From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 214

Beicheng Bingmasi, Siwu Building.

The waning moon was like a hook, and snow was falling. Xiong Kuohai hurried to Bingmasi Hutong and knocked hard on the door.

When the night soldier led him in, Zhou Yuan was also a little confused: "What big thing happened? Why come here so late?"

"What a big thing!"

Xiong Kuohai gritted his teeth and said, "I was kicked out in the cold weather. It's all your fault."

Zhou Yuan said, "What do you mean?"

Xiong Kuohai said, "It's all because of the broken method you taught me. You said you must take him down, but I used it on my wife, and she almost divorced me."

Zhou Yuan was shocked and said quickly, "How did you do it? You messed up the matter."

Xiong Kuohai said, "I followed your method. I kept saying I was tired these days, but she was very happy. Those who hurt me, giving me a massage again, and washing my feet again. "" I think about it, and put forward a non -scoring request in bed, thinking that if she disagrees, she will definitely feel guilty. You are giving up, but you are still gentle to you. "" What excessive request did you put forward? "Xiong Kuanghai smiled embarrassed and said," I said I want to walk away. "Zhou Yuan was silent. Then he patted Xiong Kuohai on the shoulder and said with emotion: "And you, my friend, you are a true warrior."

Xiong Kuohai said: "It's useless to say these now, let's talk about business. You sent two teams out tonight, and they were noticed by the Jinyiwei. The secret letter was sent to me. Do you want to report it?"

Zhou Yuan was shocked. The Jinyiwei were really not just eating and drinking. They also kept a close eye on my Beicheng Bingmasi.

He said in a deep voice: "Can you keep this a secret?"

"Of course."

Xiong Kuohai smiled and said: "After all, he is the second in command. He can still make decisions on one or two small matters, but how can you be sure that only the Jinyiwei noticed it? The water in Shenjing is much deeper than you think."

Zhou Yuan said: "Then you have to help me clean it up. This matter cannot be investigated by others. That is two million taels of silver!"

Hearing this, Xiong Kuohai was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said in surprise: "Bullshit, is this about silver! What are you going to do with this silver, I can guess it!"

Zhou Yuan said: "So I asked you to help me clean up the tail. They can know that I have taken action, but they must not know what I am doing. "

Xiong Kuohai frowned and whispered: "In that case, we can't hide it from the commander. Although he is friendly to you, he may not offend other forces for you."

Zhou Yuan glanced at him and said: "Do you plan to be a commander for life?"

"I understand!"

Xiong Kuohai said directly: "I will take care of this matter, you can rest assured."

Speaking of this, he patted his head and said: "I almost forgot, there is one more thing. Our North Pacification Division has received news from a secret agent in a killer organization. They have received an order to assassinate Princess Qinshui tomorrow."

Zhou Yuan suddenly raised his head and said in a serious voice: "Is the news okay?"

"No problem."

Xiong Kuohai said: "The source of the news is very reliable, and it gives Sufficient evidence, before dusk tomorrow afternoon, the location is Beishan Hunting Ground. It is said that Princess Qinshui will go there to hunt. "

Zhou Yuan thought for a while and said: "Princess Qinshui is quite skilled, ordinary assassins can't take her down."

"Who knows?"

Xiong Kuohai waved his hand and said: "These people have many tricks, what if there is an insider? I mean, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Nonsense, Princess Qinshui controls the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is a core figure of the royal family. Her attitude basically means the attitude of the royal family."

Xiong Kuohai was confused and glared: "In this case, who would want to kill her?"

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Only the royal family, maybe some royal family figure thinks she is in the way Road, to replace it. "

"I checked the news in recent years. It is said that Princess Qinshui has been reducing the expenses of the royal family, causing many royal family members to have difficulty living."

Xiong Kuohai sneered: "It is a luxurious life."

Zhou Yuan said: "The royal family is very important. I am also trying to win Princess Qinshui. I can't let her die. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs changes people, then my previous preparations will be in vain."

"Help me keep an eye on these killers. I will stay in the office building tomorrow and wait for your news."

Xiong Kuohai said: "I understand. Then I will withdraw. Maybe I will take action tomorrow. After all, she is a powerful princess. Jinyiwei can't stay out of it, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Didn't she get kicked out of the house?"

XiongKuohai snorted, "I have several concubines, so why can't I stay overnight at your place?"

He strode out, but stopped suddenly at the door.

He turned around and said, "Master Zhou, is something big going to happen?"

Zhou Yuan knew that he couldn't hide it from him. He knew the news that two million taels of silver had been shipped out, and he should be able to guess other things.

"Yes."

Xiong Kuohai heard it and said, "What does it matter if it succeeds or fails?"

Zhou Yuan said, "If it succeeds, it will be like a dragon rising from the abyss, and if it fails, it will change the world."

Xiong Kuohai took a breath and smiled bitterly, "Then you have to be careful. We are grasshoppers on the same rope. I don't want to be executed before I have a few days of good life."

"It's just one person."

Zhou Yuan smiled.

After Xiong Kuohai left, he also walked out of the office building and said in a deep voice, "Ask Zhang Fei to see me."

"Yes."

The guard in the dark responded.

A moment later, Zhang Fei hurried over and clasped his fists, saying, "Sir, is there something urgent?"

Zhou Yuan said, "I just received intelligence that Princess Qinshui is going north for winter hunting tomorrow. Someone is planning to assassinate her. We have to protect her."

"Pick a few good people, keep an eye on the princess's mansion, follow her secretly tomorrow, and help when necessary."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "No problem, but sir, we are now using more of our strength to protect the safety of the Zhou Mansion and Madam. There are not many other people. If the killer is too powerful, we can't handle it."

Zhou Yuan said, "Don't worry, there are others to protect her. Besides, Princess Qinshui is a master herself, but she doesn't know how to kill and has no experience, so she is easily ambushed."

Zhang Fei said, "Then I'll take my leave and go prepare directly."

"Go."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and fell into deep thought.

Assassinate Princess Qinshui? This happened very suddenly.

After all, this woman has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for seven or eight years, and she has been reducing the expenses of the royal family every year. If someone is dissatisfied, they should have been dissatisfied long ago.

If someone wants to kill her, they should have done it long ago. Why did they do it at this time?

What happened in Shenjing recently that forced someone to secretly manipulate this incident? Is it the right time?

Zhou Yuan took out his little notebook and looked at the things he had recorded before, and his mind suddenly became clear.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "So that's it, so that's it, someone wants to be a hero in exchange for Princess Qinshui's attitude!"

The assassination was simply a cover! It was deliberately arranged by the person behind the scenes!

The purpose is to be a hero and save the beauty, to gain the favor of Princess Qinshui, and thus to win the cooperation of the royal family at a critical moment.

Zhou Yuan smiled.

It seems that everyone is striving for the royal family recently!

I'll be the hero!

You want the royal family, I want it too, and I even want Princess Qinshui's body.
