Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 191 Catch up

Said it was a lake tour, and when we arrived at Nanhu Lake, the hot air was transpiring so that the water vapor on the lake surface was dense and hot.

"The lake is too hot, let's go to the Tangshui shop." Ai Hu responded and drove the carriage around to the half-mountain island on the other side. There were not many people in the Tangshui shop at the moment, and they probably didn't want to go out in the sun.The two chose a place close to the lake, and Ai Hu stood guard at the table by the door and looked around vigilantly.

There are several clusters of flowering trees growing outside the window, and at this time the flowers are in full bloom, reflecting a pool of green water, which is really beautiful.

"I've already sent that person to Thousand Hands Villa, just let me know when you need to."

"It depends on the outcome of the fight between those two people, there is no rush."

"Here comes the sugar water, the two guests take your time." The boss brought up two bowls of sugar water, and there were two red dates lying in the crystal clear sugar water.Su Tiange sniffed it close to the tip of his nose, looked up at the boss and said, "Why didn't you hear the sound of the pipa? I remember passing by here a few days ago and listening to it was wonderful."

"Ms. Qin didn't come today because she has something to do, which spoiled the girl's interest." The boss said respectfully, Su Tiange nodded, and the boss went down.Covering their sleeves, the two began to taste the sugar water one after another. At this time, they only heard a few bangs, and something fell down the stairs.

The two turned their heads and saw a short man in black just turned up from the ground and rushed out the door.Just two steps away from the door, he tilted his body and plunged into the water. Ai Hu ran to the door and saw that the man floated up again and remained motionless.The water around the man was black with blood, and the man was dead.

Ai Hu turned back with a nervous expression, "The man is dead."

Su Tiange didn't move yet, thud, someone came down the stairs, more than one.

It was Xing Niang, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, at the beginning, and there were four people standing behind, including the owner of the Tangshui shop.

"I hid here and was discovered by you. Today, either you or I will die. Close the door." As soon as the door was closed, a suppressed smell of gunpowder rose.

After listening to Xingniang's words, Su Tiange couldn't help laughing, "I think you are guilty of overthinking yourself. I am just here to swim in the lake today. When I am thirsty, I will stop by to drink a bowl of sugar water. As for the sound of the pipa mentioned, it is purely one day. I heard it passing by, besides, I don't have much hatred with you, do I?"

"I'm not talking about you." Xingniang looked past Su Tiange at Qianxun, both startled and frightened.

Ah, Su Tiange turned around to look at Qian Xun, only then realized that she was thinking too much, she asked Qian Xun with a dry smile: "The enemy of Qianshou Villa?"

"Yes and no." Chihiro threw the bowl out of the window, clapped her hands and stood up, "Sure enough, there is still no improvement after such a long time. What did you inject this time, poison or drug?"

Xingniang bit her lips and said bitterly: "You don't need to worry about it."

"Are you voluntarily going back to the villa with me to be punished, or am I going to tie you back?"

"Why can't you give me a way out?"

"What is your way of life? Get involved in the imperial court's struggle, and ruin the reputation of Qianshou Villa?" Qianxun sneered at Xingniang, "You have changed your identity many times, first from Tiandao League and now under the prince's sect, do you know This is putting the villa in injustice. I might as well tell you that I am going to kill Mr. Qianye when I come out this time, and it is not good luck to meet you."

"Come on." Xingniang yelled and rushed over with her knife. Qianxun didn't retreat but flied past. Ai Hu supported Su Tiange and stood aside. He heard the sound of water hitting the shore outside the window. I looked up and saw two boats on the lake.The hull of the boat was covered with a dark tarpaulin, and a person stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, and his face could not be seen clearly from a distance. At this moment, the boat stopped.

Hey, Ai Hu moved his ears and cried out, "There is a stab in the back, get down quickly." He stretched out his hand and pulled Su Tiange to hide in the corner, and pulled a table against the wall.The arrow shot in through the window and hit a man's neck, and the blood spattered the people in the room.

Everyone quickly lowered their bodies, Qian Xun closed the window and asked, "Is there a secret passage here?"

"Yes, yes." The boss got up in a panic and ran back, and everyone followed him into a water channel under the house, with the sound of arrows shooting into the sky and firewood crackling outside.

"Who is it?"

Xingniang pursed her lips and whispered, "People from the government."

"Aren't you..." Chihiro paused and understood, "Are you being murdered and silenced? What did you do?"

"I can't tell you for now."

"A few days ago, the emperor went to Tangquan Palace to recuperate. I heard that the magistrate of Xicheng presented a statue of Guanyin made of pure gold, inlaid with countless gemstones of various colors. This statue of Guanyin costs 10,000+ taels of silver. It is said that it is used to bribe A certain official should say a few good words to himself in front of the emperor, so as to avoid the fault of the ineffective rescue of the last flood.”

"As a result, the Avalokitesvara statue was robbed on the road, and the local government searched for it for a long time to no avail. Moreover, there have been rumors recently that this official was planning to bribe Concubine Ning in the palace. Now that the Avalokitesvara statue is gone, Concubine Ning has memorized another one for nothing. The crime of accepting bribes from officials, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice is instructed to review the case."

Su Tian said and looked at Xingniang, "Now it seems that the gang of robbers are you." Su Tiange still had nothing to say, Xingniang has become Xiao Rui's subordinate, and they might use it to rob the Guanyin statue. Let's make this rumor a reality, in order to achieve the purpose of severely injuring Concubine Ning and Xiao Yan.

But I don't know whether it is Xiao Yan's people or Xiao Rui's people who came to kill today.

"It's true of us, those dog officials who search for people's fat and people's anointing, he deserves to die." The boss said with a little righteous indignation.Su Tiange couldn't help admiring him without saying a word, but Xiao Rui was clever enough to take advantage of the hatred of corrupt officials by those who thought they were kind, not only did things well, but also won the hearts of the people.

"Then let me ask you, who was the person you killed?"

"A member of the Heavenly Dao League."

Qian Xun smacked her lips after hearing this, "I didn't expect you to cause a big deal, not only offending the government but also offending the Tiandao League in Jianghu. It seems that I don't have to arrest you and return to Qianshou Villa. I will keep you to watch you die All right."

"You think I'm willing." Xingniang gritted her teeth, knowing that she had been betrayed, and Xiao Rui couldn't tolerate her anymore.She should have been vigilant when she personally delivered the Guanyin statue to Prince Rui's residence yesterday, the current Prince Rui already has an absolute advantage to take a place in the battle, so he can't let this matter show his flaws.

"Listen, there's no one left."

The original bang bang arrow sound disappeared, but no one was seen except the fire burning above the head, and the boss went out from the waterway to check the situation.

There was the sound of rushing water, and through the wooden latticework in the channel, Su Tiange saw a boat coming from outside, and the person standing at the bow she knew, and it turned out to be another old acquaintance.
