Yang Xu glanced at Yang Fugui, Yang Fugui understood, "hehe" smiled, like carrying a chicken, carried the man in black out of the firewood room, and strode outside.

On the empty space on both sides of the door of Yangjia Restaurant, there is a row of wooden stakes for temporary tethering horses.

Yang Fugui carried the black-clothed man to the wooden stake, took off his clothes three times and divided them by two, leaving only a calf nose robe to cover the vital point, and then tied it firmly to the wooden stake.

The man in black was stuffed with something in his mouth, at this time, he didn't say that he was biting his tongue and committing suicide, but he couldn't do it if he wanted to scold, he only felt extremely humiliated, his body struggled hard, there was a sound of "hmm" in his mouth and nose, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Yang Hongyu and Yang Jing are secretly monitoring, and if someone comes to rescue or extinguish the mouth, they will take action.

With the strength of the two of them joining forces, as long as it is not a grandmaster-level master who appears, they are sure to leave it behind.

"Smack!"

A slap in the face of a man in black.

Two streaks of blood spilled from the corners of the black-clothed man's mouth, and his cheeks suddenly swelled.

"This king asked you to check Yang Xu's identity, but you can't even do this little thing! Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! This king has raised you for so many years! ”

That night, in a secret room in the Jin Palace, Zhao Yi, the second prince of Zhao and the king of Jin, pointed to a man in black kneeling in front of him, jumping like thunder, yelling and screaming, and the gentle and elegant image of the past disappeared.

"The original intention of the subordinates was to catch Yang Xu, force him to find out his true identity, and then release him. But he didn't expect that when he was about to succeed, he suddenly killed a woman. The strength of that woman should be a first-class master, and her subordinates and others are not her opponents, so they have to withdraw first. Sun Huai walked a little slower and fell into the hands of the other party......"

The man in black knelt on the ground, his head bowed, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Sun Huai was arrested, and this king fell into passivity! The Qin Wangfu is likely to intervene in this matter, in case that Sun Huai confesses to you, and the Qin Wangfu will follow the vine, it is possible to find out this king...... You say, "What should this king do now?" ”

Zhao Yi said angrily.

The man in black was one of King Jin's powerful henchmen, and he was ordered to investigate the identities of the other three shareholders of the Yang Family Restaurant except for the Qin Wangfu, but he didn't expect to fail when he made a move against Yang Xu, and one of his subordinates also fell into the hands of Yang Xu and others.

Zhao Yi was previously known as the virtuous king in the officialdom of Zhao State and among the people, and if this matter spread, it would be a blow to his reputation, so Zhao Yi, the king of Jin, would be so angry.

"Sun Huai is a person, and his subordinates understand that he fell into the hands of the other party, and he will not reveal his identity if he dies. But for the sake of safety, we must immediately try to save people, and if we can't save them, then we can only ...... Extinguish! ”

There was a fierce glint in the eyes of the man in black.

"Maybe the other party will use Sun Huai as bait, set a trap, and wait for you to take the bait......"

King Jin smiled coldly.

"The subordinates will send a few dead soldiers. If they can succeed, they will kill themselves on the spot, and they will not cause trouble for the prince. ”

The man in black resolutely said.

King Jin sat down dejectedly, waved his hand weakly, and said, "You can do this matter!" If you can't do it again, you don't have to come back to see this king! ”

"Yes."

The man in black bowed deeply to the ground, then slowly got up and retreated.

At the same time, the East Palace Prince's Mansion.

Today, Zhao Ji, the prince and crown prince of Zhao State, is talking about the assassination of Yang Xu with several henchmen.

Yang Xu is talented, good at financial management, has a great reputation in the imperial capital, and has an old relationship with Zhao Bang, the king of Qin, so he entered the field of vision of the crown prince Zhao Ji and received special attention from Zhao Ji.

In Zhao Ji's view, even if a talent like Yang Xu cannot be used for himself, he must not easily let the third brother Zhao Bang take it into his pocket and become a big help for the third brother to win the heir.

So from the perspective of his own interests, Zhao Ji hoped that something would happen to Yang Xu, so when the news came that Yang Xu was assassinated but was safe, he still felt a little regretful.

"You say, who will assassinate Yang Xu this time?"

Zhao Ji was in a good mood today, and asked a few subordinates with a smile.

A subordinate pondered for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that this matter is definitely not done by ordinary people. ”

The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Tell me about ......"

The subordinate said: "Ordinary people know that top hotels like Yangjia Restaurant have tough backers, where do they dare to provoke?" And it is said that the four men in black who assassinated Yang Xu are all masters, where can ordinary people do it? ”

The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not an ordinary person, then it should be some powerful people." ”

The subordinate said: "And it's not an ordinary magnate!" Now the magnates of the imperial capital, who doesn't know that the Qin Wangfu is standing behind the Yang Family Restaurant? And if you dare to move Yang Xu, you can't get along with the Qin Palace, and if you look at the imperial capital, there are only a few people who can compete with the Qin Palace......"

The prince chuckled and said, "Among these few, there are the prince and the second brother of the prince. ”

The subordinate said: "Since this matter is not the prince's doing, then only the King of Jin is the most suspicious...... Of course, the subordinates are just guessing. ”

After a pause, he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, King Jin seems to have no interest in the throne on the surface, but in fact, he is even more threatening to the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than King Qin. We may be able to make a fuss about Yang Xu's assassination......"

The prince thought for a while and said, "Although King Jin is suspicious, there is no evidence, how can we make this article?" ”

The subordinate smiled darkly: "There is no evidence, we can make some evidence...... It's easy to blame for this kind of thing. ”

The prince's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, a fierce look appeared in his expression, and his palm slapped on the several cases in front of him: "It's done!" ”

The assassination of Yang Xu reached the ears of many people who paid attention to him, including Zhao Bang, the king of Qin, and Yan Feixue of Yihong Courtyard.

Zhao Bang didn't say anything, just asked Su Cheng to secretly pay attention to this matter, and at the same time, at the request of Yang Xu, he sent people to secretly investigate the matter.

And Yan Feixue was secretly relieved to learn that Yang Xu was fine, and began to think about who would kill Yang Xu.

For a while, there was an undercurrent surging in the imperial capital, and I don't know how many people's eyes were focused on the Yang Family Restaurant and Yang Xu.

And Yang Xu, who was at the center of this turmoil, seemed to have nothing to do, he should eat, drink, and be as chic and comfortable as before.

Because the Yang family restaurant offered a reward of 1,000 silver, thousands of people in the imperial capital came to see if they could recognize the person who was stripped naked and tied to a stake outside the door of the Yang family restaurant.

The business of Yangjia Restaurant has become even more prosperous because of the sudden increase in the flow of people in the vicinity.
