(of.) (of.) Although Eunuch Li was reasonable, this matter could not be rushed, and it was necessary to wait for the opportunity, so Yang Yuanqing put this matter aside for the time being.

His focus is still on the assassination, an almost obsessive philosophy driven not by the orders of a prince, but by his concern for his loved ones.

He was almost eighty percent sure that Zhang Zhongjian was the assassin who assassinated King Jin that night, so he needed to know what Zhang Zhongjian's motive for assassination was? Why did he assassinate King Jin? If it is a directive from a person or an organization, then who is that person, or this organization?

More importantly, what role did Niu Niu play in this assassination case? How much of a harm this did to her.

Yang Yuanqing's eyes fell on the Wanchun Tea House in the Qi Wangfu and Dongshi, both places are related to Zhang Zhongjian, one is his place of service, the other is Niuniu's residence, and Zhang Zhongjian is Niuniu's senior brother, it seems that there is no direct connection, but an intuition tells Yang Yuanqing that Zhang Zhongjian has some kind of connection with this Wanchun Tea House.

After weighing it repeatedly, Yang Yuanqing's eyes finally fell on Wanchun Tea House, a place full of mystery and weirdness.

．．．．．．．．

In the afternoon, Yang Yuanqing came to Wanchun Tea House with a few colors of snacks, at this time Niuniu was not in the tea house, she accompanied her aunt and grandmother to Xingshan Temple to incense.

Yang Yuanqing walked into the tea house, and a guy stepped forward to greet him, "Guest, do you want to buy tea?" ”

"I'm looking for you Uncle Chen, is he there?"

He remembered very well that Niuniu asked Zhang Zhongjian why he wanted to go to King Qi to make offerings, and Zhang Zhongjian's answer was that Uncle Chen arranged it, and then Niuniu stopped asking, so this so-called 'Uncle Chen' should be a key person.

The guy hesitated. Immediately entered the inner hall. After a while, Yuan Sizu, the proprietor of the tea house, hurriedly walked out, with a smile on his face: "Yang Gong, are you looking for the dust girl?" She just wasn't there. ”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I know she's not here, she accompanied her aunt and grandmother to Xingshan Temple, I plan to let her move home, I heard her say that she is very cared for by Uncle Chen here." So I went to thank him for taking care of my sister these days. ”

As he spoke, Yang Yuanqing put a few colors of dim sum on the table, and Yuan Sizu quickly glanced at the dim sum. Still with a smile on his face: "It is estimated that Miss Chuchen said that it was Chen Da Steward, it is really unfortunate, he happened to go back to Jiangnan yesterday afternoon to buy goods, and when he comes back, I will convey my gratitude to him on behalf of my father." ”

Although he said it very tactfully and did not leak, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The chief steward of a tea house can actually arrange someone to enter the Qi Palace's mansion as the chief worshipper, what a big face.

"Since that's the case, then please ask Yuan Dongzhu to convey my thanks for me!"

Yang Yuanqing didn't say anything, this is like fishing, first of all, you have to come to the river to step on it, see if there are any fish, and then it's your turn to bait and throw the rod.

Yang Yuanqing turned to leave, Yuan Sizu looked at Yang Yuanqing's back and walked away, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The rules of the South China Association are extremely strict, and they are never allowed to mention Chen Huizhu to any outsiders, and he found that their secrecy measures were a little lax, and there was actually a hint of wind.

．．．．．．．

Yang Yuanqing didn't leave, he was waiting at the gate of the metropolis, and an intuition told him. This so-called Uncle Chen is hiding in the tea house, he is a big fish, Zhang Zhongjian and Niuniu are controlled by him, if the female assassin that night is really Niuniu, then there are two possibilities, either Niuniu lied to herself, she actually didn't come back that day.

Then Niuniu is just a killing tool for him, how can there be a reason to be sent to be an assassin when he enters Beijing that day, he is not familiar with the capital, and a mistake will lose his life, he didn't take Niuniu's life seriously at all.

No matter which possibility it is, he Yang Yuanqing will never tolerate it, he will never tolerate Niuniu being controlled by an organization, which is his sister who grew up with him since he was a child, and is one of his three relatives in this world.

After waiting for about half an hour, Niu Niu and Shen Wuhua's carriage slowly appeared at the gate of the metropolis, and Yang Yuanqing immediately stepped forward to stop the carriage.

"Brother Yuanqing!"

A smiling face appeared on the car window, "Are you here to find me?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "I have something important to look for you, you come with me!" ”

Niuniu saw that Yang Yuanqing was smiling a little reluctantly, so she smiled at Shen Wuhua and said, "Grandmother, I will go with Brother Yuanqing and come back in the evening." ”

Shen Wuhua nodded, "Come back early!" ”

She instructed Yang Yuanqing again: "Yuanqing, take good care of her." ”

"Auntie, don't worry! I'll send her back in the evening. ”

Shen Wuhua's carriage went back, Niuniu looked at Yuan Qing and asked with a smile, "Brother Yuanqing, do you want to take me to dinner?" ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, he led a horse from the side, this is the horse he just bought from a horse shop in Dongshi, although it is not a war horse, but it is also quite strong, saddle stirrups and so on.

"Get on your horse! Come with me. ”

Yang Yuanqing turned over and got on the horse, and when Niuniu got on the horse, he urged the horse and took Niuniu to Xuanrenfang not far away.

Xuanrenfang is close to Pingkangfang, and it is also a lively entertainment place, but Pingkangfang is different from many brothels, the biggest feature here is that there are many music squares and dance shops, and wine shops and inns are also lined up in the square, which has a little bit of cultural atmosphere than Pingkangfang.

Yang Yuanqing took Niuniu to a bright moon wine shop, the sound of silk and bamboo, the singing is melodious, it feels very good, under the courteous greeting of the store guys, they went up to the second floor, the second floor is full of people, almost full, the guy looked for a long time, and finally found two places in a corner, not bad, just two people sitting, Yang Yuanqing nodded and sat down with Niuniu, Yang Yuanqing saw that there were two scoundrel-looking stout men sitting behind Niuniu, he frowned, and wanted to change places with Niuniu, but there were also several men behind him, and they were closer, so they had to forget it.

"Niu Niu, do you want to have some wine?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a faint smile.

"Let's have a little bit of it!"

Niuniu smiled a little reluctantly, and along the way, Yang Yuanqing didn't say a word, which made her feel an invisible pressure, and she felt a little apprehensive in her heart.

"Let's have a pot of good peach wine, the same signature dish, that's all."

Soon, the wine was delivered first. Yang Yuanqing poured a glass of wine for Niuniu. Smiled: "Then have a drink, I remember that you never drank alcohol when you were a child, and you would faint when you took a sip." ”

Niuniu pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Yuanqing, I also drink a little occasionally, but not much, at most one glass, when I am in Hengshan, the senior brothers and sisters will take turns to entertain guests, and the things over there are very cheap." For only half a penny, more than a dozen people can eat very well, Brother Yuanqing, you seem to have a good amount of wine. ”

"It's also practiced. At first, it was one pound of mare's milk wine, then two pounds, three pounds, and finally twenty pounds. ”

"Twenty pounds!"

Niu Niu exclaimed, "Can you fit your belly?" ”

"Just fill it up and drink it slowly, alas! In that place, there was no five-pound amount of alcohol. It's not called a man, I have a fake boy who serves in the army for my father, and she can drink five catties of wine without getting drunk. ”

"Is it a female soldier?" Niu Niu asked with some curiosity.

"Nope! It's dressed as a male soldier, dressed up for five years, and now I'm going to be the guard of Princess Yicheng, and she won't tell me, I saw her a few days ago, and she left without saying hello to me. ”

"Brother Yuanqing, maybe she is afraid that she will not be able to explain when she sees you, I don't think she meant to slight you. She was also conflicted inside. ”

"Forget it, don't talk about her, talk about you, are you conflicted?" Yang Yuanqing asked as lightly as possible.

"What?" Niu Niu was stunned.

"I went to Wanchun Tea House today to thank Uncle Chen for taking care of you." Yang Yuanqing glanced at her and said.

Niuniu's face changed, and she asked nervously, "How do you know Uncle Chen?" ”

I saw Niu Niu's expression. Yang Yuanqing's heart was cold, Niuniu really had something to hide from him, he was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and he had a feeling of being deceived.

"Niuniu, you shouldn't hide me, and you shouldn't deceive me!"

Yang Yuanqing restrained the strong dissatisfaction in his heart and said slowly: "Can you understand my feelings?" ”

Niu Niu hurriedly waved her hand, "No! I've never deceived you about anything. ”

"Okay, let me ask you, when did you enter Beijing?"

"It's noon the day before I saw you that day, it's true, Brother Yuanqing, do you think I'm cheating on you?"

"What about concealment?" Yang Yuanqing stared at her fiercely.

Niuniu slowly lowered her head, she was also a little ashamed in her heart, and after a while, she sighed and said, "You ask!" I will try my best to answer, and if I can't answer, I ask for your understanding. ”

Yang Yuanqing looked at both sides, lowered his voice and said, "I want to know, on the night you entered Beijing, the female assassin who assassinated the King of Jin, is it you?" ”

Niuniu was shocked, and looked at Yang Yuanqing incredulously, "You.... How do you know? ”

"It's very simple, the person who cut the arrow you shot is me, I know that the other person is your senior brother Zhang Zhongjian, I am competing with him today, and it has been confirmed that it is him."

Niu Niu hadn't recovered from the shock yet, she muttered to herself, "How could it be you, no wonder I feel so familiar and make me restless all night....."

"So..... You admit it. Yang Yuanqing stared at her tightly, anger shooting out of his eyes.

Niu Niu nodded silently, and she bowed her head deeply.

"Bang!"

Yang Yuanqing smashed his fist on the table, and the table leg 'clicked!' It snapped, the wine pot and glass rolled to the ground, and Niuniu suddenly covered her face and cried, "Brother Yuanqing, I'm really... I don't know.... It's you! ”

The entire second floor was quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at them in surprise, at this time, the two angry men behind Niuniu exchanged a look, one turned around and stepped forward, patted Niuniu's shoulder, and coaxed her: "Don't cry, little girl, my brother is in charge of you!" ”

Niuniu shook off his hand in disgust, and the big man reached out to touch Niuniu's face again, and said with a smile: "This little lady is really good-looking, white and tender, if others don't like it, then give it to us." ”

Yang Yuanqing's eyes burst out with murderous intent, he shot extremely quickly, and grabbed the hairy hand stretched out to Niuniu's face, 'Click! The sound of broken bones sounded, Dahan's hand was twisted alive, Yang Yuanqing immediately kicked him away, and in the scream, Dahan was kicked out a few feet away, knocked over seven or eight tables in a row, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The other person was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run, but Yang Yuanqing pinched his neck and lifted him up in the air, Yang Yuanqing wanted to break his neck, but he finally restrained the killing intent in his heart and threw the big man out of the window on the second floor.

He glanced coldly at the lobby, where there was silence, and all the drinkers were like sculptures, not daring to move.

"Brother Yuanqing, I didn't..." Niuniu cried so much that her face was full of tears.

After cleaning up the two scoundrels, Yang Yuanqing's anger calmed down a little, and he saw Niuniu crying sadly, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he said to her: "Let's go!" Go to another place and say it. ”

He picked up his leather bag and turned to leave, Niuniu wiped away her tears, got up obediently and followed him downstairs, the man and the shopkeeper did not dare to stop them, and watched them leave the wine shop.
