Chapter 541 Unknown Taoist priest

"Since you are already planning to assassinate the imperial envoy, why do you want to kill the fish fry I raise?"

Chu Nanzhi still looked at Qi Jiang in puzzlement, feeling as if she had some serious illness, and her fry had provoked someone.

"Humph."

Qi Jiang snorted coldly: "You let us have no way to live, and we won't let you have a way to live. The person who came to send the letter is probably trying to provoke the relationship between King Pingning and the Tang family, but I want it." Just your life."

"Poisoning ten thousand fish fry will kill me?"

Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sneered.

It would be more effective for him to choose to focus on assassinating imperial envoys.

At least that way, even if Lin Jinxiao can protect himself this time, he will plant seeds of doubt in his heart, and it will make the entire Tang family hate her to the bone.

I’m afraid this is the real intention of the messenger.

It was instigated and used again.

Chu Nanzhi shook her head helplessly: "Who sent you a letter asking you to assassinate the imperial envoy to frame me?"

"I don't know that person."

Qi replied with pouty lips.

"You don't know this person, so you obey orders?"

Chu Nanzhi was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"I think what that person said makes sense. Since you and King Pingning entered the city, you have disturbed the Qi family up and down. Now my godmother's family is dead, and those who are imprisoned are all because of your husband and wife. Killed by two people."

Qi Jiang knew that he had no way out, so he simply vented his anger: "Now you have taken away the Qi family's property and fields, and you are also married to the Tang family. You don't leave us a way of life at all, and you want to go back to the old days. In life, the only way is to overthrow you and your wife, and when the governor of Tang Dynasty leads Pingning Prefecture, we will naturally give us a clean life."

"You have a beautiful idea."

Chu Nanzhi was speechless to the extreme. These simple-minded gangsters are really easy to deceive: "I can tell you clearly that you will never see that day. If you want to save the lives of your people, you will use everything you know. Fifty-ten tell the truth."

"The labor and management have explained everything that should be explained, and they can be killed or cut up casually."

Qi Jiang gritted his teeth and replied cursingly.

is a tough one.

Chu Nanzhi looked at the group of people brought back by Xie Jingchen one by one, and she must have been unable to find the whereabouts of the messenger.

They have confessed everything now, there is no need to hide it for others.

And, if they really knew, it would make them less guilty by telling them.

After thinking for a while, she turned to the other assassins and asked in deliberation, "Have you seen the face of the messenger?"

Qi Jiang refused to answer any more. A servant beside him was afraid of being tortured by Xie Jingchen, so he immediately confessed: "I have seen it, but I have seen it. He only said that he is a Taoist who has been favored by the Qi family and wants to help the Qi family to avenge him." .”

"I see."

Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.

I really don’t know what kind of Taoist who can speak well.

No wonder this man was able to instigate these boys to assassinate. It turned out that he had the attitude of sharing the same hatred with them.

"Sang Kun, take them back, draw the portrait of that person, and see if you can find some clues."

Chu Nanzhi ordered with some uncertainty.

Sang Kun was about to ask someone to take them down, but Chu Nanzhi felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked: "How much arsenic did you use to get to the pond in Tong'an Village?"

"Twenty catties."

The servant next to Qi Jiang replied without thinking.

"Twenty catties?"

Chu Nanzhi frowned suspiciously.

Ten catties of arsenic were seized in the yard, and with these twenty catties, it was only thirty catties, so where did the other five catties of arsenic go?

Chu Nanzhi thought back to Qi Jiang's words, he said that he wanted to put himself to death, and he didn't just believe the words of the messenger, so it must not be as simple as just poisoning his own fish fry, there must be other plans.

Combined with her initial guess, she immediately had a bad feeling, and hurriedly urged Sang Qi: "Sang Qi, take a few people back to the restaurant and see if something happens."

Sang Qi also remembered that all the unknown people reported by the medical center bought thirty-five catties of arsenic with a lot of money, and also realized that something was wrong, and asked several sergeants to accompany them and rushed towards the city in a hurry.

After waiting for Sang Qi to leave, and seeing the mess in the Li family compound, Chu Nanzhi ordered Chen Chuan again: "Let's go back home as soon as possible."

It's really disappointing that a good wedding banquet was ruined like this.

She walked over to lead the horse resentfully, and couldn't help but think of the person who instigated Lin Jinhong to assassinate her a while ago, and she didn't know if it was the same person.

This person is quite clear about his own details, and he is good at inciting hatred and killing people with a knife. He is indeed very smart.

Xie Jingchen looked at her listless look, and didn't know how to comfort her, suddenly took out an imperial decree from his bosom and quietly handed it to her, with a sad expression:

"You gave birth to two pairs of sons and daughters for King Pingning. I thought that your husband and wife were deeply affectionate. Your husband should be a strange man with deep affection. I never thought that he was also a snobbish man who wanted to make friends with power. The little princess was brought into the mansion as a side concubine, and even asked the imperial court for a marriage."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sneered: "To ask for a marriage order for a side concubine, is this going to put you, a princess who is the main wife, where?"

"He has his reasons. Prince Xie doesn't know the inside story, so don't blindly complain about me."

Chu Nanzhi replied indifferently, she didn't want to explain the private matter with Xiaobailian to him,

Xie Jingchen felt extremely depressed in his heart.

He would rather give up the glory and wealth, even the country, for the one he loves, and come to the Dahe Empire alone. He never wanted to see her and see her suffer such grievances.

What's even more exasperating is that she still doesn't allow herself to blame her husband.

I wanted to persuade her a few more words, but I heard the sound of horseshoes sounding like a tide suddenly sounding around, and after a while, I saw a heroic general in white armor leading a group of black troops to surround him.

Chu Nanzhi raised her eyes and saw that it was Ji Cen'an who came here. Now that she has found out the matter, she can give everyone an explanation for the time being. She enjoyed it and teased excitedly: "Commander Ji, don't you stay in the manor?" Why did you lead the army out of the city in the middle of the night for a banquet?"

In fact, he had already guessed in his heart that Lin Jinxiao was worried about him, so he asked him to come and help him.

Little boy really worried too much, with a strong general like Chen Chuan, and brothers and sisters Sang Kun and Sang Qi protecting him, nothing would go wrong at all.

Ji Cen'an dismounted from his horse, came to her, looked at Xie Jingchen who was beside her lightly, and replied respectfully: "Brother Jinxiao is sending people to arrest Qi's henchmen in the city. He is worried that someone will harm his brother and sister-in-law. Let the younger brother come over."

"I'm not doing well, the murderer is also caught."

Chu Nanzhi noticed that his eyes had been on Xie Jingchen, and explained, "On the way, I met the prince of the Baiyu clan who came to peace talks, and he also helped me capture the main criminal, Qi Jiang."

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Baiyu Ten Clan. I am really disrespectful and disrespectful."

Ji Cen'an had long heard that the people of Bai Yu had sent a mission to the court and asked the state government to arrange it in the posthouse. He never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come in person.

It's just how he met his brother and sister-in-law, which is puzzling. One went out from the north of the city, and the other came from the south. Is there such a coincidence?
