Farewell Flower Festival
Chapter 34 Murder Case
Mu Tianling turned around, and the last glimmer of hope in the girl's eyes was shattered.
Chao Yan refused to leave, so he grabbed her wrist with his vise-like iron hand and dragged her forward.
Wei Chang showed a cruel sneer, "Do it."
The sharp sword blade was aimed at the girl's wrist and chopped down. Chaoyan's brain buzzed and a taut string snapped, and everything went blank in an instant. But subconsciously, she told herself that she must do something, she must do something!
Under such a strong psychological suggestion, her adrenaline surged and she kicked over the table with one foot. With a loud bang, everyone present was startled. The sharp sword blade stopped less than an inch away from the hand.
Mu Tianling gave a glance and Qianfeng immediately took action, knocking the subordinate away with one blow and carrying away the beauty who was so scared that she collapsed on the ground.
"If Your Highness cannot control the people under your command, then I will teach them a lesson."
Wei Chang slammed the table down with his palm, leaped up and attacked Qianfeng, but was swept away by Feiyu's sword. Soon, his two subordinates and two other generals joined the siege.
The other three beauties took advantage of the chaos to escape. Qianfeng put the frightened beauty in his arms outside the door and joined the melee.
After Chao Yan kicked over the table, she stood on one leg. She felt all five toes were numb. She didn't know if they were broken or not. The pain was so severe that she couldn't even touch the ground.
Seeing her miserable state, Mu Tianling showed sympathy for her for the first time and carried her out of the house in his arms like a princess.
Chao Yan stole a glance at his angular chin and blushed.
There was a loud bang in the room; plates and wine jugs were smashed to pieces. The fight spread from inside the room to outside. Wei Chang's two men were kicked to the ground by Qianfeng and Feiyu respectively. They lay on the ground unable to get up and lost their fighting capacity.
Wei Chang secretly used a hidden weapon, and Qianfeng immediately pushed Feiyu away to avoid the sleeve arrow.
Chao Yan cursed him as shameless.
At this time, a man walked in from the door and asked, "What's going on?"
The voice sounded familiar, and Chaoyan turned around and saw that it was indeed Han Lie, the peacock.
Han Lie winked at Chao Yan when he came over, but she turned her head away pretending not to see him.
"Why did the fight start?" The fox eyes glanced at Mu Tianling, then at Wei Chang and the other two generals. Han Lie walked over and pulled out the sleeve arrow that shot on the ground, staring at the sharp arrowhead for two seconds.
Wei Chang's expression flashed with a hint of nervousness. He was afraid that he would notice something, so he poisoned the bottle and greeted him with a fake smile, "Why are you here, Second Young Master?"
Han Lie casually twirled his sleeve arrow and said, "My elder brother and I were eating next door when we heard the fighting. My elder brother asked me to come over to see what was going on."
Hearing that Han Luo was next door, Wei Chang's expression was obviously panicked. Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, he apologized to Han Lie and hurriedly said goodbye with two generals and two subordinates.
After the group of people left, Han Lie moved in front of Chao Yan and asked her what happened to her foot. Chao Yan replied casually, "A dog bit me." He looked next door and said, "Don't look. My elder brother is not here." Chao Yan said, "Then you can introduce your elder brother to His Highness some other day." Mu Tianling said, "This king has always wanted to find an opportunity to visit the eldest master, so I'll have to trouble the second master to help."
Han Lie said, "Since Your Highness has spoken, I will go back and ask Big Brother. But let me be frank. If Big Brother doesn't want to see Your Highness, then I can't help you." He moved his gaze to the beauty curled up outside the door. "You can't escape the fate of the first day. Your Highness can save her this time, but I'm not sure he can save her next time."
Chao Yan limped over and asked the beauty where she lived. The other party had not yet recovered from the shock and did not even dare to speak.
"She is the girl from Chunfeng Tower." Han Lie said.
Chao Yan said, "Since the Second Young Master knows this girl, I'll trouble you to take her back." Then she pointed to the three beauties hiding in the corner and said, "I'll trouble these three girls as well."
Han Lie asked, "I'm doing you this favor, so how are you going to thank me?"
Chao Yan said: "It's vulgar to thank you for such a good deed of helping others."
Han Lie was amused.
Mu Tianling's eyes darkened and he turned and left.
Chaoyan asked him to wait for her, but he pretended not to hear her. Then he heard Han Lie ask, "Your feet are not convenient. Do you want me to carry you or hug you?" Mu Tianling's face darkened. He stopped for a moment, turned around and walked over. Without saying a word, he picked up Chaoyan and carried her away like a princess.
Chaoyan smelled the faint cold fragrance in his arms, and her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
After getting on the carriage, Mu Tianling remained silent, exuding a low pressure. Chao Yan was not sure who he was angry with, Wei Chang, the beauty, or herself?
After a long silence in the car, Mu Tianling asked, "Is your foot feeling better?"
Chaoyan's heart warmed. This guy was indeed hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She took the initiative to apologize. It was because of her meddling that he made an enemy again.
"They are just trash and can't cause any big waves." Mu Tianling said lightly.
……
The next day was a day off. Mu Tianling was practicing calligraphy in the study, while Chao Yan was grinding ink beside him. Then Qian Feng came with a captain of the Nine Punishments Department. The man's surname was Yu, and he became a captain of the police at a young age.
After meeting Mu Tianling, Captain Yu reported three murder cases. Wei Chang and the two generals from yesterday were all killed last night.
Chaoyan was a little surprised that the three cannon fodders would die so soon.
Mu Tianling also showed a hint of surprise. Three people died overnight.
Chaoyan was very interested in solving the case and wanted to go to the crime scene with Mu Tianling.
"You're quite brave. If you get scared and start crying, don't yell about coming back."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't embarrass you."
......
On the way, Captain Yu reported the scene of the three people's murder to Mu Tianling.
First of all, Wei Chang was killed in the study room in his mansion.
The other two generals were killed on their way home.
Mu Tianling first went to Wei Mansion to investigate the scene of Wei Chang’s murder.
After the carriage stopped at the gate of Wei Mansion, Mu Tianling lifted the curtain and looked outside. Two servants in mourning were kneeling at the door, burning paper money. There was also a white silk hanging on the plaque, and faint cries could be heard from inside.
Mu Tianling had people guard all exits to prevent suspicious persons from escaping. After entering the mansion, the group, led by the housekeeper, first visited Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei was heartbroken, her face was as pale as paper, and she spoke weakly, as if she would faint at any time. She had no idea what happened in the study last night and could not provide any useful clues.
On the way to the study, Mu Tianling learned from the housekeeper about Wei Chang's whereabouts after he returned home.
Wei Chang returned home yesterday evening. He had drunk a lot of wine and was a little drunk. He went to the study and fell asleep. There were no unusual noises at night.
This morning, when the maid came to help Wei Chang get up, she saw that the door of the study was ajar and not closed. She knocked on the door, but no one responded. The maid did not dare to go in without permission and went to report to the housekeeper first.
When the housekeeper came over, he knocked on the door first, but still no one responded, so he asked the maid to report to Madam Wei.
After Mrs. Wei came over, she knocked on the door first. Still no one responded, so she pushed the door open and walked in.
As a result, I saw a person hanging in the room.
Mrs. Wei was so frightened that she fainted immediately.
Wei Chang was actually hanged in his study.
