The lights in Fangfei Garden were already on. When the breeze blew, colorful lanterns swayed everywhere, and from a distance it looked like a sea of stars. Shen Chen stood at the railing with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside. When he heard the noise, he turned around and smiled at Wei An: "Are you here?"
Wei An's hair was still a little damp, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, making it difficult to see her emotions, but her voice was brisk: "Second Master Xie may be even more terrifying than we thought."
She sat down in front of Shen Chen neatly, frowning slightly: "No matter what, even if Second Master Xie hates Third Master Xie, he shouldn't specially train a group of death warriors, right?"
Raising assassins is a huge taboo and a serious crime.
Several former noble families ended up being exterminated because of the mistake of raising assassins.
Master Xie already has such a detailed plan, why does he still need to raise a group of assassins
Moreover, raising a group of death warriors is not a matter of a day or two. Each of these people is worth ten men at once, and it is very difficult to train them, and it will cost an enormous amount of financial and material resources.
How did Mr. Xie do it
The old man of the Xie family passed away four years ago... ... When he was still alive, it was impossible for the second master Xie to bypass the old man Xie, the one in power, to use such a huge amount of silver.
In other words, the training of these warriors began only after the death of the old man of the Xie family...
It seemed that he was two years late in plotting against Mr. Xie San.
What did he do in the first two years to be able to train a group of death warriors so that he could start playing tricks on Master Xie San and his family like monkeys
"Or should I say, he got hooked up with someone." Shen Chen took over Wei An's words, also frowning, leaning back on the gooseneck chair, retracting his gaze and looking at Wei An: "The only survivor left, I have interrogated him, he is a true assassin, he would kill himself as soon as he got the chance."
The Linjiang Palace also has trained such death squads.
Just a limited number.
Only King Linjiang can command so many people, and he and Chu Jingwu rarely even see this group of people.
But Mr. Xie also has it.
This is really worth pondering.
Wei An restrained his expression, "They were unwilling to surrender at first, but He Sheng and Xue Song were not easy to deal with, and they had no way out, so they wanted to commit suicide by taking poison."
"This is the only one who survived. I asked Xuesong to strangle his throat and make him spit out the poison pill. He was able to stay alive."
No wonder you get all muddy.
Shen Chen pursed his lips and said softly: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Now it’s more than just the Xie family’s grudges that involve Wei An.
Master Xie is so complicated and difficult to deal with. They offended him by accident and ruined his good deeds. I'm afraid he wants to kill them next.
"Master Xie is a little too capable." Wei An hummed and said, "Although this person is dead, there are still some clues left. They changed their clothes before coming here, and put on the clothes worn by dock workers. These clothes... were distributed by the boat owners at the dock to the coolies. They charged them two cents for a set of clothes. These people must have bought them from the coolies. You can ask Xuesong to find out if anyone has bought clothes from the boat workers. There are more than a dozen sets in total, which is not a small amount."
If they want to buy something, they will pay a lot and it will always leave some traces.
Shen Chen agreed.
Han Feng knocked on the door outside and reported: "My Lord, Princess, Master Xie and the others are here."
Wei An raised his eyes.
The road ahead is difficult, but fortunately there is hope.
Just as she didn't know the secret of the Xie family and lost the opportunity, she still saved her brother and others.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and whispered to Xie Liangcheng, "Brother Shi."
This was the name Xie Liangcheng asked her to call him before. He said he had no sister, and she saved Xie Liangqing, so he treated her as his sister from then on.
Everything is the same as in the previous life.
Xie Liangcheng looked a little disheveled. Even though he had washed and dressed, the situation he had been in over the past two months was too difficult. A difficult environment is always particularly tiring.
He smiled at Wei An, responded, pulled Xie Liangqing, who was cowering behind him, to his side, pointed at Wei An and asked him patiently, "Who is this?"
The weight that Xie Liangcheng had gained back with great difficulty had been lost again during the two months of escape. He looked at Wei An with a dull look for a long time, then hesitantly called out "sister".
He is mentally retarded, no different from a three or four-year-old child. When he smiles, his eyes are clear and clean without any distractions.
Even if there was something wrong with Mr. Xie's mother, or even if Mr. Xie was indirectly wrong, the child was innocent.
Mr. Xie was so cruel as to do such a thing.
Wei An responded immediately, and when he saw him approaching, he touched his head.
Shen Chen had already asked them to sit down, but Zhao Qi didn't dare to do so. He knelt on the ground and apologized to Wei An.
Wei An gently helped him up.
Xie Liangcheng was Zhao Qi's old master, so it was reasonable for him to go and rescue Xie Liangcheng.
And if it weren't for him, I'm afraid the Xie brothers might not have survived.
But Zhao Qi could not get up, and stubbornly apologized to Wei An: "I went to Yongzhou Prefecture without informing you, which must have caused you a lot of trouble..."
Wei An interrupted him directly, handing Xie Liangqing a piece of glutinous rice cake while shaking his head: "I know you had already discovered that Mr. Xie had sent someone to follow you. Not to mention that you didn't have a chance, I'm afraid that if you decided to stay and wait for me to come back from Puci Temple, you would really miss the opportunity. Get up."
Zhao Qi pursed his lips, kowtowed three times to Wei An, then stood up and stood aside waiting for Wei An to ask questions.
Xie Liangcheng's face was pale, but he still forced himself to tell Wei An everything that had happened along the way.
He rushed there after receiving the news that Xie Liangqing had encountered robbers in Yongzhou Prefecture. He took his father's business card and planned to seek help from the Yongzhou prefect. However, as soon as he entered Yongzhou, he was betrayed by the local guide and fell into the hands of bandits.
He was not ill-treated afterwards.
The bandits admired him as a scholar and asked him to stay and help them keep accounts.
His younger brother was in their hands, and the servants around him were gone. He could only stay there and pretend to be nice to the bandits.
Who would have thought that in just a month, this group of bandits would be surrounded and suppressed by the government.
When the bandits were fleeing in all directions, no one paid attention to him. He originally planned to escape, but was caught by the officers and was identified as an accomplice by the captured bandits.
The servant who had not been seen by his side before came out to testify against him, saying that he was Xie Liangcheng, the eldest son of the third branch of the Xie family in Jingxi.
