Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storm Rises Again, Old Cases Revisited

The assassin who had been fed the poison was named Cao Xu, and he walked ahead tremblingly.

Sun Er slapped his shoulder with a wave of his hand, and shouted, "Don't look like you're scared, if our actions are discovered, you won't be able to eat and walk around, didn't you behave very majesticly in prison just now, but now you look like a wilted mouse?" ”

Cao Xuan had no choice but to straighten up and continue to walk forward, the drug attack was so severe that his five organs were about to stir every once in a while, and he was in a cold sweat, in order to save his life and other brothers, he could only listen to Sun Er's words.

Cao Xu took a few people behind him and walked into a mansion, which was not good-looking, just like the mansion of an ordinary businessman. There is no surname plaque, only a few small servants guarding outside.

A few people in night clothes came to the door, Cao Xuan showed his face, the little guy nodded, and let him go into the house.

Walking to a main hall, several people knocked on the door and entered.

I saw that Su had changed his flattering posture in the past, his eyes were extremely vicious, and there was a pair of walnuts on the table, he picked it up, played with it carefully in his hand, and looked at the few people in front of him with slanted eyes. opened his mouth and asked: "The matter can be done, those few people could have left their lives, but that Shangguan Wan is too smart, neither we nor His Royal Highness King Alcohol expected her to ask questions that have nothing to do with this case, but let us become passive." ”

Cao Xuan arched his hand and said: "Tell Lord Su, everything has been done, take advantage of the Jinxuansi and their arrival in the city restaurant today, drink and have fun, no one guards, even those corpses We have also disposed of, tomorrow will only spread the news of a few prisoners escaping, and no one will leak our news." ”

Su Duan stroked his beard, put the walnuts on the table, laughed a few times and said: "I think the empress will not be able to tolerate it, obeying her own Jinxuansi, she actually raised a bunch of waste, and dared to let the prisoner go under her nose." If this Jinxuan Division wants to promote the director in the future, there will only be Song Tianwolf alone, and when the time comes, we will not be able to worry about the great cause of His Royal Highness King Alcohol? ”

Cao Xu said yes again and again.

Su Duan smiled and instructed Cao Xu and the others: "You go back first, and when you sneak into my mansion tomorrow, my secret and Shangguan Wan's side room are together, you hide in the secret room, and wait until night to get rid of her." When the time comes, we will only say that it was the work of an assassin without a trace, and no one will find out about us. Get rid of this big trouble, Sun Er's recklessness can't make up his mind, and this case is left to us to deal with. ”

Cao Xuan looked up at Su Duan and replied: "Our subordinates obey orders, since we are sent by His Royal Highness the King of Alcohol, we must do our best for the great cause of His Royal Highness the King of Alcohol." ”

After that, he took a few people behind him and retired.

When they arrived at a deserted place, they got into a carriage and headed for the outskirts of the city.

On the carriage, several people leaked their faces one after another, which startled Cao Xu.

"Why do you have the same face as my brothers?"

One of them said: "Naturally, in order not to leak a drop of water, it is just a matter of disguise." His Royal Highness has no chance of winning, I don't know why a few of you are under his command to do things for him to frame people? It's really not the husband's doing. ”

When Cao Xu heard what this person said, he just lowered his head, and his voice was low: "We were originally refugees, but fortunately we were taken in by His Royal Highness King Alcohol. ”

The man asked, "Refugees?" Which state is a refugee? ”

Cao Xu replied: "Jizhou"

The rest of the people in the carriage were surprised: "Jizhou? A few days ago, the case of Jizhou's assassination was dealt with, and even several states were liquidated one by one, and Song Lin and Lin Cong were punished, you are actually from Jizhou? How does the alcohol king have anything to do with Jizhou? His fiefdom is not in the Jizhou area at all, not to mention that he is in Beijing all these days. ”

Cao Xu thought of the past, and seemed to be sad, so he had no choice but to speak: "You don't know, the case in Jizhou, if we had escaped a few years earlier, it would not have hurt the people so deeply, then Jizhou Thorn Shi Yan Wuxin, as the name suggests, is a person who has no faith in his words, and we have been in dire straits since a few years ago." It's just that he is strictly guarded, and we don't find a chance. It wasn't until a few years ago that His Royal Highness King Alcohol came to Jizhou, and he saw that a few of us couldn't eat enough, so he rewarded us with a mouthful of food, and we were grateful. My house was originally a blacksmith shop, and a few of us had the strength to do it, so His Royal Highness the King of Alcohol took us under his command. ”

One of the people in the carriage said: "King Alcohol didn't have any real power in the past few years, and the first emperor didn't send him out to take charge of things when he was there, if he can meet you in Jizhou, it is really worth scrutinizing." ”

Cao Xu didn't answer anymore until the carriage stopped in the annex on the outskirts of the city, and several people got out of the carriage, and the second and third highnesses were in the annex. Several people in the carriage saluted the Second and Third Highnesses. Cao Xucai trembled and saluted: "The grass people see the two highnesses"

Cao Xu went to the room to see that his brother was fine, and then he was relieved.

Several people in the courtyard said to the Second Highness and the Third Highness: "Tell the two Royal Highnesses of King Yin, just now in the carriage we found out from that Cao Xu's mouth, a few years ago, King Alcohol went to Jizhou to bring them under his command, and in the past few years Jizhou has been full of refugees, and the servants have followed the two Highnesses for many years, and they have also been in Beijing for many years. I haven't heard that the first emperor or the empress sent King Alcohol to the area of Jizhou, not to mention that his fief is no longer in that area, since he saw the dire situation in Jizhou, but did not file a complaint, this is also worth scrutinizing. ”

King Yin and King Yin glanced at each other, and King Yin instructed two of them: "We are here tonight to guard, you two quickly go back to Su Mansion, tell Lord Si Qing about this, and see what she says, after all, we are only assisting in this case, or it is better for Jinxuan Si to send someone to report to the mother emperor." ”

The two men changed their clothes and hurried into the city.

Sun Er and Shangguan Wan and his entourage went back to the house after eating in the restaurant. Na Su was waiting in the foyer as soon as possible, and said, "Lord Siqing, but my mansion is not well entertained?" ”

Shangguan Wan blessed her body slightly: "It's just that the brothers don't have to be on duty tonight, so they will go outside to drink and have fun, and they will be on duty strictly tomorrow." Lord Su's hospitality is excellent, Master Su must not be surprised by us. ”

Su Duan smiled and stretched out his hand to ask them to go back to the wing room first. Looking at the backs of their group, Su Duan's eyes were extremely ruthless.

The subordinates of the two highnesses also returned to the mansion and saw Shangguan Wan tell Shangguan Wan what Cao Xu had said. Shangguan Wan's mind turned, but she realized that this was a bigger game of chess, maybe the old case was going to be reopened. His Royal Highness is much more mysterious than he imagined.

Shangguan Wan said to the two subordinates: "Two envoys, I already know that I will handle this matter safely, and I don't have to let the two highnesses worry about it. Please tell your Highnesses that there may be huge waves ahead, but Your Highness is much deeper than I imagined. ”

After his subordinates retreated, Shangguan Wan ordered Qi Xin: "Sister Qi Xin, now this is a bigger game of chess, we are all involved in it, King Alcohol wants to get rid of me, get rid of the second highness and the third highness, and get rid of all the thorns in his side." Maybe this game of chess has been laid out a few years ago, just waiting for the Second Highness and the Third Highness to take advantage of the loopholes, as for me, it seems that it is not planned, so King Alcohol will definitely get rid of me. Fortunately, we have already set up a back hand, and now the great-grandfather should also send someone to Dengzhou, you will go to the drunken immortal fang in the city to tell the people of Lin Zhange, let them go back to Beijing first, find out the matter of King Alcohol and Jizhou, Song Lin and Lin have not yet been executed, and two people from our subordinates will return to Beijing first, but they can't go back to Jinxuansi, first go to Dali Temple Shaoqing Wei Ru is Lord Wei, and then go to Ji Hengren, if the two of them know, they will definitely enter the palace Empress Bingming, if our people enter the palace, they will definitely attract attention. ”

Ji Xin remembered the shocking changes in the palace some time ago, looked at the girl in front of her, who was only sixteen or seventeen, and couldn't help but sigh: "The young pavilion master is so smart, but His Royal Highness the King of Alcohol is so attentive, if the Jizhou case involves him, I am afraid that there will be a monstrous wave behind it, in fact, we could have left it behind." ”

Shangguan Wan took out the wrench left for her by her grandfather from her bosom and said: "The Shangguan family is loyal to the country, how can they retreat in order to protect the peace of the country." With such a big picture, there must be more monstrous waves waiting for us behind us, so we have to be careful. ”

Qi Xin quietly went out of the back door and went to the Drunken Immortal Fang outside the city.
