Chapter 88 Murder Motive

"Grand Master Shen is right. The weapon used by Meng Xiang, the guard next to me, is indeed a triangular pointed hammer. However, one weapon alone cannot prove that the death of Princess Changning is related to Meng Xiang. There must always be a motive for murder. Go." Feng Yuan said calmly.

"Who says there is no motive for killing?" Before Grand Master Shen said anything, King Ping said first: "First, Chang Ning has always liked to pester you, fifth child. It's not impossible. Second, everyone knows that you, fifth child, protect Miss Su like protecting your eyeballs. Today at the birthday banquet, in order to deal with Miss Su, Chang Ning bribed the servants of the Grand Master's Mansion to pour hot soup on Miss Su. Fifth, you should really want to kill Changning to vent your anger for Miss Su."

"Second brother, your ability to make up random stories and not to write a playbook is simply inferior." Feng Yuan looked at King Ping with a smile, and there was a trace of coldness in the depths of his eyes, which was fleeting.

"His Royal Highness, it is actually very easy to prove whether your bodyguard Meng Xiang killed someone. As long as your bodyguard Meng Xiang appears in front of everyone with his weapon, it will prove that the weapon that killed Princess Changning was not his weapon. "

Grand Master Shen spoke loudly and slowly, forcing Feng Yuan to ride a tiger.Feng Yuan opened his lips, and was about to have someone call Meng Xiang over, Meng Ji's face was heavy, and there was a trace of anxiety in his black pupils, and he walked to Feng Yuan's side, listening to his ears.

"Master, Meng Xiang is missing."

Feng Yuanjun frowned slightly, and whispered: "Have you sent someone to look for it?"

"I looked for it, but I couldn't find anyone."

"His Royal Highness, the old man sees that you look bad, but what happened?" Grand Master Shen asked with deep eyes, pretending to be concerned.

"Something bad happened. I originally planned to call my bodyguard Meng Xiang to prove his innocence, but just now I got the news that Meng Xiang is missing." Feng Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that he absconded in fear of crime?" King Ping didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and wished he could directly put Chang Ning's death on Feng Yuan's guards.

Feng Yuan cast a cold glance at King Ping with his dark eyes, "Second brother, you are so eager to place the blame on Meng Xiang, you must be guilty of guilt."

"What nonsense are you talking about? No one is guilty. That triangular hammer weighs dozens of catties, and I'm not a martial arts practitioner. I can't lift it when I hold it in my hand." King Ping retorted.

"Did anyone find it?" Su Xi who had been sitting quietly drinking tea asked.

Feng Yuan shook his head, he only hoped that Meng Xiang would be safe.

"Do you need help?" Su Xi's Qingyue voice is like a breeze, which can calm people's irritable mood.

"What good way do you have to find Meng Xiang as soon as possible?" Feng Yuan said.

"You forgot, I have a nine-tailed fox. Its nose is sharper than that of a hunting dog. However, I need something that Meng Xiang used." Su Xi said lightly.

"Meng Ji, do you have anything that Meng Xiang used on you?" Feng Yuan turned to look at Meng Ji and asked.

Mengji took out a gray cloth strip, "This is the cloth strip that Meng Xiang usually wraps around his wrist when he is practicing."

"give me."

Feng Yuan took the cloth and handed it to Su Xi, "Please."

"En." Su Xi nodded solemnly, "Wait for me."

Su Xi walked out of the room, found an empty corner, and blew a whistle on purpose to make everyone think that she was using the whistle to summon pets.

Then, with a thought, he brought the nine-tailed fox out of the space, and returned to the room with the nine-tailed fox in his arms.

"Xiaojiu, smell it, and find the person for me."

Nine-tailed Fox sniffed the cloth towel and almost vomited.

"Squeak." There was a smell of sweat, so smelly and unpleasant, I was dizzy.

The nine-tailed fox made a gesture to faint, Su Xi picked up its two pointed ears, "Don't be skinny, quickly find someone for me. If I can't find anyone within an hour, I will shave off your fox fur and let you Be a hairless fox and be laughed at by dragons."

"Zhizhi." I don't want to be a hairless fox, and I don't want to be laughed at by the little loach.

Under the threat of Su Xi's eyes, the Nine-Tailed Fox was forced to smell the cloth strips that made him sick again.After smelling it, the nine-tailed fox ran out.

Su Xi and Feng Yuan hurriedly followed, and the rest followed closely after seeing this.

"Shaonian Pavilion, the name is very elegant. Grand Master Shen, who lives in this pavilion?" Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Grand Master Shen frowned when he saw the Shaonian Pavilion, "This pavilion is the courtyard of the dog Shijun."

Shen Shijun, the fifth son of Taishi Shen.

"It turned out to be the yard of the fifth son of the Shen family. It is strange to say that today is the grand master's birthday. On such an important day, the fifth son of the Shen family did not show up." Feng Yuan opened his lips and said.

"Madam's health has been poor. Shijun is worried about her health. He set off three days ago to go to Jiyun Temple, a hundred miles away, to pray for Madam. Today, he is not in the mansion." Grand Master Shen explained calmly.

"That's really a coincidence, I heard that Fifth Young Master Shen is very knowledgeable, and I want to take advantage of today's birthday celebration to get acquainted with Fifth Young Master Shen." Feng Yuan said with a smile.

"It's Shijun's blessing to be appreciated by His Royal Highness King Rui. When the dog returns home, I will definitely ask him to hand over a letter of invitation and visit him in person."

The two of you said one sentence, and I practiced Tai Chi with one sentence.The Nine-Tailed Fox ran to Shen Shijun's closed study door and yelled non-stop.

"Squeak." Here.

"It seems that there is a clue, Grand Master Shen, please let the servants open the door." Feng Yuan was polite and at the same time, a cold gaze swept across Grand Master Shen's face.Dead old man, you'd better pray that Meng Xiang is okay.If something goes wrong, this king will overthrow your grand master's mansion.

"This is Shijun's study. Shijun hates people entering his study and touching his things the most. Why don't you open it after he comes back."

"Grand Master Shen delays time like this, is it because he has a ghost in his heart, or is there some ulterior secret in this study?" Feng Yuan said aggressively with sharp eyes.

"This..." Grand Master Shen looked puzzled, "It's not that I won't open it. It's just that Shi Jun is spoiled by my wife, if I know that others have entered his study without his permission, it will even give me a headache."

"The grand master pushes three times and blocks four times. It seems that there is a secret in this study. Today, the king must enter." Feng Yuan raised his foot and kicked open the door of the study.

The study room is simply furnished, with a set of old mahogany desks placed in the center.On the desk are the Four Treasures of the Study and an unfinished calligraphy and painting.There is a window on the left, and a mahogany bookshelf is placed against the wall on the right, and the bookshelves are neatly filled with various collections of books.Behind the book case, there is a multi-treasure shelf standing against the wall, on which several valuable objects are displayed.

The Nine-Tailed Fox jumped over the threshold lightly, and quickly ran to the multi-treasure shelf, screaming non-stop, and its little paws kept digging at the multi-treasure shelf.

"There should be a secret room behind the multi-treasure rack." Su Xi, who had been walking beside Feng Yuan, whispered in his ear.

Grand Master Shen saw the Nine-Tailed Fox running to the multi-treasure stand, his face was as black as a crow's hair.
