Tang Jianqiu's eyes flashed. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, he could only suppress this emotion habitually and changed his words:
"The Marquis is joking. Mr. Tang encountered an assassin a few days ago. He is currently recovering in the hospital. He cannot come to see the Marquis. I hope you will forgive me."
"Master Tang was injured? How come you didn't hear him talk about this matter? Is it important?"
Murong Jing was hypocritical. On the surface, he really cared about Tang Jianqiu, but in fact, he wished he was dead;
Tang Jianqiu said: "It's not a serious injury. Mr. Tang was afraid of wasting time and making the Marquis anxious, so he ordered me to rush to see the Marquis and hope that the Marquis wouldn't blame him."
"I see. May I ask why the imperial envoy sent you here?"
He always felt that the other party came here for more than just this purpose, and that he might be deceitful.
Tang Jianqiu didn't hold back when the opportunity came. He cupped his hand and said straight to the point: "Master Marquis doesn't know something. I heard from Mr. Tang that I met a man named Aji on the road earlier.
He said that his family was being persecuted. Judging from the clothes of the other party, he looked like an officer or soldier from the Marquis's residence.
Originally, this case involved the Marquis's house, it was a serious matter, and I cannot make a conclusion based solely on the other party's words. What did the Marquis think? "
The reason why Tang Jianqiu said this was not to take the initiative to expose his identity, but to take this opportunity to deceive him, so he could infer it from the other party's reaction.
But who would have thought that Murong Jing was a person who couldn't keep his temper and became obviously impatient after hearing what Tang Jianqiu said.
He stood up directly, forcing himself to calm down, with his back to Tang Jianqiu, and his words were very dissatisfied:
"Oh, I have never known each other and have no connection with that family. This is just childish talk and cannot be trusted!"
Even though the other party tried his best to hide his evidence, Tang Jianqiu discovered it, not to mention that his words were full of flaws. You must know that Tang Jianqiu did not mention the other party's age from the beginning of the conversation.
"Oh? Forgive me for being presumptuous. Since Lord Marquis Yan Ming and him have never met each other, how could he blurt out that the other party is a child? Isn't this a contradiction in terms of attacking each other?"
"you……"
The Marquis suddenly choked up. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a suitable word.
He didn't expect that he would get into such trouble because of his quick talk, but fortunately, at least the matter was not irreversible and could still be rectified.
So he changed his words: "I just heard about it,"
After this conversation, Tang Jianqiu was basically certain that the case was indeed closely related to him.
Of course, this only proves that he was somewhat involved in the matter, and Xiaomei was in the Hou's mansion at that time. Only Aji appeared at the scene and witnessed the whole incident, and they just listened to what he said.
Tang Jianqiu knew very well that with his own ability, he was more than enough to deal with the entire officers and soldiers in the Marquis' Mansion.
It would be unjustifiable to convict him without some solid evidence, not to mention that the other party also has an identity that everyone fears, so it is naturally better not to expose this situation at the moment;
He can only be selective in this matter.
Tang Jianqiu stood up and took the initiative to give a half salute, then excused himself because he had something to do.
"Master Marquis, please excuse me for intruding. It's already late now, and I still have to deliver business to Mr. Tang, so I won't bother you any more."
Seeing that Tang Jianqiu was not suspicious about this, Murong Jing was slightly relieved, but even so she still had doubts;
"Please, come, give me a treat for your distinguished guest."
"Yes! This way please."
A rough man led the way to Tang Jianqiu.
After Tang Jianqiu left, Mr. Hou's face changed instantly. He didn't know if he realized that this matter was detrimental to him. His wolf-like eyes were still a little angry.
"Master Hou, Master Hou——"
It happened that the evil slave rushed back to the Marquis's house at this time. He was in a very embarrassed state, like a dog soaked in the rain, and could only wag his tail to beg for mercy.
With his arms broken, he was like a walking penguin. Murong Jing was a little unhappy when he saw his kindness. Considering that he was also his own servant, he still said patiently:
"How did you become such a virtuous person? What a shame!"
"Master Marquis, you don't know! It can be said that I have suffered a great injustice during your absence!" The evil slave knelt on the ground with a plop, thus starting a complaint.
He told everything that happened to him and made some manipulations in the article.
Of course, most of what was said here was beneficial to him. As for the provocation he made in the first place, he didn't even mention a word, as if Tang Jianqiu and the others were the heinous criminals;
He shed tears as he spoke, as if he had been greatly wronged, and almost hugged the other person's legs and howled bitterly;
Murong Jing was instantly furious after hearing this. He slapped the table angrily and wished he could split the table in half.
"It's really unreasonable! It's just too much!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that the other person is a person with no identity. How can he not be angry?
Seeing Murong Jing react like this, the evil slave was not surprised at all. As he spoke, he knelt and walked forward, pleading:
"Master Marquis, you must make the decision for me! I have already revealed your name, but instead of giving you face, that guy even said who the Marquis is? He will do it!"
Of course, the above content was purely his own. He even thought of something more outrageous, but who would have thought that Murong Jing couldn't help it before he finished speaking.
"Son of a bitch!"
Murong Jing was rude on the spot. He couldn't stand listening anymore and slapped the evil slave on the spot.
Murong Jing's strength was not very strong, but it was this slap that made the evil slave's eyes so bright that stars appeared in his eyes. He was stunned for a while before he could react;
"Master Marquis, why did you hit me? This is not what you said!"
"Shut up! Did I ask you to speak? It's so arrogant! It really makes me angry! Ahhhhh!!"
He has never suffered such great humiliation since he was a child. If he meets him again, he will definitely grind that guy into flour!
"Master Marquis, don't be angry. Leave this matter to the younger brother. I promise to give him..."
It was Murong Jing's confidant who spoke. As he spoke, he made a motion of wiping his neck to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
These words really touched Murong Jing's heart. He did have such an idea, but the situation was relatively tight at the moment.
It's okay if others know about this matter, but it would be troublesome if the imperial envoy Tang Jianqiu, who was acting on behalf of the emperor, found out. If he got a bad name, the consequences would be huge!
Killing was not an option, even killing him was not an option. After some struggle, Murong Jing still acquiesced to the other party's plan;
"Remember to do it closely so that no one can find out."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." The confidant smiled with a sly eyebrow, his face was shiny and he looked vulgar.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyu also successfully completed the task assigned by Tang Jianqiu, successfully obtained the evidence of Murong Jing's corruption and perverting the law, and left the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.
It will probably take a while until they find out.
Fang Xiaoyu was overjoyed, but fearing that there were too many people and a big target, he kept a certain distance from Tang Jianqiu.
He calculated the time in his mind, and only came forward when he was sure it was almost time.
Considering that there were people around, he didn't take it out blatantly. He just whispered in Tang Jianqiu's ear with a little tip:
"Sir, my subordinate has already obtained it!"
"Very good, I did not misjudge you. By the way, did anyone in the Hou Mansion notice when you came out?"
This is very important to Tang Jianqiu. If someone discovers it, their efforts will be in vain.
"Sir, don't worry when I do this."
Although Fang Xiaoyu is not as strong as the other Jin Yiwei in terms of strength and speed, his Qinggong skills are more than enough.
"Okay, come back with me first to think about the next countermeasures."
"yes!"
It was already dark when the two of them arrived at the inn where other Jin Yiwei lived.
When Ah Fei saw that Tang Jianqiu was back, he had a flattering look on his face, as if a maid wanted to come forward and squeeze his shoulders to show courtesy, "Sir, you are back, how about I give you a massage?"
"No, Fei, let's get down to business. Now we have obtained the evidence of Murong Jing's crime, which is this account book. Send a few brothers to check if there is anything wrong with this account book."
Tang Jianqiu also wanted to be on the safe side. If one person had a problem, there might be an error. It would be the most effective way to have a few more people check the calculation;
"Hey, little girl, I haven't seen you for a few hours, so why are you acting like a pretty boy?"
Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei couldn't help but laugh at Fang Xiaoyu, mainly because she looked a bit like a girl, but the key was that she was still small and had fair skin, so she didn't look like a man at all.
"Master Qianhu, your appearance is very different. Everyone has his own ambitions. My Qinggong is the most outstanding among all the brothers. Don't you deny this?"
"That's nature, that's nature! Hahaha!"
Deputy Qianhu looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said nothing.
"Sir, the subordinates you told me earlier have done their best to complete it. Now they have found evidence of the Marquis' crime. I found that there is still a lot of evidence of the crime of that guy, and it is difficult to tell him in person..."
Ah Fei was a little confused, and considering that there were so many people and many eyes, it was hard to speak.
"say."
Tang Jianqiu was mentally prepared. Ah Fei thought about it again and again. He first looked at the brothers around him, then stepped forward and said something to Tang Jianqiu. After hearing this, Tang Jianqiu became furious and yelled on the spot:
"brute!"
Tang Jianqiu's eyes were filled with fire, his gaze was horrifying, and his cold face was like a ghost in the eighteenth level of hell, which made people shudder;
If we cannot redress our grievances, how can we be worthy of the people of Xianning County?
The more Tang Jianqiu thought about it, the angrier he became. His body could not control his trembling, and even the hand holding the cup became a little unsteady.
He will definitely make the decision for the local people!
…
Late at night, eight assassins dressed in black sneaked into the inn where Tang Jianqiu was staying.
They came to the roof, and the package was very tight, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
And among them were Murong Jing's cronies!
The look in the confidant's eyes suggested that they should split up. He was fully confident that he could easily remove Tang Jianqiu's head!
I don't know what method he used to find out where Tang Jianqiu lived. He was even more proud of having the support of his brothers.
He tiptoed towards the room where Tang Jianqiu was. In order to prevent Tang Jianqiu from waking up in the middle, they even used incense to break the window paper.
The scent spreads very quickly, permeating the entire room in no more than a few breaths.
The cronies figured that time was almost up, so they called on the brothers around them to take action!
Their movements became more and more bold, and finally they reached Tang Jianqiu's bed.
Seeing that this person was wrapped in quilt, the confidant didn't have the slightest excuse, so he just stabbed him down!
However, as soon as the knife fell, he felt that it felt wrong.
He seemed to realize something, and immediately pulled out the scimitar that was stuck in the quilt, and opened the quilt!
The picture presented in front of him made his pupils dilate, but he actually didn't hit anything.
If that's the case, what about others?
Just when he was surprised, there was a sound of his neck being twisted and broken from behind, which made the henchman with a guilty conscience break out in cold sweat.
Damn... I was actually discovered!
Then there were several more sounds of brittle bones, and then the moment the body fell to the ground. At that moment, the confidant felt the fear of death.
Fortunately, this man was quite agile and used his agility to avoid Tang Jianqiu when he was about to get close to him.
He rolled on the ground, then turned over and took up a defensive posture, waiting for Tang Jianqiu's next move.
Tang Jianqiu's face was stern, and a cold light flashed in his eyes without any warmth.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the confidants could only speak loudly: "Boy, I was careless, and your burial place will be where you are today!"
Tang Jianqiu's response was just a sneer: "Kill me? Ha! It's not that easy!"
