When Qian Shixin returned to Fu'an County, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to ask Qian Pei to question him, but Qian Pei turned him away for two consecutive days. Qian Shixin didn't dare to be too pushy, he knew his own father's temper, if you push him too hard, he'll show you how to get angry if he gets angry. It's really crazy and has no scruples. Now that the situation is tense, he doesn't want to make extra trouble.

Qian Shixin asked the people in Qian Pei's mansion to take good care of him and report quickly if there was any movement. If you just let the master do stupid things and you keep silent, you will be waiting to suffer in prison.

Qian Shixin returned to the mansion, thinking about what time to talk to Qian Pei about this matter. He had just finished being angry in the prefect's mansion, and he couldn't listen to anything he wanted to say. Qian Shixin entered the room, but found that there was only one person sitting in the room.

Qian Shixin was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, he quickly greeted: "Mr. Xie."

Mr. Xie asked bluntly: "I heard that you and your father are in some trouble? An Ruochen said that you are doing secret work, and let the prefect watch your actions?"

Qian Shixin hurriedly said: "That's not what she said. It's just an excuse to intimidate my father, so that he won't have any ideas about their sisters. I blame me for not being able to control my father. He is in Anjia When I hit a wall at that end, I couldn't forget it, I always wanted to deal with An Ruochen and find his fourth sister, to avenge the humiliation. I will teach him well, so that he will not be so obsessed."

"En." Mr. Xie nodded, and asked again: "Then can you find out An Ruofang's whereabouts?"

"Never." Qian Shixin thought for a while, and then explained: "My father didn't know what we were doing. He said that An Ruofang was alive just to lure An Ruochen into the hook. It just happened to happen." The key meaning Yes, even though they are father and son, he did not disclose any information.

Fortunately, Mr. Xie didn't care too much. He was concerned about another issue: "An Ruochen suddenly turned into Long Teng's fiancée. The first part is true and the other part is false. Maybe it's just going along with the flow, so I invite you into the urn. The other side of her You should be more careful about the movement. Did you dare to arrange the crime of subtlety with your mouth? She was intentional or unintentional, or she really noticed what was meant, so don't be careless."

Qian Shixin hurriedly said: "This girl is really bold. Mr. Min knew it at the beginning. She escaped from marriage and ran to the Yamen with injuries all over her body. She talked nonsense, dragged the dead on her back and lied, and squeezed into Ziyun Building I went. We had a discussion at the time, and General Long looked at her differently and promoted her, but I don't know what else is going on."

"So we must be vigilant. Long Teng may be more scheming than we think. His military skills are like a god. When he entered Zhonglan City, he must have been thinking about how to deal with Nanqin. He spent a lot of time and energy helping a Ordinary girls may have already made the arrangements. The fact that An Ruofang is still alive was announced by An Ruochen herself, and after the news was released, she transformed into the future general's wife, and the timing was too ingenious."

"What do you mean, sir, don't spend too much effort on finding An Ruofang?"

"An Ruochen and Long Teng may be waiting for someone to search for An Ruofang everywhere at this moment. If they smell the movement, they will have a chance to find clues. An Ruochen may be waiting for someone to blackmail her with the matter of An Ruofang. She I'm getting a little restless, don't you think?"

"What you said is very true." Qian Shixin agreed.

"Don't worry about An Ruofang for the time being, and don't worry about your father either. If he wants to be licentious and make trouble, then let him go. Careful work won't be so conspicuous, Yao Kun knows it in his heart. It's not worth it. As long as your father knows well, don’t set fire to you. If you reprimand him in front of others, the people outside will be biased towards you. He is what he was in the past, and he is what he is now, so that he will not attract suspicion. Otherwise, An Ruo If Chen provokes a few words, and you suddenly behave yourself and change, then there is a ghost in your heart."

Qian Shixin nodded: "Okay, I will be careful, and I will talk to my father." He paused, and asked: "Long Teng and An Ruochen are like this now, shouldn't we take some precautions? We can't make big moves. Find An Ruofang to leave clues, but we have to arrange some other means to restrain An Ruochen."

"I have arrangements for this matter, you don't need to worry about it. There is an important matter now, and this is the main reason why I came here."

"Please tell me, sir."

"The former prime minister of Southern Qin, Huo Mingshan, arrived in the territory of Great Xiao. He brought the emperor's letter with him. He came to see Long Teng."

Qian Shixin frowned.

Mr. Xie continued: "We didn't stop him in South Qin, but several men in black rescued him. I don't know the details of those people's identities. Now, Huo Mingshan has seen Long Teng, and they plan to go to Beijing to face the saint. .”

Qian Shixin said: "I know that Huo Mingshan is very famous in Southern Qin Dynasty, and also has influence in surrounding countries. Seventeen years ago, he was also the one who came to discuss peace with me. What does he have that is not good for the overall situation? s things?"

Mr. Xie said coldly: "He doesn't need anything else, he is the biggest detriment to the overall situation. Qin Zhaode used to obey him. In the past few years, King Hui tried his best to calm down the party struggle, the faction was stable, and Huo Mingshan's counterbalancing plan was defeated Breaking through. Qin Zhaode began to trust King Hui. But at critical moments, Huo Mingshan always jumped out to disrupt the situation. This time, Da Xiao committed a lot of crimes, and with Dong Ling's testimony, Long Teng couldn't bear to do anything, but if Nan Qin sent troops first, Long Teng would not Had to fight."

"If Huo Mingshan wants to see the emperor, maybe there is a chance to talk about a turnaround?"

"No matter what is discussed, he has a long way to go to Beijing, and it will take some time to see the peace talks. It is hard to predict what changes will happen during this period. Don't forget that the layout of Zhonglan City was originally stable. An Ruochen, and Mrs. Liu Zen made trouble, and forcibly wiped out the people of that line. We have no reliable and stable people in the market. Besides, Long Teng's move has another intention, regardless of Huo Mingshan going to Beijing Whether we can meet the emperor and talk about it, Huo Mingshan is in Da Xiao's hands, Qin Zhaode has scruples, and if the war is delayed, Long Teng will succeed."

Qian Shixin thought for a while and asked, "How did Mr. Xie know that Huo Mingshan is going to Beijing? Is this news reliable?"

"Huo Mingshan wrote a letter to Qin Zhaode, stating that he had interviewed General Long Teng. There were many doubts in the conflict between the two countries. It seemed that someone had set a trap. He wanted to go to Beijing to meet Emperor Xiao. He showed his sincerity, learned the inside story, and resolved the crisis." The gentleman paused, and said: "He handed the letter to his confidant Xie Xu, and asked him to bring it back to Qin Zhaode."

"Thank you Xu..."

Mr. Xie twitched his lips: "Of course this letter will not reach Qin Zhaode's hands. Xie Xu handed over the news when he entered Nanqin, waiting for instructions. He can neither give this letter to Qin Zhaode, nor go back without anything. It's not appropriate to spread false news, after all, if Huo Mingshan goes back, Xie Xu's deception will be exposed, and his identity will also be exposed."

"Then how do we proceed?"

Mr. Xie looked into Qian Shixin's eyes and said, "Huo Mingshan must die."

Qian Shixin asked: "Need I make arrangements?"

"Indeed. Your lord needs to arrange some experts. For Huo Mingshan's going to Beijing, Long Da must pass through Yao Kun. That's justified."

"Yao Kun will definitely discuss with us."

Mr. Xie nodded: "Yes. Sir, please delay Huo Mingshan's going to Beijing at that time. Submit the memorial first, or wait for the inspector to arrive and jointly present the memorial to recommend Huo Mingshan to go to Beijing. In short, it is good to delay it for a day or two according to the rules and regulations. "

Qian Shixin said: "This shouldn't be difficult. Even if Long Teng is in a hurry, he can't drive an old man on a long journey like a donkey and suffer from the bumps. It's also right to rest for a day or two, and wait for the **** to sort out all the affairs before going on the road. of."

"And let him live in the prefect's mansion."

"The prefect respects Huo Mingshan as a guest of honor, so it is right to receive hospitality from his own mansion." Qian Shixin felt that this matter was not difficult. "Sir just said, Inspector?"

"Yes. I received the news that some major incidents occurred in Mao County. The imperial court was shocked. Pingnan's small crimes were chaotic. There were internal traitors in the army, and the imperial court was also furious. In order to protect the safety of the border and check the duties of all officials, Da Xiao will send patrols It’s done. The **** should receive the news in two days, and you will know soon.”

Qian Shixin frowned slightly. This Mr. Xie knew about the movement of the court in the capital faster than they did.

"In addition, you find two more experts and arrange them in the patrol team of Yacha. Just give me their names, and I will arrange for someone to do it." Mr. Xie said.

"Do you want those two people to kill Huo Mingshan?" Qian Shixin was thinking, if this is the case, then he has to find two people who can be arranged to go away and deal with cleanly without attracting attention.

"No. It's just to be prepared. If the butcher doesn't attack Huo Mingshan, or if something goes wrong, they will kill the two of them together."

Qian Shixin pondered: "Sir, are you looking for a butcher?" Every assassination task will be selected according to the specific situation. Qian Shixin knew that the "butcher" was ruthless and would never leave a trace, and he heard that he was also cold and quiet. Mr. Min used to ask the butcher to do some tricky tasks.

"I need to ask the butcher to do something to see how she is doing. Mr. Min's last task was entrusted to her. According to the plan, Li Mingyu should die at the east gate. It would be good if the city was full of storms. But he died in On the way back to Ziyun Tower."

Qian Shixin said: "I have heard a little about that case. When I was running away, I fell off the horse and broke my neck. Nothing suspicious was left, and it was indeed clean and tidy."

"He died too early, that's not right. Mr. Min's plan is to make a big fuss at the east gate, so that the whole city will know that General Long Teng has traitors under his command, and An Ruochen is also suspected of major treason. In this way, it will be much easier to deal with Long Teng in the future. Although the goal has been achieved, it is far from the planned effect. With this difference, many things will be different. And Mr. Min disappeared, I have searched all the people connected to this person, but no one knows where he went, nor whether he is alive or dead."

"Mister is a suspected butcher?"

"I can't be sure. But it is true that she is the last mission arranged by Mr. Min, and there was a small mistake in the mission."

In the meditation nunnery, An Ruofang squatted on the ground, propped her face up and watched Mrs. Jingyuan arrange traps in her small side yard. Now a secret door has been opened in her small side yard leading to the front yard. It turns out that there is a dark room under the seat of the Buddha statue in the front yard. There is food and drink in it, and it is no problem to hide for a few days. When Mrs. Jingyuan went out, she was asked to hide inside. And in Master Jingyuan's own dormitory, there is also an iron gate trap, which can trap people. An Ruofang was also taught several times by Master Jingyuan in the past few days, and only then did she understand the various places inside and outside the small nunnery. There are so many secrets hidden.

"Master, you said last time that you are going to test where I should be placed. How did you test?"

"Look at how they respond to the crisis and what's going on around them."

"Has there been any results?"

"We have to wait."

An Ruofang frowned, a little uneasy: "Master, have I dragged you down?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Your family is too useless."

An Ruofang thought of her mother, and was very concerned. "If it's not safe anywhere, and it's not convenient for Mrs. Shi, then I'll go home. I miss my mother."

Jing Yuan stopped working, and after a while, she resumed her work and said, "Your mother is very close to Qian Pei in private. I saw them meeting outside An's mansion. You An's house seems to be no one knows."

An Ruofang opened her mouth wide in shock: "My mother, my mother knows that Master Qian is a villain."

"If you can seek benefits, you are not a villain."

An Ruofang bit her lips, a little in disbelief: "My mother doesn't do business, so what kind of benefits can I ask for from Master Qian?"

"Money, respect, flattery... What she lacks, she thinks these are benefits. I watched them talking and laughing from a distance, and I don't know what your mother can ask for. But I can guess money. If you are alive, Who else do you miss most besides your mother."

An Ruofang said sadly, "So I can't go back, can I?"

"Not necessarily." Master Jingyuan said in a cold voice, "Recently there have been some troublesome things, we have to deal with them carefully. After this period, when the situation becomes clear, I will go and kill Qian Pei. Then you won't be here for the time being." It is even a threat. If I am still here, you can tell me if you encounter any troubles in the future, and I will kill anyone who wants to bully you."

An Ruofang was too shocked to speak.

Master Jingyuan looked at her, and said: "Don't be afraid. People die. If you don't kill the person who wants to hurt you, you will die yourself in the end. Death is not bad. The worst thing is to live and suffer the pain instead of So, why not let those wicked people die?"

An Ruofang was speechless.

Long Da and Huo Mingshan didn't know that there was a mistake in Xie Xu's transmission of the letter. They only knew that three days later, they had successfully sent Xie Xu to the territory of Southern Qin after the soldiers who escorted Xie Xu reported back. Xie Xu had already disguised himself and rushed to the capital of South Qin.

Huo Mingshan heaved a sigh of relief. Although the journey to the capital is still dangerous, the first step has been successfully completed.

General Long Huo Mingshan placed him in the barracks, saying that he would first go back to Zhonglan City to discuss the details with the prefect Yao Kun. "You have to make a big fanfare to welcome Mr. into the city with festival ceremony, so that the imperial court of your country can believe this. Otherwise, letters alone may not be enough."

Huo Mingshan thinks it makes sense, please leave everything to Long Da.

When Long Da came back to meet Yao Kun, An Ruochen was approached by An Ruoxi.

An Ruochen originally thought that An Ruoxi was coming again to question about the poisoning, but just as she was about to explain something to comfort her, An Ruoxi grabbed her hand a little excitedly: "Sister, someone came to my house to propose marriage to me! "

This is surprising. It doesn't look like a very bad person, otherwise An Ruoxi wouldn't be able to react like this.

"Master Xue from the east of the city, do you have any impression of my sister?"

An Ruochen nodded: "Master Xue's reputation is much better than Daddy's. It's not that he and Daddy have always been at loggerheads, how could he come to propose marriage?"

"It's like that." An Ruoxi's eyes lit up, and he actively introduced the situation: "His son is sixteen this year, one month younger than me, and his health has been bad since he was a child. Some eminent monks said that he would not live to be ten years old." Mr. Xue was a little anxious. Like the prefect, he did not marry a concubine, but only had one wife. Mr. Xue was the only son, and it was a headache for them to hold them in their hands. Hearing that the only son's life would not last long, he hurriedly asked the eminent monk for orders , Want to find out the way to solve it. The eminent monk forgets it, and said that he wants to marry a Fufu who matches his horoscope, so there is still a chance. The Xue family inquired everywhere, and they found me, and my horoscope is exactly the same."

An Ruochen was speechless, words like "horoscope coincidence" must be fooling around. She is seriously ill and frail, her parents are in a hurry, and she rushes to the doctor for her natural illness. Her silly younger sister has been spotted, what is she so excited about?
