Chapter 561: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Chu Qingli snorted, but she always felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, her intuition had always been accurate, and she always felt that something was going to happen, and sure enough, a few days later, the uneasiness in Chu Qingli's heart was confirmed again.
On this day, Xiao Pan came back with a black face, it was already late at night, Chu Qingli sat in the room and waited for Xiao Pan to come back, Chu Qingli knew that something must have happened.
I only heard Xiao Pan say in a deep voice: "Mrs. Liu has been assassinated." ”
Chu Qing was taken aback and got up from the chair: "What about Mrs. Liu?" ”
Before Xiao Pan could answer, Chu Qingli couldn't wait to continue asking, "Does Ningxi know about this matter?" ”
Xiao Pan shook his head, pressed Chu Qingli's shoulder, and signaled Chu Qingli not to worry: "I haven't told her yet, I'm afraid she's worried, Mrs. Liu is fine, but I sent a few secret guards, these assassins are not small, I have a general conjecture in my heart." ”
"The Sixth Prince?" Although Chu Qingli said the question, the expression on his face was obviously affirmative.
Xiao Pan nodded: "A few days ago, when the sixth prince was abnormal, I had already sent someone to secretly follow him to see what he was doing, but there were also secret guards around him, and he had not been able to get close to get the exact news, and he could only find out that his behavior was abnormal, so he could only prevent it, but it was not nothing, in the end, he squatted until a group of secret guards came out of his mansion, as if they were rushing out of the capital." ”
"These people are the ones who assassinated Mrs. Liu?" After Chu Qingli knew that Mrs. Liu was fine, he would also calm down.
"Well, I sent someone to follow all the time, looking at the direction as if I was following behind Mrs. Liu, this group of people is strong in martial arts, and they lost a few times halfway, but they are not far from ten, but there is no definite evidence to prove that they are the people sent by the Six Princes." Xiao Pan said that this is where the joints are, and his composure is also because of this suffocation, and he knows who it is, but there is no evidence.
This time, it was Chu Qingli's turn to comfort Xiao Pan: "Don't worry, maybe you can write to ask Mrs. Liu, since the assassination failed, there will definitely be a second time, why not lure the snake out of the hole like last time, and then catch the turtle in the urn?" ”
A gleam flashed in Xiao Pan's eyes, and then his face became much better: "It's a good way." With that, he walked to the study, and hurriedly picked up a pen and wrote a letter.
After finishing writing, Xiao Pan summoned the secret guard and ordered: "Give this letter to Mrs. Liu, and remember to hand it over to Mrs. Liu in person." "Since the actions of the six princes against Taifu Liu are so clear, there must be traitors in Taifu Liu's team, and they can kill two birds with one stone when the time comes.
The dark guard took the letter and set off, and the dark guard didn't dare to hand it over to the ordinary post station to send the letter, so he rode a fast horse and went to chase Mrs. Liu, and the tutorial of the dark guard alone was naturally different from Mrs. Liu's army.
However, the letter arrived in the hands of Mrs. Liu in two days, and it was one night, when the secret guard entered Mrs. Liu's room, and was almost stabbed into a sieve by his colleagues as an assassin for the sake of secrecy, but fortunately, he pulled down the masked black scarf at a moment's notice.
Seeing that it was his own people, the secret guards put away their swords, and sent a letter to the secret guards saying, "The prince has something to order, you should retreat first." ”
The other secret guards naturally had no objections, and disappeared into the room like ghosts, and the dark guards saw Mrs. Liu in a middle coat, and it seemed that they were preparing to go to bed.
The secret guard looked at Mrs. Liu's ruddy face, it seemed that Mrs. Liu was well protected, even if she didn't let the old man show his tired face even after running around for days.
Taifu Liu knew that this was Xiao Pan's person, so he also let down his guard and asked angrily: "Young man, does King Mu have a new order?" ”
The secret guard hurriedly took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Mrs. Liu, and then whispered in Mrs. Liu's ear: "The prince also said that you should pay attention to whether there are traitors in the team, let me give you a reminder." ”
Mrs. Liu nodded after listening, and looked at Xiao Pan's words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing by the dim candlelight in the room, but the simple eight words "lead the snake out of the hole, please enter the urn", what kind of person is Mrs. Liu, he is a dignitary minister who has always been standing, just these few words guessed Xiao Pan's meaning, plus the words that the secret guard said, Mrs. Liu instantly knew what to do next.
Mrs. Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, it was a thinking look, and the secret guard looked at Mrs. Liu's appearance, and said in his heart: This Mrs. Liu is not a person to deal with.
But fortunately, Mrs. Liu is an ally, not an enemy, and his task has been completed, so he doesn't plan to stay longer, so he opened the window on the side and jumped out after making a gesture at Mrs. Liu, and disappeared into the night by the way.
On the second day, Mrs. Liu began to make a game, starting from the show, first finding out the traitor, and then revealing that in order to block the last assassination, Mrs. Liu had run out of people who could use it, and after spreading this information, Mrs. Liu let his henchmen secretly observe to see who was abnormal.
Sure enough, on the night of the second day, the group of assassins couldn't hold back and wanted to take advantage of the night to deal with Mrs. Liu so that they could return to the capital to resume their lives.
This time, the assassin dispatched all the people, but he didn't know that he was caught by the prepared Mrs. Liu, and the person who reported the news was also caught, it was an accompanying official, surnamed Wang is a squire, and he is honest on weekdays, Mrs. Liu never expected it to be him, Mrs. Liu asked people to tie up Wang Shilang and send him back to the capital.
And Xiao Pan has been waiting for the news of Mrs. Liu in the capital, these days the six princes have been quiet, and they don't often raise the bar with the second prince in the court on weekdays, but Xiao Pan's eyes are sharp, he didn't ignore it, the smugness in the eyes of the six princes, I think it is estimated that the six princes think that their plan is going to succeed.
But there is a saying that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
The second prince always showed a hint of pride on his face when he saw Xiao Pan, the second prince and Xiao Pan have been brothers for many years, Xiao Pan naturally knew that he couldn't hide it from the second prince, but at the beginning he didn't tell the second prince about this plan, because he was afraid that the second prince and Liu Ningxi would worry about Mrs. Liu, so from the moment he received the news of Mrs. Liu's assassination, Xiao Pan has been holding it back.
The second prince asked him, and Xiao Pan just said mysteriously: "You will know in a few days." ”
The second prince knew that Xiao Pan didn't want to say anything, he couldn't pry Xiao Pan's mouth no matter how he asked, anyway, Xiao Pan wouldn't hurt him, he just waited.
The second prince didn't care about this matter for a while, since Xiao Pan mentioned how he and Liu Ningxi should get along, the second prince followed what Xiao Pan said, and sure enough, Liu Ningxi became closer and closer to him, and many things would be told to him, and he would also start to talk to Liu Ningxi about some political affairs, and Liu Ningxi didn't want to be an ordinary woman, and he also had his own opinions on political affairs, and the second prince felt that he had really picked up a treasure, so the two had a lot of exchanges, and they understood each other better, and their feelings were much better.
Xiao Pan saw that the second prince was not asking, and his expression was full of spring, knowing who the second prince was thinking, so he also retreated.
