Volume 3 Chapter 106 Silently
At the gate of Jindu City, the forbidden army was under martial law, and a large but very low-key convoy was stopped, and an inconspicuous carriage in the convoy slowly stopped in front of the city gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Bin stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Prince Zhuo Rui's son, Deputy Commander of Jindu Sima, Yang Bin, I have seen Qiao Guogong, and at the behest of His Majesty, I have come to greet Qiao Guogong." ”
The car door was opened, and an old man slowly bent out of the car, dressed in yew trees, with a black robe draped over it, and a totem embroidered with gold thread on the clothes, like a white tiger face with teeth and claws.
The old man's face is old, but his body is slender and tall, his facial features are elegant, as if he has been through the wind and clouds, and his eyes are wise and calm, falling on people, making people involuntarily respect.
Qiao Guogong, who won the trust of the first emperor, entrusted him with Jiangshan Sheji, as the emperor's arm, once commanded 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Northwest Army, and fought on the battlefield for decades.
- The head of the Qiao family, Qiao Loufeng.
Since he was taken back from the military power, Qiao Guogong took his convoy all the way, stopped and walked, visited friends, and had a glimpse of the famous mountains.
His face was deep, he did not smile, he stood with his hands in his hands, and his voice was low: "What is the matter?" ”
In the face of such pressing pressure, Yang Bin lowered his eyes, clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty has a decree, please invite Qiao Guogong to enter the palace for a while." Yang Bin turned sideways, and the car from the palace was already waiting in the city gate, surrounded by the forbidden army in the palace.
It was driven by the emperor himself.
Qiao Loufeng raised his head and looked at the crowd standing in front of the city gate - the Qiao family did not come to greet him.
His eyes moved slightly, he leaned down, and slowly got out of the carriage holding the hand of the personal guard, and suddenly stood unsteadily, his body shook, Yang Bin just stretched out his hand to help him, and Qiao Guogong had stabilized his body.
Qiao Guogong took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, calmed down, straightened his clothes, raised his head, and said with a calm expression: "Old minister, obey the order." ”
Yang Bin suddenly couldn't bear it, turned his head sideways, and tears flashed in his eyes - the young man lost his father and brother, the middle-aged lost his wife, and the old man lost his children and grandchildren.
Yang Bin didn't know if Qiao Guogong could support it after knowing the news of Qiao Gongzi.
The joys and sorrows of life and death, glory and decline in his life, God seems to let him appreciate it.
In the palace, calm and suffocating, the Spring and Autumn Banquet was surprised to see the assassins sent by Beirong, pointing directly at the crown prince. Although the prince was only frightened, Qiao Mobai, the eldest grandson of the Qiao State Mansion, was assassinated in order to protect the prince and died in time.
Almost all the families were involved in this conspiracy to assassinate, and they were either imprisoned or detained in the palace, and only some of the powerful families were able to take their young masters and young ladies home, and the palace also sent people to closely monitor them.
The Emperor was furious, furious, scolded all the officials, and immediately ordered the detention of all the Interior Ministers who were involved in horse races.
The crown prince sat in the hall in a daze, and Won Yeol sat beside him, holding his hand tightly. The prince was covered in blood, and he has not been replaced until now.
Commander Sima of Jindu reported to His Royal Highness: "On the day of the banquet, the other party used this to infiltrate the palace, and after investigation, the identity of the assassin was the young master of the Lu family of Qingzhou Mansion, and then sent people to Qingzhou Mansion to arrest people, and found that the convoy of Lu from Qingzhou Mansion had been all killed on the way and buried on the spot. The Assassins entered the capital with their names, and the ministers had already found the inn where the convoy was staying, some of them had already absconded in advance, and the few who were left behind had committed suicide by biting their tongues, and the tiger's mouth was tattooed with Beijung patterns. ”
"When the Assassins entered the palace, several members of the palace were killed. After changing the list in the palace, during the game, he smoothly entered the field and joined the polo team. The minister thought that this person was good at disguise, and there were many people in the palace to help. ”
Under the saddle of the horses arranged for the Assassins, a hidden buckle was hidden, and in the clasp was a dagger with poison and blood on the throat.
If it weren't for Qiao Mobai pushing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away, as long as this dagger cut the prince, the prince would also be poisoned within an hour.
His heart is punishable, and his deeds are vicious.
The palace people and ministers in charge of the transportation of horses in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all arrested, put on death row, tortured, and then some people were tortured, and although the palace people who confessed to the instructions behind the scenes, although the number was small, they were carefully arranged, step by step, and sent the assassins and assassination weapons to the prince.
Although these palace people confessed their upline, after the palace people above the upline were assassinated, they committed suicide by biting poison in their own houses, holding the determination to die, and the clue was broken.
This matter involves a wide range of implications, one of the palace people who committed suicide is still in the palace of the concubine, the emperor was shocked, although the concubine was not angry, but the power of the harem was temporarily deprived, and the concubine almost went to kneel in the temple to ask the emperor for guilt.
The female officials of the Sixth Bureau, including the female officials below the Imperial Palace, were all brought to the Shang Fang Division for questioning, and if they were suspected, they were directly submitted to the Criminal Department for torture.
-- The emperor himself said that he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than spare one.
Yuan Lie saw that Yang Yu was still in a trance, and he didn't know if he had listened to the commander's words, so he had to say to the commander: "Be sure to clarify the identity of the assassin, thoroughly investigate the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the assassin knows all the arrangements, and there must be a high-ranking and powerful person in the palace to help." ”
The commander's gaze swept over the prince, and he clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty has already ordered, and the minister will do his best to investigate this matter thoroughly." Yuan Lie nodded and asked Liu Zhuo to send the commander out.
Yuan Lie sighed deeply and looked at Yang Yu beside him, the prince's eyes were dull, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
He didn't expect that he would leave for a day, and something like this would happen.
He inquired about the Yuan family's eyeliner and hidden stakes in the palace, only to find that some of the eyeliner was secretly extinguished in the palace, and no one noticed the other dark lines.
Except for the knowledge that the assassins were sent by Beijung, all other clues were broken.
Beirong has always been at odds with Da Liang, and he estimates that Beirong's assassination of the prince is very likely, but Beirong must have someone behind the scenes. This person has a deep foundation in the inner palace, is ruthless, counts as nothing is missing, and is precise every step, and he actually kept everyone in the dark.
Even the royal guards didn't notice it.
The prince opened his hand, his hands were covered with blood, and he seemed to be able to feel that when his hand pressed on Qiao Mo's white neck, the blood veins were beating violently, and the hot blood gushing out of the thin blood gushed out along his fingers, and he couldn't hold it down at all.
He didn't know how to do medicine, he didn't know what to do, and he was panicked and scared.
He could only pray to the heavens.
The blood pulsed weaker and weaker, weaker and weaker, and finally there was only blood...... Only blood gushed out.
Qiao Mobai lay on his back in his arms, his appearance reflected in his eyes, just silently, without breathing.
As if seeing himself, dead in his own arms. (To be continued.) )
