Chapter 45: A Peaceful Night, Something Ominous

Back when everyone returned to the post house, there were three more drums on the street.

Then came the voice of the watchman: "Don't dry the weather, be careful of the fire and candle ......."

Everyone was also busy all day, and they were already a little tired, so they went back to their rooms to wash up and prepare for bed.

"Girl, this Jiangnan looks warmer than Luoyang, but in fact, it is cold and unbearable!" Zhou Rong said while holding the quilt with a soup woman.

Fortunately, there was a post in the house who ordered someone to send a charcoal basin that had been burned a long time ago, and Yi Xue was stirring the fire in the charcoal basin and adding two more pieces of charcoal.

Hearing Zhou Rong talk about the cold weather, she looked out the window, the lantern under the porch was swaying from side to side by the wind, and the dim light from the cage cloth was also swaying, and the flute shadow through the window looked at the snowflakes.

"yes, it looks like it's snowing outside." Yi Xue said, then opened a crack in the window and looked out.

I was watching the snowflakes flying all over the sky, but I saw a person dressed as an officer, hurrying towards the post house.

Yi Xue saw that the people were abnormal, so she looked at them.

"Girl, it's cold....." Zhou Rong wanted to say that it was cold, so she still didn't open the window, but was stopped by Yi Xue.

Zhou Rong saw that Yi Xue's expression was a little wrong, so she also came to the window.

I saw that the officer found the post man, who did not go home for the festival because of King Langya.

The officer whispered to Yicheng, and Yicheng's expression immediately changed.

Looking at it from a distance, Yi Cheng seemed to be quite nervous when he got the news, as if something big had happened, and immediately hurriedly walked towards King Langya's room with the people who came.

Yi Xue couldn't see the situation clearly, so she closed the window.

"Girl, it looks like something big is happening, isn't it ........."

Yi Xue motioned to Zhou Rong not to continue.

"Girl, I'll take a look!"

Yi Xue said lightly: "Don't worry, I'll know soon!" ”

Here, Sima Jingwen was about to turn off the lights and rest, when he heard Yicheng knock lightly on the door and asked carefully: "King Langya, the villain has something important to see!" ”

"What?" Sima Jingwen's voice came from the room.

"Lord Thorn Shishi, by someone.... Assassinated! ”

"What did you say?" The door next to it opened, and out of it was Xiu Wuji.

"Lord Shi was assassinated, and he was on the way back from Xie's house." The officer who came to report the news said.

At this time, Sima Jingwen's door also opened, and I saw him come out of the room wearing a big coat.

"See King Langya, Xia Guan is the long history of the Assassin's Mansion, Lord Shi was assassinated on the way back to the mansion!"

"What, how can this be, hurry up and inform Lord Fujie Yushi and Lord Gu, the military secretary!"

"Yes!" Repair is endless!

Alas, this is really a wave of unsettled waves, I thought that I could return to Beijing smoothly to restore my life, even if I was not rewarded, at least I had fulfilled the emperor's order. I originally listened to Director Wang's words, but I didn't delve into Shi Li's responsibility, and the recital for returning to Beijing had already been prepared, but now that this happened, I am afraid that Shi Chong and Jia Mi, and even Empress Jia are afraid that they are suspicious of themselves.

Thinking of this, Sima Jingwen couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and sighed heavily.

At this time, Murong Jia and Qinghu heard the sound and heard that Shi Li was dead, and knew that the great thing had been accomplished, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts.

But the play still has to be done, Murong Jia looked incredulous: "It was fine at the night banquet, why did this happen as soon as you separated, what you said is true?" ”

"It's true!" Changshi saw two people who looked like Hu people, although he didn't know it, he didn't dare to slack off, and he definitely replied.

"Have you been to the site?" Sima Jingwen asked.

"Not yet, the scene is not far from the official residence of the Assassin's Mansion, and the captain General Li has been notified to go over, as soon as he gets the report, the lower official will come to inform King Langya!" Changshi replied respectfully.

"When we came back, we also deliberately let Shi Li take the lightboat with us, but he said that the mansion was not far from Xie's house, and the driver of the mansion had already come to pick it up...... Alas! ”

Murong Jia chattered again.

"yes, how could this happen!"

Director Wang and Gu Rong also arrived, and they were also surprised that such a thing happened less than an hour after separation!

"Let's go, let's go and see the scene, have you notified the staff?" Sima Jingwen asked.

"Back to King Langya, I will be notified as soon as I receive the news."

"Well, lead the way!"

Seeing that Murong Jia wanted to follow, Sima Jingwen frowned: "Prince Murong is tired for a day, so let's rest." ”

When Murong Jia saw Sima Jingwen say this, he thought in his heart: Yes, after all, it was the feudal official of the Jin Kingdom who had the accident, and his identity was really inappropriate!

So he yawned and pretended to be tired: "Alas, I'm tired after a day of playing, let's go, Qinghu, go to sleep, we won't disturb King Langya!" ”

After Sima Jingwen left, Murong Jia and Qinghu came to Mu Yixue's room in a hurry.

"Senior sister, Pang Qing has made a move, Shi Li is dead, and the people from the Assassin Mansion have just come to report."

"Master Pang Zhuang's movements are really fast, such a year-old gift to Shi Chong and Jia Mi, I don't know how they will react." Hearing that Pang Qing had succeeded, Yi Xue looked happy.

"Well, I really want to see with my own eyes how ugly Shi Li's death is." Zhou Rong's excitement was tinged with regret, as if she could only resolve her hatred if she saw it with her own eyes.

"Now that King Langya and they have gone to the scene, they won't know tomorrow." Seeing Zhou Rong's appearance, Qinghu felt a little funny.

"Hearing people say that it is the same as seeing it with your own eyes, if it weren't for the foolproof, the girl and I really want to do it ourselves."

"You, you've been with the girl for so many years, and you haven't learned half of the girl's calmness."

Seeing Qinghu snatching himself, Zhou Rong glared at him fiercely.

"Okay, okay, anyway, it's another thing." Yi Xue looked at the happy couple and smiled.

"But this matter must not be known to Jingwen and Wang Dao!" Murong Jia spoke his mind.

"Why?" Zhou Rong glared and asked, "If King Langya doesn't know about this matter, won't he have to investigate it again?" ”

"Whether he investigates it or not, how he investigates, he can't let them know about it, this is foolproof."

"How?" When Yi Xue heard Murong Jia say this, she was also curious.

"Yangzhou assassination was killed, this matter is not trivial, Jingwen and Wang Dao have to give the court a fold, they don't know about it, the twist will be more real, if they know, it is inevitable to avoid the important and light, but make Jia Mi and Shi Chong suspicious."

"Then what if the court orders to investigate?" Yi Xue asked.

"The position of Yangzhou assassin cannot be vacant, it is about to be Yuanchen, it depends on the imperial court to let Jingwen continue to stay in Jiangnan to supervise, or let him return to Beijing to resume his life, with the mentality of this Jia Niangniang, I am afraid that Jingwen will not be worried about staying in Jiangnan at all."

"Well, what Senior Brother said makes sense, and it depends on how the imperial court handles this matter."

For Yi Xue, her goal has been achieved, if Sima Jingwen comes to investigate this matter and knows the hidden story behind it, I am afraid she will also help cover it up. If the imperial court sends another imperial Shi Qincha, and it is not her hand, I am afraid that she will not be able to find her head, and Pang Qing naturally has a way to get out.

As for whether this Jiangnan will continue to be supervised by Sima Jingwen in the future, and who will be in charge, it is not something she can worry about.
