Chapter 11 Lin Chenguang "Madam, please don't go. It's dangerous!"...

——————

At the residence of the prefect of Guangzhou, not far from Yancheng, He Shizhao was busy handling official business, working day and night, as was always the case. However, he probably didn't know that a group of assassins had already ambushed in the alley outside the residence.

They are just waiting for the biggest fat sheep to come here to check. They want to kill Prince Yan’s most outstanding and most popular eldest son in front of the king, making his succession unstable!

In the alley.

"His Highness Prince Qi ordered that the woman was merely incidental. If she could be captured alive, that would be best. Otherwise, she must not fall into the hands of Prince Yan. It would be best to kill her and put the blame on Prince Yan's mansion."

"But if we can kill Prince Yan, it will be a first-class achievement!"

"You must be on high alert. This prince is not easy to deal with."

——————

At night, under the flickering candlelight, Yan Siqing, who had just returned from dinner at Zhou's, was lost in thought about the day's events. Suddenly, she felt something soft and warm pulling her wrist. Startled for a moment, she held it tightly, then looked at the short statured boy who had passed Liu'er and the nanny and came to her side.

Zhao Zhao was full. One hand was stroking her bulging belly to help digest the food, while the other hand was holding her mother's wrist tightly.

"Are you full, mother? Is that why you're walking slowly like Zhao Zhao?"

The two mother and daughter looked very similar, at least in their delicate eyebrows and eyes. However, the daughter was plump and looked naive. Because she was full, her voice was soft and full, like a burp. The servants were curious to hear it, and Yan Siqing liked it even more. He leaned over and pinched his daughter's cheek, kissing her lips. "Zhao Zhao is really smart. Yes, she is as full as you. Let's walk slowly. The moonlight is just right, isn't it?"

"Hmm, slowly, like a little turtle..."

"That won't do. Mom, don't be a little turtle..."

There are so many monsters and beasts in the business world. She is hypocritical and dignified during the day, but now her words and actions towards her daughter appear gentle and delicate. The tender love of a Jiangnan woman is gently expressed between her eyebrows, eyes, lips and teeth.

The masked man lying on the roof had excellent eyesight and saw everything as usual. He was stunned for a moment, raised his sharp eyebrows, and looked at the woman silently for a long time, pinching his hot ears with his fingers.

To her daughter like this? Such tenderness is normal for a mother, but isn't she even more gentle and affectionate towards her husband?

The fingers pinching his ears tightened, and the fingertips pressed against the ear flesh, which made him shudder.

At this moment, the mother and daughter on the path in the rockery garden were whispering in the moonlight. The masked man took a closer look and found that the little girl looked roughly like her, except that her nose was more heroic, so she must have inherited her father's style.

As she was watching, Yan Yiqing was amused by Zhao Zhao. She hugged her daughter and bent down to kiss her pretty nose. A little bit of rouge remained on the tip of the little girl's nose, making it pink and tender.

"Zhao Zhao, are you going to be with A Niang forever? That won't work. You have to grow up..."

"Then mother isn't alone? No, grandpa is here, and father is here too."

Yan Siqing was slightly startled, her brows curved, "Yes, Daddy is here too, Mommy is not alone."

The news that Shen Cangyu had died in battle was a bolt from the blue for the Shen family, and the young bride had a hard time.

Maybe she spent all these years missing her late husband?

The servants felt somewhat sad when they heard this, and just as they were quiet, they found themselves at the edge of the lotus pond.

"Mother, the flowers are blooming."

Zhao Zhao had sharp eyes and saw the lotus buds on the water opening up in the moonlight.

Zhao Zhao was very lively and wanted to go over to see the flowers. Others, wanting to make their wives feel less sad, also crowded over to go over. However, Yan Siqing heard the noise and looked over at the lotus pond with a stern expression, "Don't go over there!"

The lotus closes at night, where will it bloom?

Unless the flower buds open due to external impact.

Something's wrong in that pool!

When calling out, the man would quickly step forward to embrace his daughter, but over there in the lotus pond...

The moonlight is silver, shining brightly on the water as it emerges from the lotus pond.

Several men in black jumped out from under the pool, waving sharp blades in their hands towards Zhao Zhao and Yan Siqing.

This is the inner courtyard. There are no male guards present, only a few maids and nannies.

In the past, there were patrols to ensure safety, but who would have thought that someone would be hiding under the lotus pond to avoid patrols, and wait until the mother and daughter came over before raiding.

The knife was merciless. How could a few maids and nannies stop him? He could just kill them one by one. As for the target mother and daughter, would they be killed?

No, it's catch.

The two fastest men in black rushed straight towards the two men in the chaos, especially Yan Siqing, who was their main target. However, if they wanted to control Yan Siqing and force him to submit, the little girl was the key.

They were close to the lotus pond, and the hand was about to successfully catch the mother and daughter.

Whoosh!!

The neat little arrow shot from the wrist crossbow on the roof instantly penetrated the man's solar plexus and killed him directly.

Not only this person, but also the few men in black closest to them, no matter how agile they are, can they be faster than such a long-range weapon?

But in the blink of an eye, the assassins were shot in the head or throat one after another.

Yan Siqing had already walked forward and hugged his daughter. He looked sideways in astonishment and saw a dark shadow on the roof. The other party was shooting at the enemy from a distance in the dark night, and never missed. He even shot an arrow through the neck and killed two people.

This small crossbow is too sharp, and the man is too powerful.

Not to mention that they were frightened, the few men in black who had just emerged from the lotus pond had never expected this back-up plan. Wouldn't the people left behind by Prince Yan have been stopped? Where did this terrifying crossbowman hiding here come from?

At this time, the guards had already rushed over after hearing the screams of the maids and nannies. Seeing this, several men in black secretly cried out that something was wrong and had to jump onto the roof and escape by leaping several times or hide in dark places in the mansion.

"Chase after them!"

"Over here, over here! All of you go over there!"

"Did you defend the old lady?!"

The guards didn't have the ability to climb high and low, so they could only chase after him with torches...

The whole house was filled with flames and the atmosphere was in turmoil.

Yan Siqing and her daughter were surrounded and protected. Yan Siqing comforted her daughter and turned around to see that the mysterious crossbowman on the roof had disappeared.

Zhao Zhao was quickly sent to Zhou's place. On the way, Yan Siqing heard the results of the housekeeper and others' search and pursuit. Two were caught, and three escaped.

Yan Siqing did not stay in the safe backyard. He took people out, saw the two people who were dragged out, and then heard the movement from the gate of the mansion.

"Someone was climbing over the wall outside and was spotted by the guards at the gate. A fight is underway."

"Madam, don't go. It's dangerous!"

Yan Siqing waved her hand and walked quickly towards the gate in the light of the torch, her skirt swaying.

As soon as the door opened, there was fire and the sound of fighting in the alley on the left side of the street. The surrounding residents were alarmed and the city patrol also rushed over, and He Zhihong was among them.

This person arrived very quickly and was always concerned about the Shen family's affairs.

Yan Siqing had just walked out of the door when he saw the county magistrate and naturally saluted.

"Madam, don't panic. The government will catch this sneaky assassin."

Yan Siqing thanked them and saw more than a dozen police officers rushing into the alley to help. They quickly captured the three men in black.

The situation was not so bad this time. The Shen family was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the anxious cries of other horses.

“Who is it?”

"He County Magistrate, you have no control over the situation. Bandits broke into homes and robbed and killed people during curfew. If things go wrong, Madam Shen will be bullied by them."

"Yeah."

A small group of soldiers and horses walked into the city on the street at night and arrived in front of them. The young man on the horse looked so familiar, and his hateful look was so hateful that even if Liu'er and others peeled off his skin, they would still recognize him with gritted teeth.

He was just a little more mature than he was three years ago, and seemed even more malicious and rampant. His words were still insulting and his eyes were becoming more ferocious and greedy. He locked his lock on the young lady who was as bright as jade under the light of the lamps and torches at the door.

This bastard!

Why is it him!

Wasn't he exiled to serve in the military because he committed a crime and was caught by Yan Siqing's uncle?

How did he come back? And he seemed to have received the rank of guard, dressed in military uniform, looking very respectable, and entered the city with a group of soldiers. This must have been officially ordered, otherwise it was a rule that ordinary people were not allowed to enter the city at night.

Everyone's heart sank. Yan Siqing had not expected that the Lin family's conspiracy had been uncovered in the daytime and the other party's next threat was planned that night.

Moreover, Lin Chenguang actually holds a public office.

She thought of it.

——The father and son of the Lin family attached themselves to someone in a high position. The other party absolved Lin Chenguang of his guilt and arranged a position for him. Naturally, Lin An also joined the other party's name.

How high a position of power would that be?

Yan Siqing was frightened, and she knew that Lin Chenguang came tonight not just to show off and humiliate her.

really.

"County Magistrate He, my Guangzhou Patrol Battalion's intelligence investigation has linked these three men in black to the Japanese pirates in the narrow city waters back then. The Shen family's ships are operating differently, so could they be connected? Whether they were victims or connected, a thorough investigation is necessary. Rest assured, as the Young Guard Captain, I, Lin Chenguang, will never treat Madam Shen badly. I will serve her well."

This person is really crazy. He is so malicious in front of the people of the city.

Feel confident and fearless.

The Shen family members were terrified when they heard this. Yan Siqing waved his hand to calm them down, while he faced Lin Chenguang calmly.

"Lin Shaowei, the ship theft has been reported to the police. County Magistrate He can testify. According to our dynasty's legal system, our Shen family is still the victim. There is no solid evidence to accuse our Shen family of involvement in the Japanese pirates' maritime smuggling. If we went to the Guangzhou Patrol Camp to participate in such a case, I am afraid it would be against the law."

Yes, the Shen family felt confident for a while.

But Lin Chenguang sneered, "Is that so? County Magistrate He, tell me, is that so?"

Everyone looked at He Zhihong. He Zhihong faced everyone's gaze, but his expression was unclear in the firelight.

For some reason, Yan Siqing felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
