Chapter 78 Testify
Zheng Min's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just lowered his eyelashes, and slowly shook his head.

Looking at the flower shed from the corner of the painting, I saw that the peonies that were still in full bloom just now had wilted leaves and flowers, and looked like they had been devastated by the frost.On the ground, there are several more puddles, as if water has overflowed.There used to be canals in the flower shed to irrigate the flowers and trees, but today, for the convenience of people to enjoy the flowers, those canals are tightly blocked, and the water cannot flow out.

Where did the water in these puddles come from?And the evil spirit she had noticed just now had disappeared without a trace.

For today's feast, Lei Yan led a group of demon subduing masters and guards to patrol around outside, reasoning that monsters cannot enter the peony garden.Even if they can come in, it is absolutely impossible to escape silently after the murder.

"Why are your clothes wet?" Xue Jin, who was standing beside Zheng Min, asked in a low voice.

The corner of the painting glanced at Zheng Min's wet skirt, and then glanced at the puddles in the flower shed.The water in the puddle can only wet the embroidered shoes, but Zheng Min's dress is wet from the chest down.

Zheng Min had been with Kong Yu just now, maybe she was by his side when Kong Yu had an accident.

Zheng Min looked at Xue Jin absent-mindedly, as if he didn't hear what she said at all.

Hua Jiao walked towards Zheng Min and said, "Sister Min, I'll take you to change clothes. If you continue like this, you might catch a cold. Did you bring other clothes when you came?"

Zheng Min glanced at the corner of the painting, nodded and said, "I have."

Chongyun Palace has an elegant room dedicated to rest and change clothes, Hua Jiao and Zheng Min entered the room under the guidance of the palace staff.

Zheng Min's maid, Hong Ye, brought over the spare dress, helped Zheng Min change the wet clothes, and threw them on the ground.

Suddenly, something was thrashing and jumping in the armhole of the wet clothes.

Hua Jiao stretched out his sleeve and took a look, and saw that it was a strange looking fish with colorful colors and a pair of transparent wings on its back, flapping its tail at this moment.

Hua Jiao stretched out his hand to tighten his cuffs, and gathered up the fish.

After Zheng Min changed his clothes, his pale complexion finally got better, and there was a hint of blood on his face.It's just that his eyes are still blank, as if he hasn't recovered from the fright.

Hua Jiao sat on the chair, tucked up his sleeves and said, "Cry if you're afraid, I won't make fun of you."

These words successfully aroused Zheng Min's fighting spirit. She rolled her eyes and said in a cold voice: "Why should I cry? I won you today, and I won Qin Jue. It is you who should cry."

Hua Jiao raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a slight smile: "You are wrong, you should cry when you get Qin Jue, Shi Jue is dead, don't you think it will be Qin Jue's next turn?"

Huajiao didn't intend to scare her. There was Yinniang, a chess official from Fengyang Tower, and Kongyu, a poet, who was proficient in chess skills and poetry. Who knows if the monster's next key will be piano skills? High-ranking person.

As soon as Zheng Min was reminded by the drawing corner, he suddenly reacted, screamed in fright, and cried "Wow".

Zheng Min's maid, Hong Ye, was overwhelmed with fright, and looked at Hua Jiao as if asking for help.

Huajiao waved his hand, signaling Hongye to go out.

"How did Kong Yu die? Did you see a monster?" Huajiao asked.

Zheng Min wiped away his tears and shook his head in horror: "No, only water. Kong Yu and I were admiring the flowers, and suddenly felt cold under our feet. When we looked down, we saw that the dry ground was soaked in water at some point. It has already covered my feet. Before I can react, the monstrous water flooded towards me."

"Too much water? Where did it come from?" Even if the water in the ditch flooded over, it reached up to the knees. How could it be so much water.

Zheng Min was stunned by the question, and said in a daze, "I don't know, that is, the water flooded to my chest all of a sudden, it didn't seem like where the water came from, but it seemed like the water was there before, and I fell into the water. Something else swam past me."

Huajiao was stunned for a moment, remembering that day in the col of Jiumian Mountain, the snowstorm was very strange.

"The water is very cold, as if it will freeze at any time. If it is a little longer, I will be frozen to death, if not drowned. But, suddenly, the water receded, and then...then..." Zheng Min suddenly She trembled all over, "I saw... saw Kong Yu lying on the ground, her... face seemed to have been sucked out of blood by something, and slowly became dry... shriveled."

Huajiao frowned: "You said there was something swimming in the water, but you can see what it looks like? How big is it? Is it round or square?"

Zheng Min frowned and thought for a while: "I don't see clearly, it doesn't seem to be long."

She was already petrified, so she didn't bother to see what that thing looked like.

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Hua Jiao took out a talisman and handed it over: "You should take this talisman with you."

Zheng Min took it suspiciously, looked it over and over again, and asked, "What's the use of this...?"

Hua Jiao got up and smiled and said, "Although I said I was scaring you just now, monsters may not attack you, but you still have to be more cautious. Keep this talisman close to your body. It may save your life in an emergency."

Zheng Min smiled disdainfully, raised his hand and threw the talisman to the corner of the picture: "Who knows where you got this talisman, and whether it will harm me, I will ask the demon master to protect me. Please take care."

Huajiao hooked his lips and smiled: "Then you should hire someone quickly."

She picked up the talisman and took away the fish in the sleeve of Zheng Min's shirt.

In the flower shed, Tianshusi had taken away Kong Yu's body and was questioning the people at the flower banquet.Those who have been staying in the Chongyun Palace have dispersed.

Huajiao was left behind because he went out for a while.At the same time, a dozen people including Zheng Min, Xue Di, and Pei Ruji stayed behind.

Pei Ruji worriedly said to Hua Jiao: "Don't worry, I will testify for you."

Hua Jiaoxin said that Lei Yan was ashamed this time, he led the entire elite of Tianshu Division to patrol outside, and even let the demon harm people at the flower banquet.In the end, the monster was allowed to escape.

King Kang, Princess Jing'an, and King Liu'an were all present, they were all nobles of the royal family, that is to say, the demon did not attack them, otherwise, Lei Yan would be guilty of a serious crime this time.

Needless to say, he was also in a rage at this time.

Anyone who was not in the Chongyun Palace at that time would probably be suspected by him as an accomplice of the demon, and Pei Ruji was no exception.It would be useless for him to testify to her.

Hua Jiao also has another worry, that is, Lei Yan once met her once on Jiumian Mountain, and her identity was that of a demon at that time.In case, he regards her as an accomplice of the monster, that would be bad.

Now, perhaps the only one who can testify for her is Yu Taiqing.

However, she vaguely felt that he would not testify for her so easily.
