Chapter 266 Different endings for the Ming family.

It is hard to describe the feeling in the heart of Mr. Ming Si, who was sitting in the carriage waiting to die.

He didn't know whether they were sending people to kill him alone or if they were also sending people to kill his other brothers. He could still recognize the voice of the old servant of the Ming family outside. He was in despair, and his hatred for the old lady of the Ming family had already broken through the sky.

But he is not good at either civil or military affairs, so what other options does he have except waiting to die?
But he was wondering why there was no movement after so long? It would only take two stabs to kill him, but the killer didn't get into the carriage. Could something have happened?
Although there was no sound outside the carriage, the frightened Fourth Master Ming still did not dare to lift the curtain to check.

Just like hiding in a quilt to avoid being caught by ghosts, the carriage curtain was his psychological defense line at this time. Ming Siye was like an ostrich burying his head in the ground, as if he was safe as long as he could not see him.
"Get off the carriage and follow me!"

The man held a long knife in his hand, breathing heavily, and glanced at the parked carriage. He lowered his voice and said, "After some time, the master will need you to testify in the yamen!"

It's Gundam who's talking!

It turns out that he came to Suzhou City quietly!
He is an eighth-grade cultivator, and although he has not made any progress in many years, his martial arts skills are comprehensive and varied.

It made him breathe a little faster, so it was obvious that the killer was quite capable! But was it a bit of a waste for such a skilled fighter to kill a useless person?
Mr. Ming Si raised his head in astonishment, and slowly opened his eyes. A glimmer of hope shone from his confused and turbid eyes. He supported himself on the carriage with his arms, his whole body sore, and he did not speak for a long time.

Although he didn't even see the killer, he felt completely exhausted and dizzy, and was grateful that he had escaped death!

"Sir, please wait a moment and let me recover some strength!" Fourth Master Ming swallowed his saliva and forced himself to calm down. He pulled open the door curtain and saw the bloody scene outside. His stomach, which had just relaxed, began to feel uncomfortable again.

"You don't need to get off the carriage, just turn around and go back to the mansion! When the master has finished his business, he will come to find you!"

Gundam didn't say whether he would be in danger in the future, but thinking that Lord Fan still needed him, Fourth Master Ming had nothing to worry about.

"Thank you very much for saving my life!" Mr. Ming Si bowed to Gaoda. He did not ask Gaoda's name, nor did he linger. He just pulled the reins and steered the carriage back.

"Find two skilled people in the academy to keep an eye on him." Gao Da was from the Tiger Guards and was the leader of the Tiger Guards. Although he and the Supervisory Council were under Fan Xian's command, they were not in the same system. Just in case, he just reminded the people around him. "I have finished my job, so I will leave first!"

After saying that, Gundam climbed onto the wall behind him and disappeared on the spot.

After Gundam left, several people from the Overwatch Council arrived at the scene and began to set up the murder scene without saying a word. They first took away all the arrows, then took out some special weapons and began to point them at the corpses.
After everything was arranged, they picked up a beggar with difficulty walking and threw him under the eaves of the opposite house.

Two fat chicken legs and a steamed bun in a cloth bag, this was the beggar's reward.

A person from the Overwatch Council smiled and walked up to the beggar, saying, "Do you know what to say?"

"Don't worry, Master. I know everything!"

The beggar didn't touch the chicken leg, and even ate the steamed bun slowly. He really looked more like a rich man than the rich man.
The official from the Supervisory Yuan smiled again. He was worried that he might choke, so he prepared some clean water in advance. But judging from his current condition, it seemed that it would not be of any use.

He nodded, waved his right hand, and several people cleaned up their own traces and returned to the original path, disappearing in the field.

After the officials from the Supervisory Council left, the beggar put away all his things. Then his face suddenly changed and he started shouting at the top of his voice: "Murder! Murder! Help!!!"

······
In the Governor's Mansion, the leader of the Jiangnan Road was sitting quietly in the study at this moment. He did nothing but wait for news on the wooden chair.

"How long has the Imperial Envoy been in Mingyuan?"

Xue Qingqiang held back from asking this question just now; this was the limit of what he could do after years of scheming.

There was another person in the study room. He was not Xue Qing's housekeeper, but a staff officer in the city guards. He clasped his fists and said, "It's been an hour. Although Lord Fan has gained nothing, he has no intention of retreating."

"So he is sure that the problem lies in Ming Garden?" Xue Qing couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "I don't know who he buried in Ming Garden, but he can even find out such news."

"Sir, it is better for us to know less about the affairs of the Overwatch Council."

The city guard staff officer smiled slightly, even though he was sitting in the room, as if he was experiencing the scene himself.

Xue Qing looked at him and frowned, then closed his eyes and said nothing after a moment.

The two of them fell silent at the same time, waiting for news from Mingyuan again. At this moment, the butler of the Governor's Mansion walked quickly into the study, walked behind Xue Qing, leaned over and whispered softly in his ear.

Xue Qing was stunned, his lips slightly parted, with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing the staff officer looking over, he just sighed and said, "I'm going to send troops to Mingyuan."

The staff officer no longer had his confident look on his face. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't figure out what had happened that would cause the governor to take such a risk.

"This Ming family is really not simple. No, perhaps it is more appropriate to describe them as ruthless and cruel!"

"But there was a fight in Mingyuan?" asked the staff officer.

"If that were the case, it would be simple!"

Xue Qing shook his head: "The incident did not happen in Ming Garden, but in Hua Garden in the city where the Ming family was holding a birthday banquet!" He stood up and ordered: "We are not going here to stop the imperial envoy, but to protect his safety!"

The staff officer's expression changed and he asked, "Could it be that the Ming family has an excuse?"

"Let all the military officers of the city guard come to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters!"

"Use the excuse of inspecting the city governance as an excuse to secretly transfer half of the troops to Mingyuan, and the remaining half will surround Huayuan! No matter who the guests are, don't let them get away for the time being."

The old lady of the Ming family is dead!
The fourth master of the Ming family was assassinated on the way to Huayuan! And the person who killed him was the servant of the first house of the Ming family! This has become known to everyone in the city.
······
"Great! That's a damn great job!"

Fan Xian's face was full of bitter smiles at this time. Apart from shock, he had no other emotions. He originally wanted to use swear words to vent his emotions, but he didn't expect that after just one curse, more swear words followed in his heart.

"This is even more cruel than me!"

Fan Xian had anticipated the situation and circumstances of their search of Ming Garden. The other party was submissive and would not fight back or retaliate. He did not expect that they would cause him a big disaster at the birthday banquet!
The outside of Ming Garden was now surrounded by the Black Cavalry. It seemed that the news could not be transmitted in so quickly. He still had time!

When Gaoda used his Qinggong skills to come in front of Fan Xian, he brought the news that the fourth son of the Ming family had escaped from danger and that the old lady Ming had hanged herself to death.

"Sir, Huayuan has released news that the old lady Ming hanged herself because she couldn't stand our harassment for many months and today's oppression. Although we have to bear some infamy, her suicide was her own business, and we didn't ask her to do it!"

Gundam cried out in indignation.

"It's different!" Fan Xian just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
