Chapter 113: The Wind is Blowing
The assassination of the emperor caused a great deal of turmoil in the capital, and the government publicly stated that this was the work of the remnants of the previous dynasty. In order to search for the sins of the previous dynasty, the government dispatched a large number of people to search from house to house.
"He's trying to take the opportunity to take you away!" Luo Ci sat in the courtyard, holding the stove in his hand and looking at Luo Shize: "You should go." ”
Oh, yes! He should go, otherwise he will be involved in the national teacher!
At the same time, not only Luo Shize, Luo Ci herself can't continue to stay, no matter what, she is also the eldest princess of the previous dynasty!
Not long after Luo Shize went out, the people of Qingzao were already waiting, and they left immediately after receiving someone without much words. And as soon as they left the city, the gates were sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
"Auntie is still in town!" Luo Shize was a little anxious.
"The princess said, the eldest princess is smart and clever, and she will definitely be fine!" The subordinate explained that the carriage had no intention of stopping.
"Where else can my aunt go?" Luo Shize was a little puzzled.
In fact, Luo Ci didn't go out of the city, but secretly ran into the palace quite calmly, and the south fence was built by her, even if she lived for a small time, it took a lot of effort. The most important thing is that this place is impossible for ordinary people to completely understand even if they turn it upside down!
The Shadow Man had lived in the South Fence for so long, but still hadn't found anything!
There are not many people who Luo Ci brought into the palace, only Yiying, Shuge and a few secret guards, and Zhen Sizheng still followed the national teacher openly, as did the others in the small courtyard. Anyway, these people have already appeared in front of everyone, and who doesn't know that they are the people of the national teacher? Even if Lin Chenan wants to arrest them, there must be enough evidence!
When Luo Ci arrived at the South Fence, she did not immediately go deeper, but waited in place. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qiao Yanran to come with the killer.
"I knew you were here!" Qiao Yanran smiled.
"Let's go!" Luo Ci didn't hesitate, and disappeared directly into the depths of the south fence with people.
During the whole process, no one even noticed them!
"Back to Your Majesty, I have already searched it, and Luo Shize is not there with the national teacher at all!" The general returned.
"How is that possible?" Lin Chen'an was a little incredulous, and thought of a possibility in an instant: "The people who were present that day, give me an investigation!" ”
They blocked the city gate for the first time, and when they searched it, they went to the national teacher for the first time, but the person was gone, which is enough to show that the people present that day must have a spy!
In fact, this idea is very one-sided, and even the general can't look at it: "Your Majesty, if this is what they did, they will definitely evacuate as soon as possible!" ”
But Lin Chen'an couldn't listen anymore: "If you can't find it, you will kill them all!" ”
The general suddenly looked up.
When Beiyan was destroyed, the court was already in ruins, and due to the infighting in the court, the forces in the frontier were also divided into two, one part was the Qiao family who supported Beiyan, and the other part was people like him who were already desperate. So after Lin Chen'an ascended the throne, he chose to support it.
What kind of person was Lin Chenan at that time? Spirited, free and arrogant, even under the control of the Queen Mother, he can still adhere to his principles, love thoroughly, hate thoroughly! At that time, Lin Chen'an was never bloodthirsty, and he was not even interested in the court. But he is the emperor, so he still has to clean up the court, but in this process, he can still tolerate good ministers from different camps.
Now, what's going on?
At this juncture, the general suddenly thought of Lin Cai'er, such a selfish, narrow-minded and violent woman, he thought that Lin Chen'an would not be like that!
Everything is just a contrast!
The general sighed without a trace and retreated. After going out, he ordered his subordinates to detain all the subordinates who were present that day, but he did not intend to interrogate, but only asked people to ensure their safety, and then continued to go out of the palace to search.
Just in the panic of a group of people, it's going to be the New Year again!
At this time, Lin Chen'an had calmed down a lot, but the whole person seemed to have become a little nervous, and he still brought a lot of secret guards with him, and he also promoted a little-known little eunuch. Even the usual food has to be tested for poison.
"Your Majesty, the list of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has been prepared, please look at it!" Ding Hai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and started to play respectfully.
"Withdraw!" Lin Chen'an's words made everyone present begin to doubt their ears.
Withdrawn?
"This is the first New Year after the death of the Queen Mother, and the whole country should mourn!" Lin Chen'an did not pay attention to the reactions of the people below: "From Chinese New Year's Eve until the beginning of the New Year, no one is allowed to celebrate in a big way." ”
"This ......" Ding Hai was a little embarrassed, but he could only respond: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”
"Your Majesty, is there any change in the matter of sacrificing to the heavens?" Prime Minister Guo asked.
"It's all simple!" Lin Chen'an seemed to be very tired, but after answering a few words, he got up to leave: "Okay, the rest will be submitted to me, and I will review it!" ”
After Lin Chen'an left, everyone began to look at each other. This is the first time this kind of thing has happened, and the New Year was originally a happy thing, even if the Queen Mother died, there was no reason to completely cancel it!
"Alas, let's go, let's go!" The officials walked out as they spoke.
Jiang Yan was still the last to leave, he looked at the direction in which Lin Chen'an left, didn't say anything, and left the court with the flow of people.
"Master Jiang, what do you think about this matter?"
Jiang Yan was walking, and there was one more person beside him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Ding Hai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. He first saluted, and then said: "I don't have any opinion, I am also a person, this year is too much, there is not much difference!" ”
While speaking, he suddenly thought of the little woman hidden at home, and suddenly felt that it was actually canceled, so that he could spend Chinese New Year's Eve with Wen Wen at home!
It's beautiful to think about!
Entertainment is prohibited during the Chinese New Year! This decree made many people dissatisfied, but in the face of imperial power, they couldn't say a word, so they could only discuss it in private. And Lin Chen'an's name is to keep filial piety for the Queen Mother, which is even more dissatisfied, and three months of national mourning is enough, but now it's almost a year, which filial piety is kept?
So some people naturally thought of the assassination not long ago.
"Eh, you say, didn't you catch the murderer?" There was a whisper in the restaurant.
"Be quiet!" The person next to him reminded: "Didn't you say that the previous dynasty wanted to be evil? How can it be so easy to get caught? I see, this is clearly afraid! ”
Not far away, the shopkeeper looked up at them.
And they are still talking unconsciously!
"Don't move!" Suddenly, a squad of officers and soldiers broke in, which made everyone jump: "They! Yes, that's them! Take! ”
The person he was pointing to happened to be the same person who had just talked about the murderer.
"Dare to talk about Your Majesty, who else is impatient?" After taking the people away, the officers and soldiers did not leave, but sat down with great fanfare: "This officer wants to listen, who else?" ”
At this time, some people who were close to the door couldn't help but run, and the rest of the people saw that the government did not stop them, and they also ran out of the restaurant one after another.
For a while, there were new rumors in the market. Today, Your Majesty's ears and eyes are all over the sky, and the people will be severely punished for discussing the government and politics!
No matter how noisy Lin Chen'an is, the Luo family is very calm.
Luo Ci was originally in the palace, and there was a secret room hidden in the depths of the south fence that others didn't know, and this was not an ordinary secret room at all, but like a beautifully decorated palace, with all kinds of supplies. And this palace is not even completely underground, but the part that is exposed to the ground is covered by all kinds of vines and weeds, and it is impossible to see it without setting fire to it.
"Ah Wei, this place is so good, I don't want to leave after staying for a long time!" Qiao Yanran was lazily lying on a beauty couch, covered with white fox skin, which looked very warm.
In the middle of the room, a charcoal fire was burning, and there was no smoke at all, which was clearly a silver silk carbon that only nobles could use!
Luo Ci was holding a book to read, and when he heard this, he just smiled and said, "There will be more opportunities in the future!" ”
She raised her eyes and looked not far away, and through this period of time, she figured out that the killer and Yiying had a surprising relationship, and the most direct manifestation was that the killer was willing to guide Yiying. Shuge was also watching them, but he didn't mean to learn, as if he was just watching.
"Isn't it awkward that you just call him that all day long?" Luo Ci once again asked this question: "You give him a serious name!" ”
This is the second time Luo Ci has mentioned this in front of Qiao Yanran, which fully proves that she really cares about this issue. So Qiao Yanran responded softly: "I want to think about it!" ”
The sound was not loud, but the killer heard it clearly, and instantly threw down Yiying and rushed to Qiao Yanran's side, looking at her expectantly, as if she was a puppy waiting to be fed.
"Poof!" Qiao Yanran finally couldn't help laughing: "He doesn't mind, why should he have a name?" ”
The killer looked at Qiao Yanran with a persistent expression and explained seriously: "I want it!" ”
"Even so, you might as well follow my Qiao family's surname, and it's okay to have a single name?" Qiao Yanran tilted her head and looked at the killer.
Before Luo Ci could say anything, the killer nodded seriously in approval.
Luo Ci was helpless in an instant, you must know that Qiao Yanran is usually the most improper, when she was a little girl, the pets she raised had a common name, that is-Qiao Tong!
Luo Ci is peaceful here, and so is the green jujube.
The ups and downs in the city did not spread too much outside the city, and due to the location of their courtyard, no one had ever searched the door, not even a word of questioning.
Qing Zao only focuses on studying the current form every day and deploying other arrangements, and the people in the night tower are only responsible for protecting the small courtyard, and they train hard when they are idle.
As for Luo Shize, he is here for a vacation at all, and he doesn't have to worry about anything. Even if he knew that Lin Chenan's assassination was done by Qing Zao, he didn't have the slightest reaction.
