Cui Qiao scratched the back of her head and said with a smile, "This is what Yu Shisan gave me. He said that if you want to find him, just use this."
Hearing Cui Qiao's words, Jiang Nianjiao always felt something strange. Wasn't Yu Shisan the person given to him by Zhao Yanzhen?
Now shouldn't this person give him the bamboo whistle directly so that he can contact him more easily?
Cuiqiao was obviously a little embarrassed when Jiang Nianjiao stared at her like this, "Girl, why are you looking at me like this?"
Jiang Nianjiao heard this and said softly, "You and Shisan have a good relationship."
Cui Qiao's face turned red. She scratched her cheek guiltily and said, "Actually, it's not very good. He gave me this just to make it easier for me to send messages to the lady."
Jiang Nianjiao looked at Cui Qiao's slightly red cheeks. Naturally, she didn't believe Cui Qiao's words at all. It seemed that the two of them were afraid of something. Jiang Nianjiao just smiled and said in a long voice, "I don't think this thing is for my own good. It’s for yourselves.”
Cuiqiao's face turned red and she said nothing.
Then Jiang Nianjiao turned to look at Su Zhirou who was standing aside. Su Zhirou only tested the water from this source. Not surprisingly, the water was indeed full of silverfish.
Su Zhirou looked at the water and couldn't help but muttered, "This person was infected with the epidemic when there was no epidemic before. Could it be that this person is responsible for the current epidemic?"
Jiang Nianjiao was not surprised at all that Su Zhirou could think beyond this level. She nodded and said, "You are right, this water source is the source of all water sources in the city."
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Su Zhirou couldn't help but take a deep breath.
But then, when Jiang Nianjiao was about to say something else, a hidden arrow suddenly shot straight at her from a treetop not far away.
Fortunately, Cui Qiao reacted quickly and immediately hugged Jiang Nianjiao and ran away.
Seeing that the shot missed, the man hiding in the treetops only shot several more feather arrows in succession. And this time their target was no longer just targeting Jiang Nianjiao alone, they were shooting directly at the four archers.
Luo Hua hugged Su Zhirou, while Cui Qiao pulled Jiang Nianjiao to escape.
Seeing the arrows miss.
The assassin hiding in the tree finally no longer just performs long-range attacks. Among them, the masked man in black suddenly attacked in the direction of Jiang Nianjiao and Su Zhirou.
The number of these people is several times greater than mine, and all of them have good martial arts. If there were only Cuiqiao and Luohua here, they might be able to escape. However, at this moment, neither Su Zhirou nor Jiang Nianjiao is good at martial arts, so they can cope with it like this. , then it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.
Fortunately, although Jiang Nianjiao didn't know kung fu, she still had a crossbow. With this crossbow, she could barely help Cui Qiao.
Therefore, Cui Qiao was not so embarrassed when dealing with the two of them, but Luo Hua on the side was not so lucky. Seeing a man in black sneak up behind Luo Hua and attack, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but shout, "Be careful."
However, Luo Hua still failed to notice, and then Luo Hua was suddenly slashed on the shoulder. Su Zhirou was so frightened that she let out a soft cry.
"Miss Luohua, please leave me alone. I don't want to get you involved." Su Zhirou said anxiously. ..
Luo Hua didn't have time to talk nonsense with her. She could only concentrate at the moment, but even so, Luo Hua was attacked several times. Seeing Luo Hua showing signs of decline, those people were naturally ready to split up one of them to deal with Cui Qiao.
But before the man came over, he was shot in the neck by a dart, and then the man fell straight to the ground.
At the same time, the man who shot the darts also joined the battle, and the person who came was none other than Yu Shisan. Seeing the situation here, Yu Shisan naturally wanted to help Cui Qiao subconsciously, but Cui Qiao just glared at him and said "You'd better go help Luo Hua first."
Cui Qiao spoke directly, so Yu Shisan naturally had no choice but to obey.
With the addition of Yu Shisan, Luohua's pressure was naturally reduced a lot, and the current crisis between the two of them was resolved.
After dealing with the sneak attack, Yu Shisan headed towards Cuiqiao first. He asked with concern, "Are you okay? Who did you provoke?"
Cui Qiao's face turned red and she said, "What can happen to me? I didn't recruit this person. It's the eldest lady who wants to find something for you. You'd better listen to me quickly."
It's about that. "
After saying this, she pushed people towards Jiang Nianjiao.
Su Zhirou was busy treating Luo Hua's wounds at this time.
When Jiang Nianjiao saw Yu Shisan coming, she was also afraid that those men in black would leave again and come back. So she just pointed at the corpse and told Yu Shisan its origin and what they had gained today.
After that, she said in a short story, "This person is the source of this epidemic. If I guessed correctly, this epidemic is probably caused by someone who deliberately planted the disease here. However, the yamen in the west of the city are not very reliable, and I am afraid of creating complications, so You'd better tell your master about this as soon as possible."
After receiving the notice, Yu Shisan nodded naturally, and then he only blew the bamboo whistle a few more times, but added a few more secret guards to protect Jiang Nianjiao.
After the number of people increased, he left with confidence.
When Yu Shisan returned to the palace, Zhao Yanzhen was listening to the reports of the ministers in the Qianyu Palace. Although this was just a small court meeting, because it was a troubled time now, there were often unfulfilled government orders in various places, and suddenly The court hall only became a battlefield for various factions to fight with each other.
After everyone left, Zhao Yanzhen stayed here to approve the memorial.
He didn't put down the memorial until Yu Shisan's call for permission came from outside the door.
Thirteen is the bodyguard he arranged beside Jiang Nianjiao. Generally speaking, when he asks for a meeting, it is probably because Jiang Nianjiao wants to see him for something.
Therefore, he only signaled the palace people to let Yu Shisan in.
After Yu Shisan came in, he didn't even raise his head. "Tell me, what does she want from me?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yanzhen's question, Yu Shisan only glanced at the person guarding the room.
Zhao Yanzhen obviously did not raise his head, but seeing that Yu Shisan did not say a word, he said to the people around him as if he had expected it, "You guys go down first."
It wasn't until all the palace people waiting in the inner room had left that Yu Shisan said, "Miss Nianjiao and Miss Zhirou, the four of them went to the west of the city."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen stopped writing. He just rubbed the root of his nose very tiredly, then frowned and whispered, "What are they going to the west of the city for?"
"Back to Your Highness, Miss Nianjiao and the others discovered the source of the epidemic in the west of the city, and it seems that this epidemic is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. And the source of the culprit is a corpse infected with silverfish."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen said nothing. He only raised his chin slightly to signal the other party to continue speaking.
"The man returned to Huai'an to visit relatives, and then disappeared mysteriously. When he was found again, he was found dead at a water source in the suburbs, which is the source of all water sources in the city."
"And according to Miss Su Zhirou's detection, the body was already dead. It was also at that time that a large-scale epidemic broke out in the city."
Zhao Yanzhen didn't seem surprised when he heard this, but his brows were furrowed. He only asked in a low voice, "They weren't attacked, were they?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanzhen would guess this. Yu Shisan swallowed with a guilty conscience, and then whispered, "My subordinate neglected his duty. When my subordinate arrived at that time, Miss Jiang and the others were indeed attacked."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen glanced at Yu Shisan coldly.
Yu Shisan hurriedly said, "But don't worry, Your Highness, although Miss Jiang was attacked, she was not injured."
After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Yu Shisan asked in a low voice, "But Miss Jiang has detained the body at the moment. Of course, my subordinates have also called on a few brothers who are on duty nearby to protect Miss Jiang. She wants to ask His Highness what he plans to do with the body."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen only said, "Send a few people to send her back, and then find a few Suzaku people to investigate the matter. She doesn't need to worry about the rest."
After Yu Shisan got the order, he was about to leave. However, Zhao Yanzhen didn't know what he thought of, so he just said to Yu Shisan, "Wait a moment."
Yu Shisan turned around in confusion and waited for his orders.
Zhao Yanzhen then said, "First go and notify Suzaku's people to dispatch, and then go find His Royal Highness Prince Liang and let him take care of his people."
Yu Shisan received the order and naturally followed it.
Now back to Jiang Nianjiao, they waited where they were, but no one came to cause trouble again.
Instead, it’s a handover
The people came over not long after, and looking at the delicate beauties kneeling on one knee in front of him, Jiang Nianjiao almost thought that she had made a mistake.
However, Zhao Nianze's secret guard next to him handled the handover work with the beauties very neatly.
Then the seemingly weak woman only inspected the body before taking it away.
With almost the effort of both front and rear feet, Yu Shisan and Zhao Nianze, who was leading the Jin Wu Guard team, came over.
The moment she saw Zhao Nianze, Jiang Nianjiao almost thought that she had handed over to the wrong person. Fortunately, Yu Shisan explained to Jiang Nianjiao in a low voice.
And Su Zhirou obviously didn't expect Zhao Nianze to come over.
Maybe he was dissatisfied with Su Zhirou's behavior of running out at this time, or maybe he was worried about Su Zhirou's safety.
There was clear displeasure on Zhao Nianze's face.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Su Zhirou asked softly.
Zhao Nianze turned over and dismounted, and glared at Jiang Nianjiao with a sullen face.
Then he took Su Zhirou's hand and planned to check her arm. It wasn't until he was sure that Su Zhirou was not injured that he said to Jiang Nianjiao with a serious attitude, "You brought Arou out? Do you know that the west of the city is dangerous?"
Jiang Nianjiao almost laughed angrily at Zhao Nianze, "Who brought whom out? Why don't you ask Medical Officer Su yourself."
Su Zhirou also knew that Zhao Nianze and Jiang Nianjiao didn't deal with each other, but she didn't expect them to be so unreliable.
Her face turned red, and then she whispered, "Your Highness, you are mistaken. I was the one who begged Miss Jiang to come out."
