"You...you lied...you said...you said..."
Liu Ming growled in disbelief.
Until his death, he kept his eyes open, staring at the soft little baby on the tree in disbelief.
Sheng Nanxi blinked her big, watery eyes. Her face was full of innocence and her tone was childish:
"I'm not lying to you. You were poisoned by the wine. You have to struggle in agony for several hours before you can report to King Yan's Palace."
"I'm letting you go first now. How does that count as giving you a break?"
The wind was blowing and the snow was falling.
Lying in the snow, Liu Minghun's body was stiff and purple, his right hand still raised forward, as if he was unwilling to grasp something.
But he could no longer answer Sheng Nanxi's questions.
Sheng Nanxi sneered disdainfully, and without even looking at the jade pendant in her hand, she threw the thing directly into the space.
The man in black acted so cautiously, how could he risk exposing his identity and really leave a jade pendant for Liu Ming as a deposit? !
This jade pendant is of very ordinary appearance, and one can tell at a glance that it was bought casually on the street.
It just so happened that Liu Ming and a few other small officials had never seen the world, so they treated this thing as a treasure.
Nancy Sheng followed her usual style of plucking feathers from passing geese.
With a wave of her little hand, she put everything on Liu Ming into the space.
What about the pass to pass through the city, the map, the knife, the toilet basket, the smelly sweat towel...
There is also a wooden sculpture of a naked woman!
Sheng Nanxi looked disgusted as she scanned the dozen or so things that had been put into the space.
Sure enough, I found a small golden object among a pile of miscellaneous things.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was a gold button with some dirt on it!
Take a closer look at the lines above...
It turned out to be... the Dark Dragon Guard logo!
As far as she knew, although the Dark Dragon Guard was the royal shadow guard, it was not under the jurisdiction of the little emperor.
Instead, it is managed by my ambitious mother, now the Queen Mother of Southern Qi.
Sheng Nanxi could figure it out with her toes that a small official like Liu Ming would have no chance to come into contact with the royal guards.
This button was most likely accidentally dropped by the man in black when he came to buy Liu Ming this morning.
After Liu Ming picked it up, he became greedy and planned to take it back to melt it down and sell it for money. That's why 놛 always carried it with him.
In other words, it was most likely the old witch, the Queen Mother, who bribed Liu Ming to harm the Sheng family!
Sheng Nanxi squatted on the tree branch, holding her chin up in thought. Her expression was a little strange.
Isn't Nanqi's uncle the cousin of Empress Dowager Lin? And according to the original book, there is a bit of an ambiguous relationship between the two.
The two of you have such a good relationship, why don't you inform each other before making a decision?
It is obvious that He Guojiu put his second uncle into the exile team in order to monitor the Sheng family and see if he could find some remnants of the King of Qin. Then he could catch them all in one fell swoop!
Queen Mother Lin went to great lengths to send another person to kill the Sheng family directly.
Isn't this a disguised way of ruining Uncle He's plan? !
Sheng Nanxi recalled the extremely bloody love-hate relationship between Queen Mother Nanqi and her cousin, the Prime Minister, as described in the original book. She couldn't help smacking her lips.
It seems that the relationship between the two is not as good as she thought!
This extremely bizarre Southern Qi royal family will probably have some fun in the future!
Sheng Nanxi yawned and waved her little hand in the air again.
Fine and dense white powder fell on Liu Ming's stiff body.
The dark purple color that had just spread all over the body disappeared in an instant, and the body returned to its original color.
This has completely eliminated the evidence that Sheng Nanxi had been here.
With a look of disgust, she threw the stinky sweat towel, toilet stool and naked puppet that she had just put away back onto Liu Ming's stiff body.
Then he quickly returned to the main room of the Sheng family. He quickly changed into the cotton padded jacket he wore before going to bed, and fell into the fragrant and soft quilt.
Tonight, the station finally returned to peace...
However, on the next day, when it was still dawn, a piercing scream streaked across the sky above the station.
"Ahhh! There's death! Help!"
"Eh? Isn't this the exile team's adjutant, Liu Ming? How did he die here?"
"How pitiful! His body has already frozen solid. I'm afraid he died last night..."
"Mother, mother, this guy is carrying a puppet on his body!"
"Hey! You little kids! Go home! What are you doing here?!"
The woman's voice was filled with shyness.
But then, louder noises came from the guest room in the station.
"Ah! Check quickly, are Wang Er and Zhao Wu out of breath?!"
"Grandma! She looks really bad! Hurry up and find a nearby doctor!"
"Oh no! Boss! Wang Er and Zhao Wu seem to be... gone!"
The news spread quickly, and before long, the guards at the post station had the situation under control.
Soon after, the constable and coroner from the nearby county government rushed over.
Except for some officials who were delivering important documents, everyone living in the station was invited to the yard.
Fortunately, Sheng Nanxi had foresight. She woke up the whole family before dawn and had a breakfast from the imperial kitchen.
The little milk bag is full of generosity. She straightens her little chest and waves her little hands.
The table in the room was filled with bird's nest porridge, abalone porridge, eight-treasure porridge, steamed buns and other foods with little odor.
The Sheng family didn't even ask where these foods that looked like those from the imperial kitchen came from.
Knowing that they would be hurried on their way, they all quickly finished their meals.
After Sheng Nanxi coaxed her grandmother, eldest brother and third brother to finish the medicine, several eunuchs came over and invited them to the yard.
Others in the exile group were not so lucky.
Because the incident happened suddenly this morning, the officers in the exile team were all busy dealing with Liu Mingsan's death and had no time to distribute steamed buns to everyone.
Families with better conditions can also fill their stomachs with dry food in their bags.
The conditions were not good. We had stayed in the stable for one night, and the damp and smelly environment disturbed us. We didn't sleep well all night, and now we have to wait for the coroner to investigate the case with an empty stomach. Everyone was as listless as eggplants hit by frost.
The situation of the second branch of the Sheng family was even worse.
Zhang and Sheng Ningxue suffered a lot yesterday, probably more than they had suffered in the first half of their lives combined.
They had been walking with the exile team all day yesterday and were already very tired. But they couldn't fall asleep because they were used to their own beds.
Looking at her now, Zhang seemed to have aged more than 20 years overnight. There was no trace of her former beauty at all!
But Sheng Ningxue was in a worse situation than her. The burns on her face and body were serious, but they were not treated in time. Now many of them have begun to ulcerate.
If I said she looked like a ghost yesterday, if I say she looked like a ghost again today, even ghosts would cry!
Sheng Dehai was beaten up yesterday and his current situation can only be described as extremely miserable.
After sleeping in the stable for a night, the wounds on my body not only did not get better, but many of them became red and swollen, showing signs of infection.
Maybe I caught a cold again last night for some reason. At this moment, I was like a beggar, hiding in a corner, curled up and hugged myself.
Their eyes were red, their bodies were shaking, and they were sneezing one after another.
I always felt in my heart that it was Sheng Yichen's fault.
Not only did he miss out on the reward from the king's uncle, but he also caused him to fall from grace overnight, leading to such a miserable life.
Whenever he looked at the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, his drooping eyes were always filled with deep hatred.
The exiles stood in the cold snow, all freezing to death, praying that the officials could find out the truth as soon as possible so that they could eat something and set off.
The members of the Sheng family probably guessed some of the secrets, and they all secretly worried about Sheng Nanxi.
Sheng Nanxi, however, looked as if nothing had happened and was extremely confident.
Last night, she sprinkled Liu Ming with a drug that could cover up the signs of poisoning. Even with the high technology of the 24th century, it might not be able to detect it, let alone these ancient things.
As for the medicines that I gave Wang Erzhao Wuxia...
Didn't the Dark Dragon Guard come up with such a troublesome poisoning method to avoid being easily discovered the cause of Sheng's death?
Since it was something created by the Royal Shadow Guard, how could it be discovered by a little coroner like this?
Sure enough, not long after, the police sent a message saying that no signs of the murderer were found. All three of Liu Ming had died suddenly. All the exiles were free to leave.
The officials hurriedly gathered the exile team, preparing to let everyone finish their food quickly and continue on their journey.
But at this moment, a voice filled with overwhelming hatred was heard:
"Master, don't you think this is too strange? Master Liu's third son died suddenly after dinner with the eldest wife of the Sheng family."
"Sheng Sanlang is famous for his love of studying deviant things. I think Sheng Sanlang has something to do with this!"
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.
Then he saw Sheng Dehai staring at Sheng Yichen with vicious eyes!
If eyes could become sharp arrows, Sheng Yichen would be riddled with holes by now!
