Chapter 840 Is Vicious (Update 5.23)

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the heavy snow falling from the sky is like a white tide, turbulent and boundless, rolling across the huge city.

Xia Zhaoyi looked out against the turbulent wind and snow, and the crowd in front of the Ning'an Building in the distance was running, more excited than when she left.

The lights spread all the way, the back alley was already bright, but now it goes straight to the deepest part.The original slender chain of lights turned into a sea of ​​lights, and all the houses were lit up.

The open space in front of Ning'an Building, all the way to the long street, is full of carriages and sedan chairs.

The neighbors all came out, everyone stood along the long street outside, and there were endless discussions.

The intersection of the back alley was on the right side before Xia Zhaoyi returned to Ning'an Building. When Xia Zhaoyi passed by, he saw a dead body being carried out.

The body was covered with a white cloth, but the shape and the faint blood color under the white cloth were clearly decapitated.

"Miss Ali!" A little steward saw Xia Zhaoyi and hurried up.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.

"A lot of things have happened since Miss Ali left," the little steward said panting, "Miss Ali, let's go upstairs and have a look first, our eldest lady is injured!"

Xia Zhaoyi frowned: "Is it serious?"

"Seriously! The lady was shot by an arrow!"

"get shot?!"

Xia Zhaoyi immediately handed over the reins to him: "I'll go and have a look."

The bright lights in the lobby were bright, and besides the wounded, there were five corpses covered in white cloth.

The corpse seen at the intersection of the back alley just now was being carried from the backyard.

Xia Zhaoyi walked upstairs quickly, many people surrounded Zhao Ning's study, and the verandah outside was full of people.

"Miss Ali!" A servant woman shouted when she saw Xia Zhaoyi approaching.

Xia Zhaoyi nodded at her, then turned to look at Zhao Ning in the study.

Zhao Ning leaned sideways on the soft couch, the arrow hit the right shoulder blade, the wound has been treated, the clothes are clean, and he is talking to Captain Qiu and Mrs. Qu.

Hearing Xia Zhaoyi's arrival, everyone in the room looked towards the door.

Zhao Ning propped himself up slightly: "Ali."

"Ali." Mrs. Qu got up and walked over.

Xia Zhao's hood was not removed, and the frost and snow that fell on her cloak melted into water beads in the warm study.

"What happened?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

Zhao Ning's voice was weak: "After you left, I followed Hongwen to Zaichuna."

"Let me tell you," Mrs. Qu said, "You are seriously injured and your voice is hoarse."

Mrs. Qu looked at Xia Zhaoyi, and tried her best to summarize the incident in concise words.

"We also prepared crossbow arrows later, and dared to go back only after we were well defended. The corpses in the courtyard were only carried out."

"Except for Mo Haizhu in the room," Zhao Ning added, "he's gone."

"Mo Haizhu," Xia Zhaoyi asked, "Have you heard of this person before?"

"Never before, Captain Qiu's people just found clothes from his house. His name is Mo Haizhu. He was originally going to Dongping Academy to study, the batch in the next spring." Zhao Ning said.

"He is the real murderer," Qiu Duwei said, "Hongwen confessed, it was this Mo Haizhu and Zaichun who ordered her to drug Yiqiu."

"This Mo Haizhu should have been rescued by those men in black," Mrs. Qu said.

"Did you bring back the crossbow arrows from the scene?" Xia Zhaoyi said, "I want to meet you."

Qiu Duwei turned his head and ordered his men to go down to fetch it.

Zhao Ning stretched his body up even more: "Ali, change your clothes, don't get sick."

"I'm fine," Xia Zhaoyi said, looked around, and asked again, "Where's the doctor?"

Zhao Ning guessed who she was referring to, but still wanted to confirm: "The one who did acupuncture for Yiqiu?"

"Ah."

"The temperament is too weird. When he bandaged someone's wound just now, he said that he was stained with other people's blood and broke the precept, so he locked himself on the third floor of the second building and refused to come down no matter who called him."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

I have to say that Zhao Ning can really speak.

The crossbow arrows were quickly fetched, Xia Zhaoyi received them, and as expected, the arrows had exactly the same pattern of patterns.

These crossbow arrows can only be made with the same batch of molds in order to match the special double crossbow machine, and the arrow patterns on them will not change.

"Ali," Mrs. Qu asked with concern, "How was the situation after you went there?"

"Small gains," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I'll go to the doctor first, and he'll be here soon."

"Okay." Zhao Ning said.

The lights on the second floor are also fully lit, and the lanterns under the eaves are connected one by one, forming a long chain of brilliance.

Because of the reasons Shen knew here, Zhao Ning sent more people, but he didn't want to be too deliberate, they just stayed in the dark.

Xia Zhaoyi walked through the courtyard, and when he passed the courtyard, he saw Hongwen kneeling on the snow.

The servants who were not busy in the kitchen were standing or sitting under the verandah. Lin Liuniang, who was called by Manager Chu to act, was among these servants, boasting about her acting skills.

Seeing the girl approaching, everyone stopped talking, stood up and shouted, "Miss Ali."

Hearing this, Hongwen lifted her head away, and looked at Xia Zhaoyi with slack eyes, her lips were frozen purple.

Seeing Xia Zhaoyi looking at Hongwen, Lin Liuniang hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss Ali, no one wants her to kneel, but she has to kneel over there herself, and she wants to forgive her!"

Hongwen begged in a hoarse voice: "Miss Ali, I know I was wrong, please plead with the eldest lady for me..."

"When you saw Yiqiu coughing to death, did you ever think about letting her go?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

"I was forced."

"Yiqiu was killed. If Yiqiu falls, the next one to be killed will be Zhao Ning."

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong." Hongwen cried bitterly, covering her face.

"You don't need to keep kneeling down," Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, "Kneeling here won't make up for the crimes you committed, it's just hurting your health. You might as well keep your strength and wait for the punishment after the verdict comes out. "

"Miss Ali..."

Xia Zhaoyi didn't speak any more, and walked away.

When he heard footsteps outside the veranda, Shen Ming was looking for a tool to try to pry off the wooden nails nailed to the window.

When the door was pushed in from the outside, he knelt quietly in front of the coffee table and meditated.

There was no movement at the door for a while, Shen Wen opened his eyes and looked.

The girl folded her hands on her chest, lazily leaning her back against the door frame, and looked at him calmly.

The light from the verandah blows behind her with wind and snow, and the youthful and graceful young girl Qingying is really picturesque.

"It's you." Shen Yan smiled.

"Your master is here," Xia Zhaoyi said, "It's downstairs."

After a long pause, the smile remained unchanged: "Really."

Xia Zhaoyi came in with his hands down, and closed the door sideways, shutting it out together with the wind and snow.

Shen Yan watched her sit down opposite, smiled and said: "Why, Ah Li wants to drink tea with me?"

"Who are those people in Qianqiu Palace?" Xia Zhaoyi asked directly.

"They?" Shen Yan shook his head, "I don't know."

"you know."

"I really don't know." Shen Yan smiled lightly.

"Lin Qingfeng was captured by their people."

"Her? Oh... She loves to cause trouble, so it's not surprising that she was taken away."

"It seems that you won't tell me anything." Xia Zhaoyi laughed.

"No, no, you know everything without speaking, and you can say nothing without saying anything."

"Do you know Tang Xiangsi?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

Shen Yan was slightly stunned, then smiled: "I don't know."

"you recognize."

"I really don't know."

"Have you found him, or are you looking for him?"

"Who is... Tang Xiangsi?" Shen Yan made a puzzled expression.

With such a good-looking face, he would not feel greasy with any expression. With a face that is too refreshing and delicate, with a slight frown, he is a handsome young man who is puzzled and seeks knowledge.

Xia Zhaoyi had to say that Shen Wen really made full use of his innate advantages.In contrast, his younger brother, who was equally handsome and unearthly, never made a fuss about it.

"If you keep pretending to me, then there's no need for us to talk," Xia Zhaoyi said coldly, "Shen Yan, I'm a ruthless person, don't you know that?"

"How could it be, Miss Ali is gentle and kind, she has a beautiful voice and sweet voice, and everyone loves her."

"Bang!" A dagger was thrust into Shen Wen's hand.

Shen Wen looked down and blinked his eyes.

It wasn't that he was too calm and indifferent, but that he didn't see how the girl drew the knife with the knife at all, and the dagger just fell into his hand.

"Uh, girl Ali..."

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll cut your face," Xia Zhaoyi said coldly, "Shen Fan, do you want to be disfigured?"

"Miss Ali can't be so vicious, can she?" Shen Yan's smile became stiff.

Just as he finished speaking, a silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and his cheeks suddenly ached.

Shen Wen hastily raised his hand to touch it, and blood gushed out from the right side of his face.

"I'm just that vicious." The girl said with a smile.
