Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 575

At noon, a loud noise suddenly came from the huge ship docked on the bank of the Qinhuai River, as if something was blown to pieces.

Sun Meng, who was waiting on the shore, heard the noise and his face changed slightly. He turned around and said to the soldiers, "Follow me in."

The guards outside the ship didn't dare to stop them.

The scholars and ladies on the shore all turned their eyes over, wondering what was going on.

Inside the ship, Qin Hao, who was chatting and laughing with his friends, heard the noise coming from upstairs and felt the strong fluctuation of innate spiritual energy. His face suddenly changed and he hurried upstairs.

By the time he arrived, the door of the private room he had arranged for Chen Mo had been knocked down by the innate spiritual energy, and then he heard a stern shout from inside the room: "How dare you, you daring bitch, poison me and assassinate me."

"Snapped--"

A loud slap was heard, and then Qin Hao saw Zhihua being knocked to the ground.

Qin Hao's face changed drastically.

Before he could react, there was a commotion downstairs.

Then a large number of soldiers rushed upstairs. Sun Meng walked in front. After reaching the third floor, he saw the door of the private room that was shaken down, the overturned tea table in the room, and the woman lying on the ground. Although he didn't know what had happened, he knew that something bad must have happened.

"My Lord." He knelt on one knee in front of Chen Mo, waiting for orders.

"This woman is an assassin. She was about to poison the tea, but luckily I saw through her plan." Chen Mo said.

"What?" Sun Meng's face changed, and he quickly called people in to take it down.

But Chen Mo stopped him and said, "Take your men to seal off Tingxuan Tower first. There may be his accomplices on the ship. Send another person to seal off Huaxiang Tower for me. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If you don't have enough manpower, take my token and go to the barracks of Yulinwei to find Nangong Xian."

Chen Mo took off his token and threw it to Sun Meng.

Qin Hao, who was standing outside the private room, suddenly turned pale.

Poisoning and murdering Duke Anguo!
Qin Hao suddenly felt a chill on his back. He was trying to save his life. How brave must he be?

At the same time, for fear that he would be implicated in this matter, he quickly stepped forward to distance himself from Huaxianglou and Zhihua, hoping to exonerate himself.

After all, the incident happened in Tingxuan Tower.

But Chen Mo asked him to stand still.

Qin Hao's face turned pale, and he hated Zhi Hua who assassinated him.

Outside Tingxuan Tower, a man dressed as a laborer looked at the large number of soldiers surrounding the shore. His expression changed drastically and he quickly left the place.

When he was leaving, a pair of eyes were staring at his back from the window on the third floor of the ship.

the other side.

After receiving the order, Sun Meng immediately sent someone with a token to the Yulinwei barracks outside the city to ask Nangong Xian for troops.

Galloping horses passed through the street, and pedestrians on the road dodged and looked at the soldiers on the horses, wondering what was going on.

In the Huaxiang Building.

Zhao Ping is favoring last year's courtesan.

Last year's courtesan served Zhao Ping while lowering her voice and said, "Master, this time Sister Zhihua has been favored by Duke Anguo, what will we do with the Xiahe Wine Party in the future?"

"It's a simple matter. Just replace him with a prostitute."

As Zhao Ping spoke, he was thinking about having someone deliver Zhihua's indenture contract and some of Zhihua's things from Huaxiang Tower to the Xiao family later.

In this way, he and Chen Mo were also connected.

"Sister Zhihua is so lucky. After going to Guanshan Lake to appreciate the flowers, she was favored by Duke Anguo. If she could become his concubine, she would be like a phoenix flying up the tree." Last year's courtesan said with envy. "She is not lucky, but she has the means." Zhao Ping took a deep breath and patted the millstone of the woman sitting on him, asking her to slow down.

Last year's courtesan didn't understand what Zhao Ping meant and looked at him in confusion.

"The horse that pulled the cart was specially trained and was very docile. How could it be frightened for no reason? And I asked the groom at the time, but he didn't notice anything unusual."

"You mean, this is Zhihua's trick?"

"pretty close."

As he spoke, Zhao Ping sat up abruptly, hugged the woman, and said with his chin tilted: "Look at Zhihua, and then look at you, there is not even anyone who can redeem you."

"I can't bear to leave you, so I want to serve you."

"You are so sweet."

Just when the two were competing most fiercely, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Ping frowned and his face turned cold. Anyone would be unhappy to be disturbed at this time.

"Who is this filthy guy who has no sense of propriety?" Zhao Ping started to curse.

"Master, it's bad. A large group of soldiers suddenly came outside and surrounded our Huaxiang Tower. No one is allowed to enter or leave." said the madam.

"what?!"

Zhao Ping was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately flinched. He pushed the woman away, put on his robe, and walked out of the room without even tying it, saying in a cold voice, "What happened? Where did this soldier come from?"

Everyone in Qinhuai City knows that Huaxiang Tower is related to the local county government.

He and the Xiao family did not interfere with each other, so who would dare to surround Huaxiang Tower?

"My lord, I heard from the general outside that Zhihua attempted to poison Duke Anguo in Tingxuan Pavilion today, but was discovered by the Duke Anguo on the spot," the old procuress said in a trembling voice.

"What."

Hearing this, Zhao Ping felt dizzy, and the next second his eyes went dark and he fainted.

A deserted tavern in Qinhuai City.

There were only a few people drinking in the pub.

Because the wine in the tavern is cheaper than that in other taverns, the people who come here to drink are all from the lower class.

Just then, a man dressed as a laborer walked in.

The shopkeeper came up to the man and said, "Sir, would you like something to drink? I have..."

Before he could finish his words, the man interrupted and said, "Boss, I have a stomachache. Can I borrow your toilet?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, the toilet is in the backyard, I'll take you there."

The two of them came to the backyard of the tavern. The man didn't give any secret codes and said directly: "Huaying's operation failed. Now Tingxuan Tower has been surrounded by Chen Mo's people. Although Huaying and I have a single line of communication, you must move immediately just in case."

The shopkeeper's expression changed and he asked, "What about Huaying?"

"Most likely he won't survive."

"Alas, I knew that she was a low-rank warrior, how could she possibly assassinate Chen Mo. I had originally planned to wait until Xia He's cocktail party was over to see if I could use her brother to have sex with her once, what a pity." The shopkeeper sighed, looking disappointed, and then sneered: "If Hua Ying knew that her brother would have died long ago..."

"Stop talking nonsense." The man interrupted the shopkeeper and said coldly, "I've already told you the news, why don't you hurry up and act."
