of his brows, and returned to the morgue again, the surroundings were empty, Hong Guangping went to check on the maid, and Sang Pei stayed under the cliff to help according to his instructions.
At this moment, the entire prefectural government office was empty, Lu Mo Ning lowered his head, looked at the seven autopsy sheets, and read them word by word, trying to find out what was so special about these seven people that Chao Feiyi would not hesitate to kill them. These seven people.
The reason?
Lu Mo Ning didn't know when he picked up the pen and wrote down the possible reasons on another rice paper. At some point, he frowned, looked back, and found that he had written Chao Feiyi's name. The whole rice paper is full.
He couldn't help laughing at himself, he must be stupid, why write someone's name?
Being seen by Chang Wenbai, he was afraid of misunderstanding something.
But before Lu Mo Ning rubbed the rice paper away, suddenly, a black snake swam up to the rice paper at some point, hooked the Langhao pen in his hand with its tail in dissatisfaction, and tilted its pointed head.
The man's low voice said displeasedly: Chao Pei, which man's name is this?What are you doing writing so many of his names?it won't be your...
Lu Moning tore off the tightly wrapped Langhao pen: "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of man, the name is...wait a minute," Lu Moning suddenly came back to his senses, he paused, unbelievable Lowering his head, Mou Ren stared at Hei Snake: "What did you just... say?"
Black Snake thought that Lu Mo Ning's words were unreasonable, and he was very unhappy. What, you still deny it. If you weren't thinking about this wild man, how could you write so many names?Chao Pei, hmph, at first glance, he is a rough man who is not gentle, with your small stature...
In the next moment, Black Snake saw Lu Mo Ning's eyes suddenly brighten up.
He lowered his head and stared at the black snake, so excited that the sound of the black snake stopped abruptly, the snake's tail froze, his whole body was numb from his staring, what was he staring at him all of a sudden?
It was rare for Lu Mo Ning to lose his usual composure, he held up the black snake, and pressed his forehead heavily against his: "You are too powerful!"
After all, before the dizzy black snake came back to his senses, he was directly thrown aside by Lu Moning.
Hei Snake came back to his senses, and saw that Lu Mo Ning quickly arranged all the seven wanted lists one by one, and wrote down all the killing times of the wanted criminals on these wanted lists with a Langhao pen.
Then, he arranged them one by one according to an absolutely impossible time in his mind, and when the arrangement was finally done, Lu Mo Ning circled all those time points, and it was really accurate.
His eyes turned quickly, and he murmured: "No... No... The age is not right, and Chao Feiyi is clearly in his twenties. If she is really Pei's daughter, I'm afraid it's already... No, no... ...Chao Pei, Pei Chao, Chao Pei...Pei Chao...a man's name...not like a woman's..."
I don't know what came to mind, Lu Mo Ning seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock all over his body, and sat there slumped, but suddenly propped his forehead, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Black Snake didn't know the name of Chang Wenbai's wife, he always wrote it vertically, so he misread Chao Feiyi, and connected the last two characters in a string, thinking it was Chao Pei .
If Chao Feiyi wasn't Pei's daughter, she couldn't be, and the other party committed suicide in prison, so it is impossible for her to be alive, so judging from her age, there is only... only...
Lu Mo Ning suddenly hoarse, propped his forehead, the black snake climbed onto his shoulder, hooked his wrist with its tail: what's wrong with you?But what did I say wrong?
Lu Mo Ning shook his head, straightened up, and let out a long sigh. Just then, Hong Guangping knocked on the door and came back.
He turned around after getting Lu Mo Ning's answer, and pushed open the door. Just as he was about to say something, when he raised his eyes, he met Lu Mo Ning's straight eyes. Under the candlelight, the other party's beautiful appearance was extremely compelling. Especially staring at people like this made Hong Guangping's body tremble: "Sir, my lord...why are you staring at your subordinates like this all of a sudden?"
It's very scary at night, like a seductive spirit.
Lu Mo Ning opened his mouth, only to realize that his voice was very hoarse: "Hong Yatou, let me ask you, do you still remember... in the case of Pei's daughter, what was the name of the boy from the Pei family 15 years ago? "
Chao Feiyi lowered her eyes, even though the man above her head looked like a wild lion at the moment, she was still the same as before, with a pale and sickly face.
Hearing this, he just said indifferently: "If you don't want to divorce, I can also divorce you."
As soon as Chao Feiyi's words fell, the man who was still roaring suddenly froze, his voice and anger stopped abruptly, as if all his emotions had been pulled away, and he stared at her with scarlet eyes for a long time before he hoarse and murmured He muttered: "It's been so many years, sure enough...you still don't like it, right? That's fine, if you want a divorce letter, you can, and I'll write it to you right away!"
Probably out of anger, Chang Wenbai let go of her arm a little bit, gritted his teeth, and stepped back step by step.
The surrounding yamen servants wanted to step forward, but they didn't dare, probably because they were yelled at by Chang Wenbai once before.
"Boss, don't be arrogant..." the yamen servant whispered anxiously.
Chang Wenbai acted as if he hadn't heard, turned around and was about to take it seriously but wrote a letter of divorce.
At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from above the head: "Be careful!"
Lu Mo Ning raised his head reflexively, and found that the century-old towering tree had dropped a large clump of branches, and it was aimed straight at Chao Feiyi.

Someone went to the warehouse to find the wanted criminals first, find them one by one, and then get rid of them one by one.
And those who can get these wanted lists, who know so much about the state government, are likely to be people from the state government. "
Black Snake: But why do you doubt the maid?Instead of other yamen servants?
Lu Moning: "I've seen it in the past few days. Although these yamen servants have good hands and feet, they are not enough to calmly subdue those vicious thieves. They have seen blood on their hands. Take the fake king Qing, he can lift a pig weighing hundreds of catties with his bare hands, such a person cannot be subdued by these yamen servants alone."
The black snake understood: So this maidservant is the most suspicious, she can carry more than a hundred catties of branches with one hand, and her skills are not bad, she is also the maidservant of Mrs. Changshao, who is the wife of Chang Wenbai, look From the appearance of the yamen servant who came here earlier, it seems that this is definitely not the first time Mrs. Changshao came to the state yamen to see Chang Wenbo, and she also has the best chance, am I right?
Lu Mo Ning raised his eyebrows, his beautiful appearance was glowing with the light from the window, which made the tail of the black snake a little itchy. He wanted to touch the light dancing on his face, but he didn't dare.
The black snake flicked its tail, shaking off the numb feeling in his heart: But what's the reason?Why did Mrs. Chang Shao go out of her way to kill so many people?Isn't killing these people really doing justice to heaven?People from harm?
Lu Mo Ning shook his head: "We have to wait for Hong Guangping to find out the results."
It's just that Sang Pei failed to invite Chang Wenbai over, and when Lu Mo Ning was chatting leisurely with Black Snake, the state office became chaotic again.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, feeling that something had happened, he stepped up and opened the door, and saw the state government office in chaos, and Chang Wenbai staggered out.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, stepped forward and grabbed an anxious yamen servant: "What's going on? But what happened?"
The yamen servant was in a hurry: "Lord Lu, something happened! Something happened to Mrs. Sister-in-law!"
Chao Feiyi?
Lu Moning's pupils flashed: "What happened?"
The yamen servant said: "Didn't my sister-in-law and the boss quarrel earlier, and after going out, I went to the Qianfo Temple outside the city to offer incense, but the carriage was frightened on the way, I didn't expect... my sister-in-law's carriage rushed directly into the cliff Now, I'm afraid it's..."
The yamen servant didn't dare to continue talking.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, looked at Sang Pei who didn't know when to come back: "Go and see!"
When Lu Mo Ning and a group of yamen servants went to the cliff where the accident happened, they did not see Chang Wenbai. The yamen servant told Lu Mo Ning that apart from the carriage and the frightened horse, he did not see his wife and accompanying people under the cliff. The maidservant's life and death are uncertain, so Chang catches the head and goes looking for it.
Lu Mo Ning frowned, walked to the broken carriage, looked up at the edge of the cliff, the cliff was not low, the startled horse was directly thrown to death, he squatted down, and looked at the dead horse carefully.
Behind him was the only yamen servant who stayed behind to watch the scene with emotion: "It's too miserable...how can this kind of thing be excluded? The boss and his wife look at the appearance of a man and a woman, why... I don't know if he fell into the river not far away The place was washed away, the boss is so... If he finds the body of Mrs. Sister-in-law, what should I do..."
Listening to the chattering voice of the yamen servant, Lu Mo Ning ran his fingers down the fur of the dead horse. When he touched a spot, he found a bump on it. He calmly pushed it away with his fingers. It was found that the dead horse's buttocks were bloody stained with sharp things. It seemed that it was not really startling the horse, but man-made.
In order to be sure, he went to the top of the cliff again, and he saw the place where the horse started to startle.
There was still some distance from the cliff, and Chao Feiyi was also accompanied by the maid. With the maid behind him, it would be a breeze to get Chao Feiyi out of the carriage before falling off the horse.
Lu Mo Ning lowered his eyes: Could it be...Chao Feiyi knew that he might be exposed, this time deliberately designed all this, and wanted to abscond?
When Lu Mo Ning returned to the state government office, Chang Wenbai did not come back and did not find the body. He and the government servants were still searching under the cliff.
Sitting in the morgue, Lu Mo Ning looked at the seven wanted lists on the table. He is almost [-]% sure that this matter has something to do with Chao Feiyi.
But...the reason?
What was the reason why Chao Feiyi killed the seven wanted criminals?
He went to look at the files stored earlier. Besides these people, there were many wanted murderers there, but why didn't they be selected, but these seven people were selected?
Lu Mo Ning didn't understand, so he went to the icehouse to look at the seven corpses. The seven corpses were severely damaged, as if there was a deep hatred, and the other party was probably prepared, so no information was left behind.
Lu Mo Ning rubbed the center of his brows, and returned to the morgue again, the surroundings were empty, Hong Guangping went to check on the maid, and Sang Pei stayed under the cliff to help according to his instructions.
At this moment, the entire prefectural government office was empty, Lu Mo Ning lowered his head, looked at the seven autopsy sheets, and read them word by word, trying to find out what was so special about these seven people that Chao Feiyi would not hesitate to kill them. These seven people.
The reason?
Lu Mo Ning didn't know when he picked up the pen and wrote down the possible reasons on another rice paper. At some point, he frowned, looked back, and found that he had written Chao Feiyi's name. The whole rice paper is full.
He couldn't help laughing at himself, he must be stupid, why write someone's name?
Being seen by Chang Wenbai, he was afraid of misunderstanding something.
But before Lu Mo Ning rubbed the rice paper away, suddenly, a black snake swam up to the rice paper at some point, hooked the Langhao pen in his hand with its tail in dissatisfaction, and tilted its pointed head.
The man's low voice said displeasedly: Chao Pei, which man's name is this?What are you doing writing so many of his names?it won't be your...
Lu Moning tore off the tightly wrapped Langhao pen: "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of man, the name is...wait a minute," Lu Moning suddenly came back to his senses, he paused, unbelievable Lowering his head, Mou Ren stared at Hei Snake: "What did you just... say?"
Black Snake thought that Lu Mo Ning's words were unreasonable, and he was very unhappy. What, you still deny it. If you weren't thinking about this wild man, how could you write so many names?Chao Pei, hmph, at first glance, he is a rough man who is not gentle, with your small stature...
In the next moment, Black Snake saw Lu Mo Ning's eyes suddenly brighten up.
He lowered his head and stared at the black snake, so excited that the sound of the black snake stopped abruptly, the snake's tail froze, his whole body was numb from his staring, what was he staring at him all of a sudden?
It was rare for Lu Mo Ning to lose his usual composure, he held up the black snake, and pressed his forehead heavily against his: "You are too powerful!"
After all, before the dizzy black snake came back to his senses, he was directly thrown aside by Lu Moning.
Hei Snake came back to his senses, and saw that Lu Mo Ning quickly arranged all the seven wanted lists one by one, and wrote down all the killing times of the wanted criminals on these wanted lists with a Langhao pen.
Then, he arranged them one by one according to an absolutely impossible time in his mind, and when the arrangement was finally done, Lu Mo Ning circled all those time points, and it was really accurate.
His eyes turned quickly, and he murmured: "No... No... The age is not right, and Chao Feiyi is clearly in his twenties. If she is really Pei's daughter, I'm afraid it's already... No, no... ...Chao Pei, Pei Chao, Chao Pei...Pei Chao...a man's name...not like a woman's..."
I don't know what came to mind, Lu Mo Ning seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock all over his body, and sat there slumped, but suddenly propped his forehead, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Black Snake didn't know the name of Chang Wenbai's wife, he always wrote it vertically, so he misread Chao Feiyi, and connected the last two characters in a string, thinking it was Chao Pei .
If Chao Feiyi wasn't Pei's daughter, she couldn't be, and the other party committed suicide in prison, so it is impossible for her to be alive, so judging from her age, there is only... only...
Lu Mo Ning suddenly hoarse, propped his forehead, the black snake climbed onto his shoulder, hooked his wrist with its tail: what's wrong with you?But what did I say wrong?
Lu Mo Ning shook his head, straightened up, and let out a long sigh. Just then, Hong Guangping knocked on the door and came back.
He turned around after getting Lu Mo Ning's answer, and pushed open the door. Just as he was about to say something, when he raised his eyes, he met Lu Mo Ning's straight eyes. Under the candlelight, the other party's beautiful appearance was extremely compelling. Especially staring at people like this made Hong Guangping's body tremble: "Sir, my lord...why are you staring at your subordinates like this all of a sudden?"
It's very scary at night, like a seductive spirit.
Lu Mo Ning opened his mouth, only to realize that his voice was very hoarse: "Hong Yatou, let me ask you, do you still remember... in the case of Pei's daughter, what was the name of the boy from the Pei family 15 years ago? "
