Jinghong Tower

When Xiu Gu learned that Min Lan was lucky enough to save a life, she was furious and asked Bai Die to send another murderer to ensure that Min Lan died completely.

When Xiugu loses her temper, the mountains roar and the tsunami roars, and no grass grows wherever she goes.

Baidie is already in her thirties, but she dare not even raise her head.

After hearing the news, Bai Zhiyuan came over and acted cute, so Xiu Gu calmed down and said to Bai Die: "Send someone over immediately. If the two from last time don't work, use someone else."

Baidie gave Bai Zhiyuan a fierce wink, and Bai Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Grandma, actually I think this is good. That old lady Min is a living dead now, lying on the bed half-dead to get through her days. As the saying goes, there is no filial son in bed for a long time, let alone someone like this. She doesn't have any biological flesh and blood, so her life will definitely be difficult right now."

Xiugu snorted coldly: "This is the life she should live. She should have died as early as the time she sent Min Qing to assassinate the head of the family. God is not wise and allowed her to live for many more years."

"That's right, she is lying on the bed now, just a ball of rotten flesh, maybe maggots have grown out." Bai Zhiyuan said.

"Huh, maggots and pus are what she deserves."

Xiugu gritted her teeth, but she no longer mentioned sending another killer. Baidie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In her opinion, even if no killers were sent, Min Lan wouldn't live long, so there was no need to waste manpower.

However, Baidie will carry out Xiu Gu's orders. This is a habit she has developed since she was a child.

The news that Min Lan survived the assassination also reached He Ran's ears.

He Ran didn't expect that Min Lan was different from ordinary people and had a biased mind.

She didn't want Xiu Gu to send someone to assassinate her before, but Xiu Gu's people accidentally hit her, so the result was good.

Min Lan's life must be difficult now, life would be worse than death, and King Qi will definitely not let her die easily.

He Ran felt relieved when he thought of this.

At this moment, good news finally came from Xinzhou. Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao captured two states and five counties under Xinzhou in one fell swoop, and were heading towards Xinzhou Prefecture.

He Ran was overjoyed and ordered someone to send a batch of supplies to Lu and Jiang.

The first draft of the new law has been completed, and Feng Xueying has been in Pingyang for some time. For such a person to be the prefect, he is overqualified. He Ran promoted Fang Keqin, his former colleague in Pingyang, as the prefect and ordered Feng Xueying to choose Head to Jinyang on the same day.

On the day Feng Xueying arrived in Jinyang, He Ran personally greeted him, so the entire Jinyang City knew that Young Master Xueying was back.

Feng Xueying's reputation in Jinyang is very good, so his return has improved the people's favor towards He Ran.

Zhong Yi also learned about this. At this time, Zhong Yi was in Sujiabao, a hundred miles away from Jinyang City.

The Su family was also a famous family in Jinyang. In the previous dynasty, they produced Jinshi and princesses. During the reign of Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty, the Su family offended the then powerful prime minister and was ostracized. All the children with official positions in the family were demoted back to their hometowns to farm.

Later, when the war broke out, the Su family built high forts. Most places in Jin were not affected by the war because of Zhouchi. Therefore, the Su family was able to survive.

In this dynasty, the Su family learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and did not allow their children to participate in the imperial examination. Even so, several great Confucian scholars and celebrities emerged among the children of the Su family.

The reason why Zhong Yi came to Sujiabao was because Mr. Guo Shaoyan and several of his disciples were going to Sujiabao to visit Su Fang, known as Mr. Su Da.

Guo Shaoyan's status was valuable and he had the attributes of abduction and trafficking. Therefore, He Ran didn't trust them to go alone and asked Zhong Yi to arrange for Jin Yiwei to send them there. Zhong Yi, on the other hand, had just received information that the place he wanted to go was near Sujiapu, so he simply sent Guo Shaoyan and his party there in person.

Out of Jin Yiwei's instinct, Zhong Yi walked around Sujiabao, but something went wrong.

Although the current Sujiapu is not like Zhoujiapu with its gates wide open to welcome guests from all over the world, it is not as closed as in the past.

At least outsiders like Zhong Yi could wander around the castle.

Zhong Yi discovered that there were also people with foreign surnames living in Sujiapu. After asking about it, it turned out that these people came to study in admiration of Su's literary name. Some of them had officially accepted Mr. Su as their teacher, and some After entering the Su Clan School, there were even some so-called literati who neither became apprentices nor enrolled in school. They rented houses here just to meet the famous Su family members they admired.

The Su family obviously did not refuse those with foreign surnames. Although the children of the Su family did not participate in the imperial examination, they needed to make a name for themselves, and the arrival of these people could make their literary talent famous.

The information Zhong Yi received was that someone had seen a person who looked somewhat similar to Zheng Xuan near Sujiabao.

And Zheng Xuan was also a scribe.

Zhong Yi and his Jin Yiwei came out incognito this time. After all, scribes like Guo Shaoyan didn't want people to know that they were escorted by Jin Yiwei.

So Zhong Yi and his men all wore casual clothes.

Zhong Yi asked one of his men to inquire if there was any house in Sujiapu that could be rented for a short period of time.

The men soon found out that there was a family with two rooms that could be borrowed. Of course, they were not really renting them, but they had to pay for them.

Zhong Yi and his four men settled here.

The landlady specifically warned: "If anyone wants to ask, just say they are relatives from my natal family. I am the only one in my family. Otherwise, there will be no vacant houses to rent. You are all men, so you don't want others to make irresponsible remarks."

Zhong Yi agreed with a smile. He asked his subordinates to take Zheng Xuan's portrait and show it to the landlady. The landlady exclaimed: "Isn't this the nephew from San Cong's sister-in-law's family? Yes, that's him."

Thinking of the landlady's instructions just now, Zhong Yi asked: "Sister-in-law Sancong is also a widow like you?"

The landlady looked like you are smart enough: "You are right, my old lady didn't die until the year before last year, but the third concubine is different. She has been a widow since she was young."

Zhong Yi understood that the landlady's natal relatives were fake, and the Sancongsao's natal nephew was also fake.

That night, Zhong Yi went to the house of the third concubine's sister-in-law and caught Zheng Xuan without anyone noticing.

Unfortunately, there was no place to interrogate prisoners in Sujiapu, so early the next morning, Zhong Yi returned to Jinyang Mansion with only one subordinate and the unconscious Zheng Xuan.

He Ran was very happy to learn that Zheng Xuan was arrested and went to Jinyiwei in person to watch Zhong Yi interrogate the prisoner.

Zhong Yi was a little surprised when he saw He Ran arriving suddenly. He did not expect that He Ran would come in person.

But he didn't ask any more questions. A bucket of cold water with ice scum was poured down on him, and Zheng Xuan woke up.

He looked around and then at the two people in the room, and he knew that he had been arrested.

Zheng Xuan's eyes seemed to have been tempered with poison, and he glared at He Ran fiercely. (End of chapter)
