Zhang Quan gritted his teeth and finished telling what happened, "Mr. Murong, I can't find the hall master anywhere. Do you know where he is?"
Murong Bai felt sad in his heart and replied: "We parted a few hours ago. He said he was going to find His Highness Li Chu. I think he was there."
"Is Song Hui safe?"
"She is very nice. Mr. Murong, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Zhang Quan, don't be anxious. Rush back now, take all the people from the Blood Clothes Hall, bring Song Hui out from the underground, and rush to the Huangsun Mansion immediately."
"Huangsun Mansion, where are you going and what are you doing? You have to take that crazy woman with you." Zhang Quan asked.
"Because that Gu Master, his target is Song Hui!" Murong Bai said.
The murderer who silenced Song Yuanfeng was a Gu Master. The murderer who secretly attacked the Blood Clothes Hall was also a Gu Master! It is not difficult to guess the purpose of this Gu Master - it was none other than Song Hui who was imprisoned in the Blood Clothes Hall.
But the question is, how did this Gu master know that Song Hui was in the Blood Clothes Hall?
Zhang Quan's face turned livid, "I see. Why would someone suddenly attack us? It turns out it's this disaster star! I'll kill her when I get back!"
"No!" Murong Bai quickly dissuaded her, "Song Hui is of great use, she cannot die."
"Then our three dead brothers will die?" Zhang Quan asked, "Mr. Murong, you just came to the Blood Clothes Hall. You only care about the face of the hall master and have no feelings for us people, but I do! I
I can’t watch the person who killed my brother do nothing in front of me and still protect her!"
Looking at the indignant Zhang Quan, Murong Bai didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only comfort him:
"Zhang Quan, I will catch the Gu master who killed the brothers in the hall, and the hall master will also catch the Gu master. Song Hui is the person we try our best to protect, and we cannot let her die in our hands! She
If they die, the murderer will have his wish, and the three brothers will die in vain! All our efforts will be in vain!"
The young man calmed down quickly and Zhang Quan said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Murong, I was too impulsive. I will go back immediately."
Seeing Zhang Quan's speeding away, Murong Bai didn't dare to delay. He went to see You Sang first. Seeing that Li Xin'an hadn't come back yet, he hurried to the Huangsun Mansion.
In front of the Emperor's Sun Mansion, he was surrounded by heavy armor. Murong Bai simply explained his purpose, and a man in black came out of the manor and led him in.
"His Highness said that as long as Mr. Murong comes to visit, there will be no obstruction. No matter what he is doing, he must be informed." The man in black said.
Murong Bai had met this man before, and Li Xin'an had a conflict with him in order to save himself.
This is the deputy of Li Chu's "Eight Heavenly Dragons" who was personally formed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and is the most trusted by him. His name seems to be Xie Liya.
"Your Highness Li Chu is very kind." Murong Bai responded lightly. He didn't have a good impression of this person, so there was no need to show off.
Hearing Murong Bai calling His Highness by his first name, Xie Liya's face turned a little ugly, and he snorted coldly and said:
"I have heard for a long time that the Murong Villa's Haoran Sword Code is one of the best in the world. I hope I can consult Master Murong if I have the opportunity."
"Since your Excellency is interested, Murong Bai will come to the door again with his sword after this storm has passed."
Murong Bai raised his eyebrows, wondering what was going on with this man, why he suddenly wanted to fight with him without any clue!
Xie Liya sneered, led him into the side room, and said: "Mr. Murong, please take a rest here. His Highness is not in the house now. When he comes back, I will take him to see His Highness."
"What, His Highness is not here?" Murong Bai exclaimed, "Your Excellency, please don't lie to me. Murong Bai came here this time for really important matters. If Your Highness does not have urgent state affairs to deal with, please let me see you. Even if it disturbs His Highness,
Murong Bai is also willing to bear all the culpability!"
"Mr. Murong is joking. I'm not lying to you. His Highness just went out not long ago and is indeed not in the mansion."
Seeing that Xie Liya didn't look like he was lying, Murong Bai calmed down and said:
"Then may I ask your Excellency, has Li Xin'an been here before?"
Xie Liya smiled and said: "Mr. Murong, please don't tell me that His Highness left the mansion this time just for him, Li Xin'an."
Murong Bai's eyes narrowed, "How do you say this?"
Xie Liya's smile became even brighter, "Stop talking! I don't know what happened to that Li Xin'an, but he was arrested by the people of Jingzhao Mansion and put in prison. Quan Wanqiu, the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, rushed to the scene in a hurry
If you come to report the news, His Highness will take someone to pick him up."
Murong Bai suddenly remembered what Quan Wanqiu said unintentionally when he left Jingzhao Mansion:
"This bunch of people are just living with their corpses, and they are really getting more and more distracted. They just arrested a person not long ago, saying that they broke into the door with weapons in broad daylight with the intention of hurting people. Don't look at it, it sounds like they did a good thing. I
Tell you, this is them"
"Li Xin'an, you idiot!" Murong Bai rarely scolded someone.
"I missed it all!"
An hour ago.
Li Xin'an was roughly pushed into the cell, and the black cloth on his head was removed by the jailer. He took a deep breath of relief, and it felt good to feel his breathing smooth again.
Although the smell in this cell is not very good.
Li Xin'an shivered in the dank air. He walked around the cell, found a satisfactory position, flicked away the cockroaches with one finger, and sat down on the straw.
Why on earth was he arrested?
Li Xin'an was puzzled. He couldn't understand this problem.
"My identity has been exposed? Probably not. My identity is only known to His Highness, Bai Mumu and two seniors of the Five Poison Sect."
"If His Highness wants to kill me, there is no need for Jingzhao Mansion. He can do it himself. Bai Mumu? He can't. The two seniors have no reason. They are both sensible people. If they want to avenge the Five Poison Sect, they will not choose to be here.
At this time, we will not report it to the official."
Li Xin'an thought, if it's not these three people, then who wants to kill me?
In other words, when was your identity exposed?
This thing is so weird, it doesn't make sense from the very beginning with the mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat.
How would someone who has been looking for him for several days without any clues bump into him so cleverly on the street in broad daylight? Meet him wearing a strange outfit?
Thinking about it carefully, it was unusual for the two of them to meet. With their movements, he couldn't hit the mysterious man at all.
In other words, he bumped into it on purpose. In other words, he deliberately wanted to attract his attention!
"Damn it! Why did I realize this problem now!" Li Xin'an slapped his thigh and said in annoyance.
"If I had hesitated for a moment, I wouldn't have jumped into such an obvious trap!"
While he was annoyed, he thought of another problem.
Why do the officials from Jingzhao Mansion appear there?
"The net on the roof, the mysterious man who disappeared, and the Jingzhao Mansion official who just happened to appear, these three are just too much of a coincidence, or is it that the Jingzhao Mansion set up an ambush there in advance?"
Li Xin'an suddenly woke up, and all the doubts in his heart were swept away. That's right! If Jingzhao Mansion has an ambush there, everything will make sense!
The Immortality Cult can know which children in Chang'an City meet their conditions, which means that there are people from them in Jingzhao Mansion or the Ministry of Rites, and they were attracted by a Gu Master and fell into the trap of Jingzhao Mansion, and everything came together.
"The Immortality Cult, what an Immortality Cult!" Li Xin'an sneered, "To be able to mobilize so many people to arrest me, it seems that the spy hidden in Jingzhao Mansion not only has a high status, but also holds real power!"
"There are not many people like this in Jingzhao Prefecture. There are a few officers who are in charge of the army and punishments, two Shaoyin who joined the army, and the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture."
"I'm not familiar with some of the people who have joined the army, so I'll put them aside for now. It's impossible for eldest brother Quan to be the one. The other Lord Shao Yin seems to be in charge of political affairs. As for the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture"
Li Xin'an thought of Qian Shichang, whom he had never met before. There was only a wall between the two of them that day, which was the closest they got.
"It would be too scary if all the governors of Jingzhao Mansion were members of the Immortality Cult."
Li Xin'an was sighing when suddenly two people walked over from outside the cell, knocked on the wooden fence that was thicker than his arms, and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, stand up and follow us!"
Li Xin'an glanced at the shackles and ropes on their hands, and something bad flashed in her heart.
He calmed down and said: "Two officials, where are you taking me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this is not what you should be asking about!" the jailer scolded, "Come out quickly!"
Li Xin'an sighed quietly. The matter has come to this, and he can only take one step at a time.
He walked out of the cell, and the jailer put shackles on him and pushed him out of the prison.
The two jailers took him to a deserted area. Li Xin'an looked at the surrounding scene and deduced that this place was approaching the back entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.
Is there something that requires you to be taken out of the back door of Jingzhao Mansion?
He had already guessed the plan of the two jailers and said with a smile: "You two officers, can I ask who asked you to kill me?"
"Hey, you're not stupid!" A jailer sneered, "But I'm sorry, I can only make you a fool. Let's put it this way, you messed with someone you shouldn't mess with."
Did I offend someone I shouldn't offend? Li Xin'an thought to himself, but still asked: "Are the two officials planning to take action here?"
"Nonsense, of course we have to take him out of Jingzhao Mansion!" the jailer scolded, "How to deal with it here."
"Don't worry, the two of us are responsible for both killing and burying!" Another person laughed, "We two brothers have done this kind of thing so many times, we are very familiar with it. Do you see, there is this little hemp rope around your neck?
Tie a ring on it, pull it gently, and within ten seconds you will die quietly, very quickly!"
As he spoke, he held up the thick hemp rope and dangled it in front of Li Xin'an's eyes.
Li Xin'an felt a flash of joy in her heart. Fortunately, she was outside Jingzhao Mansion and could still escape. But she didn't know where they had placed her "White Rainbow".
Listening to what they said, the two of them have done a lot of this kind of thing, and there must be many innocent people under their command. Should we kill them too?
There was murderous intent deep in Li Xin'an's eyes. This was the rare time he wanted to attack someone other than a treacherous minister and villain.
Seeing Li Xin'an staring closely at the hemp rope, the two jailers thought he was frightened and burst out laughing.
Not far ahead was the back door. The two jailers also relaxed and their voices became louder.
"When you get down there, don't blame us brothers. We are also working for the people above. In the next life, I will give birth to a good family. Do your duty and don't offend anyone you can't afford to offend."
They walked to the back door and were about to open it when they heard a voice from behind:
"Who wants to go down there, and who can't be offended?"
This voice was very familiar. Li Xin'an turned around in surprise and saw a man coming out from behind the trees next to the trail they came from. He was holding up his pants and carrying a big package behind him. Wasn't it Quan Wanqiu or who else?
Quan's eldest brother, Li Xin'an, was about to scream, but he gave up the idea in an instant because Quan Wanqiu quietly made a gesture to him, telling him not to speak yet.
"Quan Shaoyin." The expressions of the two jailers changed and they became uneasy.
"What are you doing?" Quan Wanchou looked at them, glanced at Li Xin'an, pretended not to recognize him, and said:
"Who is this guy?"
A jailer said tremblingly: "Tell Quan Shaoyin, this is a new prisoner, we, we"
Of course we can't say this to him if we do it. Quan Wanqiu is famous for his uprightness in Jingzhao Mansion. If I say this, I won't die in front of this man!
The jailers were on the verge of crying. They had never expected to bump into anyone else here, and the most difficult person to deal with was Shao Yin Quan Wanqiu. They didn't even prepare an excuse.
What excuse can they use? They sneaked out of the back door quietly with a new prisoner in the evening, holding a hemp rope in their hand. How can they explain this! Go skipping rope with the prisoner?
Seeing the embarrassment of the two of them, Quan Wanqiu sneered: "Qiu Lan, Niu Ji, don't think that I don't know what kind of pickling business you two are doing in Jingzhao Mansion, and how many names you have ruined! What you have done in the past
I didn’t see it, there’s no evidence, so I can’t control it. But I saw this person today, and it’s impossible for me to ignore it!”
Qiu Lanniuji looked at each other and begged: "We brothers dare not not listen to Master Shaoyin's words, but we dare not not do this today!"
"What, are you going to kill someone in front of me?"
The two of them knelt down in a hurry and cried: "Master Quan, we don't dare even if you give us ten more courage, but we can't afford to offend the person who ordered this matter. If we don't do it, we will die!"
"This is interesting!" Quan Wanqiu said with a smile, "I can let you die easily. It seems that the person is still a high official. Why does the high official have to interfere with the life and death of such a prisoner? Who is this person?"
"Sir, we really don't know, we are just doing business."
Quan Wanqiu snorted coldly: "Well, let me ask you, who is the person who did this?"
The two were silent for a while, and then said: "With all due respect, even Master Shaoyin can't control this matter. Please don't embarrass us brothers."
"Oh?" Quan Wanqiu narrowed his eyes and said with interest:
"Is there anyone in Jingzhao Mansion who doesn't take me seriously? Who is he?"
The two jailers hurriedly said: "Sir, I don't dare to say it! I don't dare to say it!"
Li Xin'an lowered his head, with deep shock in his eyes.
It’s all said and done, whether you say it or not, it makes no difference.
Isn’t that person’s identity, that person from the Immortality Cult, the person who wants to kill me, already obvious?
