In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 150 The murderer is her

Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien took advantage of everyone's inattention and headed towards the west gate.

In the grove outside the city, Chen Ruotong entered the space again and changed into a long gown. She then took out a black long gown for Qiao Zien to change into, and then entered the city.

After entering the city gate, Chen Ruotong hired a carriage and drove to the clinic on Zhongjie Street. When they were almost at the clinic, Chen Ruotong waved her hand and Qi Si appeared in the carriage.

After arriving at the clinic, Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien helped Qi Si out of the car and sent him to the clinic for treatment.

Fortunately, after a careful examination, the doctor told them that Qi Si was not seriously injured and only had some minor injuries.

After hearing the news, the two finally felt relieved. Afterwards, the doctor skillfully cleaned Qi Si's wound, applied medicine and bandaged it, and arranged for him to recuperate in the patient room in the backyard.

Seeing that Qi Si had been properly settled, Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien stayed for a while and then got up and returned to the Chen Mansion.

Before leaving, Chen Ruotong specifically asked the clinic's pharmacist to take good care of Qi Si and ensure that he could recuperate with peace of mind.

Just like that, a thrilling adventure has come to a temporary end, but no one knows what kind of dangers will be waiting for them in the future...

Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien returned to the Chen Mansion. She quickly made arrangements and sent Qi Er to the clinic to take good care of the injured Qi Si. At the same time, she assigned several servants to rush to the west gate of the city to inform Governor Zhang, Chen Jianshu and others that Qi Si had been found.

Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen stood in the courtyard, their eyes fixed on their eldest granddaughter who was slowly approaching.

When they saw with their own eyes that Chen Ruotong returned home safely, they felt indescribable excitement in their hearts and tears flowed from their eyes like a flood.

Old Mrs. Chen hugged Chen Ruotong tightly and said with a choked voice: "Thank God for letting my grandson return home safely and unharmed!..."

Chen Ruotong gently comforted Old Lady Chen: "Grandma, your eldest grandson will not die. He is a blessed person. He is destined to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing!"

"Pah, pah, pah, don't say that unlucky word! Grandma only hopes that you can be healthy and live a long life!" Old Mrs. Chen responded with a smile while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Chen Ruotong helped Old Mrs. Chen into the main hall. Her family members were very concerned about her and asked her what had happened.

Chen Ruotong simply recounted the experience of falling off the cliff in a lighthearted manner, saying that she fell off the cliff and was caught by a big tree, thus saving her life.

This day was thrilling, and both of them felt exhausted. After nightfall, Qiao Zien stayed in the guest room of Chen's house to rest after dinner.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. It turned out to be Chen Ruotong knocking on Qiao Zien's door. The two sat opposite each other at the table and began to talk about the thrilling assassination.

Chen Ruotong was the first to speak: "Who ordered the group of people who assassinated me this time? With Zi En's intelligence, I believe he already has an idea, right?"

Qiao Zien nodded slightly, indicating her agreement, and responded, "Well, in my opinion, it was most likely done by Tian and Liang Zhilan. It is obvious that they have become suspicious of you, so they sent assassins to take your life.

Fortunately, you have space to escape danger! Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous! "At this point, Qiao Zien couldn't help but get angry, clenched his fists tightly, and slammed them hard on the table.

Then, a trace of determination flashed in Chen Ruotong's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "In this case, I must go to the capital again. I will definitely plunge the Princess's Mansion and your Marquis' Mansion into chaos. Since she is trying to take my life, I will severely torture her vicious heart, hehehe..."

After hearing this, Qiao Zien said: "I really can't feel at ease letting you go on the adventure alone. I will definitely accompany you on this trip!" Her tone was extremely firm and there was no room for negotiation.

"But, the autumn examination is coming soon, which will delay your studies..."

"Furukawa, your safety is more important than anything else."

"But……"

"No buts. I think I can pass the autumn exam this time, so my grades should be good. I won't miss these few days of studying."

"That's fine, but when you return to the Marquis' Mansion, you have to study hard. I can handle it!"

"Well, it's all up to you!"

The two agreed to go to the capital again three days later.

As for Liang Zhilan, as she got to know Tian and the Marquis' Mansion better, she learned that Chen Guchuan had returned to the Marquis' Mansion with Qiao Zien. Their return caused Tian to suffer from a heart disease and was punished by being grounded for half a year.

However, what really concerned Liang Zhilan was that Chen Guchuan's underwear business had not stopped. Moreover, his attempt to monopolize the market had already been heard by the emperor, and he was forbidden by imperial decree. As a result, the plan she and her father had carefully planned was completely thwarted.

At this moment, Chen Guchuan appeared in Beijing. At the same time, the warehouse and the underwear workshop were both robbed, and Chen Ruotong had just left Beijing.

Various signs indicate that this series of events seem to be inextricably linked to Chen Guchuan, but upon closer thought it seems hard to believe.

After all, with Chen Guchuan's power, how could he force the emperor to support him? Not to mention, what kind of ability did he have to empty the entire warehouse without anyone noticing!

Faced with such a complicated situation, Liang Zhilan pondered and made many speculations and inferences, but ultimately rejected them one by one.

At this point, she simply stopped worrying about it, and made up her mind, thinking: "Forget it! In this case, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and kill Chen Guchuan directly. In this way, all problems can be solved."

Therefore, Liang Zhilan secretly sent assassins to Pingyang City to kill Chen Ruotong.

These killers were like ghosts, closely tracking Chen Ruotong's whereabouts.

Finally, on the way back to the city, they found an opportunity to strike. When Chen Ruotong's carriage was halfway on the road, the assassins suddenly attacked and forced the carriage into a deep abyss.

The assassins who witnessed this scene were convinced that anyone who fell off such a deep cliff would have no chance of survival. Chen Ruotong must have died, and the mission was successfully completed.

After confirming the target's death, the killers did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately drove their horses back to Beijing. They wanted to report the good news to Liang Zhilan as soon as possible to let her know that the target had been eliminated.

After returning to the capital, the killers reported in detail the incident of Chen Ruotong falling off a cliff and dying.

When Liang Zhilan heard the news, a smug smile suddenly appeared on her face. The resentment that had been pent up in her heart for a long time seemed to be released all at once, and she felt extremely happy.

"Hmph, since you can't be of any use to me, you might as well die!" Liang Zhilan said gritting her teeth, with a vicious light flashing in her eyes.
