After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 36 Small Dog

Feng Lisheng pointed to the cabinet.

Shen Mingjiao took out the book and looked at the words on it. She seemed to feel more familiar than yesterday. At this moment, she was faintly aware of something strange in her heart.

Pass the book to Feng Lisheng and ask him to help keep it.

Feng Lisheng flipped through it casually and frowned: "What are you looking at? Your words don't convey what you mean!"

Shen Mingjiao paused, "If you take a closer look, do you feel anything special?"

Feng Lisheng looked at it carefully again. Then he shook his head, saying that he saw nothing.

Shen Mingjiao became even more confused. Could it be that last night was her illusion, but her intuition was not. Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped worrying.

Then he asked: "By the way, how is the investigation of the case going?"

While talking, the two of them had already left the yard.

Feng Lisheng said: "Currently Mrs. Lian is the most suspicious."

"Then what was her motive for killing?"

"We have sent people to carefully check the details of Mrs. Lian's family. His father was once a clerk at Fang's Rice Shop. Later, he was accidentally beaten to death by the steward. In the end, the Fang family only paid a little money to settle the matter."

Shen Mingjiao frowned. She didn't think Mrs. Lian was a person who could go to such lengths to avenge her family.

"I think Mrs. Lian is indeed the biggest suspect at the moment, but her motive for committing the crime should not be revenge."

At this point, the two of them stopped in their tracks. If this was the case, then their previous reasoning about the suspect's murder motive would be overturned.

Feng Lisheng waved his hand: "Let's wait until we catch the person first."

Shen Mingjiao said "Oh", "Catch the murderer sooner so that we can go back sooner."

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Lisheng leaned forward fiercely, and the material on her chest brushed the tip of her nose. The clear breath enveloped her,

Shen Mingjiao tilted her head uncomfortably, "What are you doing!"

Feng Lisheng raised his hand and took a leaf from her hair.

Shen Mingjiao didn't care and smoothed her hair casually.

Not far away, there was a pair of eyes staring at the two of them.

…

Feng Lisheng left the Zhao Mansion and returned to the rented house.

Feng Wu hurried over and said, "Your Highness, that flower farmer is dead!"

Feng Lisheng frowned: "What's going on?"

Since they felt that Mrs. Lian was suspicious, they checked everything about Mrs. Lian, including the servants who had been in contact with her.

From the comments made by the servants, it can be pieced together that Mrs. Lian is very good at raising small dogs, or it can be said that she is very good at controlling animals.

One of the flower farmers saw with his own eyes that Mrs. Lian controlled a small dog to bite the throat of a maid. The flower farmer quietly quit his job because he was too scared.

Feng Wu looked a little ugly: "The food was poisoned."

"But who could be caught doing it?"

Feng Wu shook his head: "The food is prepared in the kitchen. The boy who delivered the food said that he fell down for no reason on the way."

Feng Lisheng frowned and thought: "We will wait until the suspect Cai Lian is taken into custody first."

Feng Wu hesitated and said: "But now the only witness, Hua Nong, is dead. There is not enough other physical evidence at all. How can we catch him?"

If no strong evidence can be produced, even if Feng Lisheng is the prince, he cannot arrest people casually.

It has been previously verified that after the incident of the three families that were wiped out, the dozen or so small dogs given by Mrs. Lian were also missing.

After careful investigation, it was discovered that there were small dog footprints that had not been covered up at the crime scene.

And according to the descriptions of nearby neighbors, the dog barking on the night of the incident was indeed louder than usual.

But these alone cannot prove that Mrs. Lian is the murderer.

Feng Lisheng raised his eyebrows: "Since there is no evidence, then force her to give evidence."

Feng Wu instantly understood what he meant, thought for a while and said: "My subordinates asked Mrs. Lian to try to lure Mrs. Lian to the yard where Xi Quan was kept, and then stimulated her with words, telling her that she was the murderer of the family massacre, and motivating her to kill.

Heart.

When she takes action, my subordinates will lead others to capture her."

Feng Lisheng nodded: "Be careful with her eyes."

Feng Wu smiled and waved his hand: "Your Highness, don't worry, her ability looks mysterious. However, according to my subordinate's analysis, if she is a determined person, she will not be affected."

Feng Lisheng nodded lightly, and when he thought of something, he reminded: "Don't let the princess get involved."

"Your Highness, don't worry. The courtyard where the fine dogs are kept is in the most remote part of Zhao Mansion, far away from the main courtyard where the princess is?"

…

Shen Mingjiao wanted to ask Mrs. Zhao about the book. However, Mrs. Zhao had been lying on the bed half asleep with a heavy look on her face all morning, so she didn't have the nerve to disturb her.

After lunch, Xiaodie came over mysteriously:

"Sister Gillian, when I just went to get the meal, I heard from Aunt Wang in the kitchen that that girl Yunshu is back again!"

Shen Mingjiao stopped pruning the flower branches.

Previously, she felt that the affairs of the girl Yunshu were weird, so she asked Feng Lisheng to send someone to Jiangnan to inquire. But she continued to stay in Zhao Mansion, waiting for the person who inquired about the information to come back.

After all, the situation of that girl Yunshu is very suitable for her sister.

But now that girl Yunshu appears again, at this juncture...

She couldn't help but ask: "Then where is she now? Sir, he didn't say anything!"

As for Zhao Ke's hatred towards Mrs. Zhao, when he learned that Miss Yun Shu ran away when he was in trouble, it stands to reason that he would never take her back again.

Xiaodie said, "I heard that Mrs. Zhao lost her temper, so she sent people directly back to her old yard and told them not to allow anyone to approach."

"I heard from Aunt Wang and the others that for the sake of my friends, I didn't kick them out directly."

…

Shen Mingjiao left the yard and came to a secluded place. She drew out a loud arrow and threw it into the air. After a while, no one came.

Thinking of Feng Lisheng's plan to arrest Madam Lian today, Shen Mingjiao just pretended that everyone had been transferred away. After all, Madam Lian had such abilities and it was really difficult to deal with them.

And this is indeed the case. At this time, Feng Wu led everyone to follow Mrs. Lian.

The maid named Xiao Rui volunteered to act as bait and led Mrs. Lian to the yard where the fine dogs were kept.

Shen Mingjiao originally planned to go back to Mrs. Zhao's yard.

But in his mind, he suddenly remembered that year, in order to protect her, her sister pursed her lips even though she was very scared. She straightened her thin back and led the bandits away. Shen Mingjiao uncontrollably walked towards the courtyard where Miss Yun Shu lived.

go.

She knew that girl Yun Shu was weird, but she was there. She always felt that what if she was really her sister!

She turned left and right all the way, becoming increasingly remote along the way, but she walked extremely smoothly, which showed that she had been here many times before.

From a distance, she saw that the previously closed door was ajar. Her heart lifted, and she stepped into the yard hesitantly step by step.

It's just that... the moment she stepped into the courtyard, her heart suddenly suddenly felt for no reason, and she instinctively felt danger.

Subconsciously, I raised my feet to rush out, but heard a creak and the old wooden door slammed shut.

Shen Mingjiao turned her head, and when she saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, her pupils shrank sharply!

She saw a dozen thin, dark-furred dogs standing silently in the courtyard, staring straight at her with pairs of abnormally red eyes.

Shen Ming took a step back and subconsciously reached for his waist to draw out the ringing arrow.

Just as he raised his hand, a high-pitched voice came from his ears:

"Stop her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the thin dog closest to her suddenly jumped up, quickly rushed towards her arm holding the sounding arrow, opened its sharp teeth and bit into the sounding arrow she held in her hand. Its sticky mouth brushed against it.

The palm of her hand.

Shen Mingjiao felt a chill running down her spine for a moment, and she froze and did not dare to move.

Looking at the slender, muscular and thin dogs in front of me, I unconsciously thought of the murder case in Luodu City and the people whose throats were bitten.

The thin dog was originally a hunting dog. Because of its strong memory, keen sense of smell, long hind limbs, well-developed muscles, good at hunting, and amazing explosive power, it was adopted by some noble children.

She squeezed her palms hard, tried to calm down, and looked towards the source of the sound.

Mrs. Lian was seen standing quietly not far behind her. And at her feet, the maid named Xiaorui was having her hands and feet tied, whining at her.

Mrs. Lian kicked the person away, looked up at Shen Mingjiao, and smiled softly: "Should I call you Lady Feng, or Princess Su?"

Shen Mingjiao was not surprised at all that she found out his identity. After all, she had a plan to trap him in this stall, so she naturally had an agenda.

Shen Mingjiao asked directly: "Tell me, your purpose?"

"Don't tell me you want to threaten Feng Lisheng with me!"

She sneered helplessly: "I think you should have heard that His Royal Highness Prince Su admires Su Qing, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Su, and he only had to marry me because he had no choice but to marry me. In the eyes of the prince, I am just a decoration in name only!"

Mrs. Lian sneered: "So what, no matter how famous you are, you are still Princess Su. I don't think His Highness Prince Su would be unhappy if I exchanged my life for Princess Su."

Shen Mingjiao also sneered back at her: "How naive are you? Do you think I can compare to the 20 million taels of silver lost in Luodu City's treasury?"

Shen Mingjiao saw that Mrs. Lian's eyes flickered when she mentioned twenty million taels of silver.

At the entrance of a small courtyard not far from here, Feng Wu led everyone to see Mrs. Lian entering the courtyard from a distance. Two guards lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity flew over. "The person is missing. There is a secret passage in the courtyard!"

Feng Wuyi was stunned, and for some reason he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He couldn't help but ask: "Where is the princess?"

Before he finished speaking, a woman's sharp voice came from the small courtyard not far away:

"Let me go, or you'll have to wait for your Princess Su to be torn to pieces by little guys like me!"

Feng Wu's heart suddenly suddenly turned around and he looked around.

The door to the opposite courtyard opened at some point. In the courtyard, Shen Mingjiao was surrounded by a dozen dexterous and fierce dogs.

Feng Lisheng, who was leading Zhao Ke over, happened to see this scene.

His pupils trembled, and his body, which had always been as tall as a pine tree, couldn't help but stumble forward!

Zhao Ke, who was following Feng Lisheng, was also stunned.

"Lian...Lian'er...you...what are you doing..."

Mrs. Lian didn't even look at Zhao Ke, but stared at Feng Lisheng:

"Prepare a carriage for me, or else——"

As soon as she glanced at it, those thin dogs immediately opened their mouths and bit into Shen Mingjiao, as if they could tear the person into pieces in the next moment.

They were obviously specially trained and moved very fast. Even the most powerful archers could not save people in such a fast time.

Feng Lisheng saw Shen Mingjiao shaking her head desperately and winking at him, signaling him not to be impulsive.

Because she knew that Mrs. Lian would never let her go.

Feng Lisheng could no longer care about this. He only knew that he had once again put Shen Mingjiao in danger.

He said without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you. As long as you let her go, I will send you out of the city right away..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Mingjiao quickly pulled out a hairpin from her head and plunged it into the neck of a thin dog in front of her with lightning speed.

The thin dog howled and quickly ran out of the yard, howling.

Immediately afterwards, she rushed forward, tightly covered Mrs. Lian's eyes and dragged her out.

When Feng Lisheng saw this, he quickly used Qinggong and flew over in a few steps.

But at this critical moment, Mrs. Lian moved her finger,

More than a dozen thin dogs exploded with ferocity, roaring and rushing towards Shen Mingjiao.

Shen Mingjiao instinctively took a step back, looking at the sharp teeth that were gradually approaching and meeting those scarlet eyes.

For some reason, the redness in his eyes seemed to gradually enlarge and separate in slow motion.

Her brain seemed to have entered that strange state again, and the contents of yesterday's book seemed to gradually come to life.

She gathered her mind and looked into those red eyes again,

She seemed to be able to hear the shrill female voice hidden deep in the dog's mind:

"Yes...just like this...bite his throat..."

Shen Mingjiao's heart moved. She stared closely at those eyes and said word by word in her heart:

"Stop what you're doing."

This change happened in just a moment. Feng Lisheng's eyes were wide open as he stared at the sharp teeth that were gradually approaching Shen Mingjiao's neck.

Mrs. Lian, whose eyes were covered, laughed loudly: "You think I can't control them if I cover my eyes? Haha, I have raised the little guys for so long. Even if I don't need hypnosis, as long as I make a move, they will

…”

Her words stopped abruptly.

Just when the thin dog's sharp teeth were about to bite Shen Mingjiao, it slowly stopped and then lay quietly on the ground. A pair of scarlet eyes slowly became gentle.
