"Today's luck is not bad." Hua Liuli said to Hua Changkong, holding the birthday tumblers and lucky dolls given by the vendors, "If you receive this kind of gift on the first day of the new year, you will have good luck throughout the year."

"Well, my sister is right." Hua Changkong reached out and touched the tumbler and the lucky doll, then sat cross-legged with a serious expression.

"Have you noticed anything?" Hua Changkong asked.

"Those people are coming for me." Hua Liuli didn't understand, "According to normal thinking, even if someone wants to take revenge on the Hua family, the main target should be you, not my daughter." The world always thinks that Erlang is the backbone, There is no reason to let the son not take revenge, but only for the daughter.

Hua Changkong: "You are really my sister."

"That's not right." Hua Liuli put the tumbler and the doll next to her, and poured a cup of tea for Hua Changkong, "Do you have a younger sister who is closer than me?"

"Everyone knows that the three generations of the Hua family have no daughters. You are the only small flower seedling in the hundred acres of woodland. It is also possible to make you the primary target. After all, what is rare is the most valuable." Hua Changkong took the tea cup and drank, " Father and mother gave birth to three sons, which is not uncommon."

Hua Liuli frowned, could it be that Jin Po Kingdom secretly sent someone to take revenge? But the second prince of Jinpo Kingdom was still in Dajin as a hostage, and the Lord of Jinpo Kingdom signed the surrender letter before stopping the battle. If something really happened to her, Jin Poguo would not be afraid of Da Jin's anger and continue to lead troops to attack them and let them be completely defeated

Even if they were not afraid that the Second Prince would die in Dajin, they should be afraid that Dajin would lead troops to attack them again. Now sending someone to plot her plans, is it because the Hua family's beating them wasn't painful enough

This is not in the current interests of Jinpo Kingdom, and the frightened King Jinpo did not dare to do so.

"Have you offended someone in the capital?" Hua Changkong recalled what happened in the past month, glanced at his sister's face, and asked carefully, "Did you have a conflict with any little girl?"

"The heart is separated from the belly, how do you know what others think of me." Hua Liuli shook her head, "These girls in the capital have different personalities, but their minds are very clear. No matter how unhappy they are, they will be petty. It is impossible to do such a thing."

The interpersonal relationship in the capital is very complicated. As long as you dare to do this kind of street kidnapping, you must be prepared to be found out. Such a mindless thing, even the most impulsive Princess Jiamin can't do it.

"Have you ever thought that you broke the assassin's plan to assassinate the prince, and you're hated?" Hua Changkong guessed another possibility, "You accidentally broke the plan to assassinate Lin Huizhi and helped the prince catch the assassin, And Tian Ruidong, whose life was saved by you a few days ago."

"Isn't this all a coincidence?" Hua Liuli felt aggrieved. She noticed that something was wrong with the palace maid, so should she be allowed to get close to the prince

How much trouble would the prince be in if an accident happened under the eyes of their siblings? What's more, the prince is good-looking and careful and gentle, how could she just watch him get hurt

"Before your parents return to Beijing, you should try to go out as little as possible recently." Hua Changkong said, "If you want to go out, take Iris and Yu Rong with you."

"Okay." Hua Liuli nodded, and openly pushed all the invitations at the beginning of the year.

But Hua Changkong can't be as leisurely as Hua Liuli. He not only has to visit those families who have contacts on behalf of his parents, but also has to deal with some literati students. He is too busy to touch the ground.

He participated in Qiuwei in Qinghan Province, where the conditions were harsh, and the overall level of the students was not as good as other places. Even though he did well in Qiuwei, in the eyes of the students in the capital, he was just a taller among the dwarfs.

Some civil servants specially explained that their younger generation should take more care of Hua Changkong. They were originally to deal with their elders, but after they really communicated with Hua Changkong, they were convinced by Hua Changkong's demeanor and became real friends.

The younger generation in the capital didn't know enough about the Hua family. They didn't know that if the Hua family had the heart to befriend others, it would be easy to gain the goodwill of others.

In just one month, even those civil servants who did not like the Hua family did not stingy with their praise to Hua Changkong.

By the way, I sighed with emotion in my heart again, how can such a good reading seedling be a family member

"I heard that the brothers and sisters of the Hua family met the gangster yesterday and were almost kidnapped. Fortunately, there were street vendors around to help, so the gangster didn't succeed."

"No wonder the capital has stepped up its vigilance today. How could I hear that those gangsters are not ordinary people, but killers."

"That's too dangerous. Fortunately, people are all right."

On the second day of the new year, Mrs. Du took her daughter back to visit her parents' home. Because her second brother and Princess Shun'an were married and lived in the princess' mansion, they all returned to the Yao family's ancestral home on this day.

Princess Shun'an only sat in front of the second old man for a while, then got up and left. She is a royal princess, and being able to sit for a while has already given the second old man all face.

The Yao family has many daughters and young sons, and their daughters and relatives gather together to talk about the new and strange things that happened in the capital, which is also more open than outside.

Jiamin County Master has a high status, and several juniors in the family are willing to hold her. Knowing that she didn't like Hua Liuli, she couldn't help but bring some irony into her words.

"Who knows if Hua Liuli provokes someone outside."

"No, that kind of scheming woman..."

"Don't know what other people are right and wrong." Du Xiuying stood up, her face a little cold, "The Hua family fought for Da Jin on the battlefield for generations, not to make you mock their daughter."

"Pretty serious." The faces of the young girls who spoke ill of Hua Liuli were a little ugly.

Du Xiuying didn't want to quarrel with them, so she turned around and walked out.

"Du Xiuying." Princess Jiamin stopped her, raised her chin and said, "Are you trying to get along with me on purpose?"

Knowing that she couldn't get used to Hua Liuli, Du Xiuying still wanted to help Hua Liuli, which was clearly a problem with her.

Du Xiuying looked back and frowned at Du Xiuying: "As long as those who don't want to obey you, just can't get along with you, and there are too many people in the world who can't get along with you."

Jiamin was choked by this, her face changed, and it took a long time before she said, "Don't tell me the big truth. You are helping Hua Liuli talking now. Do you know how close the prince is to her?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Du Xiuying asked back.

"Don't you know..."

Du Xiuying turned around and left, not giving Princess Jiamin a chance to finish her sentence.

The Princess Jiamin was so angry that she scolded in a low voice, and said with a sullen face: "I want to marry the royal family with this virtue, in my next life."

"You said that those murderers were all killers?" Jing Zhaoyin read the case record and shook his head with a cup of tea, "Can't do it, we can't do it, we can't do this case, let's transfer it to Dali Temple."

"Master, Master Zhang of Dali Temple said that if we stop the case again, we will let the dogs chase us."

"Bullshit, the dogs in Dali Temple eat better than you on weekdays, and you have no appetite when you see it. Turn the case, you can go to it with confidence." Jing Zhaoyin made up his mind to pay attention to this matter.

The interpersonal relationship in the capital is complicated, and with his status, he can't manage these things if he wants to. It's better to hand it over to Dali Temple. They have a lot of confidential information and are smart, so they must be better than their side.

The Dali Temple Minister received the case transferred from Jing Zhaoyin, and was so angry that he scolded a few times: "If it's a big New Year's Eve, Jingzhao House can't live up to its expectations. All cases go to our Dali Temple. What is our Dali Temple?"

"Sir." Pei Jihuai comforted, "These arrested people are killers. My subordinates suspect that they are related to several previous cases."

"Have you been interrogated?" Zhang Shuo's face sank. If this is really a killer organization, and it is also involved in the previous cases, it means that there is a great conspiracy that is looming over the capital.

The people involved in this case are only part of the conspiracy.

Prince, Concubine Xian, King Ying, King Ning, Tian family, Chen family and Hua family...

Is this the princes calculating each other, or... the power of other countries

"After investigation by the subordinates, these killers are all top-ranked masters, and their leader is a man with the code name of Wusan."

"Does the killer still have a ranking?" Dali Siqing was surprised.

Pei Jihuai's tone paused, he felt that the main focus of the adults should not be this.

"Is there any information about the killer codenamed Wusan?"

"It is rumored that he has an ordinary appearance, extraordinary hearing ability, and can only distinguish his position by hearing. He ranks third in the killer world."

"Who is number one?"

"The assassin who failed to assassinate the prince last month."

"Oh..." Dali Siqing lost interest in an instant, "It seems that these killers are not very good." He heard that the East Palace assassin was accidentally pulled by Fushou County Master and fell.

An assassin who can stumble even a county master with no power to tie his hands can even be ranked first. It seems that there are few talents available in the killer world.

Pei Jihuai felt that this topic could not continue. He was afraid that your Excellency would go to study the employment status of killers, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is sending out invitations widely, and a state banquet will be held in two months, and envoys from countless countries will arrive in the capital. We are in Dali. Some of the people in the temple will be transferred to be responsible for guarding the safety.”

Dali Siqing sighed: "I see."

There have been frequent wars between Dajin and Jinpo for nearly a hundred years. This time, the complete defeat of Jinpo not only guaranteed the security of the border, but also served as a warning to other neighboring countries.

It is of extraordinary significance for His Majesty to hold this state banquet.

Therefore, before the state banquet is held, there must be absolutely no accident, especially for the great hero of the Hua family, let alone an accident.

When the queen mother learned that Hua Liuli was almost taken away by the killer, she was very worried, but just after the new year, she could not immediately bring Hua Liuli into the palace again, so she could only have people give Hua Liuli a lot of tranquilizers.

In the past few days, Hua Liuli has received a lot of things, from the Queen Mother, His Majesty, the Crown Prince, as well as from other concubines and princes, and from families who have friendship with the Hua family.

"The Grand Master's Mansion even sent people something over?" Hua Liuli picked out the Du family's gift list from a pile of gift lists, a little surprised, "Didn't Grand Master Du like Daddy?"

When His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, and Dad was a companion by his side, Mrs. Du always felt that Dad would harm His Majesty and was very indifferent to him.

The two families haven't had much contact over the years, and she even felt that if Tai Shi hadn't already gone to work for retirement, she might have followed Lin Huizhi to impeach Dad's military use.

"Slave heard that the Du family may have a prince concubine." Iris put away the messy gift list, "Maybe to ease the relationship with our Hua family in advance."

"Really?" Hua Liuli suddenly felt sympathy for the prince. The prince had the character of stealing food at the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens. He married a family like the Du family. How would he live in the future

"It's just a small spread in private." Iris thought about it seriously, "Who knows if it's true or not."

Hua Liuli shook her head. From the perspective of the court situation, it was a good choice for the prince to marry the Du family daughter, and it was also a perfect candidate for the queen. But with the degree of His Majesty's doting on the Prince, he may not like others to point fingers at his son.

There are thousands of parents who spoil their children, but there is one thing in common.

You say I can, but if you say my cub, then I can't.

The author has something to say: Killer: I think the next person to kill could be Dali Siqing.
