Houfu Jiaojiao is so cool after her rebirth

Chapter 120 Price
On the other side, Yan Ce, who was acting together with Jian Chong, found a restaurant, sat quietly on a stool and sipped fine wine, while waiting for his men to search for the whereabouts of the assassin.

In fact, Yan Ce didn't have too much expectation for finding the assassin, but just took this opportunity to exercise his own guard's ability to do things. After all, a long-term comfortable life will make people lazy.

"Young master, this subordinate has found the assassin!"

While Yan Ce was tasting fine wine and admiring the scenery outside the window of the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, Jian Chong suddenly appeared behind Yan Ce to report.

Yan Ce was startled at the time, turned around and asked, "Did you find it? Where is it?"

Jianchong looked at Yan Ce in front of him, he hesitated, but he still said: "In a hotel 500 meters away from the assassination site, it's just..."

Yan Ce was about to praise Jian Chong, but when he heard that he obviously still had something to say, he straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Just tell the truth about anything, there is nothing to be afraid of, your family Young Master, do I seem to blame others for no reason? Say it quickly!"

"Yes, son. The assassin is dead, and my subordinates don't know what to do, so I ask you to decide!" Jian Chong bowed immediately.

Yan Ce frowned when he heard the words, and said puzzledly: "Dead? The person behind it is really a good trick! So decisive to kill people! Or..."

Yan Ce wanted to guess whether it was the people from Changqinghou's Mansion who did it, but he immediately vetoed it himself. If the people from Changqinghou's Mansion caught the assassin, he would definitely spare his life so that he could interrogate the person who asked him to assassinate behind the scenes.

The only possibility is that the person behind is afraid of being exposed, so he resolutely kills the assassin. If there is no proof of death, the person behind can still hide.

Figured this out, Yan Ce also ordered: "Jianchong, leave the rest of the matter to the government, you go and tell everyone to come back!"

"But...Young Master, no one from the government has shown up until now, could this be..." Jian Chong reminded intentionally.

Yan Ce shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, they will definitely come. Things like this in Shengjing will definitely reach the emperor's ears.

The governor of Shengjing City usually has a lot of opportunities, and he is deeply afraid of offending the powerful and powerful in Shengjing City. He is probably worried that his meddling in this matter will be involved in a turmoil that he cannot intervene in.

It's better to be late than never. If you get impatient, you can report to the officials yourself. Do you understand? "

Jian Chong suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed and said: "This subordinate understands, this subordinate will do it now!"

After watching Jian Chong leave, Yan Ce poured himself another glass of wine and drank it on his own. During this time, he couldn't help but think of what he heard outside Xue Mi's carriage, and felt more at ease.

Not long after, Jian Lie sent both Xue Mi and Xue Xuan to the door of the Hou Mansion.

"Miss Xue, the Hou Mansion has arrived, and I have to go back to report to the young master, so let's say goodbye." Jian Lie said goodbye to Xue Mi who were getting off the carriage.

Xue Mi saw that Jian Lie was about to leave, so it was inconvenient to stay with him for a long time, but she just said: "Thank you Jian Lie for sending me and my sister back. I have to trouble you and your son today, and the little girl will come to thank you in person someday."

"Ms. Xue is too polite. I hope that the two Ms. Xue will be more careful when they go out in the future. I should go!" After finishing speaking, Jian Lie saw Xue Mi nodded to him, so he turned to the servant of the Yongchang uncle's mansion he had brought. The order said: "The people of the uncle's mansion set off to see the young master!"

At this time, Xue Feng, the guard of the Hou Mansion, walked up to Xue Mi and Xue Xuan, and said respectfully: "You two girls, Lord Hou ordered me to send someone back to the Hou Mansion first after I received the two girls safely. Tell Hou Ye, it is estimated that Hou Ye has been waiting in the mansion for a long time."

After Xue Mi and Xue Xuan looked at each other, Xue Xuan said: "Well, let's go in quickly, don't make Dad wait too long!"

Xue Mi agreed to go forward and hold Xue Xuan's hand, and the two entered the gate of the Hou Mansion hand in hand. Xue Feng also quickened his pace to overtake the two of them, and walked into the hall of the Hou Mansion first.

"Master Hou, the two girls have returned to the Hou's mansion safely, I will come and report to you!" Xue Feng knelt on one knee and saluted Xue Song.

Xue Song sat on the main seat, and replied solemnly: "Okay, I understand, let's go down and receive the reward!"

Xue Feng replied "Yes" respectfully, then turned his head and walked out of the hall. At this time, Xue Mi and Xue Xuan also entered the hall.

"Father, the daughters are back!" After Xue Xuan stood still, she saluted generously.

The seriousness on Xue Song's face faded immediately after seeing the daughters, he hurried down from the high hall, walked in front of the two daughters, looked left and right, and said distressedly: "Okay, okay, why should Xuan'er be so polite? Get scared on the road!"

And Xue Mi seemed a little more relaxed and natural, and she pretended to be afraid and grabbed Xue Song's arm, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, you don't know how dangerous my sister and I encountered on the road.

The benefactor who helped us drive the car just fell straight in front of us, with a dart in his heart, and blood flowed all over the floor. My daughter thought she would never see her father again! "

Xue Song also patted the back of Xue Mi's hand in fear and said: "It's okay! It's okay! Don't worry, Dad will definitely send more people to protect you in the future. If something happens to you, how can I be sorry that you left early Mother, leave the rest to your father and me, and make sure those who want to harm you will pay the price!"

At the end, Xue Song gritted his teeth a little bit, which shows the anger in his heart at this moment.

Seeing that her father was really angry for them, Xue Mi was also very moved, but she still persuaded: "Daddy calm down, don't be angry."

As she said that, Xue Mi patted Xue Song on the back lightly to comfort her.

Xue Xuan also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Daddy, haven't we come back safely! The government will handle the rest of the matter, Daddy, don't tire yourself out!"

Xue Song also felt very happy when he heard that his daughters cared so much about his body, but when he thought of the governor in Shengjing City, he became very angry, but he couldn't scold in front of his daughters, otherwise it would destroy the whole family. The image of him in the minds of his daughters.

Xue Song quickly calmed down and said, "It's not okay to leave the next matter to the government. They are afraid of offending the nobles in Shengjing City. If they are asked to investigate, there may not be any news after a few months. well……"

Xue Xuan frowned and said, "Daddy, is this really the case?"

Although Xue Xuan was the wife of Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, she didn't know very well about the government affairs, so she couldn't help asking.

But Xue Song didn't want his daughter to worry about these things, so he just said: "Xuan'er, you don't need to worry about these things, and Dad is here! You can take a bath in peace of mind and have a good rest! As for going to Regarding the matter of Helan Mansion and Li, let me see if there is a chance in the future and I will personally mention it!"
