Chapter 6

Looking from Wei Rou's shoulder, the four beggars were already lying motionless on the ground, their faces were gray and black, and they were obviously killed by poisoning, just like the murderers who were stabbed by me.

A machete broke in front of Lan Yue'er's feet. The blood soaked her snow-white embroidered shoes. Everything in front of her was both bloody and bizarre, making this innocent girl who sacrificed her life for her lover also became confused.

Almost everyone around was just as confused and fearful. Looking at the dead bodies all over the ground, no matter how strong the mind was, they turned their heads away and did not dare to look at the Shura Field on earth.

Feng Dazhe, hiding in the crowd, also looked confused, and even forgot that he was still pinching half of the bamboo pole in his hand, and the other half of the bamboo pole was inserted into the chest of a beggar.

But he was surprised that who should have shot stones and pointed the acupoints of the four murderers, allowing the half bamboo pole to pierce into one of them without any suspense? And it forced the other murderers to swallow the poison in their mouths and commit suicide?

Stop looking, then... it's not Yu'er. I only saw the last figure of the girl in plain clothes hiding into Yingzi Hutong from afar. The speed of the Jinghongli Shadow is not something that Jie Yu can achieve. I think it should be Tang Sanzang

If it were really rain, a ray of melancholy rose from the depths of my heart with lovesickness. I couldn't help but murmur

I don't know who shouted: Let's go quickly, the government will come later, and everyone can't tell the truth. Then everyone seemed to wake up, and suddenly the birds and beasts scattered, and even the wind prawns ran away in the chaos.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left on the street, including me and Wei Ning, Lan Yueer, who was standing in the middle of the street, and a few people who were both embarrassed and embarrassed, not even leaving.

Yue'er, thank you

I walked up quickly and held the girl in my arms. Although I was attacked for no reason, I could see the girl's simple and lovely heart.

The girl's face was flushed, she was at a loss, and she was frozen in my arms and didn't dare to move. Until she heard Ning Xin coughing gently, she hurriedly broke free from my arms and knelt in front of Ning Xin. After a long time of vagueness, she said: The girl has seen the princess Qiansui, her voice is as thin as a mosquito, and she doesn't have the courage to wield the kitchen knife just now.

Sister, get up! Although Ning Xin's face was a little pale, she still pulled Lan Yue'er up with a smile: I didn't expect that after eating iced river food at your house, we became sisters

But unexpectedly, he looked at Wei Rou

She already knew that I wanted Nalan Yue'er as her concubine, and she also knew that I didn't care much about this girl, which made her easily accept Lan Yue'er. Perhaps in her eyes, Lu Xin, who has a surprising appearance, is her strong rival.

Princess... Lan Yue'er couldn't believe this sudden good thing for a moment. She was both ashamed and happy, but she didn't dare to look at people in front of her eyes. She just expressed her gratitude

Yue'er, don't call the princess, it seems apart, just call her sister! I followed the flow, Lan Yue'er was flattered and called Ning Xin sweetly.

Wei Rou only nodded and showed off for a moment, then bent down to check the identity of the murderer.

I sighed in my heart. If Wei Rou is so smooth about things and no longer bound by the rules and regulations of Yinhu Lake, she is not as good as Ning Xin, who is five years younger than her. She is like her Mingshuang sword. Once the sword is unsheathed, she always returns with blood whenever she has a compassionate heart.

Junior sister, they would never see their origins from their weapons and clothing. The dozen or so beggars clearly had the determination to die, and they had made careful arrangements in advance.

Just like this machete, I must have bought it on the street stall, but I can ask the owner of the street stall what accent these people speak.

The concubine guessed that they were most likely soldiers. Wei Rou said softly that after experiencing the battle of Zhaobao Town, she has some understanding of the temperament of soldiers.

I nodded, but my mind quickly turned: Although the soldiers of the Bingmasi were also soldiers, even Liao Xi could not tell them to come and die! It was Jiang Kui's father, Jiang Yunsong, who was not sure, and wanted to vent his anger for his son. He had served as the commander of the left guard of the Yàn Mountain, and even kept his own troops at home. It was very possible to raise some dead soldiers. It was just that the relationship between the Jiang family and the Dai Prince's Mansion seemed to be unnecessary to use such intense means, right?!

But except for Liao Xi and Jiang Kui, I, Li Tong, have never offended anyone. Who wants to kill me? Even if I ignore my position as Jinyi and Ning Xin’s noble identity?

Just after checking four corpses, the people from the Xicheng Military Police arrived. They acted so quickly. I think Liao Xi is always good at training.

Seeing nearly thirty corpses, the leader of the team was stunned. While asking his subordinates to protect the scene, he sent people to go door to door to admit confessions, and sent someone to report to his superiors.

After a while, Liao Xi hurriedly came and listened to his subordinate's report. He walked over with a gloomy face, bowed his hands casually, and said with a smile: Lord Li is frightened.

In broad daylight, there are so many murderers who assassinate the Princess! Lord Liao, you have very good security in the West City!

Liao Xi glared at me fiercely, but had to bow to Ning Xin: The lower official had a cramped eye and did not recognize the princess. He hoped that the mob would beg for forgiveness and disturb the phoenix. The lower official's crime was also a little surprised when he saw Ning Xin combing a peony bun.

What does the crime of the mob have to do with the adults? Ning Xin smiled and said, Liao Xi's color has faded, but Ning Xin continued: However, the emperor's brother went to the Xianling Palace to beg for blessings for the people today, and they all passed by here. Did these mobs assassinate the emperor's brother but failed and instead committed a murder on this princess?

I was secretly funny. This girl is really far-fetched. This is enough for Liao Xi to drink a pot of it.

Sure enough, seeing that sweat was already oozing out of his forehead, he said embarrassedly: This...Prince...No, did Lord Li offend someone to come to take revenge?

Oh? It was Lord Liao's instructions? Ning Xin's face darkened

Liao Xi understood that Ning Xin was deliberately making things difficult for her, and her face changed several times. Finally, she said humbly: There are many princesses, so don’t see the princess like the official, so let’s arrest the murderer, and give the princess an explanation.

I am a woman, what kind of effort do I need to explain! If you have any explanation, let me tell my husband!

I said: Lord Liao, the county magistrate understands your difficulties in being an official. I won’t force you to get a reasonable explanation within half a month. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless. One month will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Your security in Xicheng is so poor. How can you ensure the safety of the emperor?

In fact, such a big mess is no longer something that I or Liao Xi can suppress.

Report to the emperor, naturally, Liao Xi is as beautiful as it is. At that time, I will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. There is no need to show it in front of him. I just sarcastically said a few words and stopped.

Liao Xi knew the priorities and did not compete with me for the advantage of the quarrel. He ordered his capable general to start checking the body with the people from Shuntian Mansion. He asked me about the incident.

I explained the matter clearly in a few words and told Lan Yue'er to wait for the good news at home patiently. I took Wei Ning and his two women to go with me.

Ning Xin felt afraid and disgusted after relaxing. In a short journey home, she stopped the carriage twice, leaned on the shaft of the carriage and vomited heavily, almost vomiting out all the bitter galls.

In fact, she has not hurt anyone. According to Jiang Chi, Princess Ning Xin’s punishment is so severe that she is quite famous among the nobles of Tianhuang. However, in her mind, there is still a certain gap between the servants and the servants, and she has also begun to learn how to give the servants appropriate respect.

When corpses stacked together like hills, this shock is not something that a fifteen-year-old girl can bear.

I saw that she personally checked whether the door latch was inserted into the door, and it made me feel so scared that she was in my heart. It made me feel sad and even made my woman feel scared. She was really unsatisfied in the capital!

However, the opponent is so stupid! I really look down on me with these insignificant characters!

Even if I am not Wang Dong, I have beaten more than a dozen men in Yipinlou. Moreover, with my identity and Ning Xin, it is very likely that the person in charge will be punished for corruption.

Wen Yan helped Ning Xin to relieve her, and her mind gradually calmed down. She told Wei Rou to take good care of her. I hurried to Changning Hou Mansion and informed Jiang Yunzhu about the whole matter.

Jiang Yunzhu was surprised and knew that she should not be taken lightly. Although he immediately ruled out that his elder brother Jiang Yunsong was the behind-the-scenes commander, he still went there in person. Soon, Jiang Chi and Jiang Kui returned to Changning Hou Mansion with him.

The Queen Mother likes Ning Xin very much, and she is a relative. I will find a day to let Ning Xin go to the palace to chat with the elderly! Jiang Yunzhu is still afraid that Ning Xin’s target is Ning Xin, so she wants Ning Xin to enter the palace to avoid it: Besides, if the Queen Mother comes forward, it is easy to say about the marriage.

I am no one, but I am not willing in my heart. The harem is so filthy and evil. I heard that the emperor in Shao Yuanjie’s mouth is not much better than the absurd late emperor. I don’t want Ning Xin to suffer any secret losses in the palace.

However, for Jiang Yunzhu, he had already made a good attitude and said that he was not in good spirits. He left the rest to the young man and went to have fun with his concubine.

Seeing Jiang Yunzhu leave, a layer of ridicule suddenly appeared on Jiang Kui's face: Brother Li, being arrogant requires capital, how can the capital come from? The same clan, fellow villager, and comrades in the same subject offend like you, sooner or later, become lonely and become lonely, and you still need to assassinate you? Everyone will drown you if you spit! Brother Li, let's learn from your mistakes!

Fourth brother, your mouth is really unforgivable

Jiang Chi's laughter diluted the embarrassment in the house. Jiang Kui was an excellent actor. He interpreted his resentment towards me clearly. Jiang Chi naturally wanted to come out to be a peacemaker: I can't say that. The Zhang brothers offended the crowd, and I have never seen anyone dare to vomit his slut before! Besides, what is the relationship between the Dai Wang Mansion and the Jiang family? They are relatives who are in the same mood. They are openly against Li Tong and the Dai Wang. Maybe they are going to be for our Jiang family and even the emperor. There are really many people who offended our Jiang family in the big gift case!

When I heard that Jiang Chi was as exaggerated as Ning Xin, even with even more than that, I felt a little emotional. If the emperor believed Jiang Chi, Ning Xin's assassination would have become a good excuse to purge the dissidents in the court, and this is politics!

Jiang Kui glanced at Jiang Chi in a slight manner, with complex eyes, both surprised and envious.

Since Jiang Chi became the head of the Ministry of Justice, his sharpness has gradually emerged, and now it has aroused Jiang Kui's vigilance and attention. He was originally considered a ignorant and rude child, but he was actually a young handsome man who was hidden.

What the elder brother said is that the case happened in Fanzi Hutong, and Shuntian Prefecture and Xicheng Bingmasters cannot escape the blame. Although Shuntian Prefecture Ge Zhiye was a descendant of Zhang Heling's son and daughter. Liao Xi, commander of Xicheng Bingmasters, was very close to several hard-working officials of the Zhisei Sect. Although he has restrained himself now, it is hard to say whether he will overturn the case if he has the opportunity to rectify them.

The fourth brother is still smart! However, the old man Ge Zhiye is quite loyal and unbiased. Like the second uncle who bought land, Zhang Yanling stopped him, and the old man Ge did not help his in-laws. The emperor valued him very much. It would be better to target Liao Xi.

A mere sixth-rank military commander is responsible for such a big fight? Wouldn't this be used to hit mosquitoes with red cannons?! Jiang Kui disagreed

Don’t underestimate Liao Xi, it’s because he has tendons and bones! Besides, fourth brother, your brother is poor in bones and can’t do things. You are twenty years old, and it’s time to come forward to help the emperor and the Jiang family. A sixth-rank commander is just right for your identity!

Dongshan, it’s not me who provoked your brothers’ relationship. Jiang Kui is a narrow-minded person, and he may not be the capable candidate for the Xicheng Military and Ma Si...

Ziyu, you may not know that Ri'an will not last long. Taiqi will definitely inherit my uncle's title, but the emperor has never been the crown prince. Yang Tinghe also bullies the emperor at a young age and has been in charge of the government for many years. The emperor has few trusted ministers, so he naturally has to borrow relatives. The Jiang family has six younger brothers, so he can't favor one and the other!

I thought to myself, of course I knew that Jiang Yao was already in his life, and Jiang Kui took over as the Xicheng Military Command and made me more beneficial than disadvantages, but I still pretended to be regretful and said: In terms of this, my brother Jiang Yuan is much more stable, and he is a more suitable candidate, and not to mention that the project of Chenlizi Hutong also requires our own help to take care of...

Taiqi is his own person! Jiang Chi smiled, but a strange color suddenly flashed in his eyes

Don't love, why are you so mysterious? Also, where is your beard? Fang Xianfu looked surprised, but according to my words, he asked Baozhu to go to the outside room

Senior brother, I had no choice but to do it! I looked helpless and said it all about the attack at night.

You are Princess Ning Xin’s husband?! What should I do with Yin? Could it be that you divorced her?

Fang Xianfu said in surprise, then shook his head and said: No, although I only heard rumors that Princess Ning Xin had found her husband in the capital, the man's name seemed to be...

It’s called Li Tong, right? Senior brother, I am Li Tong Ah!

Fang Xianfu stood up and looked at the door nervously. Seeing that the door was closed, he heard me telling me that it was a secret. He seemed to be relieved and said in a low voice: Don’t love, why are you so chaotic? Let people know that you are cheating on the princess under your name, and you will be guilty of death!

You can pretend to be Li Tong as the emperor's imperial edict!

The emperor also made a fool of himself! Fang Xianfu blurted out, his expression relaxed, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He realized that he had said the wrong thing and glared at me hard: Anyway... it was a fool of himself!

I carefully described the causes and consequences, and said that the emperor had an order to prevent me from revealing my identity. Fang Xianfu then cleared his face and said with a smile: You should scold me too. When you encounter difficult things, you remembered your senior brother. I asked Gui E again, did Chen Xiyi know about this?

I shook my head, actually I had hesitated at the beginning, who would be more suitable to find first

Chen Xiyi is a pure soldier and has no influence on the political situation, so he naturally puts it aside first; while Gui Fang and the other two, logically speaking, Gui E's status is higher than that of Senior Brother Fang, and my uncle is my godfather, so they should discuss it with him first, but I remembered the evaluation of Teacher Yangming Gong of the Senior Brother, and Baozhu was deeply favored by Senior Brother, so I made up my mind to reveal the secret of Li Tong's identity to Senior Brother.

Zishi is violent and knows that Li Tong is you, and he is likely to work hard for you. This can easily arouse others' suspicion. If you expose your identity, the emperor will notice it. It will be unfavorable to you. It should be hidden from him for a while! However, when you have a headache in the future, Fang Xianfu pondered: Besides, dealing with Liao Xi, the people of the Jiang family are enough. Don’t be in love with you, I’m afraid there are other things!

I can't hide anything from my senior brother. I praised him and said with a smile: Such a big thing, I just pulled Liao Xi off the horse. Ning Xin and I were frightened. It would be too worthless.

Are you frightened? I am afraid that the opponent who is hiding behind the scenes is frightened! Fang Xianfu joked: You are also wondering, why don’t you rush to find the murderer? If the murderer has the first assassination, there will be a second time!

The dead soldier is not that easy to train! Besides, after suffering such a big setback, it is too late to hide from the main person behind the scenes. No one will want to threaten me with a knife in the near future. I can slowly pull out his tail. What I am anxious about now is how to use this matter to attack my senior brother and my enemies.

In fact, I vaguely realized that those dead soldiers might have something to do with the sect. During the battle between Song Suqing and the sect, I had seen the madness of the Japanese looking at death. Besides, the Japanese were no different from the Han people, and they never said a single Chinese word from beginning to end.

But it was Wang Dong and Chen Xiyi who had a grudge against the clan. Why did they find Li Tong? I can't explain the key points of this incident, so I have to keep my doubts in my heart.

Aren’t your enemies all in the world?

The teacher once said that the world is a corner of the country, and the roots of many martial arts sects are in the temple. Do you know Ding Cong?

Zhejiang governor Ding Cong Ding Wentai? He has an affair with the world? Fang Xianfu frowned and thought for a while, and said seriously: Don’t love, I remember that he promoted the case of Bao Daxiang last year. In the end, because you came forward to defend, you rejected the evidence from the government one by one. Zishi sent a letter to Hangzhou Prime Minister Wen Gongda to ask him to make a fair trial. The case was settled. Could it be that you want to vent your anger on your Yue family?

Senior brother, you underestimate me too!

I was so arrogant that Fang Xianfu laughed: Don't love you, you're not just acting irritable.

But then his face turned dark, his fingers subconsciously popped the table, and after a while, he said: Not to mention whether Ding Cong had an affair with the world, this person is quick-witted and a capable official, and he is a general of the Sutong Sect. To deal with him, it is a strife in the internal sect.

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: Although the emperor is just Yang Tinghe, the Sui Tong faction is still weak in the court. Among the thirteen governors, only three of them agreed to the Sui Tong but not the successor.

But Ding Cong not only had an affair with the world, but was also suspected of trafficking in Japanese pirates and smuggling and killing people...

Then he couldn't touch him now! Fang Xianfu said firmly: If Jitong sent such a person, it would cause a major blow to the reputation of Jitong faction, which is not something Jitong faction can bear at the moment!

He sighed: In short, this is because the emperor's throne came too accidental. He was young and the emperor had never been the crown prince. He had not even been in the capital for a few days before he ascended the throne. He had no contact with the ministers in the court. The old talents and morals of the Xingxian Palace were not enough to bear the heavy responsibility of managing the country. The emperor had too few confidant ministers.

Perhaps seeing my expression was a little abnormal, he slowed down: Don't worry, don't worry, if it is really as you said, he will never escape the national law. It's just a one or two years. For another one or two years, the emperor's foundation is stable, and it doesn't matter if he succeeds.

I have to let him be free for one or two years... I murmured in disappointment. I originally wanted to seek help from Fang Xianfu, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

But Senior Brother Fang's words are not unreasonable. Besides, he and Gui E are my most powerful aid in the court. I can't do anything to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself.

It would be great if the teacher was in the court, he would be the three Ding Cong alone...

I don’t know about Zishi and I! Fang Xianfu smiled bitterly: Unfortunately, the teacher is dedicated to the country and the country, but he offended the people in power. Zishi and I have submitted memorials many times, asking the emperor to use the teacher. Every time the chief assistant Fei Hong strongly opposed it, the emperor did not comment, and the matter was put on hold.

He sighed and said again: The emperor suspected that the teacher was very good at his master. Fei Hong was jealous of the teacher's unparalleled talent. This is easy to understand. However, a large number of important officials in the army opposed the teacher's return to the mountain. Later I realized that the teacher quickly destroyed the Ning thief's rebellion in 46 days, which made many people lose the opportunity to be promoted. According to their words, if this battle lasts for one year or two years, it would be impossible to fight dozens of princes like Chengzu Jingnan! On the contrary, those middle and lower-level officers also regarded the teacher as the Ming Dynasty military gods. On the contrary, those middle and lower-level officers also regarded the teacher as the Ming Dynasty military gods.

Then... the teacher will never have a day to stand out? I feel a chill in my heart

Not all, there are not many famous generals in the court, and there are very few civil servants who can lead troops. Once the war starts, the teacher will still be expected to resume, but the country is at the moment, and the people are at peace. Where can there be any war?

War... War... Where can there be war? Looking out the window, the north wind blows hard, the flowers and trees shake, and there are no stars and moons in the sky: ...It's going to rain again
