Chapter 144: About the Qing Family

Emperor Yonghe was assassinated, martial law was imposed in the capital, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the Jinyi Guard, and the Jingwei commanded the envoys, all of them went out to search everywhere, as long as they were in the capital, they would be interrogated, and the inns and private houses did not dare to let the people of the Western Regions live, especially the people of the Western Regions, and the people were panicked for a while.

"I don't know when the turmoil here will end, the slaves and maids are on the street today, and there are fewer people on the street, where is it like the New Year." Qing Dai pouted and sighed.

"The assassination of the emperor is naturally a major event, and if you can't find an assassin for a day, you won't be able to live in peace for a day." Hu Yi sat in front of the window, looking at the early spring scenery outside the window, and his thoughts were a little wandering for a while.

"It's been five or six days, and I haven't stopped saying that I've found the assassins, so it can be seen that those assassins are hiding deeply! It's okay for people like us, no one dares to come to search, but pity those people, they will be searched every once in a while, things will be turned into a mess, not to mention, sometimes they will be led away by the hand, and they have to worry about being involved with the assassins, and they can't live in fear. "Qing Dai, you = hand on cheek, tone is a little low.

"I just hope to find the assassin quickly, otherwise the people will not be able to live a good life." Hu Yi came back to his senses and answered.

Qingdai also saw that Hu Yiyi was a little absent-minded, so she didn't speak again.

And Hu Yi looked out the window in a daze, just thinking, how is the matter going on Ye Zhen's side, can things be smoothly pushed to Ye Wuxian's head, what is the origin of those people in the Western Regions?

"I've already checked, and among the people from the Western Regions who have recently entered the city, there are no particularly suspicious ones." Hu Zijue has also been investigating this matter recently, mainly in combination with the matter of the Hu family last time.

"Since these people want to assassinate, they naturally won't go through this normal process, so the estimates we can find are all innocent." Hu Yi was not surprised by this result.

"Then this matter is troublesome," Hu Zijue sighed, and asked Wei Jin again: "What progress has you made in Dali Temple?" ”

Originally, Wei Jin should have gone to the Ministry of Officials to take office after the New Year, but because Emperor Yonghe was suddenly assassinated, and now the whole court is busy with this matter, so any promotion is naturally delayed, so Wei Jin is still in Dali Temple.

"I've been checking day and night, but this group of people is obviously prepared, and this errand is difficult to do." Wei Jin shook his head.

If this matter is not handled well in Dali Temple and the group of assassins cannot be found as soon as possible, I am afraid that Wei Jin's promotion will turn into a bubble, and it is precisely because of this that Hu Yiyi called Wei Jin over.

"This group of people from the Western Regions is very familiar with the capital, either they have come to the capital a long time ago, or, they have an internal presence in the capital, if it is the former, then you need to check the people from the Western Regions who have lived in the capital for more than half a year, this is not easy to check, if it is the latter, then I am afraid you need to check the people in the entire capital, it is more difficult......" Hu Yiyi habitually clasped his hand on the table, and his index finger tapped again and again.

Wei Jin glanced at the movements on Hu Yi's hand, and his eyes were slightly obscure, but after only lowering his eyes, Wei Jin returned to normal again, and said to Hu Yi: "Look at Miss Hu like this, it doesn't look like she has no idea, then don't sell it, I don't have time to guess today." ”

"Yo, it seems that everyone knows that you like to make people guess and guess." Hu Zijue laughed.

Hu Yiyi was a little embarrassed and muttered: "How can I have it!" ”

"Okay, let's talk about it, you girl has always had a lot of ideas." Hu Zijue glanced at Hu Yi with a smile, and his tone was doting.

"Second brother! My ideas are obviously good ideas, but there have always been many ghost ideas! Hu Yiyi was dissatisfied with Hu Zijue's statement and snorted lightly.

Wei Jin watched the brother and sister bickering on the side, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth and a slight warmth in his eyes.

"I heard that there are many people who want to go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns on the night of the Emperor's Shangyuan Festival, but no one knows whether the emperor will go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, only ......" Hu Yi hooked the corners of his mouth, "Only the imperial concubine knows." ”

"What are you going to ......" Wei Jin immediately understood what Hu Yiyi meant, which was also expected by him, and there was only one major event recently, such as the assassination of Emperor Yonghe, so Hu Yiyi called him over, it must be because of this matter.

"The imperial concubine wanted to go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, but she was suffering from her deep harem, so she instigated the emperor to take her out of the palace, which led to the assassination of the emperor, but you can wait for the emperor to get better and then let the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate do it." Hu Yi kept talking about his plans in vain, and his tone was a little careless, but between these three words, a plan had already been decided.

"What about the mastermind behind the assassination of the emperor?" Wei Jin didn't express his opinion on this, since he asked the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to do it, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to ask about it.

"The imperial concubine is the first person who knows that the emperor is going to leave the palace, who is the second? Is it those elders, or is it ...... King Zhou. Hu Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Jin and Hu Zijue.

Hu Zijue and Wei Jin are both smart people, how could they not know Hu Yiyi's plans, but Wei Jin frowned and said: "If this matter is framed to King Zhou, wouldn't the real mastermind behind the scenes get away with it?" ”

"Planting? No," Hu Yiyi raised his eyebrows, "Now that the crown prince has been abolished and confined to another courtyard, King Zhou is not a prince is better than a prince, if the emperor is assassinated, who will benefit?" In this way, if it is not King Zhou, who else can it be? ”

"But......" Wei Jin is a persistent person, especially in the right and wrong of some things, he is very serious, he can understand that Hu Yiyi wants to frame King Zhou, but he can't let the real murderer escape.

"Ah Jin, King Zhou and Ah Qi have a grudge against their father." Hu Zijue knew what Wei Jin wanted to say, so he patted Wei Jin on the shoulder and planned Wei Jin's words.

When Wei Jin heard this, he was silent.

Hu Yiyi didn't expect Hu Zijue to say this, and the atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden, Hu Yiyi didn't want to talk about the matter so heavily, so he also smiled and said: "I will naturally investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, after all, that group of people from the Western Regions are also hostile to the Hu family, and they have injured so many people, but now the whole capital is panicking, and it is better to close the case earlier." ”

Wei Jin nodded, indicating that he understood what Hu Yiyi meant, but he still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

King Zhou is not a good person, there is no doubt about this, these superiors, in fact, there is nothing good or bad at all, but they are bent on their own selfish desires, and it will not be surprising to do anything.

But no matter what, this matter was not done by King Zhou, he couldn't just push it on King Zhou and leave it alone, this is irresponsible to the people who were victimized that night, and it is also irresponsible to himself, which is contrary to his original intention of being an official.

"Do you believe me?" When Hu Yi saw Wei Jin's expression one by one, he knew that Wei Jin was still a little reluctant, so he laughed and looked at Wei Jin seriously.

Wei Jin looked at Hu Yiyi's bright eyes, like the stars shining in the sky, with a smile on the corner of his mouth between his eyes, he saw his figure through her eyes, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed in front of Hu Yiyi.

"It's not that I don't believe in you, I don't believe in myself." Wei Jin muttered.

"I believe in you." Hu Yi smiled, unabashedly trusting.

Wei Jin smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, Ye Shu walked in, consciously sat next to Hu Yiyi, and said to Wei Jin: "Lord Wei doesn't have to feel sorry, the emperor's assassination is indeed related to King Zhou." ”

"Really?" Wei Jin was skeptical of Ye Zhen's words.

"Seriously!" Ye Zhen was very sure, without the slightest hesitation, and his expression was also disdainful, with a bit of momentum to look at the world: "I don't need to lie to you." ”

Wei Jin was silent.

Hu Zijue watched from the side, and suddenly felt that Wei Jin was a little pitiful, but it was inconvenient for him to comfort Wei Jin here.

I only heard Ye Shu continue: "King Zhou Xinna has a concubine, surnamed Qing, this surname Lord Wei may not be very familiar with, but more than ten years ago, this surname is not much worse than the Hu family. ”

Wei Jin frowned, waiting for Ye Zhen's next words.

Hu Yiyi took over: "The Qing family was punished for corruption, collaborating with the enemy and other crimes in the third year of Yonghe, and now, there are few people in the Qing family, and King Zhou's concubine is one of them. ”

Wei Jin still had some aftertaste: "The Qing family was wronged? ”

Hu Yi nodded, but he was not sure: "After many years, I have not investigated carefully, so I am not completely sure that the Qing family was wronged, but it is not far from ten." ”

"So the concubine of King Zhou was wronged because of his own family, so he colluded with the people of the Western Regions and committed rebellion, intending to assassinate the emperor and avenge his hatred?" Not only Wei Jin, but also Hu Zijue has completely understood.

Ye Zhen let out a soft "um", looked at Hu Zijue and Wei Jin opposite, and said: "King Zhou knows the identity of that concubine, so what is not clear now is whether King Zhou knows and participated in the assassination plan of that concubine." ”

"After the emperor left the palace that day, he notified King Zhou, and it was the Qing family who stayed by King Zhou's side and enjoyed the lanterns with King Zhou that night, Chu Xuan and I also met them on everyone, so whether this matter has anything to do with King Zhou is unknown, but I hope it has something to do with King Zhou." Hu Yi looked at Wei Jin with a sparkling look in his eyes.

Wei Jin didn't dare to look at Hu Yiyi's eyes again, only lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand." ”

Hu Zijue looked at the two people opposite him, felt a little sore, and then looked at Wei Jin, and wanted to sigh again.

Seeing this, Qingren Liu confirmed what Hu Yiyi said before, she did have a grudge against that person, and it seemed that the grudge was not small.

In this way, Qingren Liu trusted Hu Yiyi a little more.

"Do you know what she's up with those people from the Western Regions?" Hu Yiyi was a little puzzled.

Qingren Liu shook his head, saying that he didn't know: "I don't know about this matter, I've only seen her and the two guards around her, speaking of the people from the Western Regions, I think about it, her two guards don't look like they are from the Central Plains, and I haven't seen the people from the Western Regions, but I don't know if they're from the Western Regions." ”

"She obviously looks different from you, but on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, I saw that she looked similar to you, and if I didn't look carefully, I couldn't see any flaws." Although Hu Yiyi figured out the general matter, he still had more doubts.

For example, wasn't Hu Wu burned to death by a fire in the night? How is she still alive again? For another example, how did Hu Wu collude with the people of the Western Regions? How did her face become Qingren Liu's face?

And so on, Hu Yiyi still hasn't figured it out for the time being.

"I really don't know about this, but she said she only had a way, so I didn't ask more." Qingren Liu basically belongs to one question and three don't know.
