Soon, all those followers turned into bones.

Chu Tianshu returned to Jian Qingxuan's area to check on Jian Qingxuan's condition, and saw her huddled not far from Dou Chengfang, holding her knees in her hands in a daze.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Tianshu still decided not to show up for the time being and wait and see what happens.

Hidden in the dark, many things can be done much more conveniently.

He felt that if such a big thing happened in the city lord's palace, the second master would definitely come back to deal with it. If he could be killed without anyone noticing, he would have nothing to worry about.

…

Early the next morning, Fang Pifu, the master of Renyin Palace, and Jian Xizhou Yujian rode the wind.

They landed on the ground, attracting many envious eyes.

Originally, Fang Pifu was accompanied by a large group of followers.

But Jian Xizhou was so anxious that he couldn't stand the speed of walking on the ground, so he suggested taking a step forward.

After thinking about it, Fang Pifu followed him and came first.

Soon, after receiving the report, Chu Sui came out to greet him, followed by Jian Yun who was covered in injuries.

Jian Xizhou glanced at Jian Yun, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Xuan'er?"

Jian Yun leaned forward and said, "She was hidden by me. The city lord ordered that the young lady not be allowed to show her face until the second master comes back."

Jian Xizhou nodded: "Take me to find her."

Jian Yun said respectfully: "Second Master, please rest first. I will bring the young lady to see you."

Jian Xizhou looked at Jian Yun, his eyes flickering slightly.

From Jian Yun's words, he keenly realized that there might be some secrets in Jian Qingxuan's hiding place that were not accessible to outsiders.

Therefore, in front of so many people, Jian Xizhou didn't ask any more questions and just responded: "You go ahead."

After saying that, he turned to invite Fang Pifu: "Palace Master, you have been tired all the way. Can I arrange for you to wash up and take a rest first?"

Fang Pifu said calmly: "Okay."

Jian Xizhou winked at Jian Yun, and then he and Chu Sui led Fang Pifu away.

…

Of course, Jian Yun couldn't expose the secret passage in the mansion.

He left the City Lord's Mansion directly and walked around the city. After making sure that no one was following him, he came to a house not far from the City Lord's Mansion.

There is also a secret passage entrance in this house.

However, Jian Qingxuan did not enter the secret passage from here. She was directly sent into the secret passage from the entrance of Jian Xilai's study by Jian Yun.

Jian Yun could not let others discover that there was a secret passage in the city lord's mansion, so he could only choose to welcome Jian Qingxuan back outside the city lord's mansion.

Jian Yun entered the secret passage and came all the way to the place where he had let Jian Qingxuan hide before. However, he did not see Jian Qingxuan, but saw the bodies of Jian Cuilian, Zhan Pingyuan, and Dou Chengfang.

Jian Yun's heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly changed.

He looked around and called out in a trembling voice: "Miss...Miss..."

Jian Yun had already made up his mind that if anything happened to the lady, he would have no choice but to die.

Fortunately, Jian Qingxuan's voice soon came from not far away: "Grandpa Yun? I'm here."

Naturally, she couldn't stay with a few corpses all the time, so she changed places to hide, but she didn't go too far.

Jian Yun hurriedly rushed in the direction of the sound. Because he was walking too fast, he almost tripped over the corpse at his feet.

&                                                                                                                                                                                  He came to where Jian Qingxuan was, only to see that Jian Qingxuan's body was covered in blood and dust, and her hair was disheveled, her face was haggard, and there was no trace of her previous nobility.

Looking at Jian Qingxuan's appearance, Jian Yun's nose felt sore and his eye circles were red: "As long as it's okay... Miss, it's okay if you're okay..."

This old man, who had not surrendered despite being tortured before, could not help crying now.

"Grandpa Yun, don't worry, I'm fine."

Jian Qingxuan walked up to Jian Yun, stretched out her hand, and gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and then burst into tears: "Second aunt was hacked to death by me...Grandpa Yun, I hacked second aunt to death with my own hands."

ah……"

Jian Yun felt sad for a while, and comforted him with pity: "It doesn't matter. Miss, you don't have to blame yourself. Since they entered the secret passage, they all deserved to die."

If it weren't for his identity, Jian Yun would have wanted to hug Jian Qingxuan and comfort him.

Seeing Jian Qingxuan sobbing, his heart almost broke.

After Jian Qingxuan calmed down a little, Jian Yun said: "The second master is back, and the palace master is here too, so you have to let me know the situation here first, so that we can discuss how to explain to the palace master, Zhan Pingyuan and Dou Chengfang

After all, he is from Renyin Palace."

Jian Qingxuan thought for a moment and said eloquently: "Sister Dou had already brought me food yesterday, but she came down again not long after that because she heard her senior brother said that someone had found me..."

Jian Yun frowned: "Zhan Pingyuan may have suspected her, so he said that deliberately. The purpose is to test her."

"I think so too." Jian Qingxuan continued: "Not long after she came down, her senior brother appeared, and it was the man who followed her down... Later, Jian Cuilian also came with someone..."

Jian Qingxuan had calmed down at this time and told Jian Yun everything she saw and guessed based on the situation.

Speaking of Dou Chengfang being plotted to death by Jian Cuilian, Jian Qingxuan burst into tears again.

Jian Yun sighed: "City Lord!"

At that time, Jian Xi came to tell Dou Chengfang to take care of Jian Qingxuan. Jian Yun was puzzled. How could he expose such an important secret passage to Dou Chengfang?

Moreover, the less people know about Jian Qingxuan hiding in the secret passage, the safer Jian Qingxuan is, isn't it?

Now, seeing that Zhan Pingyuan and Jian Cuilian also died in the secret passage, Jian Yun vaguely guessed Jian Xi's intention.

The city lord wants to catch all the people with ulterior motives so that Jian Qingxuan can solve his worries!

After Jian Qingxuan calmed down, he noticed Jian Yun's condition and asked, "Grandpa Yun, who hurt you?"

"It's really hard to explain in words." Jian Yun looked complicated, "Old slave, this is all your own fault."

At that time, he felt that Jianxi was in a hurry and had not considered everything carefully, so he took it upon himself to build a few beast carts to hide from others. In order to avoid people's suspicion, he even asked Qing Qing to follow the cart himself.

It wasn't until he saw the corpses of Zhan Pingyuan, Jian Cuilian and others that he finally figured out all the joints.

In fact, he only had to strictly follow Jian Xilai's plan. All the extra things he did were superfluous, not only causing injuries to himself, but also to Qingqing.

Because someone with truly evil intentions would definitely not dare to harm Jian Qingxuan blatantly, and whatever they want to do must be done in secret.

In this way, what if someone with evil intentions finds Jian Qingxuan? Those who dare to sneak into the secret passage like Jian Cuilian and others will definitely not be able to get out alive.

To put it bluntly, Dou Chengfang was the introduction deliberately arranged by Jian Xilai, and he also knew that Dou Chengfang would definitely reveal his flaws.
