The new book is still an alternate history, and the title of the book is "The New Biography of Gao Taiwei", please support it! From now on, the lifting of the ban will also return to normal, but within this week, some chapters will be transferred to the relevant parts of the new book, thank you!
While the two were intriguing to discuss the conditions, there was some unusual movement outside. A sharp-eyed entourage saw that there seemed to be a black shadow scurrying on the side of the road, and more than a dozen personal guards immediately vigilantly protected the official sedan chair, and without waiting for them to make a warning, they only heard a low whistle, and several flexible figures with sharp blades snatched out of the black curtain and attacked Hu Cong from the group without saying a word. Under the sudden blow, a few small people who couldn't dodge were killed by knives.
"There are assassins!" The mournful cry of a retinue before dying suddenly pierced the silent night sky, and echoes immediately resounded in the distance. The Assassins didn't care if there were reinforcements to save them, and brandished their weapons as if they were not going to die, regardless of the blood they were covered in. Although there were many guards who were silent and silent, they couldn't help them for a while.
Feng Wuyan and Feng Wuhou in the official sedan couldn't help but look at each other, and after a while, the two actually laughed. Today's events are strikingly similar to those of that day, the only difference is that he has become someone else's target. But this time it was on the street, and it didn't take a pillar of incense to make the soldiers who patrolled the streets coming, and these people were just sent to death. For those entourages outside who may have been in trouble, the two of them just have an indifferent attitude, there are more people like this, what does it matter if one or two die?
Suddenly, the sound of sword clashing outside suddenly subsided, and the hearts of the two of them were wide, thinking that the assassin had been exterminated, but the sedan curtain was suddenly opened. Feng Wuyan was about to scold, but he saw a man masked in a black scarf looking at the two with unfathomable eyes, and he was speechless. Although the two are nobles and have been assassinated several times, this kind of face-to-face confrontation is the first time, and the first few times are all personal guards desperately rescued them, and finally turned the corner, and today it seems that there may be this kind of good luck. However, they really couldn't figure out how the guards outside were all carefully selected masters, so how could they be so poor?
These assassins were originally two groups of people, the first group was just sent to death, and the second group was the main master, and their skills were extraordinary. Because they came out suddenly, and the weapons were all forged from fine steel, which was quenched with poison, and the gang was extremely ruthless, they had the absolute upper hand in the fight, and they all knocked the guards to the ground in just a few breaths.
The man in the black scarf was not verbose, and directly knocked the two Tianhuang nobles unconscious with the back of the knife, and ordered his subordinates to rob people directly. The torches of the street patrol soldiers in the distance were already faintly visible, and this group of people was also thoughtful, and they actually set a fire directly, burning the official sedan chair and the corpse completely. Blazing sparks scorched corpses, and the crackling sound was especially terrifying in the night.
Such a terrifying thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and Yin Yangtong of Shuntian Mansion naturally couldn't get out of it. But the only thing to be thankful for is that two hours later, the two noble princes were found in front of the ruined temple gate in the east of the city. It was only after the Imperial Physician confirmed that the reason for their unconsciousness was only a guarantee that they would be safe and sound, and that they were too frightened and had been hit hard, that the extremely angry Emperor calmed down. At the moment, the unlucky Yang Tong was ordered by the emperor to strictly investigate the matter, but the will of the whole city was persuaded back by several important ministers, the reason is naturally that the wind is silent and the wind is not a big problem, and the safety of the Gyeonggi land is the first, as long as the city gate is strictly guarded. Therefore, the emperor had to order Yang Tong to find out all the assassins within ten days, and sent a large number of spies to investigate the matter.
Although the government did not say anything about this, the common people still saw a clue from the soldiers running all over the street, so all kinds of rumors spread. There were even rumors that the emperor was critically ill, and it was not until a few people with too many tongues were directly arrested and put into the Shuntianfu prison that people settled down, but the discussion behind the scenes never stopped.
Yang Tong naturally couldn't find out anything in ten days, and the emperor was angry and detained him in Dali Temple, and the leader of the secret agents had to reactivate Fengjie. A year ago, the suspicious emperor casually found an excuse to remove Feng Jue and replace him idle, but he didn't kill him for some reason, but just sent people to closely monitor his whereabouts. However, Feng Jue is cautious and has always kept to himself, so he has not caught any tricks. Unexpectedly, the newly appointed Feng Zheng looked fine on weekdays, but it was useless when it came to the end, and he actually allowed those thieves to make such a big mistake, which was really a rice bucket.
Feng Jue knelt on the ground, looking respectful, but he was very disdainful in his heart. With his shrewdness, how could he not see that the emperor was forced to promote him again out of desperation. Although Feng Zheng is loyal to the emperor, he is too far behind in terms of scheming and courage compared to himself. This kind of big case similar to rebellion, as long as it is properly operated, what is the point of finding a few scapegoats? At the beginning, several princes were assassinated one after another in various places, and if it weren't for their cleverness, they would have been pulled off the horse long ago. This time, let you see what it means to reverse black and white and hide from the world.
After Shi Liushun passed on the emperor's message, he said to Feng Jue with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Feng on his reinstatement, hehe, I will say that with your experience and ability, how can the emperor easily abandon it?" Now my words have been confirmed. He paused deliberately, and when he saw Feng Jue's expression, he said mysteriously, "Fortunately, the two highnesses are all right now, otherwise the emperor will be angry, I am afraid that I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground." The emperor only gave you a ten-day deadline, so you have to be sure of it. ”
Feng Jueqing knew that Shi Liushun was selling a favor, but he was also a person who knew the opportunity, so he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it into the eunuch's arms with a swift and incoherent manner. "Father-in-law Shi is kind, and he has a humble heart. If you can succeed, you will not forget about your benefits. As for the deadline...... The humble duty knows in his heart that he will not disobey the emperor's will. ”
Sent away Shi Liushun, Feng Jue hurried to the place where his subordinates gathered, unlike ordinary peripheral agents, the real royal inner secret agents are all from death row prisoners, and they are all controlled by poison, so they will never betray in idle situations, of course, loyalty is also certain. But when these people are under threat of death, something inevitably leaks out. Therefore, the means of the leader are extremely important, often controlling the life and death of everyone, but once he loses his position, the end may be worse than anyone else, which is also the emperor's way of checks and balances. Among the previous predecessors, there are not many who can survive after the replacement, and there is only one person who can re-ascend to the throne after the fall.
In the rapid movement of his body, Feng Jue remembered the production that surprised him. The birth of the thirteen princes was not a big deal for the emperor, and the pure concubine Wang got the title of pure concubine as she wished and moved to the Changqing Palace. And he has the first bit of blood and blood that belongs to him in this world, and he also bears the name of the nobles of heaven. has his own big expert in cheating, even if the emperor wants to confess his relatives with blood, he will not make the slightest mistake. As long as that woman is smart, she will never expose this secret, and being able to get the title of a concubine in the deep palace should be something her family dreams of.
Those spies who were already extremely afraid of the wind and desperation methods saw this black figure, and their faces showed a look of fear, but more people licked their lips cruelly, as if they had seen the bloody scene. Glancing slightly at the people who were out of the way, Feng Jue just snorted coldly and walked straight inside. He was curious whether Feng Zheng, who had always been loyal, would really kill himself by order.
Feng Zheng listened to the emperor's secret edict relayed by Feng Jue without saying a word, as well as the dragon card that symbolized power, and a miserable smile appeared on his face. Success and defeat have always been like this, let alone poking out such a big basket when he was in office? He stared deeply at Feng Jue, took out a small bottle, tilted his neck and poured it down. The wind will never stop it, doesn't he also hide the same superb crane top red on his body? If you die uncleanly and fall into the hands of the gang outside the door, it will only be more miserable.
"Feng Zheng has died by himself, and from today onwards, I will return to power. Within ten days, if no clues are found, I will never let anyone go before the emperor asks for guilt, and you all have to be buried together! Feng Jue's words carried a strong breath of death, "Whether it is life or death, you will take your own lives to fight!" ”
Under the prestige of the old master, everyone couldn't help but shudder. The person who complains about the loss of fun can't help but bow his head, and the resentment can't help but be replaced by fear. After the chorus responded, everyone acted in an orderly manner according to their duties, and only a few henchmen who were desperate back then gathered around them flatteringly.
"I know that you have suffered a lot under Feng Zheng's hands, but now that he is dead, there is no need to take his body out of anger, and he will be dragged out and buried later." Feng Jue saw through the minds of several people, and coldly ordered, "Go out with me tomorrow night, it's still the old rule, you can see, you can do, you can listen, but you don't ask!" ”
How could a few people not know Feng Jue's intentions, and nodded again and again. Thinking that they can live the comfortable life they used to live again, their faces are full of smug smiles, what about the lackeys, as long as they can enjoy boundless wealth, they will recognize everything.
In the darkness of the night, dark shadows roamed the streets, searching for the possible whereabouts of the Assassins. As soon as these non-subordinate parties met each other, they tacitly agreed to go their own way. Because their respective bosses are pressed very tightly by the emperor, these subordinates are also under a heavy burden, but it is rare to threaten their lives like Feng Jue, after all, the boss is not the emperor, and it is a taboo to take people's lives.
Feng Jue and a few henchmen gradually approached a mansion in the night, and sneaked in quietly. Several loyal dogs who watched the home were killed by throwing knives before they noticed the abnormality, and they only had time to make a whimper. The people in the room were obviously extremely vigilant, and in a few breaths, several agile figures jumped out, all holding bright weapons in their hands.
