Chapter 12: Round Lies

Feng Jue has found a scapegoat, but he doesn't want to take the credit alone. Yin Yangtong of the original Shuntian Mansion has been imprisoned, and the remaining yamen are all frightened, and his soldiers are running around the streets, just to find assassins or possible clues. This kind of move was like looking for a needle in a haystack, Feng Jue naturally disdained it, not to mention that he vaguely sensed in his heart that there was something else in this assassination, so he put the chess piece that had not been moved for a long time on the table.

The people who were arrested and killed just now were all spies sent to the capital by the Burmese clan in the southwest, who had taken root in the capital for many years, and were engaged in some silk and satin business on weekdays, and had contacts with many wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Through these giants, the spies also made friends with many unfamiliar court officials, and gave gifts from time to time. Because they were extremely cautious and rarely made any unusual movements, the yamen in the capital did not pay attention to these movements at all. Feng Jue also discovered this stronghold during a routine inspection, and for some reason, although he closely monitored their every move, he kept it secret and did not report it, just to obtain greater benefits in the future, and now it really came in handy.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too few reliable people under his hands, and the secret people couldn't show the wind, Feng would never use the few around him. Hurriedly rearranged the scene according to the previous experience, put the stolen documents and other items back in their original places, and then arranged the tunnel to look like it was not ready to use, and Feng Jue began the next step.

"Tai'a, send someone to invite Lord Zhang Qianzhang and Lord Yang Zhen Yang to come here." He commanded, but his eyes looked at the frightened subordinates, "I'll keep your mouths shut later, this time is different from the past, in case there is an omission, let alone life, it is difficult to say whether a whole corpse can be left." ”

Tai'a said yes and left in a hurry, and the rest of the people bowed down and answered: "Only the order of the adults is obeyed!" "As Feng Jue's cronies, they are already idle people under Feng Zheng's hands, and now that they are back in power, how can they not get along with their bosses? What's more, this adult's methods are insidious and vicious, they have all seen it, and the only remaining betrayal is also dispelled after many irregularities for him. In the words of Feng Jue, as a secret agent, if you stick to the rules and regulations, you can't do anything well.

Zhang Gan commanded tens of thousands of horses and horses in the infantry army to command the yamen, and his official position was the commander of the five battalions of the Jiumen Infantry Army, which is commonly known as the commander of the Nine Gates, and he was also regarded as a military attache in the capital with many civil officials. Due to the large number of friends in the court, the emperor deliberately chose him to lead the military power of the capital, not only to ensure the safety of the palace, but also to deter those courtiers with ill intentions. However, there was such a big case on his ground, and Zhang Qian was also anxious. Hearing that Feng Jue was invited, he didn't say a word, and immediately put aside his subordinates and rushed over with only two relatives.

As for Yang Zhen, he is the same sect of Yin Yang Tong of Shuntian Mansion, although that sect brother has been imprisoned, it does not mean that he will be able to sit in the position of Yin of Shuntian Mansion. In the past few days, he has sent many errands, like a sieve, to go through several suspicious places, and even notified the inn restaurant and other Jiangyang thieves to sneak into the capital and ask them to help investigate, but in the end there is still no news, and he is as anxious as ants on a hot pot. However, he was very cautious about Feng Jue's invitation, and he thought about it for a while before deciding to go, but he arrived nearly half an hour later than Zhang Qian.

Although these three people have different grades and different functions, they are very polite when they get together. Compared with the first-rank and third-rank members next to him, the first-class guard grade of Feng Jue is undoubtedly nothing, however, because he is a close confidant of the emperor, the other two dare not slack off. Considering the reason why Feng Jie invited them to come on the night, both of them had a sense of unease.

However, what happened was beyond the expectations of the two, Feng Jue actually found out the whereabouts of the assassin alone, and even led his subordinates to kill twelve people on the spot, which made Zhang Qian and Yang Zhen stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses, and their hearts were a little sour. The credit falls into the hands of others, and you will have to carry the black pot when you arrive, who can be happy about such an unlucky thing? Yang Zhen started with a sentence: "Lord Dare Qingfeng invited the two of us to come overnight to report this matter, or not, the official will send someone to inform all the officers later, and everyone will do whatever they want, and there is nothing to do with us here, at most it is just to deal with the aftermath." ”

Zhang Qian didn't know what to say, and then he kept silent, and his face was very embarrassed. Feng Jue secretly laughed at the shallowness of the two of them, and said in a calm tone: "Two adults, since Feng invited you to come over today, he has no intention of taking the credit alone, otherwise why do you want to do more?" The matter is in the capital, and our faces are all gloomy, and where do we get the face to go to the emperor to show credit, only to make the merit is serious. According to the meaning of Feng, today's matter is whitewashed, and it is said that the result of the tripartite collaborative investigation is to apologize to the emperor at that time, and I will be able to rest assured, I don't know what the two adults think? ”

Zhang Qian and Yang Zhen looked at each other in shock, they couldn't imagine that Feng Jue seemed to be just a martial artist, and he could actually have such a scheming, even the two of them who had been in and out of their careers for many years were not as thoughtful as him. Yang Zhen shook his face with admiration, "Then thank you Lord Feng for your kindness, if you can explain to the emperor tomorrow, presumably you will be able to pass the penalty and downgrade this time." Fortunately, the adult reminded him, otherwise this time the lower official would not die, and he would have to end up with the pioneer Lord Yang. ”

Zhang Qian's grade was much higher than the two of them, and it was naturally impossible for him to be so humble in his words, but the words of thanks were also on his lips, and he was secretly glad that he didn't put on a show, and he came faster than Yang Zhen. When the three of them saw that the result had been decided, they discussed the details of the disposal and the twists and turns, one of which was closely linked to the other, and there must be no mistakes.

The court meeting on the second day was just a false story, the emperor was absent-minded, and the courtiers had their own evil intentions, so they discussed things casually for a while and then dispersed. Zhang Qian and Yang Zhen hurriedly asked for a separate face, and the emperor saw that the two of them had a natural complexion, and knew that the matter had a result, so he immediately ordered them to wait in the Qinzheng Palace.

Zhang Yang and the others recounted the incident one by one, and the emperor summoned Feng Jue to interrogate again, so it was almost seamless and flawless. The emperor didn't have a good impression of the Burmese Yang tribe, but when he heard that this matter was planned by those barbarians, he was furious, and it took a while to calm down. There are dense mountains and forests over there, and even if you send troops, it will be difficult to solve it for a while, and the imperial court can only swallow the bitter fruit this time. Fortunately, the wind is silent and the wind is still safe, otherwise the emperor will never give up.

Just as the monarch and ministers were discussing countermeasures, Shi Liushun reported loudly outside the door: "Emperor Qi, the third and fourth highnesses have woken up!" ”

The emperor couldn't help but be surprised, the three people below were stunned at first, Zhang Qian and Yang Zhen were all overjoyed, but Feng Jue was horrified in his heart, Feng Wuyan and Feng Wuhou disappeared for a short time, if they had met with the assassin, I am afraid that the things they arranged may not be able to deceive the past. Fortunately, Zhang Qian and Yang Zhen were also in favor of burning the corpse at that time, otherwise as long as they saw the appearance of the assassin, they would not be able to hide.

In order to take care of the convenience, the emperor ordered the imperial physician to place the two princes in a partial palace not far from the Qinzheng Palace, and it was only a cup of tea to rush over. According to the meaning of this supreme, the two beds of Feng Wuyan and Feng Wuhou are one in front of the other, and only separated by a screen in the middle, so there is a comparison of the situation. Now that the two of them have woken up almost at the same time, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

The two princes still looked a little ignorant, and they didn't seem to know what was going on, until they saw the emperor's face, they didn't save anything, and their faces suddenly turned pale. What began to happen that night, as horrific as it was, was nothing like the strange experiences of the two men afterwards. However, both of them saved the man's warning, and how dare they tell the truth, peeking at their father's face while lying in a series of ways.

Feng Jue only listened to a few words, and it was clear that the two of them were not telling the truth, but it was beneficial to him. According to the words of the wind and the wind, the two of them lost consciousness after being knocked unconscious and taken out of the official sedan chair, until Shi just woke up, and he didn't know what the assassin looked like. However, at first, when he was assassinated, he caught a glimpse of a fight through the sedan curtain, only to know that the assassin was quite fierce, and even the well-trained guards were no match for him. Of course, the two of them also knew that they were not at fault for not bringing enough guards, so they immediately confessed their mistakes with tears in their eyes.

The retinue of the two sons was all wiped out, and they were frightened, so the emperor naturally didn't blame them anymore, and besides, this incident happened in the capital, but it was a dereliction of duty on the part of his own supreme. Therefore, the emperor comforted the two of them with kind words, and inquired about the relevant situation of the imperial doctor, and after knowing that there was no serious problem, he ordered someone to escort them back to the palace.

Feng Wuxian was extremely annoyed, the two elder brothers had just been attacked after resigning from his palace, and it sounded as if he had instigated the assassination. There are already some inconsistencies among the courtiers, if it weren't for the sake of the Xiao family's strong power, I'm afraid He Furong would definitely hold on to it, at least he would not be able to escape by making an article. He secretly hated that group of stupid assassins in his heart, and just killed the third and fourth children directly, why bother to put them back in circles, isn't this full of food and support?

It was easier for him to come to the title of county king than others, but now there are more people who criticize him, and even take him to hate his father and the emperor together. Mother Yu Guifei could have been promoted to the queen, but he has not made a decision for a long time, his status has always been so unembarrassing and embarrassing, he doesn't even know how to deal with himself. Just look at the way those brothers are eyeing each other, and they will not be at peace if they set a storage position in the future. Moreover, he watched coldly, feeling that his father's intentions were always unpredictable, and as long as his mother could not be in the middle palace for a day, he would never think about having a peaceful birthday. Feng Wu sneered, and secretly made up his mind, if he really had the day to ascend to the Great Treasure, the first thing he would do was to clean up those domineering brothers.
