Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 466

"Go and see first."

He Lanzhun said as he stepped out the door.

There was not much movement in the yard, and there were only two entrances, and the furnishings were simple.

"I just found out that the prostitution house looks like this." Xiao Huai looked around.

"You don't need to know too much about this kind of thing." He Lanzhun said calmly.Then he waved to the guards, and those who were ordered immediately jumped up to the roof like cats, and everything returned to calm under the night.

Both of them stood with their arms folded, seemingly leisurely, but they didn't make any more jokes.

After a while, there was a rhythmic whistle from the roof, and a guard jumped down and said to him: "Young master, there is no one in the house, but there are people living in it.

"The owner is a young woman. There are traces of long-term living in the house, and then a sword was found in the wall."

As he spoke, he presented the sword he had brought with both hands.

Xiao Huai stretched out his hand to take it, the long sword was ordinary in shape, nothing special about it.

"It should be kept by your side for self-defense. But at least it shows that this person knows martial arts."

He handed the sword to He Lanzhun: "It's really surprising that a prostitute who knows martial arts has a secret door with a Taoist temple."

He Lanzhun didn't answer, looked at the sword repeatedly for a while, then raised his head and said, "Go and invite Master Huo immediately."

King Yan's mansion is close to the six yamen, Huo Jiu simply moved back to the mansion since he entered the Ministry of Punishment.

At this moment, King Yan was meeting guests in the Duanyang Palace, and he was his companion. Hearing that He Lanzhun was looking for him urgently, he reported to King Yan and came to this prostitution hall.

He Lanzhun took out the sword: "Do you recognize it?"

Taking the sword in his hand, Huo Jiu took a few glances and said suddenly: "It's the same as the sword I fished from the bottom of the canal that day."

"Do you see it clearly?" Xiao Huai said.

"It's also two feet and nine inches, and the material is fine iron, so there's nothing wrong with it." Huo Jiu said firmly.

He Lanzhun was not surprised.The reason why he asked someone to invite him was naturally something in his heart.

The one who assassinated them on the boat that day was a singer, and this place is such a dusty place, which is enough to show that there are many such women under the opponent's hands.

"If this person doesn't have the power to respond to everyone, he really doesn't have the ability to lay such a large plate." Xiao Huai looked up and looked around: "Let's talk in another place first."

Su Yan was left here with his men in ambush, and the three of them left the yard and went to the open space.

"Since this prostitution hall is next door to the Taoist temple, even if not all the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are related to killers, there must be their spies hidden among them.

"So, the people who followed you that day must have been the people from the pier.

"They missed at the pier and hid for so long and didn't come out, but this time they just followed secretly. I don't know what they want to do?"

Xiao Huai said while holding the sword while looking at it.

He remembered that he had discussed the origin of these killers with Shen Xi, and Shen Ruopu also speculated that the killers came for He Lanzhun.

This is strange, what enmity can He Lanzhun have with them?Or... Xu Jing?
He raised his head to look at him, because Huo Jiu didn't know about his resurrection, so he didn't ask the question.

"Simply arrest that Taoist priest for interrogation." On the way here, Huo Jiu had heard the guards explain the reason, so he asked now.

"No need for now." Xiao Huai said, "There is no one in the yard, and it doesn't look like they are running away in fright. I guess they just went out temporarily, and we will wait for her to come back and have a look."

Speaking of this, he thought for a while, and then said: "If there is nothing important waiting for you at the Chengyun Hall, you can take a few people to the Taifu's mansion to have a look.

"If possible, try to find out what Bi Shangyun is doing now, and then leave a few people there to guard. Bi Shangyun is extremely suspicious."

Huo Jiu frowned, pinched his chin and said, "Do you feel that the relationship between the prince and Mrs. Bi is a little delicate?"

Xiao Huai looked at He Lanzhun, He Lan knew more about Chengyun Palace than him.

"There are some." He said briefly, and then said: "Let's not talk about this floor, you go to Bi Mansion first."

Huo Jiu didn't say anything, and left quickly with the people.

There were only two of them left here, and He Lanzhun said with an unpredictable expression, "I don't think you guessed wrong, whether it's the killer on the pier or the one stalking outside Zhang's house, they all came after me.

"Or, it's for Xu Jing."

These words were like a stone, easily floating Xiao Huai's thoughts.

"Remember when I told you that my death in Yunnan was a conspiracy?"

He Lanzhun raised his head again: "Back then I found out that Duan You was suspected of treason. Although the evidence of Duan You's crime was convincing and he himself confessed to the crime, I always doubted his exact reason for doing so.

"What's more, I found out that he still has some ties to Prince An's Mansion. After combining several things, I can easily become the target of the other party's silence while staying in Yunnan for detailed investigation."

Xiao Huai nodded, he had heard it from him on the way to meet King Yan that night.

"What do you mean, those people who silenced you in the past have now discovered that you are Xu Jing, so they came to silence you again?"

He Lanzhun looked back at him: "Think about it the other way around, if the person who killed me back then was the one who helped Wen Chan kill Aying, now that he finds out that I still exist, would he still not keep me?"

Xiao Huai put his hands on his hips and furrowed his brows tightly.

Back then Wen Chan killed Zhang Ying with her own hands, and when she learned that Zhang Ying had become Shen Xi, her first reaction was to kill her.

Therefore, He Lanzhun's speculation is very reasonable. Those who killed him killed him in order to silence him, so once they knew that he might come back to life, they would naturally kill him too.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, he has martial arts and strategies, and he has a great chance of seeking revenge!Who would allow himself to be hunted for revenge at the end of his life?
"So I guess that the person who helped the emperor to kill A Ying in the past, and the person who murdered me because of Duan You's incident, is not only alive, but the Taoist temple and brothel in front of me are clues.

"And what we need to investigate now is the identity of this person. Is he Bi Shangyun? And what hatred does he have with Prince An's Mansion? So much so that it implicates the entire Great Qin?"

He Lanzhun looked up at the courtyard with red lights not far away, and said slowly.

In fact, after the investigation, it is possible that Bi Shangyun is just the last layer of veil, and what they can be sure of is that this person does exist.

Xiao Huai looked at him after being silent: "How could they suspect that you are Xu Jing?"

He Lanzhun stared at him for a while, then said in a rambling voice, "Didn't Ah Ying tell you that I look exactly like Xu Jing?"

Xiao Huai froze immediately, as if he had just swallowed a big frog alive, his whole face was distorted...

Shen Xi slept until midnight, but felt that there was nothing beside him, and thought that Xiao Huai had gone to the study, turned over and fell asleep again.

In a daze, she heard Qi Jiu calling her, and her tone was a little eager.

"Girl, there is a situation!"

Qi Jiu gently pushed her.

She finally opened her eyes and sat up after seeing her clearly.

"Liu Menglan is showing her feet again. Just now Wang'er saw him slipping out of the palace and let him go in the tree hole west of the palace!"

Qi Jiu took out a note rolled into a small roll and handed it to her.
