Chapter 284: The Scapegoat
"You ...... Who sent it? I have no grievances with you. Song Jiayao pretended to be scared.
"I have some broken silver in my purse, if you are asking for money, I will give you this passage money, can you let us go back the way we came?"
"Little beauty, it's a pity, our master ordered us to be cruel to you, she said that you took away her husband, let us ruin your reputation, and dumped you in the wild." The masked leader said happily, already fantasizing in his mind about how Song Jiayao was begging for mercy under the five of them.
After Nangong Jin heard this person's unashamed words, his whole face was gloomy, and there was a large dark cloud above his head, and thunder and lightning could fall and kill them alive at any time.
Zhao Si also admired the courage of these people at this moment, and actually dared to pluck the fur on the angry male master Nangong Jin, who was feared by everyone......
He didn't even know whether to say that their newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. It's still time to sympathize with them for getting into big trouble and being used as a pawn.
"Don't stay!!" Nangong Jin refused indifferently.
As soon as he spoke, these masked assassins were enraged, and the five of them raised their big knives to attack Nangong Jin, and the secret guards who had been hiding in the shadows were also annoyed by this group of people at this moment.
Nangong Jin is not afraid at all, there are still people hiding in the dark, it is not clear whether this person is an enemy or a friend, he has to be lured out, if this person is also an enemy, then he will kill all these people!!
"Whoosh!!" The people who had not been seen in the shadows shot five silver needles, knocking down all the broadswords they were holding.
"Who!!" The masked man at the head asked.
The secret guard who has been hiding and hasn't shown up yet, can't help but complain in my heart at the moment, I'm here to save your lives!!
Nangong Jin gestured to Zhao Si, Zhao Si immediately let go of the reins, put his hand on the long sword hanging from his waist, performed light skills, and flew to the hidden position of the secret guard.
Drawing his sword and swinging it hard at the bush, the hidden guard immediately appeared, and drew his sword to block Zhao Siling's sword, and the sword wind slashed through the faces of the two.
"People from the dark web?" Nangong Jin immediately saw his origin from the swordsmanship of the person who was fighting against Zhao Si.
"The dark web?" Song Jiayao was shocked, she also learned from Lu Lin's rebellion that this organization was real, and they only obeyed Zhao Yue's dispatch, but why did they appear here?
A thought flashed through Song Jiayao's mind......
"Concubine De ......"
"Have you had a deal with her?" Nangong Jin asked, although Concubine De has nothing to do with him, her reputation is very famous in the whole of Kyoto, and she can at least be worthy of the word "De".
Song Jiayao shook her head, and then said, "What I'm worried about is that these five people who are similar to bandits, they are all sent by Murong Yunlan, and the members of the dark web who fought with Zhao Si may be Concubine De. ”
"Meant to protect us and stop her sister from doing stupid things."
After listening to her analysis, Nangong Jin couldn't help but laugh heartily, the more she got to know her, the more she felt that she was different, and she could analyze so calmly when her life and safety were threatened, which many people couldn't do.
After watching the play for a while, the five people who were ignored immediately picked up the big knife that fell to the ground, and then attacked Nangong Jin, who seemed to be powerless.
The eyelids of the dark guard jumped vigorously, these five people are really bold enough, even the Marquis of Peace dares to attack!! The dark guard wanted to stop the big knife of the five of them, but was intercepted by Zhao Si and asked, "Who sent you!!" ”
"I'm not here to harm you." The dark guard explained, but Zhao Si still stopped him, seeing that these big knives were about to slash Nangong Jin's shoulder.
"Insect carving skills." Nangong Jin sneered, then lowered his head and bent down to squat, raised his foot, kicked at the bottom of the five of them with a horizontal kick, and then turned over, raised his hand to grab the wrist of one of them, and broke it down hard.
With a "click", this person's wrist was broken, and he was carried up hard by Nangong Jin, and an over-the-shoulder fall threw him towards the other four.
"Ahhh The four screamed, and all fell to the ground.
"Papapa......" Song Jiayao applauded like a play, Nangong Jin glanced at her gently, and Song Jiayao threw him the hemp rope she found from the carriage.
Nangong Jin understood what she meant in seconds, and immediately stepped forward to tie up all the hands of these five people, and after the dark guard saw this scene, he also felt that things had become out of control.
"Knock on the Hou Ye." The dark guard half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully, his original intention was to protect Nangong Jin and Song Jiayao, and if these five people knew each other, they would take the opportunity to escape.
It's a pity that he overestimated the IQ of these assassins hired by Murong Yunlan, this IQ is simply a death pit!!
"Pingshen, you go back and tell Concubine De, I received her kindness, but I will not let it go easily." Nangong Jin admonished, and the dark guard glanced at these assassins, shook his head helplessly, and could only pray in his heart that they would ask for more blessings.
The secret guard disappeared in an instant, Nangong Jin looked at this group of assassins with a cold face, Zhao Si stepped forward and escorted a few of them back, they were originally going to go to the suburbs to play, but now they had to go back to Kyoto.
"You're going to Murong Mansion now, right?" Song Jiayao asked.
Nangong Jin nodded, and after thinking about it, Song Jiayao proposed: "I won't go on this trip to the water, and don't go too far, after all, Concubine De is also involved behind this, that is, even the current saint has been dragged into the water because of this matter, and it would be good to punish you with a small punishment and a big commandment." ”
"When did you become so soft-hearted?" Nangong Jin asked rhetorically, with Song Jiayao's character, she will repay if she doesn't look away, and it is estimated that even he will have to take her surname in turn.
"......" Song Jiayao gave him a blank look, she was not afraid of things, but she felt that there was no need to make a big deal about it, so that the Water Mansion, the Ping'an Hou Mansion, the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and the current saint were all involved in Murong Yunlan's crazy move because she couldn't get it.
Nangong Jin originally wanted to refuse, but after facing Song Jiayao's unwavering eyes, she could only choose to compromise in the end.
After the secret guard returned to the palace, he told Concubine De about the incident, and Concubine De almost fainted from the stimulation, but fortunately Lian'er was behind her.
"Quick, you go and tell my father, explain this matter to my father, and take Murong Yunlan to make amends!!" Concubine De said in fear, she had already warned her sister before, she originally planned that she would rein in, but she didn't expect it to get worse and hit Nangong Jin directly.
Murong Yunlan leisurely ate snacks and waited for the assassin hired by her personal maid to bring her good news, but she didn't expect to wait for Nangong Jin's visit.
"Brother Nangong is here?" Murong Yunlan said excitedly after hearing the report of her subordinates, and ordered her personal maid to tidy up her appearance, and then trotted to the living room like a girl in love.
As soon as the Hubu Shangshu heard the report of the secret guard sent by Concubine De, he immediately rushed back from the military department Shangshu's house, and as soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of his house, he saw Zhao Si dragging five masked people and confronting the gatekeepers.
As for Nangong Jin, he had been hiding in the carriage and did not show up, while Song Jiayao glanced at him with his eyes and asked him if he was waiting for Hubu Shangshu to invite him down with such a big shelf?
"Brother Nangong!!" Murong Yunlan, who had been waiting for a while in the living room, trotted to the gate to greet Nangong Jin regardless of the dissuasion of the maidservant.
Song Jiayao looked at him with a smile in the carriage, this voice made her want to gag! ! Nangong Jinyan's blessing is not shallow......
Her personal maid was terrified when she saw Zhao Si dragging the five people with a hemp rope at the open door, and then reached out and pulled the corner of Murong Yunlan's clothes.
Murong Yunlan raised her hand and vigorously knocked away the rough fat hand that the maidservant was holding the corner of her clothes, and then glared back at her with anger on her face.
"Miss, those people, those people......" the maid said in alarm as she approached her ear, unable to say even a complete sentence.
"This, what's going on, so many people are lying at the door of Shangshu Mansion." Hube Shangshu said tactfully after getting down from his steps, but Zhao Si looked at him coldly and directly regarded him as a clown jumping off the beam.
Hubu Shangshu was so anxious at the moment that he was like a grasshopper falling into a hot pot, jumping up and down but not getting the slightest response from Nangong Jin, who was sitting peacefully in the carriage.
"Daddy is well." Murong Yunlan bowed to him, and then put all her attention on the carriage, expecting her sweetheart to come out of it.
"Zhao Si, tell Lord Hubu Shangshu of the origin of these people." Nangong Jin said indifferently, Murong Yunlan's maidservant's face turned pale instantly, and after feeling the cold eyes shot out of the carriage, she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Now it's exposed, she's dead...... this is the only thought of the servant girl at the moment.
"As soon as possible, Hou Ye wanted to go hunting in the suburbs, but he didn't expect to encounter these people who were not long-sighted to come out and assassinate, and after some torture, they all said that they were assassinated by the will of someone in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Households." Zhao Si said coldly, but hid the fact that Song Jiayao was with Nangong Jin at the moment.
Murong Yunlan turned her head and glared at her maidservant fiercely, but there was still a calm look on her face, and she was not afraid at all.
"This ......" Hubu Shangshu said with a puzzled face, but it was not good to step forward to reprimand Murong Yunlan, otherwise he would come forward to detain this matter to her, and she would be completely abolished.
"Hubu Shangshu, do you want to give an explanation to our Hou Ye?" Zhao Si asked, the silver scabbard reflected a cold glow on him under the sunlight, making him feel for a moment that this sword was on his neck at the moment.
Murong Yunlan crossed her hands behind her and dropped a few silver needles from under her sleeves, threatening the maidservant behind her.
The maid knew that she couldn't hide, so she knelt on the ground and said, "Back to the master, it's my fault, everything is instructed by the slave and maid." ”
Song Jiayao, who had already guessed that it would be this kind of ending in the carriage, also felt a little unhappy at the moment, but it was not happy, the scapegoat came out, and this matter is estimated to end here.
