Chapter 29: Luring the Snake out of its Hole

Chapter 29 Lure the snake out of its hole

No matter what Shen Mingjiao said, the stubborn Wang Dashan resolutely carried out His Highness's instructions.

Shen Mingjiao had no choice but to say: "Then send someone to deliver a message to your highness at the head office!"

Wang Dashan hesitated for a moment and called a guard at the door.

It was not until evening that Feng Lisheng and his group came back with tired eyes.

Shen Mingjiao ordered Haitang to pass on the dishes and waited for several people to finish the meal in a hurry.

Shen Mingjiao finally couldn't help but asked anxiously: "How's it going? Have you met Miss Yun Shu? She..."

Feng Lisheng shook his head apologetically: "Master Zhao, the master of the mansion, has been taken into custody, and the female family members of the Zhao mansion have also been taken into custody. The people sent there found out that the girl Yunshu disappeared three days ago."

Shen Mingjiao was a little disappointed. Although she secretly felt that her sister would never be a concubine due to her personality, women in this world were in a difficult situation. When her sister was kidnapped, she could never imagine what her sister would have experienced in these years.

Therefore, she cannot miss any clues about her sister.

"Have you ever found out what that girl Yunshu looks like?"

"I heard from the maid in the Zhao Mansion that Miss Yunshu has always been veiled."

Shen Mingjiao said "Oh" in disappointment.

Feng Lisheng saw her long eyelashes drooping and poking at the rice with a look of sadness. He couldn't help but said dryly: "It's okay, look for it slowly and you will find it."

Shen Mingjiao responded without emotion, then asked a few people: "By the way, what did you gain from going out today?"

Mentioning this, Feng Wumeng took a sip of tea and said dejectedly: "Oh! Forget it, I have never seen such a mysterious case. If I continue to investigate, I will suspect that the murderer is really some kind of monster!"

Shen Mingjiao was surprised: "Didn't you find any useful clues?"

Although she experienced a bizarre rebirth, she still couldn't believe that there were real monsters in this world.

"We first went to the crime scenes. Except for the fact that the tea table in the house of the richest man in Fang, where the earliest crime occurred, showed signs of being overturned, the other two families did not have any traces of the crime. It can be seen that if the murderer is not a demon, then he is a demon.

It has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities.”

Shen Mingjiao said: "Since there are signs that the desk at the richest man Fang's house has been overturned, it means that those people resisted before they died. This can be regarded as a clue!"

Feng Wu sighed: "That's just because the murderer may not have been proficient in the way he committed the crime for the first time. Princess, you don't know that the scene of the first crime was the home of the richest man Fang. The deceased were scattered in different corners of the house before they died. This

It’s easy to understand, after all, it’s such a big mansion, with a total of nearly two hundred people including the master, maids, wives, and servants. They rarely get together if there’s no big event on weekdays.”

"As for the other two families, Tongxuanfu and Tongzhifu, they may have taken precautions because of the Fang family's massacre. When the incident occurred, except for a few guards who were on guard, almost everyone gathered in the main courtyard. Even so,

In the end, he died silently, which shows how terrifying the murderer is!"

Shen Mingjiao asked: "What about those corpses? Since they were said to be bitten to death, we should be able to tell what bit them, right?"

Although it didn't sound like it could be accomplished by humans, she still didn't want to believe that there really were monsters in this world.

Feng Wu took the tea handed over by Haitang, "We later went to the village where the corpses were parked. Most of the wounds had festered, but judging from the depth of the wounds and the visible bones, it was speculated that they were relatively large animals.

In addition, one of the soldiers guarding the treasury struggled violently before his death. There were several red silk threads clutched in his right hand, which were presumably the strings on the jade pendant worn by the murderer. This was the only physical evidence in the entire case.

.”

Shen Mingjiao held her chin in thought: "Since there is currently too little evidence to identify the murderer, let's change the angle. What is the murderer's purpose? A vendetta, a love killing, or seeking money!"

"First of all, exclude seeking money and killing for love. If the murderer is really seeking money, not to mention the other two families, the Fang family, as the richest man in Luodu, must have a lot of wealth, but the murderer did not take any of it."

Feng Lisheng said: "Jia Tongpan and Xu Tongzhi have good official reputations, but most people who serve as officials in a wealthy place like Luodu are inevitably corrupt. The same goes for these two people. They searched from the two mansions.

The total amount of gold and silver items produced was as high as two million taels. However, although these two people were greedy, they did not cause any loss of life.

As for the richest man, the Fang family, if they can achieve the position of the richest man in Luodu, their hands will naturally be clean, and they will cause a lot of lives. However, the Fang family has a good reputation to the outside world, and almost all Luodu officials from top to bottom have accepted it.

The Fang family’s filial piety money.”

Finally, he concluded: "If it's a vendetta, it's probably related to the richest man, the Fang family."

"If we reason from this perspective, the murderer hates the Fang family for some reason, so much so that he also hates the Luodu officials who protect the Fang family."

Shen Mingjiao: "So the murderer probably stole the treasury money just because he thought it was an ill-gotten gain to gain wealth for the people, or he wanted to use it to get all the officials in Luodu to be convicted."

After all, if Ku Yin cannot be found in the end, then all the officials in Luodu will suffer.

"so…"

Shen Mingjiao looked like Feng Lisheng. The two looked at each other and said at the same time:

"Lead the snake out of its hole!"

The next day, Feng Lisheng ordered the release of all officials. He posted a notice saying that the murderer had been brought to justice. He was a group of criminal thieves who wore sharp dentures on their hands and imitated monsters to kill people.

Although some people were dubious, they couldn't stand it and everyone in the government came out to refute the rumors.

The people were no longer panic-stricken, the streets were lively again, and Luodu City gradually returned to its former prosperity.

Feng Lisheng took this opportunity to place people in the residences of various officials involved with the Fang family.

Shen Mingjiao still felt unwilling to accept the sudden departure of Miss Yun Shu. She invited herself to the Zhao Mansion to check on the situation.

Previously, she had asked Feng Lisheng to ask Lord Zhao about the girl Yunshu.

Mr. Zhao said that Miss Yunshu was a gift from a good friend of his, and he couldn't refuse. He planned to take her back to his house to settle her down, and then send her away after a while with some silver.

And Miss Yunshu always wears a veil, so Mr. Zhao doesn't know what she looks like.

After hearing her plan, Feng Lisheng frowned and refused. After all, no one can guarantee when the murderer will strike again.

However, Shen Mingjiao was determined to go, but Feng Lisheng couldn't resist her in the end. He finally agreed to go with her.

It happened that the Zhao Mansion was recruiting skilled guards on that day. Feng Lisheng planned to pretend with Shen Mingjiao that they were a poor couple who came from other places to make a living.

Shen Mingjiao stared at his beautiful gem-like blue eyes, "How are you going to do this?"

Feng Lisheng took out a tube of medicine and dropped it on his eyes. After a while, the pupils slowly turned black.

Shen Mingjiao looked back and forth in surprise: "What kind of potion is this? It's quite magical!"

Feng Lisheng endured the slight sting in his eyes and said casually: "Some tricks in the world."

"Then...will it be harmful to the eyes?"

Feng Lisheng's expression changed and he shook his head: "No, it's just like disguise."

Shen Mingjiao didn't doubt it, after all, this was an area she didn't understand.

She stared at Feng Lisheng's dark pupils, which were different from before, and exclaimed: "You look pretty good like this!"

Feng Lisheng paused in his heart, lowered his eyelashes, and said casually: "Oh, you mean the one before didn't look good."

Shen Mingjiao didn't seem to notice the strange mood in her and replied casually:

"Of course it's beautiful, but I'm used to seeing your blue eyes, and it's a bit novel to change them to black ones. After all, people are more curious about new things, that's all."

Looking into her beautiful eyes that looked exactly the same as before, for a moment, the depression that had accumulated in my heart disappeared, and there seemed to be a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

The two disguised themselves and arrived at the Zhao Mansion. After a while, the concierge invited them in.

He was brought to the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion.

Butler Zhao asked Feng Lisheng what he did before, could he be a martial artist?

Feng Lisheng said that his family used to run a martial arts school, but later his father became seriously ill and spent all his savings, so he had no choice but to bring his wife to Luodu to make a living.

At the moment, he was dressed in a coarse cloth, with slightly dark skin, thick eyebrows, and strong facial features. He fit the appearance of a martial arts master.

Butler Zhao did not doubt it. After seeing Feng Lisheng's extraordinary martial arts, he directly decided to let him stay.

Then he glanced at Shen Mingjiao,

Shen Mingjiao said hurriedly: "You don't have to worry about me, I will be responsible for helping your husband wash and cook at home."
