Chapter 221: The person who supports the ghost (3)
Lin Yi secretly followed the masked master.
The masked master passed by the houses one after another, and then headed southwest. Lin Yi followed closely and secretly. Finally, the masked man came to an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city and entered the house.
There are four horses tied in front of the house.
The masked man entered the house, and Lin Yi hid behind the tree on the left side of the house.
Later, four masked men filed out of the room.
These four masked men were all the same regardless of height or shape. The four masked men also wore the same mask. Lin Yi could not tell which one was the masked man who had previously assassinated Prime Minister Lu.
Each of the four people got on a horse and then drove off in different directions.
Lin Yi immediately understood their intentions.
The other party is trying to prevent someone from following you, so they use this method to confuse the person following.
Lin Yi wanted to find out the true identity of this masked man, but now he failed.
Lin Yi had to admire that the other party's plan was really thorough and meticulous. Lin Yi was unwilling to give in, so he secretly followed the masked man heading southeast.
After half a mile, Lin Yi shot a small stone and hit the man on the horse's leg.
The horse neighed in pain and threw itself to the ground.
The masked man on the horse also jumped up.
Looking at the masked man's light kung fu, Lin Yi knew that this masked man was not the one who assassinated Prime Minister Lu earlier. That masked man's light kung fu was much better than this one.
Wrong follow.
Lin Yi was very disappointed.
In this case, Lin Yi didn't stop doing anything and quickly moved towards the man in black.
As soon as the man in black hit the ground, Lin Yi came to his side and tapped the masked man's acupoints.
Lin Yi took the masked man to a quiet place and wanted to interrogate him, but it turned out that the masked man had bitten the poison hidden in his mouth and committed suicide. Lin Yi searched him again, but found that there was nothing on the masked man.
The traces of tracing were completely cut off.
Lin Yi thought that most of the assassins tonight were sent by Shangguan Minghong.
Shangguan Minghong is also resourceful and will definitely find a way to get rid of Prime Minister Lu before he gets into trouble.
Lin Yi disposed of the masked man's body and returned to the city to meet the Prime Minister.
Lu's assassination has alarmed Dali Temple.
The new Minister of Dali Temple hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion and was talking to Prime Minister Lu to understand what happened. The Minister of Dali Temple also promised to Prime Minister Lu to solve the case as soon as possible and arrest the assassin and the mastermind behind it.
Prime Minister Lu said to the minister of Dali Temple again: "Master Huang, is there any progress in Master Zhang's case?"
Mr. Lu was asking about the disappearance of the previous Minister of Dali Temple.
Mr. Huang said with a sad expression: "Despite the high expectations of Prime Minister, there is still no progress."
After hearing this, Xiang Lu felt completely at ease. How did Mr. Huang know that his predecessor had been secretly killed by Xiang Lu and his corpse was destroyed because he had secretly collaborated with the blood demon to harm Lu Ba?
After dealing with Lord Huang, Xiang Lu and Lin Yi met in the study.
Lin Yi smelled that Lu Xiang had a strong smell of alcohol on his body, and Lu Xiang also walked a little lightly. It was obvious that Lu Xiang had drank a lot tonight.
Although Prime Minister Lu experienced the assassination, he was still drunk and his head was dizzy.
Lin Yi said: "Master Xiang, are you okay?"
Prime Minister Lu said: "Unscathed. It's not that easy to kill me! By the way, how did you know that I was assassinated?"
Lin Yi said: "I was worried about the safety of the Prime Minister, so I kept following him secretly. I originally wanted to track down the masked master who assassinated the Prime Minister, but the other party used a trick to escape..."
Lin Yi told Prime Minister Lu what happened.
Prime Minister Lu took two sips of tea and said, "We didn't catch anyone alive. Moreover, seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, some assassins killed themselves by wiping their necks with knives. That 'brother' of yours is really clueless in his evil deeds. Humph, but he still did it after all.
You can't beat me. I have a clever plan, just wait and see the good show."
Prime Minister Lu did not tell Lin Yi what his clever plan was.
After all, making dragon robes privately to slander court officials is a serious crime and not a glorious thing.
Lin Yi said: "Master, on the way back to the city, I thought carefully about what happened tonight. This was a well-designed assassination. Every link was carefully considered, and it was perfect. I felt that this matter was fishy. But it was difficult to see through it for a while.
.This is like an undercurrent surging strangely under the calm sea. I really don’t know what will happen next. Prime Minister, why don’t you avoid it first. Just say that you were frightened by the assassination and got sick. Go out of the city to a quiet place to recuperate. Leave Beijing first and then wait and see.
Change?"
Prime Minister Lu said: "Lin Yi, I know you are thinking about me. I have never experienced any storms in these years. Shangguan Minghong can't do anything to me. If I avoid disaster, it will appear that I am afraid and shrinking. At this juncture, those who follow
The officials I fight with Shangguan Minghong will be disappointed and heartbroken. Moreover, I have a clever plan, so I can't leave. Haha, let your 'brother' come up with all kinds of tricks, but I will remain unmoved."
When Prime Minister Lu said this, Lin Yi remained silent.
Prime Minister Lu said: "I drank too much tonight, and I'm ready to take a rest now. Don't worry, just go back and take a rest. If anything happens, we'll discuss it tomorrow."
Lin Yi said goodbye and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Lu also went to rest. Because he drank too much, Prime Minister Lu fell on the couch and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept when there was a knock on the door outside the house.
When Mr. Lu woke up, it was already dawn.
Prime Minister Lu said outside: "What's the matter?"
A confidant outside the house said: "The emperor learned about what happened last night and sent a gold-faced guard to visit the prime minister."
Prime Minister Lu wanted to sleep a little longer, but the emperor sent a gold-faced guard to visit him. He got up, washed himself, and went to the living room to meet the gold-faced guard.
In the living room, a man wearing a gold mask on his face and gold gloves on his hands was waiting for the landing.
The position where he sat was facing the sun.
The sun shone on his golden mask, and the living room shone with golden light.
This person is none other than Teng Bin, who is known as the number one master in the capital.
Teng Bin waited for a while, and then Prime Minister Lu entered the living room.
Teng Bin quickly stood up and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the emperor only found out about what happened last night this morning. The emperor immediately ordered me to come and visit. Mr. Prime Minister, are you okay?"
Prime Minister Lu said: "Lord Lao Teng came to visit. Fortunately, my guards worked hard to protect me last night and killed the assassins. I'm fine, I was just a little frightened."
Teng Bin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's fine if nothing happens. Prime Minister, do you know how worried the Emperor is. You are the Emperor's subordinate and cannot make any mistakes. The Emperor also wants to know the situation. Prime Minister, you'd better come with me."
Go into the palace and tell the emperor what happened, so that the emperor will not be anxious."
The emperor sent a gold-faced guard to visit him. If he had nothing to do, he should go to the palace to report the details to the saint, and then express his gratitude.
Prime Minister Lu went to the palace with the gold-faced guards.
When they arrived at the palace, Prime Minister Lu's guards were waiting outside the palace, and Prime Minister Lu followed Teng Bin into the palace.
The two entered the emperor's chamber.
The emperor had breakfast in the palace.
There were several eunuchs and maids waiting on both sides.
When the emperor saw Prime Minister Lu, he stood up and asked with concern: "My dear, I know what happened last night. Are you okay?"
Just as Prime Minister Lu was about to speak, Teng Bin, who was standing behind him, suddenly took action and hit three major acupuncture points on Prime Minister Lu's body.
Prime Minister Lu never expected that Teng Bin would attack him!
Prime Minister Lu immediately stood there unable to move.
At the same time, several gold-belted guards flashed out from behind the screen to protect the emperor, and more than a dozen palace masters also poured in outside the palace, surrounding Prime Minister Lu!
