The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 126
After half a cup of tea.

I found an empty official road and looked out, except for the mountains in the distance, there was no obstacle.

Those who can work in the yamen are all very clever, and the three fat men deliberately stay far away.

Li Buyan, Zhu Qing, and Huang Qi each walked to a high ground to observe the situation around the official road.

The remaining three people all had frost on their faces.

No one spoke, they were all shocked by the thrilling scene just now.

Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao have been following the emperor's grandson these years and have encountered many dangers.

However, I have never encountered such an unexpected and unreasonable danger like today.

Pei Xiao's eyes were blank, "What do you two think?"

Xie Zhifei looked at Yan Sanhe's pale face and said, "He must be here for us."

Yan Sanhe didn't say anything, but Pei Xiao said in a hoarse voice: "We don't have any grudges with anyone here."

"well said."

Xie Zhifei raised his voice: "So, who are these people? Why did they kill us? Why did they suddenly retreat in the end?"

A series of three questions tortured the souls of the three people like whips.

No one can answer.

Xie Zhifei: "Yan Sanhe, we have to analyze it."

"Correct!"

Pei Xiao looked serious, "If we can't analyze it, we can't move forward. We don't know how many ambushes and killers are ahead."

"Here, analyze."

Yan Sanhe is used to asking questions to find out the truth bit by bit.

"Xie Zhifei, what is our purpose here?"

"Change Mrs. Ji's thoughts and demons."

"Everything was fine up front, but why did trouble start as soon as we crossed Beicang Bridge and entered the territory of Daqi?"

Xie Zhifei looked into Yan Sanhe's eyes, which were as deep as a dream, and remained silent for a long time.

He thought about this question over and over again, but had no answer.

Yan Sanhe glanced away and looked at Pei Xiao, "What do you mean?"

Pei Xiao gritted his teeth and said nothing. After a while, he stretched out his toes and touched Xie Zhifei's gently.

Xie Zhifei knew what he meant——

Could he be from the capital?

Could he be from the King of Han?

The King of Han was good at fighting and the art of war, and he did indeed raise a group of dead soldiers behind him, but...

No motive!

They are not the prince or the grandson of the emperor. Even if they die hundreds of times, they will not make any change to the country.

Xie Zhifei shook his head very firmly.

After excluding the one in Beijing, Pei Xiao's guess became bolder, "Is there someone who doesn't want us to find Wu Guanyue?"

"Who?"

Yan Sanhe's eyes lit up, "Who doesn't want us to find Wu Guanyue?"

Xie Zhifei frowned, "Only Wu Guanyue himself, or his descendants, don't want us to find him. Other than that, there is no second choice."

Pei Xiao pondered: "Only a high-ranking and powerful person can afford a killer with such skill. It must be Wu Guanyue and his son."

Yan Sanhe took a breath and asked again.

"When we came to Nanning Mansion, no one knew our true purpose. We went to Hujia Village under the guise of visiting the old lady's ancestral home, right?"

Xie Zhifei: "Yes!"

Pei smiled: "Yes!"

Yan Sanhe: "We have been safe and sound for eleven days since we entered Nanning Mansion. Everything went smoothly until today, right?"

Xie Zhifei: "Yes!"

Pei smiled: "Yes!"

Yan Sanhe: "Other than the six of us, who knows the purpose of our trip?"

Pei Xiao: "There are only two groups of people who know about our departure today. One group is from the Guanyin Temple; the other group is the Nanning Prefecture Magistrate's Yamen."

Xie Zhifei: "We stayed in front of the government office for less than half an hour." Pei smiled: "Then there is only one possibility left."

At this point, Yan Sanhe made the final decision, "So that means it is very possible that Wu Guanyue and his son are hiding in the temple?"

Xie Zhifei's voice trembled slightly, "There are many monks in the temple, some are registered and some are not. If you really want to hide someone, it is not difficult."

This time Pei Xiao had a different opinion, "I have a doubt."

Xie Zhifei: "You say."

Pei Xiao: "We settled in the temple. If they really want to kill us, they can do it in the food. Why make a big fuss about it?"

Xie Zhifei looked at him, "Because you, Mr. Pei, are here."

Pei Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Yup!

there is him.

In the eyes of those bald donkeys, he was sent by the emperor of Beijing to inspect the temples in Guangxi Prefecture. If something happened to him in the temple, the matter would become a big deal.

It's different after crossing the Beicang River.

The people of Daqi are fierce and fierce, and the people are prejudiced against the Chinese.

If something happens to him here, everyone will only think that it is the murder of someone from Da Qi. Other than that, they will not think of other possibilities.

As luck would have it, Li Buyan and the three of them were extremely skilled, and Magistrate Zhou sent them eight guards...

After figuring this out, Pei smiled and said, "I don't have any more doubts. You can continue to analyze."

What else is there to analyze?

Things are already clear.

Yan Sanhe said calmly: "The following is to discuss what we should do?"

"Yan Sanhe, I think this is a good thing."

There was a hint of joy in Xie Zhifei's voice, "You just told me earlier that you wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but the snake came out on its own."

"It's a good thing indeed."

Yan Sanhe nodded, "It proves from another angle that Wu Guanyue and his son are indeed still alive."

Xie Zhifei: "They are hiding next to us, very close to us, or they are spying on us."

Yan Sanhe nodded again: "That's right."

Pei Xiao looked at this and that, "But... you still haven't said, what should we do next?"

Xie Zhifei looked at Yan Sanhe for a long time with an indescribable look, "Yan Sanhe, what do you think we should do?"

let me see!
Gotta think about it!
Yan Sanhe turned around and looked at the green mountains and white clouds in the distance. He was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Instead of looking for a needle in the haystack of Da Qi, I think it's better to seize this clue and find out what's going on."

Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao suddenly looked at her at the same time.

Pei Xiao: "What's dark, what about light?"

Yan Sanhe: "Wu Guanyue and his son are the murderers of the Zheng family's massacre. There must be pictures of them in Nanning Mansion."

Pei Xiao: "What then?"

Yan Sanhe: "With their heads in hand, let Zhu Qing go to Guanyin Zen to investigate secretly. This is a secret."

Pei Xiao: "Where's Ming?"

Yan Sanhe said one word at a time: "Show goodwill to Wu Guanyue and his son."

When Xie Zhifei heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He couldn't wait for Pei Xiao to ask, so he blurted out, "What's the best way to show kindness?"

"Find a way to tell them that we are not Jin Yiwei, nor do we represent the Dahua Imperial Court."

Yan Sanhe: "We don't have any ill intentions towards the father and son, we just want to fulfill the old lady's wish."

Xie Zhifei's face turned blue, "How should I tell them?"

Yan Sanhe slowly turned around and looked at Pei Xiao: "You go."

"I?"

Pei Xiaoxin said, Goddess, are you kidding? I don’t have three heads and six arms, how could it be possible...

An idea suddenly popped into my mind.

Pei Xiao's eyes were as big as frogs, "Yan Sanhe, what do you mean?"
