Chapter 42 The Ghost Faced Man

"That's right, I'm Xiao Fengling who was used by you as a scapegoat. So you'd better be sensible and cooperate with me obediently before I lose patience, otherwise, no matter how much you cry, I won't be soft on you." Xiao Fengling admitted lightly, staring at Min Ya gradually turned cold, "Tell me! Did you and Tang Xiao conspire to kill Nan Gonglian, and then put the blame on me?!"

Min Ya looked at Xiao Fengling with tears in her eyes and shook her head frequently, and said tremblingly, "That's not the case! How could I have killed my husband? Besides, I don't know who Tang Xiao you are talking about!"

"You mean you didn't kill Nangong Lian?" Han Tiexin was surprised, did he make a mistake in his deduction, "Then do you know what the real cause of his death is?"

"Xianggong, Xianggong died of an asthma attack."

"Heh~~ asthma?" Xiao Fengling obviously didn't believe Min Ya's words, "Then how do you explain the sword marks on his neck?"

"That, that, I don't know what's going on, it's all done by the ghost-masked man, it's none of my business."

"Ghost Mask?" Han Tiexin asked eagerly, "Who is he? The one who poisoned your son?"

When Han Tiexin asked, Min Ya's tears fell again, and she choked up for a long time, before she said: "Yes, that's the man! I don't know his real identity, every time we meet, he is wearing night clothes , with a ghost mask on his face. He threatened me with Chun'er and told me to listen to him."

Han Tiexin nodded and said to Xiao Fengling: "Since Master Xiao can tell the name of the poison in Mr. Nangong's body, it can be seen that he is no stranger to that kind of poison, so the person who poisoned him..."

"It's Tang Xiao!" Every word Xiao Fengling uttered was icy cold, like an ice blade sticking to the ear and slashing, "His mother was once one of the five poisonous envoys of your Red Flame Sect, Spider Envoy Doka, you should have heard that after she got married, she left the Scarlet Flame Sect and followed her husband's family to the Central Plains, and the ghost-faced spider is the proud work of her cultivation."

Han Tiexin was thinking anxiously, how could he have heard of the spider envoy Doka, he had never even set foot on the land of Miaojiang, and was thinking about how to avoid this topic, but Xiao Fengling asked Min Ya again : "How is that man's martial arts?"

Min Ya showed a look of frustration, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know how high his martial arts are, but I am definitely not his opponent."

This time Xiao Fengling frowned behind the mask even tighter.Min Ya was a teacher of the Golden Knife Hall, and although he was not considered a top player in the arena, he was able to rank among the top. Tang Xiao was crushed by himself and ruined his martial arts. Even if he recovered, he should not be Min Ya's opponent. Unless...he had some adventure.

Xiao Fengling didn't make a sound, and attacked Min Ya in a flash. Min Ya saw that he was standing there talking just now, but now he attacked inexplicably. , After a few moves between the two of them, Xiao Fengling suddenly stopped, retreated back, and asked calmly, "Is the kung fu of that ghost-masked man the same as mine?"

"You..." Min Ya could only say this word out of breath, then covered her chest and gasped, staring intently at the young man in white who was calmly drinking tea in front of her, she even doubted The recruiting of the killer just now was just his own illusion.

Xiao Fengling glanced at Min Ya: "Don't say unnecessary words, answer my question! Yes, or no."

Xiao Fengling's voice was peaceful, but Min Ya felt an invisible pressure, and a suffocating cold surrounded Xiao Fengling's body.

Min Ya struggled to take a few breaths, and replied slightly tremblingly: "No. Your martial arts routines are completely different."

Xiao Fengling thought to himself, did he really get a blessing in disguise, and find some way to make his martial arts improve by leaps and bounds?Heh~ God really can't open his eyes!

This time, Nangong Chun, who had been sleeping beside him, suddenly coughed, at first it was a low, suppressed cough, then it became more and more severe, and finally he frothed at the mouth and twitched all over his body.

"Chun'er!"

Min Ya rushed over and hugged Nangong Chun, trying to calm down his twitching body, Xiao Fengling also walked over quickly, stretched out three fingers of her right hand to rest on Nangong Chun's wrist, and said with a tsk: "It's strange, I just gave it to you He took the tranquilizing medicine, how did the medicine wear off in such a short period of time?"

"I think it's because Mr. Nangong has taken too many mind-soothing drugs recently, so that his body has developed resistance to these drugs."

"Drug resistance? What do you mean?" Xiao Fengling asked.

Han Tiexin replied: "After taking a certain type of drug for a long time, the body's tolerance to this type of drug has increased, but the same dose cannot achieve the original effect. This is drug resistance."

Min Ya wiped away tears, carefully wiped all the filth from the corners of Nangong Chun's mouth, and said with a sob: "Since Chun'er was poisoned, he can't sleep well every night. At first, give him some tranquilizing medicine, and he will be able to sleep well." I slept quietly all night, but now... I don't care what purpose you have for the Nangong family, or what grievances you have with that ghost-masked man, I just want to protect my Chun'er!"

After all, the tears that had just been wiped away slipped down again.

Xiao Fengling's heart suddenly seemed to be firmly grasped by a hand. This kind of mother-child affection was beyond his reach in his life. Accompanied by a trace of jealousy that he did not want to admit, Xiao Fengling took the paper on the table The pen wrote a short letter and handed it to Min Ya, and said in a gentle tone that was completely different from the aggressiveness just now: "Send a trustworthy person to send this letter to Qingping to teach Wen Yu. I will come and heal your son."

Min Ya has heard of the name of Wen Yu, the medical fairy. Although he doesn't know if he can cure Nangong Chun's poison, he always has a glimmer of hope. Min Ya hastily sent someone to secretly send the letter to Qingping, and then Sitting at the table, he explained the ins and outs of the matter to Xiao Fengling and Han Tiexin.

"After Xianggong died, the ghost-masked man captured Chun'er, forced him to drink meth, and threatened me, telling me to do what he said, otherwise Chun'er would die. I am inferior to others, so I had to listen to him. of."

Han Tiexin asked: "That ghost-masked man asked you to move out of the room?"

Min Ya nodded, "Yes."

Han Tiexin asked again: "I saw a layer of dust on the floor of the room. Obviously, no one has cleaned it for a long time, but the desk is very clean. The books on the desk have traces of being flipped through. What is that person looking for?"

"I don't know." Min Ya shook his head, "He just asked me to send someone to guard the husband's room and not allow anyone to enter, including me. I don't know what he did in there."

Xiao Fengling said: "Asthma is not a sudden illness. Patriarch Nangong has asthma, so why did he die suddenly without medicine?"

"Xianggong always suffers from asthma, but it's not serious. He doesn't usually take medicine. He said that he was fine when he went to practice that day. Who knew that at night, someone called him to eat, and found that he... was dead."

"Oh? Then how can you be sure that he died of asthma?" Xiao Fengling asked.

"Msanggong died of suffocation. There was no wound on his body when he died, and there were no traces of fighting around, so..."

"These alone cannot prove that he died of asthma." Han Tiexin interrupted, "If his mouth and nose were covered, he would have died of suffocation."

Min Ya frowned and said, "If that's the case, how could Mr. Xiang not even show any sign of resistance?"

Han Tiexin said seriously: "People usually struggle a lot when their mouth and nose are covered and they can't breathe well, but the premise is that the person is conscious. What if that person has already lost consciousness when his mouth and nose are covered?"

After listening to Han Tiexin's words, Xiao Fengling recalled that day when she inspected the remains in the Nangong refining coffin, her expression was peaceful, as if she had fallen asleep, but if she really died of an asthma attack, the expression on her face would be contorted and twitching , agreeing: "The guardian suspects that Patriarch Nangong has been drugged?"

"I think it's very likely."

Xiao Fengling couldn't wait to ask Min Ya: "How do you usually contact that ghost-masked man, and where do you go to find him?"

"He comes to me every time." Min Ya replied, "He hasn't shown up for a while, and I don't know where he is now."

Han Tiexin thought to himself, if the deaths of Wang Kui and Mrs. Huijing were all related to this ghost-masked man, he really had no choice but to stay here any longer.

Speaking of this, Min Ya became nervous again: "In two days, Chun'er will take the antidote. If, if he doesn't come back, what will Chun'er do?!" Min Ya's voice was trembling and anxious, Nangong Chun Du's pain and helplessness when she had a haircut was vivid, which broke her heart.

"Who?!" Han Tiexin and Xiao Fengling shouted at the same time as the flame on the candle trembled slightly.
