Chapter 178: Assassin
Xie Zhizai agreed to build the treasure ship, but did not report the matter to Emperor Hongzhi at the first time.
Instead, he sent Xu Jing to Tianjin and began to build it secretly.
Although Emperor Hongzhi trusted Xie Zhi, as soon as this matter came out, there were probably very few people in the whole court who approved of it.
Emperor Hongzhi is also a person close to Wenchen, and there are too many people who oppose it, and Xie Zhi's plan will definitely be strangled in the cradle.
Therefore, it can only be carried out in secret first, and when it is halfway through, Emperor Hongzhi is reluctant to interrupt it.
It is easy to talk if there is silver, Xu Jing took the silver to the Tianjin Guardhouse, and the shipbuilding was immediately implemented in the port of Tianjin.
Tianjin Wei relies on water to eat, and in winter, it freezes, and there is no way to eat, and many people sit at home to eat
It will be much easier to recruit people in shipbuilding, and the most important thing is to give more money than when they are working in the peak season.
The only difference is that if you want to exceed your usual income in a month, you have to pay 5 cents.
The people who came to work here had no idea that they would one day be able to earn a lot of money a month, so they didn't pay attention to this rule.
When Xu Jing was in full swing with a group of people, Xie Zhi spent another Spring Festival with Wang Shouren and others in Yazhong.
Counting the time, he has been here for three years.
In the past three years, he has also done a lot of things, and it is not a shame for the traverser.
In the past three years, except for his parents and friends who don't know that time and space, he is still quite satisfied with other places.
Tang Yin raised his glass and said: "Zhixian, thank you for this wine today, if it weren't for you, how could you do such a meaningful thing." β
Tang Yin is in charge of the affairs of Yun Middle School, which seems simple, but it is very cumbersome.
Xie Zhi picked up the wine glass and thanked Tang Yin, and said with a smile: "Thank you a lot for your help, if it weren't for you, how could you do these things." β
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Shouren returned to Yunzhongwei.
Zhu Houzhao drank a little too much, so he stayed in the county office.
If he was in the palace, Zhu Houzhao couldn't drink so much.
Zhu Houzhao also has to thank Xie Zhi, if it weren't for Xie Zhi, how could he have been so comfortable.
Zhu Houzhao drank a lot of wine, and Xie Zhi also drank a lot.
After getting down from the wine table, he went back to his room and slept.
The stove in the house was warm, just in time for a good night's sleep.
In the middle of the night, except for a few officials on duty, the rest of the entire county government fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, several people dressed in black suddenly crossed over from the eaves.
These people are quite agile, and the eaves of a few feet high are also unusually easy to leap over.
After these people entered the county office, they drove straight to the back office.
In the rows of rooms in the back office, I found Zhu Houzhao's room directly.
Just approached Zhu Houzhao's room, put on a piece of clothing, and Gu Dayong, who came out of the side room, took a clear look.
Gu Da has no other skills, how can he shout people's skills, he is called the first, and absolutely no one dares to call the second.
"Someone, catch the assassin..."
"Your Highness, get up quickly, there are assassins..."
However, Gu Da shouted fast with him, but the speed at which the people who rushed to help was not so fast.
Just as he was shouting and shouting, one of the men in black ran directly towards him.
Gu Dayong is still quick-eyed, and when he saw this situation, he spread his feet and ran, shouting as he ran: "Help... Help..."
He shouted so loudly that even a dead pig had to be woken up by him.
When Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao opened the door and came out, a blade with a cold light in the hand of an assassin slashed directly at Zhu Houzhao's head.
Zhu Houzhao's guy is quite quick-eyed.
With a swipe, the door was closed, and the knife fell directly to the door frame.
At this critical juncture, Xie Zhi didn't bother to look for weapons again, and walked towards the black-clothed people with his bare hands.
Zhu Houzhao is his big backer, and he has to ensure the safety of this backer.
When Xie Zhi had just fought with him for a few rounds, the official had already arrived.
After all, there were many people on Xie Zhi's side, and the few black-clothed people no longer fell in love with the war when they saw the officials coming, so they directly crossed the eaves and jumped outside.
"I'm stunned, I'm going to chase it... Dare to assassinate the prince and kill him, no, he can't kill him, leaving a living mouth to find the person behind the scenes is the key... Go for it..."
After ordering the men and horses to dispatch, Zhu Houzhao pulled Xie Zhi's wrist and asked, "Are you injured?" β
Zhu Houzhao mentioned it, Xie Zhicai felt some pain in his wrist, tried it, the wound was not very deep, and said, "It's okay, it's okay... Your Highness is not hurt, is it..."
"Your Highnessβ" A humming voice sounded from the side.
Zhu Houzhao blurted out and said, "Dog thing..."
Only then did he scold, turned his head and saw the mottled blood stains on Gu Dayong's body, the person who was scolded for being a dog was injured because of him, if it weren't for this dog thing, he would have died, Zhu Houzhao immediately relented, walked over quickly, and asked, "What's the matter?" Are you okay? β
Gu Dayong wanted this effect, and after Zhu Houzhao asked out loud, he immediately burst into tears and said: "The slave is willing to go to the soup for His Highness..."
Xie Zhidu was almost a little suspicious, the assassin just now was brought by Gu Dayong, and he specialized in bitter tricks.
Is it necessary?
Xie Zhi glanced at Gu Dayong, and instructed He Liang on the side: "Go find a Lang Zhong..."
After sending Gu Dayong back to the room with the support of several officials, Lang Zhong soon served him herbs.
Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao sat down in the room.
Although Zhu Houzhao is safe and sound now, it does not mean that this assassin will not come again in the future, and whoever made the poison must find some results.
"Xie Wu, these people are you here for this palace, and this palace has not done anything, who has to assassinate this palace?"
is so clear about a truth, Zhu Houzhao can't figure it out.
Does the reason for assassinating him have to be because he did something bad?
Xie Zhi smiled slightly, and replied: "It's hard to say, you can't make a conclusion until you have the result, but the minister feels that the person who assassinated His Highness is more than the person who has interests with it." β
Zhu Houzhao thought for a long time and asked, "Could it be that the things that this palace did in the clouds involved the interests of some people, so they..."
Zhu Houzhao should he be so stupid.
Of course, it is possible for those who shake their interests, but although the goal in the cloud at this time is big, it has not shaken the interests of any one.
Besides, if that's the reason, he's supposed to be the one who assassinated him.
Xie Zhi shook his head and said, "This is not very likely. β
After a long time, Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi finally walked to the same channel, and said: "You mean those vassal kings, if there are three longs and two shorts in this palace, they may inherit the position of their father and become the next emperor." β
Xie Zhi is noncommittal, this is what you said, but it has nothing to do with yourself.
Xie Zhi didn't speak, Zhu Hou got up in a hurry and said: "No, this palace has to write an excerpt with Your Majesty, and talk about this matter well, who has such courage, it must be investigated." β
Needless to say, this matter must be reported to Emperor Hongzhi.
How to deal with it depends on the meaning of Emperor Hongzhi.
Not to mention, Xie Zhi has no ability to find out who is behind it, even if Xie Zhi can find out, how to deal with it has to be decided by Emperor Hongzhi.
Xie Zhi replied: "I have to report to Your Majesty, and the minister has to write an excerpt."
Zhu Houzhao snorted angrily and scolded: "It's a big New Year, this palace finally came out for the New Year, and there are not so many constraints, but this incident happened again, don't let this palace know who did this thing behind it." β
Zhu Houzhao is also telling the truth, there are many New Year's etiquettes in the palace, and any mistake may be impeached by the official.
Like here, you can drink as much as you want, sleep as much as you want, but there is nothing more free than this.
When Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao were writing the excerpts, Li Jia also came back with the officials chasing the assassin, and replied with a disappointed face: "Zhixian, when the subordinates chased them out, there was no one left, and the subordinates had already ordered the whole city to search for them. β
Xie Zhi responded and said, "It is estimated that it is difficult to find, they are ordinary people when they change their clothes, how can they be so easy to find... Put fewer people outside, and put more people around Your Highness..."
