Chapter 21 The Bloody Mansion of the Rivers and Lakes
Sui Yuanzhou also guessed a few points in his heart, and his face remained unchanged: "It is said that Concubine Li's mother died of illness?" β
Bai Tingran smiled coldly: "My aunt has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, although she is not a martial artist, but she is free and healthy, and she has never reported that she is sick in the palace, why is the disease so bad, it actually took people's lives all of a sudden?" β
Sui Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment and nodded, this matter is indeed strange.
Bai Tingran suddenly clenched his fists at Sui Yuanzhou, and said loudly: "Brother Yuanzhou, although I approach you with a purpose, but I also admire you very much, if Brother Yuanzhou is generous, please also ask you to convey this matter to the queen mother, if the queen mother is willing, Tingran is grateful." β
Sui Yuanzhou waved his hand, indicating that he did not take this little thing to heart, and said that he would convey it on his behalf.
Three days later, Kou Shu replied through Sui Yuanzhou, expressing her willingness to accept the Bai family's request, but it had been several years since the Bai Pear incident, and Kou Shu asked for a year to let her find out the true cause of Bai Li's death.
Bai Tingran immediately said that there was no problem, and on the same day, he also sent a girl to Kou Shu's side, and the girl called Mandarin Duck, who was the best spy in the Bai family's intelligence network, helping Kou Shu take care of the entire intelligence network. For a while, news about the harem from all directions continued to reach Kou Shu's ears like a spring. Mandarin Duck helped Kou Shu sort out and archive the information one by one every day, and in the past few days, he has sorted out a lot of interesting news.
On the other hand, Song Jinyan's mood has not been very good these days.
The property in the palace was secretly exchanged, and hundreds of genuine products appeared in the people for no reason, and he even did not hesitate to use the power of the rivers and lakes, but until now, there has been no news for a long time.
Suddenly, the window not far away shook slightly, as if something had floated in.
Song Jinyan waved his hand and retreated from the idle people: "How are things going?" β
A low and hoarse voice came from above the beams: "The subordinates have insulted the mission, and they have not found out who did it." β
Song Jinyan frowned slightly: "Yan Yi, what about you?" β
The voice remembered again, and there was a bit of self-reproach in it: "Yan Yi was injured and is still recuperating." β
Song Jinyan's brows furrowed even deeper, and there was a hint of hidden anger in his tone: "What kind of person can actually hurt Yan Yi to such an extent?" β
"My subordinates have investigated several times and found that a new Jianghu organization is involved behind this, which is extremely cautious and secretive, and even my subordinates have only heard of it."
"You mean the Bloody Building?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows, if this is really the case, the matter of the previous dynasty will be implicated in the rivers and lakes, and the matter may be more complicated than he thought.
"Exactly." The figure paused and replied.
The Blood Building is a Jianghu organization that has suddenly appeared in recent days, specializing in assassination, and has never missed. But anyone who is on the list of the Blood House has no chance of surviving. And the most strange thing about the Blood House is the way he takes over the business - he has to change his life for a life. If the employer asks the Bloody Building to kill a person, he must also kill a person for the Bloody Building. And the people to be killed in the bloody building are unpredictable, sometimes they are prostitutes in Qinglou, horsemen and pawns, sometimes they are knights in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes they are officials of the imperial court.
Song Jinyan has been paying attention to the Blood Building for a long time, but he can't find any clues about the Blood Building. I only know the legend of the sword flashing and the head falling to the ground.
"The matter of the objects in the palace, stop for a while-" Song Jinyan thought for a moment, this matter was on the cusp, the other party made up his mind that he would send someone to investigate, it was better to do the opposite, Song Jinyan said, "The other party should not know the horse feet left by Kou Yunwu when he died, let Yan Wu Yi become an official of Dali Temple, and check what clues there are in the prison." β
The figure moved slightly: "Subordinates receive orders." "The window fluttered slightly, as if nothing had happened.
One thing after another, Song Jinyan felt as if an invisible net was spreading towards him, and all the seemingly inconsequential details were intertwined and intertwined, making it difficult to sort out the clues.
Who is behind all this?
Song Jinyan looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but fall into boundless deep thought.
In the Yilan Palace, Concubine Qiong's face was a little anxious.
"Mother, I've reached this point, why don't you still believe me?" In Concubine Qiong's voice, there was a hint of crying.
Lan Ruoxuan's eyes lit up slightly, knowing that it was time. She bent down, gently helped up the half-squatting Concubine Qiong, and said softly: "Sister Qiong, it's not that I don't believe you. There's just one thing, if I don't figure it out, it's hard for me to trust my heart anyway. β
Concubine Qiong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the matter?" β
"Concubine Qiong, let me ask you, why do you hate Kou Shu so much?" Lan Ruoxuan suddenly bluntly said the name of the queen's mother, and her eyes instantly burst into a scorching light, "Kou Shu is the daughter of a general, and she has nothing to do with you, if I don't tell me your motives, it will be difficult for people to rest assured." β
When Concubine Qiong heard this, she didn't speak for a while, and her thoughts seemed to drift into the distance. When she came back to her senses, there was already a monstrous hatred in her eyes: "Concubine Lan only knows that I am the daughter of the Xue family, but does she know that my Xue family has a little sister?" β
"Little sister?" Lan Ruoxuan frowned, she had never heard of Concubine Qiong having a sister.
Concubine Qiong nodded and said, "My little sister is only two years younger than me, she is smart and cute, and Bing Xue is smart. But because of Kou Yunwu, a bruteβ"
Lan Ruoxuan was surprised: "Kou Yunwuβ"
Concubine Qiong continued: "Kou Yunwu's lieutenant took a fancy to my sister, and my sister didn't obey, so she directly took people captive. My father and mother didn't obey, and reported to the official several times, but they were all forced to be suppressed by Kou Yunwu. β
"Kou Yunwu actually connived at his subordinates to do such a ridiculous thing?" Lan Ruoxuan was surprised.
Concubine Qiong nodded: "Pity my sister, she was humiliated at a young age, and she felt that she no longer had the face to see anyone, and she washed her face with tears at home every day, and finally hanged herself," Concubines sighed a sigh of relief, and tried her best to suppress her surging emotions, and continued, "My mother is also too sad, and her body bones are a lot worse all of a sudden. Now he is only hanging on to his life with medicine. β
Lan Ruoxuan was silent, it turned out to be such a thing, and she couldn't help but sigh that she and Concubine Qiong were using each other, but when it came to her hatred for Kou Shu, she had a bit of sympathy.
Lan Ruoxuan's tone couldn't help but soften, and she took Concubine Qiong's hand: "My situation is also somewhat similar to yours, I grew up under the shadow of Kou Shu since I was a child, and I survived under the fence," Lan Ruoxuan paused, and a strange light appeared in her eyes, "From now on, you and I will be able to get what we want." β
Concubine Qiong raised her head, and her heart was also infected by Lan Ruoxuan's momentum, and she couldn't help but be stunned in place, so she had to nod her head blankly.
