Chapter 448 Assassination
Now that the matter of corruption has been presented to the emperor, those people behind him must take action.

When Deng Yi came to Yingdu, he was chased and killed all the way, and he didn't know what happened to Deng Junshou.

After He Lingjiang knew what Deng Yi had told him, he made a divination for Deng Junshou. Judging from the current situation, his life was indeed safe.

It's just that the world is changeable, and the fate is also variable. Once the court starts to thoroughly investigate the case, He Lingjiang doesn't fully guarantee whether he will be able to survive the many murders.

Almost immediately, He Lingjiang sent a few people to secretly protect Governor Deng.

"Grandpa, I already sent people from the mansion to go to Shaoyang yesterday. If you arrive, you can ask them to do something."

"Okay." He Xiangshan nodded, "You are really thoughtful."

After the two discussed again, He Xiangshan went to the backyard to say goodbye to Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song has already received He Cheng's message, and has packed all the clothes and supplies he needs to use when going out, and put them in the cage.

Seeing him stepping into the door, he couldn't help asking: "Master Lang, why do you want to go out in such a hurry?"

He Xiangshan patted her hand and said: "There was a corruption case in the court, and the saint ordered me to be in charge of investigating the matter. Now I have to go to Shaoyang. These days, the government will trouble you."

Song Shi nodded: "What to say to bother, this is what a concubine should do."

But this corruption case...

Even though Mrs. Song is a woman from a Taoist family, she knows that this case must involve a lot of people, and it is impossible to say how many dangerous things are involved.

"Can Ling Jiang go on this trip?"

Perhaps Ling Jiang has been involved in major events recently, somehow Song thought that if father and daughter went together, it would be safer and more secure.

He Xiangshan shook his head: "This case belongs to the Yushitai, except for Wu Desi, the sage did not allow others to intervene."

"What's more, there is something wrong with Ling Jiang. The mastermind behind the plague has not been found yet. She has been busy recently."

"It's also a good thing that she is in Yingdu, and she can help me keep an eye on the people in court secretly by the way."

Mrs. Song nodded, her eyes were full of worry: "The Lord Lang is going alone, so you must be more careful."

He Xiangshan smiled, and comforted her: "Don't worry. I have He Cheng with his hands here, nothing will happen, and Wu Desi's people will catch up later."

If under such circumstances, the other party still dared to attack him, then he would have no choice but to praise "What courage!"

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Song, He Xiangshan left the mansion, got into the carriage, and hurried to Shaoyang with his hands.

Standing in front of the gate, He Lingjiang watched the group of people gradually disappear around the corner, his eyes darkened. I don't know who is behind this corruption...

The corruption case can be said to be a stone thrown into the court of Yingdu. As for whether this stone will stir up thousands of waves, or it will remain silent, it depends on whether the truth of the matter can be found out.

Deng Yi had been hunted down a lot all the way to Ying before, and his body was still wounded. According to Qiongzhi, it would be better to take care of him for two days, so he didn't set off with He Xiangshan.

However, when the two days came, he really missed his father Deng Zhi in his heart, so he no longer wanted to rest and recuperate, so he came to bid farewell to He Lingjiang.

"Miss He Qi, since the memorial and account books have been submitted, and the sage has also sent Mr. He to thoroughly investigate the case, it is useless for me to stay in Yingdu, so I will take my leave and go back to Shaoyang."

Knowing that he was worried, He Lingjiang nodded, "I'll send someone to take you back."

Deng Yi waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare to bother Mrs. He Qi anymore, I'll just go back by myself."

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "You were dangerous when you came, although the case has been submitted now, but this time it will be a safe journey back?"

The person who was chasing him behind the back failed to take him down at first, but now it is possible to tie him up and threaten Sheriff Deng to keep silent.

Thinking of all the murderous intentions on the way when he came here, Deng Yi couldn't help being afraid, and bowed his hands to He Lingjiang: "Thank you, Mrs. He Qi."

After packing up and saluting, he disguised himself and left the city secretly with the guards of the He residence.In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he even rented a carriage when he went out of the city.

However, when he arrived at a place with few pedestrians in the suburbs, there was still an accident as He Lingjiang said.

"Zheng!" A sharp arrow shot straight from the forest, straight towards the carriage.

Although the guard driving the car missed the sharp arrow in time, the horse was still startled and neighed.

Immediately afterwards, a group of masked killers rushed towards the carriage with swords.

Deng Yi couldn't help being startled, someone still wanted to attack him!
"Deng Langjun, take care of yourself and don't get out of the car!" the guard said loudly.

Hearing the sound of swords colliding outside and the occasional groans of pain, Deng Yi clenched the dagger at his waist.

The guards who escorted Deng Yi on this trip were all skilled, but they acted in disguise, but there were only a few of them, after all, they couldn't resist the large number of killers.

The killer broke through the protection of the guards and rushed straight to the carriage.

Seeing the killer lift the curtain of the car, the long sword in his hand was about to stab Deng Yi, a cold light flashed suddenly, the killer felt his neck light up, and then fell down the carriage with two "ho ho ho".

"Deng Langjun, are you okay?" The visitor held a long sword and looked at him with bright eyes.

"He... Mrs. He Qi?" Deng Yi couldn't help being surprised, "Why are you here?"

He Lingjiang blinked and smiled slyly: "I'm here to save you." While speaking, she had already carried a long sword in her hand and killed two people in a row.

Following her, He Zheng and Qing Zhu also jumped in front of the carriage, repelling the killers who were about to step forward.

With their joining, the situation suddenly reversed.

The leading masked killer saw that the situation was not right, gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Withdraw!"

After finishing speaking, he plunged into the depths of the forest one after another, and disappeared.

He Zheng raised his body and wanted to catch up, but He Lingjiang stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Forget it, don't chase."

He Zheng understood immediately, thinking that Qiniangzi should have secretly sent Chi Kuo to follow.Following these killers, it might be possible to find some useful clues.

He turned around to look at the killers lying on the ground, and then searched them all over.

It's a pity that these killers are extremely meticulous, and there is nothing on their bodies that can prove their identities.

He shook his head at He Lingjiang.

He Lingjiang was not disappointed either, she jumped into the carriage and looked at Deng Yi: "Look, I said Deng Langjun's trip might not be safe."

Deng Yi also understood now: "Miss He Qi intends to lure these killers here?"

No wonder she showed up so timely.

Back then when He Xiangshan was impeached for corruption, the people in the court knew of his existence, they only thought that he was seriously injured and would have to recuperate in the He residence for a while.

Two days later, he disguised himself and went out in secret, so he would not be targeted unless the He family deliberately revealed his whereabouts.
