Sun Ruijie immediately dismissed all his thoughts.
If it was someone who gave the order, it wouldn't be so easy to fool. If someone doesn't get it right, he might get into trouble.
When Wang Xikang and others were discussing how to deal with and assassinate Zhao Jin and Chen Xiao, Zhao Jin came out of his room and avoided the people patrolling the government office.
He quietly approached the room where Chen Xiao was.
Perhaps because of the conflict between him and Chen Xiao during the day, Wang Xikang arranged their rooms far apart.
Of course, it may also be because of other thoughts.
Zhao Jin gathered his thoughts and reached out to push open the door of Chen Xiao's room when he suddenly noticed a murderous aura.
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and almost instantly understood who this murderous aura came from.
However, Zhao Jin still opened the door.
When Zhao Jin put his hand on the door, Chen Xiao felt someone approaching. He put his hand on the handle of the knife and stared at the door with burning eyes.
Zhao Jin pushed the door open and walked in. Before he could make a sound, a fist with a powerful punch was already coming towards his face!
When he found out it was Zhao Jin, Chen Xiao let go of his hand on the handle of the knife, turned to make a fist with his right hand, and hit Zhao Jin hard.
Zhao Jin dodged nimbly, and the next moment, his long legs swept across!
Although Zhao Jin's force was extremely strong, Chen Xiao's lower body was very stable. When Zhao Jin's long leg swept over, his leg was shocked by the strong force for a moment, and soon returned to normal.
As if they didn't know each other, the two fought directly in the room, and Chen Xiao even took the time to close the door.
Zhao Jin narrowly avoided Chen Xiao's attack, and then suddenly attacked Chen Xiao again.
Except for not using the knife, they showed no mercy in every blow.
Even though Zhao Jin and Chen Xiao had deliberately avoided the furniture in the room, the sound of fighting was still a bit obvious and even spread outside the door.
Several government guards were patrolling until this point and heard some strange noises in Chen Xiao's room. After looking at each other, they quickly stepped forward.
“Tuk-tuk!”
Zhao Jin and Chen Xiao looked at each other, their eyes condensed.
Zhao Jin nodded slightly to Chen Xiao, and then quickly found a corner to hide.
"Captain Chen, what happened? Do you need our help?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leading yamen guard opened the door directly.
Chen Xiao sat in front of the desk and looked coldly at the government guards who came in, "What are you doing here?"
The Yamen Guard took a quick glance at the situation in the room and found nothing unusual.
"The villain heard some noise outside and was afraid that something might happen to Captain Chen, so he hurriedly came in to take a look."
Chen Xiao had a stinky face, looked away, and said softly: "Get out!"
"Yes, yes!" The Yamen Guard quickly retreated and closed the door.
After everyone left, Zhao Jin came out of the dark corner and sat directly opposite Chen Xiao.
"You know it's me but you still do it. Colonel Chen hasn't fought with you for too long. Are your hands itchy?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Zhao Jin, his expression was still not good-looking, and he ignored Zhao Jin at all.
Zhao Jin laughed angrily, "You didn't use the knife, which means you must have guessed that I did it deliberately during the day."
"Why?" Chen Xiao finally said.
In the end, Zhao Jin, who only heard these three words, glanced at Chen Xiao and muttered in a low voice: "I need to clean up."
After complaining, Zhao Jin calmed down and got down to business, "My people are already investigating secretly. This is not all to make them lower their vigilance."
Zhao Jin's voice was very low, "The traces of Zuo Shilang have not been found yet. It is hard to say whether he is alive or dead. I am wandering around just to see if I can find any clues."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao's expression softened a lot.
"What was found?" Chen Xiao didn't know much about Guanlong County. Zhao Qian sent him here mainly to protect Zhao Jin.
In order to avoid Chen Xiao being tricked because he was unclear about the matter at the critical moment, Zhao Jin told Chen Xiao everything he knew.
"So, you plan to start with Mingrui, trade with him, and get the account books from him."
Zhao Jin nodded, "What we lack most is evidence. As long as we get the evidence, all the difficulties now will be solved."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, then said with a slight twist: "If you need help, just call me."
"Hahaha," Zhao Jin laughed, his eyebrows curved, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."
Zhao Jin took a deep breath and said, "Now let's wait for news from Mingrui. Someone has already contacted him."
"Okay, I will keep an eye out for the traces of Minister Zuo."
"Be careful of Wang Xikang." Zhao Jin's eyes darkened, "If they dare to attack Zuo Shilang, there is no guarantee that they will also attack us just in case."
and……
Zhao Jin's eyebrows pressed down.
This matter is related to the prince. The prince has already regarded him as a thorn in his side and will not let go of this opportunity.
Chen Xiao paused for a moment, "Okay, I understand."
Ming Mansion.
The entire Ming Mansion is luxurious and beautiful, but there is a remote yard that is deserted and overgrown with weeds.
There was silence in the yard, except for the dim candlelight in one room.
The furniture inside is simple, mostly shabby, and even has a damp and musty smell.
An older servant curled up and slept in the outer room, lest his master inside call him in the middle of the night.
The so-called master inside was lying on the bed with his eyes open, covered with a thin quilt, and there was even a hole in the bed tent above his head.
Mingrui didn't know how things turned out like this.
Feeling the faint pain coming from his legs, the hatred in his chest almost overwhelmed him.
As soon as Seng Fan came in, he saw the owner lying on the bed in a dilapidated house with eyes full of hatred.
Hearing the noise, Mingrui turned his head and looked at Seng Fan, without any movement in his eyes, and said calmly: "Are you here to kill me?"
"He sent you here, right?" Mingrui started talking to himself before Seng Fan could say anything.
"Presumably, he was very disappointed when I fell off the horse and didn't die, right? Huh? Isn't that right?!"
Mingrui's voice became more and more excited, the hatred in his eyes became more intense, and his eyes turned red.
The old slave outside was awakened by Mingrui's voice and asked with a bit of dumbness: "Master? What happened to the master?"
Mingrui suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Uncle Bo! I'm fine, don't come in!"
The old slave was about to go into the inner room to find out what was going on. Hearing this, he paused and hesitated, "Master, are you really okay?"
"I'm fine, Uncle Bo, you go out first." Mingrui tried his best to keep his voice steady and persuaded the old slave to leave.
"But, Master..." Uncle Bo vaguely felt that something was wrong and was unwilling to leave.
Mingrui closed his eyes, "Uncle Bo! Are you even unwilling to listen to me?!"
"Hey! No, old slave, get out now, get out now!" Uncle Bo quickly turned around and walked out of the room, fearing that Mingrui would think too much.
