Chapter 109: A Stratagem to Shift Trouble to Jiangdong
Xiao Yu waited for a few days, however, the news that he was waiting for almost made him collapse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Wujimen disappeared, although there are still legends of them circulating in the rivers and lakes, but no one can be found anymore, those cold-blooded killers who were once terrifying, suddenly evaporated in the world.
The dark guard looked at Xiao Yu, whose face was ashen, and continued to please: "My subordinates have secretly inquired about a few people in the rivers and lakes, and they say that the person on the bounty order is very similar to the young master of Wujimen. Wujimen was afraid that the emperor would settle accounts with them, so he retired from the rivers and lakes. ”
The answer couldn't be more obvious. The only remaining fluke fantasy in Xiao Yu's heart was shattered in an instant, and he sat down in his chair, his brain having lost the ability to think normally.
Why is this happening? Will everything he has worked so hard to do is be seen destroyed? Is it possible to watch what originally belonged to him be snatched away by others? Could it be that he can only live in the glory of others in this life?
No, you can't. He is the biological son of the Queen Mother, and the throne should have been his. Reigning in the world, admired by all people, and forever going down in history, these are all things he deserves.
Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't say anything for a long time, the secret guard asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, what should I do next?" ”
Xiao Yu raised his head and exhaled heavily, forcing himself to calm down. Since Yu Jinjiao and King Cheng have not taken any action after such a long time, they obviously have not yet grasped the conclusive evidence, otherwise they would not have searched the world for the person who knew the secret.
What's more, the people of Wujimen only knew that he assassinated Yuhou Ye, but they didn't know the reason, so it seems that things are not so bad that they can't be saved.
The matter has been revealed, it is impossible to stop it, he needs to find a way to wash away the suspicion from his body as much as possible, and it is better to get rid of those who are a threat to him together, otherwise, they are like thorns in the heart, and they will come out at some point to stab his body and soul, making him uneasy.
Xiao Yu leaned back in his chair and thought for a long time, and the panic in his eyes was gradually replaced by cold and gloomy. He motioned for the Dark Guard to step forward, and whispered something.
The dark guard listened carefully, his eyes slowly widened, and when Xiao Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Is the emperor trying to move Jiangdong?" ”
Xiao Yu glanced at him coldly in displeasure and did not answer.
The secret guard knew that he had lost his words, and immediately asked for the guilt: "If the subordinates know their mistakes, the subordinates will do it immediately." ”
Soon, the news that Yuhou Ye was assassinated began to circulate in Shangyang City, and the old past was brought up again, which immediately caused a lot of restlessness, and various speculations came into play. Especially in the court, it simply set off a big storm.
The Jade Marquis is an important minister of the imperial court, and the person who assassinated him is very likely to be his opponent in the court, so everyone's suspicious and speculative eyes quickly focused on the ministers who did not get along well with the Jade Marquis in the past.
When Yu Jinjiao and Xiao Qian learned that the news they had concealed was revealed, their hearts were half cold, and they immediately sent someone to invite Yunyi into the palace for interrogation.
"Is it the news you revealed?" Yu Jinjiao glared angrily at the person in front of her and asked coldly.
Yunyi felt extremely wronged, "I promised you not to leak the news to the outside world, how could it be me?" Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep my word? Besides, this matter is very important, and I don't know it, how dare I talk nonsense? ”
Yu Jinjiao still trusted Yunyi, and when she heard him say this, she stopped asking him, turned her head to look at Xiao Gan and said, "What does the prince think about this matter?" Who exactly leaked the news? Don't...... Is that person? The person she was talking about was, of course, the person on the bounty order, but her instincts told her that it couldn't be him.
Xiao Qian shook his head lightly: "It can't be him." Our search for the Man in Black may have aroused the suspicion of the other party, and they want to strike first, which is most likely a game set up by the other side, first to disrupt the situation, to focus everyone's attention on a few suspicious people, and then to find a scapegoat. ”
It seems that it is undoubtedly certain that Yuhou Ye was assassinated, and the other party has already secretly monitored their every move, so they can come up with countermeasures in a very short time. Is it really him? He still couldn't believe it.
Yun Yi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Actually, this is not all bad, since the other party has issued a war letter, we will just accept it." We can secretly find out who spread the news, and then follow the vine, and maybe we can find the culprit. ”
Yu Jinjiao and Xiao Qian glanced at each other and did not say anything. If the other party is an ordinary person, this is a good way, but if the other party is the emperor who can cover the sky with one hand, will you easily catch the handle? If it was really so easy to be discovered, how could it be that the events of the year could have been concealed for so long before they surfaced.
"Why don't you two speak? Don't you agree with what I said? Yun Yi looked at the silent two people in front of him and asked.
Yu Jinjiao didn't know how to answer for a while, so she shook her head and said, "No, I just think it's a bit difficult." ”
Xiao Qian thought for a while, but said, "I think this method can be tried." Yunyi, I'll leave it to you to check, be careful, don't be discovered, and pay more attention to your own safety. ”
Yunyi naturally responded.
After Yunyi left, Yu Jinjiao asked puzzledly: "The prince knows that there will be no results, why do you want Yunyi to investigate?" ”
Xiao Qian sighed and said, "It's just to find something for him to do, otherwise, according to his intelligence, he will definitely find out the clues soon, and I don't want to involve him in this matter." ”
Yu Jinjiao lowered her eyes and asked faintly: "At this point, it is certain that my father was assassinated, does the prince now believe that the emperor did it?" ”
Xiao Qian shook his head tiredly: "I don't know, because I can't think of a reason for the emperor to assassinate the Jade Marquis." ”
At this moment, someone suddenly came to the palace and said that Xiao Yu and Empress Dowager Feng invited the two of them to enter the palace tomorrow. Although the person who came did not say what they were letting into the palace for, they could guess it.
"I'm not going." After waiting for the people in the palace to leave, Yu Jinjiao firmly stated her position. She guessed that Xiao Yu would definitely falsely show her the importance and mourning of her father, and then swear to seek justice for her father. She hated the ugly face of this thief shouting to catch the thief.
Xiao Qian understood her thoughts, so naturally he would not force her, and solemnly explained: "It's not peaceful outside now, don't leave the house, everything will be said when I come back from the palace tomorrow." He rolled his gaze, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, "Maybe there will be unexpected gains from the people around us." ”
Yu Jinjiao was shocked in her heart, and said tentatively: "Does the prince mean that someone has planted eyeliner in the palace?" ”
Xiao Qian didn't deny it, but he didn't explain much, he only reassured: "You don't have to worry about it, I'll deal with it." ”
Yu Jinjiao nodded silently, only to feel a chill in her back. Could it be someone installed by the emperor? She used to feel that the emperor respected and trusted Xiao Gan very much, but now she was a little suspicious. Is there something hidden behind this respect and trust?
