The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 567: Enemy or Friend
Soon, there was movement outside the courtyard, and the other guards in Shenhou Mansion quickly gathered in front of Gao Jun.

The study in the backyard was only separated from the courtyard where Jin Yiwei was resting by Gao Jun's residence, so upon hearing Gao Jun's voice, the resting Jin Yiwei put on his outer robe and gathered in front of Gao Jun.

Gao Jun roughly glanced at the Jin Yiwei who were standing in front of him.

"There are still two people missing." Gao Jun said aloud: "Scatter around, search the mansion carefully, and make sure there are no omissions."

"Yes!" All Jin Yiwei responded.

Xuan Shijing in the study walked to the solid wood screen, and pulled out the sharp arrow stuck on the screen with force.

There was a piece of letter paper inserted on the sharp arrow. When Xuan Shijing saw the letter paper, he knew that the mysterious man who came to the Shenhou Mansion did not have any malice towards him. If he wanted to take his life, the arrow just now would directly kill him. Just come for yourself.

To escape the patrol of the Jin Yiwei and come to the study of the Shenhou Mansion, how could the skill be poor.

Xuan Shijing unfolded the letter paper in his hand and browsed it carefully.

"Xuanhou, what is written in this letter? Who put it in?" Fang Yiai leaned forward and asked.

Xuan Shijing handed the finished letter to Fang Yiai.

"Wang Jingzhi secretly met with the Zheng family in his outer house. Those assassins were supported by the Zheng family, and the action was instructed by Wang Jingzhi. The Lu family did not participate in this incident. As for who wrote this letter , I don’t know either, thinking about being able to tell us these things, it’s a friend rather than an enemy.” Xuan Shijing said.

"Xuanhou thinks that what is said in this letter is credible?" Fang Yiai asked suspiciously: "The only one out of the three great families is the Lu family, could it be a member of the Lu family?"

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "These things are unknown for the time being, but judging from the news reported by the spies sent by our Shenhou Mansion, the information in this letter is still [-]% reliable."

"Who could be helping us in secret?" Fang Yiai became more puzzled the more she thought about it.

At this moment, Gao Jun, who had just chased him out, returned to the study.

"How is it, is there any trace?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"No, when I chased him out, there was only one figure in the yard. There was no movement at all, and there was no trace to be found. The two Jinyi guards who were patrolling the study yard at night in Fuzhong were knocked out and dragged into the grass. The people who came here were very skillful. "

"Forget it, anyway, there is no malice towards us, so don't pay attention to it for the time being." Xuan Shijing said.

Since the other party is helping him secretly, it means that the other party's identity is not convenient to show up, and there is no need to investigate further. If his identity is found out by the Zheng family and the Wang family, it will be troublesome for them.

Now everyone in the Shenhou Mansion is investigating the assassination of their own mother, and they can't do anything else.

The side of the Shenhou Mansion continued to make noise until midnight, and then they went back to their rooms to unload.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Shijing had just had breakfast in the hall of Shenhou Mansion when the doorman outside came to report that a young man named Marshal Zhao came to Shenhou Mansion with a woman and wanted to meet Xuan Shijing. Shijing.

Xuan Shijing asked the concierge to bring Marshal Zhao in. As for the woman brought by Marshal Zhao, Xuan Shijing didn't care much. Marshal Zhao's official career was in his own hands, so he wouldn't be so nonsense if he thought about it. Uncertainty brought irrelevant people to Shenhou Mansion.

After ordering the servants to clean up all the food in the hall, Xuan Shijing sat on the first seat and made himself a cup of hot tea.

"Grassman Marshal Zhao, I have met Xuanhou." Marshal Zhao arrived at the front hall of Shenhou Mansion, bowed his hands and bowed to Xuan Shijing.

"Don't be polite, who is this next to you?" Xuan Shijing looked at Jiang Muqing who was standing beside Marshal Zhao.

"Minister Jiang Muqing, pay my respects to Lord Hou." Jiang Muqing also imitated Marshal Zhao, bowing her hands to Xuan Shijing.

"Master Hou, this is my cousin. Today I came to Shenhou Mansion to look for Lord Hou. Firstly, I came to ask Lord Hou about Xiaomin's confession. Secondly, I also have important matters to report to Lord Hou." Marshal Zhao Said.

Hearing Marshal Zhao say about his confession, Xuan Shijing remembered that it had been several days since Marshal Zhao's confession was brought back from Li Tai, but he forgot about it these two days, and he never talked to Marshal Zhao. explain.

"Oh, your confession has already been brought back. I will let Gao Jun bring it to you in a while. From tomorrow onwards, I will come to the Shenhou Mansion to take up a job. For you, although we have met before, I will tell you what you can do for a while." People really can't tell, you should stay with the head of the room, Shi, for the next two days, get acquainted with the Shenhou Mansion, learn more, and after a while, I will formally assign you a job, as for the salary."

"Master Hou. It is already a great kindness for you to revise and sue me. Don't worry, Lord Hou. I don't want a salary. I don't need the money." Marshal Zhao said.

Xuan Shijing smiled and shook his head: "It's different, Marshal Zhao, if your family has money, it belongs to your family. Your salary in the Shenhou Mansion will be paid normally, and you can take it when it is given to you. You alone Men, you can't always rely on your home, you have to be able to eat when you leave home, right?"

"That's right, big cousin, what Xuan Hou said is so true, why don't you take the money if you have money." Jiang Muqing stood aside and pushed Marshal Zhao and smiled.

"That's fine." Marshal Zhao blushed and agreed.

It seems that since I was a child, I have been eating and drinking at home
"What about the important thing you are talking about?" Xuan Shijing asked after taking a sip of tea, looking at the two of them.

"Master Hou, I wanted to come to Shenhou Mansion yesterday to ask Lord Hou about my confession. When I went out, I saw Wang Jingzhi. Out of curiosity, I followed him, and then I followed all the way to Buzhengfang. In a house, my cousin went into that house and secretly overheard Wang Jingzhi and members of the Zheng family talking in the front hall of the house." Marshal Zhao said.

"Oh? What did they say?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Unexpectedly, Marshal Zhao and his cousin also went to that mansion. Just in time, we can compare whether it is the same as what was said on the letter paper last night. If it is the same, Xuan Shijing can rest assured that the person who came last night wanted to If the person who helped him was different, then the person who helped him last night, nine out of ten, probably had ulterior motives.

"Little cousin, tell Lord Hou everything you heard yesterday." Marshal Zhao turned his head and said to Jiang Muqing.

"En." Jiang Muqing nodded, and then told Xuan Shijing how she found Wang Jingzhi yesterday, how she followed Wang Jing to Buzheng Fang, and then turned into someone's house and hid under the window.

While Xuan Shijing was listening, a stone in her heart gradually fell down.

What Jiang Muqing said was exactly the same as what Xuan Shijing read in the letter last night.
