The villain is being forced to whitewash again

Walking on the path of Shaolin Temple, Zhao Yuan was soaked in gloom all over his body, his footsteps were heavy and slow, and the monks who passed by would back away in fright as soon as they raised their eyes and saw him. His posture was like a scene of a brutal murder. The evil spirit crawling back was filled with a terrifying evil spirit that even the flood could not subdue. No one dared to go up and say a word to him, not even a single word.

As soon as he entered the room, he would pull out the wooden hairpin from his hair and throw it anywhere without glancing at it. He turned his foot over the leg of a chair, and the wood hit the table with a slap. There was a bang and bang, as if playing a movement of thunder and lightning and a tsunami.

There is a scent of sandalwood in the air, the smell is strong, and there is a little bit of sweetness in it. It should be a high-end product at a price that ordinary people can’t afford. It is very expensive but not popular. It is a hot noon and a cool morning. It's already passed, and the reason why I can smell it here is probably that the busiest time for pilgrims from Shaolin Temple to offer incense has just passed, and the sandalwood fragrance floats into the narrow room from the window with the wind.

In the past, he would happily enjoy this good sensory experience. After all, this kind of fragrance is rare and good for the body, but now he just wants to hit the wall at the head of the bed with his fist. He is so angry that his hand hurts. Also die.

"Yueqiong is actually pregnant with the flesh and blood of the prince, why did she announce it at such a critical moment? In the end, we still fell short!"

Qin Shi stepped over the threshold, closed the open wooden door behind him, turned around and walked to the wrongly placed desk, took the crooked chair, straightened it up simply, and sat down. A fresh fruit plate mixed with oranges, apples, and peaches, with a lot of fried watermelon seeds on the bottom.

"Why... how could such a thing happen suddenly? I don't understand it at all." Zhao Yuan just wanted to scratch his head irritably.

Qin Shi had already taken an orange-red tangerine from the fruit plate. The tangerine was not big, flat and round, and the peel was very thin. A half-moon-shaped gap could be peeled off just by gently pressing it in and tearing it out. Eat it, but distinguish the orange peel from the pulp, and put it on the table as if a flower has grown.

"Are you sure Yueqiong is really pregnant with a child?"

Zhao Yuan sat on the bed, with five fingers interlaced with the other five fingers, his elbows resting on his legs, his forehead resting on the overlapping hands, as if his neck could not support him, and he looked very frustrated.

"...Although I really, really don't want to admit it, she really didn't lie. The child lived in her womb and had existed for almost three months."

He pinched a white orange string climbing on the skin of the pulp, and gently pulled it down, one after another, and Qin Shi placed it on the table in the same way, right next to the blossoming orange peel, with only The fruit pulp is as sweet as sugar.

"Then that means, she was pregnant before the prince was killed."

"I really don't understand, but... alas." His expression was bitter and bitter, and he couldn't even make a superficial effort that looked relaxed, even though it was easy for him, "That's right. .”

"Does Bei Gongchen know about this?" Qin Shi was slowly separating the flesh in his hand, one petal after another, they were so tender that they would ooze out from the gauze-thin film when squeezed lightly Orange watery juice comes.

He said depressedly: "She doesn't know. In fact, everyone in the Beigong palace doesn't know. If I had known a long time ago, I wouldn't have been so shocked when I suddenly found out that men can get pregnant."

"Perhaps your diagnosis was wrong. Yueqiong just used a drug to fake the illusion that she was happy." Qin Shi said.

He said: "If she really wants to fake that she is pregnant, she shouldn't be so stupid as to play tricks in front of me, a well-known jade-faced holy doctor in the world, hoping to hide it from me by relying on small tricks. This kind of behavior is only for fools." would want to try it.”

Qin Shi finally stopped carelessly peeling the oranges. He neither put them in his mouth to eat nor handed them to Zhao Yuan. Instead, he raised his hand and put them on the table, with a few petals scattered beside the unseparated pulp, neatly placed on the side The orange peel and tangerine veins create a sharp contrast.

He looked at Zhao Yuan, and the eyes of the two people focused on each other, and the ups and downs in the thick sandalwood were extremely unreal, "So, this is already an unequivocal fact?"

Zhao Yuan really wanted to deny it, but after choking for a while, he said dejectedly: "...Now it seems that it is indeed true."

Qin Shi got up from his chair, and there were a few brown female sparrows chirping outside the window. It was a monk passing by in the distance that caught their attention in the rest. Qin Shi closed the window that was originally open, and the surroundings instantly lost Brightness leaves darkness and ambiguity.

"Yueqiong has a child, which is equivalent to proving that she has no motive to kill the prince. We are at a disadvantage. Without physical evidence, there is even less personal evidence. Ling Qingshan's trump card is useless. This road is already gone. It doesn’t work, so...it’s going to be difficult..."

Zhao Yuan spread his hands, "Couldn't you think of another way to provoke Yueqiong?"

Qin Shi said: "Once bitten by a snake for ten years, you are afraid of well ropes. If it were you, would you still act rashly and take risks after suffering such a big loss that you almost killed yourself?"

"Yueqiong is not a fool. She was too underestimated and anxious before, so she fell into our aggressive method and showed her feet. Now she has learned how to behave well. It is impossible for her to fall into the same trap twice. Now she is the only one. The hunter who waited leisurely by the side of the trap, watched us struggling feebly on the brink of death."

Zhao Yuan punched the wall with his fist angrily, "But why should we watch her sit firmly as the winner? I never believe that she is innocent! Although the suspicion of the son-in-law and the princess seems to be the biggest now, but if I How can you believe that a murderer would be so stupid as not to secretly throw away the murder weapon, but to hide it under his bed waiting to be discovered?"

"Could it be possible for the prince to die in vain? This murder case not only cost two innocent lives, but also made the princess have to look at others with his stains on his back for the rest of his life. I can't bear this kind of thing to happen!"

"Calm down, Zhao Yuan." Qin Shi said, putting his hands on his shoulders, "Bei Gongchen can only rely on you alone, we will find a way, but not at this moment, because venting anger will not of any use."

"I know...but I..." Zhao Yuan repeated weakly, his voice seemed to be rolling in a frying pan, "but I just can't help it, in this desperate situation, I can't help but be angry. Knowing what else to do, I really hate why my medical skills can’t be more advanced. If you can check who took the murder weapon by scraping the dried sweat or the lines of your fingers, maybe there is no one in the world. There will be unjust cases like today!"

Qin Shi complained silently in his heart, if you really researched this kind of thing, it would not be a world of martial arts but a fantasy cultivating immortals. The current emperor would probably have to award you the Nobel Prize in Science.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The current situation is very difficult, but maybe you can find clues to fight back."

Zhao Yuan sighed, "I hope so... I hope we are not daydreaming..."

Qin Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, and said in a low voice, "By the way, can you lend me something?"

Zhao Yuan was puzzled, "Ah? What do you want to borrow?"

-

Not long after the trial ended, the courtyard, which was originally full of people, was empty. A dense sycamore tree was still swaying slightly in the breeze, and the walls formed a square circle, and no one disturbed it. In the silence, you can still hear the looming sound of chanting not far away and the faint fragrance of Zen.

A person sat leaning against the lush sycamore tree, eyes closed, head tilted slightly, a half-yellow leaf fluttered from the branch, and fell gently on his skirt, the whole person looked like It was as quiet as falling asleep, but suddenly, he said a word without even opening his eyes.

"Are you here to see my jokes?"

In a not-so-clear shadow, Qin Shi walked over slowly, "I didn't even leak a trace of breath, how did you know I was coming?"

Ling Qingshan opened his eyes, the emotion deep in his pupils was very calm, "Your smell."

Qin Shi asked doubtfully, "... the taste?"

Ling Qingshan said: "You have a faint herbal smell that is the same as Zhao Yuan's. It is difficult for ordinary people to get this bitter smell mixed with various herbs. If you don't stay with him for a long time I can't imagine who it would be if you were alone."

Qin Shi admired: "Your sense of smell is very keen, as is your ability to observe. Few people would notice such small things, because it's really not worth mentioning."

Ling Qingshan snorted and said: "If I can't even notice such a small thing, believe me, a person who often walks on the tip of a knife, will not be far from death soon."

Qin Shi said: "Perhaps you can consider applying for a job. It would be a pity if there is no outstanding person like you in this industry."

Ling Qingshan curled his lips and said, "Let's forget it."

Qin Shi tentatively asked: "Do you think that you will not be trusted by others because of your shady status in the past?"

Ling Qingshan said lazily: "That's not true, it's just that the wages for that job are too low."

Hearing this, Qin Shi couldn't help but twitch his mouth. As a killer, should he be so pragmatic? He's not as exaggerated as you when he loses money!

Ling Qingshan continued: "You didn't come here to give me a career recommendation, did you? Let me guess, have you finally decided to take revenge at this time? It's so rare, I thought I had left this matter behind I can only remember it when the sea changes, and now it seems that my memory is not too bad."

Qin Shi was speechless, "...It's the first time I've seen someone rushing to the meeting to rejoice that the enemy finally remembered the grievances and finally wanted to kill me."

Ling Qingshan waved his hand, "I don't like to owe favors to others, whether it's big or small, it's better to cut the knife quickly than to keep my head."

Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders, "Even if I want to disappoint you, I never carry a knife with me."

Ling Qingshan looked serious, "If you need it, in fact, I still have a few goods in stock here. They are of high quality and various in variety, including butterfly knives, lancet knives, fish head knives, and even kitchen knives. Five taels of silver, if it’s different now than in the past, let’s take it as a discount, and make a discount for two taels of silver, how many do you plan to buy? If you buy more than ten, you can pay the wholesale price.”

Hey, hey, you're asking people to fight and selling murder tools to your enemies, are you sure you're really okay? "I just want to explain one thing."

Ling Qingshan said: "If it is a bomb, let me refuse. I would rather leave a whole body than a bloody mess."

... No, do I look so cruel? Qin Shi said speechlessly: "Whoever makes friends with you, I believe it will be very tiring."

Ling Qingshan said without changing his face: "If you can accept the life principle of paying high interest if you borrow money from me, I can consider making friends, a social relationship that can't make ends meet."

Farewell, I'm afraid of you, let everyone live!It's better to give the things to Ling Qingshan quickly, Qin Shi was worried that if he was delayed for a few more minutes, he would be so aggrieved that he would vomit blood due to internal injuries.

Taking the thrown thing in his hand, Ling Qingshan raised his hand to look, and found that it was a white porcelain bottle. After shaking it gently, there was a subtle sound of pills colliding inside.

Qin Shi said: "The side effects of truth-telling medicine are very serious. It is difficult to recover in a short period of time by self-healing alone. After taking the pill in it, your spirit will feel much relieved."

Ling Qingshan was silent for a long time, and finally said: "...What do you mean?"

Qin Shi said, "Don't worry, it's not poison. If you still doubt it, I can take one and show you."

Ling Qingshan interrupted Qin Shi's words.

"That's not what I mean, I just want to ask why you gave me this? You should be very clear that I am no longer of any use to you, and there is no need to please me so much. What is your purpose?"

Qin Shi said: "There is no purpose, it's just a coincidence."

"Do you think I will believe it?" Ling Qingshan obviously did not believe it.

Qin Shi sighed helplessly, "Not everyone is very utilitarian. Many things in the world are sometimes very simple. Although you probably still don't believe it...the medicine will be given to you. As for whether to take it or not, it's your choice. It's your choice. It's early, if you continue to sit under the tree, you will catch cold, go back and rest as soon as possible."

After saying this, he turned around and left, only a few steps away, when suddenly there was a shout from behind.

"……and many more!"

Qin Shi turned around suspiciously, Ling Qingshan was standing under the tree with an indescribable expression on his face, as if he had finally made a decision, he walked under the tree and took out a letter from his arms and handed it in front of Qin Shi .

"This is your thing, take it."
