Chapter 431 Take the first step

Ye Lanxuan's residence

"Your Highness, there is something unusual happening at the Marquis Mansion. Liu Hanzhou just went to Cao Yanhua's manor with a group of elite guards."

Ye Lanxuan's expression suddenly shook: "Send someone to the Cao Mansion immediately, and be sure to get rid of Cao Yanhua before Liu Hanzhou rushes there!"

"Yes!"

After the hidden guard retreated, Ye Lanxuan looked at the man in green shirt sitting opposite with a gloomy expression.

"I didn't expect that these idiots were so useless. They found a scapegoat and even risked their own lives. What if Liu Bin finds out who is behind this palace? Mr. Huang, what should we do next?"

The man in green shirt pondered for a while: "Liu Bin came prepared for this trip. If he kills Cao Yanhua, that's all. If you can't kill him, don't worry too much. You can rush back to the capital to take charge of the overall situation. As long as the Queen and the Queen are there, While Marquis Jing'an is here, there is no way Liu Bin is far away in Xinyang Mansion and can reach Tianting directly."

Ye Lanxuan pondered for a moment: "Okay, if you tell me, I can leave back to the capital!"

曹府

After learning that Jiang Chuan had been captured by Liu Bin, Cao Yanhua was anxious all day long. When he returned to his house early, he began to prepare gold and silver and prepare to run away in the dark.

However, the killer arrived earlier than he expected. When Cao Yanhua and his wife, concubines, and children were preparing to escape through the back door at night, a group of men in black climbed over the wall and blocked their way.

"Ah!" The women were so frightened that they screamed.

Cao Yanhua stared in horror at the masked man in black in front of him.

"Who are you?"

"The person who takes your life."

The masked man swung his sword and stabbed Cao Yanhua. Cao Yanhua reacted quickly and quickly pushed a concubine beside him to block the knife, while he turned around and started shouting for help.

"Someone, come quickly."

Seeing Cao Yanhua trying to escape, the man in black flew up and stabbed Cao Yanhua in the heart. At the critical moment, a stone flew out of the darkness and hit the man in black accurately on the wrist. A stinging pain hit him. He held the sword His hand suddenly lost strength, and the sword that penetrated Cao Yanhua moved an inch to the left.

"puff!"

Cao Yanhua spit out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.

At the same time, another group of men in black suddenly appeared nearby. They flashed like ghosts. After a fight, the previous group of men in black were no match for the newcomers and were quickly defeated.

"Keep alive."

"Yes!"

Wu Ming walked straight to Cao Yanhua's body, squatted down and tested his breathing.

"Master, he is still alive, but his breath is very weak."

"Bring the people back first."

"Yes!"

-

When Liu Hanzhou led people to Cao's mansion, Jiang Ci had already taken away Cao Yanhua, who was seriously injured, and two assassins in black.

At this time, only the mess and corpses on the ground were left here, as well as Cao Yanhua's surviving children.

His wife, concubines, and eight other children were all killed. The remaining two children survived because they were young and took advantage of the chaos to hide in a basket in the corner.

Liu Hanzhou stood in the night, his dark eyes scanning the corpses on the ground, and his men hurriedly came to report.

"Your Majesty, Cao Yanhua's body has not been found here. He may still be alive."

"Immediately send people to seal the city gates and search the city. Then Cao Yanhuasheng wants to see people dead and corpses!"

As soon as Jiang Chuan was brought back to the Hou Mansion, Cao Yanhua was assassinated on the back foot. The mastermind behind this must have been keeping an eye on the movements in the Hou Mansion, so he killed Cao Yanhua's family before him.

Now Cao Yanhua's more than ten wives, concubines, and children were all killed, leaving only a pair of young sons and Cao Yanhua whose whereabouts were unknown. This made Liu Hanzhou a little confused.

Since the assassin came to kill Cao Yanhua and even killed his wife, children and slaves, why is it that only Cao Yanhua's life or death is unknown?

What happened here just now?

-

A group of people entered the backyard of Jiang Mansion under false pretenses.

Yan Shu heard the noise and immediately walked out of the house, and saw Jiang Ci, Wu Ming and others in night clothes hurried back.

Jiang Ci turned around and ordered Wu Ming: "Send the person to the next room."

Wuming immediately took the order and left.

When Yan Shu saw that they had returned safely, his heart that had been hanging all night finally settled down.

"who's that person?"

Jiang Ci explained: "Cao Yanhua, the magistrate of Xinyang, must have been the one who confessed Jiang Chuan soon after he was captured in the Marquis' Mansion. By the time we rushed to Cao's Mansion, he had already been stabbed in the heart with a sword. I fed him on the way. A blood-coagulating pill hangs on his life, do you think he can be saved?"

"Okay, let me see."

Yan Shu took the medicine box and went to the next room. She walked to the bed and checked Cao Yanhua's wounds.

"The position has shifted by about two inches. It can still be saved."

Jiang Ci told Wu Ming, "You all retreat to the front yard. Don't let anyone else come near this room."

"As ordered!"

After Wu Ming left, Yan Shu immediately took Cao Yanhua into the space operating room and performed emergency hemostasis and repair surgery on him.

After an hour and a half of rescue efforts, Cao Yanhua's life was finally saved.

After the operation, Yan Shu took Cao Yanhua back to the room. Jiang Ci was sitting in front of the desk reading letters. When he saw Yan Shu coming back, he hurriedly put down the letter in his hand and got up and walked to the bed.

"How about it?"

"Repair surgery has been performed on him. He should wake up after the anesthesia wears off."

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci. He had already changed out of his night clothes and put on a simple and elegant robe.

She asked curiously: "Have you found out the origins of tonight's batch of assassins?"

Jiang Cidao: "I roughly guessed it."
