As soon as Rong Shu finished speaking, the people from the Seventh Prince's Mansion and the Ninth Prince's Mansion started fighting.

Qin Gang, Dalin, Xia Yin and Yang Li protected Lu Fugui and Lu Yanyan and hid to the side of the road.

Lu Changping, Han Huaijin and Li Jixin were deliberately arranged to sit near the window. The three of them looked at their relatives, their hearts burning with worry.

Today, the Seventh Prince met with Meng Qi, the confidant of Queen Meng, and told Meng Qi what Wu Jin and others had said.

Meng Qi was very good at martial arts and was once sent by Queen Meng to serve as a guard to the eldest prince.

On the day the eldest prince was assassinated, he was summoned into the palace by Queen Meng. Only after entering the palace did he find out that he had been sent away.

The previous king loved beauties. When the eldest prince learned that a stunning beauty had arrived at Qiuyue Tower, he thought of going to Qiuyue Tower to buy her before his other brothers.

He was worried that his other brothers would get there first, so he wanted to bring the person back quietly, and only brought two servants with average skills. However, he was killed before he even reached Qiyue Tower.

When Meng Qi arrived, the eldest prince had already fallen in a pool of blood. He only saw the figure of the murderer.

Originally, both the queen and he believed that it was the fifth prince who did it, and they only blamed the previous king for being obsessed with beauty and not ordering the death of the fifth prince.

But today the Seventh Prince said that he had found clues that may be the real murderer of the First Prince.

Meng Qi followed the Seventh Prince to Lianyang Restaurant.

After listening to Wu Jin and others talk about the details of the seriously injured man, Meng Qi felt that it matched the figure in his memory.

Seeing Meng Qi was furious, the Seventh Prince tried to persuade him.

These people were all children back then, and Wu He was forced to save them.

Whether the real murderer can be caught in the future depends on the Wu family. After all, they have never seen the assassin's true face.

Although Meng Qi hated the Wu family for harboring the assassin, he also knew that what the Seventh Prince said was the truth. He suppressed his anger for the time being and waited to settle the score with the Wu family in the future.

Of course, the Seventh Prince didn't care about the life or death of Wu Jin and the others, but he needed these people to play the next role.

When the two groups started fighting downstairs, the Seventh Prince winked at Wu Ping.

Rong Lie, the chief guard in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, is very good at martial arts. The most rare thing is that he is good at light work.

Mr. Qu said that it doesn’t matter whether the blame can be put on Rong Lie or not.

The important thing is that as long as Queen Meng becomes suspicious, she will definitely discover that the Meng family has changed the clues about Luyan County for the Ninth Prince without her knowledge.

A woman's suspicion can be ignited with just a small spark.

The more unclear the clues are, the more it proves that the Meng family and the Ninth Prince did a lot of things behind the scenes, and the more it proves the Ninth Prince's suspicion.

Besides, the magistrate of Luyan County has always been the Ninth Prince's man.

This is enough.

Wu Ping received the seventh prince's gaze, but his eyes were not on Rong Lie, but on Qi Ye.

"Wu Xin, do you think that man looks like Master...the assassin?"

Wu Xin is as simple-minded as ever.

"Not like."

The Seventh Prince was almost pissed off at Wu Xin, this idiot. Didn’t he tell him before he left that he should just respond to Wu Ping’s words?

Wu Ping pointed at Qi Ye and said, "Isn't that the middle-aged man in the gray-white robe the master?"

Wu Xin also saw it: "It is very similar. However, after so many years, I don't remember it clearly."

The conversation between the two had already attracted Meng Qi's attention, and he also looked at Qi Ye.

The seventh prince was stunned. This was different from the plan.

He clearly asked Wu Ping to identify Rong Lie, the chief guard of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, so how come it became another person?

At this time, the fight downstairs was intense.

Qi Ye also took action, and as soon as he did, the situation immediately turned around.

In just a moment, everyone in the Seventh Prince's Mansion fell to the ground.

Meng Qi's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't recognized the man because he was wearing a thick cotton coat. But when he saw this move, he knew he was right. This man was the real murderer who killed the eldest prince.

Meng Qi flew downstairs and headed straight for Qi Ye.

Before Qi Ye could react, Meng Qi grabbed his collar.

His face changed drastically, and he pulled hard, tearing the clothes from his neck to his shoulders, revealing blue writing.

Meng Qi was shocked. How could he be from Nanlai?

Wu Ping and Wu Xin also saw it, and they both shouted, "He is the master."

The Seventh Prince never expected that it would be such a coincidence.

What I didn’t expect was that Lao Jiu was so stupid that he dared to keep the murderer by his side.

God really helps him, hahahaha!

Qi Ye saw Wu Ping and Wu Xin's faces turn horrible, and threw two flying knives straight at their faces.

Wu Ping grabbed Wu Jin and dodged.

Wu Xin was stabbed in the shoulder and screamed in pain.

Meng Qi was no match for Qi Ye and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. As he fought, he shouted, "This man is a wanted criminal. Whoever can catch him will be rewarded handsomely."

Qi Ye was furious and struck Meng Qi in the chest with a palm.

Seeing that Meng Qi was about to be hit, Dalin stepped forward, pulled Meng Qi away, and started fighting with Qi Ye.

Meng Qi came to his senses after recovering from his shock. Seeing that Dalin was no match for Qi Ye, he quickly stepped forward to help.

The three of them were fighting back and forth in mid-air, and outsiders couldn't get involved at all.

Dalin and Meng Qi are no match for Qi Ye in a one-on-one fight.

But when the two of them came together, Qi Ye pale in comparison.

He looked worried, and with a wave of his sleeve, a cloud of medicine powder flew out.

Dalin fell heavily on Meng Qi.

Meng Qi also felt his whole body aching and weak, unable to stand up, and in the end he could only watch Qi Ye escape...

Qi Ye fled to a secluded place, met the people who came to pick him up, wiped off the paint on his back, changed his clothes, and soon drove his carriage towards the gate of Xianzhou.

Before the martial law in Xianzhou, Qi Ye took the pass to the Seventh Prince's Mansion that Dalin secretly gave him and left Beirong openly.

Meanwhile, at Lianyang Restaurant, the Seventh Prince tried hard to control his excitement, ran out of the door, and helped Meng Qi up.

"Rong Shu, go get the doctor."

Rong Shu didn't understand what was going on until he saw the blue words on the back of Qi Ye's neck.

Looking at Qi Ye's appearance again, he seems to be somewhat similar to the master Wu Ping mentioned.

His heart was pounding. Was it a coincidence or was it human?

However, Rong Shu didn't have time to think too much at this moment. No matter what it was, he had to put the blame on the Ninth Prince.

"Yes, I'll go get the doctor right away."

"Commander Meng, how are you?"

Meng Qi was helped up by the Ninth Prince and looked at the direction Qi Ye escaped with murderous intent in his eyes.

Meng Qi was drugged and all he needed to do was wash his face with cold water.

He didn't even look at the seventh prince and went straight back to the palace.

The Seventh Prince was in a good mood and didn't care about Meng Qi's rudeness. He looked at the goods in Lu Fugui and his group's car with a happy expression.

Lu Yanyan and Han Huaijin looked at each other, and then quickly turned their eyes away.

Lu Changping looked at Lu Fugui with some worry, and was glared at by Lu Fugui without leaving any trace.

The Seventh Prince looked at the silk embroidered with a Saker Falcon. The Saker Falcon looked so lifelike that even from a distance, it seemed as if its eyeballs were moving.

Rong Shu also asked the doctor to come back. Meng Qi had already left. Rong Shu thought of Dalin's skills and asked the doctor to take Dalin's pulse.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince was in a good mood looking at the goods of the Xiqi merchants, Rong Shu asked Lu Fugui and his party to deliver the things to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

After some bargaining, Lu Fugui and others felt a little regretful that they did not receive the title of transport merchant, so they took the money and left.

Rong Shu originally wanted to let Dalin stay, because he could see that Dalin's kung fu was better than Meng Qi's.

But that stubborn guy wasn't tempted at all and insisted on going back to Xiqi, saying that Beirong was too cold and he didn't like it. Rong Shu was so angry that he almost cursed.

Wu Jin and his companions also wanted to leave. Rong Shu originally wanted to keep Wu Ping, but he was worried that Queen Meng would become suspicious, so he let the young men leave.

Since Meng Ye, the steward of the Luyan County magistrate, was the murderer who killed the eldest prince, there was no need to silence these young men. Just leave them to Queen Meng.

[There are too many characters, so some readers may not understand. Let me explain. The eldest prince of Beirong is Queen Meng's biological son and the original heir to the throne. The ninth prince is also from the Meng family. Eight years ago, Prince Lin killed the eldest prince, intending to frame the ninth prince. However, to protect the ninth prince, the Meng family destroyed the clues left by Prince Lin. Queen Meng was unaware of this.]

Qi Ye was the person who cooperated with Prince Lin at that time. After the death of the eldest prince, Qi Ye changed his name to Meng Ye and became the steward of a county magistrate who was affiliated with the ninth prince. The next year, he would be the ninth prince's man.

Wu He and Qu Yi were both members of Prince Lin's family. Wu He, claiming to have a hard life that would bring bad luck to those around him, rarely interacted with others, making his actions less likely to be discovered. Li Jixin and others were the ones who disguised themselves as members of Wu He's family. Qu Yi was the Third Prince's staff member.

Last year, Li Jixin killed the old King of Beirong, and a bunch of princes fought each other to the point of bloodshed. The Ninth Prince had the support of the Meng family and would soon become the new king. The Seventh Prince and the Third Prince formed an alliance and prepared to assassinate the Ninth Prince.

Lü Changping and his companions deliberately displayed their skills and were taken away by the Seventh Prince's men. They also deliberately revealed a piece of information to the Seventh Prince: the assassination of the First Prince might be related to the Ninth Prince.

The Seventh Prince and the others believed that the Meng family's cover-up was a fact, but it was impossible for the Meng family to have killed the eldest prince. Qu Yi's idea was to first prevent the Ninth Prince from ascending the throne. How could they prevent this? He could make Queen Meng suspect the Ninth Prince of being the murderer of the eldest prince. Whether it was true or not didn't matter; Queen Meng would surely find traces of the Meng family's involvement, and that would be enough.

So the Seventh Prince specifically sought out Meng Qi, the former guard of the First Prince, and had Lü Changping falsely accuse the Ninth Prince's head guard of being the murderer of the First Prince. Li Jixin, however, intended to use this opportunity to completely antagonize Queen Meng and the Meng family.

So Qi Ye, who had cooperated with King Lin back then, showed up. Lu Changping said that Qi Ye was my master. Meng Qi also discovered that Qi Ye was the figure he was chasing back then. Qi Ye then showed the fake Nanlai logo.

From then on, the plan was implemented. Without knowing what was going on, the Ninth Prince was identified by Queen Meng as the murderer of the First Prince.
