Chapter 178: Embrace the blame

There is a beautiful moon in the sky and a white snow on the ground.

After midnight, everything was silent and Chen Ning had already fallen asleep.

On the street, several black shadows flashed quickly, touched the outside of the house, and then turned over and entered the yard. They landed silently, holding a shaky sharp blade in their hands, and only their eyes were exposed under the cover of black clothes, cold-blooded and ruthless.

They locked Chen Ning's bedroom, rushed directly, and kicked in the door.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of war broke out in the house, accompanied by screams.

"Dongdongdongdongdong..."

The door was knocked, Chen Ning sat up and asked, "Is it solved?"

"Report to the young master, capture two people, and kill all the other assassins." A man's voice sounded outside the house.

Chen Ning got out of bed, put on a cloak and opened the room.

The north wind blew into the house, causing the fire to thunder, making Chen Ning sleepless.

He walked out of the room and came to the bedroom in the backyard, and saw the bodies of men in black all over the ground, and two others were tied up.

Chen Ning sat in the main seat and asked with a smile: "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The two men in black snorted, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

"Since I don't want to say it, then kill it!" Chen Ning said casually.

The guard immediately pulled the two of them away.

At the same time, Chang Yuchun escorted two girls in. It was the twin maids that Sima Haiyun gave to Chen Ning, Xiao Jin and Xiao Lian.

At this time, the two women were so scared that they were disgraced. After seeing Chen Ning, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Chen Ning had known for a long time that these two women were spies, but not Sima Haiyun's, but Jiang Xiao. The assassin came directly tonight, and the two women were also informing each other.

The two women fell into Chang Yuchun's hands and had already revealed everything.

"Tomorrow, I will send his two daughters back to the Southeast Prince's Mansion and tell the prince that I, Chen Ning, have no blessings to accept them." Chen Ning said.

Chang Yuchun nodded, clasped his fists and said, "I understand."

Chen Ning looked at the two women again, smiled gently, and asked, "Do you know how to speak then?"

The two women trembled and knew that they could not live anymore, but when they thought of their family, they nodded quickly.

Early the next morning, the two women were sent back to the Southeast Prince's Mansion, and Sima Haiyun also learned about the attack on Chen Ning.

Sima Haiyun was furious. Chen Ning was his lucky general. He was assassinated as soon as he returned to Pengcheng. He didn't take him seriously. As for who the murderer was, do you still need to guess?

What made Sima Haiyun even more angry was that it was the two maids he sent out to inform him, and his people were always Jiang Xiao's eyes and ears, which made Sima Haiyun feel an unprecedented shame.

"Do you want to play? OK, I'll play with you!" Sima Haiyun took two maids directly to meet Sima Yue.

Sima Yue was also very angry after understanding the causes and consequences.

He had been patient, but he didn't expect the other party to become more and more serious.

Sima Haiyun said: "Father, I heard that the Taoist golden elixir is probably hidden by Jiang Xiao in the hands of Jiang Xiao. Now he is ashamed of his father's trust and acts indiscriminately, so he can no longer indulge. I have a plan to investigate Jiang Xiao carefully. If the Taoist golden elixir is really hidden by him, then he will be unforgivable! Even if he has worked hard for the Southeast Prince's Mansion over the years, he will not be forgiven!"

This time Sima Yue did not refuse and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Sima Haiyun immediately told the plan in his heart.

Sima Yue sighed and nodded.

After Sima Haiyun left, he immediately attracted Chen Ning.

"Chen Ning, send someone to capture Jiang Xiao's son!"

As soon as they met, Sima Haiyun took the lead in speaking.

Chen Ning pretended to be surprised and asked, "The prince wants to force Jiang Xiao's son to find out the whereabouts of Taoist Jindan? But Jiang Xiao is particularly cunning and will he tell his son about the whereabouts of Taoist Jindan? I am worried that Taoist Jindan has been destroyed by Jiang Xiao."

Sima Haiyun shook his head and said, "The Taoist golden elixir is said to have a miraculous effect on healing wounds and can save dying people. Such a good baby is definitely the second life. Will Jiang Xiao be willing to destroy it?"

"That's right. If it's my opinion, it will definitely be hidden in the treasure house and store it well." Chen Ning agreed.

Sima Haiyun continued, "Yes! I will definitely hide it well. Maybe Jiang Xiao won't tell his son the whereabouts of the Taoist golden elixir, but Jiang Xiao's treasure treasure is hidden there, and his son may know! If he can find that treasure treasure and search, maybe there will be the whereabouts of the Taoist golden elixir."

Chen Ning's eyes lit up and he bowed and praised: "The prince is amazing, he is a humble position and stupid."

"This is just a word you said unintentionally, reminding me, haha..." Sima Haiyun said proudly.

Chen Ning said, "Prince, please rest assured. Leave it to your subordinates to capture Jiang Xiao's son. But when will the prince take action?"

"I have convinced my father that I have no worries. I will do it tonight. I want to break up Jiang Xiao, but I dare to plant spies beside me, seeking death!" Sima Haiyun gritted his teeth, and the hatred was completely induced.

Chen Ning immediately received an order and retreated.

The situation of Jiang Xiao's son Jiang Yuan had long been found out. He wanted to capture him for a piece of cake, but he was arrested while he was staying overnight in the brothel that night.

Then he handed it over to Sima Haiyun. Sima Haiyun personally supervised and examined Jiang Yuan half-death. He told all the things he knew. In fact, even he didn't know where his father's real treasure house was. But after all, he was Jiang Xiao's son, so he knew some secrets.

So Sima Haiyun also pried out several Jiang Xiao’s private houses.

"Chen Ning, send someone to search! Look for it!" Sima Haiyun said.

Chen Ning had long expected that this matter would fall on him, and this was exactly his intention.

Next, Chen Ning led people to search the private houses, and then found a brocade box in the study of one of the private houses, with a pill inside.

This was naturally placed directly when Chen Ning searched.

The pill was quickly delivered to Sima Haiyun, and then to Sima Yue.

When Sima Yue heard about finding a pill, he sighed and was surprised. But in order to confirm, he quickly secretly summoned the alchemist in the city to let them identify it. Finally, the alchemist carefully checked the pill and found that the pill was exactly the same as the description of Taoist golden elixir, and it can basically be confirmed that it was Taoist golden elixir!

"Congratulations to my father, I finally found the Taoist golden elixir. My father's condition is expected to recover. But I didn't expect that Jiang Xiao was so hateful that he actually kept the Taoist golden elixir privately, and watched his father's condition worsen! It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!" Sima Haiyun shouted loudly.

Sima Yue was also angry and privately hiding Taoist golden elixir. This definitely violated Sima Yue's rebellious scales. He immediately found a guard in the royal palace and went to capture Jiang Xiao.

Soon, Jiang Xiao was taken back.

"Please check it out clearly. I don't know what crime I have committed. I also ask the prince to give me a chance to prove my innocence!" Jiang Xiao thought that the collusion with Sima Haiying was leaked. In his opinion, with his own words and contributions of so many years, the prince would definitely forgive him.

Unexpectedly, Sima Yue took out the Taoist golden elixir and asked coldly: "Okay, Jiang Xiao, I'm useless to trust you. Leave the full power of the royal palace to you. This is how you repay me? Do you hide the Taoist golden elixir privately? Do you want to see me die with your own eyes?"

Jiang Xiao was stunned and sweated coldly. He quickly denied: "It is impossible. The people sent to Longhu Mountain to Beizhi did not find the Taoist golden elixir at all. How could they be hidden by Beizhi? Even His Majesty's Earth Tiger Guard did not find the Taoist golden elixir, how could they be hidden by Beizhi?"

"What is this?" Sima Yue picked up the Taoist golden elixir and asked coldly.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly said: "This is definitely not a Taoist golden elixir, it is definitely someone who frames the blame!"

"Framed the slander? Who did you say you used Taoist golden elixir to frame you? Who has the ability! The golden elixir was found in your private house, and it was Longhu Mountain you sent to. Could it be that your confidant framed you?" Sima Yue said angrily.

Jiang Xiao said anxiously: "Please tell me the truth. This must not be a Taoist golden elixir, it must be fake!"

"Fake it? I'm still stubborn! I have found several alchemists. The time and refining techniques of this Taoist golden elixir are not bad at all! Do you think someone has hidden this golden elixir for decades just to frame you?" Sima Yue was furious and was tempted and coughed violently.

Sima Haiyun stepped forward and gently stroked Sima Yue's back and said, "Father, this thief is still treacherous! Why listen to his nonsense? Since the evidence is conclusive, you must not tolerate it!"

Jiang Xiao was even more panicked and kowtowed quickly and said, "Please investigate clearly, please investigate clearly. It is unfair to be accused of humble duties, and it is unfair to be accused!"

"I will ask you one last thing, have you ever colluded with Sima Haiying to assassinate the prince?" Sima Yue asked coldly.

Jiang Xiao's lips trembled and he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't say it. Because he understood that since the prince asked this, he must have found out the situation.

"Prepare it and lock it up in a death jail!" Sima Yue took a deep breath and waved his hand.

The guard immediately took Jiang Xiao away.

"Father, that big brother..." Sima Haiyun didn't want to let Sima Haiying go.

But Sima Yue sighed and said, "He is your brother after all. If you inherit the title of king in the future, you must be tolerant."

Sima Haiyun was reluctant, but when he saw that his father looked extremely bad, he nodded and retreated.

When he returned to the house, Shen Ning was waiting.

Sima Haiyun told Shen Ning about the story. After hearing this, Shen Ning felt relieved and knew that Jiang Xiao was already doomed.

"Jiang Xiao really feels guilty of the prince's trust. I don't know how many bad things he has done over the years. I wonder if the prince will show mercy?" Shen Ning said worriedly.

Sima Haiyun sneered, "No, if you go to the death priest, don't try to escape. I will send him a ride. He committed suicide in guilt, so it can be considered as leaving him a complete body!"

Shen Ning nodded. With Sima Haiyun's temper, he would not let Jiang Xiao go.

"The only regret is that Sima Haiying was not implicated, it's a pity!" Sima Haiyun said angrily.

Shen Ning comforted: "Your Highness, he is your brother after all, breaking his bones and connecting the tendons. I believe that when something happened to Jiang Xiao, he will be honest and dare not have any bad intentions anymore."
