Chapter 50

Li Rongqing was lying in the grass, and when she heard the noise from the open-air toilet, she couldn't help laughing secretly.

Needless to say, Liang Xiao must have drunk too much, lost his footing, and fell into the cesspit.Li Rongqing was in a good mood when she thought of Liang Xiao falling into the cesspit, covered in stench.What a retribution, this bastard should drink dung.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, Li Rongqing quietly pushed aside the grass, and saw two figures walking towards them.The one in front was as thick as an ox, and was still muttering non-stop, no doubt it was Tu Niuer.The one behind is slightly slender, it should be Liang Xiao.

The moonlight was hazy and covered by weeds. Li Rongqing couldn't see Liang Xiao's face clearly, so he could only judge by his figure and clothes.At this moment, she heard Tu Niu'er's voice again. "Ah Xiao, you drank too much this time, you can't do that next time..."

There was no doubt that that person was Liang Xiao.Li Rongqing didn't hesitate, he clenched the dagger tightly, jumped up, and swung the dagger like lightning.

Hu Lai was baffled.Liang Xiao?Is Liang Xiao here?He opened a pair of drunken eyes, looked around, did not see Liang Xiao's shadow, but saw a vigorous figure leaping from the grass, and then felt a chill on his neck.

Hu Lai was startled, and subconsciously covered his neck, feeling a piece of wet and hot liquid.He was stunned for a moment, and then heard Tu Niu'er's heart-piercing scream: "Killer—"

"Killed someone?" Hu Lai blinked, turned to look at Tu Niu'er, wanted to ask his name, but there was no one in front of him, Tu Niu'er was already yelling, and ran towards the big tent.

What was he doing and who was killed?Thinking about it, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out and soon soaked the ground under him.

Hearing Tu Niu'er's scream, Li Rongqing breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ran back to the big tent, hid the short knife, tidied up his clothes, collected himself, and walked to the big tent with a pot of wine, while doing Well prepare to panic.

Before Li Rongqing entered the tent, he heard chaos in the big tent, with countless people shouting and screaming, showing indescribable tension.

She smiled, relieved.Tomorrow, I will be able to regain my freedom, and I will no longer have to serve others in a humble manner.Poor is still poor, but poor enough to be dignified. Even if you have rough clothes and bad food, it is better than being a maid.

Just when Li Rongqing lifted the tent door and stepped into the big tent with one foot, she heard a roar: "Assassin, this is clearly what the assassin did. The person he wants to kill is not foolish, it is me! I will say You still don’t believe that there are assassins, should you believe it now?”

Li Rongqing was stunned.This voice was all too familiar to her.She used to follow the owner of this voice for several days, getting along almost day and night.

Liang Xiao is not dead?I killed Hu Lai?

Li Rongqing only felt a buzzing sound in his mind, and it went blank.

Liang Xiao's voice was still ringing. "No one is allowed to leave. The assassin must still be here. Search everyone and check their weapons. If there is blood on the weapon, it is likely to be the murderer."

Li Rongqing's calf tightened, and she quickly shrank back.

"Mr. Liang's words are reasonable." Feng Ji's voice sounded, "When you come, immediately surround the camp, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Unless the murderer is caught, no one can leave. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy."

Hearing Feng Ji's voice, Li Rongqing shivered involuntarily.Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps and the crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed, she turned around and left before she had time to think.Hu Lai is dead, and the Hu family will never give up. Once Feng Ji catches her, she will only die.

Before the Hu family's attendants surrounded the camp, Li Rongqing escaped from Shugang by virtue of his extraordinary skills.

Feng Ji was pale and sweaty.Hu Lai was killed outside the tent. This incident happened too suddenly and the consequences were too serious. He, who has always been calm, couldn't bear it.He looked coldly at Liang Xiao, who suddenly woke up, and at Tu Niu'er, who was covered in stench, and a cloud of suspicion crossed his mind.

These two people must have something to do with this matter. The problem is that Liang Xiao was right in front of him just now, and there was no chance to make a move at all.Tu Niu'er is very suspicious, but right now it is concluded that he is the murderer, and the evidence is insufficient.If he had killed Hu Lai, he couldn't have come running and yelling.

This was a trap, but I realized it too late, Hu Lai was already dead.

Feng Ji commanded the servants of the Hu family to control everyone, and rushed to the place where Hu Lai fell to the ground.Ignoring Hu Lai's stench all over his body, Feng Ji carefully inspected Hu Lai's wounds.Seeing that scary wound, Feng Ji's heart skipped a beat.

He had already guessed who it was, and also vaguely guessed the conspiracy behind it.

He glanced at Liang Xiao, but saw that Liang Xiao was also looking at him, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, with a sarcasm on his face. "Feng Jun, what hurt you?"

"It should be a sword." Feng Ji stood up, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly. "And it should be a dagger."

"Then quickly send someone to search the surrounding area. Short knives and short swords are easy to carry, and the assassin may throw away the weapon after killing someone."

Feng Ji called a subordinate and gave some instructions.Not long after, the subordinates came to report, and all the maidservants were there, except that one named Li Rongqing was gone.After asking all the maidservants, they all got the same testimony: when Hu Lai was killed, no one saw Li Rongqing.

Feng Ji had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he didn't say anything when he heard this conclusion.

No matter what role Liang Xiao played in this, he had no evidence to command Liang Xiao. After all, the murderer was the maid of the Hu family and had nothing to do with Liang Xiao.Everyone present could tell that Liang Xiao and Li Rongqing met for the first time, and they didn't get along very well.

Feng Ji was very angry, not only because of Hu Lai's death, but also because of Liang Xiao's mocking of him.Right in front of his eyes, Liang Xiao borrowed a knife to kill Hu Lai, but he had no choice but to watch Liang Xiao leave.

……

The truth came out, and the shocked people dispersed one after another.

Liang Xiao and Tu Niu'er came to the side of the ditch, Tu Niu'er stripped naked, jumped into the ditch, took a bath, and washed away the bad smell.

"Ah Xiao, how did you know Hu Lai would come?"

"I fed him on purpose." Liang Xiao sat on the bank, carefully recalling what happened just now, to see if he had revealed any flaws. "He has already drank so much, how can he not feel bloated if he drinks more than a dozen cups."

"Then how do you know the assassin is nearby?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "She was with us all the time, you just didn't pay attention."

"Who is it?" Tu Niu'er was at a loss.Feng Ji didn't say who the assassin was at the end, so he asked everyone to disperse. Tu Niu'er's gossip was blazing, and he couldn't ask Feng Ji about it, so he had to ask Liang Xiao.

"It's the maid named Li Rongqing."

"It's her?" Tu Niu'er paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered. "That's the one you fancy? She's actually an assassin? It doesn't look like it."

"What should an assassin look like?" Liang Xiao asked back.

"Uh... Assassin, she's shady, of course she should be ugly. She has delicate features and is a pretty little beauty. I didn't expect her to be an assassin too. By the way, Ah Xiao, don't you think she looks familiar? Where should we be?" met her."

Liang Xiao pouted. "Do you still remember the woman who bathed in Hangou?"

"So it's her?" Tu Niu'er thought for a while, and suddenly realized. "I said, why are you suddenly going to see Hu Lai? It turns out that you have taken a fancy to her. Alas, Ah Xiao, you are not mean enough. The two of us saw it together, but you actually ate alone and didn't tell me."

Liang Xiao sweated profusely.This is also together?
