Chapter 202 Death of Liu Mang
Liu Mang, who was supposed to be following Zhou Chongzheng, had his pupils dilated and slowly fell backwards.
He was facing Lin Zhiqing, his eyebrows raised and his lips slightly parted, seeming very shocked and unwilling.
But soon, Lin Zhiqing's vision was blocked, and the people from the Dali Temple surrounded Liu Mang.
The people around were frightened and fled in all directions.
Lin Zhiqing walked forward quickly, followed by Lu Huai and others.
She wanted to check on Liu Mang's condition, but was stopped by people from the Dali Temple.
One of the soldiers even pointed at Lin Zhiqing and told him to step back, his tone was very fierce, and he was about to attack.
Lu Huai pulled Lin Zhiqing back and hit the soldier's hand hard with his scabbard:
"Can you move her too?"
The soldier felt pain and dared not respond for a moment.
Lin Zhiqing took advantage of this time to observe his surroundings, pulled Lin Yangyang over, and said a few words into her ear.
Afterwards, Lin Yangyang quietly left the crowd.
The scene was chaotic and no one noticed this.
Zhou Chongzheng had no time to pay attention to the situation here. He reached out to feel Liu Mang's breath, his brows furrowed.
Obviously, the person is dead.
"Master Zhou!" Lin Zhiqing looked worried: "What on earth is going on?"
Zhou Chongzheng did not blame Lin Zhiqing for his rudeness. After all, it was the Dali Temple's negligence.
"Just now I was about to take him back, but for some reason, Liu Mang suddenly started convulsing all over and fell to the ground in an instant."
"He committed suicide by taking poison?" Lu Huai reacted quickly and made this guess.
"No poison pill was found in his mouth, but he was bleeding from all seven orifices. He was undoubtedly poisoned." Zhou Chongzheng's face was not looking good either. The man died under the nose of the Dali Temple.
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing stepped forward again: "Let me see his condition."
Obviously, she didn't trust Zhou Chongzheng.
Zhou Chongzheng didn't hesitate at all and waved his hand quickly.
The people surrounding Liu Mang's body automatically made way for a small path.
Under Lu Huai's protection, Lin Zhiqing squatted down. When she saw Liu Mang's ferocious face and the black blood flowing out of his seven orifices, her heart skipped a beat.
Then, she immediately checked Liu Mang's breathing.
He was indeed dead, and his death was not a pretty sight.
Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes and slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Zhou Chongzheng quickly arranged for people to lift Liu Mang's body.
It seems that they are going to take the person back to Dali Temple.
Eunuch Wang has passed away, and the death of Liu Mang must be reported to the emperor.
Zhou Chong's expression was not good either, as he had to stay and clean up the mess.
"Serves him right." Watching Liu Mang's body disappear into the distance, Lin Yangyang, who had returned at some point, put his hands on his hips, feeling incredibly happy. "This is the fate of those who harmed our Lin family!"
"Sister, be careful with your words." Lin Shi'an acted more like Lin Yangyang's elder than Lin Congli did, fearing that her words would get out and ruin her reputation.
"The punishment of lingchi is indeed not as painful as poison." There was no mercy in Lin Congyan's eyes.
Today, if it weren't for Lin Zhiqing and others, his fate would be even worse than Liu Mang's.
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us anymore, let's go back." Lin Congli shook his head.
At this moment, for the people of the Lin family, this matter seemed like just a small raindrop and nothing special.
In comparison, they are more delighted to survive a desperate situation.
Aunt Mu had already prepared the carriage, and everyone in the Lin family got on the carriage, except Lin Zhiqing.
She and Lu Huai were the last ones to fall behind.
Her face was very calm and she didn't say a word.
"Do you think there's something fishy about this?" Lu Huai could tell at a glance that she was thinking.
Lin Zhiqing wasn't surprised that Lu Huai could guess her thoughts. She nodded slightly and asked, "Why would Liu Mang hide drugs?"
After fighting with Liu Mang for so many rounds, Lin Zhiqing was well aware of Liu Mang's arrogance and caution.
When Liu Mang went out, he did not feel that this was a one-way trip, but instead felt that everything was under his control.
Therefore, he only brought the masters in the mansion and the flute that controlled the white-haired man.
Hiding drugs wasn't like him.
"Do you suspect someone is plotting to murder him?" Lu Huai understood what Lin Zhiqing meant.
"Not really, I'm just a little confused." Lin Zhiqing shook his head.
She had previously suspected that there was someone above Liu Mang, and even thought that this person was the one sitting on the dragon throne.
But now that the matter has been settled and the imperial edict has been issued, if he were the emperor, he would have no reason to go to the trouble of killing Liu Mang in advance.
"The Lin family has already extricated itself from this matter. What you should prioritize now is not Liu Mang's death." Lu Huai stopped and looked at Lin Zhiqing steadily.
Lin Zhiqing was slightly stunned, then raised his head: "Is there anything else?"
She rarely showed such a puzzled look.
Moreover, her eyes were so bright that they reminded Lu Huai of the stars in the sky.
He couldn't help but laugh: "You haven't had a good rest for a long time."
"Ah, that." Lin Zhiqing also smiled: "You are right."
"I've been working from dawn to dusk these past few days, and my face has turned yellow."
"Whatever! I have to get my beauty sleep tonight!"
"Beauty sleep?" Lu Huai was stunned. This was a good word.
He had become accustomed to the strange words that came out of Lin Zhiqing's mouth from time to time.
But somehow, he could always easily understand what Lin Zhiqing wanted to express.
"You don't get your beauty sleep..." Lu Huai stopped talking here.
Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes: "Are you trying to praise me for being beautiful even without my beauty sleep?"
"Cough." Lu Huai coughed lightly and did not comment.
Lin Zhiqing was beautiful and self-aware. She shook her head and smiled brightly: "I think so too."
"The matter has been resolved perfectly. Everyone in the Lin family should be able to sleep well." Lu Huai changed the subject, but he was also sincerely happy for Lin Zhiqing.
"Maybe." Lin Zhiqing's smile faded slightly.
But she quickly thought of something else, and her smile disappeared, replaced by a serious look: "Lu Huai!"
Her little face was puffed up.
"What's wrong?" Lu Huai thought something had happened again and immediately stared at her seriously.
Lin Zhiqing tilted his head: "Didn't I tell you to hide? Who told you to run out?"
Although Lin Zhiqing had made all the necessary preparations, it did not mean that she was completely confident.
So whether it was the Lu brothers and sisters or Jiang Liuyun, she didn't want to involve them and cause the emperor's displeasure.
Especially Lu Huai. Under the operation of the court, the Lu family clinic is still closed until now.
When this matter was mentioned, Lu Huai instantly felt guilty.
He coughed lightly and walked forward.
"Hey, why are you running?" Lin Zhiqing lifted her skirt and trotted after him.
"Didn't you say you only know a little about martial arts? When did you learn swordsmanship?"
"Also, when did you become so eloquent? That official's face turned green just now."
"Lu Huai, tell me the truth!"
