What happened later was basically consistent with what Xiao Ran had guessed.Mei San didn't know at the time that it was the princess who was rescued. Seeing that she was extremely beautiful and confused, she was taken hostage to Yicui Tower.That afternoon, the entire city was searched under martial law, and it was said that the princess was missing, so Mei San panicked and decided to kill the princess and destroy the body.Thanks to what Xiao Ran said to Ci'an, the false news that the princess had been found was released.Mei San never thought that the imperial court would lie to her, so she believed that Ning Wei was not a princess, so she gave up the idea of killing her and prepared to let her receive the guests.
After listening to Mei San's narration, a chill suddenly rose from Xiao Ran's back!Obviously, the person who wanted to attack Ning Wei was by no means an ordinary villain. This can be seen from the fact that Ning Wei is still a virgin.In other words, that person's purpose is very clear - to kill Ning Wei!
And this killer died from poison, which shows that there must be someone behind him who is secretly manipulating.So it seems.The princess going out of the palace will never be as simple as getting lost by accident, it is obvious that someone wants her life!But Ning Wei has nothing to do with the world, who would attack such a girl who has lost her memory?Could it be that there is some conspiracy hidden behind this? ...
Although the three of Mei are despicable, they definitely dare not lie about this matter.That's for sure.One mystery after another came one after another, and Xiao Ran's thoughts became more and more confused.
The princess was rescued, and the news had already been sent to the palace.This also means that it is very likely to be perceived by those who want to be unfavorable to Princess Ning Wei.Thinking of this incident, li xuan's teeth itch with hatred.The bastard Mei San actually didn't tell the truth until now. If she had told her earlier, maybe things would have been much easier.
The key now is to find out who is behind the scenes.But where to start?The killer dies.This line was also broken, and Ning Wei was confused again, unable to provide any valuable clues at all...
wrong!Although the killer is dead, a dead person may not be completely speechless!
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "Where is the body of the guy who wanted to kill the princess?"
"Corpse?" Mei San was taken aback, "That guy was indeed poisoned and died, so he has nothing to do with me..."
"Stop fucking nonsense, I'll ask you what to say!"
"Yes. Yes!...We were afraid that the government would investigate, so we threw the body into a dry well at the end of the old alley while there was no one there!"
Fortunately!The corpse was still there, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally confused thoughts became clear immediately.If I didn't guess wrong, this killer.should be a...
"Eunuch!!!"
He hurried to the old alley, fished out the swollen corpse from the dry well, and untied his belt. Everyone was surprised.Only Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that the prediction was correct, the person who attacked the princess must be someone from the imperial palace.
Although the identity of the killer was confirmed, there was still a big problem.In sweltering weather.The corpse had been soaked in water for three or four days, and it had begun to decompose, making it impossible to identify its appearance.Xiao Ran paced back and forth for a long time, suddenly his heart moved.Order Duan Xingnian to come quickly.
Lao Duan was still in the capital at this time, and after receiving the order, he rode a bicycle and flew to the old alley.He was originally from Xing Shensi, and he is generally familiar with the eunuchs in the palace.It's a pity that the corpse is really rotten. After carefully identifying it for a long time, Duan Xingnian shook his head and said, "It's beyond recognition, so there's no way to start."
"Brother Duan, are the eunuchs in the palace as skilled as you?" Xiao Ran pondered for a while, then asked suddenly.
"Not many. This year's newcomers are not counted. In my impression, there should not be more than 30 people." Duan Xingnian looked a little surprised, "Why, does this guy know martial arts?"
Since this is the case, things will be much easier to handle.Xiao Ran called Mei San and asked him to describe this man's martial arts in detail.Mei San also remembered it clearly, and said without hesitation: "This man's kung fu is very strange, he ran all the way down the three lanes and tried his best. I think his kung fu is mostly on his legs."
While talking, he gestured a few times in the same way.Duan Xingnian's eyes lit up, and he said: "The door! Could it be him!" He took off the corpse's clothes again, turned over, and saw a green flying mink tattooed on each thigh.Duan Xingnian got up abruptly, and said decisively: "You can't be wrong, it's him! This is the only apprentice of Chen Shengwen, the head of the house, and the chief eunuch of the sanitation department. His real name is Li Chuanfu!"
"Chen Shengwen?" Xiao Ran's eyebrows twitched immediately.In fact, since he was reborn until now, he has never had anything to do with this Chief Manager Chen. Although they are both managers, they each perform their own duties, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so they don't know much about him.
Another point is that Chen Shengwen can get into the throne of chief executive. It is conceivable that he will not be a simple role, and the city is extremely deep.On weekdays, he was even more cautious and unassuming, which was the main reason why Xiao Ran didn't care much about him.
But it is absolutely certain that Chen Shengwen must have something to do with this matter!
The eunuch's so-called apprenticeship does not refer to learning martial arts, but it is just a situation, so as to hug a thick leg.If the master is very NB, then the apprentice can only flatter and flatter.This Chen Shengwen is the only official manager in the palace, and Li Chuanfu is his only apprentice, so he dare not hide such a big matter as killing the princess from him.In fact, it is impossible for a chief eunuch to have such courage. The biggest possibility is that Chen Shengwen is behind the scenes.
But this Chen Shengwen, how could he eat the bear heart and leopard courage.How dare you attack the golden branches and jade leaves?In addition, Ning Wei has nothing to do with the world and has lost her memory. What is it for? Is it worth him taking such a big risk?Logically speaking, even though he is the manager, he shouldn't make such a crazy move.Could it be that there is someone behind him?
There is a small doubt: Li Chuanfu is the eunuch of the Sansao Department, no matter where she comes from, Princess Wei can't match her.What method did he use to bring Ning Wei out of the palace? ...
Things became more and more confusing.Li Chuanfu was Chen Shengwen's apprentice, if something like this happened, if it was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice or the Department of Criminal Justice, Chen Shengwen would naturally be to blame, and nine out of ten he would lose his head.But Xiao Ran didn't intend to do that.The reason is simple, Chen Shengwen poisoned Li Chuanfu when he was out of the palace, which means he must have prepared for the worst.For this kind of people, torture is likely to have no effect.
The most reliable way is to find a way to investigate in secret.But where to start?To monitor Chen Shengwen?Or send Ning Wei back to the palace and lead the snake out of the cave?After careful consideration for a long time, none of these methods seemed safe enough.Just when they were about to reach a stalemate, an unexpected thing happened!
The Forbidden City is under martial law!
The old alley is just behind the Dongmen building, when Xiao Ran and the others were going back to Xiao's mansion, they passed Xuanwumen.Just watched a group of officers and soldiers with live ammunition rushing towards the Forbidden City and quickly drove past.Xiao Ran was taken aback, for such a major event as dispatching the imperial army, there must be a letter from the empress dowagers of the two palaces, why didn't he receive any news in advance?Just when he was puzzled, another group of officers and soldiers passed by, and the leader was Cheng Tong, a school of Dianjun.Xiao Ran quickly called him to stop.Pulling it aside, he said straight away: "What happened?"
"Your Excellency doesn't know?" Cheng Tong was stunned for a moment, then turned pale in shock, and said with a slap on his thigh, "It's broken! It's probably a fake imperial decree from that son of a bitch Rong Lu! I sent someone to deliver a letter to you, why? Haven't received it yet?"
Without waiting for questioning, Cheng Tong had already said something like popping beans, which surprised Xiao Ran.It turned out that Rong Lu passed down the order of the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces, ordering the pro-military guards to surround the Forbidden City quickly.Because this Yizhi was stamped with the two big seals of Yushang and Tongdaotang at the same time.So Jing Shou took it for granted that it was the order of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, and was immediately called to mobilize the rifle battalion to enter the city.Because of the disappearance of the princess just happened, even Cheng Tong didn't doubt it this time, but he was still extra cautious.Send someone to deliver the letter to the Xiao Mansion quickly.But Xiao Ran was in the old alley at this time, so he didn't receive it at all!
Cixi launched!
This signal flashed across Xiao Ran's heart for an instant.But after thinking about it for a while, it didn't feel quite right.With her current power, it is still not enough to shake Ci'an and Yigou to realize the threat of Ci'an and Xiao Ran to her, but it is still too early to start now.
But if it wasn't for her, who would have such great ability and courage?Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat again: the matter of assassinating Princess Ning Wei has not yet come to light, and such an accident happened, is there any connection between the two?
With no time to think, Xiao Ran immediately ordered Duan Xingnian to leave the city quickly, summoned the Daxingshan troops, and hurried to the palace himself.If it is really Rong Lu who is falsely preaching the imperial decree, then Ci'an is in a very dangerous situation now!Cheng Tong led only a small team of about a hundred people from the Rifle Battalion, while Jing Shou's big team had already arrived at the palace.It is necessary to get in touch with Jing Shou before the overall launch, so that Cixi's plot can be crushed!
Because Cheng Tong was in charge of practicing firearms, he had great prestige among the soldiers.With a wave of arms, the team followed Xiao Ran and rushed to the palace.But not far away, Xiao Ran suddenly stopped, and Cheng Tong said in surprise: "What about your lord? No matter how late it is, it will be too late!"
"When I was teaching you the sniper course, how should an excellent sniper determine the sniper target?"
"Ah?" Cheng Tong was taken aback for a moment, wondering what time it was, why did your lord still have the heart to ask this! "The first target is the enemy sniper..."
"Damn! If Rong Lu really did it, how could he not get rid of me, the most threatening opponent first! Go back to Xiao Mansion!!!"
Ci'an is the commander who gives orders, so Xiao Ran is naturally her backbone and her most powerful support.Ci'an can be brought down only by killing Xiao Ran. Cixi and Ronglu will not be ignorant of this simple truth.That is to say, once a move is made, Xiao Ran will be the first to be pointed at, not Empress Dowager Ci'an!
Cheng Tong immediately broke out in cold sweat, and stammered: "However, the orders received by the relatives seem to have nothing to do with your lord's house..."
"Rong Lu is also in charge of the infantry yamen! He is also the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the commander of the guards. He can even transfer the guards of the big house, and he has more than one soldier in his hand!"
Xiao Ran was burning with anxiety.As long as he does not fall into Ronglu's hands, Ci'an will not be in danger for a while.But the Xiao Mansion is different. Xueyao is about to give birth, and if a group of wives and an old lady fall into Rong Lu's hands, the consequences will be disastrous!Especially when he thought of beating up Ronglu at Shenwumen last time, this guy must have private anger, it's hard to say what despicable means will be used!
He quickly rushed to Yuqian'er Alley, and Xiao Ran's eyes were completely dark.Countless Qing soldiers armed with live ammunition have already surrounded the Xiao Mansion layer by layer, and nothing can get through!A small group of vigilant Qing soldiers at the entrance of the alley discovered the traces of Xiao Ran and others, immediately pulled the bolt of their guns and shouted orders, and at the same time blew their horns.The officers and soldiers inside poured out like a tide, and Cheng Tong's eyes turned red immediately, and he shouted, "Brothers, kill me!"
"Slow!" Xiao Ran stretched out his hands and stopped Cheng Tong.The officers and soldiers besieging Xiao's mansion numbered at least a thousand, even if the No. [-] brother was possessed by a god, he would definitely not be able to resist it.Besides, since Rong Lu was definitely targeting him this time, the entire capital should be sealed off. Even if he escaped from Yuqian'er Alley, where could he hide?Xiao Ran took a deep breath, and said: "Send someone to notify Tongran Tang to release the shopkeeper and destroy all accounts! Turn around immediately, find Liu Fu Jingshou, and ask him to contact Mei Liangfu, the first-class guard in the palace, and prepare to attack inside and outside, and seize the money. The Forbidden City! Cheng Tong, you lead your troops and ambushes at the east gate. Once the brothers from Daxing Mountain kill you, immediately seize the east gate. No matter what, you must rescue my wife and children!"
Cheng Tong's eyes turned red, and he said anxiously, "My lord, you..."
"It's too late! If it's too late, it might really be a pot for that stinky woman, Cixi! Catch me quickly and hand me over to Rong Lu, so that you can escape."
"Yes, but..." "Do it!!!"

Haha, Brother Xiao, are you safe?If there is a mistake, please forgive me! "
"How dare you! Brother Rong is always well? I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you!"
"you are welcome!"
"Good talk good talk!"
……
If it wasn't for Xiao Ran's heavy bondage, the two of them would have been closer than brothers.Rong Lu held Xiao Ran's arm, greeted his relatives with warm smiles; Xiao Ran didn't even care, as if the Qing soldiers with live ammunition in front of him had nothing to do with him at all.
"Brother Xiao, it will be much easier if you come here." Rong Lu blinked and said with a smile, "I heard that the wives in the house are beautiful, virtuous and dignified, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces have issued an order , Summoned into the palace to talk. However, Mrs. He is not hesitant, and she is making a fuss inside. In this way, I am afraid that my brother will not be able to deal with business, so I will trouble my brother to persuade him, I wonder if it is possible?"
"Brother Rong has an order, An dare not obey."
While speaking, he entered Xiao's mansion, walked through the main hall to the back house, and the courtyard was surrounded by three floors inside and outside.Javelins, Riflemen, Archers, and Pikemen lined up, as if they were facing an enemy.There are five or six cannons erected in front of the door, the dark muzzles pointing directly at the inner house, and the gunners are holding the torches that must be stripped and crackling, intently on guard.In front of the gate of the courtyard were piled up the corpses of a dozen Qing soldiers, all of whom were shot to the head and killed with one shot.
