The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 48

Xiao Yu stared into Han Yi's eyes, feeling that there was something hidden there, she pondered for a moment, "It's about the assassin in the Garden of Heroes."

Han Yi calmed down a little, "I asked my brothers to check the situation of entering and leaving the city. The soldiers guarding the city did not pay attention to the situation that nine people entered and exited during this period. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they left the city in groups. Maybe, I think it's more reliable, that is, they didn't go out from the city at all, but—"

"Outside the city in the first place?"

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful look on his face, "It's very possible. After all, their target is me. I will go out of the city to the Garden of Heroes sooner or later. They don't want to attract more people's attention, so they set the assassination site in the cemetery of the Garden of Heroes." .”

"If this is the case, it would be superfluous to enter the city, so they are most likely to come from other places."

Han Yi nodded in agreement: "The master is smart, and the subordinates think so too. Moreover, we have tattooed the killer's body and asked someone to look at it. It is a peony flower."

"Peony?"

Xiao Yu frowned puzzled and asked: "Generally, these are mostly status symbols, either from privately kept killers, or from a certain organization. Lu Shengming said that they are not commonly used by people in Kyoto..."

"Is it a Jianghu organization?"

"Generally, the tattoos used by Jianghu sects are mostly ferocious beasts or mysterious symbols. I have never heard of peony flowers."

Han Yi's voice sank, with a bit of dignity: "It's normal that the master doesn't know, probably not many people in the whole Daqian know."

"How do you say? New sect?"

"That's right." Han Yi rubbed his fingertips, "There is only one mysterious organization in the whole peony tattoo, and this organization is called Lianhua Palace."

"Lianhua Palace...it sounds like a female-dominated sect, it's so elegant."

Xiao Yu held a brush in his hand, and subconsciously traced the tattoos he saw that day, Han Yi glanced at them and continued: "It took us a lot of effort to find out about the organization that sells the news. A little clue, it is said that the Lianhua Palace is a force that has only emerged in recent years, it is extremely mysterious, it rarely takes action, and it rarely accepts orders, and only accepts large orders, the kind that is worth a thousand taels of silver."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "A thousand taels of silver, what a big talker, it looks like they are of a very high level, right? Otherwise, it would be a miracle that such arrogance was not taken away by others."

Han Yi pursed his lips, "Generally speaking, there is no chance of a miss. If it is a miss, the money will be returned to the buyer in full, and then try again for free. Because of this rule, although the Lianhua Palace rarely makes a move, it is very popular in Jianghu and the black market. , has a surprisingly good reputation."

Xiao Yu's pen stopped, and the tip of the pen drew an ink mark on the rice paper, "So - they didn't kill me last time, there will be another time?"

Han Yi was silent for a moment: "Theoretically speaking, that's the case, but with subordinates around, they won't be allowed to succeed."

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.

If she doesn't want to die, no one can take her life away!

With a dark light in his eyes, Xiao Yu asked: "Do you know who is the master behind Lianhua Palace?"

Han Yi shook his head: "This subordinate is incompetent, I can't find it. There are rumors in the world that the master of Lianhua Palace is a stunning beauty, some say that he is a young son, and some say that he is a remnant of the previous dynasty... In short, there are all kinds of rumors. But none of them can stand the test, because no one has seen the master of Lianhua Palace make a move, and they don't even know where Lianhua Palace is."

Xiao Yu was not surprised, "Then how do ordinary people contact Lianhua Palace?"

"It's not the buyer looking for Lianhua Palace, but Lianhua Palace picking the buyer."

Xiao Yu was completely aroused now, she had never seen such a secretive organization before, she put down her pen, sat in front of the table and leaned forward slightly, "Tell me carefully."

Han Yi thought for a moment, then spoke at a gentle speed: "The Lianhua Palace is very powerful, and everyone is an elite. They will investigate the financial resources of the local people in various places. The local snakes with rich family backgrounds or powerful people will attend their preparations. Then they will send them an invitation card with bright peonies painted in cinnabar."

"After opening it, there is a passage inside: Killing people to seize treasure, the peony is the proof, the peony blossoms, and the messenger comes."

Han Yi pursed her lips, "My subordinate guesses that it is probably to put a peony flower in the yard or somewhere, and then the people who watch secretly will come to meet the buyer when they see it."

There are obviously some loopholes in these words, Xiao Yu rubbed his chin, "Just sixteen words? It's vague, what if someone doesn't understand? If you just tore or burned the invitation, wouldn't the two parties have no chance?" reached a cooperation?"

"Um……"

Han Yi hesitated and said, "This subordinate is also very puzzled. Judging from the patchwork news, it seems that whether the buyer is smart or not is also a major consideration."

Xiao Yu: "..."

What a great killer organization, stupid and rich are not worthy of looking for them, right?
It's so hard to live. You can't hire a killer if you don't have a brain these days.

Immediately, her thoughts changed, and she understood the intention of Lianhua Palace, "They are trying to filter out short-term buyers. Smart buyers have seen their capabilities, and they will definitely choose to cooperate again, and will consciously replace them. It’s really a good plan to keep a secret, I kind of want to meet the people behind the scenes.”

Han Yi looked up to observe Xiao Yu's expression, seeing that she was really curious, a little helpless, he cleared his throat, "Master, there are only so many clues for Lianhua Palace."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Yu raised his chin towards the tea on the table, "Drink some tea, after talking so much, are you thirsty?"

Han Yi was not too polite, he was indeed dry mouthed.

Picking up the teacup and taking a few sips, Xiao Yu waited for him to recover before asking: "What about the second thing? I saw that you looked a little weird before, why, this second thing is very troublesome? Or, what did you find out? something?"

Han Yi almost choked, he put down his teacup, and pressed his thin lips tightly, "Master, are you sure you want to listen?"

Xiao Yu tilted his head and spread his hands indifferently: "Han Yi, you still don't know me well enough."

Han Yi thought: I really don't understand.

Xiao Yu's attitude was already obvious, he didn't hesitate anymore, and said bluntly: "The subordinates found out that the master's falling into the water that day was related to the princess and Miss Biao."

"When the master came out of the lord's study that day, Miss Biao invited you to go to the lakeside to have a talk, did she have something to say to you?"

"Well, I went. Xuetian did talk to me for a while. She said that the princess intends to send her back to Duke Ding's mansion, and she came to say goodbye to me."

Han Yi nodded: "Master, do you still remember what happened next?"

Xiao Yu propped her head with one hand, pondered for a moment, in the memory of the original owner, after she finished talking with Zhen Xuetian, Zhen Xuetian left first, she was going to talk to the princess, suddenly a woman came from the rockery Come out there...
