I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Su Yuwan looked at the boy in white in shock the moment she was hit by the knife. She opened her mouth, but before she could make any sound, the next moment the boy conveniently pulled out the knife.

If Mount Tai suddenly collapsed, Su Yuwan closed her eyes, and when the queen fell to the ground, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"mother--"

Cui Liu exclaimed tragically, the volume seemed to be piercing.

The smile on the corners of the white-clothed boy's mouth remained undiminished, and he dropped the knife casually.There was a little blood on his fingertips, which contrasted sharply with his white fingers.The entourage Zhaifeng respectfully presented a white brocade handkerchief with a very delicate lotus flower embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief.

The boy wiped off the blood from his fingertips, then threw away the veil.

The blood-stained lotus brocade handkerchief fell to the ground and was covered with dust, rolling towards the back of the road with the wind.

Cui Liu hugged Su Yuwan and wailed twice, her voice gradually subsided, because she felt a very cold gaze staring at her.

Cui Liu slowly looked up at the boy in white.

The boy's eyes didn't look so cold, he even smiled at her when he saw her eyes.But Cui Liu still felt that she was so scary, and couldn't help shivering all over.

Cui Liu turned her head to look at Hongyi, she had been kneeling obediently the whole time, with an extremely humble appearance.Even though her mother was killed by the boy in white just now, she didn't look up from the beginning to the end, let alone make a sound.

No matter how stupid Cui Liu was, she knew that her feelings were right. This white-clothed boy was terrifying.Such a powerful person as her mother was the master of the Dizang Pavilion, who controlled the life and death of such a person, but at that moment, she died like an ant in front of the young man in white.

Cui Liu stared blankly at Su Yuwan who was already dying, tears fell one after another.Why did things develop like this?She should have been the noble daughter of the Cui family in Boling, should have been pampered in a deep boudoir, and should have only played with female celebrities, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Turning around, she became an outlaw in the world, and the only mother she could rely on died just like that...

The more Cui Liu thought about it, the more wronged she became, and she couldn't help crying.She let go of Su Yuwan's hand, hurriedly climbed up to the white-clothed boy, kowtowed to him repeatedly, begging for mercy, expressing that she would like to be an ox or a horse, serve him as his maid, and do whatever she wanted, as long as she could spare her life .

"You can do anything?" The boy in white repeated one of the sentences.

"Yes, yes, anything is fine, I just ask the young master to give me a chance." Cui Liu cried and begged.

The white-clothed boy slightly bent his waist, and carefully looked at Cui Liu's face, his eyes flashed with brilliance, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Cui Liu lowered her eyes tremblingly, and swore respectfully: "I am willing to serve the young master well in the future!"

"Ugly and stupid, not even worthy of my dog."

"Since 'you can do anything', then go to hell."

The young man in white pulled out the jade fan pinned to his waist, and with a tall and straight figure, he flapped the fan gracefully, but he spoke vicious words that killed people.

Cui Liuruqing was hit by a thunderbolt, and hurriedly kowtowed: "No! Young master, I beg you, please don't kill me!"

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." The boy in white said with certainty.

When Cui Liu was about to breathe a sigh of relief——

"Even if my hands are stained with blood, they can only be stained with the blood of a beauty. You are not worthy."

He immediately rode on the jujube horse, he didn't even want to look at Cui Liu more.

There was a sound of horseshoes, and the boy in white had a handsome back, and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Cui Liu was already frightened to despair by the words left by the white-clothed boy before he left, trembling all over.She looked at Zhuifeng, who did not leave with the boy in white. This person had a fair and delicate appearance, and he looked very refined, but his eyes were terrifying.Cui Liu asked herself that she was not the kind of person with precise vision, but she could feel the bloodthirsty killing intent towards her in this person's eyes.

Cui Liu was so frightened that she kicked her legs back again and again, quickly got up and turned around and ran away.

Zhuifeng immediately strode forward and grabbed Cui Liu by the back collar.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I've been poisoned, I'm going to die soon, please let me work a little longer, and bury my mother first!" Cui Liu begged in a panic, she would rather be killed by these people It's better to ask Cui Tao to kill him.If she begs Cui Tao seriously, and she has a brother from the same mother who will intercede for her, maybe he will give her the antidote, as long as she can escape from this person.

Zhuifeng dragged Cui Liu back, then picked up the dagger that had just been thrown away on the ground, and forced Cui Liu to hold the dagger in his hand.

Cui Liu didn't understand what this meant, holding the dagger tremblingly, he looked at Zhuifeng in puzzlement.When Zhuifeng took her hand holding the knife and turned the knife around, aiming at himself, Cui Liufang realized what he meant.

Cui Liu shook her head in fright, crying and yelling no.She regrets so much, why did she admit her mother back then, why did she fall in love with Lu Erlang, why did she try to frame Cui Tao three years ago, why she insisted on killing Cui Tao three years later and exposing herself... so much Choice, even if she doesn't do any of them, she won't be where she is today.

She don't want to die!do not die!do not die!

Cui Liu cried and resisted with all her strength, trying to escape, but her wrist was tightly held by the other party. No matter how she resisted, it was useless, and the tip of the knife was still approaching her chest little by little.

"No! No! Ah-"

The severe pain spread in her chest, annihilating all the vitality in her body, and the light in her eyes gradually faded...

Cui Liu finally fell by Su Yuwan's side. At the last moment before she died, like Su Yuwan, she had tears streaming down her eyes. She opened her mouth unwillingly, wanting to ask why?Why do you have to kill her?Why should she die like this?Why did she end up like this...

Unwilling to die, there are many words left unfinished.

Zhuifeng snorted, then looked at Hongyi and the other two killers who were still kneeling.

"Let's all get up."

Only then did Hong Yi secretly heave a sigh of relief, and stood up with two followers.

"This time, you are meritorious in reporting the news in time, and the young master will reward you." Zhui Feng said.

Hong Yi hurriedly saluted and thanked her, then she took out two talisman papers from her sleeve, chanted a few spells, and patted the talisman papers on the foreheads of Cui Liu and Su Yuwan respectively.The two talisman papers burned quickly, turning into dust and being blown away by the wind.

……

After Cui Tao emerged from the tunnel, she took a look around the surrounding environment before crawling out, and then reached out to Han Qi who came out after him.

Han Qi looked at the hand in front of him, and raised his eyes to Cui Tao.

Actually he doesn't have to—

She still put her hand on it, and let Cui Tao pull him up.

Cui Tao hurriedly patted the dirt on Han Qi's clothes.

Li Yuan and Wang Zhao climbed out afterward, and Cui Tao stopped immediately before taking pictures of herself.

"Where is this place?" Li Yuan looked at the surrounding environment, as if it was already bright today, and his vision was very clear.

They should be at the foot of a mountain, and there are a lot of short trees and grass growing around the entrance of the cave. If you don't get close, you can't find that there is a cave here.

Li Cai also crawled out afterward. Hearing the sound of running water, he hurriedly followed the traces of trampled grass a few steps forward, and saw a stream ahead. Looking beyond the stream, there was a wide road.

"There is a mountain to the east of Qingfu Temple. Judging from the direction we walked through the cave just now, it is to the east, and we have passed through a long cave. This should be next to the official road east of Qingfu Temple. If you don't wear If it’s a cave, it’s seven or eight miles from the main entrance of Qingfu Temple to take the official road and detour here.” Wang Zhao pointed to the map.

Fortunately, when he left, Han Tuiguan asked him to bring the map. After all, they were not familiar with the boundaries of Shenzhou, and it was easy to do things with the map.Just like now, after looking at the map, it becomes clear.

Because the cave is connected to the cave, and the situation inside the cave is complicated, it took a lot of effort for everyone to find this place from the cave.

A long time has passed, and if Su Yuwan and the others wanted to escape, they probably would have disappeared long ago.

Everyone walked in no hurry, and crossed the river following the footprints.

Li Cai ran fast and rushed directly to the official road. After discovering the bodies of Su Yuwan's mother and daughter, he immediately called everyone to come quickly.

When Cui Tao, Han Qi and the others saw this scene, they couldn't help being a little surprised. This result surprised them.

The two people who thought they could escape smoothly now died here.Su Yuwan was stabbed in the abdomen. This knife was injured by Han Zong. The wound is actually not too deep. As long as it is treated in time, the problem will not be too big. The fatal wound is the knife on the left chest.Cui Liu was also stabbed in the left chest, and the dagger was still inserted into her chest.

Cui Tao recognized that dagger, it was the one that Han Zong stabbed Su Yuwan.

Cui Tao checked the condition of the wound on Su Yuwan's left chest and abdomen. The wounds were small and consistent in size, and they all matched the characteristics of Han Zong's dagger.

Wang Zhao saw that Cui Liu's right palm was stained with blood, and there was also blood on the handle of the dagger.

If the normal dagger is inserted into the chest, if it is not pulled out, there will be no blood spattering, so the blood on Cui Liu's hand should belong to Su Yuwan.

"Could it be that this was suicide after killing her mother? She thought she had been poisoned by some intractable poison. Su Yuwan didn't care about it before she was chilled, and she killed the killer in a fit of anger, but she regretted it after killing her, so she committed suicide?" Li Cai did it immediately. He made some deliberations, but after he finished speaking, he felt that it seemed awkward and a bit illogical.

"Obviously there is a chance to escape, there is no need for the two of you to fight halfway. As long as the person is not dead and the poison has not developed, there is a chance to detoxify. According to Su Yuwan's temperament, a few words should be able to appease Cui Liu. Besides, would Cui Liu have the temperament of killing someone first and then committing suicide? She is a noble girl after all, so it would be so easy for her to kill someone directly with a knife. Moreover, the two knives were precisely stabbed in the heart, and the technique was skillful. For Cui Liu, who killed someone for the first time, it was very difficult." Wang Zhao analyzed.

In fact, the big pill that Cui Liu ate was not poisonous at all, it was just that after taking it for a period of time, the body had abnormal pulse conditions, and some allergic reactions such as rashes.

Cui Tao agreed with Wang Zhao's deliberation, "According to Cui Liu's usual temperament, she would definitely not do anything to stab herself, unless she was stimulated by something and went crazy. Besides, there is a red man named Hongyi The woman in clothes and the two killers ran away with them, and now the mother and daughter are dead here, what about the three?"

Everyone looked around and looked at the horse manure and ruts left by the roadside.

Wang Zhao: "Maybe the three of them murdered their mother and daughter, but clumsily staged the scene of the daughter killing their mother, trying to confuse the government? Then they ran away in a carriage?"

Without proof, it's just speculation.

"Search nearby." Han Qi ordered.

The clues around the crime scene are also very important. Although it is located next to the official road and the surrounding environment is simple, the scene investigation should be cautious and meticulous, and the details cannot be ignored.Several people immediately took orders and scattered all directions to check around.

"After the dagger was thrown to the ground, it was picked up again and then inserted into Cui Liu's chest."

Cui Tao observed the sticky dust around Cui Liu's wound and on the dagger, and also found corresponding bloodstains on the ground.As for Su Yuwan's wound, there was nothing but blood, and the wound was clean.

Cui Tao found a little bit of ashes that seemed to be burnt paper at the position behind Cui Liu's neck.Then I went to observe Su Yuwan's condition, and found a little bit of similar ashes on her hair.Then carefully observe the positions of the foreheads of the two deceased. The skin seems to be a little burned, but it is not obvious at all if you don't pay special attention.

There were few ashes, and it was still on the forehead, so Cui Tao naturally thought of the talisman paper.Some Taoist priests are good at burning amulets when they practice.

After Cui Tao checked these, she leaned over to Han Qi, thinking that it was meaningless for him to be watching all the time, so she wanted to chat with him.

"There is a good horse." Han Qi said suddenly.

"A good horse?" Cui Tao didn't understand what Han Qi meant at first, but when she followed Han Qi's gaze to look at the horse dung, she understood what Han Qi meant.There are three piles of horse manure on the ground, and the color of one pile is indeed different.

"A good horse needs to be fed with millet. If it eats grass for a long time, its belly will sag and hurt its stomach. A good horse will also become a mediocre horse."

Han Qi told Cui Tao that the horses fed with millet were fat and strong, not only handsome in appearance, but also extremely powerful and fast when running, and had extraordinary endurance.To put it simply, even the most expensive among horses must be the same as the most expensive among people, and they must eat the best food.

"I understand, don't talk about horses, people are the same. With the same physical condition, those who eat bran and drink water are definitely not as strong as those who eat rice and meat."

Cui Tao sighed, feeling that not only people are divided into different classes, but also horses.

"That is to say, among the horses that stopped here just now, there is an excellent horse?"

"Ah."

"Good horses are hard to find. Every year, the good horses selected from the racecourse will be paid tribute to the imperial court, and it is rare to be left outside." Cui Tao sighed, "It seems that Di Zang Pavilion has something to do with officials and nobles, but Su Yuwan is a habitual offender. They all love to be associated with officials and nobles."

After Wang Zhao and Li Yuan searched around, they found nothing.At this time, Li Cai crawled out of the deep grass ditch on the far side of the road, and ran back panting with the handkerchief in his hand, expressing happily that he seemed to have found important evidence.

"It is indeed important evidence."

Without this bloody veil, it would be impossible to confirm whether this fine horse was Su Yuwan's own horse or someone else's horse with only horse dung.But with this veil, it can be proved to be someone else's horse with a high probability.

"It's not easy to get blood when inserting a knife, but it's easy to draw a knife. It must be that after Su Yuwan was stabbed by this dagger first, someone pulled out the dagger, threw it on the ground, and wiped the blood on her hands with a handkerchief. Picking it up, Cui Liu also took the bloody dagger, somehow, but in the end the dagger stuck in Cui Liu's chest."

There is also a very important point, the lotus flower is embroidered on one corner of this bloody handkerchief, which is exactly the same as the brocade handkerchief with oil stains that Cui Tao found from Yanzi, a woman in black clothes.

Because Cui Tao picked up Han Zong's handkerchief before. Although there is no embroidery, she still studied the two handkerchiefs carefully, so she was very impressed with the embroidery stitches of lotus, so that even the stitches of each lotus petal remember the size.

Cui Tao was sure that the lotus embroidery on this bloody brocade handkerchief was the same as the one on the woman in Xuanyi.The style and size of the lotus are basically the same, so the lotus embroidery should be done by the same person.

Cui Tao originally thought that the handkerchief she found on Yanzi belonged to the owner of the Dizang Pavilion, but now it seems that it is not.

There were no clues to continue the investigation at the scene, and the rest was for a second autopsy, which could only be carried out after the corpse was transported back to the Yamen with auxiliary tools.Li Yuan and the others were in charge of guarding the corpse, so they stayed where they were for the time being.

After Cui Tao washed her hands by the river, she followed Han Qi to dig into the hole again, returning to Qingfu Temple the same way.There's no way around it, this cave is relatively close, they don't have horses and carts, and it would take a long time to take the detour through the official road.

This time, only Cui Tao and Han Qi were walking in the cave. Cui Tao mentioned the lantern that had been left in the cave before, and while illuminating the road ahead, he started to analyze blindly with Han Qi.

"Do you think that Su Yuwan recently found another noble man who was fascinated by her, but she didn't expect this man to be cruel, and he was not attracted by her charm. He also found out that she had a son and a daughter. The Pavilion Master Zang and the court are the worst criminals, so he killed her in a fit of anger?"

"I can't rule out this possibility." Han Qi knew that Cui Tao's deliberation was very random, but the possibility cannot be ruled out.

"By the way, how did Liu Lang lead people to attack Qingfu Temple quietly without being discovered by those dormant killers in Dizang Pavilion? And where did you get those incenses that induce Gu?" The incident happened suddenly, and There are so many bad guys to fight and chase, Cui Tao didn't have time to ask before.

"There are a lot of talented people in Bianjing, and there are people who understand Gu poison. After you leave, I will ask someone to take Gu insects to investigate. There are people from Miaojiang who know this thing, and he will raise the Gu insects into two days. Adult insects, choose female insects to make Gu-inducing incense. When I came to find you, I brought these incenses by the way, just in case, but I came here immediately if I didn’t think about it.”

As for the siege of Qingfu Temple, it was even easier. Han Qi didn't use the people from Zhending Mansion.Since Su Yuwan threatened Cui Tao not to bring another person, it is very likely that people from Dizang Pavilion will ambush them on all the roads from Anping to Qingfu Temple.But the roads leading to Qingfu Temple in other places may not be covered in every detail. Even if they are taken into consideration, the manpower they send must not be many, and they are easy to avoid.

So Han Qi asked Li Yuan, Li Cai and others to pretend to be ordinary people and leave early. Instead of taking the road from Anping to Qingfu Temple, they bypassed Qingfu Temple and dispatched people from several county government offices in the south. Touch it.The mountains and plains are huge, and it is not difficult to hide in places that are not suitable for exposure.

As for Wang Zhao and Li Yuan, because of their better skills, they lurked closer to the Qingfu Temple to observe the situation. As long as they can confirm that the eight children are safe, they can immediately send out a signal to signal to the people who are on standby outside. Go and besiege Qingfu Temple.

"Liu Lang is wise, it's really amazing. But I don't know how Liu Lang's head grows, how smart he is, even I can't help being proud of him!" Cui Tao praised Han Qi without hesitation, men need encouragement And praiseworthy, smart men are no exception.

Han Qi stared at Cui Tao, telling her to talk properly.

"Why didn't you speak well? Is it a good thing to praise you? Why don't you appreciate it?" Cui Tao immediately gave him a small look full of complaints.

"Do you know who you just said like?"

"Who?"

"When I was young, my mother used to praise my homework like this." Han Qi pursed his lips.

Cui Tao chuckled, "That's even more of a problem. There is a saying that 'a daughter looks for a husband like a father, and a son looks for a wife like a mother'."

Han Qi stared at Cui Tao again, "So I look like your father?"

"It's not like, of course it's not. That's just a generalization of the general situation, but not all of them." Cui Tao hurriedly changed the subject and asked Han Qi, how could Han Zong turn back.

"After he safely sent the eight children down the mountain, he joined Wang Zhao and Li Yuan. Naturally, he was worried about your safety, so he turned back."

"He stabbed Su Yuwan for me. I think it irritated him a lot. Now that Su Yuwan and Cui Liu are both dead, it should take some time for him to recover."

Cui Tao sighed, and told Han Qi that she could handle it at the time, and she didn't need him to come back to help.

"He also cares about you, I understand him." Mentioning this, Han Qi also looked solemn, as if recalling how worried he was about Cui Tao's safety before.

Cui Tao immediately patted his waist, showing off his stiff lap.

"My 'Turning the River and Sea Needle' hasn't been shot yet, and it's all poisoned. I don't shoot it casually at unusual times, and it will kill a piece of it."

Han Qi smiled and agreed, he was naturally willing to trust Cui Tao's ability, "But in the future, don't take such risks."

Cui Tao was about to refute, but Han Qi said another sentence.

"for me."

"Then I have to think about it, if Liu Lang behaves well." Cui Tao said half-jokingly.

"How do you behave well?" Han Qi lowered his eyes and stared at Cui Tao.

"For example, now, look at how dark, empty, and scary this cave is..." Cui Tao said in a whisper, looking at her eyes with ghostly wit and wit, looking a little panicked at the moment The panic instantly set off a terrifying and tense atmosphere, and she eagerly looked at Han Qi, "I'm so scared!"

Han Qi couldn't help chuckling a few times, and immediately embraced Cui Tao in his arms.

Cui Tao happily leaned on Han Qi's chest, and hugged his waist to take advantage of him unscrupulously. She couldn't get enough of the smell of this man!

Seeing her like this, Han Qi couldn't help laughing again: "How come you sniff your nose like a rabbit."

"Don't mention the rabbit, I just want to eat it. This is really a case. I relax and I'm hungry." Cui Tao sighed.

Han Qi then took out a palm-sized paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to Cui Tao.

Cui Tao opened it and saw that it was beef jerky, she put it in her mouth and started to chew, "I said, why did I smell so good on Liu Lang today? So there is something delicious hidden, is there any more?"

Cui Tao was not greedy enough, she ate what was in her mouth and smelled what was in her arms.

Han Qi was so troubled that he pressed Cui Tao's head, not allowing Cui Tao to move around in his arms.

"It's just a little bit of a mess, and Liu Lang doesn't like me anymore?" Cui Tao asked innocently, as if she didn't understand anything.

Han Qi didn't say a word, grabbed Cui Tao's hand, and pulled her forward.

"Then I don't have jerky in hand, Liulang feed me." Cui Tao held up the paper bag containing beef jerky and brought it to Han Qi.

Han Qi took a piece of beef jerky and put it into Cui Tao's mouth. Cui Tao bit it fiercely, and then lightly bit Han Qi's finger.

Han Qi's whole body stiffened in an instant, Cui Tao felt Han Qi's shyness, and quickly let go, then bit off the beef jerky, then lowered his head and chewed lightly.

Han Qi took Cui Tao's hand and continued to walk forward. After a while, Cui Tao had chewed all the beef jerky in his mouth, but Han Qi's body was still a little stiff.When Cui Tao was wondering if he had gone too far, Han Qi took another piece of beef jerky and fed it to Cui Tao's mouth.

Cui Tao immediately laughed at Han Qi, and continued to eat while biting.

In the past, Han Qi felt a little strange, how could Cui Tao be so seductive, but now his confusion is cleared, Ruyi Garden is actually teaching women how to please men.She just lost her memory, and she couldn't lose what she had learned.

Such a noble daughter from a noble family, I don't know how much she has suffered...

Han Qi looked sideways, looking at Cui Tao who was now only eating beef jerky and smiling happily, and couldn't help but feel even more distressed.

"I will treat you better in the future," Han Qi said.

"Of course, if you're not nice to me, I won't look for you either." After Cui Tao casually agreed, she found that Han Qi was looking at her very seriously, and immediately added with a smile, "I'll be nice to Liu Lang, too."

"Yes." Han Qi slowly lowered his eyes and agreed in a low voice.

Cui Tao felt that he was shy again, so she tilted her head and rubbed against his chest.It's not good to be shy all the time, it's better to let him get used to it.

Han Qi's breathing became disordered, and his face felt a little hot.

Fortunately, this is in the cave, Cui Tao couldn't see his embarrassment.

……

After half a stick of incense, the two finally turned back to Qingfu Temple.

At this moment, Cui Lao is in charge of managing all the remaining matters here. The bodies of all the dead in Qingfu Temple have been cleaned up in one place.

Seeing that the two had returned, Cui Lao sent people to the official road to the east of Qingfu Temple to meet Li Yuan and others, and asked Han Qi how to deal with these corpses.

"There are too many people, it's troublesome to transport back, and the corpse room in the yamen is not enough to accommodate them. Besides, these corpses have Gu worms. When the corpses were moved just now, they were dragged away with ropes, and they didn't dare to touch them."

"Then burn it on the spot." Cui Tao suggested.

Han Qi agreed.

However, before burning, Cui Tao took people to investigate the condition of each corpse, and as expected, they did not find any special evidence.However, it was discovered that quite a few people had waist cards. The front of the waist cards had the patterns of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu four gods and beasts drawn respectively, and there was no word on the back.But on the old abbot of Qingfu Temple, he found a waist card with the images of these four gods and beasts at the same time.From this point of view, the old abbot should be a leader, a person who is in command and wears a waist card with the pattern of four beasts.

It's just that what this pattern implies, what position Qingfu Temple occupies in the Dizang Pavilion, and what role it plays are unknown.

"The abbot has a gray beard and is quite old. I heard that Qingfu Temple has been built for more than a hundred years. How can it be said that the old abbot has been a monk here for 40 to [-] years?" The Dizang Pavilion has only been established for a few years, and Cui Tao suspects that Su Yuwan is an envoy He used a dirty trick to force the abbot of Qingfu Temple to submit, and even poisoned him to control him.

The yamen servants searched and found that there was an evacuated warehouse in Qingfu Temple. According to the gray marks formed on the ground, many large boxes had been placed there, but now it is empty.There was a green leaf on the floor of the warehouse, which hadn't completely withered and turned yellow. It was obvious that someone had entered the warehouse in the past day or two before bringing this leaf in.

And Cui Tao saw two newly formed collision marks on the door frame of the warehouse.The door frame was painted with black paint, and the white wood was exposed in the part where the paint was knocked off, and the white wood with the old impact marks had turned yellow.

From this, it can be deduced that the things in this warehouse were probably only emptied in the last two days.

In fact, this point is easy to understand. After all, Su Yuwan wants to use Qingfu Temple as a trading place with Kaifeng Mansion, so the important things in Qingfu Temple should be dealt with in advance.

Yamen servants also found beef and mutton in the kitchen, as well as women's clothes and rouge powder in the rooms of several monks.

It can be seen that Qingfu Temple is not 'clear' enough now.

In an instant, the fire for burning the corpses was ignited, emitting a strong smell of burnt meat.

Everyone was planning to evacuate Qingfu Temple, but Cui Tao found that Han Zong was still sitting by the wall, motionless.

Cui Tao went to ask Han Zong to go with him.

Han Zong still stared blankly at the ground in front of him, without any response.

"You should have heard, right? Su Yuwan and Cui Liu are already dead, but we still don't know who killed them." Cui Tao explained.

Only then did Boss Han react, blinked his eyes, and then looked up at Cui Tao.

"Don't worry about me, it's up to you."

"That can't be done, you are now a suspect who colluded with the Dizang Pavilion, and you have to go back to Kaifeng Mansion with us for trial."

People do need time to calm down after being stimulated, but Han Zong has been sitting here for too long.Moreover, when it was known that Su Yuwan and Cui Tao were going to end, Han Zong's reaction was not violent, which was not a good sign.

Cui Tao saw that Han Zong was in a bad state, so instead of leaving him here alone and not knowing what foolish things he would do, it would be better to find an excuse to take him back.

"It's time to go." Han Qi came over and told Cui Tao, then glanced at Han Zong again.

Cui Tao nodded immediately and told him to come later, Han Qi didn't ask any more questions and turned around first.

Han Zong looked up at Han Qi's back, then at Cui Tao, and turned his gaze to the scar on his index finger.That was when he was young and foolish enough to get a tattoo himself in order to imitate Han Qi.

"When I was young, I admired his talent and always wanted to become a smart person like him. I thought that now that I'm grown up, I won't be as naive as I was when I was young." Han Zong laughed sadly at himself, "But today I You know, I still want to continue to envy him and want to become him."

When Cui Tao heard this, she already understood that Han Zong must have discovered the situation between her and Han Qi.

"People are like this. They don't see what they have, but envy what others have. I think I should have envied you in the past two years, and I envied your freedom." Cui Tao said.

Han Zong lowered his eyes, feeling even more guilty towards Cui Tao in his heart.He knew that he should no longer have extravagant hopes, he was too greedy, too selfish, he didn't deserve her, he didn't even deserve to live in this world, it was a bit redundant...

"You saved me and eight children, and you have paid off." Cui Tao saw that Han Zong seemed to be on the edge of a corner and wanted to die, but he pretended not to see it through, just like him. Chatting normally, "In my opinion, your mother should be the Wang family. You are what you are today, and you can't do without her tolerance and teaching. If she has a little selfishness and can't tolerate me like Su Yuwan's mother and daughter, you It won't be as decent as it is today."

If Su Yuwan hadn't happened, no one would have doubted Han Zong's identity as the legitimate son, not even himself.He spends extravagantly on food and clothing, and although his temperament is a bit playful, he can still pass the imperial examinations and high school without losing his talent.It can be seen that Wang's upbringing of Han Zong was done with care, but there was also a lot of love and pampering. It is definitely a kind of luck to meet such a aunt.

"Yes, my mother treats me very well."

"Then you can keep this matter from her and keep her from knowing. Just let her think that you have always recognized her as your biological mother, and honor her as you honor your biological mother. She will be pleased and happy."

The truth cannot be changed, the facts cannot be changed, and it is impossible to successfully comfort an emotionally hurt person with just a few words.He could only pull another person out to let Han Zong know that there is not only one kind of feeling in this world, but there are other warmth around him.

Han Zong nodded, then got up and followed Cui Tao.

After returning to Cui's house, Cui Tao put the bloody lotus handkerchief in front of Han Zong and asked him if he had seen it before.

"It seems that my family also has this material. It is a tribute from the emperor, but I have never seen this handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers." Han Zong said.

Cui Tao nodded, thanked Han Zong, and advised him to eat more sweets to make him happy, so she came to Han Qi.

"I have searched Ruyiyuan's sub-rudder in Anping, but I found a lot of women's things in that village, but there is no one there." Han Qi said to Cui Tao when she saw Cui Tao coming.

"The Ruyi Garden in Dengzhou will probably be the same result." Cui Tao asked Han Qi what he thought, "Is another nobleman involved in this matter? And the woman named Hongyi is not dead, Was she taken away? Or surrendered? Or was she originally with that nobleman?"

"Insufficient evidence." It's hard to judge Han Zong's implication.

Cui Tao then told Han Qi that the ashes she found at the scene of the crime were suspected to be burnt talisman papers.

"People who die unexpectedly are full of grievances, and they may turn into ghosts and come back to take revenge. This burning talisman paper should be to avoid this problem."

Cui Tao suddenly thought of a situation, why did she not have memories of her life like other ghosts after she became a ghost?Could it be related to the supernatural power of the talisman? She was forced to voluntarily seek death in her previous life, and she must have a lot of resentment. Could it be that someone burned her some talisman paper or practice?

"Among the officials and nobles, there are quite a lot of believers. It is impossible to find someone based on this point, but after you have doubts about the candidate, it should be useful to confirm it based on this point."

Cui Tao shrugged, there was always no other clue except a bloody veil and the excrement of a noble horse.Even this act of suddenly killing Su Yuwan's mother and daughter is very confusing, Cui Liu is fine, isn't it a pity to kill such an excellent person as Su Yuwan?

……

Shenzhou, Furong Pavilion.

The boy closed his eyes and soaked in the hot spring for a long time, until the skin on his hands became white and wrinkled, then he got up and changed his clothes. The clothes inside and outside were still white as snow, not stained with dust.

"Young master, the portrait of Cui Qiniang." Zhuifeng unfolded the portrait he had found and showed it to the young man in white.This portrait is exactly the one that Kaifeng Mansion offered to reward Cui Tao at the beginning.

The boy in white saw that the painting was a beautiful woman, so he took the painting and looked at it carefully.

"Go to Ruyi Garden to find out all about her past, not a single detail is allowed."

Chasing the wind promises.

"The imperial court will not let Dizang Pavilion go now, leave a few for them to play with, and the rest will be incorporated. Also, they will all be poured with absolute child soup. No one will be allowed to have children in the future, it will only cause trouble."

The boy in white said disgustedly, and sent Cui Tao's portrait to the candle, ignited it directly, and threw it on the ground.
