"Second elder brother is interested." After saying a polite word, Yunli said: "I was not in the mansion when those thieves attacked. I also heard from Soli and others afterwards, but the thieves did not enter the mansion.
Then he was beaten back, and I was not surprised at all."
"That's good." Hongshi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "By the way, I heard that one of the people who was chased by those thieves was rescued into the mansion by Uncle Seventeen. I don't know.
How is he now?"
Yunli glanced at Hongshi with some surprise and said: "Second Brother's news is so fast. He even knows about this matter. I don't know where he got it."
Hongshi's heart skipped a beat. Damn it. He was so focused on meeting Hongli earlier that he forgot about it. He just said it directly. It would be troublesome if it aroused Yunli's suspicion. The Seventeenth Uncle looked at Wen Wen.
He is elegant and looks harmless, but he has the trust of Emperor Ama and is ordered to manage the affairs of the vassal. How can he be a simple person?
But now that the words have been spoken, there is no point in regretting them. He can only think of ways to make amends quickly. Under intense thinking, Hongshi really thought of an excuse. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said: "Such a big thing has happened in the capital. Please inquire a little bit."
I know, but I can only find out that some people escaped to Guojun Prince's Mansion, but I don't know about the others."
"That's it." Yunli nodded slightly. Just now, Hongshi suddenly said that someone had escaped into the Guojun Prince's Mansion. He was indeed a little surprised, but as Yunli said, this matter was too big and it had already caused a lot of trouble.
The city is full of wind and rain, and as long as a careful person pays a little attention, he can find out a lot. It is not surprising that Hongshi would know.
Because he almost let something slip just now, Hongshi did not dare to ask further questions about Hongli. Instead, he changed his mouth and talked about Ma Qi. After talking for a while, Fang brought the topic back, "Uncle Seventeen, did that person ever tell you
Who wants to assassinate Mr. Ma Qi? Mr. Ma Qi has been working diligently and devotedly to serve the court over the years. I really can’t figure out who wants to kill him so cold-bloodedly."
While waiting for Yunli's answer, Hongshi's clenched palms were sweaty, fearing that he would hear the news that Hongli had woken up, because that meant that Yunli might know the whole thing. Fortunately, Yunli said: "Others
I haven't woken up yet, and I haven't visited him yet."
Hongshi secretly let out a breath and asked, "Uncle Seventeen, can you take me to have a look? Master Ma Qi's condition is very bad, and there is no news about the remaining people. He is our only clue."
Yunli glanced at him and said, "Second brother wants to investigate this matter? But this matter is already being investigated by Shuntian Mansion."
"I know, but since I'm here, I just wanted to take a look, hoping to find out something, so that Huang Ama can feel at ease as soon as possible." At this point, he lowered his head and said: "With such a big thing happening in the capital, it is bound to happen.
We must alarm the Emperor. If this matter is not resolved for a day, the Emperor will not be able to rest at ease."
"That's what you said." With that said, Yunli stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to take a look. I hope that person is awake."
Hongshi quickly agreed and followed Yunli to the backyard. Along the way, he carefully thought about what Yingge had said to him several times before, just in case he missed anything later. However, he said to Hongli
For these things, Yunli must not be present, and he must find a way to distract Yunli.
When they passed by, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture also received an urgent summons from the palace, ordering him to enter the palace immediately to see the emperor.
After finally entering the palace, Shuntian Prefecture Yin was already sweating profusely, not from the heat, but from fear. Such a big mistake had happened, and he, the Shuntian Prefecture Yin, bore the brunt of the responsibility. He didn't know what the emperor would do with him. Alas!
Shuntian Prefecture Yin shook his head as he thought, and walked heavily towards the vermilion palace door. When he saw him coming, Sixi came up to him and said, "Sir, please go in quickly, the emperor is inside!"
"Thank you so much, Eunuch." Shuntian Prefecture Yin reluctantly said a word, then opened the door and walked in. He walked to the middle with his head lowered, knelt down with endless fear and said: "I am here to see the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"
Yinzhen raised his head from the imperial desk, stared at Shuntian Prefecture Yin who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face and said, "How is the investigation of Ma Qi's case?"
Faced with Yinzhen's straight-to-the-point question, Shuntian Prefecture Yin was sweating profusely and knelt down and said: "If I go back to the emperor, I will be investigating, but now... I don't have a clue yet."
What responded to Shuntian Fuyin was the heavy sound of the folding paper being thrown on the table, which made him tremble, "I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After a period of suffocating silence, Yinzhen asked again: "How is Ma Qi doing now?"
Shuntian Prefecture Yin said bravely: "Wei Chen has asked a doctor to diagnose and treat Mr. Ma Qi. He said that his head and back were injured. He doesn't know when he will wake up. In addition, even if he wakes up, the most optimistic situation is that he will be on crutches."
Yinzhen suddenly walked down and said sternly: "Luo Fang, you are Zhang Tingyu's student, and he recommended you to me. Now see for yourself what you have done to the capital, and you are letting those evil people who don't know their origins."
He assassinated the first rank of the current dynasty, and later implicated the Prince of Guo County."
"Wei Chen deserves to die!" Yin of Shuntian Prefecture kept kowtowing to plead guilty. As for Yinzhen knowing that something happened in Guojun Prince's Mansion, he was not surprised at all. As an emperor, he naturally had his source of information. "Wei Chen has sent an official document to the nine admirals.
Sir, please ask him to strictly investigate everyone entering and leaving the capital, and be sure to arrest those murderers."
Yinzhen looked at him for a while, then called Sixi in and ordered: "Immediately pass my instructions to the admiral of the nine gates and ask him to seal the nine gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave the capital until the gang of people who murdered Ma Qi are found out.
.”
Yinzhen's approach was more extreme than that of Shuntian Prefecture Yin, but it was undoubtedly more effective. After Sixi left, he said again: "I will let the nine admirals fully cooperate with you to strictly investigate the capital, even if every inch of the capital is searched,
You must also find for me those who assassinated Ma Qi, and the four people who rode in the carriage with Ma Qi."
"Weichen knows! Weichen knows." Yin of Shuntian Prefecture agreed repeatedly, fearing that Yinzhen would be displeased if he was a little too late.
"Go down!" Hearing the words "Yin Zhen", Yin of Shuntian Prefecture hurriedly bowed down and exited this suffocating hall as if he had received an amnesty.
After Shuntian Fu Yin retreated, Yinzhen's eyes were a little darker than before, "Come out."
A dark figure appeared behind Yinzhen, with one knee on the ground and said in a mute voice: "I see you, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen said without looking back: "What have you found?"
The spy lowered his head and replied: "Returning to the Emperor, due to lack of time, the servants and others have not yet found out the identities of those people, but judging from the way they did things and the fact that they committed suicide immediately after being caught without leaving any survivors, it should be
They are a group of death warriors or killers who have been trained for many years. And the slave suspects..."
