Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 322 Revenge for the Father
After An Lan and Xu Zheng had their meal, the servants came in to clear up the tableware. Seeing that they had nothing to do and bored, they said, "Ma'am, why don't you go for a walk in the yard with the young master, the sun is very sunny today."

An Lan walked out of the room and looked out, the bright sun shone on An Lan's handsome cheeks, and the breeze was very cool.

The sunny wave couldn't open his eyes, so he squinted his eyes and ran in. In a good mood, he pulled Xu Zheng and said, "Let's go for a stroll in the garden. The weather is so good, how can we live up to such a beautiful scenery?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Zheng flicked An Lan's forehead lovingly.

The two of them lived a sweet and comfortable life, almost inseparable every day, as long as the two of them are together, they are always full of laughter and envy others.

When they reached the lake, An Lan ran forward happily like a child. Xu Zheng was worried that An Lan would bump into each other, so he kept following closely behind.

Suddenly, An Lan's heart ached, and she stopped frowning. Xu Zheng hurried forward to ask what was going on.

An Lan covered her chest with her hands, looked at Xu Zheng and murmured, "Is something bad going to happen? I'm so uneasy."

"Silly girl, stop thinking about it, maybe it's because you ran too fast," Xu Zheng comforted.

Xu Zheng helped An Lan up, and the two walked slowly. An Lan was still flustered, but she didn't want to be distracted by Xu Zheng's notice, so she kept silent.

"Report... the big thing is not good! The big thing is not good" I heard someone shouting in the direction of the two of them from a distance
An Lan and Xu Zheng turned around, and saw a servant running towards them, An Lan clutched his chest, his heart pounding, thinking: "Could something really happen?" She couldn't wait for the servant to rush over .

The servant ran over panting and saluted, and said in a panic: "The big thing is not good, the old pavilion master was assassinated."

Xu Zheng was shocked after hearing this, and quickly turned to look at An Lan. An Lan was like a bolt from the blue, she shook her head and said, "You are repeating it to me, I didn't hear clearly."

The servant looked at An Lan's distorted face after hearing the bad news, his whole body was trembling, so he repeated it tremblingly.

An Lan sat on the ground all of a sudden, and kept repeating: "Father...Assassination?...Father!" She couldn't believe that what she heard was actually true.

Xu Zheng hurriedly sent his servants away, looking at An Lan's pale face with distress.An Lan gradually cried out, calling out the word "Father".

An Lan couldn't accept it for a while, gasping for breath, almost passed out, Xu Zheng picked up An Lan who was slumped on the ground, rushed back to his room like a stride, and let An Lan lie down.

After a while, An Lan regained consciousness, tears gushed out of her eyes like running water, Xu Zheng was by her side, for fear that An Lan would not think about committing suicide.

Xu Zheng ordered his servants to investigate the authenticity of the incident. The death of the old pavilion master had already caused a sensation in the capital. In less than two hours, the news was spread all over the streets and alleys.

After checking the matter, the servants ran back and told Xu Zheng that it was true.An Lan lay in Xu Zheng's arms and cried loudly: "I went to visit my father a few days ago, and he was fine at the time. But now, who wants to harm him, I want to avenge my father, I want to avenge."

An Lan's eyes widened angrily, and her teeth were chattering.Because Xu Zheng felt sorry for An Lan, he also shed tears in pain.

An Lan stayed up all night, put on her clothes and ran out the next day, Xu Zheng stopped her and said that he would investigate the matter.

After two days of investigation, there are various rumors circulating in the rivers and lakes. There is a saying that Su Ruoqi and Yunxi forced the old pavilion master to abdicate to seize the opportunity to occupy the power and influence of the old pavilion master.The old pavilion master refused, and the two secretly killed the old pavilion master.

This kind of theory is widely circulated in the Jianghu. Xu Zheng told An Lan about it. No matter how deep it is, but there is no hatred, it is absolutely impossible for a dignified prince of the Xia Kingdom to do such a nasty thing."

After hearing this, Xu Zheng touched his chin with his hand, nodded and said, "Someone must have taken the opportunity to slander Su Ruoqi and sow discord."

Rumors spread everywhere in the rivers and lakes, and they naturally reached the ears of Su Ruoqi and Yunxi. They were very puzzled by the rumors about the rivers and lakes involving the two of them and the old pavilion master. They didn't understand why someone would put They get involved.

The two of Su Ruoqi visited An Lan and explained that the rumors in Jianghu were false, and told An Lan not to misunderstand and comforted him.An Lan also promised that she would not believe the rumors in the world and hurt the feelings between each other.

After Su Ruoqi and two returned to the mansion, they secretly sent people to investigate the matter. They wanted to know who assassinated the old pavilion master, and who slandered themselves like this.

In the afternoon, Su Ruoqi ordered his servants to post up a thick stack of handwritten announcements that had been made overnight along the streets and alleys where people come and go. The pavilion master seeks justice.

As soon as the announcement was posted, the common people gathered together and whispered, terrified and surprised by the death of the old pavilion master.

It has been two days since the announcement was posted, but no major clues have been found yet, Su Ruoqi and Yun Xi are worried.

Yun Xi looked at Su Ruoqi and said, "Could it be that the Queen Mother is secretly manipulating all of this? Maybe the Queen Mother sent someone to kill the old pavilion master, and then wanted to put the blame on us, and wanted us to do more harm." An enemy?"

Su Ruoqi paced back and forth on the ground, thoughtful, and ordered his servants to send Li Ran over.

Within a few minutes, Li Ran came in to meet Su Ruoqi, and Su Ruoqi told Li Ran about Yun Xi's guess.

After Li Ran heard this, he frowned, was very puzzled, scratched his cheeks, and told the two that he was not sure that the Queen Mother was behind the scenes.

Li Ran analyzed the two of them: There is absolutely no need for the queen mother to kill the old pavilion master by robbing him of his status and power.

Because for many years, the gangs and the court have supported each other, benefited from each other, and have always lived in peace.If the gang is short of money, the imperial court will provide financial resources, and if there are any cases that the imperial court cannot solve, they will hand over difficult matters to the gang to handle.

Su Ruoqi nodded, expressing his agreement with Li Ran's point of view. "But, who killed the old Pavilion Master? And put the blame on us?" Su Ruoqi asked in bewilderment.

"Let's continue our secret investigation," Li Ran said.

"I think the Queen Mother is more likely to be suspected." Yun Xi opened the window while speaking.

Li Ran repeated his analysis just now, and said: "It is impossible for the Empress Dowager to suddenly break the peaceful situation between the gang and the court. It will not be good for anyone."

Yun Xi nodded, expressing her agreement with such a statement.
