Hearing Jiang Fan call out his name, Zhou Miaoxuan naturally thought of King Xin Zhu Youjian.
Since his father died unjustly and was sent to prison, everyone in the Zhou family was beheaded and sentenced to death.
When Zhou Miaoxuan was sent to Yangzhou to work as a thin horse, she resolutely jumped into the river and escaped death, but was rescued by King Xin.
Since then, her real name has not been revealed to anyone, and only King Xin and a very small number of close associates know her real name.
The "Ming Gong" mentioned by Zhou Miaoxuan was Xin Wang Zhu Youjian. She asked this as a kind of test.
Jiang Fan heard this and shook his head slightly: "On the contrary, the person who wants to kill you is none other than King Xin, because you know too much."
"What King Xin is, I don't know him."
When Zhou Miaoxuan heard this, he knew that the person in front of him was not one of King Xin, so he immediately denied it and said that he did not know King Xin. This was his final stubbornness.
But she knew that since the other party mentioned King Xin when he opened his mouth and knew his name, he probably had substantial evidence and knew his relationship with King Xin.
Jiang Fan casually pulled out the flying knife nailed to the pillar and looked at Zhou Miaoxuan, whose face was covered in blood: "You still want to protect him now. Should I say you are naive or stupid?"
Then he wiped the blood on the flying knife and pointed the tip of the knife at the body of Ling Yunkai lying on the ground: "The Jin Yiwei lying on the ground is called Ling Yunkai, and his uncle is Wei Zhongxian. He came to kill you because he was ordered by someone who trusted the king.
Just to clear the air!"
Zhou Miaoxuan is still stubborn: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just a painter. I don't know who Xin Wang is at all. Who are you?"
[I really don’t want to give up until I reach the Yellow River!]
Looking at the stubborn Zhou Miaoxuan, Jiang Fan introduced himself: "My name is Jiang Fan, and I am the current governor of Jinyiwei Town."
"You are Jiang Fan!"
Zhou Miaotong gave Jiang Fan a meaningful look.
As early as not long after he returned to Beijing with King Xin, Zhou Miaoxuan secretly asked someone to find the whereabouts of his sister Zhou Miaotong, knowing that his sister was suffering in Jiaofangsi.
However, due to his sensitive identity, fear of being discovered by the eunuchs, which would delay King Xin's plans, and fear of implicating Zhou Miaotong, Zhou Miaoxuan chose to secretly send someone to take care of him, but did not dare to take any big action.
I originally thought that after King Xin came to the throne, eradicated the eunuchs, and the Zhou family was cleared of injustice, they would recognize each other as sisters again.
Unexpectedly, two days ago, Zhou Miaotong was redeemed by Jiang Fan, the governor of Jinyiwei.
Zhou Miaoxuan, who has been secretly paying attention to his sister, has been worried about this for a long time.
I didn't expect to meet Jiang Fan in this way today.
"You've heard of me. Speaking of which, we have some connection. Zhou Miaotong is your sister, right? She mentioned you to me."
Jiang Fan said bluntly: "I have been keeping an eye on Guo Zhen for a long time. I went to Jinling Tower last night, but you didn't see me. I remember that you were wearing men's clothes when you had an appointment with Guo Zhen's father-in-law."
"After that, I fought with Ding Baiying and deliberately let her escape. After follow-up investigation, I found that you are all people who believe in the king."
"You used calligraphy and painting to meet Guo Zhen just to silence you. Unfortunately, you are just an abandoned son."
"If I hadn't followed the lead and traced it to this point today, I don't need to say more about your fate."
After listening to Jiang Fan's story, Zhou Miaoxuan knew that sophistry was useless, and his face suddenly turned pale: "No, it's impossible. This is definitely not an order given by him."
Although she said it was impossible, her heart began to waver.
After all, only a few people knew where she was. The Jin Yiwei suddenly came to kill her, but the people around her who were supposed to protect her were nowhere to be seen, which in itself explained the problem.
Thinking of Zhu Youjian's suspicious character, Zhou Miaoxuan couldn't help but feel miserable in his heart.
"Who is King Xin Zhu Youjian? You should know better than me. The most ruthless emperor's family. A person who can even kill his own brother. What a confidante. Come with me now. I am your only one."
A way out."
While talking, Jiang Fan heard the sound of someone approaching.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Baiying came first with two disciples and stood outside the house holding a knife.
This time, the disciples brought by Ding Baiying were not Ding Tai and Ding Chong, but Ding Xiu and Ding Xian.
Ding Xiu, the Jiaqian layman in Xiuchundao, uses Miao Dao, and his strength is superior to that of others, even stronger than Ding Baiying.
Ding Xian is the younger brother, he uses two short knives, and now he looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, still very immature.
Looking across Jiang Fan, Ding Baiying looked at Zhou Miaoxuan aside, and said coldly: "Girl, I'm sorry, I have an order from my father-in-law, so I can only wrong you!"
"He really wants to kill me?"
When Zhou Miaoxuan heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He suddenly felt as if he had no strength. He collapsed on the ground and felt that all his thoughts were gone.
I have done so many things for King Xin, and never thought of betrayal until my death, but in the end I ended up like this, which is heartbreaking!
"Miss Ding, we meet again. I asked you to run away last night. I didn't expect to meet again so soon. You don't think that just the three of you can deal with me."
Jiang Fan actually said this to Zhou Miaoxuan on purpose.
Ding Baiying and Lu Wenzhao secretly took refuge in Jiang Fan, and now they are here just to allow Zhou Miaoxuan to better understand the reality and completely stop thinking about her.
Only by destroying Zhou Miaoxuan's trust in King Xin can he be brought to his side and turned into a tainted witness.
Only when Ding Baiying, a retainer who often followed King Xin, came forward could Zhou Miaoxuan believe it.
Moreover, although Jiang Fan and Ding Baiying were acting, it is believed that Wang wanted to kill Zhou Miaoxuan and silence him.
If Ling Yunkai's arrival caused a crack in Zhou Miaoxuan's trust in Zhu Youjian before, then Ding Baiying's appearance completely shattered Zhou Miaoxuan's last illusion about Zhu Youjian.
But even so, Zhou Miaoxuan still did not let go, because she knew that once she opened her mouth, many people would die.
Although King Xin was ruthless to him, Zhou Miaoxuan still had no intention of betraying King Xin and Dong Lin because of the "righteousness" in his heart and his hatred for the eunuchs.
Jiang Fan felt that Zhou Miaoxuan's brain was somewhat sick. He didn't know whether he was lame because of Dong Lin's tricks, or he was just a love brain. As long as his head was hot, he could do any stupid thing.
Even if you are seeking suicide, it is not impossible!
Looking at Zhou Miaoxuan who was despairing, Ding Baiying couldn't bear it, but for the safety of herself, her senior brother Lu Wenzhao, and many disciples, she still cooperated with Jiang Fan in acting, and said coldly: "I know we are not enough masters and disciples, so this time
I brought helpers."
"Pop!"
At this moment, a group of Shenji battalions armed with matchlock guns appeared from the bamboo forest and fired at the houses indiscriminately.
Jiang Fan immediately picked up Zhou Miaoxuan, moved him around, jumped out of the back window, and ran away.
If you look carefully, you will find that the two new Jinyiwei Baihu, Zhuque and Xuanwu, are both in the Shenji Camp.
These gunmen from the Shenji Battalion were also extras hired by Jiang Fan.
The purpose was to give Zhou Miaoxuan an attitude of believing that the king would kill him.
The matchlock guns used by the Shenji Battalion team were all hollow-point bullets, and no one really dared to shoot at Jiang Fan and Zhou Miaoxuan.
After pretending to give chase, Ding Baiying put a female corpse that had been prepared in advance into Zhou Miaoxuan's studio, and then burned the entire courtyard to the ground.
In this way, Ding Baiying and Lu Wenzhao can also give Zhu Youjian an explanation.
the other side.
Jiang Fan took Zhou Miaoxuan back to the city overnight.
Noticing that Zhou Miaoxuan had been silent and lifeless on the road, Jiang Fan said: "Miss Zhou, you should know the person who just robbed and killed. Now you can tell the truth."
