Yang Xu gave Yang Fugui a wink. Yang Fugui understood and smiled "hehe" and took the man in black out of the woodshed like a chicken, and walked out of the woodshed.

There is a row of wooden stakes on each side of the empty ground outside the Yang Family Restaurant for temporary horse ties.

Yang Fugui took the man in black to the wooden stake, took off his clothes in a few seconds, leaving only a calf to cover the vital points, and then tied it firmly to the wooden stake.

The man in black had something in his mouth. At this time, even if he bit his tongue and committed suicide, he could not even curse. He felt extremely humiliated and struggled hard. He was "um" in his mouth and nose, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot.

Yang Hongyu and Yang Jing were secretly monitoring, and if someone came to rescue or silence them, they would take action.

With the strength of the two of them joining forces, as long as they are not masters appearing, they will be sure to keep them.

"Bang!"

A slap in the face and slapped a man in black hard in the face.

Two bloodshots spilled out of the corner of the mouth of the man in black, and his cheeks suddenly became swollen.

"I asked you to check Yang Xu's identity, but you can't even handle this little thing! Waste! A bunch of waste! I raised you for so many years!"

That night, in a secret room in the Jin Palace, the second prince of Zhao State, Zhao Yi, the King of Jin, pointed to a man in black kneeling in front of him, furious and yelling, and his gentle and elegant image disappeared.

"The original intention of my subordinate is to catch Yang Xu, force him to find out his true identity and release him. However, I didn't expect that when I was about to succeed, a woman suddenly appeared. The woman's strength should be a first-class expert. My subordinates and others are not their opponents, so I had to withdraw first. Sun Huai walked a little slower and fell into the hands of the other party..."

The man in black knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice.

"I am passive when Sun Huai was arrested! The Qin Palace may intervene in this matter. If Sun Huai confesses you and the Qin Palace follows the clues, it is possible to find out the King here... What should I do now?"

Zhao Yi said angrily.

The man in black was one of the trusted guards of Jin. He was ordered to investigate the identity of the other three shareholders of the Yang Family Restaurant except the Qin Palace. However, he did not expect that when he attacked Yang Xu, he failed and a subordinate fell into the hands of Yang Xu and others.

Zhao Yi was previously known as a wise king in the officialdom of Zhao and among the people. If this matter was spread, it would be a blow to his reputation, so King Zhao Yi of Jin was so angry.

"Sun Huai is a human being, and his subordinates understand that he falls into the hands of the other party and will not disclose his identity even if he dies. However, for safety reasons, we must try to save people immediately. If we cannot save them, then we can only... silence!"

A sharp light flashed through the eyes of the man in black.

"Maybe the other party will use Sun Huai as bait, set up a trap, and wait for you to take the bait..."

The King of Jin smiled coldly.

"The subordinates will send a few dead soldiers to come. It is best if they can succeed. If they fail, they will break themselves off on the spot and will not cause trouble for the prince."

The man in black said resolutely.

King Jin sat down dejectedly, waved his hand powerlessly, and said, "You can do this! If you can't do it well, you don't have to come back to see me!"

"yes."

The man in black bowed deeply to the ground, then slowly stood up and retreated.

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace.

Today, the eldest prince of Zhao State, the crown prince Zhao Ji is talking with several confidants about the assassination of Yang Xu.

Yang Xu was talented and good at managing finances. He was very famous in the imperial capital and had an old age with the Qin King Zhao Bang. Therefore, he entered the vision of the prince Zhao Ji and received special attention from Zhao Ji.

In Zhao Ji's view, even if talents like Yang Xu cannot be used by him, they must not easily let their third brother Zhao Bang be included in their pockets, becoming a great help for the third brother to fight for the throne.

So in terms of his own interests, Zhao Ji hoped something would happen to Yang Xu, so when the news came that Yang Xu was assassinated but was safe, he felt a little regretful.

"You guys say, who will do this assassination of Yang Xu?"

Zhao Ji was in a good mood today and asked several subordinates with a smile.

A subordinate thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I think this matter is not done by ordinary people."

The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Let's hear..."

The subordinate said: "Average people know that such a top hotel as Yang Family Restaurant has a tough backer. How dare they provoke it? Moreover, it is said that the four men in black who assassinated Yang Xu are all masters. How can ordinary people do it?"

The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are not an ordinary person, you should be some powerful people."

The subordinate said, "And it's not an ordinary powerful person! Now, who among the powerful people in this imperial capital knows that the Qin Palace is standing behind the Yang family restaurant? If Yang Xu dares to touch him, he will be unable to get along with the Qin Palace. Looking at the imperial capital, there are only a few who can challenge the Qin Palace..."

The prince chuckled and said, "These few include this prince and the good second brother of this prince."

The subordinate said, "Since this matter was not done by the prince, only King Jin is the most suspicious... Of course, my subordinates are just guessing."

After a pause, he said, "Your Highness, the King of Jin seems to be not interested in the throne on the surface, but in fact, his threat to the position of Your Highness is even more important than the King of Qin. We may be able to take advantage of Yang Xu's assassination to make a fuss..."

The prince thought for a while and said, "Although the King of Jin is suspicious, there is no evidence. How can we do this article?"

The subordinate smiled sinisterly: "There is no evidence, we can create some evidence... It is easier to frame this kind of thing."

The prince's eyes flashed. After thinking for a while, a ruthless look appeared in his expression. His palm slapped the tables in front of him: "Don't do it!"

※※※

The assassination of Yang Xu has been heard by many people who are paying attention to him, including Zhao Bang, the King of Qin and Yan Feixue of Yihongyuan.

Zhao Bang didn't say anything, but just asked Su Cheng to secretly pay attention to the matter. At the same time, at the request of Yang Xu, he sent someone to investigate the matter secretly.

When Yan Feixue learned that Yang Xu was fine, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about who would kill Yang Xu.

For a moment, undercurrents were surging in the imperial capital, and many people's eyes were gathered on the Yang family restaurant and Yang Xu.

Yang Xu, who is at the center of this storm, seems to be fine, eating and drinking as freely as before.

Because the Yang Family Restaurant offers a reward of 1,000 silver, thousands of people came to the imperial capital after hearing the news to see if they could recognize the man who had been stripped of his clothes and tied to the wooden stake outside the Yang Family Restaurant.
