In a dark room, there were only two people, He Guangyi and Guo Yuanshan.
He Guangyi was sitting, and Guo Yuanshan stood beside him with a bow.
The latter slowly told the details of the assassination of King Qin, while He Guangyi's face became more solemn the more he listened.
"That means no one was caught alive?" He Guangyi asked.
"No! After the incident, the Chief Secretary's Yamen and Tang Zhentai arrested all the people on that street, and then started arresting people along the way where the assassin fled. Some local ruffians were arrested, but none of the assassins were caught."
"Later, the Chief Secretary Yan Fantai ordered that the soldiers carried the roster and went from house to house to check. All the men under the low-level staff were also dispatched to follow the investigation, but there was still no news!"
He Guangyi's fingers kept tapping on the table, "It's probably impossible to find out. Since those assassins dared to assassinate King Qin in the street, they must have thought of a way out." He said, his tone was a little lower, "Maybe, the heads of these assassins
There’s an umbrella up there!”
Having an umbrella over your head means someone is protecting you!
Guo Yuanshan did not dare to answer this, let alone could not answer it.
After all these years as a royal guard, what kind of conspiracy have you not seen?
"Maybe, these assassins may be a huge force!" He Guangyi said in a low voice.
As he said that, he looked at Guo Yuanshan, "Do you know why I'm here?"
"I'm humble and stupid, sir, please tell me clearly!"
He Guangyi stood up and turned around a few times, "Let me ask you, have you noticed anything unusual in these years in Xi'an?"
"You mean?"
"Am I asking you or are you asking me?" He Guangyi looked unkind.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out.
Guo Yuanshan said cautiously, "I haven't found anything wrong in my humble position in Xi'an these years. Not to mention the old King of Qin, the new one is a low-key and honest person. Even if he eats, drinks and has fun every day, he will not go out of his way."
"Previously, several of the heirs of the old King Qin were granted the title of county princes, and their contacts with the palace were not very close. They all enjoyed their blessings behind closed doors. If this is wrong, it is the eldest son of the original old King Qin, who is now Yongxing County.
king."
"He was supposed to inherit the title, but now he is only a county king. Logically speaking, he should be unhappy, but he advocates eating fast and chanting Buddha's name every day."
"Who asked you this?" He Guang said angrily, "Among the people, are there any abnormalities among the people? You are in charge of the Army and Horses Division, but you haven't caught anyone with any abnormalities?"
Guo Yuanshan was even more confused and said in a trembling voice, "Are you saying that Beizhi really didn't notice it? Dutang, you know that Beizhi is a stupid person, so please say it clearly if you have anything to say!"
He Guangyi sighed, "White Lotus Sect!"
"Ah!" Guo Yuanshan was horrified and stood on the spot, "White Lotus Sect?" He said, shaking his head like a rattle, "I haven't really heard of the humble position." At this point, his face suddenly changed, "Are you here?
"
"Shaanxi, there is a riot in the White Lotus Sect! They are still a group of deserters, hiding in a temple in Mian County!" He Guangyi said, "These people have been lurking for a long time!"
Hearing this, Guo Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Mian County is not within the scope of his responsibilities. As long as Xi'an doesn't exist yet, then everything will be fine. If Xi'an does exist and he doesn't know about it, then it will be a damnable crime.
"Originally, I came here at the request of the Emperor, asking the King of Qin to mobilize a group of personal guards to take down the bandits in one fell swoop!" He Guangyi's voice became unfathomable, "But now it seems..."
"It's just the time when King Qin is assassinated, so I'm afraid I might be in a bit of trouble."
"Pig head!" He Guangyi scolded, "Think carefully! Is it possible that the White Lotus Sect was responsible for the assassination of King Qin?" As he spoke, his eyes almost burst into flames, "What if King Qin dies and Xi'an is in chaos?
The White Lotus cult bandits took advantage of the chaos and took over the city to rebel!"
"No, no!" Guo Yuanshan was stunned, "Tens of thousands of troops are stationed around Xi'an City, who dares to be here?"
"Calling you a pig is just flattering you!" He Guangyi said angrily, "Is it the same if I kill the King of Qin and they take advantage of the chaos to raise the flag in other places? When the government is in a state of distress, who will care about them?"
Only then did Guo Yuanshan understand, and he was obviously very frightened.
Because He Guangyi said this, it is really possible.
Suddenly, his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was numb. If this was really possible, it would mean that those White Lotus cult bandits had become organized, premeditated, manned, and even had weapons.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Who?" Guo Yuanshan asked.
"Master Qianhu, there is news from the palace!"
Guo Yuanshan also led a team of royal guards, who were usually lurking everywhere.
"What news?" Guo Yuanshan asked.
"The Palace of Qin has found out that a eunuch named Liu Baoer is missing!" The man outside the door said, "This little eunuch entered the palace in the 20th year of Hongwu. First he was Xiaoli of the palace, and then he entered the Shanfang!"
Then, the speaker went away again.
Inside the room, Guo Yuanshan said to He Guangyi, "Sir, look at this eunuch."
He Guangyi looked solemn and said, "The eunuchs in the dining room can go out of the palace because they want to make purchases. Moreover, they can know immediately whether the King of Qin is in the palace or not. Because if the King of Qin is not here, they don't have to pass on the food!"
"Then this eunuch is the key!"
He Guangyi shook his head, "It's useless. Since this person has disappeared, 80% of the time, if I were an assassin or the person behind it, I would never allow him to live!" As he said this, his face became extremely solemn, "If it's someone from the White Lotus Sect and the palace.
If they hook up, there will be endless troubles!"
~~~
"In the ditch on the west side of the royal city! An unrecognizable corpse was found. Judging from the clothes and size, it was Liu Baoer!"
In the palace of the King of Qin, Zhu Shanglie was sitting on the throne, listening to Gao Zhi's report.
"I arrested all the people who interacted with Liu Baoer on weekdays. They were tortured and tortured but they couldn't tell the truth! Everyone said that this person is usually diligent and boring, but he doesn't like to talk much, but there is nothing weird about his behavior!"
After hearing this, Zhu Shanglie had a sneer on his face, "Humph, the more you look at an honest man, the more he harbors evil intentions!" Then he sneered again, "I left the palace temporarily, and only Shanfang knew about it. Liu Baoer tipped off the assassin, so that
I almost died alone!"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who wants to die alone?"
Tang Fu stood aside, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is a thousand years old. It seems to me that Liu Baoer is a spy who colluded with the assassin, but I am not in a hurry to make a conclusion!"
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and continued, "I still don't know where this assassin came from, whether he was instructed by someone else or what. But it has obviously been planned for a long time, and he has already thought of a way out!"
"They should have expected that the palace would definitely conduct an investigation after your assassination. I was wondering if someone would deliberately push Liu Baoer out and use his death to create an illusion?"
"Think about it, if you really want to kill people and silence them, why do we need to find the bodies? If you kill them and bury them from a distance, if you don't see the dead people alive and don't see the corpses, wouldn't we have more headaches?"
"It seems to me that these people's methods are a little too obvious!"
Hearing this, Gao Zhi nodded frequently.
Zhu Shanglie also understood and said in a deep voice, "So, if someone puts the blame on Liu Baoer, then the real spy is still in the palace?"
Before Tang Fu could reply, a guard from outside came in to report.
"Your Majesty is a thousand years old. He Guangyi, commander of the Imperial Guards, wishes to see you!"
"Why is he here?" Tang Fu was surprised.
But Zhu Shanglie suddenly became happy, "I don't know why he came here, it's because of another thing!" He said, standing up, "He came just in time, they were just about to investigate this ghostly thing!"
