In mid-February, the chief and deputy envoys of the Ming Dynasty left Seoul to inspect the locality, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin stayed behind as liaison officers, and Li Hui personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to see them off.

According to the grapevine, the day when the chief and deputy envoys of the Ming Dynasty returned to Seoul was the time when Li Hui was deposed from the throne.

This makes the already tense situation in the Korean officialdom even more dull and depressing, and the abolition of the king is related to the change of dynasties.

On the night of the departure of the Ming envoys, another assassination incident occurred in Seoul, this time targeting the two major leaders of the Gubei Party, Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan.

Several Assassins climbed over the wall and entered the house of Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan to assassinate them in the morning, only to be killed by Ding Xian, who was patrolling the night, and after a fight, all the Assassins were killed and their bodies were killed on the spot.

Although he was not injured in the assassination, both Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan were quite frightened, and the assassins who assassinated Zheng Renhong even touched the door of the bedroom where he was sleeping.

Therefore, the frightened Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan ordered the yamen in Seoul to strictly investigate the identity of the assassins, and it was necessary to wipe out the assassins' accomplices.

The next morning, the men of an inn in Seoul hurried to the government to report that a large merchant stationed in the store had been killed in his room, and that the man who had been kidnapped by his wife and children by a gang of stout Jurchens.

After the government's review, some of the current caravan's hired workers also disappeared last night, which aroused the alarm of the government officials, and immediately asked the rest of the caravan to go to the government to identify the assassins who assassinated Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan last night.

As a result, after careful identification by the caravan personnel, it was determined that the assassins who were killed were the missing caravan hire, although several were not among the dead and their whereabouts were unknown.

The official officials were greatly surprised by this, and while guarding the city gates and searching the whole city for the missing caravan hire, they hurried to report to Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan that if the identity of the assassin was confirmed, the hire-workers who had been hidden would eventually be found.

State Guest House.

"Brother Li, what do you think of last night's incident?"

When the inn's buddies and the caravan died, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, who sent people to monitor the inn, knew the news as soon as possible, and Zhao Xin asked Li Hongyu with a smile.

The stout middle-aged man couldn't have imagined that their every move was under the watchful eye of the people sent by Li Hongyu, and Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin even knew where they were hiding now.

In fact, because the rumors in Seoul are relatively close now, these people are very honest and have not done anything suspicious, and if it weren't for the fact that they suddenly took action to assassinate Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan last night, there would be no evidence of their guilt at all.

"They want to add fuel to the fire and make Seoul officialdom chaotic, and the outside world will definitely think that the assassination of Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan this time was done by the Nanren Party, and the Nanren Party will not be able to wash it even if it jumps into the Yellow River."

Li Hongyu put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, "Those assassins are dead soldiers who are specially sent to death, not to kill Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan at all, they just want to muddy the muddy waters of Seoul officialdom." ”

"Since their goal is to fish in troubled waters, it seems that they will soon be caught by the officials, but I don't know who they will implicate." Zhao Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, agreed with what Li Hongyu said, and then said.

Since the assassination of Li Yuanyi, the high-ranking officials in Seoul have strengthened their vigilance, and it is impossible for those assassins to kill Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan, but the impact of this is very large, enough to make the Gubei Party rumor, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, and then intensify the contradictions in the Korean officialdom.

And in order to make the Gubei Party and the Nanren Party officially start a war, the stout middle-aged people and others who were hiding must be caught by the official officials, and then confess to the mastermind behind the scenes under severe torture.

If Zhao Xin didn't guess wrong, the stout middle-aged man and others would soon be caught, after all, after the accident last night, the city gate had been blocked and they were not allowed to leave in advance, so it was clear that they wanted to be caught by the government, and then confirmed the fact that the Nanren Party bought the murder, and then set off a party struggle in the North Korean officialdom.

"If they are smart enough, they can't tell the identity of the main messenger, which makes it easier for people to believe that the Nanren Party did it."

Li Hongyu stretched lazily, got up and said while moving his neck, "Now that the 'envoys' of the Ming Dynasty have left, let's set up the stage for them, and it depends on them how to sing this big play." ”

"Brother Li, should we transfer some more troops to Seoul?" Zhao Xin groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with some concern.

Most of the Ming troops stationed in Seoul followed the Ming envoys to inspect the place, and she was worried that once the various factions in Seoul clashed, it would cause a riot, so it was better to have more troops to protect Li Hongyu.

"There are no more soldiers, and now the soldiers in the city are enough to deal with the riots in Seoul, and no one will take the initiative to provoke us."

Li Hongyu knew that Zhao Xin cared about him, so he said disapprerovantly, "Besides, we have someone outside the city, once there is a change in Seoul, we will fly to Incheon to inform the army there, which is enough to support the arrival of reinforcements." ”

Most of the Ming troops who accompanied Li Hongyu to North Korea this time were stationed in Incheon Port, which is only a stone's throw away from Seoul, and once there is a change in Seoul, they will come to support at the first time, after all, Seoul is the royal city of North Korea, and Li Hongyu should not bring too many Ming troops into it.

Zhao Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Li Hongyu's indifferent look, how could she not know Li Hongyu's plan, Li Hongyu was worried that if he increased his troops, the riots in Seoul would not be able to survive, and in that case, Li Hongyu's goal would not be achieved.

However, what Li Hongyu said is also true, even if there is a riot in Seoul, no one dares to attack the idea of the guest house, and the Ming army in the guest house is the elite of the elite.

Besides, there were still five or six hundred people in the Ming army's barracks in Seoul, which would be enough to protect Li Hongyu's safety at that time.

In fact, just as Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin expected, at night, the official officials found the hiding place of the stout middle-aged man and others, and in the warehouse of a merchant, the Korean soldiers and messengers surrounded the warehouse three layers inside and three layers outside.

With the order of the officials on the scene, the soldiers and messengers who had already been gearing up rushed into the warehouse, and soon became a mess with the stout middle-aged man who was desperately resisting.

Due to the large number of people, the soldiers and messengers who rushed in had an absolute advantage, so that the battle in the house was quickly over, except for the stout middle-aged man who was wounded and captured, the rest of the big men were all killed on the spot.

Those soldiers and messengers originally wanted to take them alive, but the stout middle-aged man and others were so fierce that they killed several people in a row, and even if they were wounded, they would not retreat, and they committed suicide one after another in order to avoid being captured.

If it weren't for the slower movement of the stout middle-aged man who committed suicide with an arm injury, I am afraid that he would have lost his life, and was pressed to the ground by a swarm of soldiers and messengers, and a ball of rags was stuffed in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

The people in the government immediately interrogated the stout middle-aged man overnight, and tortured one after another, beating the stout middle-aged man into an inhuman shape.

It wasn't until the next morning that the stout middle-aged man, who couldn't bear the torture, confessed, saying that they were bandits from the north, and that they had been hired to kill people in the capital with a lot of money a few years ago, and that the middleman was the big bank of the caravan.

At first, I didn't know who it was, but I didn't know until a few days ago that it was the leader of the council and the verdict of Licao, as for who was the main messenger behind the scenes, he really didn't know, they were originally comfortable but were threatened by the caravan, so they had to bite the bullet and assassinate Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan, but they were angry that they were coerced by the big bank and killed him.

The interrogating officer felt that the stout middle-aged man did not look like he was lying, because the person who hired the murderer naturally knew the seriousness of the situation, so it was impossible for the stout middle-aged man to know his identity.

Therefore, the interrogating official reported the result to his superiors, and after passing it on to Li Hongyu's desk.

"It seems that this person is really smart, and he knows that he came to this bitter trick to confuse right and wrong, but it's a pity that the big line."

Li Hongyu glanced at the confession of the stout middle-aged man, and a trace of regret flashed at the corner of his mouth, things were going according to what he thought before, that Daxing was undoubtedly a ghost who died unjustly, and he didn't know what happened to his family.

He has already investigated the big bank, which is just an honest businessman, and he will definitely not get involved in such a headless thing and even harm the whole family for no reason, so there must be something hidden in this.

If Li Hongyu didn't guess wrong, the family of that big bank must have been held hostage by a stout middle-aged man, otherwise I'm afraid there would be nothing to make that big bank obediently follow the instructions of the stout middle-aged man, and finally lost his life in vain, and was killed by the stout middle-aged man.

"Brother Li, will the people of the Bone North Party retaliate?"

Zhao Xin knew what Li Hongyu meant, and asked after a deep sigh, although there is no evidence that the Nanren Party arranged the assassination of Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan, but considering that it was the Nanren Party that benefited the most after the death of the two, the Nanren Party should have become the main messenger behind the scenes.

"Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan have been frightened a lot this time, and they will definitely not give up, and it seems that the Nanren Party is going to be suppressed." Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, in fact, this is also an excellent opportunity for the Gubei Party to take the opportunity to sweep away the obstacles in the court, so how can he give up?

"Alas! I hope that the affairs of North Korea can be resolved as soon as possible, and if the official army is defeated in Liaoxi, I am afraid that you will have to clean up the mess at that time. ”

Zhao Xin couldn't help sighing, the most important thing now is the battle situation in Liaoxi, Nurhachi will definitely not sit idly by, sit back and watch Li Hongyu build the Yalu River front, and then fall into the unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back.

"The war in western Liaoning is urgent, and the affairs of North Korea are related to the future."

Li Hongyu knew that Zhao Xin was concerned about the situation in western Liaoning, so he smiled and comforted that in his opinion, North Korea was an important trump card to contain Houjin in the future.

"How did Da Ming fall to such a point!"

A gloomy look appeared on Zhao Xin's face, the dignified Heavenly Empire is now actually working hard for the little Houjin, and even dispatched two scholars from the Ming Dynasty to North Korea, which is really incredible.

You must know that the population of Houjin is only a few hundred thousand, not even a million, but it is forced to have an army of one or two million people in a hurry.

"No, the pole is coming, the prosperity is the law of all things, what we have to do is to look to the future and prepare early."

Li Hongyu saw that Zhao Xin was a little sad, so he opened his mouth to comfort him, others may not feel the decay of the Ming Dynasty, but well-informed and well-informed ministers like him and Zhao Xin naturally know that the Ming Dynasty is already like a thin mountain, otherwise they will be disturbed by Houjin.

Zhao Xin smiled when she heard this, she didn't want Li Hongyu to worry about her, she just wanted to help Li Hongyu in her career at first, but now she is working with Li Hongyu to come to the city to plan for the future.

Although he can't fly with Li Hongyu, but for Zhao Xin, he is already satisfied with Li Hongyu, and the word "love" has made many women in the world obsessed and unable to extricate themselves, otherwise Zhao Xin's life will definitely be much more leisurely and happy than now, and there is no need to worry about those complicated affairs.
