The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 137 Calling a deer a horse
While the two were talking, a voice came from beside Fan Xian, saying, "Master, the person has been found."

Fan Xian was startled. Someone appeared beside him, but he was completely unaware.

Even if it was because he was busy talking with the Second Prince, it also showed that the martial arts skills of the person who came were not low.

"Where?" Fang Hao asked.

"Zuixianju." Fan Wujiu responded.

"Well, you're playing tricks on me! Others thought she had already fled across the border, but little did they know that she had sneaked back to Kyoto."

Fang Hao became interested and asked, "Where is Xie Bian?"

"We're watching there, waiting for the master's order, and then we'll capture him in one fell swoop." Fan Wujiu said.

"Very good, let's go check on this woman." Fang Hao turned sideways and said to Fan Xian, "Fan Xian, do you want to go with me?"

"Then I'll trouble your Highness." As he spoke, Fan Xian winked at Wang Qinian, suggesting that Wang Qinian quickly call for help.

Wang Qinian nodded implicitly to show that he understood.

Until now, Fan Xian is still on guard against Fang Hao, worried that this is a trap set by Fang Hao.

How could Fang Hao, a grandmaster, not notice Fan Xian's little movements?

But he didn't say anything. Since he traveled through time, he has never actively interfered with other people's lives. So the Niulan Street assassination case still happened.

Originally, this would be nothing, I could just watch the show, but when someone always wants to provoke me, I can't tolerate it.

Zuixianju, backyard
As one of the most famous brothels on Jingliu River, Zuixianju is more than just a pleasure boat.

However, the girls could live on the pleasure boats, while the servants could only squeeze into a few inconspicuous courtyards on the shore.

When Fan Xian and Fang Hao arrived here, the feast of killing had already come to an end.

Xie Bian was alone with a sword, but he was not at all panicked when facing the siege of seven or eight Northern Qi spies.

Every strike of the sword will take a life.

After several blood splatters appeared on the ground, the battle finally came to an end.

"My lord, we have cleared them all." Xie Bian sheathed his sword, his body free of dust. It was obvious that this battle was just a one-sided massacre for him.

"Where is Si Lili?" Fang Hao asked.

"It's inside." Xie Bian said.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Fang Hao said as he turned back to Fan Xian and said, "Fan Xian, do you want to come with us?"

Fan Xian saw Wang Qinian making a "calm down" gesture to him.

He understood and said, "Si Lili is your Highness's person after all, so I won't go in."

"Okay, once I find out who's behind this, I'll definitely seek justice for you." Fang Hao said, and walked straight into the house.

As for his two personal bodyguards, Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu, they stood on the left and right of the door in a very tacit understanding, looking as if they wanted to keep away from strangers.

Fan Xian retreated to Wang Qinian's side and whispered, "Why don't you let me in?"

"Our people are already on the way. Besides, the Second Prince won't be able to find out anything in such a short time." Wang Qinian said.

Although the Jinyiwei of Northern Qi was much inferior to the Supervisory Council of Qing, its ability in training spies was actually quite good.

If they want to interrogate a professional spy and get what they want, it will take at least three to five days.

Although Fang Hao was a nobleman, he did not know the tricks of torture.

Under normal circumstances, there is no way to deal with Si Lili in such a short time. As the top star of Zuixianju, Si Lili's appearance is naturally impeccable.

Looking at the seemingly weak woman in front of him, Fang Hao said straight to the point: "Tell me! Who ordered you to plot against Fan Xian?"

Fang Hao went straight to the point without any nonsense.

"If I tell it, Your Highness, can you save my life?" Si Lili looked at Fang Hao and said.

"Interesting." Fang Hao said, "It seems that you are hiding here on purpose in order to let me find you first."

Fang Hao spoke in a firm tone, and Si Lili did not refute.

"You are a secret agent from Northern Qi, and I am the prince of Qing. Why should I protect you?" Fang Hao looked at the woman in front of him with interest.

"Your Highness, don't you want to know who framed you?" Si Lili said.

"Si Lili, you seem to have made a mistake. In fact, it doesn't matter who the real murderer is. What's important is who I think the real murderer is, isn't it?" Fang Hao looked at Si Lili and smiled mysteriously.

Si Lili was shocked. As smart as she was, she certainly understood the deep meaning that Fang Hao wanted to express.

The mastermind behind the assassination was Fan Xian, so who the real murderer was was of course very important to Fan Xian.

But to the Second Prince, who should have stayed out of the matter, the person who intended to drag him into it was even more hateful.

This is also the person that Fang Hao really wants to take the opportunity to suppress.

Although Fang Hao had no evidence in his hands, for a big shot like him, as long as he had suspicion, the evidence was completely unimportant.

"I heard that the princess had a counselor named Huang Yi, who planned the Niulan Street assassination in order to keep the princess in charge of the inner treasury. Do you think that's right?"

Looking at the half-smile on Fang Hao's face, Si Lili suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

She had a feeling in her heart that if she said the word "no", the smiling Second Prince in front of her would kill her without hesitation!

"Yes!" Si Lili uttered the word in a trembling voice. She didn't want to die, so she had to cooperate with Fang Hao and perform well in this play.

"Miss Si is very understanding. I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty and spare your life." Fang Hao said.

This was Fang Hao's disguised promise, and Si Lili could only choose to accept it with gratitude.

She didn't want to die, otherwise she would have committed suicide by taking poison just now, so even if there was still a slight possibility, she would find ways to survive.

When Mu Tie from the Supervisory Council came to Zuixianju with a team of masters from the Supervisory Council.

However, he heard the news that Si Lili had "confessed", claiming that the person who secretly spread the news was Huang Yi, the counselor beside the eldest princess.

"Since this matter involves the eldest princess, I must report it to Chief Zhu before I can deal with it." Mu Tie said with cold sweat.

The Supervisory Council has the privilege of supervising the royal family, civil and military officials in Kyoto.

But the eldest princess had a special status, and he was no longer able to make the decision after investigating the case to this point.

"Didn't you say that the Second Prince couldn't get any information out of him?" Fan Xian whispered to Wang Qinian.

He was really curious about what the Second Prince had said. Why did Si Lili confess so easily?
"There is no reason for this?" Wang Qinian also felt a little puzzled.

It is impossible that the Northern Qi's secret agents are only at this level?

What’s more, the second prince’s interrogation time was so short just now, unless... the second prince found Si Lili’s weakness!
"Mr. Mu, I'm leaving Si Lili in your hands. Don't let her die inexplicably." Fang Hao said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what's going on." Mu Tie said with cold sweat.

He suddenly realized that this matter seemed to be beyond his ability to handle!
