Chapter 119 Before
"I thought my sister died just like that, and she was depressed for a long time. Later, I learned from the nurse who served my sister that my sister's heart position is slightly shifted compared to others."
Feng Lisheng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Qin Yan, and said directly: "It's because of you that those assassins found the princess so quickly."
Qin Yan lowered his eyes weakly, "...Yes, now that I think about it, when I left home, maybe I was stared at."
He leaned his head back on the armchair, and after a long while said in a low voice: "I killed my sister!"
This has almost become his lingering demon over the years, pain and guilt tormenting him day and night.
Feng Lisheng has never been good at comforting others, so he only analyzed rationally:
"It's not all your fault. Even without you, those people will find the princess, it's just a matter of time."
Seeing that Qin Yan was not comforted at all, he changed the subject: "Then, have you seen the person who shoots arrows from the Crown Princess of the Qing Dynasty?"
Qin Yan shook his head hesitantly, "The man was a little far away, wearing a black robe and a ghost mask, I only had time to turn around and meet the man's eyes,
It's hard to describe that feeling. If Your Highness asks me to describe what those eyes look like, I really can't describe them, but I have an intuition that if I see that person again, I will definitely recognize him. "
Feng Lisheng nodded and did not continue to ask. This is not surprising, people's subconscious mind is sometimes amazing, for example, some good scouts can recognize people they have met, even if they have changed their appearance, they can recognize them just by looking at them. Half of it relies on their ability to recognize people, and the other half relies on some kind of subconscious intuition.
Qin Yan continued: "As for the assassins who chased and killed my sister before, after investigation, I found that they came from Jianghu. To facilitate the investigation, I disguised my identity and entered Mingjian Villa."
Feng Lisheng raised his eyebrows: "Are you the rumored inner disciple with excellent talent accepted by Master Shizhuang?"
Qin Yan nodded: "Master has always wanted to accept me as an apprentice, but my family has been studying literature for generations. For me, martial arts is just to strengthen my body. So I declined."
He regretted it more than once. If he had practiced martial arts with his master early, maybe when his sister was in danger, he could still try his best.
Feng Lisheng thought for a while and asked: "So in the past few years, Mingjian Villa has opened up **** agencies in various places in Daxia, is it also your handwriting?"
"Yes, in order to better inquire about news from various places.
After one or two years of investigation, it was found that in the entire Jianghu, except for Mingjian Villa and Honglian Sect, almost all gangs had more or less people who were bribed to participate in the assassination of the late prince. Naturally, all of these people died in the end. "Otherwise, why would there be no movement from the court at all!
At that time, he could not help but offend many people who slandered the late prince.
"But almost all of these people are hired by corrupt officials who are afraid of being questioned by the court. It stands to reason that the crown prince is dead, so there is no need to send so many people to kill my sister, unless..."
Feng Lisheng did not deny this, and continued to ask: "You should have found more than that, right?"
Qin Yan took a sip of tea: "It wasn't until four months ago that I found out that the group of assassins who assassinated my sister came from Xuecan Peak. A disciple with good martial arts.
I was suspicious in my heart, and bought the attendants who had been with the peak master of Xue Can Peak all the year round. "
Feng Lisheng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of the group of assassins from the rivers and lakes that he and Shen Mingjiao met on their way to get married four months ago.
Those assassins came from the Shadow Pavilion, and he had asked Ming about this before, Ming looked very ugly at the time, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
"Some of the assassins who participated in the assassination back then escaped back to Xuecan Peak, but were ordered to be silenced by the peak owner. However, one person escaped. I found that person, and that person didn't know much. He overheard Peak Master Guo said that Xue Canfeng is backed by noble people, as long as they do things for them well, they will definitely be able to become a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future."
Feng Lisheng's face is ugly, the meaning behind these words is already obvious enough.
"When I rushed to catch the peak master of Xuecan Peak, he was being chased and killed. The people behind the scenes obviously wanted to kill people. During the fight between the two sides, I got a sword in my arm, and the sword was painted with Cone Soul."
"Fortunately, I brought a lot of people. Seeing that the situation is not good, that person directly bit the poison sac. According to his martial arts moves, it is speculated that he should be a dead soldier who was adopted by a noble family.
We have captured the peak master of Xue Can Peak, but his mouth is so hard that no matter how much torture he can't pry it open. "
Feng Lisheng said: "If it's convenient, bring him here, and I'll interrogate him."
Qin Yan nodded in agreement. His Royal Highness King Su has been in the army for so many years, so there must be professional personnel in this area.
Feng Lisheng finally asked him: "Then when did you see the princess again?"
After all, since it is guessed that the princess may be alive, it is impossible for Qin Yan not to send someone to look for her.
Qin Yan's voice was very low: "Two years later. Ever since I found out that my sister might still be alive, I used my contacts in Duke Lu's Mansion and Mingjian Villa to search secretly in various places, and finally found a small town in the north of Huaizhou. The sister's body was found on the road.
was killed by a sword pierced through the heart, tied with stones, thrown into the river, and finally accidentally salvaged by fishermen. "
Feng Lisheng took out the map and found the direction of Huaizhou. It was west of Daxia, and it was the fiefdom of King Huai. And Huaizhou is adjacent to Jingzhou, the fiefdom of King Yu. One state further south is the fiefdom of King Qi.
Feng Lisheng stared at the map quietly for a long time, his eyes dimmed.
I just don’t know, apart from King Yu, who among the remaining princes thought about it, or they all participated in it!
However, since the princess died in Huaizhou, people can go to the Huaizhou area to check to see if there is any news about Shuo'er.
