Chapter 91: The Emperor's Assassination
The assassination of the emperor was a major event, so in just one night, the news spread far and wide, and Chu Jing discussed it with the military advisor after getting the news, and then entered the palace.
"This matter is very important, the minister is just a small prince of the Hou Mansion, how can he take on such a big responsibility, please think twice."
Hearing the ins and outs, Mu Changjin immediately thought that this matter must have been dug by Chu Jing for him, otherwise he would not take good credit, but recommended him to investigate this matter thoroughly, there must be a problem.
"Eh, Mu Xiaohou Ye is wrong in this statement, who in Beijing doesn't know, Xiao Hou Ye is resolute in his work, and such an important matter as the assassination of the saint must not be delayed, so it is most appropriate to hand it over to Xiao Hou Ye."
Seeing that Mu Changjin wanted to shirk, Chu Jing hurriedly stepped forward and brought him a high hat.
He entered the palace this time, firstly, to see if the emperor had suffered any substantial harm, and on the other hand, he had the intention of assassinating Mu Changjin.
Therefore, during the period of visiting Emperor Chu, he mentioned that Mu Changjin had often fought with the marching army of the Marquis of Zhongyong before, and his prestige was also far and wide, so he naturally saw a lot of these assassins, so it would be more efficient to let him track down this assassin.
Emperor Chu thought for a while, although he knew that his son was not right-minded, but he also agreed with his statement, so he ordered someone to summon Mu Changjin into the palace early in the morning and asked him to track down the assassin.
"The prince is laughing, it's just some rumors, how can you believe it, presumably the prince should be more capable than the minister."
Although it is a chin, but the figure is still upright, he doesn't know why Chu Jing wants to target him like this, but this errand must not be handled.
"Mu Xiaohou Ye means that my father doesn't know anyone and imposes an errand on you? As a prince of the Holy Lord, you should share the worries of the Holy One, and if you shirk like this today, are you not afraid of disappointing the king's grace? ”
He had already made up his mind that he would not let Mu Changjin refuse easily, and at this time, he even moved out of Emperor Chu, and he was even more victorious.
If it was according to Mu Changjin's attitude, he would naturally be reluctant to pay attention to this matter.
But Chu Jing kept fanning the flames in front of Emperor Chu, so that it was difficult to ride a tiger.
So in the end, seeing that Emperor Chu was already on the verge of anger, Mu Changjin had to take over this errand.
"This matter is very important, Mu Xiaohou Ye should investigate it carefully, so as not to miss any clues and let the thief get away with it."
After going out of the door stone, Chu Jing and Mu Changjin came out together, and when he stepped out of the palace gate, he saw him smiling evilly and telling Mu Changjin about it, obviously looking like he was watching a good show.
Hearing this, the corners of Mu Changjin's lips raised an evil arc, but he didn't want to give a look, so he left directly.
It seems that if you look at it, you will stain your eyes.
But he wrote down the account.
And Mu Changjin got this errand, and the news naturally spread to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion quickly, so as soon as Mu Changjin arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw the personal guard Liu Chao waiting at the door.
"Let's talk about what we have to say."
Seeing that Liu Chao had something to say to himself, Mu Changjin didn't give him this opportunity, raised his hand and patted Liu Chao's shoulder when he stepped into the mansion, and after saying such a sentence in a low voice, he walked into the mansion first.
Liu Chao was reminded by Mu Changjin, and also thought that the wall had an ear, so he also chased after it quickly.
"The subordinates learned that the little marquis was forced to get this errand, so they were anxious, what can the master do, and the brothers should be prepared."
After walking to the study with Mu Changjin, Liu Chao took the lead in speaking.
He has been by Mu Changjin's side for many years, and he naturally knows that he is naturally reluctant to accept such an errand, and at this time, he was deliberately thrown over.
"It's okay, let's hold on for the time being and see the situation."
Mu Changjin's face was also quite unkind.
Since the other party has to find the door, then he will not be so easy to break.
It's just that if you think about it carefully, I feel that this matter is quite strange, although there is no shortage of emperors assassinated in all dynasties, but since Emperor Chu ascended the throne, few assassins have come to the door for decades, how can an assassin suddenly appear now.
Thinking about it this way, it is really suspicious, Mu Changjin was already a little suspicious at this time, the person behind the assassin must not be a small person, maybe it was to let someone investigate the matter, so he found someone to stage such an assassination drama.
So he wrote a note and handed it to Liu Chao, and told him to leave after a few words in his ear.
Obviously, this is the other party's game for him, if the first target of suspicion is naturally Chu Jing.
It's just that he's not a stupid person who won't push himself out like this.
It's not as simple as it seems.
Just after Mu Changjin made the deployment, within half a day, the news that he was going to arrest the assassin had spread throughout the capital.
But this news was not released by him.
"Little Hou Ye, this Chu Jing is too deceitful, obviously this matter should be kept secret, he just let the news to the whole capital to listen to, for fear that the assassin doesn't know that someone wants to arrest him!"
Liu Chao, who had just come back from outside, looked angry, and on the way back to his house, he heard the people talking about it, and thought it was the news released by Mu Changjin.
But then he thought about it, when Mu Changjin instructed him today, he instructed him to do it secretly, and this move must not have been done by him.
"Maybe this is the scene he wants."
Compared with Liu Chao's excitement, Mu Changjin seemed very calm, as if he expected it.
In the face of Liu Chao's angry remarks, he just replied lightly, if it weren't for Liu Chao's clear that this matter was Mu Changjin's errand, otherwise he would think that he was someone who had nothing to do with this matter.
"You don't have to be angry, I'll take you to vent your anger in two days."
In fact, in addition to Liu Chao, there are many people who have followed Mu Changjin for many years, and they are very angry, Liu Chao is just straight, so he said everything in their hearts for them.
In the face of these subordinates, Mu Changjin naturally would not blame him, so he comforted.
But for the specific plan, he didn't say a word, and no matter how much Liu Chao asked, he never spoke again.
Seeing this, Liu Chao also stopped, he knew Mu Changjin's temperament, since Chu Jing wanted to find trouble for his little marquis, then Mu Changjin would definitely give him a generous return gift.
Mu Changjin's plan was secretly underway, and Chu Jing's mansion was already a sound of celebration.
"The military advisor who lost this time was quick-witted, and immediately threw this matter to Mu Changjin, and now he has a headache."
In the palace of the king, Chu Jing was in a good mood today, so he invited courtesans and maiko and held a banquet.
"Thank you Your Highness for your compliment, the minister also wants to try his best to share the worries for His Highness, this time His Highness is also hard work, and he went to the palace for a trip, if it weren't for His Highness's lobbying, this matter would not have been possible."
The military advisor did not take all the credit on himself, but exaggerated Chu Jing's credit and satisfied the vanity of the other party, which made Chu Jing smile even more, and rewarded him with a lot of things immediately.
This made the military advisor thankful again.
Chu Jing's banquet was held until late at night, and the military advisor was finally invincible to the strength of the wine, so he left the table in advance and asked someone to help him go back to the house, and when he left, Chu Jing also laughed at his drinking.
The military advisor was not annoyed by this, he just smiled and responded, and then said goodbye to Chu Jing.
And the moment the military advisor stepped out of the door, the drunkenness on his face disappeared instantly, and he was replaced by a more clear and even more clear face.
"It's so proud to have a trace of results, no wonder it's not a prince material."
Then he didn't look at Chu Jing's mansion, straightened his body and walked forward, he only had deep contempt for Chu Jing in his heart.
In his opinion, Chu Jing is just a material for being an idle little marquis, but he still wants the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, which is really wishful thinking.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a deep hatred for Mu Changjin, he wouldn't have helped such a mediocre talent.
And thinking of Mu Changjin, a cold light shot out of the military advisor's eyes, so sharp that it seemed to tear people in half, and such hatred was only aimed at Mu Changjin alone.
"Let's all go down."
After the military advisor left for a while, the intoxication on Chu Jing's face was gone, and he got up and dismissed the surrounding prostitutes.
He was just playing on the spot, and if he didn't pretend to be a little bit like that, how could that person be used by him.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, I don't know who knows the praying mantis, who is the yellow finch.
……
"Assassins?"
Two days later, the news that Mu Changjin was going to arrest the assassin spread in the capital, and almost every household could talk about it, which basically became a topic of conversation after dinner.
Therefore, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion is no exception, and Li Le soon got such news.
In his previous life, he had never heard of the assassination of the emperor, but now this kind of thing happened.
But in contrast, she was more worried about Mu Changjin's safety.
"Such a thing, I'm afraid it was done by a dead soldier sent by someone, and the target is probably Mu Xiaohouye."
The so-called dead soldiers are those who do the task without regard for their own lives, and once the mission fails and is captured, they will bite off the poison in their mouths and kill themselves first, so that the other party will not get any information.
"Miss, beware that if you say this, you will be heard by someone who cares."
As soon as the words fell, Shuang'er reminded in a whisper.
"It's okay, there are only a few people on the left side of my courtyard, and only those people in the second room are thinking about what news they want to get from me every day, so that they can take advantage of it, but in this situation, I'm afraid they don't dare to do it easily."
She was naturally referring to the crested hairpin.
Because they have crested hairpins in their hands, even if they want to move, they have to throw a rat bogey.
As he was talking, the maid guarding the door suddenly came and said, "Miss, the housekeeper has something to report to you." ”
"Let him in."
Speaking of this palace banquet, Li Le found that the people in the palace had more and more respect for her, thinking that the things at the palace banquet had been spread in the past few days, and the people in the palace had such a change after hearing it.
It's better that she doesn't have to worry about some little things.
"I've seen the eldest lady, the housekeeper asked the little one to come and tell you, there seems to be an abnormality in the second room recently, I hope the eldest lady will pay more attention."
