Noble First Daughter-in-law

"what?!"

Shang Ruyi was shocked, the bowl in his hand loosened, and fell to the ground and shattered.

Yu Wenjian on the side frowned, but didn't ask any more questions, just walked over silently and looked at them.Wo Xue said in panic, "Lord Yin ordered Song Yu to be locked up in a side room in front, and additional guards were sent outside, but when he delivered his food just now, he was found dead."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's expression darkened, and she immediately said, "Let's go!"

She didn't care about other things, she got up and hurried out with Wo Xue.

When they came to the door of the room temporarily used to detain Song Yu, Yin Changyue, Dai Junliang and others had arrived. A crowd surrounded the room, and it was Song Yu's body that fell in the pool of blood in the center of the room.

A short knife was stuck in his chest, and most of his body was stained red with blood.

Seeing that the man who was still alive just now, who was arguing with Shang Ruyi with his neck stiffened, had died of anger at this moment, everyone showed different expressions, some were angry, some were regretful, and some were helpless and panicked.

And more, it is doubt.

Song Yu died just like that.

Suicide in fear of guilt, or——

Shang Ruyi didn't say a word, just pursed her pale lips, and looked down at the corpse. Song Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were bulging. Before, something terrible happened.

Faced with this kind of silk, even if the sun was shining brightly, even if he had just experienced the most tragic Shang Ruyi on the battlefield, he couldn't help but gasped.

But she is not afraid.

but anger.

Not only her, but even Wo Xue who followed her frowned, her delicate face was full of uncontrollable anger, she gritted her teeth and said, "How could it be like this?"

"..."

No one answered her.

In fact, everyone felt the same feeling when they saw this scene.

On the other hand, Yin Changyue and Dai Junliang's faces were ashen, and their moods were extremely gloomy.

You know, this time there was an incident of murdering court officials in the army. As a supervising army, Yin Changyue must be held accountable when he returned to Daxing. He had been in trouble with him a few times before, and he also hoped to suppress the matter so that he could stay out of it. "Who knows, the general's wife refused to give up, and after collecting all the evidence, he could only help to clarify the case. At least it was an errand, and there was an explanation; who knew, the suspect died just after the case was clarified." up.

This time, even if he won the battle of Fufeng, it would be difficult for him to return to the court.

As for Dai Junliang, he was also worried.

The two were silent for a while, and Dai Junliang finally said softly: "Ma'am, we just came here, and there is only Song Yu's body in the room. And—"

"what?"

"The window is open."

Everyone hurriedly looked up, only to find that the window on the other side was indeed ajar, but since this room is where the suspect is held, the window must be sealed.

Shang Ruyi frowned: "Why didn't you close the window?"

A guard immediately said: "Ma'am, the window was originally sealed, but when we checked just now, we found that there were traces of being pried open by a dagger. Moreover, there were a few footprints left on the window sill. Presumably, someone passed through it." The windows come into this room."

"..."

Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi fell silent.

After a long time, a cold light flickered in her eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "So, Song Yu didn't commit suicide."

As soon as she said this, the room became even quieter.

Song Yu didn't commit suicide.

This point, in fact, when everyone saw the ferocious and terrified expression before his death, they already had such guesses in their hearts, and at this moment, they understood it even more.

He was killed.

only--

Dai Junliang thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the guards at the door, and asked, "You guys are guarding outside, did you hear any movement inside?"

Several guards looked at each other and shook their heads.

One of the leaders said: "Master Song has been yelling and yelling and threatening us since he came in. The villains obeyed the orders of Lord Dai and Lord Yin and ignored him. After making a noise for a while, Lord Song also calmed down. We It was only when he was tired of cursing. Unexpectedly, it was—”

"Didn't you hear anything?"

"No."

Hearing what they said, Dai Junliang couldn't help but frowned, and murmured: "If someone broke in and killed him, with Mr. Song's skills, can the other party really make him silent? ?”

For a while, everyone fell silent again.

After thinking for a while, Shang Ruyi said softly, "So, it wasn't just one person who did it."

"...!?"

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at her, and Yin Changyue opened his eyes wide in astonishment: "Ma'am, what do you mean—"

Shang Ruyi said: "At least two people did it."

"..."

"Only in this way is it possible to restrain Song Yu and kill him without making any sound or alerting the guards outside."

"..."

"As for the one who did it—"

Dai Junliang thought for a while, and immediately said: "The guards in the official office are so strict that outsiders can't come in and out at will. Moreover, this is the backyard, and this kind of thing happened again. I have already ordered strict guarding."

"..."

"The people in the backyard are just us and the people who followed us."

"..."

"But none of these people have left."

Just when everyone was a little confused, Shang Ruyi looked around, and suddenly said, "Just now, where are the two guards beside Song Yu?"

"...!?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

But someone immediately realized that what she was talking about was the two guards who seemed a little dull and even incompetent when they "publicly tried" Song Yu in the council hall just now.

Yin Changyue said in astonishment: "I, after I ordered Song Yu to be imprisoned, I made them all retreat."

Because they did not participate in the murder of the general, they were not imprisoned together. When their master was imprisoned, they were naturally dismissed.

At this time, Dai Junhao seemed to understand something, and immediately ordered the guards behind him: "Go, go find it!"

Several guards took orders and ran down in a hurry.

At this time, it was already past noon, and the sun above the head was like a burning fireball, roasting the ground red, and the room was even hotter than a furnace, but all the people standing inside felt an inexplicable chill Rising from the bottom of my heart, there seemed to be a little ominous premonition spreading silently.

After a while, several guards ran back.

Dai Junliang immediately asked: "How?"

The guard said out of breath, "My lord, those two people are gone."

"what?"

"We went to ask, and the people below said they hadn't seen them. We searched the entire government office, even the barracks, but there was no sign of them."

When Dai Junliang heard it, his expression darkened immediately. He thought for a while, and immediately said: "Hurry up and send someone to look for them, search the whole city, we must find these two people!"

"Yes!"

Those people rushed down again immediately.

There was another commotion around, but Shang Ruyi stood aside with a strange coldness on her body. Although she hadn't got the final result yet, she could almost foresee what the final result would be.

Those two people should never be found.

At this moment, she turned her head to look at Song Yu's body. Even though it was covered by a white cloth, it still showed the twisted and ferocious contours of his face before he died. At this moment, Shang Ruyi finally understood one thing——

No wonder, he died in such a panic.

Apparently even he didn't expect that the two guards who seemed to him dull and incompetent would suddenly become so agile and swift, and break into the room where he was imprisoned.

However, they did not come to save him, but to kill him.

Even—Shang Ruyi realized at this time that those two guards were not so dull and incompetent.

Their dull and incompetent appearance just now should be faked.

Thinking about it, they already saw that Shang Ruyi had enough evidence against Song Yu in his hands. Even if he was temporarily rescued at that time, he would not be able to escape the fate of being tried by the court after returning to Daxing City. Involve more people and things.

Therefore, their incompetence at that time was actually a kind of giving up, allowing Shang Ruyi and others to try him and imprison him.

Also, let them relax their vigilance.

After they thought everything was under control and imprisoned Song Yu, these two people reappeared and killed him. In this way, the case of murdering the general can only end here!

From this point of view, those two seemingly dull and incompetent guards were not Song Yu's people, or they were Song Yu's people on the surface, but in fact, there was another bigger figure behind them.

That is what Shang Ruyi wanted to ask from Song Yu's mouth, the person who ordered him.

This person has been hiding behind the scenes from the very beginning, and the battle of Fufeng has always been shrouded in the huge shadow cast by this person—the medicinal materials were looted, Yu Wenye fell ill, Song Yu set fire to harm, and just now, they just asked Song Yu It is clear that he died before the matter was fully revealed.

At such a time, being silently killed——

It's silence!
Just thinking about it, Shang Ruyi clenched her fists, her slender finger bones turned white, but an infuriating sense of powerlessness spread over her body.

After all, she took a step slower.

If I had persisted for a moment longer at that time, maybe I would have been able to get this person out of Song Yu's mouth.

but--

At this moment, a tall, dark shadow appeared from behind, covering the blazing sun outside, and shrouding Shang Ruyi under the shadow.

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt suffocated.

She turned around slowly, and when she raised her head, she met the eyes that were so bright and calm under the shadow of the sun, as if she was outside all blood stains, so quiet that they were not stained by the mortal world.

It's Yuwen.

With clear eyes and a calm expression, he said, "Have you finished dealing with the matter?"
