Chapter 105 The assassination of the man behind the scenes has been resolved

Xiao Jingyan was racking his brains to investigate the assassination.

In recent days, he frequently went to Liuxiangyuan with Lu Jing and others. They seemed to be eating, drinking and having fun, but in fact they were secretly investigating the assassination leader hiding in Liuxiangyuan.

Liuxiang Garden was originally a bustling place of fireworks in the capital, with the sound of stringed instruments and laughter constantly heard.

Xiao Jingyan was wearing a low-key blue robe with a black belt around his waist with a warm jade pendant hanging on it.

He has a tall and straight posture and an extraordinary temperament.

Lu Jingyu learned from Xiao Jingyan that the assassin was hiding in Liu Xiangyuan, so he accompanied him to act.

For several days, he brought Xiao Jingyan here to eat and drink.

Since Xiao Jingyan rarely attended such places of entertainment, many people did not know him.

He gave himself an identity as a businessman in order to curry favor with Lu Jingyu.

Today, just like the previous few days, they chose to sit in the luxurious room in Liuxiang Garden, ordered some wine and food, and while drinking and having fun, they paid attention to the movements around them.

Xiao Jingyan’s eyes seemed to casually sweep across the crowd, but his mind was always searching for suspicious people.

At this time, the waiter started to bring wine over.

The waiter had a big smile on his face and diligently placed the wine jug and glasses on the table, saying flattering words non-stop.

Xiao Jingyan nodded slightly and signaled the waiter to leave.

However, the moment the waiter turned and left, Xiao Jingyan keenly noticed something strange.

His eyes flashed and he looked at Lu Jingyu. Lu Jingyu immediately understood and quietly placed his hand on the sword at his waist.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from a private room on the second floor and rushed towards Xiao Jingyan.

Xiao Jingyan reacted quickly, dodged to the side and avoided the sudden attack.

The black shadow missed the attack and immediately turned around and pounced again, the sharp blade in his hand flashing coldly under the light.

Xiao Jingyan drew the sword from his waist and started a fierce fight with the black shadow.

The sword and the blade collided, making a crisp sound.

Xiao Jingyan’s swordsmanship is sharp, and every move is full of power and momentum.

The black shadow was not to be outdone. He was agile and used strange moves, constantly looking for Xiao Jingyan’s flaws.

The guests around were frightened by the sudden fight and fled in panic.

There was a sudden chaos in Liuxiang Garden.

Lu Jingyu also quickly joined the battle and started a fierce fight with the assassins pouring out from all directions.

Amid the flashing of swords and the sound of killing, the sky was shaken.

While fighting fiercely with the black shadow, Xiao Jingyan kept an eye on the situation around him.

He found that these assassins were well-trained and coordinated well, and it was obvious that they came prepared.

As expected, the reason why no action was taken in the past few days was to gather these killers and capture him in one fell swoop.

A surge of anger surged in Xiao Jingyan’s heart. He knew that these people were the murderers who assassinated him.

He must subdue them as soon as possible and find out who is behind this.

However, there were too many people and they were only two people, so they were outnumbered.

Xiao Jingyan and Lu Jingyu were in a difficult dilemma.

While fighting, he was thinking about countermeasures.

We cannot continue to be in this stalemate; we must break the deadlock as soon as possible.

Suddenly he thought of a solution and winked at Lu Jingyu.

Lu Jingyu immediately understood his intention.

Xiao Jingyan deliberately revealed a flaw to lure the black shadow into the trap.

The black shadow fell into the trap and stabbed Xiao Jingyan with his knife.

Just when the black shadow’s knife was about to stab Xiao Jingyan, Xiao Jingyan dodged to the side and kicked the black shadow away.

The black shadow fell heavily to the ground, and before he could get up, Lu Jingyu had already rushed over and put the sword on his neck. The other assassins were immediately thrown into disarray when they saw their leader being captured.

Xiao Jingyan took the opportunity to shout.

“Put down your weapons and I will spare your lives!”

The assassins hesitated for a moment, but eventually dropped their weapons.

At this moment, the guards guarding the door of Liu Xiangyuan heard the noise inside and rushed in.

They quickly captured all the assassins and took control of the situation.

Everyone was taken into the Dali Temple by the guards.

Inside the prison, Xiao Jingyan sat on a chair, looking at the assassin in custody with a stern expression.

“Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?” The voice was cold.

At this moment, there was silence, and Xiao Jingyan’s eyes became even colder.

“Do you think that if you don’t tell me, I won’t be able to find out? I have plenty of ways to make you talk.”

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyan waved his hand, signaling his men to begin the torture.

After various tortures, the assassin finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Yes… the King of Qin sent me here.”

Xiao Jingyan’s face became even gloomier. He was right.

The King of Qin had always been ambitious. In addition, because his right arm was cut off due to a bet in the court, he held a grudge against him and used his private soldiers to take the opportunity to get rid of him.

This matter must be told to his elder brother, the emperor, so he went into the palace and presented the assassin’s confession, and explained that the assassin was the private soldier raised by the King of Qin.

Recruiting private soldiers is a serious crime, which is equivalent to rebelling, not to mention secretly raising a large number of private soldiers.

The emperor was furious when he saw it and ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Dali Temple Minister immediately organized a team to investigate the King of Qin.

After an in-depth investigation, the Dali Temple collected conclusive evidence that the King of Qin maintained a private army.

This time, even the golden medal of immunity from death cannot save him.

The King of Qin was punished according to law, the men were beheaded and the women were exiled to a wild place. This was the emperor’s last mercy to them.

Xiao Jingyan completely eliminated the Qin Wang and his followers within half a month, thus consolidating the imperial power for his brother.

This way, he can focus on his own personal affairs.

After everything was settled, Xiao Jingyan came to An Zhiyuan’s pharmacy and handed her a wooden box.

An Zhiyuan found this wooden box very familiar. “The pattern on this box seems to be the same as the pattern on the wooden box of the bracelet you gave me last time.”

“Open it and see if you like it.” Xiao Jingyan did not explain, but changed his excuse, “This is to celebrate your auction house reaching a higher level.”

When An Zhiyuan mentioned this, an excited smile appeared on her face. While he was dealing with the matter of King Qin, she was not idle either.

During this period, she prepared ten auctions and sold out all her previous collections.

At the same time, her personal assets have reached trillions, not to mention the company’s assets, which are no less than that.

Now, she, Shen Weining and Chi Feiwan are busy with the listing of the auction house.

“Thank you!”

An Zhiyuan opened the wooden box and found a necklace inside.

When she picked it up and took a look, she couldn’t help but be surprised. It was the same workmanship and material of gold and jade inlaid, and even the patterns on the workmanship were extremely similar.

“Oh my god! The craftsmanship of your craftsmen is so superb! They can even produce a series of models continuously.”

Seeing how much she liked it, Xiao Jingyan’s eyes were filled with smiles.

“As long as you like it! Can I help you put it on?”

“Okay!”

An Zhiyuan turned around and faced away from him with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jingyan took the necklace and helped her put it on gently, his eyes full of tenderness.
