I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

Bai Yiling asked again: "What if we turn against each other because of this?"

Sheng Mian shook his head with a smile: "You don't know much about some things from back then."

"Although Sheng Hao's mother is your grandfather's concubine, she was originally the maidservant who served Princess Taichang since she was a child in the palace. Had an affair, and committed suicide in shame. The person who caught the adulterer was your grandmother, that is, my mother, Mrs. Lao Guogong. At that time, Sheng Hao was already seven years old, and he has always been brooding about this matter."

Bai Yiling wanted to ask whether this was a frame-up or the truth, but felt it was not good, so he didn't say anything.

Sheng Mian glanced at him, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "According to what I know about my mother, she won't do things like framing people, but when she arrests this concubine, it's probably a decision." The idea is to use this incident to rectify the family tradition. She was right, but she didn't show mercy."

He sighed slightly and said: "So no matter what Sheng Hao's mother did wrong, the pain of losing his mother, human nature, I can understand that he is dissatisfied, and he tried to ease the relationship. , He tried his best to prevent others from saving each other, and tried to control the entire Duke's Mansion, with the intention of putting me to death. This time, the brotherhood was completely severed, but because both of them were surnamed Sheng, It's just trying to keep some face."

Bai Yiling said: "Father means that the relationship between the two parties has already dropped to freezing point, and there is no worse result."

Sheng Mian said: "Exactly. I'm afraid that even today, he has been thinking about how to let me die early and make room for him. It's just that you children are growing up, and your mother is a princess, so you can't help me. If I really have something, he can't please him, so he has been forbearing."

Bai Yiling: "Hey, Dad!"

Sheng Mian smiled and said: "Father is just making an analogy. Our Ling'er has just returned home, so I can't bear to make trouble. But you should also understand your problem. Feel free to do things. Don't be afraid of getting into trouble if you have to do business. If there is any mistake, you don't have to worry about anything, just let him come to me."

Bai Yiling said: "I understand."

He smiled and was a little shy, but he still said bluntly: "In the past, I had no worries and no worries. I usually left no room for official duties. I was often said to be cold-hearted. I still don't take it seriously. Now I understand that, in fact It's not that I can be selfless, but that I have never had a real family and have no worries. Now I can't help but hesitate, for fear of causing trouble to my parents and family because of myself. What Dad said is that I should do business, Just stick to your heart.”

A trace of sadness flashed quickly from Sheng Mian's elegant and handsome face, his eyebrows were bent, he smiled quietly, and pressed Bai Yiling's shoulder: "Because it is a family member, so I don't need you to worry about it. Family members should always support me You, no matter what happens, stand by your side."

Watching this scene, the little fox patted Bai Yiling's back lightly with its big tail, as if saying, me too.

Although with the ginseng sent by the Zhen Guogong, Jia Xiangbing's body was not very strong. This time, he was injured and frightened, developed a high fever, and remained unconscious.

It was hot in summer, and he didn't dare to put an ice basin in his room, nor did he dare to open the windows for ventilation. Once Sheng Kaifu entered, he felt a heavy suffocation.

He was always picky, but this time he didn't show any disgust, he went straight to the bed, the maid who wiped Jia Xiangbing stood up and saluted him, Sheng Kai said: "Give me the veil, you can go down."

After the servant girl left, he personally wiped Jia Xiangbing's face with a handkerchief soaked in hot water.

People say that a nephew looks like an uncle, but Jia Xiangbing's face doesn't look much like Sheng Kai's, and there's nothing special about it, it can barely be called delicate and attractive.But Sheng Kai has always felt that looking at him is the most comfortable and relaxing.

He originally thought that he was the closest person in the world, even better than his parents and siblings, but only Jia Xiangbing knew him best and cared about him the most.But I didn't expect that the two of them would fall to this point.

He didn't want to do anything to this person.

The hot and humid veil is lowered little by little, the movements are delicate and gentle, from the chin, to the neck, and then to the throat...

Sheng Kai's eyes were fixed on the opponent's face, and his hands tightened involuntarily.Seeing this person unconsciously frowning in a coma, his pale face slowly turning red——

The window and the door were suddenly knocked open at the same time, a guard in a dark red official uniform jumped out of the east and west windows respectively, and at the door, Bai Yiling with a saber hanging from his waist led Shi Shiran to step in.

A look of astonishment flashed across Sheng Kai's face, and then turned into an unfriendly smile. He raised his hand seemingly casually, and threw the handkerchief just now into the basin again with a "snap" In the middle of the day, he greeted Bai Yiling: "Yo, little brother, you don't look like you came to visit your cousin's house, do you?"

"I came here for business today, and I really didn't intend to talk about my family relationship. Cousin, forgive me."

Bai Yiling clasped his hands behind his back and smiled faintly, as if he was chatting with someone standing on the side of the street: "Are you going to kill my uncle just now?"

They made such a big noise when they entered the door, other people would naturally not be able to hear them. Not long after, Sheng Hao and Jia Shi both came over, and just in time to hear Bai Yiling's last words, they were all shocked, almost thinking that he had lost his mind and gone crazy.

Sheng Hao looked unhappy, and scolded: "Ling'er, what are you doing! I am your second uncle anyway, even if this general's mansion is not as well-guarded as your Duke's mansion, it is too much for you to barge in like this Isn't it? Could it be that you were raised outside, and you don't even understand the seniority of the Sheng family?"

Bai Yiling raised his hand to stop the words of the others who were about to fight back, saluted Sheng Hao and Jia Shi, and said unhurriedly: "So that Second Uncle knows, we suspect that Uncle Liu is Mr. Liu who died a while ago. The murderer behind the murder case, these two brothers in ambush did it out of official business and had to do it. As for me, it has been circulated just now, and it was the servant who said that I can come directly to find my cousin."

Sheng Hao was startled, he has been in the mansion today, and someone did report to him just now, saying that the young master from the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion came to look for the eldest son, but he didn't take it seriously, and said, "Then let him Go by yourself, don't tell me I still have to welcome you." Unexpectedly, Bai Yiling really came in with his helpers.

He said coldly: "Then your current posture is to take away the unconscious patient? Besides, what does this matter have to do with your cousin?"

Sheng Kai suddenly laughed out loud, and spread his hands and said, "Father, haven't you seen it? This kid is crazy about making meritorious deeds! I'm afraid he'll just find an excuse to make things difficult for our family! Shall I kill someone? It's a joke, I Which door was destroyed, and who was killed, has anyone died, and where is it?"

When Lu Hong heard that he was still making such arguments at this time, he was furious, and rushed to Jia Xiangbing to check, Sheng Kai smiled and did not stop him.These idiots came in too early. He pinched Jia Xiangbing's neck just now through a wet veil, but he didn't use all his strength. It was impossible to leave traces, and Jia Xiangbing was still alive.

Bai Yiling said: "My cousin is having an affair with my uncle. You are about to get married, but he doesn't want to separate from you, so he uses this relationship as an excuse to threaten you not to get married, so when you are in a hurry, you simply want to kill people to silence them, so that you The matter between the two of you can be completely concealed. On the racetrack, you are the one who throws stones and stabs horses with silver needles."

The impact of these words was too great, Sheng Hao who was about to sit on the chair almost jumped up, and the stool under him fell to the ground, he asked angrily: "What are you talking about?!"

Mrs. Jia hurriedly supported him, but she shook herself and scolded Bai Yiling: "Xiang Bing is Kai'er's real uncle, don't talk nonsense!"

While she was talking, she couldn't help looking at Sheng Kai from the corner of her eye. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead: "Kai'er, is he talking nonsense? You answer him directly, and he will tell you when you finish speaking." You can go!"

Sheng Kai didn't expect that he could even guess this point. He pursed his lips and was thinking about what to say when he saw the other party take out a small jade card and shook it. waiter's stuff.

That small restaurant is very private, even the people who serve him don't know his real identity, how did Bai Yiling get the jade token?

Sheng Kai thought of the methods Bai Yiling might use to investigate this matter, his face turned livid, and he secretly scolded the other party for having no bottom line, and said in a deep voice, "Even if it is, so what?"

Mrs. Jia's head buzzed, and she couldn't help screaming: "You bastard, what have you done!"

She went up and gave her son a slap in the face, almost beating him to death, and cursed: "You bastard! You bastard! That's your uncle! When did you guys hook up? You still have to be shameless!"

Sheng Hao stood aside with a livid face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mother!" Sheng Kai pushed her away, and said impatiently, "The guards are already at the door, can we talk about other things later?"

No mother could calm down when she heard that her son was with his younger brother. Mrs. Jia was trembling with anger, but she calmed down a little when he said that. Although she stopped beating and scolding, her expression was already extremely ugly.

For some reason, Sheng Kai's heart suddenly relaxed when the truth that had been concealed all this time was made public in front of other people. He didn't feel much panic and shame, but an inexplicable joy.

The pressure from his parents, the secretiveness he used to look forward and backward, have all pushed his rebellious emotions to a certain critical point, but now, they finally know that they can't do anything to themselves.

Sheng Kai almost forgot that just a moment ago he wanted to put Jia Xiangbing to death. At this moment, he almost felt that all his actions were forced by the pressure from the outside world, so seeing the shocked faces of his parents, he felt a sense of urgency. The feeling of revenge.

He didn't know what it was like in his heart, so he smiled at Bai Yiling: "Now that I admit it, what else do you want to say?"

Bai Yiling said: "So...Jia Xiangbing poisoned Liu Bo to death, and then you threw his body into the fire, changed your clothes, pretended to be Liu Bo and performed a suicide scene for us to see. The two of you After you personally killed Liu Bo, and because of your marriage, there was internal strife, and you became murderous towards Jia Xiangbing, and caused him to fall from his horse and fall into a coma."

He asked Jia Xiangbing's hand to be taken out of the quilt, showing his black nails, and comparing them with the poison Liu Bo had taken.He also called a young boy from the wine shop who had been found after many twists and turns these days, and proved that he had indeed seen Liu Bo, Jia Xiangbing, and Sheng Kai eating at the same table on the day of the fire.

It was about a quarter of noon when they finished their meal, followed by Liu Bo's death and Bai Yiling seeing Sheng Kai at the scene of the fire, all the time evidences matched one by one.

Sheng Kai said: "You can do it, you can find a lot of things."

Bai Yiling said: "So you admit it?"

Sheng Kai laughed, and just about to say something, Sheng Hao suddenly shouted: "Shut your mouth!"

These words were put on the posture of an elder, and he yelled in together with Bai Yiling. Lu Hong's face was very unhappy, and he was about to speak, but he saw Sheng Hao walk to the side of the bookshelf in three steps in two steps, took out a jade ruler, and slammed It hit Sheng Kai on the back.

This time it was obviously not for a show, everyone who heard the "snap" felt tense in their hearts, Xia Tian was wearing thin clothes, and Sheng Kai's back almost immediately became red and swollen.

Sheng Hao kicked him to his knees on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "It's unwise to be entangled with the elders! It's unwise to dare to do what you don't want to be! You still have the face to stand here to criticize, it really doesn't even matter to you Your biological parents are about to die of shame because of you! Kneel down, don’t get up if you don’t understand.”

After he finished speaking, he turned to Bai Yiling and said, "Sheng Kai's morality issues, I will naturally teach, and I will not bother the selfless Commander Bai. Jia Xiang killed Liu Bo with ice poison, you just take him away, originally He is not from my Sheng family either, he has been sneaky all these years, even hooked up with his own nephew, and tricked this idiot of my family around, which shows that he has ulterior motives, I don't want to care whether he lives or dies."

Hearing her younger brother being evaluated by her husband in this way, Mrs. Jia's face was very embarrassed, but looking at her son, her lips moved, but she still didn't say anything.As soon as Sheng Kai raised his head, he was kicked hard by Sheng Hao to silence him.

Sheng Hao said indifferently: "But because of this, you say that Mr. Liu was murdered by Sheng Kai and Jia Xiangbing. The evidence is weak. I still know about my son. He can't do such a thing as murder."

What Sheng Hao raised was also the question that Lu Yu said in the teahouse that day. Originally, in the chaotic situation at that time, since Sheng Kai had not been arrested, after the fire, the actual evidence was almost It is impossible to find it, they are all relying on this, so they bite to death and refuse to admit it.

However, the Skynet is fully restored, and it is sparse but not leaky. After all, there are still some omissions in the middle.

No matter what Sheng Hao thinks or what attitude he has, Bai Yiling just does his due courtesy, cups his hands at Sheng Hao and says, "What Second Uncle said is that those evidences are indeed not enough. But you don't know When I was at the scene of the fire that day, my third brother saw my cousin and talked to him. At that time, my cousin couldn't stand still because he was hit by someone, so my third brother gave him a hand."

He said to Sheng Kai: "But you suddenly got angry and pushed him away, didn't you?"

Sheng Kai was taken aback, recalled the situation at that time, and said with a sneer, "What do you mean, public revenge? Yes, I didn't get angry for no reason. I reminded my third cousin to be careful with you, so as to save you from going back to Sheng's house." His position was squeezed out, and he didn't know good from bad, so I was angry. Now I dare to say it in front of you. "

Sheng Kai seems to be blunt and reckless, but in fact he is really good at shifting the focus, but Bai Yiling will not be distracted by his topic, and said directly: "It's not the first time you and third brother have met, and you are not very close, you should know What he likes to hear and what he doesn’t like to listen to, and taking the risk of displeasing both sides to say such things to him can only make me think that you are deliberately looking for an excuse to turn your face and leave. And pushing him aside is probably not because of anger , but you don't want him to touch your...clothes, right?"

Sheng Kai didn't expect him to think of this, his face changed slightly, Madam Jia immediately said: "Nonsense, what can't be touched with clothes, besides, what does that have to do with murder?"

Her son is not yet married, and she is in charge of the internal affairs. Mrs. Jia just ordered people to throw away a batch of Sheng Kai's old clothes yesterday, and she is very confident that Bai Yiling will not find any evidence.

Bai Yiling really said: "Of course there is a mystery in the clothes, but unfortunately the one my cousin is wearing must have been lost..."

Mrs. Jia's city mansion is the shallowest, and she is visibly relieved.Sheng Hao and Sheng Kai didn't react too much, they realized that there should be a turning point in Bai Yiling's future.

Sure enough, the other party continued: "So I had to find someone else's clothes."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, he clapped his hands and said, "Bring it up for everyone to see."

Before meeting Bai Yiling, Sheng Kai felt that what he did was flawless, but the other party miraculously restored the whole thing layer by layer, and described it as if he saw it with his own eyes, which almost gave him such a feeling. The illusion of omniscience.

Seeing the two guards coming up from behind Bai Yiling, he finally felt a vague panic and fear in his heart.

On the two trays brought out by Bai Yiling, there was a piece of clothing on each. The one on the left was originally white, but it was already tattered and dirty. There were a lot of blood stains and black ash on it. The clothes stripped off Liu Bo's body.The one on the right is a light blue brocade robe, which looks much clean and decent, but Sheng Kai has no impression of it at all.

Seeing him staring at the dress, Bai Yiling told Sheng Kai: "This is what the third brother wore when he was talking to his cousin that day. My cousin may not have much impression of it."

Sheng Kai's body felt cold, and he mechanically asked, "So what?"

Bai Yiling said: "When I thought you were the one who rushed into the fire and pretended to be Liu Bo, I kept thinking about two questions. One is what you were trying to cover up or avoid by pretending to turn your back on Third Brother; Get out of the fire——I have sent people to check the whole fire scene, and there are no tunnels or other places to hide. Later I realized that the key may be the clothes you wear.”

He lifted up the sleeve of Sheng Ji's dress, and there was a faint stain near the forearm on the cloth, but it was very inconspicuous, and it took great care to find it.

Bai Yiling said: "This mark is very wide, but the color is not heavy. From left to right, from dark to light, it is obvious that something wide and wide has rubbed it inadvertently. I tried to burn it with fire. This area is not easy to ignite, but the things rubbing on it have a faint sign of melting, giving off a faint fragrance of pine and bamboo."

This description... Mrs. Jia was stunned when she heard that, and she couldn't help saying: "Then, what is that? What does it have to do with my son?"

Bai Yiling said: "After comparison, it's probably rosin, maybe a little bit of other stuff has been mixed in, so that it can be applied on the clothes."

Mrs. Jia was still at a loss, Sheng Hao had already figured it out, and he just didn't know whether to praise his son "smart"-it's a pity that his cleverness was not used in the right place!

The essence of rosin is actually a kind of natural resin, which can be melted, but it is not easy to burn. Although it is slightly yellowish, it is mainly transparent. If this thing is brushed on the surface of clothes, it can temporarily play the role of fire prevention. It is not easy to be seen.

From faking Liu Bo's suicide to clever fire prevention, Sheng Kai's series of murder plans are interlocking, which is already ingenious enough. It's a pity that he met Bai Yiling. As long as there are a few clues, he can figure out many things along the way.

One of the biggest disadvantages of rosin is that it is easy to melt when exposed to heat. After Sheng Kai quickly escaped from the fire scene, in order to make a time difference to prove that he did not act alone when the crime happened, he went to talk to Sheng Ji before he could change his clothes, and let Sheng Ji see him.

But when the two of them were talking, the surface of his clothes was covered with a lot of sticky rosin, if someone touched it, it would definitely reveal his secrets, so Sheng Kai threw away Sheng Ji, but his sleeves swept across the other party's clothes , but also touched the other party's body with melted rosin.

For the same reason, such stains also appeared in several places on the clothes of the deceased Liu Bo.So even though Sheng Kai's clothes were thrown away, the place where he touched Sheng Ji was enough to be evidence.

Sheng Hao's lips moved, his face gradually became ugly, and he said, "He..."

"I admit it." Sheng Kai said shyly, "I killed Liu Bo."

It was the end of the matter, and he had no choice.

Although the key was released, Sheng Kai probably only knows what happened in it. Bai Yiling said, "Why did you kill him?"
