"Marquis Wenxin is dead! He was killed last night!"

"Marquis Wenxin? Isn't that the nephew of the empress of the dynasty? Who was so bold as to attack Marquis Wenxin?"

"I heard that it was done by a monster. It was invulnerable. People present said that the internal organs of Marquis Wenxin were all taken out. The scene of his death was extremely scary."

"Not only Marquis Wenxin, but His Highness the Fourth Prince was also assassinated last night. It seems to be the same monster. There are so many masters in His Highness's house who have never taken it down."

"It's a troubled year, it's a troubled year! Monsters are running rampant in this majestic merchant capital. What on earth is going on in this world!"

"Have you noticed that the deceased Marquis Wenxin and the assassinated Fourth Highness both attended the banquet at Huaqing Pool that day. Don't forget that at the banquet that day, a powerful man was also killed by a monster. This can’t be a coincidence, someone must be killing people and silencing them!”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Rumors abounded in the great commercial capital. What happened last night spread quickly.

Marquis Wenxin is dead. The most important thing is that Marquis Wenxin is not an ordinary nobleman, but the queen's nephew.

In addition, the Fourth Highness was assassinated, which meant that someone was going to take action against the Changsun family.

"I see."

Dashang Palace, Weiyang Palace, Empress Changsun received the news from outside the palace. She was shocked at first, but quickly reacted, closed her eyes weakly, and said, "No wonder, he wants to hide it."

"It's Professor Li!"

Next to him, Murong also realized something and said with a shocked expression.

"Ah."

Empress Changsun nodded and responded, "Your brother has become an outcast."

"Then my brother was assassinated?" Murong suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked.

"Pretend."

Queen Changsun replied, "If one dies, the murderer's target cannot be determined. Only two can let everyone know who the monster is going to deal with."

Murong's face darkened and he responded, "Chang Sun, and the people at the banquet that day."

"Yes."

Queen Changsun nodded and said, "Now, those people in the Great Shang Capital City are in danger of themselves again. Moreover, if the Changsun family has a Marquis Wenxin die, the suspicion will be further eliminated, and your brother's position will also increase." Sit tighter and tighter, now, everyone is a victim in the same boat.”

"Why cousin?" Murong asked puzzledly.

Queen Changsun was silent. After a moment, she stood up and walked to the desk in front, opened a box, took a few pieces of letter paper, turned back, handed it over, and said, "This is the information sent from outside the palace a few days ago. "

Murong took the letter and after reading the contents, he looked shocked and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? My cousin looks so honest. He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken on weekdays. How is this possible?" Do something like this.”

"People should not be judged by their appearance."

Empress Changsun sighed softly, "After receiving this information, I, like you, couldn't believe it."

"Mother, what should I do now?"

Murong put away the letter and asked solemnly.

"Nothing to do, just pretend you don't know anything."

Empress Changsun's eyes turned cold and she said, "It's worth killing Wenxinhou so that your brother can secure his position!"

Murong couldn't help but tremble when he heard the chill in his mother's words.

"Do you think your mother is a little cold and heartless?"

Empress Changsun said softly, "Murong, you have to remember that big things don't stick to trivial matters. Don't say that your cousin and the others don't know that Li Jiaoxi did this. Even if they know, at this time, we must help him suppress it. When necessary, we will even take action personally to eliminate the root causes and eliminate all hidden dangers!"

After listening to his mother's teachings, Murong was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "My daughter will remember it."

"This move is really good."

Queen Changsun looked outside the palace and said, "Now you have a reason to leave the palace. Li Jiaoxi is indeed an unparalleled scholar of my great merchant."

"Mother, if Professor Li told us this plan in advance, would you still agree?" Murong asked softly.

"meeting."

Empress Changsun nodded without hesitation, "This time, he hid it not from me, but from your brother. The result now is the best!"

and many more.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun seemed to have thought of something. She took some letters on the table and said, "No, Professor Li didn't hide anything from us. He told us the person he wanted to kill a long time ago. This information is from Feng Yu." It was such a coincidence that I sent someone to deliver it, and I understand that Professor Li did not kill him first and then show off, but sold us a favor."

"What the Queen Mother means is that this information was actually collected by the Li family, and then, with the help of my cousin, it was sent to us in advance." Murong said in surprise.

"Not bad!"

Empress Changsun nodded and responded in a cold tone, "It seems that your cousin's death is more valuable. It is better for Li Jiaoxi to kill him now and let him pave the way for your imperial brother than to have your cousin die in the future." It is much better to expose what you have done and discredit the entire Changsun family."

The death of one person not only allowed Bai'er to further secure his position, but also gave Rong'er a reason to leave the palace openly. In addition, it once again sounded the alarm to other royal dignitaries and eliminated some potential dangers of the Changsun family. , her nephew really deserved to die!

"daughter."

After thinking for a short time, Empress Changsun gathered her thoughts and said, "Your cousin is dead now. Please leave the palace for a few days to pay homage to your cousin."

"Okay." Murong responded softly.

at the same time.

In the inner courtyard of Li Garden, Li Ziye, the initiator of everything, was sitting in the courtyard, playing chess with Nan'er.

However, this time it is not backgammon, but serious Go.

Behind Nan'er, Holy Master Yunying, Wenren Yuexiu and a group of people were sitting there, gesticulating and helping with advice.

"Little boy."

On the side, Xuan Ming reported on the arrangements for the past few days, chattering like a fly.

Li Ziye listened patiently while playing chess with a group of people in front of him.

"Boy Ziye, you must concentrate on playing chess and respect your opponent!"

Holy Lord Yunying saw someone's absent-minded look and scolded him angrily.

"Oh."

Li Ziye responded casually, "You win a round first and then we'll talk."

"That's it, young master, do you think we need any other arrangements?"

After explaining all the arrangements, Xuan Ming looked at the young master in front of him and asked.

"Add one more person, Mr. Zhang Donglu Zhang."

Li Ziye said in a calm tone, "This trip is dangerous and we need someone to plan the trip. If he doesn't go, I won't be sure."

"Master Zhang?"

Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements as soon as possible."

"One, maybe not enough."

Li Ziye murmured softly, "I don't know if they have time or not."
