After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 222: Invite the Taoist priest

Yao Shouning didn't like Su Miaozhen, everyone in Yao's family knew that.

She has always been open and generous, and seems to get along with everyone, but she only respects Su Miaozhen at a respectful distance. Since the two siblings entered Yao's house, she has never played with Su Miaozhen, which is completely different from her previous personality.

Liu Shi also heard that she didn't like Su Miaozhen, but she didn't mention the reason.

At this moment, hearing her mention the 'red mole', everyone subconsciously looked at Su Miaozhen——

She panicked for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her head.

Yao Ruoyun's pupils shrank sharply.

Since the two met for the first time, Su Miaozhen avoided him like a snake and scorpion, and he was frightened by Yao Shouning's inexplicable question, and began to avoid Su Miaozhen.

Don't talk about looking at her too much on weekdays, and try not to even talk to her. I really didn't notice whether this cousin had a cinnabar mole on her forehead.

But at this moment, when she saw her covering her face and eyes full of panic, many things became self-evident.

It wasn't until now that Yao Ruoyun realized that she was careless.

Liu's face was also full of suspicion, her eyes shuttled back and forth between the eldest daughter and Su Miaozhen.

The conversation she heard today completely overturned her previous cognition, and she was so confused that she couldn't stand stably, so she had to support the table with her hands.

"Aunt—Aunt, I didn't—"

Su Miaozhen did not expect that Cheng Fuyun was interrogating Yao Shouning, but in the end the topic would turn to himself.

Confused and helpless, she subconsciously covered her head with her hands, desperately denying:
"How could I be enchanted?"

Liu Shi opened her mouth, but seemed to lose her voice.

Yao Wanning stood there silently, her face was as white as snow, and the small red mole on her forehead was particularly eye-catching, but she had no intention of reaching out to cover it up, but let everyone stare at her with taboo or curiosity face look.

Cheng Fuyun was also dumbfounded.

He didn't expect Yao Shouning to kill such a carbine.

"Father-in-law, since Zhenmagic is so powerful—" Yao Shouning wiped his face with his hand while wiping his sweat:

"Why don't you check, is my cousin bewitched?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a figure shaking at the door, and after a while, Su Qingchun, who came late, stood at the door with a pale face, subconsciously staring at Su Miaozhen.

"The Xicheng case that day, in the final analysis, was also caused by the disturbance in my cousin's carriage. If there is something wrong, why are you only chasing after me?"

Yao Shouning was naive and simple at first, answering any questions he had, but now he seemed suddenly shrewd, and Cheng Fuyun wiped his face with a few questions one after another.

"I didn't, you nonsense!"

Su Miaozhen could not help feeling great hatred in her heart when she saw that her misfortune was being diverted to the east.

Under her palm, the small vermilion mole on her forehead suddenly became crystal clear, and then the fire in the room flickered inexplicably——

Sitting at the top left like a statue, Chen Taiwei, who was listening quietly without making a sound, suddenly moved, put down the teacup, and subconsciously stood up.

He stood too hastily, his thighs touched the chair, and he pushed the heavy wooden chair back with all his strength, making a 'creak' sound as he moved.

Seeing his actions, Yao Shouning seemed to sense something was wrong.

But her power was sealed, and it was difficult to see the shadow of abnormality at this time.

Just in an instant, a gust of wind hit her, seeming to pass through her body, causing her to tremble tremblingly, she raised her head to look around, and then looked puzzled.

"It's not her!"

Just when Yao Shouning felt that the wind was a bit strange, he heard the voice of "consciousness" from Su Miaozhen:

"She has no power, it's just a coincidence between nonsense."

As soon as the words fell, Su Miaozhen subconsciously put down the hand covering the red mole on her forehead and heart, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Taiwei's expression was condensed, and she stared closely at Yao Shouning, but she saw that her expression was as usual from the beginning to the end, as if she didn't realize what happened before.

After a while, he slowly sat back on the chair, but instead of serving tea, he stopped hiding his gaze and kept looking at Yao Shouning.

In the previous scene, it seemed as if the entire space had been stopped. The people from Zhenmensi half stood up, and Liu's head was lowered, his face full of anxiety.

Cheng Fuyun, on the other hand, held a neatly folded handkerchief to the side of his face.

Until Chen Taiwei took his seat, everything returned to normal.

A hand holding a handkerchief gently moved to Yao Shouning's forehead, sweating for her, and Yao Wanning's gentle voice came over:
"what happened?"

"It's okay, just now there seems to be a gust of wind blowing."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she didn't care about the 'monster, evil', and hurriedly asked someone to fetch Yao Shouning's clothes again.

"Do not bother."

Cheng Fuyun stretched out his hand to stop, "We still have a few words to say, so we won't bother Miss Second after we finish."

"Father."

Yao Shouning reached out and tugged at his sleeve, "Don't be in a hurry to ask me alone, my cousin is also involved in the West City case."

"The death of the coachman Liu Da has not yet been found out, maybe it was the work of a demon."

Hearing this, Su Miaozhen hated her so much that she intertwined her fingers and twisted and twisted again and again.

"Since the Department of Magic is in charge of evil spirits, is my cousin bewitched? Is the red mole possessed by evil spirits?"

She asked several questions in a row, and when she spoke, she shook and flicked the hand holding Cheng Fuyun's sleeve, so that Cheng Fuyun couldn't concentrate on looking into Chen Taiwei's eyes.

"We will find out these things one by one!"

When Cheng Fuyun was speaking, he saw that Chen Taiwei had already sat down slowly, his expression returned to normal, it was hard to see the clue.

He frowned slightly, and asked Yao Shouning again:

"Let's not mention the matter of the west city for the time being. Three days ago, you and the son went out of the city late at night?"

coming!

In the minds of Yao Shouning and Yao Wanning, such a thought emerged at the same time.

The people from the Town Magic Division were rambling all over the place, just trying to suppress Yao Shouning's will, making her fearful and confused, and let others manipulate her.

But at this moment, Yao Shouning was on the defensive. Even though Zhenma Division had a large number of people, Chen Taiwei and Cheng Fuyun interrogated, but in the end, Yao Shouning took away several questions that were the killer's trump card, and even brought the topic back to the Su Miaozhen's body.

This made Zhenmensi's plan come to nothing, and made Cheng Fuyun impatient to go around in circles, and finally went straight to the point.

"nonsense!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted loudly:

"Eunuch Cheng, I respect you as the lord of the Town Magic Division, and I salute you again and again."

Today, when these people came to see Yao Shouning by name, they didn't know what to say when they came, and now they even talked nonsense about her daughter going out in the middle of the night.

"You also heard that my daughter did meet the prince a few days ago, but she was frightened by the destruction of the carriage, and she was bedridden with a high fever since then. These were all witnessed by family members. You can ask someone! "

Liu's temperament is impatient, and she has endured until now, and she is already very afraid of the evil name of Zhenmensi in the past. Now, taking into account her daughter's reputation, she refuses to back down even half a step:

"Although I'm just a woman, I have heard about the rules of Zhenmagic Division's handling of cases. Eunuch Cheng said that my daughter went out of the city with the son late at night. Is there anyone who can prove it?"

"Of course there are—"

After Cheng Fuyun said this, Yao Wanning, Qing Yuan and the others felt tight.

On the contrary, Yao Shouning was calm, pretending to be sick and delicate, gasping for breath, not showing panic, but puzzled:
"What evidence?"

"Three days ago, at midnight, someone saw you and the prince going out of the city in a carriage."

Cheng Fuyun's eyes were gloomy, his body bowed, and he approached:

"Where did you go? Did you go to the imperial tomb? Into the underground palace of the king?"

"Say!"

He looked ferocious, and while yelling loudly, he subconsciously reached out to touch his side.

There was a big knife hanging there, and when he pressed it, the blade lightly touched the scabbard, making a slight knocking sound.

"..."

Yao Wanning's mind was blank, and every time Cheng Fuyun asked her, her face turned ugly. At the end, when he yelled loudly, her whole body shook, and she subconsciously protected her sister.

"What is the father-in-law going to do?"

Liu yelled, and Yao Ruoyun clenched her hands into fists.

Su Miaozhen gloated and sneered, Su Qingchun looked at her quietly, feeling cold in his heart.

……

At this moment, the atmosphere is tense, and the heartstrings of everyone in the room seem to be tense, and the atmosphere is about to explode——

Yao Shouning, who was one of the parties being forced to question, seemed to be the calmest. She wiped her face and ignored Cheng Fuyun's subsequent questions. Instead, she asked:
"See me and the prince going out of the city in a carriage?"

She turned her head and looked at Cheng Fuyun:
"When and what time? What clothes did the prince and I wear? What kind of dress? Can the father-in-law see everything clearly?"

"It's around the fourth time! You are wearing a green jacket with a round collar, while the son is wearing black clothes, dressed like a girl!"

As soon as these words were finished, Yao Wanning's heart was shocked. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Yao Shouning's fingers shook slightly, obviously shocked by Cheng Fuyun's words.

But this movement was very subtle, and she clenched her five fingers tightly in an instant, regaining her composure.

Yao Shouning guessed in his heart, from Cheng Fuyun's words, 'the four quarters of the child's time', 'the round-necked green jacket', 'the prince wears black night clothes, dressed as a woman', etc., are all consistent with the details of his trip with the prince that night.

But this doesn't mean that the people in Zhenmusi really have a complete grasp of the details.

The more critical, the calmer she is.

——It is very possible that the people in Zhenmusi really knew that there was a carriage leaving the city that night.

This matter is no small matter, involving Dai Wang's underground palace, and seeing a demon, Emperor Shen Qi will definitely make a strict inquiry, and after questioning, it should be impossible to hide the fact that the son is out of the city.

But three days after the incident, people from the Zhenmagic Department came one after another, but except for today, according to Yao Wanning's words, they did not force them to meet him, but the level of the visitors increased.

No other movement was heard from the General's Mansion, which proved that the people from the Zhenmagic Division may have grasped that there were indeed two people who left the city that night, and they were very sure that one of them was the prince.

But they were probably afraid of the eldest princess and Lu Wuji, so they didn't dare to come to ask questions.

Therefore, the people from the Zhenmag Division guessed that they were the ones who walked with the son, and the Yao family's status was low, so they sent Yao Hui away in advance, threatened themselves, tried to use themselves as a breakthrough, and finally convicted Lu Zhi.

And Yao Shouning speculated that there should be two reasons why Zhenmensi made such a guess:
First, since the Xicheng incident, I have gotten quite close to Shizi, so there are naturally differences.

Second, she thought of the two entering the underground palace of the king, and the coffin full of snake bones besides the evil corpse in the underground palace.

Now that the snake spirit gathering has taken shape, it should only see the snake slough but not the snake bone.

Because in the process of supporting the demon spirit, Wan Snake used its own flesh and blood as a sacrifice to support the big snake that lived in Dai Wang's body, and in the end only one snake skin remained.

As soon as the bones of the ten thousand snakes appeared, it was obvious that there was a problem with the demon technique, so that the gathering of the snake spirits must have gone wrong, and the snake group and the demon snake must have died tragically when the demon technique was perfected.

But when there was a strange noise in the underground palace at night, the soldiers guarding the mausoleum should have heard the movement of Lu Zhi and the monster snake, and the prince went out of the city that night——

So the worst result is that someone guessed that the son of the night left the city, went to Daiwang's underground palace, broke open the gate of the tomb, sneaked into the underground tomb without a sound, and killed the demon snake dormant in the coffin.

The only ones who can do all this are the Bianji family -- they can travel in time and space, coming and going.

In this world, there are some things that are not known by the only one.

For some reason, these people may have already known what happened in Yingtian Bookstore 32 years ago, so they are very sure that the Yao family will have the birth of the blood of the Bianji family.

It's just that they mistakenly thought that the awakened blood power was Yao Wanning, so they didn't doubt themselves.

On the night when the incident happened, someone went out of the city with Shizi, accompanied by the Bianji clan, and combined with his recent closeness with Shizi, the answer was naturally ready to come out.

"..."

Thinking of this, Yao Shouning took a deep breath.

This is a crisis she should have faced since she was born.

It's just that her elder sister covered her up in the past, but now she can only rely on herself.

Yao Wanning glanced at her younger sister, as if she had made up her mind, with a firm look in her eyes, she stood up straight, as if she had something to say.

But the next moment, Yao Shouning held her hand and stopped her next move.

Things are not at their worst yet!
The people from Zhenmusi couldn't completely confirm her identity, everything was just speculation.

The most important thing is that her bloodline power was just exhausted in Dai Wang's underground palace, and the consequence of forcibly urging her bloodline power was to make her power disappear and regress.

She thought that she had provoked Su Miaozhen deliberately by causing trouble to the east. At that moment, Chen Taiwei's complexion changed suddenly, and she felt the cold air passing through her body——

'Maybe, maybe it's the demon on Su Miaozhen who is testing him. ' she guessed.

It's not impossible!

She thought of the afternoon four days ago, when she came back from a trip with the prince, she saw Su Miaozhen in Liu's house, and the ghost rushed out, trying to scare herself.

The same thing should have happened today, and the temptation was even more extreme, but the disappearance of the power made this temptation fruitless in the end, so she heard the voice saying: "It's not her, she has no power."

But these are only her guesses after all, and she doesn't know if the truth is so, as long as the people from Zhenmensi haven't left.

But no matter what, she has to gamble once!
"no!"

She shook her head and denied: "The son's status is extraordinary, how could he pretend to be a woman to go out?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Taiwei, who was on the left, tilted his head, raised the corner of his mouth, showing a faint smile.

The two had met four days ago. When they met, Shizi was dressed in women's clothes and split the carriage with a sword.

Yao Shouning ignored him, and only said:
"I didn't go out in the middle of the night either. My mother made it very clear. Four days ago, after I met the Taoist priest, there was an accident in the carriage. I was really frightened. I had a high fever and fell asleep."

"But actually," Cheng Fuyun heard what she said, turned his head to look at Chen Taiwei calmly, and said:
"Four days ago, I heard that when you went out with your son, why did he wear women's clothes and go out pretending to be a woman?"

He smiled strangely:

"Second Miss is dishonest."

"It's because the father-in-law is not good..."

Yao Shouning did not back down:
"My father-in-law should have asked him how he dressed as a woman at that time. Why did you ask me? I am not the mouth of the son!"

She is eloquent, and she is not afraid of Cheng Fuyun:
"But having said that, the son seems to be bewitched recently, and his behavior is very abnormal. It may be his personal hobby to wear women's clothes during the day, but how do I know if he travels at night?"

She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes suspicious:
"Does father-in-law see that my Yao family is single and weak, and it is not easy to cause trouble for the son, so you want to use me as a scapegoat?"

Liu Shi also thought so!

"The Town Magic Division handles the case, and I know the process." Liu Shi couldn't bear it at this time, and ordered the guest to be chased away:

"May I ask what happened three days ago, what crime did my daughter commit? If Mr. Cheng has the evidence, my Yao family will naturally let it go, and dare not violate the official order!"

Cheng Fuyun looked at her coldly, Liu Shi was not afraid, and looked at him with an extremely tough attitude:

"I don't know if your father-in-law can understand the Xicheng case clearly?"

She is plump and tall, and she stood up to protect her children, her momentum is not inferior to others:

"If the matter of Xicheng is clear, forgive me for seeing off the guests!"

Liu said loudly:

"My daughter is seriously ill, and I can't see you off personally!"

"Mrs. Yao—"

Cheng Fuyun touched the scabbard with his hand, hooked and hooked his fingertips, lifted the knife a little, and then dropped it back with a 'clang' sound. After repeating this several times, Liu's face paled, but he straightened his waist even more. drank:
"Please, Mr. Cheng, go out!"

Killing intent flashed in Cheng Fuyun's eyes, as if he had made up his mind, he hooked his fingertips, and the long knife was half out of its sheath.

His action made Zhenmensi and the others stand up as well, reaching out to hold the handle of the knife.

Yao Shouning's heart skipped a beat, and before he could make a sound, he saw Chen Taiwei, who was on the top left, finally got up at this moment.

"Since Second Miss is seriously ill, poor and lacking talents, and has also practiced the Qihuang technique, let me check with Second Miss for a pulse and see what's wrong."

His voice was clear and elegant, and his words were not hurried or slow, and he eliminated a conflict that was about to break out invisible between his words.

Cheng Fuyun hesitated for a while, then let go of his hand, and the knife fell back into its sheath.

He stretched out his hand to make a gesture, he flicked his cloak, and retreated to one side.

The other members of Zhenmagic Division sat back to their original positions, Chen Taiwei stepped forward slowly, the shadow gradually approached, and stood in front of Yao Shouning.

This person has a strange background. When she first met him that day, she tried to use her ability to pry into his details, but at that time she hadn't heard of Dao, she didn't see through his details, and only saw many blurry shadows .

Thinking about it now, those shadows are like smoke and fog, making it hard to see clearly.

The crown prince said that he was very dangerous and had a mysterious background.

He appeared in Shendu 20 years ago, and after he appeared, he was deeply trusted by Emperor Shenqi. At this time, he looked about thirty or so, and the years seemed to have left no mark on his face.

Lu Zhi cut him with a sword, but he turned into a phantom and disappeared.

When the evil spirit appeared on Su Miaozhen's body, he seemed to be aware of it.

Who is he?
Thinking about something in her heart, she felt that she was gradually being covered in the shadow of Chen Taiwei's figure, and moved her body slightly uncomfortably.

"Mother, can you brighten the lamp a little bit?"

Yao Shouning called out to Mrs. Liu:
"Since Daoist Chen wants to feel my pulse, so that Daoist can see clearly."

Liu's heart was beating wildly, and Cheng Fuyun's murderous intentions seemed real before, which made her terrified now.

But after hearing her daughter's words, she still forcibly calmed down and ordered Madam Cao to turn on the light.

The light came on, dispelling the invisible oppression brought by Chen Taiwei's shadow, the girl raised her head, her eyes were astonishingly bright, and she looked at him without flinching:
"Please feel the pulse!"

After finishing speaking, she slowly stretched out a hand and raised it in front of Chen Taiwei.

Beside Yao Shouning is her family, including mother, older sister, older brother, as well as Mong Kui and Mammy Cao who grew up with her.

No matter who Chen Taiwei is, no matter what tricks he has, she will never back down, and she will never allow anyone to hurt her family.

'I'm not afraid of you! '

In her pupils, there seemed to be the reflection of the fire, which was so bright that it made Chen Taiwei subconsciously turn his face to the side, avoiding her gaze.
