Seeing Huangfu Yuexun's serious look, Wan Qiliang knew that something terrible had happened, and it must be related to his vital interests, otherwise there would be no need to send out his secret guards.
Wan Qiliang sat aside seemingly unconcerned, thinking in her mind that it was no longer possible for her to stay out of all the events that were happening now. Besides, she was also very interested in seeing who was behind everything, but It seemed that Huangfu Yuexun didn't intend to tell her anything this time. After sending the man away, he seemed to be leaving, but unfortunately an uninvited guest stopped him in his tracks.
"Why are you here?" Li Wanwan's sudden appearance made Wan Qiliang and Huangfu Yuexun a little confused. He didn't know why she appeared here, but she thought she wouldn't come.
"I heard that something happened here, Princess. I want to come over and take a look." Li Wanwan heard the news very early. She was hesitating whether to come over. She didn't want to be angered by Huangfu Yuexun, but she heard the servant reported that Huangfu Yuexun didn't intend to deal with Wan Qiliang, so she couldn't help coming.
"It's okay." At this juncture, Huangfu Yuexun's mind was no longer on the matter of whether Wan Qiliang had cheated on her, and as she said, there were too many doubts about this matter and it was worthy of scrutiny, so It doesn’t matter if you let it go for now.
"That's good, I think about it, the prince is so good to the princess, how could the princess fall in love with someone else?" Li Wanwan seemed not to have heard the urgency in Huangfu Yuexun's words, and was still talking to herself. .
Seeing that Li Wanwan showed no sign of leaving, Huangfu Yuexun probably lost his patience, so he just casually explained and left the two women in the room, not knowing what to do.
This was the first time that Li Wanwan was alone with Wan Qiliang, and she felt uncomfortable all over. Although Wan Qiliang didn't even pay attention to her, he still gave her a sense of oppression out of thin air.
"I heard that you and the prince were childhood sweethearts?" Wan Qiliang said casually, with a slightly raised tone, very much like those unruly matrons who often deliberately make things difficult for their concubines.
Li Wanwan was stunned. When had someone ever spoken to her like this? Due to Wan Qiliang's status, she could only be filled with reluctance. "That's it, Princess."
"That means you know the prince very well?"
"I don't dare to figure out the prince's thoughts, but I still know his daily habits very well." Anyway, I know more than you do.
"Then what kind of women do you think the prince likes and what kind of women don't like?"
"That's the best, lest there are always some women who think they want to win the prince's favor but end up having the opposite effect." Wan Qiliang found that he was quite comfortable playing this kind of role. He saw Li Wanwan change from pink to red, and from red to blue. Wan Qiliang's somewhat depressed mood was suddenly relieved, and he felt pretty good.
"Thank you, Princess, for your teaching. I will definitely remember it." Li Wanwan said this sentence almost through gritted teeth. Isn't it because her status is more noble than hers? Whenever it was her turn to be arrogant, if she was not punished this time, she would not believe that she would fail next time, and she believed that that person would definitely help her.
"Now that I know, I should tell the other concubines in the palace more often. The prince has many women. Only by being able to live in peace can the prince be relieved." Seeing how considerate she was, Wan Qiliang felt greatly relieved in his heart. Praise was given.
Li Wanwan could only nod her head. She was not at all unable to interrupt. Every word Wan Qiliang said seemed to be for her, and it seemed that it had no specific purpose. But didn't she usually ignore this? Why have you become so verbose today
"It's good that you understand my concubine's painstaking efforts. If nothing happens, just go back. You don't look well today because of the fright you suffered a few days ago. Please pay more attention to your health." Wan Qiliang saw that Li Wanwan's face was indeed a little pale. , but it's not certain why. As the saying goes, "Don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." She would not believe that she was so innocent.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I will take my leave first." Li Wanwan knew that Wan Qiliang was not that simple. After hearing these indifferent words, Li Wanwan always felt that Wan Qiliang was warning her. Did she know everything? ? Impossible, he was probably just testing her, and she must not expose her.
After sending away Li Wanwan, Wan Qiliang immediately called Ying Han out. Like a master, like a servant, Qin Jiatian was so arrogant, the one in front of him was almost arrogant.
"Where did you send Murong Lunshu last night?"
"Of course I sent him back to his room."
"Did anything happen after that? You didn't come back all night." Wan Qiliang didn't miss every expression on Ying Han's face. After careful observation, he seemed to have seen something extraordinary.
"After that, Murong Lun's skills went crazy, so my subordinates didn't come back in order to stop him." Ying Han said without changing his expression, but his heart almost stopped beating.
"Really?" Wan Qiliang didn't believe it at all, "But now I know what that medicine is used for."
Wan Qiliang looked at Ying Han thoughtfully. Although it is definitely not a gentleman's behavior to take advantage of others' danger, but... what a good job!
And the message Yinghan read from Wan Qiliang's eyes was: I know everything you did, and you did it very well! He began to worry about the future life of the leader. Can such a female leader bear it
"Forget about that matter, do you know where Huangfu Yuexun went?"
"What I heard was from the woods on the outskirts. It seems that I discovered the group of killers from the massacre that day." Yinghan must be first-class behind him, otherwise Huangfu Yuexun's secret guards would not have been unable to discover it. Wan Qiliang believed that the information he heard was very credible.
"Then let's go there too." Huangfu Yuexun didn't take her there, or even said anything about it. Presumably he couldn't appear there openly. Both he and Huangfu Yueyang ordered not to participate in the investigation of this matter. It was Huangfu Zhuotian who was suspicious of both of them.
Wan Qiliang and Ying Hanshen left Prince Lie's Mansion without anyone noticing. It didn't matter even if someone found out that Wan Qiliang was missing. She could make up any excuse as long as she could fool Huangfu Yuexun. Besides, people like this are so panic-stricken now. At this time, no one would care where she went.
Ying Han thought that Wan Qiliang would send him to investigate, but he didn't expect that she would go with him. With such a figure with thin arms and legs, how was he going to take her there? If he didn't hurry up, all the clues in the suburbs would be lost. Gone.
Wan Qiliang seemed to have noticed Ying Han's worry. It was really depressing to be looked down upon by others, so it didn't matter if she set off first to see if he would still look down on her.
When the two of them arrived at the outskirts, even though they were prepared, they couldn't bear it, because the sight in front of them was so shocking, and it once again reminded Wan Qiliang of that bloody night.
Blood was still everywhere, and there were traces of dried blood on the land. Even the river turned bright red, and the fish inside turned over and followed the direction of the flow to find their destination.
Dozens of corpses were hung upside down on every tree on both sides of the river. From the angle where Wan Qiliang and the others stood, they could not clearly see the expressions of the deceased, but they could clearly see the marks on their necks. There was a deep bloodstain, and the wound was a bit bloody, as if the throat had been sealed with a barbed dagger. The technique was clean and neat, and the location of the artery was found with incomparable precision.
"Can you tell who did it?" Wan Qiliang calmed down and asked Ying Han who was standing aside.
"I don't know." He has traveled around the world for so many years and has killed many people, but he has never seen such a cruel way of killing. He was hanging upside down and the blood was drained from the body bit by bit. If he found it later, he was afraid that he would be killed. All they could see was a pile of mummies.
It was too difficult to avoid attracting attention by killing people in such a way, but there was no clue at all. There was no murder weapon at the scene. According to the autopsy report made by the couple, these corpses had their throats cut first and then hung one by one on the trees, and were tied to The knots on their feet cannot be untied at all, unless the feet are chopped off to take away the corpses. This is why Wan Qiliang can still see corpses growing on the trees.
Wan Qiliang looked at each corpse carefully. If he was right, all twenty-three corpses were male corpses. Could it be that the woman who claimed to be one of the four envoys of the Nightmare was the murderer? Although she also used a dagger, there was nothing else on the dagger except a sharp edge. So where did the woman go? Or could she think that her status was higher than that of the dead people? Moreover, these killers are all dead, where is Wan Qisheng? Whether he is dead or alive now, does the two massacres have anything to do with him? Wan Qiliang's mind is now filled with all kinds of problems. She needs a breakthrough to get out of this maze-like situation, but where is the breakthrough
Not only Wan Qiliang was puzzled, but the other forces that arrived here were also at a loss. Huangfu Yuexun originally wanted to bring Murong Lunshu with him, but he didn't know why he suddenly became seriously ill. Naturally, he couldn't force him. He only brought a few secret guards and hurried over. When he arrived here, he saw everything for the first time. , he almost vomited in disgust. The massacre this time was almost the same as that night, except that it could be done cleaner this time, but in this case, the only clue was broken again.
The princelings have been in a passive state because of Wan Qisheng's disappearance. No one has made any suggestions. Huangfu Yueyang is nothing at all. The suggestions of the remaining ministers who support him have been almost rejected by Su Zhixin. , coupled with Huangfu Zhuotian's suspicion, the life of the princeling faction can be said to be miserable. The only benefit is the neutral party that neither supports Huangfu Yueyang nor Huangfu Yuexun. Huangfu Zhuo is getting more and more God's respect.
Yinghan could feel that besides Huangfu Yueyang and Huangfu Yuexun, there were others like them appearing here. What were the origins of these people? What is hidden behind the two massacres? Yinghan is really becoming more and more interested.
Unlike Ying Han, Wan Qiliang felt that the crisis was getting closer and closer, but she didn't know who she was targeting, but she had a hunch that this was just the beginning, and it was just an appetizer at the beginning. The real The main meal may not be waiting for them to taste it, and the final taste will only be decided by the person who wins. Unfortunately, she really doesn't want to be someone else's meal...
