Chapter 107: Who Did It
"Fight!"
What Yang Xu didn't expect was that the two waves of black-clothed people were all fearless of death, seeing that there was no hope of getting out, in a roar, they waved the sword in their hands and rushed towards those elite soldiers.
Looking at their appearance, it seems that they only want to die.
"Put!"
The commander of the Forbidden Army had a cold face and spat out the word sharply.
Suddenly, the arrow feathers broke through the air and shot like rain, and the two waves of black-clothed people were shot into hedgehogs, and they fell to the ground one by one.
"Big brother, you have a few to spare! Now that everyone is dead, it is even more difficult to find out who is behind the scenes! ”
Yang Xu walked up to the commander of the forbidden army and said with a wry smile.
Since the other party was from the Qin Palace, Yang Xu was not worried about posing a threat to himself, and the whole person was relaxed.
Despite this, Yang Dazhi still followed him closely and was highly vigilant.
The commander of the forbidden army glanced at Yang Xu, did not speak, walked up to several black-clothed people who were shot, bent down and touched their waists, and there were a few more waist cards in his hands.
Yang Xu walked over and looked at the waist cards by the moonlight, only to see the words "King of Jin" and "East Palace" written on them, and his heart couldn't help but move.
The matter involved the King of Jin and the prince of the East Palace, and the commander of the forbidden army did not dare to slack off, so his subordinates quickly dealt with the scene, and then bowed his hands to Yang Xu and Su Gui, collected his troops and left.
The scene quickly fell silent, and if it weren't for some smell of blood in the air, no one would have thought that there was a short but fierce battle here just now.
Unexpectedly, King Jin and the Prince of the East Palace were involved. It's getting more and more interesting......"
Yang Xu looked at the direction in which the forbidden army had left, then looked at the person who was tied to the stake, and said to himself.
Yang Hongyu heard Yang Xu's self-talk, and her body shook slightly.
If it is really as Yang Xu said, with the participation of King Jin and Donggong in this matter, it will be much more complicated, and it will not be a good thing for Yang's restaurant and Yang Xu.
Yang Hongyu even wanted to persuade Yang Xu that the capital was so dangerous, it was better to give up the Yang family restaurant here and return to Jinyang City or Yangjia Village.
Anyway, the money they are currently earning, as long as they don't spend it lavishly, is enough to live a carefree life for a lifetime.
However, looking at Yang Xu's frowning and thinking look, Yang Hongyu didn't say these words after all, but said with a worried face: "What should we do next?" ”
Yang Xu said: "Wait and see. ”
He turned his head sideways and asked Su Gui: "Shopkeeper Su, did you say that this matter was done by King Jin or the East Palace?" ”
Su Gui smiled coldly: "Those people in black are obviously dead soldiers. And how could a dead soldier kill someone with a waist card that could easily reveal his identity? So what they do is nothing more than trying to set up a blame. ”
Yang Xu asked: "But these men in black are obviously not accomplices, and the waist cards they wear are not the same, how can this be explained?" ”
Su Gui sneered: "It's very simple, both groups of people have the intention of planting blame, and it happened that they appeared at the same time, so this kind of scene will appear...... Oh, that's self-defeating. ”
Yang Xu said: "So to assassinate one, it's either the prince or the king of Jin?" ”
Su Gui said: "Even if they are not directly involved, they are absolutely inseparable. ”
Yang Xu patted Su Gui's shoulder and said with a smile: "King Qin is a smart person, in this matter, he can make a good fuss." ”
Su Gui also smiled: "After this incident, those who want to deal with Mr. Yang should be temporarily stinging and no longer acting rashly." Therefore, there should be no problem with Mr. Yang's personal safety for a period of time in the future. ”
Yang Xu sighed: "It's hard to say...... It's hard to say! In fact, the person who really wants to put me to death is not in this imperial capital, but in Jinyang City! ”
He looked at the north, thinking that the Zhou family, who was thousands of miles away in Jinyang City, must also have eyes and ears to keep an eye on their news in the imperial capital, and if they found the right time, they would definitely take a decisive move and put the people of Yangjiazhai, including himself, to death.
Because Yang Xu knew that if he was the Zhou family, he would definitely not be willing to be controlled by others, and would do everything he could to get out of control.
For Yang Jiazhai, controlling the Zhou family can certainly use the Zhou family to obtain a lot of benefits and benefits, but the Zhou family is also a time bomb, maybe it will suddenly explode at any time and hurt themselves.
Now that the Yang family restaurant has gained a firm foothold in the imperial capital, and has also established a good relationship with the Qin Palace, it no longer needs the Zhou family to provide shelter, so Yang Xu feels that he can give up the Zhou family.
Of course, giving up is not the same as letting go, the Zhou family colluded with the Hu people and threatened the safety of Jinyang City, and such national traitors must be eliminated.
It's just that how to wipe out the Zhou family without startling the snake needs to be considered in the long run.
"Su Gui, I want to see Su Changshi, and I have something important to tell you. It is a matter of the safety of Jinyang City, an important border town, and you can arrange it as soon as possible. ”
Yang Xu Zhengse said.
Seeing Yang Xu's serious expression, Su Gui immediately nodded.
※※※
Two days later, Emperor Qinglong suddenly issued an edict to applaud the crown prince and the king of Jin, ordering them to be grounded for a month to reflect on themselves.
When the news came out, the Zhao court was shaken.
This news, in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, revealed two key messages.
First, the crown prince and the king of Jin have recently done something that is not virtuous, which made Emperor Qinglong feel very angry.
The second is that Emperor Qinglong's will only applied for the crown prince and the king of Jin, but there was no king of Qin, which shows that Emperor Qinglong was very satisfied with the king of Qin.
The people who have lived in the officialdom for a long time are all human spirits, and they sensed some changes in the direction of the wind from this news, so there were many more courtiers who secretly contacted the king of Qin and expressed their loyalty to the king of Qin.
“…… On the side of the prince of the East Palace, it is said that he lost his temper and executed two gossiping servants...... King Jin didn't have any abnormal reaction, he honestly stayed in the palace, saying that he was self-cultivation and self-cultivation......"
On the evening of this day, in the secret room of King Qin's Mansion, Changshi Su Cheng was reporting to Zhao Bang, King of Qin, the news he had collected in recent days.
"My two elder brothers, the eldest brother has a bit of a short temper and can't hide anything in his heart; The second brother is moody and very forbearing...... And what I'm afraid of is only this second brother. However, after this incident, no matter the eldest brother and the second brother, they should be much more honest, which is beneficial to us. It's just that we must not get carried away, and we must do our part with peace of mind......"
After listening to Su Cheng's words, King Qin did not have the slightest arrogance on his face.
Su Cheng saw it, nodded secretly, thinking that as King Qin grew older, his performance became more and more cold and calm, although King Qin was not a prince, he already had the posture of an emperor, and it was really difficult to say who this throne would belong to in the future.
