In the mansion, Rong Bo was pacing back and forth. It was already November, and the capital had already become cold. Although there were two pots of silver charcoal burning in the house, he was still wearing a warm cloak, and underneath he was wearing a sweater knitted with wool.
, but he didn't feel warm. He felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow. This chill invaded his heart and made his heart ache.
Uncle Su Yi has been invited by Shuntian Prefecture Yin, and he has not come back yet.
Rong Bo didn't know how things came to this point. When Su Yibo found someone to assassinate his biological father and mother, the two people were lucky. They happened to meet a master, causing the assassin to return in vain, and they couldn't find him for a while.
to the whereabouts of Zhao Jiang and his wife.
They thought that the couple had secretly left the capital, and they bribed the city gate captain to ask them to pay more attention. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiang and his wife appeared in the capital again yesterday. It turned out that they had never left during this period, and they even
He came to Rong Bo to extort a new sum of money, saying that the money had been lost in gambling some time ago. In order to stabilize the couple, Rong Bo naturally gave him another sum of money, and Su Yibo also arranged a new assassination.
.
However, this time the assassin never returned and there was no news. Zhao Jiang and his wife even went to Shuntian Mansion to report the case. Uncle Su Yi was invited by the Shuntian Mansion guards and has not returned yet.
Only then did Rong Bo realize that the appearance of Zhao Jiang and his wife this time was not accidental, and there were others standing behind them. Otherwise, how could ordinary people like them escape from the assassins again and again. Secondly, those assassins were all professionally trained
The trainees had nothing on them that would reveal their identity, let alone a token with the seal of Uncle Suyi's Mansion. From beginning to end, this was a huge net against them, and he and Uncle Suyi wanted to
In order to solve the hidden danger of Zhao Jiang and his wife, he jumped in like this.
Did the other party already know his details from Zhao Jiang? After all, Zhao Jiang and his wife are not the kind of people who keep secrets. This time he cooperated with the other party, and he was afraid that he had guessed that the assassin was sent by him and Su Yibo.
, I must hate him very much in my heart, let alone help him keep it a secret.
When he thought that his identity might be exposed and he might be executed by Ling Chi, Rong Bo's lips lost any color and his eyes were full of panic and fear.
No, he couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
Now that the matter has not been found on him, Su Yibo will definitely not admit it. He must leave the capital! As long as he leaves here, he can completely change his appearance and live a new life incognito.
He couldn't take away those land deeds. He could only take away jewelry and money. He couldn't take away any other furniture or ornaments. Those things were all taken out from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had the royal mark on them. Even if he left the capital
, and I dare not take it out for fear of exposing myself.
Rong Bo quickly went to look for jade and silver coins, and was a little annoyed to find that the jade stones looked like those in the palace, and some of them had royal marks on the backs.
The only thing he could take away was money. Because he was blackmailed by his biological father and mother, he only had more than 5,000 taels of silver left in his hand. Rong Bo kicked the banknote into his arms and took some broken silver with him.
On the body.
After doing this, he would ride on his horse and leave the capital first.
As a result, just as she walked out of the hall, she saw Xia Zhiyao walking over anxiously. Her eyes were filled with mist, her palm-sized face was full of panic and uneasiness, and her voice was full of pitiful crying, "Rong Bo
, save my grandpa. Grandpa has been taken away by Shuntian Prefecture for a long time, and he has not come back yet. The people in Shuntian Prefecture will not let our family go to the government office."
Normally, hearing her aggrieved and uneasy voice and looking at her charming appearance, Rong Bo would definitely feel pity for her and take good care of her. But now he can't protect himself and just wants to leave as soon as possible. Where else can he go?
The idea of pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade.
"I am busy now……"
When Xia Zhiyao heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Is there anything more important than my grandfather now?"
"My grandpa has been arrested, so Shuntian Prefecture is serious about it this time. Someone must be maliciously framing grandpa."
She was nearby and heard something. It was said that her grandfather had someone assassinate a couple from out of town. Xia Zhiyao thought this excuse was so ridiculous. With her grandfather's identity, did she need to secretly assassinate a couple from out of town?
?
She wanted to find someone to ask about this, but she was afraid of losing the face of Uncle Suyi's house. At first she could hold her own, but seeing that her grandfather never came back, Xia Zhiyao panicked. Then she remembered
Rong Bo.
There were still tears hanging from her eyelashes, "Well, Shuntian Prefecture Yin has always disliked grandpa. I don't know how much grievance grandpa has to suffer."
"Rong Bo, can you go to the palace and plead with His Majesty to send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly and restore my grandfather's innocence?"
After hearing this, Rong Bo just wanted to vomit blood. How could he enter the palace at this time? Wouldn't it be like throwing himself into a trap?
If the emperor were to send more people to investigate this matter, he would probably die faster.
He knew in his heart that his real intention was not to let Xia Zhiyao go in, so he could only deal with her, "I just prepared to go out just to enter the palace."
Xia Zhiyao said without hesitation: "I will accompany you into the palace."
Rong Bo's face turned dark. He was trying to escape from the capital secretly. How could he escape with Xia Zhiyao behind him?
He racked his brains to persuade Xia Zhiyao to go back, "I can go there alone. As you know, the Emperor and Queen have misunderstood you now... I'm afraid that after you enter the palace, it will add fuel to the fire."
Xia Zhiyao's face turned pale, and her fiancé pointed out her reputation problem unceremoniously, which made her feel embarrassed and ashamed. But she still wanted Rong Bo, so she could only swallow her anger and said: "Then you go alone
Bar."
Rong Bo finally got rid of him and took out the big horse he usually rode from the stable.
Xia Zhiyao watched him sitting on the horse, driving the tall horse, "Let's go, go quickly!"
The county horse ran towards the southeast. Xia Zhiyao's face changed drastically and he couldn't help shouting: "Rong Bo, you are running in the wrong direction."
Entering the palace is obviously another direction.
Rong Bo turned a deaf ear and just wanted to leave quickly. However, he was stopped before he could run more than ten feet. The person who stopped him was the guard of Shuntian Prefecture.
The guards' voices were loud, "Dismount, Rong Bo, and come with us."
Rong Bo held the reins tightly, his body as stiff as a piece of wood. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "There must be a reason for asking me to come over."
The guard's loud voice was clearly heard by everyone around him, "Does murdering the adoptive parents and trying to assassinate the biological parents count as a reason?"
Under the sunlight, Rong Bo's face was paler than a piece of white paper, with no trace of blood left.
