Ximen Jingxuan stared at Lin Xiner's back. He didn't know how the Demonic Sound Messenger appeared in the backyard of the palace at the same time as her, but when he saw them with his own eyes, he understood that the backyard was also a part of his palace and could not be ignored.
"Okay, as you promised, I will go to Wangyue Tower after dawn." Ximen Jingxuan said.
The power of Shuiyue Palace should not be underestimated, but he still did not want to disturb them and provoke Lin Keer. Ximen Jingxuan understood that the confrontation with Shuiyue Palace could not be rushed.
After receiving Ximen Jingxuan's reply, Lin Xiner said nothing, waved her long sleeves, and walked towards the Moon Tower.
Ximen Jingxuan returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Yi Yao pretended to be Lin Xiner and stood carefully at the door of the house. The already weak door was broken during the fight, letting in the cool breeze before dawn.
Ximen Jingxuan did not look at Yi Yao, but instead cast his gaze on the grass on the side by the window. A ghost face lay there, with a thin layer of gold powder on the mask, reflecting the cold light.
Because I was in a hurry to chase the woman just now, I didn't even notice this thing.
Ximen Jingxuan walked over, bent down and picked up the ghost mask.
He had heard Ximen Hen's story before and roughly knew what this ghost face looked like, so he got a similar one from the theater troupe and used it to pretend to be a ghost-faced man in the dark to trick Ximen Jingyu.
So this ghost mask came from the Yuehua Kingdom person who escaped?
"What happened just now?" Ximen Jingxuan turned to Yiyao, who was standing against the door frame, and saw "Lin Xiner" in his eyes.
"I don't know, I heard the sound of fighting in my sleep, and those two people rushed into the house through the window." Yi Yao shook her head, looking at the mask in Ximen Jingxuan's hand, guessing that it should be from the person who fought with the young palace master.
He held up his hand and continued, "That mask seems to have been slapped off the face of the man just now."
The Demonic Voice Messenger? Ximen Jingxuan tightened his grip on the mask. Could it be that the Demonic Voice Messenger is the Ghost-faced Man?
Ximen Jingxuan was thinking about it, and looked into the room seemingly casually. He saw the same sound of fighting, but Yan'er didn't wake up?
"Oh, Your Majesty." Yi Yao saw Ximen Jingxuan's doubts, turned around, looked at Yan'er and said eagerly, "When the two were fighting just now, they touched Yan'er, and Yan'er fell into a coma.
Please show me, Your Majesty!"
"Since you are in a coma, you will eventually wake up." Ximen Jingxuan said indifferently, without any intention of entering the house to check. "After that, I will have someone come to repair the door."
After the sound fell, he suddenly turned around and left.
Stepping onto the small bridge over the pond, Ximen Jingxuan turned his head slightly and watched Yi Yao leaning softly into the house, as if her seriously injured body had not yet recovered its strength.
Ximen Jingxuan didn't stay long and quickly returned to the study. Yang Chen was already waiting there.
After a whole night of toil, we uncovered many people related to Ximen Jingyu who were hiding in the dark, and even affected the people in the palace.
To capture the thief first, capture the king. This has always been the right thing to do since ancient times.
When Ximen Jingyu is caught in one fell swoop, and Ximen Jingyu dies again, his men will inevitably panic, feeling like they are leaderless, and a disaster is imminent. Even if they are not under control, they will automatically become chaotic.
position.
A powerful effect soon formed, affecting the entire relationship, allowing Ximen Jingxuan to easily destroy Ximen Jingyu's layout. Even if some remnants escaped by chance, it would not become a big deal. Ximen Jingyu's behavior
The power that had been hidden in the shadows for many years has collapsed.
As for the Yuehua Kingdom, there are definitely not many people who can lurk in the hinterland of the Qingyuan Dynasty's capital. They have caught a few, but they can't find any information about the Ghost-faced Man.
"Is there any news about Jinzhi and Yinzhi?" Ximen Jingxuan asked. This was what he heard from the conversation between the one-eyed man and Ximen Jingyu. He should be an important figure after the ghost-faced man.
Yang Chen shook his head, "No, these two people are not among those captured."
Ximen Jingxuan understands that, just in case, these detailed works are all centered around their master, with a single line of communication, and there are not many opportunities to cross each other, so they will not be like Ximen Jingyu's people, touching one will involve the others.
People. And the status of these people who can be caught is not high in the fine work. If there is a loss, it must be them, so the value is not great.
"The gopher who kidnapped people should be the Thumb Brothers rumored in the world. Do you have any clues about them?" Ximen Jingxuan asked again.
The only ones who can quickly dig out a narrow secret passage, move freely in the secret passage, and break out of the ground are the thumb brothers called gophers. They are a pair of dwarf twins who make a living by robbing tombs and sometimes helping others.
Doing some jailbreak business, but because they want to snatch people from the other party, they must take great risks. Therefore, these brothers usually don't do it. As long as they do it, the asking price will not be low, not to mention that this time they are from Prince Xuan.
Rob someone.
What makes Ximen Jingxuan confused is that Brother Thumb kidnapped the One-Eyed Man and Ximen Hai in such a timely manner. It was as if the master had predicted it in advance and had already negotiated the price. They were definitely not looking for them on the spur of the moment.
But Ximen Jingxuan's attack on Ximen Jingyu was very sudden. He started to act as soon as he got the news. He wanted to catch Ximen Jingyu and the ghost-faced man by surprise. They didn't even have time to defend, let alone find them in a hurry.
Brother Thumb.
The unexpected appearance of Brother Thumb is more like someone hiding in the dark and paying attention to everything that happens in the capital. Everything has been arranged in advance so that it can be effective at the critical moment.
This made Ximen Jingxuan think of the female corpse that he found in Mrs. Zhiqi's yard the day after Lin Xiner got married and had been thrown into the Ten Thousand Burial Mound. In the hot summer, the female corpse had already rotted or been eaten by crows.
But the doubts she left behind have never been solved.
Now that it has been proven that the Yuehua Kingdom and Xiaoyaohou have been colluding with each other, the fire that burned the Xiaoyaohou Mansion that day was even more bizarre. The reason could not be that the Yuehua Kingdom was retaliating against Ximen Jingyu.
The case must be to cover up something more important. Ximen Jingyu did not hesitate to burn down the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion and betrayed his activities eight years ago. It was obviously to cover up his relationship with Yuehua Kingdom.
To take this step, Ximen Jingyu must have realized that his affairs with Yuehua Kingdom were in crisis. Ximen Jingxuan thought about what happened before and after the fire, and the only thing that made him suspicious was the discovery of an inexplicable female corpse in Prince Xuan's palace.
, which may make Ximen Jingyu feel in danger.
From this point of view, what Ximen Jingyu once said about Yuehua Kingdom's plan to replace someone should be true, and something really went wrong, otherwise they would not throw the female body back to Prince Xuan's Mansion without causing trouble, and let Ximen Jingxuan
Be suspicious.
So what happened to the female corpse, and who was behind it?
Is the person behind the female corpse incident related to Ximen Hai’s robbery tonight? Is all this related to Shuiyue Palace?
