The full harem escape game

Chapter 458

"What's going on, who did it?!"

Ren Yi stood up suddenly when she heard the words, almost knocking the table over.

After Xia Qingyang finished reading the words on the letter, her heart was as cold as falling into an ice cellar. During the few days she lived in the City Lord's Mansion, although she did not have as many contacts with the City Lord and his wife as Ren Yi and Queen Yin, she also met Fan Xi twice by chance. Juanjuan, the youngest daughter.

I remember that the little girl was cute and cute, and she was not afraid of life. She even picked two flowers for her and asked her to pin them on the bamboo hat, saying they were so pretty.

They are all dead?

The news was delivered by Su Quan and Ye Jingqing.

The two of them did not leave Luoshu City with Xia Qingyang and the others.

Didn't Xia Qingyang entrust them with the task of "taking down the commercial territory of the Dachun Kingdom"? This first stop, they planned to start from Luoshu City.

It just so happened that Xia Qingyang wanted to see if she could startle the snake, so he asked them to pay attention to Fan Xi's movements.

I didn't expect to get such news.

It is now the third day after Xia Qingyang and his party left Luoshu City.

The time was written on the letter sent by Su Quantuo Vulture. It can be seen that the tragedy happened one day after they left Luoshu City.

And according to the normal speed of news circulation, if there was no Flying Eagle transmission, Xia Qingyang and the others would probably have to go to the next city to hear about it.

Ren Yi clenched her fists and walked around the room twice before she said angrily, "We started attacking as soon as we left. It seems that the killer has already ambushed in the city. He will kill us as soon as we leave. Okay, okay." , it seems that there is no need to scare the snake, this stick is meant to hit the snake's seven inches!"

Empress Yin reached out to read the letter, and Xia Qingyang handed it to her.

Of course Xia Qingyang is also anxious and angry, but her status prevents her from losing her temper at will like the "lord".

She must calm down, and even analyze cold-bloodedly——

"My senior brother said that he was lying in ambush in the mansion, and wanted to see if anyone would communicate with Secretary Fan Xi. Unexpectedly, the killer poured poison into the drinking water of the city lord's mansion, which resulted in the death of the city lord's family."

Su Quan and Ye Jingqing were also very annoyed, but there was nothing they could do, they really couldn't guard against this.

Ren Yi closed her eyes: "It's poison again. Is it still the West Deng Kingdom? But didn't you say that even if Fan Xi had an affair with Xi Deng, after he left the capital, he would be useless? How could it be a year later? , suddenly someone wanted to kill him to silence him?"

Xia Qingyang paused: "Maybe it's because of you, Your Highness."

"I?"

"Well, maybe your influence is deeper than you imagined. As soon as you make a move, you will be noticed immediately. And the people behind Fan Xi are worried that Fan Xi will tell you something ulterior. Sending out killers—probably, the killers should have wiped out the city lord's family before we arrived in Luoshu City. But we speeded up and arrived in Luoshu City ahead of time. As a result, the killers didn't dare to do anything in front of us, which dragged us all the way leave."

Xia Qingyang's analysis also confirmed Ren Yi's thoughts.

Xia Qingyang paused for a moment: "However, this also proves that Fan Xi is indeed carrying a big secret. I guess, maybe a year ago, when Ren Fu sent him to investigate the food relief case, he actually found something, but he didn't Dare to say it, or it was silenced at the time."

Ren Yi was taken aback: "Do you think the killer this time was involved in the food relief case?"

"Ah."

Fan Xi carries two things on his back.

One was the incident that caused his wife to be poisoned ten years ago.

The other incident was the food relief case that led to him being demoted to Luo Shucheng a year ago.

"Maybe he was really incompetent in the food relief case a year ago, and he didn't find anything." Ren Yi frowned.

"It just so happened that a year ago, Fan Xi's daughter married An Youcheng's son. I heard that Fan Xi was not further demoted, and An Youcheng intervened."

The latter one was heard by Xia Qingyang when he accidentally heard the gossip from the flowers in the City Lord's Mansion.

Ren Yi: "You mean, the person who sent the killer is probably An Youcheng?"

Xia Qingyang: "Not necessarily. Because there are many officials involved in the food relief case, as long as any one of them is afraid and worried that Fan Xi will hand over the evidence, he will send someone to solve the future troubles."

Among them, the possibility of An Youcheng is actually low.

Because An Youcheng had already controlled one of Fan Xi's daughters, he knew that Fan Xi would not dare to act rashly.

But in the hands of other corrupt officials, there is no excuse for Fan Xi, they are likely to act impulsively.

Empress Yin almost followed the thoughts of the two of them: "That is to say, the secrets carried by Fan Xi will disappear forever like this?"

"No." Xia Qingyang and Ren Yi said at the same time.

Xia Qingyang: "That mirror may correspond to the secret that killed Fan Xi."

Ren Yi: "I asked Lao Zhou to see it. He has done some research on this kind of strange craftsmanship. He said that the dent on the handle of the mirror is likely to make it a lock key, which can be used to open some mechanism or secret door. "

Xia Qingyang did not expect that Lao Zhou had such abilities.

It seems that Ren Yi has a lot of capable people.

Empress Yin could hear goose bumps all over her body: "The mirror was presented by Fan Xi at the gate of the city before we left. Could it be that Fan Xi had already foreseen that something might happen to him at that time, so he handed over the important secret to Your Highness? But what kind of organ does this mirror handle correspond to?"

Ren Yi turned to look at Xia Qingyang.

Xia Qingyang was silent for a moment: "It should not be in the City Lord's Mansion in Luoshu City. Fan Xi has only been here for a year, and there is no time to make such major changes to the house."

Ren Yi: "Old Zhou also said that judging from the degree of wear and tear, the dent should be a bit old."

"Since he handed over the mirror to His Highness, maybe the place corresponding to this key is on our way." Xia Qingyang looked at Ren Yi and said, "Is there any way to find out all of Fan Xi's resume? I think See where he's been an official."

"Okay, but I don't think we can find it in this small county. I'll ask Lao Lin to do it right away when we get to the next city."
-
The appearance of the killer, in addition to confirming the important fact that Fan Xi holds a secret, also sent a dangerous signal to Xia Qingyang and his party——

I don't know if the other party is coming for them, but from now on, they must work even faster.

After the rest, everyone set off immediately.

After another two days, they finally arrived at the next city, Chichun City.

In fact, before Xia Qingyang left the palace, she had already heard about this place.

To ask why.Because the case of robbery of military rations that caused a sensation in the entire capital happened in Chichun City.

"Brother and Zuo Cheng arrived in Chichun City yesterday."

In the carriage, Xia Qingyang showed the letter sent by He Minghua Feiying to Ren Yi, "Brother said in the letter that the official sent by the imperial court to investigate the military ration case arrived seven days ago. Chichun City is now heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to check in and out of the city." Strict. But they have entered the city safely, don't worry."
