Chapter 84: The Killer of the Seven
Shen Yanshu knew that the struggle between the prince and the prince had always been cruel, and the queen was a ruthless lord, Yan Qinghan's biological mother, Concubine Li, died early, and no one sheltered him from the wind and rain.
Even if Mrs. Dingxi Hou was his aunt, it was sometimes difficult to help.
Shen Yanshu raised her head and looked at his angular face, she suddenly remembered her brother.
My brother said that Yan Qinghan is a person worthy of deep friendship, and he joked at the time that if it weren't for the person his sister already liked, he really wanted Yan Qinghan to be his brother-in-law.
It is said that General Qi Xiao knows people with a good eye, and none of the people he likes are extraordinary things, but Yan Qinghan ......
"What's wrong?" Yan Qinghan met her gaze and asked.
Shen Yanshu asked: "I want to know, your poison was obviously hit when you led the troops to suppress Qi Yi, how could it be the queen's poison plan?"
Yan Qinghan raised his hand and touched her hair, and suddenly smiled.
"If you want to know something, you can just ask, don't test me like that. He said, "I know that you have a deep relationship with the Qi family, and if I said that I didn't intend to lead troops to suppress it but wanted to stop the queen's conspiracy, you might not believe it, but it is true." β
Shen Yanshu looked at him in surprise, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
"How did you know this was the Queen's conspiracy?" Shen Yanshu asked.
Yan Qinghan knew that she had always been cautious, and if she didn't understand it thoroughly, she wouldn't believe it.
He didn't mind telling her the truth of the matter, because he inexplicably believed Shen Yanshu.
"The reason why Qi Yi led the troops to besiege the city was that he received the news that the emperor had been kidnapped, but the news he received was a message stamped with the queen's phoenix seal, but later Qi Yi was killed, and the secret letter was nowhere to be found, and there was no evidence to check. β
Shen Yanshu did not doubt Yan Qinghan's words this time, because what he said was consistent with Princess Zhaojun's statement, and even more detailed.
Yan Qinghan continued: "I was in the city at the time, and when I heard the news of Qi Yi's rebellion, of course I didn't believe it, and when I heard that Qi Yunjing was killed, I realized that maybe the Qi family was calculated, and I was about to take someone to stop it, but unfortunately I was ambushed by the road and was poisoned by the wolf bone. β
"So, you're the one who knows the truth?" Shen Yanshu got up and broke free from his arms, "Then why don't you tell the emperor?"
"Without proof, do you think he will believe it?" Yan Qinghan was surprised by what Shen Yanshu said.
Shen Yanshu looked lonely, she was too anxious, so she said such a thing, the emperor's suspicious nature would not believe it.
And with the queen and King Ning here, Yan Qinghan was also poisoned at that time, and he was on the line between life and death, how could he be asked to do anything?
"It's that I'm naΓ―ve. Shen Yanshu laughed to himself.
Yan Qinghan looked at her like this, and was a little distressed.
But he knew that Shen Yanshu had already believed him, at least he was not hostile to him.
Shen Yanshu looked at the night outside the window, secretly calculating that this hour was about the same as the last time Yan Qinghan fell ill, but looking at him in front of him, he didn't seem to be too abnormal.
"You...... Don't you feel uncomfortable?" asked Shen Yanshu.
Being asked by Shen Yanshu like this, Yan Qinghan reacted, and before he knew it, time had passed so long.
Except that at first I felt that I was vaguely about to get sick, but after hugging Shen Yanshu, I was relieved.
Shen Yanshu is really her antidote!
Seeing Yan Qinghan's excited eyes, Shen Yanshu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Don't beat my idea." β
Yan Qinghan said: "But I have already beaten, and we are now married." β
Shen Yanshu didn't know what the original owner had experienced, and she didn't know what was special about the body she was using now, but if this kind of special thing was used by someone with a heart and was guilty, she would not sit still.
Yan Qinghan said: "Don't worry, if it is at the cost of hurting you, I will not agree to this treatment." β
Seeing that Yan Qinghan's hand seemed to start to tremble again, she hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and continued to sit on the edge of the bed.
Yan Qinghan's eyes smiled, and he leaned in her direction slightly, and hugged her into his arms again.
The sky was slightly white, and Xiyan stood at the door and Mojiang Mofeng stalemate for a night, and finally waited for the door to open.
"Miss!" Xiyan stepped forward to check if there was anything unusual in her own miss.
Shen Yanshu said: "I'm fine, go back." β
As he spoke, he left King Ling's Mansion with Xi Yan without looking back.
After the ceremony was done, and the family affairs were settled, Shen Yanshu's sister and brother left Chang'an with Xiao Lu and his son the next day in the direction of Jiangnan.
The Xiao family is wealthy, and even the carriage is much better than that of ordinary people, in order not to show their wealth, the carriage looks no different from others on the surface, but it is very different on the inside.
Shen Yanshu sat in the soft carriage and walked for a few days without feeling tired, but he just sighed that the Xiao family was really wealthy.
"Miss. Xiyan lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.
Shen Yanshu asked, "What have you found?"
"There are two groups of people who are on the same road with us, one team is a killer bought in the rivers and lakes, seven people, and one team is unidentified, four people. Xiyan replied.
Xiao Lu brought a total of more than a dozen guards this time, but if he faced two teams of men and horses attacking in turn, he would be powerless, and one of the teams was still unknown and did not know friends and enemies.
"Pay more attention when looking for an inn tonight, we can directly deal with the seven killers or alert the uncle, while the other team waits and sees. Shen Yanshu said.
She didn't know who sent the killer, and there might be a lot of people who didn't like her.
She only brought two maids, Qing Kite and Xiyan, while Shen Yan'an only brought a personal servant, except for Xiyan, the others were people who could not protect themselves.
In this case, it is often the best policy to strike first.
Finally arrived at the inn, and just after Shen Yanshu and the others arranged the room, seven people followed behind them.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have a room?" one of them shouted at the top of his voice.
Shen Yanshu turned her head and glanced at the seven people, but happened to meet the eyes of some of them glancing at her.
Shen Yanshu turned his head and continued to walk upstairs.
The shopkeeper probably saw too much of them looking so fierce, but he stepped forward and said with a smile: "What are these words, guest officer, we must have enough place to live when we open the door to do business!"
"Seven rooms. β
"Isn't there too much for seven, it's okay for the two of us to squeeze in. One of them said.
"Save that little bit of silver, there is a big deal, even if it is one person or two rooms, Lao Tzu can pay the money, and there will be seven rooms. β
"Okay! There are three rooms on the east side of the second floor, and four rooms on the west side, all of which belong to you, and I will let Xiao Er take you there!" said the shopkeeper.
Shen Yanshu walked up to the second floor, and Xiao Lu had already looked through all the rooms.
"Yan Shu, the one near the east side is bigger, you can live there. Xiao Lu said to her.
She nodded: "Just do as my uncle instructs." β
The seven people also went up to the second floor, and Shen Yanshu suddenly asked Xiao Lu, "Uncle, have you ever encountered a killer when you went out to do business before?"
Not only Xiao Lu, but even the seven people were stunned.
"How did you suddenly think of this?" Xiao Lu was a little wary of what she said.
Shen Yanshu said: "The first time I went out, I often heard that there would be robbers and robbers on the road, so I was naturally a little worried, maybe some of the people I met were bad people!"
The expressions of the seven men were a little stiff.
Xiao Lu said: "Although what you said is not unreasonable, but don't think too much, with your uncle here, a few killers are not to be feared." β
When my uncle said this, Shu'er was relieved. Shen Yanshu smiled slightly, and took Qing Kite and Xi Yan into the room.
Xiao Lu was out before, but he met two people who asked for money, but they were all resolved by him, and then the business became bigger and bigger, and some people with hot eyes wanted his life, but they all returned in vain.
Looking at the expressions of the seven people who were a little weak-hearted, Xiao Lu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at them, and remembered Shen Yanshu's words again.
Xiao Lu's eyes made them even more weak, and the seven of them assigned their own rooms and gathered together at the same time.
"Boss, do you think the girl will find something?" said one of them, with some concern.
Another chimed in: "I think she must have spotted us and looked at us when she went upstairs." β
"How is it possible, she is just a young lady who does not go out of the door, how can she easily see our identity?" Said the man known as the Boss.
"So when are we going to do it? It's been going to be followed for days. Someone said impatiently, "If this continues, I'm afraid that Xiao Lu's old fox will also doubt us, and it will be even more difficult to start when the time comes." β
"It was originally scheduled to be two more days, but since Xiao Lu has begun to doubt us, let's do it today. β
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
The night was quiet, but the inn was brightly lit, and it was very close to the official road, so it was often open all night, just waiting for those who rushed overnight.
One of the seven people let off steam, and the others went in pairs, carrying knives and sneaking into Shen Yanshu's room.
There was no light in the room, and with the dim light in the hallway, they walked towards the bed.
Seeing that the quilt was bulging, they raised their knives and slashed hard at the bed, only to find that there was nothing but a pillow inside.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" a man finally reacted!
But as soon as they ran out of the door, they saw the captured windbreaker.
Xiao Lu stepped forward and sneered: "Sure enough, it was our idea, who sent you here?"
The six of them looked at each other, and finally decided to grit their teeth and rush out.
The guards brought by Xiao Lu are not vegetarians, and it is still trivial for more than a dozen people to take down a few of them.
Between the swords and swords, the seven people were quickly suppressed, and then tied up by the guards.
"Tell me, who sent you?" Xiao Lu asked.
The seven were silent.
"If you want to kill, we won't say it. β
In the killer business, if you easily tell the buyer's secret, you will naturally not be able to do it for a long time, and you will be hunted down by the buyer in the future.
"I have a way to get you to speak. Xiyan stepped forward and said.
