Chapter 861: The Aftermath of the Return Journey (Part II)

In fact, it was not only those inside and outside the Chunxuan Building who were caught off guard by this sudden change, but also those brothers and subordinates who followed Yang Zhen straight forward were also at a loss, not knowing what kind of medicine was in their lord's gourd, and why they suddenly changed their minds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But they were accustomed to obeying Yang Zhen's orders, and they still followed closely behind, passing in front of the door of Chunxuan Tower.

It wasn't until he came to the east gate of Pingle with the surprised eyes of the people on the side of the road that Yang Zhen stopped castration and glanced thoughtfully behind him, he was waiting for Qu Feng, who had come back to his senses, to send someone to ask what was going on.

Before the waiting person arrived, his brothers couldn't help but ask: "My lord, what kind of idea did you have, why did you ignore the other party's good intentions?" Didn't Mo find something? ”

Yang Zhen nodded solemnly, and then his gaze fell on Hu Ge and Zhu Kongyan: "Do you see any clues and suspicions?" ”

"This ......" The two looked at each other, but they were speechless for a moment, they really didn't notice anything wrong.

"Do you remember what the prefect of Naqu said? He said that it was the state government in front of them that sent a letter to them, so that they waited near the city gate early. But no other state official has greeted us along the way. Yang Zhen pointed out the crux of the matter.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and when they thought about it carefully, things were really a little strange, how did the people in Pingle Mansion City know their whereabouts?

"There's only one explanation, and that's that someone has been watching us secretly. And the reason why he will inform Pingle Mansion is because he wants to do something here, and he needs Qu Zhifu to keep us. Yang Zhen said slowly: "And when I came to the Chunxuan Tower, I also felt a strong killing intent coming out of it, so I left first." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the carriage beside him where the second daughter was seated.

This feeling of proximity to danger is the sixth sense that Yang Zhen has developed in his two lives, and he has experienced life and death situations again and again, and he naturally trusts this feeling. In fact, if it was only these brothers, Yang Zhen would not only not retreat and flee when he encountered such danger, but would immediately attack with a backhand. But now, because there are two more people around him who need protection, he doesn't want Zhang Luo's second daughter to be damaged and frightened in any way, so he will make such a decision that surprises everyone.

Only then did everyone understand, and their expressions suddenly became solemn: "Isn't it that Qu Feng has already colluded with others, and he wants to set a trap here to be unfavorable to us?" ”

"He had colluded with the thieves of the White Lotus Sect before, and it seems that this guy is indeed in trouble. We can't spare him this time! Everyone was gearing up one by one, as if they had the intention of taking down Qu Feng and asking for guilt.

Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Qu Zhifu should not know the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed over in person immediately......" Sure enough, as far as his eyes could see, Qu Feng and several officials in the yamen were panting towards this side, and everyone was panicked and uneasy, obviously not knowing where he said or did wrong, and actually provoked Yang Zhen to leave like this.

Before and after finally rushing to Yang Zhen, Qu Feng almost knelt down, but was stopped by Yang Zhen with both hands: "Qu Zhifu doesn't have to be like this, everyone should also get up." He said to the officials who were already kneeling behind him.

"Lord Yang, what do you mean by this? But do you feel that the lower officials are not well entertained and treat you slowly? If this is the case, the lower official is willing to accept the guilt. Qu Zhifu asked with some confusion and grievance.

"It's just that I have to make such a choice because of the situation...... Yang Zhen patted the other party's shoulder to show comfort, and then he said his previous judgment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed. If they were panicked before, then now they are frightened, if the situation judged by Yang Zhen really happened, even if they escaped the disaster of the pond fish, this crime is not small.

After a while, someone shook his head in disbelief and muttered: "How is this possible, how ......is it possible?"

"If the Qu Governor's Mansion doesn't believe it, I can send someone to the restaurant to search carefully now, and see if I can catch the murderer who wants to be unfavorable to me. Also, if I don't expect it badly, there must be other problems in the restaurant. Yang Zhen said solemnly.

Qu Feng naturally didn't dare to be negligent in such a matter, and hurriedly turned around to discuss with several other officials, and immediately, there was a general judgment of Fucheng who hurriedly went towards the yamen, obviously to dispatch people.

And those brocade guards are also eager to try, they don't want to suffer such a loss. When Yang Zhen saw it, he nodded: "Yingyang, you and Hu Ge will take people to wait here, and the others will go back to Chunxuanlou with me to see what is going on." ”

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly agreed, followed behind Yang Zhen, rode back again, and went straight towards Chunxuan Tower.

After they arrived in front of the building, they saw a group of officers and soldiers quickly rushing over and surrounding the restaurant on all sides. Then, several officials rushed in from the wide open door and shouted: "Shopkeeper, Xiao Er, everyone comes out to speak for me." ”

But Yang Zhen, who was standing outside, clearly saw that the store was empty at the moment. You know, not long ago, when they were about to enter, there were many smiling members waiting here. Now the whole restaurant is empty, which is really weird.

The officers and soldiers who broke into the shop also noticed this, became cautious, and began to search around. And Yang Zhen also gave his brother a look at the right time, and everyone immediately entered the building quickly and skillfully checked in various critical positions and hidden places.

Half an hour later, the results of the palpitations came out one after another--experience, more than half of the wine and food prepared in the building were poisoned; In the kitchen and other places, it was found that there were many weapons such as knives, guns, bows and crossbows; What is even more striking is that in the cellar, there are not only several corpses that have been dead for many days, but also buried gunpowder, and the fuses have been drawn, and the power of these gunpowder is enough to destroy the entire restaurant and kill everyone in the building on the spot.

However, although the people found many dangerous things, the person who was about to assassinate him was long gone, and even the person who he was and what his identity was.

After listening to the series of reports from the people under his hands, Qu Feng's whole person trembled with fright. With this arrangement, not only will he die with Yang Zhen, but everyone will also target their suspicions at him afterwards, which will be a catastrophe for his family. This feeling of fear made him unable to speak for a while, and he could only look at Yang Zhen with frightened eyes: "Lord Yang, the lower official ......"

Yang Zhen, on the other hand, seemed very calm at the moment, and when he saw the other party like this, he smiled and said: "Qu Zhifu rest assured, I don't suspect that you have any conspiracy with these gangsters, you are just in the dark and used by them." ”

Hearing him say this, Qu Feng's heart felt a little calmer: "The lower officials are ashamed, they can't even find out that there are such murderers under their rule, and they still need Lord Yang to check by candlelight...... If it weren't for the wisdom of the adults, today would be a catastrophe. As he spoke, he wiped his forehead with his hand, and the cold sweat on it could be used to wash his face.

"Actually, not only did I find out what was wrong with this place before, but now I can guess the identity of these guys." Yang Zhen squinted his eyes again and said.

"Who is so bold?"

"Actually, these people have met with Master Qu a few times." Yang Zhen said meaningfully as he looked at the gunpowder that had been carefully taken out.

Zhu Kongyan quickly understood: "Is it the remnants of the White Lotus Sect?" ”

"Exactly. This gunpowder is not so easy to prepare, and I don't think there is any other force in Guangxi that can accumulate such a large amount of gunpowder to my detriment. As he spoke, Yang Zhen's eyes flashed with a chill: "So it can only be this trap laid by the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who are immortal and want to seek revenge on me." They saw that I had not been supplied, and they fled from this place at once. ”

Speaking of this, he was stunned, and glanced at Qu Feng thoughtfully: "But it hasn't been long, and it happened suddenly, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape from the city, and there will definitely be a hiding place in the city......"

No matter how sluggish Qu Feng was, he understood the meaning of Yang Zhen's words, so he immediately said to his subordinates and officers and soldiers: "Immediately block the four gates, even if you turn the whole city upside down, you must find out these bold guys!" ”

"Yes!" Those people quickly agreed, and quickly moved into action. They were also holding their breath, if Yang Zhen hadn't noticed the problem here in time, I was afraid that they would also have to be buried together, and this kind of anger that almost died under the enemy's calculations naturally needed to be vented.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction. He knew that as long as the people below had this attitude, they would definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. But he didn't plan to stay here, and now it was the wisest decision to take the second daughter away from such a dangerous place first, so after saying hello to Qu Feng, he led the people to leave.

Qu Feng didn't dare to keep Yang Zhen at this time, so he had to send him away apologetically.

"My lord, why don't we help them?" When he rushed to the city gate to meet the others, Zhukong Yan was a little surprised.

"Whether we can catch people or not, it doesn't have much impact on us. The White Lotus Sect can only make some moves in Guangxi, and after we get out of here, we will be safe, so why take the risk? Yang Zhen waved his hand and said.

It's just that Yang Zhen, who went out of the city later, didn't know that although his assertion was in line with the vein of the White Lotus Sect, it might not be completely accurate!
