Although he really walked all the way to the Dongyang Eldest Princess's Mansion on two legs before, leaving at this time, Yue Qianqiu would certainly not walk to the Jin Palace. Compared with the palace to the Dongyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, under his eaves and walls, it is about a distance of less than two quarters of an hour to run with a belt, and from the Eldest Princess's Mansion to the Jin Palace, it will take at least half an hour, and his two legs must be broken.

In the dead of night, he listened to the sound of horses' hooves while riding on his horse, and his mood was unconsciously a little irritable. However, the mount under him was not Snow White who could automatically take him to the designated place in a daze, so he didn't dare to get too distracted.

In addition, there has been a Xiao Jingjing today, there is an assassin in the Dongyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, and it is not easy to say what the snitch is in the Jin Palace, even if this series of events seems to be aimed at the Pei family, but he does not dare to relax his vigilance at all.

What if people think that in the end, there will be a big incident, and they will get rid of him by the way, which can not only kill the Pei family, but also kill him, so kill two birds with one stone?

With this kind of vigilant and uneasy emotion, he galloped all the way and did not dare to delay, and finally reined in in front of the Jin Wang's Mansion safely. Although it was already late at night at this time, the Jin Wangfu had not yet closed. Not only was the door not closed, but there were two bright red lanterns hanging at the door, and if it weren't for the four guards standing with great strength at a glance, it would be like a festival.

Before he could ask, a guard guarding the door rushed forward: "The ninth prince is back?" ”

While taking the reins, the guard added respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the King of Ying have both commanded, please go to the North Hall as soon as you return." ”

Yue Qianqiu knew that he had a chance to inquire about the inside story for a while, so he was not in a hurry to ask the guard, nodded and walked in quickly. As he walked through the front yard, he was shocked to find that the guards, who had not often patrolled during the day in the past, had all been dispatched in the middle of the night, all of them with knives, and they were all slaughtered, and they even stabbed twice meticulously when passing through the grass.

Seeing him coming, everyone saluted with their swords, but no one spoke, although Yue Qianqiu was in a hurry to go in to see the "uncle and nephew", he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

It wasn't until he passed through the heavily guarded front yard and entered the weeping flower gate, and was about to speed up his pace, that he found that there didn't seem to be so many people in this backyard, but in the shadow of the building, in front of the flower and behind the tree, there was a person hidden, who was loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

After passing through layers of defense lines, when he came to Zhengbei Hall and found that there was no voice to speak, he already had a very bad premonition - the Eldest Princess's Mansion was an assassin, not a snitch, but an assassin, right?

The little fat man has not experienced the bloody wind and rain of Beiyan, but he has experienced it himself. Those lawless princes and nobles of Northern Yan, even the Emperor of Northern Yan dared to assassinate, and even Xiao Jingxian once stuck a knife in his shoulder. But in Southern Wu, the case of assassinating an official of the imperial court has rarely appeared in the past hundred years, let alone the assassination of the emperor and the king, I have never heard of it!

Even the Northern Yan Qiu Hunting Division planned to provoke trouble before, but it was also framed and abducted, not for the purpose of physical annihilation.

Thinking of this, Yue Qianqiu calmed down, walked quickly to the door and knocked on the door twice. Before he could knock on it a third time, the door was slammed open, revealing the little fat man's face with red eyes, as if he was about to cry.

Yue Qianqiu had seen the little fat man kneeling down and crying to admit his mistake, and now after many years, when he saw him again, he was clearly crying, he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously blurted out and asked, "Something happened to King Jin?" ”

The little fat man bit his lip tightly, pulled Yue Qianqiu into the house, and looked outside. When he closed the door again, he couldn't help but drag Yue Qianqiu to the depths of the house, then put his finger on his lips and pouted, and then said in a very low and fast voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin was seriously injured by the assassin, and then dispatched all the guards in the palace, but only reported the snitch to his father. I was pretending to be someone else. ”

Yue Qianqiu muttered in his heart. Loaded? Do you have pepper on your eyes, can they be so red? Besides, it looks like it's going to cry a little too much, right?

Although Yue Qianqiu already knew that he had called Uncle Xiao Jingxian, the little fat man was still quite attentive at this time, and he didn't bring out the title without saying anything. Seeing Yue Qianqiu's frowns, he didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to see through his fake show, and was about to continue to explain what happened today, but he didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to suddenly glance at him.

"What about His Royal Highness the King of Jin? Playing golden cicada shelling again? Didn't he think it was too deliberate to use this trick twice? ”

"I'm not going to toss and turn over yet, only that trick."

Hearing Xiao Jingxian's idle voice, Yue Qianqiu frowned, and then immediately rushed over in three steps and two steps. When he walked around the screen and saw the figure lying on the soft couch clearly, and saw the bandages wrapped around his arms, and the open placket under his head, and the tightly wrapped around his chest, not to mention the bandage about half a foot wide, he couldn't help but sink his face.

"Really?"

"Don't forget, I'm still seriously injured, and as long as the assassins get in, I'm certainly no match." Xiao Jingxian put on that kind of natural attitude that was enough to anger people, but when he saw Yue Qianqiu's eyes darkened because of the words "serious injury has not healed", he laughed instead, "I know that you are soft-hearted, as long as you mention the old injury, you will not be so full of thorns immediately." ”

The little sentimentality and memories that Yue Qianqiu had just given birth to were also washed away by Xiao Jingxian's bastard words. He glared at the guy who had nothing to do with annoyance, but he didn't bother to listen to him, and pulled the little fat man out.

"I'm afraid to talk to him again, and I can't help but stab him. What the hell is going on, you tell me! ”

Even the little fat man, who has always respected Xiao Jingxian, felt that Xiao Jingxian's words just now were a little too cheap. He gathered his emotions and whispered.

"Didn't you all think that someone related to the Cheng family would come to listen to my tone today? As a result, I waited for a day and saw no one, and in the evening I was so idle that I went to the back garden for a walk. King Jin said he was fine, and he went with me. ”

Thinking that Yue Qianqiu was not there, no one quarreled with him, but he found that no one answered at all, and the little fat man was still a little angry: "I asked King Jin for some principles of being a man and doing things, but who knew that I suddenly heard that there was a snitch in the house!" His Royal Highness the King of Jin immediately took me to Zhengbeitang, who knew that on the way I met someone who claimed to report the matter of the snitch, and the result was ......"

Yue Qianqiu instinctively interrupted the little fat man and asked, "The result is that the snitch is fake, and the riot is real." Is it true to report the snitch, but is it true to wait for an opportunity to stab? In other words, the injuries on his body came from this so-called retribution? ”

The little fat man glared at Yue Qianqiu with a shocked face, "I didn't understand it until I thought about it with King Jin for a while afterwards, how did you guess it so quickly?" ”

Yue Qianqiu turned his head to take a look, but found that Xiao Jingxian on the soft couch was blocked by the screen, so he couldn't see what the other party was in at this time, let alone see the expression on Xiao Jingxian's face, so he could only snort coldly with contempt: "Ying Xiaopang, you are too easy to deceive." With this guy's fox-like cunning, it would take him a long time to figure this out? What about liars! ”

The little fat man was taken aback. He looked at the screen behind Yue Qianqiu in disbelief, and shook his head in disbelief for a long time, but soon perked up, stared at Yue Qianqiu suspiciously, and said, "Even if King Jin guessed it earlier than me, we all had such a guess because we had personally experienced this incident, how did you guess?" ”

"What, Ying Xiaopang, do you think I did it?" Yue Qianqiu was already annoyed by these recent messy things, and at this time he unconsciously said something heavier. But immediately after, he regretted it. After all, after all, Ying Xiaopang is no longer the foolish child now, he is still too irrational.

However, the next moment, the little fat man's movements made him stiff. Because, the little fat man suddenly rushed forward, and actually reached out and touched his forehead. Although he was agile and tilted his head back to dodge such a sudden attack, he was still startled.

"What are you doing?"

"See if you have a fever!" The little fat man scolded angrily, "What nonsense do you talk about without a fever, do you think I'm stupid?" Who thinks you did this? If you have this ability, Da Wu will change the sky! Did you know that after the assassination failed, the assassin immediately destroyed his face and killed himself! In addition to the fact that there is this kind of assassin in the historical assassin biography, if you go to the history books, when has there ever been such a person? How old are you to afford such a dead man? ”

What does it mean that if I have this ability, Dawu will change the sky? Little fat man, you underestimate me! Yue Qianqiu heard that the first half of the fire was big, but when he heard that he had committed suicide by destroying his face, he still didn't make a sound for a long time, and he had to admit that the little fat man was now quick in his mind and clear in his mind, and at the same time, he also turned his head and glanced at the screen again.

In his impression, Xiao Jingxian was a person who was seriously injured and refused to fall behind the Emperor of Northern Yan even if he used the medicine of the tiger and wolf, how could he let an assassin ruin his face so calmly and directly committed suicide?

Facing the little fat man with an angry face, Yue Qianqiu sorted out his mood and said bluntly: "The assassin actually imitated Yu Rang's lacquer body and swallowed charcoal, and Nie Zheng was disfigured after killing someone, of course I didn't guess it, as for the general course of the matter, the reason why I can guess it is because there is also an assassin in the eldest princess's mansion." ”

He briefly explained the situation, and when he saw the little fat man gasp, he immediately asked: "The assassins on the side of the Jin Wangfu were going to assassinate at that time, who were they aiming for?" Is it you or King Jin? There really weren't any traces left on him that could be traced? ”

When the little fat man heard that assassins had been mixed in with the Pei family to kill Cheng Qianqian, his heart was beating faster somehow, but Yue Qianqiu's question made him have no time to take care of his delicate mood, and immediately came back to his senses.

"I was the one who assassinated him, and the king of Jin was injured to protect me...... As for the clues left on the assassin's body, there really are no traces at all, we only found the body of the original palace guard in the well, the person was tightly tied, and the face was also cut to a bloody blur. The guards who were in the same class as this person had identified that the dead were real, and the assassin was fake, because although the body shape was similar, there were certain marks on the deceased's body that others knew, and he could not imitate them in a short time. ”

"Isn't that funny? There was suddenly one more person in the palace, and he killed the original owner in the palace to pretend to be him, so many shrewd and capable palace guards and subordinates, none of them noticed? Yue Qianqiu only heard it and discovered such a huge suspicion. But the next moment, he saw that the little fat man's face became a little hideous.

"There is not one more person in the palace, because one of the guards that my father gave me is missing."

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent, except for the breathing of three people. I don't know how long it took before Yue Qianqiu whispered: "If there is one less person in your guard, and the assassin is still disfigured and committed suicide, then in other words, he is probably not the guard assigned to you by the emperor?" However, he went to great lengths to infiltrate your guards, but he infiltrated the palace of the King of Jin, and then came to assassinate you again. It's not that I'm suspicious, but this series of actions is really a bit weird. ”

"Maybe this person killed himself by dishonoring himself, just to make people uncertain, is he the guard I was back in?" The little fat man's hands shrunk in his sleeves clenched into fists, and his breathing was a little heavy, "I asked afterwards, the missing one is a newcomer, not long after entering the forbidden army, of course, the identity is after the interrogation, and then transferred to follow me, but this is the first time to come out with me." ”

Thinking of the scene when Xiao Jing blocked the knife first, and the other party committed suicide with a disfigured face, the little fat man couldn't help but shudder again, and his voice became drier for a while: "Because I don't want people to know that I have a close relationship with King Jin, these guards are all placed in the outer courtyard and don't follow me, so that person may not be able to find a chance even if he wants to assassinate me earlier......"

At this moment, Yue Qianqiu had already gotten rid of the shock when he heard the news at first glance, and calmly interrupted the little fat man's words: "But if he wants to sneak into the inner courtyard, after Li Daitao is stiff, it will be more difficult to assassinate you under the pretext of the snitch coming in." If nothing else, did this person discover and spread the news of the so-called snitch haunting? If not, I'm afraid there is still an internal response in the Jin Palace. ”

"That's right, so according to Qianqiu's meaning, if this kind of thing happens in a place like the Jin Palace, I, the King of Jin, am more suspicious than anyone else, after all, although the bitter meat plan is clumsy, it has always been tried and tested."

Hearing Xiao Jingxian's words, the little fat man's face suddenly darkened, but when he looked at Yue Qianqiu, he didn't see resentment, but a little hesitation, obviously asking for information—or more precisely, asking for verification.

And Yue Qianqiu snorted angrily: "Did I say that you instructed it?" Do you think that you are so wise and powerful, and you are not the mastermind behind the scenes, so your heart is broken, and you insist on robbing a black hand to be the master? ”

After a long time, he didn't wait for Xiao Jingxian to continue to raise the bar, and then he continued happily: "I think that the person behind the scenes seems to deliberately want to highlight the King of Jin, whether it is good or bad, so that all the monarchs and ministers of Great Wu will notice you, and they don't want you to continue to be a rich idler." ”

The little fat man's face, which was so tense that it was obviously a little nervous, finally recovered a little at this moment. Of course, he doesn't want to be used as a donkey's liver and lungs, or even used by others. He took a light breath and said in as calm a tone as possible: "The missing guard is married to a Pei girl, although he is already a side branch, and he is dead, and now he is a widower......

Hearing this, Yue Qianqiu only felt that the previous speculation with the eldest princess of Dongyang had become more and more distinct.

Recently, every incident has pointed to the Pei family, as if the Pei family has suddenly become the source of all evil, and this series of events will be used to beat this once flowery and prosperous family to the point that it can't turn over!

Is it really necessary to follow the push of the people behind the scenes to completely knock the Pei family into the bottomless abyss?

Thinking about these messy things, before he knew it, Yue Qianqiu completely forgot about the incident where he took stock of the shop during the day today, and then went to report to the emperor.
