Chapter 109: Assassination, causing chaos
After getting off the boat, Liu Zhenglong hugged Yunxiang in his arms and said, "The letter, I wrote it, should you let the two of us go?" β
"Joke, since the letter is written, then what does it make if you don't want your life, you still have to go on the road obediently, as for Yunxiang, I will leave it to Lao Tzu Shuang."
Li Junchong waved his hand, dozens of Western Xia warriors rushed over, this group of guys trapped Liu Zhenglong in the middle, and the leading guy said coldly: "Boy, do it yourself, reward you with a whole corpse." β
"Boring." Liu Zhenglong originally thought that Li Junchong would make a big move, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, but it was good to show off his muscles in front of the beauty, he didn't want to be too bloody, for fear that it would scare Yunxiang, so he didn't plan to kill him.
Liu Zhenglong, who was merciful to his subordinates, came up and kicked the oncoming Western Xia warrior with a kick and smashed the left knee of his left leg, followed by crushing the bastard's right ankle.
As soon as he made a move, he abolished a Western Xia warrior, which surprised Li Junchong, and it seemed that he had underestimated his enemy, so he issued an order to kill.
There is a tradition among the Western Xia warriors, that is, once the order to kill is issued, even the last remaining warrior must kill the target, and at all costs, the target must not be let go, let alone escape.
The combat effectiveness of the Western Xia warriors is still amazing, and they are extremely brave, but a group of sheep meets the tigers, no matter how heroic they are, they can only add to the heroism, and the result is not that they are knocked to the ground one by one.
Seeing his men fall to the ground one by one, although none of them lost their lives, but each of them had their legs broken and their arms broken, it was obvious that the enemy wanted to stay alive and did not want the Western Xia warriors to escape.
At this time, Li Junchong regretted that he had given the order to kill, but there was no regret medicine in the world, so he waved his machete and slashed at Liu Zhenglong.
"It's not fun to stop playing." Liu Zhenglong really didn't want to entangle with this group of Western Xia warriors anymore, and his moves began to speed up, and almost every move could solve an enemy.
Dong Fengling, who was hiding in the shadows, was startled, he didn't expect Liu Zhenglong to be so strong, dozens of Western Xia warriors were not opponents, he was not ready to shoot, he took out a hidden weapon in desperation and prepared to sneak attack Liu Zhenglong, this is a hidden weapon that seals his throat with blood, as long as he is hit, he will definitely die, and there is no possibility of survival.
Just when Liu Zhenglong pinched off Li Junchong's hand, Dong Fengling made a move, and a cold light pierced Liu Zhenglong's back, and he fell to the ground on the spot after being hit.
Yun Xiang, who witnessed this scene, was so heartbroken that he immediately fainted.
Li Junchong, whose hand was pinched, couldn't care about the others, and fled in a hurry. And Dong Fengling soon disappeared into the woods.
I don't know how long it took for Yun Xiang to slowly wake up, she found herself in a strange room, only Ling'er was serving by her side, she struggled to remember, and said with difficulty: "How is the official, take me to see the official." β
"The officer was injured, it is said that the injury was very serious, and now it is secretly protected, no one can see us, we are imprisoned here, we cannot go out." Ling'er hurriedly grabbed Yun Xiang and said that she wouldn't let her out.
"No, I'm going out, if the official has three longs and two shorts, I won't live." At this moment, Yun Xiang's heart is like a knife, she can't wait to die by herself, and exchange her life for the safety of officials.
A terrible news spread in Jingzhao Mansion, the three-way defense envoy was assassinated, the nine gates of the entire Jingzhao Mansion were closed, and the whole city was searched, which made the chickens and dogs restless for a while, and the people were panicked.
Jingzhao Mansion sentenced Li Jin like a mad dog, leading his subordinates to conduct door-to-door searches, causing the people to complain and be angry.
At this moment, the prefect Du Chong was also dumbfounded, the three-way defense envoy had been in Jingzhao Mansion for less than ten days, and he hadn't even met with him, so he was assassinated. If the murderer is not caught as soon as possible and an explanation is given to the imperial court, then the officialdom of Jingzhao Mansion will definitely be purged.
You must know that Liu Zhenglong is not only a defense envoy, but also a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, the son-in-law of the Pan family, and his assassination is destined to be a storm of officialdom.
While ordering the officials to cooperate in solving the case, Du Chong secretly wrote a letter to Taishi Cai Jing, requesting that he be transferred out of Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible, and he didn't want to stay in Jingzhao Mansion for a moment. Du Chong wants to escape from Jingzhao Mansion, not because he is afraid of taking responsibility, the key is that the enemy can assassinate the three-way defense envoy, then he can also assassinate his own prefect, for this guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death, saving his life is more important than anything else.
Originally, he didn't want to visit Liu Zhenglong, the three-way defense envoy, so early, but now he didn't have to pay a visit, he was assassinated, and he was in Jingzhao Mansion.
Now it can be said that the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, not is, because the three-way defense envoy was assassinated, and he, the Yongxing Army, is the most suspicious, and he doesn't need evidence at all, and he doesn't need a reason, and the court will suppress the charge.
Seeing his father sighing and sighing, he was at a loss, the four brothers and sisters of Zheyanhu, Zheyanlong, Zheyuexian, and Zheyueying all came over, wanting to see what happened to their father.
As soon as the short-tempered and simple-minded guy came in, Zhi Yanhu shouted: "Father, it's a good thing that kid was assassinated, you should be happy, why are you depressed?" β
"Happy fart." Zhi Keqiu slapped Zhi Yanhu hard, and the old man said angrily: "The disaster of the Zhe family is coming, how can you make Lao Tzu happy?" β
"When a catastrophe comes, where does my father start with this?" Zhe Yanlong is not as impulsive as his eldest brother, after all, he has read books, and he seems to realize that something is wrong, otherwise his father would not be so nervous.
Bing Xue's smart Zheyue Immortal said: "Father, don't you think that when Liu Zhenglong is assassinated, this case will be pressed on our family's head!" β
"What do you think?" Zhe Keqiu waved his hand to signal the children to sit down, and he said helplessly: "Liu Zhenglong is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, patrolling the northwest on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time he is the son-in-law of the Pan family. β
Confessing, as soon as he heard the explanation, everyone's head was big, and Zheyueying said: "Father, you mean that you are afraid that Du Chong and others will throw the blame on your head." β
"The backstage of the treacherous and cunning prefect Du Chong is the Taishi Cai Jing, and Li Jin is sentenced to take refuge in Tong Guan, and he also knows that Pan Feng is a child of the Pan family, and at the same time Liu Zhenglong's brother-in-law. Zhu Xiaosun, who stayed in Jingzhao Mansion, is the prince's brother-in-law, these guys are all civil officials, plus they have a background, so it is easy to dump the pot. If you want to give an explanation to the imperial court, there is no doubt that it is most appropriate for my father to be pushed out. You must know that the Great Song Dynasty was a world of scholars and doctors, and there has never been a case of assassination of civil officials, this is definitely a big case that shocked the government and the opposition, and the official family also has to give an explanation to the official group in the world. β
It was the smartest of the four brothers and sisters who spoke, Zheyue Xian, and she said helplessly: "In the Great Song Dynasty, the most powerful is not the royal family, nor the meritorious group, but the outrageous civil official group, which controls every inch of land and every field in the Great Song Dynasty. β
This is the characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as it is related to the civil official group, then the civil officials all over the world will react at the first time, and it is not uncommon to blackmail the official family. Jingkang's shame is not that Song Qinzong's head show is funny to go to the Jin army camp to negotiate, but that he can't go if he doesn't go. was coerced by the civil official group, if he didn't go, he wouldn't be able to be the emperor, and if he couldn't go down, he had to go.
Don't look at the contradictions in the officialdom of Jingzhao Mansion, but now they are definitely the same enemy, on the one hand, they are trying their best to arrest the assassins, and on the other hand, they are beginning to study how to throw the pot flawlessly, and put the most culpable on the head of Zhe Keqiu.
Although he was slapped in the face, Zhi Yanhu was not convinced, he said angrily: "Liu Zhenglong was assassinated, what did we do to the family, just catch the assassin and give an explanation to the imperial court." β
"Then what if Du Chong and the others casually arrested someone and said that they were assassins, and after being beaten into a trick, they would put the charges on our heads?" Zhe Keqiu didn't like to listen to his eldest son the most, and when he was upset, his hands were shaking when he drank tea.
"It's a big deal, we have turned our family back and taken refuge in Western Xia."
As soon as Zhi Yanhu's words landed, the teacup in Zhi Keqiu's hand was smashed, and the forehead of this unlucky guy was smashed, and the blood immediately stained the ugly face, which was already ugly, but now it is really hideous.
"You'd better use your brain to speak in the future." Zhi Keqiu said helplessly: "Our Zhe family has been guarding the northwest since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been more than two hundred years. If we go to Western Xia, we will definitely be eaten alive. Moreover, the Zhejia army is less than 50,000, and in the midst of heavy military surrounding, as long as there is a rebellion, it will soon be suppressed. Although the world is big, there is no place for the family to stay, hey, it is really a closed door to sit at home, and the disaster comes from the sky, which is caused by my failure to accumulate virtue. β
Faced with the fact that there is no love for survival, Zhiyue Immortal thought for a while and said: "Father, in fact, there is no room for forgiveness in this matter, I think there is still a turnaround." β
"Turn around, you name it and listen to it." Among the four children who can be sought, the smartest is this seventeen-year-old Zhiyue Immortal, who is not only known as the first beauty in Jingzhao Mansion, but Bing Xue is smart and strategic, and is known as the female Zhuge .
Zheyue Xian said: "Father, since they are arresting assassins, then we will also arrest assassins, who will not dump the blame, push this matter on the head of the Western Xia people, no matter how powerful the civil official group is, it can't do anything to the Western Xia." Of course, we do our homework. On the one hand, you wantonly looted the Tangut people in the city and destroyed the shops of the Tangut people, on the other hand, you personally went to Liu's Mansion to mourn, and at the same time expressed your willingness to submit to the Pan family to your fellow acquaintance Pan Feng. I believe that the Pan family will accept his father's kindness, and it is most appropriate for the Xixia people to take the blame for this matter. Moreover, among the information we have, those dens in Jingzhao Mansion in Western Xia can be eliminated. β
"That's right! Who can't dump the pot. He said: "The matter of arresting the Xixia people will be handed over to Yanlong, remember to attack quickly, there must be no mistakes, it is related to the future fate of the Zhi family, you must not make a mistake." β
"Please rest assured, father, I'll do it right away."
That night, Zhe Keqiu decided to go to Liu's Mansion in person to offer condolences.
Not only are the civil and military officials of Jingzhao Mansion under pressure, even Tong Guan is a big one, Liu Zhenglong was assassinated, he also has to take the blame, at least the official family will have such suspicions, once they are suspected by the officials, it is definitely a very terrifying thing.
From the day after Liu Zhenglong was announced to be assassinated, many carrier pigeons were sent from Jingzhao Mansion. Soon the news reached the capital.
The official family was furious and sent the Imperial City Division to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate the matter thoroughly, at the same time, the Pan family sent a challenge to the Cao family, and the meritorious family completely broke up, although there was no warning of this break, but the Gao family announced that they would join the Pan family camp, and the Cao family and the Shi family formed an alliance, and the meritorious family group that had existed for more than 150 years completely went to a rupture.
The official family is very satisfied with the Pan family's choice to attack at this time, and they also know that the big storm has just begun, and it depends on how the wind blows down.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji looked at the top-secret recital, and was in a good mood, and began to yearn for the wonderful feeling after recovering the sixteen states of Youyun, and longed to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.
After all, the imperial court is far away from this storm, and it does not have much impact on Jingzhao Mansion, at least it will not be visible for a short time, but everyone in the officialdom of Jingzhao Mansion knows that a bigger storm is ahead.
It turned out that the Pan Mansion, which was full of people, suddenly became busy, and the officials of the entire Jingzhao Mansion lined up to visit Pan Feng, the Tongzhi Lord.
Pan Feng didn't care about the arrival of these people, but he still attached great importance to the arrival of the folded begging, not only met in person, but also gladly accepted the olive branch thrown by the other party, the two talked secretly for a long time, judging from the expression, the two talked very happily, and they should have reached a consensus.
At this time, I finally relaxed, and I don't have to worry about that thing anymore. I don't know why, I always feel that there is a conspiracy behind Liu Zhenglong's assassination, and it is a big conspiracy.
It's not a simple person, this cunning old fox can see a lot of problems from this matter, although he can't see what tricks Liu Zhenglong is playing for a while, but the only thing that is certain is that this little fox is not easy to deal with.
Zheyue Xian, this ice and snow smart beauty also has a new understanding of Liu Zhenglong in her heart, it can be said that this man has subverted all her previous judgments, this beauty is not as optimistic as Zhe Keqiu, and always feels that Liu Zhenglong is a disaster for the Zhe family, and it will definitely not be a savior. But what can you do in the face of such a magic star?
