Chapter 37 Preventing the Assassination

I don’t know who Nuan Xin wants to kill, but killing is wrong. She is a well-known heroine in the world, how can she become a killer who takes people’s lives indiscriminately by doing chivalry?

I think this word is appropriate for her. Last month, she accidentally killed three people, no, four people. Qin Zhen did it openly.

And this morning, she was planning to... She hurt my eye and chased me with a sword. If she hadn't known me, would she have drawn the sword?

She said I was peeping, and I admit that my behavior was indeed misunderstood, but I had no malice at all. I just heard Wang Jiajia and the others joking and wanted to take a look. The same goes for talking to Wang Jiajia on weekdays.

If Nuan Xin kills me for this and accuses me of being a lecher, wouldn’t I die unjustly? I really don’t know if this confused heroine has killed good people by mistake in the past few years.

"Brother Jianghu, I feel very anxious." Wang Jiajia covered her chest with anxiety on her face: "I have a feeling that the person Sister Nuanxin wants to kill must not be simple. She has been living in my house for almost a month.

, she would go shopping with me every day. I thought she was looking for something at first, but later I found out that she was secretly looking for someone. That person must also be elusive, so it was hard to take action."

I looked outside the house and saw that my mother was sifting soybeans in the yard. A few yellow leaves fell down, bringing a light autumn atmosphere.

Yes, it's been a month, and the hottest month is finally over. Did Nuanxin's enemy go out to escape the summer heat, so she couldn't find any trace of him?

"Jiajia, every time you go out with Nuanxin, where do you usually go shopping?" I asked, hoping to gain something.

Wang Jiajia thought for a while: "It's the street in front of the Governor's Mansion, then stroll to Jianghu Inn, then go through the intersection to the east of the inn, go to Xiangzhou Academy, and then stroll to the market to the west."

I was thinking about the route she mentioned, and suddenly I was shocked: "In other words, you actually walked around the Governor's Mansion every day?"

"Yeah." Wang Jiajia nodded, and suddenly became nervous: "Brother Jianghu, what do you mean? Are you saying that the person Sister Nuanxin wants to kill is here..."

"Do you still remember? We suggested Nuan Xin to report to the government a long time ago, but Nuan Xin said that Magistrate Xu can't control it. Does she mean that Magistrate Xu's official position is smaller than that of her enemy, and he is a person who speaks lightly?"

"Then...could it be that the person Sister Nuanxin wants to kill is Meng Sima? Or Inspector Lei? Or maybe..."

"Imperial Envoy!" I had an ominous premonition in my heart: "I heard Long Yuhan mention that the Imperial Envoy's whereabouts are always elusive, and the Imperial Envoy is very afraid of heat. Every time it is hot, he will always find a shady place to hide.

I won’t come out unless I have to, I won’t show up until autumn and the weather gets cooler.”

"Ah! Then... what should we do?" Wang Jiajia was anxiously circling around the room: "There must be expert guards around the imperial envoy. How can Sister Nuanxin get close to him? Besides, assassinating the imperial envoy is a capital crime.

Sister Nuanxin..."

"Okay, now that things have come to an end, we can no longer hide it for her. Jiajia, I know you and Nuan Xin have been getting along very well over the past month, but there are some things you need to calm down. If Nuan Xin wants to kill someone

If she is really an imperial envoy, then she will no longer be your friend. She may be a killer, or to be precise, a craftsman!"

"No, how could it be? How could Sister Nuanxin be a fine artist?" Wang Jiajia shook her head, but tears fell from her eyes.

"Do you still remember the corpse that Wang...er...Master asked me to go to the mass grave for dissection on the day before his birthday?" I held Wang Jiajia's shoulders and asked, "That man's name is Zhu Jiang, and he is the Tubo Xizhuo. He fled under the pretense of fleeing.

He settled down everywhere, moved into Long Yuhan's home, became brothers with Long Yuhan, and even joined the Sky Eye Team."

"You mean, Sister Nuanxin is the same... No, Sister Nuanxin is different, and there's nothing we can do to help her? How could she take advantage of me?"

"A woman wandering alone around the Governor's Mansion can easily be noticed. If two people are playing together, and you are Fatty Wang's daughter, will others still be suspicious?"

"But, Nuan Xin is a chivalrous woman. She told me a secret, she is the chivalrous lady Baiyun Fairy." Wang Jiajia argued: "She told me many stories about her chivalry and righteousness, which are better than those told by that old man Fang.

It’s even more exciting.”

"Jiajia, there is actually something I didn't tell you. I am currently a candidate for the Sky Eye secret agent. I am still in the assessment period. If I pass the assessment, I will be an elite agent and will be directly loyal to the imperial envoy."

"Secret agent?" Wang Jiajia looked at me and was silent for a moment: "Brother Jianghu, I know what you do is good, but Sister Nuanxin...can you go find her, and let's go together to persuade her to give up the assassination, okay?

"

I knew that this girl's idea was still too naive. If Nuan Xin was really careful, how could we persuade her with just a few words? But looking at Wang Jiajia's sad look, I still nodded and grabbed a few coins from the box: "

Okay, I'll go and think of a solution right away. You can stay at home with your mother and I'll be back soon."

I rushed to the entrance of the alley next to Jianghu Inn, looked around and saw no one, and then put a copper coin under the floor tiles according to Xiao Mu's instructions.

But after I put it away, I was confused again. Will Xiao Mu come? How often will he come to check? Where do I need to wait? What if someone else passes by and picks up the copper coins?

I think Xiao Mu's method is still unreliable. If it's something that's not urgent, it's feasible. But if something urgent happens, it's not easy to meet in person.

"Put down your things and leave. Why are you hanging around here? Are you afraid that others won't know that you are a spy? Just hit it with a gong and call me out to meet you."

I turned around and looked overjoyed: "Xiao Mu!"

Xiao Mu had picked up the copper coins I put there, wiped them on his clothes, and put them directly into his cloth bag.

"You..." I felt a pain in my heart. I really regretted using copper coins as a password. If this continues, doesn't it mean that I have to pay a penny every time I see him?

"What's wrong with your eyes? Did you get beaten when you peeked at someone's little lady taking a bath?" Xiao Mu said with a smile.

"I fell... I fell." I also smiled: "There is something very urgent, but I don't know if my inference is correct. After thinking about it, I think it is necessary to report it to you."

"explain."

I cleared my throat and talked about all the heart-warming things.

Xiao Mu crossed his arms on his chest, leaning against the wall of Jianghu Inn, with his eyes closed, wondering whether he was listening carefully to what I said or whether he had fallen asleep.

"That's all." I suddenly felt relieved: "Last time in the teahouse, I stopped you and said that a person was a bit suspicious, which meant that it was heartwarming. I just promised not to reveal her whereabouts, so I have no regard for you.

Concealed."

Xiao Mu smiled contemptuously: "Isn't it said that 'a gentleman's words are hard to chase'? Since you have promised others, why do you have to tell me again? Do you want to destroy your relatives for the sake of justice?"

I pursed my lips and said, "I know that Brother Mu is resourceful and will definitely be able to find a way to stop her. If the person she wants to kill is really an imperial envoy, it will be a death penalty. She is a friend that Jiajia has just made, that is, my friend. I

I don’t want her to go astray. Moreover, she may be the heroine Fairy Baiyun, a hero admired by the people in recent years. I hope Brother Mu will find a way to save her life for the sake of her chivalry and righteousness."

Xiao Mu finally opened his eyes, took out a fan from his cloth bag and shook it: "Want to hear a story?"

I was stunned: "What story?"

"The story of sisterly love."

"Can you be more serious? I'm almost desperate. Can't you tell me a story later?" I was really anxious: "Didn't you already recruit some spies? Let's inform them and let them find a warm heart.

Then let’s go find her together and find out. If the person she wants to kill is really an imperial envoy, maybe there is some misunderstanding between them? Let’s just explain it clearly, right?”

Xiao Mu didn't seem to hear what I said, so he asked, "Have you heard of King An?"

"Prince An?" I was stunned: "You mean the deceased Prince An? I heard that the imperial envoy had a good personal relationship with him when he was in Chang'an. Does this have anything to do with what I'm talking about?"

"Prince An was the most favored prince of the Supreme Emperor at that time. Three years ago, when Prince An was weak, notices for the selection of concubines were spread all over the world, which shows how much the Supreme Emperor loved this son.

The Supreme Emperor has more than sixty children. Some of them are favored, but of course there are also those who are jealous and hateful. The most ruthless emperor's family, where brothers and sisters fight openly and secretly for the throne and power, has always been common.

On the day of King An's wedding, Princess An disappeared mysteriously. The imperial envoy was invited to the palace to help King An investigate the disappearance of the princess. They had a good talk with King An, became close friends, and won a gold medal, allowing them to enter and leave the palace freely.

There are two maids in the palace of King An, the elder sister is named Su Xin, and the younger sister is named Nuan Xin. Both sisters' parents have died, and they depend on each other in the palace."

What? Heart-warming? I held my breath and listened to Xiao Mu continue:

"One day, the imperial envoy went to King An's palace to take a nap. He found Su Xin acting in a panic, so he pretended to be in love with her and made some irregular moves. In fact, it was to search her. Sure enough, he quickly took out a bottle of Su Xin from her body.

Broken gut grass.”

"Heartbreak grass!" I was shocked: "I heard Fatty Wang say that this kind of poison is extremely poisonous. How could it be on the body of King An's maid?"

"Yes, the imperial envoy was also shocked at the time, but without saying anything, he secretly took the poison out of the palace and threw it away. After that, the imperial envoy kept an eye on Su Xin and finally discovered a conspiracy."

"What conspiracy?" My heart was in my throat.

Xiao Mu still looked calm: "Someone threatened Su Xin with Nuan Xin's life to poison King An, and the time was set on the day of the cherry feast. Because all the nominees on the gold list entered the palace on that day, King An would be poisoned to death.

, it is also difficult to find the murderer.

The imperial envoy had not yet been promoted to an official at that time, but for the sake of King An, he resolutely gave up the opportunity to show off his talents in public, found an excuse to leave the Huaxin Tower, and went to King An's palace again to check Su Xin's whereabouts."

I couldn't help but ask: "Will that prevent Su Xin from poisoning?"

Xiao Mu smiled coldly: "What about you? Did you stop Nuan Xin from taking revenge?"

"us……"

"Hey, they are indeed sisters. They both have the same stubborn temper!"

"Su Xin took action?"
