Watch again, please remember us at MobileReader.com
In the assassination case in the palace, Wu Zhengxiang originally thought that as long as he followed the traces left by the assassin and followed the vine, it would take some time at most to find the real murderer behind it.
Who would have thought that neither the female musician of the Jiaofang Division nor the three people who took poison and died in the final assassination of the emperor in the main hall, could not find any clues in them.
It's like these people come out of thin air, with no identity and no relatives or friends. However, how could such a person exist? Not only Wu Zhengxiang, but also those who pursued the case, such as Dali Temple, Yingwei, and Beiya, all had this kind of absurd feeling.
It's like the other party is a beast that shows its fangs and claws in the dark, and returns to the darkness if it doesn't succeed.
Although Emperor Qinglong was furious, he was also helpless about such a result. Even if the punishment is lowered, it can't change the result, and there is no other way than to wait for the opponent's next attack.
Wu Zhengxiang was holding a crossbow arrow, and in Fang Cai's sharp arrow, he smelled the same smell as the assassination in the palace.
The carriage followed the flow of people into Anximen, and Wu Zhengxiang first escorted Xu Wenmin and Xu Wenyu to Xu's house before returning to the house with Xu Wanzhen.
After dinner together, Wu Zhengxiang said: "I'm going to go out, I'll be a little busy these days, you don't have to wait for me to eat." ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded, knowing that he was going to track down the assassin, and advised: "You must pay attention to safety, and you must not be in danger." ”
Wu Zhengxiang stroked her smooth green silk and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is a lady, how can I be willing to die easily." There are still a few days left in the holiday given by the emperor, but I may go to the government in advance, if you want to go out, you must call Mulan and Mei Xin to escort you. ”
Looking at today's situation, this arrow wanted to take his life, not Xu Wanzhen. Even so, being by her side would be dangerous. It's better to let the female guard escort her, Wen Mulan's skills are trustworthy, and with a henchman secretly guarding him, he must be safe.
After sending Wu Zhengxiang out, Xu Wanzhen crooked on the bed and thought about today's events. Inexplicably, she was a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't tell the source.
……
When the lights were first on, the outer courtyard of the prince's mansion was in the small courtyard of Wang Miaoyan.
She sat alone in the dark, and the rest of the men were held back by her. The figure flashed, and a man in black half-knelt down and reported: "The subordinates are incompetent and have failed to complete the task." ”
"Oh?" Wang Miaoyan said lightly: "Is Wu Zhengxiang still alive?"
The man in black nodded: "It's alive." ”
The moon peeked out from behind the clouds and shone on a smile of unknown meaning on Wang Miaoyan's face.
"I see, you go down. ”
She has always been cruel, and the man in black was slightly stunned, and when he saw that she had no intention of punishing her, he bowed and retired.
At some point, a small white flower bloomed in the grass, swaying with the cool breeze of the autumn night. Wang Miaoyan looked at it for a long time before she retracted her gaze, stood up, and returned to the house in a curling manner.
She didn't want Wu Zhengxiang's life in the first place.
If he really died, who should he rebel against? Giving such an order, it was just that she knew that Wu Zhengxiang's kung fu was extremely high, and he only had a crossbow arrow quenched with poison, so she couldn't help him.
The man in black didn't know this. If he knew, he wouldn't be able to shoot such an indomitable arrow, and he wouldn't let Wu Zhengxiang misjudge and think that the other party was coming at him.
……
The man in black left the prince's mansion, and after making sure that no one was following him, he went to an inconspicuous house to change his clothes. When he came out of it, he was already dressed as an ordinary person.
He wrapped a turban, a coarse cloth robe, and tied a jade pendant of fine color around his waist. It seems that it is the most common kind of people in Beijing, who are not living well, and they also have a few spare money in hand.
He walked and walked to the outside of the Hu Family Theater. The guy was shouting hard: "Ladies and gentlemen, please here, please here, please! The gong has just started inside, and Boss Jiang's new play has started on the first day!"
The man in the robe stopped and glanced twice at the play card hanging outside the garden. The man's gaze stopped on his jade pendant, and then he stepped forward to greet him politely, "This master, please inside! Today's new drama will never teach you to take out the silver in vain." ”
The man in the robe nodded and stepped inside.
The gongs and drums in the garden were noisy and lively, and the seats were full. There were two circles of people standing next to him, and they watched with relish.
The opera garden is different from other businesses, not only does it need to pay money, but it also needs someone to support it. These people who are standing and watching in vain can't be beaten by the troupe. As long as they dare to pick up, these people will go to other theater gardens, and maybe they will have to scold a few words and slam the door. Naturally, the more people, the more prosperous the field.
The Ge Pao also stood aside, watching with great interest like the others.
Jiang Chen on the stage was acting at a critical juncture, and the audience was silent, worried about the fate of the characters on the stage. When Jiang Chen survived the defeat into victory, he lit up an extremely long flower cavity, and the audience applauded.
Immediately, there were constantly flower baskets, flower cards and other things sent to the stage. Ge Pao also called the guy on the side and sent a flower card up, and the payment was: Lu Yuan.
There were too many flower baskets and cards sent this time, and Jiang Chen had to suspend the performance to thank him.
When his gaze fell on Lu Yuan's two words, his eyes shrank suddenly, and then returned to normal. Let go of the red tassel gun that was originally held with both hands, hold the right hand in the second fist, and make a two-two gesture with the left hand.
After two moments, seeing his gestures, the people of Ge Pao secretly thought silently.
The excitement of the opera garden gradually dissipated, and the people watching the play smacked their mouths, reminiscing about the extraordinary features of today's play. The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, rushing home before the doors closed.
At two moments of ugliness, the Ge robe appeared in Jiang Chen's courtyard on time. The door was slightly open, and he dodged in.
"Didn't I say, don't contact him for the past few years?" Jiang Chen sat facing him, his eyes were cold, and he asked in a low voice: "You take my words as the wind in your ears?"
Ge Pao hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Master, this time is different. ”
He has been ordered to lurk in the prince's mansion, recruited by the prince as a top master in the rivers and lakes, and finally returned to the secret spy team under Wang Miaoyan's jurisdiction.
On weekdays, he only did his best to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Miaoyan, and did not contact Jiang Chen. Especially after the assassination at the celebration banquet, all the people and horses belonging to Jiang Chen hid.
But this time, he received an order from Wang Miaoyan to assassinate Wu Zhengxiang, and after thinking about it, he really felt weird.
After detailing the ins and outs of the matter, Fang said: "Master, I always feel that this matter is strange. Obviously asked me to assassinate him, but I didn't succeed but didn't pursue it. What kind of medicine is this woman selling in her gourd? Maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity. ”
The master plans to take advantage of the competition between the prince and the king of Qi to make a profit. He knew this intention. Therefore, when the matter involved the Zhongguo Mansion, and when the martial arts had just expressed their stance on the side of King Qi, he hurriedly came to report.
