The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

Sang Wan decided to find Shi Luochuan.

Now the only person I can trust is Shi Luochuan.

She vaguely remembered that Shi Luochuan's hometown was in Longwu Village, only ten miles away from Fengshui Town. If she walked back from Yunyan Village, she would probably arrive there by dawn.

Whenever she thought of Shi Luochuan, her heart felt warm.

Mountain roads are difficult to walk on, and they are even more difficult to walk on at night.

Even with her Qinggong skills, Sang Wan still had trouble finding her way in the dense forest. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally couldn't walk anymore and arrived at a dilapidated mountain temple.

I don’t know how long this dilapidated temple has been here, and the outside of the house is covered with spider webs.

The copper paint on the gate had long lost its color. Walking into the main hall, the statues of gods and Buddhas were already covered with thick dust, looking desolate and dilapidated.

She clasped her hands together and bowed: "Dear gods, I happened to pass by, please forgive me if I disturbed you."

The doors and windows were old and dilapidated, with drafts everywhere. The hall was in such a dilapidated state that there was almost no place to rest.

Sang Wan walked around behind the statue and found a dark corner to close his eyes and rest.

The dilapidated temple has been abandoned for a long time and has an unpleasant smell of decay.

Sang Wan's nose twitched, and he could faintly smell the smell of blood.

Following the smell, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside right to inside.

Someone's coming? At this hour?

She leaped to the roof of the temple and hid on the beams.

The torches illuminated the faces of the people coming. It was the assassins again.

Sang Wan sighed in his heart, what a narrow road for enemies to cross!

It turned out that this dilapidated temple was their stronghold.

"Brother, why did the Imperial Guards come to Fengshui? What's going on?"

"Yes. Pei Jinzhi deliberately set a trap for us tonight. The fourth brother..."

The man in black who was speaking was holding his shoulder, seriously injured.

"The fourth one was hit by a stray arrow and cannot be saved."

The eldest brother sighed deeply, his expression painful:

"We've suffered a series of setbacks this time, and lost three of our brothers. How are we going to report this to our Lord when we get back?!"

"If Pei Jinzhi doesn't die, we'll all die if we go back!"

"Yes, big brother! In my opinion, even if we keep an eye on him day and night and fight to the death, I don't believe that with a few brothers like us, we can't kill this sickly guy."

"That's right! A'Du, A'Song, and Old Four, their deaths cannot be in vain!"

"Yes, let Pei Jinzhi pay with his life!"

The eldest brother raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down: "Everyone sit down first, Third Brother, treat the injury on your arm as soon as possible, don't let it get too serious."

"Thank you, big brother!" The third brother took the powder and sat down to bandage himself.

"After today's defeat, we need to lie low and wait for the right opportunity to strike again."

"Brother, we've already lost three. We can't wait any longer."

"Wait. Must wait. Wait for the next fatal blow."

Sang Wan counted carefully and found that there were only five people left.

Who is the master they are talking about?

Tonight at Pei's house, they didn't seem to have gained any advantage. Pei Jinzhi was quite capable!

"Brother, I'm not saying this, but what does the Lord mean? To kill and protect at the same time?"

"Yes. They clearly sent us brothers to deal with Prince Pei, so why did they send the Imperial Guards? Could it be that they don't trust us brothers?"

"In my opinion, why don't we just confront Commander Baili and work together to kill Pei Jinzhi?"

The eldest brother glanced at them and scolded them in a deep voice:

"Nonsense. Don't try to guess at the saint's intentions."

"They clearly issued an order to kill without mercy, yet they sent Baili Xi right after. Is this a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole is waiting behind?"

The third brother, who was recovering from his injuries, was faintly resentful and angry.

"Yeah, big brother, I think what the third brother said makes sense. Could it be that he wants to kill us as well?"

"Brother, everyone in the capital knows that Baili Xi and Pei Jinzhi are good brothers who share the same trousers. We have been fooled."

"The government just told us to kill Pei Jinzhi, so we did it."

The eldest brother stopped his brothers from speculating further.

"If the emperor wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die. We in the Imperial City Bureau supervise all officials and punish corrupt officials. We are the eyes and ears of the emperor. How dare you question the emperor? Are you planning to rebel?" The eldest brother spoke harshly, his voice as cold as ice.

"I dare not!" The brothers knelt on the ground.

Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed along with his entire clan.

Sang Wan, who was hanging on the beam, was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

These assassins are actually from the Imperial City Bureau!

He was sent by the current emperor to kill Pei Jinzhi!

Is the Baili Xi they were talking about the same Master Baili? He looks so unruly and dissolute, but he's actually the commander of the Imperial Guards?!

Oh no, Pei Jinzhi...is finished.

Sang Wan's heart was pounding and his palms were sweating.

She was like a gecko on a beam, not daring to move.

The Imperial City is a place known for eating people without leaving any bones behind. Even the King of Hell would be skinned alive if he went in there. Sang Wan dared not go against them.

But should I tell Pei Jinzhi?

It was almost dawn, and it would be disastrous if they discovered him. Sang Wan slowly climbed up the beam, trying to get out through the hole in the roof.

But before he could move a bit, broken wood from the beam fell down with a crash, and Sang Wan's heart stopped.

The assassin below looked up and saw a black cat jumped down, meowed, and then fled out of the temple gate.

"Huh, damn it, I thought there was someone hiding." The third brother muttered.

The eldest brother's voice rang out: "Okay, it's not a good idea to stay here for long. Let's pack up and move to another place."

"Yes." The crowd began to pack up their things one by one, and soon walked out with torches in hand.

Sang Wan was almost scared to death.

This is not a cat, it is a living Bodhisattva who saves lives.

If the torch had been raised just a little bit higher, she would have died.

Oh, God bless me, I am not destined to die.

She jumped down from the beam, and a faint golden light flashed on the ground, dazzling her eyes.

Sang Wan curiously brushed away the dust and found it was a waist badge.

It was glittering with gold. On the front was written "Imperial City Division" and on the back were four characters: "Shang Yi Lai Jun".

It doesn't look like a person's name, what does it mean?

Sang Wan took a bite and found a mark on the gold medal, proving it was pure gold. This time, she truly believed their identities.

I found a treasure...I'm rich!

She put the badge into her bag and left quickly.

But, should I go find Shi Luochuan first, or inform Pei Jinzhi first?

It was obvious that these people from the Imperial City Bureau were not to be trifled with; but if she didn't tell Pei Jinzhi, she always felt that she couldn't get over it in her heart.

Whether he was the murderer of Sang Jun or not, now everyone has their own opinion. One of him and Madam Cheng must be lying; but he saved her many times and even secretly let her go, not punishing her as an accomplice of Tianxuan Sect.

The balance in her heart leaned more towards Pei Jinzhi.

Before the real culprit is found, he can't be allowed to die so easily. Yes, that's what I mean.

Sang Wan found a way out for herself and decided to let Pei Jinzhi know about this.

But the people from the Imperial City Bureau are now keeping a close eye on Pei Jinzhi day and night. If she rashly goes to Pei's house, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?

Forget it, I should quickly meet up with Brother Luochuan and think of a solution together.

He is so smart, he must have an idea!
