After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won't Leave Me Alone Chapter 247

Chapter 247 Heart-thirsty Gu

Hearing this, Feng Lisheng's expression became more and more condensed, completely disappointed with this nephew who had been treated like a brother since childhood. He sneered and asked:

"A woman who has assaulted my wife many times, I am curious, how do you have the face to say such a thing!"

Seeing that the prince's face became paler, but he still knelt motionless. Feng Lisheng took a deep breath, and looked down at him condescendingly:

"If your current attitude spreads to the court, what will you let the civil and military officials think? Let the censor impeach the emperor's brother for lax family management!

Qi Yu, you have to remember that you are not only Su Qing's husband, you are also the crown prince of a country, with the country and society on your shoulders! "

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at him and left without looking back.

It wasn't until dusk that Feng Lisheng returned to the backyard in a hurry. Shen Mingjiao looked at the tiredness between his brows, and couldn't help feeling distressed, she stepped forward to help him undress: "Go and wash, the food is ready."

Feng Lisheng grabbed her hand: "Don't worry, follow me to a place."

Shen Mingjiao glanced at the sky and couldn't help being surprised: "Now?"

"Well, I'll tell you on the way."

Out of the backyard, Feng Lisheng carried her on the back of the horse, and the horse galloped. The two eventually came to a majestic and eerie complex.

Shen Mingjiao dismounted, looked at the black lacquered wooden door in front of her: "This is Dali Temple!"

Feng Lisheng nodded: "This is the cell for special prisoners in Dali Temple."

While speaking, he took her hand and walked forward, touching her somewhat cold fingers, he frowned angrily. stop. He stretched out his hands and put her slender hands in his palms, and rubbed them back and forth gently:

"I didn't think carefully, I should add a cloak to you."

The cold hands were covered by a pair of warm and generous hands, Shen Mingjiao felt sweet and warm in her heart,

Although this guy is a bit straight, he basically didn't say any love words, but this kind of inadvertent tenderness is more exciting than any sweet words.

But this is outside after all, she shrank her hands uncomfortably:

"Okay, I'm fine, tell me, what are you bringing me here for?"

Feng Lisheng felt that her hands were completely warm, so he said:

"I have had people investigate all the properties under Su Huai's name, and the relevant personnel have also checked. No one knows the whereabouts of the eight million taels of silver."

Shen Mingjiao understood: "Su Huai's mouth is hard?"

"Yes, Su Huai is a man with a tough mind. Torture is useless for such a person. The matter is urgent, so I would like to ask you to help me to see if I can hypnotize him and find out where the money is."

Shen Mingjiao nodded: "Then let's go! But you also know that not everyone in this world can be hypnotized by me."

"It's okay. Your own safety is the most important thing. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."

Unfortunately...they came one step too late after all.

When the two approached the almost closed dark cell, they turned through the maze-like corridors, and finally came to the innermost cell.

But through the faint candlelight in front of the colonnade, I could vaguely see a person lying on his side in the cell.

Feng Lisheng glanced casually, and then his face changed. Seeing this, the cell leader behind him jumped in his heart, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Feng Lisheng turned around and stared at him with a sullen face: "Open the cell door and see for yourself!"

The head of the cell tremblingly stepped forward to open the cell door: When he saw the person lying inside, he couldn't help but take a step back in shock:

"This...how could this be?"

Shen Mingjiao took a few steps forward to take a look, and found that the person lying on the ground had a peaceful face and eyes closed, and at first glance he seemed to be asleep.

But looking at the reaction of the cell leader, it is obviously impossible to fall asleep, but dead.

The jailer knelt down tremblingly with a pale face: "His Royal Highness, this has nothing to do with the humble official! The humble official...The humble official has always sent people to guard..."

Su Huai was an important prisoner personally confessed by their adults. Now that this person has died under his nose, he, the prison chief in charge of guarding, is likely to be questioned.

Feng Lisheng ignored him, stepped forward and rolled Su Huai's eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "Go and ask Wu Zuo to come."

Shen Mingjiao walked to his side: "Is he poisoned? Or committed suicide!"

Feng Lisheng raised his hand to grasp the pulse of the deceased, shaking his head with an ugly face:

"Not sure yet. But for a repeat offender like him, his hands and feet have to be tied and his jaw removed before being locked up. There is no possibility of suicide."

He called the two guards who guarded the cell, and carefully asked all the details from Su Huai's imprisonment to the present.

"...After the adults left, he was very calm. He didn't panic and yell like the usual prisoners. He sat quietly for a while, and it took about half an hour. Maybe he was tired from doing it. , then lay down and fell asleep, turning over three times in the middle, the most recent time was two quarters of an hour ago..."

This is considered the highest-standard prison in the Great Xia Kingdom, and there will never be situations where martial arts masters rob the prison and kill them as written in the storybook.

Because those who can be here are all felons of the imperial court, before confessing, there are special people watching them from morning till night.

To be on the safe side, Shen Mingjiao hypnotized the two guards to prove that they were not lying.

Soon he came over, and after a simple autopsy, he reported to Feng Lisheng in a low voice:

"Judging from the pulse condition, it is preliminarily judged that he died of sudden impatience. As for whether there is any other cause of death, we will have to conduct an in-depth autopsy to find out."

Shen Mingjiao was surprised: "So it's just an accident?" She knew that there was a kind of heart disease, which usually didn't show up, but when it happened, it lost life very quickly.

"But this is too much of a coincidence! But it doesn't make sense if it is poisoned. After all, it is impossible for Su Huai to predict that he will be arrested in advance. Naturally, it is impossible to take poison in advance, unless the poison can kill people at any time..."

Speaking of this, she was taken aback for a moment, and thought of something - Gu worms.

She suggested: "It's better to ask the Wu Tai doctor to take a look."

The cell was too dark, Feng Lisheng ordered someone to carry the body to a side courtyard,

Walking out of the dark prison, Shen Mingjiao asked curiously, "What kind of person is Su Huai?"

Feng Lisheng thought for a while and made a very pertinent evaluation: "He is a very successful politician. His lifelong wish may be to be a powerful minister with a long history. He has a cold heart. To achieve his goal, he can give up everything?

But he is not a complete bad guy, at least during his years as prime minister, he did make a lot of achievements. "

Shen Mingjiao concluded: "In other words, although he is not a good person, he is considered a good official."

"Then the question is, why would such a person choose to embezzle so much money!

Although it is said that there are not many officials who are not corrupt, according to what you said, his lifelong pursuit is to be a high-ranking official and enjoy the power over ten thousand people! It stands to reason based on his status, if he really loves money, as long as he spreads the word, a lot of people will come to pay him respects, as long as he doesn't overdo it, Brother Huang will turn a blind eye when he thinks about it,

Why take the risk of greedy money that should not be touched, and there is still so much money! "

Throughout the history of various dynasties, although there were many big corrupt officials, most of them came from local officials. If they could sit in the position of prime minister, they often cared less about money and more about power in their hands.

Unless one is particularly obsessed with money, and obviously Su Huai is not.

Feng Lisheng nodded: "And the most important point is that since Su Huai began to embezzle eight years ago, the family's expenses have not changed at all, and Su Huai has no big expenses in private, as if the money has never been spent. does not exist."

Shen Mingjiao rubbed her chin in thought: "In other words, she was greedy for this money for someone else! There is someone behind Su Huai!

Now that he was arrested, the people behind him were afraid that he would say something, so they silenced him. "

"It's just that I don't understand why someone like Su Huai would willingly sacrifice his life for someone!"

Half an hour later, the imperial doctor Wu came over, and at the same time Mr. Chen, Minister of Dali Temple, also came.

The witch doctor came forward with a medicine box, and first took the lower pulse as usual. When he saw a thick blue blood vessel on the inside of the corpse's wrist, his expression changed, and he took some blood from the corpse...

After some operations, he said to Feng Lisheng: "It's a heart-addicted Gu!"

Master Chen frowned and thought for a while: "I know a little about Gu worms myself, but I have never heard of heart-addicted Gu."

Wu Taiyi explained: "The heart-thirsty Gu is a very ancient Gu technique in southern Xinjiang, and it has almost been lost today."

Shen Mingjiao asked curiously: "Is this Gu very powerful?"

"It doesn't matter how powerful it is. Mind-addiction Gu is also called the same life Gu. The male and female Gu are placed on two people separately. As long as one of them dies, the other will surely die."

Shen Mingjiao was speechless, so everything can be explained. Once something happened to Su Huai, as long as another person who was poisoned with the heart-addiction Gu was killed, Su Huai could only die silently.

Feng Lisheng asked: "Since the heart-addiction Gu is a very ancient Gu technique, does Lord Wu know who are the people in this world who are capable of cultivating this kind of Gu?"

The witch doctor thought for a while: "After so many years, and after experiencing several major disputes, the southern border Gu art has gradually declined, and many Gu art inheritances have been broken, so it stands to reason that few people know about this heart-addicted Gu art. One. In addition to the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, and the owners of several large villages in southern Xinjiang, there is also a village in northern Xinjiang."

Hearing him mention northern Xinjiang, Feng Lisheng instantly thought of the soul-piercing poison in Fang Dacheng and Qin Yan.

I just don't know if there is any connection between the two!

When we left Dali Temple, the sky was completely dark. Feng Lisheng carried Shen Mingjiao onto the horse, "I will send you back to the mansion first, and then I have to go to the palace to discuss this matter with the emperor."

Shen Mingjiao looked at the sky that had already completely darkened, thinking that he might not be able to see each other for a few days after being so busy, so she couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant.

She looked sideways at Feng Lisheng, "How about I enter the palace with you, we will stay in the palace tonight, and I will return to the mansion tomorrow."

At this moment, Shen Mingjiao was sitting on the horseback, and the two of them were so close that they could almost hear their breath. Feng Lisheng met her brighter and more beautiful eyes under the moonlight, and there was no secret of his friendship in those eyes.

Even if it wasn't the first time he saw her like this, Feng Lisheng still couldn't help but feel throbbing in his heart. He gently touched her head, and his clear voice was slightly hoarse:

"Okay, listen to the princess."
