Chapter 416: The Vortex of Power

It was not Zhao Wenluo who made an exclamation, but Zhao Wenluo's subordinates, and the person named Li Si turned his head, not daring to face Zhao Wenluo's slightly surprised expression.

"Who he is, the Seventh Prince must know very well, right? By the way, there are still a few corpses in the cellar of my mansion, do you want to identify them, don't say that we wronged you. ”

Dongfang Yi had a sarcastic smile on his face, and Zhao Wenluo's hand slapped Li Si in the face: "The master treats you well, you actually eat inside and out!" ”

"Who instructed you to assassinate you?" Zhao Wenluo pale and pushed away Dongfang Yi's hand that was tugging at his neck.

Dongfang Yi let go of his strength, but the look on his face was vigilant and guarded.

"I don't want to know about the affairs of the Seven Princes' Mansion, but fortunately, Jin'er is fine, otherwise ......"

After Dongfang Yi finished saying this, Zhao Wenluo took the lead and said: "The person is my house, and the assassination was not instigated by me, I will give you and Jin'er an explanation for this matter." ”

"Then I'll wait for the good news of the Seven Princes!"

Dongfang Yi brushed his sleeves away, and Zhao Wenluo's subordinates quietly glanced at Zhao Wenluo, knowing that this time he was really angry, and often the more angry Zhao Wenluo was, the calmer his expression became.

"Take it down and torture it well."

"Yes, master."

This Nalan Jin finally waited for Dongfang Yi to return home, and he was relieved to see that he was good.

"Things are getting out of our hands."

With a sigh, Nalan Jin couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, her right arm was only scratched with a skin wound, and Dongfang Yi's left arm seemed to be bleeding.

It is very likely that Fang Cai accidentally cracked, Dongfang Yi saw her staring at her wound and laughed: "Jin'er, you look at your husband like this, and after a while, your husband can't stand it, but you have to help her husband extinguish the fire." ”

Nalan Jin was stunned, and after reacting to what he meant, he glared at him in annoyance: "When is it, you are still joking, come here, your wounds are all cracked, I will bandage you well!" ”

"Jin'er, you still talk about me, let me see your wounds."

Dongfang Yi insisted on seeing the wound, Nalan Jin had to show him, and found that there was nothing wrong with what he said before, so Dongfang Yi was relieved to let Nalan Jin redress his wound.

"Dongfang, this time we are caught in the power struggle between the two princes, and the future will not be easy."

Dongfang Yi let out a "hmm", with a rare seriousness on his face: "If we want to protect the Nalan family, we must plan well, we must not let people have half a chance to take advantage of it, and in addition, keep a distance from the two princes as much as possible." ”

Although Nalan Jin didn't speak, he actually thought so, after all, the battle between the two princes has always existed, and the Nalan family will definitely not settle down much if they fall into it.

"Do you think Lolo can find the slightest trace?"

Nalan Jin was a little worried, although Dongfang Yi could comfort her with beautiful words, she also knew that what Nalan Jin wanted to hear was the truth: "Since the other party dares to do it, then no one will find any traces." ”

As Dongfang Yi said, Zhao Wenluo searched through the entire Seven Princes' Mansion, and did not find out the reason, and a large part of the people in the Seven Princes' Mansion actually left, and there was no trace.

These things were too weird, and at the same time, Zhao Wenluo was angry, his subordinates knelt down, he didn't dare to raise his head, but the voice clearly reached Zhao Wenluo's ears.

"Master, my subordinates have checked it all, and the mastermind behind the scenes is very smart to hide all the clues."

Zhao Wenluo turned his back to his hands, suddenly turned around and said indifferently: "No matter what the price is, this matter must be brought to the bottom of the matter!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Wenluo had already guessed Zhao Wenlu, but all the evidence pointed to himself and the Seven Princes' Mansion, which was extremely unfavorable to him.

So far, he has not found the slightest clue, the previous Li Si has already hanged himself, and all the clues have been completely broken.

In the house, the Lin family heard that Dongfang Yi had been assassinated early in the morning, and a trace of joy appeared in his heart, if there was no Dongfang Yi, Nalan Jin would not be able to support this family at all, and then it would be time for her and Lin Dacheng to turn over and call the shots.

"Dacheng, why haven't I seen you these days?"

Lin just asked casually, Lin Dacheng was nervous for a moment, and then returned to his usual explanation: "I just went out for something, mother, what's the important matter to come back to me in such a hurry?" ”

Lin was about to speak, but his eyes touched Xiao Cui's figure and said to her: "Xiao Cui, you go to the account room and get me three pieces of cloth, and when you have time, you can pull a few clothes for Yi'er and them to wear." ”

Knowing that the Lin family deliberately broke away from Xiaocui, Lin Dacheng didn't open his mouth to keep it, and the Lin family saw that the person was gone, and pulled him to sit beside him: "Dacheng, now is the best opportunity." ”

"Mother, what do you mean?"

Lin Dacheng asked suspiciously, until he heard the Lin family say that Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin were assassinated, and then combined with what the Lin family said before, he was really stupid if he didn't know Lin's intentions.

"He was assassinated, it is said to be very serious, it is said that he will not be able to endure for a few days, and when he can't do it, you will be the only man left in the house, Qi'er is still young, won't you have to honor your righteous brother when the time comes?"

The Lin family described a bright future for Lin Dacheng, and it seems that as soon as Dongfang Yi dies, these family properties will belong to Lin Dacheng.

To say that he is not impressed is false, Dongfang Qi alone is very rich, not to mention the entire family business, Lin Dacheng feels comfortable when he thinks about it.

Although Lin Dacheng was moved, he did not lose his mind.

"Now you just have to go to the East, and when the time comes, when his heart softens, won't the family property be captured?"

Lin Dacheng was still sensible, so he didn't agree immediately, but said: "Mother, don't worry about this, I have a certain number in my heart." ”

He didn't want to act rashly, on the one hand, he was cautious, and on the other hand, he felt that this matter was a little strange, and he couldn't act rashly until he had to.

The next day, in a remote courtyard, Shen Caiyi heard someone talking about something halfway through, and looked through the crack in the stone and found that it was two maids.

"I heard that my uncle was assassinated, and when I came back, he was still bleeding!"

"It's not, it is said that my uncle ran to the Seven Princes' Mansion in a rage at that time, and came back with a angry face."

"You're saying that all this could be the Seventh Prince......"

Shen Caiyi probably knew a little bit of the inside story, but before she heard the key scene, the housekeeper came.

"Miss and Uncle didn't buy you here to listen to your gossip, if it's okay, they will go their separate ways."

As soon as the housekeeper's voice fell, who dared to say anything, and hurriedly left to do other things, Shen Caiyi also wanted to leave, but unexpectedly accidentally stepped on a dead branch.

"Who's there!?"

The housekeeper asked sharply, Shen Caiyi knew that he couldn't hide Shi Shiran came out.

"It turned out to be you, I don't know what to order?" The housekeeper's words were respectful, but his eyes looked down on Shen Caiyi a little, but he hid it well.

Shen Caiyi explained: "It's just that I'm a little tired, and I want to come to the courtyard to take a stroll outside, and the housekeeper won't even allow this, right?" ”

"Don't dare, after all, Miss Shen is a distinguished guest of the young uncle."

The housekeeper deliberately bit the word "distinguished guest", and a trace of coldness flashed in Shen Caiyi's eyes, and then disappeared: "I heard that Dongfang has been assassinated in the past few days, and the murderer is still the Seventh Prince, who is good friends with his wife, what do you know, butler?" ”

While asking, Shen Caiyi also stuffed a bracelet to the housekeeper, and the texture was very good at first glance, and the housekeeper's eyes flashed slightly.

did not directly answer Shen Caiyi's question: "The affairs of the master's family are not something we can intervene in, and the affairs of the royal family are not something we can discuss." ”

Although it was an element of reprimand, Shen Caiyi still heard the deep meaning inside, and it seemed that the house was now caught in the infighting between the two princes.

was even classified as a party of the Seven Princes, and realizing this problem, Shen Caiyi and the housekeeper were rarely silent.

"I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first, Miss Shen, goodbye."

The housekeeper didn't say anything to her, just turned around and left, Shen Caiyi looked at his back, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After the housekeeper left, he didn't go anywhere else, but went to find a small servant at the back door, and that person was the person who was placed in the mansion by the third prince, Zhao Wenlu.

"I'm sorry for you to give this letter to the third prince." The housekeeper didn't know what to give the little guy, and the little guy nodded in response.

This move was secretive and unnoticed by others, and the butler cautiously inspected a few times, and then closed the door of the mansion, cutting off the sight.

After Zhao Wenlu got the housekeeper's intention to take refuge in himself, even if he knew that he was opening his mouth in the letter, he readily agreed to his request.

also asked someone to send a letter to the housekeeper, as for the money, it must be sent into the house in disguise, after all, Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Zhao Wenlu's people were planning to hand over the things to the housekeeper without alarming others, but they unexpectedly met Xiaocui halfway.

Xiao Cui found that the person was sneaky, and remembered the previous assassination incident, and went to Nalan Jin to report the matter, so the person was taken to the main hall by Nalan Jin's people.

And the butler happened to be caught when the man was caught, but the stolen goods were not yet in the butler's hands.

"Why do you have so much money as a doorman outside? Did you recruit yourself, or did I order you to be sent to the government? ”

The spy selected by Zhao Wenlu was simply a coward, and when he heard that he was sent to the palace, he was immediately afraid: "Miss spare your life, these things are brought by the housekeeper, and they don't matter about small things!" ”

As soon as the housekeeper saw that he had been betrayed, he hurriedly argued: "Miss Mingcha, the old slave has been in the house for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, what is going on with these things, the old slave doesn't know, the old slave just asked him to buy some special products before, and wanted to take them home to try them, but I don't know how it became expensive gold and silver." ”

The housekeeper made up his mind that he would never recruit him, and said that he didn't know anything, and he cried as he spoke.
