Back at the Hou Mansion, Zhao Zi returned to his yard angrily. She drove the servants out of the room and sat there sulking. Ever since she first met Liu Yunqing, she couldn't control her emotions. He always targets Liu Yunqing, but in the end he always gets very angry.
"Miss, there is good news." About a quarter of an hour later, Jin'er walked in happily.
"There is no good news. There has been no good news since I came to Fuchang County." Zhao Zi sighed helplessly. He was originally very happy today. Who knew that he would meet Liu Yunqing by such an unfortunate coincidence.
"Miss, this is really good news. When we left the mansion, Liu Yunqing summoned everyone in the mansion and asked them to take back all the unrealistic difficulties. The difficulties they raised now are all real difficulties. Although, The cost is not small, but it is completely within the range we can afford. When we solve the matter, the Marquis will definitely be impressed by the young lady." Jin'er heard about the servant's return, so she inquired about it, and it only cost a little Yinzi knew what Liu Yunqing had done.
"What's so exciting about this? It wasn't Liu Yunqing who helped." Hearing that it was Liu Yunqing who summoned everyone, Zhao Zi would rather stick to the original list of difficulties.
"Miss, why can't you understand? Liu Yunqing clearly knows what the lady is thinking, so why would she help? There can only be one reason, and that is that the Marquis asked her to help. Even if she doesn't want to, she has to help the lady." Jin'er analyzed clearly and logically.
"Yes, Liu Yunqing has no reason to help me, it can only be Brother Jing. It seems that although Brother Jing doesn't see me, he is always paying attention to me. I just sorted out the list of difficulties yesterday, and Brother Jing figured out a way to help today. Jin'er, you must handle this matter well and let Brother Jing know that we sincerely want to help everyone solve their difficulties." After hearing Jin'er's analysis, Zhao Zi's mood immediately improved.
Back at Qingyun Courtyard, Xia Jingyao originally wanted to talk to Liu Yunqing about Jiang Heng. Although, the previous investigation did not find anything. But Xia Jingyao always felt that Jiang Heng was not an ordinary person and would not be friends with Liu Yunqing for no reason. However, before Xia Jingyao could say anything, He Wu found Xia Jingyao and reported it.
"Sir, it is now certain that Yanyu Tower is the location of Mingyue Sect's headquarters. And the mastermind behind the two assassinations pointed to the Sheriff's Mansion. Moreover, the Sheriff's Mansion does not have an employment relationship with Mingyue Tower, but more like a subordinate relationship. Relationship. Therefore, the person behind Mingyue Tower is most likely Xiao Cheng. We are seizing the time to collect evidence, but Xiao Cheng is very careful. It may take some time to get ironclad evidence." He Wu said according to the investigation Intelligence and reasonable analysis.
"Why would a feudal official, a Jianghu organization, do this? For money, there are still other ulterior motives. If it is just for money, assassinating the ministers of the DPRK, it seems that the gain outweighs the loss. He Wu, you will do it before Find out the information about the ministers who were assassinated, see what they did before they died, and see if we can find anything in common." Xia Jingyao had only thought that the Mingyue Sect was a mysterious Jianghu organization, but he did not expect that he would also have an affair with a high-ranking official. Got into a relationship. It seems that things are more complicated than I thought.
"Sir, we have already had a bad relationship with the county governor. Just in case, do we need to mobilize some people into the city?" He Wu considered Xia Jingyao's safety.
"Yes, but we have to enter the city in batches and don't let anyone find out." Xia Jingyao thought for a moment and agreed to He Wu's suggestion. Now that Liu Yunqing and Zhao Zi are here, we have to be even more careful when doing things.
At this time, in the study room of the Sheriff's Mansion, Xiao Cheng was sitting in front of the desk, and Butler Xiao was standing opposite him.
"Master, the person who monitored the Yanyu Tower was found to be Xia Jingyao. I'm afraid that when Xia Jingyao came to Fuchang County this time, he came to the Mingyue Gate." After discovering that the Yanyu Tower was under surveillance, Butler Xiao sent people to counterattack. reconnaissance. It's just that the people who monitored it were too careful, and they didn't find out until now.
"Everyone thought that Xia Jingyao was promoted openly and secretly, and was abandoned by the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor was trying to deceive others and secretly set up Chen Cang. Before, I said that I could not kill the courtiers, but I just didn't listen. In this world, , there is no airtight wall. Since it has been exposed, there is no need for the Mingyue Gate to exist. It must be done cleanly and without leaving any hidden dangers." Xiao Cheng ordered expressionlessly. To him, those human lives were not worth mentioning at all.
"Yes, sir, I will take care of it. Sir, how will Xia Jingyao deal with it? I don't know how much information he has found, and whether it will be detrimental to the master." Butler Xiao will execute Xiao Cheng's orders without hesitation.
"Before, there was Mingyue Gate, where people could assassinate without restraint, but now we have to take a long-term approach. You lead people to formulate a plan, and it must be foolproof and kill with one strike. Xiao Ming has been having trouble with him to see if he can find a breakthrough from him. "Xiao Cheng will never be merciful when dealing with people who threaten him.
"Yes, sir." Butler Xiao bowed respectfully and exited the study.
As night falls, the lanterns come on. In front of the door of Yanyu Tower, several girls were soliciting customers. Dandy boys, some talented scholars, fat merchants and rich people, and officials who like to spend time and wine, all enter the Yanyu Tower in an endless stream. Here you can temporarily forget your worries and worries and have unbridled enjoyment. Some people work hard all day just to enjoy this moment in the evening. The tender beauty, the drunken wine, the sweet music, and the moving dance are like heaven and earth.
After a lot of enjoyment, people who are short of money reluctantly leave this gentle hometown. Those who had good rules in the family also left one after another before Zi Shi. Only a few people would stay in the building after Zi Shi, and almost all of them were dandy children. When the singing and dancing stopped, the hustle and bustle returned to silence, and the men and women who had played together all night fell asleep. Countless people wearing black clothes and covering their faces, holding swords and crossbows, quickly approached the Yanyu Tower. The spy of the Hou Mansion who was responsible for monitoring Yanyu Tower wanted to turn around to report, but was beheaded the moment he turned around.
The man in black has neat steps and looks well-trained at first glance. Arriving in front of the Yanyu Building, some people consciously dispersed around the Yanyu Building to prevent anyone from escaping from the Yanyu Building. Others entered the building one after another, going to each room with great purpose. A massacre began, and many people were sleeping and would never wake up. When the man in black came to the backyard, the Mingyue Sect disciples who were standing guard in the dark rose up to resist after warning him, but were quickly killed in a pool of blood. Upon hearing the warning, the Mingyue Sect disciples stood up in panic. Some of them were killed before they could even get their weapons.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and except for the man in black, there was no other living person in the entire Yanyu Building. The master of the Mingyue Sect and the guardians on his left and right were all shot to death in the secret room by random arrows. The man in black quickly left Yanyu Tower with his comrades who were killed and injured in the battle. Before leaving, he set a fire from the inside out. By the time it was discovered, the fire was already difficult to extinguish.
