Chapter 901: The Yellow Sparrow Is Dead (2)

That night, Xiangwang Hongjing had a sweet dream. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the dream, as if his wish had come true, King Yong's Hongyu was retaliated against by Queen Wang because of his handwritten letter, and Wei Tianzi also cut off King Yong's favor in anger because he had just appointed King Yong to supervise the country, but he didn't know that King Yong had done such an ugly thing to frame his eldest brother.

With the loss of power of the former prince Zhao Hongli and Yongwang Zhao Hongyu, he Xiangwang Hongjing sat on the fishing profits and became the prince of the prince, and he was given the privilege of supervising the country.

A few years later, Wei Tianzi died, passing the throne to him.

"Hehehe......"

Even in his sleep, Xiangwang Hongjing couldn't help laughing.

However, after waking up from the dream and looking around, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, after all, in his dream, he was lying on the dragon chair of the Vertical Arch Hall and the Wende Palace, not the study in the Xiangwang Mansion.

But it doesn't matter, because he knows that as long as the handwritten letter of King Yong is delivered to Queen Wang, King Yong's reputation is doomed to collapse.

So Xiangwang Hongjing didn't go anywhere today, just drank in the mansion, and while drinking, he waited for the good news of the court.

As for what the good news is, it goes without saying.

But after waiting for a full day, the court and China were still calm, and there was no news that Yongwang Hongyu was retaliated against by the Wang family, which made Xiangwang Hongjing very surprised.

He summoned Liang Xu, the head of the sect's guard, and asked suspiciously, "Has that kid from Changle really handed over King Yong's letter to Queen Wang?" ”

It's not that he doubts Chang Le, after all, Chang Le is still extremely loyal to him, the problem is that this kid's identity is a little special, that is, his distant cousin and his wife's cousin Chang, so this kid has worried about Xiangwang Hongjing in the past.

"Ask."

Liang Xu, the head of the sect, nodded and walked out of the study.

After a stick of incense, Liang Xu came back again, and said to King Hongjing: "Your Highness, Changle didn't go back to the palace last night. ”

"This guy ......" Xiangwang Hongjing was speechless angrily.

However, at this time, Xiangwang Hongjing did not realize that Chang Le had encountered an accident, after all, Chang Le, a kid, had stayed overnight in Fireworks Willow Lane in the past.

But after waiting for two days in a row, there was still no sign of unfavorability for Yongwang Hongjing from the imperial court and the palace, and when Chang Le did not return to Xiangwang's mansion, Xiangwang Hongjing felt that something was wrong.

You must know that although Chang Le lingers in Fireworks Willow Lane on weekdays, he has never disappeared for two consecutive days and two nights.

"Something's wrong!"

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Xiangwang Hongjing said with an ugly face.

Sure enough, on the third day, Xiangwang Hongjing heard about something: a corpse was picked up in a civil canal in the city.

Xiangwang Hongjing chuckled in his heart, as if he had vaguely guessed something in his heart, and immediately said to Zong Weichang: "Liang Xu, you go immediately to see if it is Changle." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liang Xu, the head of the sect guard, nodded, hurriedly left the mansion, and rode to the Great Liang Mansion on horseback.

Daliang Mansion is in charge of Daliang's public security and civil affairs, although this time a corpse was fished out of the canal, but because it is the people in Daliang City reported to the official, so it is also considered civil, and it needs to be filed in Daliang Mansion and then handed over to Dali Temple to track down the murderer.

When he came to Daliang Mansion, Liang Xu begged to see Zheng Chu Shuli of Daliang Mansion, and casually made an excuse, and finally saw the dead body.

Sure enough, this corpse, which had been soaked in the canal for a long time and seemed to be a little swollen, was the servant of King Xiang's Mansion sent by Xiangwang Hongjing to the palace two days ago to report to the queen and deliver the evidence of King Yong's crime, Chang Le.

After verifying the identity of the corpse, Liang Xu, the head of the sect, carefully searched Chang Le's corpse and found that the evidence of King Yong's guilt had disappeared.

He turned his head and asked Chu Shuli, the head of the Great Liang Mansion, "Lord Chu, when this person was fished up from the canal, did he have any ...... Something special? For example, letters. ”

Chu Shuli glanced at Liang Xu, the head of the sect, probably thinking about something, but he didn't say anything, shook his head and said: "Although this government doesn't know what letter Liang Zongwei is referring to, this government can guarantee that this person was killed first, and then thrown into the canal in the city, and there was no letter in his arms at that time. ”

As he spoke, he briefly explained to Liang Xu, the head of the sect guard

In fact, the reason is very simple, because when Chang Le was fished up, there was no rope on his body, and there was a fatal wound on his back, which means that this person was killed first, and then thrown into the canal; As for the letters, because the ink melts when it encounters water, it will penetrate the paper and stain the clothes, but Chang Le's clothes have no ink at all, so it can be proved that Chang Le did not have any letters on him when he was killed and thrown into the drain.

Liang Xu, the head of the sect's guard, nodded, didn't care about reining in Chang Le's corpse, hurried back to Xiangwang Mansion, and told Xiangwang Hongjing about the assertion of Chu Shuli in Daliang Mansion, only to hear Xiangwang Hongjing's face was full of iron.

"Who is the bad thing for this king?!"

The angry Xiangwang Hongjing smashed many precious playthings in the study.

Think about it, the letter written by King Yong to Cui Xie, what a key piece of evidence it is, enough to bring down King Yong's reputation, but I don't know who spoiled his good deeds.

"Could it be the Crows?"

Liang Xu, the head of the sect guard, asked on the side.

"......" Xiangwang Hongjing was stunned, and then squinted his eyes and did not speak.

In all fairness, because Daliang is the territory of the inner eunuch, therefore, the green crows under the command of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, are very low-key in Daliang, and they are only responsible for collecting some information for Zhao Hongrun.

But even so, there are still some people in the government and the opposition who have learned about the existence of this group of hidden thieves through various special channels, who made the crows have a special status in Daliang, and even the inner guards and eunuchs have maintained a state of non-interference with them.

"You mean...... The eighth? ”

Xiangwang Hongjing asked uncertainly.

Liang Xu, the head of the sect guard, nodded and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Su is different from His Royal Highnesses King Yong and King Qing, he has no interest in the throne. …… Therefore, Luo Ying made Zhao Hongli exempt himself from the title of prince, although it can affect the relationship between His Royal Highness and King Yong and King Qing, but it will not affect the friendship between King Yong and King Su. …… Because King Su was originally the king of Yizhu Yong. ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and continued: "Therefore, could it be that King Su heard something, so he asked the crows to kill Chang Le and intercept the letter from King Yong?" ”

Xiangwang Hongjing pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "The eighth has this strength, but this matter should not be done by him...... If he really did it, then, according to his character, he would have come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and threw the letter of King Yong on the face of this king. ”

In the eyes of Xiangwang Hongjing, if his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun really intercepted the letter, he would definitely be able to guess where the letter came from, after all, this is a letter written by King Yong to the late Cui Xie, the general of the Northern First Army.

Therefore, as long as he glanced at it, Zhao Hongrun would guess that Liu Yi killed Cui Xie and got the letter.

This means that Zhao Hongrun will also guess that Liu Yi killed Cui Xie and seized the evidence that was very fatal to King Yong, mostly because of the instructions of his Xiangwang Zhao Hongjing.

Therefore, according to Zhao Hongrun's personality and relationship with King Yong, His Royal Highness King Su, who acted domineeringly, would definitely ask the teacher for his guilt and throw the letter in his face on the spot.

But at the moment, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun is delayed in the future, which shows that it is someone else's hand.

But...... Who could it be?

"Is it the second one?"

Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, was speculating here, and he suddenly heard the news that it was King Yongwang Hongyu who came to visit.

I have to say that this really scared King Xiang Zhao Hongjing half to death, and I thought it was really a leak.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing found that the second brother's face was ordinary, not like he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

On the contrary, when the brothers were drinking together, Yongwang Hongyu vigorously wooed Xiangwang Hongjing and made all kinds of promises vaguely, which made Xiangwang Hongjing stunned.

In fact, Xiangwang Hongjing didn't know, in fact, at the beginning, Yongwang Hongyu was also doubting whether Cui Xie's cause of death had anything to do with Xiangwang Hongjing, so he listened to Zhang Qigong's suggestion and reported to the Zongfu that a set of seals was missing.

In this way, if Xiangwang Hongjing really took out the letter, Yongwang Hongyu would also be able to defend himself, although he said that he wanted to cover up the meaning, but it was better than doing nothing, right?

But to the surprise of King Yong, he waited for three days, and he didn't see King Xiang Hongjing attacking him, seeing that the hundreds of officials in the court gradually became accustomed to his attention to King Yong's prison country, King Yong gradually dispelled his suspicions about King Xiang, and felt that Cui Xie might really have made a mistake, so he died in that camp mutiny.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, Yongwang Hongyu still came to Xiangwang's mansion in person and tested Xiangwang Hongjing, and it was this temptation that dispelled Xiangwang Hongjing's suspicion of Yongwang.

Think about it, if Chang Le was killed by the people of King Yong's party, then the letter would inevitably fall into the hands of King Yong, so King Yong would inevitably suspect that Liu Yi had killed Cui Xie, and at the same time, he would also suspect that Liu Yi did this at the behest of King Xiang.

But since King Yong made a statement to test the cause of Cui Xie's death, this shows that Chang Le was not killed by people from King Yong's family.

Of course, Xiangwang Hongjing also doubted whether King Yong did this on purpose, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that King Yong did not have this need.

After all, at the moment when the former prince of the East Palace is losing power, King Yong, who is in charge of the country, has become the most powerful candidate for the succession to the throne, and whether to win over him or not to win over King Xiang Hongjing to suppress King Qing Zhao Hongxin, in fact, the difference is not big, after all, King Qing Zhao Hongxin is different from the former Prince of the East Palace, Zhao Hongli, his problem is very big, just because he has sheltered Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, it is destined that King Qing Zhao Hongxin will not be loved by Wei Tianzi.

"Who could that be?"

Xiangwang Hongjing really couldn't figure it out.

After a few days like this, the court was still calm, and King Yongwang Hongyu began to supervise the country, and there was no sign of collapse, which made King Xiangwang Hongjing very depressed.

finally seized the opportunity to have a praying mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind, and in one fell swoop overthrew the East Palace and King Yong, and enjoyed the benefits of the fisherman, but the yellow finch didn't know who killed him.

Seeing that King Yongwang Hongyu took advantage of the convenience of the prison country to gain momentum in the court, Xiangwang Hongjing was extremely depressed in his heart.

Suddenly, one day, he talked to the advisor Liu Jie about this matter, Liu Jie touched his chin and said: "Your Highness, all these things you are thinking about are based on 'Chang Le didn't have time to hand over the letter to Queen Wang', but what if Queen Wang got the letter?" ”

Xiangwang Hongjing was stunned when he heard this, and then a contemplative expression appeared on his face.

What if the queen had got the letter?

Does this mean that Queen Wang protected King Yong?

But why did she do that?

King Yong, that is the enemy who brought down her son! It's the son of her old vendetta, Concubine Shi!

“…… Interesting. ”

Licking his lips, Xiangwang Hongjing showed a slight elusive smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
