Jiang Li was reluctant to mention the assassin, and Liu Qin didn't ask again, but he decided in his heart that Jiang Li must know something. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When I went back to my room, I thought about it from front to back, but I didn't have a clue who it would be. Liangzhou, it can't be sent by the Western Xia Kingdom, right? It's not right, if it is a spy in Western Xia, if he can't assassinate the emperor, it is better to continue to lurk.

The Three Princes? The Five Princes? No, it's not to the point of killing your father when you meet each other.

So who is it?

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I had to throw it away.

said that Shu Jiaqi's side was originally at a loss, but since Jiang Li provided a clue, he followed this line and visited openly and secretly for a while, but he also had a little eyebrows.

On this day, in the imperial study, the emperor summoned Shu Jiaqi alone to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

"Your Majesty, according to the clues that Weichen has found these days, this assassination is estimated to be related to the remnants of King Cheng."

"Become a king?" The Emperor's eyelids jumped, and he poked half of his body out of the dragon chair.

"When King Cheng was defeated, he retreated to his territory of Liangzhou, and the emperor sent the inner guards to chase and kill Liangzhou, take the head of King Cheng, and eradicate his comrades, but at that time, King Cheng's third son Liu Bingming was not among them, and there has been no news of Liu Bingming since then, and the assassins this time are all foreigners, with a Liangzhou accent, it should be a Liangzhou person."

"Based on this, can you conclude that it is the remnants of the king?"

"Naturally, that's not all, Weichen found out the identity of one of the assassins."

"Who?"

"The southwest thief of the year Yan Nanfei."

"Yan Nanfei?" The Emperor sensed that the name was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it before.

"Yan Nanfei was a famous thief in the southwest of the year, legend has it that there is nothing he can't steal, and later killed the whole family of a local wealthy businessman because of a grudge, more than 100 people were not spared, and after being arrested with a reward, he was escorted to the criminal department for trial, and finally sentenced to death."

What do you mean? The condemned man is resurrected again?

The emperor didn't ask again, but looked at Shu Jiaqi with faint eyes.

Even though Shu Jiaqi was extremely bearable, he was stared at by the emperor's unclear dark eyes, and his scalp was a little numb, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, Yan Nanfei was sentenced to death back then, but he was rescued by someone impersonating. As for the person who saved him, does Your Majesty remember that there was a staff member surnamed Yan by King Cheng's side back then? ”

"You mean, Yan Nanfei is the descendant of the staff surnamed Yan?"

Although Weichen has no direct evidence, it is said that the staff surnamed Yan is a strange person, with six fingers on his feet, and every generation of the Yan family has this characteristic, Weichen has personally checked it, and Yan Nanfei's feet are six fingers, combined with his Liangzhou clan, it should be concluded that he is the descendant of the surname Yan. If he is a descendant of the surname Yan, it is not difficult to guess that his rescue and this assassination are related to King Cheng. ”

The emperor leaned back in the dragon chair and did not speak, as if in thought.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that although this matter cannot be concluded to be the fault of King Cheng, it is better to prevent trouble before it happens, if you send someone to Liangzhou to investigate thoroughly, if there is really King Cheng's remnants, it is better to eradicate it as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Shu Jiaqi bowed down and begged, "Weichen is willing to go and share your Majesty's worries." ”

"Don't worry, we'll discuss this matter again." The emperor waved his hand, his face gloomy, "You just said that Yan Nanfei was impostored, what's the matter?" ”

"This ......" Shu Jiaqi hesitated, the Shu family and the Cao family were in different camps, and he didn't know if he was suspected of attacking political opponents.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty, there are many death row prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department, and it is said that these prisoners will never see the light of day again, but in fact, as long as there is enough silver, they can buy back their lives."

"What?" The emperor was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that under his nose, these people would dare to ignore the laws of the court to such an extent, from shock to anger, and slapped his palm on the big desk in front of him, "Bastard, who gave them the guts?" ”

Shu Jiaqi didn't dare to answer.

"What a Cao Pei, what a Cao family, hum! Come. ”

"What does Your Majesty command?" The personal officer trotted in from outside the door.

The emperor wanted to instruct him to send someone to escort Cao Pei into the palace, but after thinking about it, he waved his hand again, "It's okay, let's go out." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The internal officer cautiously retreated to the door.

"Jiaqi, this matter of the Criminal Department will be handed over to you, you must find out and find out for me." seemed to see Shu Jiaqi's concern, picked up a pen and wrote a piece of imperial decree, and handed it to him, "If anyone dares to stop it, take it down together, remember, what I want to see is evidence." ”

"Yes, We're in charge." Shu Jiaqi took the imperial decree with both hands and took the order.

Seeing Shu Jiaqi's background disappear at the door, the emperor withdrew his obscure eyes, and his heart was annoyed and disappointed, with indescribable emotions.

Thinking of King Cheng, he was still young at that time, but he still remembered the appearance of the former emperor's brother, his own uncle, who seemed to be a person who looked kind and indisputable, but who knew that soon, King Cheng wanted to collude with the Western Xia to seek power and usurp the throne.

The emperor had no brothers, so no one fought with him for the throne, and it was not until his own son, like the previous emperor and the king, fought endlessly for the greatest power in the world, that he finally felt the cruelty of the royal family.

Fighting each other, he can understand, after all, there is only one throne, and everyone wants to sit on it, but if he wants to be like a king, betraying the country for glory, he will never agree, or if anyone wants to borrow the hand of the king and be unfavorable to himself, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Hum!

What about even his own son?

didn't mention what the emperor had in mind, but said that in Chaoyang Palace, Liu Ji, who stayed in the palace to recuperate, was taken over by Queen Jin Yafu and took care of him personally.

Watching Liu Qi drink a bowl of ginseng tea, Jin Yafu nodded with satisfaction.

"Queen Mother, my father sent Shu Jiaqi to investigate the assassination thoroughly, I don't know how the investigation went?"

Jin Yafu waved her hand to the back, and after everyone in the palace retreated, she said: "There should be some eyebrows, Qi'er should take care of his injuries, don't worry about this." ”

"The Queen Mother." Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Please tell the queen mother the truth, does this matter really have nothing to do with my Jin family?" ”

Jin Yafu subconsciously looked around, and then asked with a strong smile: "Why did you say this?" ”

"Mother, I'm not a fool." Liu Qi lowered his head, "That assassin could have taken my life that day, but he deliberately deviated the tip of the sword by a few inches, except that it was sent by my ancestor, I really can't think of anyone else who would do this to me." ”

"Qi'er, now that you have seen it, don't ask again, you just need to know that everything that the queen mother and your grandfather did was for you, think about it, if it weren't for this, you would still be disgusted by your father, how could you have such care and love today."

"......"

"Don't say it again, you have to rot in your stomach about this matter, when you don't know anything, in short, everything has your mother and grandfather, you just need to be obedient." (To be continued.) )
