Dressed as the Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife of the Regent

After a long while, Empress Dowager Guo's anger subsided. After pondering for a while, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Since the internal guards can't deal with it, I will use the methods on the rivers and lakes."

Qinglian heard the words and asked hesitantly, "Does the queen mother want to continue hiring killers?"

Empress Dowager Guo frowned. In fact, she didn't trust the killers on the rivers and lakes.

The last time they hired them to assassinate Wen Nongrong also ended in failure.

But the big inner guard can't even deal with two swindlers in the rivers and lakes, and if they send it out, it will only damage more, and if this matter spreads, it will definitely damage the face of the royal family.

The pair of masters and apprentices are now going to Xiangzhou, presumably because they have not given up on Gu Linchao, how can she let them go?

They must die!

Thinking about it, a poisonous look flashed in her eyes, "Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. You can put a reward on it. Anyone who can kill the master and apprentice and Wen Nong will be rewarded a thousand taels."

When Qing Lian heard the words, her heart froze, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother still didn't give up the idea of ​​killing Wen Nong Nong.

"Do you want to use the old killer building again?" she asked with her head lowered.

"Use it. I failed last time. I don't believe that they can still lose under this heavy reward." Empress Dowager Guo said with a frown.

In her opinion, wealth and silk are heartwarming.

With such a heavy reward, she didn't believe that Chiyulou didn't have to use all his strength to assassinate her.

In fact, Shen Qingning is the second, after all, Gu Linchao doesn't look down on her at all, and Wen Nongrong is the one who makes her want to get rid of her most quickly, but what is Shen Qingning? Even if she dared to have unreasonable thoughts, she would make her pay the price of death.

"The servant will go here." Qinglian replied respectfully, and then backed out.

...

In a hidden hill outside the capital.

Xiao Yan bowed his body and walked out of a cave with a sullen face. He took a few mouthfuls and didn't give up. He took the water bag handed by the attendant and rinsed his mouth a few times before giving up.

"Guo Gong, can this really lead to the palace?" The attendant asked uncertainly.

Xiao Yan handed the water bag back to him, wiped the water droplets on his chin, and said firmly: "Of course, but it will take some time to dig through this passage."

The attendant was a little worried when he heard the words, "It's really time-consuming. It's been half a month, and it's only a little bit of digging."

Xiao Yan pondered: "There are many stones around here, so it is not easy to dig. After this section of the road, it should be easier to dig a lot. By the way, hire more people and let them dig in rotation. As long as they don't stop day and night, I believe it will be dug through soon.”

"Yes." The attendant responded respectfully.

After looking around, Xiao Yan returned and ordered: "Zhou Jun, I'll leave it to you, be sure to urge them to dig faster, but don't force them too much, three meals a day, more wine and meat, don't be harsh. took them.

I'll go back and rest for a while, and come back in two days to see if anything happens and report to me in time. "Speaking, he thumped his sore lower back.

In order to dig this road, he did not rest much during this time.

Relying on his familiarity with the topography of the capital and the imperial palace, he spent several days drawing the topography in person. After that, he personally selected workers and went to the site to investigate. After many days of work, he could finally take a break today.

"This subordinate understands, the prince can rest assured to go back." Zhou Jun said.

Xiao Yan patted his shoulder and rode away.

Zhou Jun is the son of his family. He is reliable and loyal. He is very relieved to hand this place to him.

As for why he had to dig this secret passage, it was naturally for his old sister.

Gu Heng used the elder sister to control the elbow, and the elder sister was stubborn to use her own life, and threatened Hengzhi to leave her alone.

What a mess.

He had to solve this trouble for Hengzhi.

Otherwise, one day the pair of uncles and nephews will really clash, and when it comes time to use force, wouldn't Hengzhi have to tie his hands and feet for the sake of the old sister?

At that time, he stole the old sister out of the palace, so that without any worries, Hengzhi could be invincible.

Xiao Yan was complacent about his plan, and made up his mind that he must dig through this secret path as soon as possible.

...

Store state, Akabane House.

The second elder looked at the golden gold in front of him and almost laughed, but he finally remembered that the employer was still there, so he said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, girl, what you explained, this time we promise to complete it smoothly."

Qinglian, who was wearing a hood, heard the words and nodded, "If you can get things done, the other five hundred taels of gold will be delivered on time."

"Girl go back and prepare the gold, we will definitely offer Wen Nong's head when the time comes." The second elder patted his chest and assured.

The confidant disciple heard it, and the corner of his mouth twitched suspiciously.

The second elder is so disrespectful that he even called the landlord by his name, and even took the landlord's head.

Qinglian was satisfied, as the Queen Mother said, these people in Jianghu are greedy for profit, as long as they make a lot of money, they will not worry about their lives.

Thinking about it, she stood up and said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "In this way, I can rest assured and leave."

"Zhao Kun, send this girl off for me." The second elder winked at the confidant disciple beside him, and said with a smile.

Zhao Kun understood and immediately stepped forward, "Girl, please!"

After the person left, the second elder touched the gold in the box and smiled.

Sure enough, as the landlord guessed, the people behind the scenes were not reconciled, so they came to the door again and hired them.

Zhao Kun went for a long time before coming back, "That girl was very cautious, even after changing carriages several times in this city, we almost lost our people when we finally left the city.

Outside the city, she took another carriage, and after a circle, she went to the direction of the capital, but I saw that the driver of the carriage had a feminine face, and he looked like the eunuch in the palace. "

Hearing the words, the second elder pondered for a moment, then said Fang: "So, the person who is going to kill the landlord probably came from the palace."

"I think it's very possible." Zhao Kun nodded, and then asked, "Second elder really wants to take over this business?"

The second elder restrained his thoughts and touched the gold on the table, "Nonsense, I have all the gold, can I go back? Besides, if we don't take over this business, that person will go to hire someone else. The landlord said , the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.”

The corner of Zhao Kun's mouth twitched, and he had nothing to say. However, the employer would never have imagined that the person they were going to kill would actually be their landlord.

This gold is equivalent to being delivered to them in vain.

"Zhao Kun, bring a few disciples with you now, go to Xiangzhou, and tell the landlord about this matter. You can listen to the landlord's arrangement as to how to act at that time."

"Yes." Zhao Kun responded and went down to prepare.

...

Xiangzhou.

Over the past month, Wen Nong Nong has been suffering from serious grief. She has to vomit several times a day, and she vomits almost everything she eats. Later, she loses her appetite for everything she eats.

It was Imperial Physician Lin, who had excellent medical skills, who had used several methods for her, but none of them worked.
