The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 104 Assassination
"Girl, it's getting late, it's time to rest. Aren't you going to Ping'an Street tomorrow to buy lanterns for the old lady?"

Xiaoxi saw that Chi Zheng had left for more than half an hour, but Lu Wanlan was still sitting on the porch in a daze.

Don't even think about it, the girl must be feeling sad because during the day, the masters said that the prince wants to get married.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days. In the past, the girls would celebrate the festival happily in the Dingguo Mansion, but this year, they will be bound by the red tape in the palace. The prince is still like this... It's really hard for the girl."

Seeing the grievance on Xiaoxi's face, Lu Wanlan smiled casually.The blue hair hangs loosely behind the ears, letting the wind mess it up and not caring about it, showing a trace of laziness in the free and easy way.

"Go to sleep first, I'll wait for Chi Zheng later."

She tightened the brocade cloak on her body, and casually played with the firecracker that her sixth brother Lu Yunce had forgotten here.

"Is this Liu Ye's firecracker?"

Xiaoxi saw at a glance that the inscription engraved on the firecracker was Lu Yunce's name.

It was only after she said this that Lu Wanlan noticed this detail.

This firecracker was what Lu Yunce carried with him when he escaped from Yuwang Wolf Fort, so it must belong to Xiao Yihan.

At that time, she saw those boxes of firecrackers, all of which were recorded in the register, and thought they were borrowed from the Shenji Camp, but looking at it now, it looks more like it was forged from the military register and then forged.

In this way, wouldn't Xiao Yihan be able to justifiably receive firecrackers and ammunition, and even pay for nothing?
but……

There was one detail that she didn't understand.

If that's the case, then why did Xiao Yihan lock his elder brothers in the room where the firecrackers are kept?And why are these firecrackers engraved with the names of the brothers?

Seeing her girl holding this thing and not talking, Xiaoxi raised her hand to touch the copper gun body, and said with dancing:
"Sixth Master is really amazing! If you go out with it, girl, you don't need to report your name, and if you show this guy, you will know that we are not easy to mess with!"

As soon as the words were finished, Lu Wanlan suddenly let go of the handle of the blunderbuss, and the blunderbuss hit the bluestone steps with a "clang".

The mosquitoes that were still singing softly in the shadows of the flowers and trees just now became silent in an instant.

She stood up abruptly, with an incredible light in her eyes.

So it turned out that Xiao Yihan wanted to kill Xiao Yanzhi, and then blame his brothers.

How could this be? !

Hasn't he always been in love with his eldest brother?

"What's wrong with the girl?"

Seeing that her expression changed suddenly, Xiaoxi was blaming herself for saying something wrong, but she saw Lu Wanlan walking towards Xiao Yanzhi's study with the firecracker in hand.

There was no one to handle the door, and Huo Di pushed it open.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't seem to be there, she thought that since they were all here, it would be better to wait.

So he sat in the grand teacher's chair by the window, while looking at the furnishings in the room, while thinking about how to tell Xiao Yanzhi what he found later.

It has to be said that although Xiao Yanzhi is a poor prince, he can be as small as a stove and as large as a screen and bookshelf. Although it looks a bit old-fashioned, it exudes a natural and calm atmosphere.

Especially the Wood Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi placed behind his long table is a rare and top-quality agarwood.

Very tasteful!
Following this ornament, she extended her gaze to the long table in front of her. Seeing that the pen and ink were all ready, Lu Wanlan thought that she might as well take advantage of this interval to silence the list of firecrackers in her mind, so as to save herself the trouble of thinking about it.

He raised his hand to pick up the ink ingot, but accidentally bumped into a bronze incense burner next to it.

It's still a little hot to the touch.

When I opened the lid, there was black ashes inside, as if something had just been burned.She used the pen holder to gently remove the top layer of powder, and the paper was already unrecognizable, but the sealant at the bottom was not completely melted, leaving only one corner lying there.

Thanks……

After thinking for a while, she still couldn't figure out who from the Xie family asked Xiao Yanzhi to go to the appointment.

Walking to the door, he asked Xiaoxi: "Did you see when the prince drove out of the mansion?"

Xiaoxi shook her head: "Girl, isn't the prince always in the study?"

I have an appointment with someone, and it is very likely that it is a member of the Xie family, and I will leave quietly without taking a carriage. So, do I need to go alone to the meeting place?

Lu Wanlan frowned slightly, where could it be?
Putting down the wax in her hand, she picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, and moved slowly with her wrist. The detailed registration information of more than a dozen firecrackers had already appeared on the paper.

At this time, it was late at night in the capital city. Due to various bizarre cases in the past few days, the whole city had been under curfew since Xu time. Apart from the patrolling guards, occasionally there would be a few government carriages passing by Ping'an Street.

The sound of neat boots was stamped rhythmically on the bluestone road, and the torches in their hands illuminated every corner like daylight.

It was a different scene in the squad room in the east of the city. More than a dozen soldiers were surrounding the copper pot, throwing the fat mutton cut into half-clouds into the oily red soup. The juice rises and falls.

Another team of soldiers who were changing shifts happened to come in, and the smell of the whole room was full of halazi.Apart from anything else, after drinking two sips of shochu, they gathered together, laughing and waiting.

Seeing that the meat was about to be cooked, I was about to pick up a chopstick.

But suddenly I heard the sound of a knife chopping a watermelon on the road outside!

Then there was the mournful neighing of the horse, which was particularly creepy in this dark night.

The two guards picked up the guy and rushed out. Just two steps away, they saw a black ball coming from the carriage, and the oily liquid dripped all over the ground, mixed with foam.

"This is?"

The leader raised the torch and took a picture of the blood-stained carriage: "This is just from Shuntian Mansion, please report!"

Other soldiers quickly protected the scene of the crime.

In the midst of this chaos, a slender figure on the roof hesitated and flashed into the criss-crossing streets and alleys.

The moon is as cool as water, sprinkling silver light all over the garden.

After thinking about it, Lu Wanlan only wrote about twenty or so items that were not very detailed, but they were still clues.Just as he put down the pen, he heard the sound outside the door.

Chi Zheng's tone was obviously a little hurried: "Girl, the young minister of Dali Temple was decapitated just now at the door of his house."

"What's going on?" Lu Wanlan called her in, and continued to ask, "Who actually assassinated the imperial court official at the root of the imperial city?"

"I don't know who the murderer is. This subordinate originally wanted to go to the south of the city to find out what happened to the Seventh Department of Danba, and then find out the details of the princess. Seeing that Earth Bone Theory Hailing was sneaking around, I chased him all the way to the east of the city. "

"Why did she appear in the east of the city again? Then?"

"Later in Shuntian Mansion, the subordinates lost him." Chi Zheng was a little embarrassed, "It can be seen that Master Fu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was conducting an autopsy on Li Aotang with Wu Zuozheng, so the subordinates watched for a while."

Hearing what Chi Zheng said, Lu Wanlan seemed to understand why the young minister of Dali Temple died in Huangquan today: "Li Aotang's death is strange, Master Fu must have discovered something wrong?"

Chi Zheng shook his head: "This subordinate didn't hear it."

After a brief silence, Lu Wanlan asked Chi Zheng to go outside to guard.

She was packing up her brush and ink, her thoughts had already flown out of the blue sky, when suddenly a black shadow rushed over beside her.

Before she could see the appearance of the person coming, the person snatched the stack of papers she had written with great difficulty and threw it into the stove.

"Xiao Yanzhi? What are you doing?"

"If the princess wants to live, it's best not to mention a word of these things!"
