The atmosphere reached a deadlock. Qi Heng secretly glanced at Ming Juezi. He said that if he wanted to prove his innocence, he would draw this bow.
But Dong Qingxian is the only one who can shoot a bow, wouldn't the remaining nine people be suspected?
No, Qi Heng frowned and thought over Ming Juezi's words several times.
The real intention is actually - if you want to prove your innocence, draw this bow. Anyone who can draw the bow is the suspect!
However, Qi Heng looked at Dong Qingxian.
How could it be him?
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked again, the maid Biluo quickly walked into Han Mo Pavilion and said to Qi Hengfu: "The old lady is awake and she said she wants to see the real Ming Juezi."
"Lin Lan, is she awake?" Qi Heng's face was soothed, and his heart finally fell.
"Yes, sir, but Madam..." Biluo hesitated, "Madam, she seems to be very frightened. She is clamoring to see the Taoist priest, saying that there is something dirty in this house."
"Nonsense." Qi Heng was displeased.
"Master." Shen Yan saw this for the first time and took a step forward. "My lady may be frightened. I might as well see her. I think it will put her at ease."
"Thank you for your help, Master." Qi Heng expressed his deep gratitude and his words were very humble. "Last time, I asked Master Liu to open a forum for the matter, but this time I will be in trouble again."
"It's okay." Shen Yanchu said calmly.
"Those people." Qi Heng looked at everyone in the hall and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
"Let them go back for now. The death of General Zhonglang has nothing to do with these people."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar again. As the captain of the personal guard, Wan Hong was even more unwilling to accept it. It has nothing to do with it? How could it have nothing to do with it!
"It's obviously Chu Kun, that old fox, and you just let him go like this?"
Jiang Wenzhuo advised from the side: "I have known Mr. Chen for several years, and I don't want to see him die in peace. This matter should be discussed later."
Seeing that Wan Hong was still unwilling to give in, Qi Heng also immediately expressed his position: "Since it happened in the house, Qi will give everyone an explanation and do his best to find the murderer. As for Chu Kun, there is no evidence that he was because of the quarrel. It would be hard to convince the public if you harm the imperial officials."
"Who else could it be besides him?" Wan Hong was dissatisfied.
"Wan Hong!" Liu Ruyan shouted sharply to prevent him from speaking too openly and causing deep grudges.
She approached the man and said to him: "Xiao Dao hereby guarantees that within three days, Xiao Dao will find the real murderer for Liu Shangshu and Lord Chen."
"Why was it that even Liu Shangshu was killed? Didn't the autopsy say he hanged himself?" Everyone discussed privately.
"It's hard to say. After all, both of them hanged themselves. It's very weird."
"Could it be that there are really gangsters hiding in this house? First they killed Liu Shangshu, and then General Chen. Then..."
The thought of their lives being in danger immediately made everyone feel in danger.
"Everyone!" Qi Heng once again stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation. "It is because Qi has not thought carefully about putting everyone in danger. From now on, all the servants in Bieyuan will take turns to be on duty. As for the dredging of the mountain road, everyone can go back on their own by tomorrow night at the latest. Beijing."
"Since Mr. Qi has said so, we will stay one more day."
"It's gone, it's gone." Everyone left in all directions.
Most of the people in Hanmoxuan were gone. Qi Heng took a step forward and asked Shen Yanchu: "I would like to ask Master to follow me."
Shen Yanchu immediately looked at Liu Ruyan and saw her taking off the silver wire and carefully taking it back into her arms.
"Yan'er." Dong Qingxian hadn't left yet. Seeing the little Taoist boy about to leave, he hesitated for a moment, "I'll go with you."
"Please." She responded.
Shen Yanchu's handsome eyebrows furrowed, and he felt increasingly unhappy as he looked at the uninvited piano player.
Dong Qingxian didn't look at him, but followed Liu Ruyan out of the lobby.
After passing through Yiyuan, we soon came to Lin's small courtyard. Linlan had just woken up, and the maidservant was busy around. When she saw Qi Heng coming in from the outside, she said, "I have met the master."
Qi Heng asked them all to step aside and walked into the house one after another with the eldest maid Biluo.
Because they were men, Liu Ruyan and the others were unable to enter the house, so they waited outside the house for the time being. She secretly concentrated and listened to what was going on inside.
Although Lin Lan woke up for a while, her complexion was still not good, and her spirit was a little dazed. When she saw Qi Heng entering the room, he was leaning on the bedside.
Qi Heng walked towards the couch. There were fragments of jade on the ground. He looked at it for a moment and recognized that it was the magnolia bracelet that his wife wore when she got married. She usually kept it in the dowry as a treasure, so why did she throw it away.
He bent down, picked up the broken bracelet, and placed it in front of her bed: "I'll show it to the master of Yuzhenfang later. It should be repairable."
The moment the bracelet was put down, Lin Lan's chaotic eyes suddenly flashed with light, as if she was frightened, and she covered her face: "Don't take it over, don't take it over!"
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you?" Qi Heng was at a loss and handed the magnolia bracelet to Biluo who was waiting nearby.
Linlan put down her hand and looked at a corner of the room: "The cat is still in the yard. I saw it this morning, and there it was."
What he said was meaningless. Qi Heng frowned, helped her put on her coat, and helped her sit down at the table: "Don't be afraid, I have invited a real person for you. With him here, the Qi Mansion can take care of itself." Turn misfortune into good fortune."
"Biluo, please quickly invite the real person into the house."
The next moment, a man wearing a hat walked into the house.
Liu Ruyan walked behind him. When she lowered her head, she saw a pair of jade bracelets held in Biluo's hands. They were transparent green and carved with empty valley orchids. Unfortunately, they were broken into several pieces.
"Is the bracelet belonging to the lady?" she asked.
Biluo looked at the pair of jade bracelets in her hands and nodded.
After Liu Ruyan entered the room, she saw Mr. Lin sitting at the table, looking as if she was very frightened.
"Master." Qi Heng stood up immediately the moment Shen Yanchu appeared.
Shen Yanchu stood with his hands behind his hands and glanced at Mrs. Lin: "It seems that your lady is too frightened."
Hearing Ming Juezi's voice, Lin Lan suddenly raised her head, her eyes clear and no longer as dazed as before.
"Here it comes, she's back!"
Shen Yanchu looked at the woman: "Who is she?"
Lin Lan shook her hands and started to dodge her eyes: "I can't say it, I can't say it."
Shen Yanchu walked forward and locked eyes with him: "Why can't you say it?"
The woman subconsciously stepped back and turned her face away. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a white shadow flashing past under the bed at an incredibly fast speed. Lin Lan's face turned pale and she screamed in surprise.
Liu Ruyan also saw this white shadow, which looked like a cat.
"How come there are cats in Bieyuan?" The eldest maid Bi Luozheng was puzzled. She approached the bed, leaned down and took a look at the bottom of the bed, only to find that it was empty. She searched every corner of the room again.
"Madam, the cat may have run away." Biluo turned around and said to Mrs. Lin.
Lin Lan remained silent and stared at the bottom of the bed.
"Madam?" she called softly.
Lin Lan suddenly trembled and looked at Shen Yanchu: "It's there, it's still here, get it out quickly!"
Seeing that she was talking nonsense again, Qi Heng couldn't help but advise: "Lan'er, look, there is nothing under the bed."
"Master." Shen Yanchu finally spoke up, "Since my wife is uneasy, I will start a ritual now."
After finishing speaking, he told Liu Ruyan: "Go and get a basin of water. Remember, it must be fresh water."
Seeing that they were about to fetch water, Biluo said to Liu Ruyan: "My little fellow Taoist, please come with me."
