the first lady

Chapter 116

Therefore, Shi Jinyuan chose to commit suicide because he had failed Mayor Shi's expectations of him, saying that he had no face to live in this world anymore.

Qiao Ling'er looked at Zong Zhengyi's side face. She didn't participate in the trial process, but he could already see the scene from his eyes. He would have such an expression. It is conceivable that there must have been extremely heavy emotions at that time. pressure.

There are many such cases in criminal psychology. Shi Jinyuan's attack again is nothing more than looking for excitement and satisfying his perverted desire to kill.

The fact that she and Lanfeng leaked their affairs was because Zhui Ming investigated Shi Jinyuan's place in advance and announced the news at his place.As a result, he just got rid of a person, and he sprouted again. The other reason was the arrival of Zong Zhengyi and the officers and soldiers. Only in this way can Zhou Xuan not be discovered, which is the real satisfaction of that kind of stimulation.

That night, she and Lan Feng were both in the room, taking the antidote that could solve the mystery in advance, and distracted him with the water on the ground when he came in. In fact, the water was not ordinary water, but It is a poison prepared by Lanfeng that will react as long as it is mixed with a mysterious medicine.The longer we delay with him, the deeper the poison will be, and the deeper the confusion will be. That's why it was so simple when Qiao Ling'er hit his Baihui acupoint.

The appearance of Shi Jinyuan was unexpected and expected. When a person's psychology is distorted to a certain extent, he will be unable to control his behavior.He was a literati in vain, what happened?Not so disgusting, a wolf in human clothing.

"Ling'er, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using a bronze mirror to make your limbs disappear and terrify Shi Jinyuan?" Zong Zhengyi saw that her face was not looking good, so he temporarily suppressed this matter in his heart and didn't think about it.

After being said by Zong Zhengyi, Qiao Linger suddenly came back to her senses, and said, "I found it when I looked in the mirror, because the candlelight is the same color as the bronze mirror. The color is the same as the outside world, so it should make people think that there are no limbs."

In fact, the effect is better in the dark night, but there are no clear mirrors in this world, only bronze mirrors.Since there was only a bronze mirror, she thought of lighting candles to complete the experiment.

Fortunately, it was a success.

But Shi Jinyuan was smart, but he never thought of lighting candles in the middle of the night. If he didn't show his feet, maybe he wouldn't be discovered.Even if the bodies with missing limbs are found later, it cannot be concluded that he is the murderer.

"Ling'er, don't think too much, this matter is over." Zong Zhengyi gently hugged her body and comforted her.

"Yeah." Qiao Ling'er nodded, and then said: "Maybe this is 'Skynet is not leaking'!"

But for her who has always believed in this sentence, this sentence is really coming in handy now.You know, she used to be a thief, and she stole countless things. Naturally, every time she stole something, she was committing a crime. At that time, the phrase "Skynet is fully restored but not leaked" would not work.

The room was silent, Qiao Ling'er leaned against Zong Zhengyi quietly.

Forget it, she doesn't want to think about it any more. If she thinks about it too much, it will only annoy herself more.

"Gu Gu" originally planned to squint for a while, but the stomach's protest sounded suddenly.

Qiao Ling'er opened her eyes in embarrassment, and before she could speak, Zong Zhengyi had already opened the distance between the two of them a little, took a small bundle from the side, and opened it while saying: "After sleeping for so long, you should be hungry." gone."

"Eh? Have I slept for a long time?" Qiao Ling'er watched him take out a cake, and at the same time opened the small curtain of the carriage.

Outside, the yellowish scenery is reflected in the mottled tree shadows, through which the red sun can be seen.The sun at this time is different from what I have seen before, leaning on the mountainside, it is very huge, set off by the surrounding clouds, it is very beautiful.

"It's already dusk...I actually slept for such a long time..." Qiao Linger muttered softly.

Judging from their feeling of leaning slightly, they are now walking uphill, so the slowly setting sun is becoming more and more clear now.

Zongzheng Yi smiled slightly after hearing her words, and then took out the special cake that had already been taken out of his hand. "Ling'er, let's eat something first!"

The delicious taste made the hungry Qiao Linger drool immediately, she put down the curtain and turned to Zong Zhengyi, and took it, the appearance was not different from the one she ate before, but the taste seemed...

"What kind of cake is this?" Qiao Linger is a food lover. Although the appearance is still the same, her intuition tells her that there must be a lot of content inside.

"Eat, eat and see." Zong Zhengyi admired her sense of smell, which was more sensitive than a dog's. He was confident that there was no smell coming out of it, but she still noticed it.

Bite down, the softness is very different from the previous ones, and the taste inside made her even more delighted.

"It's shepherd's purse meatloaf." After taking a sip, Qiao Ling'er could tell what was inside, and her eyes immediately turned into star shapes. "Yi, how did this come about? Why are there shepherd's purse patties?"

Zongzhengyi looked at the little woman who was eating with a happy face, and his heavy heart slowly calmed down, "There are a lot of shepherd's purses in the town, and Lanfeng is afraid that you are not used to eating them, so I specially made some for you." Eat on the road."

As soon as she heard that it was Lan Feng, she immediately lifted the curtain of the car. Yue Ying was startled by her sudden movement, but saw her looking around, and finally saw Lan Feng behind, and couldn't help shouting: "Lan Feng... ...Thank you for the pie, I love you the most..."

At the back, Lan Feng, who was listening to Zhui Ming describing his career as a killer, blushed involuntarily when he heard Qiao Ling'er yelling and shaking the pancake in his hand, adding that ambiguous sentence.

"Ling'er, it's dangerous, come in." Zong Zhengyi shook his head helplessly, she was really worried, didn't she know that it would be dangerous to climb the outer wall of the carriage like this?

"Yeah." After thanking him, Qiao Ling'er slipped in again, and said to Zongzheng Yi while gnawing on the cake, "Yi, the scenery outside is nice, why don't we ride horses too!"

"You want to ride a horse?" Zongzheng raised his eyebrows.

"Well, take a look at the scenery outside." Qiao Ling'er opened the small curtain, letting the red glow shine in through the window, blooming the beautiful scenery outside, like fireworks, so bright and beautiful.

You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and people who look at the scenery look at you upstairs.

"It's not bad if you can keep looking at this kind of scenery." Qiao Ling'er looked at it for a while, and then said slowly: "In this era, there are too many unsatisfactory things. In order to survive, for status, for glory and wealth, always In the midst of intrigue. And this is the worst in the royal family. There is no right or wrong, no willingness or disapproval, only orders and obedience. One sentence can determine a person's life; one sentence can destroy a family. One sentence , How many grievances and enmities have been carried, in their consciousness, will they remember everything they have done, will they repent, and will they atone for their evil deeds?"

A faint female voice floated in this small space, and the speaker completely described his impression of the royal family; the listener went from being surprised at the beginning to feeling distressed later, looking at the plain smiling face, he just wanted to express She is protected under her own wings, preventing her from being oppressed by any outside world.

After a brief silence, Qiao Linger suddenly laughed awkwardly: "Did I say something strange?"

Zongzhengyi shook his head and said seriously: "No, Linger, you are right, this is the so-called royal family. The royal family envied by outsiders, because they have never really experienced what is called the royal family. The royal family is from ancient times to the present. The most disgusting place!"

"...I'm a little worried." After hesitating for a while, Qiao Ling'er finally said what was in her heart.

"Worried about what Emperor Wu and the crown prince will do?" Zong Zhengyi guessed.

Qiao Linger nodded without denying, "The prince is too sharp, ambitious, and not resourceful. What I am worried about is why Emperor Wu would hold him on the throne and confront the third prince. Emperor Wu does not seem to be that stupid People, if he really wanted to support the prince, he should do so in secret, not so blatantly, it's unbelievable."

The most important point was touched on in one speech. In fact, she also heard the third prince Helian Feiqi say it when she was in the military camp, but she didn't think much of it at that time.But now that the delicate relationship has been clarified, she must pay attention to it.

"I'm more worried about what the prince will do." Zong Zhengyi lowered his voice.

Qiao Ling'er looked at him and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"According to my investigation, the crown prince secretly cultivated a group of dead men in a villa outside the city. I was wondering what these dead men would be used for!" Zong Zhengyi narrowed his eyes, barely noticeable. A touch of sharpness.

"Dead warriors... are they used to kill people?" Qiao Linger understood that the ancient dead warriors were almost like ninja killers, they were all for the purpose of stealing information, killing people, and doing things that should not be known to others.If unfortunately caught, they will pledge their lives, and there will be no extra words.

"The key is... who to kill!" Zong Zhengyi looked at her and silently said the next two words.

Hearing this, Qiao Linger frowned. Helian Feiyan, a bastard, did he really underestimate him?
The next moment, she was embraced by Zong Zhengyi, and the warm breath immediately enveloped her whole body.

Zong Zhengyi rested his head on her shoulder and said in a low voice: "Princess Six married Eldest Brother, the Crown Prince was assassinated, and the capital and border gates may no longer be peaceful."

"Border border? Why?" Qiao Linger asked in surprise.

"Emperor Wu had received a secret order before we came here. It was a turmoil within the Yi tribe. The chief of the Yi tribe was killed, and a new subordinate was appointed to lead the Yi tribe. At that time, the eldest brother was in the capital." Zongzheng Yi lightly The description is light, and the eyes are always calm.
