Ke Xin hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Where is it?"
"Will my family be hurt?"
Liu Feiyang stared at the situation outside the window. He was unsure now, so he hurriedly pulled her and told her, "Go to your secret garden. If a fight breaks out outside, don't come out. I will protect your family."
Ke Xin shook her head and insisted on making sure her family was safe. If the other party showed any disapproval, she would send her entire family to the space.
In a small mountain village at night, the dog barked incessantly, waking up the sleeping family.
The lights in the house were on, and people came out from the east, west and south rooms, holding lanterns to illuminate the yard.
Jiang Shan rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw his father coming out of the east room. The father and son shouted to each other: "Dad, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yongtian tightened his clothes and called out to him, "The dog is barking like that, maybe a thief has come in. Grab your stick and come out to patrol with Dad."
When the thief was mentioned, Jiang Shan suddenly woke up: "Here comes Dad!"
Jiang Yongtian was not sure if it was a thief, but it was no secret in the town that his family had a rich son-in-law, so his wealth might be targeted by thieves. Perhaps his shouting could scare away the hidden person.
Jiang Xin from the south room also limped out and was placed in the yard by Jiang Yongtian: "Keep an eye on it. If you see a thief, beat the gong as hard as you can."
As soon as the gong sounded, everyone in the village knew that no matter how many thieves there were, they would not be able to withstand the large population of the village. After saying that, he took Jiang Shan to the greenhouse at the back.
Now, the most valuable thing in the family is the one in the greenhouse. As for the silver and banknotes, they have long been hidden by his wife. With Ge Shuzhen's greed for money, she would not say a word even if a knife was put to her neck. Therefore, Jiang Yongtian is still very relieved about his wife.
The father and son were messing around in the yard, hiding in the dark. The person who wanted to assassinate them finally gave up the assassination plan after hearing their conversation. After all, there were only two of them. If they alarmed the entire village, it would be difficult for them to escape.
The people lying on the roof looked at each other and retreated.
At that time, Qi Lu was sitting on the bed, wiping the sword in his hand, but he did not see any action from the assassin. Instead, he listened to the conversation between the father and son of the Jiang family. The two maids living in the front yard were nervous for a while, but they did not hear any movement.
After making a fuss all night, the Jiang family father and son found nothing. They muttered a few words to the village dog, asking why they were making such a fuss in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!
After saying that, he turned back and continued to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Yongtian and Ge Shuzhen were heard discussing: "Life will be better for us now. Let's raise two dogs to guard the house. If anyone comes to our yard in the middle of the night, the dogs can be used to keep an eye on them."
Ge Shuzhen had no objection to raising a dog. The family had enough leftover food to eat: "Let's buy two big roosters. It always feels like something is missing when there are no cocks crowing in the morning!"
Jiang Yongtian glanced at the yard where his daughter was temporarily living and smiled in his heart. However, the child was married and would not live at home for long, so let her buy it if she wanted.
"Then when Jiang Shan delivers the seasoning today, come back and ask him to buy it for you."
After saying that, the old couple continued to busy themselves with the things in their hands and quickly forgot about what happened last night. At this time, Jiang Kexin had not slept well all night. She rubbed her eyebrows for a long time before asking Liu Feiyang.
"Tell me the truth, when will these assassination attempts end?"
The man sitting on the stool shrugged. "The emperor is seriously ill and only has this month to live. Now is the time to appoint a crown prince. They assassinated me so that I could sever contact with my cousin. If anything happens to me, my parents will definitely hate my aunt and think they killed my father's only son. So my cousin will lose his support, which is what they hoped for."
After he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Qi Lu, who walked in, said, "Not necessarily."
Liu Feiyang and Jiang Kexin looked at him and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"
The man holding the sword came over and sat down next to Liu Feiyang. He began to analyze his situation: "If they really wanted you dead, there wouldn't have been two assassins last night, but a whole group!"
"They know that Xiaowu is a top martial artist, and your martial arts skills are not weak either. It would be easy for the two of you to deal with two assassins. If that woman really wanted you dead, she would probably kill you on your wedding night."
After a long and rambling speech, Ke Xin finally understood: "Doctor Qi, are you saying that the assassin who came last night was just trying to scare us? Or was he trying to scare us?"
"It's hard to say whether it's true or not right now, but I'm sure the other party isn't trying to kill Liu Feiyang. I guess... they want to use poison to control you!"
This was Qi Lu's guess, based on his experience treating the nobles.
Liu Feiyang didn't say anything, frowning as if he was thinking something. However, Jiang Kexin, who was standing beside him, thought that poison could be used to do something. "If we want to know what the other party means, why don't we give it a try?"
After saying that, the two men looked at her at the same time.
"Fei Yang, just pretend to be poisoned and dying, and spread the news. If it can save your life, I'm willing to give you half of my wealth."
Use this incident to get rid of the murderer behind the scenes. If the main messenger knew about this, he would find someone to come in order to get the wealth. At that time, he would pretend to agree to the other party's request, and then secretly cooperate with the actions of the queen and cousin.
Feiyang and Qilu's eyes lit up. It seemed that they had both thought of this idea, but where was the best place to release the poison?
"The poison in my body is almost gone. If someone with medical skills comes here, they'll be able to tell I'm a fake just by feeling my pulse!"
This is a troublesome matter. Ke Xin looked at Qi Lu and said, "Don't you have his poisonous blood? If you let him drink it, he won't die, but he definitely won't be as lively as he is now."
Qi Lu wanted to say something, but Ke Xin continued, "It just so happens that Doctor Qi is a highly skilled doctor. You're in the mansion. Even if the other party sends someone with excellent medical skills, you can explain that the poison in his body has been suppressed. That way, the other party won't doubt that Fei Yang's poisoning is minor!"
After the two of them discussed it, they decided that although this plan seemed simple, it was difficult to implement at the moment. They couldn't just let that group of people keep getting in trouble, so Liu Feiyang made a decision immediately.
"Go back and get it, I'll wait for you here!"
Qi Lu immediately understood what he meant: "If you get poisoned here, your father-in-law and mother-in-law..." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Kexin on the side.
Unexpectedly, she also agreed with this idea: "There are many people in the village and many eyes, so it is better to spread the poison in the village. We don't need to publicize it. People in the village will spread it everywhere naturally."
However, this did make my family worried, but I couldn't tell everyone the whole story in advance, so I could only explain it after all the problems were resolved.
