Chapter 175 Warning (2)

Following Fu Guan's order, the guards on standby at the rear stepped forward at the same time, forcibly locked Princess Anning back into the cell, and sealed the three chains at the same time.

One of the hall officials had a headache and helplessly wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Your Highness—we still respect you as Your Highness, please listen to a piece of advice and don't do this trick of escape from prison again. Right now, the Holy Majesty is still thinking about old love, but if you continue to be stubborn, I'm afraid you will be attracted The Holy One is furious."

Princess Anning snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Oh, I have already become a prisoner, are you afraid that I will be punished again? Let me out, and I want to explain it to your sage!"

Fu Guan ignored her, and said, "Princess, please calm down." After speaking, he turned his head and met the gaze of Lou Xiyue not far away.

Lou Xiyue stood up and said, "My lord, Master Qiu is dead."

Hearing this, Fu Guan paused suddenly, then turned his gaze away.By the candlelight in the cell, he saw the fallen body behind Lou Xiyue.

There was a large amount of wet blood on the ground, and Qiu Zhi fell into the pool of blood, motionless.

The others also reacted, and hurried forward: "What, what's going on? Qiu Zhihe..."

Fu Guan squatted down next to Qiu Zhi's body, while Lou Xiyue held a candle to illuminate him.Fu Guandao: "He had multiple cuts on his body, he lost too much blood and died."

He turned his head to look at Lou Xiyue: "Did you see the murderer when you arrived?"

Lou Xiyue was about to tell him about this, so the assassins he met in the future told him, and said: "After the assassins escaped, Qiu Zhi died. I guess they killed Qiu Zhi."

She thought for a while and asked, "Who do you think did this? Linlang Pavilion?"

Fu Guan didn't speak.He stood up and told his followers: "Clean up this place, keep Qiu Zhi's body properly, and report it up after the master examines it carefully."

After finishing speaking, he looked back at Lou Xiyue: "Let's go first."

Lou Xiyue met Fu Guan's eyes and understood the unfinished words in his words, so she nodded and followed him out of Dali Temple.

When they arrived at the palace study, the two sat down facing each other. At this time, Xuan Miao also came back with news.

Xuan Miao said: "Reporting to the lord, my subordinates have found out. The assassin who died at the scene also had the tattoos of the killer on the day of the siege at Qing'an Teahouse. These two groups of people belonged to General Yan, and they belonged to the Linlang Pavilion." exclusive killer."

Lou Xiyue: "Old General Yan?" She glanced at Fu Guan and asked, "What did you find out?"

Hearing this, Fu Guan waved his hand, telling Xuan Miao to step back first.After the door of the study room was closed, Fu Guancai said to Lou Xiyue, "We need to start with the casino run by Princess Anning..."

It turned out that on the day of Princess Anning's birthday, when Fu Guan saw the people setting fire to the princess mansion and rioting, he had doubts in his heart.So Xuan Yi was sent to follow up and investigate secretly.

After this, it was discovered that many of those gamblers who owed huge gambling debts were forcibly taken away by the casino staff.

"During the process of tracing, Xuan Yi accidentally discovered that some people were posting portraits everywhere, looking for the missing gambler." Fu Guan said: "Xuan Yi recognized one of the portraits, and he knew that they were chasing and killing us outside the Qing'an Teahouse that day. one of the killers."

Lou Xiyue faintly understood: "According to what you said, it was Princess Anning and her son-in-law who teamed up with Linlang Pavilion to secretly imprison the gamblers in the city and train them to become deadly fighters who kill without blinking an eye!"

Fu Guan nodded and said, "That's right."

Lou Xiyue: "Wait a minute, let me go through it..." There are too many contents revealed in this information, and she needs to sort it out carefully.

According to the clues obtained so far, the Yan family, Princess Anning, the rich family of Linzhou, and Linlang Pavilion are all parties with entangled interests.They cooperate with each other, exchange benefits, and what they seek is money and power.

Princess An Ning and her son-in-law run the casino, and the Yan family trains dead soldiers from among the gamblers in the casino for Linlang Pavilion.The rich family in Linzhou supported Linlang Pavilion's money expenditure.

On the surface, the four parties cooperate tacitly and seamlessly, but there are also conflicts between forces within Linlang Pavilion.

There was a conflict of ideas between General Yan and Linlang Pavilion's leader, plus the fuse of the Pingjiang prefect's corruption case, and the intervention of Fu Guan and Lou Xiyue, they had to take action.

So there was the Qing'an Teahouse Rebellion.

However, Old General Yan interfered with it, so that the head of the family could only let Yan Yun be the scapegoat.

But the situation has evolved to this point, and it can no longer be stopped.

With the collapse of the Yan family, Old General Yan could only seek the help of Yin Wang Xiangfeng and form an alliance with him.

Lou Xiyue didn't know what the conditions for the cooperation between General Yan and Xiang Feng were, but after careful consideration, he could come up with a rough idea——

Old General Yan is a general, and all he has in his hands is "military power".As the prince, Xiang Feng is bound to fight for the throne in the future.If General Yan's old troops are in hand, why worry about not having the confidence to seize power?
Furthermore, Xiang Feng might not be indifferent to Linlang Pavilion's group of "unbeatable" dead soldiers.Wouldn't it be even more powerful if these dead soldiers could be used?
Lou Xiyue frowned and guessed: "Tell me, will Xiang Feng take this opportunity to connect with people from Linlang Pavilion through Old General Yan?"

Hearing this, Fu Guan paused slightly.He thought about Lou Xiyue's words carefully, and said: "There is no lack of this possibility.

"Now the position of the crown prince is vacant. Although King Yin is the most likely prince to inherit the throne, the struggle for imperial power has always been the most dangerous. Just in case, King Yin will probably seek help from other forces."

For example Linlang Pavilion.

After the words fell, Lou Xiyue and Fu Guanju were silent for a while.

If things are really as Fu Guan said, then the day when King Yin ascends the throne will be the time when the power of the family will be overwhelmed.Now they still have a chance to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, but maybe in the future.

But now that Old General Yan was taken away, the emperor wanted to protect him, and Qiu Zhi was dead, what should be done to find out the remnants of Linlang Pavilion?
At this time, Lou Xiyue suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what happened to Princess Anning today? Did she escape from prison?"

Fu Guan nodded and said, "Yes. The assassin from Dali Temple came to rescue her tonight. It was the assassin sent by Linlang Pavilion."

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue felt something was wrong.

"This seems a bit strange." She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said:

"If Linlang Pavilion is determined to save people, there is no reason for the people of Dali Temple to have a chance to catch Princess Anning. Their killers and dead soldiers are not easy to deal with. With a large number of people dispatched, it is not difficult to rescue Princess Anning. "

Hearing what she said, Fu Guan couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "You mean, there is fraud in this matter? Do you think that Linlang Pavilion deliberately didn't rescue Princess Anning?"

 I'm too sleepy, I can't write anymore, I'll make it up tomorrow
