Chapter 365: Assassin Suspicion (Second Update)

After leaving the court hall of Xianyang Palace, several of Yinggao's henchmen did not disperse, but all followed Yinggao to the side hall where he usually dealt with government affairs, and what he did was nothing else, of course, it was the assassination incident that happened just now that if it was spread out, it might be a big thing that shocked Daqin.

Don't look at Yinggao as the emperor, after being assassinated in the court before, he really didn't feel surprised, as if nothing had happened, when the assassin shot down several Yinggao's guards with a poisonous needle hidden in his mouth in advance, Yinggao's heart was really abrupt, and almost instantly sweat soaked his clothes.

And if it weren't for Yinggao's quick reaction, the two guards in front of him were shot down and quickly got under the table, which might not have happened.

This assassination, although it was effectively controlled because of the number of guards present, but the thrill in this was real, once any link reacted a little slowly, the result was that Yinggao hung up on the spot.

So for this assassination, Ying Gao has already made up his mind, no matter what, he must find out the main messenger behind the scenes, he can do other things, and now that he has paid attention to his life, of course he can't bear it.

Ying Gao knew in his heart that if it weren't for the reminder of the Zhu family before, and the fact that he and the Zhu family had made a lot of targeted arrangements in today's court, and even at the beginning of the school examination, he and the Zhu family had targeted the real assassin and Peng Yue, two slightly suspicious people, he estimated that he would really be in danger today.

Because he really didn't expect that using his mouth to launch a hidden weapon, something that only he could see in the TV series in his previous life, turned out to be a real existence in this dynasty, and the unthinkable things are often the ones who can kill themselves.

"What do you think of today's Assassins?"

After sitting down in his side hall, Ying Gao first sent Lu Jia away, because he really couldn't help him here for today's matter, and it didn't make sense for him to know a lot of things.

After Lu Jia left, Yinggao opened his mouth, obviously, these people saw with their own eyes what the assassin looked like at that time, their opinions, Yinggao is also very important, and another is that he himself has looked at the assassin for a long time, but there are no obvious characteristics, that is, the origin of this assassin, Yinggao really has no clue in his heart.

The first to speak was still the Zhu family, the Zhu family didn't study anything else, what they studied was Yinggao's safety issues, something really happened today, although Yinggao was fine, but the Zhu family was still very unhappy in their hearts, he thought that if he could have told Yinggao about his worries earlier, maybe this assassin wouldn't even be able to enter Xianyang City today, he said last night, obviously it was a little late.

"Your Majesty, the assassin is skillful, and knows a little about the new policy, so that he can not leak a flaw in his previous speech, there must be someone in this Xianyang City who colluded with him, otherwise it is impossible for this assassin to appear here at this time, and enter my Great Qin's court instead of a person."

Obviously, the Zhu family's statement is still the same as what he was worried about last night, that is, among the Great Qin nobles in Xianyang City, there must be someone who looks at Yinggao unpleasantly, so he took a risk and used the dead man to assassinate him in the court.

It's just that in front of these people, what the Zhu family said was not so direct, because among the people standing in front of her, Meng Yi was the patriarch of the largest family in Xianyang City, and Feng Quji's family had completely ranked among the top families in Xianyang City after operating in Xianyang City for many years, and the son of the other family was still the emperor's father-in-law, so the Zhu family naturally couldn't say too much.

After the Zhu family finished speaking, Yinggao did not answer, because what the Zhu family thought in their hearts, he knew too well, the two of them discussed this matter for half an hour last night, and he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but turned his head to look at Meng Yi and Feng Quji, who were standing in front of him.

With the qualifications of these two old fritters, Yinggao obviously knew what they meant when he looked at them, so Meng Yi, who was the first of the three princes, knew that when it was time for him to take on a little responsibility, he stood up and opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, today's assassination is obviously something that has been planned for a long time, and it is similar to the assassination of the First Emperor by Jing Ke back then, this assassin has obviously been preparing for a long time, and this is finally waiting for such an opportunity, so in my opinion, this should be the work of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms scattered in the Central Plains of my Great Qin!"

Meng Yi's statement was obviously not the same as the Zhu family, he didn't even mention the things in Xianyang City, but directly pointed the finger at Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang who wanted to restore the country for the Six Kingdoms.

This statement made the Zhu family very dissatisfied in their hearts, he was a straight man, and through the protection of Lu Jia during this time, he had already seen that many old Qin nobles were all mercenary, and for their own interests, these guys did everything, Meng Yi said this, obviously protecting those old Qin nobles with the same identity as him.

"Taiwei's words, I can't agree, now the remnants of the six countries have been purged by the king, almost only Xiang Yu is left, and Xiang Yu and that Zhang Liang and others are far away on the border of the Xiongnu, and they are still hiding from General Meng Tian's pursuit in a hurry just now, how can they have the mind to arrange a well-planned assassination in Xianyang City, which is thousands of miles away, if there is no powerful internal response in Xianyang City, this person should not even be able to enter the city gate of Xianyang City!"

When it comes to issues of principle, the Zhu family doesn't care who the other party is, he has the courage, he knows in his heart that when he followed Yinggao, Yinggao didn't have a single cronie around him, although you Meng Yi is a captain, but wasn't he also a nobleman of your Mengshi clan before?

"The people who live in Xianyang City are all people of Lao Qin, there will be no such people!"

"That's ...... a mistake"

Obviously, Meng Yi was also very annoyed by the Zhu family's behavior of directly wanting to pour dirty water on the old Qin nobles, according to the Zhu family, those who dared to do this in Xianyang City and had the ability to do so, wasn't that the old Qin nobles?

It is impossible for ordinary people to be of any help to such an assassin, and the household registration system in Xianyang City is very strict, and it is basically difficult for ordinary people to hide anyone in their homes, only some nobles who are raised in the mansion are not included in the household registration registration, and Meng Yi knows these things.

At this time, Yinggao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then stretched out his hand and pressed the stop button on the Zhu family, who still wanted to argue.

"Wait, now is not the time for the two of you to quarrel, Zhu family, you lean over and do what I say, if you are lucky, you will see you tonight!"

Of course, Yinggao knew that it was impossible for Meng Yi to participate in this incident, in such a situation, in his heart, of course, other old Qin nobles also gave him the same, they were all loyal to Great Qin and loyal to the First Emperor, so for Yinggao, they must not use such tricks.

Meng Yi's energy has been almost all on the court of Great Qin over the years, and he hasn't put too much effort into his family, so in fact, his impression of these old Qin nobles is basically still stuck when the First Emperor didn't die.

He didn't believe that these families, which had been inherited for hundreds of years in Lao Qin's realm, and some of them were even hundreds of years old, could do such a foolish thing.

At this time, seeing Yinggao seemed to have thought of some way, Meng Yi was also very much looking forward to it, because if he really saw any clues tonight, it would be a good thing to prove the innocence of these old Qin nobles.

The Zhu family received the order to leave, but the rest of the people did not leave, in other words, Yinggao did not let them go, they knew that tonight was likely to be a sleepless night, and they were likely to witness a bloody storm, but they didn't know where this wind would blow.

When the tension was in the Xianyang Palace, Chen Ping, who came out at the end, walked out of the Xianyang Palace, and the onlookers near the Xianyang Palace basically knew, this guy might be the lucky one, as for Peng Yue, who came out almost at the same time as Chen Ping and was carried by someone, people thought that this old boy said something that should not be said in the Xianyang Palace, so that the emperor punished him a little.

At the same time, many sharp-eyed people also discovered that when they entered, it was twenty, and when they came out, it became nineteen. Where did the rest go?

"Could it be that this talent is too highly educated, and he was directly left in the palace by the emperor?"

"No matter how high this talent is, can he still be higher than the two of them? In my opinion, I'm afraid that this person is already more than lucky, you see that the person who came out before was really beaten and his flesh was broken, if this is a scholar who is not in good health, maybe he will be killed directly in it. ”

"Killed? Can't you? If you kill it, you have to throw it out, otherwise wouldn't it defile the court of Great Qin? ”

Looking at the lively Xianyang people, they almost guessed where the disappeared man had gone, but none of them thought that that guy was an assassin.

Of course, some people asked the nineteen people who came out before, but they got only one answer, that is, 'I don't know'.

This matter is just a matter of finding a talking point for the people in Xianyang City for their boring days after tea and dinner, but for the spies sent by the old guy who advocates assassination, it is not a good thing.

The person their patriarch brought them to their attention was the one who didn't come out after entering, and although they didn't know what this person was doing, according to their patriarch, this person was very important to them.

As a result, most of the people who watched the excitement dispersed, and these two people were still wandering around the place outside the gate of Xianyang Palace, and they still had a glimmer of hope, wanting to see if that person would be as some people guessed, because his talent was too outstanding and the emperor kept him for a short while.

But soon, more than half an hour passed, and the man still didn't come out, and the two of them finally realized that he didn't seem to be able to get out today, or he couldn't get out of it all his life, so. After discussing it, the two decided not to wait, and hurried back to report to the head of the family.

The patriarch of the dead doctor's family can be regarded as waiting in his own mansion for almost half a day, this matter is too important for him, he even prepared a few of his cronies, once there is good news from the Xianyang Palace, someone will immediately rush to Nanhai County to ask Fusu, and when Fusu becomes the emperor of Daqin as he wishes, this first merit is naturally that he can't run.

Just when he was in a nervous mood and looking forward to the outcome of this matter, the two people he had sent to guard around Xianyang Palace came back.

"How's it going?"

"Patriarch, there are twenty people who have entered the Xianyang Palace, nineteen of them have already walked out of the Xianyang Palace, only the person you told us about before is missing, and the two of us have been waiting outside the Xianyang Palace for nearly half an hour, and the person still has not appeared, so the two of us came back to tell the matter."

"The man didn't come out? What happened in the Xianyang Palace, and what did the people who came out say? ”

"This ...... Xianyang Palace was as usual, and the other nineteen people did not mention that person, only knowing that one of them was afraid that he had passed the emperor's examination, but he walked out of Xianyang Palace later than the rest of them. ”

As soon as this situation was spoken, the patriarch knew that this matter should be finished.

As for why the assassin didn't come out, then it goes without saying, he must have been killed in Xianyang Palace, if he succeeded in the assassination, the remaining nineteen people would not be able to get out, who let them go in together, obviously the nineteen people have successfully completed the task, he doesn't know where to go, except for failure, there is no second explanation at all.

In this house, in addition to the patriarch in his sixties, there is also a Korean doorman who has been giving advice on this matter.

As soon as the Korean doorman heard the news, his face suddenly became grim, the person who carried out the assassination, this patriarch had not seen it, but it cleared a lot of obstacles for him to enter Xianyang Palace, in short, all the things that left traces were done by the patriarch of this old Qin noble, and he has always been behind the scenes.
