BXBX NOVEL Chapter 36: fine dog
Shen Mingjiao took out the book, looked at the words on it, and seemed to feel more familiar than yesterday, and she had faintly noticed something strange in her heart at this moment.
Pass the book to Feng Lisheng and ask him to keep it for him.
Feng Lisheng flipped through it casually, frowned and said: "What are you looking at, the words don't convey the meaning!"
Shen Mingjiao paused, "Take a closer look, do you have any special feeling?"
Feng Lisheng looked carefully again. Then he shook his head, indicating that he didn't see anything.
Shen Mingjiao became even more puzzled, could it be her illusion last night, but her intuition was not. Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't bother anymore.
turned to ask: "By the way, how is the case investigation going?"
While speaking, the two had already left the yard.
Feng Lisheng said: "At present, Mrs. Lian is the most suspected."
"Then what is her motive for killing?"
"I have sent people to check Mrs. Lian's family details carefully. His father used to be a clerk in Fang's rice store, but was accidentally beaten to death by the steward. In the end, the Fang family only paid a little money."
Shen Mingjiao frowned, she didn't think Mrs. Lian was a person who would do so much to avenge her family.
"I think Mrs. Lian's suspicion is indeed the biggest at present, but his motive for committing the crime should not be revenge."
At this point, the two stopped in unison. If so, the suspect's motive for the murder they reasoned before would be overturned.
Feng Lisheng waved his hand: "We have to wait until the person is caught first."
Shen Mingjiao said "Oh", "The sooner you catch the murderer, the sooner you go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Lisheng leaned over suddenly, and the cloth on his chest brushed against the tip of her nose. The cool breath envelops her,
Shen Mingjiao tilted her head uncomfortably, "What are you doing!"
Feng Lisheng raised his hand to take a leaf from her hair.
Shen Mingjiao didn't care, and smoothed her hair casually.
Not far away, there was a pair of eyes staring at the two of them.
…
Feng Lisheng left the Zhao Mansion and returned to the rented house.
Feng Wu hurried over, "Your Highness, that flower farmer is dead!"
Feng Lisheng frowned: "What's going on?"
Since they felt that Mrs. Lian was suspicious, they checked everything about Mrs. Lian, including the servants who had come into contact with her.
From the words and phrases of those servants, it can be said that Mrs. Lian is very good at raising fine dogs, or it can be said that she is very good at controlling animals.
A flower farmer saw with his own eyes that Madam Lian controlled a small dog and bit the throat of a servant girl. The flower farmer quietly quit his job because he was too scared.
Feng Wu's face was a bit ugly: "Someone poisoned the food."
"Can you catch who did it?"
Feng Wu shook his head: "The food is made in a unified way in the kitchen, and the boy who delivered the food said that he accidentally fell down on the road."
Feng Lisheng frowned in thought: "We'll wait until the suspect Cailian is taken into custody first."
Feng Wu hesitated and said: "But now the only witness, Hua Nong, is dead. The other physical evidence is not sufficient at all. How can we arrest him?"
If there is no strong evidence, even if Feng Lisheng is the prince, he can't arrest people casually.
It has been verified before that after the incident of the three families that were exterminated, the dozen or so dogs that Mrs. Lian gave were also missing.
After careful investigation, it was found that there were uncovered fine dog footprints at the scene of the crime.
And according to the descriptions of nearby neighbors, the barking of dogs on the night of the incident was indeed more intense than usual.
But based on these alone, there is no way to prove that Mrs. Lian is the murderer.
Feng Lisheng raised his eyebrows: "Since there is no evidence, then force her to give evidence."
Feng Wu understood what he meant in an instant, thought for a while and said: "The subordinates have someone try to lure Mrs. Lian to the yard where the dog is locked up, and then stimulate her with words, telling her that she is the murderer of the Miemen case, and incite her to kill her." Heart.
When she does something, the subordinates will lead someone to capture her. "
Feng Lisheng nodded: "Be careful with her eyes."
Feng Wu waved his hand with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, her ability looks mysterious. However, according to the analysis of my subordinates, people with firm will will not be affected."
Feng Lisheng nodded lightly, thinking of something, he reminded: "Don't let the princess get involved."
"Your Highness, don't worry, the courtyard where the dog is locked is in the remotest part of the Zhao Mansion, far away from the main courtyard where the princess is?"
…
Shen Mingjiao wanted to ask Mrs. Zhao about the book. But all morning, Mrs. Zhao was lying on the bed half asleep with a sad expression, so she didn't have the nerve to disturb her.
After lunch, Xiaodie came over mysteriously:
"Sister Gillian, when I went to pick up the meal just now, I heard from Aunt Wang in the kitchen that the girl from Yunshu is back!"
Shen Mingjiao stopped pruning the flower branches.
Earlier, she felt that the matter of that Yunshu girl was weird, so she asked Feng Lisheng to send someone to Jiangnan to inquire. But she continued to stay in the Zhao residence, waiting for the person who inquired about the news to come back.
After all, the situation of that girl Yun Shu is very suitable for her sister.
But now that girl from Yunshu reappeared, and at this juncture...
She couldn't help asking: "Then where is she now, my lord didn't say anything!"
Regarding Zhao Ke's grudge against Mrs. Zhao, and knowing that Miss Yunshu ran away when he was in distress, it stands to reason that he would never bring her back again.
Xiao Die said: "I heard that Mr. Zhao lost his temper, so he sent him back to her former yard and told him not to allow anyone to approach her."
"According to Aunt Wang and the others, my lord is still looking at his friend's face, so he didn't kick him out directly."
…
Shen Mingjiao went out of the yard, came to a secluded place, pulled out a loud arrow and threw it into the air, after a while, no one came over.
Thinking of Feng Lisheng's plan to arrest Mrs. Lian today, Shen Mingjiao just assumed that everyone had been transferred away. After all, even Mrs. Li has such abilities, so it is indeed difficult to deal with her.
And the fact is indeed the case, at this time Feng Wu led the crowd to follow Mrs. Lian.
The maid named Xiaorui volunteered to act as a bait, leading Mrs. Lian to the yard where the dog was kept.
Shen Mingjiao planned to return to Mrs. Zhao's yard.
But it suddenly came to mind that year when my sister pursed her lips in order to protect her despite being very scared. He straightened his thin back and drew away the figure of the bandit. Shen Mingjiao uncontrollably went to the courtyard where Miss Yunshu lived.
She knew that girl Yun Shu was weird, but she was there. She always felt that what if it was really her sister!
Turning left and right all the way, the road became more and more remote, but she walked very smoothly, which shows that she has been here many times before.
From a distance, I saw that the closed door was ajar. Her heart lifted. Step by step hesitantly stepped into the yard.
Just... the moment she stepped into the courtyard. She had a heart attack for no reason, and instinctively felt the danger.
Subconsciously raised his foot to rush out, but heard a creak, and the old wooden door slammed shut.
Shen Mingjiao turned her head, and when she saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw a dozen small dogs with dark fur standing silently in the courtyard, staring at her with abnormally red eyes.
Shen Ming stepped back delicately, subconsciously touched his waist and pulled out a loud arrow.
Just as he raised his hand, a shrill voice came from his ear:
"Stop her!"
After saying that, a small dog closest to her suddenly sprang up, swiftly pounced on her arm holding the arrow, and bit the arrow in her hand with its sharp teeth. The sticky mouth brushed against her palm.
Shen Mingjiao felt a chill down her spine for a moment, her body froze and she dared not move.
Looking at the thin, slender, vigorous and powerful dogs in front of him, he unconsciously thought of the extermination case in Luodu City, and those people whose throats were bitten out.
The fine dog was originally a hunting dog. Because of its strong memory, keen sense of smell, long hind legs, muscular development and strength, it is good at hunting and has amazing explosive power. It was adopted by some noble children.
She squeezed her palm hard, trying to calm down, and looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw Mrs. Lian standing quietly not far behind her. And at her feet, the maid named Xiaorui was bound hands and feet, whining at her.
Madam Lian kicked the person away, looked up at Shen Mingjiao, and smiled lightly, "Should I call you Lady Feng, or Princess Su?"
Shen Mingjiao was not at all surprised that she saw through her identity. After all, at this stall, she designed to trap herself, of course she had a plan.
Shen Mingjiao asked directly: "Tell me, your purpose?"
"Don't tell me you want to threaten Li Sheng with me!"
She sneered helplessly: "I think you should have heard that His Royal Highness King Su adores Su Qing, the daughter of Prime Minister Su, and married me because he had to. In the eyes of the prince, I am just a show in name only!"
Madam Lian sneered: "So what, no matter how nameless you are, you are still Princess Su. I think His Royal Highness Su Wang will not be unhappy to exchange my dead life for you."
Shen Mingjiao also sneered back at her: "How naive you are, you think I can compare to the 20 million taels of silver lost in the treasury of Luodu City!"
Shen Mingjiao saw that when she mentioned twenty million taels of silver, Mrs. Lian's eyes flickered.
At the gate of a small courtyard not far from here, Feng Wu led the crowd to see Mrs. Lian enter the courtyard from a distance. Two guards lurking in the dark and waiting for the opportunity flew forward. "The person is gone, there is a secret passage in the courtyard!"
Feng Wuyi was taken aback, for some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Where is the princess?"
Before the words fell, a woman's sharp voice came from a small courtyard not far away:
"Let me go, or you will be torn apart alive by my little fellows, Princess Su!"
Feng Wu's heart skipped a beat, he turned his head to look,
I saw that the opposite courtyard door opened at some time, and in the courtyard, Shen Mingjiao was surrounded by a dozen nimble and vicious dogs.
Feng Lisheng, who led Zhao Ke over, happened to see this scene.
His pupils trembled, but his tall and straight figure couldn't bear to stagger forward!
And Zhao Ke who was beside Feng Lisheng was also stunned.
"Lian... Lian Er... you... what are you doing..."
Madam Lian didn't even look at Zhao Ke, she just stared at Feng Lisheng:
"Get me a carriage, or—"
Sweeping her eyes, those fine dogs immediately opened their mouths and bit Shen Mingjiao, as if they could tear people to pieces in the next moment.
They are obviously specially trained to move very fast. Even the best archer. It is also impossible to save people in such a fast time.
Feng Lisheng saw Shen Mingjiao shaking his head desperately at him and winking, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Because she knew that Mrs. Lian would never let her go.
Feng Lisheng couldn't control these anymore, he only knew that he put Shen Mingjiao in danger again.
He said without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you. As long as you let her go, I will send you out of the city right away..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Shen Mingjiao quickly pulled out a hairpin from her head, and stabbed it fiercely into the neck of a small dog in front of her with lightning speed.
The little dog wailed, and ran out of the yard quickly, screaming.
Immediately afterwards, she rushed forward, tightly covered Mrs. Lian's eyes, and dragged her out.
Seeing this, Feng Lisheng quickly used his lightness kung fu and flew over in a few steps.
But at this critical moment, Mrs. Lian moved her finger,
More than a dozen fine dogs exploded violently, roaring and rushing towards Shen Mingjiao.
Shen Mingjiao took a step back instinctively, looking at the approaching sharp teeth, meeting those scarlet eyes.
For some reason, the redness in the eyes seemed to gradually enlarge and separate in slow motion.
Her brain seemed to have entered that strange state again, and the contents of yesterday's book seemed to come to life gradually.
She gathered her mind and looked at those blood red eyes again,
She seemed to be able to hear the shrill female voice lurking deep in the dog's mind:
"Yes... just like that... biting his throat..."
Shen Mingjiao's heart moved, she stared at those eyes tightly, and said word by word in her heart:
"Stop your movements."
The accident happened only in a split second, Feng Lisheng stared at the sharp teeth approaching Shen Mingjiao's neck with tears in his eyes.
Mrs. Lian, whose eyes were covered, laughed loudly: "Do you think that if you cover my eyes, I can't control them? Haha, I have raised the little ones for so long, even if I don't use hypnosis, as long as I move, they will ..."
Her words came to an abrupt end.
Just when the thin dog's sharp teeth were about to bite Shen Mingjiao, it stopped slowly, and then lay quietly on the ground. A pair of scarlet eyes gradually became docile.
