son, don't mess around

Chapter 180 Two birds with one stone

"Sure enough!"

The news that Lin Qingqing brought back just verified Lin Jiangnian's conjecture.

"The Wang family was wiped out, I'm afraid it has something to do with them!"

When he was in the dungeon, Lin Jiangnian was only guessing.But hearing that the people of the Tenjin Cult suddenly left in a hurry at this point in time, it seemed to be a ghost.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian immediately asked, "Any news about their whereabouts?"

Lin Qingqing shook her head with some regret: "When my subordinates arrived at the inn, they had already left. I sent people to inquire about their whereabouts, but..."

"The other party's tracks are weird, coupled with their cautious and cautious style, it may not be easy to find them!"

What Lin Qingqing said was correct. Since the last chance encounter, the people of the Heavenly God Sect have been extremely low-key in Xunyang City, hardly attracting anyone's attention.If it hadn't been for Lin Jiangnian's accidental discovery this time, I am afraid that no one would associate the Wang Family's Miemen with the Tianshen Sect.

Even Lin Jiangnian would not have thought of this without his previous contact with Liu Su.

"How many are they?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked.

Lin Qingqing bowed her head and said, "According to the innkeeper, there are about seven or eight people in the other party's party, including two women..."

"Two women?"

Lin Jiangnian was taken aback.

Although there are quite a few women in the Heavenly God Sect, Liu Su was the first thing he thought of.

Could these two women be related to Liu Su?

Will she appear in Xunyang City?

Just when he was about to ask something, he realized something and glanced beside him.

Zhiyuan sat quietly at the side, looking at the courtyard, as if she didn't hear the conversation between the two.

Lin Jiangnian was about to speak, but held back.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Lin Qingqing asked: "Do you need your subordinates to hunt them down?"

Lin Jiangnian thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, it's not necessary!"

Since these believers of the Heavenly God Sect acted cautiously, after leaving the inn, they might have left Xunyang City as soon as possible.It is extremely difficult to hunt down, and it is thankless.

For Lin Jiangnian, it was a waste of energy.

It is not known whether the Wang family's destruction of the family was done by the people of the Tianshen Sect.It is still unclear whether the Wang family was silenced or sought revenge, and how many grievances there are.

However, none of this has much to do with Lin Jiangnian.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Zhiyuan beside him: "What do you think?"

Zhiyuan was admiring the scenery in the courtyard, when she heard Lin Jiangnian's words, she was silent for a long time without opening her mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian waved his hand towards Lin Qingqing.

How smart is Lin Qingqing?
After looking at Sister Zhiyuan and then at His Highness, I realized that she was no longer a redundant person, so I hurriedly resigned and left the courtyard quickly.

After Lin Qingqing left, Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I did miss something this time. I didn't expect that someone would be one step ahead!"

"However, the fate of the Wang family seems to be exactly the same as that of the Jiang family back then..."

History may be reincarnation after all.

Back then, the Wang family united with other families in Xunyang County to plot against the Jiang family, which resulted in the Jiang family being wiped out. Isn't the Wang family today very much like the Jiang family back then?

"You said, is this considered retribution?"

Zhiyuan's eyes fell quietly in the courtyard. After a while, he said coldly: "We must eradicate the weeds!"

"Hey, you think farther than I do!"

Lin Jiang young laughed, looking at Zhiyuan's cold face, he didn't seem to be joking.

Obviously, she was reminding Lin Jiangnian of something.

Back then, the Jiang family was wiped out, but Zhiyuan survived.Today, more than ten years later, Zhiyuan came to revenge.Even though the destruction of the Wang family had nothing to do with her, the fact that the Wang family has come to this point is all thanks to the paper kite.

Now the Wang family has been wiped out, but there are still people in the Wang family who escaped by luck.For example, Wang Changjin whose whereabouts are unknown, or Wang Qin who is still locked in the dungeon...

What Zhi Yuan said was to remind Lin Jiangnian...don't let someone from the Wang family have a chance to become the next her.

"Don't worry, I have plans!"

Lin Jiang smiled young: "Yuan Zhongnan would not want anyone alive in the Wang family even more than us. As for the others, we can wait... After all, this time, someone is more anxious than us!"

Zhiyuan withdrew her gaze, landed on Lin Jiangnian, stared at his face for a few times, then turned her gaze away.

Then he got up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Go out and walk around."

Zhiyuan didn't even look back.

……

The news that the Wang family was wiped out could not be concealed for long.

The attack on the prefect's mansion alarmed the city defense army, and these things could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of those who are interested.Such a big movement naturally alarmed all forces in Xunyang City.

Although no one knows the specific situation, many aristocratic families in Xunyang City have sent people to inquire.

As a result, the prefect's mansion was tightly closed, and the guards inside and outside the mansion were strengthened to keep out all those who came to test and visit.

As a result, it caused panic and anxiety among the aristocratic families.

More thoughtful people discovered that the guards inside and outside the prefecture had a group of new faces.All clues point to a very bad omen, which is getting worse.

And all the pressure fell on Yuan Zhongnan.Before the news of the destruction of the Wang family could not be concealed, he had to stabilize the matter as soon as possible and minimize the impact as much as possible.

Otherwise, once unrest is caused, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, no clues have been found regarding the case of the Wang family's extermination.Just as Yuan Zhongnan was looking gloomy and anxious, Lin Jiangnian suddenly sent someone to bring clues.

"Tianjinism?!"

Yuan Zhongnan looked down at the letter sent by His Royal Highness Prince Lin in his hand, frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he looked up at the door expressionlessly: "Here comes someone!"

A soldier in armor hurried in.

"Go check!"

Yuan Zhongnan threw the letter in his hand in front of the soldiers with an expressionless face: "Dig the ground three feet to find out the people of the Tianshen Sect!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, will Yuan Zhongnan believe it?"

Lin Qingqing stood aside, a little confused.

Why did His Highness suddenly ask her to hand over the clues and news of the God Sect to Yuan Zhongnan?
Lin Jiangnian lay leisurely on the rocking chair in the yard, squinting his eyes, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Xiao Zhu obediently leaned aside, carefully serving His Royal Highness.

The weather was getting colder, and the little maid helped His Highness wrap the clothes around his body without any trace.

"He will."

Lin Jiangnian was confident, half-smiling but not smiling: "Even if he doesn't believe it, he will still take a gamble."

Lin Qingqing was still puzzled, but Lin Jiangnian didn't explain further.

Yuan Zhongnan would definitely believe it, after all Lin Jiangnian did not lie to him.

This time, the majestic Xunyang prefect was killed under his nose. If he could not solve the case as soon as possible and handle the matter properly, it would have a great impact on him, the governor of Yanzhou.Not only will it affect his authority in Yanzhou, but it will also affect the court's opinion of him.

At this time, Lin Jiangnian suddenly sent a clue, no matter it was true or false, he would not let it go.

If it is false, it has no effect on him.But if it is true, this is Lin Jiangnian's gift to the governor of Yanzhou.

More importantly, Lin Jiangnian didn't have the interest and energy to hunt down the Tenjin Cultists.

But Yuan Zhongnan was different.

He will be very interested.

Lin Qingqing was thoughtful and didn't ask any more questions.

"Your Highness, I have just received a lot of news about this Celestial Cult..."

"Last month, the prince ordered a large-scale raid on the believers of the Tenjin Sect in Linzhou, and many people were arrested. However, I heard that the Tenhen Sect seemed to have taken precautions, so they failed to catch many useful people... ..."

Lin Qingqing was puzzled while speaking.I wonder why the lord would suddenly attack that god sect. Why did the lord personally order to capture an organization that he had rarely heard of before?
Lin Jiangnian's heart is like a mirror, and Lin Hengzhong's attack on the Tianshen Cult was already expected by him.After all, Liu Su failed to assassinate Lin Hengzhong, and the mastermind behind this was the Tenjin Sect.

As for the prevention within the Tenjin Sect, it is estimated that Liu Su tipped the news.

"By the way, where's the paper kite?"

Lin Jiangnian asked suddenly, as if he hadn't seen her today?

"Sister Zhiyuan went out early in the morning." Before Lin Qingqing could speak, Xiaozhu's voice came from the side.

"Going out? Where did she go?"

"do not know……"

Xiaozhu shook his head.

Lin Jiangnian was a little puzzled, where did the kite go?
Could it be that there are some acquaintances of hers in Xunyang City?
……

Inside Xunyang City.

In the western suburbs, a private residence.

A light figure climbed over the wall, fell into the courtyard, and walked towards the room.

As soon as she reached the door of the room, when she was about to open the door, she was taken aback for a moment, and at the same time became alert for a moment.

Is there anyone in the room? !
"Who?!"

She spoke with a fierce look and immediately reached out to touch the sword at her waist.

The next second, a cold voice came from the room: "It's me."

The woman outside the door was stunned, and the next second a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she pushed the door open.

In the quiet room, wearing a green shirt, sat quietly at the table.

"Sister, is that you?!"

Shen Lingjun said in surprise: "Are you still alive?!"

Soon, Shen Lingjun realized that what she said was inappropriate: "Bah bah, look at my nonsense..."

Shen Lingjun stepped forward excitedly, looked up and down at the woman in green shirt, and was very surprised: "Sister, where have you been all this time? I haven't heard from you since you left a while ago, I thought..."

Speaking of this, Shen Lingjun felt a little frightened.

The elder sister in front of her has never appeared since she left last time.

During this period of time, the city was turbulent, and Shen Lingjun went out to inquire many times, but she never found her sister's whereabouts, so much so that she almost thought that something bad happened to her sister.

Seeing her sister appearing in front of her right now, she couldn't say how happy she was!

"This matter is beyond words..."

Zhi Yuan quietly looked at the woman in front of her, as if she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.There was a moment of silence: "There was an accident, but it's okay."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Shen Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.Then I remembered something: "By the way, what happened before my sister..."

"It has ended."

"Finish?"

Shen Lingjun was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Zhiyuan was silent for a while: "The revenge of the Wang family has been avenged..."

"..."

After listening to Zhiyuan's words, Shen Lingjun's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You, you mean...Wang, the Wang family was wiped out?"

"The members of the Wang family are all dead?!"

Zhiyuan nodded calmly: "Yes."

Shen Lingjun was in a daze, and didn't recover for a long time.

During this period of time, she often inquired about news in the city, and often followed the movements of the Wang family.In the past two days, she did notice that something was wrong with the prefect's mansion, but she never expected that the Wang family was... destroyed?
The news came so suddenly that she couldn't accept it for a while.

His eyes were dull for a long time, and then he seemed to think of something. He raised his head and looked at Zhiyuan: "Yes, who did it?"

Zhiyuan shook her head and did not explain.

She looked at Shen Lingjun in front of her and said, "I'm leaving!"

Shen Lingjun finally came back to his senses: "Go, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the capital."

As if thinking of something, Zhiyuan's voice became softer.

"The capital?"

Just as she was about to ask her sister what she was doing in the capital, Shen Lingjun held back.

She remembered that her sister said that she would come to Xunyang City to take revenge, and her sister's enemy seemed to be related to the Wang family.

Now that the Wang family has been wiped out, it also means that the elder sister will be avenged.

So……

She might indeed have to leave.

"So, sister, are you here to say goodbye to me today?"

Shen Lingjun felt a little regretful, but also a little bit reluctant.

"Ah."

Zhiyuan nodded, fell silent for a while, and said, "Thank you for this time!"

Shen Lingjun quickly waved her hand: "Where is it, thank you for what I did, I should thank you..."

She was able to come to Xunyang City alive, thanks to this sister.

Otherwise, in the state where she lost all her martial arts at that time, no one knew what would happen.

"Speaking of which, I can't do anything to help you, sister!"

Shen Lingjun felt somewhat regretful.

She thought she would be able to show off her skills this time, but she didn't expect that the Wang family would be wiped out before she could take action.

It made her feel uninvolved.

Zhiyuan seemed to see her thoughts, glanced at her, and said softly, "You are the most righteous woman I have ever seen. I hope you can keep this original intention in the future."

Shen Lingjun blinked, sense of justice?

"Sister, are you the same?!" Shen Lingjun said, she also felt that the sister in front of her was also very kind and had a sense of justice.

Didn't they just walk together all the way a while ago, fighting for justice?

Zhi Yuan didn't say anything more, took out a piece of jade from her bosom, and handed it to Shen Lingjun: "I'm going to the capital, you keep this piece of jade, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can take this piece of jade to the capital to find it." I, when the time comes, someone will pick you up..."

Shen Lingjun looked down at the jade in her hand, it was crystal clear, and it was worth a lot at first glance. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Zhiyuan waving her hand: "Okay, I should go!"

Hearing this, Shen Lingjun inevitably felt a little sad.

Although she has only known this sister for a short time, she likes her very much and has helped her a lot along the way.She is indeed a little bit reluctant to be separated now.

We parted this time, and we don't know when we will meet again next time.

When children in the world say goodbye, they often say goodbye forever.

Shen Lingjun walked to the door. When he saw his sister was about to leave, he seemed to think of something: "By the way, sister, I still don't know your name?"

It was only then that she remembered that she still didn't know the name of this unknown sister.

Zhiyuan's steps slowed down a bit, paused, and said calmly: "Zhiyuan."

"Paper kite?"

Shen Lingjun muttered the name silently, his eyes brightening slightly.

Good to hear.

Watching Sister Zhiyuan's figure disappear into the street, Shen Lingjun looked away with some regret. Just as he was about to go back, he turned around and suddenly fell on an old man wearing a gray robe and carrying a box on the side of the street.

Shen Lingjun was stunned for a moment, and then was pleasantly surprised.

"Master, uncle?"

"How will you be here?!!"

"..."
