Chapter 249: The Next Decision
"Let you dispose of it." Lou Mingcan's head was sold, and his nailed appearance really made Li Ke a little uncertain.
He propped his head with one hand and waited quietly for Nanchen to return.
However, in just two quarters of an hour, Nanchen really came back in the carriage of Yunmeng Qianzhuang, and there was another pure gold token in his hand.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Yunmeng Qianzhuang really recognizes this jade pendant!" Nanchen looked excited, that was ten million taels!
As soon as he entered Yunmeng Qianzhuang and took out the jade pendant, he was treated warmly, saying that Lou Mingcan had already greeted him in advance, and the people inside had also shown him the deed, which was indeed a full ten million taels, not much for one point, not a lot for one point.
Nanchen told Li Ke about these one by one, and Li Ke rubbed the pure gold token in his hand and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao: "This, you send someone to keep it properly." ”
With 10 million taels of silver as compensation, Li Ke's attitude softened a little.
He waved his hand, and only Nanchen, Su Xiaoxiao and Lou Mingcan were left in the entire main hall.
"What do you want, just say it." Li Ke raised his eyebrows.
"His Royal Highness is a smart man, so I won't go around in circles."
Inside the Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Jie left the house for about an hour, but he did not hear the news of his return.
Lin Xing felt a little uneasy in her heart, and couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.
In just a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yan had already heard three sighs.
He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Lin Xing: "What's wrong?" ”
"The county lord of Qinghe said that he saw the red clothes, Jia Fa speculated that it was a disguise technique, Zhao Jie went to chase her, and wanted to inform her about it, but he hasn't come back yet." Lin Xing pinched her eyebrows, "I asked Chunxiao to follow behind him, but now neither of them has returned home." ”
"Chunxiao's martial arts are good, Zhao Jie's understanding is very high, if it starts, one fight and two will not necessarily suffer." Zhou Yan comforted, "Chunxiao is the person who came out of my subordinates, and all the people under my command will send a signal when they encounter danger, have you seen the sky ringing?" ”
Lin Xing shook her head, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard some movement behind her.
It's Chunxiao who is back.
Lin Xing stepped forward: "But Zhao Jie is back, has he found the county lord of Qinghe?" ”
Chunxiao shook his head with a solemn face: "Madam, the carriage of the county lord of Qinghe has overturned on its side, his whereabouts are unknown, and the son has been regarded as an assassin and has been sent to prison." ”
The corners of Lin Xing's mouth twitched, and then she looked at Zhou Yan on the side, which was also unexpected.
"What kind of evidence can prove that Zhao Jie killed the county lord of Qinghe, so he was arrested?" Lin Xing bit her lower lip and frowned with a bit of anger, "Who arrested Zhao Jie?" ”
"Yes...... Deputy envoy of Dali Temple, Nian Ruipeng. ”
Nian Ruipeng captured Zhao Jie?
How is this possible?
Lin Xing put out the fire in an instant, and she looked at Zhou Yan: "Nian Ruipeng must not have harmed Zhao Jie, he arrested Zhao Jie at this moment, could it be that he wanted to remind us of something?" ”
"It's hard to say, it's better to ask him directly." Zhou Yan raised his chin, "Chunxiao, go find out about this." ”
"Yes."
Chunxiao withdrew from the courtyard.
Lin Xing twisted her eyebrows, and just wanted to calm down and think about this matter clearly, she saw Zhou Yan raise her hand and stand up on the soft couch.
Seeing this, Lin Xing hurriedly went to help him, and before Lin Xing could wring his eyebrows and speak, he heard Zhou Yan say: "Now is not the time to be injured." ”
Zhou Yan's voice revealed a strong sense of exhaustion, and he pinched his eyebrows: "There is no one we can trust, and the current situation is very passive, we must hold the control in our hands." ”
If there was no Fan Yuntai to help, Lin Xing only needed to take out a few poisons to be able to disintegrate Li Ke and the others.
Lin Xing asked, "Do you have a way to support Fan Yuntai?" ”
Zhou Yan frowned, and before he could speak, Jia Fa suddenly broke in from outside: "I have a way." ”
He first saluted, and then said: "I roughly touched the details of Fan Yuntai, Fan Yuntai not only has feelings for Lou Mingcan, but also hopes that Lou Mingcan will ascend to the throne, she is gambling." ”
"Didn't Wen Renbai work with us? We directly helped the prince of Yue to settle down, and the two of them would be too busy to take care of themselves, how could they help Li Ke? ”
Jia Fa said: "His Royal Highness the Prince encountered an assassin in his house, was seriously injured, and needed a month to recuperate, and he closed the door within a month, and did not see any visitors, Mrs. Lin purchased goods, expanded the supply of goods, and the return date was undecided, and the blooming Fanghua and Taolin Red Sleeves were managed by the housekeeper Jia Fa, and the son was imprisoned, only to be released from prison after interrogation. ”
Jia Fa had already found an excuse for the two of them to disappear, and a hint of surprise appeared in Lin Xingmei's eyes: "You arranged for Nian Ruipeng to take Zhao Jie away?" ”
"Madam, this is the next step, the whereabouts of the county lord of Qinghe are unknown, I speculate that the county lord of Qinghe is a trap hooked by Wu Rentu, the county lord of Qinghe is the emperor's heart, if there is something wrong with the county lord of Qinghe, the emperor must be more nervous than us, the prince was wrongfully imprisoned, I have arranged for people to make a big battle, so that they can relax their vigilance, so that their attention can be all focused on wooing Nian Ruipeng and greeting His Majesty."
Jia's statement is reasonable, Lin Xing pursed her lips, now this is indeed the only feasible way.
"In that case, these two shops will be handed over to you." Zhou Yan patted Jia Fa on the shoulder, "Right now, Lin Xing and I don't have any combat effectiveness, and the people around me don't dare to believe it rashly, what can you do to protect the two of us?" ”
Jia Fa was prepared, he whistled, and four figures flashed in front of the three of them.
"When I was once a general judge in Cangzhou, I came into contact with a killer tribe, and the people in it only recognized money and not people, once the deed was made, there would be no two hearts, and the four of them were people from the east of the killer tribe." Jia Fa introduced them one by one.
"They are Shadow, Mirror, Yao, and Lan."
The four of them had serious faces, dressed in smart night clothes, and respectfully luggage: "See the master." ”
"Madam, Your Highness, I have secretly contacted Wen Renbai, his caravan is out of the city on the eve of the fall of the city gate today, and there is no delay at this moment, please come with me." Jia Fa said to the two.
Zhou Yan walked a few steps, but suddenly stood still, and put the saber at his waist on Jia Fa's neck.
"Just one question, why are you helping us so much today?" Zhou Yan said coldly, "Jia Fa, you and Lin Xing are just the grace of Cangzhou, how can I trust you?" ”
"The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring." Jia Fa's expression did not change, "What's more, Mrs. Lin didn't just give me a dripping grace that day, to put it offensively, Madame treats me like a family member, and Gongzi is more like my nephew, and what I got in Zhao Mansion is far from what I have never had as a general judge." ”
"What's more." Jia Fa stared at Lin Xing's eyes, "Mrs. Lin is for the country and the people, and this is also something I admire." ”
