Xian Xian

The next morning, when the sun hadn't risen yet, Li Chaoge came back with a murderous look on the dewdrops. There was no expression on Li Chaoge's face, but when everyone saw her, they all bowed their heads unconsciously and stepped aside.

The people of Dali Temple had been busy at the Tibetan Sword Villa all night. They saw the faint blood stains on the cuffs of Li Chaoge, and the eight-foot-tall men quieted down one by one. They stopped their movements and saluted Li Chaoge: "Commander."

What they do is officialdom, and what they shout is also officialdom. Previously, they respected her as a princess, because she was the emperor's daughter, and her privilege and honor were born with her. But now, the people of Dali Temple are willing to hold her superiors.

She is the commander and the well-deserved head of the Demon Division.

Li Chaoge chased the murderer overnight, and had just experienced fierce fighting, so he was in no mood to talk nonsense at the moment. Li Chaoge glanced at the ugly corpse, with a weak tone, and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Ms. Mo went back to rest with the owner's wife, and Gu Sicheng sorted out the evidence in the owner's study."

Hong Chengyuan burned the materials in the Cishi Mansion, but the letter Wu Jinyuan sent to him still kept?. Last night I really found Xu Xingning's body in the secret room of the Hidden Sword Villa. Now I only need to find the original correspondence between Hong Chengyuan and Wu Jin, and this case can be finalized.

Li Chaoge nodded faintly, and walked to the study. Li Chaoge chased Hong Chengyuan all night, and Gu Mingke stayed in the villa and did not sleep overnight.

When Li Chaoge came in, the messy study room that had been smashed by Zhou Shao had been cleaned up, and several stacks of documents were neatly placed on the bookshelves and desks, which had been arranged in chronological order. Li Chaoge picked up one casually, flipped it through, put it down and asked: "Have you read everything here?"

In addition to the correspondence between Hong Chengyuan and the court and Wulin, even the account book of the Tibetan Sword Villa 18 years ago has been uncovered. To organize so many things in one night, the workload is really not small.

"Yeah." Gu Mingke put down a book, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and then opened them. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and his appearance was cold, without the slightest fatigue. "Where is Hong Chengyuan?"

"We were driven to a desperate situation, didn't you? We were willing to become a prisoner and committed suicide. Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao were behind, and later came back with his corpse." Li Chaoge found a clean place, supported his arm, lazily Leaning on a pile of scrolls, "It's finally over."

Gu Mingke was afraid that she would fall, stretched out his hand to hold the scroll, and said, "If you are tired, find a place to sleep, don't you? You want to lie down here for a while? You should crush the scroll."

This person, she worked so hard to catch the murderer back, but he only cared about his files. Gu Mingke was afraid that the information would be messed up, and Li Chaoge insisted on pressing her. She closed her eyes and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Ren Fang is still tied up? Last night, the wife of the owner was shocked and fainted. Hua Lingfeng and Ma Linlang were with her." Gu Mingke replied lightly, holding the stack of books with his hands. The scroll is round. If Gu Mingke let go and the scroll fell apart, Li Chaoge would definitely fall on the table. However, Li Chaoge closed her eyes and didn't notice all of this. She leaned in comfortably?, and asked, "Where is Qianyuan Sword?"

"The whereabouts are unknown."

Qian Yuanjian hasn't been found yet. Li Chaoge was about to say something when he heard footsteps outside. Li Chaoge had good ears and could hear far away movements. She immediately stopped talking and sat up slowly. After she finished finishing her clothes, the reporter walked into the study and saluted Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge: "Princess, Master Gu, Madam is awake, and I have something to say to the two of you."

Sheng Lanchu, as the only person who experienced both the old village owner and the governor at the same time, should indeed give them an explanation. Li Chaoge got up and said, "Lead the way ahead."

Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke walked to Shenglanchu's courtyard. Although Sheng Lanchu is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, the place where she lives hangs? Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is extremely elegant. When Li Chaoge entered the house, Mo Linlang saw her and stood up immediately: "Princess."

Sheng Lanchu was struggling to get out of bed and salute, but was stopped by Li Chaoge: "Madam? You must be polite. Madam is weak, just say it on the bed."

After Sheng Lanchu's repeated pleas, he asked the maid to take her seat and invited Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke to sit down. When Li Chaoge sat down, he scanned the inner room and found that the furnishings in the room were patchy, elegant and quiet, and he could see that the owner had put a lot of thought into it. Are the maids sitting on their knees? Surrounded by the bed, with their hands folded on their abdomen, they looked down at the ground slightly, their eyes were not messy, and the rules were very good.

Hua Lingfeng guarded before Shenglan's fall, the corners of his eyes were red, his eyes were concerned, and he seemed to guard for the night. Because Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke were here, he gave up the nearest position and moved to the back. For that matter, his gaze was always on Sheng Lanchu.

Li Chaoge looked back at Sheng Lanchu, and said quickly: "Madam, you must have known that your husband Hong Chengyuan murdered the assassin. The evidence is conclusive. You are his wife. It’s hard to escape the suspicion. If the wife wants to prove her innocence, please tell all this together. What is going on with Qian Yuanjian, your father Sheng Lao Zhuang, and the maid named Xiao Lian in the lake?"

Sheng Lanchu sighed for a long time and said: "I didn't expect that things would develop into this step. My father was bewildered by that sword, and he became benevolent, righteous, or merciful, even I loved it for many years. Her husband also followed in my father's footsteps."

Li Chaoge's eyebrows moved slightly: "Which sword?"

Sheng Lanchu closed her eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye: "Qianyuanjian."

"Twenty years ago, when my father was still alive, he loved swords and became obsessed in martial arts. A group of wandering merchants came to Luzhou and showed my father an ancient sword, and paid a high price. That group of people The lion opened his mouth, why? My father really loves swords, and in the end he almost emptied the entire family business and bought it at the original price. Since my father got this sword, he loved it and threw himself on it, even the outside world. No? Dali. It took him two years to search through the ancient books and finally found out the origin of this sword. It turned out that this was actually the funeral of the ancient emperor Kui-Qianyuan sword."

Hidden Sword Villa has been forging swords for generations, and the old owner is a sword lunatic. He said that it was Qianyuan sword, which was basically certain. Li Chaoge focused all of his attention on Qianyuan Sword, and asked, "Does this sword have any magical powers?"

What kind of magical power is it that allows Emperor Kui to be buried in the coffin, and what kind of magical power is it that can kill the invulnerable Li Chaoge?

Sheng Lanchu said: "You may not believe it, but this sword really has the power to turn decay into a miracle. My father loves the sword like his life, and he always keeps holding a sword without sleep or rest. I didn't take it seriously. But since he bought the Qianyuan Sword, the fortune of the Tibetan Sword Villa has actually improved day by day. His father’s purchase of the sword had emptied his old money, but in those two years, the order of the Tibetan Sword Villa has suddenly increased three times as much as in previous years. The disciple’s iron casting sword was also very smooth, and high-quality goods were frequently produced. His father was very pleased. He looked up the ancient books and learned that Kuiguo had incorporated all kinds of rare treasures and magical powers when casting the Qianyuan sword. This sword was cast with the power of the country to strengthen the fortune of the country and to dominate the world. Later Kui emperor unified the nations, and this sword also followed him to sleep, don’t? Know why? It spread to my father. We ordinary people naturally don’t have King Kui. Isn’t it possible to fight invincible? Win the unification of the world, but soliciting a little wealth is not hindered. I originally thought it was God’s grace and blessing our Sheng family. I never expected that this sword gathers the world’s great fortune, too. Set the world's great evil. Qianyuan sword brought wealth, power, fame, and luck to its masters in the past dynasties."

Didn't the room become quiet? Everyone listened to the story with bated breath. Does Li Chaoge feel clenched his fingers and asked, "Why?"

Gu Mingke lowered his eyes and said the same answer as Sheng Lanchu in his heart.

"Because of this sword, a living person is used to sacrifice."

Li Chaoge was taken aback after listening, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Sheng Lanchu sighed deeply, showing unbearable expression, and said: "Sword forging has always had a saying that a really good sword can communicate with the master's mind, and if you want to make the sword spiritual, one way is for the master to bring the sword with him. The other is to add blood during casting and forging to artificially increase the closeness of the sword to people. Qianyuan sword is the latter, and it is more dangerous. It uses seven or seven living sacrifices. Cast by the law."

Li Chaoge listened more and more around, and asked, "What is the Qiqi Living Sacrifice Method?"

Li Chaoge undoubtedly expressed the aspirations of everyone present. Sheng Lanchu explained: "The Seven-Seven Living Sacrifice Method is to let the sword be burned in a furnace for seven or seventy-nine days, and blood is added to the sword every day. As time goes by, The blood volume also gradually increased. Until the last day, a whole living person was thrown into the sword furnace, and the sword was quenched with blood to obtain the supreme world. The Qianyuan sword was sacrificed by a living person, so it was invincible and invincible. It is because of this that it can suppress Wang Mai and bring wealth and power to the master."

Li Chaoge was stunned after listening to it. It was just a sword, and he even lost a life in it? Li Chaoge asked: "Is the blood used for the sacrifice of several people or one person?"

"The same person." Sheng Lanchu replied, "Because the purpose of the blood sacrifice is to strengthen the resonance between the sword and the owner, if the blood of a lot of people is used, the sword aura will be mixed, but it will fall behind. So it is best to use the same person. Blood."

Li Chaoge couldn't bear it, and cursed: "Absurd! Fighting the world depends on strategy and courage? How can one place hope on a dead thing and still cruel a life for it? Sacrifice to that person requires forty-nine days of blood, the last day I have to jump into the flames to melt the sword for them, even if I die? Happy, it's really **** mildew."

Li Chaoge cursed directly without concealing his disapproval, and the others bowed their heads, only sighing.

Sheng Lanchu sighed: "Yeah, I also think this method is too cruel. I didn't expect my father to be like a devil, crazy infatuated with Qianyuan sword. He is a swordsmith, and can't help it when he sees a good sword. Want to try it, doesn’t he? I know from which ancient book he found the Qiqiqi live sacrifice method, and he actually intended to imitate it. I was busy practicing the exercises. Besides, my father used to do it for a few months? Seeing figures, so I didn’t take it seriously. . Who knows..."

When Sheng Lanchu talked about this, her emotions suddenly became agitated. The maid hurriedly supported Sheng Lanchu, and Hua Lingfeng also called out worriedly: "Madam!"

Sheng Lanchu shook her head, resisted the choking, and continued: "Who knows that there is a heavy rain one day, I suddenly heard an explosion. I hurriedly rushed over to see and found that his father was in the secret room, the sword furnace was exploded, and his father was stuck on his back? Yuan Jian, his body was full of blood. I was frightened, and hurriedly chased after the blood stains, and found a woman who fell into the lake, drowned when I went. I only knew at this time that my father actually bought one called Xiao Xiao Lian’s maid served as a sword slave and used it to sacrifice and forge swords. Later, Xiao Lian found an opportunity, stabbed her father with a sword, and ran away quietly by herself, but fell into the lake due to excessive blood loss and lack of physical strength."

Sheng Lanchu said, struggling to get up from the bed, and kowtow to Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke deeply: "I went too late. All these mistakes have been made. I know that my father made a big mistake, but he also gave his life. At the price, I concealed all this for the sake of the reputation of Cangjian Villa, saying that Xiaolian fell into the water and gave them a lot of money, so that her parents can enjoy their twilight years, and also made my father a decent sword-making wizard. We are dead. Our father and daughter are both sinful and wicked. If the princess and Mrs. Gu are held accountable, they will punish me. For the sake of the deceased, please don’t expose my father’s crimes and leave him with a good name."

Sheng Lanchu didn't describe Gu as embarrassed, or just kowtow to Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke. Hua Lingfeng was shocked and surprised, he was dumbfounded on the spot, no longer? Know how to react.

During this day, his world collapsed one after another. He knows that the master he regarded as an idol is actually a disciple of fame, and that the master prefers the second younger brother not because the second younger brother is young, but because the second younger brother is the illegitimate child of the master! He also learned that the master suddenly pointed him to martial arts, not because he cared about him, but wanted him to die for the second junior brother.

Now, Hua Lingfeng once again broke down to hear that his master, who was respected by the entire village as a sword-making wizard, actually used a living person to sacrifice a sword.

Sheng Lan burst into tears at the beginning, and she was no longer gentle and dignified. Hua Lingfeng's tears fell, and he dried his eyes vigorously, walked up to Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, and knelt down straight. Sheng Lanchu saw it and scolded: "Ling Feng, what are you doing?"

Hua Lingfeng threw himself to the ground, knocked to the ground with a bang, and said: "As the saying goes, one day as a teacher and a lifelong father, as the saying goes, the father pays his debts. My Master and Master have done something wrong and should be borne by me. Master Gu If the princess wants to be held accountable, just come at me, don't make it difficult for her mother. She just did what a daughter and wife should do."

When Mo Linlang saw this scene, his face was unbearable, don't turn his face and couldn't bear to look again. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke glanced at each other, and Gu Mingke asked, "If, as you said, the old owner and Xiao Lian were both dead when you went, how do you know that Xiao Lian is a sword slave?"

Sheng Lanchu showed some unspeakable color, and said: "Because there are many blood vessels in the secret room next to my father's sword furnace, as well as traces of the woman's life. The blood stains flowed out from the sword casting room all the way. By the lake, Xiao Lian has already stumbled and drowned in the lake. In fact, there was a rumor in the villa before that his father bought a new maid, called Xiao Lian, who was alone and was well-paid, and did not live with other maids. Together. People said that my father Jinwu Cangjiao, I don’t want to listen to these foul language, and ordered them not to say any more. Later, Xiaolian disappeared for a while, and I didn’t think much about it, who would know...this happened. Kind of thing."

Li Chaoge spoke slowly? "According to this, the old owner bought Xiaolian from the folks, and quietly raised her in the secret room. When the time was right, he put her blood into the sword. I didn't expect the sword to be made. , She was killed by Xiaolian. Xiaolian ran away in a hurry, but she also lost too much blood and fell into the water unexpectedly. Is that true?"

With tears on Sheng Lanchu's face, he nodded and said, "The princess is right."

"It makes sense, but I still feel suspicious." Li Chaoge asked, "Since Xiao Lian was kept in a secret room for bleeding, she should be very weak. How can she be killed? The old owner?"

Sheng Lanchu's face sank, she dismissed the left and right maid, lowered her voice and said, "Princess, these things are for me to say, but I still have to remind the princess that the Qianyuan sword is not auspicious, it is a fierce one. Sword. Perhaps because it was refined by a blood sacrifice, this sword is bloodthirsty. Once it comes into contact with the invigorating blood, it will never stop. Xiaolian pierced my father's body with the Qianyuan sword, and my father... The hilt sword sucked up the blood and died."

Isn't the expression on Ma Linlang's face too faithful, this statement is too mysterious, the sword can kill people? But Li Chaoge immediately believed it. She has also been killed by Qianyuan Jian once, she has a deep understanding?.

Is Mo Linlang waiting? Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke questioned, but the princess and Master Gu didn't say anything, but they seemed to believe it. Mo Linlang was taken aback, and Gu Mingke had already stood up and said, "I will re-check what you said just now. If you lie..."

Sheng Lanchu immediately lowered her neck and reverently said, "Isn't my concubine body? I dare to make a false statement."

Gu Mingke turned and left. Li Chaoge looked at it, stood up slowly, and said, "Madam, rest assured. The past is over. The most important moment is now, isn't it?"

Sheng Lanchu bowed his head gratefully, and promised: "Princess Xie for comfort, my concubine understands."

Li Chaoge turned to go out, and Mo Linlang hurriedly followed. When he reached the door, Li Chaoge stopped suddenly and looked back into the house. Mo Linlang followed? Turning around, seeing Hua Lingfeng helping Sheng Lanchu to wipe her tears, her expression was quite serious.

Li Chaoge chuckled, saying nothing, and left the curtain. Mo Linlang took one last look and quickly caught up with Li Chaoge.

Mo Linlang ran behind Li Chaoge and asked, "Princess, is what she said is true?"

"She dare to say that it must be true."

Mo Linlang responded and asked, "Then what are we going to do next?"

"Check the evidence." Li Chaoge sighed slightly, "Sheng Lanchu revealed so much information, and some of us are busy. Send someone to Wu Jinyuan's hometown to open a coffin for an autopsy. I should know how Wu Jinyuan died."

Wu Jin’s original home is a long way from Luzhou, and it takes a lot of time to come and go. Li Chaoge stayed at the Tibetan Sword Villa and waited. During this time, they went to Xiaolian’s hometown to verify that Xiaolian’s parents and relatives, date of birth, and reason for the sale were the same as Sheng Lanchu said, and even Sheng Lanchu’s pension was also the same. It was indeed delivered to Xiaolian's family. Li Chaoge opened? The secret room where the old owner died. On the floor and walls of the secret room, traces of blood were found. There were also traces of activity on the side, like someone who had lived here for a long time.

Li Chaoge even found the old servant who left the Hidden Sword Villa ten years ago. The old servant recalled for a long time, saying: "There was indeed Xiao Lian back then, but she was alone, and she was very different from everyone. Later Xiao Lian fell into the group. The lake was drowned, and no one cared because there were no acquaintances."

Li Chaoge asked: "Why is she drowning?"

"I don't know, I probably fell into the lake by accident." The old servant said with a scornful look on his face. , It deserves it."

The old servant's perception of Xiaolian? It seems very bad? Well, Li Chaoge asked, "Why, did she do anything?"

"It's nothing, just don't see? I'm used to her fox look." The old servant cursed, "The old village master brought her back. The mystery has been hidden. At first glance, it is not a serious person. The old lady died of dystocia when she gave birth to a young lady. After that, the old village owner didn’t remarry, and he was a father and a mother and pulled the young lady up. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a pearl in the palm. Strange thing. Neither does she? Look at her appearance, where does Mrs. Xiao want the position? Bah, no? Something on the table."

Li Chaoge remembers that Sheng Lanchu said that after the old village owner brought back Xiaolian, he was actually for the purpose of making a sword, but it was rumored in the villa that it was Jinwu Cangjiao. After so many years, the old servant still had such great malice towards a deceased person. It can be seen that the rumors back then were very unpleasant.

Doesn't Li Chaoge? Want to hear these? She interrupted the old servant's chattering? Hugh yelled and asked, "What about your young lady?"

"Miss is really a perfect and wonderful person!" When she mentioned her, the attitude of the old servant changed immediately and said, "Miss was born without a mother. We grew up watching? She is gentle, generous and sensible. My own daughters are all relatives. The young lady is a good boy. When the old owner died, she was shocked. She was so thin that she didn’t look skinny. After half a year of raising her body, she slowly recovered. The young lady did not give birth to any children. Don't you know if it has anything to do with the illness that year. It's a pity that the lady is such a good person, but she didn't meet a good uncle."

It’s no longer a secret that Hong Chengyuan raises an outside house and secretly exchanges an illegitimate child. Now the city is scolding Hong Chengyuan for being polite and pitying the owner’s wife for being unfair. Li Chaoge nodded and suddenly asked, "Who was the one who discovered the death of the old village owner?"

"Miss!" said the old servant without even thinking about it. "At that time, the owner had been missing for more than half a month. This was the case when the owner was addicted to sword training. Everyone didn't take it seriously, but the lady discovered that the old owner was killed. Pitifully, she was covered with blood that day, and she couldn't stand still? It's a pity that until now, I haven't found out which enemy killed the old village owner."

Everything is in line with what Sheng Lanchu said. The old village owner hid the little lotus, and there was rumors in the villa. The old village owner wanted to make a sword, but was soaked up by the sword and died, and the little lotus fell into the lake. Later, for the sake of the reputation of the villa, Sheng Lanchu pretended to be killed by his enemies, and Xiao Lian also fell and drowned. Li Chaoge almost asked, stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me, you always take care of your health and leave."

The old servant was flattered and thankfully sent the princess out. After Li Chaoge came out of the old servant, Mo Linlang sighed: "The people in the villa were too malicious towards Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian was sold by her parents and used as a sword slave by the old owner. Now she is being scolded as a vixen. She is the real poor person if she intervenes in other people's families."

"Yes." Li Chaoge sighed, "They are all poor people."

In mid-September, the man who went to the hometown of Wu Jinyuan, the second governor, rushed back and brought letters from Wu Jinyuan and Hong Chengyuan, as well as Wu Jinyuan's death. In the previous inspection, Hao didn't even consider the possibility of being killed by a sword, so he missed the scars on Wu Jinyuan's fingers.

Wu Jinyuan's body was not without injuries, but there was a small one-inch-long wound.

Wu Jinyuan and Hong Chengyuan had close contacts, and he took advantage of his authority to open the door to Hong Chengyuan's convenience. Wu Jinyuan discovered that Hong Chengyuan's abilities were very average in his contacts, don't you? Know why? After repeated business trials, Wu Jinyuan asked casually, and it turned out that he knew the existence of Qianyuan Sword.

Wu Jin was originally fascinated by this ancient legacy sword that can bring wealth and power. In the name of sword appreciation, he moved flowers and trees to steal the real Qianyuan sword. After Wu Jinyuan got the sword, he was very happy, so the people of the government said that Wu Jinyuan's spirit was not in the past few days, and he couldn't concentrate on office work at all. Wu Jinyuan couldn't hold it back one night, and quietly took out the sword to try, but was sucked up by the sword and died.

Essence and blood are not the blood of the whole body. People are divided into three or six or nine grades, and blood is also divided into high and low. Essence and blood are the most essential part of the blood. After absorbing the essence and blood, people will run out of essence and die.

Therefore, Wu Zuo ignored the sword wound on Wu Jinyuan's hand. They were immersed in poisoning or homicide, and their thinking was crooked, and they did not pay attention to blood loss.

"It's really outrageous." Bai Qianhe snapped, "Or? It's my personal experience. I never believe that the sword can kill people. So the second assassin Wu Jin was originally killed by himself, the third Xu Xingning and Hong Cheng Yuangou bites the dog. Everyone wants to threaten the other party to surrender the Qianyuan sword. In the end, Hong Chengyuan was forced to kill Xu Xingning, and the body was hidden in the secret room. What about the first one?"

"It should be a death." Li Chaoge said, "The first governor said that it sounds good to be jealous and hateful, and that it is not good to be cynical. He was originally in poor health. What happened after coming to Luzhou? By the way, he died of depression and illness. Or? The death of his next two successors was bizarre, and Cao Yi's death would not have alarmed the court."

Bai Qianhe was amazed, and turned around and slammed Zhou Shao bitterly: "Have you heard the princess, you have to smile more, or else you are not happy every day. After spraying this and that, you will die early."

Zhou Shao fisted back and said, "Say what you said to Gu Sicheng, he doesn't laugh all day long."

"You don't know that." Bai Qianhe winked his eyebrows and secretly glanced at Li Chaoge. "People just don't laugh in front of you."

Mo Linlang was peeling the apple, Li Chaoge called her: "Linlang, don't you need to cut the apple? Give me the knife."

Mo Linlang didn't know why he wiped the knife clean and handed it to Li Chaoge: "Princess, what's the matter?"

Bai Qianhe took a look, and exhausted his life's skills to run out. Li Chao, the singer holding a knife, turned a half circle at his fingertips, and shot out suddenly.

The voice of Bai Qianhe was whistling and wowing outside. The people in the Dali Temple next door were preparing their confessions.

Chickens flying outside the window, the tall birch trees in the courtyard were alarmed by the ghost calls of Bai Qianhe, and the golden yellow leaves rustled down. Farther away, the mountains were dyed with forests, and the sky was blue as washed. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Ma Linlang slowly softened her expression.

It was late summer when they came, and in a blink of an eye, it was already autumn. Mo Linlang asked Li Chaoge: "Princess, the evidence is almost sorted out, and the confession is finished, are we going back to Beijing?"

"It's almost done." Li Chaoge closed the scroll, looked at the autumn colors of the mountains, and said softly, "With the last piece of evidence, the case can be closed."

It is also the most important evidence in this case, the lost Qianyuan Sword.

·

At night, there is no cloud, and the full moon hangs high. Sheng Lanchu came back from outside, exhausted.

Hong Chengyuan was dead, and Cangjian Villa was involved in a lawsuit that murdered the imperial order officer. Other schools took advantage of this situation and took advantage of the fire. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cangjian Villa was in dire straits during this period. Fortunately, Sheng Lan admitted his mistakes in a timely manner and had a good attitude. No matter what the Dali Temple and the Town Demon Division requested, they were very cooperative. The murderer of the third jailer stopped at Hong Chengyuan and did not involve the family.

But obviously, there is no need for the Tibetan Sword Villa to peel off the skin. Sheng Lanchu has been busy during this time? It can be said that she is exhausted. Sheng Lanchu finally returned to the room after finishing her work. She sent the maid down and went into the inner room to change clothes. She took off her coat and said slowly: "If someone else visits her concubine at night, the concubine must ask for advice. But the princess comes late at night, is it for money or sex?"

"Madam is worrying too much." Outside the screen, a tall and slim figure gradually approached. There was no light in the house, but the moonlight illuminated the ground like water and the sky was clear. Li Chaoge stopped outside the screen and said, "I have some problems, I want to ask Mrs. to help."

"The princess and Master Gu have picked up all the old things from the years. Where can I help the concubine? The top two?" Sheng Lanchu casually put on a large-sleeved shirt. The outer shirt is silk, thin and thin. On Sheng Lanchu's body, she could clearly see her suet-like skin.

Sheng Lanchu came out and poured tea to Li Chaoge by the moonlight, and said softly: "I don't know the princess is here, and there is no tea ready, only the cold soup of Chen tea that the concubine drank, and the princess is wronged."

Li Chaoge stood there, without any intention of picking up the tea, and said, "Mrs. Xie is kind, but I never touch unintelligible food. Madam must be tossed. There have been many murders during this period, but the wife did not. You want to cry out injustice?"

"What's wrong with my concubine?" Sheng Lanchu laughed, "Among the three dead assassins, only the third was murder. The concubine's husband and son-in-law had committed suicide in fear of crime, paying for his life. Although the death of the second assassin was related to the Tibetan sword The villa has something to do with it, but he steals the sword from the Hidden Sword Villa in front of him, and was accidentally bitten back by the fierce sword, so it can’t be blamed on our villa. Could it be that the princess, like the other officials, lost two custodians in a row and became angry. Want to anger at the Hidden Sword Villa?"

Li Chaoge chuckled lightly and said, "The three provincial governors have been investigated and there is nothing left to ask. I came today to appeal for the case of the old village owner 18 years ago."

Sheng Lanchu smiled unchanged, and asked: "Oh? Xiaolian killed my father back then, which is considered a murderer, but my father took his life first. It's really hard to tell who is who is right. But the two of them have died together, and the two families are also dead. It’s meaningless to start a new life each, and keep pursuing it. Why not let the deceased rest in peace and the living will move forward. Princess, what do you think?"

"How am I? Say it doesn't matter, don't pursue it, you have to? Look at you." Li Chaoge smiled? Looking at her, the light in his eyes was shining and cold, "You said so, Xiao Lian."
