The person who was assassinated was not Xu Jing, but the Crown Prince of Chengyang.
The prince of Chengyang is twenty-nine this year, and he likes beauty the most in his life. After leaving the palace, he went to the boat to drink flower wine. In the excitement of the wine, he hugged a beautiful singer and went to bed. Before he entered the alley, the singer fumbled for a handle from under the pillow.
The sharp blade pierced the chest of Prince Chengyang.
Prince Chengyang let out a scream that shook the earth.
The soldiers guarding the boat all changed their colors and rushed into the boat with knives.
The enchanting beauty on the couch had committed suicide. Their master's chest was gushing blood, his face was pale, and he could only breathe in but not out.
The soldiers immediately carried their master to the nearest hospital. The experienced old doctor took a look at the wound and felt for his pulse, then sighed and shook his head. The soldiers put their weapons on the old doctor's neck and shouted angrily:
"Hurry up and save people! If anything happens to the prince, I will kill you first!"
The unlucky doctor had no choice but to treat Prince Chengyang's wounds. However, the knife stabbed very deeply, damaging his internal organs and causing endless bleeding.
When the soldiers rushed to the palace to deliver a message to the imperial doctor, the prince of Chengyang died in the post house.
This assassination case immediately caused a sensation in the capital.
The hospital was surrounded inside and outside, packed with people watching the excitement. Someone exclaimed: "It's a murder!"
They saw that the doctor had been slashed in the neck by the furious soldiers, and his head fell to the ground. This scene was really terrible. The people who were watching and joining in the fun immediately dispersed.
Not only did the soldiers kill the doctor, they rushed back to the boat and killed everyone on the boat.
The boat was booked by the Prince of Chengyang, and there were no other guests. The people who died were lowly people like singers and musicians. More than a dozen corpses were lying in a mess. The boat was soaked with blood, and the people were smelled by the thick smell of blood.
Almost nauseous.
Wu Anbo, who hurried over after hearing the news, saw this scene and his vision went dark, and he almost fainted on the spot.
It’s over!
The prince of Chengyang was killed, and there were more than a dozen other people killed. He couldn't avoid this major case even if he wanted to.
I really regret it when I think about it! I was greedy for comfort, so I specifically sought the position of commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. This is a place where wealth gathers, with few people and fewer things to do. Who would have thought that two major cases would happen one after another!
Wu Anbo was about to cry but had no tears. He did not dare to neglect when faced with a group of soldiers of Prince Chengyang's son whose eyes were red with blood. He said with a solemn face: "Prince Chengyang's son was assassinated and was killed. Such a major case must be reported to the emperor.
You can no longer kill people randomly! Put down your swords!"
The leader of the soldiers' eyes turned red and he said sternly: "The prince is dead, and we will not live alone. If the court cannot find the murderer, we will find it ourselves!"
This is going to make a big fuss in the capital!
Think about it, as soldiers, their master was assassinated right before their eyes. You can imagine the grief and anger in their hearts. Killing a boatload of people is nothing.
Wu Anbo had to lower his posture: "You kill people like this. Even if I want to investigate the case, no one will ask questions. Don't you want to find the real murderer and avenge the prince?"
The leader of the soldiers said with red eyes: "The Crown Prince of Beihai was assassinated that day. The Criminal Department searched for ten days but could not find the real murderer. We will avenge the Crown Prince ourselves!"
Wu Anbo: "..."
When they were in a stalemate, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Wu Anbo turned around and saw Prince Yingchuan and Prince Xihe arriving hand in hand. When the two princes saw the miserable body of Prince Chengyang, their faces were ashen.
After a while, the prince of Pingchang and the prince of Hanyang and the prince of Pengcheng also came.
Xu Jing arrived the latest.
It was almost midnight when we arrived at the boat.
The body of Prince Chengyang was already cold. The eyes of several princes and princes were red, and they all looked at Xu Jing: "Now let's go into the palace to see the emperor together! Please ask the emperor to find the real murderer!"
"This group of murderers is extremely arrogant. They failed to assassinate you, so they turned to attack the Crown Prince of Chengyang. You and me, the princes of the vassal, are like pigs and dogs in the eyes of the murderers."
"The person who died tonight is the Crown Prince of Chengyang. Maybe it will be the rest of us who die in a while."
"We must unite as one. Otherwise, we will be broken apart by each other, and we will not know how we died until we die."
"You're right! Let's go into the palace together right now!"
Xu Jing's face was solemn, his brows were knitted, and his eyes glanced at the angry faces: "Now that we are entering the palace together, it is like forcing us into the palace. What will be the consequences? Have you ever thought about it?"
Emperor Yongming had a legitimate reason to "protect" them all. Being isolated in the palace was no different from being under house arrest.
At that time, it will be like fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.
There is no need for Xu Jing to say these words clearly, as all the princes will understand.
All the princes were silent together.
Only Prince Xihe was furious: "Are we just waiting for someone to assassinate us? You don't even dare to go, I will!"
After saying that, he strode forward. Xu Jing stepped out unexpectedly and tripped the prince of Xihe. The prince of Xihe fell heavily and cursed angrily. Before he could even curse a few words, he was hit hard.
Knocked out.
"Let's go back to our respective homes first," Xu Jing expressionlessly picked up Prince Xihe's lapel and said coldly, "I'll leave my words here first. I can't forgive anyone who impulsively impels me!"
At this moment, Xu Jing's eyes were cold and scornful of everyone. Like a sword unsheathed, its edge was revealed.
The eloquent Prince Yingchuan was also choked. After a long while, he sighed: "Forget it, I will listen to you. Let's go back to the house first."
Without saying a word, Xu Jing carried the tall and strong Prince Xihe and walked out first.
Wu Anbo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and sent the princes and princes away with a smile. He turned around and waved his hand: "Take all these corpses away."
…
What?
Prince Chengyang is dead?
Xu Erwu hurriedly came to deliver the message. Zhao Xiyan's sleepiness suddenly disappeared and she stood up suddenly: "I will go to Beihai Palace now."
"Don't be impatient, girl." Xu Erwu whispered quickly: "The prince asked me to deliver the message because he was afraid that the girl would leave the house impulsively after hearing the news."
"This group of vicious people is extremely vicious and will dare to do anything."
"The prince specifically asked the girl to stay in the Zhao Mansion and not to go out in the near future."
yes!
Dare to assassinate Xu Jing, dare to kill the Crown Prince of Chengyang, and then kidnap a Miss Zhao Liu, why not?
An indescribable suffocation stuck in my chest, and I couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
Zhao Xiyan bit her lip hard, took a few deep breaths, and tried her best to calm herself down: "What else did the prince confess?"
Seeing Zhao Xiyan calm down, Xu Erwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded in a low voice: "The prince also said that girls should not worry too much. He will bring enough people when he goes out."
