Ye Fuxun saw Li Ruoxue running out in a panic, showing a satisfied smile, guessing that Li Ruoxue would have trouble sleeping tonight.
Li Ruoxue's reaction confirmed her guess. Even if Xu Ziyan was not killed by her, she was still related to her. Finally, she had a clue. All she had to do next was to find a way to prevent Li Ruoxue from inciting himself.
"Come here, I want to see King Chen!"
Bai Yuxian has been busy investigating Xu Ziyan's murder case for the past two days. Due to his identity, he could not pursue it openly, so he had to do it secretly.
In the name of the Minister of Dali Temple, he interrogated everyone in Zuifeng Tower, but found no useful information.
Then they interrogated Li Ruoxue and several people who dined with her and Xu Ziyan at Zui Feng Building that day one by one, and all they got were unfavorable testimony against Ye Fulun.
Two days have passed and there has been no progress.
Bai Yuxian suddenly remembered that there must be a problem with Na and the clerk, so he started with the clerk and sent someone to secretly investigate the clerk's background. He learned that the clerk was from Jingshan County, not far from the capital. He had an old mother, a widowed sister, and
Two nephews.
Because the family was very poor, the boy went out to work at a young age and rarely went home, while the family lived in the countryside.
However, just a few days ago, a family of four suddenly disappeared overnight. No one in the village has seen them again and does not know their whereabouts.
Bai Yuxian guessed that the person behind the incident took away the man's family to threaten him and order him to give a false confession to frame Ye Fuxun.
So they sent people to secretly trace the whereabouts of this family, and used all their strength. After a day of tracing, they finally found their whereabouts. After the four people were kidnapped, they were imprisoned in a mountain stronghold nearby.
Bai Yuxian led dozens of his men to the cottage late at night, rescued the people, and immediately rushed back to the capital. With the man's family in hand, he no longer had to worry about him not telling the truth.
Just when Bai Yuxian thought he could finally clear Ye Fuxun's name, news came from Dali Temple that the waiter had been poisoned. The poison was in the food. The yamen was negligent for a while and did not notice it. He only discovered it when the waiter was poisoned. However,
It's too late.
"You can't even look down upon a person, what do you do for a living?" Bai Yuxian was furious and scolded the Dali Temple minister so loudly that he didn't dare to say a word.
"This lowly official is incompetent and neglects guarding. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
Bai Yuxian's anger was all over the place. Once the man died, the investigation over the past few days was in vain. The clues were cut off and everything started all over again.
The Minister of Dali Temple secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, not knowing what to do. At this time, the official from outside came in to report and said a few words. As if he had been pardoned, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, just now there is a message from the prison.
She said the princess wanted to see you."
Bai Yuxian then suppressed his anger and walked out.
After coming out of the prison, Li Ruoxue's words kept echoing in her mind, and she felt uncomfortable all over. She couldn't even eat that night, and she couldn't close her eyes late at night. She huddled in the bed with her eyes open.
eyes until dawn.
This lasted for several days, and she felt like she was completely broken down. Her family invited doctors to see her, but they couldn't find any problem. They said it was just a heart disease and she needed heart medicine.
On Xu Ziyan's seventh day, Li Ruoxue actually saw a female ghost wearing white clothes and long hair outside the window of her room. She looked exactly like Xu Ziyan. She was so frightened that she screamed all night long, and the entire Li Mansion was disturbed.
There is no peace.
Li Ruoxue kept chanting "female ghost, female ghost" all day long. Her family thought she was possessed by an evil spirit and planned to hire a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirit another day.
That night, Li Ruoxue huddled in a corner of the bed and shivered. Two maids were guarding her in the room, but she was still very scared. Occasionally the maid moved and made a small sound, which could scare her half to death.
At midnight, Li Ruoxue knew that the female ghost in white was coming again, so she mustered up the courage to raise her eyelids and glance around. Unexpectedly, she suddenly heard two "pop" sounds, and the two maids fell to the ground, unconscious.
The lights in the room went out in an instant, the wind blew loudly outside, and with a clang, the window was blown open. A snow-white shadow floated in and rushed towards this side.
"Ah..." Li Ruoxue screamed, forgetting to hide in the bed, staring at the female ghost floating over like the wind with wide eyes. She saw her hair disheveled, her teeth bared, her expression ferocious, and there was a blood mark on her wrist.
, there seems to be blood flowing.
"Ziyan, don't come to me again, please, don't pester me anymore, I beg you..." Li Ruoxue knelt on the bed and kowtowed crazily, her voice hoarse and trembling.
She didn't dare to stop kowtowing, and only heard a cold voice above her head asking:
"Why? Why do you want to kill me? I regard you as the best sister, but you kill me cruelly, you vicious woman, I will not let you go! I will take you to the underworld with me!
"
"No, I didn't mean it." Li Ruoxue cried and said, "I didn't mean to kill you, and I have no choice. If I don't kill you, the person who will die will be me. In order to protect myself, I can only
Do this.
Ziyan, I promise you that from today on, I will give you three sticks of incense every day, and I will repent for what I have done for the rest of my life. Please don’t kill me, please let me go!”
The female ghost sneered and said: "Let you go? Then you will continue to harm others? You killed me yourself, but you still framed others. You have no regrets at all. I will take you back to the underworld and let the Lord of Hell come.
Teach you a lesson."
"No, no, I don't want to go to the underworld, and I don't want to see the King of Hell," Li Ruoxue hurriedly expressed her repentance, "I, I will go to Dali Temple tomorrow... I really know that I was wrong, please stop pestering me...
…”
"What to do in Dali Temple?"
"I'm going to Dali Temple..." Halfway through her words, Li Ruoxue suddenly realized that the voice she had just heard was no longer ethereal and cold, and it sounded very familiar.
She suddenly looked up, and what she saw was Yu Siling's half-smiling face, and a large group of other people walked in, all staring at her with cold eyes.
And the so-called female ghost, now down to earth, standing next to Yu Siling, turned out to be a maid with high Qinggong skills in disguise.
"Li Ruoxue, you really made me suffer. I was framed by you for no reason and spent several days in jail in vain." Ye Fuxun said with a smile.
No matter how stupid Li Ruoxue was, she now knew what was going on. She stared at the people who were watching the joke in shock and anger, and could not make a sound for a long time.
Bai Yuxian looked at the Minister of Dali Temple and said coldly: "Master Luo, did you hear what Li Ruoxue said just now? Now the truth is out. The person who killed Xu Ziyan is here. What should I do? I don't need to teach you."
