Princess, the lord has come to beg for marriage again!

Chapter 965 How about cooperation?
Chapter 965 How about cooperation?
In order to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, Dugu Xuejiao has been busy in recent days without touching the ground, and took Li Gen to Dali Temple again this day.

After entering the door, she went to see Shen Huaicheng first, because without his permission, she couldn't enter the prison at all, so she couldn't see Zhan Siqi and Shen Huaixi.

As usual, Shen Huaicheng still had a cold face.

He knew that Shen Huaixi and Zhan Siqi were not the murderers, but he didn't have enough evidence to prove their innocence, so he thought he could start with Leng Qian.

If he had any enemies, it would not be impossible to sneak in and kill him while the birthday banquet held by the Shangshu Mansion was crowded with people.

Unfortunately, I searched for a few days and found nothing.

Leng Qian didn't stay in the mansion most of the time, either in Huajie Liuxiang or on the way to Huajie Liuxiang, and sometimes even slept there during the day.

His itinerary is outrageously simple, and he's just a piece of shit.

Shen Huaicheng came to Dali Temple early in the morning, summed up the information received, and when he was full of worries and couldn't find a breakthrough, Dugu Xuejiao came.

He was sitting at the table, tapping his fingertips on the open file. When he looked at her, his eyes were calm, like a deep pool with no bottom to be seen.

"what's up?"

In any case, Dugu Xuejiao called him cousin, which was enough to give him face, after all, he was just a concubine.

If Dugu Xuejiao didn't call him cousin, no one would say anything about her, after all, the status of a bastard is not high.

But this man didn't appreciate it at all. Every time he looked at her, he was like a prisoner on trial.

I don't know if he has stayed in Dali Temple for a long time and has developed a habit, or... simply doesn't want to see her.

The corners of Dugu Xuejiao's mouth twitched, but she didn't intend to break up with him, she didn't care what he was thinking, the matter was important, she got straight to the point, and started talking about things.

"I'm here to meet my cousin and aunt."

Shen Huaicheng paused his fingertips, raised his head, and glanced at her casually.

"reason?"

What a master who cherishes words like gold.

From the corner of her eyes, Dugu Xuejiao glanced at the dossier under his hands, and suddenly curled her lips.

"I know that Shen Sicheng is worrying about how to catch the murderer, and I also know that Shen Sicheng has not received any useful information.

If I tell you that I have a clue and exchange it with you, will you let me visit the two? "

Shen Huaicheng looked at her with deep eyes, it seemed a little unbelievable that she was faster than himself, but at the same time he was a little curious as to what clue she had found.

"tell me the story."

Dugu Xuejiao pursed her lips and smiled. If he said that, he agreed.

She leaned over and whispered a few words to him, Shen Huaicheng's expression changed again and again, and finally he was still a little skeptical.

After Dugu Xuejiao finished speaking, she stood up straight with a very firm voice.

"Shen Sicheng, I think we can cooperate, you help me protect the two of them, don't torture them to extract confessions.

Give me a few days, and I will prove it to you. The murderer is someone else, and I will personally deliver the murderer to you. "

Dugu Xuejiao's words were too confident, Shen Huaicheng originally wanted to say something, but thinking of the clue she just said, she swallowed the words again.

Now it seems that there is no better way than to cooperate with her.

Shen Huaicheng took out a sign from the drawer and handed it to her, not forgetting to remind her.

"hurry up."

Meaning, don't stay in there for too long.

If it weren't for Dugu Xuejiao's strong comprehension ability, she would really not understand what he said.

She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the people who followed him in Dali Temple, could they understand what he said.

Dugu Xuejiao took the sign and went all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived at Zhan Siqi's cell.

Shen Huaicheng looked incomprehensible on the surface, but he took care of her after all. After all, he was Shen Huaixi's fiancée. He found her a single cell and changed the sheets into clean sheets.

When Dugu Xuejiao arrived, Zhan Siqi was sitting on the small wooden bed with her arms around her knees, her back against the wall, and she was looking at the only small window without blinking.

It is said to be a window, which is a small boxy hole.

Hearing the sound of the lock being unlocked, Zhan Siqi suddenly turned her head. When she saw her, her eyes lit up, and she jumped off the bed very quickly, and ran towards her before she even had time to put on her shoes.

"Jiaojiao."

Dugu Xuejiao suddenly felt like an old woman, and when she saw such a soft and fragile girl, she couldn't help but overflow with sympathy.

Although her current body is only 15 years old, she has really lived for more than 20 years. A teenage girl in front of her is a little girl.

She hugged him, lifted her feet off the ground, and sent him back to the bed.

"The ground is so dirty, what should I do if I get stabbed when I run without shoes?"

Zhan Siqi grew up, although her parents didn't spoil her very much, but she is also the second wife of the Shangshu Mansion's second wife, and her food and clothing are not short, and she can be regarded as a fine clothing and a fine food.

Now that he has entered a prison cell, even though it is already the best cell, it is nothing compared to the mansion. This dirty environment makes people very collapsed.

If she hadn't always remembered Dugu Xuejiao's words, she would have cried to death long ago.

To her, in this dark prison, Dugu Xuejiao is the light coming in from the window.

When I saw her just now, I couldn't bear it, even if my feet were pricked, I didn't feel anything.

At this time, being carried back to the bed, I realized later that I was too excited, and my face turned red instantly.

"Jiaojiao, I, I was so, so happy just now. I have been in prison for the past few days, and no one talks to me. I just face this wall all day, and I feel almost dry."

Dugu Xuejiao looked at her, in just a few days, her small face had already lost a lot of weight, and she was wearing a prison uniform again, making her look more depressed and pitiful.

"I know."

Zhan Siqi looked at her, thinking of the past few days, only felt the tip of her nose sore, and the tears couldn't stop streaming down.

"Jiaojiao, brother Huaixi, is he alright? Is he alright? He insisted on saying that he killed him because of me. They wouldn't torture him, would they?

I'm sorry brother Huaixi, it's all caused by me. If I had endured it back then, I wouldn't have stabbed that person with a dagger, and I wouldn't have allowed anyone to take advantage of me. I killed him with a dagger, and it became a murder weapon. .

Moreover, that dagger was a token of love given to me by Brother Huaixi. I actually left the dagger and ran away by myself. I... woo woo woo...

Jiaojiao, it's all because I'm stupid, I'm incapable, I only cause trouble, brother Huaixi was wronged, he entered the Imperial Academy, his future is bright, he can't be stained because of me.

Please, Jiaojiao, you must save brother Huaixi, I can't hurt him anymore, it's all my fault for making him suffer like this...

If, if the murderer is really not found, even if I have to pay for my life, I am willing, as long as I can release him, I am willing to pay anything..."

Zhan Siqi thought of the suffering these days, and couldn't help but think of Shen Huaixi who was also in the prison. He loved clean people so much, his white robes were probably stained.

The more I thought about it, the more wronged I became, and finally seeing someone, I cried out all the sourness in my heart.

Dugu Xuejiao looked at the tearful person in front of her, and was thinking of how to comfort her, when suddenly a burning sensation came from her wrist.

Her heart tightened, and she almost couldn't believe it. The petal of Yunshang just lit up a while ago, and her long-cherished wish has not yet been fulfilled. How could there be another petal?
Dugu Xuejiao was a little confused, but more excited, taking advantage of Zhan Siqi's teary eyes from crying, she quietly lifted the sleeve of her right hand, and sure enough, there was another petal, the seventh petal!

There was not a single petal in the past five months, but now two petals have grown in half a month. It would be a lie to say that I am not excited.

If it wasn't for Zhan Siqi's sad mood, she even wanted to jump up and down a few times to relieve her excitement.

It seems to be busier recently.

Dugu Xuejiao looked at the new petal, and then patted Zhan Siqi's head.

The little girl must love Shen Huaixi very much, and her long-cherished wish is so strong, she would rather use her own life in exchange for Shen Huaixi's safety, which aroused the manshushahua on her wrist.

Dugu Xuejiao pulled off her sleeves and helped her wipe away the tears.

"Cousin, as I said, I will never let you have an accident. I will catch the murderer. However, it may take some time. You have to be patient for a while.

As for the cousin, don't worry, he is also Shen Sicheng's younger brother after all, so he will definitely not be tortured.

And I've already talked to Shen Sicheng, he promised me that he won't do anything to him until I catch the murderer. "

Hearing what she said, Zhan Siqi was a little relieved, and nodded with red rabbit eyes.

Dugu Xuejiao finally comforted her, and left in a hurry. Now that she has the task of flower petals, she has to hurry up.

Out of Dali Temple, go straight to Hongxiu Pavilion.

Meteor sat on the carriage, peeking at Dugu Xuejiao from time to time, held back for a long time, but still couldn't help asking.

"Miss, you've been so busy recently, investigating everywhere, why do you still have time to go to Hongxiu Pavilion?"

The three masters and servants came out to do business today, and they were still wearing men's clothes as usual.

Even though he could sneak into a brothel by dressing up like this, he lacked confidence after all.

And now is not the time to visit brothels.

Dugu Xuejiao slowly opened her eyes, looked at the two of them, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.

"Do you believe that there are people in the world who have nothing to do with each other but look exactly the same?"

Meteor shook his head without hesitation, "How is this possible!"

Dugu Xuejiao smiled, "Yeah, I don't believe it either, so I want to see for myself what's going on."

Meteor and Li Gen looked at each other, confused.

The young lady is always so secretive, and she doesn't know what she is thinking all day long.

However, Miss always has her reasons for doing things, don't ask too many questions, just trust her.

The carriage was driving on Wanshou Street, and stopped in front of the Hongxiu Pavilion when the lights were on.

For brothels, they only open for business at night, which is the busiest time of the day, when there is an endless stream of pedestrians at the door, and all kinds of flower girls try their best to attract customers.
