Chapter 156: Assassination
"Lord Xiao, I'...... I'm also in trouble......"
"Alright, don't talk nonsense to this king! Now that this king is in front of you, why don't you recruit it truthfully?! If you are willing to tell this king what happened, and make a personal witness, maybe this king can save your life! ”
When Chen Xian Ling heard this, his eyes immediately rolled up, he tilted his head, stared at Xiao Jingcong, and asked in his mouth: "Lord Xiao, are you serious?" ”
"Of course! This king has always spoken in a way that is the same! Xiao Jingcong made a guarantee to Chen County.
Chen Xianling pondered for a while, as if he had made some major decision, then nodded violently, gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Jingcong.
"Okay, Lord Xiao, Xia Guan believes in you! Xiaguan has entrusted the lives of the whole family to you! ”
"Got it, hurry up and explain."
"Yes......"
……
Xiao Jingcong learned the ins and outs of the flood from Chen Xianling's mouth, and after successfully escaping from the county government's mansion, he returned to the alley where he listened to the horse before.
Untied the reins, Xiao Jingcong got on a fast horse and went straight to the city.
By the time I returned to the Zhenguo General's Mansion again, it was almost dawn.
Xiao Jingcong didn't hesitate and returned to the bedroom, wanting to see how Yan Zixi was doing. He came to the side of the bed and glanced at Yan Zixi.
Fortunately, Yan Zixi was still asleep, and Xiao Jingcong finally settled down.
Xiao Jingcong gently grabbed Yan Zixi's hand, put it in her palm, and looked at her quietly.
After waiting for about half an hour, Yan Zixi's eyelashes moved slightly, as if she had woken up.
"Jing Cong......" Yan Zixi opened her eyes and saw Xiao Jingcong sitting next to the bed, Yan Zixi hurriedly scolded angrily, "Jing Cong, you big bastard......"
Yan Zixi scolded while clenching her fists and pounding Xiao Jingcong's chest, "Bastard, bastard, bastard...... It knocked me unconscious...... Go out on an adventure alone...... It's so bad......"
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong pretended to cough twice, Yan Zixi immediately stopped her little pink fist, and then raised her head in a panic, and asked Xiao Jingcong with concern: "Jingcong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Did I hit you in the wound? How's it going, the wound isn't cracking, is it? ”
Just when Yan Zixi was panicking, Xiao Jingcong suddenly clasped Yan Zixi's hands, and then hugged her in her arms and comforted her.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, Xi'er, as long as you don't get angry." Xiao Jingcong said softly to Yan Zixi in her arms.
"Jingcong, promise me, you won't run out alone in the future, and in the next time, you will stay in the house and take care of your injuries, okay?" Yan Zixi didn't know how to persuade Xiao Jingcong anymore, she really didn't want to see Xiao Jingcong have any accidents.
Xiao Jingcong looked at the affection in Yan Zixi's water-cutting autumn eyes, of course she knew how worried Yan Zixi was about him.
Xiao Jingcong nodded solemnly, and promised Yan Zixi: "Xi'er, I promise you that I will not be in danger alone in the future." I will listen to you, stay in the house to recuperate, and don't let our Xi'er worry about me! ”
"Jingcong!"
Hearing Xiao Jingcong say this, Yan Zixi finally settled down.
"By the way, Jingcong, have you found out anything?" Yan Zixi thought about it, and then asked again.
Xiao Jingcong nodded, "Last night, I broke into the yamen of the county government again, and then tied up that Chen county order......"
"What?! You tied up Chen County's order?! Xiao Jingcong said it as if nothing happened, but Yan Zixi, who was listening on the side, was already dumbfounded.
Xiao Jingcong immediately told everything that happened last night, but he didn't tell Yan Zixi about the woman in black who she met in the county government study yesterday.
I don't know if he was worried that Yan Zixi would be jealous or something, in short, he didn't explain, probably he wanted to wait for the matter to come to an end before telling Yan Zixi.
And the woman in black didn't seem to have much to do with the flood, Xiao Jingcong said it would only make Yan Zixi more troubled, so she simply hid it.
After listening to what Xiao Jingcong did last night, Yan Zixi couldn't help but shake her head and sighed leisurely. Love to nibble on books
This Xiao Jingcong, when did she become so impulsive?
Yan Zixi frowned, and couldn't help but feel faintly worried in her heart.
If Chen County Ling knew Xiao Jingcong's identity, then Xiao Jingcong would be completely exposed to the light, and the other party had not appeared in the dark, and now Chen County Ling would probably be killed.
Xiao Jingcong saw that Yan Zixi's face had been gloomy and sad after hearing this, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Xi'er, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Jing Cong, Jing Cong, have you ever thought that now that Chen County's identity has been discovered by you, will his master directly kill people and kill him?"
Yan Zixi's worries, Xiao Jingcong had also thought about it early in the morning.
"Well, I also thought of what you said, so I have secretly sent a small team of men and horses to ambush near the county office, and once there is any movement there, they can immediately dispatch!" Xiao Jingcong said confidently, not worried at all.
"But Jing Cong, what if a killer has already been planted by Chen County's side?"
Yan Zixi woke up the dreamer with a word, Xiao Jingcong slapped her head, and screamed in her mouth, "Oh no! How could I not have thought of it! ”
"Xi'er, I'll go out and explain some black winds, and ask him to quickly protect the safety of Chen County's order!"
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong hurriedly turned around, ready to go out and call the guard Hei Feng.
But before Xiao Jingcong walked to the door, the sound of the black wind came from outside.
"General, are you there? Black Wind has a warning! ”
"Come in!" Xiao Jingcong "chuckled" in her heart, and suddenly a bad thought rose.
After a while, Hei Feng pushed the door in, first saluted Xiao Jingcong, and when he saw that Yan Zixi was also in the house, he also saluted her.
"Tell me, Black Wind, what the hell is going on?"
Hei Feng glanced at Yan Zixi, as if he was asking Xiao Jingcong's opinion.
Xiao Jingcong waved her hand, "Don't worry, Xi'er is my princess, if you have something to say, there is no need to hide it!" ”
"Yes!"
Hei Feng clenched his fists, and then opened his mouth to say, "General, just now the secret agent came with the news, Lord Chen of the county government...... ...... have been assassinated."
"What?!"
When Xiao Jingcong heard the news, he almost stood unsteadily, and took several steps back.
Yan Zixi hurriedly got up and got out of bed, came over to support Xiao Jingcong, and helped him sit on the stool.
"Jingcong, are you alright?"
"I'm fine...... Xi'er, I really got what you said......" Xiao Jingcong was very annoyed at this time, thinking that her plan had been seamless, but she never expected to reveal it in this most critical step.
Chen County's order is Xiao Jingcong's most critical witness, and now that he is dead, there is no proof of death.
Not only that, I'm afraid that at this time, the gold and silver treasures in the underground secret room of the county government study will also be transferred out by others, right?
Fortunately, there was no other exit from the underground chamber, which meant that the only way to get those gold and silver treasures out was to go out through the front and back doors of the county government.
And these two positions, Xiao Jingcong has sent guards to wait day and night, I believe it should not be so easy to transfer away.
But now if there is only physical evidence, the convincing power is much weaker.
Xiao Jingcong gritted her teeth, her fists clenched even more, and she slammed the table hard, blaming herself and scolding herself in annoyance.
"Jingcong, I can't blame you for this, don't blame yourself...... It is said in the book that a saint must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and you are just an ordinary person, how can you not make any mistakes at all? So, don't leave me in the future, I can mention it from time to time in your body! ”
