Chapter 67 Spider Web Appears

At this critical moment, a sudden shout attracted everyone's attention.

"Report--"

"Report to the eunuch, Huang Shan is missing!"

One of Wei Chengji's eunuchs came in a hurry and reported loudly.

After hearing this, Wei Chengji loosened his grip, and the redness in Deng Weixian's eyes faded a little.

"Who is Huang Shan?"

The same question popped up in Li Xuan and Deng Weixian's minds.

But Wei Chengji's face sank, and he glanced at the charred corpse on the ground, and then glanced at Deng Weixian, who was still glaring at him with a fierce face and tears in his eyes.

Wei Chengji didn't care at all, and even had a disdainful smile on his face, and let go of Deng Weixian's head and ignored him.

"Young people are hot-tempered. The young eunuchs who have just entered the palace are much less servile than us."

Wei Chengji shook his head and laughed. Thinking of this, he smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and his face was calm again, as if the demon who had previously questioned Deng Weixian was not him.

He turned around and asked the person who came to report: "What's going on? Isn't Huang Shan recuperating? Where did he go?"

Huang Shan is the real name of Eunuch Huang.

Hearing the word recuperating, Li Xuan and Deng Weixian also guessed Huang Shan's identity.

And like Wei Chengji before, they silently turned their eyes to the charred corpse on the ground.

"Could it be..."

Not only the two of them, but others also began to have the same guess.

"Recuperating?"

"Are you talking about the eunuch who stole your bellyband a few days ago?"

Xia Wanfeng expressed his guess.

"Looking at other people's reactions, it should be."

"But why did he burn to death in my room?"

Wang Suyue frowned, and one of her bare hands subconsciously pressed on her lapel. A bad guess suddenly emerged in her mind, making her feel panic and nausea.

She remained calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

But she was a martial artist after all, and she immediately realized that there was nothing wrong with her body.

But thinking about the small table that was seized a few days ago, the nausea in her heart did not ease at all.

Xia Wanfeng had been observing Wang Suyue silently, and clearly saw the changes in Wang Suyue's frown, then loosening, and then slightly frowning again.

She silently hugged Wang Suyue and comforted her: "It's okay, don't think too much."

"We are all by your side to accompany you."

Wang Suyue felt better after being comforted by Xia Wanfeng. Thinking that she had no real losses, she felt fortunate and gradually became open-minded.

In the field, Deng Weixian lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and silently reached out to wipe his tears so that no one could see.

As he gradually calmed down from his rage, his mind began to work rapidly.

"The charred corpse is Eunuch Huang..."

"Why was he in Concubine Wang's room?"

"At that time, the fire on his body was obviously more intense..."

"Before the house caught fire, he had been burned to death!"

"And a few days ago, he had just stolen Concubine Wang's bellyband and was severely punished!"

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Deng Weixian's mind, and it seemed that a certain "fact" gradually became clear in front of him.

And Li Xuan on the wall also reacted immediately, his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed: "Sure enough, there is a trick."

But besides being amazed, he couldn't help feeling terrible.

Deng Weixian's godfather was like a spider weaving a web, luring prey into his trap, and even making the prey willingly fall into the trap.

Even though Li Xuan and Deng Weixian were in the game, they could only see a corner of the whole network due to the limitation of their vision.

But even so, it was enough to amaze them.

"Is this the godfather's ability to set up a game?"

At this moment, Li Xuan was no longer worried about Deng Weixian's safety, and only wanted to watch his godfather's operation.

He was very curious about how the next thing would be led.

At this time, the accompanying eunuch who came to report answered Wei Chengji's question.

"Report to the eunuch, someone just went to deliver food and change medicine for Huang Shan, but found that he had disappeared long ago."

"So I came to report specially."

Such a big thing happened in Yanqu Hall, and Huang Shan disappeared at this time. Naturally, the people below did not dare to be careless and hurried to report.

As soon as the incident happened, the person was gone, who could not doubt you.

Unfortunately, the person is not only gone now, but also seems to be confused.

And the confusion is very thorough!

Everyone's eyes occasionally glanced at the charred corpse on the ground, and the suspicion was very obvious.

But as the eunuch of the seal room, Wei Chengji did not speak, who dared to say anything.

In the end, someone has to be responsible for today's events, and everyone certainly hopes that the dead will take the blame.

Otherwise, who can guarantee that the blame will not fall on themselves?

Wei Chengji naturally knew the little tricks in these people's minds.

But he still needed to check carefully before speaking.

As for perfunctory handling, that was the only way out.

And Wei Chengji couldn't stand someone shitting on his head again and again.

"Store the body well. No one is allowed to move without my order."

"Escort Xiao Dengzi to the woodshed. You two keep an eye on him. Don't let him have contact with anyone!"

Wei Chengji gave two orders and saw Wang Suyue and others were still there. He frowned and said to them, "You go back to the front hall and stay there. Don't run around!"

Seeing that Yinfang Gonggong's tone was stern, they didn't dare to disobey and agreed obediently.

Although Wang Suyue was one of the parties involved, she couldn't make her own decision unless Yinfang Gonggong asked her.

When several talented people were about to leave, Wei Chengji suddenly changed his words and said with a smile, "Wang Cairen is not feeling well. I will arrange a room for you to rest first."

"Xia Cairen, how about you temporarily take care of Wang Cairen?"

Wang Suyue and Xia Wanfeng were stopped and looked at each other.

Wei Chengji did not arrange for the maids to serve, but asked Xia Wanfeng to take care of Wang Suyue. Obviously, he had other considerations.

They naturally agreed immediately.

"We should follow the arrangements of the eunuch."

At this time, Ke Lian also asked: "Eunuch, can't we also take care of Suyue?"

The smile on Wei Chengji's face faded, and he said with a stern face: "Go back!"

"Woo woo woo--"

Ke Lian was frightened and cried on the spot.

Wei Chengji was not surprised, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Ke Lian who was crying non-stop.

After watching Wang Suyue and Xia Wanfeng go down to rest, he warned the other talents: "Remember what I said before, watch your mouths!"

The talents swallowed their saliva together, and then reached out to cover Ke Lian's mouth tacitly.

The crying stopped instantly.

Ke Lian sobbed silently, and small pearls kept falling on her face.

Ten thousand buckets of pearls were poured out, and thousands of jades were flying.

Ke Lian's expression became more aggrieved as she cried with her mouth covered.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, don't worry."

"We all know the rules."

The other people laughed awkwardly, covered Ke Lian's mouth, and escorted her back.

Deng Weixian, Wang Suyue, and the charred corpse.

All were taken away from here, leaving only a dark ruin.

Wei Chengji looked at the ruins and pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then he sighed, and then led people away from here, ready to go to Huang Shan's room to have a look.

Perhaps there are clues waiting for him there.
