Businesswoman Chenghuang

Chapter 73 Irony
The night was dark and silent.

Ye Yan entered Anyue Prince's Mansion with ease, and sneaked towards the place with the brightest lights after a little thought.

In An Yue Wang Jinghong's study, the candles were burning vigorously, and the maid on duty used scissors to fiddle with the flames from time to time to keep the candles in the brightest state.

With a letter in Jing Hong's hand, the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, the corners of his eyes were pulled out unstoppably, the anger between his brows was accumulating, and he was on the verge of collapse at any time.

At the bottom, a haggard middle-aged man in gray clothes stood with his head bowed respectfully. He was Leng Jiu, the superficial commander of the Dark Night League.In fact, he is just a servant of King An Yue, secretly working for King An Yue, clearing out dissidents, the executor of bloody debts, of course, including secretly collecting information, and obtaining all the information that King An Yue wants.

When Gu Wanyue was entertaining Ye Yan at Tianxiangju, he arranged the assassination.

This time, I was ordered to investigate the secrets of 19 years ago. Although many years have passed and personnel changes are unpredictable, there are traces to follow after all, and there are already some clues.

The important information collected is recorded in the handbook in Jinghong's hand.

"Apocalypse 36 years, in May, King Anyue traveled south, passed through Yancheng, visited Zizhu Forest, and happened to meet Gu Nianhe..."

"In the 36th year of Apocalypse, in July, King An Yue and Gu Wanyue met the Jianghu hero Lin Aotian in Yancheng. They had similar temperaments and became friends. The three of them were inseparable..."

"In the 36th year of Tianqi, in October, King Anyue was in love with this woman and did not want to return to Beijing. However, an urgent imperial decree was sent, and all princes and princes returned to Beijing..."

"Apocalypse 36 years, in November, King Anyue parted ways with this woman, and she was sent off by beautiful women from ten miles away, and bid farewell to each other..."

"Apocalypse 37 years, the first month, the prince Jinghan was appointed as the crown prince, and the king of Anyue was appointed as the grand tutor. There is no time for him to take care of him..."

"Apocalypse 37, in June, King Anyue wanted to revisit his old place. However, the day before the departure, he got drunk and killed more than ten maids and servants in the mansion in a rage, canceling the trip for no reason..."

"Apocalypse 37 years, in August, Gu's Nianhe, unmarried, gave birth to a daughter, named Wanyue,..."

"Since then, King An Yue's temperament has changed drastically. His original calmness and gentleness are gone, and he is cold and ruthless, which shocked the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty..."

Although everything is recorded vaguely and summed up in a few words, the facts are true. After many years, it is not easy to find these things.

King An Yue threw the letter on the desk, stretched out his hand and squeezed between his brows, no matter how strong he was, he could no longer hide the oldness and tiredness on his face.

"Leng Jiu, continue to investigate this matter, and report back when you have the results, go."

With a depressed tone, Jing Hong waved his hand to signal him to go down, a feeling of tiredness welled up in his mind, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Leng Jiu saluted and retreated to close the door. The whole movement was done in one go, quietly and silently, quietly hiding in the night, disappearing like a shadow without a trace.

On the roof, Ye Yan leaned over to carefully hide his tracks. He didn't want to waste any more time with unexpected incidents, so he gestured to Chongfeng to be vigilant on the roof, and then jumped into the room like a gust of wind.

The first thing Ye Yan did when he came in was to knock out the maid who was watching the night, so as not to cause unnecessary noise.

Jing Hong straightened his body in an instant, his eyes shot brightly, and they happened to meet Ye Yan's deep and dark phoenix eyes, and a subtle confrontation silently unfolded.

In the end, it was Jing Hong who was the first to lose. It didn't mean that he was inferior to Ye Yan, but that he lacked energy, and the age difference was revealed without any suspense.

"Who is your Excellency, I don't know why you came here late at night?"

Although Jing Hong's expression is no longer fierce, he is still firmly locked on to Ye Yan. Even if he moves slightly, he can guarantee to call someone in to protect his safety. Besides, if this person's skill is not good for him, there is no need to do anything extra Well, since he dared to show up blatantly, there must be something else going on.

Ye Yan was also secretly astonished, this person is really not simple, but his determination and ruthlessness are also worthy of his status of being under one man and above ten thousand.

"I just want to ask, did Gu Wanyue do it by you?"

An indifferent voice came out of Ye Yan's mouth, and the cold expression softened only when Gu Wanyue was mentioned, but was immediately replaced by worry.

Jing Hong didn't know why, the young man with a lingering temperament asked Gu Wanyue as soon as he opened his mouth, what's the matter?Could it be Gu Wanyue's friend, but is the worry on his eyebrows too obvious?Could it be...

Jing Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Yan again, and then said: "Your Excellency, you should report your name first, not to mention that Wan Yue is the princess of Mengyue, just an ordinary boudoir daughter, how could a strange man miss her?" reason."

Ye Yan frowned, Jing Hong's attitude was ambiguous, and he deliberately turned around. At this moment, he didn't have the mood to care about these things with him, so he directly reported his identity.

"Prince Cangli, Yeyan."

Jing Hong's eyelids twitched wildly, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the suet jade ring finger on his thumb, he was really startled, why did Prince Cangli stay in Cangli, why did he come to Mengyue?And there was no word about it, how many days has he been here, why did he come here?
He couldn't figure out his motive for a while, it wasn't because Jing Hong was thinking too much, but because he really didn't believe that Ye Yan would travel thousands of miles because of Gu Wanyue's affection.

But things still need to be asked clearly, "Prince Cangli sneaked into the palace late at night regardless of the danger, just to ask Wanyue if I did it?"

"Where did you say that? Wanyue is the king's daughter, so why did you do it?"

"You don't know?" Ye Yan asked uncertainly, the expression on Jing Hong's face didn't seem like he was hiding it deliberately, but after all, Ah Wan was not in the palace, so her father, King An Yue, wouldn't know?

At this time, Jing Hong also realized that something happened that he didn't notice, and it was related to Gu Wanyue, so he asked, "What happened?"

"Ah Wan, I'm missing."

Ye Yan watched closely the slightest change on Jing Hong's face, and seeing that he was puzzled for a while after hearing this, he was sure that Jing Hong really didn't know about it.

"As her father, you didn't realize that your daughter disappeared for an entire afternoon. You are really responsible!"

Ye Yan's tone was contemptuous, with sarcasm towards Jing Hong in his anger.

"The king sent someone to notify her guards. It stands to reason that nothing will happen. Besides, she has always been used to being free and has never had much contact with people in the mansion, so she didn't know about it."

"What's going on, why did she disappear for no reason?"

Jing Hong also frowned, very much like a father should have at this moment, as for what he was thinking in his heart, it is unknown.
