Chapter 160: Suspicion

The Danzhen Palace fell into an uncharacteristic silence. The doctors all had serious faces and did not dare to say anything. They stayed outside to block the others. Only the young Qiao Yu faced the woman's body on the stone table and sighed with regret.

Take a breath.

He didn't know this woman, but earlier in the day, he heard the patients mention Feng Siniang like a joke, saying that she and Pavilion Master Xiao fought over a male favorite, which attracted many people in the market outside to watch.

I was still secretly wondering how Pavilion Master Xiao, who always behaved indifferently, would fall into such strange rumors. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, shocking news came from outside. Feng Siniang was quietly murdered near Tianzheng Mansion.

killed.

Under the already bizarre rumors, this unbelievable death undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, causing the whole city to panic.

Qiao Yu's eyes changed in an instant. He stretched out his hand to check carefully. His body was still warm, and his expression was as calm as a sleeping corpse. Judging from the gorgeous clothes and well-maintained skin, he was indeed a noble from the imperial capital, but

There are several sword wounds on her body. They should have been left not long ago. The wounds have not healed completely. They should have experienced a big fight. What kind of identity did a noble woman hide?

Leave this kind of injury?

There are not many things about Feng Siniang in the imperial capital. She doesn't seem to be in Tianyu City often. When she comes back occasionally, she is obsessed with the land of wind and moon. She is a woman with a very bad reputation.

His eyes gradually converged on one place. The only real fatal wound was on his chest, which penetrated his body. The bright red blood stains were like blooming flowers, staining his clothes. How could he maintain such gentleness under such a fatal blow?

smile?

It was as if this person already knew everything and still chose to accept the result calmly. When he heard the patient mention this person, he still guessed that she was an arrogant and domineering woman who was not easy to mess with. It was impossible no matter what he thought.

He is a person who will surrender without any resistance in the face of death.

There was a gentle knock on the door, which brought Qiao Yu's complicated thoughts back to the present. He rubbed his eyes in confusion, opened the door a thin crack, and took a look outside.

"Palace Master, Mr. Feng has arrived." Doctor Zhao spoke carefully and pointed behind him secretly. Qiao Yu followed his gaze and looked over, and sure enough he saw a white-haired old man sitting in the back hall. His face was peaceful.

He could not see his current emotions, with his hands on his knees and a cane placed beside the chair. Doctor Zhao quickly answered, pointed to the body on the stone table, and reminded in a low voice, "You have only been in office not long ago."

I have never met the old man of the Feng family. He was originally the minister of the Mo Pavilion and the Imperial Grand Administrator. He resigned many years ago and went home to take care of himself. He is the father of Feng Siniang."

"It's pitiful for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift." Qiao Yu murmured, and Dr. Zhao sighed regretfully, "The old man usually raises birds and flowers. Eight years ago, my little daughter was assassinated.

People who can't stand the excitement also go there, who knew something like this would happen again, hey."

"Eight years ago?" Qiao Yu rolled his eyes, seeming to realize something. He grabbed Dr. Zhao's hand and asked softly, "What happened eight years ago? Tell me!"

"You don't know about this?" Dr. Zhao's jaw was stunned, and he couldn't help blurting out in surprise, "Master Qiao never mentioned such a big thing to you? Tianzheng Mansion was destroyed eight years ago, and the wife of the pavilion owner is the Feng family.

My little daughter!"

"Ah?" Qiao Yu opened his mouth wide and his eyes changed slightly. He was even more surprised than Dr. Zhao. He naturally knew about the Tianzheng Mansion extermination case, but he still knew that Pavilion Master Xiao's mother was the daughter of the Feng family.

It’s the first time I’ve heard of it!

Qiao Yu was secretly shocked. After all, Pavilion Master Xiao is still the grandson of Mr. Feng? How come such a close relationship has never been mentioned in a place like the Imperial Capital where cliques and selfish interests are the most serious?

His peripheral vision glanced at Feng Siniang involuntarily, and he was obviously doubtful - she was found near Tianzheng Mansion, and she just had a conflict with Pavilion Master Xiao this morning, so there wouldn't be any complications here.

causal relationship, right?

It is not his duty to investigate the case, but if all the current events are connected together, it always makes people feel vaguely uneasy.

Is it really such a coincidence? Or is there... something else hidden?

"My little ancestor, you should take care of the matters at hand first. I estimate that a few people will be coming soon. You should hurry up and check how Feng Siniang died!" Dr. Zhao complained and shook him off.

, turning his head slightly to look at the curious boy next to him, Qiao Yu just pursed his lips casually and shrugged, "What else needs to be checked for such an obvious cause of death? It can be seen at a glance that she was injured by a kind of thorn.

The weapon pierced the chest, and the heart and ribs were broken together. He died quickly and painlessly..."

"You, you, you..." Dr. Zhao covered his mouth and quickly advised him, regardless of the bright eyes that were looking at him from behind, "Don't say it so directly for a while, please be more tactful, okay?"

"

Qiao Yu was gagged by him and had no choice but to blink his eyes. Doctor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and began to complain in a low voice: "The medical skills at such a young age are indeed amazing, but you should curb your outspoken temperament.

Don't think that you can't offend someone if you didn't kill them. Trouble comes from your mouth! You have to remember this!"

"I know, I know." Qiao Yu responded impatiently and said gloomily, "As soon as everyone is here, please go to the front hall together. I will come later."

He locked the door of the room with his backhand, and then finally checked it carefully again. If he looked at it from the perspective of a doctor, there was really nothing to dig into. However, the too peaceful expression on the other person's face always seemed to matter.

This made him a little confused. It didn't look like she had felt severe pain before she died. Could it be that someone deliberately relieved the pain for her?

Qiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and his head was about to burst with irritation. He raised his hand to press the scar on the corpse's chest. Sure enough, he felt something was wrong. He quickly searched the room for his medicine boy: "Alan, Alan!"

"Here he is!" The little medicine boy, still holding a knife in his hand, popped out from nowhere. He quickly wiped the sweat on his face and asked hurriedly, "I'm here! Palace!"

What did the Lord call me for?"

"Take my token and go to Wangyue Tower and invite the Moon Saint over."

"Ah?" Alan stood on tiptoe reluctantly, glanced at his palace master cautiously, and muttered, "No, can you not go?"

"No! Go quickly!" Qiao Yu cursed, and when he saw the little medicine boy, he immediately changed his face to look like he wanted to cry.

Qiao Yu secretly sighed and frowned slightly. He was a doctor. He knew nothing about magic. He could only ask the Saint of Sacrifice Star Palace for help. If Feng Siniang was really killed before her death,

If she deliberately alleviated the pain, she would most likely die at the hands of an acquaintance, or even commit suicide!

But the Star Sacrifice Palace has caused a big problem this time. The master of the palace was transformed from the monster Earthbound Spirit, and the Star Saint used forbidden magic to paralyze all the Forbidden Army troops in the capital. Two Fa Zhus were killed one after another. Now this hot spot is

No one is willing to take over Shantao, and they don’t know what kind of punishment the Holy One will take. Now even the remaining Sun Saints and Moon Saints are being ostracized. It’s no wonder that even one of his little medicine boys is unwilling to go there.

Find someone.

Alan lowered his head, not daring to talk back to the palace master anymore, so he had to put down the medicine tray in his hand and ran out. He lowered his head without even looking at the road, and bumped into Feng Sanniang head on. Alan staggered and touched

He squinted his forehead and took a few steps back. Before he could open his mouth to apologize, he was met with a stern reprimand: "You can't walk without eyes? You're running rampant. It's not like you're dead. Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

"I'm sorry!" Alan immediately bent down and bowed. Although he was young, he was already well versed in the ways of survival in the imperial capital.

Feng Sanniang pushed him away angrily and ran to Master Feng angrily. Then she turned to look at the closed door. Her eyes turned red instantly and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Sit down first, where are your two brothers?" Mr. Feng comforted his daughter very calmly. Feng Sanniang adjusted her breathing to hold back her sobs and said in a low voice, "Class has just ended in the lecture hall, and someone has been sent to inform her.

, we will arrive a little later, dad... fourth sister, fourth sister is..."

"Let's wait until Palace Master Qiao comes out." Master Feng interrupted her, and his gaze passed through Feng Sanniang and fell outside the door. He suddenly took a deep breath and saw the sudden expression on his father's face.

Sanniang realized something immediately, she put away her grief and turned around silently.

Xiao Qianye stood by the door and grabbed Alan who was about to go out with one hand.

Feng Sanniang stared at him warily, and then caught a glimpse of the woman in white standing beside him, snorting coldly: "A foreigner? My dear nephew, you are really different, that's why you abolished the ban on foreigners not being allowed to enter the city.

Are you going to blatantly take a foreign woman out with you?"

Xiao Qianye ignored her and went straight to Master Feng, but he only bowed slightly, using the courtesy of a courtier, and said politely: "Grand Administrator, the control of the imperial capital has been temporarily handed over to the Military Pavilion. This matter will also be dealt with."

The military cabinet will be responsible for investigating to the end, please rest assured."

When Master Feng heard what he said, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and shook his head: "What are you talking about? Although I am your grandfather according to seniority, according to official position, Pavilion Master Xiao is in the position of marshal and is not a person of our status.

If you are able to climb high, Pavilion Master Xiao should pay more attention to Li'er."

"Dad..." Feng Sanniang was a little unhappy. Although she lowered her voice, she saw the stern look in her father's eyes and had to turn her head away from him in annoyance.

Xiao Qianye lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. This kind of conversation was what he had expected. This was what he had in mind as the Grand Historian. When he was still working in Mo Pavilion during his childhood, he once finished class in the lecture hall.

I met him several times on the way home, and every time the old man would deliberately stop and look at him for a while, but he never said a word to him, just like a familiar stranger.
