Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 133 There is something wrong in my heart
Xiao Wang put the dagger against Huang Yefei's neck. The cold touch made his scalp tighten. He asked in shock and fear: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a question, and then I'll leave." Xiao Wang said.

"What do you want to ask?"

Xiao Wang stared at the other person's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know anything about Lingdie Temple?"

He noticed that when Huang Yefei heard the words "Lingdie Temple", his pupils suddenly shrank and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

With such obvious panic, this guy must be an insider!

Huang Yefei swallowed hard, trying to stay calm: "I don't know what Lingdie Temple is, you asked the wrong person."

After saying that, he closed his mouth tightly, looking determined not to say another word.

Seeing this, Xiao Wang did not continue to question, but retracted the dagger.

"I originally wanted to save your life, but now it seems unnecessary. I'll just let you stay here and wait to die."

After saying this, he turned and left.

His words made Huang Yefei feel a little panicked. Huang Yefei couldn't help but speak again: "Stop being so mysterious here. How could I die?!"

Xiao Wang said slowly, "You may not know this yet, but we have found out that Madam Fu Xue did not hang herself, but someone poisoned her mutton soup. The murderer behind this is related to the incident at Lingdie Temple 20 years ago, and the murderer also left a message, saying that everyone involved in this incident should be killed one by one."

Huang Yefei's face had turned pale, and the fear in his eyes was almost overflowing.

He suddenly shouted, as if he had thought of something.

"Where are Uncle Feng and Uncle Sun? Where are they? I want to see them!"

The Uncle Feng and Uncle Sun he mentioned were naturally Feng Wu and Sun Hu.

Xiao Wang said slowly: "Feng Wu and Sun Hu are too busy to take care of you. If you don't want to become the murderer's next target, tell me everything you know."

What does "too busy to take care of oneself" mean? Could it be that Uncle Feng and Uncle Sun have met with an unexpected accident? Huang Yefei was getting more and more panicked, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Let me out! I want to get out of here!"

Xiao Wang took the opportunity to further press the issue: "I can let you go, but you have to tell me first, what happened in the Lingdie Temple twenty years ago?"

Huang Yefei was unable to move at this moment. If the murderer killed him, he would not have the strength to resist.

He couldn't stay here and die.

Huang Yefei was like a trapped beast, his eyes were red, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"There was a plague in Luzhou. After the plague was over, Prince Renxian ordered people to build a memorial tablet and Lingdie Temple on Qibao Mountain to commemorate and save those who unfortunately died in the plague. But twenty years ago, Lingdie Temple was suddenly hit by a fire and burned down completely."

Xiao Wang asked: "Where are the monks in the temple?"

Huang Yefei avoided the other person's sight and whispered, "They were all burned to death."

"Why did the fire start? Was it an accident or was it man-made?"

"Afterwards, the government sent someone to investigate and confirmed that it was an accident."

Xiao Wang was skeptical about this matter, and he continued to ask: "What is the relationship between Lingdie Temple and Mengdie Villa?"

"This was originally the site of the Lingdie Temple. Chu Wangshan paid to buy this land and converted it into the current Mengdie Villa."

When Huang Yefei said this, his voice had become hoarse and his nerves were stretched to the extreme.

"I have told you everything I know, please let me go!"

Xiao Wang looked at him with scrutiny: "Is that all you know?"

"The Lingdie Temple was burned down twenty years ago. I wasn't even born then. That's all I know!"

Xiao Wang looked directly into the other person's eyes, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "If things are really that simple, why are you so frightened? You clearly have something to hide. There must be another story behind the fire in Lingdie Temple. What are you hiding?" Huang Yefei was speechless by his question, and more and more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Wang said in a deep voice: "At this point, you still refuse to tell the truth?"

Huang Yefei's teeth trembled: "I, I am telling the truth."

"This is your last chance, and you still don't want to cherish it. Well, since you don't even care about your own life, why should I worry about you?"

After saying that, Xiao Wang turned and left.

His pace was slow, giving Huang Yefei enough time to change his mind.

However, until he walked out of the house, he did not hear Huang Yefei calling him.

In the end, Huang Yefei chose to conceal the secret.

……

Yan Ciwan and Chaolu finished listening to Xiao Wang's narration.

There was a brief silence in the ear room.

Chaolu couldn't understand: "Huang Yefei knew that the murderer came here for what happened in Lingdie Temple 20 years ago, why did he still refuse to tell the truth? Isn't he afraid that he will be killed by the murderer too?"

Yan Ciwan tried to put himself in Huang Yefei's situation and analyzed: "Maybe he knew that he would die if he told the truth, so he could only conceal it. Anyway, there are so many people in the villa, and he may not be the next to die. He still has time to save himself."

Everyone has a sense of luck. Now it's not just Huang Yefei, I believe everyone else in the villa is the same.

They all felt that they might not be the next unlucky person, so they all chose to hide it.

Xiao Wang took another sip of ginger tea and said softly, "Judging from the reactions of Manor Master Chu and the three escorts, the fire at Lingdie Temple was not an accident. However, the government closed the case as an accident. There must be something fishy about this matter."

Yan Ciwan said thoughtfully: "Is there a traitor in the government who deliberately closed the case hastily? Or is the perpetrator so skilled that the government can't find any clues? It would be great if I could see the files of the fire at Lingdie Temple that year."

Now that they are trapped in Mengdie Villa, it is impossible to look into the old case through the files.

The only way before them now is to get the truth from those who know the inside story.

The medicine in the pottery jar was ready. Chaolu wrapped the ears of the jar with cloth and carefully poured the medicine into a bowl. She took the medicine to the next bedroom and carefully poured it into the mouth of the unconscious Fuxue.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yan Ciwan, Xiao Wang and Chao Lu said goodbye.

Lingniang thanked them again and again.

"Thanks to your help today, thank you so much."

Yan Ciwan warned: "The murderer has not been caught yet, so make sure to close the doors and windows tonight and be alert."

"Okay, I understand. I'll take you out."

"No need. It's snowing hard outside, and it's not convenient for you to go out. Just stay here and take good care of Fuxue. We will come to visit you tomorrow." After Yan Ciwan said this, he left Wanxiangyuan with Xiao Wang and Chaolu.

The three of them walked along the wind and rain corridor and returned to Shaoguangyuan in the wind and snow.

It was already evening.

A Ping brought them dinner, and after eating, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Before going to bed, Xiao Wang checked all the doors and windows to make sure they were closed.

A night passed, and at dawn the next day, Yan Ciwan and Chaolu walked out of the room after washing up. They were about to find Xiao Wang to have breakfast together when they heard the courtyard door being slammed.

Yan Ciwan walked over and opened the gate, and saw Aping standing outside.

Ah Ping said anxiously, "Another person has died. My Lord, please go over there immediately!"
