Qin Xiu [comprehensive martial arts + sword three]

After sending away a few younger ones, the group of five went to the main hall.

Apart from Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Xian'er, the people who were invited to the main hall this time were a few well-known figures of high morals and prestige. They were invited to be witnesses.

After these people came one after another, Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Xian'er finally came, they were not just two, they were accompanied by Long Yousheng and several other people Long Wan didn't know.

I will remember Long Yousheng because he came from Cangjian Villa, a place with the same name as Jiansanli's Cangjian, so Long Wan looked sideways at him to some extent.

However, there is no such thing as Master Xinjian mentioned by the people in the night. In fact, due to the rush of time for this engagement banquet, many guests from far away could not come on time. Shaolin Temple is one of them, and this kind of wedding banquet It's not easy for them to attend the banquet.

Among this group of people, Bai Xiaosheng was the first to appear at the door. Half a step away from him, Lin Xian'er walked in the middle of everyone, like the stars and the moon, and every step seemed to be carefully planned. Passionate, graceful, romantic and charming.

Because Hua Ruling and Li Xunhuan had been reminded by the man in black, when they looked at these people carefully, as people who had experienced it, they discovered that among this group of people, there was a vague ambiguity centered on Lin Xianer, who was a man who had mutual thoughts. There is a special feeling between you and a woman.

What surprised them the most was that this feeling didn't just exist between Lin Xian'er and Bai Xiaosheng, she, Long Yousheng, and every other man.

The two big men had a strange idea that was almost ridiculous.

Are these men Lin Xian'er's lovers?

But considering that Lin Xian'er was born in a brothel—even though she has left that place now—she used to be a celebrity who sold both her body and her talent, it doesn't seem impossible.

It's no wonder that she can instigate so many men. If a woman uses her beauty as a weapon, she will be invincible until men hate her.

Lin Xian'er is extremely sensitive to the way men look at her. She raised her eyes slightly and found that the people looking at her were Hua Ruling and Li Xunhuan, a glint of complacency flashed in her eyes. , and then I did not forget to look at the only woman present besides her.

The woman—Long Wan, stared at her expressionlessly, the smile on the corner of Lin Xian'er's mouth froze, and the handkerchief in her sleeve was wrinkled.

It was that kind of look again, that kind of aloof expression, as if looking at an ant, which made her wish to tear her face apart, and made her dare not look at her like that again.

(Long Wan (indifferent face): I am not looking at ants, I am looking at garbage.)

Ah, there is no need for her to tear the opponent's face, the face under the veil is already ruined.Thinking of the rumors in the world that I have heard, and then thinking of Long Wan who did not take off her veil to toast in front of everyone at her daughter's engagement banquet.She believed the rumors more and more.

Can a disfigured woman still be a woman?Her husband must have hated her, that's why he has been paying attention to this beauty, right?

Lin Xian'er suddenly felt more at ease, and even this look was not so obtrusive anymore.

Just wait, sooner or later she will make this woman dare not look at her like this again.

Lin Xian'er was still there, thinking darkly about how to seduce Hua Ruling so that Long Wan would lose her identity as the wife of the Hua family, and the people on both sides had already started saluting and greeting.

Bai Xiaosheng asked: "I don't know why Master Li and the Lord of Huabao asked us to come here?"

Hua Ruling clasped his hands and said, "I don't want to bother you early in the morning. It's really a big event happened in Peach Blossom Castle yesterday, so I invite you all to come and discuss."

The people who were invited looked at each other in blank dismay: "I don't know what is the big deal?"

Hua Ruling glanced at Li Xun Huan, the latter nodded, and he said: "To be honest, Master Li and his wife were assassinated by an assassin in the castle last night, and they almost lost their lives."

"Assassin assassination?" Everyone didn't expect that Hua Ruling came to them for this purpose, but considering Li Xunhuan's identity as the prefect of Yangzhou, if something happened in Peach Blossom Castle, none of them would be able to escape.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Xian'er were also surprised. Although they knew that things had changed before Lin Xian'er's guards came back last night, they were still a little nervous when things came to an end.

Moreover, what Hua Ruling said was completely different from what they arranged. Lin Xianer asked the man in black to pretend to be a "Plum Blossom Thief", but when Hua Ruling told her he became an assassin, the reputation of "Plum Blossom Thief" spread to everyone. If you don't go out, it will do them more harm than good.

Moreover, the person sent was brought by Lin Xian'er. If it is really said to be an assassin, Lin Xian'er will not escape, and it will be even more troublesome if the matter involves the government.

"Yes, assassination!" Hua Ruling nodded, "Master Li and Mrs. Li's martial arts are not bad, so they didn't get caught by the thief. Not only did they escape danger, but they also caught the assassin."

"But to our surprise, that assassin was brought by a guest of my Peach Blossom Castle." Hua Ruling changed her tone and looked at Lin Xian'er fixedly: "Miss Lin, that assassin is yours." Where's the guard?"

"Ah?! What?" Lin Xian'er looked overly frightened, and turned pale: "My guard? Impossible?"

The acting skills are not bad, but it's true to pretend that you don't know the inside story.Long Wan stood up and spoke after Hua Ruling.

"That's right, it's Miss Lin, your bodyguard, and we found out after we asked, the assassin has already confessed, he was sent by you and Bai Xiaosheng."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately denied it and said: "Blood spraying people! Literal nonsense! I have no grievances with Mr. Li, why should I send someone to assassinate him?!"

Lin Xian'er also said with tears in her eyes: "Senior Bai said that I didn't know Lord Li and his wife before, why did I send someone to assassinate them? And even though that person is my guard, he is also my new wife. I hired him, he must have harbored evil intentions long ago and accepted my invitation on purpose, I didn't expect him to wrong me so much." After saying that, he covered his face with his sleeves, crying pear blossoms with a pitiful appearance.

For a beauty like her to be empty, someone must be reluctant to let her go. Long Yousheng and others argued for her, and they all said that Lin Xian'er was not that kind of person.

"It must be the assassin who saw the incident was exposed, so he intentionally clung to people!" They didn't dare to say that it was the Hua family's nonsense, after all, this matter involved the assassination of the imperial court official, and if it was not good, they would have to fall into it.

No matter how disdainful the court was, the Jianghu people did not dare to easily provoke high-ranking officials.

"But what's the misunderstanding?" Several celebrities who were invited to be witnesses also felt that Bai Xiaosheng was not that kind of person.

"Since we dare to say it, we have found out the truth of the matter and have evidence." Long Wan said, she looked at Lin Xian'er who was crying beautifully, and a sneer sneered at the corner of her mouth under the veil: "The assassin said, He was instigated by others and prepared to pretend to be a 'Plum Blossom Thief' to commit crimes everywhere, and when the time is right, he will have an accident with others, steal Shaolin Temple secret books, and then set the blame on others."

This was another shocking anecdote, and everyone was deafened by the sudden explosion.

"Full of nonsense!" Bai Xiaosheng didn't expect that person to even confess to this matter, and suddenly became angry: "Mrs. Hua, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. The method is all about evidence. What evidence do you have to prove what you said?" Is it true?"

"Of course." Long Wan said, "Bring him up."

A guard led the order to go down, and it didn't take long before he and several other guards pressed the man in black up.

At this time, the man in black was taken care of, and he was still wearing night clothes, but it was not the one that was torn by whipping. He was given the hemostatic pill by Long Wan. After the blood volume on his body recovered, the wound was also healing, but The man in black had his acupuncture points tapped, so he couldn't see the healing wounds on his body, and he thought he had taken the "Three Corpse Brain Pill" and thought that the itchy and numb feeling when the wound healed was the effect of the poison , His face was pale with fright, and he looked devastated.

Seeing that this person was really Lin Xian'er's guard, everyone's expressions changed, but seeing that Lin Xian'er really didn't seem to know the inside story, they believed her exoneration words again. Long Wan didn't care what they thought, just opened his mouth Said: "Tell me again what you know."

The man in black was frightened by the "Three Corpse Brain Pill" at this time, so he knew everything he could say, and as soon as Long Wan ordered him, he immediately said everything, including their order not to talk When it came to Lin Shiyin and Hua Ying, he only said that he was arranged to get rid of Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xiaosheng laughed and said, "It's really nonsense. You said that we asked you to assassinate Mr. Li, but Mr. Li was not in Peach Blossom Castle at all yesterday. How could we send you to assassinate him?" he?"

"How do you know Master Li is not in Peach Blossom Castle?" Long Wan asked quietly.

Bai Xiaosheng said reflexively: "Of course I saw Master Li leave."

"But it's impossible for you to see it." Long Wan looked at him, "Master Li was called away overnight the night before, and he left in a hurry, so he rode back alone. It was almost three o'clock at that time. , their yard is one to the east and the other to the west of the yard for receiving guests, and in order to go back early, he even walked through the small gate on the east side, which is in a completely different direction from your yard. In such a dark night, don’t you stay Rest in your own room, and run to the east gate to watch him leave?"

The courtyard where Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin often live is very close to the courtyard of Long Wan and Hua Ruling, and it is part of the inner house, while the place where these guests live belongs to the outer house. Normally, the guests of the outer house are not allowed without the owner's consent. Will enter the inner house.

And because Peach Blossom Fort occupies a large area, for the convenience of entering and exiting, there are several gates for people to enter and exit in the fort, and the east gate is close to the inner house, so this gate is only used by the internal staff of the Hua family, not for outsiders. of.

Then why did Bai Xiaosheng see Li Xunhuan going out from here?And what was he planning to do there so late?

For a moment, everyone's suspicious eyes fell on Bai Xiaosheng.
