Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Mansion
When he brought back the last killer left, Jiang Luoan had already guessed who had sent these people over.
This is just outside the national capital, they are still distinguished guests from a foreign country, ordinary people do not have the ability and courage to intercept and kill them here, only Wei Yan's emperor can do this.
After bringing the killer back for interrogation, the man bit to death and refused to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, and even committed suicide by taking poison while everyone was unprepared.
He also sewed a small portion of the poison onto the inside of his collar. Jiang Luoan didn't examine what was hidden on his body in such detail, so he let the killer bite through the poison and swallow it in the moment when the others were negligent.
But it doesn't matter. After his death, Jiang Luoan thoroughly searched what he was carrying. Perhaps negligently, he carried a secret letter ordering their assassination.
Wei Mian stepped forward to identify it, and made sure that this secret letter was written by his father.
The matter has been clear, everyone has tossed for most of the night, and now that the crisis is over, they all go back to sleep.
As soon as Jiang Luoan returned to his room and lay down, he heard a familiar voice in his ear, "I'm outside, you come out for a while." ”
She sat up from the bed in surprise, this was clearly Su Chenyu's voice.
Did he come along?
Jiang Luoan lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, put on a piece of clothing and quietly climbed out of the window.
The moonlight outside is bright, and although the inn is dark inside, you can clearly see the scenery outside.
Su Chenyu can transmit to her, indicating that it is near her.
Jiang Luoan looked around, but didn't find Su Chenyu's figure. Just as she was about to ask out loud, she suddenly looked up and saw Su Chenyu sitting on a tree in front of her, waving to her with a smile.
Realizing that Jiang Luoan had found out, Su Chenyu jumped from the tree.
It was breezy outside, and Jiang Luoan asked him to come into the house and say something.
The two of them re-entered Jiang Luoan's room through the window. After lighting the candles, the room was much brighter and warmer.
"Why did you come with me at this time? Did the emperor ask you to come over? Jiang Luoan asked.
Su Chenyu shook his head, "I didn't inform my father in advance. But he knew I was gone, and he should be able to guess where I went. ”
Jiang Luoan poured him a cup of hot tea, "Have you followed us all the way, why haven't I found out all the way." ”
Su Chenyu said with a smile: "I haven't been following behind, I have also dealt with some of my own affairs along the way." But today I did follow all the way. ”
Jiang Luoan remembered that those killers attacked at night, but in the end they fell to the ground inexplicably. If Su Chenyu had been following them, was he also doing this?
She asked tentatively, and Su Chenyu quickly admitted.
"At that time, I also hid after I found out that there was an ambush, and I was ready to go upstairs to help if you couldn't beat me, but I didn't expect you to lure people down directly. I took the opportunity to hide in a tree and drugged those killers. ”
After learning that Su Chenyu hadn't had dinner yet, Jiang Luoan gave him a roll of his eyes and found some snacks for him to eat.
"You know your own body, it's too weak to take care of it, in case you fall outside all night, and you won't even find anyone."
Su Chenyu quipped: "Then you don't just get rid of a sick person like me, and you don't have to work hard for me." ”
After Su Chenyu finished eating, Jiang Luoan asked him to go downstairs to find a room to live in, but Su Chenyu stayed with her and didn't leave.
"In the middle of the night, a stranger suddenly coming down from the upper floors will definitely alarm the shopkeeper. Besides, there are so few empty rooms here, and there may not be a suitable place to stay. Anyway, for this night, you just let me do it. Su Chenyu said as he took off his cold-stained coat.
In these matters, Jiang Luoan has never been able to resist Su Chenyu, seeing that he is unwilling to find another place to live, Jiang Luoan also let him live in his own house.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Luoan woke up, Su Chenyu had already disappeared.
They successfully entered Wei Yan's capital.
After entering the city, Jiang Luoan didn't want to enter the palace directly, but it was always a little unsafe to live in the inn, so she asked Wei Mian if there was any extra room for them to live in.
Wei Mian was hoping that they would live in his mansion, and when he heard this, he patted his chest to ensure that his mansion was big enough to arrange these people.
As soon as the group arrived at the door of Wei Mian's mansion, they were stopped by a masked man.
"All the guests who have come from afar, why don't you follow me to stay? I've arranged a room for you. The man deliberately lowered his voice, disguised as a different kind of voice.
Jiang Luoan recognized at a glance that the clothes of the person in front of him were exactly the same as those worn by Su Chenyu last night. She was about to ask him what the hell he was doing, when Wei Mian on the side stepped forward.
"Who are you and where did you come from? Why take them away? ”
Su Chenyu smiled and didn't answer directly, "I'll know this when you go back with me." ”
Wen Zhao became wary. When they came to Wei Yan, they were like sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and when they met such a strange person, he immediately wanted to do it.
Jiang Luoan stopped him, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't play anymore, take off the mask." ”
Su Chenyu obediently took off his mask, and the other three were taken aback.
Especially Wen Zhao was the most dissatisfied, "What kind of identity are you, how can you come to other countries casually?" And what does it mean to go to your mansion? ”
Su Chenyu didn't care much, "It's okay, I've already made all the preparations if I can come over." As for this mansion, it is naturally literal. ”
When he said this, Jiang Luoan was also a little curious. In what capacity did Su Chenyu buy the mansion in Wei Yan's capital, and how did he not let Emperor Wei Yan find out.
"Okay, then we'll go to Su Chenyu's mansion and stay without disturbing you." Jiang Luoan said to Wei Mian.
Although Wei Mian was not satisfied with Su Chenyu's interference in this matter, if he could really arrange Jiang Luoan and the others, it would indeed be much better than living here with him.
The emperor must know where his son lives, and if he adds more people to keep an eye on his movements, it will not be difficult to find traces of Jiang Luo'an's comings and goings.
Su Chenyu took them to his huge mansion. Jiang Luoan saw that there was no plaque on the gate, and he couldn't tell whose yard it was from the outside.
Entering the mansion, she found that although the courtyard was large, it was not completely repaired. Probably because Su Chenyu doesn't come here often, so he hasn't repaired it properly.
Su Chenyu arranged the house for the others first, and said that the empty house here was not enough, so Jiang Luoan could only squeeze and sleep with himself.
Jiang Luoan looked at the big courtyard, and then looked at Su Chenyu with disbelief in his eyes.
With such a large courtyard, who is it to lie to say that there are not enough rooms?
Seeing Jiang Luoan's disbelief, Su Chenyu spread his hands, "There are indeed only two guest rooms here, one for my father-in-law and one for Wen Zhao." If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. ”
Jiang Luoan looked around the courtyard suspiciously, and was surprised to find that Su Chenyu didn't lie to himself, there were really only two empty guest rooms here.
Su Chenyu said: "Just these two rooms were cleaned up quickly before I came, and the other rooms have not been completely repaired and cannot be occupied." ”
As he spoke, Su Chenyu pulled Jiang Luoan and dragged her to her room despite her objections.
"You can stay here in peace, it's better than going to those rooms."
As soon as Jiang Luoan and his party entered the city, someone quickly sent the news to Emperor Weiyan.
When the emperor heard the news, he was furious, and he did not expect that those who had been sent out by him to ambush outside the city early would not survive. Not only that, but they were unscathed.
Knowing that Jiang Aotian was powerful, the strength of the people sent by the emperor was not weak, but he still let them enter the city like this.
It's not so easy to attack them now. If they were to be dealt with outside the city, it could be said that they had encountered robbers who were blocking the road, but they had already entered the city, wouldn't it be a shame to use this reason to laugh at his politics?
Emperor Weiyan was angry, and he heard someone report that Zhehuai had come to ask for a meeting.
As soon as the emperor asked him to come in, he saw that Zhehuai had already entered his study, and it seemed that he had entered without waiting for his order to pass on.
The emperor had just heard a report on Jiang Luo'an's affairs, and he was irritable, and when he saw that this Zhehuai was so unruly, he couldn't help but be angry.
Zhehuai has also been a little troubled lately. He is in charge of the underground store, and he is going to open an auction soon, but there are some small problems, and now he is worried about how to solve it. He relied on his high status to occasionally make some arrogant moves, and the emperor generally didn't care.
This time I came to the emperor to discuss with him about the auction in the near future.
The emperor was angry, and he didn't have the mood or energy to listen to what Zhehuai said, so his tone was a little perfunctory.
How could Zhehuai not hear it? The emperor's attitude was not good, and the anger in his heart was also a little stronger.
The two talked for a while, but in the end they broke up.
Zhehuai finally left in a huff. When he was out of the house, the emperor waved his hand and threw his favorite set of fine porcelain tea sets on the table to the ground.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around. Relying on his own power, he didn't take me seriously. The emperor said angrily.
The eunuch who was grinding for him on the side hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the emperor, "Your Majesty, this person Zhehuai has always been this character, and you also know it, so you won't get angry just because of this matter, beware of being angry and ruining your body." ”
The eunuch said as he calmed his breath for him.
When the emperor's anger subsided a little, the eunuch said again: "Your Majesty, you are still pointing to using the underground store in Zhehuai's hands to obtain news and treasures, and it is not a wise choice to deal with him now. ”
The emperor nodded, "I know all of this, but if you look at him today, can I not be angry?" ”
The eunuch smiled and nodded along with the emperor's words.
The other scars on Wen Zhao's body had faded a lot, only the one on his neck was the deepest, and just by looking at the scars, he knew how dangerous the situation was at that time.
Jiang Luoan wanted to heal the scar on Wen Zhao's neck before the birthday banquet.
On the way here, she looked through the cheats she had brought with her, and found a cure from them.
But she didn't have many herbs with her on this trip, and there were several high-grade spirit grasses that she didn't have here.
She was still not familiar enough with Wei Yan, so she went to find Su Chenyu.
When Jiang Luoan went to Su Chenyu's study, he was reading a book with him. Seeing Jiang Luoan coming in, he closed the book and threw it aside.
"I want to ask, is there any place where this Wei Yan can find some high-grade spirit grass."
Su Chenyu replied without hesitation: "Underground store." After a pause, he said again: "What, you don't have enough spirit grass to bring, do you want to buy it there?" ”
Jiang Luo'an nodded, "The scar on Wen Zhao's neck hasn't healed yet, I lack a few flavors of medicine here, so I want to heal him before the birthday banquet starts." ”
Hearing that she was treating Wen Zhao again, Su Chenyu was a little surprised, and deliberately said, "I thought you were going to heal me." ”
Jiang Luoan couldn't help but punch him lightly, "It's as if I've never treated you before." ”
