Jiaochu

Chapter 495 Mysterious Man

On the other side, after it got dark, Yan Fei arrived at the Huxin Pavilion. After waiting for a while, Mo turned around and showed up. He asked him who he learned Qing Kung from. Yan Fei didn't have time to say anything and asked him directly if he knew. Knowing Xi Niang's life experience, don't turn around and ask him what he knows. Yan Fei reveals that Xi Niang is the daughter of the former governor of Qingzhou.

Mo turned around and looked surprised. Yan Fei's heart sank, and he knew from the other party's reaction that this was true.

Yan Fei then asked the second question, what was Xi Niang's purpose in approaching Yan Jiang? Mo turned back and was angry when he heard this, and defended Xi Niang. He said that his junior sister was blind to find such an in-law, and scolded both his uncle and nephew. He has a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs. He doesn't know how to be grateful at all, and his conscience goes into the dog's belly.

After the other party calmed down, Yan Fei said: "The reason why Third Aunt left without saying goodbye is because someone knew the secret and wanted to threaten Third Aunt." Mo turned around and said, "It's impossible, no one will know except Master." Yan Fei asked, "Who is the master of my predecessor?" Mo turned around and said angrily, "What do you mean, you dare to doubt the ancestor?"

Yan Fei changed the question and asked if the other person had been in the capital in the past few months. Mo Hui Hui said angrily. Yan Fei asked him if he had seen any strangers come to see his third aunt. Mo Hui Hui looked angrily. He snorted and said one thing.

About a month ago, Yanjiang happened to be away that day. He came to visit and helped feed the chickens and pick up water, and then went out to buy groceries with Xi Niang.

After the two of them arrived on the street, a little beggar ran over and handed a letter to Xi Niang and then ran away. He caught up with the little beggar and spent two coins to find out whether the person who wrote the letter was a man or a woman.

The little beggar said that the man who asked him to deliver the letter was a man, about forty, with a sinister and scary face. He was in the restaurant in front of him. He was called up and gave him the letter and a silver coin, and stood there. The window pointed him to a person on the street and asked him to deliver the letter to him.

After letting the little beggar go, he went to the restaurant to inquire about it. When he came back, he found that Xi Niang was missing. He searched around the street, wondering if she had gone home first. When he came back, he found that she had indeed come back. , he asked Xi Niang what was written in the letter, but Xi Niang said it was nothing and changed the subject. He felt something was not right and it was hard to ask more questions.

The next day, he was worried and came to visit again. He saw that the doors were closed, but he could hear someone in the room. He called out to Junior Sister through the window. Xi Niang said that she wanted to be alone for a while. He felt that the two of them were After the quarrel, I felt a little gloating, so I sat nearby, wanting to see the beautiful scene of Yanjiang being scolded bloody after he came back.

When it got dark and Yan Jiang hadn't come back yet, Xi Niang left with her baggage on her back. He quickly stopped her and asked her where she was going. She said she wanted to think it over alone and wouldn't let him follow her.

He knew his junior sister's temper. Once he made a decision, even Nine Niu couldn't bring him back. He couldn't keep his junior sister, so he went to Yanjiang to settle the score. In the end, he found someone in Zixue Pavilion, and he was very drunk. He was caught and scolded all over his face.

Hearing that Xi Niang was gone, Yanjiang woke up immediately and rushed to the city gate. However, it was late at night and the city gate was closed. He rushed to the palace again, asked for Ye Lanchen's handwriting, and took ten dragons with him. The Shadow Guard is out of town.

"Now you know, your third uncle is a heartless man, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot," Yan Fei interrupted him and asked him if he knew who the person who asked the little beggar to deliver the letter was. Mo turned around and snorted angrily. After checking his nose, he still told Yan Fei who he was.

Yan Fei looked slightly surprised, it was Qin Min. He thought about some of the previous things, and his expression became a bit gloomy.

Mo turned back and said that if Yanjiang didn't get his junior sister back, he would let the whole world know that Yanjiang was a heartless man. He left these two words and flew away using Qinggong.

Later, Yan Fei went to the Qin Mansion. The other party asked people to bring the little beggar into the restaurant, which was bound to attract attention. Since he deliberately exposed his identity, the purpose was to get people to come to the door. In this case, he went to see what the other party was selling in the gourd. What medicine. The door of the Qin Mansion was still open, as if waiting for someone to come to the door. The boy guarding the door went in and announced, and then the housekeeper came and led Yan Fei in.

After bringing the person to Qin Min, the housekeeper withdrew. Qin Min deliberately asked Yan Fei what he wanted to do. Yan Fei asked him if he had someone send a letter to his third aunt. Qin Min said that it seemed that he had. When Yan Fei asked him what was written in the letter, Qin Yin smiled and said, "What is written is not important. What is important is where the person is."

Yanfei's face darkened and he said, "No matter where they are, Longying Guard will find the person." Qin Yin said, "I'm just afraid that it will be too late by then." Before he finished speaking, a dagger was placed across his neck. , in the sharp sword light was a pair of eyes as cold and solemn as cold stars. Yan Fei's attack was so fast that he didn't even realize how fast he was. Qin Min was also startled for a moment. He didn't expect Yan Fei's skills to be so fast. Then he smiled and said, "It's useless for you to kill me, I'm not here."

Yan Fei put away the dagger and was about to leave. As soon as he turned around, he ducked sideways and engaged Qin Min. After a few moves, Qin Min stopped before he could gain the upper hand. He said that good birds choose trees to roost, and let Yanfei should think carefully about the future and don't fall into the wrong team.

Yan Fei asked him which team he was on. Qin Min said that he was on the side of the winner and the loser. Naturally, he was on the side of the former. He casually mentioned that the wine in Prince Ning's house was good, and deliberately revealed that he was on the side of His Highness Ye Qingran. , I don’t know if it’s true or false. Yan Fei had no intention of getting involved in the struggle for the throne, and believed that the two highnesses would not kill each other. He had no intention of saying anything more. When he was about to leave, he heard Qin Min say, "It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves if you guard against them day and night."

Yan Fei ignored it and left the Qin Mansion.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, the night was already very deep. The sound of the watchman's gong came from outside the wall. It was already the third watch. Yan Fei looked at the cold moon in the sky, cleared his thoughts, and returned to his residence. .

The next day before dawn, he went out again. On the way back, he happened to meet his grandfather and his second uncle coming back from the court. The three of them came back together. Later, Yan Fei found his second uncle alone and said that he was currently investigating a case. Maybe It was related to the killer he met on the way back from transporting iron ore. He asked his second uncle if he still remembered the situation at that time.

Yancheng thought about it for a while and said that he could not remember the specific situation. He only remembered that the killers at that time were fierce and well-trained. They were by no means ordinary people. If it were not for the help of Xiao Mansion's guards, it would be difficult to escape.

"After the only surviving survivor was escorted back, the other party sent people to silence him, and the clues were cut off." Speaking of this, Yan Fei paused, "As for the person behind the scenes, does the second uncle have any doubts in his mind?"

Yancheng hesitated slightly and said: "There is no one in the imperial court or in the military camp who does not make enemies. They are just making trouble behind his back to stir up trouble in front of the emperor. I am afraid there are no ones who really want to put people to death. Most of them are those from the previous court." The remnants are back again.”

Yan Fei thought for a moment, paused, and said with a hint of probing: "What do you think, Second Uncle, of General Qin?"

Yan Fei was already 70% certain that Qin Min was the mysterious person back then. Those killers involved the Yangshengtang and the former governor, and the Yangshengtang implicated Wu Peng. If the other party was really the mysterious person, he probably had nothing to do with the previous dynasty. It has nothing to do with it. The disappearance of his third uncle must have something to do with the other party. Finding out the true identity of the other party is the key. The other party had previously instigated him to be wary of his second uncle. Yesterday, he said that it was difficult to guard against thieves. He suspected that there was something going on between the two. No. I wanted to ask directly, so I changed the question to a more tactful one.

Yancheng frowned slightly, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes, as if he had some hatred for Qin Min. He calmed down and asked Yanfei why he asked about the other party. Seeing that he was inconvenient to explain the reason, Yancheng did not ask to the end, and simply made a few comments, saying that Qin Min was very utilitarian and was definitely not a person to be sympathized with, implying that Yanfei should be wary of him to prevent him from stabbing him in the back.

Yanfei nodded in agreement, thanked his second uncle and prepared to leave. Yancheng asked about Yanjiang, saying that Yanjiang had not come to visit General Yan for a month. In the past, even if he went on a mission abroad, he would go home first. He said that he was worried that the other party was in trouble. Yan Fei hesitated and said that the incident might have happened suddenly. His third uncle didn't have time to go home to say something, so Yan Cheng didn't ask any questions.

After leaving his second uncle's residence, Yan Fei went out again. Although he had no intention of participating in the battle for the throne, it was still necessary to warn His Highness Ye Qingran about Qin Min.
