In the hall, Captain Jinyi had already prepared two bowls of fine Yunnan Pu'er ripe tea according to Xu Kaiying's orders and placed them on the table.
Seeing Xiao Chen sitting on his seat, Xu Kaiying slowly sat down himself.
"Didn't Lord Ziyi go to Tumu Fort? Why did he suddenly come to Jinyiwei? Did he come here specifically to investigate Wang Yuan's affairs?" Xu Kaiying asked straight to the point without any hesitation.
At this time, being secretive makes it appear that there is something wrong in one's heart.
Xiao Chen chuckled lightly and looked at Xu Kaiying: "Master Commander, do you think Wang Yuan has any motive to assassinate King Zhao?"
"No." Xu Kaiying shook her head.
"Then why did he go to Huailai Guard alone and assassinate King Zhao in front of the guards of King Zhao and the soldiers of Huailai Guard, but he was killed on the spot instead?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"I really don't understand this. Even if it is an assassination, with Wang Yuan's cautious character, he will never assassinate in public. How can this be an assassination? This is clearly taking the blame." Xu Kaiying said angrily.
.
"Haha." Xiao Chen couldn't help but sympathize with Xu Kaiying, "Anyway, so far, all the evidence has designated Wang Yuan as the assassin who assassinated King Zhao. This must be beyond doubt. But the fact is
There are so many loopholes in this matter. Let alone the commander who doesn’t believe that Wang Yuan went back to do such stupid things, even I don’t believe that Wang Yuan is an assassin.”
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Xu Kaiying's face showed a hint of surprise: "Master Ziyi thinks so too?"
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded, "There are various indications that, as you said, Wang Qianhu was just taking the blame for others. They used assassination to confuse the public and divert other people's attention."
"Master Ziyi can think so, I am really grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. If this matter is finally determined to be an assassination, the entire Jinyi Guard may be less implicated. There must be a complicated truth behind this matter, and I hope that Master Ziyi will be strict
Investigate, give the world the truth, and give Jin Yiwei an innocence." After saying that, Xu Kaiying stood up, folded her hands, and bowed towards Xiao Chen.
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Xiao Chen quickly stood up and raised his hand to block Xu Kaiying's bow, "It is the responsibility of Dongchang to investigate and handle this case. The commander must not bow. What do you say?
I am also a third-rank military attache of the imperial court, so it is against etiquette to salute me."
Seeing Xiao Chen blocking her, Xu Kaiying stopped insisting and sat back in her seat.
"Jinyiwei feels so wronged about this matter. I hope Lord Ziyi can understand my feelings." Xu Kaiying felt a little embarrassed when she thought that she had lost control of her emotions.
"I understand. This matter happened in Huailaiwei. Dong Chao, the commander of Huailaiwei, has been detained in Dongchang according to the emperor's wishes. This is joint responsibility. No one can do anything. As long as the truth of the matter is
Unless the truth comes out, Mr. Dong will probably stay in the East Factory forever." Looking at Xu Kaiying, Xiao Chen sighed.
How could Xu Kaiying not understand this sentence?
When the emperor comes back, I am afraid that I will be taken to Dongchang Prison. If this matter is not resolved, Dongchang Prison will be my retirement place for the rest of my life.
Since he was imprisoned in the Dongchang Prison, the Jin Yiwei could not be paralyzed, and a new commander would definitely be appointed. Even if he was able to clear his name and get out of the prison, the Jin Yiwei would probably have nothing to do with him anymore.
Xu Kaiying was extremely anxious, but she couldn't show it too obviously. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Qianhu, who was standing next to him, saw Xu Kaiying's embarrassment and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "With Master Ziyi personally investigating, the matter will surely come to light soon. Maybe, Huailaiwei's 'hunting' is not over yet, and the case has been closed."
.”
"It's difficult." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "This matter involves King Zhao. If Wang Yuan's assassination does not exist, then King Zhao is plotting. To bring down King Zhao cannot be done overnight. It must be
We have to put the real evidence in front of the emperor."
"Alas, the fate of our Jin Yiwei is like this. I don't think about anything else. I just hope that one day the truth will be revealed." Xu Kaiying let out a long sigh.
The prince cannot be moved just by being moved. Without the emperor's words, no matter how serious the crime the prince has committed, who dares to touch him and who can touch him?
Except for the captain in purple, I am afraid that no one can really take down King Zhao.
Seeing that Xu Kaiying had completely lost his confidence, Xiao Chen knew that the situation was almost over. If he suppressed her further, he might really have no fighting spirit at all.
"Master Xu, don't be discouraged. This matter is actually not complicated. Everyone knows that Wang Yuan will not assassinate King Zhao. What we lack is just some evidence. Then King Zhao has a top master next to him, and this time
The man who killed Wang Qianhu on the spot has already sneaked back to the capital." Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Wasn't Wang Yuan killed by the combined efforts of King Zhao's guards?" Xu Kaiying was stunned.
Wang Yuan's skills are among the best among the Jinyi Guards. Otherwise, he would not have arranged for him to go to Tumu Fort to guard the emperor.
If someone is killed on the spot, how good must this person be?!
"Wang Qianhu was split in half with a knife, and even his helmet was broken into pieces." Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Ah, split in half, the helmet is broken?" Xu Kaiying's mouth opened wide, as if she couldn't believe what Xiao Chen said.
Not only Xu Kaiying, but also the two Qianhu who were still slightly calm on the side, as well as the personal captains, all had their mouths wide open, with incredible expressions frozen on their faces.
"The opponent's martial arts skills are so high that I have never seen him in my life." Xiao Chen's expression also became serious.
"What does this person want to do when he sneaks back to the capital?" Xu Kaiying came to his senses and asked hurriedly.
Picking up the tea bowl on the table, Xiao Chen took a sip and said, "Liu Qianhu was transferred to Dongchang by the emperor's decree. Mr. Xu should have been notified of this matter."
"The notification has arrived at Jinyiwei. The emperor must have his own arrangements for the imperial edict, and Jinyiwei will absolutely obey." Xu Kaiying hurriedly expressed her attitude.
"The first thing that King Zhao's mysterious guard did when he arrived in the capital was to kill Liu Qianhu. The iron door of Dongchang Prison was cut in half by that man's knife. Fortunately, Liu Qianhu evaded quickly.
It's just a little skin injury." Xiao Chen briefly explained Liu Rufeng's experience in Dongchang Prison.
"This, this is incredible, isn't it? In order to kill Liu Rufeng, this person actually did it in Dongchang Prison?" Xu Kaiying shook his head, as if all this was beyond his understanding.
"Master Xu, does he know why the emperor is anxious to transfer a member of the Qianhu family to Dongchang by imperial edict?"
"I really don't know about this. We have never been able to guess the emperor's intentions." Xu Kaiying said awkwardly.
"The prince was detained in Dongchang Prison, and the current Dongchang Prison is a bit weak. The emperor was worried about the prince's safety, so he urgently transferred Liu Rufeng to Dongchang. The purpose was to get him back to assist Dongchang and protect the prince's safety.
." Xiao Chen put down the tea bowl and said meaningfully.
Xu Kaiying raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen with some confusion: "So, in the emperor's heart, he has not really given up on the prince?"
Xiao Chen glared at Xu Kaiying with some dissatisfaction: "The prince has been overseeing the country for many years and has long been the emperor's designated successor. How could he give up so easily?"
"Then at this moment, the prince is still in Dongchang Prison, isn't his situation very dangerous?" Xu Kaiying finally came to his senses.
Xiao Chen stood up with an embarrassed smile on his face: "This is the reason why I came to you today. Now, there are only about 500 famous lieutenants in Dongchang Prison. They are responsible for the safety of the prince, and they are already stretched thin.
It's a bit powerless. If something happens to the prince this time, it won't be as simple as the assassination of King Zhao. In the emperor's anger, the entire Dongchang will probably be razed to the ground. By then, who will care about the Huailaiwei case?"
"We must not let anything happen to the prince." Xu Kaiying also stood up suddenly, "Although the prince is detained in the Dongchang Prison, the Jinyi Guards are still responsible for guarding the outside of the prison. If something happens to the prince, Dongchang is finished, and the Jinyiwei will also be finished.
.”
"Yes, that's the truth now. Dongchang is seriously short of troops, so I came here today just to seek help from Mr. Xu." Xiao Chen said with a sincere face.
"Assistance? Your Excellency, you are talking about life." Xu Kaiying turned her head and stared closely into Xiao Chen's eyes, "Whether it is Huailaiwei or the current Dongchang Prison, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they have been tightly tied to each other.
Together. There are more than 15,000 school captains in Jinyiwei. Excluding the more than 2,000 in Tumubao, there are still more than 13,000 school captains in the capital. Excluding those who cannot be transferred to various positions, I will send five thousand
Hu led five thousand captains to assist you in guarding the Dongchang Prison."
After hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but admire Xu Kaiying's courage.
Before coming here, I thought that as long as I borrowed two thousand captains, the safety of the prison could basically be guaranteed.
But now, Xu Kaiying, with the attitude of losing everyone, actually arranged for five thousand captains to lead five thousand captains. If this is the case, this prince is just walking around in the Dongchang Prison, who can touch him in the slightest?
"The Jin Yiwei is responsible for most of the security of the Imperial City. It should be based on the Imperial City. Otherwise, Sir, just give me three thousand captains. Don't it affect the Jin Yiwei's internal vigilance?" Xiao Chen declined politely.
one time.
"Imperial City is on guard, and there are other forbidden troops. The prince's safety is what we should ensure first. According to what I said, we, five thousand households, will bring five thousand captains. Wait a moment, sir. I will
Assemble the manpower and you can just take them back." Xu Kaiying said solemnly.
"Once this matter is over, I will investigate Huailaiwei's affairs thoroughly and prevent Jinyiwei from taking the blame." Xiao Chenya promised Xu Kaiying.
