Chapter 504 The Provocateur (1)
"Who thought of it? The bell is dismantled and reinstalled every day, and reinstalled and broken again. What a hassle!"

"Naturally, everyone came up with it together." After the man said that, he hurried to his place of duty, and didn't respond particularly to Gu Ruixing's evaluation of the trouble.

Gu Ruixing stared at the man's back, and nodded if he realized something. "The servants in this mansion are a bit interesting." The servants of the ancient mansion, some are very ordinary with mediocre skills;The one who spoke just now is probably an ordinary servant, and it is unlikely to be Yingwei.He had already seen Yingwei's silence and low profile before.

At the same time, five masked men in black appeared on the mass grave.Two people held torches to light up, and two people dug a hole, while a leader-like figure stood by and watched.

After a long time, after digging the big pit and checking the situation in the pit, one of the tall and thin men reported, "Return to the master, there are 38 corpses buried here. I think that one of them may have escaped successfully." The master sent There should be 39 people, and they found out that no one was caught alive.Since the number of people buried here does not match, the remaining one should have escaped.

"Perhaps? What this lady wants to hear is not the word "maybe", but what this lady wants is definite news." The woman's voice was very soft and her speech was very slow.

The tall and thin man was frightened by such a voice and knelt down on the ground, "This subordinate deserves to die, please forgive me, master, this subordinate will find the No. 30 nine people as soon as possible." The No. 30 nine people belonged to the 38 people who died. ringleader.He recognized the corpse not only by looking at the face, but also by the marks on the arms.He had checked carefully, and it was unmistakable, there was no body of the leader responsible for last night's operation here.

"My madam took the risk and sent someone to find out the terrain of the ancient mansion for you, but you messed up everything, a bunch of trash." She was angry.It's unreasonable that the 38 dead men that the empress has cultivated over the years are gone like this.There were nearly a hundred officers and soldiers secretly appearing inside and outside the ancient mansion, but none of her people found out in advance, they were all trash.

Being reprimanded by the woman, the four men in black just bowed their heads and listened without saying a word.

"I'll give you one last chance. The target must be killed within five days, or I'll meet you soon." The woman put down her cruel words in a soft voice, and left with her sleeves shaken.

As a result, the two men in black hurriedly followed behind the woman, and the remaining two men in black filled the big hole that had been dug hastily, and then took their tools and left.

After all these people left, a person climbed down from a big tree not far away. "What are you looking for? Grandpa has already solved No. 30 and nine people for you. Women are so unreasonable, will they die if they stop?" the man muttered and left the mass grave.

At dawn, all darkness is dispelled by light.Places like mass graves are haunted by wild dogs at night, and normal people would not go there.Even during the day, if there is no reason to go, many taboo ancients will not appear there.So no one, except the man hiding in the tree, ever knew that someone had dug up the earth and examined the body of the deceased.

At noon when it was the hottest, a person was lying in a long pavilion on Shilipo outside Kangxi Town.This person was dressed in coarse cloth, his hair was neatly combed, but the hem of his outer robe was scratched.At this moment, with a wine gourd in his hand, he was lying on his back on the long stone chair with his legs crossed, drinking one gulp after another.

The sound of horseshoes, from far to near.When a group of people whizzed by in front of the long pavilion, he shouted, "Young Master Yan, please stay." As a group of people flew past, he plugged the wine gourd, closed his eyes, and shook his upturned legs , leisurely.

Not long after, a group of people who had rushed over turned their horses and returned to the long pavilion.Zhou Boyan, the leader, asked his subordinates to wait, and drove to the Changting Pavilion.He patted the horse's neck twice, and the black horse stepped forward again.The head of the black horse was just above the head of the man lying on his back, and he snorted loudly at the face below.

An Rongzhou, who was sprayed with saliva by the black horse, immediately turned his face away, wiped his face with his sleeve, "You boy, why are you so bad?"

Zhou Boyan looked at him condescendingly, "What are you doing here?"

He was about to sit up angrily, his face almost touching the horse's mouth.He dodged and sat up, pointing at the black horse's nose and cursing, "Okay, you, if you have the same virtue as your master, you will know how to bully big brother."

The black horse snorted arrogantly, and turned around twice, as if it didn't like staying here very much.Zhou Boyan patted the black horse's head, and said when it calmed down, "Since it's fine, let's go ahead."

"Don't. Come down, come down quickly, brother has something to talk to you about, it's very important." An Rongzhou had to admit that his younger brother was more fun when he was young, but he became more and more boring when he grew up.

Zhou Boyan did not contradict him, got off his horse, and stood beside him holding the rein, "What's the matter?"

This time, he didn't go around the bush, and directly picked up the topic, "How did the ancient mansion offend the queen?"

"how do I say this?"

An Rongzhou patted the seat beside him, "Sit, sit down and talk." He also passed the wine gourd over, "Have a sip."

Zhou Boyan didn't sit down, let go of the black horse's rein and looked towards the willow forest, "What kind of wine do you drink on a hot day? With sweat and the smell of alcohol, you're not far from the beggars on the side of the road."

An Rongzhou took back the wine gourd he handed out, "It won't hurt me, you feel bad all over, right?"

"That's not true." He replied seriously.

"Okay, you win. Let me ask you, did you receive any news about the attack on the ancient mansion?"

"No."

"Without you, Gu Xiaoliu would have secretly dispatched troops? Do you know that you poked a hornet's nest?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Boyan turned his face away, lifted the corner of his robe, and sat down on the stone chair.

"You dare to kill the queen's people. You boy, you boy... I don't know what to say about you!"

"When did I touch the queen?" Zhou Boyan asked with a frown.

"You boy, you still don't admit it. I have confirmed that the person behind those dead men who attacked the ancient mansion is the Queen's seventh sister, Zhong Li." An Rongzhou said angrily, taking a sip of wine.

"Zhong Li? I haven't heard of it." It is true that he has never heard of this name, not a lie.While speaking, he had already snatched the wine gourd from An Rongzhou's hand and put it aside.

An Rongzhou didn't try to snatch it back, but just shrugged and said, "About four years ago, the empress asked the queen mother to make the decision, and brought Zhong Li, the seventh sister of her direct relative, into the palace, and directly made her concubine, concubine Li. But within half a year, the palace There are rumors in the book that Concubine Li and Concubine Xiao did not get along. Later, something happened, Concubine Li was convicted and sent to the cold palace. Soon, Concubine Li hanged herself in the cold palace. After more than three years, Concubine Li who hanged herself brought The dead man who saw the queen appeared here. My brother, what kind of hornet's nest did you poke? You actually brought the dead back to life."
