Chapter 118 The Case of Qixiang 16
Lan Bo rode on Lu Jiu's horse and hurried back to the palace to distribute incense.

Qi Yun stuffed Qingyu's used small pot of incense into his arms through a white handkerchief, mounted his horse, and prepared to walk with Yan Mo to Fangfu.

"Yan'er!" Qi Ming grabbed Yan Mo, who was about to fly away, and said, "I'll walk with you!"

"Xiao Wang is going too!" Xing Wang raised his hand and said!

"It's enough for Mr. Qi and I to go!" Yan Mo said seriously, "Stay here and pay close attention to the news from all parties!"

"The male servant may also return to Fangfu!" The prince said nervously, "I don't worry about it!"

"You've been busy for a day, so take the carriage." Qi Ming pulled Yan Mo into the carriage, "When we arrive at Fangfu, we will stay in the carriage and wait for you outside. There are still guards around Fangfu, just in time Gather some news!"

Yan Mo had no time to get out of the carriage, because the crown prince and King Xing blocked her way, so she had no choice but to get into the carriage obediently
Lu Jiu drove the carriage all the way to Fangfu, and Qi Yun followed him on horseback!
After arriving at Fang Mansion, Qi Yun and Yan Mo moved swiftly and went into the mansion for investigation. The three brothers stayed in the car obediently. Lu Jiu blew his whistle and gathered the guards to collect the news
Four officials stood guard in front of Fangfu's gate, they all recognized Yan Mo, so they let him go, Yan Mo and Qi Yun went straight to the kitchen.

When he came to the back kitchen, Yan Mo opened all kinds of bottles and jars and sniffed them closely. After searching, he finally found peanut sesame oil.

Yan Mo: "Mr. Qi, take out the small pot of incense, smell it, is it this fragrance?"

Qi Yun did as he did, took out a small jar of incense and smelled it, then smelled the peanut sesame oil, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah!! It really smells like this oil!! What is this?" He dipped his finger in the sesame oil and licked it , back to the taste, "Peanut oil?"

"That's right!" Yan Mo sealed the lid of the oil tank, took it and walked outside, "Qingyu died of peanut allergy!"

"I don't understand." Qi Yun frowned, "If Qingyu is allergic to peanut oil, shouldn't she have fallen ill early?"

Yan Mo: "Mr. Qi, Qingyu has always been responsible for the purchase of ingredients in the mansion. I learned from Mr. Fang that this is a newly purchased sesame oil, which means that Qingyu probably knows that she can't eat it, so she hasn't bought it all the time. Peanut oil! So, everyone naturally doesn’t know that Qingyu is allergic to it!”

Qi Yun: "Then how did this jar of sesame oil come from?"

Yan Mo: "You have to ask the housekeeper of Fangfu!"

The two walked out of the kitchen and came to the study. Yan Mo picked up the candle, opened the secret room, and went in to examine it carefully.
Qi Yun followed closely behind: "Master, where is this? Uh! What a bloody smell!" After speaking, he realized, "Could it be the murderer?"

"That's right, this should be the place where the murderer smashed the girl." Yan Mo said while watching.

Qi Yun saw all kinds of books, and checked the titles: "They are all classics related to incense." He looked to the side and found that many wooden boxes were empty. He sniffed them closely, "The master! These are all The wooden box for storing spices, the incense inside is gone.”

"The servant should have taken it away." Yan Mo looked around. Except for the bloodstains, everything in the secret room was neatly placed. She flipped through it carefully, and finally found a dark box behind a pile of books. , opened it and saw that there were three grooves inside, which were empty, and there was some residual white powder in the corner. She carefully sniffed it, and the scent was very similar to the requiem incense in Mr. Fang's bedroom.
Qi Yun leaned over: "This is."

"The box containing the ecstasy incense." Yan Mo replied, "Bring those empty boxes!"

"Yes!" Qi Yun took five or six small empty boxes, put them into his arms, and walked out of the secret room with Yan Mo, and walked towards the gate of Fangfu
The two passed by the corridor of the Fangfu courtyard. Under the moonlight, the mountains and rocks in the courtyard are stacked, and the small bridge is flowing with water.
A focus!Yan Mo found the figure hiding behind the rockery!She grows taller!Kankan came to the front of the figure! !
"Ah!" Xiang Ling didn't expect the other party to be so fast, and was taken aback! !

Yan Mo: "Mrs. Fangfu?"

Qi Yun, who was hiding behind the pillar, saw that he was not an enemy, so he quickly followed.

"Xiang Ling has met the girl." Madam Xiang Ling lowered her head to cover her face and saluted.

"Your face..." Yan Mo still noticed the bruise on the other person's face, "What happened?"

Xiang Ling lowered her eyes and began to sob.
Yan Mo and Qi Yun looked at each other, their eyes seemed to say, Mr. Qi, quickly think of a way to comfort him!
Receiving the gaze, Qi Yun took a step forward in embarrassment, and was about to speak.
"Girl, Liulang, how is he? Has his poison been cured?" Xiang Ling asked.

"Uh," Yan Mo said, "Actually, the small pot of incense is not poisonous. Mr. Fang's is the ecstasy incense, and he is still in a coma."

"What?!" Xiang Ling said in horror, "Didn't Qing Yu die from poison?"

Yan Mo: "I lied to you, Qingyu died of peanut allergy, and the small bottle of incense she used contained peanut sesame oil."

Xiang Ling was unsteady and fell on the rockery: "Peanut sesame oil. How could that be?"

Yan Mo: "The five small pots of incense are basically the same, but Qingyu's small pot of incense contains peanut oil, someone must have tampered with it."

"How could this be? Qingyu would die from peanut sesame oil." Xiang Ling shook his head and sobbed, "Liulang was originally a kind-hearted person. Qingyu's disappearance must be a big blow to him. He, him."

Yan Mo: "These bruises were done by Mr. Fang"

When Xiang Ling heard this, she cried even harder!

"Don't cry first." Yan Mo questioned, "When did this happen?"

".This afternoon." Xiang Ling replied, "The other wives were also injured. Liu Lang said that we are monsters. We must be punished! Wuwuwu Qingyu is Qingyu seeking revenge from us!" She burst into tears and covered her face Regret!

"Us?" Yan Mo and Qi Yun looked at each other silently.
Xiang Ling raised Li Hua's rainy eyes, looked at Yan Mo, hesitant to speak
In the side courtyard of the Fang Mansion, the other three wives stayed in the room and did not dare to make a sound. There was constant turmoil in the mansion, and they could only hide here to protect themselves after losing the protection of Mr. Fang.Meng Zhener and Lu Yingying only had disheveled hair and few scars on their faces, the most serious one was Si Xiaodi, her face was swollen and red, and her delicate facial features were slightly deformed.
Under Xiang Ling's leadership, Yan Mo and Qi Yun stepped into the courtyard and looked around.Entering the room, Yan Mo first saw Si Xiaodi lying on the bed unconsciously.
"Mr. Qi!" Yan Mo hurriedly called Qi Yun to give Si Xiaodian a pulse.

Qi Yun: "Well, the head of the family, her subordinates are not good at medicine, just judging from the pulse condition, she has nothing wrong with her. It's just that the injury on her face is more serious."

"Liulang, Liulang! Don't hit me! Liulang. It's me! I'm not a monster. Liulang" Si Xiaodi kept raving
Yan Mo: "The body is fine, but the mind is not clear. Could it be that he has been intoxicated by the ecstasy?"

Qi Yun asked Xiang Ling: "Why did Mr. Fang beat you? Where did he do it to you?"

"Mr. Qi!" Seeing Xiang Ling's trembling shoulders, Yan Mo stopped Qi Yun and said, "They must have lingering fears, let me do it."

Qi Yun looked at the other wives, thought that he was a man, so he dodged and walked out of the house, leaving it to Yan Mo to deal with.
Xiang Ling knew what Yan Mo wanted to ask, and said, "Liu Lang never beats people. This afternoon, when we went to find Liu Lang, he seemed to be a different person. He beat whoever he caught. Xiao Dian was the closest to him. , get beaten. At most."

Yan Mo said: "Is there incense burning in the room?"

Xiang Ling nodded.

Yan Mo walked up to Meng Zhen'er and Lu Yingying and asked, "Can I go?"

They nodded blankly.

Yan Mo walked to the bed, helped Si Xiaodian up, and led the others out, Qi Yun silently followed.
Outside the Fang residence, Qi Ming and the prince finally saw Yan Mo come out, and they went forward to meet him.

Yan Mo walked out of the mansion, and then asked: "Madam Xiang Ling, Mr. Fang's personal servant, what are the characteristics?"

"Man servant?" Xiang Ling was slightly surprised, and recalled, "Liu Lang also hit him, and he also had bruises on his face. He is not tall but has a strong body."

"Send it to the clinic for proper treatment." Yan Mo put Si Xiaodian into the hands of a guard and said.

"Yes." Three or two guards left with a few wives first.

"How many people are necessary to stay, and the rest will follow the king." Qi Ming ordered to the leading guard.

"Yes!"

Yan Mo got on the chariot, Qi Yun mounted the horse, except for the four guards left behind, the other ten guards all followed Yi'an King's chariot.

The sky began to brighten, and in the vegetable market in the east of the city, the vegetable merchants began to work one after another, and there were gradually more people of all kinds in the market.
The guards surrounded the vegetable market. They were hiding in the trees, on the small roof, or in the grass
The crown prince, Qi Ming and King Xing hid in the carriage parked far away because they were all dressed in fancy clothes.

Xiao Ren came out from a dark corner, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my subordinates have been guarding all night, so far, there has been no change."

Qi Ming nodded and said, "Xiao Ren, protect the princess."

Xiao Ren: "Yes!"

"Time is running out, and my subordinates only allocated five copies." Lan Bo said and began to distribute sachets to the guards, "If the other party uses incense, it is best to avoid it as soon as possible!"

Yan Mo and Xiao Ren took the last two sachets.

"Yan'er, be careful in everything!" Qi Ming urged, "Don't be aggressive."

Yan Mo nodded, and turned to the vegetable market with Qi Yun and three or four guards. Xiao Ren jumped into the air and followed secretly!
King Xing: "Second Brother, can we just stay in the car?"

"The more people there are, the easier it is to be suspicious." Qi Ming reassured, "Don't worry, brother, although the other party has the ecstasy incense in his hand, he doesn't know martial arts. With her skills, nothing will happen, not to mention the guards."

Prince: "But, she has been sleepless all day and all night."

Qi Ming: "If we can't catch the murderer, she won't be able to sleep. Let's wait in peace."

Before entering the vegetable market, Yan Mo warned Qi Yun: "Ecstasy incense can make people obey, maybe he will pretend to be the father of the girl, as long as the person with the girl or the person with a wound on the face should pay attention to it." !"

"Don't worry, the master, the subordinates understand!" Qi Yun entered the noisy market alone, pretending to be carrying fresh vegetables, observing the people coming and going
Yan Mo: "You are responsible for guarding the gate, don't make any noise."

After the several guards bowed their hands and nodded, they scattered and hid in the shadows.

Yan Mofei hid on the roof, overlooking the vegetable market.

Qi Yun walked around the market, and whenever he saw a suspicious person, he would go forward, either overturning fruits and vegetables or bargaining with the vegetable merchants. At the same time, he observed the children's reactions, but found no trace of Mihunxiang.

At this time, in the corner of the market, a short, strong man carrying a package was peeking at him, looking for his next target.The male servant tried his best to avoid the eyes of others, with his chest folded and his head bowed, peeking at the people in the market, especially the children who were secretly hiding and playing under the stalls. The vegetable merchants drove them away, and they ran to another stall with a smile on their faces. start playing.
A naughty boy rushed out of the booth and accidentally bumped into the footman, who looked up and grinned and ran away!The other children felt that the boy was simple and honest, so they followed the example of the boy and rushed to the boy and circled around him!

Yan Mo kept moving her eyes to observe. When she saw the children's pranks, she didn't pay much attention to it. But the package caught her attention. People who came to the market to buy vegetables would use baskets and carry packages to come. This is rare!With the help of light kung fu, she crossed into the market without a sound, and landed not far from the male servant. Now she could see clearly that the male servant had scars on his face!

Seeing that he couldn't play with the children, the servant sprinkled a handful of incense powder! !The children suddenly didn't move, standing stupidly like wooden figures!

Yan Mo took a step back alertly, covering his mouth and nose, and when the smoke cleared, the servant disappeared!
"Big Master!" Qi Yun noticed Xiangfen, and quickly surrounded him, "Here!! Here!! Catch him!!"

Xiao Ren jumped out of the air!Get ready to catch the valet! !
Because of Qi Yun's shouts and the attack of the guards in the market, everyone panicked and fled out one after another! !
Xiao Ren was hit by someone!Missed the valet! !

The male servant felt that someone was going to grab him, so he fled while spreading the ecstasy incense! !
Outside the market, the guards stopped the fleeing civilians and prepared to interrogate them, but because there were too many people, they couldn't stop them, and the crowd scattered! !
The market was suddenly surrounded by fog, and the field of vision was limited! !Some fell to the ground in response, while others stood there like wooden figures.
Qi Yun doesn't know martial arts, he didn't receive a defensive sachet, and he stood still like a wooden man when he was fragrant
Yan Mo came to Xiao Ren's side: "He is probably hiding among these people!"

Xiao Ren squinted his eyes to observe, but he really couldn't see clearly. He jumped over and used his own rotation to create a gust of wind! !Blow the smoke away! !
Yan Mo noticed the strange movement not far away, so he jumped up! !Take a closer look, it's the old man who can't stand!She helped the old man and continued to observe
Outside the market, seeing that the momentum was wrong, the prince got off the carriage and prepared to enter it!
"Brother, don't do it!!" Qi Ming stopped the prince, "Uncle Lan, take care of them, I will come back as soon as I go!!"

"Brother Ming!" The prince wanted to follow, but Lan Bo stopped him.

Lan Bo: "His Royal Highness, leave it to the prince."

Qi Ming moved quickly, stopped the suspicious person and identified it, and let him go when he found that it was not a manservant.

In the market, Xiao Ren and Yan Mo cooperated to find the target, and the three guards guarded the three exits respectively.

The servant pushed down a few "wooden men" to block Yan Mo and Xiao Ren, and rushed out! !
Yan Mo quickly climbed up! !But they found that the market was even more chaotic, and there were fleeing people everywhere! !I can't tell the figure of the servant at all! !
The guards caught one man after another and examined them, but none of them saw any wounds on their faces.
King Xing stayed in the car, he was ready to move when he saw such a scene, he spotted the servant with sharp eyes, and when everyone was unprepared, he jumped over him!Fly into the crowd! !

"Where are you going!!"

"Brother Lin!!" The prince took a long leg and quickly followed! !

Unexpectedly, there was another burst of ecstasy incense in the crowd! !The prince hugged King Xing to block the incense powder, and pulled his younger brother away from the crowd! !
thump!thump! !thump! ! !
In the dark corner of the sea of ​​consciousness, Qi Zheng grinned!Taking advantage of the effect of the ecstasy incense to occupy Qijin's body! !
"Brother Prince?!" King Xing hurriedly supported the unstable prince! !
Qi Zheng pressed his head and opened his eyes, and woke up outside the palace, he was very fresh, looking around
King Xing: "Brother Prince, are you alright?"

Brother Prince, Qizheng searched the memories in his mind, and finally matched the face of the person in front of him with a more immature face!
"Brother Nine Emperors, I'm fine." Qi Zheng put on a good posture and said, "What happened?"

"You have been poisoned by the ecstasy incense!" King Xing said worriedly!

"I'm asking, this." Qi Zheng pointed to the rioting crowd and said, "What's going on?"

King Xing looked at the crowd, and replied suspiciously: "We came to the vegetable market to catch the murderer, which caused a commotion among the people, Brother Prince, you"

"Your Highness—" Lu Jiu and Lan Bo chased after him in a carriage!

Lan Bo: "Your Highness, hurry back to the car!"

Qi Zheng stared at the stranger for a long time, his eyes full of scrutiny and curiosity.
"Brother Prince?" King Xing felt that the other party must be Zhongxiang, "Brother Prince, go back to the car?" He recalled Aoki Hui Zhongxiang, and tried to order.

Qi Zheng turned his head, looked at King Xing curiously for a while, then nodded and got on the carriage.
After King Xing got into the car, Lu Jiu hurriedly drove away from the chaotic scene and parked far away.

Bang!Yan Mo found the servant based on the ecstasy incense!She blasted out a blow of internal force!Hit the dirt! !The burst of air hit the manservant, causing him to fall to pieces! !

Hearing the noise, Qi Zheng lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. He only saw thick trees and tall grass, and missed Yan Mo's figure.
After Yan Mo grabbed the servant, the crowd subsided, and Qi Ming landed next to Yan Mo, searching for the servant's package!

The guards followed Yan Mo and surrounded him, tied up the servants and escorted him to Jingzhao Mansion!
"Yan'er, are you alright?" Qi Ming asked Yan Mo as he looked up and down.

"The defensive sachet is really effective! I'm fine!" Yan Mo affirmed holding the sachet.

"Princess!" Xiao Ren hurried down!
Qi Ming: "The servant has already caught him, return him to his place."

"Yes!" Xiao Ren's figure was unknown, and he flashed, hiding in tall trees and grass!
"It's rare that you didn't attack him." Qi Ming looked at Yan Mo and said.

Yan Mo looked at the direction where the male servant disappeared, clenched his fists, and said in silence for a while: "You will be punished by the king!"

Qi Ming finally showed his long-lost smile: "Let's go."

Qi Zheng watched the guards escort the male servant away, he raised the corners of his lips, he was very happy, and thought in his heart, the ecstasy incense can actually make me break away from the shackles of consciousness, this thing must be useful!He rolled his eyes and looked into the distance.
The figure in red broke through the fog, and his consciousness was divided into two paths.Memories and dreams are piled up, alternately pitiful and dry.

Seeing Yan Mo's Qi Zheng, his head was dizzy and swollen!The scenery in front of me was twisted and fluttered! !It seems that there are thousands of ropes hooking him and pulling him back! !
"Ah!" Qi Zheng pressed his head and resisted desperately, "No, I'm just now! No!!"

"Brother Prince!!" King Xing said nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

thump!thump! !thump! ! !
In the sea of ​​consciousness, Qi Jin grabbed the rope and pulled back! !A burst of white light emerged! !Swallow him up in an instant! !
"Brother Prince!! Brother Prince!!" King Xing shook the prince and called out!

Prince Qijin slowly opened his eyes, and his vision slowly recovered. He looked around and remembered that he had been intoxicated by the enchanting incense just now.
"Ah, what's the matter, Bengong?" The prince pressed his head and asked in doubt.
