The incident happened suddenly, but Meng Xiang's reaction could not but be said to be very quick.
"There is an assassin!" He shouted, drew his sword with one hand, overturned the table with the other hand, hid behind the table sideways, and reached out to pull Lu Jinni.
"Prime Minister..." Lu Jinni looked at him blankly, with blood foaming from his mouth and a few turbid tears flowing from the corners of his eyes. He tilted his head and died.
Someone had already heard the sound and broke in. They protected Meng Xiang and searched everywhere.
However, the traces were elusive and no clues were found.
Meng Xiang was shocked and furious: "Check it out for me! We must find out who did it!"
Even though Lu Jinni did this kind of thing behind his back, he still followed him for decades and made great contributions to him, and his crime would not lead to death.
Even if it needs to be dealt with, it should be done by him, rather than being killed in such a blatant way in front of him.
This is naked provocation and contempt.
If he doesn't come up with one, two, three today, he won't be the prime minister anymore. Even a cat or a dog can ride on his head and poop.
The person in charge of the full-time guard was Meng San, who felt very guilty about this: "Uncle, I didn't expect this. I patrolled every half an hour and never relaxed for a moment..."
"shut up!"
How could Meng Xiang be in the mood to talk about this? He remembered Meng Jiu and others who were out spreading news, and said sternly: "Immediately send someone to find those who just went out! Send more people, and be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Meng San was excited and hurriedly sent out men to look for the person.
Meng Xiang felt extremely heavy and angry.
There are only a few people in the entire Zhao Kingdom who can be so arrogant and go to Prime Minister Meng's Mansion to kill people.
Unfortunately, the one who hated Lu Jinni the most and had the most reason to get rid of Lu Jinni was the Palace of Priests.
I hope Meng Jiu and others can survive and return smoothly, otherwise...
Someone came over in a hurry: "Mr. Prime Minister, Madam wants to see you."
He put away his anger again and hurried to the backyard.
However, when taking action, you have to pay attention to his expression, movements, and speed. Because he is a monk, everyone in the house is watching his face and relying on him for survival.
The more chaotic things get, the more stable he needs to be.
Mrs. Meng looked dejected: "Where is Xiao Jiu? Something happened to his brother and sister-in-law. I have a few words to tell him. You call him. I didn't even call him. Could it be that he blamed me in his heart, so he didn't
Willing to come."
Meng Xiang felt sad for a while, but his expression did not change at all: "I asked him to go back first. He has a funeral to attend to at home, and I'm afraid he will be too busy to do anything. It will be the same if I ask him to come tomorrow."
Mrs. Meng just shook her head: "No, I must make these words clear to him now, otherwise I won't be able to sleep. If you let him come, it won't take long..."
Meng Xiang was forced to a point where his hair was scorched, and he was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent. He really endured it again and again before he managed to squeeze out a smile: "Okay, just wait, I'll have someone call him right now."
He turned around and gave some instructions, took Mrs. Meng's hand and said softly: "They are going to call. It will take some time for him to come over. You take the medicine first, close your eyes and rest your mind and wait for him, okay?"
Mrs. Meng obediently drank the medicine from his hand, lay back on the pillow, and murmured: "I'm sorry for you."
Meng Xiang raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with you? It's so hard to say this."
Mrs. Meng held his hand tightly and said softly: "It's my fault that I can't give you more children. If you had more children, you wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."
He is not his own biological child, no matter how hard he tries, there is always a layer between him and her.
