Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 72 Bastard
The Minister of Justice Xu Younian had been on Liang Heng's kill list half a month ago.
However, assassinating a second-rank official of the imperial court was a very risky thing, so Liang Heng first killed Jingjifu, trying to provoke Xu Younian to use his power to take action against Tianxing Pavilion.
Then Liang Heng was forced to kill him in order to avoid the death medal to atone for his crime.
Active assassination and passive counterattack are two different things. As long as Xu Younian abused his power for personal gain first, Liang Heng's killing of him would be justified. Even if the government and the public were dissatisfied, they would turn a blind eye.
But if it is an active assassination, then it will be a big problem.
Even if there was a golden medal of immunity from death to atone for the crime, the imperial court would most likely not allow such a daring and presumptuous Tianxing Pavilion to continue to be located in the capital.
Even if the family is large and powerful, it can be overthrown with just a word from the emperor.
Why bother to accuse someone?
However, Liang Heng never expected that Xu Younian would take the initiative in another way. Now Tianxing Pavilion did not have to take risks. Liang Heng could investigate under the identity of Shen Xuanheng, which was not only legitimate but also allowed him to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the court's vision.
He, the Prince of Zhennan, has been silent for too long.
The afternoon wind was a bit sultry, making the peach trees rustle. There were few clouds in the sky, and peach blossoms were falling on the ground. Su Xuqing was sitting under the peach tree with her face in her hands, in a daze.
In the morning, Zhao came over to make trouble and ruined her good mood. Now Shen Xuanheng is not around. She is bored but also worried about him. She is worried that he is tired and that something has happened to him.
Familiar footsteps sounded, and a smile appeared on Su Xuqing's lips.
The person behind him reached out and hugged him, then asked, "What are you thinking about, ma'am?"
Su Xuqing smiled even more and said gently, "I'm thinking about you."
She turned around, holding onto Shen Xuanheng's waist, then raised her peach blossom eyes and looked at him with a spring-like gaze, "How is it, have you found the murderer?"
"I did find her, but unfortunately she ran away."
Shen Xuanheng pretended to be angry, "This Liang Heng really doesn't know how to do things! I will need to take action myself later!"
Su Xuqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "You are taking advantage of me. Pavilion Master Liang took great pains to help you investigate. The murderer ran away unintentionally. Let's report it to the authorities and investigate it slowly."
Shen Xuanheng's eyes turned darkly when he heard that. He turned his head away and snorted coldly, "Why are you still speaking for him? I'm angry."
Su Xuqing, who had been fooled several times, had seen through his tricks. She twisted her body and said with a slightly cold face, "You have changed. You get angry easily now. Don't you like me anymore?"
Shen Xuanheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. It was really a match made in heaven!
"I like you, of course I don't like you, I like you the most."
Shen Xuanheng skillfully held her cheeks and kissed her pink cherry lips affectionately. After a few passionate kisses, Su Xuqing felt her whole body go limp and collapsed in his arms with watery eyes.
Su Xuqing's heart was trembling, and she covered her cheeks, feeling a little stupid.
No matter how much you mess with him, you'll still lose in the end.
Women, when they meet someone they like, always like to suffer losses.
Ministry of Punishment.
The runners from the Ministry of Justice hurried into the study.
"Sir Shangshu, someone from the Zhennan Palace just delivered a message saying that not long ago the wife of the Ninth Prince of Zhennan was assassinated by the Blood Robe Tower and nearly lost her life. The Ninth Prince was furious and cleared out the Blood Robe Tower. Now the owner of the tower, Xue Tao, has fled for fear of being convicted. I hope the Ministry of Justice can help arrest this man."
Xu Younian's face changed when he heard this, "What did you say?"
He stood up hurriedly and asked repeatedly, "Did the Zhennan Palace find the Bloody Clothes Tower?"
The bailiff nodded and said, "Yes, sir. The Zhennan Palace found a martial arts expert from somewhere and killed all the assassins scattered outside the Blood Clothes Building. Only the owner of the building, Xue Tao, could not be found."
Xu Younian's face tightened, and he immediately ordered: "Tell all the officials in the Ministry of Justice to put aside their current tasks and find the owner of the Bloody Clothes Tower as quickly as possible. If they find him, kill him on the spot."
The guard was stunned for a moment, then said, "Aren't you going to leave someone alive for the Zhennan Palace?"
Xu Younian suppressed his anger and patted the yamen runner on the shoulder. "The Bloody Clothes Building is hidden in the capital, but I have been unable to find its headquarters. Now that the Crown Prince's wife has been assassinated, am I negligent in my duties? If I don't kill her, where will I put my face? Moreover, the Zhennan Palace only said that they found this person, but they didn't say whether he was dead or alive."
"I understand. I'll do it right away!"
Seeing that Xu Younian looked unhappy, the yamen runner did not dare to say anything more and quickly agreed.
After the bailiff left, Xu Younian paced anxiously. No wonder there had been no news from the Blood Robe Tower for so many days. It turned out that the assassination had failed.
What a bunch of losers. It would have been fine if they had failed, but no one has actually found out what happened.
Fortunately, Xue Tao ran away, otherwise if this person fell into the hands of the Prince of Zhennan, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Xu Younian was restless and just wanted to kill Xue Tao immediately to avoid permanent trouble.
At the same time, at the south gate of the capital.
After Xue Tao left the Bloody Clothes Building, he climbed over the wall into the house and found an old lady's dress. He then wrapped his head with a red cloth, and his body became hunched, like a man in his seventies.
She first left marks of the Blood Robe Tower in every corner of the capital, trying to summon her men, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to look for her.
Xue Tao felt that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to find the home of a confidant, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the person had been killed by someone else.
She then found several more people, and without exception, they were all killed.
At this moment, Xue Tao broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder Liang Heng let her go so easily. It turned out that all her men had been killed by him a long time ago.
Xue Tao was so angry that she started cursing, what a bullshit chivalrous and kind-hearted person, he was clearly just an executioner.
Xue Tao, the dignified owner of the Blood-Clothed Tower, became a lone man. He felt uneasy and just wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible.
But when she arrived at the gate of the capital, she found that the bulletin board was covered with her portrait. People from the Ministry of Justice were conducting strict inspections at the door and asked everyone to wash their faces with clean water to prevent anyone from disguising themselves.
Xue Taonao was terrified and ran into the alley, covering his face.
"How could this happen? Liang Heng already knows that the Minister of Justice is the mastermind behind this. If he leaks this information out, shouldn't that old bastard Xu Younian be extremely busy..."
Xue Tao's face turned pale as he muttered this.
Yes, she is now the only one who can point out Xu Younian. Xu Younian must be anxious to find her and kill her to silence her.
Xue Tao's mind was a mess and she was furious.
Is Liang Heng sick? What on earth does he want to do?
Wouldn't it be enough if you just sent me to the Zhennan Palace to criticize Xu Younian? It's death anyway. Is it necessary to torture me like this?
"None of these bastards are good!"
