Chapter 218 Shen Cang
Chapter 218 Shen Cang
Chang'an traveled day and night, and finally returned to Kyoto five days later.
He still felt a little emotional as he watched the once lively streets become less crowded.
Neither the evil villain nor the murderer who assassinated Miss Qin were found. The people began to question the government's ability to handle the case. Everyone only dared to come out after the sun came up. The beggars also moved in groups and did not dare to do anything casually. Sleeping on the street, they all went to Qingyangyuan to find a place to stay.
After understanding the situation, Chang'an returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, watched Qin Zhongwan grinding medicine in the yard, and climbed down from the roof: "Second Miss Qin."
Looking at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, Qin Zhongwan was startled: "You, are you Chang'an?"
Seeing that she remembered him, Chang An was happy and nodded: "It's me, Miss Qin Er still remembers me!"
Qin Zhong looked around at night and asked, "Didn't you go to Jiangnan with the Crown Prince? Why did you come back suddenly?"
Chang An explained with a smile: "Your Highness asked me to come back to Beijing to handle something. I also heard about Miss Qin's assassination before. Are you okay?"
Meeting Qin Zhongwan's surprised gaze, Chang An wanted to explain that it was not him who wanted to ask, but His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to know. Although he was also concerned about Qin Zhongwan's safety, he had different intentions from Gu Siyuan.
"I am fine."
Qin Zhongwan shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your concern."
"Hehehe, it's okay."
Chang'an smiled a little silly, and Qin Zhongwan couldn't help but curl his lips: "By the way, why does His Highness want you to come back? Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Have."
Chang'an thought of business, took out the token from his arms and handed it to Qin Zhongwan: "Miss Qin, this is a token given to you by His Highness. You can use it to order the secret guards sent by His Highness to protect you. It’s not safe outside now, so it’s safer to let them do it.”
Looking at the eagle relief on the token, Qin Zhongwan's face was full of shock. This is Yingqi's token, which can command the secret guards trained by His Highness the Crown Prince. It is said that each of them has special skills and is an indispensable figure around the Crown Prince. !
"No, I can't have it, it's too expensive."
After Qin Zhongwan recognized what it was, she immediately returned it to Chang'an. This thing represented a different meaning and she could not accept it.
"Second Miss Qin."
Chang'an immediately jumped back and explained at the same time: "His Highness specially asked me to give it to you. During his absence in Kyoto, he asked Yingqi to protect you. Yingqi is very powerful. He collects information, investigates clues, treats diseases and saves people. Murder and arson... Ahem, they are all leaders!
Miss Qin must have a lot of things to investigate now. It's so dangerous outside, people can't get out, and those who can get out can't be trusted, so it's most reassuring to let Yingqi take action. "
Qin Zhongwan admitted that he was convinced by him.
She looked at the token in her hand and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll accept it for now. Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
"It's not hard."
Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief as if he had accomplished something big. When Qin Zhongwan asked about Jiangnan's current situation, Chang'an told her everything, and also talked about Gu Siyuan's care and concern for her in a roundabout way.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Chang An quickly said: "My mission is completed. I'll take my leave first. I'll see you later, Miss Qin Er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he climbed over the roof and disappeared.
Qin Zhongwan put the token in his arms and continued to grind the medicine.
After a while, Nanny Lan came to the yard: "Miss, the young lady is here."
Qin Zhongwan turned around and said, "Invite her in."
----
At night, Qin Zhongwan stood at the window holding the token, thinking about the next direction of investigation.
Those killers disappeared after that day and could not be traced. Qin Xiaoyun probably didn't know much about them, so the only way was to attack Chu Mingchen.
He is an extremely thoughtful person. If he wants to dig out clues, most people are afraid that he cannot.
So we can only ask His Royal Highness the Prince's secret guards to take action.
But how can we get them to come out and meet?
Qin Zhongwan looked at the token, then stuck his head out to look at the roof, and asked in a low voice: "Is there anyone there?"
There was a "whoosh" sound, and a black figure fell outside Qin Zhongwan's window. The person came in night clothes and a mask, and saluted Qin Zhongwan: "What are your orders, Miss Qin?"
Qin Zhongwan's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he said: "I would like to ask you to help me check Chu Mingchen. I suspect that he was the one responsible for the previous assassination."
The secret guard took the order: "I will do it now."
Qin Zhongwan nodded, and the figure of the secret guard merged into the darkness and quickly disappeared.
Yingqi was still very efficient. He came with the news at noon the next day. It turned out that it was just as Qin Zhongwan guessed, it was the person Chu Mingchen was looking for.
Those killers came from a killer organization named Shen Cang.
Shen Cang's organization is closely related to Wang Xie. Coincidentally, Wang Xie is the husband of Zhang Yu, the wife of Qin Zhongwan who saved Qin Zhongwan that day.
Looking at the clues sent by the secret guard, Qin Zhongwan slowly tapped his fingers on the table.
The relationship between these people inside is very subtle.
