Chapter 657 Search (Second Update)
Mu Xuan said, "The bigger the trouble, the better. Wulu has nowhere to hide. He was seriously injured and was hit by a poisoned arrow. If he didn't show up for treatment, he would die of poison in a few days! So... ..."

He rolled his eyes and said with a sneer, "As long as he wants to live, he will definitely show up."

Luo Fucai and Zong Wuji listened to his analysis and agreed.

The three of them made a detailed plan and decided to go to the prime minister's mansion of Wan Qi Xie at night.

……

Thus, in the New Prime Minister's Mansion on the night of the second day of junior high school, an assassination incident occurred.

The assassin was looking for documents in the study, and when he saw Wan Qixie coming, he immediately drew his sword and stabbed him.

Wan Qixi was so frightened that he exclaimed loudly, "Come here, catch the assassin!"

The assassin fled through the door.

The servants of Wanqi Mansion carried lanterns and searched for assassins around the mansion.

But no trace was found.

When the servants traced it until dawn, someone picked up a letter at the door of the study.

Wan Qixi shook out the letter paper and found that it was written in bronze.

He had once been a diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Jin, and he knew many golden inscriptions.

The content of the letter was written by a woman to her husband.

"...It is said that a woman serving her husband is like a minister serving the king. A minister serving the king has a single heart, and then it is called loyalty; a woman serving her husband has a single heart, and then it is called a festival. Therefore, loyal ministers do not matter. Second Monarch, if a maiden does not replace her second husband, Liang also..."

The inscribed name is Wulin Dashi.

This is……

Wan Qixi remembered one thing. Last year, a major event happened in the Kingdom of Jin. The gold master fell in love with Wanyan Wulu's wife.

He found an excuse to say that Wanyan Wulu intended to rebel.

Wanyan Wulu retorted that there was no objection, it was a false accusation.

The benefactor asked Wanyan Wulu to send his wife and children to Dadu as a hostage, so he believed Wanyan Wulu's words.

Wanyan Wulu's wife, Wu Linda, guessed the benefactor's malice and didn't want to be humiliated, so she threw herself into the lake on the way.

Before he died, he wrote a last letter.

In order to commemorate his deceased wife, Wanyan Wulu always carried that letter with him.

And this letter appeared here again...

So, the person who assassinated last night was Wanyan Wulu?

Wan Qixi pinched his beard and fell into thought.

He got the secret news that Wanyan Wulu had come to Lin'an City, and wanted to meet Gaozong and ask Gaozong to help him win the throne and avenge his wife.

But judging from the time of the information, Wanyan Wulu should have arrived in Lin'an City on New Year's Eve, but today is the second year of junior high school, and the last shadow has not yet been seen.

Could it be that when Wanyan Wulu came to Lin'an, he didn't really want to meet Gaozong, but to kill him?
Thinking of the past, Wan Qixi confirmed more and more that this matter was true, and confirmed that Wanyan Wulu wanted to kill him.

Because when he was sent to the Kingdom of Jin, he had a conflict with Wanyan Wulu.

Thinking of this, Wan Qixi became more and more frightened!
No, he has to strike first!

He wants to find out where Wanyan Wulu is, and kill Wanyan Wulu to claim credit for the benefactor. In this way, he can promote the friendship between the two countries, and Gaozong will appreciate him.

Killing one person and pleasing the kings of the two countries is really killing two birds with one stone.

However, in order to prevent others from stealing this great achievement, Wan Qixi did not say that it was Wanyan Wulu who was assassinating him, only that he wanted to catch the assassin.

He ordered his servant to report to Lin'an Mansion immediately.

The prime minister's mansion was assassinated, of course the Lin'an mansion did not dare to neglect, and almost all the yamen servants were dispatched to search the city.

No matter whether it is the princes and ministers or the homes of ordinary people, no family is spared.

Of course, this was the assassination of the prime minister's family, except for a few royal relatives, no one was bigger than the prime minister's family.

Even Qin Xi's house was searched by the yamen servants.

Qin Xi didn't dare to scold in person, and when the yamen servant left, he put his hands on his hips and cursed loudly, "Idiot assassin, you can't kill an old man, an idiot assassin who takes money and doesn't do anything!"

After searching the main urban area, the yamen servants also searched the less populated sub-urban area.

Such as the West Lake area.

In this area, there are Jingyuan, the other courtyard of Duke Hengyang, Liuyueyuan where Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang live, and a few scholars who live at leisure.

Scholars live in shabby shacks, which are only three or two rooms inside and out. Standing at the gate, you can see the appearance of the whole courtyard clearly, and you don't need to search.

The Duke of Hengyang didn't live in Jingyuan, but moved to Furong Villa outside the city at the end of the year.

He disliked the noise of firecrackers in the city.

The houses of the residents outside the city are far away, and the sound of firecrackers is relatively not so ear-piercing.

There were only a couple of old servants in the quiet garden, and there were not many people living there. The yamen servants didn't dare to search more, so they only walked around and came out.

Next, they came to Liuyue Garden.

Currently, this house has the largest number of people.

A dozen yamen servants knocked on the door of the house together.

When the gatekeeper saw that the visitor was not friendly, he immediately looked alert, and asked coldly, "Your lords, what are you doing?"

In the past, they all thought that Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang were just two ordinary rich people who bought the big house because of Zhao Cong's favor.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng's identity turned out to be the son of Princess Chengyang.

Everyone in the house was elated.

Now they are not afraid at all of these once proud government servants.

Princess Chengyang died crying out for injustice. After the matter was found out, the clan members of the Zhao family felt sorry for Princess Chengyang.

Many people appealed and asked Gaozong to treat Princess Chengyang's son kindly.

Coupled with the fact that Duke Hengyang has always supported Luo Cheng, Gaozong's attitude towards Luo Cheng became more polite.

Because of this reason, officials of all sizes in Lin'an City did not dare to show power to Luo Cheng.

The masters are all afraid of Luo Cheng, let alone the servants below?
But right now, there are assassins in the prime minister's mansion. Although the servants are afraid of Luo Cheng, they still bite the bullet and say, "The prime minister was assassinated, and the assassin escaped. The magistrate ordered the entire city to search for the assassin. Regardless of the official level in the city, all Search. Your house is the last one, get out of the way quickly! I have to do errands."

The gatekeeper still said coldly, "I'll reply to you after I ask our lord for instructions. His Royal Highness Prince Pu'an has come to the house today. It's better for you to be quiet."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door and went into the inner house to ask Luo Cheng and Li Niang for instructions.

The servants had no choice but to wait.

If it was another family, they would dare to kick open the door, but they would not rush to Luo Cheng's house.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng were discussing matters with Zhao Cong in the main hall of the back house, and when she heard the servant guarding the gate say that a group of yamen servants had come, she immediately sneered, "Looking for assassins? How many people are here?"

"Back to the eldest lady, there are twelve people here."

"The visitor is not kind." Luo Cheng said coldly.

"Coax away! They are so courageous, they dared to search here? Are they suspecting who is the assassin? Do you suspect His Highness?" Zhao Cong sneered.

"No, Cong'er, let them come in and search!" Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes.

Zhao Cong hurriedly said, "But, mother..."

Zhao Cong already knew that there was a person from the Kingdom of Jin hiding in Li Jiaoniang Luo Cheng's house, and he was worried that this sudden search was aimed at that person.
