Chapter 74 Northern Qi spy Si Lili

"Western Region?" Emperor Qing muttered, then shook his head, "I don't think so."

"But this son is protecting Fan Xian. For an assassination, he dared to do such a thing in the hall, and even threatened to ask the grand master to come out."

"How much do you think he believes in you as a grand master?"

"It should be less than three points." Hong Sixiang said.

Hearing this, Emperor Qing thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Go down."

"Yes!" Hong Sixiang didn't say much, and left the side hall directly.

And not long after he left, Eunuch Hou trotted in.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Inspection Institute that the Second Prince had a happy conversation with Mr. Fan, but that Zhou Ming has already left the Fan Mansion."

"Where did you go?" Emperor Qing asked hastily.

"It is said that he went to the west, but this person is very powerful, and he disappeared as soon as he left the Fan Mansion, and there is no news about him now. I don't know if he has left the city."

Eunuch Hou was a little apprehensive. In the past, the Appraisal and Inspection Institute was omnipotent. Anyone who wanted to be investigated would be rewarded within a few days!
Even a grand master can find out general information, but for this Zhou Ming, it is really surprising that he can't even figure out his footsteps.

"Si Gu Jian, Ku He, and Ye Liuyun, I asked the Appraisal and Inspection Institute to investigate these three people before, but what new information do they have?" Emperor Qing continued to ask after thinking for a moment.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's still the same. The two great masters, Si Gu Jian and Ku He, have not changed. Grand master Ye Liuyun is still erratic. The last time he appeared was still at the border."

With a soft "hmm", Emperor Qing fell into deep thought again.

Originally, he was still hesitating whether to personally attack Fan Xian and kill him completely!

It's all right now, the other party is very clever, and he just ran away, and he couldn't make a move.

But this son is a big problem. I don't know if he has any footsteps, but he suddenly came into contact with Fan Xian. If he doesn't handle it well, it may have an impact on his grand plan of more than ten years.

It's time for Chen Pingping, the dean of the Inspection Institute, to come back early, let him contact Fan Xian first, and find out all the information about Zhou Ming.

If it really has influence, even if it is to expose a little bit, this person must be killed!

Thinking about it, Emperor Qing arranged for Eunuch Hou to inform Chen Pingping to come back and start contacting Fan Xian, but secretly, Emperor Qing also sent a group of people to prepare for the plan to assassinate Zhou Ming!
Although even Zhou Ming's people don't know where they are at this time, as long as the preliminary preparations are done at this time, when he appears, it will be the time of death!
At night, undercurrents surged in the capital, but these had nothing to do with Lin Chen. In an empty room, he slept peacefully.

With Lin Chen's strength, it is too easy to hide himself in a city as big as Kyoto.

The next day, after practicing in the morning, Lin Chen went to the Chungui noodle stall in the south of the city.

This is the place he agreed with Fan Xian, and he would come here every day at [-]:[-] noon to have a look, if Fan Xian had something to do, he would wait here, and if not, he would not use it.

Originally, Lin Chen thought, this is only the first day, so he probably won't come.

But what surprised him was that Fan Xian was actually sitting at the booth eating noodles, and opposite him, Teng Zijing was also eating.

This is interesting, I just found it in a day, did something happen?
Thinking about it, Lin Chen, who had changed into a brand new outfit, passed by the noodle stall normally, and when he got close to Fan Xian, he said something to him.

"Go ahead after eating, turn right at the third street, I'll wait for you there."

Lin Chen has already achieved a small amount of lion's roar skill, and he can use it casually with a simple sound transmission into his ears.

Fan Xian was also clever, and when he heard the voice, he didn't feel the slightest difference. After eating with Teng Zijing, he naturally walked towards the place just mentioned.

This was a deserted alley. After the two walked in, they saw Lin Chen in a yard with an open gate.

"The spies around were all knocked out by me, and they won't wake up within an hour. If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Not talking nonsense, Fan Xian cut straight to the point, "Brother Zhou, we have found a new clue about the assassination on Niulan Street. It was Teng Zijing's son who said it."

"Teng Zijing's son?" Lin Chen was taken aback.

"These are not important." Fan Xian continued: "We found the token of the Northern Qi spy in a courtyard, and then Wang Qinian told me that the former general also had an affair with the Northern Qi."

"Combining with what happened in Zuixianju last time, I suspect that this Si Lili may also be a Northern Qi spy, and this assassination must have something to do with her!"

"Si Lili? The one who was still beautiful last time?" Lin Chen was somewhat impressed.

"Yes, that's the one, the oiran of Zuixianju."

"Have you caught it?" Lin Chen asked.

"That's the problem. We went to Zuixianju to inquire about it just now. Just yesterday afternoon, Miss Si Lili's boat was burned, and her people also left!"

"It means that the person has already run away, so there is no need to catch him?" Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Si Lili left yesterday, and since the other party is running away, he will definitely rush on overnight!

This night's itinerary, if it was a fast horse without stopping, at least ran hundreds of kilometers.

In the case of unclear direction, this range is a bit large!It can be said clearly that if there is no superpower to arrest, this Si Lili will be completely out of reach.

Fan Xian obviously knew this.

"If you catch it, the few of us won't be able to catch it. If you can use the power of the Forensic Inspection Institute, you still have a chance!"

"However, I am only a commissioner with no real power. The people in the inspection institute will not be used by me at all. The only person I can use now is Wang Qinian."

"He told me that he is a master tracker, and it will take a certain amount of time. He should be able to catch her. But the problem is that the Inspection Institute is also arresting her now, and we can't be faster than them!"

"Can't you directly mention someone as a commissioner?" Lin Chen asked.

In fact, Si Lili herself is not important, what is important is the news from her mouth.

The Niulan Street assassination must have something to do with her, and the token was most likely taken from her, so she must know the person behind it!
So this news, they need to know!
"This won't work. Si Lili is a spy of the Northern Qi Dynasty. In addition, Cheng Jushu was assassinated before him. This has already risen to the level of state affairs. I have no right to mention anyone!"

"Then just grab it when the time comes!" Lin Chen asked, "Is there a way for you to know Si Lili's itinerary after he is arrested by the Inspection Institute?"

"There should be nothing to do with this." If Si Lili was caught, his itinerary would definitely be top secret, and only a few people would know about it.

And Fan Xian's words are definitely not among these few. As for Wang Qinian, of course he doesn't know.

"So we still have to find it by ourselves." Lin Chen sighed, "Go and call that tracking master Wang Qinian over, I'll wait for you here."
