Fuhai Courtyard.

Madam Du was guarding the door of the room, and there were several guards next to them. They looked serious and seemed to have just encountered something serious.

In the room, Cui Quan and his wife and their eldest son were sitting on a chair with a serious expression.

"Bang!"

Mrs. Cui suddenly placed the teacup heavily on the table and said, "Don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?" Cui Quan and his eldest son looked at her together.

Mrs. Cui lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and said slowly: "The assassin sneaked into the mansion to kill the Duke of the Kingdom, but there are four men in black. Why is there only one man in black who went to the front yard study room to assassinate the Duke of the Kingdom?"

Cui Yongzong thought for a while and expressed his guess: "The Duke of Jingguo is so big, they must not know where their father is, so they searched separately.

"Later, a man in black found his father and made a fuss. The other man in black rushed over to help."

It makes sense.

Mrs. Cui put down this question and expressed other doubts: "Why did they run to the backyard after their assassination failed? They also entered Jinglanyuan and took Yuanniang hostage?

"As soon as Yuan Niang entered the mansion three days ago, an assassin entered the mansion. Perhaps this group of assassins was recruited by Yuan Niang. Don't forget that she has hatred for us, and it is normal for her to kill the Duke of the Country.

"And, if she had not colluded with the assassin, how could she return home safely?

"So, I think these assassins were recruited by Yuan Niang, and she is taking revenge on us."

Cui Quan's face darkened, thinking about his wife's words in his heart.

Cui Yongzong said, "Mother, you are prejudiced against Yuan Niang."

"Rareless, you dare to talk to me like this? I am your biological mother, why do you doubt me so much..." Mrs. Cui was so angry and scolded her son.

Cui Yongzong lowered his head and listened silently. Until Mrs. Cui scolded her for being tired and stopped, he said, "Don't calm down, please listen to my explanation."

"As the legitimate daughter of our Jingguo Duke's Mansion, Yuan Niang spent fifteen years in poverty at Yunxuan Temple. It is normal for her to have grievances in her heart.

"What's more, the third brother was indeed sorry for Wang back then. Over the years, the third brother has not taken care of her.

"I believe that Yuan Niang has resentment and hatred, but I don't agree with her revenge.

"She is a little lady. If she wants to marry a good family in the future, she must rely on the Duke of Jingguo Mansion and us.

"I think she was the same as she came back, otherwise she wouldn't have asked the King of Chu to let her go from Yunxuan Temple.

"So, she can't hurt her father, and, moreover, she doesn't have the ability.

"As for those men in black running into Jinglanyuan to hold her hostage, I think it's just a coincidence.

"At that time, all the guards in the mansion were dispatched, and the men in black fled in panic and did not know the direction. It was normal for them to run into Jinglan Garden.

"Later, they were surrounded and if they wanted to escape, they naturally had to take a hostage with great importance.

"There is only one master in Jinglan Garden. Who else can you hold her hostage if you don't hold her hostage?"

Mrs. Cui was speechless for a moment: "..."

Cui Quan thought something.

The house fell silent again.

After a long time, Mrs. Cui said with a stern face: "I still feel that Yuan Niang has nothing to do with this matter."

"Mother--"

Cui Yongzong was a little helpless: "If you want to doubt people, you must have real evidence.

"Yuan Niang and the third brother have just put aside their past grudges. Don't interfere with it and destroy the relationship between their father and daughter."

After being criticized by his son, Mrs. Cui was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at Cui Yongzong and cursed: "Rebellious son..."

At this time, Madam Du's voice came from outside the door: "Dude, old lady, and Chief Bai are asking for a meeting."

Mrs. Cui was angry.

"Let him come in." Cui Quan said.

Not only Bai Qi entered the room, but also Liu Yang, Zeng Ming and Zhu Lin.

Cui Quan looked at Liu Yang and asked anxiously: "Have you caught the assassin?"

Liu Yang was ashamed and knelt down "thump": "I am incompetent, please ask the Duke to punish me."

Cui Quan immediately stretched his face: "No one was caught?"

"......yes."

Liu Yang's head lowered and he replied, "As the command of the prince, he lies outside the city early in the morning with his people.

"But we intercepted only two horses and two dummies, and the two men in black riding horses had already run away.

"When General Cui chased the carriage, there was only Yuanniang in the carriage, and the other two men in black ran away.

"According to the clues we found, the four men in black changed their clothes, mixed in with the people, entered the forest outside the city, and fled from the water.

"I'll come back first to report to you that General Cui stays outside the city and continues to lead troops to pursue the men in black."

Cui Quan's face looked ugly, but he did not punish Liu Yang on the spot, but ordered: "You all talk about the clues they found."

Bai Qi took the lead in speaking: "The two men in black who fought with me are tall, but also slender.

"The sound of their speech should be a man, but they may also deliberately disguise the man's voice in order to cover up their true identities.

"So, I think these two men in black may be men or women."

After hearing Bai Qi's words, Cui Yongzong showed a thoughtful expression: "Father, one of the four men in black who entered Jinglan Garden was as Bai Qi said, tall but also slender.

"In this way, one of the four men in black may be a woman."

Mrs. Cui suddenly spoke: "Is it possible that Yuan Niang is one of the assassins?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

After the initial shock, Cui Yongzong only felt deep helpless: "Mother, Yuan Niang was held hostage by the man in black and stabbed by them. How could she be an assassin?"

How much does my mother hate Cui Hengyue? She insisted on getting Cui Hengyue into the assassin...

At this time, Zeng Ming said: "Dude, when I led people to track the assassins, I found that there were more than two of them, but four of them in total.

"When I first met them, two people were injured. They should be the two assassins who appeared in the study.

"They fled all the way and fled into the yard of the four bedrooms, but in the end they only had two assassins left the yard of the four bedrooms.

"I asked someone to search the fourth room carefully, but the assassin was not found, but the blood stains disappeared when it reached the fourth room.

"After that, I chased all the way to Jinglan Garden and found that there were four assassins in Jinglan Garden.

"So, I think there are six assassins entering the mansion."

When Liu Yang heard this, he told what he knew: "Dude, after General Bai was injured, I was responsible for the pursuit.

"The two assassins who escaped from the study had disappeared in front of my eyes for a short time. When they saw them again, they had changed people.

"Later, I searched Jinglanyuan and there were four assassins holding Yuanniang hostage. I think Zeng Ming was right. There were six assassins in total."

Cui Yongzong looked at Zhu Lin: "Was an assassin escaped from the house at that time?"

Zhu Lin: "No."

Hearing this, Cui Quan said in a deep voice: "It seems that there are indeed six assassins.

"But, there were only four people who left the mansion in the end. Where were the other two?"

Mrs. Cui snorted, """ Later, I searched Jinglanyuan and there were four assassins holding Yuanniang hostage. I think Zeng Ming was right. There were six assassins in total."

Cui Yongzong looked at Zhu Lin: "Was an assassin escaped from the house at that time?"

Zhu Lin: "No."

Hearing this, Cui Quan said in a deep voice: "It seems that there are indeed six assassins.

"But, there were only four people who left the mansion in the end. Where were the other two?"
