Yang Feng stared at him with horrified eyes, and said with his last bit of strength:
"She...she's...in Prince Xi's Mansion..."
Leaving this sentence, Yang Feng died with unwilling eyes.
Leng Yu raised his hand, closed his eyes, and waved to the people behind him.
"Ask Xiaohui to come out and take one last look at him."
After receiving the order, Ayu quickly returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.
When Xiaohui heard the news that Yang Feng was dead, she fell to the ground and tears began to fall silently.
Luo Lan waved to Ah Hong, and Ah Hong helped her up. Luo Lan gently persuaded her:
"Go see him for the last time, it will be worth it for all he has done for you."
Xiaohui's legs had begun to feel weak, and she tried to stand up several times but failed. Seeing this, Ah Hong stepped forward, helped her up, and walked towards the alley in the backyard of Prince Yu's mansion.
Yang Feng was not from Prince Yu's Mansion. Even if he was dead, his body could not be brought into Prince Yu's Mansion. So, at this moment, he was covered with a white cloth and lying alone in the alley, with several guards standing beside him to guard him.
After Xiao Hui came out, she looked at Yang Feng lying on the ground and burst into tears. She threw herself on him like crazy, wailing in pain.
"Brother Feng, this is all my fault. I've ruined you. Didn't you promise to take me away from here and live somewhere with mountains and rivers? Why don't you keep your word?"
"Brother Feng, you said you would protect me and not let others bully me. Why don't you keep your word? Brother Feng..."
"Brother Feng..."
At this time, Ayu came over and handed her the indenture contract.
"This is what Yang Feng gave you in exchange for his life. Please keep it."
Xiaohui took the indenture with trembling hands, and her tears kept falling, instantly wetting the indenture.
"Brother Feng, you risked your life for me. Now that you're gone, how can I still have the face to live in this world?"
Before she finished speaking, she pulled out the dagger from his body, and before anyone could react, she stabbed the dagger into her chest...
Xiaohui followed Yang Feng. When they heard the news, Leng Yu and Luo Lan's hearts sank.
Leng Yu raised his hand and calmly ordered, "Bury them together in the mass graves west of the city. They couldn't be together when they were alive, so they certainly wouldn't want to be separated in death!"
Luo Lan's heart trembled. She felt that Leng Yu's arrangement was very good. No matter how many wrong things Yang Feng had done in his life, the feelings between them were touching.
Yang Feng is willing to die for Xiaohui, and Xiaohui is willing to die with Yang Feng. How many people in the world can have such a relationship?
the eleventh day of the first lunar month
Yuan Gang's body was hung at the vegetable market in the city, and the people who came to watch the excitement were talking about it.
The guards saw that more and more people were gathering around, so they raised their swords and shouted to the onlookers:
"Everyone, stand back. This man attacked Prince Yu's mansion at night and was killed by Prince Yu with one blow. Now his body has gone unclaimed, so it can only be hung here for three days. If no one claims it within three days, it will be thrown into a mass grave and left for wild animals to gnaw on."
The common people were filled with lamentations, wondering how this man could be so bold as to break into Prince Yu's mansion at night. He truly deserved to die.
When the people in Xiwang Mansion saw this scene, they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they crawled back to Xiwang Mansion.
Leng Xi waited all night last night, but Yuan Gang did not come back to report, and there was no news from the people who went with him.
He originally thought that Yuan Gang was delayed by something and would definitely come to report to him this morning.
So, he sent people to Prince Yu's Mansion to inquire about the news early in the morning. Unexpectedly, before the people arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, they saw Yuan Gang's body hanged on the street.
"My Lord, my Lord, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."
Hearing the servant's urgent call, Leng Xi's brows tightened instantly.
"What's the matter, you're yelling so loudly so early in the morning?"
"Yuan Gang, Yuan Gang is dead."
"What?"
Leng Xi gasped, "How did he die? Where is he?"
"I heard that Prince Yu had killed him. He's hanging at the street corner and will be thrown into a mass grave in three days."
Leng Xi's face turned pale at this moment. He slumped in the chair, breathing heavily in anger.
At this time, someone else came to report,
"Report, Your Highness, I heard that Yang Feng and Xiao Hui died at the same time last night. They are now buried in the mass graves west of the city by people from Prince Yu's Mansion. The people Yuan Gang brought with him have all been imprisoned in the Shuntian Mansion prison, awaiting their fate."
Hearing this, Leng Xi felt his scalp tingling again. His carefully planned plan was ruined overnight?
At this time, the housekeeper couldn't help but remind him:
"Your Highness, those people imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion, will they confess? Will people from Prince Yu's Mansion come to our Prince Xi's Mansion to arrest them?"
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Leng Xi's forehead, but he quickly regained consciousness and waved his hands.
"Find someone unfamiliar to you, go to the prison and take care of things, and give these brothers some food so they can go on their journey with peace of mind. Do you understand what I mean?"
The butler pondered for a moment, then nodded hurriedly.
"Understood. I'll do it right away."
"Well, don't reveal anything. Money can be spent more, but people can't keep breathing more."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the butler turned around and retreated. Leng Xi then instructed the people outside:
"Someone, go to Prince Yu's Mansion."
The guard outside ran in and asked in confusion:
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Yuan Gang is my man, as are Yang Feng and Xiao Hui. I believe Leng Yu is now dead and has no evidence against me, otherwise he would have sent people to Prince Xi's mansion to arrest him. In this case, why don't we take the initiative and sever our ties with these people, so that we can take the initiative."
The guards saw that what he said made sense and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll get ready."
Deep in Leng Xi's eyes, there was a look that was difficult to fathom.
Although he was saddened by Yuan Gang's death, he was also glad that Yang Feng and Xiao Hui were dead. This way, he would have no evidence to prove his mistake, and it would not be easy for Leng Yu to find something to hold against him.
…
Leng Yu, Zhang Yuan and others were currently discussing how to go to Prince Xi's Mansion to look for someone.
Zhang Yuan was the first to speak.
"Let's go and search directly. Even if we have to turn Prince Xi's Mansion upside down, we must find An An."
Leng Yu waved his hand directly.
"We searched last time and found nothing. If we search rashly this time and still find nothing, we'll be in a very passive position. So, we absolutely cannot act rashly."
Ah Yu pondered for a while, frowned and said:
"I think An An might not be in Prince Xi's Mansion at all. Leng Xi wouldn't be stupid enough to hide her in Prince Xi's Mansion and wait for us to search for her. Should we continue searching in the city?"
Ah Hou immediately interrupted him,
"We have searched the capital city thoroughly, and no one has ever seen An An. Besides, no one has ever seen An An. I think Leng Xi must have hidden An An somewhere in the Prince Xi's Mansion where it is not easy for people to find her."
