Those Years In Quest Of Honour Mine

When the sky was getting light, Emperor Chong'an was sitting on the couch surrounded by a wolfskin blanket, half-closed his eyes and said, "Dead?"

Emperor Chong'an's confidant eunuch stepped forward and said: "The two seriously injured were not saved, and they died in a short while, and the remaining five alive also went away just now."

Emperor Chong'an opened his eyes, "How did you die?"

The eunuch whispered: "Serving|Poison, we did it very cleanly. The emperor can rest assured. The guards are also very tight and dare not talk nonsense. If the emperor asks them tomorrow, they will only say that the assassins themselves hid in their mouths in advance. If he was poisoned and saw no chance of assassination, he committed suicide in fear of the crime, everything is reasonable."

Emperor Chong'an relaxed a little, and the eunuch couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the emperor interrogate? There are obviously only 25 dead men prepared by the minions, but now there are twelve more people out of thin air! What's the matter? ?"

"King-killing is the crime of punishing the nine tribes. When you are captured at night, you don't want to die. Are you waiting for Ling Chi? They didn't have the chance, but they still saved their lives temporarily." Emperor Chong'an's voice was cold, "Don't these people know How much crime do you have to suffer? I'm not afraid of it. You know how determined people are. Interrogating these people, what truth do you think can be interrogated?! Don't kill them now, wait until dawn, let them speak More things that shouldn't be said?"

Emperor Chong’an’s expression was extremely bad. He had planned very well. He had already pointed the finger at King Yu. He didn’t need to say anything. Since someone came to investigate this big case according to his wishes, the crime of killing the king was the burden of ten King Yu. Sorry, this is the fastest way to solve Yu Mucheng.

Moreover, Xuan Qiong has been under house arrest by him during this period, without knowing it, so that she will not be involved too much by her mother's family.

Unexpectedly, the fake house thief led to the real foreign ghost, and when he learned that there were more than 30 assassins, Emperor Chong'an really had a cold sweat.

If it weren't for him to be careful, it would not be impossible for him to be assassinated if he had arranged many guards inside and outside his palace.

When I thought that a dozen or so real assassins had sneaked into the palace a few hours ago, Emperor Chong'an was like a thorn on his back.

"But..." the eunuch frowned in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Now there is really no way to start. The minion has just interrogated the person responsible for recruiting dead men, and has also been severely sentenced, but the few people only said nothing. Clearly, I'm calling for injustice, as if I really don't know, this...how can I investigate further?"

The eunuch asked cautiously, "In the heart of the emperor, who is there to doubt? The minions have a direction, so it's better to track them down."

Emperor Chong'an sneered, "Will you not have a charter in your heart? But you dare not check it."

The eunuch smirked and dared not speak.

After a while, a man dressed as a guard entered the hall without passing the word, kneeled and bowed, "My lord, the spies are back."

Emperor Chong'an was so exhausted that he had not slept all night, and he felt weak when he heard the words, "Say."

The guard dressed up humanely, "Nothing happened on the Queen's side. The eldest princess was frightened. After taking the tranquilizer, she fell asleep. After seeing the eldest princess, the queen went to see a few little princesses and then stopped. Nothing else."

"The Fourth Royal Highness and the Fifth Royal Highness are a little bit lively there. The two Royal Highnesses returned to the Xibian Hall and began to quarrel. The Fourth Royal Highness insisted that the matter was the work of King Yu, and asked His Royal Highness whether he also knew about it, or why he came to the palace. After that, he shut himself in the room. Could it be that he had already heard of something, and was afraid to hide. The five highnesses were furious and killed himself without knowing anything. The two highnesses quarreled for a long time, and finally broke up. rest."

"Xuan Jing said that Xuan Qiong had locked herself up since coming to the palace?" Emperor Chong'an frowned. "Have you checked it? Is it the truth?"

The guard knelt on the ground nodded: "It's the truth. The minister originally wanted His Royal Highness Five to be under house arrest for many days, and it is not surprising that he did not dare to move more. But he still ordered someone to follow His Highness Five to interrogate him and found out before leaving Beijing. , Prince Yu’s people are indeed going to the Five Highnesses to ask the Five Highnesses in an hour, so that the Five Highnesses should be cautious in their words and deeds after they go to the palace, so as not to disturb the Holy One. This can be said to be a kind reminder of the Lord Yu. It is Prince Yu who is implying something, which is difficult to refute. The ministers dare not catch the wind and catch the shadows. If you want to pursue it further, I ask the emperor to express it.

Emperor Chong'an was silent, thinking for a while, "Where is Ziyou?"

The guard paused and said, "Little Wang Ye brought Master Zhong back to the East Side Hall, and ordered someone to change the person who served him, and then he took Master Zhong to place, before going to bed... just said a few words Whispering in the pillow, nothing has anything to do with the case."

Emperor Chong'an was impatient, "What is the whisper? They didn't say anything after such a big incident?"

The guard was unable to do so, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Little Wang Ye and Master Zhong seemed to have some disputes. At first, their voices were too small and could not hear anything. Later, they probably couldn't hear anything. Master Zhong's voice was louder. I finally heard a little bit."

"Master Zhong said that if you deceive, you will deceive. If you deliberately bully him, just tie him, his...that place, why should he gag his mouth so that he can't beg for mercy? Fiddled alive."

"Yu Xiaowang's voice is very low, saying that Master Zhong is too...too...lang, gagging his mouth to make him a little bit longer, Master Zhong heard that his voice is very soft and asks if you like Lang's, then Yu Xiao The prince said again..."

"Okay!" Emperor Chong'an interrupted the guard with a headache, "I don't want to listen."

The guard was relieved.

Emperor Chong'an's breath was unstable, "I just had an assassin in the palace! They still have this thought! This..."

The eunuch hurriedly said softly, "Don't worry, the emperor, Xiao Wangye and Young Master Zhong are both smart people. They probably guessed that someone was spying from the side. Even if they say something important, they won't let the spies hear."

"Naturally I know!" Emperor Chong'an was not angry. "I am angry that they are heartless! What a terrible moment! There is still this kind of mind, something that is not promising, I have never seen a man in my life?! "

The guard dare not say much.

"Fine, I can't count on it at all."

Emperor Chong'an rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Order to go down... Princess Anguo is injured and should not be moved, and will not return to the palace temporarily."

The eunuch hurriedly persuaded, "How can it be done? How can the emperor's body of ten thousand gold stay here?"

"Going back now, how do you investigate King Yu's case?" Emperor Chong'an said coldly, "Wait for him to relax and pick himself up?"

Emperor Chong'an looked gloomy, "Ziyou wants to avoid suspicion, and there are many people from Xuanqiong in the Criminal Department. They also want to avoid suspicion, and go... order the accompanying officials to immediately draw up a charter to eliminate these people who are in the way, and organize a few useful ones. Courtier, start checking with me right away."

The eunuch understood and hurried to give orders.

After dawn, Yu She was called by Emperor Chong'an early, and Zhong Wan ate breakfast alone after getting up, waiting to hear the news.

Not long after, the attendant who came to the palace with Yu She came to inform Zhong Wan and whispered, "Those assassins are all dead."

Zhong Wan laughed, as expected by Yu She.

Zhong Wan asked, "Dali Temple is trying to avoid suspicion. Who is investigating this case now?"

"All are the emperor's cronies." The servant said in a low voice, "It's still dark, someone has returned to Beijing to pass on Prince Yu."

Zhong Wan was silent.

Emperor Chong'an wants to cut the mess quickly, and Yu Mucheng should also do it.

Zhong Wan nodded and ordered his servant to go down.

Zhong Wan thought about the "whispering" of the two people last night. It is estimated that Yu She will suffer a lot of lessons today, and may not be able to come back for a while. Zhong Wan does not dare to think that Yu She will talk to Emperor Chong'an again. Say something.

He sat bored by himself, and strolled to Xuanjing's place.

Xuan Jing still hated Zhong Wan, and looked angry at him, "What are you doing?! I'm very busy, I don't have the time to talk to you too much!"

Zhong Wan sat down with a look that the two brothers were okay, and said nothing, "What can I do for your Highness? Tell me?"

"You..." Xuan Jing stopped talking. He really hates Yu She, and now he starts to hate Zhong Wan, "Go! I talked to you a few times, but I just wanted to ask about Lin Si's traces, and I didn't want you. Toxic and wasteful, I don’t know if I can’t ask, if I don’t tell me, who would be happy to care about you?"

Zhong Wan was dumb, "No, after I met Lin Si last time, I specifically told him to let him find you. Didn't he go?"

Xuan Jing hesitated, and said vaguely, "I have been here."

Zhong Wan laughed, "really?"

Xuan Jing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she stopped talking. Zhong Wan asked a few more questions. Xuan Jing was overwhelmed and hesitated, "This month, I will put a walnut on the bedside before going to bed every day and wake up every day. Rear……"

Xuan Jing looked down, "The walnuts are gone."

Zhong Wan was stunned, recalling the allusions about "walnuts" that Yu She had said, and felt sore.

"I said something awkward that day, did he do it?" Xuan Jing almost hated Lin Si, "I left silently for several months. I clearly came back, relying on my skill. Come here while I am asleep! What is he afraid of? Afraid that I will be angry with him?"

Zhong Wan thought for a while and said, "I once told him about it. Although Lin Si didn't explain it, I probably guessed something. He seemed to be afraid that in the future, there will be an accident that will not save his life and delay. about you."

"What in case?" Xuan Jing's mouth can be pissed off as soon as he opens his mouth. "If there is any chance, Yu She will die with you! What danger can he have?!"

Zhong Wan is accustomed to being scolded by others, but it is not so happy to hear others curse Yu She to die. Zhong Wan took a deep look at Xuan Jing and said, "His Royal Highness wants to catch Lin Si, I have a way. Do you want to listen?"

Xuan Jing said hurriedly, "Say!"

"Mouse trap." Zhong Wan said seriously, "Have you seen it before?"

Xuan Jing thought for a while and gestured, "A board with an iron clip on it..."

"Yes!" Zhong Wan was serious, "Make it bigger, use a bed board as a board, put it under the bed, and put a little more walnuts on it. He comes over in the middle of the night and accidentally..."

"Are you stupid?" Xuan Jing was horrified, "Are you crazy? So boss's mousetrap, he can't see?"

Zhong Wan said seriously, "What can you see clearly in the middle of the night?"

Xuan Jing thought about it, "But it's also..."

Zhong Wan added, "If your Royal Highness is not at ease and wants extra protection, you can also buy some animal clips and put more under the window and at the foot of the bed."

Xuan Jing thought about it, but she was really tempted.
