As soon as Xu Erwu left, his uncle Zhao Yuanren arrived.
Zhao Yuanren was shocked to hear the bad news that Prince Chengyang was assassinated and hurriedly got up and came over. His elegant face was full of panic: "Yueyaer! Did the Crown Prince send someone to deliver a message to you? Prince Chengyang met in the painting boat.
The assassin is dead."
Zhao Xiyan had completely calmed down at this time: "Yes, I already know about this matter. This matter will surely cause a sensation in both the government and the public."
Xu Jing was assassinated and was safe after all.
The prince of Chengyang died completely.
In just half a month, there were two major assassinations of the prince of the feudal lord, and another one was successful. How shocking this is! Not to mention the turmoil in the palace, even the people in the capital will also have their hearts shaken.
Zhao Yuanren gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The real culprit behind the scenes has such vicious intentions. He wants to make the capital full of chaos and put everyone in danger!"
"Nowadays, all states and counties are not at peace, and even the capital is in chaos. Once the news gets out, people will be in chaos."
Yes, this is Murong Shen's real purpose.
He couldn't wait seven or eight years. Therefore, it was more beneficial to him to take action boldly, disrupt the capital first, and promote chaos in the world. The Jin Dynasty turned into a pool of turbid sewage.
Zhao Xiyan didn't want to think too much. But her heart was heavy and she felt extremely uncomfortable. The words "beauties are a disaster", which she had been insulted and scolded several times in her previous life, suddenly came to mind.
No, she shouldn't think so.
Murong Shen was ambitious and wanted to commit chaos and seize the world. She did not need to blame herself for this.
Zhao Xiyan calmed down and whispered to Zhao Yuanren: "The evil people are rampant and wanton. My uncle has been coming in and out of the house recently, so he needs to bring more guards."
Zhao Yuanren nodded and told Zhao Xiyan: "Don't go out. Wait until this period of time has passed."
Zhao Xiyan nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yuanren was silent for a moment and suddenly sighed: "You were indeed a little hasty and anxious about your engagement with the Prince of Beihai that day."
"Looking at the current situation, there will be no peace in the capital from now on, and life will be difficult for the princes and princes. Yue Ya'er, I'm afraid you will also be implicated."
As expected of the minister of the Ministry of Industry who has lived in the court for a long time, Zhao Yuanren has been keenly aware that something is wrong. The assassinations one after another are all aimed at the princes of the vassal.
The tree wants to be still and the wind doesn't stop!
Zhao Xiyan raised her eyes and met Zhao Yuanren's eyes: "Uncle, Xu Jing and I are an unmarried couple. We will get married in April next year. No matter what the dilemma, I will attack and retreat with him."
What a young man's fierce love! There is nothing but affection in his eyes.
Zhao Yuanren sighed again, said nothing more, told Zhao Xiyan to go to bed early, and left.
Zhao Xiyan lost any sleep, and wrote a letter to her father under the candlelight. She wrote more than ten pages, and the pent-up anger in her heart overflowed from her pen.
…
That night, I don’t know how many people were tossing and turning.
Emperor Yongming summoned several beauties last night and had fun all night long. The news of the death of Prince Chengyang did not reach the Fuyou Palace at all.
At dawn, the emperor, who had indulged himself all night, learned that Prince Chengyang had been assassinated. He was furious and summoned Wu Anbo to the palace.
"This murder happened in Nancheng, and it is under your jurisdiction. I will leave it to you. I will give you three days to get to the bottom of this case. Otherwise, you are the only one who can ask!"
Wu Anbo had a grimace on his face and did not dare to respond.
The gentle-looking Eunuch Jiang came in and reported: "To report to the Emperor, several princes of the feudal lords have come to have an audience."
Emperor Yongming indulged himself all night and was sleepy and tired. He had no patience to deal with several indignant princes. He said impatiently: "Let them go to the study room and study with the prince honestly. I have to deal with the government affairs and have no time to see them for the time being."
indivual."
Eunuch Jiang responded and retreated.
Such a result is not surprising.
Xu Jing sneered in his heart, and retreated to the study room with Prince Yingchuan and others.
His Royal Highness the Prince had already taken the lead and came over hastily: "Cousins, Cousin Jing, what happened last night? Was Cousin Duan really assassinated?"
Xu Jing, who had always been joking, had no smile on his face today and nodded: "Yes, cousin Duan was having fun on the boat and was stabbed to death by the singer."
Prince Xihe, who was knocked unconscious last night, still did not change his bad temper and sneered: "What happened at midnight last night, someone came to the palace to report the news and wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come and save his life. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't do it?"
Do you know this?"
The prince was a little ashamed and replied in a low voice: "I go to bed early every night, so I really don't know."
Prince Xihe sneered again: "Such a trivial matter should not disturb His Highness's good sleep."
The prince was speechless.
Xu Jing glanced at Prince Xihe: "If you have the ability, go and track down the real culprit, and kill the culprit with one knife to avenge cousin Duan. What kind of ability does a man with a gun and a stick here have?"
The Prince of Xihe was beaten twice by Xu Jing. He was quite jealous of Xu Jing. He snorted from his nose and became silent.
Prince Yingchuan sighed: "Actually, it was useless even if I personally went to the imperial doctor to ask for help. Cousin Duan was bleeding profusely at the time, and he died within less than a cup of tea after being carried into the hospital."
The frail and sick Prince Pengcheng suddenly answered: "Several cousins want to go back to the palace, but I don't want to. From today on, I will live in the palace."
It doesn't feel right to say this at first glance.
The prince was speechless for a moment, then responded: "Anyway, I only leave the palace once every half month. It doesn't matter if you want to go out, or you can stay in the palace."
At this time, Su Zhangyuan, who had white hair and beard, came in.
Prince Xu Jing and others attended the ceremony together: "Students have met Taifu Su!"
Su Zhangyuan's eyes glanced at him, and he saw that Prince Chengyang was missing, and everyone in the study looked different. However, Su Zhangyuan didn't care about this matter, and was even secretly happy in his heart.
These vassal princes should be dealt with one by one. In this way, the Jin Dynasty can be completely peaceful. The prince can also sit on the dragon throne safely in the future.
Compared with the short-sighted Su Zhangyuan, the six ministers and the generals such as Duke Zhongyong of Dingguo had a far-sighted vision. They all submitted memorials, asking the emperor to investigate the murderer strictly and calm people's hearts.
Emperor Yongming agreed to the requests of his ministers one by one and ordered Wu Anbo to solve the case as soon as possible.
Wu Anbo was quite capable in investigating cases. Three days later, in the morning, he took out the files.
The person who assassinated Prince Chengyang was the singer on the painted boat. Everyone on the boat was an accomplice of the singer. That night, the singer set up a plan to kill Prince Chengyang.
Then what?
Then it was gone!
The mastermind, the singer, committed suicide, and all the accomplices were killed by Prince Chengyang!
Seeing Wu Anbo's shameless face, the ministers almost sighed.
Ji Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment sighed in his heart. Why didn't he learn this trick that day? It can be seen that he has been practicing for many years, but he is still not shameless enough.
