Si Jinxing immediately turned her head to look, but couldn't find who was looking at her!
The leader on horseback was a little confused when he heard this. He turned to look at the crowd and pointed at a person and shouted:
"Zhang Weiguang!"
A man with his head bowed walked out from the crowd and said, "Boss."
The head of the family was only thinking about finding the Princess of Anping to treat his daughter. He was not willing to believe what the woman in front of him said.
He asked hurriedly, "Didn't you say that the Princess of Anping was on her way to Xuzhou and would have to pass through here? You actually lied to me?"
As soon as this person stood up, Si Jinxing felt alarm bells going off in his head!
This person must be no simple one!
Zhang Weiguang, however, looked naive and explained, "I guess the county lady died after I came to our village, right?"
Qing Chan also noticed something unusual, and she asked:
"I wonder when you came to Yunshan Village? The Princess of Anping was burned to death seven days ago. It is said that her body was burned to ashes!"
The big boss reacted immediately and said, "Come here! Capture him!"
Zhang Weiguang just arrived at the village yesterday, and since then he has been telling himself about the ability of the Anping County Lord, and instigated him to go down the mountain to rob and block the Anping County Lord!
In fact, he had long known that the Princess of Anping was dead, and was now just using Yunshan Village...
After hearing the boss's words, more than a dozen people surrounded Zhang Wei Guang!
But Zhang Weiguang sneered and said, "Just a few of you guys think you can stop me?"
Under the torchlight, where was the trace of innocence left on his face? He had already turned into a ferocious and ferocious look!
He just paused for a moment and wanted to use his lightness skills to leap into the air!
The bandits who surrounded him never expected that Zhang Wei Guang was hiding so deeply!
When it comes to fighting, they are quite capable, but in the final analysis, they only have brute force. How can they stop Zhang Weiguang, who has outstanding martial arts skills?
Seeing Zhang Weiguang rising from the ground, he was about to jump out of the encirclement and escape!
Two silver needles flew out from different directions!
Tonight is destined to be a restless night!
At the same time, Jianzhou City.
An inconspicuous gray carriage quietly drove into a six-story mansion at the end of West Mule and Horse Street!
This is the residence of the prime minister Liu Yangfeng!
Speaking of which, not only did Liu Yangfeng hold the position of prime minister, but his grandfather, father, and uncle had all served as prime ministers. He had many students and friends in the court all over the world.
There are some busybodies in the capital who have given the Liu family the reputation of having four prime ministers in three generations!
Although Liu Yangfeng refused and denied it several times in front of everyone, he still enjoyed this flattering title in his heart.
But although he holds a high position, he is now over 60 years old!
For the sake of his family's prosperity and decline, he had to make plans in advance and seek a more stable and appropriate backer for the younger generations of the Liu family!
He looked at the man in black before him, knelt down and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The man in black turned around and took off the hat on his head, revealing a face. It was none other than the King Rui, Qi Nanyan!
He stretched out his hands, gave Liu Yangfeng a light support, and said, "Prime Minister, there is no need to be so polite!"
Liu Yangfeng thanked him politely and asked, "I wonder what brings you here so late at night, Your Majesty? What's the important matter?"
Qi Nanyue didn't say anything, but reached out and pulled out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Yangfeng.
Liu Yangfeng took it with doubt, shook it casually, and unfolded the letter.
He quickly scanned the letter, his expression changed immediately, and he said in a trembling voice: "This..."
Qi Nanyan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the treasure chest in Liu Yangfeng's study and said, "Yes, it's a handwritten letter from General Hanlan, Yuan Shuhuai!"
Liu Yangfeng calmed himself down and read the letter carefully again before saying:
"This Han Lan has always been ambitious, and this Yuan Shuhuai is nothing short of an old fox! Your Highness, do you really trust him?"
Qi Nanyan turned around and looked at Liu Yangfeng, saying:
"Most of our dynasty's northern military forces are under the control of the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince grew up with the Crown Prince, so their friendship is deep!
This king has tried to win him over many times, but to no avail!
The Crown Prince has always advocated war. Now, Yuan Shuhuai has proposed peace talks. If I can facilitate this, I will be able to gain Han Lan's help in achieving great things in the future!"
He glanced at Liu Yangfeng and continued:
"As you can see, the land north of the Huai River is in imminent danger and could fall into the hands of the Crown Prince at any moment. I do not want to throw away this opportunity! What are your thoughts, Prime Minister?"
Liu Yangfeng lowered his eyes slightly. He knew about the Jianghuai incident.
"Your Highness, I have already made arrangements for the Jianghuai area!
Now that Princess Anping is gone, there is no way that person will ever set foot into Xuzhou Prefecture alive!
"My Lord, don't worry!"
Qi Nanyue couldn't bear to hear that the man was dead. He had been wondering for the past two days, how could that man die so easily?
He also sent people to the Si Mansion and the Lan Mansion to inquire, and the secret guard reported:
Although the atmosphere was a bit depressing, the two families did not look overly sad.
He couldn't help but ask:
"How's the investigation into Princess Anping going? I don't believe she died in that fire!"
Liu Yangfeng raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Qi Nanyan, then said thoughtfully:
"I've been secretly investigating, but I think it's normal for a fire of that magnitude to burn to ashes. Your Highness, please don't make random guesses!"
If the Princess of Anping were still alive, Jia Wensheng would definitely be found, and who knows how many people would be implicated!
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't say the words in his throat.
A few days ago, he was invited to the palace by Concubine Luo and was given instructions:
"That girl must not be allowed to live!
Whether it's Suzhou, Xuzhou, or Jianzhou, we've planted people everywhere. Once we find them, we'll kill them without mercy!"
But this matter must not be known to King Rui.
Liu Yangfeng frowned slightly. Prince Rui has always been a cold-hearted person, so why is he treating this girl from the Si family so differently?
No wonder Concubine Luo issued such a secret order!
Qi Nanyan knew that Liu Yangfeng was right, but he couldn't refute it, so he just said:
"She's standing in my way, so how could I let her live easily? I just don't want her to die so easily!
The Prime Minister should continue to have people investigate secretly."
After saying this, the two of them never mentioned Si Jinxing again.
Qi Nanyue spread out the topographic map and discussed with Liu Yangfeng what Yuan Shuhuai mentioned!
At this time, it was the Rui Wang Mansion, Cuijing Pavilion.
Si Jinyue lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep!
It has been two days since she last saw the prince. The day before yesterday, she had a headache and he didn't even come to see her!
Whenever she thought of what happened with Yuan Qing that night, she wanted to slap herself!
She didn't know how to face the prince...
Si Jinyue was tossing and turning in her mind when she suddenly heard the window frame move slightly...
