In the middle of the night, Li Yanqing was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door, "Li Shaojun, something happened!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly got up and opened the hatch, and a guard hurriedly said: "Zhu Mian was assassinated!" ”

Li Yanqing was taken aback, and hurriedly followed the guards to the prison cell, Jiawang Zhao Kai had already arrived first, the prison cabin was brightly lit, only to see Zhu Mian lying on his back in the corner, his trachea was cut, his neck was full of blood, the blood had coagulated, and a pair of goldfish eyes were even more convex, as if he was dead.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Zhao Kai's anger finally broke out, he turned around and slapped the guards on duty a few times, "How do you take care of people!" ”

The guards covered their faces and lowered their heads, no one dared to say anything, Li Yanqing said calmly: "Your Highness, don't blame them, Zhu Mian was cut off in his sleep, so he couldn't shout." ”

"So what now?" Zhao Kai shouted a little angrily.

Li Yanqing touched Zhu Mian's body, "The corpse is still warm, it should have just died not long ago, the assassin may still be hiding on the boat, search first!" ”

"Why don't you search for it!" Zhao Kai roared like thunder.

"Your Highness, where is the iron box?" Li Yanqing asked anxiously again.

"In my cabin."

"Your Highness, hurry back and take care of the iron box."

Zhao Kai suddenly realized that he must not fall for the assassin's trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, he turned around and ran towards his cabin with a few guards.

Li Yanqing opened Zhao Kai, and then carefully checked Zhu Mian's wound, Zhu Mian's trachea was cut by a very narrow sword, so the cut was not deep, and Zhu Mian struggled for a long time before he died.

He found that a large amount of blood seeped out from behind Zhu Mian, so he turned the body over, and there was indeed a sword wound behind him, which was a fatal wound, and a sword pierced the back of the heart.

Li Yanqing tore off his clothes, revealing his back, Li Yanqing took a closer look at the wound on his back, and then looked up at the breathable window one foot square above his head.

Li Yanqing realized, turned around and ran towards the cabin, he ran to Qing'er's cabin door, and knocked hard, "Who is it?" Qing'er's voice came from inside.

"It's me, you open the door!"

"Big brother, I'm already asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"You open the door, I have something important."

In a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Qing'er's little face, "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”

Li Yanqing pushed open the hatch, strode into her cabin, and closed the door casually, he immediately smelled a bloody breath, Li Yanqing sneered, "Qing'er, where is your sword?" ”

"Big brother, what do you want to see my sword for?" Qing'er lowered her head a little weakly.

"I'd like to see if the blood on your sword is wiped clean."

"I don't understand what you mean..... What is the meaning? ”

Li Yanqing saw that there were still blood stains on her body that had not dried, so he said sadly: "Until now, do you still want to hide it from me?" The sword wound on Zhu Mian's body can only be left by your jade sword, and the ventilation window above can only be climbed into, how long do you want to hide it from me? ”

Qing'er suddenly sobbed and cried, "Big brother... I'm sorry! ”

Li Yanqing sighed, "Zhu Mian's crime is heinous, he is innocent of death, I have no opinion if you kill him, but I want to know, why did you kill him?" Who told you to do it? ”

"I asked her to kill her!"

A man walked out from behind the curtain, and the appearance was Daniel Zhang, no, the voice was wrong! Li Yanqing took a step back, pulled out his short sword and pointed at him and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

The man sighed, "Brother Qing'er, can't you even hear my voice?" ”

He wiped his face and removed his makeup, revealing a familiar face.

"Uncle Hu!"

Li Yanqing was stunned, this man turned out to be Hu Sheng in the past, Qing'er's father.

Hu Sheng sighed and said: "My name is actually Hu Cheng, I guess you also know, Qing'er saw me on the dock today, I didn't expect our father and daughter to meet here again, Brother Qing'er, you saved my daughter, buried my mother, let her die and have a place to go, there is no corpse wilderness, you don't know how grateful I am to you!" ”

Qing'er's eyes were red, she couldn't hold back anymore, threw herself into her father's arms and cried, Li Yanqing was silent, but a thought suddenly jumped from his heart, "Wait a minute, what about Daniel Zhang?" ”

Since Hu Sheng pretended to be Daniel Zhang on the ship, where did Daniel Zhang really go?

"Brother Qing'er, don't worry, that guard protects Qing'er, we won't kill him, we will release him afterwards, I promise!"

"We?"

Li Yanqing sneered, "If I guessed correctly, Song Jiang is also here!" Who else? Wu Yong, Chao Gai, Ruan brothers, Li Kui, Dai Zong......."

Li Yanqing reported the names of more than a dozen people in one breath, and Hu Cheng nodded, "They are all here, Zhu Mian's wealth can be obtained by everyone in the world." ”

"If you want wealth, why kill Zhu Mian?"

Hu Cheng hesitated for a while and said, "Brother Qing'er, I don't want to hide it from you, but I can't say it, I'm sorry!" ”

"In fact, if you don't say it, I also know that you don't want to do it under the eyes of 100,000 people, but you are worried that the army will come and ruin your plan, so you will get rid of Zhu Mian for us, and then hand over Zhu Mian's head to the people of Suzhou, the fleet can continue to go north, and you can find opportunities when you reach the wilderness, as for Uncle Hu, pretending to be Daniel Zhang to stay on the ship, isn't it a good internal response?" I'm right! ”

Hu Cheng didn't deny it, he sighed for a while and said: "You are basically right, but the last sentence is not finished, now I have changed my mind, since Qing'er has been discovered by you, I will not keep her on the boat, I will take her away now." ”

Qing'er looked at Li Yanqing and then at her father, her eyes full of pain and reluctance.

Li Yanqing said to her softly: "Qing'er, let's go with Daddy!" You've lost your mother, you can't afford to lose your father anymore! ”

"Big brother!" Qing'er screamed and threw herself into Li Yanqing's arms, Li Yanqing gently stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "Your name is Li Sanniang, pretending to be my sister, from today onwards, you will be called Hu Sanniang!" ”

At this time, the voice of the guard came from outside, "Only this side is left without searching, let's ask Li Shaojun first." ”

Li Yanqing bit his lip and pushed Qing'er to Hu Cheng, "Let's go!" If you don't leave, you'll be a problem for me. ”

Hu Cheng kicked the window open, and there was a canal outside, and he said to Li Yanqing: "This time Song Jiang and Fang La have joined forces, Zhu Mian's wealth is bound to be obtained, you have to be careful!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "They will be disappointed." ”

Hu Cheng took a deep look at Li Yanqing, and then pulled his daughter, "Let's go!" ”

Qing'er looked at Li Yanqing in despair, and she couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Big brother, Qing'er will definitely come back!" ”

After speaking, she jumped into the canal with her father, Li Yanqing slowly walked out of the window, looking at the father and daughter who were swimming farther and farther away, he couldn't help but sigh low in his heart.

At this time, the hatch was slammed open, and Zhao Kai rushed in with a few guards, he saw Li Yanqing, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Li Shaojun, why are you here?" ”

He turned around and shouted angrily at a few guards, "What's going on? ”

"We didn't know, we heard Xiaoqing's screams, and we thought she was kidnapped by the murderer."

"You're right, she was taken away by the murderer."

"Then ..... you" Zhao Kai was confused, Xiaoqing was taken away by the murderer, and Li Yanqing could still stand here calmly.

"Your Highness, let them go out for a while, and I'll talk to you alone!"

Zhao Kai waved his hand, and several guards retreated and closed the door.

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly and said: "The murderer is Qing'er's father, and today it is very coincidental that Qing'er actually met her lost father on the dock, Chen Xiaoyi and Daniel Zhang can prove it." ”

Li Yanqing told Zhao Kai what happened in the Daimyo's Mansion, "I don't want to hide it from Your Highness, I didn't expect Qing'er's father to defect to Liangshan, Qing'er is innocent, the murderer is his father, just now he also told me in person that Song Jiang and Fang La want to join forces to seek this batch of wealth, they have arrived." ”

Zhao Kai looked at Li Yanqing blankly, there was too much information in it, which made him feel numb, and he didn't know what to do?

Li Yanqing was unusually calm, he was silent for a moment and said, "Does Your Highness still trust me?" ”

Zhao Kai nodded, "I believe you won't lie to me, it's really as you said, then this matter has nothing to do with you, it's just ..... How should I explain to my father? ”

"Tell the truth to the Son of Heaven, let's just say that Song Jiang killed Zhu Mian in order to relieve the siege for us, he was afraid that the army would come and ruin his plan, I think as long as Zhu Mian's wealth can be kept, the Son of Heaven will not be disappointed in His Highness."

"Maybe you're right, the Great Song Dynasty lacks financial resources and urgently needs this batch of wealth supplements, as long as they are transported back to the capital, my father shouldn't blame me for not being optimistic about Zhu Mian."

"Then early tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness will behead Zhu Chong in public on the dock, and then show Zhu Mian's head to the public, the reputation of the Son of Heaven is there, and His Highness's reputation is also there, and we have turned a big circle, and we have returned to our original intention."

Zhao Kai nodded, he was very helpless in his heart, but he had no other choice.

"What about Song Jiang and Fang La?"

"I have my own way!"

Li Yanqing said lightly: "I will let them come empty-handed, go empty-handed!" ”
