CHAPTER XXXIV
"Brother An! I'm finally looking forward to your return! With the help of the Shadow Guards, An Ruiqi returned to the room smoothly, and saw Mo Niancong greet him with a sad face.
"Why is Brother Mo so troubled?"
"Just now I took someone back to Duan's mansion, and I planned to wait for Duan Shangshu to return to the mansion and then go to open the coffin for an autopsy, but Duan Shangshu turned back on his word and resisted desperately, but I hate that there are only dozens of officials in my prefect's mansion, and they can't beat the hundreds of guards in his family no matter what......"
An Ruiqi was a little stunned after hearing this, and asked, "Could it be that Duan Shangshu dares to blatantly resist and disobey the order?" ”
"Naturally, I don't dare, but the old treacherous is as cunning as him, and it is not difficult to quibble. According to him, there is no mention of the exact date of the opening of the coffin and the autopsy, and although he will be allowed to do so sooner or later, he is not sure when, and he is still immersed in the pain of losing his son, so he does not want to mention it. After speaking, Mo Niancong slapped the table indignantly, but felt that the palm of his hand was hot and painful.
"From what I saw in the imperial study this morning, he was obviously jealous of the emperor, but in the blink of an eye, he became so fearless, which is really strange......" An Ruiqi analyzed calmly.
"According to the servants of the Duan Mansion, Duan Shangshu is returning to the house today by the carriage from Uncle Rongguo's mansion, I don't know if the two have secretly colluded......
"It seems that Uncle Rong Guo is the root cause of this matter, if he can't control the military power, I'm afraid he can't be suppressed......" Although An Ruiqi already knew the ins and outs of Duan Ming's murder in his heart, he had no choice but to have everything ready, so he owed the east wind of opening the coffin for autopsy, if he couldn't find conclusive evidence, Ning Yue would not be able to appear in front of people in front of people. Thinking that although Ning Yue was not at fault, he was forced to live a life of outlaw because of Duan Nantian's stubbornness, An Ruiqi couldn't help but feel a little angry. The prime minister's words are not unreasonable, if he can really take a lot of mountains and grasses for his own use, so as to strengthen the power of the An Jiajun, why can't he restrain Uncle Rongguo's domineering ...... "Duan Shangshu has Uncle Rongguo as a backer, and few people can help him...... Although he was helpless, the matter of opening the coffin and conducting the autopsy had to be put aside for the time being......" An Ruiqi calmed down and replied indifferently.
"That's all there is to it...... Nian Cong is entrusted by Brother An, and it is really difficult to let go...... For the sake of today's plan, I can only do my best to collect and sort out the criminal evidence of Uncle Rong Guo's party and present it to the emperor as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a little bit of a contribution to this case......" Mo Niancong sighed and cautiously continued: "Seeing that there is only one month left in the March period...... I wonder what Brother An's plans are? ”
"If the sky doesn't see mercy, I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with her, and don't ask about the world......," An Ruiqi replied leisurely.
"Now that Duan Shangshu and Uncle Rong Guo are in cahoots, I'm afraid Uncle Rong Guo won't let Miss Ning go easily...... With the thousands of capable people under him, wouldn't it be easy to catch Miss Ning......" Mo Niancong said worriedly.
"If it really comes to that situation, I will take her to another country to hide, although Uncle Rong Guo wants to win people's hearts through this, but he may not bother for a little woman like her, not to mention, the huge Ning Mansion is close in front of me, why bother to seek far...... " An Ruiqi sneered.
"What Brother An said is very ...... I still hope that the heavens will be ...... people," Mo Niancong said softly.
The quiet night was deep, the frost was condensed, the dark fragrance was floating, and the moon shadow was lonely, An Ruiqi sat alone in front of the candle, blowing the whistle, but he didn't see the pigeon flying when he heard it, and he was stunned.
"See the master!" The leader of the Shadow Guard quietly arrived and saluted An Ruiqi.
An Ruiqi nodded silently.
"Master, it's a long way to go, even with the ability of the Shadow Guard to travel thousands of miles a day, it is expected that they have just arrived in the north, and there is no reply to the letter, which is normal." The leader whispered.
"Prepare a fast horse for me, and I will leave tomorrow to join Brother Ning." Since hearing Mo Niancong's words, An Ruiqi has been uneasy and uneasy. If Uncle Rongguo has sent someone to arrest Yue'er, can the Shadow Guards find Yue'er before them? Can they beat them? Every time he thought of this, An Ruiqi fidgeted, and wanted to break through the guards several times without saying goodbye.
"What can the master do? Please listen to the words of your subordinates, there is a shadow guard, and the master can rest assured. The leader replied indifferently.
"Uncle Rong Guo has many people with superb martial arts, if the Shadow Guards are defeated, at least I can outwit them. I've made up my mind, and if you don't want to help, I won't force it, and now my injuries are much better, and there are a few guards outside the door, and I can handle it alone. After speaking, An Ruiqi took out the ebony token from his arms and handed it over.
When the leader saw this, he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his head and knelt down and said, "Master, please take it back!" The Shadow Guard should not have disobeyed the master's will, but he was deeply favored by the prime minister, and out of selfishness, he stopped the master from going at this time......"
"Since you obey the prime minister's orders, I naturally won't blame you, tell the prime minister for me, I am willing to be a lobbyist, but before that, I will go and find Yue'er back and put it by my side."
"Master, please believe that in a few days, in a few days, there will be the best of both worlds......" the leader replied in a hesitant manner.
An Ruiqi saw that there seemed to be a clue in it, and asked in a low voice: "Why can't you tell the truth now?" ”
"This matter should not have been mentioned to the owner...... After a few days, if the master has not changed his original intention, he will find ten horses for the master to travel day and night, and will not delay the master's important affairs. After speaking, the leader kowtowed to An Ruiqi.
An Ruiqi looked at the man in black kneeling in front of him suspiciously, and nodded silently.
