Chapter 9: Murder in Broad Daylight [1st Update]
Nangong Nuo'er returned to the palace with the medicine given by Ruan Chen, and then immediately ordered someone to boil it for herself. When Lin Yixiang came back, Nangong Nuo'er was sitting in the house drinking tonics. Lin Yixiang smelled the not-so-pleasant smell and asked suspiciously, "Are you feeling unwell?" β
"It's not." Nangong Nuo'er hesitated for a moment and replied honestly: "It was a tonic taken from Ruan Chen." β
Lin Yixiang thought about it for a while, and then understood the true purpose of this medicine. With thin lips pursed slightly, he walked to Nangong Nuo'er's side, looked at her with a rare solemn attitude, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you know what happened to Lu Zhiyao's previous children?" β
Nangong Nuo'er thought about what Lin Yixiang said, and just as she wanted to answer him, she heard Lin Yixiang continue: "Do you really think that you really just think that the queen and the crown prince don't want her to give birth to this child?" I'm telling you, it's the father who doesn't want this child. Not only did he not want this, but he wouldn't even want our children. So now is not the time to have children, you have to be clear about that. β
Nangong Nuo'er looked at Lin Yixiang wordlessly for a while, and a touch of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
"My stomach is not moving, it can't have anything to do with you, right?" Nangong Nuo'er asked the question from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't want Lin Yixiang to answer her with silence. "Are you acquiescing?" Nangong Nuo'er stood up, glaring at Lin Yixiang.
"I'm here for your good, if you want to suffer like Lu Zhiyao, I don't have anything to say."
Lin Yixiang replied simply, Nangong Nuo'er knew that what he said was reasonable, but he was still angry.
The two were in a stalemate for a whole day, and it was not until the next day that Lin Yixiang took the initiative to show goodwill to Nangong Nuo'er, and the situation eased somewhat.
Lin Yixiang took Nangong Nuo'er to wander around the street, and occasionally floated into his ears about the recent Gu family, which made the two of them remember it. On the way back to the palace, the two talked in a low voice.
"Who did Han Mu hear about Xia Han from, have you found out clearly?" Nangong Nuo'er turned her head to look at Lin Yixiang and asked.
"He himself is confused, but although he is just chasing the wind, he still can't underestimate this problem." When Lin Yixiang thought of this, his heart felt like a stone had been pressed. "The emperor's side also ordered the whole city to search because he was worried, and it has been a few days now, but no one has been found."
"Didn't you send someone to check it out?" Nangong Nuo'er knew that Lin Yixiang had arranged Shi Ziyuan to go out, but she just didn't speak. "If it's Shi Ziyuan, you should be able to find something, right?"
"It's still investigating, maybe there will be a whereabouts in the next two days." His every move couldn't escape Nangong Nuo'er's keen eyes, Lin Yixiang calmly accepted this fact, lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about it, how is the prince and the Qing Ming Kingdom?" β
This time the alliance with the Qing Ying Kingdom is much more cautious than last time, and even Nangong Nuo'er has many things that he doesn't know. She sighed and said with some frustration: "Brother Crown Prince does not allow me to interfere, so I don't know about this matter. β
Lin Yixiang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he didn't mention it anymore, and took Nangong Nuo'er back to the house.
Lin Yixiang and Nangong Nuo'er don't know much about the affairs of the Qing Netherworld, but there is one person who has replaced their previous roles, and that is Jiang Han.
After Jiang Wei's death and during the period when he was injured, Jiang Han used Liu Shengyuan to successfully transfer the power that belonged to Jiang Wei to Liu Shengyuan. Although Liu Shengyuan's official position is not high, his role is not small. He doesn't have the heart to climb up now, not so much that he doesn't, but rather that he doesn't dare. Knowing the truth of "tree big wind", he would rather be a petty official and enjoy the blessings than become the target of others, and die early.
Jiang Han has always been running errands for Lin Yichen in secret, and the loyalty she showed also made Lin Yichen willing to give her more opportunities. Of course, he also began to give this woman a little "sweetness" once in a while.
Lin Yichen's occasional tenderness made Jiang Han deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself, and it also increased Lin Yichen's weight in her mind a lot. has been trying to dig out something about the Qing Ying Kingdom from Liu Yiyu's mouth, but unfortunately Liu Yiyu's mouth is unexpectedly tight, so that Jiang Han can't detect half of the useful information.
On this day, Jiang Han was in Liufu to contact Liu Yiyu, the two were talking and laughing while walking, and the maids behind them saw that their masters were very emotional, so they all chatted.
Jiang Han knew that someone from the Qing Netherworld had recently come to the capital again, and she inadvertently mentioned this matter to Liu Yiyu, wanting to make sure that those people had contacted Liu Yiyu, but Liu Yiyu put on a look that she didn't know about it at all, and it was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
The two were chatting happily, but Liu Yiyu's expression changed little by little. Jiang Han looked at Liu Yiyu's gradually pale face, and felt that something was not quite right.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Han held Liu Yiyu, who was about to lose her footing, and asked with concern.
"Stomach, stomach ache." Liu Yiyu almost lost her ability to speak immediately, and gave some weight of her body to Jiang Han, Liu Yiyu said with an uncomfortable face: "Maybe I ate the wrong thing." β
Jiang Han immediately called the maid not far behind him and helped Liu Yiyu into the room. Looking at Liu Yiyu, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning, showing no signs of getting better at all, Jiang Han said uneasily: "Why don't you find a doctor to come and take a look at you?" β
"It's out of the way." Liu Yiyu smiled weakly, "I'm greedy, I ate a lot of things in the morning, and I'll be fine in a while." β
Jiang Han sighed helplessly when he heard this, "In that case, I'll go back first, if you are uncomfortable all the time, let the slave go to the doctor, don't stand up." β
"Well, I know." Liu Yiyu laboriously accosted Jiang Han, "I can't send my sister today, my sister will go slowly." β
Jiang Han walked out of Liu Yiyu's room, went out of Liu's mansion, got into a sedan chair and headed home. Leaning his head against the window, Jiang Han frowned slightly thinking about what she could do for Lin Yichen next, and Jiang Han, who was concentrating, was stunned for a moment after hearing the screams coming from outside the sedan chair, and then suddenly reacted to what was happening.
The sedan chair stopped, it was not far from Jiang's mansion, and it was able to see the gate of its house. Jiang Han escaped from the sedan chair, looked at the prisoner who dared to commit murder in broad daylight, and ran towards Jiang's mansion with his legs drawn, shouting "help" in his mouth.
As if he had been ambushed here for a long time, the gangsters who wielded their swords and killed people also changed from one person to two under Jiang Han's shouts, and attacked the guards who came to protect Jiang Han.
Jiang Han was so scared that he couldn't help himself, he really couldn't imagine that he could encounter this kind of thing in broad daylight at his doorstep. She hid in the wall of many guards besieging the city, and her face was not much better than Liu Yiyu just now. Seeing that the two people who were fighting with the guards were approaching him little by little, Jiang Han was already covered in cold sweat with fright.
Fortunately, there were too many guards rushing out of Jiang's mansion, and they had a great advantage in numbers. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two men stopped and fled after killing some people.
Jiang Han, who was in a state of panic, almost "floated" back to the room, feeling that her feet were empty and her body was a little unstable, so she asked the guards to guard her door, so that she could sit down and think about things with peace of mind.
Who wants her life? Who would dare to be so bold and attack himself in this way?
Jiang Han racked her brains and thought about it, there were only a few people she had offended, and the most likely of them might be those in the Eight Emperors' Mansion. But will today's events have anything to do with them? Jiang Han felt that it was unlikely, but he couldn't completely rule out this possibility.
Fortunately, as Lin Yichen stayed by Jiang Han's side for a longer time, the number of guards assigned to her also increased, and their strength was much stronger than those at the beginning. If it weren't for these people, Jiang Han thought that he would not be unharmed today.
Because there was still some time before dark, the government quickly intervened in the matter. Lan Ruoya, who had been sent, inspected the guards who had died tragically, and was stunned when she found a mark.
"What's wrong?" The entourage beside her noticed that Lan Ruoyan was wrong, leaned over to look at her line of sight, and asked.
Lan Ruoyan looked not far away, and then slowly looked sideways to meet the man's gaze. Gu Shi's body was also moved back by them two days ago, so they were very impressed by the word "sin".
"This ......" The man's expression changed in an instant, and he looked at Lan Ruoyan uneasily, and he asked in a low voice, "This won't have anything to do with any gangs, right?" β
As people from the Yamen, what they are most afraid of is that this kind of thing will happen. Those who roam the rivers and lakes have very high martial arts skills, and there are quite a few of them. In recent years, most of the ** people who have committed murders in this area of the capital are the killers of Feihelou, and the whereabouts of these people are erratic, so basically the cases related to them have been suppressed nine times out of ten.
What exactly the word "sin" means, no one has yet been able to figure out. Whether it is as the people say, they want to oppose Feihelou and make a name for themselves in the capital, no one is sure. It's just that the target they chose this time seems to be wrong. The person who picks the prince, how can the prince sit idly by?
Lin Yichen, who was in the palace, couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart after hearing the news.
"Who is the other party, don't you have any clues?" Lin Yichen looked at the minion in front of him and asked in a cold voice.
"I can't see my face clearly. The skills are average, not a master. However, according to the Yamen's arrest, they found this near the body. The man handed the things in his hand to Lin Yichen and said, "This is the same as another murder that happened in the capital a few days ago, and the things found at the scene." β
Lin Yichen glanced at the symbol marks drawn on the paper and crumpled them into a ball.
"How many people have us killed?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Yichen's mouth, "Stand down, I'll investigate this matter myself." β
