Back in her yard, Xi Duanhong waited in the yard. A figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was Ji Yu who she hadn't seen for a long time.
"What are you doing here? Do you have anything to do with me?"
Without saying a word, Ji Yu drew his sword and put it against Xi Duanhong's neck, "You betrayed the Imperial Master and Ji Xin Pavilion. I'm here to kill you."
"Betrayal? Even if I really betrayed, I am a traitor and even your master can't bear to touch me. Do you dare to kill me privately?" Xi Duanhong raised his hand with a smile and pushed the sword away, "Ji Yu, unless your master Order to kill me, otherwise, you can’t touch me at all!”
"The order I received is to hunt down Xi Duanhong until death."
Xi Duanhong was shocked. This man really had murderous intentions towards him. Xi Duanhong put his right hand on his waist and drew out the soft sword and stabbed Ji Yu. Xi Duanhong must have been injured after all. Out of strength, he fought and retreated. Just when Ji Yu stabbed at Mingmen with his sword, Xi Duanhong threw the sword away and flew away.
Ji Yu chased after her closely. Xi Duanhong ran away in the direction of Lei Qiu's residence without even thinking about it. She gasped for breath as she was hurt more than ever.
"Master Lei, help me, someone wants to kill me!" Xi Duanhong staggered to the door of Lei Qiu's room. Ji Yu, who was following him, gave up decisively when he heard the words and turned around quickly when Lei Qiu opened the door. leave
General Lei Qiu only saw a back figure, then looked at Xi Duanhong who fell outside his door, and helped him up, "What on earth is going on? You can still be hunted down in your own yard?"
"I just went back, and that man suddenly appeared and injured me. Ahem, I, Mr. Lei, I suspect that there is a traitor among the people you brought."
Lei Qiu settled Xi Duanhong in his room, "Impossible, who would dare to touch you while I am here?"
"Master Lei, to put it bluntly, when Tan Yanxian and I had a private chat that day, every line was full of dissatisfaction and disbelief towards you," Xi Duanhong silently observed Lei Qiu's reaction.
"I am the teacher's student. How can the teacher not trust me? Don't talk nonsense. If you continue to talk nonsense, I may kill you." Lei Qiu put the things sent by Jian Xingshang on the table. Ms. Xi, you’d better not play tricks.”
"I didn't lie. Don't you, Lord Lei, have any plans in your heart? Tan Yanxian restricted me and wanted Daqi's lifeline to be in his hands. Lord Lei, you will eventually become an abandoned son in his hands. Dare you not Dare to make this bet."
"Are you stupid to be the governor?" After saying this, Lei Qiu still sat down, "I just looked at the things I brought. I will have someone verify them tomorrow whether they are genuine or not."
"I'm in your hands now, how dare you say no," Xi Duanhong put the handprint he prepared in advance on the table, "I put the things here and you can check them at any time, but I still have to remind Mr. Lei, There will definitely be more than one or two problems among the people you brought.”
"Master Lei, please be careful."
Lei Qiu didn't say anything. He couldn't believe everything Xi Duanhong said, but he had to consider it.
"You stay here tonight and return to your courtyard tomorrow. The governor will send people to arrest the person who just chased you. After he is captured, he will be taken to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial." After that, Lei Qiu stood up and pushed the door open and went out. , leaving Xi Duanhong alone
Xi Duanhong knew that he would not leave, and he was indeed tired now, so he simply kicked off his shoes and got on the bed regardless.
God knows how many days she hasn't had a good night's sleep. The fatigue all over her body made her fall asleep quickly.
Early the next morning, Xi Duanhong woke up to a burst of noise, and someone happened to knock on the door.
"What happened? Why is it so noisy outside?" Xi Duanhong came out and asked, but the guard at the door did not answer her question.
Lei Qiu also walked out of the room, and the two of them looked at each other and walked out in unison.
"What did Master Lei think about what he said last night?"
"The governor will think carefully about what the female officer said. Did you really not see the person who came to assassinate you last night?"
The two walked forward side by side, "I have said everything that needs to be said, Mr. Lei, and I will leave the rest to you."
"Xi'er!" Qian Shengxue came to Xi Duanhong and checked carefully, "I was scared to death. I thought something happened to you when I saw you weren't in the room this morning."
Xi Duanhong shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm safe in Master Lei's yard. By the way, what happened this morning? Why is it so noisy?"
Qian Shengxue glanced at Lei Qiu who was beside Xi Duanhong, and lowered her voice and said, "Something happened. Someone killed someone in our house last night. One of them died and several guards were injured. Ji Yu was also injured."
Hearing this, Xi Duanhong was shocked. What was going on? Ji Yu wanted to kill him last night. Why was he seriously injured today? Who did it? It seems that what he saw last night was someone pretending to be someone.
"Master Lei, do you want to come with us to have a look?" Xi Duanhong invited him, "If you have something to do, I won't bother you much."
"It's okay, I'll go over there and take a look."
Under the leadership of Qian Shengxue, the three of them came to the front hall. Everyone gathered together to discuss. Seeing Xi Duanhong and others arriving, Jian Xingshang cleared his throat and said, "Did you see anything suspicious last night?" people?"
Xi Duanhong looked at Ji Yu without leaving a trace, "Someone pretended to be Ji Yu and came to kill me last night. I escaped by hiding with Mr. Lei. That person's attack was different from Ji Yu's. The killer was not a secret guard. "
"As a killer, there are always traces to follow," Jian Xingshang came to Xi Duanhong's side and protected him behind him, "Are you not injured?"
"It's okay. As soon as Mr. Lei came out last night, the man ran away, but there was no entanglement."
"Master Lei, it's very important whether the people around you are clean or not. I hope you'd better go check it out," Jian Xingshang was gentle and gentle to everyone. He didn't even explain the matter to Lei Qiu. No one could see a trace of anger, "Since it's cooperation, we have to make people feel at ease. Otherwise, it's meaningless, right?"
Lei Qiu understood, "This is natural. I will send someone to investigate right now."
Seeing Lei Qiu leaving, Xi Duanhong breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone hugged her back to the front hall.
Jian Xingshang pushed the tea in front of Xi Duanhong, "Yesterday Jiang Xian came with news that the price that had been suppressed was on the rise again. The Xu family secretly bribed the merchants to ask them to adjust the price back. Fortunately, Jiang Xian was in the middle, Moreover, Xu Feng also sent people to inquire about you, and it seems that he has a lust for you."
"By the way, Xi'er, do you remember that Jia Ping? He sent someone to send an invitation this morning. His wife's birthday party will be held two days later. It is said that all the famous and prestigious people in Jiangnan have invited. The Xu family should also be invited. "Hey, shall we go?" Qian Shengxue put the two invitations on the table.
Xi Duanhong's hand that was about to pick up the teacup paused, "I don't want to touch the Xu family so early, but he insists on rushing up to deliver it. In this case, there is no reason not to accept it. Ah Sui, tell Young Master Jiang , let the people under him relax, raise the price in these two days and let Lei Qiu and the third prince fight, let's not get involved in this matter."
"As for..." Before he finished speaking, Xi Duanhong felt his legs sink. A furry animal was lying on his legs and looking at him eagerly, "Stop!"
It was the cat he had adopted before. Maybe it was the cat he had called just now. Xi Duanhong stroked the soft fur and said, "As for the invitation, of course we are going. They are just trying to make a move. They just want to see if I am still there." If you’re not in Jiangnan, why don’t you take care of things?”
"Sister, I will be your bodyguard and protect you." Xi Zishu stood up and wanted to follow Xi Duanhong. In his opinion, this matter would be very dangerous.
"It doesn't matter, but was it you or someone else last night?" Xi Duanhong looked at the pale Ji Yu in the distance, "Why were you injured?"
"Miss, I was not at home last night. As for the injuries on my body, they were caused outside. I met a group of killers last night."
"So, there are two groups of people?" Qian Shengxue exclaimed, "Otherwise, why would people die in the courtyard, and Ji Yu was also seriously injured."
Jian Xingshang also frowned, "I'll send someone to investigate this matter. Ji Yu, please spread the news, but don't let anyone notice it."
"rest assured."
