Jinghong Building

Chapter 83 Night visit to the King's Mansion

He Ran wore a night clothes and hid herself in the darkness.

Before she arrived, she had seen the map of the King of Jin's Mansion. Yes, Xinggu had a map of the King of Jin's Mansion in her hand. Don't ask how it came about. This was not a big deal for the shopkeeper of Jinghonglou.

According to the map, He Ran found Feng Xieying's residence without any effort.

Xinggu said that Feng Xieying is handsome, and King Jin is handsome. Before he rebelled, the two of them often rode white horses and walked side by side on the street, provoking the young girl from Jinyang. The wife was distracted and rushed to throw purses and veils at them.

So, Feng Xieying, who was in He Ran's mind, had ice skin, jade bones, red lips, white teeth, a face like peach blossoms, and a body like willows.

Don’t ask why Master He gave Feng Xieying such an image. Who asked him to go in and out with King Jin all day long? What’s wrong with Master He thinking more?

But Feng Xieying in front of him was different from He Ran’s imagination, and even disappointed He Dadang a little.

Under the dim light, a young man was holding a scroll in his hand and reading under the light.

He is not a handsome man, at most he is pretty, but his temperament is gentle, quiet and peaceful. Just a glance will remind people of the spring breeze in April, which is warm and gentle, neither cold nor dry.

He spoke out: "Mi'er, this book is very suitable for you, please read it."

His voice is also like his temperament, warm and friendly.

Mei'er is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old scholar. He took the book and said with a smile: "You have not left any of the three new books sent from the seal shop, and you have given them all to others."

Feng Xieying smiled: "It's all good books, and good books are worth giving away."

Mei'er smiled and nodded, holding the book and retreated.

The smile on Feng Xieying's lips gradually faded away. He sat in front of the desk for a moment, as if he had remembered something, so he called Mei'er in and said, "You clean up, we will go to Fenzhou early tomorrow morning."

Mei'er frowned slightly: "Those people in Fenzhou won't listen to you, so you'd better not go. Besides, the lord doesn't care."

"The lord is very busy and it is impossible to be fully prepared. Okay, go and clean up."

Feng Xieying's tone was gentle, but she showed a hint of helplessness.

He Ran thought to himself, Fenzhou? Fotouling is located in Fenzhou.

Is Feng Xieying going to Fenzhou because of the local forced robbery?

The King of Jin was not in the mansion, and there was only the old princess in the mansion.

He Ran went to Xiuyuan where the old princess lived.

Since the death of the old King Jin, the old princess has moved into Xiuyuan and has never come out again.

It is said that even the old princess did not leave the show garden even when she got married.

There is a Buddhist temple in the Xiuyuan. The old princess eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name, ignoring the world.

When He Ran was about to arrive at Xiuyuan, a team of guards happened to patrol by. She dodged and hid behind a big tree that was thick and thin.

The guard walked past the big tree. When He Ran was about to come out from behind the tree, he suddenly heard a subtle voice.

The sound seemed to be coming from a big tree.

She pressed her ears to the trunk so that she could hear it more clearly, but unfortunately she was still intermittent, but she was sure that this was indeed the sound of speaking.

The map is not marked with this big tree. Obviously, the drawing man does not know that there are secrets in the big tree.

I just don’t know how this mechanism was built. The big tree is still alive and full of vitality.

This place cannot be kept for a long time, He Ran can only secretly record this matter and jump into the Xiuyuan.

There were lights in the garden. He Ran looked for the lights and walked over, and there was a Buddhist temple. A female nun in a small hat sat cross-legged on the futon, carrying Buddhist beads and chanting sutras silently in her mouth.

With the faint light, He Ran saw clearly the face of the nun. She was no longer young, and the years ruthlessly carved deep and shallow marks on her face.

And the exposed area under the niang hat is bare. Is this really a slaughter? And not just dressing up as a nun?

Outside the Buddhist temple, a young nun in the same dress was dozing off against the wall. She was both fifteen or sixteen years old. It was supposed to be the maid of the old princess, and she also shaved her hair with the master.

He Ran looked around and compared with the lushness in other parts of the King of Jin's Mansion, the Xiuyuan was like another world, with bare everywhere, not even a single piece of grass.

It should not be called Xiuyuan, but it should be called Huangyuan.

There were no guards in the Xiuyuan, and there were no one except a few servants who had already fallen asleep. Fortunately, those servants still had hair on their heads exposed from the quilt.

He Ran hadn't stayed in Xiuyuan for too long, so she left the King of Jin's Mansion, walked around the streets, and returned to a small yard where she settled.

The next day, news from the King of Jin's mansion finally came. It turned out that the reason why Feng Xieying suddenly returned to Jinyang was because the King of Jin was assassinated and injured.

That's right, King Jin was assassinated, but this time, the news was hidden tightly. Jinghonglou's nails in King Jin's mansion took a lot of effort to find out.

The last time the King of Jin was attacked, it caused a lot of controversy, and the Jin army retreated a hundred miles.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

But this time, there was no splash at all.

The last attack may have been directed and acted by King Jin, but this time, it was true.

The person who assassinated the King of Jin was his personal soldiers!

This personal soldier is from Fenzhou. He has four brothers and three of them join the army. Two of them died in battle when attacking Pingshan. Because he was selected to be a personal soldier for the King of Jin, he had never been on the battlefield. Survived.

However, not long ago, he learned about it.

The village where his family is located was robbed by officers and soldiers. The old mother fell down when she was pushed and never got up again. The thirteen-year-old younger brother and twelve-year-old younger sister were taken away by officers and soldiers, and their whereabouts were unknown.

The officers and soldiers came to their village to ask for military rations. It is said that as early as ten days ago, they had notified the villages that they were raising military rations, but their village was too poor to get the amount paid, so they came to the village to ask for it.

The so-called asking for money means going to flip the rice jar from house to house, robbing whatever you see, and filling it with military rations.

The personal soldier heard about this from his fellow villager and took advantage of the time to swing his sword at the King of Jin.

The knife failed to slash the King of Jin's neck and injured it on the shoulder. The personal soldiers were killed by the guards on the spot.

Feng Xieying investigated the matter and found out the hometown of the personal soldier, and only then did he know the whole story.

He Ran remembered the conversation between Feng Xieying and Meier and asked, "What is the difference between Fenzhou and other places?"

Xinggu said, "There is a difference. Cai Jie, the commander of the Fenzhou Guard, is the younger brother of the old princess and the uncle of the Jin prince. He was also cultivated by the old king of Jin. The whole of Fenzhou, together with Pingyang, is his. people."

He Ran suddenly remembered something, and she called Liuxia and asked, "Is the helper contacted by the Seventeenth Grandpa also the surname Cai?"

Liuxia nodded: "Cai Qianhu in Fan County."

He Ran sneered: "If you don't clean the whole house, how can you clean up the world? It's all like this!"

Xinggu thought to himself, the boss is talking about King Jin, but what's going on with that "all"? Who else is the same except King Jin?
