Taking Blood
He didn't look like he was fine at all!
Fu Yuansheng sneered, "I say, Lin Shu, are you scared? You weren't there at the time, but I saw the skeleton being fished out of the well with my own eyes. I'm a coward, so I wasn't afraid, but you were so scared. That's really strange. Aren't you usually very brave? "
"What nonsense are you talking about? I... I'm not scared! " He stubbornly denied, "I was just wondering how Guo He died. Didn't he... leave the academy a year ago? Why did he suddenly appear in the well? "
His voice became softer and softer.
He clenched his fists, his palms sweaty.
Fu Yuansheng was also puzzled. He placed his elbows on the table and supported his chin, "I'm also puzzled. Do you think the skeleton belongs to Guo He? I don't think so. After all, it's just a portrait. Who knows if she drew it randomly? "
"Portrait?"
"Yes, she said she could draw a portrait of the skeleton when it was alive. In the end, she only drew one. Not to mention, it does look similar to Guo He. But whether it's him or not, we don't know. Anyway, if Teacher believes it, there's nothing we can do."
"When she was competing with me last night, her drawing skills were worse than a three-year-old child's. How could she draw a portrait?"
Lin Shu questioned.
Who would believe that a person who could only draw messy lines could draw a portrait?!
Faced with his doubts, Fu Yuansheng leaned closer and said, "Lin Shu, I really didn't lie to you. It's true. She drew it in front of all of us. Although it doesn't look exactly like Guo He, there are still some similarities in terms of charm. The portrait isn't exquisite and was drawn in a hurry, but the drawing skill is there!"
Lin Shu thought, So, that person went easy on me last night?
Damn it!
But at this moment, his mind wasn't entirely focused on Ji Yunshu's painting. Instead, it was on the skeleton in the well.
He pulled Fu Yuansheng and asked, "Are you sure that the skeleton is Guo He? Then, did you find any clues about the murderer? "
"Not yet!"
"What else did that Ji fellow say?"
"She didn't say anything else. She just told me to leave first. She wants to continue investigating, but I don't think she'll be able to find anything. We'll have to wait for the officials to come."
Hearing this, Lin Shu heaved a sigh of relief from the tightness in his chest.
Fu Yuansheng felt that his reaction was a little too agitated, so he carefully probed, "Lin Shu, about Guo He's death... you don't know anything, do you?"
He suddenly reprimanded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How would I know? I don't even know if he's the one who died. "
"That's true."
"Alright, alright. You've said what you need to say. Hurry up and go. I want to rest for a while."
He was ordering them to leave!
Fu Yuansheng patted his robes and stood up. "Alright, then I'll rest well. I'll be leaving first."
He turned around to leave, but just as he reached the door, he bumped into two guards.
The two of them had a grim expression on their faces. Their eagle-like eyebrows were like sharp swords, fiercely rushing up to their hair bun.
In short, they came with ill intentions!
"You guys are..."
Before Fu Yuansheng could finish his sentence, the two guards directly bumped into his shoulders and walked in.
Lin Shu, who didn't know what was going on, widened his eyes and immediately became vigilant.
He got up and took a few steps back. "What are you doing?"
He was very surprised.
The guards didn't care about the consequences and immediately grabbed his arms.
"What are you doing? Let go of me, let go of me... "
He struggled and screamed.
The iron-blooded guards were very strong and ruthless. They directly pressed him down on the table. With a bang, the teapot on the table shook and jumped.
"What are you doing? Let go! "
His struggle was futile.
The guards had already pulled up his left sleeve. One of the guards quickly took out a dagger from his waist and mercilessly cut his arm.
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream.
Fresh blood slowly flowed from the wound on his arm. The guard immediately took out a small bottle to catch the blood.
"Let go, you're killing someone. I'm going to report this to the officials!"
"Shut up!" The guard said with a hint of ruthlessness on his face. "It's just a cut. We're not taking your life. Why are you shouting? If you scream again, I'll cut your neck. "
"Ugh!"
There was a saying that people would be terrified when they were about to die. Lin Shu was no exception.
After being threatened, he obediently lay on the table, motionless.
However, Fu Yuansheng was probably scared out of his wits. He was so frightened by this unexpected scene that he stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
He could only stare blankly.
Perhaps because the cut was too small, the speed at which the blood flowed out was very slow. The guard then made another cut on the cut.
"Ah!"
Another blood-curdling scream.
When the small bottle was filled with blood, the two guards released Lin Shu and tossed him a small bottle of Gold Sore Ointment before leaving elegantly.
From the beginning to the end, they were simple and violent.
Lin Shu slid to the ground after being released. He quickly covered his bleeding arm. Fortunately, the guards were gentle this time, so he didn't lose too much blood.
Fu Yuansheng quickly came in and helped him up.
"Lin Shu, how are you?"
"What do you think?"
He already had whip wounds on his body, and he was bitten by a snake. Now, he was bleeding. His lips were pale and colorless.
When he got up from the ground, he angrily slammed his hand on the table.
Smack!
"This isn't over." He slammed the ground. "Let's go and find Teacher."
"Find Teacher for what?"
"To seek justice."
Brother, are you complaining like a primary school student?
Thus, Fu Yuansheng helped him to find Teacher Yu.
At this moment, in Teacher Yu's room.
Teacher Yu sat cross-legged on a blanket, one hand resting on the low table in front of him.
Opposite him, Mo Ruo was checking his pulse.
On the other side of the room sat Tang Si, who had been dragged over by Shi Ziran.
She sat there with her legs spread apart. Her eyes were sharp and filled with resentment as she glared at the door. Shi Ziran had not left yet. He was standing in the courtyard.
Shi Ziran didn't want to watch her outside, but he was worried that she would go back and affect Teacher Ji's investigation. His Highness wouldn't let him off.
Little did he know that Tang Si wanted to kill him.
"Bastard."
Tang Si gritted her teeth and cursed him fiercely. Then, she pinched the small skull on her waist and clicked her tongue.
In short, her entire body was filled with hostility, as if there was a ball of blue flame lingering around her.
There wasn't the slightest hint of a woman's gentleness.
Ever since Shi Ziran dragged her in, Mo Ruo felt a headache coming on and started to resent Jing Rong.
That brat could've dragged this girl out and killed her, but he had to send her here. What was he trying to do?
