Chapter 49: Did you catch him?
Loach's face turned pale, and he fell to his knees. "My lord, I really don't know! Ghost Hand ran away when he saw you. Did you know each other before?"
Xie Yan thrust the tip of his sword forward a little, "It seems you really don't want to live anymore."
Loach quickly said, "No, no, no! I'll tell you what I'm saying!"
Ruan Yunsheng looked at Niu Qiu. This man was so sincere just now. She thought he really knew nothing. Unexpectedly, he was actually acting?
Loach frowned, "I'm just a small fry. If I offend anyone, I'll be dead!"
Ruan Yunsheng frowned and asked, "Are you in cahoots with that guy? He's never even seen the Sun and Moon Jade Disk?"
"No, no, no!" Loach waved his hands quickly. "Ghost Hand is indeed the only person in the black market who has seen the Sun and Moon Jade Bi. I'm not lying about this!"
"I just let him know in advance that a big shot wanted to do business with him, but it was a big deal and there might be some trouble, so I told him to make plans in advance."
"But doing business in the black market is bound to be troublesome. Ghost Hand is too careless."
"I don't know your identity, sir, and you didn't mention the jade disc. Besides, the ghost hand escaped right under your nose. In short, this is really not my fault..."
If we alert the enemy tonight, it will be extremely difficult to find the ghost hand in the future.
Xie Yan said in a deep voice: "Where did he run to?"
Loach hesitated, "This..."
Xie Yan held his sword down a little more, his voice cold: "Or, do you want to see the King of Hell right now?"
Loach closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "He ran to the dense forest in the west. There is a secret exit over there."
"Hanying, Moying, protect the young lady and don't leave her side even a step." After Xie Yan finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and chased after her.
Ruan Yunsheng looked at his back and said anxiously, "Go after him too!"
Although Xie Yan had been learning martial arts from her father since she was a child, she actually didn't know how good Xie Yan's martial arts were.
Every time she and Xie Yan met, they had nothing to say to each other. Everyone in her family knew that she didn't like Xie Yan and would never mention anything about Xie Yan in front of her.
Mo Ying quickly said, "No, my mission is to protect your safety. Please wait here. I believe the master will be able to catch up with that person."
Ruan Yunsheng didn't have the patience to wait. She pointed at Niu and said, "Let him lead the way. Let's go after him together!"
Mo Ying had no choice but to point his sword at Loach and walk out.
Xie Yan had excellent martial arts skills and knew the direction in which Ghost Hand was escaping, so he quickly caught up with him in the dense forest near the dark river.
After a fight, Ghost Hand was hit by a palm and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, the secret guard also caught up and immediately drew his sword and put it on Ghost Hand's neck.
Guishou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and simply sat down against the big tree behind him.
He sneered, "I'm surprised that the illustrious Prince Xuan would even come to a place like the black market."
Xie Yan took a few steps closer, looked him down, and said coldly, "Did you steal the Sun and Moon Jade Bi?"
"If I remember correctly, you should be from the Taiwei Mansion. I have seen you before with Taiwei Sun."
Ghost Hand twitched his lips and smiled: "Since Your Highness knows that I am from the Taiwei Mansion, you should understand that you should not continue to investigate the theft of the Sun and Moon Jade Bi."
Xie Yan said nonchalantly, "This prince doesn't even take a mere Taiwei Mansion seriously."
Ghost Hand's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Prince Xuan, is investigating the theft of the jade disk for the sake of the eldest son of the Marquisate? Your Highness, you must think carefully about whether it is worth it to go against the Grand Marshal for the sake of the Marquisate!"
"You should know that the Grand Marshal is deeply trusted by the Emperor. If you can get the Grand Marshal's support, it will be a great help to the prince!"
"Your Highness is resourceful and talented in both civil and military matters, unlike that mediocre Prince Duan."
"At the beginning, General Sun wanted to marry the eldest daughter to you. If the prince agreed, you would be the crown prince now, so what would Prince Duan have to do with you?"
He patiently persuaded: "The Zhenguo Marquisate has long been in decline. If Your Majesty gets involved with them, there will be no good results."
"Your Highness can still turn back now. As long as you are willing to marry the Second Young Lady, the Grand Marshal can still abandon Prince Duan and support His Highness Prince Xuan!"
Xie Yan sneered: "Does Xie Huaiye know what General Sun is planning? Or, you can tell him this in person."
"Now, you only need to tell me where General Sun hid the Jade Disk of the Sun and Moon. If you can give me the clue, perhaps I can spare your life!"
Ghost Hand said anxiously, "The Taiwei Mansion has already laid a tight net. Anyone who goes there will die. Why is Your Highness so stubborn?"
Xie Yan was thinking about Ruan Yunsheng and didn't want to waste time here.
"Take him back to the palace and interrogate him slowly."
Seeing Xie Yan's firm attitude, Guishou knew that he could not leave.
He hardened his heart and suddenly gritted his teeth!
The secret guard immediately reached out to remove the ghost hand's jaw, but it was too late.
"Your Majesty, he has taken poison!"
Ghost Hand spit out blood and fell to the ground, "Those who betray the Taiwei Mansion will only live a life worse than death."
He stared blankly at Xie Yan and said haltingly, "Your Highness, do you really think that the loss of the jade disk...only implicates one, Grand Marshal Sun?"
Xie Yan's eyes darkened, and he wanted to ask again, but the ghost hand had already died.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard behind him. It was Ruan Yunsheng chasing after him.
Xie Yan immediately turned around and took her away from the corpse. "Didn't I tell you to stay where you are? Why are you here?"
Ruan Yunsheng grabbed Xie Yan and asked, "Where's the man? Did you catch him?"
The person behind the scenes who dared to attack the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion must be a powerful person, so she had to come.
Xie Yan sighed: "He committed suicide by taking poison."
Ruan Yunsheng asked again: "Did he say anything before he died?"
Xie Yan looked at Ruan Yunsheng hesitantly and did not speak for a moment.
Guishou said that this matter not only involves General Sun, so who else is involved, Prince Duan?
Or maybe...
Ruan Yunsheng said sternly, "Xie Yan, this princess is asking you, what did he say? If you dare to conceal or lie, you will never get the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass in your life!"
Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled, "He said... the Sun and Moon Jade Bi is indeed in the Taiwei Mansion."
Ruan Yunsheng let go of her hand. She had anticipated this.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to enter the attic that day at the Taiwei Mansion.
If only I could find another chance to go there...
Xie Yan observed Ruan Yunsheng's expression and frowned, "Princess, you can't risk going to the Grand Marshal's Mansion again!"
Ruan Yunsheng glanced at Xie Yan. Xie Yan's face looked extremely bad, almost pale.
He is ill. Don't let him toss and turn in the middle of the night. Don't let him die from the torment.
Ruan Yunsheng retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Forget it, let's go back first."
She turned around and tried to leave, but suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She gasped and her body swayed almost imperceptibly!
