Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 560 Contest (2)
Xiao Qingyu stretched out his arms to lightly embrace Mu Yutang's waist, and with his toes pointing, he arrived in front of the study in an instant. The study was pitch-black, and the sound of fierce weapons exchange was shocking. As expected, the assassins were inside.

Feng Wuhen surrounded the study with Xue Yiwei and did not step forward.

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows in confusion, and was about to ask, when she heard a sound of "Bang!", the closed study window was pulled open, and an assassin in black jumped out, followed by three short and sharp guns. He looked cold at the black feather arrow, swiped his sword to cut off the feather arrow, and was about to flee when two snow-clothed guards came to him in an instant, piercing him to the point of chilling.

Mu Yutang understood, a black shadow flashed in front of her eyes, it was another black-clothed assassin who escaped from the study, Xue Yiwei drew out his blood-stained long sword, and was about to intercept it, but saw five or six feathered arrows tightening Then it shot out and stabbed straight into the back of the man in black.

The man in black let out a cry of pain, his tall and straight body was like a kite with a broken string, he fell straight to the hard ground, struggled a few times, and died.

"Ah! Ah!" There were two screams of pain in the study, and then it became calm, and the sharp feather arrows stopped shooting, and the whole study was suffocatingly quiet.

Feng Wuhen jumped into the study and closed the mechanism. The guards in snow clothes then walked in, swept out a pile of feather arrows, and carried out two corpses. The corpses were full of feather arrows, densely packed, and looked like hedgehogs at a glance.

Xiao Qingxian hid in a hidden corner, looking at the hedgehog's corpse, with lingering fears in his heart. Just now, he also wanted to take advantage of the darkness to sneak into the study to search, to see if he could find the so-called evidence. Unexpectedly, the black-clothed assassins went ahead of him. After leaving the study, he died miserably under the random arrows.

The random arrows were shot quickly and accurately. If he was the one who went in just now, he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

It's just a small study room. Xiao Qingyu not only sent Xue Yiwei to guard it tightly, but also set up sophisticated mechanisms in the dark. The tight defense is amazing. There must be hidden secrets inside. He must find a suitable one. Opportunity, sneak in and take a look.

There was a barely audible strange sound in the air, Mu Yutang focused her eyes, grabbed a black feather arrow, and threw it over following the sound. The black tip of the arrow shone coldly in the night, shocking people's hearts.

Xiao Qingxian was startled, hurriedly dodged to dodge, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, I'm Qingxian." Xiao Qingyu was right in front of him, he couldn't escape, so it's better to go out generously to dispel their suspicions.

"Second brother." Mu Yutang saw through the dim candlelight that the person who slowly stood up after seeing Dongqing was indeed Xiao Qingxian, with a meaningful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "What are you doing hiding here?"

"I heard the sound of fighting, so I came to help." Xiao Qingxian said in a low voice, glanced at the dead bodies, and said with a smile: "The assassins are all dead, I don't need me here anymore, I'll go back to my room first."

Xiao Qingxian turned around, and walked slowly step by step, not in a hurry, nor in the slightest panic.

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows lightly: "Could these assassins be related to Xiao Qingxian?"

"No." Xiao Qingyu shook his head, his eyes flashed darkly: "If the assassin was sent by Xiao Qingxian, he wouldn't have been hiding behind Dongqing to watch the excitement just now."

Mu Yutang nodded, and said puzzledly: "Then who are these assassins? What are you looking for after sneaking into the study?"

Feng Wuhen carefully examined the corpses of the assassins, and said in a low voice, "The assassins are very clean, without any objects or marks showing their identity."

Xiao Qingyu looked at the feathered arrows on the back of the dark guard in black, with deep eyes, and said calmly: "They should be dead soldiers, and they came here with the intention of dying, so naturally they would not leave clues or marks for Prince Qi's mansion to track down, and throw the corpses away. Let's go to Luan Graves, and then pass on the order, Prince Qi's mansion will strengthen its guard, especially guard, Xiao Qingxian!"

"Yes!" Feng Wuhen took the order and carried away the corpse.

Xiao Qingyu looked at Mu Yutang, and said softly: "It's getting late, let's go back to the room to rest, refresh ourselves, and watch a show tomorrow."

Mu Yutang asked in confusion, "What show are you watching?"

The corner of Xiao Qingyu's mouth curled into an unfathomable smile: "You will know tomorrow."

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, but the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was still dark and humid, the sun was not visible, and the smell penetrated into the nostrils, making people want to vomit. Gu Taifu stood in the iron fence with a proud expression, while Xiao Tianjun stood in the iron fence Outside, asked in a deep voice: "Grandpa, did you really kill Shangguan Taiwei?"

"Of course not." Gu Taifu's face was gloomy, and he said every word: "Shangguan Taiwei surpassed his seniority and reprimanded this old man indiscriminately. He should be punished, but he is your father-in-law, for your sake , I will not kill him either."

Xiao Tianjun and Gu Taifu have a deep relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, and know him quite well. He said that if he didn't kill the Shangguan Taiwei, then he must have not killed him: "It seems that someone designed to frame Grandpa."

A sharp and cold light flashed in Gu Taifu's eyes: "It's not that easy to plot against the old man."

"Don't be impatient, grandpa. I will immediately order someone to investigate the truth thoroughly, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and return grandpa justice." Xiao Tianjun's voice was low, his eyes gleaming with arrogance and confidence.

"The mastermind behind the scenes is very cunning. He plotted against me closely. Now all the evidence points to the fact that I killed the Shangguan Taiwei. Even if the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment came out personally, he might not be able to find him out." Mrs. Gu Fu said in a low voice, with a rare seriousness in his eyes.

Xiao Tianjun frowned tightly: "Then what should we do?"

Gu Taifu's shrewd eyes flickered with light: "If you want to get rid of the crime completely, you must take the edge of the sword."

Xiao Tianjun's eyes froze: "Grandpa has already thought of a countermeasure?"

The corner of Gu Taifu's mouth curled into an inscrutable smile: "That's right!"

Just as Xiao Tianjun was about to ask what countermeasures to take, there was a slight sound of breaking wind, and a black-clothed dark guard appeared in the prison out of nowhere, and bowed to Taifu Gu to salute: "See Taifu!"

Gu Taifu looked at him fixedly, with deep displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Why did you come back? How did things go?"

"Back to the Grand Tutor, I was shot by the organ and fell into a coma. I just woke up before a stick of incense, but fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." The dark guard presented a round jade pendant with both hands, the jade pendant is white, smooth and shiny, There is a big Qi character carved in the middle, and the veins of the characters are stained with traces of blood!

Xiao Tianjun's eyes were full of surprise: "This is... the jade pendant from Prince Qi's residence."

Gu Taifu smiled slightly: "To be more precise, this is Xiao Qingyu's jade pendant."

Xiao Tianjun suddenly understood Gu Taifu's meaning: "Grandpa wants to leave the matter to Xiao Qingyu, how can this be done!"

Gu Taifu didn't expect Xiao Tianjun to have such a violent reaction, he asked in puzzlement, "Why not?"

"The person who framed grandpa is most likely Xiao Tianling or Grand Master Jiang. Even if we want to frame him, we should blame them. Xiao Qingyu has no grievances with us, so why frame him?" Xiao Tianjun said in a low voice, His eyes were full of doubts.
