"What? You said that Baoyue Tower was sold by Fan Xian to Qin Hao?"
The second prince suddenly stood up with bare feet.
Xie Bian's face was as cold as frost: "The news that just came has been confirmed. The person who took over Baoyue Building is Si Lili."
"What about Yuan Meng?"
"Yuan Meng was retained, but she was only responsible for teaching the skills. In addition, all the nursing homes were dismissed."
The second prince held grapes in his mouth and paced while chewing: "So the people we installed in Baoyue Tower are all gone?"
"There are still a few hidden stakes, but they are just handymen and of no great use."
The second prince frowned: "This Qin Hao seems to be very close to the prince? Is he a princeling?"
"Yan Xiaoyi died in his hands."
A smile appeared on the second prince's lips: "Not everyone in this world is as accepting of death as Fan Xian. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies."
"Your Highness, he has now become a third-grade official and a ninth-grade master. I'm afraid ordinary things won't get into his eyes." Xie Bi'an reminded.
The second prince waved his hand casually: "He's just a third-rank official. He can't be considered a high-ranking official. Besides, he doesn't have a title yet. Help me make an appointment with him."
"yes......."
........
"Tell the Second Prince for me that Qin will definitely come to the appointment on time." Qin Hao glanced at the content on the greeting card and agreed. He was worried that he could not find the right time, but the Second Prince actually took the initiative to come to the door. Naturally, he would not
Missed such a good opportunity.
Xie Bian immediately reported to the second prince when he returned.
"I'm just saying that there is only one Fan Xian in this world. No matter how big the hatred is, as long as there are enough benefits, war can be turned into friendship." The second prince laughed proudly.
Then he curled his lips and said: "It's boring, it's too boring. Except for Fan Xian, everyone in this world is mediocre."
Xie Bi'an hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what exactly did you write in the secret letter to him that actually made him put aside his hatred of attack and murder and cooperate with you?"
"I promise him to become another Qin family." The second prince laughed a little maniacally.
Xie Bian curled his lips: "He actually believed such an outrageous promise?"
The second prince said with a straight face: "No, if I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely help him to the position of Privy Council envoy. Qin Ye is old, and he is only loyal to his father."
While the second prince was still dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Hao had quietly sneaked into the bottom of the lake in Taiping Villa. During the recent period, Emperor Qing was busy with official duties and had no time to come to Taiping Villa for training. With Qin Hao's skills, he secretly
There is no difficulty in infiltrating.
Reopening the secret room at the bottom of the lake, Qin Hao found parts that could replace the Barrett sniper rifle among a pile of firearms.
Fan Mansion.
Fan Xian looked at the Barrett sniper rifle on the table obsessively. Under the candlelight, the Barrett exuded the unique luster of metal.
"I never imagined that one day I would see the complete Barrett in this world."
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at his "disgusting" behavior and angrily slapped away his hand that was touching the gun body.
After Fan Xian calmed down, he asked in an incomprehensible tone: "Are you really planning to kill the second prince with this thing?"
"Otherwise? I put so much effort into it, is it just for fun?"
"Who are you going to let do it?"
"You don't need to know this. You'd better think about how to deal with His Majesty's anger."
Fan Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Yes, the emperor's relatives were assassinated one after another in the capital. This was undoubtedly a slap in Qing's face. What's more, the one who died this time was Emperor Qing's favorite son. We can foresee how furious Emperor Qing would be.
.
.......
Si Lili looked at the strange parts in front of him and looked at Qin Hao suspiciously: "Is this thing really as amazing as you say?"
"Let's go to the suburbs and try it tomorrow, and you'll know." Qin Hao smiled lightly.
The next day, thirty miles outside the city, there was Yuquan Peak.
A father and son who went hunting in the mountains ran home in a panic. The father and son were usually the most capable men in the village, but now they were so scared that they huddled in the bed and couldn't say anything.
The people in the village thought they had encountered something dirty, but they invited many "experts" to cure it but nothing could be done.
The father and son kept repeating one sentence.
"The mountain god is angry."
After they calmed down a little, they told what happened.
That day, the father and son were checking the traps arranged in the woods. Suddenly they heard a thunderbolt, and then they saw the boulders at the top of Yuquan Peak shattering. The wild beasts in the mountain were frightened and ran like headless flies.
The father and son managed to save their lives by hiding in a tree. When they came back, they were in the same shape as before due to excessive fright.
Later, the village gathered a lot of young and strong laborers and went to Yuquan Peak. As a result, they found a huge rock that was blown apart on the top of the mountain. The villagers unanimously believed that such a "miracle" could not be caused by man.
"It's the mountain god playing the drums."
"The mountain god appears."
The deeds were reported to the local government. The yamen boss naturally sneered at such nonsense and didn't take it to heart at all, leaving the villagers to their own devices.
........
Three days later, by the Liujing River, Zuixianju resided.
Due to the influence of Prince Jing Li Hongcheng, most brothels were forced to close down. Originally, Zuixianju was no exception, but tonight, the lights were bright. For the second prince, it was just a matter of words to reopen a brothel.
It was just a matter of words, but in order to express his sincerity, he specially invited all the oirans from the Liujing River to Zuixianju.
"Xie Bi'an, do you think there are so many courtesans competing for beauty, can you make him forget Si Lili?"
Xie Bian looked dull and had no intention of answering.
The second prince couldn't help complaining: "You are boring, extremely boring."
"Your Highness, General Qin's carriage has arrived." The old bustard said with a flattering look.
Upon hearing this, the second prince immediately put on a sincere smile and hurried to the door of Zuixianju, when suddenly a thunder pierced the sky.
The next second, the second prince's head exploded like a watermelon.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! That’s right, it exploded. The old bustard beside her was shocked to the core. When she came back to her senses, the headless body of the second prince had fallen to the ground.
.
Xie Bian became alert the moment the "thunder" sounded, but before he could react, he saw the second prince's head explode completely. At that moment, Xie Bian was temporarily stunned.
"he died?"
"The second prince is dead?"
"He...just died like that?"
The second prince, who was ambitious, good at playing with people's hearts, and very likely to ascend the throne and become the next Emperor Qing, died in front of him like this?
"No, definitely not."
"It must be a dummy, yes, it must be a substitute. He can't die so easily."
Xie Bian lost his usual calmness and muttered to himself, completely unable to accept the fact that the second prince died, even if he died right in front of his eyes.
Screams and cries resounded throughout Zuixianju.
"Don't mess around. No one is allowed to stand still and no one is allowed to move. You go and report to the Jingzhao Mansion. You go and report to the Military and Horse Department. If anyone dares to move even a single step of the grass or trees here, they will be killed without mercy!"
Xie Bian looked up and found that it was Qin Hao who was giving the orders. He didn't care about the past festivals, walked quickly to Qin Hao, gritted his teeth and said.
"I was just next to His Highness, and I heard a thunder. I didn't have time to react, and His Highness just..."
Qin Hao directly raised his hand to interrupt: "You should keep these words to tell the people in Jingzhao Mansion and the Investigation Institute. I am also one of the suspects now, and it is not my turn to find the murderer."
Soon, the governor of Jingzhao and the commander of the Military and Horse Division came with their troops and horses, and surrounded the entire Zuixianju with three floors inside and three floors outside.
"General Qin, this matter is of great importance and I have offended him."
"Just do whatever you have to do, don't be embarrassed."
Just when the governor of Jingzhao was about to take Qin Hao away, a group of people dressed in black suddenly blocked the way.
"The investigation office handles the case."
Fan Xian walked up to the second prince's headless body and felt mixed emotions for a moment. He hated the second prince, and sometimes he even wanted to chop him up with his own hands and give him to Lao Jintou to avenge the people who were innocently killed, but he
He even hopes to bring the second prince to justice.
He wanted to use the second prince's execution to make the Qing Kingdom have laws to follow, so that the people of the Qing Kingdom would no longer suffer unjust injustice, and also let the privileged classes know that once the law is violated, even the princes will not be spared.
However, before he could find conclusive evidence of the second prince's crime, the culprit died.
Fan Xian tried hard to control himself not to look in the direction of Qin Hao. He knew that once a flaw was revealed at this time, Qin Hao would fall into an irreversible situation.
"Ahem, since the forensic institute is handling the case, let's withdraw first." When Jingzhao Prefecture Yin saw Fan Xian at this moment, he felt as if he had seen a savior and handed over the case-handling authority without saying a word.
The commander of the Military and Horse Division also reacted very quickly. Without saying a word, he withdrew with his men and horses. The person who died was Emperor Qing's favorite second prince. No matter how well this case was handled, it would be difficult to get a reward from Emperor Qing. On the contrary, a
If it is not done well, it will be a serious crime of beheading and confiscating the property.
Just when Fan Xian was in a dilemma, Chen Pingping led the black knight into the scene.
"Leave this place to me. If you have any grudges with His Highness, you should avoid suspicion."
Fan Xian knew that Chen Pingping was helping him, so he gratefully cupped his fists and handed over his hands to him, and left with everyone else.
From the beginning to the end, Fan Xian never glanced at Qin Hao, even the corner of his eye was forcibly pressed down by him.
After Fan Xian left, Chen Pingping waved his hand with the black cavalry and surrounded Zuixianju. Then he brought everyone present inside the Zuixianju and isolated them all. Black cavalry guards were arranged at the door to make it airtight.
"General Qin, I heard that you protected the scene just now. I would like to thank you. Otherwise, with so many people making a fuss, the thieves might have escaped."
Yan Ruohai said in a gentle tone after pushing Chen Pingping into Qin Hao's room.
Qin Hao raised his hand to Chen Pingping and said, "You don't need to say thank you for what you have done."
"I just heard Xie Bian say that everyone was confused and at a loss at that time. Why is General Qin so calm?"
"I heard that Dean Chen was also a ninth-level master before. You should know that once you reach the ninth level, your body and mind will be very comparable to others."
Chen Pingping nodded slowly: "Well, it makes sense, but I heard from Xie Bi'an that the reason why the second prince came to Zuixianju today was to entertain General Qin?"
"indeed so."
"Oh? Then what is the purpose of this banquet?"
"The Second Highness promised that if I help him ascend to the throne, he can be replaced by the old General Qin Ye in the future."
A playful smile appeared on Chen Pingping's lips: "General Qin, the crime of treason is not a light one. If you say it so easily, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"
"Now that the matter has come to this, what's the use of concealing it? Your Majesty will punish the crime, and Qin will bear the responsibility as long as he can, so as not to harm his family." Qin Hao said in a deep voice.
Chen Pingping nodded after hearing this: "Then General Qin will rest here for a period of time. When the forensic institute finds the real culprit, he will naturally clear General Qin's name. If General Qin thinks of any clues, he can also report to the forensic institute.
Provided, the sooner the case is solved, the sooner His Majesty's anger will be calmed."
After coming out of Qin Hao's room, Yan Ruohai pushed Chen Pingping to the backyard of Zuixianju.
"Dean, do you suspect that this matter has something to do with General Qin?" Yan Ruohai asked curiously.
A flash of light flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes: "Just because the second prince died at the banquet he was invited to, he can't escape his involvement."
Yan Ruohai reminded: "But Xie Bian said that the time and place of the invitation were decided by the second prince, and if he really sent someone to attack and kill the second prince, he could have chosen a time to stay out of it."
"Perhaps he wants to do the opposite?" Chen Pingping said seriously.
"His Majesty was furious when he heard about this. The second prince is not the crown prince of Prince Jing. An ambiguous Northern Qi spy can explain that."
"Your Majesty has issued an order that if the real culprit cannot be found, both your and my heads will be forfeited."
Yan Ruohai was puzzled: "The Inspection Institute has conducted an investigation within a ten-mile radius and found no trace of the murderer. What method did the murderer use to kill the second prince?"
A glimmer of longing flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes: "There are only two possibilities, either our people missed it, or the murderer was carried out ten miles away."
"Ten miles away? Impossible. Even the ninth-grade archery god Yan Xiaoyi doesn't have such a far range."
"In this world, bows and arrows are not the only ones that can kill enemies from a distance."
At this moment, the team investigating the scene ran all the way to the two of them.
"Dean, Sir Yan, no traces of arrows were found at the scene, only this strange copper skin, which should have been filled with gunpowder."
Chen Pingping took the bloody shrapnel, put it on the tip of her nose, smelled it, and said to Yan Ruohai behind her: "Enter the palace."
Not long after, Chen Pingping arrived at the palace.
Emperor Qing turned his back to him: "Have you found it?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
"What is this?"
"It's not clear yet, but there is a high probability that the murderer used it to kill the Second Highness."
Emperor Qing took the shrapnel and looked at it again and again, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
"When the two imperial uncles died, did you hear two thunderous sounds?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Xie Bi'an, the personal bodyguard of the second prince who was present at the time, also heard similar noises."
