Chapter 87 Bride of the Bone 12
"City Lord, this is the person who wants to harm the eldest son." Zi Yan pushed a masked man in front of everyone.

"Who are you?" Su Ziye took off the mask and didn't recognize him. It seemed that he was not from the mansion.

"The villain often delivers food to the family," the man said tremblingly.

"Why do you want to harm the eldest son?" Su Ziye asked sharply.

"It's not that I wanted to harm the young master, someone told me to do it." The man lowered his head and said.

"Who is it?" Nangong Po roared angrily, who was so bold that he wanted to harm his son.

"Yes...the deputy city lord." The man looked up at Leng Zijiao, his eyes turned cold, he wanted to kill himself to silence him, so there was no need to hide it for him.

"You're talking nonsense, City Lord, don't believe him." Leng Zijiao argued hastily.

"Is what you said true?" Nangong Po didn't look at Leng Jiao, but still stared at the man and asked.

"It's true, Santo." The man emphasized again.

"Do you have evidence?" Su Ziye was also a little unconvinced. He had known Leng Zijiao for many years, but he had never discovered that he had such ambitions.

"Yes, Santo, here is the bank note he gave me, as well as a letter and a map." The man thought for a while, then took out the bank note, letter, and a map of the Santo's Mansion from his pocket.

"City Master, look." Su Ziye looked at the letter, his face became ugly.

Nangong Po still didn't believe it, and after reading the letter, he was furious: "Leng Zijiao, are you guilty?"

"The city lord, it's not me, he must be dirty." Leng Zijiao didn't want to admit it yet.

"This is your handwritten letter, read it yourself." Nangong Po angrily threw the letter on the ground.

Leng Zijiao picked up the letter and looked at it, then collapsed on the ground.

"Why did you harm Nangongli?" Nangong Po was furious. He always regarded him as a brother, but he never thought that he would harm his own son.

"I'm sorry big brother." Leng Zijiao lowered his head in shame, refusing to say any more.

"Put him in prison..." Nangong Po's expression became ugly, and he waved to his subordinates, who pushed Leng Zijiao away.

"Su Ziye, why do you think he did this to me?"

"City Lord, I don't know." Su Ziye lowered his head in embarrassment. It was only today that he found out that Leng Zijiao was the murderer of the eldest son.

"We have been born and died so many times, and I have always regarded him as a brother. Why did he want to kill my son?" Nangong Po's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"City Master, I know the reason." Bai Ling who was standing by said suddenly.

"Master, please tell me," Nangong Po asked impatiently.

"I invite the city lord to watch a play at night, and the city lord will understand." Bai Ling looked at the crowd and felt that it was inappropriate to say what he said at this time.

"Master, I listen to you." Nangong Po nodded.

"Master, thank you for saving us." Bai Ling and Zi Yan came to Nangongli's temporary residence, and Ye Lan and Yue Luo who were guarding the bedside said gratefully.If An Yanbing hadn't rescued them yesterday, they might have burned to death.

"You don't need to thank me, I came here to ask you, when did the eldest son become abnormal?" Bai Ling asked, looking at Nangong Han who was lying on the bed.

"It was a month ago, the eldest son came back that day and he was a little dazed." Ye Lan thought for a while and said.

"Yes, just a month ago, I called the eldest son, and he didn't answer me, but just smirked." Yue Luo added.

"What happened next?" Zi Yan beside him couldn't help asking.

"The next day, Eldest Young Master, everything was normal. After a few days, he became stupid again. Seven days ago, he was not breathing at all. In the past month or so, the city lord has invited many doctors, and they all said that Eldest Young Master is dead." Tears glistened in Yelan's eyes, the eldest son was very kind to them, and they all liked him.

"Okay, you have to guard this lamp these few days, as long as it doesn't go out, your young master will be saved." Bai Ling took out a lamp from his bracelet, lit it and handed it to Ye Lan.

"This lamp is called the soul-inducing lamp. If the soul of the eldest son comes here, the soul-inducing lamp will help him enter the body." Bai Ling explained, gave a few more instructions, and left with Ziyan.

"Sister, what are we doing now?" Zi Yan asked.

"Of course I asked the city lord to watch a show, you go invite the city lord, and I'll make preparations." Bai Ling said with a smile.

After Zi Yan left, Bai Ling's figure also disappeared.

Not long after, Zi Yan led Nangong Po to the dungeon quietly.

"City Lord, just watch here and don't talk." Zi Yan led the City Lord to the dungeon quietly, not far from Leng Zijiao, the two stopped in their tracks.

"City Lord, this is an invisibility talisman, just stand here and don't move." Zi Yan handed a talisman that had been prepared to Nangong Po.

Nangong Po took the talisman and walked to Leng Zijiao's cell, but Leng Zijiao didn't react at all, it seemed that he really couldn't see him.

Not far away, a figure came over, it was the second wife, Yunhan.

"Why are you here? You shouldn't be here at this time." Leng Zijiao asked in bewilderment.At this time, Yunhan should avoid suspicion and should not come to see him.

"I heard that something happened to you, and I was very sad in the room. At this time, someone sent a note saying that you want to see me, and you have something to say to me."

"I didn't send anyone a message, Yunhan, you must have been fooled." Leng Zijiao suddenly said uneasily.

"Tricked?" Yun Han was also a little scared, looking around, but found nothing unusual.

"Zijiao, you should be worrying too much. At this time, they are all asleep, so who will come here?"

"Okay, then go back quickly." Leng Zijiao took the food box from Yunhan's hand.

"Zijiao, you have worked hard all these years." Looking at Leng Zijiao locked in the cell, Yunhan's eyes were full of tenderness.

"For you and our children, I am willing to die." Leng Zijiao looked at Yunhan and said affectionately.

"If you die, I won't live alone." Yunhan said without hesitation.

"What a loving couple, my good wife." Nangong Po suddenly appeared and roared.

"Master, why are you here?" Yun Han was so frightened that he took a few steps back, his face pale and weak.

"If I don't watch this scene tonight, I don't know that I have been wearing a cuckold for 20 years." Nangong Po looked gloomy and stared at Yunhan angrily.

"Master, it's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Leng Zijiao. Just let him go." Yun Han suddenly knelt down.

"Brother, if you want to kill me, kill me. I'm the one who clings to the second lady in a shameless manner. I deserve to die." Leng Zijiao also knelt down in the cell.

"You... you guys." Nangong was so impatient, but he didn't know what to say, he gave the two of them a hard look, turned and left.

"City lord, should you understand the motive of the deputy lord's murder?" Bai Ling, who was standing outside the cell, asked.

"En." Nangong Po nodded expressionlessly.

Back then, he didn't want to marry Yunhan, but the old city lord, his father, forced him to marry her. On the day of the wedding, Yunhan held the scissors to keep him away, and told him: I already have a sweetheart, and I don't want to marry her in my life. There will be others.

Not long after Yun Han entered the City Lord's Mansion, Nangong Po met Leng Zijiao and brought him back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Now that I think about it, everything was in Leng Zijiao's plan, I was so stupid that I never saw their ambition...
