The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 135 Snake King
Zhu Qing was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe anymore.

Mr. Xie in front of him seemed not to notice, trying hard to hold up his sleepy eyes.

"My lord was very angry when he heard that there were assassins again. He is currently writing a letter to the capital. Mr. Zhou, are those assassins men in black again, and are they coming for my lord again?"

Zhou Ye rolled his eyes slightly, and the cold light disappeared in time.

"Tell your adults, this time the assassin is coming for me."

"Who is so brave?"

Xie Zhifei said angrily: "You dare to touch even the prefect, are you so bold as to be brave?"

"I also want to know!"

Zhou Ye's face suddenly darkened.

"Although our Nanning Prefecture is located in a border fortress, the folk customs have always been simple and the people live in peace. I don't know why there has been a lot of instability recently."

"The same goes for the adults in our family. We have been going smoothly for so many years and have not offended anyone. I don't know what happened recently. Nothing good happened. Yesterday, I went to Guanyin Temple to look for someone, but no trace of the ghost was found."

Xie Zhifei suddenly changed the subject.

"Master Zhou, where are Wu Guanyue and his son hiding? Why do they have to fight against our family?"

My third master, you really dare to ask!
Zhu Qing's hand hanging behind her back trembled imperceptibly: What if something happens to scare the snake?
In the room.

Yan Sanhe, who was leaning against the crack of the door, shouted in his heart: OK!
He said that Mr. Pei wrote a letter to Jingli to ask you Zhou Ye to weigh it.

Taking the initiative to mention Wu Guanyue and his son is to gain a head start!

Zhou Ye stared at Xie Zhifei's face quietly, "How can you be sure that those killers must be sent by Wu Guanyue and his son?"

"If it's not them, could there be someone else?"

Xie Zhifei rubbed his forehead with a look of disbelief on his face, "Mr. Zhou, who do you think it could be?"

The words floated in the night wind, and this time Yan Sanhe's heart thumped hard.

He actually dared to ask this?

……

Why not?

Pei Xiao let it slip that if Xie Zhifei drank too much, he would not only act coquettishly, but also make trouble, and he would also become bolder.

There is no benefit to being brave in normal times.

But at this moment, it is equivalent to Zhuge Liang singing an empty city strategy to Sima Yi.

Zhou Ye looked at Xie Zhifei's half-smiling eyes, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart——

Too sure, too calm, with an extremely flamboyant confidence.

He knew this person's true identity. He was the favorite third son of Cabinet Minister Xie Daozhi and the commander of the troops in Beicheng.

After Zhou Ye thought about it for a few times, he said calmly: "The matter will eventually be found out. I will send a message to your family..."

"My lord, come in and have a cup of tea."

Xie Zhifei interrupted very unreasonably and said with a smile: "My adults can't sleep anyway, so I just want to talk to you in person if you have anything to say."

After speaking, he took a half step back and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhou Ye's eyebrows twitched and he quickly glanced at Zhu Qing behind Xie Zhifei.

"I still have something to do. Please tell Mr. Pei that the assassin is still in the Yamen. You must be careful tonight."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir. I will definitely bring you the message."

Xie Zhifei saluted and waited until the group of people had walked away. Then he swayed and said weakly: "Zhu Qing, give your father a quick hand."

Zhu Qing hurriedly stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

"My legs are weak."

"I just..."

"Pretend!"

Human intuition is the most honest.

The moment he opened the door, he was greeted by Ruoyouruowu's murderous aura, which made him break into a cold sweat.

Xie Zhifei lowered his head and took a few deep breaths: "Close the door, unfasten the lock, and go back to the room."

……

After this, who dares to sleep?

The current situation is like there are six sheep in the sheepfold and a bunch of wolves outside the sheepfold. No one knows when the wolves will attack.

"I've never seen any of the people Zhou Ye just brought here in the yamen." After sobering up, Xie Zhifei was very calm, completely different from his usual casual demeanor.

"Although these people hide their murderous intent, I can be sure that their skills are not weak, and the weapons they use are also knives."

Li Buyan said: "Then it must be those men in black in the woods."

"All right!"

Pei Xiao smiled bitterly: "I did lead the snake out of the hole, but I didn't expect to lead a snake king, which is the most poisonous kind."

"Father!"

Huang Qi asked tremblingly: "I don't understand one thing. Zhou, if Mr. Zhou is related to Wu Guanyue and his son, how did he become the prefect of Nanning?"

These words simply touched the depths of Pei Xiao's soul.

As far as he knew, imperial officials, especially those guarding national borders, had to go to Beijing every year to report on their duties, and the assessments were more stringent.

How did this person get in?

Are those bastards in the official department so fucking blind? They are not as good as Yan Sanhe and a female class.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiao quickly glanced at Yan Sanhe.

never mind!

Marry him back!

If you marry such a person, you can control the house!
He coughed and said, "We'll talk about Zhou Ye sneaking in later. What we have to think about now is..."

"What we have to think about is, is Zhou Ye from China or Qi?"

Yan Sanhe answered coldly.

"What we want to think about is, what is the relationship between him and Wu Guanyue and his son? What we want to think more about is, how can we pry open his mouth and lure Wu Guanyue and his son out."

These words made everyone feel frightened, especially Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao.

If Zhou Ye is really from Da Qi...

This is tantamount to setting off a bloody storm in the officialdom, and everyone involved with him at the top and bottom will not get good results.

If Zhou was not from Da Qi...

Chinese officials secretly colluded with the exiled kings of foreign countries, which was tantamount to treason.

Pei smiled excitedly: "Huang Qi, go and guard the yard and don't let a single fly in."

Before Huang Qi could respond, Zhu Qing and Li Buyan said in unison: "I'll go too!"

Pei Xiao was angry, "Can't you fit in this room?"

Zhu Qing: "Master Pei, Huang Qi alone cannot see six directions and hear all directions."

Li Buyan said: "Master Pei, Huang Qi, and Zhu Qing cannot see six directions and hear all directions."

Pei smiled: "..."

There were three people missing from the room, and the atmosphere became even duller.

It was not only stuffy, but also hot. The ice basin in the corner had long melted, and the windows were closed, making it extremely hot.

Xie Zhifei stood up and opened the window, then picked up the cattail leaf fan beside him and fanned it slowly.

The cool breeze came, and Yan Sanhe's irritability was slightly suppressed.

Xie Zhifei glanced at her, moved the fan towards her imperceptibly, and spoke slowly.

"Which country Zhou is from, and what is his relationship with Wu Guanyue and his son, let's not talk about these two things for now.

Let’s first talk about how to take down Zhou Ye, pry open his mouth, and find out Wu Guanyue and his son. This is the key. "

"What do you think?" Yan Sanhe asked.

"I..." Xie Zhifei choked.

"so."

Yan Sanhe didn't want to waste time, so he stood up and took three pieces of paper, "Let's each write down our thoughts."

Pei Xiao was surprised: "Yan Sanhe, weren't you the one who had the final say before?"

"Now that things have come to this, we can't make a wrong move. If we make a wrong move, all six of us might end up here."

Yan Sanhe glanced at Xie Zhifei: "Be cautious. From now on, whoever has the best method will have the final say!"

"I agree!"
