The villain heroine is strong and sassy
Chapter 176: Jiang Feng Arrives
For the first time, "Yue Li" realized that no matter how strong her spiritual power was and how high her cultivation level was, there were still things she could not do.
It seems that unless the current mystery case is solved, there is no better way.
"Yue Li" stood up and ordered: "I have to rush back to the palace. I will ask Little Emperor Ji for an imperial edict tomorrow morning. I must investigate this case clearly before Jiang Feng and the people from Xuanji Palace arrive."
Xiaobai said anxiously: "Your Majesty! What if this is really the work of ghosts..."
"Yue Li" suddenly turned around, looked at Xiao Bai's worried and nervous look, frowned and said, "Do you even think that Bai Ying did this?"
Xiao Bai suddenly realized: "So the Lord didn't ask any questions because he believed in Bai Ying?"
"Yue Li" remained silent, lowering his eyes for a moment and hesitating. When he raised his eyes again, there was a firm look in his eyes: "I am not familiar with him, but I can feel Yue Li's emotions. Even if I want to reassure her, I will do this
The matter must be investigated!"
"Xiaobai understands. I will wait for you outside the palace gate early tomorrow morning. Let's go to the Lin family's old house together. But what about the people from Beiwu?"
"Yueli" took out a black jade waist badge from his sleeve: "Give this to Jinxiu and tell them my order to stay in the inn and not leave at all!" After saying that, he hurried out the door.
.
Early the next morning, "Yueli" came out of the palace with the imperial edict, and was led by Xiaobai to the Lin family's old house.
The Lin family's old house is located in a remote suburb. There are only a few houses within three miles of it. Because they are so far apart, I couldn't provide much useful information after asking around for a long time.
For a time, the case reached a deadlock.
"Yueli" held the file in her hand and sat under the shade of a tree outside the door of the Lin family's old house. She looked over it over and over again. The more she looked at it, the more upset she became. Finally, she raised her hand to summon a fire and burned the file directly.
Burned it clean.
The officials who followed the case immediately went crazy.
Xiaobai was the closest, and he subconsciously wanted to stop him, but when he saw that it was Phoenix Fire, he had to retract his outstretched hand, and said with a look of resentment: "Your Majesty! How can we deal with the Dongliu Kingdom after burning the files?
The Lord explains?”
"Yueli" stood up and looked at everyone with disapproval: "Why are you panicking? Can't we just conduct another survey?" After saying that, he turned around and walked into the door of Lin's house.
Inside the house, all the corpses had been carried away, leaving only a scene of snow and blood melting into blood ice.
The file states that the reason why the case was concluded to be the work of the Ghost Sect was because a Yama Edict was found at the scene.
When I came to the study, the box containing Yama's edict was put away together with the token. Only the undetectable fly ash on the desk left traces of the existence of the wooden box.
Seeing this, "Yueli" ordered: "Where are the wooden box and token?"
Considering that she had burned the file before and now wanted such important evidence to be presented in court, those people naturally did not dare to hand it over to her again, and they all shied away and said it was in the hands of the king.
"Yue Li" sneered, turned around and whispered instructions to Xiao Bai.
Hearing this, Xiaobai was suddenly startled and looked worried: "Your Majesty..."
"Don't worry, just bring it!"
Xiaobai had no choice but to obey his orders and quickly left and returned. Holding a square wooden box in his hand, he walked in in full view of everyone.
"this……"
"Master Li, isn't the evidence in your office?"
"Nonsense! Send the evidence back quickly. If you destroy the evidence like this, I will definitely testify against you in front of the king!"
Xiaobai carefully placed the wooden box on the desk. Seeing that the wooden box fit perfectly with the traces, he turned to look at "Yueli" and nodded.
At this moment, "Yue Li" suddenly understood something.
Previously, she thought that the token she received came from the Ghost Gate, but now it seems that the token is just bait, and the big fish waiting for her is her!
Want to frame her and put the blame on her?
"Yueli" smiled a little coldly: "It's really interesting."
Seeing her like this, Xiaobai shuddered involuntarily, looked at the wooden box and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to take this wooden box back?"
"Didn't they just say that the evidence is in the government?
Yamen?" With that said, "Yueli" turned around and looked at the three people behind her, half-smiling but not smiling: "Then let's go back to the Yamen together and see if the envoy has the evidence you want."
The three of them were so frightened that they were sweating like rain. How could they dare to let "Yue Li" go back to the government office with them? So they had to ask people to rush back to collect evidence.
Within an hour, the wooden box was delivered to Lin's house.
When there were two wooden boxes and two Yama's Edicts in front of them, the air seemed to freeze suddenly. The three of them stared at "Yue Li"'s back with wide eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, and they identified her as the murderer in their hearts.
Xiao Bai subconsciously looked behind him and saw the three of them breathing cautiously, giving them a sympathetic glance.
"Yueli" sat in front of the desk, picked up the token and put the two pieces together. The token triggered the mechanism and made a crisp sound.
At this time, there was only a "pop" sound, and "Yueli" looked up and saw the three people falling to the ground one after another, with a look of despair on their faces. She could only shout "My life is at stake" and remained silent.
He withdrew his eyes and looked at the token in his hand.
After a long while, I still haven’t seen the token drop out of the mailbox of the mission.
"Yue Li" breathed out a sigh of relief, threw the token on the table, and said coldly to the three of them: "With such expressions on your faces, you must have concluded in your hearts that the murder of the Lin family was committed by this envoy myself?"
The three of them looked at each other, no one dared to speak.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Jiang Feng of Liuyung Pavilion can testify that this case has nothing to do with Miss Yueli!"
"Yue Li" was slightly startled on her face, and slowly lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
You took every precaution, but you still waited for him?
"Yue Li" felt a little impatient, her brows knitted together involuntarily, and she raised her eyes to look at the door.
Not long after, Jiang Feng walked slowly into the study, followed by five or six men and women. Judging from their appearance and dress, they were all traders' lackeys. There were one or two who looked a bit familiar.
"Yueli"'s expression suddenly changed, and she said in a deep voice: "Jiang Feng, are you following me?"
Xiaobai reacted in time, pointed at one of the middle-aged men wearing coarse cloth and a straw hat, and said with a look of realization: "Aren't you the boatman who punts the boat?"
The man responded timidly: "She is young, girls have good memories!"
Jiang Feng looked like he was about to say something but hesitated. He turned around and said to Xiao Bai, "Send the three adults and witnesses back to the government office first."
After everyone dispersed, Jiang Feng turned to look at Yue Li with a complicated look on his face.
At this point, "Yueli" couldn't help but smile coldly: "I don't know Jiang Feng, Mr. Jiang, why are you looking for me today because of Ironwood Island?"
"Yueli... do you know what kind of undercurrent you are in?" Jiang Feng answered the question in order to try to avoid the topic of Ironwood Island.
The owner of Ironwood Island died tragically before and after, and then there was the massacre of the Lin family in Liuyung Pavilion. Once these two things happened, she would face a crusade from Xuanji Palace at any time, and might even cause a fight between good and evil factions.
"Yueli" said coldly: "Is this the reason why you follow me?"
Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and said sincerely: "Why keep track of these trivial things? Liuyunge's spies are all over the country. You are traveling with Beiwu's convoy. It is easy to attract so many people. If you just inquire a little, what else don't you know?"
"Yueli" paused for a moment, and the slightly fierce expression before softened: That's right, is there anything in the world that they, Liuyun Pavilion, can't do?
But she was too nervous for the moment and forgot about his abilities.
Thinking of this, "Yueli" chuckled: "It seems that Mr. Jiang is much better informed than me, so you knew that the Lin family had been massacred early in the morning, and even waited an extra day to wait for these people, and then you got it today.
Are they here to testify for me?"
Jiang Feng said: "Yes!"
The smile on "Yue Li"'s lips disappeared little by little, and she looked at Jiang Feng with her red eyes, somewhat confused as to what he meant?
She killed the people from Ironwood Island. Shouldn't he stand on her opposite side and fight each other?
"What exactly do Mr. Jiang want?"
Jiang Feng's Adam's apple twitched, he hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I want you to investigate the case with me and wipe out the Lin family."
Once the matter is investigated, I believe that you and Guimen are absolutely innocent and will not do this!"
"Yueli" narrowed his eyes: "Do you believe it? Why? Just because it is me who is being targeted?"
Jiang Feng took a step forward and said firmly: "Not bad!" qs
Hearing this, "Yueli" fell silent.
Looking at Jiang Feng's sincere face, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly he couldn't say it.
That day when she killed Tie Wushuang, she intentionally or unintentionally wanted to avoid Jiang Feng.
Firstly, I don’t know how to face it, and secondly, I want to avoid trouble, but now it’s inevitable to have someone force me to come to my door.
"Yueli" thought for a moment, stood up slowly, and said quietly: "Master Jiang, if you want to investigate the case for your Liuyun Pavilion people, I can give up this position. I will go back and meet the Lord of Dongliu in a while..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Feng's hand behind his back suddenly stretched out, holding a bright imperial edict in his hand: "Yueli, where do you want to push me now?"
"Yueli" was speechless.
She frowned involuntarily and thought to herself: Mr. Jiang, who claims to be smart all his life, is he pretending to be stupid today or is he really stupid? Can't he see that she doesn't want to be with him?
After a moment of silence, "Yueli" curved her lips and chuckled: "Okay! Now that Young Master Jiang has obtained the imperial edict, I can relieve myself of this heavy responsibility."
With that said, she walked around the desk in front of her and walked out the door.
The next moment, Jiang Feng suddenly grabbed Yue Li's arm, clamping his fingers so tightly that his knuckles turned pale.
"Yueli" was in pain, and her face was as cold as frost: "Let go!"
Jiang Feng almost gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You are so unwilling to see me?"
"That's right! Now Mr. Jiang finally doesn't want to act stupid and pretend to be dumb?"
The ends of Jiang Feng's eyes were slightly red. When he spoke again, there was an imperceptible tremor in his voice: "Why? If it's for Tiemudao, Jiang Feng has never had the intention to embarrass you for them. Besides, I will find a way to help you with those things."
Speak clearly to Xuanji Palace."
"Yue Li" frowned in confusion: "What are you talking about? It is a fact that I killed Tie Wushuang, and it is also a fact that I am a member of the ghost sect. Could it be that Mr. Jiang still wants to say that he is waiting for me to marry you?"
For a moment, Jiang Feng's hand clamping down on "Yue Li"'s wrist couldn't help but tighten a little more.
He didn't know what was wrong. It was clear that he had promised her a courtyard, a small house, a fence, a swing, and flowers and plants.
In just over half a month, why has everything changed?
"Yue Li...what do you want me to do to you?" At this moment, Jiang Feng frowned and looked into her eyes, suddenly stunned.
