"Miss, I think they are all so fierce! Why don't we go back! ”

Sitting in the foyer, Qin Li's maidservant looked at the people of the Jiang'an Hou Mansion in fear, and whispered to Qin Li.

Qin Li sat calmly in his chair, ignoring the obviously unkind eyes around him, quietly waiting for a response from the Hou Mansion.

A woman wearing a long skirt with a cold and gaunt expression walked over with dignified steps, hesitated, and bowed to Qin Li in a proper manner, "Miss Qin, at this time, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to come to the Hou Mansion, right?" ”

Qin Li also got up and saluted back, "Presumably you are Miss Feng, right?" ”

Feng Xiuyun said lightly: "I didn't expect Miss Qin to know about it. ”

Qin Li said sincerely: "Miss Feng, no matter who the murderer behind this matter is, I have always admired Xia Gongzi as a person, and the cooperation with him is also very pleasant, so it is reasonable for me to come to visit." ”

As the daughter of the Qin family, Qin Li's posture is so modest, Feng Xiuyun naturally doesn't want to say anything more, her face is slightly softened, "The son is still resting and hasn't woken up, if Miss Qin has anything to say, I can convey it on my behalf." ”

The meaning of the refusal was already very clear, Qin Li had no choice, he was not angry, but looked at Feng Xiuyun's eyes, and said seriously: "Although my eldest brother is arrogant, although his eyes are above the top, although he is a little ambitious and talented, he is not such a ruthless and cruel person, and he will never do such a thing." ”

Feng Xiuyun sighed, nodded and said, "I will convey it to Gongzi." ”

In the evening, Xia Jingyun slowly opened his eyes on the bed, a strong smell of medicine came from his nose, and when he moved subconsciously, a sharp pain occurred in his right chest.

After confirming that it was in his room, he lay on the bed and did not move again, letting his consciousness slowly return, slowly wiping the fog of memory and sorting out the mystery in it.

Is it Qin Yuwen?

The biggest possibility is that he is, but because of this, it is likely not to be him.

So who is it? Do you want to do something through his fight with the Qin family?

Is this arrow a sword to kill or to add fuel to the fire?

Does the other party really want to put himself to death?

He closed his eyes slightly, quietly reviewing everything in his mind since he entered Nakyo.

About half an hour later, Feng Xiuyun walked in with a tray.

Xia Jingyun heard the movement, opened his eyes, Feng Xiuyun walked quickly to the bedside with a surprised face, "You're awake!" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "What time is it?" ”

"It's the end of the unitary time."

Feng Xiuyun walked over and put down the tray, first helped Xia Jingyun to sit up, and then picked up the medicine bowl inside, "Come, it's time to drink the medicine." ”

Xia Jingyun couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and stretched out his left hand forcibly, "I'll come by myself." ”

"Except for what to see with me, I'll feed you."

"It's okay, I'll do it myself."

Xia Jingyun took the bowl, drank it all, handed the medicine bowl back to her, and then with a little reassuring thought, reached out and stroked her beautiful face, "My habit, I don't like others to feed me when I drink medicine, don't mind." ”

Feng Xiuyun's cheeks were slightly red, "Are you so careful with me?" ”

"Are you atmospheric? So come and kiss one? ”

"Virtue!" Feng Xiuyun snorted, and then suddenly leaned over, and the red lips were a little on his lips.

Xia Jingyun subconsciously stretched out his hand to wrap it around, Feng Xiuyun had already gotten up, "Look at your injury, reward you, don't think so much!" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Go and help me invite Mr. Su, Mr. Gongsun, and Brother Chen over." ”

He thought for a moment, "Bai Gongzi should also be called!" ”

Feng Xiuyun was a little worried, "Do you want to rest for a while?" ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "It's almost, it's okay." ”

Soon, Feng Xiuyun went and returned, in addition to bringing back Su Yuanshang and others, he also brought a tray with a bowl of porridge and a few dishes on it.

Xia Jingyun was indeed a little hungry, and while taking a small bite of the porridge that Feng Xiuyun fed him, he said with a smile: "I'm really a little hungry, let you laugh." ”

Everyone was naturally polite, and Xia Jingyun said directly: "What is worth saying from yesterday to today?" ”

Everyone told everything they knew, but in the end, they all looked at Feng Xiuyun.

Feng Xiuyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Qin came in the afternoon, and you were still asleep at that time, so you didn't let her in." ”

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows and said, "What did she say?" ”

She said that it was not her brother's doing, and that her brother, though he was arrogant and ambitious, would not do such a vicious and cruel thing. Hum! But the question is, who else but him? The Shi family has fallen, and we have no other enemies in the capital! ”

Feng Xiuyun said quite angrily, but she didn't expect Xia Jingyun's next sentence to make her and the rest of the people present stunned.

"I believe what she said, there should be someone else who killed him."

Xia Jingyun looked at everyone's stunned looks, and explained: "First of all, think about it, if Qian Gongzi wants to make a move, it is unwise to choose this time, either he is stupid enough to think that he will kill whoever he wants, or he is completely carried away by anger and just ignores it. ”

Gongsun Jing said: "The second one may be completely reasonable, the rumors were rampant two days ago, and Mr. Qian became angry because of this, there is nothing wrong with this!" ”

Su Yuanshang said softly: "Childe's meaning should be that this is too coincidental. ”

"Yes!" Xia Jingyun nodded slightly, "It's just too coincidental, it's as if someone deliberately arranged it for you." The rumor itself was very strange, and then I was assassinated, as if it was deliberately concocted to frame this assassination to the Qin family. ”

Bai Yunbian spoke: "You mean that there are still people hiding behind their backs to calculate?" Just like when he was in the Su family? ”

"That's how I feel." Xia Jingyun nodded, "Since I entered Beijing, I have vaguely felt this way, but there has been no evidence, and many big forces are competing, many things are originally man-made, but this time, it has threatened my life, and I have to be cautious." ”

He looked at everyone, "Just now, I reviewed many things after entering Beijing, and I really found a few possible breakthroughs." You go check it out for me. ”

"The first one, Shi Zijun, the son of Shi Dingzhong, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, has a personal entourage, the one who injured Brother Lexian's guard at the Chunfeng Station, and it was also the initial fuse for our friendship with the Shi family, to find out his whereabouts."

Bai Yunbian naturally remembered that person, and frowned: "If it was really instructed by someone to provoke our fight, how could people say such a big thing?" Are we going to use lynching? ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "The actions of the person behind the scenes are extremely secretive, if that person is really his shadow, that person should be dead at this moment." ”

Bai Yunbian's eyes widened suddenly, feeling that his values had been strongly impacted.

Xia Jingyun continued: "The second thing is to find out who is behind the Fenghe Pavilion, whose power it is, and whether there is any possibility of touching the melon." ”

He squinted slightly, "I was always emotional at the beginning, but it was just a coincidence of fate, and I didn't notice the problem, but now I look at it, it's too much of a coincidence." ”

Su Yuanshang frowned and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Listening to what you say, there are indeed artificial possibilities and traces in this. But what is his purpose? ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "I don't know yet, I can only judge it if I pull out all the clues." ”

He looked at Gongsun Jing, "We can't investigate this matter, let alone let people know that we are investigating." Let Lu Yi go, and go quietly through the road of the market. Don't startle the snake! ”

Gongsun Jing hurriedly got up and said solemnly: "Okay! ”

"Okay, you don't have to worry about other things, you can be busy as much as you want, don't mess up the order, I'm just a little flesh wound, and I'll just raise it for a while."

Everyone got up and walked outside, Su Yuanshang suddenly turned around and said, "If these two questions are confirmed, we just know that someone is acting in it, and we can't find who it is, so what?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled reluctantly, "When the time comes, I will have my own way." ”

Watching everyone leave, Xia Jingyun looked at Feng Xiuyun, "The pillow is too hard, it's uncomfortable to lean on." ”

Feng Xiuyun stretched out his hand and pressed it, "It's not hard, I'll let someone change it." ”

Xia Jingyun said: "All pillows are hard, only the chest is soft." ”

"You"

Feng Xiuyun subconsciously wanted to punch him, but he looked at the pale and weak face, and felt pity in his heart.

A moment later, Xia Jingyun pillowed her soft legs and fell asleep again.

Two days have passed, and the Criminal Department and Hei Bingtai have investigated the case together with the Jingzhao Mansion, and they have indeed sorted out some clues, but these evidences really can't point to the Qin family.

The arrow is the thing of the North Beam, and in a short time, it cannot be traced through the arrow;

There were shops on both sides of the street, and according to the situation at the scene, the master of the criminal name found the second floor of two shops where the assassins had set up ambushes.

But one of the shops was an inn, and the tenant on the second floor was registered with the name of a household official who lived on the outskirts of the city, but when the criminal department and the black ice platform went to check, the person had been dead for several years.

The other shop belonged to an ordinary merchant in the city, and the whole family was stunned at that time, and they were caught on the black ice platform and tortured.

As for other broken houses and house searches, chickens and dogs jumping, those are all needless to say.

Seeing that the case had been fruitless for a long time, Emperor Long Yan of Chongning was furious, and called the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the head of the Black Ice Platform into the palace and reprimanded him sharply.

Walking out of the palace gate, Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the black clothes in front of him, "Lord Xuanhu, according to the opinion of this official, it is better to take a risky move." ”

The so-called dangerous trick is to directly arrest the biggest suspect and torture him.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but in the face of several generations of descendants, the Qin family, who is rich in the world, even if the criminal department is still the first and the first of the Black Ice Terrace, they do not dare to directly attack the eldest son of the family without evidence.

Xuanhu was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty has given a three-day deadline, and after two days, if you still don't get anything, you can only do that." ”

"It's not easy for the criminal department to do it, how about this matter being presided over by the Black Ice Terrace?"

Xuanhu glanced at this Shangshu Lord, with sarcasm and mockery in his eyes, "Okay." ”

The two big men went back separately, and they were also ruthless, and when they called their subordinates, they scolded them even harder!

Then the scolding went down layer by layer, and in the end, the people at the bottom had to be scolded so much that their brains were buzzing and they continued to work hard.

There was no breakthrough on their side, but there was already news about Xia Jingyun's arrangement.

Su Yuanshang and Gongsun Jing sat beside the bed with solemn expressions, and Su Yuanshang spoke: "Lu Yi replied, that person's name is Yang San, at that time, after the conflict, he also broke his finger to apologize for humiliating his master, which made Shi Zijun very moved, and vowed to avenge him to find Gongzi You, but just half a month after that incident, he fell into the moat and drowned after drinking, and Jingzhao Mansion only closed the case with an accidental overboard. ”

Xia Jingyun frowned, "When was it?" ”

Su Yuanshang recalled, "It was the second day after Gongzi exposed the Shi family's conspiracy in the Guangling Hall and discredited Shi Shangshu's nephew. ”

Xia Jingyun felt his heart beating, and a cold sweat suddenly oozed from his back.

Gongsun Jing continued: "On the side of the Fenghe Pavilion, nothing has been found, the owner is a businessman from other places, and his roots are innocent, but although this Qinglou is not big, and there is no one behind the scenes, but the business has always been acceptable, and at the same time, it has been standing in Zhongjing City for some years." ”

"That's not right!" Xia Jingyun twisted his eyebrows and thought slowly, "Fenghe Pavilion, Ningbing, Surabaya Prefecture"

A flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he subconsciously sat up suddenly, pulling the wound, and grinning in pain.

Su Yuanshang and Gongsun Jing hurriedly got up with concern, Xia Jingyun waved his hand, "It's almost scabbed, it's not in the way." ”

He leaned back on the head of the bed and said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, there were many people in the Qinglou in the capital who sent girls to follow their sisters to the province, but the most generous was this Fenghe Pavilion, which sent them to almost the top Oiran Ning Bing Girl, so it also became the most longing person in Jiang'an City at that time. The rebellion in Surabaya Prefecture has basically been concluded now, and someone is manipulating it behind the scenes. ”

"If the owner of the Fenghe Pavilion is obedient to the original person, and the original person is the current person, then everything makes sense, so he sent a person like Ning Bing to Surabaya Prefecture, so he was able to create the conflict between Qian Gongzi and Ning Bing so accurately, and Feng Heguan also happened to not implement effective prevention at that time, so that Ning Bing was cornered, so he had to jump off the building and commit suicide, thus contributing to the conflict between me and Qian Gongzi."

He said to Gongsun respectfully: "You immediately go to the Black Ice Terrace, find Lord Xuanhu, and ask him to arrest the owner of the Fenghe Pavilion and interrogate him carefully, you should be able to catch the clues of the other party!" ”

Gongsun Jing took the order and left, but after more than an hour, he turned back again.

"How?"

Gongsun Jing sighed, "After listening to Gongzi's words, although Xuanhu Shouzao was a little unconvinced, he still did it. But when he ordered someone to rush to Fenghe Pavilion to raise people, the proprietor seemed to already know something, so he directly bit the poison pill hidden in his mouth in advance and committed suicide directly. ”

Su Yuanshang was a little frightened when he heard this, and he only felt that a treacherous atmosphere lingered around him in an instant, and the bright spring light dimmed a little at this moment.

Xia Jingyun was amazed, "There are so many dead soldiers serving him, how charming this person should be!" ”

Gongsun Jing was a little frustrated, "We finally found such a clue, but we didn't expect it to be broken like this all of a sudden, how good is this!" ”

"It's okay!" Xia Jingyun was not depressed, "This shows that our direction is right, and there is really someone else behind this." ”

He pondered and said to himself, "If I am the other party, what is my purpose?" In this situation, where do I move next? What can I do with it? ”

He remembered the words of the old owner of the white-clothed villa, cut off the ideas formed by these clues, pulled himself out of the game, and tried to review the whole incident from the perspective of an outsider.

Suddenly, his expression froze, and he spoke: "Mr. Gongsun, please go to Mingyu Mansion immediately and go to Mingyu Mansion to help me invite Miss Qin over." ”

Gongsun Jing: ???

The confused and suspicious gaze seemed to say: You are like this, what do you still think about? Is it true that Miss Feng doesn't exist?

Xia Jingyun didn't explain too much, just signaled him to go.

"Miss! What are we doing here? We are not his maids, if we don't want to see it, we won't see it, and if we want to see it, we will send someone to inform us, what do we do? ”

Sitting in the carriage, Qin Li's maidservant looked angry, angry that she had not seen her before, and unhappy that she had sent someone to summon her at this moment.

With the status of the Qin family in Great Xia, with the status of the young lady in the Qin family, and with his own status in front of the young lady, when did he suffer this anger!

Qin Li only glanced at her calmly, "What you say, if he has nothing else to do today, it's okay to talk about it after he is purely entertaining us, and now he doesn't even know what he is looking for us, so he rashly makes such a conclusion, is this the way of life?" What's more, being generous and generous, is it really that important to have a little face? ”

The maid didn't dare to say more, the carriage slowly stopped, Qin Li walked in accompanied by Gongsun Jing, and saw Xia Jingyun in the study.

Smelling the faint smell of medicine in the air, looking at Xia Jingyun's pale and weak complexion, and his still gentle and clear clean smile, Qin Li's eyes also softened, "Young Master Xia, your injuries have not healed, you should be in bed to recuperate, you don't have to be like this." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Two days ago, I learned that Miss Qin came, and there were many people in the house who were not good, so I apologize to you below, because it is inconvenient to travel, so I have to invite the girl to the house, I hope don't blame." ”

The maidservant girl on the side bowed her head silently.

Qin Li opened his mouth and said: "Young Master Xia is polite, in such a situation, the mood of the Hou Mansion is naturally understood, and she will not be angry because of this." ”

Xia Jingyun got up slowly, "The spring light is just right, sitting in the room, it's better to take a walk in the house." ”

Qin Li only thought that Xia Jingyun took care of her reputation and didn't want to be in the same room with her lonely men and widows, which made her tongue-inducing, so she also nodded and agreed.

The two walked side by side, walking in the Hou Mansion, the maid followed behind them from a distance, looked up, and saw the green shirts, green clothes, and skirts in front of them swaying lightly in the spring breeze, but they were also like a pair of beautiful people.

Xia Jingyun said softly: "Miss Qin, what you said that day they have already relayed to me, in fact, I also believe that this matter was not done by Mr. Qian. ”

Qin Li's beautiful eyes lit up, "Young Master Xia thinks the same way?" ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, "Not to mention that if he wants to make a move, he shouldn't choose this time, just say that his own character, the two confrontations, are actually a little lustful, not the kind of ruthless person, it may be a little disrespectful to him to say this, but this does make me think that the murderer will not be him." ”

Qin Li also breathed a sigh of relief, and was slightly blessed, "Thank you, Young Master Xia." ”

"But this matter is no longer something I can decide with one sentence, it depends on the investigation of the Criminal Department and the Black Ice Terrace. As for the real murderer"

Xia Jingyun paused, and was about to speak, when suddenly the soles of his feet went soft, and he fell to the ground, and his hand subconsciously grabbed Qin Li's palm.

Qin Li was dragged and almost fell on Xia Jingyun's body.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

The servant girl hurriedly ran over, Qin Li squatted over, wanting to withdraw his palm, but found that Xia Jingyun held a lot of power, and he couldn't break free at all.

was about to exert himself, but looking at Xia Jingyun's closed eyes, his painful frowning, and his pale and weak look, his heart was soft again, "Xu is body is too weak, and he is too worried, he fainted, you go and ask the guards of the Hou Mansion to come over." ”

The maid ran away, Qin Li just looked at Xia Jingyun lying on the ground, the spring was beautiful, the lonely man and the widow, and the wonderful feeling of skin contact made her face as bright as spring unconsciously.

Xia Jingyun was naturally pretending to be dizzy, he meditated quietly, waiting for that picture to appear.

Time passed quietly, and when Xia Jingyun's ears had already heard the footsteps of the guards running, Xia Jingyun couldn't help but be anxious and nervous, if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to have a reasonable opportunity!

Fortunately, just when the guards arrived and Qin Li informed the other party of Xia Jingyun's situation, a light finally flashed in front of his eyes, and then a picture appeared.

Xia Jingyun was startled when he saw it, and when the picture dissipated, an overwhelming feeling of weakness hit him instantly, making him almost faint.

He forced his eyes open, "What's wrong with me?" ”

The genuine weakness, combined with the disguised blank eyes, successfully dispelled the already small doubts in Qin Li's heart.

Qin Li hurriedly said: "Just now, you fainted while walking, thinking that it was a serious injury that had not healed, and you were overthinking, Xia Gongzi still had to recuperate." ”

Chen Fugui helped Xia Jingyun up, Xia Jingyun also let go of his hand without showing a trace, and said weakly: "It's okay, I just thought of a thing, Miss Qin, you'd better go back to the house immediately, inform your eldest brother, and let him not go out in the next few days, even if he has to go out, he must bring all the guards in case of accidents." ”

Qin Li looked puzzled, Xia Jingyun gasped twice, "I have a terrible guess, if the murderer is really someone else, and he attacks your eldest brother at this time, won't the two of us have a mortal enmity, and no one can stop it?" ”

Qin Li's face changed suddenly, "What Master Xia said is true, I'll go back to the house." ”

As soon as she turned around, she turned around again, "Thank you Xia Gongzi, thank you for coming to the door another day!" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded slowly, watched the green clothes leave, and muttered in his heart: I hope it's still too late!

The carriage galloped back to Qin's mansion, Qin Li changed his usual gentle image, rushed into the mansion, came to the courtyard where Qin Yuwen was, grabbed one of his entourages and asked, "Where is my eldest brother!" ”

"Back to Miss, the eldest prince just received a letter and went out."

Qin Li's complexion changed again, and his heart sank, "Where did you go?" ”

"I don't know, and the eldest prince didn't say it."

"How many people did you bring?"

"As far as Changkong and Liu Guard, the eldest prince said, now that he is out, the head catchers of the Criminal Department and the spies of the Black Ice Platform are all his guards, and no one is needed."

The extravagant carriage drove slowly in the city, don't look at the magnates in Beijing these days are a little frightened, but the common people are still living in their own way, and people are still coming and going in the downtown area.

Escort Liu rode a tall horse and watched around vigilantly.

Although Childe was reasonable, he did find a few suspected Black Ice Platform rats and people from the Criminal Department around him, but as a guard, it was impossible for Childe to pin his hopes on others as the first person responsible for his safety.

When the car passed through the downtown area, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And inside the carriage, Qin Yuwen smiled and said to his relatives Changkong: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, where are there so many assassinations, Xia Jingyun is too ostentatious, there are too many enemies, this son has lived in Zhongjing City for so many years, who dares to touch me?" ”

Changkong nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the curtain of the car was lifted, and the coachman looked at Qin Yuwen, took out a bucket-shaped thing from his arms like lightning, aimed it at him, and said with a smile: "Childe, Childe Xia greets you!" ”

The bomb rang out, and before Qin Yuwen had time to react, the sleeve arrow accurately pierced Qin Yuwen's throat.

Qin Yuwen's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the coachman shrink back and jump out of the car to leave.

The curtain of the car swayed slightly in the spring breeze, the neighing of the horses, the frightened screams of the people, and the sudden loud noise around were the last scenes left by this world for Qin Yuwen.

Boom!

The body fell.

The eldest son of the Qin family, one of the four sons of Beijing, Qian Gongzi, died!

Whew, exhausted. I've added a day's amount, isn't it too much to ask for a ticket?
