The king of the East Sea ran in breathlessly, poured himself a cup of cold tea, drank it in one gulp, frowned, returned to the door, loudly ordered his retinue to ask for wine, and then turned around and said, "It's really unlucky, can you imagine that this kind of thing will happen?" ”

Han Ruzi sat alone behind the bookcase, silent.

The king of the East Sea found a place to sit down, apparently exhausted, and collapsed in his chair unwilling to move. Soon, the servants of the palace brought wine and food, the wine was hot, the food was cold, and the king of the East Sea drove away the servants, poured himself a drink, and after three glasses, his energy recovered a lot.

"Why don't you speak?" The King of the East Sea asked.

"Have you caught up with Yuan Zifan?"

"No, he runs faster and knows the way before me."

"You are so bold that you dare to go after the Qi One alone, those assassins are likely to be his companions."

"I thought you were all following, who would...... Hey, I hear you, you're doubting me? "The King of the East Sea was vigilant.

"If you send someone to assassinate the king......"

"It's not me!" The King of the East Sea said angrily.

"Let me finish, everyone is possible, I'm just making a hypothesis."

The King of the East China Sea still stared at Han Ruzi angrily, but did not interject again.

Han Ruzi continued: "What good will it do you to assassinate the British King? The battle for the spot has become chaotic, and the champion and I have suffered greatly, but you can fish in the water. ”

The King of the East China Sea sneered, "Ah, I'm really smart, I took a huge risk to assassinate the King of England, just to fish in troubled waters, but have you ever thought about it, we are all sons of Emperor Huan, if you fail to compete for the throne, the ministers would rather choose someone else than choose me as the emperor......"

"It's just an assumption, and you'll have to wait until things are clearer to know what the real benefits are for you."

The King of the East Sea drank another glass of wine and said angrily: "Suppose yes, okay, then suppose you send someone to assassinate the King of England, what benefit can you get?" ”

"If I can lead the assassination suspicion to the champion, it will be the biggest benefit for me."

The King of the East China Sea was stunned for a moment, and his anger calmed down slightly, "Is Champion Hou suspicious?" ”

"I don't know yet, but he was defeated by me one after another, and in addition to being angry, anything can be done, he knows that the King of England will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also knows the way to go after leaving the Mansion, and it is not necessarily only the King of England that he wants to assassinate."

"That's right! Champion Hou thought that the King of England must be with the two of us, the King of England ran ahead, and the assassins were forced to make a move in advance......" The King of the East Sea trembled, and his face changed, "You actually let me chase Yuan Zifan alone!" ”

"I said, it's just assumptions." Han Ruzi said calmly.

"Okay, let's move on to the hypothesis." The King of the East China Sea thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Actually, there is no need to make any assumptions, according to your thoughts, people who are not suspicious at all are the most suspicious, because the reputation of others will be damaged because of this, and even lose the qualification to compete for the throne, but he can reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Han Ruzi nodded.

"You don't believe that someone's luck is good?"

Han Ruzi shook his head, at this time, only the most ignorant people would believe in luck.

The King of the East China Sea was silent for a while, "There are also the Queen Mother and Cui Hong, as well as your soldiers, all of whom have the possibility of assassinating the British King." ”

"Troop soldiers?"

"I believe it wasn't your idea to assassinate the British King, but haven't your soldiers already returned to Beijing? They're loyal to you, but they're not smart enough to think they're helping you. ”

"Then they should assassinate Champion Hou."

The king of the East China Sea snorted and ruled out this hypothesis, "Cui Hong is actually very suspicious, among the four people vying for the throne, three of them have a close relationship with the Cui family, and only King Ying is an exception...... No, the power of the British king is the weakest, and Cui Hong has no need to get rid of him at all......"

"Maybe Mrs. Cui wants to see the capital fall into chaos."

"Well, that's really good for him, but the assassination of the British king is not small, and it is not big enough to recruit the Southern army, unless it gets bigger and bigger in the future...... Is the King dead? ”

"I don't know yet, I'm waiting for news."

"I should go out and inquire, the Tan family is more well-informed." The king of the East Sea stood up and did not leave immediately, "Speaking of which, the person who has benefited the most is actually the Queen Mother!" ”

"Hmm." Han Ruzi was noncommittal.

"The King of England is not an ordinary person, who will investigate the case after the assassination? First of all, the 'Guanghua Tigers', they are all the Queen Mother's people, and there are the eight camps of the guards......" The face of the King of the East China Sea changed again.

"The Queen Mother has gone crazy." Han Ruzi reminded.

"What if she's not sick at all, she's pretending to be crazy? Those who wanted to compete for the throne were trapped in the capital, and the Eighth Battalion of the Guards could take power openly by taking advantage of the assassination...... In this way, the 'Guanghua Tigers' may also be deceiving the Tan family......"

The King of the East Sea ran away.

Han Ruzi still didn't move, the whole capital was like a pond, the assassination of the king of England stirred the pond, the sediment was flooded, and the big fish and small fish pounced, chasing each other and biting, unable to distinguish who was the enemy who had planned a long time and who was the speculator who took advantage of the fire to rob.

In the second half of the night, Yang Bong returned.

"King Ying and Du Chuanyun were hit by poison darts, but fortunately, the rescue was timely, and there should be no problem."

Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gave birth to a bad omen, "Poison dart? ”

"Well, the things that people in the rivers and lakes like to use, Du Chuanyun was very vigilant, and he hid with the king of England for a while, so he didn't hit the vital point."

"What about the Assassins?"

"It's still being investigated, and the shopkeeper said that there were six or seven teenagers staying in front of the store, and all of them disappeared after the accident, and even Danchen is looking for these people."

"What about those who hope for the air?" Han Ruzi asked again.

"Yuan Zifan and Lu Congxin are missing, Huangfu Yi is in the palace, the situation is unknown, Lin Kunshan is still in the East China Sea Palace."

"Lin Kunshan didn't escape?" Han Ruzi was surprised.

"Hmm."

Han Ruzi was confused, looked at Yang Feng, and asked after a while, "Did Shangguan Sheng come forward?" ”

"Not yet, Lian Danchen has three days to investigate the case, and if there is no result, Shangguan Sheng will intervene."

"He's really calm. Is there anything else Yang Gong would like to tell me? ”

"Tired Hou should rest, tomorrow there is likely to be someone to ask Tired Hou."

Han Ruzi nodded, "It's the Queen Mother, right?" ”

Yang Feng was silent for a while, "Why did the tired marquis say this?" ”

"The King of England was recommended by the Queen Mother, but he did not get much support, and now that I think about it, the only role of the King of England is probably to be assassinated as a contender for the throne, providing a reason for Shangguan Sheng to directly intervene in the struggle for the throne. The assassination of the British king, I suspect that the Queen Mother, the champion Hou will also, but the people of the world will not, they only see the people supported by the Queen Mother being hurt, thinking that the murderers behind the scenes are us. ”

"Isn't it?" Yang Feng asked rhetorically.

Han Ruzi stared at Yang Feng for a long time, then lowered his gaze, "This matter will probably never be investigated, right?" ”

"Rest, Tired, you're thinking too much."

After Yang Feng left, Han Ruzi lay down in his clothes and rested in the study, he thought he would not be able to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

When he was woken up the next morning, Han Ruzi was very reluctant, at that moment, it didn't even matter if he was the emperor, he just wanted to continue to sleep.

But he sat up anyway and quickly sobered up.

Zhang Youcai was not as flustered as last night, and even had a smile on his face, "Why did the master sleep without taking off his clothes?" I've got new clothes, so let's change them. ”

Han Ruzi was at the mercy of a puppet, and after changing his clothes and washing his face and mouth, he was more sober and said, "You were frightened yesterday, right? ”

"It's okay, it's ...... It was so sudden, I thought ......"

"Why?"

"I thought someone was going to kill the master and the king of the East China Sea." Zhang Youcai whispered.

Han Ruzi smiled, Zhang Youcai was the eunuch in the palace, and he didn't dare to say it even if he suspected the queen mother.

"Du Chuanyun should be fine."

"I've heard that this guy will die at his own hands sooner or later."

"Don't you care about him? You're friends. ”

"Friends?" Zhang Youcai showed a little anger, "There are some things I shouldn't say......"

"There's nothing you shouldn't say in front of me."

Zhang Youcai's face was slightly red, "The day after I came back, Du Chuanyun said that he was picking me up and washing the dust, but he brought me and the loach to ...... Take it to that kind of place. ”

"What kind of place?" Han Ruzi didn't understand.

"Land of fireworks."

Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he believed that Du Chuanyun could do such a thing.

"He said, 'If you can't eat pork, you should watch the pig run, can't the eunuch go to the Qinglou?' There are also eunuchs who marry wives and raise children. 'Listen, master, what are these words?' Zhang Youcai said angrily.

Han Ruzi shook his head with a smile, he didn't defend Du Chuanyun, he knew very well that Zhang Youcai was suppressing care with anger, and the two were still best friends.

Zhang Youcai continued to complain while cleaning up the house, "Even if I don't care, there are loaches, how old is he, Du Chuanyun actually took him with him." Okay, the food and drinks are really good, and the people who accompany them will say good things, but that's too much. Master, no matter what you think, I have to say, Du Chuanyun is good at wine and lust, and sooner or later he will be ruined in these two hobbies......"

At three poles in the sun, the king of the East China Sea did not come as usual, and Lian Danchen, a judicial member of the army, came to visit.

Yang Feng personally introduced Lian Danchen into the study, and several of the torturers who came with him stayed in the front yard and were entertained by the mansion.

As soon as Lian Danchen came in, he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Han Ruzi asked him to get up, and after a few polite words, Lian Danchen took out a pen and paper and began to ask Tihou about the details of last night.

Han Ruzi had nothing to hide, and said it from beginning to end.

"The King of England came out of nowhere and didn't say hello beforehand?"

"Nope."

"In other words, there are not many people who know that the King of England is out of the palace."

"When we went to meet the prime minister, many people came out of the prime minister's mansion to greet us, and this is probably how the news spread."

"Well, that's not enough to plan an assassination together, those people are very well prepared, and they are definitely not improvised." Lian Danchen did not continue to analyze, and respectfully sent the transcript, asking Tihou and Yang Feng to sign and seal respectively.

Lian Danchen put away his things, but he had no intention of saying goodbye, Yang Feng walked out of the study with interest and waited outside the door.

"There's a former palace guard by his side, right?"

"Hmm."

"Her name is Meng E?"

"Yes. What's wrong? ”

"Please be careful." Lian Danchen bowed and saluted, and left.

Han Ruzi understood that the methods and secret weapons used to assassinate the British King must be very similar to those of the Meng brothers and sisters.
