【Three hundred and ninety-nine times】The ring ring

Dou Yueshan did have some inferences about these masked men who knew Ning Nanyou's true identity, but at the moment he was worried that Jiang Chengjia was unconscious and just wanted to get the three herbs from the Protectorate's Mansion as soon as possible. He was really not in the mood to start and carefully recommend them.

"Mr. Xiao, this is not the most important thing right now." Dou Yueshan skipped this topic and bowed to Xiao Sa and said, "Now... I have an urgent matter that needs Lord Xiao's help."

When Xiao Sa saw him saluting, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you asking for?"

The young man did not rush to say anything, but made a request to him. Xiao Sa turned sideways and looked in the direction he pointed. There was no trace of obstruction on the empty path, and it was extremely quiet.

Xiao Sa was puzzled and saw Dou Yueshan raising her foot forward. His eyes stagnated, hesitated for a moment, and followed closely.

Dou Yueshan led him around the Guo area next to the city gate for a long time, and stopped in front of a simple house. He only heard the fence in front of the house creaking, shaking, and a gloomy feeling oozing.

Xiao Sa was surprised in his heart. He looked up and down, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the young man in front of him walking inward.

He did not dare to leave and entered the house with the young man.

As the two of them entered the threshold, someone in the room became alert, jumped out with a long sword, and immediately wanted to fight with them.

Dou Yueshan shouted in time: "Sir! It's me."

The man holding the sword suddenly stopped, and the blade hung an inch above the young man's head.

This simple hut is in the deepest part of the west area. It has been abandoned for many years and is in rags. The windows are nailed to death from the inside out, without any wind.

In the gloomy and dull environment, there are only three or two beams of sunlight leaking out from the gap.

The man holding the sword to defend himself slightly relaxed his tense nerves and took two steps. His figure happened to be reflected in the sunlight, revealing his face. Xiao Sa looked closely and couldn't help but be surprised that Ji Xianzhi had come here at some time. It seemed that he had been guarding this house and had not left. So who was Ji Xianzhi who was following the army of the prefect's house?

Dou Yueshan had never turned her head to see Xiao Sa's expression at this moment, but she knew in her heart that he must be full of doubts at this moment, so she explained, "Mr. Ji, who had just traveled with us, was played by Lu Xun."

"What are you doing here sir?" Xiao Sa asked in a low voice with a tight brow.

Dou Yueshan pointed to the corner of the house. Xiao Sa looked over and saw another person sitting in the darkness without saying a word on the straw, wearing a simple long gown, his hands and feet were tied up with ropes and satin, leaning listlessly against the mud wall.

Taking advantage of the dark light in the house, Xiao Sa carefully identified the person and said in surprise: "Jinwu? He is not dead?! So... isn't the real Jinwu in the ox cart?"

Dou Yueshan then spoke, "No, I replaced the real Jinwu by me. The person who died on the long street was an assassin who attacked the dungeon last night."

Xiao Sa looked stunned and asked blankly: "Dou Xiaolangjun has long known that there will be an assassin killer on the long street?"

The young man shook his head and showed a helpless expression: "The killing on the long street is something I expected. I was just uneasy... I made some preparations in advance, but who would have thought... it would really come in handy. However, in this situation, it was a bit unrealistic for Mr. Ji to take Jin Wu away from the border town alone.

In the city, there are not many guards left by Junhou, who protect the safety of Junhou and Hou’s wife. They can keep an eye on the movements everywhere in the border town at any time and do not move people without any action... Therefore, I can only ask for help from you. I wonder if you can arrange a team of confidants... to escort Jinwu to Jianye?"

After hearing what he said, Xiao Sa was surprised again: "Mr. Dou wants to send Jin Wu away? Why is this? Didn't you say last night... to betray this person and confront Deng Qing on the spot?"

The matter has reached this point. Except for Xiao Sa who can help them, no one else can trust them. Dou Yueshan can no longer hide their original plans, so she sighed softly and explained: "Mr. Xiao... It is related to the private affairs of the Lord, so I cannot say much, so I chose to hide it from you. However, now that such a thing has happened on the long street, I can't continue to hide it, so I will tell you the truth.

Mr. Ji and I didn't plan to escort Jin Wu to the Protectorate to confront Deng Qing at the beginning. This person has too much evidence of Deng Qing. If he rashly pushes it out, he will lose a good-looking woman who can prove Deng Qing's guilt. Last night, the Jingshuwei had copied Jin Wu's testimony into documents... We went to the Protectorate to hold these documents, which is enough to confront Deng Qing. Even if it cannot be directly proved, it will make Deng Qing panic and dare not refute the conditions we put forward."

Xiao Sa was even more confused when she heard it: "Why... the little man wants to use other people to pretend to be Jinwu?"

Dou Yueshan said patiently: "I asked others to pretend to be Jinwu and escort them to the Protectorate's Mansion just to make Deng Qing say nothing. This person is cunning. If Jinwu is not pushed to him, he may not admit the crime of sending someone to poison the Marquis's wife. If he had to exchange Jinwu for his exchange, he would agree to our conditions, so that he would be able to get away with it."

When he said this in detail, Xiao Sa understood a little and nodded, "So that's it? I understand. Since the young man said... he should help him with all his strength and immediately selected people and escort Jin Wu out of the city with Mr. Ji."

When Dou Yueshan saw him agreeing, she felt a little relieved: "Mr. Xiao, after Jinwu is sent out of the city, we still have to prepare, but this time... we need to go to the Protectorate's Mansion quietly."

When Xiao Sa heard this, he was full of worry: "You still want to go to the Protectorate Mansion? Now, the prisoners have been almost killed... There is such a big noise in the long street, but the Protectorate Mansion has no reaction at all. It can be seen that this killing is inseparable from Deng Qing. How can you still go rashly at such a time?"

"Mr. Xiao, things should not be delayed again and again." Dou Yueshan said with a firm look on her face, "Mrs. Hou's health is getting worse day by day. If she waits any longer, she may die without waiting for the border town to finish everything."

Xiao Sa lowered his eyes and looked solemn.

He knew that Jiang Chengjia needed three precious medicines to attract, and also knew that the reason why Dou Yueshan, Ji Xianzhi and others wanted to exchange military achievements with Deng Qing was not just to clear the royal palace of Pingding, but also to seek medicine for Jiang's daughter.

However, what he was worried about was that Deng Qing might not have the three drugs mentioned by the doctor. Behind the long street bloody case, it is very likely that Deng Qing was controlled. Since this person dared to act so boldly, he must have some advantages. If he didn't think about it carefully and then went rashly, he would probably not get any benefits.

Dou Yueshan had already made a decision in her heart. Seeing that he was still hesitating, she advised: "Mr. Xiao, Deng Qing is so crazy. If she doesn't make the words clear, I'm afraid the border town will cause bloody storms. Only when the matter is settled can we settle. Otherwise... how can we find out the real murderer behind the poisoning of Junhou?"

As soon as this said, Xiao Sa immediately looked at him and said in confusion: "What does the little husband mean? Could it be that... the poisoning of the king is also related to Deng Qing?"

Dou Yueshan said something and her face froze and she said silently.

His expression said everything, Xiao Sa said in panic: "Are you kidding at Xiaolang Dou? Junhou was poisoned by someone more than a month ago. At that time, Deng Qing had been kidnapped by the thieves. How could he instruct people to poison them?"

Dou Yueshan sighed: "Sir, I have not said that Deng Qing, the instructor behind the poisoning of this lord."

Xiao Sa's eyes were confused: "Then you..."

Dou Yueshan: "I just guess that the poisoned man has some connection with Deng Qing, maybe the two of them are in a cooperative relationship."

Xiao Sa was confused and confused when he heard this. He still wanted to continue asking questions clearly. Dou Yueshan did not give him this opportunity: "Mr. Xiao. No matter what the truth is, if you and I continue to rush into this hut... Then let alone Junhou and Madam Hou, we can't save the Cao family.

Deng Qing is causing such a problem now, and if he cannot find a way to solve it, he will inevitably go to extremes. Once he reveals the news that Cao He is in the border town to Deng Guozhong for help, then it will be too late."

He tried hard to explain and urged him.

Xiao Sa read the anxiety in his eyes and looked at his expression secretly. He didn't seem to be worried about ruining the negotiation with Deng Qing. He put a beating heart back, hesitated for a while before reluctantly agreeing: "Okay... I'll listen to what the young man said. It's just... I hope that the man can give someone an explanation afterwards."

Dou Yueshan nodded repeatedly and said, "This is natural."

After the two arranged Ji Xianzhi and Jin Wu, they turned back to the prefect's mansion and sorted out the recorded documents and various testimony together.

Not long after the riots on the long street, Dou Yueshan and Xiao Sa set off again. This time, they only brought three or four followers, and walked around the path, avoided all the pedestrians, and quietly went to the Protectorate's Mansion.

At that time, Deng Qing returned to the palace from the teahouse and had been waiting in the front hall for half a day, but he had not seen Xiao Sa and others come. Just when he thought that the group would not come again today, the gatekeeper hurriedly reported: "General... Outside the palace, the governor of Yongzhou, Xiao Sa and the governor of the prefecture, asked for a meeting."

Deng Qingyi sat in front of the table, shook his hand holding the teacup, secretly curled the corners of his lips, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was still thinking: If these two people didn't come, what way should he think of to lead them to come?

Deng Qing calmed down his mind, held back the gushing joy, and restrained him: "Let them come in."

The concierge said "very" and ran to the mansion, leading Dou Yueshan and Xiao Sa to the main hall.

Looking at the courtyard from afar, the dead trees are in panic.

Dou Yueshan, wearing a plain dress, carried her hands on her back, walked towards the inner hall with steady steps.
