Chapter 281: Totem

The next day, there was still no progress in tracking down the assassin, and Gu Liuying's injuries were a little recurring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lin Qitan was upset in his heart, first dropped the fruit plate for breakfast, and then reprimanded Wu Huansheng for no reason, for a while, the guards and maidservants of Jingpei Palace held their breath, and they were worried in their hearts, lest they would cause death.

Lin Yinyin saw that the situation was not good, so she slipped away early and hid back in the hall to play with Si Xiu. Lin Jianzhi wanted to avoid Lin Qitan, but he really couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he had to stay in the main hall and accompany Lin Qitan.

Lin Yiren knew that his mother was fine, and he planned to secretly observe whether the Emperor Ju had any impact on Lin Qitan, so he simply settled down and stayed in the palace, just waiting to be reprimanded by Lin Qitan. However, before Lin Qitan became angry again, Gui Shinan and Feng Jintai had already asked for a meeting outside the palace, saying that they had seized clues related to the assassins.

Lin Qitan, as an emperor, does have its advantages, the assassination of Xiaoyin Pavilion that day was so thrilling, in order to avoid the confusion of Yifan people, he not only ordered Feng Jintai to block the news to the outside world, but also asked the royal Baiju banquet competition to be held as usual, Yifan Yiying officials also according to the deployment, each in their place, not to leak the slightest rumor.

Naturally, the assassins want to investigate, but how to investigate is very particular. The whole city is under martial law, and it is one method to search for the real culprit from house to house, and it is another method to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and peel off the cocoon.

The assassin was well-planned and decisive, and after the assassination failed, he either died under the sword, or committed suicide by taking poison in fear of sin, but he did not leave a single living mouth, and he was by no means a chivalrous man.

In the past few days, Yi Fan's disturbances have made Lin Qitan vigilant, no matter what forces manipulated all this, he clearly felt the power hidden in the shadows. If Yi Fan is chaotic, the people behind the assassin will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble, and Lin Yitan will never fall for the trick and step into the trap set step by step.

Lin Qitan not only had to track down the assassins, but also secretly investigated and made special investigations, in order to pull out Mao Lianru, uproot the people behind the assassins, and kill them all. In this way, the heads of Gui Shinan and Feng Jintai are equivalent to hanging on the waistband of their trousers, and whether they can find out the assassin or not, it has become the foundation of their lives.

Feng Jintai's cough and asthma had already improved, but because he had the heart to retreat, he pretended to cough a few times in front of Lin Qitan from time to time. Hearing that Lin Qitan had been assassinated that day, Feng Jintai panicked, and immediately his legs were weak, and his cough and asthma immediately returned, and he had the posture of chasing his soul with his life.

When the assassin carried out the assassination, it happened that Gui Shinan was around Lin Tantan, and if it weren't for the support of his subordinates, Gui Shinan would have been convulsed directly. Thinking that the Xiaoyin Pavilion was originally Gui Shinan's industry, it was nothing more than hindering the official position, so that the descendants of the descendants had a name to operate, and now the emperor had an accident on his own ground, no matter how Gui Shinan shirked it, he couldn't count all this matter on Feng Jintai's head.

Feng Jintai's relationship with the return to the government has always been delicate. The foundation of self-sustainment in the return to the mansion is deep, and there are people in the court who have never put Feng Jintai in their eyes, and Feng Jintai also has an unusual relationship with King Zhe and Lin Juyao.

But now that the emperor has been assassinated, it is a matter of more than 100 people from Guifu and Feng Mansion, Gui Shinan and Feng Jintai are not only frightened, but also frightened, and can no longer care about each other's thoughts, and they are disobedient to each other, and the only way to go is to help each other in the same boat and survive to the death.

For one day and two nights, Gui Shinan and Feng Jintai sent people to investigate and secretly investigate, and finally found clear clues through clues. However, the discovery of the Assassin's traces and the capture of the Assassin to trace the origin and find the mastermind behind it are very different meanings.

Gui Shinan and Feng Jintai are both old ministers, and after being hung outside the palace by Lin Qitan for a while, they knew that it was extremely difficult to pass today's level, and they immediately sweated and trembled, and they only hated to be able to dissect their hearts and livers and prove their innocence to Lin Qitan.

On the way into the main hall, Wu Huansheng told Gui Shinan and Feng Jintai to deal with it carefully, which once again made the two of them like frightened birds. Almost never closed his eyes, coupled with sincere fear and confusion, Feng Jintai's coughing and wheezing sound was far away from the main hall, and it was clearly heard by Lin Qitan.

Lin Yiren sat in front of the desk, tapping lightly on the desk with his fingertips...... It is not easy for Gui and Feng to find clues in such a short period of time, but they don't know who the mastermind behind this is, and once the news is clear, will it make her mother Gu Liuying's previous guidance of Lin Qitan fall short.

After returning to Shinan and Feng Jintai into the hall, they immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, shouting long live.

"Get up. Lin Qitan said impatiently, "Find out what you find out, and report them to me one by one." ”

Gui Shinan glanced at Feng Jintai, and Feng Jintai clutched his chest and coughed again.

Gui Shinan was secretly annoyed, so he had to accompany him and said carefully, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, King Xuan was assassinated in Pinxuan Tower, although Lord Feng did not capture the real murderer, but he has registered all the outsiders in recent days. Wei Chen thought that the assassin was likely to have infiltrated the city on the occasion of the royal banquet, so he started from the roster and spared no detail to send people to investigate all corners of Yifan. ”

Feng Jintai heard that Gui Shinan brought up the old matter, and insisted on bringing in the assassination of King Zhen earlier, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. Fortunately, Lin Yitan didn't care about Lin Yiren's life and death, and directly put the tea cup on the case with a black face.

"No need to go around in circles, get to the point!"

"Yes. "Gui Shinan shook," the emperor ...... Your Majesty, two hours ago, General Yi Fan found out that the assassin had stayed in a vacant farmhouse, and Wei Chen and Lord Feng rushed over. After arriving at the place, Wechen found that there seemed to be traces of worship outside the farmhouse, and among the burned things, there was a piece of cloth that had not been burned. ”

As he spoke, Gui Shinan took out a handkerchief from his bosom and opened it carefully...... The handkerchief was like a piece of cloth the size of a palm, charred black all around, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the color.

"Just this piece of cloth, what can it say who is an assassin?" Lin Qitan was slightly angry.

The emperor was angry. Gui Shinan said busily, "This piece of cloth is indeed inconspicuous, but the traces left on the piece of cloth reminded Weichen of a pattern." ”

"Pattern?" Lin Qitan motioned to Wu Huansheng, "Go, show it to me." ”

Wu Huansheng bowed forward, took the handkerchief in Gui Shinan's hand, and presented it to Lin Qitan with both hands.

Lin Qitan looked at the handkerchief and disdained to throw it on the case, "This horizontal and vertical is just a child's graffiti work, your dignified master actually used this to bluff me?"

When Lin Yiren heard this, his eyebrows jumped slightly. Pattern...... Horizontal and vertical is just a child's graffiti work...... Once upon a time, when Ma Yi handed him a piece of oil paper, Lin Yiren was also a little confused, but later, between the vertical and horizontal brushwork, a shocking word "Xuan" was faintly revealed.

"Your Majesty ......" Gui Shi Nan knelt on the ground, "The emperor who died three hundred years ago and wiped out the species, do you still remember?"

"Emperor?" Lin was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly, and he picked up the cloth on the case again and looked at it carefully.

"Weichen deeply studied the customs and politics of the previous dynasty, and was very familiar with the totem of Xuanguo, which evolved from the word "Xuan", which seemed to be disorganized, but in fact it was the logo of Xuanguo. Therefore, Weichen thought that the assassination the day before yesterday was committed by the remnants of Xuan Guo, and the mastermind behind it must have an inseparable relationship with the royal descendants of Xuan Guo. ”

Smack! Lin Qitan slapped the cloth on the case heavily, and said sharply, "Since the country is ruined and the species is extinct, how can you say that the royal descendants of the Xuan Kingdom are here!"

"The emperor forgives the sins!" Gui Shinan was shocked and kowtowed again and again, "That assassin is the remnant of the Xuan Kingdom, and Weichen is speechless, begging the emperor for forgiveness!"

Lin Qitan snorted and didn't speak.

"My father was angry. Lin Jianzhi got up and said, "Lord Gui's words are inappropriate, and he should be held responsible, but at present, the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom are still making waves in Yifan, and the sons think that the father and the emperor might as well order the Lord Gui and Lord Feng to strictly investigate this matter, and wipe out the remnants of the Xuan Kingdom, and make up for the mistakes with merit, wouldn't it be better?"
