Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 443 Xue Yuan's Choice and Zhou Yin's Self-rescue

"Okay, get up, I know you're awake." Xie Wei said directly
"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide anything from you, sir. I wonder if you brought me here because you have something to tell me?" Xue Dingfei said with a smile.

"Huh, shouldn't I be the one asking you this? What are you doing here?" Xie Wei asked back
"Sir, the Yan family has fallen, so the prince asked me to come here to help you bring down the Xue family as well. Then the prince's great cause will not be in vain." Xue Dingfei said

"No, is there anything else you haven't told me? Do you think you can hide it from me?" Xie Wei said
"Sir, I, I, I better tell the truth. Because Gong Yicheng has not returned, the prince is a little suspicious, so he asked me to come."

"And this time he not only sent me here, he also sent someone else behind him, probably to investigate the disappearance of Gong Yicheng." Xue Dingfei said hurriedly

"Haha, interesting, really interesting, but since you are here, why don't you come to me first? Don't tell me you can't help it."

"Jian Shu told me that you have been here for some time." Xie Wei said
"Hey, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not afraid. So?" Xue Dingfei said

"Humph, you haven't changed at all, but you've lived under the name of Schrodinger for so long and have had such a good life for so many years. Do you think you can get away with it this time?"

"Even if I don't look for you, do you think the prince will let you go?" Xie Wei said
"Well, I haven't thought about it that much. Sir, don't you know me? I always live one day at a time. If one day I can't live anymore, I'll talk about it then." Xue Dingfei said

"Haha, that's enough, go down and get ready, it's time for you to go back too." Xie Wei said
After hearing this, Xue Dingfei's face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still stood up obediently and said, "Yes, I understand, sir. I will prepare well."

After hearing this, Xie Wei nodded, then winked at Jian Shu. He waited until they all left before thinking about the next plan.

Now the prince has already suspected Gong Yicheng. If he sends someone over, the matter won't be concealed for long, and we'll be in trouble.

Now that the Yan family has fallen, the prince has not yet doubted himself, but once Gong Yicheng's affairs are exposed, all the preparations he had made before will be in vain.

So we have to find a way, but what should we do?

At this moment, Xue Yuan was still considering how to deal with Shen Jie. Yes, he really planned to get rid of Shen Jie.

The reason is very simple, because from the day when His Majesty broke off relations, he has not had much time left. After all, the Yan family has collapsed now, and he is useless.

If he were in other people's shoes, now would be the best time to deal with himself, so he doesn't have much time. But the problem now is that he can't succeed relying solely on Xingwuwei.

Therefore, he must get Cao Cheng's support, and this means that Shen Jie must be dealt with. Things have now come to this point, which makes him very embarrassed.

After all, from his heart, he really didn't want to take this step. After all, doing everything according to plan and smoothly supporting the puppet Shen Jie to ascend the throne was the best option for him.

But now there is no chance, he has no time to wait any longer, he must make a decision, and the decision he has to make is naturally to give up Shen Jie.

Who let Cao Cheng have soldiers? I need those soldiers to help me.

The question now is, how should I deal with Shen Jie? After all, everyone in the capital now thinks that I should support Shen Jie.

At times like this, although some things are convenient to do, it also means that he has no one to use for some things. After all, he has to support Shen Jie.

There are some things he cannot do, and even if he does, he cannot let others know, which means that he must have his confidants do it.

But he couldn't send his trusted aides over, because once they went, he would definitely not leave any of them alive. He was a little reluctant, after all, he still needed manpower to control the Xingwu Guard.

Finally, after much thought, he decided to find someone to do this. As for whether the secret would be leaked? Now the whole world knows that he wants to support Shen Jie to take the position. How could he kill him?

As he thought of this, he remembered someone, and soon Zhou Yinzhi arrived.

"I am Zhou Yinzhi, your humble servant, and I am here to pay my respects to you, sir." When Zhou Yinzhi entered the study, he naturally hurried to greet her.

"Get up. You did a good job last time. I am very satisfied. So this time I have another task for you to do. How about it? Do you want to go?" Xue Yuan asked.

"Sir, I am honored that you have taken a liking to me. Of course I am willing to go. Please give me your orders and I will definitely get it done." Zhou Yinzhi said firmly.
"Haha, OK, well said. Listen carefully. I want you to kill King Linzi. What do you think? Are you still willing to go? If not, just say so." Xue Yuan said directly.
Zhou Yinzhi had already prepared himself, but when he actually heard the mission, he was speechless for a while.

If he hadn't been a bit cunning, he would have been unable to resist asking by now.

But at this moment he was in a very difficult situation, because no matter whether this matter could be done well or not, he would have absolutely no way to survive. No matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would only have a dead end.

As for refusing? If he dared to refuse, he would die right here and now. As for the crime, it was naturally the intention to assassinate.

Because he had thought of all this, he didn't know how to start talking for a moment. Xue Yuan obviously didn't want to let him go, so he asked directly, "Tell me? What do you think?"

"My Lord, I promise to complete the task. However, my Lord, the Prince of Linzi is my young lady's husband after all. What if my young lady blocks me?" Zhou Yinzhi said.

"Stop? Didn't you understand the mission I gave you? As long as you complete the mission, nothing else matters. Do you understand?" Xue Yuandao
Zhou Yinzhi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He didn't even care about his daughter's life. It seemed that he couldn't escape this time. "Yes, I understand. I will complete the task as soon as possible and will never let you down." Zhou Yinzhi saluted and said

"Haha, okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news here. Now, go down." Xue Yuan said
After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi naturally didn't dare to stay, so he bowed again and then turned around and left the study.

After he left, a mocking smile appeared on Xue Yuan's face.

Zhou Yinzhi came out of the Duke's Mansion and walked towards his home with all his strength. After entering his yard, his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.

This scared his lover, but Zhou Yinzhi did not let her come forward. Instead, he slowly got up by himself. After taking a while, he left again.

That's right, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, he had to find a way, he didn't want to die yet, and at this time, the only person he could think of was Jiang Xue Ning.

"What did you say? Zhou Yinzhi came to see you? Where is he now? Forget it, just tell him directly and ask him to wait there. I'll go there now." Jiang Xuening said

After Jiang Xuening finished speaking, she stood up and walked out. Not long after, she reached the back door. Zhou Yinzhi saw her coming out and quickly knelt down and said, "Second Miss, please save me, Second Miss."

"You, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly, it will be disgraceful if people see you like this. Come in with me quickly, and tell me what you want to say." Jiang Xue Ning said

After hearing this, Zhou Yinzhi slowly stood up, followed Jiang Xuening into the Jiang family, and then came to the front hall. What they didn't know was that Zhou Yinzhi had been under surveillance.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here. Tell me, what happened?" Jiang Xuening asked
"Second Miss, this is what happened. Today, Duke Dingguo suddenly asked me to come over and told me, Second Miss, if this happens, I will definitely die in the end." Zhou Yinzhi said

"What did you say? Xue Yuan asked you to kill Shen Jie? How is this possible? Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows that their Xue family has just married Shen Jie. You?" Jiang Xuening naturally didn't believe it.

"Second Miss, what I said is all true. If there is even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning. Second Miss, how dare I lie to you." Zhou Yinzhi said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening was silent for a while. After all, what Zhou Yinzhi said was too unbelievable. It was not normal at all.

But she couldn't figure out what Zhou Yinzhi was trying to do to her. After all, the Yan family had been abolished and there was nothing that could threaten the Xue family.

As for me? Who am I? Besides, with my adopted sister still around, Xue Jiayin shouldn't do anything to her family.

But if none of these are true, then what is Zhou Yinzhi here for? Is what he said true?
Although she couldn't figure it out, she also knew that now was not the time to think about it. She said directly, "Then you get up first. What you said is really unbelievable."

"I need to think about it carefully. Don't worry. Even if he is serious, I still need time to figure out a solution. Go back and do what you need to do. I will tell you the result in three days."

"Also, don't let other people know that you came to my place, especially the Xue family. If they knew, you would have no chance of survival." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Don't worry, Miss, I understand. I will keep the secret. I will take my leave now. Miss, my life depends on you." Zhou Yinzhi clasped his fists and said

After saying this, Zhou Yinzhi stood up and walked out, and came out soon.

At this time, Jiang Xuening looked at Zhou Yinzhi's departing back with a frown on her face. She was unwilling to believe what Zhou Yinzhi said because it was obviously not in line with common sense.

But Zhou Yinzhi had no reason to come and lie to him at this moment. What else could he be tricked by? Could it be Yan Lin again?
In the end, she still couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking about it. She planned to go to her husband early the next morning to ask him about it.

At this time, Xue Yuan had already received the report from the person who was following him.

"What did you say? Jiang Xue Ning from the Jiang family? Interesting, really interesting." Xue Yuan said
"Master, what should we do now? Should I take some people to capture the person?" the man asked
"Hmm? You still want to arrest people? Don't you know the situation of the Jiang family? Go down." Xue Yuan said
The visitor was disappointed and could only slowly retreat. After he left, a solemn look appeared on Xue Yuan's face.

If this had happened in the past, he would have definitely taken the person back to the Xingwuwei Yamen. Even if it was someone else's family, he would have done the same. But he couldn't touch the Jiang family.

Especially at such a critical moment, I can't move at all. However, it doesn't matter if I can't move, isn't it enough if someone else can move?
Thinking of this, Xue Yuan's doubts disappeared and a smile appeared on his face again.

At this time, Jiang Xuening had no idea that she had been targeted. At this moment, she was sitting in her own carriage, heading to Xie Wei's house.

"What did you say? You said Zhou Yinzhi came to you and said Xue Yuan asked him to kill Shen Jie?" Xie Wei said
"Sir, I know you find it unbelievable. I feel the same way. I didn't believe it at first, but then I thought, Zhou Yinzhi shouldn't lie to me."

"After all, the Yan family has collapsed now. What value do I have? Besides, my sister is now Cao Cheng's concubine. I don't think the Xue family will plot against me." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Well, what you said does make sense, but this incident is really too weird. For a moment, I don't know what to do."

"Well, you can delay Zhou Yinzhi for now. When I come up with a solution, I will let Jianshu find you. You go back first. I need to think about it carefully." Xie Wei said in a deep voice
After hearing this, Jiang Xue Ning knew that things could not be rushed, so she could only return the greeting and then turned and left. After he left, Lu Xian walked out from the dark.

"Xie Ju'an, do you really believe what this girl said? This is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Lu Xian said
"Of course I know it's an exaggeration, but why do you think he lied to me? And why did Zhou Yinzhi lie to her? Besides, what Zhou Yinzhi said may not be impossible." Xie Wei said
"No, Xie Ju'an, you, you really believe it? Then tell me, how is it possible? I want to see what you can say." Lu Xian said
"Your brain, I think you've been thinking about how to pursue women lately and have forgotten to use your brain, right? What else could it be? Of course it's because of Marquis Dingyuan."

"Shen Jie and Marquis Dingyuan are incompatible. Only one of them can have the last laugh. Do you think Shen Jie still has a chance under the current circumstances?" Xie Wei said
"You mean to say that the Xue family is going to give up Shen Jie? Isn't this too much?" Lu Xian said
"Haha, if you think it's an exaggeration, what about others? If Zhou Yinzhi spreads the news, how many people will believe it?" Xie Wei said
"This, you really have to say it. If this is true, then the Xue family's move is really decisive." Lu Xian said with emotion
