Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 207 Knowing
Zhixia found a trustworthy escort to send a letter to Duke Rong Guo to recruit men, and accompanied Zhichun into the inner courtyard to check the situation.

After entering the second door, Zhichun calmly returned to the second young lady and the fourth young master to provide support to prevent them from suddenly looking for their mother;
Zhixia avoided Yun Duo, who was sewing and looking at the door, and quietly entered the living room of Tang Bingxuan and his wife.

The furnishings in the room were the same as before, and there were no signs of struggle on the bed. The method of kidnapping was clean and neat, leaving no trace.

It was somewhat similar to the time at the Great Buddha Temple a few years ago. It did not even alert the guards in the Hou Mansion and the secret guards left by Jiang Shunian.

Zhixia is different from Tang Bingxuan's other maids. She is also Tang Bingxuan's guard. She knows more things and comes into contact with more people than Zhichun.

Zhixia found out several secret guards responsible for protecting Tang Bingxuan's mother and son, and they exchanged information. Only then did the secret guards know that the third lady was taken away under their noses.

Because Tang Bingxuan, mother and son were mostly in the inner house, it was difficult for the secret guards to get too close, so they took turns guarding the outside of the three-bedroom courtyard. Unexpectedly, the other party was able to avoid their sight and take the person away.

Zhixia quickly left the house to see Tang Jingyan, Duke Rong. This was the first time she showed her differences in front of Duke Rong.

"My lord, this is a scent-seeking insect developed by Miss. If you order someone to bring it, they should be able to find Miss."

Tang Bingxuan was kidnapped several times and learned that being defeated by force was a flaw. It took a lot of effort to develop this kind of fragrant insect.

This kind of bug likes a prepared scent. Tang Bingxuan made it into a facial ointment, which a family of four must apply every day. This bug can be used to find people based on the scent of Tang Bingxuan's body.

Before Zhixia left the house, he gave one to several secret guards. They had already started to look for people. This was just another one to lead the way for Rong Guogong's people.

"My lord, the lady can no longer apply perfume. The fragrance will become weaker and weaker, and the ability of the scent-seeking insects will gradually weaken. The whereabouts of the lady must be found as soon as possible."

Duke Rongguo didn't bother to ask Zhixia about anything else, so he went out with his confidants to find someone quietly.

Zhixia returned home again and quietly entered the Sanfang courtyard and began to play the role of Tang Bingxuan, the third wife of Jiang who was infected with the cold and could not show up.

Today is the day when the new emperor worships heaven. Jiang Shunian is accompanying the new emperor and enjoys great glory among the entourage.

The processes of welcoming the emperor, laying jade and silk fabrics, entering the ancestral hall, making the first gift, the second gift, the final gift, withdrawing the food, sending the emperor off, and paying homage to the emperor went smoothly, which showed that God recognized the new emperor.

After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was over, the new emperor encountered heavy rain on his way back, and the group had no choice but to stay in residences in nearby villages.

There was a lot of movement on a rainy night, and it was easy for someone to take advantage of the situation. Jiang Shunian and other imperial guards were all ready to prepare.

The sacrifice to heaven ended successfully, and the new emperor was in a good mood at this time. He asked Jiang Shunian to have a chat with him in the inner room with great interest.

"You haven't taken action until now. The other party must be still hesitant, and it will be difficult to achieve anything big in the end." The new emperor concluded in a low voice, showing a victor's tone.

The new emperor had received news before the sacrifice to heaven that someone would assassinate him. He was on guard while bathing and fasting, but he did not expect that he would not take action after the sacrifice to heaven was over.

Since there is news that the other party is going to do something, Jiang Shunian must be careful to protect himself and cannot relax until the new emperor is safely returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty is the legitimate monarch of the Ling Kingdom. He is naturally blessed by God. The whims of others will only be moths drawn to the flame."

Jiang Shunian quietly blew the new emperor's colorful fart while observing the chess game. He also listened to the movements around him, listening to all directions without moving his face.

Half an hour had passed since the winner of the game was decided. Jiang Shunian lost a piece. The new emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to bed. You should go and rest too." Jiang Shunian bowed. He excused himself, inspected the situation of the guards, told everyone to be careful and went inside to rest.

In the first half of the night, everyone concentrated on guarding and there was no movement. In the second half of the night, some people couldn't bear it and began to take a nap. It was when everyone was relaxing that a group of more than a dozen men in black approached quietly.

A group of people came in from a remote place, quickly eliminated a few guards, left their people to relax, and entered the new emperor's house.

The leader quietly approached the bed tent, and when he saw the human figure in the tent, he cut the knife decisively, but there was no feeling of the knife penetrating the flesh.

"No, there's an ambush, retreat quickly!"

As soon as the leader's voice fell, Jiang Shunian led a group of people with torches and broke into the door, and the sound of fighting outside the house was also heard.

The men in black expected that today would be a bad day, and more than a dozen of them fought desperately, trying to find a gap and escape to heaven.

Seeing that his people were no match, Jiang Shunian decisively ordered the people around him to step back and spilled the poison given by his wife.

Sometimes it is useful to be a lady. Why let brothers fight for something that can be solved with poison? If one pack is not enough, just use two packs.

After the poison was spread for a moment, no one in the house could move except Jiang Shunian. Jiang Shunian ordered his people to be taken out to take the antidote. The remaining assassins would not be treated so well.

More than a dozen assassins had their masks taken off, and they all had unfamiliar faces. It was not easy to interrogate them at a farmer's house at this time. "Tie them up first and keep them under guard."

The assassinated new emperor did not let this episode affect his sleep, and slept until dawn.

After a simple breakfast, the new emperor asked Jiang Shunian about the battle last night, "How was last night?"

"Your Majesty, everything goes well."

It is Jiang Shunian's responsibility to protect the new emperor. The main thing is that the information is accurate. He is just taking precautions in advance.

The new emperor expected such a result, "Mu Xin's news is always very accurate and timely. I will reward him well when I return."

Jiang Shunian didn't know when Mu Xin joined the new emperor, but there was no denying his ability. Now he was considered the new emperor's intelligence chief, and he was quite eager to compete with Mr. Tang San for power.

Tang Sanye's hidden guards were there since the founding of the Ling Kingdom. Both in terms of talent and information network, they were definitely bigger than Mu Xin's intelligence network. However, Tang Sanye was passive in taking orders, while Mu Xin took the initiative.

Jiang Shunian couldn't see through Mu Xin. He had many faces and was definitely a dangerous person.

If one day, Mu Xin really wants to confront Mr. Tang San, Jiang Shunian will undoubtedly be his opposite;

However, it is estimated that such a situation will take many years or may never occur.
It was sunny in the early morning, and the road was muddy but it didn't affect travel. It was time for the driver to set off back to Beijing.

A dozen assassins last night had their hands and feet tied and pressed on the prison car. The night of poison torture made these dead soldiers miserable. Even if they wanted to die, they didn't have the strength to take action.

This is another type of poison developed by Tang Bingxuan based on the poison of embroidery needles called "Can't Survive, Can't Die". It was a poison she specially developed for Jiang Shunian.

Jiang Shunian escorted the new emperor to the palace gate and took a dozen assassins' prison cars to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
