Chapter 269: Assassin Kills
At the moment when the gate was knocked out of a large hole by the crashing car, the palace guards cheered, three silent black arrows flew out of the shadows, and one by one pierced into the chest of King Rinjun!
The smile on King Ringun's face froze, and he looked down in disbelief at his heart. The three arrow feathers were still trembling slightly, and his black-red blood slowly flowed out of the wound, with a fishy smell.
"Ah......h It was only then that someone found out that he had been assassinated, and several cronies shouted and gathered around. I don't know if it was a mistake or deliberate, but one of them hit the arrow with his elbow in a panic. King Rin wailed and his eyes rolled white.
Before he fell, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a long, jade white figure not far away. This person, he is very familiar. But his consciousness slowly became trance, and black and red blood foam spurted out of his mouth, and his head tilted, and he died like this. Until he died, he could not remember who this man was.
Pei Junshao's eyes drooped, as if he didn't see the chaotic scene in front of him. He unfolded the folding fan in his hand, shook it gently, and said to Xiao Pengju: "If I were you, I would quickly send a letter to Xiao Hongluan, King Rin Jun will not live anymore, shouldn't she, who is a wife, throw everything back?" ”
Although Xiao Pengju was shocked that a conspiracy to assassinate the king and kill the driver happened in front of his eyes, he had already thought of this section. This is a great opportunity to test Xiao Hongluan, if Xiao Hongluan comes back, then what she is in a hurry to do should not be a big deal. But if she hadn't looked back......
"Xiao Da, you personally go and deliver a letter to Aunt Hongluan!" Xiao Pengju commanded, and strode up to the crowd. The person present at this time, his status is the most noble, and now all the archdeacons are closed. He deserves to come forward.
At Xiao Pengju's reprimand, the palace guards of King Rin County stopped the siege battle that had just begun. The subordinate officials of the Rin County Mansion also sent people to chase Xiao Hongluan, and at the same time, they sent people to search everywhere to find the assassin. Even if Xiao Peng can't get ahead, the prince's personal guards will no longer care about Changchun Courtyard.
Catching a glimpse of the archer appearing silently at the outermost part of the archer team, Pei Junshao smiled slightly, and said to the little guy next to him: "I watched the play for a long time." I was very tired. Let's go back. ”
Myrrh said to Xiao Pengju's people, and helped Pei Junshao to turn around when he boarded the carriage. Pei Junshao looked back at Changchun Courtyard before boarding the car, it had been so long. It is also a strange thing that there is such a big movement outside, and the large courtyard has not responded until now.
The poison on the poisoned arrow was very strong, and King Rin had already died of poison. The royal guards have nothing to gain reads();. Failed to find the Assassin who had released the cold arrows outside. The chief and deputy commanders among the guards discussed, and directly poured this plate of dirty water onto the head of Changchun Courtyard as a matter of course.
Because of concerns about Zong Zhengke's scheming and real plans. Xiao Pengju did not express a strong and resolute opposition to this, but only said that whether the assassin was from Changchun Courtyard or not would have to be carefully investigated. If it is really the slave maid of Changchun Courtyard, it is natural to be convicted of the big crime of assassinating the king. But at this time. He would never allow the people of the Rin County Mansion to enter Changchun Temple again. He has to take control of things in his own hands.
- If the assassin is really a servant of Changchun Yuan, even if Zong Zhengke, the master, is not present. There will be some kind of burden. Among them, maybe there is an article that can be done.
Xiao Pengju soon planned. The royal palace guards were ordered to carry the body of King Rin back to the palace. The people of the palace were no longer reconciled, but they had no choice but to retreat from the eldest son of the patriarch of Xifu.
The death of a county king is not a trivial matter, and it has to be reported to the government and the capital. But these are things that can't be rushed, Xiao Pengju only shows his shrewd and capable side at this time, and at the same time, he is not deliberately embarrassed by the contradiction between his father's room and Xiao Hongluan's room, but he has a good reputation.
After sending all the people in the palace away, Xiao Pengju sent people through the broken gate of Changchun Courtyard to check what was going on, while waiting for Xiao Da's reply. After a while, his people came out of Changchun Courtyard, followed by more than a dozen servants and maids who were over forty years old.
Xiao Peng looked at these people and knew that the plan of the Rin County Mansion and his own might be in vain for the time being. Because these remaining servants and maids of Changchun Courtyard turned out to be the people originally arranged by the Xiao family, and none of them were Zong Zhengke's people at all. These people don't have martial arts cultivation.
However, who can be sure that there are no other slaves in Changchun Courtyard who hide outside and hurt people with arrows after leaving? If you want to plant dirt and frame, you can always find a way. Xiao Pengju sent someone to take care of these people for the time being, planning to wait for Zong Zhengke to come back.
At this time, Xiao Da came back. Seeing that he was the only one panting and beating the horse, Xiao Peng's good mood immediately became gloomy. Xiao Hongluan refused to turn back, what were she and Murong Yue going to do? Do you want to be bad for your parents?
Xiao Pengju paced in place, quickly made up his mind, and said coldly: "The archdeacons enjoy high positions and high fortunes, but there is no reason to avoid things when they see them. They want to avoid this limelight, and it depends on whether Ben Shao agrees. Come, invite all the deacons and archdeacons to me! ”
Xiao Da and the other four henchmen were also very happy to see that Xiao Pengju had finally made up his mind and wanted to take advantage of this sudden incident to shock and subdue people's hearts. The higher the status of the masters they serve in the family, the higher the status of these people, and the more family resources they can enjoy.
The crowd went their separate ways. Xiao Peng glanced at the quiet Changchun Courtyard, gritted his teeth and sneered twice, and waved away. He thought to himself, cousin Ke, I hope you don't do anything that makes everyone embarrassed!
However, it was said that Xiao Hongluan and Murong Yue led a total of more than 600 elite warriors to Changshan Mountain overnight. The city gate was naturally opened, and just as he was about to leave the city, Xiao Hongluan learned a bad news.
King Rin was poisoned by a stab, and his life was on the line!
Staring at Xiao Da deadly, at this moment, Xiao Hongluan really wanted to pull out his spear and stab Xiao Da in the heart with one shot. For a moment, she wondered if Xiao Pengju was making trouble about King Rinjun's assassination. The purpose was naturally to drag her feet and prevent her from going to Changshan Mountain.
But Xiao Hongluan knew that Xiao Pengju was not so bold. However, the fourth young master Pei, who was almost succeeded by King Rinjun, is very suspicious.
This Pei Si, who is as handsome as a celestial jade, is not like his appearance, he is an elegant and harmless humble gentleman. Although he did not suffer real humiliation, that unsuccessful conspiracy was enough to make him hate King Rin and even her Xiao Hongluan! (To be continued.) )
