Chapter 534 Blowing the wind to the emperor [2 more]
The man in black at the head shrank his eyes when he saw this situation, especially when a scream came from outside: "Here comes someone, please hurry up and invite the people from the city patrol department to come!"
Naturally, the identity of these men in black cannot be seen by the public, especially the government. Once discovered by the government, they may only die.
Looking at this situation, it was obvious that Xu Jie would not be found for a while, so several men in black looked at each other and heard one of them say: "Let's go!"
If they stay, they may be able to look for Xu Jie, but in this case, they will inevitably bear the risk of being surrounded by the government.
You must know that the public security in the capital is definitely better than ever before, especially after Chu Yi's rectification, the patrol soldiers in the capital are not decorations. Once they are targeted, it will be difficult to escape.
Several people made a decisive choice. Under the horrified gazes of the messy men and women in Tianxiang Tower, several men in black casually hacked to death several men and women, and then left amid screams.
Among the crowd, in a corner, a figure was looking at the leaving figures of the men in black indifferently. Who could it be if it wasn't Xu Jie who had left Member Zheng behind earlier.
"It's killing, it's killing!"
On this day, a murder broke out in Tianxiang Tower, and the whole capital was suddenly shocked.
After all, the capital city is the most virtuous place. To commit murder in public like this is a first-class major case, not to mention that this is still at the foot of the emperor and the important place of the capital.
Almost immediately, the Xuncheng Censor's Office was shocked. As the yamen responsible for public security and litigation in the capital, the Xuncheng Censor's Office was quite powerful, but everyone knew how many noble people there were in the capital.
The Zhixun City Censor's Office is also a doormat.
Although the power is not small, they still have to dare to take people. After all, there are so many powerful people in the capital. If there are children of the powerful people in the capital who disrupt the order of the capital, it will be very difficult for the Censor's Office to patrol the city.
This time was a shocking murder. If only a few ordinary people died, then it would be fine. Although the murder caused a bit of a sensation, the Censor's Office could not suppress it.
The most important thing is that among the men and women who were casually killed by the men in black when they left, one of them happened to be a minister of the Ministry of Rites at that time. That was a minister. Even if he was an official of the Ministry of Rites, when it came to rank,
If so, he is a dignified and dignified official of the third rank.
Even if a third-grade high-ranking official is placed in the court, he is still considered a high-ranking official. However, such a third-grade high-ranking official was hacked to death in broad daylight in a place like Tianxiang Tower. It is conceivable that the news spread.
After that, it also added some attention to this murderous case.
What the people are concerned about is that this murder occurred in a place like Tianxiang Tower, while above the court, civil and military officials are concerned about who killed the unlucky minister.
One can imagine the situation faced by the Censor's Office in this situation. The death of a minister made the Censor's Office suddenly feel a lot more pressure.
As the censor of the city's censor's office, he immediately led his people to Tianxiang Tower, and based on the descriptions of some people at the scene who witnessed the murder, more than a dozen oral confessions were recorded.
It is impossible for such a major case to involve only the censor patrolling the city to intervene in the investigation. Even the emperor Zhu Houzhao, who was deep in the palace, knew about this sensational event in the capital through the channels of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.
A third-grade high-ranking official was killed in a place with fireworks like Tianxiang Tower. As the emperor, he was naturally furious.
On the one hand, dignified senior officials of the imperial court were assassinated when they said they were assassinated. This made Zhu Houzhao first think about Chu Yi's assassination.
It had not been a few days, Chu Yi had just been assassinated, and in the blink of an eye, another high-ranking official was assassinated.
Zhu Houzhao was originally simmering with anger because of Chu Yi's assassination, but now it was suddenly triggered.
In the morning court that day, Zhu Houzhao burst out with thunderous fury. He vented his anger on all the civil and military officials in the court hall, reprimanding all the civil and military officials until they could not lift their heads.
There is such a big problem with public security in the capital. Although the responsibility does not lie with everyone, at this juncture, seeing Zhu Houzhao furious, only a fool would jump out to explain at this moment.
After venting his anger, Zhu Houzhao sat down, glanced at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and finally looked at Chu Yi and said: "Daban, Daban will be responsible for this case. I want to see who he is, who is actually like this."
You are so bold, you dare to be so arrogant even in the capital!"
Chu Yi responded.
The emperor had previously handed over Dongchang, Jinyiwei and the officials arrested by Wang Shouren who were involved in his assassination to his disposal.
Chu Yi had not had time to interrogate these people, but now such a murder broke out, but Chu Yi became a little curious.
Judging from his intuition, this murder does not seem to be that simple.
Especially through the channel of Dongchang, Chu Yi has already read the confessions of those who witnessed the crime obtained by the censor of the city.
It was because of those confessions that Chu Yi was very curious about this murder. Otherwise, he would not have taken on such a case.
The emperor waved his sleeves and left, and the civil and military officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they saw Chu Yi standing there, who had been ordered by the emperor to investigate the murder, many people were heartbroken.
The ground sank.
This is the murderer Chu Yi. If the emperor entrusts this murderous case to someone to investigate, why should he hand over this case to Chu Yi for investigation? What if Chu Yi takes the opportunity to go on a killing spree?
Do you want everyone to be in danger?
Back in the palace, Zhu Houzhao was still angry. Gu Dayong, who had been serving Zhu Houzhao, squeezed Zhu Houzhao's shoulders and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. It's not worth it to destroy the dragon body because of some assassins.
!”
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I'm so angry, Gu Daban, please tell me, why are these people so audacious? In the capital city, there are actually people who dare to commit murder in broad daylight and in full view of the public. Don't let it go.
I know who did it, otherwise I would have cut him into pieces."
Gu Dayong paused slightly with the hand that was squeezing Zhu Houzhao's shoulders. The expression on his old face was slightly stagnant. He clearly noticed that Gu Dayong was acting strangely. Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Daban, your hand is a little too strong."
Some!"
Gu Dayong came back to his senses and said quickly: "This servant was careless for a moment, please punish me."
Zhu Houzhao was not the kind of harsh emperor, so he didn't take it seriously at all and said: "Daban, do you think Chu Daban can catch the murderer who caused the murder this time?"
With a slight smile on his face, Gu Dayong squeezed Zhu Houzhao's shoulders and said, "What a person the chief steward is. From a slave's point of view, your majesty should not have sent the chief steward to investigate this murder."
"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help showing some doubts and said: "Oh, I don't know why this is? Why shouldn't I send Chu Daban to investigate the case?"
Gu Dayong said with a smile: "The General Manager is now His Highness King Wu, and his status is so noble. If it is not a major military matter, how can the General Manager take action easily in such casual circumstances?"
Hearing what Gu Dayong said, Zhu Houzhao nodded with some agreement and said: "What Daban said is not unreasonable. Chu Daban has not had a good rest since he returned, but he has to share my worries again. I really
I am so ashamed of my great companion."
After pinching Zhu Houzhao's shoulder, Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Actually, Your Majesty can hand this case over to the Ministry of Punishment, the City Censor's Office, or the Dongchang or Jinyiwei at will, but it will not be handled by the General Manager of Labor."
Zhu Houzhao sighed slightly and said: "But I was negligent. If not, why don't I pass the decree to the big companion and let the big companion..."
But soon Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "No, if I go back on my promise, I'm afraid even my companions won't agree."
Gu Da opened his mouth with a bit of bitterness on his face, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to have thought it through and said, "That's all. I just believe that I can handle this case well. If I leave it to others to take charge, I won't have any confidence at all."
This makes it clear that Zhu Houzhao does not have too much trust in other people, but Zhu Houzhao has always believed in Chu Yi, but this trust has made many people envious, even Gu
Dayong has never felt such trust from Zhu Houzhao.
After serving the emperor and resting, Gu Dayong returned to his residence. This was an independent courtyard. With the door closed, even if there was a lot of noise in the courtyard, it would not disturb others.
At this moment, in the hall of the small courtyard, Gu Dayong, who had just returned from Zhu Houzhao's place, was sitting there. In front of him, several servants were kneeling there in fear.
The looks of fear on the faces of these chamberlains showed that they were still filled with awe when facing Gu Dayong.
The person in front of me is the manager who is under one person in the palace and above ten thousand people. If he really wanted to take the life of any one of them, it would be just a matter of a word or a thought.
Gu Da looked at the people kneeling in front of him with a look of confusion, and suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand towards the people kneeling in front of him.
There was a crisp sound, and the tea cup filled with tea suddenly fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Gu Dayong lowered his voice but was filled with infinite anger and said: "Trash, what a bunch of trash, this manager
How could I train such a bunch of useless subordinates like you?"
It's strange that Gu Dayong is not angry. You must know that he had only sent people to eliminate some clues that might implicate him. However, Gu Dayong himself never dreamed that the people he sent would choose to assassinate him.
Zheng Yuanwai, Xu Jie.
If it's an assassination, then that's fine. Wouldn't it be nice to do it more covertly and neatly? But the result is not good. I'm even wearing night clothes, but it's an assassination in a bustling and lively place like Tianxiang Tower. The person who deserves to be killed
There was no killing, but people who shouldn't have been killed were killed vigorously.
When Gu Dayong first received the news, he almost went crazy. The people he sent out were all pigs. They couldn't even do such a small thing well, and ended up causing such a big fuss.
