September is full of flowers

Seeing Zhu Lang's expression, Qing Ning felt that he was a bit pitiful, and comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much, the gate supervisor won't like the eldest prince..."

Zhu Lang regained his spirit immediately and asked, "Why?"

Qing Ning felt a slip of the tongue, covered her mouth and shook her head quickly.

Zhu Lang became clear, and said softly, "Could it be that there is already someone in the gatekeeper's heart..." After he finished muttering, his face seemed more depressed than before, and he couldn't help sighing softly, "It turns out that she already has someone in her heart..."

Qing Ning looked at his profile with wide eyes, and the eyeballs rolled rapidly.She had also seen the note that Zhu Lang sent back then, but the gate supervisor took it as a floating cloud and let it go.Because the prince and Taige cannot be involved.Otherwise, the emperor would become suspicious and bring bad luck to that prince and Taige.

Zhu Lang frowned, "Brother Dahuang seems to be arguing with the gate supervisor." He got up a little bit, intending to stop it, but Qing Ning didn't press it quickly, Qing Ning put his finger on his lips, "Shhh" With a sound, he said earnestly, "I am afraid that your elder brother failed to confess his confession and was rejected by the gate supervisor. He is unable to step down at the moment. If you go out, where will he put his face?"

Zhu Lang was right after thinking about it, "The supervisor of the Lime Gate—"

"what?"

"You have been by the gate supervisor's side all the time, you must know who the gate supervisor likes?" He suddenly asked seriously.

Qing Ning immediately covered her mouth again and shook her head more violently.

Zhu Lang continued, "I don't think you know. The gate supervisor may not be honest with you. Although you are her confidant, you may not really be trusted by her."

"I know!" Qing Ning was provoked and almost blurted out. When the name came to her throat, she suppressed it again, and then stared at Zhu Lang solemnly, "But you don't want to know it from me."

Zhu Lang was dejected, "Then there is nothing we can do." He looked up and saw that the two had left, so he got up and straightened his clothes.Seeing that Qing Ning was still squatting, she showed her gentlemanly demeanor and reached out to pull her up.Qing Ning said blankly, "Thank you." Then she was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Lang.

"and many more."

"What are you doing?" Lime looked back.

"The roast chicken in your hand, bring—" Zhu Lang stretched out his hand towards her, hooked it, and smiled gently.In fact, he didn't want to eat roast chicken, he just wanted to fight with Lime to make her angry.

Qing Ning hurriedly protected her, "No."

"Then I'll tell the supervisor about you and me today." Zhu Lang tugged on his collar, squinted his eyes and smiled, just like a fox.

"I misread you, I thought you were honest!" Qing Ning reluctantly threw the roast chicken out of her arms, "You are bullying the weak!"

Zhu Lang glanced up and down, "The gate supervisor won't believe that I will bully you."

"why?"

Zhu Lang smiled and said in his heart, because she knew my intentions, but she said, "Because I am honest and kind, and you are so cunning." He held up the roast chicken and shook it, "Thank you for your roast chicken."

Qing Ning left angrily, shaking her sleeves.

Zhu Lang unpacked the grilled chicken and went back contentedly. Passing by the place where the two were standing just now, Zhu Lang paused for a moment, and then continued walking leisurely, as if nothing happened before.

Before Shen Man returned to his residence, he heard people passing by noisily around him.She grabbed one person and asked, "What happened?"

The man was rushing forward, and said impatiently, "It is said that the abbot of Kongtong Temple is dead and skinned! Wu Niannian went to report the gate supervisor, saying that the gate supervisor covered up the Chenzhou tragedy and the real culprit Lian Yi! When the emperor heard about this, he planned to interrogate him overnight!"

Shen Man felt a "thump" in his heart, and secretly said, "Here we come!"

Zhong Fei just appeared, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and he said calmly, "Let's go together."

When Shen Man arrived at the scene, he realized that not only the emperor had arrived, but also the seriously ill Concubine Ning Gui.Gatekeeper Tang Jiuyue was already sitting on the chair to the left of the emperor, holding a jade in his hand, and was playing with it over and over again.

Princess Decheng came late, Shen Man found that at the same time as Princess Decheng appeared, Ning Tao, who had been missing before, also appeared in the crowd, but he was very low-key.

It was indeed Wu Niannian who came to expose this matter.She was kneeling in front of the emperor at this moment, with her head bowed.Looking at her back, Shen Man felt that Wu Niannian seemed to have calculated the previous encounter, going to the Kongtong Temple and participating in the fight at this moment.Wu Niannian is a member of the Five Elements Sect!She is kneeling here at this moment, claiming to expose the crimes of the gate supervisor to the emperor, but in fact she wants to become famous in one battle, wants Tang Jiuyue to be ruined, and wants the Taige to fall apart!

The emperor's deep voice came steadily from the top of his head, "You said that the presiding master of Kongtong Temple died and was skinned. The skinned person is not someone else, but the real murderer of the Chenzhou tragedy. according to?"

Wu Niannian gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

The emperor leaned forward slightly, and continued to ask, "You also said that Lian Yi was protected by the gate prisoner, and pretended that she was dead, but actually stayed by the gate prisoner's side?"

"Yes." Wu Niannian answered neatly.

The emperor glanced at Tang Jiuyue and asked calmly, "So, what evidence do you have?"

"Reporting to the emperor, one of the evidences is Master Jing Jing's body. His skin has been peeled off, and the rest of the body is bloody."

Some people in the crowd gasped, some felt cold all over, and just imagining that scene felt horrible.

"Get out of the way." The eldest prince Zhu Kui led someone to carry a bamboo bed over at the right time, and put it on the ground.Cover it with white silk and satin, needless to say, what he is carrying at this moment is Jing Jing's body.

"Father, my son found the corpse according to the location specified by the girl. The imperial doctor verified that this skinning technique is indeed familiar and he is an old hand."

The emperor frowned, "Who dares to be so cruel?!"

Princess Decheng said, "Father, I remember that the son of Ning Xiang's family, Ning Xu, seemed to have died at the hands of this skinner. I feel that the fact that Master Jing Jing was skinned may really be related to Chen at that time." It is related to the state tragedy. Coincidentally, Ning Tao is also here. He participated in everything back then, and he must be able to help us analyze one or two."

Qing Ning said, "My Majesty, there are similarities in things and similarities in people. Those who can peel are not necessarily people like Chen Zhou. Maybe it's just a butcher on the street. He can also peel skin skillfully."

But Decheng sneered, "Master Qing Ningmen's words are wrong. The butcher is good at skinning pigs, not human skin. If you forcefully skin people, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth?"

Qing Ning retorted, "Your Highness, Master Jing Jing's skin was only half peeled, isn't it because it was not smooth?"

Decheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing the stalemate here, Ning Tao took a step forward, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Caomin was also present for the matter of Chenzhou. Caomin felt that the female monster from Chenzhou had appeared again, maybe , She didn't die at all, but the gate supervisor made a misjudgment."

Tang Jiuyue swallowed a piece of orange, feeling sour, frowned and only wanted to change another one, and didn't even look at Ning Tao and the others.It seems that she is still as usual, and she does not intend to control the situation personally, nor does she want to argue in person.

Qing Ning was having a headache with the current situation, and was afraid that she would have to single out the leader to fight the Confucian scholars, but someone spoke for Tang Jiuyue first.

"How could the gate supervisor make a wrong judgment?" Zhu Lang strode out from the crowd, saluted the emperor, then stood up and said to the crowd, "Could anyone here question the gate supervisor's ability to judge life and death?"

No one dared to say anything.

Zhu Lang smiled, like the breeze and the moon, "Mr. Ning, this girl, if you spread rumors out of thin air that an important official of the court colluded with the Five Elements Gate, you will be imprisoned."

Ning Tao said, "I just think that although the demon girl in Chenzhou was buried alive, she didn't see the body, maybe she didn't really die. This is a reasonable guess. If there is any offense, please don't blame the gate supervisor and the seventh prince. .” He deliberately bit the titles of the two of them very hard, which made the eldest prince Zhu Kui who was standing beside him displeased.

Decheng was obviously very interested in this matter, so he asked Wu Niannian, "They all denied it. The skinning technique alone really doesn't explain anything. What evidence do you have?"

Wu Niannian raised her eyes and said calmly, "I still have a very important piece of evidence."

"Oh?"

Obviously everyone was curious about what she called the key evidence.

Wu Niannian's eyes were firm, and he said word by word, "Lian Yi, I have the real culprit of the skinning and murder case in Chenzhou, one—living, living, de, Lian, Yi."

Decheng was obviously taken aback for a moment, and smiled maliciously at Tang Jiuyue with the corners of his mouth raised, "Gate Superintendent, what will you do if she really finds the witch?"

Tang Jiuyue raised her head indifferently, and replied without a tone, "I don't care about anything else, what I care about is which side the princess will stand on?"

Decheng's eyes flickered, "I'm just a spectator."

"Is it?"

Wu Niannian's key evidence really surprised everyone.If Lian Yi is really still alive, if she really finds Lian Yi and proves that it was the gate supervisor who protected Lian Yi, then there is no doubt that the gate supervisor will be ruined.

Zhu Lang squeezed his fist, and asked Wu Niannian, "Where is Lian Yi, the witch you mentioned?"

Wu Niannian paused every word, "It just so happens that she is in my hands." She didn't care about all the surprises and shocks, she only cared about whether the prison guard at the gate was like ordinary people, and when the truth was exposed, he would kneel down in embarrassment and beg for mercy.

She didn't want to go against her, but after she had to do those things in the secret room, everything became out of hand, and she could only follow the planned route step by step under the arrangement of that person.As much risk as there is, it is possible to gain as much glory, and everything that is happening before me is moving in a direction that is beneficial to me.

Perhaps, this time it will be successful, and I will be able to feel proud!

With no way out, Wu Niannian waved her hand and said, "Bring her up!"

The crowd remained silent.

Wu Niannian was taken aback, looking in one direction for a long time.According to the plan, Lian Yi disguised as Yuan Yuan should appear at this moment, but why...

However, Yuan Yuan stumbled in with the wine jug at the right time, and said in a daze, "Who called me?" Then he fell to the ground with a plop.

Decheng was startled, and smiled, "This little novice is quite interesting, to be so drunk."

The emperor rubbed his brows and said, "Wash him up with water." He turned to Wu Niannian and asked, "Is he that Chen Zhou banshee?"

Wu Niannian hesitated a little, staring at Yuan Yuan lying unconscious on the ground and said, "Yes, she is."

Zhu Lang frowned, "The one lying on the ground is obviously a monk, how could it be the Chenzhou Banshee?"

"Lian Yi is the best at skinning people to pretend to be anyone. She is in the temple, and it is most convenient to pretend to be a monk." Wu Niannian said, "If you don't believe me, you can take off her face. She has hair, but monks don't have hair. .”

Shen Man stood among the crowd, his hands gradually clenched.

Wu Niannian...
