Chapter 41: Assassination

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is quite knowledgeable, knowing that he will inevitably bring some trouble if he is sick at an inopportune time, he recommended a suitable candidate for Min Fenglan in advance.

Jing Mu is not very senior in the DPRK, and the meeting has always been organized by the Ministry of Rites. Jing Mu, an official who had just been transferred back to the imperial capital from northern Xinjiang, and a household servant, was actually not qualified to take over this errand.

But if you add some other considerations, Jing Mu is the best person to do this errand.

Jing Mu was born in Dingbei Hou Mansion, Dingbei Hou Mansion is an old Hou Mansion in the imperial capital, as long as Jing Mu is the son of Dingbei Hou for one day, the people of the family faction will not embarrass him too much.

But although Jing Mu is the son of the Marquis of Dingbei, he was admitted step by step by participating in the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, otherwise there would be no good story of the later three yuan and the first.

And along the way, he also got to know a lot of ministers who are now from poor families, so in the days when Jing Mu returned to the imperial capital from northern Xinjiang, the Qing faction did not feel sorry for him.

In addition, Jing Mu has been staying in northern Xinjiang all these years, and he has a lot of credit, but he is not very familiar with the situation in the imperial capital, so he will not be like those old fritters in the imperial capital.

Therefore, Jing Mu couldn't be more suitable for such a hot position as the examiner.

"Head of the house, portrait." A subordinate hurried in, holding up a portrait.

The head of the Yu family took the portrait, only glanced at it and became angry: "Are you sure of this girl's identity?" ”

The girl in the portrait is really too much like Cheng Yunmo, if it weren't for the wrong eyes and the wrong aura, the head of the Yu family would have thought that Cheng Yunmo had come back from the dead.

No, maybe Cheng Yunmo didn't die at all.

"This girl's name is Song Yuchu, and she is Song Tingyu's niece. When Northern Xinjiang was harassed by foreign enemies before, it was this girl who went out to meet the enemy. ”

The head of the Yu family sneered: "Song Tingyu's niece? When did he have an extra niece? ”

Although he said that, the head of the Yu family also stopped thinking about it just now. He thought that he couldn't let this girl live in the world no matter what, and let people check it, but he just went through the motions to confirm his identity.

But now it's Song Tingyu.

Song Tingyu's methods, although the head of the Yu family has never seen it with his own eyes in southern Xinjiang, he will not take it to heart. It is obviously unwise to offend an unfathomable person for the sake of a girl.

Although their Yu family may not be afraid of Song Tingyu, at this eventful juncture, more things are better than less.

"I heard that it is a distant relative of my family."

"Keep looking." The head of the Yu family paused: "Send a message to Yuwenxi, and send more people to keep an eye on Jing Mu." ”

"Yes."

"Did you find the poisoner who got lost?"

"Not yet."

Probably over-angry, the head of the Yu family said very coldly: "Increase your efforts to find, once you find it, kill!" ”

The man seemed to be startled, raised his head suddenly, and then lowered his head again, "Yes." ”

Song Yuchu once again knocked down a group of people with the help of a rather crude mechanism.

There is no suspense, and he is a member of the Yu family.

Song Yuchu put away the tools that could be used repeatedly, and looked at the Li bandit who was closely following him, and had a headache. Since the Li bandits followed them, the assassinations have never stopped, and how to save their lives has become an urgent issue.

Assassination is such a thing, they can block the first time, and naturally they can block the second time, but people's energy is limited after all, and they can't always maintain enough energy to deal with this seemingly endless and blatant assassination.

Min Fenglan once again received a message from Qiao Wei that day, which coincided with the exam. There was only a short sentence written on the letter, the Yu family in southern Xinjiang was assassinated and asked for support.

There is also some evidence that comes with the letter.

When Min Fenglan saw the four words of assassination, his heart suddenly became confused.

Originally, the first morning after the examination talked about the situation of the examination, and the atmosphere of the upward movement was quite harmonious, after all, the matter of the examination was a foregone conclusion.

But when Min Fenglan put the evidence from southern Xinjiang in the court, the atmosphere of the court changed abruptly.

"What do you think about the incident in southern Xinjiang?"

Since the evidence that Min Fenglan came up with was related to the Yu family, as the in-laws of the Yu family, the Dingbei Hou Mansion naturally bore the brunt.

The Marquis of Dingbei came out and said: "The minister thinks that this matter is not yet clear, please ask the emperor to investigate." ”

"Jing Mu, you say." Min Fenglan was in a terrible mood because of the four words of assassination. Although it is not obvious on the face, it is somewhat lazy to entangle with the ministers below.

As we all know, although Jing Mu was born in the imperial capital and was born in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, he grew up in the jade family in southern Xinjiang.

Jing Mu listed: "Can the emperor allow his ministers to identify." ”

In fact, there is no need to identify the things of the Yu family, even if they look at it from a distance, Jing Mu will never admit it.

After Min Fenglan nodded, the eunuchs beside him sent the evidence that Min Fenglan took out to Jing Mu one by one to facilitate his observation.

Jing Mu glanced at it roughly twice, and then he knew it in his heart. He said: "There are a few things in it that do come from the Southern Xinjiang Jade Family. ”

As soon as Jing Mu's words came out, there was an uproar in the court. Jing Hui couldn't help but scold: "Jing Mu, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

As if Jing Mu had not been influenced by the outside world, he continued: "Although there are things from the Yu family in this, it does not prove that the person who assassinated Qiao Wei is a member of the Yu family. ”

"The tokens and other items in the evidence are not something that is easy to obtain in the Yu family, if the assassination is really committed by the Yu family, I believe that the Yu family will never be able to expose such an obvious and fatal flaw."

Jing Mu knelt down and said in a very firm tone: "The minister thinks this is a frame-up!" ”

Min Fenglan looked at him for a long time before he said coldly: "Jing Qing is really condescending if he doesn't judge the case." ”

"The emperor praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed."

"Then Jingqing thinks this is a non-existent thing?"

"The minister doesn't know, I implore the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly." Jing Mu said respectfully.

Seeing Jing Mu's appearance, Min Fenglan suddenly remembered a sentence about Jing Mu's evaluation in the early years.

The most is the number of etiquette, words and deeds, which is exemplary.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Min Fenglan would definitely comment on it, and it was worthy of his name.

In terms of etiquette, Jing Mu is impeccable. Whether it was in Northern Xinjiang before or now, he has always been calm and calm when faced with others questioning him.

"Then which of you wants to go to southern Xinjiang to investigate this matter?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers looked at each other. Who doesn't know that southern Xinjiang has always had a lot of poisons, lush jungles, and miasma in the forests. If you have a life, can you come back alive? It's really an unknown.

For a moment, there was a rare silence in the court.

Seeing this, Min Fenglan laughed angrily and said, "Aren't you all very cheerful? How? Are they all dumb now? ”
