"Have you heard? Zhao Zhifu committed suicide in fear of crime, Mr. Wang was wronged." A commoner said to another commoner.

"It caused a sensation in Luoyang, how could you not know it? Think about how good an upright official Mr. Zhao is? He was framed. Zhao Ming is really worse than a dog." Another commoner couldn't help cursing.

"But this time, I would like to thank the son-in-law. The son-in-law has been ill for the past few days and even sent a follower to handle the case. If it weren't for the son-in-law, Mr. Wang might still be charged with infidelity."

"It makes sense. If the son-in-law is an official, he is a good official. Who said the son-in-law is a dude?"

"..."

"..."

"Young Master Xiao, please."

As soon as Xiao Chengyan came out of the mansion, he was surrounded by a group of wealthy businessmen who invited them to the banquet.I didn't expect this group of businessmen to be so well-informed, they were just a mob.

Xiao Chengyan picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

"Young Master Xiao, you can drink a lot." Some wealthy businessmen praised him one after another.

"Young Master Xiao, I wonder how the son-in-law's illness is?" A fat middle-aged man in a blue Chinese dress got up and asked.

"My son-in-law is much better, thank you all for your concern." In fact, I didn't tell too many people when I sent Luo Er away, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.Xiao Chengyan secretly looked at the group of people at the banquet, except for the Su family.

"Then I can rest assured." The man nodded, put down his glass and sat down.

A group of people were just asking questions.Xiao Chengyan was puzzled, it must not be easy for this group of people to find their own purpose, but... no one mentioned it after half an hour.

"Young Master Xiao." A thinner man got up and held a wine glass and said to Xiao Chengyan, "If the son-in-law can protect... I'll wait for you, then...".

"The son-in-law is not interested in this, but the emperor is." He picked up his teacup and took a sip.Drinking alcohol is easy to make mistakes, especially in such an unfamiliar environment.

Everyone understood what Xiao Chengyan said, and they looked at each other.He smiled tacitly.

The end of the banquet is approaching Xu time.Night fell.East Street was deserted.Xiao Chengyan left the restaurant and looked at the sky, only the moonlight was shining.So I decided to walk back to the mansion on foot, but it was quiet.Today, I cleared Lord Wang of his crimes and won over a group of people in Luoyang for the emperor. Now I just need to wait for the new magistrate.I don't know when it will arrive.I don't know what happened to Luo Er.

Suddenly, a group of men in black popped out in front of them.There are about ten people side by side.

"Who are you?" Xiao Chengyan stopped, frowning and looking at them vigilantly.Shen Sheng asked.

"You are a dying person, you talk a lot of nonsense." The leader in black said disdainfully, and said to the people behind him. "Go, kill him."

After receiving the order, the assassins raised their reflective knives and swarmed forward.

Every knife cut straight at Xiao Chengyan.

"Young master, catch it." A deep voice came from behind.

Xiao Chengyan glanced over from the corner of his eye, and quickly caught the gun thrown by the man in black behind him.

What he held in his hand was his own Beaulieu Golden Spear, which was bestowed upon him by his master.Tighten the barrel of the gun in your hand.The corners of his mouth were raised, and he looked at everyone with sharp eyes. "You bastard, hurry up and die." After speaking, he waved the body of the gun, and the sharp tip of the gun stabbed at the assassin in a row, and the moves were even more continuous.The assassin was helpless.Every shot went straight to the eyebrows, and after a while, all of them were defeated and fell to the ground without a sound.In the end, there was only one leading assassin who looked dumbfounded at the fallen subordinates.

Xiao Chengyan put the gun directly on the head assassin's neck, "Say, who sent you here."

The leading assassin felt a chill hit his neck, looking at the sneering young man in front of him, his face and clothes were covered with blood.Even more terrified.

"Speak quickly." The cold voice came again.Xiao Chengyan brought the tip of the gun closer to the assassin's neck.

The assassin felt the pain spread in his neck, and then the liquid flowed slowly.The atmosphere did not dare to come out.Beads of sweat trickled down his cheeks.

"My lord...forgive me...Xiao Da...my lord sent me here." The assassin said intermittently.

Xiao Chengyan was not surprised when he heard this, the people sent by his elder brother were not skilled in martial arts, he probably thought that it would be more than enough to kill them.My own life is really worthless to my elder brother.

It's too late to say it's too late.Seeing Xiao Chengyan contemplating for a moment, the leading assassin bent down, bypassed the point of the spear, turned and ran.

Xiao Chengyan was not in a hurry, he bent his knees and forcefully pushed the gun forward, and the gun came out of his hand.Straight to the back of the head assassin through the chest.

"Pfft." The leading assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground head-on.Killed instantly.Xiao Chengyan walked over with a frown, pulled out the gun stuck in the assassin's body and put it behind his back.The bright red blood on the tip of the gun fell drop by drop, Xiao Chengyan didn't care at all, what he cared more about was the person who gave the gun.Jian Mei frowned slightly.

He turned around and looked behind suspiciously, but it was pitch black behind him, who was helping him just now?Is it the same person who delivered the note?The person who can send a gun to him must be someone he knows well.And that voice seemed to be heard somewhere.

Go around the corpses lying on the ground.Keep going.

A few meters away from the entrance of the mansion, there was a young girl in white on the threshold, with her elbows on her knees and her cheeks in her hands, sitting on the stone steps at the entrance of the mansion.

The shadow of Wen Renluo appeared in Xiao Chengyan's mind, "Luo Er." He was overjoyed and ran over directly.When he got closer, he realized that Luo Er, who was not heard, said "Miss Wang." Then he felt secretly lost in his heart, also, if Luo Er came back, he would not want it, since there were only himself and Miss Wang in the mansion.Tomorrow it's better to find a house for Miss Wang, as there are really many troubles living together.Now that I am a man, Miss Wang is still a girl in a boudoir who has not left the court, so I don't want others to gossip.

Wang Anmin slowly opened his half-closed eyelids, and saw Xiao Chengyan standing in front of him covered in blood.I was taken aback.Stand up in surprise.Could it be that he was injured?Why so much blood?

"Miss Wang, why are you here?" Xiao Chengyan asked puzzled.

Wang Anmin looked at Xiao Chengyan quietly, without saying a word for a long time.

Xiao Chengyan touched his face, the blood was already dry.Quickly explained, "Girl, don't be afraid, Xiao Kuan just met an assassin on the way back."

Wang Anmin saw the golden gun behind him, with blood on the tip.Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, thinking he was fine. "Tonight the moon is very round and very bright. An Min will come out to have a look if she doesn't sleep."

Xiao Chengyan looked at the sky, "That's how it is, but girl, don't catch a cold." The weather is not too cold, but there are occasional cool breezes.

Wang Anmin's heart immediately warmed up.

"It's getting late, it's better for the girl to rest early."

Wang Anmin nodded, stepped over the threshold, and walked in.I can't say that I was worried about you so I kept guarding... You are so good, but An Min dare not think about it.

Xiao Chengyan closed the door and walked towards the east courtyard.Back in the room, the room was still filled with the fragrance of Wen Renluo's body.Put the gun on the bed.Then I started to take a bath and change clothes.

"Squeak~" Xiao Chengyan, who was half asleep and half awake in the middle of the night, suddenly woke up when he heard the sound, but he was also lying on the bed, motionless, with his eyes open and scanning, a black shadow at the door was quietly getting closer and closer to him.Under the quilt, Xiao Chengyan clenched his fists tightly, but kept breathing evenly on his face.

The man in black came to the side of the bed to look around, held up the reflective steel knife, and then stabbed heavily.

Xiao Chengyan turned over and turned aside.

The assassin's knife hit the bed directly.When he drew his sword, Xiao Chengyan had already stood up.Xiao Chengyan swept over the moonlight coming in through the window. Seeing that he could not draw out the knife, the assassin simply gave up, took advantage of the situation, and took a few steps back to avoid Xiao Chengyan's attack.

Xiao Cheng also jumped from the bed to the ground.Seeing the situation, the assassin punched him.

Xiao Chengyan protected his head with his arms, raised his knees, and kicked the assassin's legs, and the assassin almost knelt under the force.Xiao Chengyan then kicked the assassin straight in the head with a side kick, and the assassin received a heavy blow before he could dodge.Fall to the edge of the table.Xiao Chengyan followed up and directly stepped on the assassin's chest. The assassin began to resist, but he couldn't break free no matter what.The more he struggled, the harder Xiao Chengyan exerted himself.

"Cough, cough, cough." Finally, he felt difficult to breathe, so he gave up struggling and fell asleep on the ground.

Xiao Chengyan squatted down and stretched out his hand to tear off his veil.A middle-aged man.I haven't seen it myself.Sure enough, another guy who underestimates the enemy. "Who sent you here." This time it was used more than in the previous batch.

The assassin turned his face away.Don't look at Xiao Chengyan.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Chengyan stepped on him suddenly with force.

"Cough, cough, cough." The assassin coughed again.Pointing to Xiao Chengyan's foot on his chest.

Xiao Chengyan glanced at him, then moved his foot away.Waiting for his next words.

"Cough, cough, cough." The assassin continued to cough, touching his chest.

Xiao Chengyan didn't look at him, but came to the side of the bed, put on his boots slowly, not because he was assured that he would not run away, but because he couldn't run away, because he just kicked that leg himself, he may not have recovered yet.Walked over with a smile.He took out the dagger in his boot.Put it next to his neck, "Don't you say it?"

The assassin hesitated for a long time.Only he hesitated.

"Not yet?" Xiao Chengyan didn't bother to waste time.A bone-chilling voice came over.

"Master Xiao." The assassin shook his head.This is the truthful answer.

"Well. How much money did I give you?" The assassin sent by the elder brother was really diligent.

"100 taels."

"..."

On the next day, Xiao Chengyan walked out of the yard carrying the assassin.

"Young Master Xiao, what's the matter?" Wang Anmin watched from afar as Xiao Chengyan tied up a man in black and walked out of the East Courtyard.

"I captured an assassin alive last night, and I'm sending him to the Yamen." Xiao Chengyan grabbed the assassin's collar, and tied the assassin behind his back with a thick rope, making him unable to move.

"Young Master Xiao, is there something wrong?" Shu Yaxin raised it all of a sudden.

"Nothing. Thank you girl for your concern." Xiao Chengyan nodded.All the hidden guards left by the emperor were sent by him to protect Luo Er.When Chen Shi left the room, there were two bodies of men in black outside the courtyard.Who is protecting himself? "By the way, Miss Wang, after I come back from the Yamen today, I plan to arrange a place for the girl."

"An Min lives well, why..."

"Miss, this house is very unsafe, and the new magistrate is coming soon." Xiao Chengyan looked at the assassin in his hand.

Wang Anmin didn't speak for a while.The magistrate is here, are you leaving?He tightened his purse in his sleeve.
