Welcome the Good Man

Chapter 168 Behind the Scenes
"Gale is my secret guard, how did you get in touch with him?"

……

"What information do you want from him?"

……

"Who sent you to tell him to do something?"

……

Xiao Jiyao stared at Xie Chengyi and asked with every word being precious.

Xie Chengyi looked directly at the "almost crazy" Xiao Jiyao and said jokingly, "Are you trying to say that I sent him to kill Ah Ying?"

After Xie Chengyi said this, Xiao Jiyao knew that her question was a bit hasty, but apart from that, she really couldn't think of who else could be causing trouble.

"First of all, I disdain to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit myself; secondly, I will not risk Aying's life!" Xie Chengyi left angrily.

When I came out of the Imperial Guards, snow was already falling from the sky. The whole sky was gray and gloomy, just like Xiao Jiyao's attitude and Xie Chengyi's mood.

"Prince, what did the eldest princess say?" Zhan Li followed behind Xie Chengyi. Seeing that his master's face looked strange, he felt a little worried.

Xie Chengyi's emotions were in turmoil, "There's something wrong with Liefeng!"

***
On the long street.

After searching for most of the day, Qingshi finally found the trace of the child in the painting through a few beggars.

"Girl, we found the child." Qingshi reported.

A Ying stood up eagerly and went out.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw a child looking around timidly.

Seeing someone approaching from a distance, the child subconsciously tried to hide, but was held down, "Be quiet, why are you running?"

It was not until Ah Ying came closer that the boy finally remembered, and he bent his body and made a move to run.

Qingshi jumped up to block the boy's steps, scaring the boy so much that he staggered.

"You, you, have arrested the wrong person!" the boy said guiltily as he backed away.

Ah Ying stared at the boy, "Why are you panicking?"

The boy became even more flustered and tried to calm down, "I'm not panicking!"

"On the day of the assassination, I first picked up your jade pendant and then was blocked in a dead end by the assassin. Isn't this too coincidental?" Aying's expression gradually became cold and solemn, and he said in a low voice.

After hearing this, panic and fear instantly spread in the little boy's eyes.

Qingshi came closer with a sense of oppression and said, "If you can cooperate well, we will naturally not embarrass you."

"I don't know anything, I don't know..." The little boy was so scared that he hugged his head for a moment and denied repeatedly.

Ah Ying didn't indulge him and said directly: "If you really didn't do anything, why are you so afraid of me?"

"Please, let me go, I really don't know anything and didn't see anything!" The little boy begged anxiously.

But when he heard "I didn't see anything", Aying subconsciously looked at Shuang'er. Obviously, this child must have seen something.

So Ah Ying pretended to sigh deeply, "Since he knows nothing, the police station will not make things difficult for him. Let him go and don't let the police station interfere with their questioning of him."

After saying that, he stood up and left a word nonchalantly.

When the little boy heard the word "police station", his eyes widened and his whole body trembled.

Seeing Huo Aying about to leave, the little boy called out anxiously, "Wait!"

Ah Ying lowered her eyes and turned slowly, "Hmm?"

The little boy seemed to have made up his mind, "I can tell you, but I have a request!"

Ah Ying's face darkened, "Raise!"

"After that, you have to ensure my safety. Also, I want ten taels of silver!" The little boy was lonely and timid, and his expression was panicked. Aying saw it, but in order to get the information he wanted, ten taels was ten taels.

"Okay!" Ah Ying looked calm.

Afterwards, Ah Ying asked Shuang'er to prepare silver and food. After the little boy wolfed down the food, tightly holding the ten taels of silver, his eyes slowly calmed down.

"That day, I did bump into you on purpose..." the little boy said with a long sigh.

Ah Ying's face darkened, her heart immediately tightened, and she asked anxiously, "Explain clearly!"

"That day, someone gave me two coins to lead you to the alley."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Ying asked, "Who ordered this?"

"Yes, it's a man, I don't know him." The little boy was shocked by Aying's anxious eyes.

"Man? Can you describe it?" Ah Ying frowned.

The little boy shook his head.

At this moment, Aying felt anxious and powerless.

"Who is it?" Shuang'er

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

At this moment, the little boy suddenly remembered something and said tentatively: "When he gave me the jade pendant, I wanted to ask if I should return it to him, but he walked too fast. Later, when I chased him, I saw him talking to a man in a carriage."

After hearing what the little boy said, Ah Ying instantly perked up, "The one riding in the carriage?"

"Well, I didn't see the face, I only saw an arm, a woman's arm." The little boy looked concerned, as if he was afraid that A Ying would take back his money.

"A woman???" Aying was shocked.

The little boy nodded heavily. "I saw a gold and turquoise bracelet on her wrist. She must be a girl, right?"

"Gold and turquoise bracelet?" This time, Aying was even more surprised.

The little boy swore, "I'm sure this is good. It's a gold bracelet with lots of turquoise on it. Not everyone can afford it. I'll take a closer look!"

Ah Ying's heart suddenly felt an uncontrollable burning sensation, which made her heart beat wildly and her hands tremble...

She had only seen one person wearing a turquoise bracelet.

Xiao Chuyi!
Could it be Xiao Chuyi who was pushing this behind the scenes?
She's just a teenage girl, right?
With several questions in his mind, Aying had to look at Xiao Chuyi in a new light.

After asking Qingshi to properly settle the little boy, Aying rode back to the Marquis' Mansion as fast as he could.

After entering the door, he saw Ma Saner inspecting the place, so he asked casually, "Is the prince back?"

Ma Saner ran over quickly and said, "We're back. We're at Songqingyuan."

"Okay." Aying nodded slightly and drove the carriage directly to Songqingyuan.

As soon as A Ying got off the car, Xie Chengyi took the cloak and walked out.

After seeing Ah Ying, he quickly stepped forward and put the cloak in his hand on Ah Ying, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Ah Ying shook her head, her eyes met Xie Chengyi's, and she held back a little, "I have something to tell you."

Xie Chengyi raised his head slightly and said, "Grandma said she hasn't seen us for a few days and asked us to go to Songheyuan for dinner. Let's go together."

Ah Ying suddenly realized something, and said with a hint of apology, "I have been so busy these past few days that I forgot to visit my grandmother."

Seeing that the whistling wind was getting a little urgent, Xie Chengyi slowed down his pace and comforted Ah Ying, "Grandma won't blame me. By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Only then did Ah Ying stop his wandering thoughts and stopped in his tracks with a serious expression.

Xie Chengyi was a little surprised, "?"

"On the day of the assassination, Su Jian and I were knocked down by a child. In order to return the jade pendant to him, we were led into the alley and then met the assassin. These two days, I always felt that the child was also knocked down in a strange way, so I sent people to look for him. Unexpectedly, we really found him! He said that it was arranged by a woman wearing a turquoise and gold bracelet." When Aying said this, his eyes were a little anxious.

Xie Chengyi's expression also froze on the "turquoise bracelet" for a few seconds.

"Xiao Chuyi was wearing that bracelet, right?" Ah Ying asked without giving Xie Chengyi time to react.

Xie Chengyi's face darkened again, "Chu Yi?"

"Yes!" Aying said firmly.

Xie Chengyi's expression was very complicated...
