Leng Yi was dumbfounded: "It's like this outside?" I don't even know! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang said: "Yes, we are worried about you, Sister Ying (Xiao Zhou Houzi Nuying) said, this matter is so big, and you are the official who found out this case, I am afraid that you will also be involved." ”

Leng Yi spread his hands and said, "I'm talking about things, and the case I found out is like this, and I report it according to the truth." I don't care about anything else. ”

Xiao Zhouhou said worriedly: "No matter what! They don't know you're back yet, and once they do, they'll definitely come to you in droves. ”

Leng Yi said: "Does the Zheng family have such a wide popularity? ”

"Of course, I heard Princess Li say that Zheng En is the sworn brother of the first emperor and the official king of Beiping. But he was mistakenly killed by the official family who listened to slander. Jeong-eun was very bold when he was alive, no matter what kind of person he saw, he was always a brother and a brother, and he treated each other with all sincerity. He is a respected prince, and he does not hesitate to make friends, so he naturally has a lot of friends. It is said that he is approachable, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are good friends with him. Many of them are friends of life and death who fought together on the battlefield. The most intimate is his life and death brother Shi Shouxin, who was a friend of eight worships. I heard that this time, Shi Shouxin swore in public that if he didn't make this matter clear and give Zheng En's spirit in the sky an explanation, he would die in front of Zheng En's tombstone! ”

Leng Yi stomped his feet and said, "The second prince is pure nonsense! He's in a big mess! Alas! ”

Xiao Zhou said: "The only way to go down first is to invite the second prince to explain it to them!" ”

"However, last night, the second prince was already dead!"

Xiao Zhouhou was almost defiled by these two princes, hated and feared him, and when he heard Leng Yi's words, he was really surprised and delighted: "Really? ”

"Hmm!"

"How did you die?"

"It was also an accident. His servant poured him tea and burned his face, and he fell in pain, and his head hit the coffee table, and he died, and his servant eunuch was so frightened that he hanged himself. ”

"It's so good...... it's too unexpected!" Xiao Zhouhou said excitedly.

Zhuo Qiaoniang looked at her in amazement, she naturally didn't know why she was so happy.

After Xiao Zhouhou was happy, he immediately frowned, and said: "The death of the second prince, will it also be the ...... of the official family" Xiao Zhouhou made a cutting action.

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the second prince died in the house, the door was closed, and there was no trace of outsiders sneaking in." I checked it carefully, and it was indeed an accident. ”

"Oh, I believe you, it's just ......" Xiao Zhouhou smiled reluctantly, "others may not believe your words." ”

While he was talking, the porter came in in a panic with a stack of worship posts in his hand and reported: "Master, Zhongshu ordered eight officials, including Shi Shouxin, Prime Minister Xue Juzheng, Vice Minister Shen Lun, and Privy Envoy Chu Zhaofu, to visit!" ”

Although Leng Yi has the royal gift of the official Zhao Guangyi's golden belt and the imperial mansion, his official quality is only from the sixth grade. The dignified prime minister, the privy envoy, and the Zhongshu order came to visit, and there were eight of them, which was never the case, and it was no wonder that his concierge was so panicked that his face changed color.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yi said to the porter: "You went out and said that I had something urgent, and I went out through the back door to go back to the palace as soon as I came back." ”

Xiao Zhou said: "The people who came are all important ministers of the court, why can't my brother excuse me?" ”

"If it's an ordinary visit, then naturally I don't dare to slack off, but they are obviously here to ask the master to ask for guilt, the second prince has already said nonsense, how can I talk nonsense again? This kind of thing must be decided only after the will of the official family has been obtained. ”

Xiao Zhouhou nodded and said: "That's what you said, then my brother should hurry back to the inner court of the palace, and after the official family has an attitude towards this matter, my brother will decide what to say according to the situation." ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said: "Now when the official family is in a hurry, I can only make trouble when I go, I will stay at home, and the official family will naturally call me to go if there is something." You will tell the public that I have entered the palace. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang and Xiao Zhouhou both nodded, and the porter also agreed, went out to reply, came over for a while, and came back again, and reported: "Master, they are gone." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the porter continued: "The little one listened to their discussion just now and went to the palace immediately, and asked the master to come out and meet you." ”

Leng Yi frowned: "I really can't stop for a moment." When they found out that I was not at the palace, they would definitely come back and inquire again, so I went out to hide. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang asked nervously, "Where are the officials going?" ”

"Don't worry, I have a place to go, it's safe, if the official family announces that I will enter the palace, you will fly a kite in the courtyard, and I will know."

Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded: "That official must be careful!" ”

"Don't worry! You go and let the people go back to the house, and they don't have to follow me. Do not follow me, lest you expose your target. ”

"Good!" Zhuo Qiaoniang agreed, walked out quickly to make arrangements, and after a while, she came back and said that it had been arranged. Leng Yi changed into a robe, came to the back door, looked left and right to see no one, took out the human skin mask and put it on. Quietly out the back door.

There was no one in the backyard, and it seemed that Shi Shouxin had just known that they were back, so they hadn't had time to arrange people to keep an eye on them. Leng Yi beckoned to a rental carriage, went around a few laps first, and after making sure that no one was following, he got out of the car, walked for a while, changed to another car, and went straight to Baihong's apricot yellow restaurant.

The mask Leng Yi wore was the one he wore last time he came, so the guy at the door already recognized him, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Leng Yi asked in a low voice, "Is Bai Hong here?" ”

"In! In the backyard, Bai Ye advised, saying that you will definitely come to her in the next two days, let us pay attention, don't just say it, you are here! Hei Ye, please upstairs! ”

Leng Yi was a little surprised, she didn't expect Bai Hong to estimate that she would come to her, and made arrangements in advance.

Leng Yi followed Xiao Er upstairs, came to the innermost private room, served Leng Yi tea, and then withdrew.

Leng Yi walked to the back window, opened a small gap in the window, and went out to investigate. Jumping into a secluded alley behind, there was no one. Far and near are rooftops, tall and low. Who would have thought that in such a place, there would actually be a peerless master living there!

Leng Yizheng could see it, Leng Buding felt the coldness on his neck, he didn't need to look at it, he knew that his neck was clinging to a sharp short blade!

Behind him, a woman's cold voice came: "You know I'm going to kill you, do you dare to come?" ”

Leng Yi smiled: "I knew you were going to kill me, so I sent it to the door." ”

"You think I'm not going to kill you?"

"What do you think?"

"Don't forget, I'm a killer!"

"If you want to kill me, you will have at least a hundred more chances, and you don't have to wait until now!"

The woman behind her burst out laughing: "Nonsense! With you, it's not that much! ”

Leng Yi slowly turned around and looked at the woman, dressed in white, charming and beautiful, and swallowed his saliva very exaggeratedly: "I always feel that we have known each other at least a hundred years ago, but your beauty makes me feel like I only met yesterday and amazed me." ”

The woman's delicate face like a spring flower flashed with two red glows, and she chirped softly: "Phew! I didn't learn anything in the palace, but I learned so flamboyantly! ”

This woman with the beauty of the country and the city is, of course, Bai Hong, the number one killer in the world.

Leng Yi said: "What I can say is all the truth, if this is also a flamboyant tongue, then I don't have a word that is not a flim flamboyance!" ”

Bai Hongqiao's face turned even redder, turned over the short blade in his hand, and pressed the plane against his neck: "Still poor!" If you really think I'm not going to kill you, you're wrong! ”

"Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic!"

"Phew! The more you talk, the more you can't speak! Bai Hong swooped and took the short blade, and she didn't know where she hid the short blade. With a flick of the sleeves of his snow-white robe, he walked to the table and sat down, saying, "Sit down!" What are you doing standing! ”

Leng Yi said: "Wait to be a ghost!" ”

Bai Hong said angrily: "There is a day when you are a ghost!" As soon as he said this, his heart tightened, if the day of separation of life and death came, what kind of pain would it be. She regretted that she had said such a thing, and looked at him sadly and complainingly: "It's all your fault! As soon as they come, they will say that they are dead and alive! ”

Leng Yi smiled and sat down beside her.

At this time, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside, and it was the shopkeeper who brought food and wine. Then he stepped back and closed the door.

Bai Hong poured two glasses of wine, handed Leng Yi a glass, served a glass to herself, didn't speak, covered it with a sleeve robe, and drank it all. Look at him.

Leng Yi didn't say much, just smiled slightly, and drank it all.

Leng Yi picked up the wine cup and poured the wine, and said in a low voice: "The second prince asked you to kill me?" ”

"Hmm!"

"In Bazhou before, he hired you to kill me?"

"Yes!"

"I remember, at that time, you once said that the person who hired you to kill me is the person you hired me to help you kill, and this person is the second prince Zhao Yuanxi?"

"That's right."

"Who's going to kill him?"

"I can't say yet."

"Okay then," Leng Yi shook his head helplessly, "Let me kill him, why don't you keep saying it?" Now that he's dead, he doesn't say it? ”

"Because," Bai Hong looked at him, "After you entered Beijing, the official family didn't let you check the Jinkui Covenant again." The second prince also stopped killing people because there was no one who could have the clues of the Jinkui Covenant. At the same time, he is also looking for the Golden Covenant, and the person who hired me to kill him also hopes that the person who is watching him will have clues, so I don't have to do it for the time being. Wait for his orders. ”

Leng Yi was very surprised: "Do you know about the Jinkui Covenant? ”

Bai Hong smiled: "I know that there are many things that surprise you!" ”

"Really? Let's say Fang Chang, I will slowly pull it out of your mouth one by one! ”

Bai Hong blushed again and said, "The second prince is dead, you can breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Leng Yixi said: "So, my task is completed?" ”

"Yes. - You killed him, right? ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "If not, then I have to return the money?" ”

"No, as long as he dies, no matter how he dies, your mission is done."

"Hehe, this is cheaper for me."

"Is it cheaper for you?" Bai Hong looked at Leng Yi with a smile.

Leng Yi said: "He hired you to kill me, why don't you do it, isn't this against the principles of your organization?" ”

"I have been carrying out his commission last time, but your martial arts are higher than I imagined, and I can't kill you. Later, he knew that what he was looking for was not with you, so he canceled the commission. And this time, he sent someone to entrust him again, and I only said that I would consider it, but I did not agree to him. ”

"Why?" Leng Yi said: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to do it?" ”

Bai Hongqiao's face was blank and said: "Killers are all cold-blooded, and there is no one who can't do it!" ”

"Oh? Then why don't you take this business? ”

"Because you're still useful to me, you can make more money for me!" Bai Hong winked mischievously, "If I kill you, who will help me make so much money?" ”

"Hehe, so you have a new mission for me?"

"Yes!"

"What task?"

"I can't say it now."

"Why can't you say that?"

Bai Hong said: "Because I don't know if this task needs to be completed." If needed, you are the best person. ”

"Well, I don't ask. Actually, my main purpose in coming to you was to escape, hoping to take refuge in you. ”

"What's the matter?" Bai Hong asked.

"You are well-informed, you should already know that the sister of Zheng En, the king of Pingbei, and the beauty of the first emperor, Da Ji, died unexpectedly the night before yesterday. The official asked me to take charge of the investigation, and after I checked, I found that she had died in an accident. However, when the second prince went to visit the Zheng family on behalf of the official family, he said that Daji Beauty was given death by the official family. And also said the witnesses. I had just returned home when the Prime Minister, the Privy Councillor, and so on, came to visit. I've been in the capital for so long, and they've never been here, but now they're suddenly visiting, naturally for the sake of Daji's beauty. So, I lied and slipped out. ”

Bai Hong said: "I also heard about this matter, they are looking for you, they should want to find evidence that Da Ji Mei was given death." ”

"What evidence!" Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "I have personally examined the corpse, and the corpse does not have any external injuries or traces of victimization except for the subcutaneous hematoma in the back of the brain caused by an accidental fall." ”

Bai Hong said: "It's hard to say, if you are an expert, it is not difficult to set the murder as an accident." ”

"That's true, but the meditation room was indeed tied from the inside, and the windows were all tied from the inside, and there was no trace of outsiders sneaking in. If it was really the official family's death, how could the murderer sneak in and tie the doors and windows inside and escape after the killing? This is clearly not logical! What's more, they said that it was the official family who let the personal royal belt Long Zhen give the death of Daji Beauty, which is even more ridiculous, Long Zhen is the personal guard of the official family, and he has always been by the side of the official family, so he has never left where he has time to kill? ”

Bai Hong smiled: "Look at you are in a hurry!" There must be something wrong here, but the second prince is also dead, and this matter is troublesome! ”

Leng Yi was very surprised: "The death of the second prince was last night, and the Ministry of Rites only went to handle the funeral this morning." How do you know? ”

"In our kind of business, the news is not good, not only is it difficult to do business, but it also dies quickly."

"That's right."
