Chapter 284: Actually It’s Just a Dog
When Lin Congyun heard this, a sharp light flashed in her eyes. She stood up, slowly walked to the window, looked at the drizzle outside, but her heart was surging.
She turned around and said to the guard, "Tell me quickly, where is he?"
The guard did not dare to be negligent and quickly reported: "The old man seems to be related to the villa outside the capital."
"Villa?" Feng Lieyang frowned after hearing this. "Are you talking about the villa outside the capital?"
The guard nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, it's the villa I went to with the Second Prince last time."
"There's no one living there anymore, so why does this old man want to go in?"
When Lin Congyun heard what Feng Lieyang said, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, "Could there be another secret passage in the villa?"
"Secretly?" Feng Lieyang was stunned. "You mean, there are secrets hidden in the villa that we haven't discovered yet?"
Lin Congyun nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with deep thought: "It is very likely that the old man is very powerful in martial arts and would never appear in an abandoned villa for no reason, unless there is a secret in the villa that we don't know."
"So what should we do next?" Feng Lieyang asked.
"Investigate." Lin Congyun said decisively, "Send someone to investigate secretly. We must find out what secrets are hidden in the villa. In addition, we must also find out the identity and purpose of the old man."
The guards retreated in response. Lin Congyun walked to the window again, looking at the drizzle outside, his heart full of determination.
She must get to the bottom of it all and avenge the people in the General's Mansion.
Song Hongyi, who had met the Third Prince, has now stayed in the Third Prince's mansion as a guard of neither importance.
He is said to be a guard, but in fact he is just a dog of the Third Prince.
As for the old man, it was only when the Third Prince asked him to contact the old man that Song Hongyi realized that the old man was actually the Third Prince's man.
Thinking back, Song Hongyi also met this old man by chance. Now that he thought about it carefully, it turned out that the old man asked him to lure him to join the third prince.
Although Song Hongyi is still unwilling to be the Third Prince's lackey, it is still better than the precarious days before.
"Song Hongyi." At this time, a guard came over and looked at Song Hongyi with a proud face, "The third prince wants to see you."
Song Hongyi did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed the guards to the third prince's study.
"Greetings, Third Prince." Song Hongyi knelt on one knee with a respectful look on his face.
"Get up." The third prince put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Song Hongyi. "You said before that the old lady of the general's mansion was not burned to death, so what about the others?"
After Song Hongyi set the fire, he was caught by Lin Congyun. He had the chance to escape while putting out the fire, otherwise he would have died long ago.
However, he was not sure whether Lin Congyun rescued the people when he escaped.
“In reply to the Third Prince, I am not clear about it either. At that time…” Song Hongyi lowered his head, not daring to look at the Third Prince.
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's face darkened instantly, and his eyes became fierce, "So, you don't know if anyone else in the General's Mansion is still alive?"
"I don't know." Song Hongyi's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he felt full of regret in his heart.
The air pressure in the study dropped instantly, and Song Hongyi found it difficult to breathe.
"Idiot!" The Third Prince cursed, "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of me keeping you?"
Song Hongyi was so frightened that his whole body trembled. "Third Prince, please calm down. It is my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me."
"What's the point of punishing you?" The Third Prince's face was terribly gloomy. "The most important thing now is to make sure whether all the people in the General's Mansion are dead. If anyone is alive, you know what to do."
"I understand." Song Hongyi nodded quickly, "I'll check it out right away."
After saying that, Song Hongyi turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the Third Prince, "Wait."
Song Hongyi hurriedly stopped and turned to look at the Third Prince, "Third Prince, do you have any other instructions?"
"Be careful when checking, don't let anyone discover your identity." The third prince looked at Song Hongyi fiercely, "If you are exposed, you know the consequences."
"Yes, I understand." Song Hongyi was startled and nodded quickly.
He knew that if he was exposed, he would die.
Looking at Song Hongyi's leaving back, the third prince's face became terribly gloomy.
No one in the general's mansion must be allowed to survive, otherwise all his plans will be ruined.
Unexpectedly, within two days, Song Hongyi actually found some clues.
"Third Prince, I have found out something."
The third prince seemed to be wrapped in an invisible haze these days, and his mood was fluctuating.
In the night, his figure seemed even more profound in the flickering candlelight.
Outside the window, the occasional whisper of the night wind seems to be telling unknown secrets.
At this moment, Song Hongyi's hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the Third Prince's Mansion.
The third prince, who was painting in the study, heard the noise outside. He paused slightly with the brush in his hand, and the ink spread on the rice paper, just like his chaotic mood at the moment.
The Third Prince slowly put down his pen, raised his head and looked directly at Song Hongyi, "Tell me, what did you find out?"
His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to burst out from his chest with unquestionable majesty.
Song Hongyi bowed slightly and lowered his voice, the solemnity almost overflowing the air. He slowly said: "Third Prince, do you know the name of the current governor of Bianyun Pass?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the room seemed to freeze. The Third Prince frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt and confusion flashed in his eyes.
"I asked you to investigate the matter of the General's Mansion in depth, why did your information go around to Bianyun Pass?"
There was confusion and blame in his tone, but more of it was anticipation for the truth to be revealed.
Song Hongyi took a deep breath, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then he slowly said: "Third Prince, this matter is of great importance. During the investigation, I accidentally discovered a secret clue.
This clue actually points directly to the governor of Bianyun Pass. His name is also Fang Deyong. "
Hearing this name, a sharp light flashed in the third prince's eyes, as if he had captured something deep in his memory.
"Fang Deyong..." He repeated the name in a low voice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Go on." The third prince's voice revealed an unquestionable majesty, which made Song Hongyi shiver.
But he knew that he couldn't hide anything at this moment, so he continued: "According to my subordinates' investigation, the third son of the general's mansion is also called Fang Deyong..."
