Warm fragrance cloud around

The whistle for contact came from the direction of Jianyuan's waiting bedroom. Cheng Jiangyun heard the message from Ah Yi, and immediately put on his outer robe and hurried over there.

At this time, a large group of people gathered in the yard of Marquis Jianyuan, and the fighting had stopped. At a glance, there were three groups of people.

Standing at the innermost side was a masked man wearing a dark gray robe. He was a little short and could easily be overlooked in the crowd. At this time, his hands were tied behind his back, and his cloudy eyes exposed outside revealed a strong Strong resentment and resentment.

The masked man was subdued by a dozen or so men in black. Although they were dressed in black, they were not masked. All of them had dignified faces. They were all from Dali Temple. As soon as the man appeared, he quickly subdued him.

Surrounding the outermost layer are the guards of the Hou Mansion. Many of them have just been woken up from their sleep, and they are completely at a loss for everything in front of them. Is today a special day? Why are there so many people suddenly appearing in the Hou Mansion? uninvited guest?The guards all looked dumbfounded.

There was such a big commotion in the yard, Hou Ye was naturally awakened, and he was also at a loss for a moment because of the situation in front of him. Seeing Cheng Jiangyun arriving so quickly, he also had some guesses in his heart, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "This Was it your plan?"

"Father worried too much. The son was just worried about his father's safety, so he arranged a few people to protect him." Cheng Jiangyun replied calmly, "Fortunately, the painstaking efforts were not in vain, and the gangster was indeed caught."

Jian Yuanhou pondered for a moment with a gloomy face, and waved his hands to make all the guards of the Hou Mansion retreat. Cheng Jiangyun also directed the people in Dali Temple to disperse. Everyone's eyes fell on the masked man in gray who was surrounded in the innermost layer.

Cheng Jiangyun tore off the man's face scarf, "Does father recognize this man?"

Jian Yuanhou pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't know."

The man struggled to look at Jian Yuanhou, with a fierce look of resentment in his eyes, "Old thief Cheng, you have broken your promise, you will die!" Jian Yuanhou lowered his head and did not look at him.

"Since father doesn't know him, he will be taken over by Dali Temple." Cheng Jiangyun winked and was about to ask his subordinates to take the man away. Jian Yuanhou struggled for a long time before he hesitated and said, "You first, let them all retreat first." .”

Cheng Jiangyun nodded and looked around, Ah Yi tied the man firmly with a hemp rope, stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth, and kidnapped him and the others from Dali Temple to exit Jianyuanhou's courtyard.

"Father can speak."

Jian Yuanhou gritted his teeth and struggled for a while before slowly saying: "The man just now was the one who killed the assassin."

"What does father have to do with him?"

"It doesn't matter!" Jian Yuanhou yelled, seeing that Cheng Jiangyun was unmoved, he just lowered his voice and said: "He is the killer arranged by Min Chongshan."

"Killer? To kill whom?"

"Didn't you say that he killed the assassin!" Jian Yuanhou's face turned green and pale, "Min Chongshan knew that someone wanted to harm me, so he arranged for him to protect me. Killing people was a last resort."

Cheng Jiangyun grinned, "So, he broke into the Marquis's mansion tonight to protect his father?"

"That's not clear," Jian Yuanhou squeezed his right hand and lowered his head slightly, "Maybe Min Chongshan sent him to deliver the message."

Cheng Jiangyun saw his demeanor, Shen Sheng continued to ask, "Does father know why he was assassinated?"

Jian Yuanhou immediately shook his head, but seemed a little guilty, "I don't know."

"Seven years ago, Tongji Limin Grain Store, father still remember?"

Jian Yuanhou grinned, as if taken aback, "You, why do you know?"

Why would he know?Cheng Jiangyun suddenly felt very ridiculous. The relationship between father and son was so estranged that he realized for the first time today that his father was such an arrogant and conceited person. Perhaps in the eyes of Jian Yuanhou, everyone in the world is Stupid, only he himself is extremely smart.

There is no need to beat around the bush with such a person. Cheng Jiangyun looked serious and asked seriously: "Father, please tell the truth. Seven years ago, were you greedy for disaster relief food?"

"Bastard, of course not!" Jian Yuanhou blushed with anger, "What kind of person do you think I am! Even if I starve to death, I won't take black-hearted money!"

"Where's Min Chongshan?"

Jian Yuanhou lowered his voice, and his eyes flickered, "He, he just picked the wrong shop when buying grain, and he didn't do his errands well, so it can't be regarded as being greedy."

"So my father concealed it for him? Just because he is the elder brother of the Min family?!"

"Bastard, that's your mother!"

Cheng Jiangyun didn't comment, "Where did Min Chongshan know that someone wanted to assassinate his father?"

"He discovered the assassin's life experience a long time ago. He has always reminded Benhou to be vigilant and arranged for personal protection. He is honest."

"Why did father go to meet the assassin alone?"

"This Marquis only, just wanted to tell him the truth, but who would have thought he wanted to kill someone?" Perhaps thinking of the bloody scene at that time, Jian Yuanhou's face twitched in horror again, "Fortunately, Min Chongshan sent someone in time , or you boy will wait to collect my body!" At the end, he gave Cheng Jiangyun a dissatisfied look.

"In that case, why did my father prevent me from investigating?"

"How can I lose face in front of my son? I don't want face?!" Jian Yuanhou roared angrily, blowing his nose and staring, "They are all my sons, and you are the least worried!"

Cheng Jiangyun: "..." He now wonders if his father is out of his mind.

Seeing that there were no useful clues, Cheng Jiangyun led the people of Dali Temple to escort the man away from the Hou's mansion. When he left, he felt a subtle sense of relief in his heart.Maybe his father wasn't the deep-minded and ruthless person he imagined, he was just a little... stupid.Although it sounded outrageous, this unexpected discovery really made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The group returned to Dali Temple and took the man into prison without interrogation for the time being.After dawn, Lin Junnuan came to work and immediately heard the good news.

"Have you caught the murderer?"

There was a strong excitement in her eyes, which made Cheng Jiangyun happy, "Yes."

"Can I see him?"

"of course."

The man was imprisoned in the most dank dungeon, his hands and feet were tied with heavy iron chains, he just sat in a corner of the dungeon with a dull expression, hardly any resistance, his behavior was very different from when he was just arrested.

Cheng Jiangyun ordered someone to open the cell door, guarded Lin Junnuan behind him, and slowly approached the man. The man slightly raised his head and glanced at the two of them, but there was no other reaction.

Lin Junnuan was impatient, pushed Cheng Jiangyun away and walked quickly to the man, only looked at him for a few moments, then frowned, sighed disappointedly: "The wrong person was caught."

The man only had a cloudy body odor mixed with body odor, and did not have the disgusting smell of cigarettes.

"Are you sure?" Cheng Jiangyun frowned, suddenly feeling ominous.

"Of course." Lin Junnuan nodded his nose, "Smell can never deceive anyone, he is not the murderer of Ah Min."

Hearing their conversation, the man sitting by the wall slowly raised his head, with a sinister smile on his face, "You didn't arrest the wrong person, I was indeed a murderer, and it was the one who instructed me to commit the murder. Jianyuan Hou Cheng Keshen," he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Cheng Jiangyun, "I am not the only witness, Master Cheng, please don't be biased."

what's the situation?Lin Junnuan looked at Cheng Jiangyun in a daze, and the man continued like turning his back on the guest: "The villain is ashamed, he once committed many evil deeds under the instigation of Jian Yuanhou, now that he has repented, he will definitely confess all his crimes and atone for himself. I have heard for a long time that Master Cheng is impartial and selfless, so he will not favor his father."

As if to add fuel to the flames, one of his subordinates excitedly ran over to report to Cheng Jiangyun: "The Jingzhao Mansion received a report that someone said that he had bumped into a suspicious person who was suspected of being the murderer and left the assassination scene. Master Jingzhaoyin took him away Here we come." His subordinate also spat at the man in the cell in relief, "Now that the witnesses are complete, I'm sorry you can't escape!"

Cheng Jiangyun's heart sank instantly.With such a coincidence of timing, this might be a long-planned trap targeting Jianyuanhou, or even the entire Jianyuanhou's mansion.

Just as he thought about it, Jing Zhaoyin came to Cheng Jiangyun with witnesses as if asking for credit, "Congratulations, Mr. Cheng, the case will be solved soon, no, there are witnesses."

Standing behind him was a middle-aged man with a silly smile. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked honest and reliable.

Cheng Jiangyun looked at the witness expressionlessly: "You said you saw the murderer?"

The witness hurriedly knelt down to salute him, with a strong local accent: "Yes, my lord."

"Stand up and talk, what's your name, where do you live, when and where did you meet the murderer?"

"My name is Wang Liu. I sell cabbage in a vegetable market. I passed by Dongping Lane at noon the day before yesterday. I saw a man covered in blood sneaking over the wall and leaving. I heard that there was a murder case later." Dongping Lane is the alley where Jianyuan Hou was assassinated.

"Do you still remember the face of the murderer?"

The witness scratched his head and thought for a while, "I'm stupid, I can't explain clearly, if I see him again, I will definitely recognize him."

The man in the cell snorted softly, "Why bother, let him see and I'll know."

The witness followed the prestige and shrank when he saw the man's face, "That's right, that's him I saw! Gray clothes, short stature, sly eyebrows, and a pair of protruding ears, he doesn't look like a good man! "

Lin Junnuan also realized something was wrong, "Look carefully, is it really him?"

"No mistake, I never speak big words!" The witness patted his chest and assured, "Adults can go to the vegetable market and ask, everyone knows my reputation!"

Jingzhaofu also said: "The lower officials are worried that he will talk nonsense and waste Lord Cheng's time. I have sent someone to the vegetable market to ask about it before. This person has a very good evaluation in the market. They say that he is honest and kind. He has something to say. Never lie or cheat."

A sinister smile appeared on the face of the man in the cell again, and he raised his voice and said to Jing Zhaoyin: "Master Jing Zhaoyin has learned that the criminal has confessed his crimes, but Master Cheng seems to have other difficulties, and he keeps saying that he arrested the wrong person. How about you give a review?"

Jing Zhaoyin opened his mouth wide, looking at Cheng Jiangyun's dark face beside him, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if he had accidentally done something wrong.
