Chapter 42 Protecting You to Sleep Safely
Pei Daozhu looked at the crazy murderer.
——Every day and every night, I am watching you, goddess!
The contents of the blood book appear clearly before your eyes.
How can a person who enjoys peeping at her be willing to disappear if he says he disappears?
The only possibility is to hide beside her, hiding in some place where it is easier to peek at her.
And there is no more suitable place in the entire Jinliang Garden than Xiaoxiang Garden.
She explained it briefly.
Xiao Heng ordered: "Drag him down and wait for trial."
The guard was about to take action, but the murderer suddenly used all his strength to break away from them, rushed to Pei Daozhu regardless of concern, hugged her legs tightly, and shouted: "Goddess!"
The sudden situation made everyone in the boudoir stunned.
Pei Daozhu exclaimed.
Without waiting for the others to react, she quickly pulled out the wooden hairpin and inserted it straight into the murderer's neck like she was helping herself!
Blood beads splashed.
The warm blood sprinkled on the girl's white skin and dyed her dark blue sleeves red.
The coldness quickly flew across her eyes.
Then, she looked delicate and afraid, gasped gently, let go of her hand in disbelief, and slowly took two steps back until she fell to the ground in a collapse.
Two lines of clear tears rolled down their snow-white cheeks.
She looked at Lu Ji helplessly: "Brother Lu...I...I killed someone..."
Lu Ji cherishes her.
He hurriedly squatted beside her, took off his cloak and wrapped it on her shoulders, and took her into his arms, preventing her from watching the bloody scenes, and comforted her softly: "Miss Daozhu is for self-protection, not to mention that the murderer should have died, it's okay, it's okay..."
Pei Daozhu buried her head in his arms and sobbed pitifully.
The murderer opened his eyes in shock.
It seemed like I didn't expect that Pei Daozhu would take such a ruthless move.
He opened his mouth.
Blood gushed out along his throat, dyeing his teeth and jaw red.
His eyes were covered with dense red bloodshots, staring at Pei Daozhu in a hoarse voice: "It's not over... the grudges of the past are not over yet. Unless all the ten major families are destroyed, there will be girls who die. Goddess, Goddess, I can't bear to die..."
He called out in a daze.
Until there is no breath.
Xiao Heng squatted down on one knee in front of the murderer.
He reached out to rub the murderer's face, and it took him a long time to find traces of the human skin mask on the edge of his auricle.
He said: "He is the murderer. The case of the faceless corpse in the garden and pond can be closed."
It is unlucky to die in the boudoir.
Xiao Heng ordered Pei Daozhu to clean up a boudoir again.
Seeing that Pei Daozhu was still crying, Lu Ji took her to the hall for hot tea so that she could relieve her mood.
Xiao Heng led people to clean up the mess, and his eyes suddenly fell on the wooden hairpin.
He pulled out the wooden hairpin from the body.
The wooden hairpin is unusual in style, but unusually, one end is cut particularly sharply.
It is sharp and can be easily inserted into the throat.
He played with the bloody wooden hairpin and suddenly sneered.
...
Hall.
Pei Daozhu still buried her head in Lu Ji's arms.
Lu Ji gently stroked her thin and thin shoulders and comforted her warmly: "The murderer is dead, Sister Daozhu can rest assured in the future, and no one will harm you again."
Pei Daozhu sobbed: "I am a weak woman, and I have never seen such strong winds and waves. I still feel scared when I think about it these two days. Brother Lu, will you protect me in the future?"
Lu Ji said seriously: "I have been studying literature since I was a child. Compared to Xuan Ce, my skills are more than a little less. So when it comes to protection, Xuan Ce is more reliable than me. Don't worry, I will let Xuan Ce increase the number of patrol guards in Jinliang Garden. In the future, I will definitely protect you to sleep peacefully."
Pei Daozhu was silent.
Brother Lu was very stupid and couldn't hear her being flirting with him.
She wanted to say something else, but Xiao Heng walked in.
He glanced at the two people with close gestures and said lightly: "It's late at night, Ziji, it's not convenient for you to stay here. Let's go back first. I have something to ask her."
Lu Ji nodded and said goodbye first.
Xiao Hengping left the guards and maids in the hall.
He sat opposite Pei Daozhu, placed the bloody wooden hairpin on the table and pushed it to her.
Pei Daozhu raised her eyebrows: "What does Uncle Jiu mean?"
Xiao Heng sneered: "It's so scheming."
Pei Daozhu pinched the handkerchief: "I don't understand."
Xiao Heng said: "The murderer was watching you and knew that it was you who slaughtered Cui Lingren. You were afraid that during interrogation, the murderer would reveal what you had done, so he prepared this wooden hairpin in advance, so he destroyed his mouth at a critical moment. Pei Daozhu, what else in the world is there that you dare not do?"
Tears were still hanging on Pei Daozhu's cheeks.
The delicate and bright lips bent as if they were there.
While breaking the wooden hairpin into two pieces and throwing it into the incense burner, she whispered in a gentle voice: "I can't understand what Uncle Jiu said."
"Okay." Xiao Heng couldn't stand her pretentiousness, "Lu Ji is not here, what are you pretending?"
Pei Daozhu smiled, remembered something, frowned and said, "Before her death, the murderer said, 'The grudges of the past are not over yet. Unless all the ten major families are destroyed, there will be girls who will die.' What does the grudges of the past refer to? What does the Flower God Cult have to do with the ten major families? Why do they all die?"
There are many families in the southern country.
Among them, the ten most prominent ones, led by the Xiao family, Cui family, Xie family and others.
They dominated the court with the royal family and controlled the military and financial power of the entire country.
With the development over the years, there is even a tendency to override the royal family.
The two fell into deep thought.
However, they are all young and do not understand the grievances of the ten major families in the past.
Seeing that it was too late, Pei Daozhu wanted to send Xiao Heng out.
The spring night is silent, and the flowers are swaying.
In front of the courtyard, Xiao Heng suddenly turned around to look at her: "When you first met, you kept saying, "You admire me. I was unmoved at the beginning, but now, you can try again."
Pei Daozhu bent her eyebrows and said softly: "Uncle Jiu once said that beauty is just 'painted with dung'. A girl like me is only worthy of being a high-ranking toy. For you, I am not even a toy. Can Uncle Jiu forget these words?"
Xiao Heng was silent.
Pei Daozhu blessed her gift and decisively closed the fence door.
She returned to the newly arranged boudoir, washed up, and sat down in front of the makeup mirror.
Although he slammed Xiao Xuance hard, he did not feel relieved.
She was also a master of affection. She knew very well that the guy was not a prodigal son who turned back or really fell in love with her. All his kindness was just a means to hunt her down.
But Pei Daozhu, has she ever been someone else's prey in the love field?
The girl's eyebrows and eyes showed a faint aura of aggression, and she was obviously extremely disdainful of Xiao Heng's methods.
Zhengxing came in with a bronze geese incense burner and said happily: "I asked the manager for Anshenxiang. The girl can sleep peacefully tonight! I heard that this Anshenxiang was bought by Jiu Ye in the East China Sea, so precious! Jiu Ye has traveled around the county and country over the years and brought a lot of good things back!"
Pei Daozhu remembered something and asked while combing her hair: "Has he not been in Jiankang two years ago?"
Zhenxing was puzzled: "Jiu Ye left Jiankang for study at the age of 16, and was only called back by the emperor this year. Why did the girl ask about this?"
Pei Daozhu held the mahogany comb tightly.
Could it be that Brother Xuan Ce she met two years ago...
Not Xiao Heng at all?
