Every Qixi, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve, Shangyuan Festival, such festivals, the imperial court will allow all departments to rest for one to three days, but local county ya, including Ping'an County Ya and Jingzhao Fu Ya, this kind of festival is the busiest time.

On ordinary days, there is a curfew in Beijing, and ordinary people don't even dare to go out at night, and after being caught, the lightest is a cane punishment.

This makes it very easy for the government to maintain law and order.

But these festivals are different, the imperial court has canceled the curfew, and the people can rarely have an exciting nightlife, no matter what is happening, they have to go out of the house.

It is undeniable that most of the people go to the streets to have fun, but some ill-intentioned people also find opportunities in such days.

Every important festival, the Beijing division goes to the yamen to report the case due to theft or robbery, not to mention dozens of cases, and some major cases also occur from time to time.

A year ago, the Lantern Festival, Tang Jing, the eldest son of the Tang family, was brutally killed on the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the murderer has not been found until now, a year later in the Chinese New Year's Eve, King Kang was assassinated on the way back from the palace, his life was worried, Emperor Chen was furious, the New Year's Day, Ping'an County Ya, Jingzhao Mansion Ya, Dali Temple, Criminal Department, Yushitai, several departments that were originally Xiumu, all those who could be mobilized were mobilized, and the search for the murderer in Manjing was ......

Chen Huang said angrily that once the murderer is caught, he will not tolerate it immediately......

Although Chen Guo did not abolish Ling Chi's punishment, he did not use it for a long time.

This is the punishment that only the most heinous and unforgivable people will use.

The son of Marquis Wu Lie died, and it can be revealed with an understatement, the eldest son of the Tang family is dead, and the Jingshi has searched for the murderer for a while without success, and it will be gone.

But not this time, it's about royal majesty and about decency.

He dares to kill King Kang today, he dares to kill King Duan tomorrow, and he dares to kill the emperor the day after tomorrow......

There has never been an assassination of the prince in Jingshi, first, this is a capital crime, and no one dares to commit it, and second, these princes have a noble status, and every time they go out, they will bring enough guards, and no one can do it.

King Kang is the exception among the princes, since his downfall, the advisers have run away, the servants have dispersed, and for the past few months, he has been alone, which just gives the thieves an opportunity.

After King Kang was assassinated, he was immediately taken into the palace and taken care of by the imperial doctor, Zhao Man had just returned from a visit in the palace, Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with King Kang?" ”

Zhao Man said: "The imperial doctor said that he almost injured his lungs, but he lost too much blood, and now he has no worries about his life." ”

King Kang came out of the palace yesterday, when he returned to King Kang's mansion, he was stabbed from the secret, and after the murderer hit it, he rushed to the crowd and disappeared.

However, this murderer is obviously not a veteran, this knife just avoided the vital point, if it is an inch further to the side, King Kang will become a dead King Kang.

Zhao Man looked at him and asked with a pale face: "They all said that it was Brother Duan Wang who wanted to kill Brother Kang, is it true?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. ”

King Kang now has nothing, what to fight with King Duan, it stands to reason that King Duan does not need to kill them all and leave a handle for himself.

When he ascends the throne, he can do whatever he wants to do with King Kang, and there is no need to rush for a while.

But maybe, what if Duanwang is such an acute son and wants to get rid of this trouble?

However, it cannot be ruled out that this is a bitter trick played by King Kang with great cost, these people play intrigues all day long, be cruel to others, and be ruthless to themselves, stabbing themselves and pulling King Duan down, it is not impossible to do it......

This is just Tang Ning's speculation, as for what the inside story is, it depends on Emperor Chen's investigation.

The Imperial Palace, a certain hall.

Concubine Zhang Xian sat on the edge of the bed, looked at King Kang, who was pale and bloodless, and said worriedly: "How is my son?" ”

King Kang showed a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, concubine, the imperial doctor said that she can't die." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian grabbed his hand, cried bitterly, and said sadly: "My son is already like this, what else do they want from you......"

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Emperor Chen slowly walked into the hall.

Concubine Zhang Xian looked back, stood up, walked quickly in front of him, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine begs Your Majesty, let Cheng'er return to the fiefdom, he can't stay in Jingshi anymore, the concubine only has such a son, the concubine can't watch him die......"

Emperor Chen grimaced and said, "Stupid, do you think he can survive if he goes to the fiefdom, he will only die faster if he goes to the fiefdom!" ”

Concubine Zhang Xian's body trembled, and she said sadly: "Your Majesty, save Cheng'er, he is your son!" ”

"You haven't slept all night, go back to the palace to rest first, I will find out about this matter." Emperor Chen looked at the palace maid behind Concubine Zhang Xian, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you help Concubine Xian return to the palace?" ”

"Yes......"

The two palace maids hurriedly helped Concubine Zhang Xian out, Chen Huang walked to the bed, King Kang struggled to stand up, Chen Huang walked forward quickly, helped him lie down, and said, "You are injured, excuse me." ”

King Kang said weakly: "Father Xie ......"

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "What happened last night, do you remember, can you see the person's appearance clearly?" ”

King Kang shook his head and said: "After Erchen left the palace last night, he returned to the house alone, and when he passed by a dark alley, someone rushed out of the alley, stabbed Erchen and rushed into the crowd, he was masked, and Erchen didn't see his appearance clearly......"

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Have you offended anyone recently, or anyone who is suspicious?" ”

King Kang looked at his eyes, smiled helplessly, and said, "No ......"

After a pause in his tone, he said again: "Father, after the son's injury is healed, let's go back to the fiefdom, and don't stay in Jingshi to make trouble for my father." ”

Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "I let you stay in Jingshi, you will stay in Jingshi, I want to see if some people are so bold as to be lawless......"

……

He walked out of the main hall and walked to a certain corridor, and his steps stopped.

He looked ahead and asked, "You say, is this the hand of King Duan, or is it King Kang's bitter trick?" ”

No one responded to him for a long time, he glanced back at Wei Jian and said angrily: "What about what I asked you, are you deaf?" ”

Wei Jian raised his head, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Did Your Majesty say anything just now?" ”

"Is there really something wrong with your ears...... Emperor Chen glanced at him with some annoyance, and finally waved his hand, thinking of the situation just now, he said in a deep voice: "Cheng'er, his expression doesn't seem to be fake, I can't see the slightest flaw, it shouldn't be him, and according to the imperial doctor, if that knife is half an inch to the left, his life will be gone, he can't take such a big risk to frame Ming'er, not to mention, he can just say that he can directly say that he doubts the candidate......"

He thought about it, looked at Wei Jian, and said, "King Xuanduan has entered the palace." ”
