When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he turned his face sideways to Tang Jingran and smiled slightly and said: "The girl is smart and smart, and if she hones more, during the holidays, his daily achievements are limitless, and he will be above this princess." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Tang was a little embarrassed to speak: "The eldest princess is really a little ridiculous, she is young, and she is still at a loss for the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how can she be above the princess." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said: "There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. Time flies, Shaohua is white, this is something that no one can resist, the old generation of the rivers and lakes will grow old, the younger generations will rise, and the princess will also give way to you. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Tang was a little surprised in her heart, she didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to recommend and value herself so much.

Tang was shocked to pinch the ends of his braids, looked at the ground a little shyly, and then remembered something, so he said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, what should we do with it now, that woman seems to have turned back." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said, "Don't worry about this matter, that woman will come out by herself, just be patient for a while." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Tang was a little suspicious, but he still listened to Jian Huaizhen's words.

The two of them picked up a place to hide.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw that the woman was still sneaking out of the door, looking around for a while, and seeing that there was no one snooping on the road, she hurriedly walked towards the mountain with the food box on her shoulder.

"The eldest princess, that person has gone up the mountain." Tang asked Jian Huaizhen in shock.

"It seems that the situation is already very clear, Guan Zhengnan is very likely to hide in the mountains in order to avoid the harm of outsiders." Jian Huaizhen said to Tang in shock.

Tang was shocked and said: "What the eldest princess said is true, Guan Zhengnan may be hiding somewhere on the mountain, the eldest princess, if we don't follow immediately." ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "This woman is quite careful, and I am afraid that she will see through our intentions when we catch up now, so it is best to wait for a while before following up." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Tang Jingran nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's right, judging from the current situation, it's a good way not to startle the snake." ”

After waiting for a while, Jian Huaizhen saw that the time was almost up, and then said to Tang Jingran beside him: "Okay, follow it slowly, don't let people find out." ”

Hearing this, Tang nodded in surprise and was about to take action, but found that the figure on the mountain road flickered, and it seemed that someone had come down.

Jian Huaizhen stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Jingran, and the two stopped again.

After a sneak peek, I found that it was a person wearing a hat, who quickly came down from the mountain road, and it seemed that the farmer had returned from collecting medicine.

After this person passed, Jian Huaizhen and Tang Jingran followed him.

Both of them were martial arts practitioners, and their feet were extremely fast, and they soon chased the woman not far behind, and chased after the old man for a long time, only to see the woman walk into a cave.

Jian Huaizhen and Tang Jingran glanced at each other, and knew in their hearts that this cave was most likely the place where Guan Zhengnan was hiding.

The two chased after each other, and the cave seemed to be quite deep, and after walking for a long time, they heard some movement inside.

"Guan Zhengnan, how many good friends have you found in your mother over the years."

It was the woman who heard the voice.

I only heard a male voice in it: "Don't listen to those women's nonsense, you have to be the only one in my heart." ”

"Don't talk about it, why the eldest girl's family found the door is not a good thing you did."

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen and Tang couldn't help but smile at each other, it seems that Fang Cai's acting on the scene was not bad, and now he has overturned the vinegar jar.

"Okay, you've done a lot of writing outside, and you still don't admit it." The woman seemed to be angry.

"Not really, lady." The male voice continued.

Jian Huaizhen nodded at Tang Jingran and motioned to enter with her.

As soon as the two rushed in, the man lying on the hay mat seemed to be extremely surprised, and ran away.

However, this person had suffered a knife wound and had difficulty moving, so he was immediately subdued by Tang Jingran.

Jian Huaizhen nodded at Tang and asked, "Is this person Guan Zhengnan?" ”

Tang was shocked and said, "It is Guan Zhengnan, the disciple of the candle shadow shaking red." ”

This change made the woman extremely stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she went crazy and stepped forward to tear away Tang's shocked hand.

When Jian Huaizhen saw her like this, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he didn't want to hurt her, so he easily restrained the woman.

Then Jian Huaizhen glanced at Tang and said, "Ask him what the injuries on his body are all about, whether they are related to Lu Manxue." ”

Tang nodded in surprise, and then asked Guan Zhengnan: "How did you get hurt, what did Senior Sister Lu Manxue do with you disciples some time ago, why have you not come back at all." ”

Hearing Tang Zhenran's question, Guan Zhengnan just said without saying a word.

Seeing this situation, Jian Huaizhen knew in his heart that Guan Zhengnan was only afraid of having scruples, so he had a plan, so he caught Guan Zhengnan's wife, drew his sword and put it across her neck to pretend to threaten: "Guan Zhengnan, if you don't say it today, go to the Netherworld Mansion to find your wife." ”

Seeing this situation, Guan Zhengnan had to speak: "I said, I said, I said it's not okay, don't hurt my wife." ”

Tang was shocked and took advantage of the situation and said, "Then it's not too fast to recruit from the truth." ”

Guan Zhengnan's shrunken body said: "The reason for the matter is as the two of you said, it was Lu Man Xueli who lured us. ”

Tang was shocked and asked, "What did Lu Man Xueli tempt you to do?" ”

Guan Zhengnan said: "Lu Manxue said that if we do something with her, we will be able to take care of our food and clothing in the future, and we can lie down and enjoy happiness for the rest of our lives." As a result, we later found out that Senior Sister Lu Manxue wanted us to rob the Nine Dragons Xiangruiding that foreign envoys paid tribute to the imperial court, and when the matter reached that juncture, we also had to follow Senior Sister Lu Manxue, and defeated the imperial officers and soldiers guarding the court in the middle of the road, and robbed the Nine Dragons Xiangruiding. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said: "Slow, there is something wrong with this, with your martial arts, I am afraid that if it is not the opponent of those officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to protect the Nine Dragon Ding, how did you succeed, it is impossible to have the help of outsiders." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Guan Zhengnan said in great surprise: "That's right, Senior Sister Lu Manxue seems to have found another group of people, this group of people is much higher than our Candle Shadow Shake Red Fellow martial arts, all of them are ruthless, and they actually killed all the foreign envoys. ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen and Tang looked at each other in shock, and in their hearts, they understood that their previous guesses had verified a lot.

Jian Huaizhen asked, "What happened later?" ”

Guan Zhengnan said: "Later, Lu Manxue asked us to temporarily take refuge in a place to avoid the wind. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he asked, "Then how did you return to your hometown and hide in this cave?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Zhengnan gritted his teeth and said: "It's all Lu Manxue's mother-in-law, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been so seriously injured, I can't go back to my home, and I hid in Tibet to hide in this mountain." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart, so he asked, "What's going on, you tell me in detail." ”

"Lu Manxue used to often let people send us food to eat, but I was not allowed to wait in and out, and then one day after Lu Manxue came back, asked me to wait for a drink, that day I happened to have diarrhea, drank some wine and went out of the thatched house, just out of the thatched house, I heard the wailing during the banquet, I was shocked, quietly went over to take a look, only to see Lu Manxue with some masked people to the candle shadow red disciple to kill the disciples, I was shocked, hurriedly ran out. Someone soon found out later, Sister Lu Manxue led someone to chase over, I fought hard, still was cut by someone to break out of the encirclement, and ran to the mountain, but I was chased cornered, I had to jump off the cliff, fortunately was hung by the tree, so as not to die. ”＼

Tang was shocked and asked from the side, "What happened later?" ”

"It took a lot of effort for me to come down from the tree, and I knew in my heart that Lu Manxue was about to kill everything, and if she showed up, she would cause death. So I secretly ran back home and told my wife about it, and my wife placed me in this cave on the mountain and brought me food twice a day, for fear that Lu Manxue's men would come to the door. Guan Zhengnan spoke.

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen groaned slightly, weighed it in his heart, and felt that Guan Zhengnan was not lying, so he said: "It's not bad at all, this matter is like this, this time it is also fate, Lu Manxue already wants to kill people and kill people, and actually let you escape by luck." ”

When Guan Zhengnan heard this, he nodded and said, "That's exactly what happened. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said: "Since this is the case, then I won't embarrass you, if the government investigates this matter, you can come forward to correct Lu Manxue, and this princess can protect you from death." ”

Hearing that Jian Huaizhen had this promise, Guan Zhengnan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you to the eldest princess for making it complete." ”

Jian Huaizhen put down the sword in his hand and said to the woman, "Your husband is seriously injured and has not recovered, you can apply some golden medicine to him." ”

The woman was glad to hear this, and did as she was told.

But things suddenly changed, after Guan Zhengnan smeared the gold creation medicine, he was fine at first, but suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and he vomited blood and died after a spasm.

Jian Huaizhen was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward to check, and immediately discovered that the golden medicine was poisonous.

The woman's complexion also changed drastically, and she didn't expect such a thing to happen, and immediately began to cry.

Jian Huaizhen asked, "What's going on with this medicine?" ”

"This medicine was fine two days ago, and I have always used this recipe to fry it myself." The woman wept and spoke.

Hearing this woman's words, Jian Huaizhen thought for a moment, and then asked, "Does this medicine still pass through other hands?" ”

The woman stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "No way, I am the only one in the house." ”

Tang was shocked and suddenly interjected: "It looks like someone may have dropped the bag, or did something halfway." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he took a look at the porcelain bottle containing the medicine, and immediately found something unusual, and the mouth of the bottle was smeared with something.

Jian Huaizhen took out a silver needle and tried it, and it was immediately jet black.

"The mouth of the bottle is poisonous, it seems that someone has really tampered with it." Jian Huaizhen spoke.

The woman was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered something, so she replied: "I remembered an incident, I was just on the way up the mountain, and a person knocked over the food box, and the person put the food box for me, and then delivered it to me. ”

Tang asked in surprise, "Is that person carrying a hat?" ”

"Exactly."

Tang was shocked and said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, it was the person with the hat that I saw in the middle of the road that did his tricks. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "It seems that this is the case, that person deliberately knocked over your food box, and then smeared the poison on the mouth of the bottle. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, the woman's face changed greatly, and she threw herself on Guan Zhengnan's corpse and cried out, "Husband, I hurt you." I hurt you. ”

Under the urging of sorrow, Guan suddenly raised his head, slammed into the tip of Jian Huaizhen's sword, passed through, and then followed Guan Zhengnan with a whimper.

Jian Huaizhen and Tang were shocked by this drastic change, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the woman, who was already dead of anger and powerless to return to heaven.

"The eldest princess, it seems that the Guan family has a strong temperament and can't be saved." Tang looked at the woman's eyelids and said.

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he nodded and said: "It seems that Lu Manxue and Shi Heng are still one step faster, and the character who came down on the mountain road just now is afraid that it is the killer they discharged, and they want to take this opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and now it seems that they have succeeded." ”

There was a bit of remorse.

Hearing this, Tang was shocked and said: "The eldest princess, Fang is just careless, and there is no need to blame yourself too much, now you still have to think about how to act next." ”

Hearing Tang Zhen's words, Jian Huaizhen spoke: "That's not bad, Fang Cai is really careless, I didn't expect Shi Heng and Lu Manxue's hands to reach so far, they actually found this place before we waited, and set up such a poisonous plan, it is appalling, now Guan Zhengnan is dead, from what he said, it can be seen that the other disciples who are red in the candle shadow are afraid that they have already been killed, and those who can testify are only afraid that they are no longer in the world, and it is already futile to find someone to testify against Lu Manxue and Shi Heng." ”

Tang was shocked to hear Jian Huaizhen's words, and opened his mouth and said, "What the eldest princess said is extremely true. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly and said, "Since the clue has been broken, you and I will return to Beijing as soon as possible, stare at the movements of Shi Heng and Lu Manxue, and see what the intention of these two people is to be in cahoots?" ”

"The eldest princess is continuing to explore the Shi Mansion and find out the private affairs of Shi Heng and others." Tang opened his mouth and asked.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "That's right, after the two of us buried Guan Zhengnan and his wife first, we will immediately return to Beijing to start making arrangements." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Tang Jingran nodded and said, "It's okay, Jingran has no other opinions, and I will follow the orders of the eldest princess." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard her say this, he spoke: "Okay, without further ado, let's bury Guan Zhengnan and his wife first." ”

Tang was shocked to admit it, and the two of them immediately took action, lifted Guan Zhengnan and his wife out of the ground, dug a tomb, and immediately placed the bodies of Guan Zhengnan and his wife.

Then he dug up the earth and buried the two bodies, and piled up the earth.

After the incident, Jian Huaizhen walked to the grave of Guan Zhengnan and his wife, and said: "You two can rest in peace, and if you can find the enemy who killed you and others in the future, you will definitely come back to comfort your husband and wife." ”

Tang was shocked to hear Jian Huaizhen's words on the side, and his heart was a little strange, but he didn't say anything, just stayed aside.

After praying at the grave for a while, Jian Huaizhen said to Tang in shock: "Miss Tang, it seems that the matter here is over, you and I should set off quickly and return to Beijing." ”

Tang was shocked and said, "Okay, princess, everything is ordered." ”

The two went down the mountain and immediately rushed back to Jingshi.

Back in the capital, Jian Huaizhen took Tang Jingran to Huaiming Garden. By now, Tang was shocked to Jian Huaizhen, and he had no mustard.

At this time, Fang Xiao was also living in Huaiming Garden, and when he saw Jian Huaizhen coming, he was a little ecstatic for a while, but he suppressed the emotions in his heart and said lightly: "Why are you here?" ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled bitterly: "I went with Shocking Ran to investigate the case of Candle Shadow Shaking Red and being wronged. There were a few clues, but the result was still the first to be taken. Seeing that the seven-day deadline is approaching, if the truth of the matter cannot be found out, I am afraid that the lives of Lan Jing and the others will not be guaranteed. ”

While the two were talking, Jiang Shaoheng happened to come back. Lan Jing has had a crush on him for decades, lived in Huaiming Garden, and has always hoped to get his love. There is only Jian Huaizhen in his mind, and he has always had only brother and sister affection for Lan Jing. It's just twenty years of love, and it's still deep.

Jiang Shaoheng helped Jian Huaizhen to sit down on a chair, thought for a while, and said, "Princess, I will assist you in your investigation with Brother Fang in this matter, and you can always find out the clue." Although Lan Jing was impulsive, she was not confused. The disciple whose candle shadow is shaking red should not do anything to steal the national treasure. ”

Jian Huaizhen was used to Jiang Shaoheng calling her name, and the sound of "princess" made her heart stagnate. He immediately said, "Okay." This matter must be investigated. The deaths of Yu Qian and Qingqing have always haunted me. Mingfeng is also gone. My brother and sister-in-law don't know where they live in seclusion. There is no news of the cold. Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer people around her, and Lan Jing must not be allowed to have an accident again. “

Tang was shocked to see the elders talking, and he didn't interject all the time. Hearing Jian Huaizhen suddenly mention Shangguan Mingfeng, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she filed her silver teeth and said, "What the eldest princess said is extremely true!" We must not let the Lan Jing Palace Master have an accident, let alone let the candle shadow shake red and have an accident! ”
