Xiao Zhengqian read the files, confessions, and transcripts of the three cases several times, and discussed them with several close and important ministers with great interest for a long time, until the third watch did not stop. In less than four days, he was woken up by Yude again.

"Holy Lord, something has happened to the government office!"

Xiao Zhengqian came to his senses, "What happened to the government?" ”

"News just came that a group of assassins infiltrated the palace and kidnapped He Honglian from the prison." Yude replied quickly.

Xiao Zhengqian raised his eyebrows, "Didn't I send the Ouchi guards to watch at the mansion?" Why did you still ask the Assassins to rob people? ”

"The specific situation is not clear to the old slave." Yude listened to the displeasure in his tone, and hurriedly bowed down~ leaned down, "The Lao guard has returned, can the saint send him to see him?" ”

"Biography." Xiao Zhengqian commanded, got up and got out of bed, and didn't call the palace people to come in and serve, he took his outer robe and put it on his body, and went out of the room.

Lao Yang was already waiting outside, and when he saw him, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Weichen is derelict in his duties, please ask the saint to surrender." ”

"Get up and speak." Xiao Zhengqian sat on the ground of the golden knife in the first place.

Lao Yang Xie got up and told the details of what happened in the mansion.

On the order of Xiao Zhengqian, he led several Ouchi guards to lurk in the prison of the government and the place where the detainee's certificate was guarded, just to prevent someone from taking advantage of the dark wind at night to kill people and kill people.

The first half of the night was naturally calm and nothing happened. Suddenly there was a heavy fog around the hour, and in less than half an hour, it covered the sky and the moon, so thick that you couldn't see your fingers. The Assassins appeared under the cover of the mist.

Lao Yang is the undisputed leader among the Ouchi guards, and his abilities in all aspects are first-class. Although it is difficult to see the six roads under the dense fog, it is still possible to listen to the eight directions.

However, he didn't even notice the Assassins before they appeared. Like ghosts, they suddenly emerged from the fog in front of them.

The Assassins were so strong in martial arts that one of them entangled him and another guard surnamed Situ, while the others simply broke the lock and entered the prison, and in less than half an hour, they took the prisoner out of their noses.

Then, as it came, it disappeared into the fog. There was no trace of it.

"Those Assassins are so powerful. You two can't beat one of them together? Xiao Zhengqian was a little unconvinced.

Ouchi's guards are the elite who have spent countless manpower and material resources to cultivate, no, they are the elite of the elite, and they are helpless against a few assassins. So what is the guarantee of his safety as the king of the country?

"Wechen is incompetent." Lao Yang lowered his head in shame. "That assassin's martial arts are very strange. It's like it's specially trained for the Ouchi guards, and every move and style can restrain Weichen and Situ just right.

And his purpose is not to hurt people, but to entangle us and not get out. After the prisoner was robbed. The man immediately retreated, without a fight.

The battle situation on the side of Guard Dai and Guard Yan is a bit miserable......"

"What, there's a bunch of assassins?" Xiao Zhengqian interjected and asked.

"Yes, two groups of Assassins appeared almost at the same time. It's just that it was supposed to be a bait, and as soon as it appeared, it made a lot of movement and lured the patrolling government officers and soldiers over. An Assassin captured the girl as a hostage, and during the confrontation, she was shot by a stray arrow and died......"

Xiao Zhengqian was taken aback, "What? That 'Jane Lan' is dead? ”

"Yes, one shot through the heart." Lao Yang replied, "As soon as the 'Jianlan' girl died, the prefect Fang ordered the arrows to be released, and those assassins used the corpse of the 'Jianlan' girl as a shield, fought and left, and finally escaped.

Miss Jianlan's body was discarded in the alley outside the mansion, and it had been blurred by the arrows, and it was unrecognizable. ”

Xiao Zhengqian touched his beard and pondered after listening, two women with similar appearances, one was killed by an arrow, and the other was robbed, which was not so much a coincidence as an intention.

So, what's the purpose?

If their purpose was to kidnap He Honglian, they needed a bunch of assassins as bait, and they couldn't make any movement, so why did they have to go to the place where the detainees' cards were taken to make a fuss? There is only one explanation, the prison robbery is a disguise, and the real purpose is to kill "Jian Lan".

But why kill "Jane Lan"? Killing people and killing people should also kill He Honglian, who was exposed by defeat.

Those who should have been killed were robbed, but those who should not have been killed were killed with all their might......

"Holy." Yude shouted softly, interrupting his musings, "Holy Lord, Lord Fang, the prefect of Jinan Mansion, asks to see you." ”

"Just in time." Xiao Zhengqian waved his hand, "Xuan." ”

Yude agreed to go out to deliver the decree, and after a while, the prefect Fang came sweating profusely, and knelt down with a "poof" when he entered the door, "Shengshang, Weichen came to confess ......"

"I know everything that happened in the government, so you don't have to repeat it." Xiao Zhengqian was impatient to listen to him, and he interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth, "I just want to know, where did those assassins come from?" ”

Governor Fang was sweating like pulp, but he didn't dare to wipe it, so he had to squint his eyes half-squinting, lest the sweat flow into his eyes, "Back to the saint, the identity and origin of those assassins have not yet been ascertained.

It's late at night, and they must still be in the city. Wechen has sent officials and soldiers to search the city, and the city wall and the four gates have also sent additional people to inspect them. It's just that the fog is too heavy, and I'm afraid it's hard to find their traces for a while......"

Xiao Zhengqian's eyes sank, "Death by an arrow is indeed 'Jian Lan'?" ”

"Yes." Hearing that he no longer asked about the assassin, Fang Zhifu's tense heartstrings loosened slightly, and the answer of "yes" was particularly loud, "Wei Chen has already ordered the servant to be examined, although the corpse has been changed beyond recognition, but the birthmark on the body and the clothing and jewelry can prove that it is 'Jian Lan' Undoubtedly. ”

"Except for He Honglian and 'Jian Lan', can anyone else be robbed or injured?"

"Back to the saint, only He Honglian was robbed, and only 'Jian Lan' died. The jailers guarding the prison were all knocked unconscious, and there was no serious problem, and when the assassin fled, he wounded several government soldiers......"

Xiao Zhengqian didn't continue to ask, got up and paced back and forth for a few steps, and sat back again, "Fang Aiqing, you go back to the mansion and continue to send people to track down the whereabouts of the assassin, and try not to disturb the people." ”

"Yes, Weichen will go all out to atone for his sins." Governor Fang swore and kowtowed, and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Zhengqian set his eyes on Lao Yang, "Lao guard." ”

"Wechen is here." Lao Yang hurriedly bowed down and stood by.

"You go check it out right away, today...... No, before and after yesterday's court trial, who were the people who entered and left the mansion, and who had contact with Fang Hongsheng and the people in the mansion. Xiao Zhengqian's eyes sank, and his tone increased, "Remember, you have to check it out for me without landing on the ground." ”

There is such a group of assassins who know the Ouchi guards well, and they are running rampant by his couch, and they don't know how to sleep peacefully?
