On a cold day, Xiao Jiuan couldn't be bored when he went out in the middle of the night. He left so hurriedly and suddenly yesterday simply because the news he received was so shocking.
The young master of the Qi family, Qi Lianshan, died. He was stabbed eighteen times. He died outside the city, near the Yanbei army's garrison, and died under the weapons specially made by the Yanbei army!
The first person to receive the news was not the Yanbei Army or the spies of the Yanbei Palace, but Feng Qi.
When Feng Qi received the news, he did not tell the Qi family immediately. Instead, he had someone tell Xiao Jiu'an and ask him how to deal with it?
Any reasonable person can see that this is a frame-up, but...
For the Qi family whose heir died, do they have any sense?
If the murderer cannot be found for a long time, or if after repeated investigations, Yan Beijun is still the most suspected in the end, will the Qi family let Yan Beijun go?
What's more, Qilianshan died near the Yanbei Army's station and died under the weapons specially made by the Yanbei Army. It can be said that someone framed the Yanbei Army, or it can be said that the Yanbei Army deliberately exposed the truth in order to clear away the charges.
Such a flaw.
In short, no matter what, if Yan Beijun is involved in this matter, it will be very troublesome.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Jiuan got the news about Feng Qi, he immediately went out to meet Feng Qi. After confirming that the news was true, Qi Lianshan's body was still outside the city, and Feng Qi did not let anyone move it, Xiao Jiuan nodded.
If you receive the news first, you can make arrangements in advance no matter what. No matter what the reason is for Feng Qi to tell him first, he owes this favor.
"What do you think about this matter?" Xiao Jiuan asked Feng Qi for his opinion after hearing what happened.
He believed that this matter was never as simple as it seemed.
Feng Qi smiled indifferently, and did not hide anything from Xiao Jiuan, saying bluntly: "Your Majesty, there is a reason why I will look for you first. Outside the city, there are currently only two forces that can kill the young master of the Qi family. One is Li Yuan, and the other is
Feng Ning.”
Feng Qi believed that there was no need for him to say anything about the news that Feng Ning was hiding outside the city. Xiao Jiuan already knew it.
"Compared to Li Yuan, I doubt Feng Ning." Neither Li Yuan nor Feng Jiajun could ask Qilianshan out in the middle of the night, only Feng Ning could.
"This matter apparently involves the Prince of Yanbei, but you and I both know that the matter will never be as simple as it appears. That's why I asked the prince to come over overnight to discuss how to best deal with this matter?" Feng Qi
He looked magnanimous, and even though he only had speculations in his mind, he did not conceal the relationship between this matter and the Feng family.
"This matter... I can be sure that Li Yuan and my people did not take action. I have no motive to kill Qilianshan, and there is no need for it." Compared with Li Yuan, Feng Ning is more likely, but...
…
Both he and Feng Qi understood that no matter how sure they were, it would be useless. If Feng Ning really took action, he would definitely not leave any traces and would not give the Qi family a chance to find out about him.
No matter how they investigated the death of Qilianshan, the only people they found were the Yanbei Army and the Yanbei King.
If they don't want to bear the blame, they have to bear it, at least for now.
Feng Qi shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Feng Ning...he actually doesn't need to." Maybe there is, but that reason is not enough for Feng Ning to take the risk, and there is no need to do so.
Unless someone gives Feng Ning greater benefits, Feng Ning will not take action against Qilian Mountain rashly due to Feng Ning's caution and maturity.
Qi Lianshan is the young master of the Qi family, and his relationship with Feng Qi is average. The Qi family will not be a help to Feng Qi. There is no need for Feng Ning to risk offending the Qi family to get rid of Qi Lianshan.
Xiao Jiuan nodded lightly and did not refute Feng Qi's words, but said: "You forgot... there is a person who has a reason and the ability."
Feng Qi was silent for a moment and took a deep look at Xiao Jiu'an. Their eyes met and they silently exchanged a message: That person is - the emperor.
The moment their eyes met, Feng Qi looked away indifferently and asked softly: "Should we go to the Qi family first or outside the city first?" This matter can be hidden from the Qi family for a while, but not forever.
"You go to the Qi family, and I will go outside the city." He couldn't let the Qi family think that he had joined forces with Feng Qi.
Feng Qi shook his head: "No need, I can't enter the Qi family."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he returned to Qi's house in place of his mother, but the door of Qi's house was closed tightly, shutting him out and not even accepting his gift.
The Qi family had rarely suppressed him recently, and even helped him secretly. He thought that the Qi family had given up on him, but he never thought that the Qi family still refused and was unwilling to acknowledge him.
Xiao Jiuan was not a person who could comfort others, and he did not think that Feng Qi needed comfort, so he responded and asked Feng Qi to leave the city with him.
The two left the city overnight. How to persuade the officers and soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate?
Feng Qi and Xiao Jiu'an were not worried at all. No one dared to stop them from leaving the city gate, especially since the matter concerned the young master of the Qi family.
Not long after the two left the city, the emperor and the Qi family received the news.
The emperor didn't say anything. He only asked people to facilitate the Qi family and not to hinder the Qi family from leaving the city. He also asked people to fully assist the Qi family and not to cause trouble to the Qi family.
When the Qi family received the news, it is unknown how it shocked outsiders. They only know that the head of the Qi family, who had always been calm, lost his sense of caution at that time. He rushed to the stable, took a horse and ran out. The guards followed closely behind him but did not catch up.
.
At this time, the official guarding the city had received the news. Seeing the appearance of the head of the Qi family, the official guarding the city did not say a word and quickly opened the city gate to let people out...
If you dare to block the road at this time, you are simply seeking death.
The head of the Qi family ran forward with his horse whip as fast as he could, just like Xiao Jiu'an who arrived at the scene half a stick of incense late.
Xiao Jiuan arrived at the scene and saw the tragic death of Qilianshan. He did nothing but stood aside silently.
This matter is really difficult to handle. Now they just hope that the Qi family can calm down and not be fooled by the mastermind behind the scenes.
When the head of the Qi family came over, Xiao Jiuan did not come forward to say hello. He just stood aside and watched as the head of the Qi family jumped off his horse and threw himself next to Qi Lianshan's body.
"Lianshan...Lianshan..." The Qi family, who had always been calm and graceful in front of others, did not care about their appearance at this time. They knelt on the ground in embarrassment and carefully held Qi Lianshan's face.
Looking at Qilianshan's pale, lifeless face, the head of the Qi family burst into tears. After a long time, he calmed down and looked at the people around him: "Who, who killed my son?"
The head of the Qi family knelt on the ground, held Qi Lianshan's body in his arms, and roared at the people around him.
The people guarding the scene were the Feng family. Facing the questions from the Qi family head, the Feng family remained silent. Xiao Jiuan also had no intention of speaking. When Feng Qi saw this, he had no choice but to step forward: "Judging from the situation at the scene, it is Yan Bei."
military."
"Yanbei Army? King Yanbei, but my son has offended you?" Obviously, the head of the Qi family has no reason to speak at this time, and he did not understand the meaning of Feng Qi's words at all...
