Song Zhong and Wang Du came out of Zhu Yunwen's room, glanced at each other, and sighed that His Royal Highness is really a benevolent king, and he has saved thousands of lives at this moment. Song Zhong summoned all the martial arts officials and announced the emperor's edict first, everyone was shocked, Qu Neng even felt that there was such a catastrophe in his fate, and he was involved in the Lanyu case back then, but fortunately, the king of Shu protected him with all his might, so he was not held accountable. When it came to martial arts, especially yesterday, I thought that I had become the henchman of the imperial grandson, and the future was promising, but I didn't expect that the imperial grandson was assassinated, and the injury was so serious, this is something that has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that he is in a catastrophe. Just when everyone was desperate to accept their fate, Song Zhong said that His Royal Highness would take it upon him and appealed to the emperor to retract his fate, but he hoped that everyone would do their best to track down the assassin and repay His Royal Highness and the emperor. At this time, Song Zhong gave Wang Du a look, Wang Du also smiled slightly, and understood what Song Zhong meant, this is a good sale for His Highness, everyone present will be grateful to His Highness, and will be more loyal to His Highness, and Song Zhong also left a way back for himself.

Then Song Zhong began to assign tasks, because of the confession, Qi De was already collecting, so he asked the staff room and Jinyiwei's people to interrogate, record, and investigate one by one. Everyone received the task, and they were all in good spirits, like chicken blood, and everyone worked hard for the food guy on their neck.

Then Song Zhong and Wang Du led people to the scene of the assassination, and Qi De protected the scene immediately after the incident, and there are already Jinyi guards surveying. Song Zhong and his entourage arrived, and someone immediately came over to give a salute: "My lord, you are here." ”

Song Zhong said: "How is it, Lao Liu, do you see something?" ”

Lao Liu thought for a while and said, "My lord, I think that there are at least two people in this assassination, one is arson, and one is assassinated here." ”

"How can you see it, can't it be that after arson, you will be assassinated here?"

"My lord, please see, this is a forest, the assassin shot arrows under this tree, the bow and arrow have been checked by the guard, it is the standard equipment of martial arts, not a foreign bow and arrow, look at the grass and soil here, the grass has fallen a large area, and there are many footprints on the soil, it can be seen that someone has been here for a long time, indicating that his assassination was premeditated. It can be assumed that His Highness was seen going out at the end of the day, so the Assassin and his accomplices prepared for the assassination operation, and one went to steal the bow and arrow, and then ran here to wait for His Highness to pass by, and one person was responsible for setting fires, and from the time the fire went to His Highness here, at least half an hour had passed, and this person should have been waiting here. ”

"Lao Liu, did you send someone to see the fire?"

"I went, but it was all burned, and I couldn't see any traces at all, but I found the door lock of the weapons storehouse, although it was partially burned, but it can be seen that it was pried open, which confirmed the judgment of the humble position, the bow and arrow came from the warehouse of martial arts."

"Also, my lord, you see, it's around the ugly hour, today is the end of the month, the moonlight is dim, let's put out the torch now." Lao Liu beckoned, everyone extinguished the torches, the surroundings were dark, Lao Liu stayed for a while, waited for everyone's eyes to adapt, and said: "Everyone, please see, in this archery position, in fact, you can't see the situation of the people in the cafeteria, obviously, there is only one chance to assassinate His Highness, so they will plan carefully." He invited His Highness's bodyguard Zhang Tie to describe His Highness's team, and let people learn to walk on the road. Adults, please take a look. ”

Everyone looked over in the dark, and suddenly found that Zhu Yunwen's position was not clear here, everyone looked back at Lao Liu, and Lao Liu smiled: "That's true, if you ambush here, and His Highness walks through here, it's actually useless, and you can't assassinate it." But the Assassins chose this position, why? ”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and shook their heads. Song Zhong patted Lao Liu's head: "Come on, you are a turtle grandson, and your head is bright, but this problem of showing off can't be changed." ”

Lao Liu shook his head and said with a hippie smile: "My lord, you have to say it clearly." ”

Song Zhong raised his hand to fight again, Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, my lord, you see, the humble position is also puzzled, and then I suddenly remembered that the warehouse was on fire at that time, and it was like daylight here, and the humble position also asked Zhang Guard, it was very bright at the time, and there was no problem at all when walking, so the fire not only had the effect of creating chaos, but also the role of lighting." ”

Hearing this, Song Zhong and Wang Du immediately turned ugly, and said at the same time: "Lao Liu, what do you mean?" ”

"Two adults, from the location of His Highness's assassination, you can directly see the fire, so this place is carefully designed. And it must not be a day's work, it is likely that the assassination plan was determined before His Highness came to the martial arts. ”

"But since the construction of the martial arts began, few outsiders have come in, except for the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, that is, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, can you say?" Wang Du asked.

"My lord, I also have this question, the more I think about it, the more doubts I have, you see, this forest is almost out of sight, how can the other party determine the location of this tree? Adults can take a look, this tree is the best shooting position, if it is off, its shooting angle will be very small, maybe His Highness will pass in a flash, only here, from this angle, you can have the most ample time to assassinate Your Highness. ”

"The students who have asked the martial arts students are all said that these trees are original, and some of them were eradicated during the construction of martial arts, so a forest was formed, and you look up, my lord," Lao Liu raised the torch upward, "There is a pimple on it, which is very smooth, indicating that people often come to touch this pimple, this person must be an assassin, because he has to quickly find this tree in the dark, because he is afraid of problems, so he often comes to practice." Judging from the height of the pimple, this man is a big man, a head taller than the lowly position, at least half a head, and he can be hooked on tiptoe. ”

"Why can't it be a little guy jumping up?"

"No, if it's a small person, there will inevitably be a small pit when it falls, and it will definitely be obvious over the years, but the lowly post has checked, no, and there is no trace of destroying evidence often with his feet, so the humiliation thinks that this person is a tall man."

Song Zhong and Wang Du's faces became more and more ugly, Song Zhong was silent for a while, and asked, "Lao Liu, can you tell your conclusion." ”

"Yes, my lord, this is how I see it, this assassination is premeditated for a long time, the planning is very clever, the killer archery is very good, and the fact that he can shoot such a fast and accurate arrow in the dark night with standard equipment shows that it is extraordinary. Major General Qu was agile, but even if he only pushed His Highness half a foot away, the arrow still shot at His Highness's shoulder. Therefore, the premeditated assassination is believed to have started at the time of the construction of martial arts, which may include craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, officials from other departments, considering everything including weather, moonlight, etc., to plan this plan, and there are at least two people, one to cover and one to assassinate, of course, there may be countless people behind the planning. ”

"What we can catch is the Assassin standing here, depending on his height and skill, he can lower the range, and this person will definitely come to this place often, if he doesn't come during the day, then he will definitely disappear for a while at night, and then he will appear after a while. As for the other assassin, it is difficult to find out, but it is not impossible, if the two know each other, they must be in constant contact, if they do not know each other, they will inevitably contact a third person, and then the third person will assign tasks. ”

"When examining the students, it is also necessary to pay attention to the people who are not under the eyelids of everyone before and after the middle of the day, because this person must be monitoring His Highness, which is the residence of the sacrificial wine, and this person must have followed His Highness for a period of time, and made sure that His Highness was far away from the residence before starting to act, so that when the fire broke out, His Highness was very likely to rush to the scene, and if His Highness was in the residence, he might not come out. The lowly will be on the lookout for possible surveillance points near the sacrificial quarters in a moment. Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, this person is by His Highness's side. ”

"What?" Song Zhong and Wang Du looked at each other in shock, if this is the case, then His Highness is in danger. Song Zhong took the brocade guard and ran quickly to Zhu Yunwen's residence, and Wang Du ran behind with a breathless breath.

Lao Liu looked at their backs and said: "These two adults can't hold their breath at all, if something happens, it will happen a long time ago, I just say it's a possibility." ”

......

Song Zhong ran to Zhu Yunwen's side, broke in directly, and found that Zhu Yunwen was asleep, only Imperial Doctor Zhang was napping in the house, Qu Tao was lying on the small bed next to him, snoring, and there were four guards guarding outside. Zhu Yunwen was woken up by the sound of footsteps, opened his eyes, looked at Song Zhong suspiciously, and asked, "General Song, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Song Zhong took a few breaths and said: "Your Highness, Jinyiwei has already surveyed the scene, and has come to the following conclusions, the assassins have at least two or more people, and there is collusion with the Ministry of Industry or other officials, this assassination has been planned for at least half a year, if it weren't for His Highness Hongfu Qitian and General Qu Xiao sacrificing their lives to save them, everything would be over." ”

"To be specific, General Song." Speaking of this, Wang Du also felt it, and said to Zhu Yunwen breathlessly: "Your Highness is really fateful this time, I am afraid when I think about it." ”

"Zizhong, what's wrong? Is it that serious? ”

Wang Du glanced at Song Zhong, Song Zhong nodded, Wang Du recounted Lao Liu's words just now, Wang Du's narration was much more vivid than the original author Lao Liu, more fascinating, after listening, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it turned out that since he automatically decided to create martial arts, someone was eyeing him, and he wanted to assassinate him, since martial arts was created by himself, he would come over to inspect sooner or later, they just had to wait. Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, looking at the darkness outside the window, who did he offend? Who had the power to plan this assassination? And there are quite a few people involved. But since that old Liu has analyzed to this extent, it shouldn't be difficult to arrest people.

Zhu Yunwen immediately said: "This old Liu is rewarded, General Song and Zizhong immediately went to investigate, there must be results, I feel that the emperor will not give us too much time, we must hurry." In addition, let General Qu Neng come over and take care of General Qu Xiao. There are also locks to take all the craftsmen involved in the construction of martial arts, be careful not to scare them, do not use torture easily, but be sure to find out who is helping the assassins. also sent someone to inform the emperor, asking Ren Hengtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to participate in the interrogation, and this matter must be investigated. ”

The two of them received the order, and more brocade guards were added outside, and the three layers inside and three layers outside the residence were fenced off, and there were also four brocade guards standing opposite the four guards, Zhang Tie and the others were very puzzled, but the imperial grandson agreed, they didn't say anything, anyway, there are many people, and His Royal Highness is safer.

When it was almost dawn, Changfu and Liu Zhen came back and read out the holy decree, and everyone was even more nervous, in order to run with life, they forgot to sleep and eat.
