Chapter 271: The Second Prince is assassinated

At this time, Qi Yan was about to deal with these "monkeys", she walked into Xie's house from the backyard, and first came to Old Lady Xie's residence to say hello. Before he walked in, he saw that Steward Zhang also came to Mrs. Xie's residence.

"Young lady?" Steward Zhang saw Qi Yan, and as before, he saluted respectfully, "You are here." ”

Qi Yan said, "Come and see the old lady." As he spoke, he looked at Steward Zhang, "You're also here to see the old man, right?" ”

"There's a guest in the front yard." Steward Zhang said, "I'll talk to the old lady." ”

"Guest?" Qi Yan said in his heart, "Strange! ”

At this time, the Xie family even had guests coming to the door.

"Who is it?" Qi Yan couldn't help asking.

Steward Zhang shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it, it's an old man in his sixties, his face is white and beardless, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person......"

Qi Yan bowed his head lightly and said, "When you come to Xie Mansion at this time, you are naturally not an ordinary person......".

"Young lady, then I'll go in first." Steward Zhang pointed to the courtyard door.

"Go ahead."

Qi Yan stood at the door, and waited until Steward Zhang went in to greet the old man before he went in to say hello.

Old lady Xie saw her and smiled: "I'm going to have a guest here, so I won't keep you." ”

Qi Yan said: "I also happened to deal with things." ”

After speaking, Qi Yan left Old Lady Xie's residence.

As soon as he walked to the corner, Qi Yan was stopped by a person, who was the head of the "Monkey" - Xie Li.

"Hello, young lady." Xie Li walked up to Qi Yan, rubbed his hands, nodded and bowed, looking more servile than before.

Qi Yan looked at him, but he was not surprised, and said, "You are here to sell the deed, right?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of paper from his cuffs, and each of them was a deed of sale from the maids in the house.

Xie Li didn't look very excited when he saw the deed of sale, but looked at Qi Yan and said, "Young lady, are you going to give them the deed of sale now?" ”

"Of course, didn't I say it before, I want to ......" Qi Yan said and paused slightly, only to see that Xie Li's expression was a little unspeakably strange.

"Young lady, now give them the deed of sale...... Isn't it early? Xie Li asked, rubbing his hands.

Qi Yan remained silent and said, "I can't bear your five hundred taels a day's errand?" ”

Xie Li swallowed lightly and said, "It's not ......."

When he said this, he was not pretentious or pretentious, but seemed to be telling the truth from the bottom of his heart......

Qi Yan was a little puzzled, not only looking at the person in front of him more carefully.

"Young lady, can my deed of sale be given to me later? I'm not in a hurry! Xie Li said.

"Oh?" Qi Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since you're not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry here." But your errand of five hundred taels a day ......"

Xie Li hurriedly said: "I know! I understand! In the future, I won't help the young lady, and the young lady won't have to give me money. ”

Qi Yan nodded: "It's good that you know." ”

"Young lady...... Then I'm gone. ”

"Let's go."

Qi Yan looked at Xie Li's back as he left, squinting slightly, "Something is wrong......

Luo Twelve asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Yan said: "This Xie Li, something is wrong. ”

Luo Twelve also looked in the direction Xie Li left, he walked in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to do something, or see someone, turned and left.

"So...... There are indeed some. Luo Twelve clasped his hands around his chest, nodded, and said, "He is not in a hurry to leave the Xie Mansion, but will stay until the end...... No matter how you look at it, this Xie Li doesn't look like a loyal servant. ”

"If it were a loyal servant, some time ago, he would not have taken the lead in making trouble." Qi Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "You also heard it just now, and he also knows that after he stays, he will have no money to take, no money, why should Xie Li stay in Xie Mansion?" ”

Qi Yan said, looking at Luo Twelve.

Luo Twelve said: "It's really a little puzzling. ”

Qi Yan said, "Then why don't you ...... Do you follow him? ”

"That's not going to work." Luo XII said, "I will protect you every step of the way." ”

Qi Yan sighed softly: "However, I still care about Xie Li's affairs......"

"A little servant, who knows what he wants to do?" Luo Twelve didn't pay much attention to it.

Qi Yan said: "Now the Xie family is not as good as before, and everything has to be careful everywhere. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Luo Twelve again, what does that mean, or ...... Why don't you just go over and have a look?

Luo Twelve coughed dryly and ignored it......

Just when the two made eye contact, two people came not far away, one was Steward Zhang, and the other was the guest he was talking about.

Qi Yan and Luo Twelve collected their thoughts and secretly looked at the guest.

When Gonggong Liu saw Qi Yan here, he also stopped slightly.

The two of them didn't know each other, and neither of them said hello to anyone, but just glanced at each other.

Steward Zhang on the side said to Gongjie Liu: "The old man is inside, please please." ”

Gonggong Liu bowed his head, buried himself in the threshold, and glanced back at Qi Yan before walking in.

Qi Yan was a little curious about Gonggong Liu, but she was just curious, and before she got to the point of getting to the bottom of it, she looked at Steward Zhang on the side.

Steward Zhang was stunned, and saw that Qi Yan seemed to have something to say.

"Young lady, do you have any orders?"

Qi Yan smiled: "Steward Zhang, are you busy now?" ”

Steward Zhang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young lady, if there is anything, you can just give orders." ”

Qi Yan said: "I really have something, I want you to help!" ”

"You just command."

Qi Yan: "You help me, I'll pay attention to Xie Li's movements." ”

"Xie Li?" Steward Zhang was puzzled, but he didn't ask more, nodded seriously, and said, "No problem, young lady." If there's any situation, I'll report to you right away. ”

Qi Yan smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you!" ”

"You're so polite." Steward Zhang said, "This is what I should have done." ”

After speaking, he saluted Qi Yan and Luo Twelve and left.

Luo Twelve looked at Steward Zhang's back and said, "The Xie family, there are also loyal servants. ”

Qi Yan said: "Yes, Steward Zhang was rescued by the old man back then. ”

"Really?" Luo XII said, "How did I not know? ”

"Uh......" Qi Yan paused, "Don't you know now?" ”

"How do you know?" Luo XII asked.

Qi Yan can't say that I knew about it unintentionally in my previous life, in short, after a few vague words, this matter is over.

Inside the Xie Mansion, they are busy, and Dali Temple is not resting!

Everyone thinks that they Dali Siqing, Jiang Ren, and Jiang Daren probably even have the heart to hang themselves......

Just before a stick of incense, Lord Qingjiang of Dali Temple looked at him with a pair of dark circles that seemed to be drawn out with ink, and he forgot to sleep and eat, and he was in a difficult position.

The three princes were assassinated, and they had no clue, the emperor was urging him in a hurry, and Jiang Ren was sweating profusely......

At this moment, the snow came again.

"My lord! My lord! The yacha rushed to Jiang Ren's room as if his butt was on fire, "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! ”

Master Jiang rubbed the eyes of the double shadow and said, "What's the matter?" Full, speak slowly, say well......"

What could be more anxious than the assassination of the third prince.

"The second prince was assassinated as a street man!" Yacha said, "People, people are no longer good......

"Let's go!" The brush in Master Jiang's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled, "You...... What did you say? ”

"The second prince was assassinated by someone in charge!" The voice of the yacha couldn't help but tremble, "It seems that people are no longer good!" ”

"Where's the Assassin!" Jiang Ren said, "No one has been caught!" ”

"No, there is no ......," Yacha said.

"Didn't catch any of them?" Jiang Ren asked again.

"Nope." Yacha shook his head and hurriedly said, "My lord, you, do you want to go and see the scene?" ”

"Where?" Master Jiang asked.

"Yongan Street!"

…………

…………

Wing On Street, which has just experienced a bold assassination.

Just when the third prince had just been buried and his bones were not cold, the second prince was stabbed to death on Yongan Street.

Yong'an Street is one of the nine main roads in Beijing, and it is full of people and traffic all day long.

When Jiang Ren arrived at Yong'an Street, this place had been blocked by the Yacha, and it was obvious that this place had experienced a short, but fierce fight.

Blood was spilled on the bluestone floor, scarlet and mottled.

At this time, the yacha pressed a person dressed as a guard and came over, this guard was wearing the clothes of the second prince's mansion, with injuries on his body, and his face was depressed and pale.

"Are you the person who protects the second prince?" Jiang Ren asked.

The guard looked dumb and speechless for a long time.

Jiang Ren sighed softly.

No wonder the guard was so lifeless, he was one of the guards of the second prince, the second prince was killed by assassins in front of him, and these guards inevitably wanted to atone for the royal family and bury the second prince.

Jiang Ren waved his hand at the yacha, signaling that he wanted to talk to the guard alone.

"I know you're dead in your heart now." Jiang Ren said.

The guard remained motionless, no different from being "dead".

Jiang Ren sighed: "But you still have a family, right?" ”

The guard moved slightly.

Jiang Ren said: "You cooperate with Dali Temple, and I will help you take care of your family." ”

As if he had finally reacted, the guard slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren looked back at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the guard spoke, his voice hoarse, as if someone had stuffed a handful of dry sand in his throat: "There are more than a dozen assassins...... It seems to be fifteen...... I don't see it clearly...... At that time, I wanted to protect His Highness...... But...... But ......"

As he spoke, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were scarlet: "But! Those assassins are amazing! I...... I can't get close......... I can't ......."

"So, you watched the second prince being killed?"

The guard shook his head: "I want to go over and protect Your Highness!" Those people are moving too fast! And a woman...... Her martial arts are too powerful! I didn't even see her movements clearly! She killed the Second Highness! That sword stabbed into the chest of the Second Highness at once! ”

"A woman?" Jiang Ren said, "Are you sure?" ”

"The other party is dressed as a woman!" The guard said, "But I don't know if I cover my face...... I ......"

Although he was trained, the man he protected was now killed in front of him...... For a while, the guard's memory was also a little confused.

Jiang Ren was rarely in a hurry, and said, "I understand, the other party is a woman...... Is it also because she is a woman, so you take it lightly? ”

The guard was stunned and didn't speak for a while.

Jiang Ren asked again: "Do assassins still have any characteristics?" ”

The guard took a deep breath and wiped his face, cheering himself up a little: "The martial arts are excellent, and the light skills are very good...... The camouflage is also top notch ......"

"So, the other party is quite powerful?"

"Yes!" The guard said, "I suspect that they are the ones who assassinated the Three Princes!" ”

Jiang Ren was noncommittal, but said, "This matter, Dali Temple will investigate." ”

After that, Master Jiang contacted the guard and asked him several questions, until the guard said one answer over and over again, and Jiang Ren gave up.

"My lord! My lord! Just when Jiang Ren asked the yacha to suppress the guards, Yan Yidao came in a hurry.

"My lord! I heard something was wrong! Yan Yidao ran out of breath.

Jiang Ren sighed long: "Something big happened......

…………

At this time, in the cell of Dali Temple, Xie Fuyi didn't seem to know what was going on outside, Xie Gongzi should eat, sleep, and live a good life.

Until Ren Yuanyang appeared in front of him.

"Lord Ren, good morning." Xie Fuyi said.

Ren Yuanyang said: "It's already afternoon." ”

Xie Fuyi smiled, stood up, patted the straw on his body, and said, "There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and there are almost ...... in prison."

As he spoke, he pointed to the skylight on his head: "It's cloudy today, I'm sleeping, and I don't know what time it is." ”

Ren Yuanyang said: "It's time to apply." ”

Xie Fu Yi bowed: "Thank you, Lord Ren reminded me." ”

Saying that, the two exchanged glances, and Xie Fuyi said slowly: "So, Lord Ren, what is the reason for coming to me at this time?" ”

"Ask you something." Ren Yuanyang said.

"Ask" Xie Fuyi nodded, looking like I was happy to cooperate.

Ren Yuanyang said: "When have you seen Lord Liu Man?" ”

"Liu Man?" Xie Fuyi said, "No, yesterday, he came with you and was carried out later." ”

"Later, didn't he see you?"

Xie Fuyi shook his head and said, "No." What's wrong? ”

Ren Yuanyang said: "You'd better tell the truth. ”

"No is nothing." Xie Fu Yi spread his hands, "What's there to lie about?" Saying that, he paused a little and said jokingly: "Could it be that Lord Liu is also poisoned?" ”

Ren Yuanyang said: "I don't know, but Lord Liu is missing." ”

"Missing?" Xie Fu Yi was stunned, "Liu Man? ”

"Yes." Ren Yuanyang said, "A jailer saw him yesterday, and he came to the prison at night, saying that he was looking for you. ”

Why is it silent
