Chapter XXVIII
I don't know where the news of the massacre in the Prime Minister's Mansion leaked out, and it was inevitable that the streets and alleys would spread falsehoods, making all the people in Lin'an City panic, and the materials of the storytellers in the large and small teahouses did not need to be found for a while.
The survivors after the massacre were well protected, and the gates of the Liewang Mansion and the Prince's Mansion were heavily guarded officers and soldiers, and the seemingly tight defense was completely vulnerable in front of the real masters.
"The officers and soldiers of the whole city are looking for the murderer, but you have come to me leisurely." Wan Qiliang looked at someone sitting at the table drinking tea, maybe she could consider selling Youqin Jiatian in exchange for a big bonus, although she was not short of money.
"The people sent by the sect were wiped out before they could carry out their mission, and this time it was not our doing." Youqin Jiatian's tone was solemn, but there was nothing abnormal in his expression.
"I thought the woman was confusing the public, but I didn't expect to state a fact."
"Women?"
"It's said to be one of the four envoys of the Nightmare, so it shouldn't be someone else's pretend."
"Her last mission hasn't been completed yet, and now she should be in Qiliang." Youqin Jiatian smiled coldly, someone spent his mind on them, it seems that he has really been too negligent recently.
"In other words, someone hit the idea on the Nightmare Cult." Wan Qi Liang didn't think it was too strange, after all, it was really normal for the tree to make a big move, whether it was in the rivers and lakes or in the imperial court, there were not a few people who wanted to get rid of the Nightmare Sect, but they were willing to spend such a big deal to clash head-on with the Nightmare Sect, and I am afraid that the other party would not be a small role.
"I've probably been busy lately, and I may not have time to come and see you, even though I've arranged for the shadow guard to be by your side, you have to be more careful yourself." Youqin Jiatian walked in front of Wan Qiliang and hugged her tightly in his arms, his voice was full of apologies, it was all his own carelessness, which may have put her in a dangerous situation, it was all his fault.
Hugging Youqin Jiatian back, Wan Qiliang said slowly, "Don't worry about me, I'm not a fragile vase, and I also want to see who has the ability to compete with you." ”
"Trust me so much?"
"Shouldn't it?" Wan Qiliang's trusting tone pleased Youqin Jiatian, he knew that the final result would be like this, but he was even happier to verify it himself.
Youqin Jiatian had never shown his bloodthirsty side in front of Wan Qiliang, and he was worried about whether she would be able to accept him like that, but his inadvertent temptations all got answers that satisfied him.
Wan Qiliang felt the change in Youqin Jiatian's mood, and he was just as uneasy as her, they were both insecure people, and they were also the kind of idealism that they wanted to spend their lives together after confirming it, so they were constantly making sure that they were responsible for themselves and each other.
Before the two of them could warm enough, the gradually clear and rapid footsteps outside the door stopped at the door, and the moment the door was opened, only Wan Qiliang was left alone in the room.
"Princess, the prince invites you over." Wang Hai even knocked on the door, as the housekeeper of the palace, his biggest feature is to watch people put down dishes, in his opinion, Wan Qiliang is just an unfavored princess, he doesn't need to care much about it at all, so even the most basic etiquette was deliberately ignored by him.
Wan Qiliang didn't even look at him, he completely regarded him as air, and turned a deaf ear to what he said, Huangfu Yuexun hadn't pointed fingers at her, and a slave wanted to bully her without his might, and he was really arrogant.
"Princess, the prince invites you over." Wang Hai raised his voice, but Wan Qiliang still didn't react, which made him anxious.
"Princess, if you don't go over, the princess will be angry, I'm afraid the princess can't afford it." Wang Hai's words were threatening, he paid too little attention to Wan Qiliang, otherwise he would not have said such unmeasured words.
"You can go back and tell him, but remember to bring it with you when you go out." Wan Qiliang ignored Wang Hai's threat, or rather, this was not a threat at all in Wan Qiliang's opinion, but should she consider reminding Huangfu Yuexun to improve the overall quality of the palace.
Wang Hai was very angry that Wan Qiliang didn't eat the soft and hard, but it was impossible to be her, so he had to flick his sleeves and leave the room, as if he still had words in his mouth, to see who couldn't eat after he went back to report.
Wan Qiliang was too lazy to pay attention to unworthy people, but he didn't expect that the person who was sent over again would be him, but with his relationship with Huangfu Yuexun, how could he let him do such a thing?
"Would the princess mind being here?" Murong Lunshu was brought to the Liewang Mansion by Huangfu Yuexun in the name of protection, and discussed what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, they were just halfway through the discussion, Huangfu Yuexun suddenly said that he wanted to let Wan Qiliang come over, and Wang Hai went to no avail, so he wanted to try what was difficult for Wan Qiliang in Wangkou's eyes.
"It's okay, just a few surprises."
"The prince wants to invite the princess to come over, I wonder if the princess can go with me?"
"Murong Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, it's really overkill to do this kind of thing with your relationship with the prince, and you are still my life-saving benefactor, how can I not go?"
"The princess is serious." Murong Lunshu smiled slightly, it seemed that he was used to maintaining the image of a handsome son, probably his elegance penetrated into his bones, so even if it sounded hypocritical, it would not look contrived if he deduced it.
Wan Qiliang followed Murong Lunshu to Huangfu Yuexun's study, every time he came here, there was nothing good, and there were not only Huangfu Yuexun and Huangfu Yueli sitting inside. Huangfu Yueli has not yet married, so he does not have his own mansion, and Huangfu Zhuotian also made an exception to allow Huangfu Yueli to go to the Liewang Mansion to recuperate, so that at a glance, he can know Huangfu Yueli's position.
"Are you finally willing to come?" Huangfu Yue Xun said in a weird way, Wan Qiliang had long been used to his state, just glanced at him lightly, and then casually found a place to sit down.
"The minions in the palace really don't have any rules, otherwise they won't be disgusted when they see it, and they will be so sick that they don't even want to walk."
"Sharp teeth." The whole body was injured, and it didn't delay the mood of the emperor's more courtesy, and he didn't forget to say a word when he got the opportunity.
"Tell me, what did you call me for?" Wan Qiliang will not be like a little child, but the feeling that Huangfu Yueli gave her is different from when they first met, and she can't say what is different.
"What did you think of that incident last night?"
"Ask me? The prince really lifted me up. Wan Qiliang didn't expect Huangfu Yuexun to really discuss this matter with her, her identity is more or less sensitive, and how could his machismo let her know what they think, could it be that he found something?
"If I ask you, you will say, where is so much nonsense!" Huangfu Yuexun is now like a fighting beast trapped in a cage, and it is inevitable that he will be short-tempered when he is injured.
"Did Wan Jisheng find it?" The moon was dark and the wind was high, Wan Qiliang didn't pay attention to where Wan Qisheng ran away, and at that time she thought that it was Qin Jiatian's subordinates who were on a mission, and Wan Qisheng's employer must have a perfect plan to ensure his safety, but now it seems that maybe he was really taken away or even killed, so she always thought that finding him was the breakthrough point of this incident.
"Not yet, my father has ordered to see people alive and corpses to die, and he must be retrieved no matter what, do you suspect that it is him?"
"It's hard to say, but if he's still alive, there's reason to believe that last night's incident had something to do with him, after all, he's the organizer, isn't he?" Wan Qiliang didn't have any father-daughter affection for Wan Qisheng, especially after Bai Qingyan died, but she didn't want him to die, wouldn't it be too cheap for him to die too easily?
"He's your father." Every time Huangfu Yueli interjected, it was inappropriate, and it attracted the glares of three people at once.
"Well, I know, by blood, yes."
"But if it really was him, why would he do it?" Huangfu Yuexun still agrees with Wan Qiliang's point of view to a certain extent, but what the motive is, they must figure it out.
"How do I know?" Wan Qian glanced at Huangfu Yuexun, if she knew everything, she would have told Youqin Jiatian a long time ago, lest she still worry about him.
"You woman!" Huangfu Yuexun can always be blocked by her and can't say a word, but he can't help her.
"The prince called me here just to let me provide a possible direction, I have already said, do you want me to investigate the case?"
"You went to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance, didn't you find anything wrong with Wan Qisheng?" Huangfu Yuexun still doesn't give up, he doesn't have a clue now, his father handed over this matter to the Criminal Department to deal with, he and Huangfu Yueyang can't interfere, the Prime Minister's Mansion is also blocked, except for private individuals, they are all taken to a specific place to be protected, unless there is a father's edict, no one can enter, it really makes him have no way to start.
"I don't have much contact with him in the first place, and I really can't see anything based on less than an hour of negotiation." If it weren't for Qin Jiatian telling herself, she wouldn't have imagined that Wan Qisheng would have such an idea and put it into action, but he might have stolen chickens and rice, and he would have lost a lot of money.
"You really didn't find anything?" Huangfu Yue Xun did not give up, and his impatience made him desperate to know the truth of the facts.
"It turns out that the prince asked me to come here not to trust me, but to doubt me, so I really have nothing to say." Wan Qiliang didn't want to get involved, she always felt that the conspiracy behind this had just begun, and it wouldn't be so simple, so for a lazy person like her, the troubles that could be avoided were all avoided.
Huangfu Yuexun also knew that he was a little anxious, and he had no way to refute Wan Qiliang's words, because he knew that he was thinking this way in his heart, and calling Wan Qiliang over was just to test how much she knew, and he thought that she would understand a little bit, but when the actual situation was not as he imagined, his emotions became a little out of control.
"The princess doesn't have to be angry, the prince is just anxious, after all, such a big thing happened." Murong Lunshu plays the role of a peacemaker, and now in this case, it is much better to have one more friend than one more enemy, and he also sent someone to check it in private, but all traces seem to have been deliberately erased by someone with a heart, and even those killers have disappeared without a trace, it stands to reason that the Murong family's intelligence network will not be so incompetent, but what happened this time made him have to be cautious, because they didn't know who the enemy was, and suspected that it was the Nightmare Sect, but they still didn't know where to start, And it can't be seen who they are targeting, all the dead are ordinary people, at most they are a little talented, does this constitute a reason to be killed?
"I suggest you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, there may be any clues there." Wan Qi Liang didn't have a clue when he thought about it, so sometimes it was okay to borrow someone else's hand to accomplish his own goals, but it was not certain whether these people in front of him would let him down.
Huangfu Yuexun didn't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find out, but his current situation is actually similar to being under house arrest, Huangfu Zhuotian suspects too many people, even he is one of them, the soldiers outside the door are called to protect him, in fact, they are spying on him, what should he do in order to get the information he wants without alarming the secret guards specially prepared for him by his father, this is really a headache.
The four people in the study were all thinking about each other, and they could only hear each other's heavy breathing, and the difficulty of this matter was really beyond their expectations, and what to do and how to do it became a problem for them to struggle......
