"What do you mean?" Yang Cong was a little confused.
Seeing Yang Cong's reaction, the man frowned slightly and whispered to himself: "Didn't she do it?"
"Friend, how much do you want to promise not to tell anyone about this?"
Yang Cong also saw that the man in front of him was very skilled. It was probably impossible to kill him and silence him, so he could only buy him with money.
"Then it depends on how sincere you are." The man chuckled.
Yang Cong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
As long as there is a price, it's fine. I'm afraid it won't cost anything.
"You can make an offer, and I won't hesitate."
The man looked Yang Cong up and down and saw a green and white jade pendant hanging on Yang Cong's waist. He stretched out his hand and said, "I think your jade pendant is a good thing. It must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Yang Cong didn't hesitate and quickly took it off and handed it to the man.
"Why should friends be so polite? If they like it, then give it to them."
"That would be great." The man smiled and took the jade pendant in his hand to play with it.
Yang Cong saw this and asked: "So, my friend is satisfied?"
The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still want to ask for something from you."
"You said, whatever I have, I will give it to you with both hands."
The man smiled slightly, raised his hand and beat Yang Cong unconscious.
Here, Shen Qingyun and Zhong Qi are still waiting.
"Thank you two for your life-saving grace. I have nothing to repay. Even if I am a cow and a horse, I still want to repay these two noble people..."
Shen Qingyun waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be polite, old man. Miss Qiaoer is my friend, so I will naturally do my best to help you."
Do your best to help?
If Shen Qingyun was willing to help him, Qiaoer wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
Shen Qingyun did not have the intention to help Qiaoer get revenge before, and at most he only gave some small help.
It's just that Qiao'er helped Shen Qingyun just now, so Shen Qingyun should naturally respond.
Shen Qingyun's mentality should naturally change from this.
When mentioning Qiao'er, the old man's face became a little unnatural, but even though he was covered in filth, neither Shen Qingyun nor Zhong Qi noticed it.
"You are Qiaoer's friends."
"Yes." Shen Qingyun nodded, and then said to Zhong Qi: "Old Qi, go in and take a look at the situation."
Before Zhong Qi could reply, he saw the car curtain being opened, and an unfamiliar smiling face came into view.
"Shen Qingyun, right?"
"Who are you?" Zhong Qi quickly alerted, clenching his fists in preparation for attack.
The man smiled and said: "Don't get excited, I'm here to give you gifts."
Shen Qingyun was stunned and looked at the man with a frown.
"Have I seen you before?" Shen Qingyun felt that the man looked familiar.
The man smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I forgot. Your Majesty rewarded me with silver twice."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun was startled and came back to his senses: "It's you, are you the beggar?"
"The prince gave me money, so I have to return something to the prince."
"what?"
The man turned sideways, and Shen Qingyun looked along his fingers, only to see a person lying on the snow.
"Yang Cong?" Shen Qingyun got off the carriage and confirmed the identity of the person on the ground.
The man recounted to Shen Qingyun what he had just heard on Yang Cong's carriage.
"That's what happened. I wonder how the prince will deal with it?"
Shen Qingyun shook his head and said: "I didn't expect this person to be so vicious. He couldn't kill me, but he still wanted to frame me."
"It's too late to say anything now. No one should have discovered Zhou Bing's death yet, but it can't be hidden for long. Don't forget, the prince's jade pendant is still at the scene."
Shen Qingyun has no impression of the jade pendant, but he knows without thinking that it must be something that can prove Shen Qingyun's identity.
If found at the murder scene, it would definitely be used as strong evidence to identify the murderer.
Once Shen Qingyun is included in the suspicion, as long as Song Ying adds insult to injury, Shen Qingyun can be punished without telling Shen Xiong.
A not too clever, but definitely useful method.
After thinking about this, Shen Qingyun felt scared.
If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Cong's two choices tonight are considered foolproof.
One person killed Shen Qingyun directly in the Zhou Mansion. It was simple and direct, and would never cause further trouble. Zhou Binghui would take the blame.
The two are to kill Zhou Bing and leave clues about Shen Qingyun. When Yang Cong appears as a "witness", he can also kill Shen Qingyun.
Whether it was to be direct or to kill with a borrowed knife, Shen Qingyun almost fell into trouble here tonight.
"This is his thing. It's up to the prince what to do with it."
The man handed Yang Cong's jade pendant to Shen Qingyun. Shen Qingyun took the jade pendant and gently rubbed it, his eyes flickering.
"Lao Qi."
"exist."
The man's meaning has been made very clear. As long as Shen Qingyun's jade pendant is replaced by Yang Cong's, the person who adds insult to injury will change from Yang Cong to Shen Qingyun.
If the situation is reversed, no one will be able to help Yang Cong by then.
Of course Shen Qingyun also felt that this was a quite suitable method, but before he could tell Zhong Qi to do it, he heard chaotic shouts coming from the Zhou Mansion.
"problem occurs."
The man let out a soft cry, then jumped into the Zhou Mansion.
Shen Qingyun also said hurriedly: "Go quickly, we must find the jade pendant."
"yes."
Zhong Qi hurriedly followed.
But he said that Zhou Bing was dead. Although he was not killed by Qiaoer himself, it was still a great revenge.
After stabbing him twice to vent his anger, Qiaoer was ready to leave.
Just as he was about to go out, he met a servant who came to serve him.
The two sides bumped into each other, Qiaoer was shocked and left quickly.
The servant was naturally puzzled. When he saw the situation in the room clearly, he quickly screamed.
For a time, the entire Zhou Mansion was in chaos, and Qiaoer naturally became the murderer of Zhou Bing and was chased and intercepted.
Qiaoer used her sleeve arrows to knock down several servants who rushed towards her. However, she was a weak woman and her sleeve arrows could not be fired infinitely, so she was quickly controlled.
At this moment, a man landed from the sky next to Qiao'er, waving his hands, but countless hidden needles shot out.
"ah..."
All of a sudden, screams could be heard.
"Walk!"
The man pulled Qiaoer's shoulder and wanted to take her away.
But at this moment, an arrow flew over and grazed the man's shoulder.
The man was startled and suddenly looked up, only to see several figures standing on the roof.
The man's face darkened, Qiao'er saw this and said quickly: "Take me with you, you can't leave."
"But..." The man hesitated for a moment.
Qiaoer forced a smile and said: "I have achieved what I wanted and died without regrets. You don't have to lose your life for me."
Saying that, Qiaoer reached out and pushed the man, and at the same time stuffed the Qingyun Jade Pendant into his arms.
"Walk!"
The man gritted his teeth and then jumped away.
"Chase!"
Upon seeing this, the people from the Seventh Department hurriedly chased after the man, but Qiaoer was detained by the Zhou family's servants.
When Zhong Qi arrived, he happened to see Qiaoer being taken away.
Zhong Qi did not dare to act rashly, so he could only come back and tell Shen Qingyun about the matter.
"What? You said Qiaoer was arrested?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
"What happened..." Shen Qingyun's face darkened, "Where's the jade pendant?"
Zhong Qi shook his head, "Zhou Bing's room is guarded, and I can't get close."
Shen Qingyun asked again: "What about that person just now?"
"He ran away. Someone is chasing him. It should be someone from the Seventh Department."
"Seven parts?" Shen Qingyun was stunned, but he had no time to think about what seven parts were.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? If we can't get the jade pendant back, I'm afraid..." Zhong Qi was also a little anxious.
Shen Qingyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Qiao'er was arrested, the jade pendant is no longer important."
"Um?"
Regardless of whether Qiaoer discovers the jade pendant or not, as long as the jade pendant appears as evidence and the matter involves Shen Qingyun, Qiaoer will naturally help Shen Qingyun cover it up.
Whether she said she stole the jade pendant or robbed it, it had nothing to do with Shen Qingyun anyway.
On the other side, the man was chased all the way by people from the Seventh Division. He had been seriously injured and had not yet recovered. But when he regained his strength, his wound burst open instantly and the pain was unbearable.
"Damn it!"
The man looked back and saw that the people from the Seventh Department were chasing after him. They moved their hands and shot countless hidden needles.
But four figures suddenly appeared, blocking everyone with their flesh and blood bodies.
"It's Yulin Mountain again."
The man gritted his teeth and knew that his hidden attack had no effect on Yu Linshan, who was so well-trained, so he continued to run away without looking back.
Fortunately, although Yulinshan disciples are strong and not afraid of swords, speed is not their strong point.
The man gritted his teeth and persisted, but he could barely rely on his body skills to leave everyone behind.
Seeing that the people behind him couldn't catch up, the man got a chance to breathe. Just when he was about to relax, his heart suddenly jumped, and a spear swept from the side.
The man had no time to dodge, and was hit hard by the gun head in the chest. With a groan, he spit out a large mouthful of blood and fell from the air.
The moonlight was bright and the sky was filled with flying snow. Yue Lianshuang held a gun with one hand, facing the wind independently, with indifference and a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
"Princess Princess."
People from Yulinshan and Qibu arrived and greeted Yue Lianshuang.
"Go and capture him. He must be alive."
"yes."
Everyone took the order and dispersed in an instant.
Shen Qingyun was troubled here, but he could only leave Zhou Mansion temporarily.
Before the carriage had gone too far, a figure fell heavily in front of it, blocking the way.
"Your Majesty, it's that guy just now..." Zhong Qi recognized the man at a glance.
"Get him up quickly." Shen Qingyun said quickly.
"But Young Master, he is from Qi Bu..." Zhong Qi reminded.
"Bring him up." Shen Qingyun emphasized his tone and issued an unquestionable order.
"yes."
Although Zhong Qi hesitated, he still obeyed Shen Qingyun's order.
On the other side, Qibu and the people from Yulinshan also chased after them. They watched helplessly as Zhong Qi lifted the man onto the carriage. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Yue Lianshuang standing up with his spear drawn to stop everyone.
"Princess?" Everyone looked at Yue Lianshuang in confusion.
"Back off."
Of course, several Yulinshan people obeyed Yue Lianshuang's orders, but the people from the Seventh Department asked in confusion: "What does this mean, Princess? Why retreat when we are clearly right in front of you?"
Yue Lianshuang turned back and glanced at him coldly and said: "If you have the ability, you don't need Yulinshan to take action. Since your boss is dead, I am the one who makes the decision here. If I ask you to retreat, you will retreat. If you don't follow, die!"
Yue Lianshuang swung his spear horizontally, filled with murderous intent.
The man gritted his teeth and said: "We will naturally obey the princess's orders. Let's see how the princess will explain to the imperial capital."
"Then I won't bother you."
The people from the Seventh Department left angrily. Yue Lianshuang glanced at the direction Shen Qingyun left, then looked at Yang Cong's men, and ordered: "Take the people back first and ask them what they did."
