Although Eunuch Li made sense, this matter cannot be urgent. He needs to wait for the opportunity and put this matter aside for the time being.
What he is still concerned about now is the assassination case, which is an almost persistent concept. Its motivation is not the order of a prince, but his concerns about his relatives.
He was almost 80% sure that Zhang Zhongjian was the assassin who assassinated King Jin that night. Then he needed to know where Zhang Shenjian's assassination motive was? Why did he assassinate King Jin? If it was the order of a certain person or an organization, then
Who is this person or this organization?
More importantly, Niu Niu played a role in the assassination. Both places were related to Zhang Zhongjian, one was his place of duty, the other was Niu Niu's residence, and Zhang Zhongjian was Niu Niu's senior brother.
It seems that there is no direct connection, but a intuition tells Yang Yuanqing that Zhang Zhongjian and this Wancha Village are a place full of mystery and weirdness. The tea shop is not in the tea shop at this time, and she accompanied her aunt to Xingshan.
The temple is burning incense.
Yang Yuanqing walked into the tea shop and a friend came forward to greet him, "Customer, do you want to buy tea?"
"I'm looking for your Uncle Chen, is he here?"
He remembered it very clearly. Niu Niu asked Zhang Zhongjian why he wanted to go to King Qi to serve as a worshiper. Zhang Zhongjian's answer was arranged by Uncle Chen, and then Niu Niu stopped asking. Then the so-called "Uncle Chen" should be a key figure.
The guy hesitated for a moment and immediately entered the inner hall. After a while, Yuan Sizu, the owner of the tea house, hurried out, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Yang, are you looking for Miss Chen? She just happened to be away."
Yang Yuanqing shook her head, "I know she is not here, she accompanied her aunt to Xingshan Temple. I plan to let her move home. I heard her say that she is very caring for Uncle Chen here, so she came to thank her specially. Thank you very much.
He has taken care of my sister these days.”
As he said that, Yang Yuanqing put a few snacks on the table, Yuan Sizu quickly glanced at the snacks, and still smiled, "I guess the girl Qianchen said it was the manager of Chen. It's really a coincidence that he happened to go back to Jiangnan yesterday afternoon to purchase goods.
Now, when he comes back, I will convey my gratitude to him for the young master.”
Although he was very sleek, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but sneer in his heart. A big manager of a tea house could actually arrange for someone to enter the Qi Palace as the chief entourage, which was so big.
"Since that's the case, please ask Master Yuan to express my gratitude!"
Yang Yuanqing did not say it out loud. It was like fishing. First, I had to step on the river and see if there were no fish, and then it was the turn to place the bait and throw the rod.
Yang Yuanqing turned around and left. Yuan Sizu looked at Yang Yuanqing's back and walked away. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The Nanhua Society was extremely strict and would not mention Master Chen to any outsider. He found that their confidentiality measures were a little relaxed, and it actually showed a little.
wind.
Yang Yuanqing did not leave, he was waiting at the entrance of the city. An intuition told him that the so-called Uncle Chen was hiding in the tea shop. He was just a big fish. Zhang Zhongjian and Niu Niu were controlled by him. If the female assassin that night was
Really Niu Niu, then there are two possibilities: Niu Niu lied to her, she didn't actually come back that day.
Then Niu Niu is just a tool of murder, so there is no reason why he was sent to be an assassin when he came to Beijing that day. If he was not familiar with the capital, he would lose his life if he missed it. He did not take Niu Niu's life seriously at all.
No matter which possibility it is, he, Yang Yuanqing, will never tolerate it. He will never tolerate Niu Niu being controlled by an organization. He was the sister he grew up with when he was young. He was his three relatives in this world for about half an hour. Niu Niu and Shen Wuhua's carriages slowly appeared at the gate of the city, and Yang Yuanqing immediately stepped forward to stop the carriage.
"Brother Yuanqing!"
Niu Niu's smiling face appeared on the car window, "Are you here to find me?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled, "I have something important to come to you, come with me!"
Seeing that Yang Yuanqing was a little reluctant, Niu Niu smiled at Chen Wuhua and said, "Grandma, I will go there with my brother Yuanqing and I will come back tonight."
Chen Wuhua nodded, "Come back early!"
She ordered Yang Yuanqing again: "Yuanqing, take good care of her."
"Don't worry, grandma! I'll send her back tonight."
Chen Wuhua's carriage went back, and Niu Niu looked at Yuan Qing and asked with a smile: "Brother Yuan Qing, do you want to take me to dinner?"
Yang Yuanqing nodded. He led a horse from next to him. This was the horse he had just bought from a horse shop in East City. Although it was not a war horse, it was quite strong, with saddles and stirrups.
"You get on the horse! Come with me."
Yang Yuanqing turned over and waited for Niu Niu to get on the horse. He urged Niu Niu to fight the horse and took Niu Niu to Xuan Renfang not far away.
Xuanrenfang is close to Pingkangfang, which is also a hot entertainment place. However, there are many brothels and courtyards in Hepingkangfang. The biggest specialty here is the music shop, many dance shops, and inns are also located in the shop. It has a little bit of cultural atmosphere than Pingkangfang.
Yang Yuanqing took Niu Niu to a Mingyue Tavern. The sound of silk and bamboos and the singing was melodious, and it felt very good. With the attentive greeting of the shop's staff, they went up to the second floor. The second floor was crowded and almost all were full. The guy looked for it. After a long time, I finally found two seats in a corner. It was not bad. They were sitting in the same seat. Yang Yuanqing nodded and sat down with Niu Niu. Yang Yuanqing saw two scoundrels sitting behind Niu Niu. He frowned and thought I changed my seat with Niu Niu, but there were a few men behind him, and when I got closer, I had to forget it.
"Niu Niu, can you drink some wine?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a faint smile.
"Then let's do a little!"
Niu Niu smiled a little reluctantly. Along the way, Yang Yuanqing said nothing, which made her feel an invisible pressure, and she felt a little nervous.
"Get a pot of good rosie wine, and one of the signature dishes, that's all."
Soon, the wine was delivered first. Yang Yuanqing poured a glass of wine for Niu Niu and said with a smile: "Then drink one. I remember you never drank when you were a child, and you would be dizzy after taking a sip."
Niu Niu smiled and said, "Brother Yuanqing, I occasionally drink some, but not much, at most a cup. When I was in Hengshan, my seniors would take turns to treat them. The things there were very cheap, only half a hang of money, and more than a dozen people would Eat very well, Brother Yuanqing, you seem to have a good alcohol tolerance."
"It was also practiced. At first, it was a pound of manai wine, then two pounds, three pounds, and finally I could drink twenty pounds."
"Twenty pounds!"
Niu Niu exclaimed, "Can you fit your stomach?"
"You can just drink it slowly! If you don't have five kilograms of alcohol in that place, you won't call a man. I have a tomboy who joins the army for my father. She can drink five kilograms of alcohol without getting drunk."
"Is it a female soldier?" Niu Niu asked curiously.
"No! I've been dressed as a male soldier, dressed up for five years, and now I've been to become the guard of Princess Yicheng, and I don't say anything to me. I saw her a few days ago, but I didn't say hello to me and left without saying hello to me.
It's right.
"Brother Yuanqing, maybe she is afraid that she can't explain when she sees you. I don't think she is despised by you, and she is also very conflicted."
"Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore. Tell me about you, are you in conflict?" Yang Yuanqing asked as lightly as possible. The tea shop is here, thank Uncle Chen for taking care of you." Yang Yuanqing glanced at her and said.
Niu Niu's face changed and she asked nervously: "How do you know Uncle Chen?"
Seeing Niu Niu's expression, Yang Yuanqing felt a chill. Niu Niu really had something to hide from him. He felt extremely uncomfortable and felt like he was deceived.
"Niu Niu, you shouldn't hide it from me, and you shouldn't deceive me!"
Yang Yuanqing restrained his strong dissatisfaction and said slowly: "Do you understand my feelings?"
Niu Niu waved her hand in a hurry, "No! I have never deceived you in anything."
"Okay, let me ask you, when will you go to Beijing?"
"It was noon the day before I saw you that day. It was true, Brother Yuanqing, do you think I was cheating on you?"
"What about hiding it?" Yang Yuanqing stared at her with sharp eyes.
Niu Niu lowered her head slowly, and she felt a little ashamed. After a while, she sighed and said, "You ask! I will try my best to answer. If I can't answer, please forgive me."
Yang Yuanqing looked at both sides and lowered his voice, "I want to know, on the night you entered Beijing, was it you who assassined the female assassin of the King of Jin?"
Niu Niu was shocked all over and looked at Yang Yuanqing incredibly, do you know?"
"It's very simple. I am the one who cut off your arrow. I know that the other person is your senior brother Zhang Zhongjian. I compete with him today and have confirmed that it is him."
Niu Niu has not recovered from the shock yet, she murmured to herself, "How could it be you? No wonder I feel so familiar, it makes me restless all night."
"Then you admit it." Yang Yuanqing stared at her tightly, and anger appeared in her eyes.
Niu Niu nodded silently, and she lowered her head deeply.
"Bang!"
Yang Yuanqing punched the table, and the table was tui'crack!, with a sound, the wine pot and glass rolled all over the floor, and Niu Niu suddenly covered her face and started crying, "Brother Yuanqing, I really... I don't know it's you!
”
The entire second floor suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at them in surprise. At this time, two big men in the air behind Niu Niu exchanged eyes. One of them turned around and came forward, patted Niu Niu on the shoulder, and coaxed her:
Don’t cry, little lady, brother will make the decision for you!”
Niu Niu shook his hand away in disgust, and the big man reached out to think about Niu Niu Niu's face, and laughed: "This little girl looks so pretty, white and nenally. If others don't like it, then give it to us."
Yang Yuanqing's eyes burst out with murderous intent, and he took action very quickly, grabbing the hairy hand that was stretched towards Niu Niu's face, "Crack!, the sound of broken bones sounded, and the big man's hand was twisted alive. Yang Yuanqing then kicked him away with a kick, screaming
In the middle of the game, the big man was kicked several feet away, knocked over seven or eight tables in a row, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The other man was so scared that he was scattered and turned around and wanted to run away, but Yang Yuanqing grabbed his neck and lifted him up in the air. Yang Yuanqing originally wanted to break his neck, but he finally restrained the murderous intent in his heart and casually took it.
The big man threw it out of the window on the second floor.
He glanced at the lobby coldly, and the lobby was silent, and all the drinkers were like sculptures, daring to move.
"Brother Yuanqing, I don't." Niu Niu cried with tears on her face.
After dealing with the two scoundrels, Yang Yuanqing's anger calmed down a little. Seeing that Niu Niu was crying sadly, he felt a little unbearable, so he said to her: "Go! Go and talk to another place."
He picked up the leather bag and turned around and left. Niu Niu wiped away her tears, and obediently stood up and followed him downstairs. The guy and the shopkeeper dared not stop them, and watched them leave the diner...
