Leng Yi sighed and nuzzled at the corpse on the bed.

Li Yu turned around in confusion and saw the body. He screamed in fright, climbed up naked, stood by the bed, and trembled: "What's going on? Who, who killed my concubine?"

?who?"

The two of them looked at him with pity on their faces and said nothing.

Li Yu took two steps forward, looked at the golden hairpin carefully, and even screamed: "The officials! The officials sent in to kill my concubine! She's dead! The officials still refuse to let me go."

Ah!"

Leng Yi said: "How do you know it was the official who sent you to kill your concubine?"

Li Yu pointed at the golden hairpin on the concubine's heart: "That! There are dragons and phoenixes on it. It is a royal pattern. For ordinary people, who would dare to use this pattern?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the concubine lying on the back of the big bed suddenly turned his head and looked at him with a smile, which frightened Li Yu out of his wits. He took several steps back and almost sat down on the ground.

The corpse let go of the golden hairpin in his hand, picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Yes, it is indeed a dragon and phoenix in auspicious patterns." Listening to the voice, although it was a female voice, it was quite old, and it was definitely not Li Yu's delicate voice.

The concubine Yu Liuzhu. There was blood on her underwear, but there was no wound. It turned out that the golden hairpin that Li Yu had inserted into her body was caught by her the moment it was about to pierce her body, and the blood on her body was actually

It is chicken blood soaked in silk cotton, which is squeezed out after being pricked in the hand.

Li Yu looked like he was about fifty or sixty years old. The small clothes he was wearing were indeed beady clothes. He looked carefully at his appearance and found that he looked familiar, but he didn't know who it was. He asked in a shocked voice, "Who are you?"

Who? Why are you pretending to be my concubine?"

"The poor nun Feiyi is Leng Daru's bodyguard."

Li Yu turned around and looked at Leng Yi in surprise: "Leng Dayu, what is going on?"

Leng Yi sighed and said: "Because I suspected that the person who killed Baoyi Huang last night was you, my father-in-law! So we set up a plan to verify my suspicion."

"What did you say?" Li Yu was shocked and fidgeted with his hands, "No, no, it's not me! It was the officials sent to kill her! The handle of the dagger is golden, which can only be used by officials.

Tangled in satin!”

"You put on your robe first. Although the master is reclusive, it is not appropriate to expose your breasts in front of her."

In fact, Li Yu was not only showing his chest, he was completely naked. After hearing this, he felt ashamed and embarrassed, so he quickly took off his robe from the screen and put it on casually. Master Fei Yi also stepped out from behind the bed.

He took his Taoist robe and put it on. Then he said goodbye and went out.

Li Yu put on his robe and said to Leng Yi: "Leng Dayu, you said that I killed my Baoyi, it's just..., how could I kill my daughter?"

Leng Yi did not answer directly and asked: "Is there any dagger from the royal family in the house?" "Yes, when Emperor Taizu made me a disobedient prince, he rewarded me with a dagger. I know it was Emperor Taizu.

He gave me a warning not to use weapons in the future, so I never dared to use them, so I kept them. "Can you lend them to me?" "This..." Just take a look, I don't know how to take them.

Let's go. Hehe." Li Yu couldn't refuse, so he walked to a beautiful cabinet in the bedroom with a sullen face, opened it, pointed to a brocade box inside, and said: "This is it. It's in the box. Because I

You can no longer use weapons, so I can't touch it. If you want to see it, just open it and take a look." Leng Yi stepped forward and opened the brocade box with a click. Under the light, there was only a golden satin lining inside.

There was a scabbard on the mat, but there was no trace of the dagger that Song Taizu had given him!

Leng Yi stepped aside and gestured towards the brocade box to let Li Yu see it for himself.

Li Yu stepped forward to take a look, and his eyes were widened. He came over and snatched the brocade box, and poured out all the padding inside. Except for the scabbard, he couldn't find the dagger!

Li Yu's face was earthy, he held the scabbard, looked at the prince, and stammered: "Yes..., I'm sorry..., I didn't mean it, and I don't know when the dagger was given by the emperor."

It was stolen. Ever since I received the dagger given by the emperor, I have kept it in this cabinet and never opened it. I also showed it to anyone, but it disappeared without a trace! It really has nothing to do with me.

If there is any relationship, father-in-law must explain it clearly to the officials..."

At the end of the sentence, Li Yu was trembling with fear. He also knew very well that losing the treasure given by the emperor would be a disrespectful crime. The dagger given by Emperor Taizu was lost by him. This crime

But there is no way to shirk it no matter what.

Leng Yi took a small wooden box from the table, opened it, took out a dagger, walked over, took the scabbard from Li Yu's hand, pointed it at the mouth of the scabbard, inserted the dagger in, and made a clicking sound to prevent the dagger from slipping.

The lock spring that came out locked the dagger. This shows that the scabbard belongs to the dagger!

Li Yu was pleasantly surprised, but he immediately realized something was wrong. He pulled out the dagger and took a closer look. It was stained with blood, and there was a faint smell of blood! It meant that he had recently contracted the disease.

Li Yu panicked a little and asked: "This is..., what's going on?"

Leng Yi said: "This dagger is the murder weapon we extracted from the body of Bao Yi who was killed yesterday!"

"impossible!"

"I actually didn't know that you had such a dagger given by Emperor Taizu. However, after I saw the dagger, I also felt that it belonged to the royal family, so I knew that there must be a hidden secret in it. So I asked King Qi and found out

Got this."

Li Yu's eyes widened, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. He took his dagger and looked at it carefully. He didn't dare to confirm whether it was the dagger given to him by Emperor Taizu.

Because this dagger was Emperor Taizu's warning to him not to use weapons. When he saw the dagger, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. He only looked at it once when he accepted the dagger, and he didn't even pull it out.

I put it in the cabinet and shrank it up. Until now, it has been two years, and I have long forgotten what the dagger looked like. So I didn't dare to confirm. However, the dagger was inserted into the scabbard and fit tightly, which means it is this knife.

What's the explanation for this?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Yu's mind, and he thought of a possibility. However, this possibility made him even more panicked. He trembled and said: "Da Ru..., this... must be a killer sent by the government.

I found this dagger given by Emperor Taizu from my home, killed my Baoyi, and forced me to commit suicide...!"

Leng Yi shook his head and said: "I carefully inspected the scene yesterday, and there was no sign of anyone entering. The doors were all fastened from the inside, and there was no sign of damage from the outside!"

"Why not! The back window is just ajar!"

"That's right!" Leng Yi said: "However, there are no signs of unplugging the bolts around the window, and the footprints on the snow on the ground outside the window were all left before yesterday. Because there was something wrong with your house before.

After I poisoned the pastry, I carefully inspected the front and back of the house, especially the traces on the snow under the rear window. When I inspected yesterday, it was the same as last time. This means that during this period, no one came in.

It's through your back window, so you actually unplugged the window bolt from the inside and left the window ajar."

"No, I have never done this, really! Please believe me, this is the government sent to warn me, including the red crane top and the white silk, they are all from the government

Thing! The officials want me to die!"

"White silk?" Leng Yi smiled faintly, "At that time, you found a white silk hanging on the beam in the lobby and asked me to investigate the case. I carefully inspected the scene and found that the dust on the beam was messed up, and I found

On the pillar next to the beam, there are deformed barefoot prints and handprints formed by sliding! - Those are the dust on the feet and hands of the person who hung the white silk when he slid down the pillar.

On the pillar."

"That's right!" Li Yu said: "The person sent by the government left behind when hanging the white silk ribbon!"

"If they are sent by officials, they must be experts. As an expert who can easily scale the wall and enter the house, he had to take off his boots and socks in the cold weather, and climbed up the pillar with bare feet to hang the white silk ribbon.

?"

"Then..., that's not even possible. Who said a master can't climb a pillar with his bare feet?"

Leng Yi smiled, nodded and said, "That's right."

Li Yu was a little proud and said: "Besides, you said that last time my Baoyi was killed, I opened the rear window, but what about hanging the white silk this time? The rear window was smashed by a latch.

It’s a hole. You reach in and pull out the latch and open the window. If it were me, would I need to do this? Wouldn’t it be over if I just open the door and come out?”

Leng Yi said: "The back window of your bedroom is ajar. There are bare footprints in the snow outside the back window, leading all the way to the damaged window in the back window of the lobby! This line of footprints is still there. Moreover,

The size of the footprints matches yours! You can go and see for yourself!"

Li Yu's eyes widened. He picked up the lantern on the table, not caring that taking away the only lantern would make the room dark. He took it and left the bedroom.

The bedroom suddenly fell into darkness.

In the darkness, King Zhao Tingmei of Qi let out a long sigh. There was really unspeakable sadness in that sound. Obviously, he was lamenting that such a thing happened to his good friend.

After a moment, Li Yu ran back in a panic. Although it was illuminated by a red lantern, his face turned pale with fright. He tremblingly put the lantern on the table, looked at Leng Yi, and said, "I, I don't have it."

I went out through the window! What the hell is going on here?"

This sentence clearly shows that the footprints outside the rear window are exactly what Leng Yi said.

Leng Yi said: "When I saw the footprints, I already guessed that you hung it up yourself. Later, the pastry was poisoned, which further proved this point. Because although the back window was also hidden, I saw that the entire

There are no traces of intruders in the house. And in the snow outside the window, there are no other footprints except the series of footprints you left earlier. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, it is impossible to walk in the snow without leaving a trace.

!So, there is only one possibility, that is, you did it yourself! You put Hedinghong in the cake!"

"No, no!" Li Yu waved his hands wildly, "It's not me! That white silk, the red crane crown, and this golden hairpin are all belonging to the official family! Only the official family can have them!"

"Don't forget, you were once the leader of a country!"

"Impossible! After I surrendered, I didn't bring anything that could only be used by the royal family! I definitely don't have a gold hairpin with a dragon and phoenix pattern like this!"

"This golden hairpin was given by the Empress when Zheng Guofu entered the palace last time to accept the reward from the Empress, right?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said: "The white silk and the red crane crown, how can I have it?"

"You, the Southern Tang Dynasty, are located in the very prosperous Jiangnan, a land of plenty. How could you not have royal things like white silk and crane crown red? Moreover, these are not taboo things. You brought them here, and they don't have anything. If you don't believe me, you can do it yourself

Go check it out.”

After waking up from his dream, Li Yu looked at Leng Yi blankly. He picked up the lantern on the table, turned around and walked quickly into the back room. He put the lantern down and opened a big box. Sure enough, there was a scroll inside.

There is a roll of satin, and the top roll is white silk! And it has been unraveled, the front end has been cut, and the fracture is uneven. There is a pair of gold scissors next to it!

Looking at the silk and satin in the box, Li Yu was completely stunned.

Immediately, he locked the box with a clang, rushed to a standing cabinet nearby, took the key and opened it. There were large and small brocade boxes with red notes on them. Although the light was dim, he still did not hesitate.
