At this time, Yingge and Wu Ji were rushing towards the Xiao Mansion.
But halfway through the journey, Wu Ji suddenly said to Ying Ge: "Let's go to a place first."
When Brother Ying heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
She knew how important this matter was to her master. At this time, if she didn't rush to that damn Xiao Mansion to look for evidence, what else could she do instead?
Seeing her reaction, Wu Ji tried to comfort her, "Don't worry, Xiao Jian is the Minister of Rites, a high-ranking official, and your sister is still Empress Xian in the palace."
"If we go like this, even if we find evidence, without a witness, there is no guarantee. If we fail to protect it, we will implicate the princess and the prince."
"The government office of the Five Cities Division is just ahead. I am familiar with their generals. Let's take a detour and ask them to go with us. If there is anything in the Xiao Mansion, we can ask them to help us take it down."
Wu Ji is still careful.
The temperament he developed outside has made him much calmer and more experienced.
Although Ying Ge didn't understand these complicated thoughts, she looked at Wu Ji and didn't refute. She just said, "Lead the way."
Afterwards, the two of them went to Wuchengsi first.
The general on duty today at the Five City Division was named Xia Feng. He used to be under Gu Mingheng and was very familiar with Wu Ji.
If it were someone else, it would be against the rules for them to investigate the residence of a first-rank minister without any imperial order.
But the master behind Wu Ji is King Chang'an, and Xia Feng has a very good relationship with him.
Without thinking too much, I agreed.
Before leaving, Xia Feng took a dozen of his trusted confidants with him.
Wu Ji went out with him.
On the way, he said to Xia Feng: "Thank you for today, brother. I'll treat you to a drink next time."
"When we get to the Xiao Mansion, I will go in and investigate first. If there is indeed something fishy going on, I will then trouble the brothers from the Five City Division. If not, you don't have to show up to avoid offending the Xiao family for nothing."
This can be considered as a way out for them in advance.
Xia Feng felt warm in his heart.
He was indeed a little worried just now.
If there really was something wrong with the Xiao family, they would have investigated it, but they were afraid that if there was nothing wrong with them, they would have offended them for no reason.
Fortunately, Wu Ji said this.
"You are still reliable in doing things." Xia Feng patted Wu Ji's shoulder and said.
Wu Ji smiled.
When the two of them went out, Xia Feng saw a horse in front of the door. There was a woman sitting on it. When she saw them coming out, she looked impatient and said coldly, "Hurry up."
"Who is this--"
He thought that this person was also a subordinate of King Chang'an, so he was naturally surprised.
I've never heard that the prince has any women under his command before.
Wu Ji did not introduce Ying Ge's identity at this time, but only said to Xia Feng: "The one who is traveling with me, I will go with her first, and you will follow behind."
Xia Feng also knew that this matter was urgent, so he no longer thought about anything else and nodded to Wu Ji.
Afterwards, Wu Ji and Ying Ge went ahead, and Xia Feng and others followed closely.
At this time, the Xiao family was already in a mess.
The servant has brought back the news from the Marquis' Mansion.
The words were said for Xiao Fu to hear.
After hearing this, Xiao Fu almost fell down.
Now, apart from Xiao Jian, Xiao Fu is the only one in the mansion who knows about it.
The rest of the people are still unaware.
Seeing that Xiao Fu looked unhappy, the servant was still very concerned and asked him if he was okay.
Xiao Fu felt as if the sky above his head was about to collapse.
He hurriedly brought the news back to Xiao Jian.
After listening to this, Xiao Jian lost his usual calm and sophisticated demeanor. He sat in the chair with a look of grief.
"Master, what should we do?" Xiao Fu asked in a low voice.
But how could Xiao Jian know what to do at this time? He never thought that the assassin he sent out would kill his own niece!
Even if he disliked his niece and thought she was troublesome, she was still his niece, his own niece!
Like Yue Qing, she also has the blood of their Xiao family flowing in her veins!
The most important thing is that she is the princess of their Daqian and the daughter that his sister loves the most!
be terribly upset.
Xiao Jian really didn't know what to do for a moment.
There was only one thought in my mind.
"This matter must not be known to anyone."
If people knew that he killed his own niece, he would surely be furious.
As for Youyan, she will definitely break up with him!
Xiao Fu was already at a loss at this time, so naturally he did whatever Xiao Jian said.
Until Xiao Jian's voice came to my ears: "Changqing and the others can't stay any longer."
"master!"
Xiao Fu screamed.
Xiao Jian looked at him coldly: "Even if they won't be found out, do you want me to watch them kill my niece and then appear in front of me alive and kicking?"
"If they had been more careful when doing things, the situation wouldn't have turned into what it is now!" Xiao Jian said this with a look of pain on his face.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Fu dared not persuade him anymore.
His face turned pale, he lowered his head and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Jian gave another hoarse command: "Their families are not guilty. Let them go on their way. Give them some extra money to take care of them. If they ask, just say that something happened when they were doing their work, and bury them properly afterwards."
After hearing this, Xiao Fu finally felt relieved.
He agreed again.
"The shopkeeper and waiter of Chengji Shop have seen Ancheng and can't stay any longer."
"And that girl from the Ming family..." When Xiao Jian mentioned Ming Yao, his face was already frosty.
If it weren’t for that girl from the Ming family, how could today’s events have turned out like this?
It was she who tricked An Cheng out of the palace, and it was she who made An Cheng her scapegoat! If he didn't cut this kind of woman into pieces, it would be hard to relieve his hatred!
"Wait until she is on her way to the appointment tomorrow and get rid of her secretly."
"Hurry up, we can't let her notice that An Cheng is missing first, otherwise she will get suspicious!"
At this time, he didn't know about Mingyao and Gu Jiarou's cooperation, nor did he know that Mingyao already knew that Gu Jiarou was missing. He thought that Mingyao would definitely keep the appointment tomorrow.
However, it would be inconvenient to send someone directly to the Marquis' Mansion.
I'm afraid he will send someone to kill Ming Yao directly tonight to vent his hatred!
At this time, Xiao Fu also had a deep hatred towards Ming Yao.
Naturally I won't refute it.
He immediately nodded his head.
Xiao Jian's fatigue from the past few days was even worse at this moment. He waved his hand and asked people to leave: "Go down."
Xiao Fu knew that he was asked to deal with Chang Qing and the others first. Although he felt reluctant, he had no choice but to follow orders.
He bowed and left.
He went outside and asked someone to prepare poisoned wine, intending to give Changqing and the others a decent punishment.
When Yingge and Wu Ji secretly sneaked into the Xiao Mansion, they saw Changqing and others being forced to drink poisoned wine.
Changqing and the others feel wronged and wronged.
I was ordered to go out and do something, but I didn't expect it to end up like this.
"Butler Xiao, we have no intention of being disloyal to the master. We really didn't expect what happened today. Please help us beg the master. We really don't want to die."
"Butler Xiao, my child has just been born and can't even call me dad yet! Please have mercy on us!"
……
Yingge and Wu Ji looked at each other.
found it!
The people in the room didn't know there were people outside. Several seven-foot-tall men knelt in front of Xiao Fu, crying.
Xiao Fu couldn't bear it either.
But the one who died was not someone else, but Princess An Cheng. If the secret were to be leaked, it would be the end of us!
Only the dead can keep secrets forever.
"I have already pleaded with the master on your behalf, but Princess Ancheng is the master's niece and the only princess of Daqian. She died because of you. What do you want the master to do?"
"The master has mercy on you and said that your family members will not be implicated in the crime. If you die now, you will be known as a hero and your family members will be well taken care of."
"But if you delay any longer, your family..."
When the killers heard this, they became hesitant.
Family is always their weak spot.
They knew they couldn't escape today, and looking at the poisoned wine in front of them, they still reached out their trembling hands and picked up the wine glass.
But just when they were about to raise their heads to drink the poisoned wine, the door suddenly opened.
At the same time, a flare sounded outside.
Fireworks exploded in the night sky.
Xia Feng and others who were waiting outside saw the signal and immediately rushed to the door of Xiao's house and knocked on it, asking them to open it.
And inside the Xiao Mansion.
Brother Ying rushed in from outside.
She placed the scimitar in her hand directly on Xiao Fu's neck, and said to the group of assassins who had already been stunned: "If you don't want to die with your family, put down the cup."
"Who are you?"
Xiao Fu had a machete held against his neck. He could feel the knife pressed against his flesh. He was trembling with fear. He glanced at the woman beside him, but he could not recognize who she was.
At this moment, a laughing male voice came from behind.
"Butler Xiao, long time no see."
Xiao Fu listened to the voice and turned his head slowly. When he saw Wu Ji coming in with a smile, his eyes widened in horror.
His knees went weak and he almost fell down. Why were the people of the King of Chang'an here? !
It's over!
