There were more than 30 corpses lying in the courtyard, including men in black and Jin Wuwei sent by the emperor.

Hua Zhen looked at the corpses, deliberately rubbed some blood on the door, and then bypassed the corpses and asked Jiang Fu, "Where are the remaining three Jin Wuwei now?"

"It's supposed to be in the gatehouse of the outer courtyard. Jiang Fu replied respectfully.

I watched Hua Zhen walk past these individuals and walk directly towards the gatehouse.

The only three remaining Jin Wuwei are also more or less injured at the moment, and they are bandaging each other at the moment.

Seeing Hua Zhen and Jiang Fu coming in, he immediately bowed his head and knelt on the ground respectfully: "I've seen the county lord." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen swept over the three of them, and her voice was so cold that people couldn't hear the slightest emotion: "I don't know where a group of assassins came from today to assassinate the county lord, fortunately, there are several soldiers fighting each other, and the county lord can save his life, this is your credit, tomorrow I will give the emperor and the queen mother, and reward the three for their meritorious deeds." ”

Hearing this, the three people kneeling on the ground glanced at each other, and immediately understood what Hua Zhen meant, although this was to give credit to the three of them, but she was also warning the three of them that today was the assassin they desperately subdued each other, Xiao Huaijin and Beifeng did not appear.

The three of them can mix in Jin Wuwei, naturally they are not stupid people who understand immediately.

Don't mention anything else, but only three of them are left with their twenty brothers dead, and the maidservant girl next to the county lord has been fighting against the assassins from the beginning, killing several people and now they are still unharmed.

The county lord can have such a handmaid by his side, and it is not something that the three of them can offend.

Immediately glanced at each other, and seeing the look in each other's eyes, the three of them knelt on the ground respectfully: "Don't worry, the county lord understands!"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded, a pair of inky black eyes were bottomless, making it impossible to guess her thoughts.

"Now that there is such a big commotion, and there are so many corpses in the house, we can't wait here for others to come and find out tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, the one who seemed to be the most calm among the three immediately turned his expression: "Wait a minute, the county lord, my subordinates will go to find the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." ”

Hua Zhen shook her head: "No need, now the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is just coming over to dispose of the corpse." ”

"That..."

"The county lord's mansion is the closest to Jingzhao Mansion, the three of you escort me to Jingzhao Yin, so many people have died here, Jing Zhaoyin can't sleep in peace. Hua Zhen said, turning and walking out the door.

The three Jin Wuwei immediately understood, took their weapons, and followed.

Waiting out of the door of the county lord's mansion, Hua Zhen's calm and composure on her face suddenly retreated.

With a frightened look on their faces, the three Jin Wuwei looked at Hua Zhen's speed of changing faces, and they were even more sure in their hearts that if they said the wrong word about tonight's events, the Qinghe County Lord in front of them, who seemed to be powerless, would definitely make them die without a place to bury.

Thinking in his heart, there was a little more awe in his eyes.

Escorting Hua Zhen, he ran to Jingzhao Mansion.

Although it was getting late at this moment, there were still some people who were in a hurry on the road, and when they saw Hua Zhen's master and servant covered in blood, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to step forward.

Before he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, he saw a carriage coming from the other direction.

The three Jin Wuwei had just experienced a fight, and the whole person was nervous at the moment, looking at the carriage in the middle of the night, heading straight for them, they immediately glanced at each other, and stood guard with knives.

Hua Zhen was protected by them, and when they saw the north wind sitting in the carriage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The north wind drove the carriage to a stop five paces away from Hua Zhen, and then the curtain of the carriage was raised, and a smell of wine floated out from behind the carriage.

Xiao Huaijin had already changed into a jade-colored brocade dress at this moment, looked at Hua Zhen and the others, and immediately frowned slightly: "What's wrong with the county lord of Qinghe?"

Hearing this, looking at Xiao Huaijin and asking knowingly, Hua Zhen had no choice but to say: "I just encountered this moment in the mansion, and now I don't know what the situation is, and I am preparing to go to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin immediately frowned slightly: "The county lord also asks to get in the car, and Huaijin will send the county lord to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

After speaking, he got out of the car in person and let the north wind caress Hua Zhen into the car.

Sitting in the carriage, Hua Zhen looked at Xiao Huaijin: "Why are you here?"

"I don't worry about you alone, so I want to come and have a look. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen's brows furrowed even deeper, smelling the smell of wine in the car, it should have been deliberately poured by Xiao Huaijin, in order to hide the smell of blood on his body.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Huaijin's arm: "You still have injuries on your body." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Huaijin just smiled indifferently: "It's not in the way, compared to you, these are nothing." ”

Because of the carriage, they soon arrived at Jingzhao Mansion.

Jin Wuwei hurriedly stepped forward and vigorously knocked on the drum outside the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

After a while, someone rushed out, and when they saw that the soldiers of Jin Wuwei were standing outside, they did not dare to slack off.

Hurry up and invite Liu Wei out.

Liu Wei had just fallen asleep, and when she heard that Jin Wuwei's soldiers were outside the door, she couldn't help complaining in her heart, it was so late, what did you do.

When he saw that Hua Zhen's body was covered with bloodstains, and the three Jinwu guards were also injured, he was suddenly shocked: "The lower officials don't know that the county lord and Xiao Shizi are here, and they are not welcome, so they also ask the county lord and Xiao Shizi to forgive their sins." ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Liu Wei and wiped the tears in her eyes: "I also ask Lord Liu to take someone to the county lord's mansion, just now a group of black-clothed people rushed into the county lord's mansion, if it weren't for the three Jin Wuwei's soldiers desperately protecting me, I'm afraid that I would have lost my life at this moment." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to be frightened, and his voice trembled.

Liu Wei's heart jumped suddenly when she heard this.

The emperor gave the county lord's mansion, and this Qinghe county lord just moved over today, and such a thing happened.

And it is also in the place under his jurisdiction, if this matter is not done, I am afraid that I will be implicated.

Immediately, he didn't dare to slack off, and ordered someone to invite Hua Zhen and Xiao Huaijin into the side hall to bring tea.

He personally led people to the county lord's mansion.

At this moment, it was dark, and there had just been a fight in the county lord's mansion, and it was messy everywhere, and those maid women who had escaped the catastrophe were hiding in the house and did not dare to say anything.

When Liu Wei led people in, he saw that it was dark everywhere.

Someone lit the lamp, and then saw that there were more than forty corpses lying in the entire county lord's mansion.

There are Jin Wuwei's soldiers, and there are also subordinates from the county lord's mansion, and more of them are still wearing night clothes at this moment.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Liu Wei didn't dare to hold it up.

Hurriedly ordered someone to stay at the scene, and he went back and quickly ordered someone to report to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and even hurriedly wrote an excerpt and sent it to the palace overnight.

Such a thing appeared at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which suddenly made everyone's faces change.

Li Yu of the Criminal Department got the news, and immediately rushed to Jingzhao Mansion, seeing Hua Zhen and Xiao Huaijin, his face immediately changed, and asked Liu Wei to quickly send people to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, mobilize people to guard the city gates, and definitely not let the assassins escape from the capital at night.

Then he glanced at Xiao Huaijin, and his expression changed slightly.

Then he looked at Hua Zhen with respect on his face: "The county lord is frightened, but now this assassin doesn't know where he went, the county lord is afraid that he can't return to the county lord's mansion, according to the opinion of the lower officials, he also asked the county lord to stay in Jingzhao Mansion, let Lord Liu protect the safety of the county lord, I don't know what the county thinks." ”

Liu Wei stood aside and listened to what Li Yu said, and immediately said in a loud voice: "What Lord Liu said is that he also asked the county lord to rest in the Jingzhao Mansion first, and the lower officials will go to ask the doctor to deal with the injuries of the county lord and these people." ”

Hua Zhen understood what Li Yu meant, and immediately nodded: "Since this is the case, then bother Lord Liu and Li Shangshu." ”

"The county lord is polite. Liu Wei responded when he heard this, and then instructed the yacha beside him: "Go and let the lady come over quickly and take the county lord to the back hall to rest first, and let people go and invite the doctor to come over, go quickly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could answer, he heard someone running in from outside the door.

"Qi two adults, someone saw a group of people in black fleeing into King Qi's mansion. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu and Liu Wei suddenly changed their faces, glanced at each other, and then looked at the yacha who came in to report: "Are you sure that the Qi Wangfu is not mistaken?"

"It should be right that my subordinates saw blood stains on the ground outside King Qi's mansion, even on the courtyard wall. Hearing this, Yacha knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Suddenly, Liu Wei's face was a little more difficult.

Although the attack on the county lord's mansion is a major event, King Qi is the hottest prince at the moment, and he is protected by the imperial concubine, not because he is offended by a Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

Immediately, he looked at Li Yu with a very ugly face: "Lord Shangshu, what should you do about this matter?"

Li Yu understood Liu Wei's thoughts, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, but his eyes were a little more determined: "Since someone has seen it with their own eyes, there are blood stains on the courtyard wall and the ground of this Qi Wangfu, so I can't let it go." If these gangsters jump over the wall in a hurry and attack King Qi, this is an assassination of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and when something happens, you and I can't afford it. ”

"What Lord Shangshu said is that Xiaguan will take people there. Liu Wei said that he was going to take people to King Qi's mansion.

Li Yu glanced at Xiao Huaijin, looked at his eyes and nodded immediately, and then shouted at Liu Wei: "Lord Liu, slow down." ”

"What else does Lord Shangshu command?"

"I'm going with you. ”

Liu Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, after all, this Li Yu was a secretary of the Criminal Department, and he was higher and more powerful than himself.

I don't dare to offend King Qi, but with Li Yu here, it's different, with him taking the lead, even if he causes any trouble, the emperor will blame him, and he will ask Li Yu first.

He immediately bowed down and said, "Lord Shangshu, please first." ”

said that he instructed his subordinates to take care of Hua Zhen, and followed Li Yu to lead people away.

For a while, only Hua Zhen and Xiao Huaijin were left in the side hall, the subordinates of Jingzhao Mansion, who went to the backyard to invite Mrs. Liu.

Xiao Huaijin saw that there were no more people in the room, and couldn't help but turn his face sideways and ask with a smile: "Aren't you curious why these people went to King Qi's Mansion?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Huaijin's smile, she was very puzzled.

A thought crossed her mind, and Hua Zhen immediately looked at Xiao Huaijin: "You deliberately forced them into King Qi's mansion?"

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin nodded, if the opportunity in front of him was not well used, wouldn't it be a pity!

Hearing this, Hua Zhen shook her head: "Actually, even if you don't do this, Zhao Ting won't want to escape this time." ”

Looking at the coldness in Hua Zhen's eyes, the smile on Xiao Huaijin's face paused, and his heart sank slightly, and then looked at Hua Zhen, and even his voice was a little cold: "These people were sent by him?"

Then I saw Hua Zhen nodding.

"Do you remember the man whose arm you cut off?"

Xiao Huaijin didn't speak, but the coldness in his eyes was even worse.
