The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 318 The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the killer strikes (1)
Superior token?People in the Yamen!
Chu Qing's eyes flashed, and she hummed coldly in her heart.

Those who can hold the token of the imperial court and control the local government are naturally members of the imperial court.

But, why did people in the imperial court suddenly come here, burn down the other garden of the Chu family, and even send killers... Obviously, it was to take the lives of their parents.

What kind of person is he, so if he wants his parents to die, what good will it do him if his parents die?

Countless questions flashed through Chu Qing's mind.

In the end, a figure appeared in her mind, becoming more and more clear.

"Chu Zhengfeng, I didn't expect you to be so courageous." Suddenly, Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured coldly.

The voice was so soft that even the people around her couldn't hear her words clearly.

Xing Rong and the Buddha Guard Captain exchanged glances, the former leaned forward, moved closer to Chu Qing, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what should we do now?"

The group of them came all the way from Jianning. They were already exhausted, but they encountered such a thing again, and they had no sleep all night.At this moment, since they knew that the people in the family were fine for the time being and just hid, what should they do next.

Chu Qing was anxious about the whereabouts of her parents and maids, but after her quiet eyes swept over the people around her, she pursed her lips and said, "Go to the inn in the town to rest first, and wait for the news."

What happened last night, her parents must have not gone far away, and they are still in Tianhe Town. Even so, she will not rush back to the Chu family compound at this moment without knowing her parents' whereabouts, to ask Master Chu Zhengfeng Xing for the crime.

The assassination this time must have been in the hands of Chu Zhengfeng. As for those assassins, they should have been secretly sent by the third prince to assist.

These people probably came to Hexi early in the morning. When she cooperated with the second prince, she missed this group of people.

Before, when Duan Dao personally went to Jianning to meet her, he had said that the struggle for the position of Patriarch of the Hexi Chu family had become more and more fierce, especially the old fifth Chu Zhengfeng, who seemed determined to win, was even more crazy.

The only one he secretly relied on was the third prince.

In the upper room of the inn, Chu Qing was sitting under the oil lamp, thinking, while Xing Rong was tidying up her room.

A sickly and unfavorable prince secretly possesses such a powerful influence.Moreover, from Zhao Shengqian's tone, it can be guessed that not only he knows about this dark force, but even the emperor knows it well.

In this case, why appeasement?

Suddenly, a gleam of enlightenment rose in Chu Qing's heart, and the light of the oil lamp was emitting blue smoke, reflecting on her beautiful and delicate facial features, which was dim and difficult to see.

It seems that there are unknown forces behind these royal children.

The emperor knew it clearly, but let them fight.Is it true that the person who wins in the end is eligible to ascend to the supreme throne?

If this was the only reason, then why did Zhao Shenggao pester Zhao Shenghao all this time?
Thinking that Zhao Shenghao has been living under assassination all these years, a ruthless look appeared on Chu Qing's brows.

She didn't intend to get involved in these royal battles, but now she is getting involved step by step.In particular, after her parents were actually assassinated, for the first time she had the desire to kill.

She is a businessman, and she hopes for a win-win situation, and peace is the most important thing.However, these people challenged her bottom line time and time again, did they really think she was made of mud?

Chu Qing's face gradually turned cold, and she suddenly asked, "Is there any news?"

It's been a day, and there is still no news of his parents, which made Chu Qing suspend his rested heart once again.

Xing Rong stopped her movements, turned to face Chu Qing, and replied respectfully: "Not yet, but we have dispatched troops again to increase the search area, and there should be news of Master and Madam soon."

Chu Qing frowned slightly. She was not satisfied with the result, but she was helpless.He could only nod his head incredulously.

After making the bed, Xing Rong walked to Chu Qing's side, and said with concern: "Miss, you haven't rested all night, so go to bed first. Maybe when you wake up, you will have news from the master and the others."

After coming to the inn from the ruins of Bieyuan, the rest of the people took turns to take a rest, only Chu Qing didn't take a rest, and looked haggard.

Feeling tired, Chu Qing stopped trying to be brave, got up and walked to the bed behind her.

Outside the window, there is a cold moon and a silver hook, the autumn wind is rustling, and the stars are sparse.

The entire Tianhe Town had already fallen asleep, and the oil lamps gradually died down, falling into darkness and chaos.

The Chu family compound in Hexi, more than 100 miles away from here, is still brightly lit at this moment, and servants come and go.Up to now, Chu Minghong, who is the head of the family, has not received any news about the burning of the Chu Family Garden.

It can be seen that in the Chu family compound, Chu Zhengfeng's eyes and ears have already been covered, controlling the channels of news circulation.

In the courtyard of the fifth room of the Chu family, the lights in the master's study were on, but there were no servants on the left and right.

It seems that they were all deliberately removed.

Snapped--

A loud noise came from the study room, which was particularly obvious in the night.

However, no one was alarmed.

In the room, Chu Zhengfeng stood behind the desk with a gloomy face, pressing the palm of his right hand on the desk, trembling faintly.

It seems that the loud noise just now was caused by him slapping the table behind in anger.

It's just that he didn't know what it was that made him so angry.

In the study room, apart from Chu Zhengfeng, there were three other people. One was hiding in the darkness of the room, sitting upright in silence, with both hands on a long sword that touched the ground. .

The person sitting on the other side looked somewhat similar to Chu Zhengfeng, except that his facial features were rougher, with a hulking back and a hunchback, giving him a sense of recklessness.He had no expression on his face, and there was a faint stinging air between his brows, and he just sat there, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him.

If Chu Qing was here, she would be able to tell at a glance who this person was, it was the seventh uncle, Chu Zhengxiong, whom she felt uncertain about.

It's hard to imagine that Chu Zhengxiong, who always thought Chu Zhengfeng was hypocritical, actually came here late at night to have a secret meeting with him.

The remaining one was a middle-aged man dressed as a servant. He stood bowed in the middle of the study, facing Chu Zhengfeng behind the desk.

After Chu Zhengfeng got angry, his face turned pale, his whole body trembled faintly, and a drop of cold sweat slid down from his temples.

Chu Zhengfeng's face was gloomy and ugly. He looked at the servant and suppressed the anger in his throat: "You mean, let them run away? And the people who were sent are all dead."

"Yes..." The servant was timid, buried his head lower, and explained nervously: "The people in the other garden are all good players, but for a while, the people sent..."
