Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 188
Hearing this, the corners of Si Jing's mouth twitched slightly.

After following Lord Jiu for so many years, they have dealt with all kinds of top grades, and Master Jiu's appalling methods have emerged endlessly. I thought that King Jin had someone set fire to melt turpentine and wrap Huang Miaoyu into a silkworm cocoon, which was enough to make people creepy That's right, I didn't expect Master Jiu to be even worse, directly asking him to sneak into He Lianzhu's territory disguised as a face, and take the opportunity to peel off He Lianzhu's face, on the premise that the person can't die.

According to Master Jiu, if he wanted He Lianzhu to die, he just stabbed him with a knife. He didn't need to be so troublesome. He just wanted He Lianzhu to face his bloody face all day long after waking up, and torment her mind little by little. .

Fortunately, he had Jiuye's medical assistance, otherwise, no matter how good his knife skills were, it would be impossible to peel off a piece of dough completely.

But even so, Si Jing still had to give a thumbs up in her heart.

ruthless!How cruel!
When he was fine, Master Jiu was a good-natured man. Those who didn't know him at first sight would definitely think that he was a gentle and warm young man who was easy to get along with.But in fact, only those secret guards who have been with Jiuye through life and death understand best. Most of the time, Jiuye just doesn't want to pay attention to those trivial matters, but once he suddenly wants to pay attention to it, the method must be unheard of. , the other party has to be skinned even if he is not dead, and he is talking about He Lianzhu.

"Does Master Jiu have any plans for the future?" Si Jing asked.

"Next, many people will be busy." Dali Temple, Concubine Xiao Huang, Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Yonglong. "We can take a break."

On the battlefield, he is good at arranging troops to win by surprise.

But when it comes to scheming people, he likes to stab a knife in the back, and then sit and drink tea leisurely and watch a bunch of people goof around.

Si Jing thought for a while, "Huang Miaoqing's side..."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows, "The mastermind has been abolished, Huang Miaoqing can only be a grasshopper after the autumn, she can't jump a few times, she bet too much this time, and she lost before it even started. The Huang family's reputation alone Suppression can completely push her to the bottom, and in a short period of time, she doesn't need to be touched."

Si Jing showed regret, "The accident happened too fast, it's a pity that Jiuye just wasted a pawn like this."

Su Yan said indifferently: "Abolishing He Lianzhu may not be a bad thing. The pool of water in Helian's house should have been muddy long ago. I've already had people say hello to Prince Wei, and he will see You don't have to worry about it, get out!"

-

Her face disappeared, and she didn't even feel a thing last night. The more He Lianzhu thought about it, the more she felt horrified. She lay on the edge of the bath, double-checked that her face had indeed been peeled off, and immediately thought of the person who seduced her in the bath yesterday. That face first.

"Come on, come on—"

He Lianzhu shouted loudly towards the outside.

The faces were scared out of their wits by her face, packed up their things and ran for their lives, there was no one else in the house.

Helian Shuang crawled out dragging her exhausted and painful body, her appearance was really the kind that even her parents would not be able to recognize her.

After finally climbing into the room, he found a large piece of gauze to cover his entire face, leaving only his eyes exposed.

Those wounds on the face hurt when touched.

Trembling, she moved back home step by step.

Strange to say, even though she had wrapped herself so tightly, so tightly that no one could recognize her, no one stopped her when she entered the gate, and she returned to her yard smoothly.

I don't know whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, as soon as He Lianzhu entered the courtyard, a basin of salt water fell from the sky, dousing her from head to toe.

"Ah—my face, my face—"

In an instant, there were hog-killing cries, and the wounds on the face, whether they were scabbing or bleeding, were all soaked in salt water, as if they had been stabbed in the face with hundreds of sharp thorns It hurts like that.

He Lianzhu fell to the ground and rolled all over the floor, feeling cold and painful, wishing to take off her whole head.

The young servant who was hiding on the roof raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and immediately lifted the tiles and gestured to Prince Wei in the room.

Concubine Wei smiled coldly, and quickly opened the door and left.

She tore off the gauze covering He Lianzhu's face, revealing a ferocious and bloody face, like a bloody corpse crawling out of a coffin.

Squinting his eyes, Concubine Wei walked over in two or three steps, and kicked her fiercely, "Where did the ugly monster come from, to dare to run wild on the princess's territory, come here, beat me out!"

As soon as the words fell, twenty or thirty "little servants" rushed out from all directions, and kicked her mercilessly one by one.

"Presumptuous!" He Lianzhu yelled loudly in pain, "How dare you treat me like this, I... ah—it hurts—stop, stop..."

Concubine Wei stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching this scene with cold eyes.

In fact, there was no such thing as he being cuckolded by He Lianzhu, because he had never touched this woman.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Lord Jiu for his careful arrangements.

Wei Consort's full name is Wei Yan, he was originally Su Yan's man, and he was Su Yan's earliest pawn in the Helian family.

At that time, Su Yan had just held a military power of 30, and he was very worried that the emperor would go to the point where the birds were all good, the bows were good, the rabbits were cunning, and the rabbits were dead dogs, so he kept looking for opportunities to infiltrate his power into the royal family step by step, and gradually control the movements of the royal family. .

And He Lianzhu's choice of son-in-law was Su Yan's first step in playing chess.

The reason why He Lianzhu was chosen was because she was the first princess in the history of Nanliang to marry a commoner. The candidate for the son-in-law did not need a strong background, as long as he had a reasonable identity. In addition, it was the first audition for the son-in-law , the procedural regulations are not yet perfect, and there are relatively large loopholes, so it will be relatively easy to do something about it.

In this way, Wei Yan became He Lianzhu's son-in-law under Su Yan's arrangement. He was not the one who consummated the marriage with He Lianzhu on the wedding night. He Lianzhu drank too much, so he found a substitute. Part of Su Yan's careful planning, his purpose was to make He Lianzhu disappointed in the son-in-law, and then find someone to guide him, arouse He Lianzhu's ambition to go out to raise a face, and use this to control He Lianzhu.

It's just that Su Yan didn't expect that He Lianzhu's hatred for He Lianshuang would be so deep that he would kill him at all costs. It's still useful to keep her, but she touched his bottom line, so he had no choice but to ruin it.

"I'm a princess, let me go!" He Lianzhu was still struggling, yelling loudly.

"Bah! Are you still the princess? I'm still the Jade Emperor!" The servant who captured her wanted to slap her, but when he saw that face, his stomach was churning, and he simply lifted his foot and kicked her hard.

He Lianzhu couldn't stand still, her knees gave up and she knelt down in front of Wei Yan. She looked at Wei Yan pitifully, "My son-in-law, my son-in-law, please save me, I am He Lianzhu, Princess Yongping!"

Wei Yan looked at her coldly: "Such a fool dares to pretend to be a princess, what are you guys doing, why don't you hurry up and fight?"

The servants got the order, and immediately punched and kicked He Lianzhu again, and after a while, they threw her out.

He Lianzhu has a bloody corpse face, and she can scare people to death wherever she goes, even if she takes out the most valuable jade pendant on her body, no inn dares to take her in.

With this appearance, it is impossible to expect anyone to recognize her. Even if she took the initiative to say that she is Princess Yongping, no one would believe her. With nowhere to go, she fell into a den of beggars.

Beggars had no place to live, so how could they accommodate such a person who was neither human nor ghost, and a group of people surrounded her and beat and kicked her half to death, He Lianzhu didn't dare to stay here anymore The beggar's nest stayed there, and left the alley in a scramble.

Knowing that He Lianzhu had nowhere to go, Wei Yan immediately went to the palace to see Concubine Xiao Huang, "Your Majesty, Princess Yongping is missing."

Concubine Xiao Huang stood up from the beauty and spoke harshly, "What did you say?"

Wei Yan tremblingly said: "Princess, she hasn't come back since she went out last night, and I have had people search for her in the middle of the night, but she can't be found. In desperation, I had no choice but to go to the palace to find the imperial concubine to make decisions."

In the eyes of everyone in the palace, his son-in-law is a cowardly and incompetent master, and Wei Yan has been very cooperative in dressing himself up as an embroidered pillow.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui listened, Gao Xuan's heart slowly retracted, thinking that Yongping must have played too much in the private house, and she hasn't returned home yet, this stinky girl is so inconsiderate, she won't go back after playing all day long . "Yesterday, she came to the palace to look for me. She said that she would be out of the city for two days. Don't worry about it. She will come back when the matter is over." Now it's the only way to cover it up for her temporarily.

There was a trace of coldness on Wei Yan's drooping face, but his tone was submissive, "Yes."

Concubine Xiao looked at Wei Yan, sighed secretly, she was blinded by such a handsome face, it turned out to be incompetent personality.

Thinking that Wei Yan could not get Zhu'er to conceive an heir for so many years, Concubine Xiao felt depressed for a while, and looked at him with disgust, and waved her hand, "Get back!"

That tone, that attitude, was simply trying to drive away a disgusting fly.

Wei Yan's status is not qualified enough to meet Emperor Yonglong and Empress Luo, so he just went out at Xiao Huanggui Concubine's place, and he had no other intention in entering the palace, mainly to say hello to Xiao Huanggui Concubine in advance, to do his best The "son-in-law" duty is done.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Wei Yan left, Shao Yao, the maidservant arranged by Concubine Xiao next to He Lianzhu, rushed over, knelt down on the ground, panting, "Imperial Concubine, the princess...is gone."

Concubine Xiao Huanggui naturally wouldn't be surprised when these words came from the son-in-law's mouth, because the son-in-law didn't know about her daughter raising a face outside, but Shao Yao was the one who arranged for He Lianzhu to raise a face. In terms of covering up and dealing with the aftermath, if even Shao Yao says that He Lianzhu is missing, then he really is missing.

The expression on her face couldn't hold back anymore, Concubine Xiao Huanggui hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Shao Yao said: "Last night, the maidservant accompanied the princess to the private house at night, because a new gentleman came during the day, and the princess seemed to miss his appearance, so I let the maidservant arrange it while the son-in-law was asleep, and went to the private house Afterwards, when she learned that the gentleman was in the bath, the princess went in directly. The maidservant had been guarding outside, but later she was drugged into a stupor by someone, and when the maidservant woke up again, she found herself lying outside In the deserted alley, the servants hurriedly went to the private house to look for the princess, only to find that not only the princess, but also all the gentlemen inside had disappeared."

"Missing?" Concubine Xiao Huanggui paled, "Is it possible that they changed places?" This girl is so bold, there should be a limit to her play, right?If things go on like this, sooner or later the emperor won't be able to find out, where will her face be put?

"It's impossible to change the place." Shaoyao said firmly, "There are more than 20 gentlemen in the house. If everyone moves their places at once, it will definitely be exposed. It is absolutely impossible for the princess to do this. Besides, the servants found it on the edge of the bath. There were bloodstains, so the servant suspects that the princess...may have had an accident."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xiao's lips trembled directly. She was just such a daughter, and she originally wanted to count on He Lianzhu to give birth to her first child and send it to the palace to help her. It's okay if you can't get pregnant, but now you're still having trouble?

"Shaoyao, hurry up and ask someone to look for it." Concubine Xiao Huang was full of anxiety, "Also, remember, don't spread this matter for the emperor to hear, and you must find the princess before the news leaks, otherwise once it is exposed , you all have to lose your heads!"

Shao Yao's face was solemn, "Imperial concubine, if you just rely on your servants to bring a few maids, you will not be able to find the princess. It's a waste of time. If His Royal Highness can help, then the time can be greatly shortened." After all, The King Xian has secret guards in his hands, and the maids who only serve people are naturally inferior to them in things like checking people's whereabouts.

"Yu'er?" Concubine Xiao Huanggui hesitated for a moment.

He Lianyu was unexpectedly cut off power because of his trip to the south for disaster relief, and he has not recovered from it yet. Would it be bad if he bothered him at this time?No matter, Pearl's life is important.

Heartbroken, Concubine Xiao Huanggui said: "You first take someone out to search in secret, for Yu'er, I will ask him to arrange someone in person."

After Shao Yao left, Concubine Xiao Huang quickly sent someone to bring He Lianyu into the palace.

"Is the concubine mother looking for something important?" He Lianyu's expression was indifferent, and he could not see much happiness or anger.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui smiled slightly, "Yu'er, how many years have you been by your mother's side?"

He Lianyu twitched his brows lightly, not understanding what Xiao Huangguifei said suddenly at this time, and after thinking about it for a moment, he replied: "I have been raised by my concubine's knees since I can remember, the concubine's great kindness and virtue , I will keep it in my heart."

"Then, did you ever regard Zhu'er as your own sister?" Imperial Concubine Xiao looked at him with a half-smile.

How can he answer this kind of kidnapping and threatening question, "My son naturally regards fourth sister as his own sister."

Concubine Xiao Huang was very satisfied with his answer, "Since this is the case, if something happens to Zhu'er, you can't sit idly by, right?"

He Lianyu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect it wrong. Concubine Xiao Huanggui really had such a trick waiting for him, but there was no way. Who made him her adopted son? For those questions just now, it was obvious that he could only choose to nod, otherwise once Disobeying Concubine Xiao Huanggui is very unfavorable to his current situation.

The secret stakes were destroyed, the intelligence network was completely interrupted, and the power in charge of several yamen was also taken back. Now it is impossible for him to regain the trust of his father and regain his previous rights.The only one he can cling to is Concubine Xiao Huanggui. Although she is not favored by the emperor, there is a powerful Empress Dowager Xiao behind her.So even if Concubine Xiao is not favored by the emperor, her status in the harem will not be weakened because of this, as long as he can seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to make a comeback by taking advantage of Concubine Xiao.

"Mother Concubine, what happened to Zhu'er?" She had already weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and immediately made a concerned expression, which did not violate harmony.

"The son-in-law and Zhu'er's close servants all entered the palace to say that she was missing."

He Lianyu showed a shocked expression cooperatively, "What's going on?"

Concubine Xiao Huang rubbed her forehead in annoyance, "If I knew about it, I wouldn't ask people to ask around."

He Lianyu immediately said: "My son, I'm going to find my father now, please arrange someone to look for me, so it will be faster."

"Impossible!" Concubine Xiao Huanggui was startled, if the emperor knew about this matter, would it be okay?When the time comes to stab her to the Queen Mother, her daughter has gone missing because she played too much with the noodle maker. Even if the Queen Mother loves her and pampers her, can she turn a blind eye to this kind of thing?

Concubine Xiao is still clear-headed most of the time, she has already figured out the empress dowager's temperament, no matter how kind she is usually, when encountering such a bottom line, the empress dowager of a country will never forgive the shameless people of the royal family.

"It's such a time, doesn't the concubine want Simei to be well?" He Lianyu was puzzled.

The hidden guards, spies and killers were all destroyed. He Lianyu's sources of information were limited, and basically he could only rely on the close guards who survived by chance to pass them on. It was already a public matter when it was in his hands.

The matter of He Lianzhu was kept secret from the beginning, because it was Su Yan who asked people to do it, so the secrecy work was in place. Even He Lianjin only got the news after a long time since the incident happened. In He Lianyu's situation , It's normal not to know.

Concubine Xiao Huanggui didn't know how to explain to him, but she didn't have time to explain, "Yu'er, I won't be able to explain clearly to you for a while, Zhu'er is very likely to be in danger now, you must arrange someone to help you as soon as possible." Go save her, otherwise..." At the end of the sentence, the circles of her eyes slowly turned red.

She is usually a bit heartless, but He Lianzhu is her own daughter who crawled out of her stomach. When she thinks about her daughter's life and death, she is in a mess.

"Mother Concubine." He Lianyu showed hesitation between his brows, "To tell you the truth, my son's secret guards and spies were uprooted when I went south to relieve the disaster last time, so now even if Mother Concubine takes The knife rests on my neck and I have to send someone to help you find Zhu'er, but Erchen can't do anything about it."

"What!" Royal Concubine Xiao exclaimed, "You said, the last time you went south to help the disaster?"

She remembered that at that time, Dali Temple easily found out the remnants of King Zhao because of the assassination of King Jin. Could it be... Could it be that those were not the remnants of King Zhao, but He Lianyu's forces?

After thinking up to this point, Concubine Xiao's already pale face became even more ugly, "Yu'er, all those people belong to you?"

He Lianyu didn't speak, but the more silent, the more acquiescing.

The reason why I chose to take the risk to tell Concubine Xiao about this matter at this time is actually to create an illusion for Concubine Xiao that "they are a family, and we live and die together in times of crisis", and it is also for the sake of relying on myself in the future. The noble concubine Xiao Huang climbed up and laid the foundation.

However, He Lianyu is an extremely clever person, and he knows the truth that too much is too late, so he showed this kind of emotion as if it was not there, and it really aroused Xiao Huangguifei's compassion.

"Yu'er, it was my concubine who wrongly blamed you." Concubine Xiao came down and said distressedly: "Mother concubine just thought you refused to go so she repeatedly shied away, but I didn't expect..." There were tears in her eyes.

He Lianyu strikes while the iron is hot, "Mother and concubine, although there are no spies, but the minister is still there, and the minister can go to Zhu'er in person."

"Really?" Concubine Xiao Huanggui was overjoyed, "You will really help me find her?"

"Of course, I have long treated Zhu Er as my own younger sister. If something happens to her, I will not stand by and watch. Mother and concubine, rest assured, I will go out of the palace to find her in person."

Concubine Xiao Huanggui was moved to tears. Sure enough, at the critical moment, her family knew how to care about others. As for the emperor, hmph!If he knew that Zhu'er was missing and didn't say anything, he would be wishing for Zhu'er to die on the street.

He Lianyu left the palace.

In fact, it is not that there is no one around him, at least the few guards who followed him to the south for disaster relief last time were not affected.

"My lord, why did the imperial concubine tell you to enter the palace?" the guard asked.

He Lianyu changed from the gentle, courteous and frugal person she had been in front of Concubine Xiao, and put on a cold and distant face, narrowing her dangerous eyes, "He Lianzhu is missing, she asked me to send someone to look for it."

The guard was slightly startled, "Your Highness agreed?"

"Yeah." The subject changed, "I told her that all the forces in my hands were destroyed, so I could only go out and look for them alone. But these words were perfunctory for her, of course it is impossible to look for them alone, so In the big capital city, where can I find someone whose whereabouts are unknown? So you guys have to help me in private. Once you see Helian Shuang, try to kill her. When it comes to me, she only needs to Just turn into a corpse."

The guard found it unbelievable, "My lord wants to kill Princess Yongping?"

The corner of He Lianjin's mouth twitched coldly. If He Lianzhu didn't die, how could he be the only person that Concubine Xiao could "depend on each other"?
In fact, it's not that Imperial Concubine Xiao didn't care about him at all, if she didn't care, it would have been impossible to adopt him under her name in the first place.

It's just that Concubine Xiao's "care" stems from her ambition to compete with Empress Luo. Because she has no heirs, she needs someone who can help her stabilize her status as concubine. He Lianyu happened to be the right candidate.

But compared to He Lianzhu, He Lianyu has always been an outsider, especially now that he has been deprived of power, the space to display his powers has been greatly limited, and he has no value to Concubine Xiao Huanggui.Between a useless pawn and her own daughter, she can only prefer her own daughter.

Therefore, He Lianzhu's life is the biggest threat to him. Only when He Lianzhu is dead, Concubine Xiao will put all her attention on him, and she will completely wake up. She can only rely on him for the rest of her life.

At that time, I will borrow the power of Concubine Xiao to win the favor of Empress Dowager Xiao.Who is qualified to compete with him for the crown prince?
Changing into casual clothes, He Lianyu quickly had someone prepare a horse to ride out, holding a portrait of He Lianzhu in his hand.

In words, he was perfunctory to Concubine Xiao, but in action, he was extremely serious. He really wished he could find He Lianzhu immediately.

Such a great opportunity, there is no such shop after passing this village.

Asking all the way along the street, when passing by the gray alley, I saw a person squatting in front of her, with a wide hood covering her face, and only her thin and slender back could be seen.

"Excuse me……"

He Lianyu only asked two words, and it was obvious that the back of the person in front stiffened, followed closely, and turned around slowly.

Her face was tightly wrapped, only her eyes were exposed.

Seeing him, she seemed a little excited, her mouth squirmed a few times, as if she was involved in a wound somewhere, she grinned in pain.

That's right, this person is He Lianzhu who was stripped of her face last night, but no one can recognize her anymore, even He Lianyu is not that capable of distinguishing the person in front of her from the glamorous one. The beautiful He Lianzhu linked up.

"Have you seen this person?" Even if he was a beggar on the street, He Lianyu would not let go of any hope of finding He Lianzhu, so he opened the portrait in his hand.

He Lianzhu looked at the flowery and jade-like face on the portrait, and then thought that it was all because of her carelessness to introduce the jackal into the door that made her unrecognizable. The hatred in her chest was surging, and she rushed to He Lianyu's legs, "Third, third brother, it's me."

A few short words, but she seemed to have exhausted her entire life's strength.

Before meeting He Lianyu, she almost ran all over the medical clinics in this area, but no matter how much the price was called, no one dared to treat her. This face has become a nightmare for everyone who has seen her. She dare not When I show up again, I am afraid that others will stare at her like a monster, and I hope that someone will recognize her and take her back to be treated and help her recover.

As a last resort, she wrapped her face with a thick gauze. The friction caused her to suffer all the time. The chances of her cheek muscles being affected by her words were higher, so it hurt even more. But He Lianyu was her only hope to go back. Yes, she has to hold onto it and not let go, so no matter how painful it is, she has to endure the words.

"Third brother, I'm Zhu'er!"

His voice was hoarse when he found out that he had been skinned in the morning, so he couldn't quite hear it.

Pearl?

He Lianyu's pupils narrowed slightly, and he took two steps back, carefully sizing up the person who was lying on the ground weakly and looking up at him with his head up.

Her face was covered and she couldn't see anything, but those eyes were somehow familiar.

"who are you?"

Feeling a little vigilant in his heart, He Lianyu tightly clenched the portrait in his hand.

The other party seemed to have no strength to speak.

He Lianyu was impatient, walked over in two or three steps, and tore off the thick gauze covering her face and the hood on her head.

A creepy face loomed before his eyes.

Rao He Lianyu, who had gone through many storms, couldn't help being startled, and his breathing stopped suddenly.

The first thought is that without a face, this girl's life is over.

The second thought was that when she saw her, she pounced on her like a hungry wolf, saying inexplicable words, she should be mentally disturbed.

Rarely felt a bit of sympathy, He Lianyu took out his purse and handed her a ten tael bank note, "Take it to see a doctor!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued to ride his horse to find someone.

He Lianzhu held the bank note with trembling hands, unable to show any expression, she just wanted to cry, but when she cried, the tears would fall on the wound, and she had to hold back.

When He Lianyu rode his horse and walked to the city gate, he happened to meet people from Dali Temple who were handling the case here. The scene had already been cleaned up, and there were no other people around here.

"Little uncle." Seeing Shi Taiqing from afar, He Lianyu greeted him.

This ancestor again, the last time we met, he sent a message for King Jin to solve the case within five days, and this time he sent a message again?
Shi Taiqing swallowed her saliva, although she really didn't want to meet He Lianyu at this time, but she had to go to see her.

"His Royal Highness." Shi Taiqing performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

"Little uncle is here to handle the case?" He Lianyu asked.

"Ah."

He Lianyu glanced over there, and saw the ladder used to climb the city wall during the war.

"What kind of case is so difficult that you have invited all the ladders from the Ministry of War?"

"Uh, it's nothing, it's just a special case." Shi Taiqing was perfunctory, while secretly cursing those idiots who didn't do their job well, why didn't he take off that weird mask for so long? Should someone?

"Isn't it convenient for my little uncle to disclose it to the king?"

"My lord knows that the cases handled by Dali Temple must be kept secret and filed until the real culprit comes out. Otherwise, if there are too many leaks, I will not be able to keep my black hat."

He Lianyu glanced at him, "Okay, it's fine if you don't reveal the course of the case, but at least tell me what your people are doing there, right?"

Shi Taiqing sighed softly helplessly: "It was this morning that someone found something that looked like a mask but not a mask on the wall of the city gate. It is said that it looked quite like a human face, and it scared many people. After the emperor found out, Immediately send an edict to Dali Temple, let us come and solve the case immediately."

"So, does little uncle have any clues?"

"Not yet." The mask has not been taken off yet, where is the clue?

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden exclamation from the Yacha.

"What's the matter?" Shi Taiqing's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly ran over there.

"This is... this is a human face!" The Yamen holding the "mask" kept shaking his hands, he couldn't even speak fluently, his face was full of horror, cold sweat rolled down his forehead in big spots.

Shi Taiqing took the "mask" from his hand and looked at it carefully, then his face changed violently again.

This is indeed a human face, not a "mask", because the back is still stained with a thin layer of grease, flesh and dried blood.

After working on the case for so many years, have you ever seen this thing before?
For a moment, Shi Taiqing only felt that the thing in his hand was heavy.

It's not that he was afraid of this human face, but it's not difficult to guess that the murderer didn't kill the man directly, but he just peeled off a piece of that person's face with a very special and familiar technique , and then hang it on the city wall to show the public.

According to his many years of experience in solving cases, the identity of the victim should be very special, otherwise ordinary people would not be worthy of such a big fight.

He Lianyu had been standing on the periphery of the murder scene. Seeing that Shi Taiqing's face had changed, he took the opportunity to walk in. The first thing he saw was the face of the person in Shi Taiqing's hands, and his brows were tightly wrinkled, "This is...?"

It turned out to be a piece of skin peeled off from the face!
The strange man I met on the way here unexpectedly appeared in my mind.

He Lianyu remembered that she had been calling him Third Brother, and also called her Zhu'er.

Shocked, He Lianyu snatched the human skin from Shi Taiqing's hand and examined it carefully. There was an inconspicuous tear mole under his right eye.

It really was Helianzhu.

Not caring how to shock the scene in front of him, He Lianyu made a decisive decision, he wanted to go back to find that person.

Returning the human skin to Shi Taiqing, He Lianyu remounted his horse and galloped away in the direction he came from without even having time to say hello.

Meet two of his plainclothes guards on a street corner.

Seeing that there was no one around, the guard dared to speak, "My lord, all the subordinates in this area have turned around, and there is no sign of Princess Yongping."

"Because we found the wrong one." He Lianyu's face sank like water, and he tore up the portrait of He Lianzhu in his hand, "From now on, you don't have to look for someone according to He Lianzhu's appearance, and give this king a face." Let me find out the person whose skin has been peeled off."

The guard didn't understand, "What does the prince mean?"

"That person is the real Helianzhu."

The guards were ordered to disperse immediately to act separately.

He Lianyu raised his eyes and looked at the dark sky, his back felt a little chilly.

Although his purpose was to kill He Lianzhu, but what He Lianzhu looked like now was something he never even thought about.

When reprimanding people, many people like to say that if they are disobedient, they will lose their skin in a while. Of course, this is just a habit of saying it, and no one will actually do it.

However, today, he saw with his own eyes that a layer of skin was really peeled off, and it was still the skin on the face.

It is enough to see the insidious means of the people behind it.

For no reason, he shivered.

Who is behind this, why can he be so cruel to a woman?

-

"Jiu Ye, the virtuous king seems to be looking for the whereabouts of Princess Yongping." Xiao Ji said.

Su Yan took a sip of tea, "Give him the man."

He Lianzhu wandered around for a day, but in the end she had no choice but to go back to the concubine's mansion, so she had to go back to her private house, but she didn't know that Su Yan had already arranged someone to wait for her there, originally intending to detain her later It is used, but since He Lianyu is looking for it, then just give it to him.

Xiao Ji frowned, "Master Jiu, if we send people out, wouldn't our work be in vain?"

"No." Su Yan said indifferently: "He Lianzhu will not survive in He Lianyu's hands. Letting him do it is better than our own."

Xiao Ji was startled, would He Lianyu kill He Lianzhu himself?

"The only chance for He Lianyu to make a comeback is Concubine Xiao Huang, but he is not his own son, so there will be more or less estrangement. Only by killing He Lianzhu and making Concubine Xiao's concern become an eternal regret, Concubine Xiao will be happy." It is possible to shift her mind to him, do you think Concubine Xiao Huanggui will continue to ignore him as before?"

Xiao Ji was enlightened immediately, "Master Jiu is more thoughtful."

Su Yan didn't speak any more. He reached out and picked up the six chopsticks on the chess table and threw it, and then played chess according to the points on the chopsticks.

Anyone who has played against Su Yan knows that he is superb at chess, but few people know that Su Yan does not like Go. His favorite is Liubo chess, an ancient game evolved from the military system. It is a game of wit and skill. , press and attack each other until the opponent dies.Therefore, every step he takes is like experiencing a frenzied fight, just as he uses people as chess pieces to make arrangements everywhere.

Xiao Ji took the order to retreat.What Master Jiu said about "give someone to He Lianyu" is naturally not to let them carry someone to He Lianyu and say that this person sent you, but to let them find a suitable opportunity for He Lianzhu to appear in front of He Lianyu. Within He Lianyu's line of sight.

Xiao Ji and the others were able to do these small things with ease.

Therefore, after a quarter of an hour, He Lianyu "found" He Lianzhu.

"Third brother, help me." He Lianzhu was already very weak, if she didn't seek medical treatment, once the wound on her face became infected, inflamed or even festered, she would die soon.

"Pearl, it won't hurt if you bear it a little longer." He gently hugged her into his arms, took out a dagger from his sleeve with his hand on her back, and stabbed it into her back without hesitation.

He Lianzhu, who hadn't had time to react, felt a big mouthful of fishy-sweet stuff popping up in her throat.

"Third brother, you..." He couldn't stop talking, and he was already completely out of breath.

"laugh--"

Withdrawing the dagger from He Lianzhu's body, He Lianjin stabbed his arm without hesitation.

Seeing this, the guards who came in a hurry frowned.

But He Lianyu didn't say a word, his face was a little pale due to blood loss, "Take care of the scene, and I will take people back with me."

The corpse cannot enter the palace, so He Lianyu brought her back to his mansion, and then let someone enter the palace to report.

-

"My concubine, I found Princess Yongping. At that time, the princess was being chased and killed. In order to protect her, His Royal Highness was stabbed in the arm, but in the end, she still couldn't save the princess."

Concubine Xiao Huanggui was in a mess all of a sudden, and shouted angrily, "What do you mean you didn't keep it?"

The messenger mumbled, "That's right...Princess Yongping was killed by an assassin."

Her mind went blank, and Concubine Xiao Huanggui couldn't react for a long time, "Pearl...is she dead?"

"Yes."

"It's impossible!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, showing her helplessness and powerlessness at this moment.

-

At the same time, Wei Yan released some clues intentionally or unintentionally according to Su Yan's instructions. Dali Temple followed the vines to He Lianzhu's private house, and "just in time" caught some of the faces who had already escaped.

In the first trial in the court, yes, I touched the tiger's buttocks, and Princess Yongping raised her head.

Shi Taiqing and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice broke out in a cold sweat. It was neither a trial nor a non-trial.

Let's try it, if there is any shocking content coming out later, the Holy One will probably choose to shut them up forever.

If there is no trial, the case will always be questioned if it is shelved like this.

The two old fellows discussed in private, and decided to enter the palace together and ask for instructions tactfully to test the attitude of the emperor and his old man.
