Chapter 406: Xiao Feng's ruthless and vicious schemes
Seeing Yang Youji being tied up by the five flowers, Xiao Rui's expression on his face became more and more solemn, this is Xiao Feng's slander, he actually knew that Yang Youji was secretly protecting himself, and in order to prevent Yang Youji from being exposed, after taking him to the hunting ground, he let him hide among the powerful disciples, and this move was precisely used by him to show that he was harboring evil intentions.
It's just that...
Yang Youji came from Xiangzhou, and he was not familiar with the people in Kyoto, and not long after coming to Kyoto to meet Xiao Rui, he was sent to Lanling to find Xiao Qingqing. He's a descendant, loyal, and shouldn't betray himself.
So Xiao Feng knows his identity so well? Could it be that there is a spy around you? He can buy others, and Xiao Feng can also win over the people around him!
However, with Jia Xu and Guo Jia here, this problem should not arise.
Wait a minute...
Xiao Qingqing!
Could it be that when Yang Youji went to Lanling to see Xiao Qingqing, he revealed his identity and archery skills, so after the news was transmitted back to Kyoto, Xiao Feng knew that there was an archery master next to him, so he had this design?
But at this time, Xiao Rui couldn't help but think about it.
Emperor Xia coldly glanced at Yang Youji and asked, "Who are you?" ”
After Yang Youji came back with Xiao Rui, he stayed in a corner and waited, but he didn't expect more than a dozen forbidden army soldiers to quietly surround him, pounce on him directly, and then lock him with iron chains. He didn't know the situation, and he didn't want to fight back with a bow and arrow, so he could only be captured in the end.
Just when the atmosphere was depressed, Xiao Rui arched his hand and said: "Father, this person's name is Yang Youji, he is the escort of the son, and the son brought him to the hunting ground. Because he was not from Kyoto, he was mistaken for an assassin. ”
"Oh?" Emperor Xia's gaze shifted to Xiao Rui and looked at him.
At the same time, the other people in the tent also looked at Xiao Rui, their expressions full of distrust.
After all, Xiao Jing's guards just now said that King Jing was suspected of being shot and injured by King Xian's subordinates, and he had stayed with King Chu, and now that he is back, King Chu is dead. There is still such a sharpshooter hidden in the secret, all kinds of signs, don't they say anything?
Xiao Rui also knew Xiao Feng's insidiousness, looking at Xiao Feng at this time, his face was honest, but his city was terrifying.
For now, the only way to clear the suspicion is to find a way. So Xiao Rui calmly looked at Emperor Xia and said: "Father, the second brother was killed, and the sons and daughters were deeply saddened, but if it was Yang Youji's doing, why bother to come to the general, why didn't you escape on horseback, wouldn't this be a self-defeating net?" Secondly, Yang Youji is the protector of Erchen, and Erchen is willing to guarantee with his life, he is by no means a traitor, and he will not assassinate the king of Chu. Moreover, if he is really the real murderer, the minister will not be able to escape the involvement, not to mention, shooting the King of Chu is really a stupid method! Finally, there are many people with excellent archery skills in this winter hunt, why do you only suspect Yoyuki? Just because there aren't many people who know him? ”
Emperor Xia nodded, and then said to Zhuge Yuanba: "Temporarily block the news, block the scene of the crime, and don't mention this matter to the ministers outside." Escort this person down first. ”
"Yes!" Zhuge Yuanba immediately received the order and let people take Yang Youji away.
At this time, among the military tents, only Xiao Lie, Xiao Ze, Xiao Feng, Xiao Yan and Xiao Rui remained, and Emperor Xia sat heavily on the chair, with sadness on his face and a sad expression.
The loss of a child in middle age is one of the tragedies, and Emperor Xia is one of the most important things, so he can't help but sigh in his heart at this time.
Several princes are also mourning, but they don't know their faces but their hearts, and they don't know what emotions they have in their hearts.
Xiao Rui knew that his own explanation could not clear his suspicions, and besides, did Xiao Feng really have only such means? I really underestimated him.
At this time, Xiao Feng also frowned and was worried, just like an ordinary honest person, he couldn't see the viciousness in his heart at all.
........
In the Xianwang Mansion, although the assassins were blocked by the guards of the forbidden army, the speed of the attack was not slow at all, and it was only a mansion from Jia Xu and Guo Jiadu's living room, and they were about to be killed.
Fortunately, the people of the Yang Organization had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, and at this time, with Jia Xu's order, the hidden Yang Organization master immediately appeared and began to counterattack.
The assassins were suddenly attacked by the masters of the Yang Organization and immediately went down, but these assassins were not afraid of death, and they desperately rushed into the living room to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia. But unfortunately, the people of the Yang organization did not give them a chance.
When more than 40 people were besieged and killed, the remaining assassins knew that they had lost their position, and there was no possibility of escape, they were all dead soldiers, and they all wiped their necks and committed suicide, and they didn't even have a chance to capture them alive!
Jia Xu also expected this, and hurriedly sent someone to inspect the corpse, this inspection did not matter, and found that the weapons of this group of people were all the standard weapons of the Qi State, and two of them were very familiar, and they were just members of the Qi State Mission this time!
Could it be that Qi Guo pretended to reach an alliance with Xia Guo, so that Xia Guo took it lightly, and then sent someone to assassinate King Xian?
Of course not.
This is also the conspiracy of Duanwang Xiao Feng.
"Fengxiao, we don't just underestimate this Duan King, it's just contemptible, his hands and feet can reach the Qi State Mission, it seems that his power is extremely amazing!" Jia Xu said.
Guo Jia nodded, at this time he was more worried about Xiao Rui, so he said: "Your Highness, I don't know what the situation is going on!" It's bound to be tougher than we thought! ”
Jia Xu sighed: "Now the distant water can't quench the thirst of the near, so I can only wait for the news." With the protection of Dian Wei and Yang Yuji, plus His Royal Highness is smart, he will not run too far, so there will be no danger. As long as His Highness is not worried about his life, other troubles are even tricky, and there is no solution for the time being. ”
At this time, Li Yuanfang also retreated.
He encountered a master outside the house, and the two fought for a long time, and the other party turned out to be a six-grade master, and Li Yuanfang was invincible, so he could only retreat! After retreating, he was relieved to see that the fighting in the palace had ended and all the assassins had been executed.
"Sir, the assassin has already surrendered, do you still need me to go to the north gate and wait for His Highness to return?" Li Yuanfang asked.
Jia Xu said: "No need, I guess the problem encountered by His Highness is even more tricky, and he will not return to the city for the time being." Moreover, the Marquis of Zhongyong will be here soon, and these assassins will be disguised as Qi people, and they can't be hidden. ”
Guo Jia also sighed, Jia Xu was right, the assassin came prepared to pretend to be from the Qi country, and now there is no time to deal with these corpses, and they can't deal with them.
On the other hand, Guo Jia also felt frustrated, he and Jia Xu had been fighting geese all year round, but now they were pecked by geese, and they knew that the other party had a conspiracy, but they didn't avoid it, but waited and watched, which was really a stupid move.
"Your Highness, I don't know what the situation is there!" Guo Jia said.
As the words fell, the patrol battalion arrived late, but they were late, and the assassins had already been killed. Not long after, Zhang Jinfu, the Marquis of Zhongyong, and Mu Chen, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, arrived.
Hearing that the assassins had been eliminated, the two were not surprised, after all, King Xian was now powerful, and there must be masters in the palace. But what happened next was just as Jia Xu and Guo Jia were worried about, they investigated the corpses and found that their identities turned out to be Qi people!
……
In the military tent, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
Although sad, he was the emperor after all, so he controlled his emotions, and not long after Zhuge Yuanba blocked the crime scene, the soldiers of the Northwest Battalion who were patrolling the periphery of the hunting ground found a guard who escaped from the hunting ground on horseback, and immediately controlled it and handed it over to Huo Xingye.
Huo Xingye immediately entered the account and reported: "Your Majesty, the soldiers patrolling outside the hunting ground have caught a fleeing guard, and this person is one of the guards beside His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”
"Bring it in!" Emperor Xia shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes!" After Huo Xingye heard the order, he immediately sent someone to escort the guards in.
When Xiao Rui saw the person coming, his heart sank, this person was the guard who was proficient in archery beside the King of Chu, and it was also Xiao Jing who was injured by him!
It seems that all this was calculated by Xiao Feng, this person had already been bought by Xiao Feng, after shooting and wounding Xiao Jing, when Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Rui were separated, he took the opportunity to shoot Xiao Yiheng and the three guards, then he escaped and was captured, it seems that it was also a plan!
Emperor Xia looked at such a guard and asked, "Who killed the King of Chu?" You are the guard of the king of Chu, why do you want to escape? Invite it truthfully, otherwise you will be blamed for the Nine Clans! ”
The guard knelt there and did not speak.
"Hard-mouthed, isn't it? Pull it down and send it to the East Factory and pry his mouth open! The anger in Emperor Xia's heart was burning.
"Yes! Your Majesty! Huo Xingye immediately took the people out and escorted them to the East Factory.
Xiao Rui stood aside, this is really a plan!
Then the next plot should be, after this guard was served well by Dongchang, he admitted that he was the king of Chu who was instructed by Xiao Rui and sent him to assassinate!
In addition, there have been many gaps between King Chu and Xiao Rui recently, and there are plenty of reasons to kill!
This accusation of instigating murder is too low-level, but is it important? Emperor Xia may not believe it, but as long as Xiao Rui can't prove his innocence, he will be suspected of killing his brother, and rumors will spread when the time comes, such as Xiao Rui and Princess Li Xiuer having an adulterous affair, etc., once the rumors are rendered, they will be boiling, even if Emperor Xia doesn't believe it, these rumors are like a cold knife, and they are fiercely inserted into Xiao Rui's body.
Xiao Feng planned to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia, abolish Xiao Jing, kill Xiao Yiheng, and wronged Xiao Rui!
Of course, there is also the Qi State Mission that Xiao Rui doesn't know about for the time being!
Interlocking, full of sword light and blood shadows.
Now that he knows Xiao Feng's tricks, he should also find a way to dismantle them.
Next, the winter hunt was canceled, and His Majesty returned to the palace and ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to thoroughly investigate the murder of the king of Chu. Although His Majesty ordered the news of the murder of the King of Chu to be blocked, how could Xiao Feng not use public opinion? The news that people had been sent to spread secretly a long time ago, and after everyone returned to the city, the news of the murder of the King of Chu spread far and wide, and the spearhead was directed at the King of Xian!
Xiao Rui returned to the palace and was relieved to see that Jia Xu and Guo Jia were safe and sound.
Although he asked the master of the Yang organization to prepare in advance, he was still worried that the assassin would be overwhelming, and if he injured the two gentlemen, wouldn't he regret it at the beginning?
And when Jia Xu and Guo Jia heard that Xiao Jing was injured and the king of Chu was killed, their expressions also changed greatly.
"There must be a master by King Duan's side! Your Highness, this time it was me and Bong Hyo who miscalculated. Jia Xu said apologetically.
Guo Jia also nodded.
Xiao Rui smiled: "We guessed that Duanwang would have a conspiracy, but we also knew what he would do." Falling into his trap this time was a mistake, but it was also inevitable. I don't fall into the trap this time, he will secretly set up other conspiracies, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. This time I saw his means, so I will have fun with him from then on. ”
Jia Xu and Guo Jia nodded and smiled.
Then next, according to Xiao Feng's conspiracy, we have to meet the moves.
First of all, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are safe and sound, and the next thing is how to clear their suspicions as soon as possible.
Fortunately in the misfortune, the guard who killed the king of Chu acted like a play, and when facing His Majesty's inquiry, he did not directly say that it was Xiao Rui's order, and it was precisely because of this that His Majesty was angry, so he directly asked Dongchang to interrogate.
Dongchang is directly responsible to His Majesty, and no one dares to interfere, so it must be the most appropriate for him to interrogate.
Fortunately, Xiao Rui and Wei Zhongxian have a relationship, this time, Wei Zhongxian had to protect Xiao Rui with all his might, because Xiao Rui had an accident, and he Wei Zhongxian was not much better!
At the same time, because the assassin pretended to be a member of the Qi delegation, when Emperor Xia returned to the palace and heard about this, he immediately ordered people to seal off the Honglu Courtyard and imprison the Qi delegation.
This naturally caused a strong protest from the Qi State Mission, but fortunately, Ye Wendao was there, and it did not cause major friction between the two parties.
At this time, in the interrogation room of the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian, who had just taken the position of steward, personally interrogated the guard.
Sure enough, with Dongchang's methods, the guard finally couldn't hold on and admitted that he was instructed by King Xian to secretly shoot the King of Chu!
The guard is a dead soldier, this time he doesn't want to live, he just wants to be able to complete the task, he thought that if he said it, Wei Zhongxian would tell His Majesty like this, but unfortunately he miscalculated.
Not only him, but even Xiao Feng miscalculated.
Wei Zhongxian showed a cold smile and said: "I dare to wronged His Royal Highness King Xian, it seems that he is still hard-mouthed, Tian Ergeng, serve him well!" Don't get killed yet, our family has to enter the palace first! ”
"Yes!" Tian Ergeng is Xiao Rui's person, and when he heard that this person had wronged King Xian, he was even more itchy, ready to take out his housekeeping skills and let this person spit out the truth in his mouth.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly entered the palace and asked to see Hai Dafu.
When Hai Dafu heard Wei Zhongxian's request to see him, he thought that it was the king of Chu who was killed, and hurriedly told His Majesty.
Emperor Xia personally summoned Wei Zhongxian, waited for him to enter the palace, and asked, "What is the result of the interrogation?" ”
Wei Zhongxian knelt respectfully and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there have been some results of the interrogation, but..."
"Something to say!" Xia Huang said.
Wei Zhongxian then spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, this guard admitted that it was His Royal Highness the King of Chu who he killed, but when he asked him who instigated him, he first said that it was His Royal Highness Duanwang, and then he said that it was His Royal Highness King Jing, and in the end, he was tortured again, and this person said that it was His Royal Highness the King of Xian, and now he insists that it was His Royal Highness the King of Xian... The slave and maid dare not hide it, everything is true..."
The smart Wei Zhongxian knew that if he didn't say anything, His Majesty wouldn't believe it, so he would drag everyone into the water! If everyone has a problem, then there is no problem.
Emperor Xia's face sank, and he was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily: "How can this be true!" Is this a joke? Also, has the origin of this person been clarified? ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, although this person is the guard of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he has not followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu for a few days, so the people in the Chu Palace's Mansion do not know him, but only know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally brought him back, because of his excellent archery skills, he trusts him quite a lot." The slave guessed that since the King of Chu could bring it back in person and was quite trusting, the people behind the scenes must also be familiar with His Royal Highness the King of Chu... So the slave is investigating deeply, but unfortunately the origin of this guard has not yet been found. ”
Xia Huang nodded.
The contradiction between Xiao Rui and the King of Chu intensified, and the guards introduced by Xiao Rui, how could the King of Chu dare to trust them, so it must be introduced by someone who is familiar with the King of Chu, and the King of Chu will keep the guards by his side. This also reflects from the side that Xiao Rui was wronged.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian hesitated.
"If you have something, just say it!" Xia Huang said.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, before the villain entered the palace, I heard that the murder of the King of Chu had been leaked... And the spearhead is directed at His Royal Highness King Xian, the slave and maid are afraid that if they don't explain, the voice of discussion will become a boiling trend and cannot be controlled! ”
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes, there were not many people who knew about the assassination of the King of Chu, and he was ordered to seal it and prohibit it from being leaked, but now it was leaked out, and the spearhead was directed at King Xian, it seems that someone used this matter to deal with King Xian!
