The assassin leader's words silenced the entire scene.

Shu Qingwan noticed that Lian Yi was also caught in a tangled memory, she looked at Wang Momo and said, "You said just now that you were the one who took care of Miss Lian Yi, right?"

"So what do you have to say about this matter?"

"It's not her fault!" Nanny Wang answered the question, and her tone became more justified, "Others entrusted her with an errand, and she didn't take care of Miss Hao. It was her fault in the first place. There is nothing to complain about!"

"Besides, she wasn't the only one who was punished. The rest of us were also punished. We also felt wronged. Who should we turn to?"

Shu Qingwan didn't say right or wrong, just went back to Lian Yi and sat down, looked at the masked leader: "Tell me about your investigation results."

The masked leader nodded his head and replied: "It is said that this is the Wang Pozi who is used to being lazy and slippery because she is the nurse of the young lady. She only cares about chatting with others by the ice spring, and entrusts the care to Yao Yao, who is in charge of the food. "

"Nurse Yao couldn't take care of it, so she rejected Mrs. Wang. During the dispute between the two, the maid who took care of her couldn't take care of her, so Miss Ruan fell into the water."

"Later when the Ruan family investigated this matter, Mrs. Wang put all the responsibility on Nanny Yao, and then she was afraid that Nanny Yao would report on her, so she gave Yao Nanny a drug for dumbness, and then ignorantly asked Madam Ruan to give it to Yao Nanny. Mommy's 50 taels of silver."

Hearing the masked leader's explanation, the assassin's leader's eyes were tearing open, and he clutched the sand on the ground: "It's so!"

Seeing the terrifying eyes of the leader of the assassins, Wang Momo frantically denied: "No! That's not the case. The old woman never did such a thing, she didn't do it! This is what she deserves, and she doesn't care about my business!"

Seeing that no one believed her, Wang Momo was about to pounce on Lianyi again, but was grabbed by the masked leader, but she was still sophistrying: "Young master! Young master! This old slave has served you and miss, you know this old slave best. The old slave didn't do it on purpose, save the old slave!"

"She deserves what she deserves, she really doesn't care about my business..."

Unexpectedly, because of such a person, Ruan Linyi, who has always been gentle and kind, indirectly lost his life, and Lian Yi felt so angry and helpless.

But remembering that everything was caused by her naughty childhood, she didn't know who to blame.

Even though she knew that the assassination would be unavoidable even if the incident with Nanny Yao hadn't happened, Pei Yanfeng would still send someone to kill her and Ruan Linyi, but she still felt as if there was a stone pressing down on her heart, making it hard to breathe.

She stood up, ignored Wang Momo's cry for help, opened the door and stepped out.

She just wanted to get out of the oppressive and uncomfortable atmosphere and go outside to get some fresh air.

Seeing that Nanny Wang's voice made Lianyi uncomfortable, and fearing that the voice would disturb the villagers not far away, the masked leader pulled a strip of cloth to strangle Wang Nanny's mouth horizontally, and then tied a knot behind her head so that She could only make a "woo-woo" sound.

Shu Qingwan signaled two of his subordinates to go out to protect Lianyi, while he threw a dagger in front of the assassin leader: "How about I make a deal with you?"

"Originally, you didn't want to reveal anything, and I didn't have to investigate so many things for you, so I killed you directly."

"But I once promised a person that I would repay his kindness when I have the opportunity in the future. Therefore, for his sake, I will investigate the truth of these things for you. Now I will give you a chance. If you can Get rid of this villain within a quarter of an hour, and her life will be yours."

"I can also tell you the ins and outs of your sister Yunyan's death, and then return her body to you, as long as you answer a few questions for me."

The leader of the assassins stared fiercely at Wang Momo for a moment, and was finally attracted by Shu Qingwan's conditions: "What's the problem?"

"Since you don't want to identify Pei Yanfeng, we won't force you." Shu Qingwan stood up and said, "You just need to tell me what you know. If you are willing to tell the whole story, I might even help you tell Mr. Ruan Ask for some other favor."

The assassin leader hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the dagger on the ground, pulled it out with a "shua", and thrust it into the sand: "Deal!"

After receiving the answer from the leader of the assassins, Shu Qingwan left a room full of subordinates to watch the two kill each other, while he went out to find Lian Yi, and closed the courtyard door by the way, so as not to let Lian Yi listen and make him even more disturbed.

Shu Qingwan was always paying attention to the sound of Lian Yi's footsteps, and knew that she hadn't walked very far.

Sure enough, she didn't take a few steps outside, when she saw Lian Yi standing under a tree not far away, looking up at the stars in the sky lonely.

When the two subordinates and the guards hiding in the dark saw Shu Qingwan approaching, they all moved away wisely, leaving the entire space for the two of them.

"Lian'er." Shu Qingwan approached, "What are you thinking?"

Hearing Shu Qingwan's voice, Lian Yi put away the bad emotions on his face, put on a relaxed smile, and turned around: "It's nothing, I just think the weather is good, I can see the stars when I come out."

Seeing Lian Yi's forced smile, Shu Qingwan took Lian Yi's hand and said, "Lian'er, you don't need to keep your words in your heart in front of me."

Lian Yi's smile froze for a moment, then gradually faded away, her voice was not as relaxed as before: "Wanwan, hug me, my heart..."

"I know." Shu Qingwan said, reaching out to pull Lianyi into his arms, "Lian'er, it's not your fault, and you've already avenged Brother Lin."

Lian Yi buried her face in Shu Qingwan's neck, and gently sniffed the sweet mulan fragrance on Shu Qingwan's body, her voice was a little dull: "Wanwan, I know it in my heart, but I just feel sorry for brother. "

"He is such a good person, he treats me so well, but because of me..."

Shu Qingwan patted Lianyi's back lightly, and said softly: "Those were all accidents, not your fault."

"Brother Lin will be very pleased if he knows that you have personally avenged him."

Lian Yi didn't say a word, but buried his head on Shu Qingwan's body again, and tightly hugged Shu Qingwan's hand, before saying "Thank you, Wanwan" after a long time.

There are four light bulbs watching from a distance, and Lian Yi is too embarrassed to be tired of Shu Qingwan for too long, and the wound on Shu Qingwan's body is not healed yet, so she dare not hold her for a long time, inhaling the smell of Shu Qingwan's body After that, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.

After Lian Yi's mood calmed down, Shu Qingwan was talking to her about the things she had investigated during this period, when a subordinate suddenly ran over from the direction of the courtyard door and reported that the matter in the courtyard had been resolved.

When the three of them returned to the yard, they saw the leader of the assassins laying on Wang Momo's body panting deeply, and Wang Momo's body had already been pierced with several holes, and blood was gurgling out.

Grandma Wang didn't know if she was dead or not, but her eyes were staring in horror, with bright red blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, she looked very frightening.

The leader of the assassins saw Shu Qingwan and Lianyi coming in, so he climbed off Wang Momo's body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gave Wang Momo a disgusted "pooh".

It was only then that Lian Yi noticed that there was still a puddle of blood beside Nanny Wang, and there was actually half of an ear in the blood.

Combined with the fresh blood from the mouth of the assassin leader, Lian Yi realized that the assassin leader actually bit off Nanny Wang's ear.

Shu Qingwan was afraid that Lianyi would be uncomfortable looking at him, so he blocked Lianyi's gaze, and ordered: "Take this villain out, find a mass grave and throw it away, and throw it away."

The two subordinates answered "Yes", took out some kind of bag, quickly packed Wang Momo, and carried it out.

Until Wang Momo disappeared, the assassin leader was still staring at the direction of the door, with an expression on his face, as if he wished he could peel off his flesh and drink his flesh and blood.

It wasn't until Shu Qingwan's subordinates closed the door that the assassin leader came back to his senses, propped himself up and sat up: "So you are Ruan Lianyi."

Anyway, Pei Yanfeng already knew, and they had nothing to hide, Lianyi replied truthfully: "Yes, I am Ruan Lianyi."

"Where's Ruan Linyi?" the assassin leader asked.

Lian Yi honestly said: "When you came to assassinate him for the first time, you already killed him."

The leader of the assassins narrowed his eyes, and took a deep breath: "What questions do you want to ask me, just ask, if you want me to identify Mr. Pei, I'm sorry I can't do it."

"It's nothing, just say what you know." Shu Qingwan spoke first, "What is Pei Yanfeng's next plan, do you know?"

The assassin leader shook his head: "I don't know, but this assassination was not only ordered by Mr. Li, but also Mr. Pei, but later Mr. Pei informed us not to act for some reason, but after two days On the [-]st, Mr. Li informed again that he would take action."

The words of the assassin leader sent two messages to Shu Qingwan and Lian Yi.

First, the leader of the assassins did not know Pei Yanfeng's plan, which showed that he was not Pei Yanfeng's confidant.

Second, Li Shaoheng did have a conflict with Pei Yanfeng.

If they guessed correctly, the reason why Pei Yanfeng stopped the assassination was because he suddenly learned about Lian Yi's secret and reached an agreement with Shu Qingwan.

From this point of view, the second notification might have been Li Shaoheng's own idea, which is why the Jia family repented temporarily. When Shu Qingwan went to kill Pei Yanfeng, Pei Yanfeng said that he was innocent.

It seems that they can try to start with Li Shaoheng to see if there is any clue that can defeat Pei Yanfeng.

Knowing that this person is not Pei Yanfeng's confidant, Lian Yi still tried to ask: "Then do you know if Pei Yanfeng is cooperating with other people behind his back, except Li Shaoheng."

"I don't seem to have it. I don't know much. I was lent to Mr. Li by Mr. Pei seven years ago." The leader of the assassins said while shaking his head as expected, but after a pause, he said, "No, There are three words.

Lian Yi was surprised: "There is someone behind him? Who is it?"

"I don't know." The assassin leader said, "Mr. Li asked me to discuss the assassination that day. Besides Mr. Pei, there was another Mr. playing the piano behind the screen, but I don't know who it is."

"Fuqin?" Lian Yi followed up with two words, and immediately exchanged glances with Shu Qingwan, neither of them guessed who the leader of the assassins was talking about.

Because in this background era, there are not many young ladies from aristocratic families who can play the piano.

The skill of playing the piano is a cultural lesson that children of aristocratic families must learn since childhood, so whether it is the dead Ruan Linyi, the blackened Pei Yanfeng, or Shu Qingwan who is sitting with Lianyi now, they will more or less know how to play the piano. Fuqin.

Of course, except for "ignorant" people.

For example, Lian Yi, who doesn't like to be confined to the backyard, and Shu Qingyan and Li Shaoheng, who only care about pleasure.

But relatively speaking, most of the children of the aristocratic families know this skill, so the candidates for playing the piano are too broad, and it is simply an untargeted clue.

Lian Yi asked: "Then what are his characteristics? How do you know he is a man?"

The leader of the assassins said: "The man once said that this matter needs to be resolved quickly for fear of future troubles. I heard a few words from a man's voice."

"As for his characteristics, I can't tell. At a rough glance, he is no different from Mr. Pei's clothes."

Dresses similar to Pei Yanfeng's can be found everywhere in the family. This condition is the same as the previous "playing the piano", which is of no use at all, and there is still no special person to be selected.

But this person can play the piano and is dressed in dignified clothes. Could it be that there is someone in the aristocratic family that they didn't notice before, and that person is the hidden BOSS?

Lian Yi really couldn't figure it out, so he thought of another question based on this introduction: "Since they are so eager to kill me, and they are sure that you can kill me, why are you alone the last two times?"

The leader of the assassins said: "Because those two are the killers of the Black Snake Gang, and the three people's goals are too big, we found out at that time that many forces are investigating this matter."

The multi-party forces mentioned by the leader of the assassins should be Shu Qingwan and the Ruan family. At that time, Shu Qingwan found out that these assassins had contact with the Black Snake Gang. It turned out that two of them were indeed the killers of the Black Snake Gang. .

It's just that Shu Qingwan's in-depth investigation made Pei Yanfeng alert and hid the two people. No wonder Shu Qingwan's investigation hit a bottleneck later.

But at present, these two people are both dead, one was killed by Lianyi, and the other also died by the hand of Shucheng by the river in Yuanxi Town.

Lian Yi then asked the question that she and Shu Qingwan had been puzzled all along: "Okay, then since you came to assassinate twice, why didn't you show up again?"

"The last time I was here, I remember that Miss Shu and I didn't seriously hurt you, you only suffered some superficial injuries, right?"

The assassin leader hesitated for a moment and said: "Because we are afraid that Miss Shu will find out about the assassination."

"Although Miss Shu and I met in Songshan Bieyuan, I had never seen Miss Shu's face before, so last time I only felt that Miss Shu was very familiar, but I didn't know where I met her, so after returning, I Then tell Mr. Pei about it."

"Mr. Pei handed me Miss Shu's portrait, and I remembered that she is Miss Shu."

"But in fact..." The assassin leader hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly, "Actually, I have already seen Miss Shu's portrait when I was in Songshan Bieyuan."

"At that time, I was discussing matters with Mr. Pei. Miss Shu came in suddenly. I couldn't dodge in time, so I could only meet him calmly. Fortunately, it was dark around me, and Miss Shu didn't seem to see my face clearly."

"However, Mr. Pei knew that Miss Shu and Mr. Ruan had some connections, and he was still afraid that if I met Miss Shu in the future, the incident of the assassination would be exposed, so he showed me Miss Shu's portrait early in the morning, and asked me to hide from Mr. Shu in the future. Miss."

"But in the portrait at that time, Ms. Shu was in women's clothing, so I didn't recognize it right away."

"In short, Mr. Pei knew that I met Miss Shu, and that Miss Shu was still with Mr. Ruan, so he guessed that the person who had been investigating the assassination of the Ruan family in those years might be Miss Shu."

"In order to avoid being discovered, Mr. Pei told me to pretend to be injured so that I don't need to carry out the assassination."

It turned out to be so!

It was because of being bumped into by Shu Qingwan that the assassin did not participate in the subsequent assassination.

Therefore, in order to avoid Shu Qingwan's suspicion and confuse Shu Qingwan's sight, Li Shaoheng and Pei Yanfeng directly cast their eyes on another onlooker - Shu Qingyan.

Following these lines of thought, Lian Yi successfully deduced another incident, and verified it: "So, the time I chased you out of the city to Yuyangzhuang, you didn't actually take me around aimlessly, yes Bar?"

"At the beginning, you were afraid that I would find out that you went to Li's mansion to get the evidence that Li Shaoheng assassinated me, but then you deliberately took me to Shu's house, and wanted to plant the matter on Shu Qingyan's head."

"Your purpose is... to get Miss Lashu into the game!"

At this point, Lian Yi was like waking up from a dream: "If I said that I chased you out at that time, no matter if I died here or was injured here, when the clues are traced, the Shu family will naturally become the scapegoat. "

"If Ms. Shu doesn't want the Shu family to collapse and Shu Qingyan to go to jail, then she will join forces with you, or turn against me, right?"

Pei Yanfeng's move killed three birds with one stone!

The assassin deliberately lured her out. After Yu Yangzhuang seriously injured her, he could not only get Shu Qingwan's weakness, but also drive a wedge between her and Shu Qingwan. Pei Yanfeng moved closer, and even became Pei Yanfeng's person in the future.

This trick was really terrible, both she and Shu Qingwan were drawn into it, and almost fell for it.

The next answer of the assassin leader verified Lian Yi's conjecture: "Yes, Mr. Pei said, if you follow me out one time, I will bring you to the Shu family's other courtyard to deal with it."

"At first, I thought it was a perfect strategy, but Miss Shu happened to be in the other courtyard that day, and joined hands with you."

"One is because I can't beat you, and the other is because I am afraid that Miss Shu will recognize me if I fight too much, so I have no choice but to get out quickly."

Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan fell silent with the assassin leader's explanation.

They never thought that Pei Yanfeng would plan to such an extent, such a chain is intertwined, as long as either of the two of them misses a step, now they have already lost everything.

With these antecedents, the next thing will be a matter of course.

Because Shu Qingwan disrupted Pei Yanfeng's framing plan that time, the leader of the assassins had no choice but to retire. In order to divert Shu Qingwan's attention, they simply resorted to tricks and directly dragged Shu Qingyan into the game.

Li Shaoheng persuaded Shu Qingyan, a good-for-nothing, with his benefits, and then allocated three people to Shu Qingyan in the same way, just like Pei Yanfeng used Li Shaoheng to let Shu Qingyan be the leader.

In this way, there was the assassination of the next three assassins with slightly lower martial arts.

These things made Lian Yi's heart unable to calm down for a long time, and the air was silent for a moment. Shu Qingwan was the first to think of the next question: "What is the relationship between your sister Yun Yan and Li Shaoheng?"

Shu Qingwan told the truth about Yunyan being used by Pei Yanfeng, and Yunyan using Zhong Qiqi to frame her and Lianyi several times, and also told about Yunyan's final suicide by suicide, and then asked: "Is Yunyan really young master Li? Heng's detailed work or Pei Yanfeng's detailed work?"

"Why did Pei Yanfeng send her directly to Zhong's residence? Why is Li Shaoheng involved behind the scenes when she helps Pei Yanfeng with things?"

Speaking of Yunyan, the assassin leader's expression finally fluctuated.

After a moment of silence, he sighed deeply and said: "When my mother passed away, my sister was only six years old. We were blocked by the lady Wang and had nowhere to sue. Fortunately, my father took me in. Later, I followed my father to work in Pei's iron shop. It's slow. Settle down slowly."

"At that time, Mr. Pei often came to the iron shop, and occasionally we would learn martial arts with our father. My sister gradually fell in love with Mr. Pei, and then she followed Mr. Pei secretly before she was too young."

"After Mr. Pei's arrangement, I went to work in Li's Mansion. When I saw her again, she went to Zhong's Mansion. I think Mr. Pei arranged for her to do these things at that time."

"As for how she went to Li's Mansion, how to get to Zhong's Mansion, she didn't mention it."

"At the beginning, I told her not to get involved in these matters. She insisted on leaving with Mr. Pei. Now, I don't know who to blame."

The assassin leader's words made Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan admire Pei Yanfeng's scheming even more. They had never understood before that if Pei Yanfeng was the person behind the scenes, how dare he blatantly give Yunyan to Zhong Qiqi.

Only now did I know that he actually placed his servant girl in Li's residence, passed from Li's residence to his, and then sent her to Zhong's residence as a spy in his own name.

In this way, even if it is found out, others will think that this person was sent to the Zhongfu by Li Shaoheng through his hands. After all, no one would have thought that someone would send a spy into the Zhongfu so openly.

He used a cover-up in this way, so that others would not suspect him.

Thinking of this, Lian Yi suddenly remembered the time when Shu Qingwan took traditional Chinese medicine.

No wonder when they saw that she hadn't been fooled, when they were in a hurry, Li Shaoheng was the first person they thought of, and there was a high probability that Yunyan was behind it.

In this way, Yunyan can be farther away from Pei Yanfeng. If her identity is exposed in the future and others look up, and with her reporting to Li Shaoheng, others will believe that she is Li Shaoheng's person.

But Yunyan's frequent encounters with Zhong Qiqi's Tricky Lianyi and Shu Qingwan made it easier to understand.

In addition to wanting revenge, Yunyan also has a crush on Pei Yanfeng just like Zhong Qiqi, which is why she sees Shu Qingwan as a thorn in her side again and again, tying her together with Lianyi to hype her repeatedly.

After finally sorting out the general matter, Lian Yi suddenly felt very mixed feelings.

Calculating carefully, the two brothers and sisters can be regarded as relatively miserable characters, because of the first unjust case, they were used to such an extent that they could never be restored.

After careful consideration, she decided to let the leader of the assassins go, as Shu Qingwan expected: "You go, since our Ruan family owes your mother a life, and I have avenged my brother, I will let you live .”

"I think if my brother is alive in heaven, he would also be willing to use your life to repay the life that your mother accidentally lost because of the Ruan family."

The assassin leader didn't expect that Lian Yi would actually let him go, he was a little surprised: "You really let me go?"

Lian Yi poured out a cup of tea that had already turned cold, and took a sip: "What's the problem if I let you go, it's your ability to wait until you can really get out of Fuyan City alive."

"Don't forget, Pei Yanfeng is still waiting behind. If he knows that you have leaked these things about him, do you think he will let you continue to live?"

Lian Yi's two paragraphs washed away the astonishment of the leader of the assassins. He was silent for a moment and said: "If Mr. Pei really wants to kill me, I have nothing to do wrong. My behavior is considered a betrayal, and I deserve death."

"I just hope that you will return my sister's body to me, and when I die, let my father bury us with my mother."

"Wait until the bottom, so that I can reunite with my mother."

Such a feudal background of cannibalism is destined to create countless such poor people.

Although Lian Yi was very sad and emotional, she was not the Holy Mother, she was murdered by their brothers and sisters many times, and it was the greatest kindness to let him go, and she couldn't ask her to spare any more energy and compassion to protect him and his family. comprehensive.

Having promised to let him go, Lian Yi no longer treats him as a prisoner.

After having him settle down, he ordered Shu Qingwan's subordinates to go to the city to retrieve Yunyan's body, and then went back to the back room with Shu Qingwan.
