Female Master: The Cold Prince

Dongcheng prefect

When they arrived at the mansion, Xiahou Jiuyue told them the news of Ye Lin's death, and then carefully observed the two people's reactions and attitudes.

“What! Ye Lin is dead?!” Li Luolan was shocked, her eyes full of disbelief.

Jiang Huaiying was also very surprised, and his shocked expression was no less than Ye Yi's reaction when he learned the news.

When Xiahou Jiuyue saw this, she realized that the expressions of both of them did not seem like they were acting. Could it be that she had made a wrong judgment?

"Governor, so it seems that Ye Lin was killed because her identity was exposed. But how could her identity be exposed suddenly?" Jiang Huaiying asked with a puzzled look.

They just found out Ye Lin's identity as a secret agent yesterday, and today, she died. How could it be such a coincidence?

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue looked up at her. Jiang Huaiying's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. Could it be that the governor suspected her?

"Governor, I only learned of Ye Lin's identity yesterday, and she died today. I am also shocked. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?" She defended herself in shock.

Seeing that she looked flustered, Xiahou Jiuyue was anxious to clear herself of suspicion. In contrast, Li Luolan next to her was relatively calm.

At this time, Li Luolan pondered and said, "Yesterday, Ye Lin returned to Juesha Hall. The hall assigned her a task, but she left immediately after she was picked up. Did she fail the task?"

She did not rush to clear herself of the issue in these words, but instead talked about the reasons that led to Ye Lin's accident.

"You mean, Ye Lin went out last night because he received a mission from the hall?" Jiang Huaiying asked excitedly, as if he had seized the opportunity to clear his suspicion.

If that was the case, Ye Lin’s death had nothing to do with her anyway.

"Yes, I saw her not coming back all night yesterday, and I thought she had not completed her mission. Who would have thought..." After saying this, Li Luolan showed a rare look of regret on her face.

Xiahou Jiuyue saw the two of them talking back and forth, and easily said that Ye Lin's death was an accident, but she did not refute them.

Besides, all this was just her guess. How could she bring someone to justice without any evidence? Thinking of the mysterious hall master, she decided to wait before taking action.

After returning to the mansion, Xiahou Jiuyue immediately asked someone to present all the information about the prefect. Looking at the information in his hand, he slowly fell into deep thought.

At this time, Ye Shi, who had been lurking outside the Juesha Hall, came to report in a hurry, "Master, I just sneaked into the Juesha Hall and accidentally learned a piece of news. I heard from the people in the hall that the hall master Jiang Huanyu's younger sister is coming. When the time comes, everyone in the hall will welcome her."

Sister? Xiahou Jiuyue paused. If she started with this person, would she be able to uncover the identity of this mysterious hall master?

It is basically certain at present that Jiang Huanyu is Xiahou Yan's man, but if Xiahou Yan wants to admit what she did, Jiang Huanyu must be found out.

"Is the news true?" she asked repeatedly.

"It's true, and I also learned that this is the first time that Jiang Huanyu's sister has come to Juesha Hall, and no one in the hall has seen this person except Jiang Huanyu himself." Ye Shishi confirmed.

In order to verify whether the news was true, she even ventured into the elders' study and eavesdropped on their discussion of the matter.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes suddenly flashed, and she thought of something, and said: "Well, you take a few people with you..."

outside the city.

Deep in the dangerous jungle, there is a very inconspicuous path hidden. There are dense jungles on both sides of the road. Ye Shi is currently ambushing here with a dozen people.

This is the road leading to the Juesha Hall. Everyone was crawling on the wet ground, while Ye Shi flew up alone and stood on a tree with many branches and leaves to keep watch.

Near noon, the warm and dazzling sunlight shines on the earth, making the biting cold wind become much milder.

At this moment, a few people suddenly appeared in the distance carrying a luxurious sedan chair and walking slowly towards them, followed by a group of servants, about twenty people in total.

The sedan seemed a little bumpy. Perhaps it was because the person inside was too heavy, or because the mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel on, but the four women carrying the sedan looked very tired and their steps were untidy.

Ye Shi raised his hand and imitated a bird's call to his mouth, conveying the message to everyone on the ground and getting ready to work.

When everyone received the message, they rolled up their sleeves and held the daggers at their waists with one hand, waiting for the order to rush forward.

Just as everyone was about to take action, they suddenly heard a scream of fear and panic coming from the bottom of the mountain. Ye Shi, who was on the tree, looked at the group of people and his pupils shrank.

In front of the sedan chair, there stood a group of killers dressed as bandits. They did not say a word and just killed anyone they saw. They were decisive and deadly with every move. In less than a moment, all the people were killed.

Ye Shi was shocked by this sudden scene, and by the time she reacted, it was too late.

Looking at the group of killers who suddenly appeared, after killing all the servants and maids, they left, leaving only the people in the sedan chair.

With his many years of experience as a killer, Ye Shi felt a little strange. Why did this group of killers only kill the servants and spare the people in the sedan? Logically speaking, shouldn't the people in the sedan be the number one target?

After the group of killers had completely left, Ye Shi led everyone to rush forward to check and found that all the dozen servants had been killed, leaving no one alive. Judging from the wounds on their bodies, they were all stabbed in the vitals and died instantly.

Looking at these professional killing methods, Ye Shiyi's heart sank to the bottom. Who are they and why do they dress up as bandits and kill this group of people?

Suddenly remembering that there was still a survivor in the sedan, she hurried forward to lift the curtain, but the scene she saw shocked her.

The person in the car was dressed in silk and satin, lying on her side. Her face was black and blue, she was spitting out blood, her chest was stained with her blood, her eyes kept rolling up, and she looked like she was going to die at any time.

Ye Shi felt her retina was greatly shocked. She forced herself to suppress the shock in her heart, jumped onto the carriage, then took out the dagger from her waist, and dealt a fatal blow to the man.

She couldn't understand why this man suddenly became like this when the group of killers clearly didn't approach the sedan chair.

Today's plan was to kill this man. Although I don't know why we were intercepted first, at least the mission was accomplished.

We simply cleaned up the accident scene and then proceeded as planned.

Ye Shi looked at his companion who had changed his appearance, and said with a serious expression: "Remember, everything should be done according to the plan. Keep in touch at any time."

"Yes." Ye Juan said calmly.

After she finished explaining, Ye Juan ruffled her hair and tore off a few pieces of cloth from her clothes, making herself look disheveled.

Everything was ready, but suddenly her eyes became panicked, she yelled madly, and crawled towards the Juesha Hall.
