Chapter 283: Assassin's Mansion

Under the shock of the Miaomu Guanyin statue, all the corpses, including Dai Zongren, avoided in a hurry, and did not dare to approach Duan Pingsheng's figure at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the bamboo dragon took this opportunity to silently slide at the bottom of the lake, sneak into the underground waterway, and escorted the ghost hand hiding in the waterway to Duan Pingsheng before the plague corpse returned to help.

With the red marks on his eyebrows, Duan Pingsheng vaguely saw the pale face of the ghost handless, and also saw the terrifying injury on his neck.

Obviously, the spies from Zhenlong Pavilion had an extremely serious impact on him, which allowed Zhulong to easily discover his aura and capture him in one fell swoop.

Duan Pingsheng noticed that the ghost hand had no intention of resisting, and as soon as his mind moved, he did not order Zhulong to strangle it here, but took him to the surface and handed him over to the palace shadow guard for strict care.

Of course, Duan Pingsheng did not forget that Zhuang Bancheng had his eyes on the cool silkworm clothes on this person, so he ordered the guards to turn around and take it off, while he dragged his slightly tired body and returned to his residence to start resting.

Early the next morning, when Duan Pingsheng was having breakfast, the chief housekeeper Shen Gong came to summon the news, saying that Zhenlong Pavilion Zhuang Bancheng was asking to see him outside the door, Duan Pingsheng knew that this guy must have heard something, so he waited in the lobby, and of course he didn't forget to bring the cool silkworm clothes that were taken off the ghost hand Wuxin.

"My good prince!"

As soon as Zhuang Bancheng walked to the door of the lobby, he shouted happily as if he saw a relative, but there was no trace of Duan Pingsheng in his field of vision, only the cool silkworm clothes placed on the side.

Duan Pingsheng didn't have much interest in this prestigious shirt, so he threw it on the table on the side very casually, but as soon as Zhuang Bancheng entered the door, he rushed to this broken shirt, looked at it again and again, and completely ignored Duan Pingsheng, the lord of the palace.

"Ahem!"

Duan Pingsheng deliberately cleared his throat, so that the slightly "carried away" Boss Zhuang came back to his senses, and asked knowingly with a smile: "I don't know why the Zhuang staff came so early?" ”

Zhuang Bancheng's eyes rolled, and he rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said: "Look at what you said, Zhuang came here, of course, the first thing is to visit you, the prince, this time, is to discuss the issue of this cool silkworm clothes." ”

Hearing this, Duan Pingsheng's smile disappeared instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, Boss Zhuang has already paid a visit, so please go back." ”

"Eh, eh! Don't mind! Zhuang Bancheng hurriedly said, "Isn't there still a cool silkworm coat?" At the beginning, we said that the prince can't rely on the debt! ”

Duan Pingsheng glanced at Zhuang Bancheng and said lightly: "Since Boss Zhuang has such a good memory, then I shouldn't forget it, how did we talk about it at the beginning, this king provided you with information about the ghost hand, you personally sent someone to catch him, and the cool silkworm clothes will naturally fall into your hands." But now, the situation is different, this cool silkworm robe was intercepted by the king himself, it seems that the boss of the village asked for it for no reason, something is wrong! ”

Zhuang Bancheng's expression changed slightly, knowing that Duan Pingsheng was going to put forward conditions, and he heard him say again: "This king has something to visit Lord Shi Nie today, and it just so happens that he has also served in Songzhou for a while, so he must be very interested in this cool silkworm robe from the Songyang Palace." ”

Hearing Duan Pingsheng's words, Zhuang Bancheng immediately realized Duan Pingsheng's true purpose, he was going to start formal negotiations with Nie Fengdi today, and personally protect Cao An, Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan, the three important people in Xicheng, as for whether to use the cool silkworm clothes as a bargaining chip in the end, it depends on whether Zhuang Bancheng can pay the price of making Duan Ping's heart lively.

Fortunately, Zhuang Bancheng didn't have much confidence in anything else, but he still had a lot of experience in how to convince the cold-faced judge Nie Fengdi, after all, he encountered a lot of resistance when he opened Zhenlong Pavilion in Songzhou, so he also specially intrigued with Nie Fengdi for a period of time, so he naturally knew where Nie Fengdi's real weakness was.

"Lord Wang!" Zhuang Bancheng stiffened his waist suddenly, and said confidently, "If the prince is trying to persuade Nie Fengdi, then there is no need to use the cool silkworm clothes, Zhuang has a note, keep him obediently!" ”

Duan Pingsheng glanced at him and pretended to be surprised: "Oh! Come on, this king listens! ”

"Presumably, the prince should know that on the night of the Khitan alien uprising, Lord Nie did not hesitate to destroy his guard weapon judge pen in order to resist the source of the plague." Zhuang Bancheng smiled slightly, "When the prince talks to Lord Nie, if he encounters a predicament, he can reveal to him the way to restore the judge's pen. ”

Duan Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, feeling that Zhuang Bancheng had something to say, but suddenly looked at him as if he was doing a trick, with more paper and pen in his hand, and wrote the method of restoring the judge's pen on the paper, Duan Pingsheng took a look and found that there were many precious heavenly and earthly treasures used in it, so he was slightly aware of Zhuang Bancheng's intentions.

"Since the Zhuang Yuan is so hearted, then the king is disrespectful."

Duan Pingsheng didn't open his mouth, and directly handed over the cool silkworm clothes to Zhuang Bancheng, the satisfied Zhuang boss, did not stay, and immediately retreated, Duan Pingsheng also rested for a while, and set off to the Biyi Qifei Building in Xicheng, and saw Cao An and others waiting here.

"I've seen the prince in my humble position!"

Seeing Duan Pingsheng walking into the box, Cao An, Ma Tianyuan and Dou Pingnan bowed to him with a brush, Duan Pingsheng smiled slightly, and took a burden from Dou Pingnan's hand, without thinking about it, he knew that there were sacrifices screened out by them.

Looking at the slightly uneasy faces of the three people in front of him, Duan Pingsheng smiled and said with relief: "The three adults can rest assured, since you have been in the same boat, then this storm will definitely not affect the future of the three, this king will set off to the mansion of Lord Nie, if the three of you are not at ease, go to the king's palace and wait for good news!" ”

Although they were very moved by Duan Pingsheng's proposal, Cao An and the others still waved their hands again and again very rationally, so that Duan Pingsheng didn't have to do anything else.

Cao An, the guard of Xicheng, said in a timely manner: "With the prince out of the horse, we will naturally put ten thousand hearts, and it is not necessary to wait for the palace. ”

Duan Pingsheng nodded lightly: "Since this is the case, then the king will not bother the three adults, please!" ”

"Congratulations to the prince!"

Cao An and the others sent Duan Pingsheng to the door of the box, and stopped in front of the door due to identity problems, and when the door was closed, they glanced at each other with a heavy heart, and they all saw the anxiety in their eyes.

This matter, after all, is about the future of the three people and the lives of the family, and it is naturally false to say that you are not worried!

Cao An looked at Dou Pingnan and Ma Tianyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, two adults, the chips thrown by you and me are already the limit, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to impress the cold-faced judge!" ”

"It's just ......" Ma Tianyuan frowned and shook his head, "I'm afraid that Nie Fengdi is insatiable and wants the lion to open his mouth!" ”

Dou Pingnan's complexion was the calmest among the three, but he was also worried: "Besides, the position of the three of us is too sensitive, I'm afraid that someone will inform the cold-faced judge in advance before the prince!" ”

When the words fell, Cao An and Ma Tianyuan couldn't help but glance at each other, sighed, and then left the restaurant with gloomy faces, no matter what, their fate was in the hands of Duan Pingsheng, no matter how worried they were, it was useless.

And Duan Pingsheng, who left the palace, rushed to the door of the Thorn History Mansion, which had been renamed, non-stop, but suddenly encountered a closed door.

As soon as Duan Pingsheng stepped out of the carriage, the doorman in charge of guarding the door informed him that Lord Assassin Shi had to deal with important business today and closed the door.

However, Duan Pingsheng's eyes turned to the carriage that stopped next to the gate one step ahead of him, looking at its style, it was clearly the car of the Wuyou Palace, and it was obvious that Li Changlin, the general of Youzhou, was negotiating with Nie Fengdi in the mansion at this time.

Duan Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was a bad sign, all along, Cao An, who occupied the guard of Xicheng, was a thorn in Li Changlin's side, but because of the existence of Lu Sansi, he was not replaced by Li Changlin.

And this is obviously a result that Duan Pingsheng does not want to see.

Glancing at the arrogant guards, Duan Ping expected that today it was probably not Nie Fengdi who was going to close the door to thank guests, but someone who didn't want him to enter the Assassin's Mansion!

And just when Duan Pingsheng was thinking about what kind of movement to make and forcibly break into the mansion, the door of the Assassin's Mansion suddenly opened, and an acquaintance's face stepped out.

"Lord Wang, don't come unharmed!"

The man said to Duan Pingsheng with an expressionless face, a flash of light flashed in Duan Pingsheng's eyes, and he smiled faintly: "It's really okay, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Brother Tai would already be high and assassinate Shifu!" ”

"This is still due to the prince!"

There was not a hint of a smile on that person's face, but he still took the initiative to beckon and invite Duan Pingsheng and the others to enter.

The guard who had stopped Duan Pingsheng earlier changed his expression and said to the man: "Your Excellency has an order, close the door today!" ”

The man's eyes swept away, and the guard who intended to stop flew out upside down as if he had suffered an invisible heavy blow, which silenced the rest of the guards who saw this situation, and the man retracted his gaze and snorted coldly: "There is only Lord Nie in the Assassin's Mansion, there is no Lord Li, remember it for me!" ”

The guards responded again and again, not daring to have the slightest intention of disobedience, but they all knew that if they accepted the benefits without permission, they would inevitably be purged in the future, so they began to think about the way out in the future.

"Lord Wang, let you see the joke, please!"

Duan Pingsheng heard this, nodded slightly, and then under the leadership of that person, he stepped into the Assassin's Mansion, and saw the people in the mansion on the way, and he respected that person quite much, and couldn't help but sigh: "This king loves talent, and the same is true for Lord Nie, if it weren't for this king's matter to ask Lord Nie, I'm afraid that Brother Qianli would have to work with Jia Longyang and others under this king." ”

The former dragon hunter, and now the judge Zhong Qianli, responded quietly and indifferently: "Thanks to the prince's attention, Qianli still feels more comfortable under Lord Nie." ”

Duan Pingsheng smiled slightly and stopped talking, he estimated that this Qianli who was armed with a strange technique of pupils and eyes must be worried about the fact that he almost died in the Martial Palace. At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Nie Fengdi's methods are really clever, it has only been a few days of hard work, and he has successfully subdued the unruly dragon hunter, it seems that this cold-faced judge will inevitably have a head-to-head confrontation with the dragon hunter in the future!

Under the leadership of Qianli, Duan Pingsheng came to the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, at this time, Nie Fengdi was having a discussion with Li Changlin, and the two did not shy away from Duan Pingsheng's arrival, and they repeatedly mentioned Xicheng-related matters in their words, and Li Changlin's attitude was also very clear, Xicheng guard Cao An was extremely evil, and he should have taken it as soon as possible, without further ado.

And Nie Fengdi never revealed his true attitude, until Duan Pingsheng finished drinking a cup of tea, and then took the initiative to say to him: "I don't know why the prince came here today?" ”

Seeing that Nie Fengdi deliberately pulled Duan Pingsheng in, Li Changlin's expression was slightly displeased, and he cast his eyes on Duan Pingsheng, who was sitting opposite.

"Hehe, the purpose of this king is the same as that of General Youzhou, it is to discuss with Lord Nie about Cao An, the guard of Xicheng!"

Facing Li Changlin's gaze, Duan Pingsheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, Nie Fengdi nodded lightly, his cold face did not show the slightest inclination, and said in a deep voice: "I see, General Li insisted on removing Cao An from his post and investigating it, I don't know what the prince's opinion is?" ”

"Hehe, this king heard General Youzhou say that Cao An was extremely evil, I'm afraid it's an exaggeration!"

Duan Pingsheng had already talked to Nie Fengdi about Cao An, so he did not hesitate to refute Li Changlin's remarks: "According to this king's understanding, General Cao has been conscientiously guarding the gate of Xicheng since he took office, and he has never made a mistake for many years. ”

"Humph!"

Li Changlin snorted coldly: "That's because you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart, Cao An has used his position over the years, and there is not a small amount of silver he has made!" ”

"If the general refers to the underground interests of the Guangjin gambling house, then the king can only say that the one who really doesn't know the real situation should be you, the general!" Duan Pingsheng smiled slightly, "This king has sufficient evidence to show that General Cao is just forced to do so because he is in his position. ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Changlin frowned: "I have no choice? It's clearly fun! ”

Duan Pingsheng had long known from Cao An that because Lu Sansi had a very tight control over the position of the Xicheng guard, he was very careful with every transfer of interests, and basically Cao An never officially appeared, so Li Changlin never had the ability to catch Cao An's handle, of course, everyone knew that the money that fell into Cao An's pocket was indispensable, but the practice of raiding the house was not something that could be used casually.

Therefore, Duan Pingsheng said bluntly: "If the general thinks that Cao An is really guilty, then he can put out the human and physical evidence, let's talk about it in front of Lord Nie!" If the general can't produce evidence, you want to take down the Xicheng defenders wholeheartedly, it will be too ugly! ”

As soon as Duan Pingsheng's words fell, Li Changlin snorted angrily: "Evidence? ”

"Since you want to see it, then I will fulfill you!"
