Chapter Ninety-Six: The Hermit Is Killed
A few days later, in the princess's mansion, a scream was heard.
"Ahh
The guards and maids in the palace were alert when they heard the sound, and immediately ran in the direction where the screams came from.
"Princess! Princess, what's wrong with you? ”
The maid ran in a hurry, only to see Xue Yuexin sitting on the ground, and the blood stains on her clothes were faintly revealed.
Xue Yuexin slowly pulled up his trouser legs, his white legs were bloodstained, all abrasions, and the bruises had not yet appeared.
"Hurry up and ask the Imperial Doctor!"
The maid looked flustered and immediately shouted to the guards behind.
"Help me up first!"
Xue Yuexin was angry and vented to the maid.
"Check it out for me, and see if there are any suspicious people in this house!"
Xue Yuexin always felt that someone had pushed her, but when she turned around, she didn't see anyone, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but it was always right to be careful.
She turned to look at the dozens of steps behind her, there was no trace of the steps, and when she looked around, there was no one except the guards and maids in front of her.
After a long time, Xue Yuexin sat on the bed, the curtain covered in front of her, and only half of her legs were exposed to the imperial doctor.
"Tap, it hurts!"
The faint sweat on the Imperial Doctor's face slowly oozed out.
"Princess, please be patient, the minister will take care of the wound for you before you can apply medicine, otherwise, the scar on your leg will be difficult to heal!"
The imperial doctor trembled, wiping the sweat from his face from time to time, he was very timid in his heart, he couldn't serve this master well, and he was afraid that he wouldn't have a good time.
Under Xie Cheng's arrangement, Xue Yuexin was injured and could not pose a threat to Jiang Yin for the time being.
In the Jiujiang Restaurant, Hua Yan was hesitant and looked at Jiang Yin in front of him.
"Yin'er, you...... Be careful Xie Cheng. ”
He just remembered Jiang Guo's hermit's reaction to Xie Cheng, and he could roughly guess a little.
It must be that Xie Cheng had something to do with that matter, otherwise he had something to do with the hermit, otherwise the hermit would not be so afraid.
"Xie Cheng, what's wrong with him?" Jiang Yin's face was full of questions.
Xie Cheng has been very concerned about taking care of her since she was injured, and his concern does not seem to be fake.
"I'll tell you about this later, Yin'er, it's best to keep your distance from him now, and make a decision after I find out the truth of the matter."
Hua Yan's tone was full of uncertainty, Xie Cheng and him rescued Jiang Yin vividly in his mind, and now, Jiang Guo's hermit's reaction to him stirred up the previous clues.
"Then be careful yourself." Jiang Yin looked at Hua Yan's departing back and was a little worried.
In this strange Zhou country, only Hua Yan follows him closely and protects himself, and only he can treat himself like this, as if he were his own relatives.
If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't know......
In order to continue to find Jiang Qi's whereabouts, Jiang Yin can only continue to expand the restaurant, so that the restaurant's business will become bigger and bigger, and then get to know more contacts to find out the news about his brother and the clues to Jiang Guo's destruction.
A very ordinary-looking man sat at the wine table and talked to the person next to him, and he said intentionally or unintentionally with the appetizer.
"Have you heard? Recently, there have been rumors that Jiang Guo was destroyed and the remnants of evil flowed to our Zhou Kingdom. ”
Hearing the word Jiang Guo, Jiang Yin was like thunder, and his ears were very sensitive.
The man looked at him with a questioning tone, as if he still didn't believe it.
"Jiang Guo? Haven't we already been defeated? Is there still a remnant of sin? ”
"No, there are so many people in Jiang Kingdom, and there is a river of blood overnight, and it is inevitable that a few will escape."
"Then you have to be careful, maybe there are people from Jiang Guo around us!"
The drinker whispered a joke in the other's ear.
Jiang Yin walked over with the flask and slowly poured the wine into their empty glasses.
"Two guest officers, are you talking about Jiang Guo's affairs? The little girl is fortunate to see and wants to know a thing or two, can you tell me about it? ”
Jiang Yin asked tentatively, she hoped to hear a little news from this crowded restaurant, and it would not be in vain for her to expand her business.
"Jiang Guoshi?"
The two drinkers were a little puzzled, so they just talked about it themselves, but they didn't expect the proprietress of a restaurant to care about the death of the country.
"Yes."
"Girl, I advise you to inquire less! If you don't know something, don't ask around, otherwise you won't know the reason for something that happens one day. ”
The drinker looked reluctant and didn't want to continue the story.
"Guest officer, I just listen to the excitement, and I can make up a joke to perform in the restaurant in the future, and there is no malice. If the two of you are willing, then I will give you a cheaper table? ”
Jiang Yin didn't want to give up any clues at all, after all, it was still not easy to piece together.
Under the inducement of Jiang Yin, the two drinkers told Jiang Yin a lot of things about Jiang Guo, although they could not confirm the truth of the incident, but it was still useful to piece together the news they inquired about.
The business of the restaurant is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are many guests, not only the dignitaries of the Zhou Kingdom will come, but even people from other places will come to have a drink from time to time and taste the style of their own wine.
After more than half a month, Jiang Yin heard many rumors from the mouths of the guests about the destruction of Jiang Guo.
All the clues are woven into a big net, the fog slowly dissipates, and the origin of the matter gradually becomes clear.
And while revealing the truth, Jiang Yin's heart slowly cooled down.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove that this matter has anything to do with Xie Cheng, at least Jiang Guo's destruction must be inseparable from some officials of Zhou State.
Just as Jiang Yin was sorting out the clues he had collected in the room, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door, "Dongjia, someone is looking for you outside!" ”
"Who is it? Come to me at this time? ”
Jiang Yin's face was full of doubts, he muttered a sentence by himself, and quickly put all the clues in his hand into the box under the bed, for fear of being seen by others.
"Xie Cheng? Why are you here at this time? Jiang Yin's tone was slightly heavy, she didn't want to see him.
"Yin'er, I came to tell you about Xue Yuexin, she wants to ...... you"
Before Xie Cheng finished speaking, he heard the little guy behind the restaurant shouting.
"Come on! Someone's killed! ”
The little guy shouted loudly in the back, with a kind of fear in his voice.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yin didn't care about Xie Cheng, and ran straight to the back wing of the restaurant, his steps were very hurried.
As soon as he ran to the wing where the little guy was, he saw Jiang Guo's hermit lying motionless on the ground, and even the blood on his neck had not dried, leaving only a deep wound.
At first glance, the sharp blade cut through the blood vessels in her throat, and the bright red pool of blood on the ground stung her eyes.
Jiang Yin's hands trembled slightly, she turned to look at Xie Cheng behind her, her face gradually became iron-blue, and even full of hostility.
