Chapter 191 Su Yan was assassinated
The low voice of the man in black sounded particularly cold in the night. Su Yan's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard it. He recognized this iconic mask - the symbol of the owner of Juesha Tower.
"The owner of Juesha Tower? I wonder what brings you here so late at night?" Su Yan tried his best to remain calm, but he couldn't help feeling a little flustered inside.
Could it be that he knew?
It shouldn't be like that. I did it very secretly.
The host of the post walked slowly closer, and in the moonlight, his sinister eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
"Master Su, I heard that the Dali Temple is investigating a case recently, and it is suspected to be related to my Juesha Tower."
Su Yan's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to remain calm.
"The Dali Temple is indeed facing a difficult case, and it's suspected that the Juesha Tower was responsible. Since the master of the tower is here, I might as well tell you the truth. Although the evidence in this case is not conclusive, the evidence found at the scene does point directly to the Juesha Tower. I will investigate thoroughly according to the law and give an explanation to the deceased."
The author's eyes are as sharp as a torch, as if he can see into people's hearts.
"This host would like to see the evidence that Lord Su mentioned."
Su Yan heard this and spoke.
"I'm sorry, Master, this is the Dali Temple, not the Juesha Tower."
When the host heard this, his eyes turned cold and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Since Lord Su is unwilling to give it to me, I will have no choice but to take it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword and rushed towards Su Yan.
As the sword flashed, Su Yan felt a fierce murderous intent rushing towards him. He hurriedly dodged to the side and drew the sword in his hand to meet the attack.
"Come here, there's an assassin."
Suddenly, sword shadows intersected in the Dali Temple. The two figures moved quickly under the candlelight, and the swords collided with each other, making crisp sounds.
The guards from the Dali Temple also rushed over, drew their swords and formed a circle.
After Su Yan exchanged a few moves with the owner of the building, he was secretly surprised. He did not expect that the owner of Juesha Building's martial arts skills were so powerful. Although he was also a master, he seemed a little stretched in front of the owner of the building.
While resisting the attack of the host, he tried to find a breakthrough.
However, the host's attacks became more and more fierce, and each sword was aimed at the vital points. Su Yan gradually felt powerless.
"Come on everyone!"
At Su Yan's command, the guards of the Dali Temple rushed forward, trying to overwhelm the owner of the Juesha Tower with their numerical advantage.
But the host had a ghostly figure and superb swordsmanship. Every move and every style was just right to dissolve the attacks of the crowd. At the same time, he shuttled through the crowd, leaving behind a trail of silver sword shadows.
"Hmph, the Dali Temple is nothing more than this." The host sneered, his tone full of contempt.
"Su Yan, I will also investigate what you are investigating. Juesha Tower has never received any orders to assassinate the Yao family. If I find out that someone is deliberately muddying the waters and smearing Juesha Tower's reputation, I will pursue them to the end."
The tip of his sword drew a perfect arc in the air, and suddenly there was a "bang" sound. The yard was shrouded in thick smoke, and the vision was blurred.
When the smoke cleared, the host was no longer there.
Su Yan frowned. Things were a bit difficult. Juesha Tower did not belong to the government, so he was afraid that it would cause trouble.
Regent's Palace.
Liu Yue came forward with an account book.
"Miss, this is what the Han Dong family sent back. The wool we purchased this year is already three times more than last year."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang took the account book and took a look.
"Tell Boss Han to sign a three-year contract with the merchants in Beipan and invest all your money into it. Let the people of Beipan see that as long as they have wool, they will never go hungry. Try to win over the big wool merchants in Beipan."
"Also, arrange a few more people to protect her."
Liu Yue was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Miss, although woolen items are selling well for cold weather, can we really afford so much wool?"
"If I make too many clothes by then..."
When Xiao Fuguang heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Clothes aren't just for selling. Just do as I say."
At this time, Xuanyuan Jing walked in in black clothes. Liu Yue bowed his head and bowed silently before leaving.
Xuanyuan Jing walked to Xiao Fuguang's side.
"Liu Yue, who is by your side, is rarely in the mansion!"
Xiao Fuguang spoke with a smile.
"You're back!"
"I have some shops outside that need someone to take care of them. Liu Yue is very smart and is very suitable to help me manage these shops outside."
Then the conversation took a sudden turn.
"How was it? Did Su Yan find any flaws?"
Xuanyuan Jing placed the mask in his hand on the table.
"The sword technique I used when fighting him was not my usual one, so he couldn't find any flaws."
Xiao Fuguang nodded when he heard this, and raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Xuanyuan.
"He actually dared to use the Juesha Building. Let's see if he panics when facing the assassins from the Juesha Building."
Xuanyuan Jing took the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"He should be panicking. I already felt him panicking tonight. You know, once you are targeted by Jueshalou, it will be very difficult to survive in this life."
In the palace.
Yikun Palace.
Since Concubine Yao was restored to her position as concubine, her treatment in the palace has improved.
There is ice on the table to cool down.
However, Concubine Yao is still immersed in the grief of the Yao family being wiped out these days.
Seeing Cuizhu come in, Concubine Yao spoke hurriedly.
"Cuizhu, have you found out anything?"
Cuizhu looked at Concubine Yao and felt that she didn't dare to say the news she had just heard.
When Concubine Yao saw him hesitating, she suddenly became angry.
"You should speak!"
"Cuizhu, don't you even care about your job now?"
Cuizhu knelt down hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please understand. I only want to serve you well for the rest of my life."
"It's not that I'm silent, I'm just thinking about how to tell Your Majesty."
Seeing Cuizhu like this, Concubine Yao had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Tell me, is there anything I can't bear?"
Cuizhu then looked up at Concubine Yao, then lowered her head and spoke.
"I didn't get the information that Her Majesty asked me to find out, but I did hear another piece of news. The Empress is planning to adopt the Fifth Prince as her own, and the Emperor has already agreed. Fengyi Palace is preparing to change the jade disc."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yao stood up in anger.
"What did you say? The Queen wants to record the Fifth Prince as her own?"
Cuizhu nodded.
"Yes, Fengyi Palace has been full of joy these past two days..."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yao smashed the teacup on the table to the ground.
"Bang..." The tea inside splashed onto the ground and the teacup broke into pieces.
"The Queen is a bitch."
"It's not enough that the Crown Prince is dead. He wants to continue fighting with me. Don't think I don't know what he's thinking. He just sees that the Fifth Prince has some ability to fight Prince Rong, so he wants to support the Fifth Prince and overthrow me and Prince Rong."
Lian Xin hurried to pick up the broken cup on the ground, and Cuizhu spoke quickly.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"My Lady, let's..."
Concubine Yao's face was full of anger.
"This is my Yikun Palace, not Fengyi Palace. Does that mean I have to be careful with my words?"
Cuizhu walked forward, took another cup and poured her a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, hasn't the Emperor already granted you your position? Let's calm down first. The names haven't been decided yet, right? We can discuss this in detail..."
When Concubine Yao heard this, a gleam flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, the name on the jade disc hasn't been changed yet!"
"Go and tell Prince Rong to come into the palace."
