Chapter 299: Assassination
The capital has long been shrouded in a sense of peace, and all the people celebrate together.
But there was disharmony among the rulers, and there was often tension and argument in the Privy Council. Originally, it was inevitable that the powerful ministers would intrigue with each other, but they were all operated in private, and such blatant fights were still uncommon.
The two sides of the battle are Yiwen and Wu, a pair of living treasure father and son, Cai Jing and Cai You.
After recovering Yanyun, Huizong did not hesitate to reward and make generous moves. Tong Guan reached the peak and was named the king of Guangyang County, Cai You was promoted to the young master, Wang Hao was promoted to the Taifu, and Zhao Liangsi was promoted to the bachelor of the Yankang Palace...... The rest of the people are happy to be crowned officials, rewarded with money, and rewarded with mansions.
Tong Guan did not get carried away in the joy, he took the initiative to ask to stop all public office and retreat at home. This is the unspoken rule of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the compulsory course of military generals, after the military generals who have made immortal military exploits, his military career will come to an end, and at the same time, his career will mark the end, and he should be a rich man at home.
This can't just be understood as unloading the mill and killing the donkey, because the Zhao family's country was grabbed by using military power, and their experience passed down from generation to generation is to suppress the generals and not let them seize power from the Zhao family. Tong Guan is an old fritter in officialdom, he doesn't take the initiative to resign, and he still wants Huizong to have a glass of wine to release the military power? Be careful that the emperor turns over old accounts and doesn't recognize people, how much money did he spend on the country to recover Yanyun Liuzhou!
At this time, Huizong was happy, Tong Guan really understood the current affairs, and took the initiative to share my worries. The Cai family was even happier, and Cai You lived up to expectations and sat in the position of deputy privy envoy, with one article and one martial arts, and the father and son were in charge.
However, the father and son seem to be at odds, and they seem to be a pair of natural enemies, and they often quarrel over decision-making, which has formed a unique scenery in the Privy Council. The father and son turned against each other like a monkey show, the officials were happy to watch and watch, and the father and son of the Cai family were happy to be noisy and happy. The distribution of power in the imperial court also quietly changed in the noise, and it was not known whether the monkeys were playing people or the monkeys.
The power of the Cai family is in full swing, but Cai Jing's heart has not calmed down, he still has an undying opponent, he wants to overturn him and trample on his feet, and then dismantle eight pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart. That opponent was Song Jiang, who killed his daughter and son-in-law, and his autonomous region.
It is impossible to instigate Huizong to ban the autonomous region now, because the court officials in the autonomous region all speak good of the autonomous region, and the emperor himself has a great deal of good opinion of the autonomous region. This Song Jiang tricked the tax over-completion, but also for the emperor's sake, fun and beautiful are dedicated to the emperor not to say, but also sent people in the palace to build a few new cement roads, the emperor sat in the new carriage he offered, enjoy the scenery is really pleasing to the eye.
If the light does not work, the dark will come, and a vicious plan will arise in his heart.
The six special forces soldiers who came to pick up the Taixue students of the autonomous region were waiting at the gate of Taixue early, and their task was to pick up and protect the twelve Taixue. In addition to Song Jiang's son and daughter, these twelve Tai students also include Ling Zhen's son Ling Guohao, Wang Ying's son Wang Fanrui, Ruan Xiaoer's son Ruan Fugui, and Xiao Rang's son Xiao Yu. The other six are all young leaders selected by the special forces, and their task is to promote new ideas to the Tai students, strive for more talents to enter the autonomous region, and at the same time protect the safety of the Song brothers and sisters.
As usual, they walked a distance along the main street, then crossed two alleys to their home in the capital. Originally, two horses were led by Song Jingxin and Song Ziyu respectively, but later Song Ziyu strongly asked to walk, one is to avoid swagger, and the other is to come to the capital together, without discrimination, regardless of dignity or inferiority.
A group of people were talking and laughing and walking in the alley, and suddenly the leading special forces Sun Hongrong shouted: "Stop!" There are strange! Everyone immediately stopped laughing and looking around.
Sun Hongrong said in a low voice: "On weekdays, people come in and out of the alley, why is there no pedestrian today?" You see that there are a few more stalls selling snacks in front of you, and the stall owners are looking around, and their minds are not at all on buying and selling, and they do not drive away the beggars lying next to the stalls. Do you remember, the beggars we saw when we first entered the entrance of the alley, they were ruddy-faced, strong, and did not look like people living in hunger at all. There was something strange in the alley, and I suspected that we were surrounded, so we immediately quit the alley! β
Immediately, the special forces watched vigilantly, and tightly gathered around the six children to prepare to walk back. At this time, the beggars who had just seen at the mouth of the alley appeared in their field of vision, and the beggars slowly approached them with steel knives in their hands, their eyes fierce and murderous.
Sun Hongrong is the company commander in the special forces, and he is the leader of this group, he immediately whispered when he saw the danger approaching: "Tan Xingwang, the six of you are responsible for annihilating the enemy behind, you are too students and have no weapons, you must pay attention to your own safety!" β
"Yes, Sun Tou!"
"Monkey, you are responsible for the safety of Ziyu and Jingxin, they are one hair less, I peeled your monkey skin!"
"Don't worry, Sun Tou, when did we monkeys lose the special forces! I'm in them, I'm dead, they're still there! β
The joking monkey made an inopportune remark of cold humor, but the sparkle in his eyes was resolute.
"Liao Yuan and Qin Shengfeng pay attention to protecting the safety of the other four sons, and I, Zhigang, and Fat Man play forwards. Today's murderous spirit is very heavy, brothers don't be merciful when they fight, kill with one move, and kill a bloody way home! β
Sun Hongrong watched vigilantly while assigning tasks: "Don't be afraid, children, don't run around, follow us closely, we will definitely be able to protect you!" Did you hear me clearly? β
"Clear, Sun Tou! Let these dog thieves taste the iron fist of our Liangshanbo special forces today! Let them have no return! β
"Good! Now there is no turning back, since there is an enemy behind, let's simply kill it head-on! Everyone pay attention to the slightest change in the alley, and now protect the children and move forward slowly! β
As soon as everyone walked a few steps, there was a situation in the alley. I saw five or six men chasing a person to fight, and the man shouted for help while running, and ran towards Sun Hongrong and his party.
"Prepare for battle!"
Sun Hongrong gave an order, and the special forces quietly took out the hidden blade and entered the battle state, Shang Zhigang walked at the front of the team, hiding behind him with a short knife in his right hand, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
The beaten man ran to the crowd, suddenly knelt down and begged, "Heroes, help me!" Heroes, save me! Immediately after that, the five or six people chasing after also arrived, scolding and scolding: "Splash thief, the chasing old man is so tired, now you run again!" Beat the master to death! β
After speaking, he hugged up, punched and kicked, and ignored Sun Hongrong and his party.
Just when everyone was amazed, the monkey suddenly pushed the Song siblings to the ground and shouted, "Children lie down!" After speaking, he jumped in front of Song Ziyu.
At this moment, I only heard the whistling of arrow feathers pass through the monkey's chest, and with a stream of blood deep into the opposite wall, a large bloody eye immediately appeared on the wall, staring at everyone fiercely.
Divine Arm Bow!
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Today, Hua Ziwei's eyelids jumped straight without any warning.
Hua Ziwei is the owner of this family in the capital, and she doesn't want to take care of political matters, which is a men's business. All she had to do was keep her children and her four other children safe and well.
On weekdays, after the children go to school, she rides a horse to practice guns, or uses a repeater to practice the accuracy of hits. When others asked the reason, she always said that her archery and marksmanship were inferior to her brother Hua Rong, and she used her spare time to practice hard, and she must surpass Hua Rong and get a nickname of "female Li Guang" Hua Ziwei. In fact, she knew in her heart that there was danger in the calm of the capital, and she wanted to practice martial arts to protect her children.
She still has a little grudge against Song Jiang in her heart, is a father who can use his biological children as bargaining chips, a good father? He doesn't count! But he is a good big brother, a good commander in the eyes of all the Liangshanbo soldiers and civilians!
Hua Ziwei put some wheat on her eyelids, which is the method of her hometown, and it is said that she will not jump when she puts on her eyelids. Who knew that after attaching it, her eyelids jumped even harder, and she couldn't help but be angry, and her heart was pounding. As she walked back and forth, she secretly wondered if something had happened to Song Jiang, but there were so many brothers in the autonomous region, what would happen to him, so what's wrong?
She was as aggrieved as a hen about to lay eggs, but she couldn't find a nest and circled around the yard. She looked up at the sun and suddenly asked, "Why haven't the children finished school today?" β
The old butler replied, "Yes! It's long overdue to come back on time, maybe there's something delaying at school! β
"Not good! Something happened to the kids! Song Jiang, if anything happens to the children, the old lady can't spare you! β
Hua Ziwei suddenly shouted: "Prepare a horse for me, I want to go out!" All the special forces in the house went out with me, and the children were in trouble! Then he went crazy with guns and crossbows, and took a dozen special forces dressed as servants, got on his horse and hurried out.
The old butler looked at her back with a pair of confused eyes, and muttered: "This girl, she has all the children, and she is still crazy like this, and she has not changed at all." β
The Divine Arm Bow is a killing move, and it is also a signal to kill.
used the people in front and behind to interfere, and the divine arm bow sneaked attack, killing Song Ziyu in one fell swoop, even if he used human flesh as a shield, he could pierce it. It's a pity that after thousands of calculations, I didn't count that the monkey pushed Song Ziyu to the ground, although it penetrated the monkey's body, Song Ziyu was still safe and sound.
Just when the arrow passed through the monkey's body and everyone was stunned, the man who knelt on the ground suddenly took out a bag of lime from his arms and threw it at Shang Zhigang's face at the front, and then the killing began.
It's definitely a one-sided killing!
Situ Jin on the roof put down the bow of the divine arm, as if watching a play, leisurely enjoying the fight below. Now there is no need for the Divine Arm Bow, this thing is too penetrating to kill and injure his brothers. They are all selected from the forbidden army, killing a few unarmed followers, chopping melons and vegetables, and having to use yin tricks, I can't see these people too much! After doing this vote, he can be promoted to two levels, and there are two thousand taels of silver in the account, hahaha, festive!
Situ Jin, who was in obscenity, suddenly couldn't laugh, and the forbidden army with the advantage of numbers actually died several times. The kid who was hit by lime and couldn't open his eyes actually rushed into the crowd, and he didn't care about several knives in his body, and he killed three people in a row by his ears. Situ Jin took a cold breath: This guy is simply too strong! The damage to the eyes is so bad, if you open your eyes, wouldn't you be invincible!
Situ Jin shifted his gaze to the fight behind him and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Kill with one move! Is there such a powerful student? Six bare-handed Tai students snatched the swords and guns in the hands of the forbidden army, more than a dozen forbidden soldiers have already laid down half, and the rest have no power to fight back, this is a forbidden army dressed as a beggar, how can it be beaten like a real beggar?
At the moment when Situ Jin was surprised, the six Tai students killed all the forbidden troops behind, and then turned their heads to support the front. The front form is precarious, there were originally six special forces fighters, and now there are four left, and the monkey monk Shang Zhigang has already died. But the number of enemies increased, and those who set up the stalls and the beggars who lay around the stalls took out their swords and guns and joined the warband.
"I can't let them come together and do my good!"
Situ Jin hurriedly picked up the Divine Arm Bow and aimed at Tan Xingwang, a student who was rushing to the front, only to hear a sound, and the arrow passed through his chest. Tan Xingwang endured the severe pain and shouted intermittently: "Along with... Wall Roots... Run, protect well... Son... Miss...", and slowly fell.
At this time, Situ Jin was stunned, the special forces rescued along the root of the wall, his bow and arrow were not used at all, he wanted to shoot Song Ziyu to death with an arrow, but the six children were already lying at the root of the wall, and the four soldiers resisted in an arc and the forbidden army. Situ Jin had no choice but to jump from the roof to the wall and look down, who knew that a special soldier jumped up and grabbed his ankle and pulled it, he fell to the ground heavily, and then felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, looked up and saw a waist knife nailing him to the ground, he slowly lost consciousness,.
Seeing that someone came to support, Sun Hongrong and the other four people were in high spirits and cut down several people one after another. Seeing this, the forbidden army also worked even harder, their first target was Song Ziyu, and if they couldn't kill Song Ziyu, it would be a dead end to go back, so the forbidden army attacked without fear of death.
The two sides were entangled in hand-to-hand combat, and the sound of horses' hooves came from behind the forbidden army, followed by the shouts of death from the forbidden army behind. I saw Hua Ziwei killing from the alley with a gun in one hand and a crossbow in the other, followed by more than a dozen people. The forbidden army was immediately in chaos, and they hurriedly tried to escape, but there were people in front and behind, so they could only take care of the brawl of their heads.
Hua Ziwei was fast, she threw the crossbow that was shot in the air, raised her gun to stab a forbidden army to the heart, and then raised her gun and stabbed it repeatedly. With the addition of more than a dozen special forces fighters, the forbidden army was killed in a moment. Hua Ziwei hurriedly dismounted and hugged her children lying at the base of the wall in her arms. Lewen
Sun Hongrong stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Madam, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go home quickly!" β
Hua Ziwei got up and said, "Carry away the corpses of the warriors too!" β
At this time, a special soldier shouted: "Madam, there is an assassin here who is not dead!" β
Sun Hongrong said: "Take him away and ask who masterminded the assassination!" β
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the alley, and the assassins had come to reinforcements again? Hua Ziwei immediately picked up her gun and got on the horse and said, "Sun Hongrong, you immediately take the children and the wounded home, and leave me six people to block the assassin's reinforcements!" β
Sun Hongrong hurriedly said: "Madame, don't be like this, let Sun lead people to stop it!" β
"Listen to my orders and retreat immediately!" Hua Ziwei couldn't help but say: "If you delay the time and hurt the children, I won't spare you!" β
Sun Hongrong had no choice but to leave six people behind and lead the people to evacuate.
Hua Ziwei carried a gun and straddled the horse, like a wall standing in the alley, waiting quietly.
After a while, a group of forbidden soldiers patrolling the streets came, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the dead bodies all over the ground. The leading general knew Hua Ziwei, and he arched his hand and said: "Madam, the last general patrolled the street forbidden army and served as a martial artist, I heard that Ling Gongzi was assassinated, and the rescue was late, I hope Mrs. will forgive me!" β
Seeing that Hua Ziwei was not an assassin, she first relaxed, and then said angrily: "I hope that the general will inform the yamen of this matter, and if I can't find out the mastermind, I, Hua Ziwei, will never give up!" I want to face the saint! β
Ren Wu only agreed, but saw the assassin who was not dead slowly crawling towards him with a smile on his face. Ren Wu frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Madame, be careful!" β
Ren Wu drew his sword and rushed over, slashing several times in a row, and the man who was already dead could not die anymore. He kicked the dead body, and said silently in his heart: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm here to kill the mouth, and to leave your life is to take my life!" β
Hua Ziwei saw that Ren Wu had killed the only live mouth, and said angrily: "How can you find out the real murderer if you kill him?" β
Ren Wu bowed and said: "The last general is afraid that the assassin will hurt his wife, and he will act quickly in a hurry, I hope that Mrs. will forgive me!" β
Although Hua Ziwei understood what he said, she couldn't refute it, and said to her subordinates: "Carry our corpses back!" β
Ren Wu once again arched his hand and said: "Madame is angry, I'm afraid this will not work, the yamen will investigate the scene, and the autopsy will be conducted, if Madame forcibly carries it away, it will destroy the scene and bring difficulties to the detection!" β
Hua Ziwei laughed angrily, and she said loudly: "Okay! I am waiting for the good news from the Yamen. If the yamen can't find out the real murderer, the old lady will carry the corpse to the Jinluan Hall and ask His Majesty for an explanation! β
Ren Wu looked at the distant Hua Ziwei and wiped her cold sweat, this woman is too strong. Then he whispered to his hand: "Carefully check if there is a live mouth, and if there is, Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· immediately"
As he spoke, he made a motion to wipe his neck, and the soldier understood, and mended his knife on the assassin who still had a breath.
The government and the opposition were shocked, and Huizong was even more annoyed, this was directly forcing Song Jiang to rebel, who was pushing me to death? Examine! Check it out!
But the result made Huizong extremely unhappy, it was Fang Layu who infiltrated the capital and assassinated Song Ziyu in order to force Song Jiang to rebel and create chaos for the imperial court.
This is fooling a three-year-old!
Huizong couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, what kind of ministers are these, and after the matter subsides, I will slowly settle the account.
Hua Ziwei is even more dissatisfied with the result!
Will Fang La's remnants have a divine arm bow? Will the remnants of Fang La have the saber of the forbidden army? Will Fang Layu have such a strong combat power? Will Fang Layu be so familiar with the terrain? Will Fang La's remnants have the waist card of the forbidden army? There must be an explanation, if you are not tough now, there will be endless hardships in the future.
Hua Ziwei wanted to face the saint, and Huizong was at a loss, prevaricating for various reasons, which annoyed Hua Ziwei.
Hearing the sound of drums, the soldiers guarding the palace did not dare to stop them, watching the lively people in the dark, looking at the three corpses parked in front of the palace for a while, and looking at the flower crape myrtle beating the drum for a while.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and the drums were beaten. Vent your anger on the drum, and the drum will burst even more.
If you ignore it, you want to fool the old lady!
"Carry the corpse into the palace!"
Hua Ziwei shouted, and the special forces lifted the corpse and followed.
Crape myrtle is like an angry flame, surging forward unstoppably. The leader of the forbidden army saw that she would not stop it, and she carried the corpse into the palace, and her official position could not be kept, so she hurriedly stepped forward and begged: "Madam, slow down!" The young general has sent someone to inform His Majesty, and he will go to see him again when His Majesty sends a decree! β
"Are you sending snail soldiers? The old lady has been here for two hours, how can I see half of the people paying attention? Ignore him, let's go straight away! If Your Majesty doesn't give an explanation today, we will die in front of the palace! β
The leader of the forbidden army saw that Hua Ziwei didn't pay attention to him at all, and hurriedly shouted at the soldiers to stop him, only to see Hua Ziwei pull out a soldier's waist knife, put it on his neck and said: "Whoever stops the old lady today is the one who kills the old lady!" Whoever you want to kill, you can kill whoever you want, and we will never fight back! Rather than being assassinated, it is better to be stabbed quickly, at least we will die clearly, in front of the palace! β
The emperor's henchman eunuch, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that he had no tricks, and hurriedly ran forward and said, "Madame, don't be reckless, and put down the knife!" It's not that Your Majesty doesn't see Madame, it's just that your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and Your Majesty can't spare time. When Your Majesty is free, I will summon Madame! β
"Fart!"
Hua Ziwei said angrily: "Hugh prevaricates with lies! I will give you a quarter of an hour now, and I will go and report to your majesty at once. If your majesty is still busy in a quarter of an hour, then I will give up carrying the dead body to your majestyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The old lady carried the dead body and took the children back to the autonomous region! If the city gate dares to stop it, the old lady will kill out of the city! If you want the old lady to die, the old lady will die vigorously! β
How dare the eunuch say another half a word, and hurriedly send a clever eunuch to quickly pass the word.
If Hua Ziwei took Song Ziyu and others back to the autonomous region, how could she control Song Jiang? If Hua Ziwei died, how could Song Jiang spare them?
Huizong saw that Hua Ziwei had made a killing move, and he didn't dare to make trouble and couldn't end it, so he hurriedly summoned Hua Ziwei. After a courtesy, Hua Ziwei expressed her suspicions: the divine arm bow, the forbidden army saber, the familiar terrain, and a forbidden army waist card that Sun Hongrong picked up after the battle. Huizong could only pretend to be angry, he immediately ordered a re-investigation, and transferred the case to Dali Temple.
Dali Temple will definitely not find out what the result is, it is nothing more than a foolish statement, Zhao Ji has no hope for the result.
What he wants now is how to appease Hua Ziwei, how to give Song Jiang in the autonomous region a reasonable result, fortunately, Song Ziyu is safe and sound, but there will be another time? To be honest, he even had the idea of sending the hostages away. But in order to contain Song Jiang and not allow him to do so in order to retain the royal dignity, he made an astonishing move in desperation: he ordered Song Ziyu to be recognized as a righteous son, Song Jingxin as a righteous daughter, and the two accompanied the prince and the emperor to study. The Tai students of the rest of the autonomous regions were given special food and lodging places in Taixue, and were protected by guards in the Ouchi.
At the same time, Huizong released his words, the Song sisters and brothers already belong to the royal family, and those who dare to assassinate will punish the three clans.
Cai You is not afraid of the fire burning on himself at all, he knows this emperor too well, even if it is really found out that the assassination was instructed by him, the emperor will only demote him, not to mention covering up for himself! Because the two of them have an unbreakable friendship, a pair of iron buddies. They climbed the walls of the palace together and slept together in the beds of the brothels. From the time they met, he was the key to solving problems for Huizong, and Huizong would miss the old.
Looking at the angry Huizong, looking at the Divine Arm Bow and the Forbidden Army Waist Card on the table, Cai You knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" The minister may be responsible for negligence, but the assassination is definitely not done by the forbidden army, and the minister can guarantee it with his head! I hope Your Majesty will see it! β
Huizong sneered: "You pushed it cleanly, doesn't it have anything to do with you?" β
Cai You kowtowed again and said: "Your Majesty is just confused by the illusion, and the preconceived idea is that it is all the fault of the minister, which is all the layout people to induce Your Majesty to think so!" Your Majesty, please think about it carefully, and you will find that this case is full of loopholes. If it was done by a minister, how could he use the equipment of the forbidden army to assassinate, didn't he take the initiative to leave evidence, dig a pit and jump by himself? Not to mention leaving the forbidden army waist card on the scene for people to pick up. β
Huizong was moved, and he said as if he was awake: "What do you mean? Are you saying that this case is a blame? β
"Your Majesty! This is obviously a blame! β
Cai You said: "Leaving such obvious evidence at the scene, the spearhead is pointed at Weichen, and the blame could not be more obvious." Your Majesty imagined that if the assassination was successful, who would be the most unlucky? Who will benefit the most? β
Huizong couldn't help but sigh: "The most unlucky one is, of course, me." If the assassination is successful, Song Jiang will rebel. Now that the imperial court is scattered, some of them are stationed in Yanyun, and there are few soldiers in the capital, how can they stop Song Jiang's mourning soldiers! β
"Your Majesty! The mastermind behind this case used a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, that is, to blame Weichen, and to blame His Majesty, he wanted to set off a big storm! If the assassination is successful, His Majesty will definitely kill the ministers to stop the army. If Song Jiang is mad, the death of the minister will not be able to stop the flames of war, and His Majesty will become a victim again. This plan is interlocking, step by step, and it is a clever plan to blame! β
Huizong listened to Cai You's analysis, and couldn't help but panic in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who does Aiqing think is behind the scenes?" Could it be that the prince peeping into my throne? β
Cai You said mysteriously: "The king is the king, not necessarily the prince!" Your Majesty imagines that if Your Majesty beheads Weichen and still can't quell Song Jiang's rebellion, who will be used to lead the troops to quell the rebellion? β
Huizong gasped, Tong Guan's shadow came into his mind, and he said in contemplation: "Aiqing is not guilty, step down!" β
Cai Youxien retreated, annoyed in his heart: "The original strategy of killing two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect it, but there was a mistake. It's okay to deviate, and if you put Tong down to the bottom, I'm the second prince with a different surname! β
