Chapter 1140 The Real Culprit Behind the Scenes

He Lingchuan ran out and picked the eyeball spider from the treetop——

He had put it here a few days ago.

The fire was about to spread to the mountain. The snail toad hated the heat and dryness, so he burrowed underground and escaped quickly.

…

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui returned to the foot of the mountain and saw hundreds of soldiers surrounding the low hill, as if they were afraid of escaping.

They are already the army of Peng State.

One of the small groups had about ten soldiers, and the leader of the group took one person by the hand and walked into the darkness, away from the large army.

This man has a sallow face, thin muscles, and ragged clothes. He is not dressed as a soldier.

"Get lost!" The military leader pointed in the distance, "You have nothing to do with me here!"

Seeing him turning around to leave, the man became anxious and grabbed the military leader's arm:

"Master Jun, you haven't given me fifteen taels of gold yet! I'm offering a reward of fifteen taels of gold to find someone!"

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other in understanding.

Is this the whistleblower? Looks like a beggar.

No one else found any trace of Concubine Mei. How did he find out?

The military leader looked at him with a sinister look, and suddenly kicked him in the leg. After he fell to the ground, he added a few more kicks, and sneered: "I gave it to you a long time ago, and you dare to ask for it again? You are a greedy talent, and you will spend your life if you have money." Lazy guy!"

The man was in pain, curled up in a ball and screamed, his voice shriller than an owl.

The other soldiers were watching from the side, with cold eyes and sneers.

The military leader finally stopped and asked him again: "Did you get the money? Did you get the money just now?"

"Take it!" The man had been kicked until his face was covered with blood, and two teeth in his mouth were knocked out. He lay on the ground crying with tears streaming down his face. "The villain took fifteen taels of gold. The villain is greedy. The villain is not willing to do anything. Dare to ask for it again!”

"You know what's going on." The military leader spat at him, then turned around and led the team away.

The man struggled on the ground for a few times before slowly getting up and limping out.

As he looked back, he cursed the military leader wildly, his eyes shining with resentment.

…

In summer, the vegetation is dense. In just over an hour, the low hills were burned to the point of being bald, and green smoke curled up everywhere.

The Pengguo army did not leave until dawn, and went up the mountain twice to inspect the fire scene.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui then returned to Jizhen and brought the prisoners into the guest room for questioning. The old man who looked after the door had long since disappeared.

The shadow's cloak had long since fallen off, revealing a soft face.

Because of her, the desolate abandoned house has become more beautiful.

"Mei Fei, we meet again."

This dark figure is none other than Concubine Mei. Her hands are tied, her hair is disheveled, and her body is covered with dust. She looks like a damsel in distress.

She looked around and stretched her hands forward: "I feel uncomfortable, please help me relieve myself? Where can I escape as a weak woman?"

Her white wrists were already red from being strangled.

"There is a barrier and she can't get out." He Lingchuan nodded, and the ghost monkey on Dong Rui's shoulder immediately jumped over and untied the rope from her hand.

Mei Fei pressed her wrist and found a chair to sit down on her own:

"How did you know I would come to Baiqiu?"

Her tone sounded as if she knew the two of them very well.

"We probably went together with the new king You Enguang." Dong Rui pointed in the direction of Gushan, "This is your masterpiece, you probably want to take another look."

He Lingchuan expected that Concubine Mei would come to admire his proud work.

But he didn't expect that he would see such a terrifying scene:

She dug out King Fan's heart and ate it.

Seeing such a lively beauty eating her rotten heart like a dessert is quite a visual impact.

What kind of hatred is this?

Mei Fei smiled tenderly at him, as if she was not the one who had eaten people's hearts before:

"What do you want from me?"

"Find the person behind this series of events." He Lingchuan exhaled, "You Enguang is eager to kill you. It seems that he is on the same side as you."

"You know now, is it useful?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "You Enguang has succeeded to the throne and the entire Peng Kingdom belongs to him. Even if you expose him now, it will not change Emperor Mou's mind."

"Why?" Mei Fei tilted her head slightly, as if confused.

The beauty was confused, but still cute, and Dong Rui couldn't help but take a second look. But when he thought about what the beauty had just done, he felt a chill in his heart.

People are beautiful but cruel. He should recite silently a few more times. People are beautiful but cruel.

"Emperor Mou needs to support a regime here that is close to Mou. You Enguang is very smart. He came to vote before the battle and was sincere." He Lingchuan said lightly, "This man understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. There is no other better choice. Under the premise, he will naturally be selected. In comparison, what does it mean to kill a few Shadowfang Guards?"

Emperor Mou would not take this small loss seriously at all.

"You were originally from You Enguang's group. He was worried that your crimes of stealing Ming Deng and blaming Ying Yawei would be exposed and make Mou Guo displeased, so he wanted to kill you and silence you." He Lingchuan said to her, "He used But I am not smart enough, or too cautious, otherwise I will understand that this is unnecessary. "

"It doesn't matter." Mei Fei sighed softly, "I originally just wanted to use him."

She didn't mind being taken advantage of at all.

People must have value in order to take advantage of each other, and neither of them has good intentions.

"You caught me." A ray of morning light passed through the hole in the window and touched her face, revealing a little innocence and ignorance. "What do you want to do to me?"

A weak and helpless beauty is sitting crookedly in a dilapidated house in a deserted town, asking you what you want to do to her...

I didn't think about it at first, but after being asked this question, I also had some thoughts.

Dong Rui had just warned himself that this was a femme fatale, but he swallowed his saliva again when he heard this.

He Lingchuan looked at Mei Fei and said, "Prince Bo said that you murdered the royal family. What deep hatred do you have?"

This woman knows how to use her strengths.

"He killed my whole family and took away my father's foundation." Mei Fei said calmly, as if it was someone else's family who died. "I will fight back, kill his whole family and destroy his foundation. Is it fair?"

Her voice was still so gentle, like honey quenched with poison.

Dong Rui immediately said, "Fair, very fair."

He Lingchuan asked, "Does the madness of Prince Bo have anything to do with you?"

Mei Fei's eyebrows stretched out, "Hey, you just called it Mouguo?"

Shouldn't the people of Mouguo call themselves "our country"?

This woman is very thoughtful. "I ask, you answer. How much do you know about the Mingdengzhan?"

Mei Fei lowered her eyes slightly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "What's the matter?"

"The second prince of the Ming Dynasty has gone insane, and the newly appointed doctor Chen reported that the Mingdengzhan can save the second prince. It just so happens that the Mingdengzhan has matured recently. This series of coincidences together is inevitable, and you created the inevitable." He Lingchuan looked at her and said, "You are very familiar with the use of the Mingdengzhan."

Mei Fei said lightly: "My understanding of the Mingdengzhan is limited to that ancient book, which is now in the hands of Doctor Chen. Can't you just ask him for it?"
