Crown Sword

Not long after, she really found a yellow sweat towel in the crevice under the hay mat, as if someone accidentally dropped it while sitting here.

A corner of the back of the scarf was embroidered with the character plum. Wang Hong leaned over to have a look, pointed and shouted: "It's from Mei Nongwen. I saw that he used it. I heard that his mother embroidered it for him. It has been embroidered for more than ten years." I'm not willing to throw it away, because this is still being ridiculed... Ahem, I have ridiculed it many times, and I remember it turning into ashes."

"Mei Nongwen has been here?"

"This cloud cave ghost not only plunders women and children, but also young men? Don't be some kind of mountain spirit who specializes in sucking people's energy?"

When Chen Shao heard this, his face turned livid, and he couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly.

Finally, someone called out the guess under the "all eyes"——

"What nonsense, don't think about it, Mei Nongwen has a grudge with the young master of the Yu family, Mei Nongwen ran away, Mei Nongwen's things appeared in Jiangdu's grottoes inexplicably, and the Yunku ghost disappeared. The mountain spirit who can explain a fart is foxy, but can only explain that Mei Nongwen is a cloud cave ghost!"

As soon as this remark came out, the banquet heroes who arrested the murderer frantically pressed it out again. Several people who wanted to climb the Yu family's momentum rushed up and yelled, and took the initiative to invite Ying to catch Mei Nongwen.

Of course, not everyone present was so stupid. Being easily incited by others, there were quite a few quick-witted people in the Yu family who quickly realized that Mei Nongwen was not as old as the crown. Ten years ago he was less than ten years old. Although his personal belongings fell here, it is far-fetched to really equate the two.

One of the nurses of Yu's family wanted to speculate, but was blocked by the eldest son Yuguan, as if deliberately letting these people search along the way, and even intercepted people in several thoroughfares.

When Gong Yangyue took this scene into his eyes, the seemingly brave and reckless second son was also staring at his elder brother.

Chen Shao walked past Chao Chen, muttering to himself, no matter what, he didn't believe that Mei Nongwen's child would be the heinous Yunku ghost. He originally took this clue to clear up his grievances, but he never thought, Got this result.

Neither Mei Nongwen nor Yunku Ghost had anything to do with Xuan Chan, and now that the truth had come to light, she pushed Wang Mi to come forward, gave him a step, and ordered the Yu family to release him.

The Yu family said it was good, and they tried to persuade them to stay again and again, not saying that it was their own crime, and that they must make an apology to Her Highness the Princess and the second family.

Xuan Chan didn't want to answer at first, but because it was inconvenient to travel overnight, she rested in the villa overnight, and when she went to visit Shi Miaoyi, she told her about the Yunku ghost in detail to avoid suspicion, but unfortunately she didn't get the response she deserved.Erdangjia held that tight tone in his heart, and Xuanchan felt distressed when he saw her, especially when he saw her caressing the begonia, and she looked depressed when she was drooping her eyes in deep thought.

Therefore, Xuan Chan kept an eye out, and overheard the conversation between the steward and Miao Ye, only then did she realize that the picture of a beautiful woman was actually Mao Cangcang——

It's not dozing off with a hot pillow!

Xuan Chan originally wanted to solve Shi Miaoye's knot, so she came to her door, so she was not in a hurry to leave. After reporting the case to the county magistrate, she obediently waited for the errands below to catch him. She wanted to intervene in person, ask Knowing why the murderer wanted to blame the dead disciple, or if the murderer was the same one who killed Miss Cangcang back then, then he must be cut to pieces.

However, she felt apprehensive and uneasy staying here alone, and Wang Mi had an important job and couldn't take a long leave, so she thought about it and thought of Shuang Li, who had a similar aura, and persuaded her, Gong Yangyue and others.

Chen Shao cared about Mei Nongwen in his heart, and had no intention of leaving, and it was a hit and miss to stay.

After everything was finalized, Xuan Chan happily returned to her room.

In order to show their dignity, Yu's family allocated the best house in the village to her. This house was separated by multiple gates and divided into gardens. She turned around and walked slowly, and the maid who led the way disappeared in the blink of an eye.Fortunately, Xuan Chan has a good memory, she has already recognized her after going back and forth twice, and she is not in a hurry to find someone, so she turns back and walks away by herself.

Walking past the vine-wrapped flower wall, a black shadow with a knife fell from the top of the wall, looking to cut the fair and tender neck, and another sword came to kill, the two of them stuck to the green vine and silently fought several moves, the assassin couldn't take it down The man turned around and ran away, disappeared into the bushes, while the rescuer went to the inner mansion and returned to Shi Miaoyi.

This was done in one go, and Xuan Chan was not alarmed.

"Second leader, someone really attacked the princess." The swordsman took off his mask, and it turned out to be the kind old shopkeeper who poured tea with Shi Miaoye during the day.

Shi Miaoye was still fiddling with flowers and branches, but without the slump and sorrow just now, there was a little more sternness and majesty: "Do you also believe that it is a cloud cave ghost?"

"This……"

"It's too hasty." Shi Miaoyi shook her head and said softly, "The Yu family doesn't seem to be in a hurry to arrest the murderer. They clearly want to settle the matter as soon as possible, but isn't it their own family who died? Think about it, if Princess Poyang doesn't come here to intervene One kick, maybe the person who was assassinated just now was me."

"A member of the Yu family? Or..."

"No matter who it is, the purpose is very simple, either they want us to be vigilant and investigate this case, or they want us to die!"

The room was dead silent.

Shi Miaoye stopped talking, stretched out her hand to pinch the best flower in the middle, and dismissed the old steward.When she turned around with her hands folded and walked to the door, she sighed again: "I will trouble you to take care of her during these days."

The next day, a servant from the Yu family came to report, and the head of the family held a banquet to entertain the guests. The news spread to the ears of Gong Yangyue and the others one after another, and the atmosphere became even weirder for a while.I don't do this trivial matter, but I still have the mood to hold a banquet. It doesn't look like a family with a single grandson who died, as if human life is not important, and high-ranking officials and rich salary are even more important.

When the news got out, Princess Yu's reputation was damaged, and those who didn't know thought that the officials were using power to oppress her.

Gongyangyue commented in four words: Ambition is not small.

Sure enough, within two hours, it was rumored in private that Cheng Yu's family had mistakenly identified the murderer, fearing that Shi Miaoye and Zhuquelou would retaliate, so they didn't even care about trivial matters, so they hurriedly made amends.

A good pot of sewage was poured over, not only avoiding disturbing the princess, but also suppressing the prestige of Suzaku House in the Jianghu.

It is said that mountain delicacies should be prepared, and the banquet is set after the feeding time, and it is placed in a water pavilion, near the lotus pond, so that you can not only watch fish and flowers, but also bend the water to flow the cup.

In the evening, when the dishes had just been laid out, and less than a moment after the maid left, the lanterns on the hanging corners were suddenly extinguished. When the guests arrived, the lotus pond and the entire pavilion across the side bank were completely dark. He repeatedly asked the boss to come forward to ask questions, but no one answered, so he hurriedly called his own servant to light the candle.

The orange light gently paves the surface of the water, gradually forming a galaxy in the world.

However, before everyone could marvel at the beauty of the jade lamp, they saw the eldest son Yuguan sitting in the first place, lying face down on the food table, motionless, holding a small wine glass in his right hand, pouring the wine into the pond drop by drop. The surrounded fish in the pond spread out one after another.

"Yuguan, sorry!"

The head of the Yu family was ashamed and hot. He first apologized to the princess, and then stepped forward to scold the unfilial son himself. When he grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him up, the guests who faced him were all shocked——

I saw Yumian Langjun's mouth was open, his eyes were wide open, his eyelids were turned out, blood was gushing, and he died in a moment of panic and loss of consciousness.

"what!"

Shuang Li walked in front and was scared to death. Xuan Chan hurriedly turned around to cover her, curled up slightly and hugged her whole body in her sleeves. Feeling terrified, she just wanted to leave this miserable and green villa like a ghost town, while Cui Tanfeng rushed to the front with the medicine box in her hands, before she even got a pulse, she just took a look and concluded, "I'm really scared to death."

Shi Miaoyi turned her head and looked at the old steward, then hissed and sighed: "Patriarch Yu, my condolences." Chen Shao also stepped forward and said some words of comfort.

Only the second son, Yu Xian, had the most intense reaction: "Whoever kills a thousand swords killed my elder brother, I will definitely skin him and tear him apart! Yes, it must be the Yunku ghost who escaped. He knows that we destroyed his house!" Lao Wo, so come here to take revenge, come here, where is my knife, take my knife, I will hack to death—”

Just when Yuxian was furious and slashing wildly with a knife to vent his anger, a beautiful figure swept across the branch, with long sleeves and wind, like a light rain of apricot blossoms.

The long knife fell, but was caught by Nianhuayu's hands without haste.

Hearing the crisp sound of "Dingling--", the second young master Yuxian took two steps back, glaring at the handsome jade man dressed in gold silk and white clothes.

It is said that Yu is too cold, but she is beautiful and soft, and she has a gentle demeanor and a sense of propriety, which makes people feel comfortable and intimate.

Wang Hong and Cui Tanfeng recognized the one, they couldn't help calling out in unison: "Yu, Mrs. Yu?"

The woman looked back and nodded in response, but it was Yu Zancha, one of Dongwu Jun's right-hand men, mentioned by Hua Chao Jieye when he talked about taking the cloud platform.

Xuan Chan blinked her eyes, opened her lips, and called out "Aunt Yu" silently, while Shuang Li was stunned in place, showing a startling look. This beauty is completely different from Miao Yi's glamorousness. The elegant demeanor is the air of Mrs. Gaoming.In the early years, Nayu Chancha was married to a general in the army of the Northern Prefecture as his wife. His later husband was killed in the Northern Expedition. His Majesty took pity on him and hired a female officer to teach the prince and princess some physical fitness exercises in the palace.

Gongyangyue also heard about this statement, so she stared at it.

Just as he was concentrating on watching, there was a sound of branches snapping in his ears. He suddenly turned his head and saw Chao Chen standing by the side of the flower tree, stretching out his hand to break the branches, but he still didn't hear it. Looking at the shallow scratches on the moss on the stone slab, it was obvious that he hadn't noticed it before. Back off consciously.

Why is there such a big reaction?

Just when he was about to think about it carefully, Patriarch Yu, who was indulging in grief, looked up, his fat cheeks twitched, his black and white eyes were filled with hatred, he stared at Yu Chaicha, and after a long time, he reluctantly bowed his hands and said with his neck stuck. : "It's a white matter at home, forgive me for being negligent, I don't know what happened?"

So rude that he didn't even have a name or honorific title.

Yu Zancha didn't mind, he was doing business: "The slave family came here on order. There was a thunderstorm two days ago, and the Jade Buddha presented by the master of the Yu family was broken into pieces in the treasure pavilion of the palace. Find a way."

This news was like a bolt from the blue to the old Patriarch who had lost his beloved son. Without mentioning it, he immediately sat down on the ground, tongue numb.

Yu Xian stepped forward, and glanced at Yu Cancha coldly: "What method?"

Jade Canchai said in a non-salty way: "For example, offer an identical one." As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. In the early years, they heard that the Jade Buddha was made by nature, and it was not chiseled by man. Teach them where to find the same thing, let alone , even if it is imitated, isn't it disrespectful to the Buddha?

Yuxian, who even died of his own son and eldest brother, after his old father also suffered a stroke, suddenly let go of his recklessness and calmed down. Maybe he understood the death order of King Kuaiji behind Yucanchai. As pawns, they could only obey Instead of confronting Ling about his actions, he chose to stand on the sidelines indifferently. He first confessed to his servants and sent additional staff, intending to "keep" everyone present at Yuzhen Villa.

Chao Chen didn't care about the Jade Buddha, and his mind was always on Madam Yu. Gong Yangyue's eyes were full, and he secretly pushed him from the air, trying to test the reaction of the two.Just when Chao Chen was about to bump into Yu Cancha, Yu Cancha suddenly looked back, staring at the tall and thin man Yuli standing by the pond through the falling flowers.

Chen Shao looked at him, respecting him like a guest, nothing else.

"Shao, send greetings to Lord Dongwu, is your majesty holding the cloud platform?"

"Very good, Mr. Lao Wenhu, take care."

Afterwards, there was no answer, but the picture was so beautiful that even the birds wading in the water were unwilling to disturb the reflection of the two of them laid out on the surface of the pool.

Chao Chen staggered, was busy climbing up and standing still, and missed Yu Chancha's words: "What are you doing?"

Gong Yangyue listened with pricked ears, but he was too busy responding to Chao Chen's questioning, so he couldn't help but suppress it at this moment: "I see that you seem to be very interested in Madam Yu?"
