Chapter 31: Where Did the Assassins Go?
Lin Bangtang's voice lagged behind, and there was a brief silence in this room, and the air pressure was extremely low, which made many people unable to stop breaking out in a cold sweat.
And Xiao Shenze stared at the woman in front of him coldly, and there was an unspeakable anger in his heart.
Who is the prime minister, he, the emperor, still knows something.
The Lin Bangtang in front of him really thinks that he is a faint gentleman, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, and can only listen to one side of the story?
Why is it not enough to do it once and do it again?
He investigated, before the Su Yalan incident, Lin Bangtang had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The reason why he felt that Lin Bangtang had a problem was because of Lin Bangtang's rescue of Princess He'an before.
If this is a coincidence, then what about Xiao Yunzhan Lanyuelou saving Lin Wantang?
There are many coincidences in this world, but they can't be coincidences......
"Your Majesty atons for your sins, the concubine is stupid, I can only think of this......"
Lin Wangtang, who felt Xiao Shenze's anger, raised his head, and a pair of extremely beautiful eyes overflowed with uneasiness, which was extremely unbearable, and even had the urge to embrace and love in his arms.
She knows Xiao Shenze, so it's definitely the stupidest thing to do!
Xiao Shenze's eyes touched the centipede-like scar on her face, and her heart was full of anger as if cold water had been poured on her.
In any case, even if Lin Wantang is suspicious, he believes that there is no woman in this world who is willing to sacrifice her appearance to frame others.
Especially, the women in this harem.
Since he was a child, he has seen too many women who are lustful and relaxed, and he has seen too many women who do crazy things to maintain their appearance.
Appearance is something more important than life for a harem woman.
This truth has been ingrained in Xiao Shenze since he was a child, and it cannot be shaken.
"Is there really no cure for your face?"
Xiao Shenze stared at the scar on Lin Wangtang's face and spoke, and his tone was regret that he had never noticed.
"The emperor forgives the sin! Assassin...... Missing! ”
At this moment, the searching guards went and returned, and the leader Xu Ran knelt on the ground with a nervous expression.
They had just looked for a big road and three small roads outside Qinmei Courtyard, but they chased them all the way, but they didn't see any suspicious people at all.
If they hadn't seen people break out of the window with their own eyes, they would have thought that Little Master Lin was bluffing.
"Rubbish! One or two in and out of my harem is like no one's land, maybe you are tired of doing it, I can change someone else, and some people are staring at your position! ”
Xiao Shenze, who is usually cold-faced, rarely gets so angry, but now looking at the group of wastes kneeling in front of him, the anger that has just disappeared is rising.
"Search for me again, if you can't find you, don't do it!"
After a scolding, the leading guard who was named hurriedly stood up, picked up the knife and was about to leave with the people.
"Wait, can the emperor allow the concubine to ask a few words?"
Just as the guards were about to step out of the door, Lin Wantang glanced at the palace maid standing in the courtyard, and a dangerous thought emerged.
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask!"
Seeing that Lin Wangtang's expression was a little wrong, Xiao Shenze's eyes narrowed, and his tone softened unconsciously.
"Excuse me, when you chase you out, can you see the assassin?"
Lin Wantang deliberately distanced himself from the palace maid on the field, and walked to the leading guard Xu Ran to ask.
Xu Ran is only in his early twenties, but the whole person is rare to show a calm and sophisticated atmosphere.
However, because Xiao Shenze was named and reprimanded just now, anxiety occasionally flashed in his eyes, and the anxiety became even more obvious after being stopped by Lin Wangtang!
"Back to the little master, the assassin just jumped out of the window and disappeared, and every road was carefully searched, but no suspicious person was found."
Lin Wantang asked under Xiao Shenze's acquiescence, and Xu Ran didn't dare to take it big, so he hurriedly lowered his head and clenched his fists and spoke respectfully.
"Is the search careful, can a big living person really disappear so quickly?
The time she jumped out of the window and the time you chased it out happened almost at the same time, and no matter how high the light skill was, it was impossible not to have a trace at all. ”
Lin Wantang deliberately raised his voice, and after saying this, a pair of eyes swept over the faces of several palace girls present.
And her words and actions made Xiao Shenze, who was standing on the side, seem to guess something, and thoughtfully followed the group of palace maids who had been standing on the side with their heads down.
"Back to the little master, there is really no trace at all, this assassin seems to have disappeared out of thin air, this matter is very strange!"
When Xu Ran heard her questioning, he thought it was questioning their ability to do things, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and spoke respectfully again.
The yellow-haired girl in front of her is only about fifteen, what can she understand, but she relies on the emperor's preference, and she is just a fox and a fake tiger here, and only she knows how carefully they search.
"Who is the steward of this Qinmei Courtyard?"
At this moment, Xiao Shenze's voice sounded again.
After Lin Wantang heard his voice, his eyes flashed.
Xiao Shenze has always been cautious and smart, which is why she has been slow to start.
Like now, she had only said a few words, and he had guessed without even specifying anything.
If you want to drive a sober male lion out of the grassland, the strong will choose to go it alone, and the weak like her can only choose to form an alliance.
And she couldn't tell what her chosen ally was, and now how could she risk her life and step forward alone.
"See the emperor, the emperor is ......"
"Excuse me, what's your name!"
Mama Zhou, who had been in the dark, saw that the emperor had opened his mouth, so she stepped forward in a little panic, and before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Shenze impatiently.
"Slave Zhou Mei!"
Seeing Xiao Shenze's impatient face, Mama Zhou hurriedly knelt down and reported her name.
Zhou Mei!!
Lin Wantang was obviously shocked when she heard this name, thinking of the events of her previous life, she carefully looked at Mama Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, but she couldn't help but question it in her heart.
is so timid and cautious, is it really Zhou Mei who was famous in the harem in the previous life?
"Mama Zhou, look at these palace maids, they have fresh faces!"
Xiao Shenze interrupted Lin Wangtang's thoughts, raised his hand and only pointed to the palace maid who had been standing without speaking, and had no sense of existence.
"Quick, fence this Qinmei Courtyard, don't let a single mouse run away!"
The leading guards reacted very quickly, and when Xiao Shenze's words just fell, they guessed something, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to order.
When Xiao Shenze heard this, he just glanced at the guard casually, and then turned his head to look at Mama Zhou again.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Mama Zhou hurriedly bowed her head to accept the order, and then stood up and walked towards the palace maids.
"All heads up!"
As Mama Zhou's words fell, the palace maids who had been keeping their heads down raised their heads one by one, and under the light of the lantern, their immature faces showed cramped and uneasy.
"If you go back to the emperor, there is no face!"
After reading them one by one, Mama Zhou hurriedly turned her head and said respectfully.
Lin Wantang and Xiao Shenze narrowed their eyes at the same time when they heard this.
