At the same time the assassin came down, the guards and Yin Guan in the inn also raised their swords and stepped forward.
Weapons blend, swords and swords shadow.
It's the sound of metal colliding.
The man in black did not have the upper hand.
However, one of the men in black suddenly ran into the half-demolition warehouse. When Jing Rong saw it, he immediately chased in.
Two swords confrontation!
After a few rounds, the man in black was somewhat defeated, and Jing Rong immediately kicked him in the chest.
The man slammed into the wall from behind.
Jing Rong didn't kill him immediately, but just said, "This king knew that you would definitely come."
Uh
The man opened his eyes with a little surprise.
did not speak.
Jing Rong looked at the wall, pointed at the hidden grid with her sword in hand, "You guys... are trying to destroy this hidden grid."
Be sure!
The man still didn't speak, clutching his chest and coughing up blood.
Jing Rong pressed towards him step by step, "You have stolen the disaster relief money, you are already enemies of the imperial court, and you also intend to assassinate this king, adding another level of sin, and now, you want to destroy this secret space and cover up your guilt. Crime, today, this king wants to see what you can do."
The sword in his hand was already on the man's neck.
"Tell me, who are you guys?"
"Only the dead deserve to know."
Uh!
That voice was very familiar.
Jing Rong's eyes followed the man's left hand, one sleeve was empty.
Broken arm!
Is he... Zhao Huai
"Are you Zhao Huai?"
Jing Rong immediately tore off his mask.
The face covered under the mask, with a beard and rough facial features, shows the majesty and vicissitudes accumulated over the years.
Sure enough, it was Zhao Huai!
Zhao Huai's mouth was full of blood, even though the sword was on his neck, he was not afraid at all, instead he sneered at Jing Rong.
"Kill if you want to kill!"
"Why who are you? What's your involvement with the disaster relief silver?"
"You know I'm not afraid of death, and you know it's impossible to get what you want from me."
"Don't think that I let you die when you were in Gao Shanzhai, and now I won't kill you." The sword in his hand lifted up and cut a slit in Zhao Huai's neck.
Zhao Huai laughed with a bloody mouth, "You better kill me, or one day, I will definitely kill you."
Four eyes meet!
There was no fear in those eyes, but a deep hatred and murderous intent.
Why exactly
Jing Rong's wrist was hard, and he really meant to kill him, but he couldn't do it.
At this time-
A figure came out out of nowhere, kicked away the sword that was on Zhao Huai's neck very quickly, took Zhao Huai, ran out, jumped on the roof, and disappeared.
When the men in black outside saw this, they all fled.
The guards were going to chase after him.
"Stop chasing."
People stop!
Jing Rong stood there for a long time, looking at the corpses in the yard, but did not speak for a long time.
Attendant Lin came in a hurry, and was frightened by the scene in the yard. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked Jingrong, "Your Highness, you... are you all right?"
No answer!
"Who on earth dares to assassinate the prince?" He was frightened.
This is simply killing him!
First, there was a hidden case on the wall, and now there is an assassin's assassination. Thinking about it, I can't do this official position!
Not only can it be done, but it may even be fatal.
Thinking of this, his stomach tightened!
It was at this time that Lang Bo came back.
Seeing the traces of moving in the yard, "Your Highness, this..."
interrupt!
"What did you find?"
Reported, "I found it."
"Say!"
"Then Master Xiao came from the imperial residence in Shanhuai County. No one knows what he did in the past. Because he had no relatives, he didn't have a funeral, and no one buried him, and sent the body directly to the Yizhuang Village. So my subordinates went to Yizhuang to ask again, and the guards of Yizhuang said they buried it, but they dug the tomb and found that it was empty, and that person was killed by bombing."
"not dead?"
"According to the description of the person guarding Yizhuang, there is a scar on Master Xiao's arm."
"Um?"
"Coincidentally, the old man in the Si family also has a scar on his hand, which his subordinates saw with their own eyes."
Si family!
It seems that this disaster relief is no small matter.
Jing Rong thought about it and came to a conclusion, "So, the Si family made preparations before the disaster relief silver was distributed, and arranged for his own people to build this wall with a hidden grid, and use the money he transported to the inn by himself. Goods, take this opportunity to smuggle the annual disaster relief silver from that secret compartment, and the person who went to the Si's house and disappeared also used such a mechanism to disappear in that room."
"This matter is definitely the work of the Si family, my lord, why don't you send someone to arrest them."
"This king said, catch the thief and see the stolen goods!"
No evidence, how to arrest
Lang Bo: "But now, I don't even know where that batch of silver is hidden."
"It's in the Si family's organ!" Jing Rong said, "As long as you find a way to open the organ, everything will be revealed."
"But how did this mechanism start? An empty wall with nothing on and off."
Yes!
It is impossible to open it by itself.
Jing Rong turned back to the room, and Lang Bo followed.
He was standing in front of that wall.
"Since they sent people here to destroy the wall, it can be seen that there must be something in the wall."
The next moment, Lang Bo pressed and tapped around the dark grid on the wall, but found nothing.
"What the hell is it? The old man who designed this thing is a genius. He is hundreds of times more amazing than the people who designed the institutions outside Gaoshanzhai."
Uh!
But Jing Rong didn't think much, just asked him, "Tell me again, what did you see outside the house that night?"
He recalled carefully, "Looking from the shadow, I only saw that the old man blew out one of the candles, and then carried a candlestick and walked in. The light did not disappear at once, but gradually became more and more Weak, as if... I have been walking inside, but the room is very small, no matter how we go, the light and shadow cannot go farther and farther."
"Light?"
Figure it out.
He asked again, "What did the people who demolished the wall just do?"
"I didn't do anything strange, I just took a sledgehammer to smash the iron wall down, but before the hammer was swung down, the hidden box opened by itself."
"No!" Jing Rong frowned.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Without further ado, Jing Rong suddenly jumped onto the dark grid and jumped from here to the next room.
Lang Bo quickly followed!
I saw Jing Rong looking for it in that room.
But there is nothing strange about moving all the movable things, but there is nothing that can activate the dark grid.
