All Yu Hanjiang's conjectures are just theoretical speculations. The only actual evidence is the rag Lin Shaobo is holding tightly in his hand - a rag with the same color and material as the guard's clothes, which is the key to this case.
physical evidence.
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang looked at Long Sen and said, "How many sets of clothes do the guards of the palace have?"
Long Sen said: "We all made two sets of clothes of the same color and style for changing."
Yu Hanjiang said: "You are the chief guard of the palace. When you go back, immediately summon all the guards and check their clothes carefully. There is another set of clothes on you to see who has missing a piece of clothes or is wearing something.
Traces of sewing.”
Long Sen nodded immediately: "I understand, I'll check it out right now."
No matter who is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is very likely that the person who directly killed Lin Shaobo was the palace guard. Otherwise, Lin Shaobo would not have torn off a piece of cloth from the opponent's sleeve during the struggle. To find the murderer from the physical evidence,
This is the safest way at present.
In order to find out whether the Eighth Prince was involved in the rebellion, Yu Hanjiang decided to go back to the Yu family in Jiangzhou to ask his elderly grandfather. According to the setting, his grandfather once held the position of prime minister and later resigned and returned to his hometown. Yu Hanjiang also followed his grandfather in
I grew up in Jiangzhou.
Yu Hanjiang worked as the prince's companion for a period of time when he was a child. In this world, his age is similar to that of the prince, who is now His Majesty, in his early twenties. His grandfather's age is similar to that of the late emperor, already over 70 years old.
The old man may know some secrets.
At noon that day, Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou back to Yu's house.
Yu Hanjiang's father did not pursue an official career. He recited poems and painted paintings all day long. He became an idle scholar and stayed in Jiangzhou. When Yu Hanjiang went to Beijing to take the exam, his father even stopped him. Unfortunately, Yu Hanjiang had a stubborn temper and was full of enthusiasm.
I went to take the exam and came back with a top score.
The Yu family lives on the outskirts of Jiangzhou City. The whole courtyard is quiet and simple, and it looks like they belong to a scholarly family.
Stepping into the house, Yu Hanjiang felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. After all, in the plot setting, he grew up here.
When the guard at the door saw him, his face was full of surprise and he said excitedly: "Master, the young lady is back? Go and report it now!"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, gently held Xiao Lou's shoulders and walked into the courtyard. The two walked along the bluestone road to the hall. Their parents had received the news and rushed over. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou saluted the elders together.
Although these two were not Yu Hanjiang's real parents, they were just characters set in the plot, but they were suddenly brought back to "meet the parents". Xiao Lou still felt awkward and could only bite the bullet and act with Yu Hanjiang, shouting: "Dad,
mother."
Father Yu asked: "Hanjiang, when did you come to Jiangzhou to take office? Why don't you always visit home?"
Yu Hanjiang explained: "My son has just arrived in Jiangzhou and has a lot of official duties to deal with. He has been very busy these days. I just took some time to go home for a visit today. Dad and Mom, how are you doing these days?"
Mother Yu smiled and said, "Everything is fine with your father and I, but you two have lost weight after not seeing each other for three years?" She looked at Xiao Lou with a loving expression on her face: "Xiao Lou, you are following Han Jiang in Kyoto.
, have you suffered a lot?"
Xiao Loudao: "Mom, please don't say that. My husband is busy with official duties in Kyoto, so it's appropriate for me to stay with him."
He himself felt nauseous about this line, but he still had to bite the bullet and continue acting.
Yu Hanjiang quickly changed the subject: "Where is grandpa? Why aren't you at home?"
Father Yu said: "Your grandfather goes fishing in the mountains every day, and he hasn't come back yet."
Mother Yu looked at Xiao Lou and said warmly, "Just stay at home and eat. Mom will ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for you."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang chatted with their parents for a while.
It was not until lunch time that the grandfather came back leisurely with a fishing rod and fishing basket. There were a few freshly caught fish in his fishing basket. When he saw his grandson and granddaughter-in-law coming back, the old man narrowed his eyes with joy and immediately took the fish.
The fish is given to the cook to stew in soup.
Xiao Lou stayed in the side hall to talk to Yu's mother, while Yu Hanjiang found an opportunity to ask his grandfather to go to the study alone.
He briefly told his grandfather what happened in the palace.
Although Grandpa Yu is old, he is in very good spirits. Hearing that someone died in the palace, the old man frowned slightly, stroked his long beard, and said: "This matter is not simple, you have to investigate carefully.
, but you must also learn to be wise and protect yourself. If you shouldn’t know something, just pretend you don’t know it, so as not to get yourself into trouble.”
Hearing what grandpa meant, Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, you served as the prime minister for the late emperor for more than ten years. Why did the late emperor pass the throne to his grandson instead of the prince?"
Grandpa Yu sighed softly: "Sigh... This matter is a long story, and the late Emperor had no choice but to do it."
Yu Hanjiang sat next to him and listened carefully: "You have no choice? What is the reason?"
Grandpa Yu said: "The former emperor had very few heirs. Many princes died soon after they were born. Only five princes survived, the eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the eighth prince. The eldest prince is the eldest son, and he is the eldest son.
Born to the empress of the main palace, the late emperor loved the eldest prince the most and made him the crown prince when he was still in his infancy."
Thinking of what happened back then, the grandfather couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness on his face: "The eldest prince is talented, kind-hearted, humble and studious. The ministers also think that he will be the best candidate for succession. However, he is twenty years old."
When I was young, I went hunting and was injured by a poisonous arrow, killing me on the spot. After investigation, I found that it was actually the third prince who sent someone to do it. His Majesty was so angry that he simply gave the third prince a glass of poisonous wine."
Yu Hanjiang was startled: "So it was the third prince who assassinated His Highness the Crown Prince? His Majesty ordered him to death in anger?"
Grandpa Yu said: "Well, the secrets of the royal family are naturally not easy to spread. After the eldest prince passed away early, the position of the prince was temporarily vacant. Your Majesty wanted to carefully examine the other princes before making a decision, but not long after, the queen also
He passed away from the illness, and later on the investigation revealed that it was actually Concubine Shu who poisoned the queen to death, and Concubine Ming poisoned Concubine Shu, and also involved the forces behind the fifth and sixth princes."
"The concubines in the harem used cruel methods to compete for favor, which made the late emperor feel discouraged, so the late emperor secretly made a decree that one day after his death, all his concubines would be buried in his honor."
After hearing this story, Yu Hanjiang also found it thrilling. He thought about it carefully and said: "The third prince was given poisonous wine by the late emperor. The fifth and sixth princes joined forces with their mother and concubine to seize power, but the eighth prince... was the original prince.
The eighth prince did not participate in the fight for the crown prince's position, so why did the late emperor not consider making him the crown prince?"
Grandpa Yu smiled and said: "The Eighth Prince is the one who sees it most thoroughly. Among the several princes of the late emperor, he was knowledgeable and talented. He was also the best candidate for the crown prince. When the late emperor originally consulted us ministers,
, everyone suggested establishing the eighth prince. However, just when the late emperor decided to establish the eighth prince as heir apparent, he took the initiative to submit a memorial, suggesting that the late emperor set a rule that in the future, the throne of Daqi would only be passed to the legitimate son of the empress.
When the legitimate son passes on to the eldest son, the order must not be disrupted, so as to avoid the fight for the crown prince in future generations."
In history, it is not uncommon for fights for the crown prince's position to lead to bloodshed. The Eighth Prince obviously understood the principle of "being wise and protecting oneself". At that time, he and his mother and concubine had no power. If Your Majesty appointed him as the crown prince, he would
He became the next scapegoat and was jointly suppressed by the fifth and sixth princes. Did he really have no intention of being powerful back then, or was he pretending to be a pig and waiting for the best opportunity?
Grandpa's next statement gave Yu Hanjiang the answer: "The year the late emperor passed away, the prince succeeded to the throne. The prince was only eighteen years old at the time. The fifth and sixth princes raised troops to force the palace. It was the eighth prince who assisted the prince and cooperated internally and externally to put down the rebellion. Although your majesty is still young today,
He was young, but had foresight. He had long expected that the two imperial uncles would not be peaceful, and made arrangements in advance when the late emperor was seriously ill. Poor two princes, they looked down upon this young nephew too much, and they were messed up in the palace.
They were shot to death by arrows, and finally His Majesty found an excuse for 'death of illness' and buried them."
Yu Hanjiang: "..."
Yu Hanjiang, who had just passed the No. 1 exam, didn't know what happened back then. But now he suddenly realized it when his grandfather told him.
Many of the struggles in the palace are secrets that cannot be told outside. Although my grandfather is old and living in seclusion in Jiangzhou, there are several high-ranking ministers in the court who are his disciples, and he has his own sources of information.
When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he couldn't help but wonder - if the eighth prince really wanted to rebel, wouldn't it be easier for the prince to rebel when he had just ascended the throne and his position was not yet stable? Why should he help the prince to put down the rebellion of the other two princes?
It has been four years since the crown prince ascended the throne. Most of the important officials in the imperial court are very convinced of his Majesty. His Majesty has gradually cultivated his own confidants. If the Eighth Prince wants to rebel again, he has already missed the best opportunity.
Could it be that the Eighth Prince is really an idle prince who only loves beauty and has no interest in politics?
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Grandpa Yu said with emotion: "Being in the royal family, sometimes you have no choice but to do it. During the harem struggle back then, many concubines, princes and princesses died in vain. The eighth prince and ninth princess are your majesty's few relatives."
Yu Hanjiang suddenly remembered the secret letter His Majesty sent to the Eighth Prince...
Is my guess wrong?
It happened that his mother asked someone to pass on the food, so Yu Hanjiang helped his elderly grandfather to go with her.
The family had a reunion dinner around the dining table. Yu Hanjiang chatted with his parents for a while before taking Xiao Lou to leave.
After leaving the Yu family, Xiao Lou asked with a smile: "How was it? Did you gain anything from this trip?"
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Our reasoning may be wrong again."
Xiao Loudao: "You mean, the Eighth Prince is not suspected of treason?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Judging from grandpa's description, the Eighth Prince doesn't look like that kind of person. It is said that when the late emperor died and the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, the fifth and sixth princes joined forces to attack the palace. It was His Majesty and the Eighth Prince who cooperated internally and externally to put down the rebellion. Then
Both princes were shot to death in the palace by random arrows. If the eighth prince wants to rebel, there is no need to wait until His Majesty's wings are full before he takes action."
Xiao Lou was a little surprised when he heard this: "So it seems that the Eighth Prince is actually very loyal to His Majesty?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Since His Majesty is a far-sighted person, if he is afraid of the Eighth Prince, he will not be so stupid as to let the Eighth Prince's legitimate daughter, Princess Shu'an, marry to the Kingdom of Zhao for marriage, leaving him such a big hidden danger."
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said, "By asking the Eighth Prince to form an alliance with the State of Zhao, does it mean that His Majesty actually trusts the Eighth Prince?"
Yu Hanjiang said thoughtfully: "His Majesty also gave the Eighth Prince a secret letter. I don't know what it said. Maybe our reasoning has gone astray. The Eighth Prince is not planning to rebel, but joining forces with Your Majesty... to suppress Jiang."
Possible rebel forces in the state?”
Xiao Lou's eyes lit up: "That makes sense! The prince has changed from a villain to a decent person. Someone wants to rebel, but it's not the eighth prince. He is on the same boat as your majesty?"
The process of reasoning is essentially peeling off the cocoon. If one idea is wrong, immediately change to another.
There are too many clues involved in the murder case in the palace. At first, it was thought to be a fight in the back house, and the affair between the fourth lady and Lin Shaobo was discovered before being silenced; later, it was suspected that it was a guard, and the eighth prince was treason...
Now I found out that it was all wrong.
Lin Shaobo is not the murderer, Qin Huwei is not the murderer, and the Eighth Prince is probably not the murderer either.
So, who sneaked into the palace and killed two people on the prince's birthday?
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and said, "I don't know what the progress is at Long Sen. Let's go to the palace again."
****
【Chapter 171, War in Troubled Times 20】
Prince's Mansion.
As soon as Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou entered the door, Long Sen hurriedly greeted them and said in a low voice: "The third lady and Qin Rui are gone. It is said that her mother, Mrs. Qing, did not agree with her marriage to Qin Rui and even threatened her with death.
"The third lady has a strong personality. She packed her luggage last night and eloped directly with Guard Qin."
Xiao Lou: “…………”
She actually called an escort to elope. This girl was really brave. There was nothing she could do if she didn't agree. Mrs. Qing would definitely be mad at her.
However, Yu Hanjiang felt that things were not that simple. He asked in a low voice: "Miss Third, Guard Qin, do you know martial arts?"
Long Sen nodded: "Qin Rui is the one with the highest martial arts among the guards of the palace. I have never seen the third lady's martial arts, but I heard that she is extremely strong. A girl can cut a tree directly with a sword. Obviously her martial arts is not good.
weak."
Yu Hanjiang was thoughtful: "Do you think it was a bit hasty that the prince suddenly agreed to the third lady's marriage yesterday?"
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and felt that something was not right.
After all, the third young lady is also a daughter of the royal family. Qin Rui is a guard of the palace and Mrs. Han's younger brother. There is a huge difference in status between the two and they are not the same generation. Mrs. Han inexplicably said that she would make the decision for her younger brother. The prince actually agreed to this marriage?
How can there be any reason to marry your daughter to a guard in just a few words?
Now, the third lady and Guard Qin ran away together in the name of "eloping" - was it really an elopement, or did the prince deliberately let them out of the house to perform some special mission?
Yu Hanjiang said: "This prince is not a simple man. Now the entire palace has been sealed off because of the murder. No one can get out. With such a commotion, wouldn't the third lady and Qin Rui leave the palace naturally? Moreover, everyone thinks that the third lady
The young lady has a strong personality and was dissatisfied with her mother's opposition to the marriage, so she simply ran away with her escorts in a desperate situation, so that the disappearance of these two people would not arouse any suspicion."
Xiao Lou did not expect this deeper level, and simply thought that the third lady and Qin Rui had really eloped.
But after careful consideration, it is actually quite strange that the prince and Mrs. Han got engaged to two people yesterday. The prince agreed. Even if Mrs. Qing objects, there is no need for the third lady to elope, right? Of course, the prince has the final say in the palace.
The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more he felt that Captain Yu's speculation was reasonable: "So, he took Qin Rui, the best martial artist, and the third lady out of the house, maybe because he wanted to investigate the assassin organization?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, otherwise it wouldn't make sense for the third lady to elope at this time."
He paused, looked at Long Sen and asked: "Over there with the guards, what are the results of the investigation?"
Long Sen looked depressed, shook his head and said: "All the guards of the palace have been checked, and none of them have damaged clothes..."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
So where did the pieces of clothes in Lin Shaobo's hand come from?
Yu Hanjiang clasped his hands on his chest, thought carefully, and suddenly said: "Could it be that... someone pretended to be a guard of the palace, sneaked into the palace, was caught by Lin Shaobo, and killed him to silence him?"
Xiao Lou agreed: "It seems that this is the only explanation, otherwise Lin Shaobo wouldn't have an extra piece of cloth in his hand for no reason."
On the prince's birthday, the palace was really lively.
Another assassin from Tianxiang Tower, another woman pretending to be the Fourth Miss, and another person pretending to be a bodyguard...
The guards couldn't find anything, so Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou had no choice but to go back home.
Liu Qiao and Shao Qingge were waiting for them at the magistrate's office. Xiao Lou probably recounted today's clues to them. Shao Qingge pressed his temples hard: "So, all previous reasoning must be overturned?"
Liu Qiao also had a headache and said: "A-level secret rooms are really complicated!"
There are only a few suspects in the Secret Room of Hearts such as Maplewood High School and Speedy Train. If you investigate them one by one, you can always identify the real culprit. But the Secret Room in Troubled Times involves too wide a range, and it is not easy to string together all the clues.
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "When I first entered this secret room, I thought it would be difficult, because there is no time limit in this secret room."
Recalling the prompt of the floating box at that time, Lao Mo suddenly came back to his senses, slapped his thigh and said: "There is no time limit in the secret room. If we can't solve the case, maybe in a few months, the thieves will rebel and take the throne."
Your Majesty has been overthrown, Master Yu is your Majesty’s confidant, we will all have to be destroyed when the time comes..."
Shao Qingge said: "Indeed, if this rebellion case is not discovered in time, I also think that Daqi will completely fall into war, and not only us will die, but also a large number of innocent people."
Yu Hanjiang said helplessly: "Now, the Eighth Prince's suspicion has become smaller. The person who killed Lin Shaobo was not a guard of the palace, but an outsider pretending to be a guard and sneaked into the palace - the focus has returned to this assassin organization."
Xiao Lou said: "Would you like to ask the girls at Tianxiang Tower?"
Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin into the dungeon.
The girls in Tianxiang Tower were starved for a day, and they were all downcast and lacked energy. Yu Hanjiang had someone deliver some food to them, and interrogated them one by one, focusing on the boss Aunt Qing.
However, Aunt Qing said with a blank look on her face: "People's girls don't know. The name of the dancer who assassinated the prince last night was Xue Yan. She came to Tianxiang Tower a year ago. She said that her parents died when she was young, and she relied on begging.
She is good-looking and can dance well. I took her in when I saw how pitiful she was. Who would have thought that she would assassinate the prince? What a injustice to a common girl!"
Other girls said the same thing. They all said that Xue Yan was taciturn when she was in Tianxiang Tower and had few friends. Everyone knew her only as "an orphan whose parents both died". As for her martial arts skills and the fact that she assassinated the prince during the performance,
Everyone said: they don’t know.
Yu Hanjiang couldn't find any clues, so he had to continue to lock up the girls in Tianxiang Tower.
At night, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou returned to the bedroom to rest.
While Xiao Lou was changing the dressing for his wound, he said with emotion: "We have been in this world for five days, right? If it had been in another secret room, the case would have been solved long ago."
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Don't worry, if the rebellion case is so easy to solve, the person who planned the rebellion would be too careless."
Xiao Lou thought about it and said with a smile: "It's really dangerous to be in the royal family, but it's more comfortable to be an ordinary commoner."
Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement. If he and Xiao Lou were really from this world, he would rather not become officials and live out his life as an idle couple with Xiao Lou.
But there is no way now, they must find out who is the one who wants to rebel as soon as possible.
…
The next morning, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou got up on time.
Mr. Shao said he wanted to treat Mr. Yu to breakfast, so he spent money to buy steamed buns and snacks from the most famous Zhuangyuan Building in Jiangzhou. He delivered them to his door with a smile and said: "I don't have enough brains to analyze the case, so I can only give you some."
Material support.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang sat down to eat steamed buns together. The steamed buns in this store are indeed delicious. Xiao Lou joked: "You really know how to enjoy it? Have you spent all the boxes of gold your father gave you?"
Shao Qingge waved his fan and said: "I haven't spent all the money, but it's a pity that I can't take it out."
While they were chatting, a government servant suddenly ran over in a hurry and said, "Sir, it's not good! There was a robbery in the Jiangzhou dungeon, and all the girls in Tianxiang Tower were rescued!"
Hearing this, the three of them were startled at the same time.
Shao Qingge was smiling and waving his fan beside him. When he heard that the yamen came to report that something happened in the dungeon, his mind immediately flashed to a guy dressed as a woman, eating snacks with his head down like a squirrel.
Shao Qingge closed the fan in his hand with a snap, and his expression changed instantly: "Ye Qi is also in the dungeon."
Yu Hanjiang asked in a deep voice: "Where is Miss Ye?"
The yamen servant said: "Ye, Miss Ye is also missing!"
Xiao Lou said: "Go and have a look!"
A group of people came to the dungeon quickly, and Shao Qingge strode toward the depths of the corridor - there was no one in Ye Qi's cell. His heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine!
Prison robbery? How could someone suddenly come to prison?
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Yesterday, these girls were fine when they were interrogated. However, 12 people were arrested in Tianxiang Tower, but now the dungeon is empty, not a single one is left.
Next to them, the government officials in charge of the night duty fell to the ground. Xiao Lou immediately walked over and tested their breathing with his hands.
Yu Hanjiang asked: "How is it?"
Xiao Lou said: "They are all breathing, and there are bruises on the back of their necks. They must have been knocked unconscious."
Yu Hanjiang was slightly relieved that the yamen servant was not killed. He looked at the person who came to report and asked in a low voice: "When was it discovered?"
The yamen officer said tremblingly: "When I came to change my shift this morning, my subordinates found that the two men who were on duty last night were fainted on the side. All three cells were empty. The girls from Tianxiang Tower were all missing. I immediately went there.
Report to the adults!"
It seems that the person who robbed the prison was the one who did it last night.
Shao Qingge looked ugly: "What about Miss Ye?"
The yamen officer also received his favor fee at that time. When he heard him ask, his face turned pale: "I really don't know."
Yu Hanjiang carefully looked around the scene. The lock of the cell was not picked open, but cut directly with a sharp sword. It seemed that the prison robbers had sharp weapons in their hands. They did not kill the yamen servants, but just knocked them unconscious from behind, indicating that they
They are not extremely evil people.
The prisoners currently being held in the Jiangzhou dungeon were not only the girls from Tianxianglou, but also some people who had committed other crimes were imprisoned on the other side. Yu Hanjiang walked over and took a look, and found that all of these people had also been knocked unconscious by the sweat medicine.
Xiao Lou said: "It seems that the prison robbers have a clear goal, not to hurt anyone, but to save the girls in Tianxiang Tower."
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "This doesn't quite resemble the style of the Assassin organization."
Shao Qingge's face looked a little ugly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Will Ye Qi be in danger?"
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew by his ears, as if a mass of air was moving. Then, Shao Qingge's sleeves were gently pulled by a pair of hands, and someone seemed to be writing in his hands.
Soft fingers quickly wrote a word in his palm: "Ye."
Shao Qingge: “…………”
This ghostly guy actually put on an invisibility cloak and followed everyone, making him worry in vain.
The look on Shao Qingge's face softened instantly. The guy was writing invisibly on his palm, just like a kitten scratching his palm. Shao Qingge couldn't help but chuckle and grabbed the transparent finger.
Although Ye Qi was invisible, his body was only transparent, not air. He could still feel it if he touched it. When Mr. Shao grabbed his finger, Ye Qi struggled hard, but found that he couldn't get away, so he simply gave up.
Following Mr. Shao, Yu and Xiao walked out of the dungeon together.
Shao Qingge whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear: "Ye Qi is following us like a spirit behind us. He may have something to say."
Ye Qi: "..."
What is the spirit behind? Can you describe it better?
Yu Hanjiang understood and asked the government officials to wake up those who had been stunned or knocked unconscious. The girls from Tianxiang Tower were wanted in the whole city. He took Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge to the backyard of the prefecture, walked into the study and closed the door behind him.
Shao Qingge chuckled and said, "Xiaoye, come out."
Ye Qi then took off his invisibility cloak and revealed himself in front of the three people.
Seeing that his hair was messy and his clothes were dirty, Shao Qingge couldn't help but feel soft and asked: "What happened last night? You weren't hurt, were you?"
Ye Qi shook his head and said excitedly: "Damn it, I was really scared to death last night. It was like a Hollywood blockbuster! Two men in black flew over from outside, and one of them had a tall palm like that.
He knocked down the two guards on duty easily, and the other one took the white powder in his hand and sprinkled it over there, and all the other prisoners were stunned!"
Xiao Lou couldn't help but laugh when he saw him dancing and gesticulating while vividly describing the scene last night. He poured a cup of tea to him and said, "Speak slowly and drink some water first."
Ye Qi took the tea and moistened his throat, and continued: "I noticed something was wrong at that time, so I immediately shrank into the quilt and pretended to sleep. The two people walked to the place where the girls in Tianxiang Tower were imprisoned, and split the chains with a few swords.
After saying, 'Aunt Qing, the master asked us to rescue you,' Aunt Qing didn't seem surprised at all. She woke up the girls in Tianxiang Tower and followed them."
"Then a woman asked, 'How many people are imprisoned in Tianxiang Tower, is the number correct?' Aunt Qing said, 'Miss Ye is not one of ours, don't worry about her,' and they left in a hurry." Ye Qi scratched his head,
He said, "Fortunately, I was locked up in a cell alone, and I was pretending to be asleep at the time, so they ignored me. If I had been awake at the time, I might have been silenced."
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "A man and a woman are here to save people?"
Ye Qi nodded: "That's right."
Xiao Lou pointedly asked: "Is the woman Xue Yan?"
Ye Qi's eyes widened: "Ah, I was about to say that! Although that woman was dressed in black and had her face covered, I recognized her eyes and eyebrows. She was the assassin Xue Yan, Xiao... who assassinated the prince that day...
Madam Yu, how did you guess that?"
Xiao Lou smiled slightly and said: "It seems that this assassin organization has finally surfaced. The girls in Tianxiang Tower are not clear. Except for Xue Yan, who has martial arts skills and assassinated the prince, the other girls may be responsible for collecting clues; yesterday
The masked man in black probably also pretended to be a guard and sneaked into the palace that afternoon, intending to commit murder, but was caught by Master Lin, so he killed Master Lin to silence him. Aunt Qing is the owner of Tianxiang Tower, and she arranged the performance.
, it will be very easy for her to bring people into the palace."
Yu Hanjiang said solemnly: "It seems that the entire Tianxiang Tower is an assassin and intelligence organization."
Ye Qi: “…………”
It's so scary to hear that! He's so lucky to be able to survive in Tianxiang Tower.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Our previous reasoning has gone awry. His Majesty gave the prince a secret letter, maybe because he wanted to join hands with the prince to investigate the rebellion case. Now, the Tianxianglou organization has revealed its true face, and the 'master' behind them is the case.
