As the day slowly broke, the Soldiers and Horses Division counted the number of people and found that none of the forty-three masters and nearly two hundred slaves of the Lady of Qin's Mansion survived. The four commanders of the Soldiers and Horses Division were stunned and did not speak for a long time.

The worst death was Mrs. Yang. The old lady was burned to pitch black and curled up in a ball, and if it weren't for the Buddha beads in her hand, she couldn't be discerned at all.

On this day, the capital was in an uproar, and it seemed that even the air was filled with a bleak smell.

The tragic situation quickly spread to the emperor, and the two of them were in their ears, and the emperor and the latter two were furious, and the Ministry of Punishment, the Inspectorate, and the three divisions of Dali Temple were investigated and the case was investigated.

……

It was also on this day that Zhengyang took advantage of the night to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It happened that on this day, Gao Zecheng was in the yamen to discuss with the people of the three divisions because of the tragedy in the Qin State's wife's mansion.

Xia Shi was startled and was about to shout for help.

"Madame, it's me!" The voice is hoarse and muffled.

Under the dim candlelight, Zhengyang's eyes were sunken, his cloak was scattered, and his clothes were stained with blood.

Xia Shi hurriedly said: "What's the matter! ”

Zhengyang didn't care about the remnants of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said heavily: "Madam, something is wrong." ”

Xia's legs went limp, and he sat on the edge of the bed.

……

"In this way, the fire and robbers in the Lady of Qin's mansion are all ...... All the Janissaries did it? ”

Xia's face was frightened, and the fear in his eyes was incredible, but he didn't stop in his hand and bandaged Zhengyang's wounds.

Zhengyang gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said, "Madam, when I left the house last time." I found that someone was also checking Yao's house. So I followed the clues all the way. The person who checked the Yao family was Yang Fan, the uncle of the Lady of Qin State's mansion, who was cautious and very careful. ”

"Yang Fan?" Xia groaned.

Zhengyang nodded and said, "So I followed him all the way, and I found out a lot of news through him." Later, when he returned to Beijing, I thought about going to the Queen Mother's hometown again, so I secretly turned back again. Last night, I went back to Beijing and visited the Lady of Qin's mansion at night, trying to find out why Yang Fan wanted to inquire secretly, where did I know......"

Xia listened worriedly. Dense sweat oozed from the palms of the hands.

Zhengyang took a deep breath. Frightened, he said: "How do you know, those black-clothed people are up and down with knives, and they don't even let go of the children." ”

Zhengyang grabbed Xia's hand and exclaimed, "Madam." They are all first-class masters. Those people didn't even have a chance to escape for their lives. A sword seals the throat. I am hidden in the shadows, and I am noticed......"

"Zhengyang—" Xia exclaimed.

Zhengyang was stunned, and the fear in his eyes was empty.

She was noticed. The masked man drew his knife and slashed, but she had no way to dodge before she fought back. After a few moves, Zhengyang had the upper hand.

Unexpectedly, the fight alarmed the other masked people, and two masters rushed over one after the other, Zhengyang was one against three, and he only supported three rounds, so he felt bad. In a hurry, Zhengyang secretly performed light work to get out, and at this time, she was already covered in injuries.

As the saying goes, the safest place is the safest place.

Just when the masked man thought that Zhengyang had escaped from the mansion, when he chased him all the way, Zhengyang could not escape, and in desperation, he endured the pain and turned back to the Lady of Qin's mansion and lay on the roof of a mansion.

She had good eyesight, and when she saw that after the killing, the men in black gathered together, took off their coats, and ripped off their masks, revealing the clothes of the Praetorian Guard. And what these people are surrounding is actually Li Yingjie, the Marquis of Xiaoyao.

Zhengyang's mood at this time is no longer enough to describe it as shocked.

Xia Shi had already heard the blank face, and said in a lamented voice: "What the hell is this...... What's going on, why did the Praetorian Guard ...... Three hundred lives......"

Zhengyang felt a pain in his chest, gritted his teeth and said: "Because that woman is the illegitimate daughter of the Queen Mother and Xiaoyaohou." ”

As if a thunderbolt flashed on a sunny day, Xia Shi trembled in shock.

……

In the Nagato Palace, Li Yingjie's fat body fell to the ground.

A teacup smashed over and exploded at his feet. Li Yingjie's figure did not move.

"Look at what you've done, and there are still fish that have slipped through the net?" Empress Dowager Li was condescending, and her face was full of anger.

Li Yingjie was sad in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this person is strong in martial arts, with one enemy and three, he will not fall behind." The ministers ordered the people to chase them out for a few hours, but no one was seen, and the secret guards searched for half the night, helpless. ”

Empress Dowager Li shouted: "Who is it, hidden in the shadows? ”

Li Yingjie shook his head: "The minister sent someone to secretly investigate the Lady of Qin's mansion for ten days, and there is no such person in the mansion, the minister thinks that it should be outside." ”

"The ...... Outside"

Empress Dowager Li's eyelids narrowed: "Could it be the master invited by the old witch?" ”

Li Yingjie said silently: "The Yang family's every move in the past ten days is under the nose of the minister, this person will never be invited by the old witch." ”

Empress Dowager Li's eyes were like copper bells, her thin lips moved, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

In this world, the only people who can keep secrets are the dead. In this big scene, she and Li Yingjie have been discussing for several days, how to lay out and how to end, and they are all perfectly planned. I didn't expect that a master would come out on this road, which made Empress Dowager Li unexpected.

This man knows where he came from...... Empress Dowager Li didn't know anything, she only felt cold sweat all over.

Li Yingjie couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry, the ministers are tight inside and loose outside, and they will find out this person for the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Li glanced at him deeply, and let out a long sigh: "That's all it takes." Other than that, can a qiē be clean? ”

"Go back to the Queen Mother, clean and clean. No one escaped! ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded with satisfaction, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

……

What Empress Dowager Li and Li Yingjie did not expect was that the real fish that slipped through the net was curled up on the big bed of an inn five hundred miles away from the capital at this time, bursting into tears and trembling.

Old lady, old lady, you have been camping and fighting with that woman all your life, but you never expected that woman to be so ruthless and uproot the Lady of Qin's mansion.

Disaster of annihilation, catastrophe of destruction!

Yang Fan couldn't cry. Grief-stricken.

After a long time, he patted the edge of the bed and got up, his face was hideous, and his eyes were full of monstrous anger.

I saw him fall to the ground with a thud, kowtow three times in the direction of the capital, and gritted his teeth: "The unfilial son Yang Fan swears that in this life, he will avenge the blood of the Yang family." This revenge will not be avenged. Into the eighteen layers of hell. Eternal life, eternal life, no transcendence! ”

Yang Fan's eyes showed wolf-like ferocity.

……

Xia Shi looked at the shadow on the window, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhengyang's heart churned, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't think of it, that woman named Yao Wan." It turned out to be the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Xiaoyao. Then the third lady ......"

Xia Shi grabbed Zhengyang's hand. Said sharply: "Zhengyang." Will the Lady of Qin's Mansion be because of ......"

Xia trembled and didn't continue, but Zhengyang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Lady of Qin's Mansion...... Yang Fan...... The tragedy of the destruction of the door...... Praetorian Guard......

If this is the case, then it must be the Queen Mother who found out that the Yang family was investigating her and the past of the Marquis of Xiaoyao. That's when the killer fell.

After all the passes, Zhengyang instantly understood what Xia meant. The teeth were clucking, and I was scared again and again.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the corpse was thousands of miles away. Today's Queen Mother is not the Son of Heaven, but she is better than the Son of Heaven. Hundreds of lives were killed overnight, just to keep the secret that could not be seen.

If the Praetorian Guards find out about her, then ...... Zhengyang didn't dare to think about it.

What made Zhengyang even more afraid to think about it was the reversal of the identities of Lin Xi and the third lady. In this way, Madame's desire to recognize Lynsey is impossible to achieve in this life and this life.

Xia and Zhengyang have been masters and servants for many years, and as soon as Zhengyang thought of this, Xia also thought of it.

If she insists on recognizing Lin Xi, it will inevitably involve the past of the old years. With the Queen Mother's ruthless methods, I am afraid that it will also be a disaster.

The master and servant glanced at each other, and both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

"The master is back!"

Xia hurriedly got up.

Zhengyang's eyes moved, and he said lightly: "Madam, I am injured and can't see anyone, I went out through the window." ”

"Be careful!" Xia's advice.

After a while, Gao Zecheng came into the house with a tired face, Xia greeted him, waited for the man to wash, and the couple lay on the bed and gossiped.

Xia thought about the tragedy in the Qin State Lady's Mansion in his heart, and said, "Master, how is the case investigated?" ”

Gao Zecheng shook his head: "The criminal department has no clue, these gangsters are very fierce, blood is flowing like a river, and there is no living mouth, which is simply miserable." ”

Xia said softly: "It's really a sin. The age of the young lady of the Yang family is ...... Hey, those robbers are too inhumane, and if they are caught, they should be cut with a thousand knives. ”

"It's hard!"

Gao Zecheng nodded and said: "There is no clue on the other side of the Criminal Department, those robbers seem to have fallen from the sky, and they flew from the sky, coming without a trace, going without a trace, I don't know where they are hidden?" The four city gates in Beijing are tightly controlled, and there is no trace at all, which is really strange. ”

Xia seemed to be careless, but he pointed out: "Is the criminal department really helpless and let the gangsters get away with it." In this way, there is only one way to wait to take off the official hat. ”

"That's not the case, the emperor, although the latter two are angry, they also know that it is not easy to handle the case. The Queen Mother issued an edict to let the Criminal Department conduct a thorough investigation, but there was no time limit. ”

"It's just a dozen robbers, and they have killed so many people, and those caretakers in the Lady of Qin's mansion, is it possible that no one can resist?"

Gao Zecheng's heart moved, he stroked his forehead and did not speak, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

Seeing this, Xia Shi whispered: "It's not early, let's go to bed early!" ”

……

At night, it is as deep as the sea.

The study room of King Jing's Mansion is brightly lit.

"Childe, more than 300 members of the Yang family died strangely, I have checked, except for those who were burned to death, the others were sealed with a sword." Qi Hui said expressionlessly.

"A sword to seal the throat?"

Lin Bei groaned. If you are not a master, you will never be able to be so quiet.

"Also, there are traces of oil in the area where the fire started, and it seems that the fire was used to cover something." Qi Hui frowned and analyzed.

Lin Bei was silent.

The Lady of Qin's Mansion had fallen a few years ago, and it was strong on the outside and on the inside. There are so many rich and noble families in the capital who don't rob it, but they fell for it first, what is the secret in this?

"What's going on over there from King Chu?"

"Hui Gongzi, since the Miss Song family ran away from home, the palace sent the Praetorian Guards to strengthen the guards. King Cheng Tian of Chu and Li Congwang were mixed together, spending all day drinking. In the past few days, General Liu has been going to Miss Lin's mansion every day, and there has been no movement in the rest. ”

Lin Bei said lightly: "He still doesn't give up." ”

"It seems that you are indeed not giving up, Childe, what should we do?"

Lin Bei thought for a while and said, "You don't have to do anything, just watch from afar." ”

"What about the Lady of Qin's Mansion......"

Lin Beidao: "There is no need to meddle, there are capable people in the Criminal Department." Besides, things that have nothing to do with us. ”

Qi Hui nodded.

"What's the news from my father-in-law, the mining of those mines is still smooth."

"Back to Gongzi, King Jing has secretly recruited troops, the mining of the mine is very smooth, and the business everywhere is slowly on the track. The letters of the Cui family are very useful, and the visits of the shopkeeper Lu and Qi Jin from city to city will be mastered in another year, and the commerce in the Xin country will be mastered. ”

Lin Bei bowed: "The territory of Guangxin Kingdom is far from enough, the Kyushu of the world, the Qi Kingdom in the southwest, and the Wei State in the north all need to infiltrate into it." The soldiers and horses of the Wei State practiced day and night, and within two or three years, there would be big moves. ”

Qi retreated for a while, and said in a dumb voice: "Childe, this Wen Ruipu is really a hidden person, in just two years, he has managed the mess of Wei State with a sound and impressive reputation, which shows his ability." ”

The candlelight fell on Lin Bei's face, as if it was covered with a pale yellow halo, and he turned his back and said quietly: "It is indeed a generation of emperors." The previous deep concealment is also Taoguang's great strategy. We need to speed up our actions. ”

Qi retreated to be embarrassed: "Back to Gongzi, the thread is too long, it's difficult!" ”

"What could be harder than it was ten years ago." Lin Bei sighed faintly.

Qi Hui's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Childe is very right. ”

"Prepare the horse, I haven't seen Xiaoxi for a long time, tonight, I'll take a look!" The corners of Lin Bei's mouth hooked.

……

The moonlight is as clear as water, and the wine fills the ground.

Li Yingjie dragged his tired body and went to the west corner to the study.

"Robbery!" A clear voice sounded from behind.

Li Yingjie's body trembled and smiled: "Naughty again!" ”

Lin Xi came out of the shadows, glared at him, and said angrily: "Grandfather has good ears! ”

Li Yingjie stroked Lin Xi's head and said with a smile: "Why don't you sleep at this time?" ”

"Grandfather has been out early and returned late these days, and the dragon is gone, and Xiaoxi hasn't spoken to his grandfather for several days."

"Missed your grandfather?"

"That's nature!" Lynsey took him by the arm and helped him to his study.

Li Yingjie's heart swelled with a strong sense of relief, and he only felt that the one he paid to protect this child, including those many lives, was worth it.

"What is Grandpa busy with these days?" Lin Xi asked casually.

"What else can I do, earn more dowry money for you." Li Yingjie joked.

Lin Xi said angrily: "Grandfather will coax me!" ”

Li Yingjie paused, and his chubby face smiled out of folds: "What are you coaxing you to do?" You are fifteen years old, and sooner or later you will get married, and your grandfather will save more dowry for you while you can still move in the past two years, and marry you to the prime minister's mansion in a beautiful manner, which is also a good thing. ”

Lin Xi said shyly: "Who said that I must marry to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" (To be continued......)
