The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

  Chapter 406 We Are Pure Friends

  Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan returned to the house, washed briefly, and went to bed.

  Although it is late, you can still sleep a little longer.

   Luo Qinghan moved the person into his arms naturally, and asked in a low voice.

  "Can you tell the origins of the nuns through their faces?"

  Xiao Xixi yawned: "From the face of it, they should be professional killers. They have killed many people before. They also have a special killer organization. I don't know what the specific organization is."

  Luo Qinghan thoughtfully.

  If the fake nuns are pretending to be killers, it means they are hired.

  So who is the real culprit behind the scenes?

  The next morning, as soon as the prince finished washing, he learned that Zhao Xian and Xiao Lingfeng were coming.

  The two did not sleep overnight last night.

  In order to be able to make up for their work, they racked their brains and used all the available methods. Finally, they asked for useful information from the nuns.

"His Royal Highness, the nuns are all pretending to be killers. They belong to a killer organization called Xueyulou. They received the task of assassinating the prince a month ago. They knew that the mountain road ahead was given by heavy snow. Frozen, the carriages and horses were unable to drive, so they deliberately set a trap here to lure His Royal Highness and the Grand Prince to the bait."

  Xiao Lingfeng said, while offering the oral confession with both hands.

  Luo Qinghan took the confession and looked at it. These fake nuns were employed by others. They only knew that the employer had paid a high price, but they did not know the specific identity of the other party.

  This is also the rule of the Blood Rain Tower. The killer is only responsible for killing people. After killing people, they go to the designated place to collect money.

  As for who the employer is, the killer doesn’t care.

  At this time, Zhao Xian spoke.

"Dong Mingchun was assassinated before, and I will finally find a way to ask a friend to inquire about it. I learned that the group of assassins also came from a killer organization called the Blood Rain Tower. I heard that the Blood Rain Tower is quite famous in the world, and they also got a killer. On the ranking list, the higher the ranking of the killer, the more expensive the price. The four killers who assassinated Dong Mingchun and the two who escaped by chance are on the ranking list. They are indeed very powerful."

   Luo Qinghan thoughtfully: "They are all killers who came out of the Blood Rain Building. Is there such a coincidence?"

  Zhao Xian tried to ask: "You suspect that Dong Mingchun was instigated by the same person as the assassination of the eldest prince?"

  Luo Qinghan did not answer.

   From a theoretical point of view, it is indeed very likely that the same person instigated it.

  If you think about it carefully, you feel that the style of the two assassinations is very different.

  Dong Mingchun was assassinated in a straightforward manner, and there was no clue before and after, so that the prince still didn’t know why the man behind the scenes had to assassinate Dong Mingchun?

  The assassination of the prince last night was much simpler and rude.

  The other party made it clear that he was going to kill the prince, and by the way, he would blame the prince.

  As long as anyone with a brain can know, the people behind the scenes are definitely coming for the crown prince.

  Luo Qinghan faintly felt that these two things did not seem to be done by the same person.

  He put the statement on the table.

  It seems that this Blood Rain Building must be checked first.

  The nuns confessed to the two secret strongholds of the Blood Rain Tower, and it happened that they would pass through those two places on their way back to Beijing.

  Luo Qinghan intends to pass the two strongholds on his way back to Beijing to see if he can find the background of the Blood Rain Tower.

  He looked at the two people in front of him, coldly.

   "Last night you were negligent and let people take advantage of the loopholes and almost caused a catastrophe. Each person received twenty lashes to show punishment. If you repeat the crime, you will be dismissed and investigated."

  Zhao Xian and Xiao Lingfeng agreed.

   "Thank you, the prince, for your kindness!"

  The two turned and walked out of the nunnery, stood in the courtyard, and received the whipping punishment.

  Xiao Xixi did not go out to watch, but he could hear the slapping noise through the window, and he could know how painful it was after thinking about it.

  After a night of severe torture, the fake nuns are now dying, and it seems that they won’t live long.

  The prince didn't want to take so many oil bottles on the road, anyway, they could recruit all of them, and it was useless to keep them, so they were killed directly by someone and found a place to bury them.

  After dealing with these incidents, the Prince's car set off again and continued on the road.

  Luo Yechen has been extremely honest these days because of a leg injury. He stayed in the carriage during the day and in his guest room at night.

  Under the care of the imperial physician, Luo Yechen's leg injury gradually improved, at least not as painful as before, but he was still limping after walking.

  Today they spent the night at the post in Huaizhao County.

  There is a teahouse in Huaizhao County. It is the secret stronghold of the Blood Rain Building here. Some killers will pick up quests and receive rewards here.

  In the middle of the night, Zhao Xian took Yulinwei and surrounded the teahouse.

   Go in and take a look, and find that people in the teahouse are already empty.

  It seems that the people in the Blood Rain Tower had received the news a long time ago and evacuated the stronghold in advance.

  Zhao Xian returned empty-handed and reported the news to the prince.

The prince    was not surprised by this, and only gave a light command.

   "Go and ask the people around the teahouse tomorrow morning."

   "Here."

  The next morning, Xiao Xixi woke up from her sleep and found that she was empty around her, and the prince did not know where she had gone.

  The maids came in and waited on her to change clothes and wash.

  She asked while yawning; "Where is the prince?"

  A maid answered truthfully: "The local magistrate has just arrived, and the prince is in the hall to discuss matters with the magistrate."

"Oh."

  After washing up, Xiao Xixi had a hearty breakfast.

  She screened the ladies and ran outside the hall quietly.

  She looked into the hall, and saw that the prince was still talking to the county magistrate, and it seemed that she should not finish talking for a while.

  She turned around and ran to the guest room where the eldest prince was.

  Luo Yechen was lying in bed reading the script at the moment.

  When he saw Concubine Xiao Fang suddenly ran in, he was taken aback and exclaimed angrily.

   "Why are you doing this again? I ran in without letting people pass, what if I was changing clothes?"

  Xiao Xixi said indifferently: "You change yours, and I won't look at you."

  She found the box where the book was stored, and found out the script from it. She sat down in a random place and looked at it with relish.

  Luo Yechen was very angry at her familiar appearance.

  "As the concubine of the prince, why do you run to me all the time? The lone man and the widow are in the same room. What if you get misunderstood?"

  Xiao Xixi stared at the script in his hand, and said casually: "We are pure friends, no one will misunderstand."

   Luo Yechen sneered disdainfully: "How can there be a pure friendship between men and women?"

  Xiao Xixi: "Who said that? As long as you are ugly, you will be friends in the world!"

  Luo Yechen: "..."
