Chapter 141: Qin Qiong's first appearance

As we all know, Jiangjia Village is Zongxiu's territory and the printing house of "Chang'an Weekly". Dong Xuancheng is not afraid, but they are afraid of being small.

After all, the crown prince and the king of Wei were assassinated at the same time, although it may be related to Zong Xiu, but there is no direct evidence. If it is finally found out that it has nothing to do with Zong Xiu, and he disturbs the business of Tianxia Sect, it will be a big trouble.

Shinong industry and commerce, strict class. Zong Xiu is the [Tianxia Sect], and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, faintly has the meaning of the head of Shilin, once they are remembered by Shilin, can their life be better?

Dong Xuancheng gritted his teeth, and finally reason prevailed: "Jiangjia Village will let it go first, anyway, Zongxiu is in our hands." ”

"Yes."

The two bad captains looked happy and took the promise to leave.

Not long after the two left, another bad person came to report: "Dashuai, the British Duke, Hu Guogong, and Lu Guogong have arrived, saying that they have come to monitor the progress of the case by His Majesty's holy order." ”

"Even Grandpa Hu is here?"

Dong Xuancheng was stunned for a moment, and walked out of the painting boat quickly.

As soon as he arrived outside, he saw Li Shiji, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yanjin leading hundreds of Shenwu troops standing on the shore, all of them with unkind eyebrows and solemn faces, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Bad handsome Dong Xuancheng, I have seen Marshal Li, General Qin, and Old Man Cheng. ”

"No courtesy."

Li Shiji waved his hand, and after Dong Xuancheng got up, he said, "Have you found anything?" ”

"Back to Marshal Li's words, the lower officials are doing their best to investigate."

Dong Xuancheng reported truthfully.

"Ahem......"

Qin Qiong coughed lightly twice, he was sick earlier because of the injuries he had suffered from years of battle, and he had been recuperating in the mansion for two years, if it wasn't for the assassination of the prince today, he would not have come.

When he reached middle age, Qin Qiong saw a lot, but he couldn't let go of his loyalty to Li Tang.

"Dong Shuai, didn't you find any clues?" Qin Qiong, who had gray temples, asked sickly while covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

Dong Xuancheng nodded slowly.

Cheng Biting Jin was distressed, and took off the fur on his body and draped it on Qin Qiong: "Second Brother Qin, I told you about the cold wind by the river and let you rest at home, but you just didn't listen." It's good now, it's coughing again. ”

Qin Qiong sighed: "Your Majesty has a will, can I not come?" And Qingque'er also grew up with us, he died for no reason, don't you feel distressed? ”

——————

"Hey......" Cheng bit Jin sighed faintly, suddenly his eyes widened, and he shouted to Dong Xuancheng: "Dong Xuancheng, since you haven't found anything, why is my brother imprisoned in the secret prison of bad people?" ”

"Duke Lu, the lower officials are also at the behest of His Majesty." Dong Xuancheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Honglu Siqing is also one of the people at the banquet, and now all the people on the boat are dead, but he is unharmed, and the lower officials have every reason to suspect that he is related to the assassins." ”

"You fart!" Cheng bit Jin and scolded: "If my virtuous brother is related to assassins, will he still wait for you to arrest him at home?" Let me ask you, have you tortured my virtuous brother? ”

"Zhijie!" Li Shiji glared at Cheng Yanjin: "Since it is Your Majesty's intention, you are in charge?" ”

Cheng Yanjin said reluctantly: "What? It's not once or twice that my virtuous brother has been wronged, and besides, he has no grievances with Qingque'er, and he has nothing to do to assassinate Qingque'er? ”

Cheng Biting Jin said, he also bent down to pull Dong Xuancheng's clothes, and scolded: "You kid, don't think that I don't know what kind of ghost you are fighting, if you let me know that you dare to torture my virtuous brother in private, Lao Tzu will directly lead the troops to destroy you." ”

Dong Xuancheng was originally a dwarf, but he was only five feet, he was grabbed by Cheng Biting Jin, his legs kept struggling off the ground, and his eyes were burning with anger: "Gong Lu, I respect you for being a hero, and I have always endured it." But you are so presumptuous in front of Ben Shuai's subordinates, don't you take me too seriously? ”

"Haha, what, do you still want to do it with me?" Cheng bit Jin and took a 'bah' bite: "As for your bad deeds in the early years, even if Lao Tzu kills you, Your Majesty will blame you for two sentences at most." ”

Cheng gritted his teeth and said, and the Shenwu Army brought behind him was even more ready to move.

He really has the money.

Not to mention that Cheng Yanjin has three rescues for Li Shimin, just because the Shenwu Army was built by him, there is really no one in Chang'an City who he dare not move.

Seeing that things were getting more and more stiff, Qin Qiong hurriedly grabbed Cheng Biting Jin's arm: "Biting Jin, what are you doing." We are investigating the Assassins at the behest of His Majesty, why didn't the Assassins find them, and our own people started a disturbance first? Quickly put down Dong Shuai, don't hurt the harmony. ”

Li Shijifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhijiexiu wants to mess around, if Zong Xiu is really related to assassins, he should die." But if he had nothing to do with the assassins, Ben Shuai believed that Dong Shuai would not dare to touch him. ”

"Hmph, it's best not to let me know that you have privately tortured my brother, if my brother is injured, don't want your head."

Cheng Yanjin snorted and threw Dong Xuancheng away, the latter was short of breath, and stared at Cheng Yanjin tightly with a pair of moves.

Cheng Yanjin took a look at it and couldn't help but say angrily: "What, are you not convinced?" ”

"Don't dare! Lu Gong is majestic, and Ben Shuai does not dare to disagree. The three grandfathers of the country, Ben Shuai has to check the corpse again, if you don't bother, you can wait here. ”

After speaking, Dong Xuancheng returned to the painting boat without looking back.

Li Shiji looked at Dong Xuancheng's departing back, and said angrily: "You too, why should you provoke him?" This guy is a mad dog, and he will obey no one except His Majesty's orders. You treated him like this in front of his subordinates, didn't you make trouble for Zong Xiu? ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled: "What are you afraid of, I don't believe that he dared to touch Zongxiu without evidence." Damn, I just don't like him. There is no evidence, and if you say that you will arrest someone, you will arrest someone. ”

"You......" Qin Qiong shook her head, and was about to speak, when she suddenly coughed violently again.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly held on, and shouted at the same time: "Come on, come on, come on, drive the carriage here." ”

When Qin Qiong entered the carriage to avoid the wind, Li Shiji and Cheng Yanjin stood by the river, looking at the unscrupulous people who were busy, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Yanjin, do you think this case can be related to Zong Xiu?" ”

"I ......"

Cheng Biting Jin was about to pat his chest and say: It has absolutely nothing to do with my brother, but he suddenly thought of the destruction of the squire in Chang'an County, and hesitated.

"Hey......"

Li Shiji sighed and said no more.

From the moment the imperial power was born, it became a habit for some people to train spies in private. The imperial court needs spies, and dignitaries in important positions also need eyes and ears. This is Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who doesn't have a way to collect news?

Cheng Yanjin thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said: "I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Zong Xiu. ”

"Why?" Li Shiji asked lightly.

"One, he didn't have to. Second, he doesn't have the ability either! Cheng Yanjin calmly looked at the endless Qujiang River, and said firmly: "Therefore, I believe that he will not assassinate the prince unless he has a mad disease." ”
