The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 552: Night Visit to Jingbei Hou Mansion

"Servants often disappear inexplicably? Do you think there are evil cultivators hiding in his mansion?"

After hearing Lin An's words, Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and asked his friends.

"On the day my sister was seriously injured and unconscious, Wang Siruo disappeared inexplicably without leaving any trace of her escape. Do you think she could have fled back to the capital and hid in the Jingbei Marquis Mansion? Could the servants who disappeared in the Jingbei Marquis Mansion have been used by her for cultivation? But when I investigated her before, I didn't hear that she had any relationship with the Jingbei Marquis Mansion? And the regent is going to ascend the throne tomorrow, but the Jingbei Marquis Mansion has been so restless these days, with people with high martial arts skills coming in and out frequently. Is there some conspiracy?"

Lin Ping's face was serious as he paced back and forth in the hall. His intuition told him that something big was going to happen.

"Why don't we go to the Jingbei Marquis's mansion at night to investigate and see what his intentions are? What does our entry into the capital at night have to do with him? The soldiers guarding the city went to inform him of this, and he even sent people to sneak into our yard to investigate us. We must find out the truth about this matter, and by the way, find out why he brought so many experts into the mansion!"

Daya thought about it, looked at everyone, and expressed her thoughts.

"I think it's okay. He must have no good intentions in staring at us. We should take the initiative to avoid being too passive."

Yuanyuan stood next to Daya and supported her proposal.

The kids all nodded, and they all thought it would be a good idea to go and find out what was going on, in case they got hurt and didn't know what was going on. It was always better to be cautious.

"Let's go check it out quietly first. We don't need everyone to go, otherwise it will be too easy to be exposed. If there is something wrong, it won't be too late for us to come back and call for help."

Seeing that all his teammates were changing into their team uniforms, Chen Qing thought that if they were just going to investigate, having too many people would be a disadvantage, so he looked at the captains and made a suggestion.

"Okay, then we, the captains, and Lin Ping will go to the Jingbei Marquis' Mansion. You guys wait here first, so that Brother Lin Kang won't be able to find us when he returns from the palace."

After several captains discussed it, Chen Youfu said to all the team members.

The team members definitely obeyed orders when it came to serious matters. After Chen Youfu and the others left, they sat obediently in the hall, practicing while waiting for news.

Chen Youfu and his companions were very fast. They carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and lay on the roof of a house in Jingbei Marquis Mansion. The entire mansion was pitch black at the moment. If their eyesight and hearing were not many times better than those of ordinary people, they would not have noticed that so many masters gathered in Jingbei Marquis Mansion in the dark night.

"Look at the bows and arrows on those people's backs. Aren't they used exclusively by soldiers in the army?"

Lin Ping raised his hand and pointed at the bows and arrows on the backs of the group of people closest to the lantern, and sent a message to Lin An and the others.

Several people looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the bow and arrow was indeed used exclusively by soldiers in the army. They had seen the soldiers use this bow and arrow during their time in the barracks.

"Marquis Jingbei has gathered so many soldiers, he must have some plan. Let's split up and investigate the Marquis Jingbei's mansion, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Daya carefully used her spiritual power to convey a message to her companions. After that, she made a gesture, telling them that she was going to go in that direction to find out the news, and then flew away.

Upon seeing this, Chen Youfu, Yuanyuan, Chen Qing, Chen Yan, Lin Ping and Lin An tacitly chose a courtyard each and sneaked in quietly.

Two quarters of an hour later, several people gathered together again, exchanged glances with each other, left Jingbeihou Mansion, and flew towards their own courtyard.

"Captain, you're back. How was the investigation going?"

"Is there an evil cultivator in the Marquis of Jingbei's mansion? Is Wang Siruo hiding there?"

"What does he want to do by hiring someone to investigate us?"

......

When the kids from Linshan Village saw them coming back, they gathered around them and asked a lot of questions.

Daya: "I found an evil cultivator in a remote courtyard of Jingbei Marquis's mansion, but he was not Wang Siruo. There was a black jar in front of him, and he looked like he was practicing. I didn't dare to get too close, and I don't know what the evil cultivator's cultivation level is."

Yuanyuan: "I heard Marquis Jingbei instruct a man in black to take action immediately when the Regent appears on the palace wall tower tomorrow! It seems he wants to murder the Regent!"

Lin Ping: "Two old ladies in the mansion of Marquis Jingbei were talking quietly in the house, and I heard them. According to them, the servants who disappeared in the mansion were quietly sent to the study of Marquis Jingbei. I suspect there is something fishy in the study!"

Youfu: "Several teams of people entered a secluded courtyard in the Jingbei Marquis's mansion, and their aura suddenly disappeared. Not long after, they reappeared in a courtyard outside the Jingbei Marquis's mansion. Judging from their walking posture and weapons, they are all military personnel, and they do not have the aura of cultivators. I suspect there is a tunnel or some treasure in the Jingbei Marquis's mansion that can allow people to change positions without anyone noticing."

Chen Qing: "There are a lot of fireworks and firecrackers piled up in a courtyard of the Jingbei Marquis's mansion, and there are two evil cultivators guarding it personally."

Chen Yan: "A man in black with great martial arts skills entered the residence of the Minister of Rites and handed a letter to him. He burned it after reading it. I didn't see what was written on it."

Lin An: "I found something very strange. None of the relatives of Marquis Jingbei are in the mansion."

Daya and the others shared their findings one after another.

"It seems that the Marquis of Jingbei is planning a rebellion. No, I must go to the palace immediately and report to the Regent so that he can be prepared!"

Lin Ping clenched his hands, looking anxious, then stood up and walked out.

"Lin Ping, wait a moment, let's go together!"

Chen Yan called Lin Ping to wait, and said to Damazi: "Brother Mazi, you hand over the man who sneaked into our yard to the assassins in the next yard, and then you divide into three teams. One team will go to the old prime minister's house to secretly protect the safety of his family. One team will go to General Cao Zhu's house to inform him of the matter and listen to his orders. Another team will go to General Cao's house to prevent him from getting into danger. The eldest sister is not in the capital. If there is really unrest tomorrow, we have to protect her relatives."

Lin An was just about to speak about this, but when he heard Chen Yan tell him what he wanted to arrange, he swallowed the words back.

Damazi nodded heavily and quickly divided the kids into three teams. The three teams flew towards the residences of the old prime minister, Cao Zhu and General Cao respectively. After Damazi handed the people over to the death squads, he sneaked into the old prime minister's residence and joined up with that team of kids.

Lin Ping and seven others flew towards the imperial palace at the fastest speed.

Seeing that the guards sent to Lin Xi's mansion had not returned for such a long time, Marquis Jingbei sent several men in black with high martial arts skills to sneak into Lin Xi's yard. Not only did they not find the previous guard, but those kids also disappeared. There was no one in the huge yard.

They had no choice but to return to Jingbei Marquis's mansion and report the matter to him.

After hearing this, Marquis Jingbei waved his hand to let them go, walked back and forth in the study room uneasily, then opened the secret passage and entered the underground palace.
