Fox Love: Two Lives
Chapter 2
"Father...Father!" He suddenly pounced on him, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and touched the body that had long lost its temperature, "What's going on? Why did it happen?" Jinse murmured, with a look of embarrassment on her face Confidence and sadness, the eye sockets gradually become moist, and the eyes mourn.
At this time, another person in the room spoke, a person covered in a black cloak from top to bottom, his face was also hidden under the brim of the hat, his exposed hands were wrinkled and rough like tree bark, the skin was covered with bones, and he was extremely thin. His back was also hunched, and he looked extremely strange, "Young master, when I came today, I found that the patriarch had been murdered by a traitor. The condition of the body was what happened last night, but there was no clue at the scene." It was like gravel. The hoarse and harsh voice like rubbing, and the weird tone made people sound extremely uncomfortable. From the old voice, it could be distinguished that it was an old woman.
"No clues?" Jin Se's tone of voice couldn't hear any emotion, keeping her eyes on the fox corpse in front of her.
"Yes, young master." The low and hoarse voice sounded again, "Your uncle has also seen the scene, and he didn't find any clues."
"I've looked carefully, and it's the same as what the priest said, and I can't find any clues around, but..." The man in white who spoke paused, as if hesitating, "Not only are there no clues in the room, any furnishings are also hidden. There is no sign of destruction, which is strange, as if..."
"It's as if the patriarch didn't resist. But someone wants to kill himself but doesn't resist. This is impossible. Then the only possibility is that this person is someone who the patriarch trusts or even is very close to. The patriarch never thought that this person would betray him, so there is nothing He was killed while on guard. Is that right, Master Li Tang (shang)?" The priest took the words and said what the other party was thinking, but his tone became eccentric in the last sentence, as if he meant something.
Li Tang frowned slightly when he heard the question, and then stretched out, "That's right." Although he was Jinse's uncle, he didn't look much older than him.Of course, it's just the looks.
"Then Li Tang, do you have someone to suspect? Why don't you tell me." The tone was still the same as before, with such an obvious meaning that anyone with ears could hear it.
"Is the priest suspicious of me?" He simply clarified the words, glanced at his emerald eyes, and expressed his own thoughts, "I am not the only one who trusts and gets close to me. The patriarch often talks to you about clan affairs and listens to you. suggestion."
"Hehe," a low-pitched laugh sounded, "I'm just expressing what's in my heart, and it's not just for the adults, but the adults are trying to hide it."
"It's said that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. If it's not a bad heart, how can you think there is something wrong with my words? From what you say, it seems that you still suspect others?" The tone is not harsh, just like ordinary chatting, but It can easily make people hear its seriousness and displeasure.
The dead branch-like hand waved slightly, "It's not someone else. If you talk about being close, probably, there is no one closer than father and son, right?"
In a word, the other two were taken aback.
"Priest Shan Shan, what do you mean?" Jinse looked up at her for the first time since entering the room, with a hint of coldness on her lips, a half-smile.The upturned eyes looked full of charm, and there was no sad look on his face.
"You suspect Jinse?" Li Tang stared, unable to hide his astonishment.
"Until the real culprit is found out, everyone is suspect."
"What about the priest himself?" Jinse stood up and resumed her usual lazy posture, but there was a kind of oppression invisibly.
"The young master doesn't have to worry about the old man, but does the young master have evidence to prove where he was last night?" The hunched figure seemed to be respectful, but his tone was not vague at all.
Jin Se hadn't spoken yet, but Li Tang couldn't hold back, and blurted out, "Si Shan! My elder brother believes you, but I don't. I thought you had a problem, but I respect you for serving the fox clan all your life. I have never seen you do anything. I'm sorry about the matter of the Fox Clan and Eldest Brother, so I have been holding back to you. Now that Elder Brother's body is still alive, it would be against the way of a courtier if you treat his son like this!"
"My lord is serious. I have never had two minds. It's just that the patriarch was killed. I don't know who the murderer is and what his purpose is. For the sake of the fox clan, always be careful." No Xu, it seems that he didn't take his words to heart at all.
"Then you doubt Jinse? Does the priest think that Jinse is the kind of person who would kill his father for the sake of status?" Frowning, the tone is also serious, and it sounds very displeased.
"Thank you uncle for your trust in Jinse, but Priest Sishan is right." He interrupted the conversation between the two, with his hands behind his back, Fengshen Junlang, "Last night I stayed on the top of the mountain alone until dawn, no one Proof." The calm tone, nothing or nothing, without too much explanation, slightly raised chin and staring eyes, showed his pride and disdain.
After hearing this, Si Shan was noncommittal. He just moved his head and turned in another direction, "What about Master Li Tang? Where was he last night? Can someone prove it?"
"In my mansion, the servants of the night watch can testify. I don't know if the priest needs me to call someone in for interrogation?" The low tone seemed to be suppressing his anger.
"That's work."
"Hmph, what did the priest do last night? Is there any evidence?" Looking at her coldly, it seemed that she was the most suspected.
"No." The same frank and simple words.
Jinse stood silently, smiling lazily, but in the depths of her eyes, there was a deep sadness lingering.
With a flash in his eyes, Li Tang said in a bad tone, "Then can I suspect that you are the biggest suspect?"
"Why do you think it's me?" The hoarse voice, without the slightest panic, was clearly asking calmly but with a hint of sarcasm.
"You were the first to discover that the patriarch was killed, and you were also the one who suspected us. Isn't this a rush to find a scapegoat? And you have no one to prove that you were not at the scene last night. I think so, isn't it right?"
Si Shan laughed again, his hoarse laughter was full of mockery, "I can understand Master Li Tang's eagerness to avenge his brother, but I was already a priest of the Fox Clan before you were born. Why wait until now if you have a plan?"
Li Tang didn't seem to believe it, and looked at her coldly, "Who knows what your plan is."
"It's not unreasonable for Master Li Tang to think so. I wonder what the young master thinks?" She didn't argue too much, but turned to another person.
I don't know if I don't want to answer or I don't know how to answer, Jinse avoided this question, "Is my opinion important?" People don't know what he is thinking.
"If the young master doesn't want to answer, then the old man will not force it." The hoarse voice could not hear the emotion, "The most urgent thing now is to let the young master inherit the position of patriarch as soon as possible. Although it should be like this, there is such a disaster in the clan. The master is also a threat, and the young master is still young and inexperienced, so you might as well go to the human world to experience some experience, and after you come back, you will inherit the position of patriarch." He said his thoughts and arrangements in an orderly manner, with a calmness that could not be rejected, but unexpectedly As if he was the one giving orders, he didn't take them seriously.
Jinse narrowed her eyes, and the brilliance flashed in her long and narrow eyes, and her tone was casual and clear, "The priest wants to use this to protect me and let me come back after the murderer is caught? Could it be that in the eyes of the priest? Is Li Jinse such a useless person? Or is it that the priest thinks that I did this and wants to drive me out to test me? Or, the priest himself has other ideas?" At the end, his tone was a little cold .
"The young master is the only blood of the patriarch, and there is no room for any mistakes. And the young master is indeed inexperienced, and there is no harm in going to the world to experience it." Still the same rhetoric, people can't guess what she is planning, lenient The brim of her hat covered everything, and she couldn't see her expression, nor could she figure it out.
"What if I don't go?" Blinking, her azure eyes were as bright and transparent as jewels, and a chilling look flashed across her eyes inadvertently.
The stooped figure always looks respectful, but he never backs down, "If the young master insists on not going to the old body, there is nothing I can do about it, but the patriarch always said before his death that he wanted me to assist the young master and take care of the family. Business. Now that the patriarch has just left, I am ashamed of the great trust I have given to the patriarch, and I am ashamed to continue living in the world. Patriarch! I will go to accompany you, and I hope you will not blame me!" After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to put his head on his head Slapping away, the strength gathered in the palm of her hand and her steadfast gesture fully demonstrated her determination.
He moved his feet, and when Si Shan's hand was about to touch his forehead, he grabbed her, and Li Tang next to him couldn't help being surprised when he saw this.After all, no one expected that she would suddenly seek death.Regardless of whether she guessed that Jinse would stop her or she really wanted to die, there is no way that such castration will stop. If she dies here, it will undoubtedly be of no benefit to everyone.After all, the thousand-year-old fox clan priest is not for nothing, and sometimes her words are more effective than those of the patriarch.
"Young master, please let go." The hoarse voice was extremely resolute, and did not relax at all because of Jinse's actions.
"The priest just wants me to leave the Fox Clan, why should I be so serious." The strength in his hands didn't weaken, but he seemed to compromise because of this, and he smiled lazily in a relaxed tone, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere just now, "Go to the world There is no harm in leaving, just as I may not have visited the world for a long time."
"Jinse!" After finishing speaking, Li Tang couldn't help exclaiming, his face was full of disapproval, "How can you leave at a time like this..."
As soon as he said something, Jinse interrupted, "With uncle and priest here, I believe you will manage the fox clan well while I'm away, right?" Walking out of the door, he turned a deaf ear to Li Tangdi's yelling, and vaguely heard the tit-for-tat battle between the two inside the room in the corridor.
As he kept walking, the smile on his lips grew bigger...
After burying the old patriarch, Jinse left the fox clan.However, the conversation that day was more or less spread.Everyone thought that their young master, Jinse, was an incompetent person with no opinion, who was easily manipulated by the priest, and didn't even care about his father's hatred; He wanted to replace him, and the next one might be Mrs. Li Tang; some people thought that Li Tang was responsible for this matter. After all, without Jinse, he must belong to the fox clan.These are what Jinse heard before leaving.
In the same grass field, besides Jinse and Yingmo, there was another man in black.
"Ying Mo, Hua Jin, I have something to ask you..."
At this time, another person in the room spoke, a person covered in a black cloak from top to bottom, his face was also hidden under the brim of the hat, his exposed hands were wrinkled and rough like tree bark, the skin was covered with bones, and he was extremely thin.
