Jingshi City is dead again. This was what the whole city was talking about the next day.

I don't know what's wrong, people have been dying in Jingshi City these days, starting with the mysterious death of Wu San, a subordinate of the Cai family a few days ago, and then the foreign son of Chunguangyuan died on the incense bed, and then someone died on Wencheng Street, this time it was two black-clothed assassins. The most critical thing is that the place where it happened this time turned out to be Wencheng Street, which has been abandoned for more than ten years.

No one knows who sent the two people who died in the street, and no one knows why they died this time. It's not their concern either. However, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion became busy overnight.

Tang Youde, who is over half a hundred years old, just dealt with the case of Li Xiao and the Cai family, and then came the case of the dead man in Chunguangyuan. Listening to the reports of his subordinates, he began to suspect that the political enemies in the court were messing with him, and vaguely, he felt that the black gauze hat on his head was unstable.

No, I received an urgent call from His Majesty in the palace early in the morning.

hurriedly put on his official uniform and rushed to the palace, all the way he was thinking, although a lot of people have died these days, but those people have no identity, and they should not attract the attention of His Majesty, could it be because of Wencheng Street?

It's not very like, although the first emperor had a conflict with the one on Wencheng Street, but now His Majesty didn't take it to heart, and even didn't care about Wencheng Street for more than ten years, why did he die there today, so he was so anxious to call him into the palace.

Tang Youde, who has been an official for several years, really can't figure out His Majesty's thoughts today, and he is a little abnormal, until he entered the palace and listened to Xu Sheng, who was waiting for him at the palace gate, to understand.

It was this morning when His Majesty sent someone to Wan'an Temple to inquire about Li Gongzi's situation, he was told by the monks in the temple that Li Gongzi was seriously injured and did not wake up, and found that Li Gongzi's place was the back door of Wan'an Temple, and the back door was connected to Wencheng Street, and then learned that two assassins had died in Wencheng Street.

Tang Youde also wiped his sweat, it turned out that it was because of Li Xiao, no wonder His Majesty was in a hurry to summon him.

Li Xiao was personally found by His Majesty to treat Her Royal Highness the Princess, and now Her Royal Highness is well, but Li Xiao was killed, and he was killed on Wencheng Street, which is one street away from the palace, how can His Majesty not be angry, although he has not seen His Majesty yet, but he can already think of how angry His Majesty is the supreme emperor of Haoguo.

"Jingzhao Mansion Yin Tang is virtuous, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." Tang Youde bowed and walked quickly into the imperial study, kneeling down busily, lying on the ground and not daring to raise his head.

"Let's talk about it." Emperor Hao spoke lightly, without a trace of waves.

Although Emperor Hao's tone was flat, the people around him knew that the seemingly calm Emperor Hao was actually an unstoppable dragon rage behind him.

Of course, Emperor Hao also knows his state at the moment. Originally, he was still in Fengyang Hall with Wan Guifei and the princess, but the eunuch who was sent to inquire about Li Xiao hurriedly came in, saying that Li Xiao was seriously injured and did not wake up.

The two pieces of news converge, and no matter how foolish he is, he can know why Li Xiao was injured.

Suddenly, Emperor Hao was furious, and assassinated the people invited by the royal family near the imperial city and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which was to despise the imperial authority, provoke the imperial power, and constantly challenge the bottom line of the imperial court.

Tang Youde also knew Emperor Hao's mood at this time, so he didn't dare to speak casually, knelt on the ground, pondered for a moment, and said: "The two assassins who died on Wencheng Street, the minister is already hurrying to find out their identities, and there should be news soon." ”

"Smack." Emperor Hao slapped the wooden table hard, causing the others in the hall to shudder. Tang Youde was also trembling and didn't dare to raise his head.

"Go on." Emperor Hao picked up a notebook, looked at it casually, and then threw it aside.

Go on? Emperor Hao just said two words lightly, but Tang Youde knew that this was a dissatisfaction with his ability to do things, an hour and a half had passed since the incident on Wencheng Street, and I believe that this hour and a half was also the time that Emperor Hao gave him to investigate the case, and he didn't get anything useful when he gave time, I am afraid that Tang Youde's career will end like this today.

Tang Youde wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head with an embarrassed face and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs standing in the hall.

Emperor Hao looked left and right, waved his hand, and motioned for the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to retreat, leaving only Tang Youde alone.

Gritting his teeth, Tang Youde sighed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, when I was carrying the corpse today, the minister found the Seven Star Crossbow. ”

"Seven-star crossbow?" Emperor Hao raised his head and looked at Tang Youde, wondering how the seven-star crossbow could appear.

Before Emperor Hao could think about it, Tang Youde continued: "And when he verified the identities of the two, he found that one of them was a rootless person, and there was a long knife beside him, which was suspected to be something from Dongchang. ”

"And the East Factory?" Emperor Hao touched his chin and frowned.

The seven-star crossbow, as well as the long knife of the East Factory, plus a rootless person. What does this mean, could it be that the two people who assassinated Li Xiao were from Dongchang and the procuratorate? But why did they assassinate Li Xiao, the most important thing is that after so many years, when did the two institutions hook up together.

"Why didn't you just say it?" Emperor Hao stood up, holding his hands, condescending.

"After all, it's about the East Factory and the procuratorate, and the minister doesn't dare." Tang Youde said in a trembling voice.

These two institutions are now the most important for Emperor Hao, and the two of them now have a prominent position in Haoguo, so they dare not offend at will, and whether it is Dean Luo of the Procuratorate or Governor Xu of Dongchang, none of them are easy to mess with.

What Tang Youde is worried about, Emperor Hao is also very clear, since he canceled Jinyiwei to set up the procuratorate, although Dongchang's arrogance has decreased a lot, there is still a certain deterrent effect in Haoguo, even if he intends to support the procuratorate, now he can only achieve balance. However, although he didn't know that there was a shadow of the procuratorate and Dongchang in this assassination incident, he knew that the two would not hook up together, not to mention the grievances between the two families, if it weren't for that reason, he wouldn't have reused King Luo Bin.

"Go down, I'll leave this matter to you, and you won't find out anything." Emperor Hao sat down, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Send those two pieces of evidence to the palace." ”

Emperor Hao's tone was very calm, which surprised Tang Youde.

If there is no other reason, this case is estimated to be done by Dongchang and the procuratorate, although I don't know why they want to do it to a son from Suzhou, this Li Xiao has no special actions in Beijing, which is really incomprehensible. But fortunately, His Majesty didn't blame him, just asked him to send the evidence, presumably this matter has nothing to do with him, but he always feels a little sorry for Dean Luo and Xu Changdu, and hopes that those two will not trouble him.

Tang Youde slowly got up from the ground, arched his hands and retreated.

Looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the door and the cool breeze blowing on his face, Tang Youde suddenly felt relaxed, and his already soaked body became comfortable in an instant.

"Xu Sheng! Summoned King Luobin and Xu Youzhen into the palace. In the imperial study, Emperor Hao said loudly.

Xu Sheng, who was standing by the door, listened to it, was busy answering the order, and then turned around and left with a bitter face towards Tang Youde. This whole day, he has not been idle, constantly braving the heavy rain to go out of the palace and enter the palace, so that his old bones are a little unable to support it. But there is no way, after all, he is in the palace, and he can't help himself, but at this moment he wants to go to Dean Luo and Governor Xu, which is the most difficult thing.

If it was possible, Xu Sheng wanted not to contact the two of them for the rest of his life.

Tang Youde also smiled, wiped his sweat for Xu Sheng, who was the same age, then glanced at the cloudy sky, sighed, and left with the little eunuch holding the umbrella.

This Jingshi, I'm afraid it's going to change.

……

Similarly, today's Xu Youzhen is also depressed. Since last night, he has felt uneasy, so he sent Xu Shengliang to take a look, and seeing that Xu Shengliang had not returned for a long time, he thought of sending someone to go again, but Xu Shengliang came back.

Xu Shengliang, who only returned at dawn, did not hesitate, and went directly to Xu Youzhen's room in soaked clothes, and the first thing he said was: "Wencheng Street, there are dead people." ”

Just six words, it made Xu Youzhen excited, more than ten years, Wencheng Street finally came, before he got up to prepare to go to Wencheng Street, Xu Shengliang said again: "They seem to be trying to assassinate a teenager." ”

At this moment, Xu Youzhen was stunned, assassinated the young man, why did he assassinate the young man, why did he assassinate the young man on Wencheng Street, and what was the identity of the young man. This series of questions puzzled him. But when he continued to ask, Xu Shengliang just shook his head, unaware.

"What about Ni Songhan?" Xu Youzhen picked up the teacup and put it down.

"Lord Ni doesn't know." Xu Shengliang replied with his head down.

This is strange, what happened on Wencheng Street Ni Songhan didn't know. Xu Youzhen walked back and forth in the room with her hands. For some reason, he always felt that there was a conspiracy behind this assassination, and he always had an indescribable feeling.

"Do you know the identity of the boy?" Xu Youzhen then asked. Behind this assassination, there should be something with the young man who can't be withdrawn.

"The child doesn't know. But Lord Ni said, there is a seven-star crossbow? Xu Shengliang then replied. Indeed, he didn't know who Li Xiao was and what the seven-star crossbow was.

"Seven-star crossbow?" Xu Youzhen touched her hairless chin and fell into deep thought.

This seven-star crossbow actually appeared, then this matter is estimated to be inseparable from the procuratorate, but the selected location is on Wencheng Street, which is strange, since sixteen years ago, Wencheng Street has been under the monitoring of Dongchang, using the seven-star crossbow to assassinate on Wencheng Street, and Ni Songhan did not notice, this thing must be strange.

"This ......" was just about to speak, when the voice of a cronie came from outside the door.

"Factory Governor, someone has come to the palace."

"What's going on?" Xu Youzhen instantly became uneasy.

"I don't know." The cronie paused for a moment, and then said, "I just said that Your Majesty summoned you, please go to the palace." ”

"Who's that?"

"It's Xu Sheng's father-in-law, but he has already left, saying yes, go to the procuratorate to find King Luo Bin."
