Chapter 14: Assassination

When Xiao Chongguang heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, he knew that what Lin Feng meant by this sentence was that there were some things that he could ask less about, and he could tell outsiders about everything.

"Lord Lin, this case is very important, I hope ······"

"Lord Xiao rest assured! The matter we discussed had nothing to do with Yuan Zhen's death," Xiao Chongguang didn't finish speaking, Lin Feng directly interrupted him, and his tone became stern, "Can you ask some other questions?" ”

Xiao Chongguang knew that if he continued to ask questions, he would not only not get an answer, but would be kicked out because of it, and it would be difficult to investigate in the future.

"Ahem, in that case, let's change the question, I don't know when you left Qingle Zhai that day? There may be anomalies in between. Xiao Chongguang coughed dryly and jumped directly to the next topic.

Xue Changqing thought for a while and said: "We probably left at the beginning of the ugly year at the end of the year, our mansion is located in different locations, and the direction is not the same, Lord Lin lives in Amway Fang in Xishi, and you also know Qingning Fang where I am located, it is very close to Tai'an Fang, and the detour road will soon arrive, and Lord Liu is the farthest in Shengping Fang, you must go out from the entrance of Tai'an Fangfang, and cross the street where the East and West City intersect and Jingkang Fang to arrive, so we don't know that he was killed at all, and we have no abnormal situation along the way." ”

"Did the two adults notice anything wrong when they were in Qingle Zhai?"

Lin Feng said: "If you want to say something wrong, that night I noticed that someone was secretly watching our private room, because I saw outside the door with the peripheral vision of my eyes, there was always a looming black shadow, of course, this is just my personal feeling." ”

"No wonder Lord Lin always opened the door and poked his head out from time to time that night, and I said that you were overly nervous." Xue Changqing suddenly realized.

Lin Feng nodded, and then continued: "I have been to Qingle Zhai before, and their rules there are that the small house in each private room is fixed all year round, and the original small house in the white crane room we contracted is called Liu An, and it was suddenly changed to another young man named Guo San that day, other than that, there is nothing strange about it." ”

"What about Lord Xue?"

Xue Changqing said: "It's the first time I've gone to Qingle Zhai, so if there's anything strange to say······ I remember," he looked at Lin Feng, "Lord Lin, do you still remember the master of Qingle Zhai?" ”

Lin Feng also suddenly remembered something, and said suddenly: "Not bad! That Wu Zhai Lord behaved strangely that night. Because our conversation was confidential, I instructed him to arrange a few men ten meters away from my private room to prevent anyone from prying eyes. Second, we speak to others about the things we meet here. I also gave a hundred taels of silver as a reward, and who would not be willing to accept such a profitable thing, although the fasting lord was next, he looked nervous, and his face was full of fear. I didn't think about it at the time, but it's unbelievable when I think about it now. ”

"I thought it was funny at the time, and I took the money, are you still afraid that we will eat him?" Xue Changqing also agreed.

When Xiao Chongguang heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "It seems that today, I have to go to Qingle Zhai for a walk." ”

East City, East City, Jingkangfang, Tiwei Mansion, noon

The Secret Pavilion of the Tiwei Mansion was run by dozens of Privy Councillors as usual, and the three-story building was similar in style to the temple's Scripture Pavilion, with most of the bookcases in it, and only the first floor was a reading room for the Doctors to look through the archives and a quadripartite room for calculating the calendar and astrology.

At this time, they were ordered by Xiao Chongguang before leaving, to search the archives of the officials of the DPRK and China, especially the ministers who had been attributed to the crown prince and the prime minister.

At this time, a young doctor was next to the cabinet A, flipped through the last file, frowned, and said, "Strange, why can't I find the file belonging to the Spiegel Division?" ”

The documents in the A-shaped cabinet are archives that contain the files of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but there is no information about He Qian.

A white-bearded doctor said, "We don't have any files from the Spiegel Division. ”

The young doctor scratched his head and said, "Why now?" ”

Doctor Whitebeard sighed: "Don't say we don't have it here, even Jingzhao Mansion can't find it, the Spiegel Division is the direct subordinate secretary of the Holy Lord, and their files are only available in the Xuanji Pavilion of their own Spiegel Division." No other place is allowed to keep any documents related to the Spiegel Division privately, and this is a rule that the emperor has decreed. ”

"The Holy One is too partial to Spiegel." The young doctor muttered.

"You are looking for death, dare to say such things, if the guard commander hears it, you will have to be rewarded with fifty rods." Dr. Whitebeard retorted.

The young doctor quickly shut his mouth.

"Who said there are no Spiegel paperwork here," at this time, a middle-aged privy counsellor held up a stack of papers and smiled, "There are no documents here." ”

The white-bearded doctor hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and his face immediately became grim: "I have to tell Lord Xiao about this matter immediately." ”

Tai'an Fang, East Capital West City, late afternoon

"Brother Xiao, do you believe what Xue and Lin said? Could it be that what they are talking about has already been arranged? Lu Yunsheng asked in a low voice.

At this time, Chongguang and Yunsheng had already left the Xue Mansion, although Xue Changqing and Lin Feng were frowning, but he and Xiao Chongguang both knew that Liang Xiang had already greeted them before they came, so the things that Xue and Lin narrated were made up by Liang Xiang.

"I think what Xue and Lin said is still credible, because concealing this matter will not do them any good, but will attract suspicion, they will not be so stupid. Furthermore, when I asked them if they were discussing anything other than the conscription order, they were very resistant, and if they had been prepared, they would have made another perfunctory argument, so why did they refuse to answer? Xiao Chongguang expressed his opinion.

Although the group of officials was very slippery, this case was not something that could be passed casually.

"That's right. But no matter what, everything will be clear when you go to Qingle Zhai and ask. Lu Yunsheng said.

Just as the two of them were talking as they walked, a white light suddenly shot towards them from top to bottom from the front!

"Be careful!"

Xiao Chongguang stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Yunsheng away, and then quickly sideways to avoid it, and before he could stand up, a sharp knife stabbed over!

Sogo leaned over again to dodge, drawing his saber to block the attack. He looked intently and saw that the attacker was a man dressed in cloth and masked with black cloth, and there were seven people in total, and Lu Yunsheng had already fought with several other masked people.

"What a big bold! Dare to assassinate Tiwei on the street in broad daylight! Xiao Chongguang shouted angrily, the assassin's behavior was obviously to despise the Tiwei Mansion.

Where did the assassins have time to talk nonsense, they directly killed with knives, Xiao Chongguang also raised his knife to face the battle, and the surrounding people saw this, and they were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

After a round of sword light and sword shadow, three masked people were already cut to the ground, and the remaining four were still fighting with Xiao and Lu, but they obviously fell into the downwind, especially Xiao Chongguang, the saber in his hand was in his hand, as if he could roll a whirlwind and whirlwind, even if he blocked horizontally, he couldn't resist it, and was directly shocked back.

Although this group of assassins has some skills, after all, the martial arts of the two guards are very comparable, otherwise they would not be able to sit in their current position.

When the fourth masked man fell, the remaining Assassins could no longer resist it and had to make a false move and flee into the nearest alley.

"You want to leave without a result?"

Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng were willing to let go, and chased after them.

When one of the Assassins saw this, he pulled a handful of ashes out of his bosom and threw it at them!

Since the last time the prince used this trick, Sogo and Yunsheng already had a way to deal with it in their hearts, as soon as they saw this ash, they first raised their hands to cover their eyes, closed their mouths tightly, and held their breath at the same time, when the ashes were scattered, they couldn't hurt them.

Seeing that the ashes could not be used, the assassin immediately shook his sleeves slightly, and then turned sharply, and suddenly five or six white rays flew out from his sleeves!

"Silver Dust Needle!"

Xiao Chongguang saw clearly this time, the hidden weapon of the silver dust needle, due to the relationship between the material, is poisoned and does not change color, therefore, the person who can use it must be poisonous, he and Yunsheng had to stop, see the number of roads clearly, and at the same time wave the knife to block, the assassin took this opportunity to speed up the pace.

"Drink!"

At this moment, a large net fell from the sky, just in the middle of the three fleeing assassins, and six figures flew down from the eaves on both sides, and Sogo saw that they were his own guards.

It turned out that when the assassins were assassinating, the guards who were patrolling nearby learned from the fleeing people that there were Assassins who wanted to kill people in the street, and the so-called standing high could see far, and the guards jumped directly on the roofs of the houses and hurried over, and happened to see the Assassins fleeing along the deep alleys.

"See Xiao Tou, Lu Tou." The guards bowed their hands and saluted.

Xiao Chongguang just nodded, and then said, "Bring this dry assassin back to the dungeon of Tiwei Mansion and interrogate me severely!" ”

"Xiao Tou, who are they? Is it related to our case? One of the guards asked.

Xiao Chongguang said: "I don't know for the time being, let's talk about it when I take it back." ”

"Whoa."

In response, the guards tied up the nets, found a wheelbarrow carrying grain nearby, and carried the net and the Assassins onto the cart, with the three in front and the three in the back.

Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng still had to go to Qingle Zhai, so they didn't accompany them.

Looking at the figures of the guards in the distance, Xiao Chongguang's eyes rolled, he thought of something in his heart, his face instantly turned blue, and he patted Yunsheng's shoulder and urged: "It's not good!" Go to Qingle Zhai! ”

According to normal thinking, what assassin would be stupid enough to kill someone in the street in broad daylight? This kind of behavior is as reckless as the Green Forest Bandit can't do it, which is completely illogical. There is probably only one reason why people would do this: to stall for time.

If this group of assassins was really related to Liu Yuanzhen's assassination, then what to do with delaying Sogo and Yunsheng's time?

Nature has nothing to do with where they are going!

I'm afraid something has happened to Qingle Zhai!
