Gao Shangzhi and Zhang Bao hurriedly left the Qiansheng Temple early in the morning, although both of them had their own abacus, but since they already knew about the events of last night on Wolong Mountain, there was no need for the rest to mix with Shi Zun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he arrived in Yecheng, Gao Shangzhi sent Zhang Bao back, and went straight to Shijian's Ning Wangfu.

Gao Shangzhi came to the backyard of King Ning's mansion, Shi Jian was practicing swords in the courtyard, and Gao Shangzhi stepped forward: "Your Highness." ”

Shi Jian heard the noble voice, stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sure enough, as His Highness expected, there was a night of trouble on Wolong Mountain last night."

"What's going on?"

"Liu Guifei was assassinated by several black-clothed men late at night, under the protection of King Qing and Wen Cang, the deputy commander of the guards, those assassins did not succeed, killed two assassins on the spot, captured one alive, and the rest fled."

"It's a pity that I didn't kill Liu Huan!" Shi Jian gritted his teeth and said.

"I think this assassination of Liu Guifei is simply a scene performed by King Qing, how can it really be a successful assassination?"

"How can you be sure that those Assassins were sent by King Qing? According to King Ben, King Qing has also done this kind of thing, and in order to win over Concubine Liu, he really tried his best. Shi Zun said, turning around and walking into the house.

Gao Shangzhi followed, and said as he walked: "Whether it was this scene arranged by King Qing or not, it's not difficult to find out." ”

"Oh? What's your plan? Shi Zun picked up the towel on the table, wiped his hands and asked.

Gao Shangzhi smiled slightly: "The old minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and last night he took advantage of the chaos and ordered one of the dead soldiers to catch an assassin who wanted to escape. ”

When Shi Jian heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Where is the assassin now?" ”

"I have been secretly detained by the old minister, Your Highness can go and see it tonight."

"Didn't you say that Lao Jiu captured an assassin alive last night? Since he captured the assassin alive, he must have wanted the assassin to frame him, presumably these assassins are all hard bones, I'm afraid they won't tell the truth, right? ”

Gao Shang said confidently: "Those methods of Dali Temple, the old minister knows, I'm afraid it is true that a person who sees death as if he was at home can tell the truth, but in addition to training dead soldiers for His Royal Highness over the years, Lao Chen has also collected some methods and means of interrogation, what Dali Temple can't do, Lao Chen can do it, please rest assured." ”

Shi Jian looked at Gao Shangzhi with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and exaggerated repeatedly: "Lord Gao is always so far-sighted, and with you helping this king, it saves a lot of thought." ”

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that this Liu Guifei will stand on King Qing's side, after all, this life-saving grace is not a small favor. In His Highness's opinion, whose head would this assassin put on the mastermind behind the scenes? ”

Shi Jian threw the towel in his hand aside, and replied with a smile: "Hehe, this king knows if you think about it with your feet, this black pot is the second one, and the rest depends on how Zhang Bao saves the second one." ”

Shi Zun said, sat down, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Did you pass the news to the second child yesterday?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, yesterday the old minister personally took the leopard on Wolong Mountain, and he lived in the Qiansheng Temple that night, when those assassins were assassinated, Zhang Leopard hid not far away and saw it clearly."

"That's good, the rest depends on how the second and ninth dogs eat dogs, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

"However, the old minister sent someone to capture an assassin, I am afraid that it has already attracted the attention of Wen Cang and King Qing. Last night, Wen Cang had already reported the assassin's abduction to King Qing. ”

"Don't worry, no one will suspect us, Zhang Bao's sudden appearance yesterday will only make Lao Jiu suspect that this matter was done by the second child."

"His Royal Highness is right, it seems that King Qing is now riding a tiger, if he really thinks that the assassin was kidnapped by King Yan, then he can only hope that the assassin will not defect."

"Then let's wait for the show to begin." Shi Jian looked at the noble and smug expression in his clothes.

At this time, in the Yanwang Mansion, Shi Shizheng was sitting on a chair with a serious face, and Zhang Bao had just told him what happened last night.

"I didn't expect Lao Jiu to come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and even used the bitter meat trick, which is ruthless enough."

Zhang Bao was silent, standing there without speaking.

"Why didn't Master Zhang speak?" Shi Shi asked suspiciously.

Zhang Bao sighed and said, "If it is simply to assassinate Liu Guifei to win over Liu Guifei, things are not so bad, I am afraid that the problem will be the assassin who was taken in by Deputy Commander Wen last night." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Bao looked at Shi Shi and said solemnly: "Your Highness thinks about it, if this is really a scene that King Qing asked people to play, then it is absolutely impossible for an assassin to be caught, at least with the observation of the minister in the dark last night, even if the skills of those six assassins cannot successfully assassinate Liu Guifei, they can completely retreat, but one person was captured alive, isn't King Qing worried that this person will bite him back?" ”

Shi Shi's face changed slightly, looked at Zhang Bao and said, "You continue." ”

"Assuming that last night's assassination was really a premeditated plan by King Qing, then this assassin who was captured alive must be for King Qing's next plan."

"What's the plan?"

Zhang Bao replied categorically: "Framed!" ”

After listening to Zhang Bao's analysis, Shi Shi was frightened into a cold sweat, although Shi Shi is not extremely smart, but normal people understand that if this assassin intends to frame him, he must be the first to bear the brunt.

Shi Shi tried his best to calm down his emotions, and asked in a trembling voice: "Lord Zhang, then you say, if this assassin is captured alive is really arranged by Lao Jiu, the assassin will definitely frame this king, saying that this king is the master of this assassination, but when the time comes, I can't tell it clearly!" ”

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, Rong Chen think about it, this matter may not be without a turnaround."

Zhang Bao said and sat down, while Shi Shi looked at Zhang Bao with an expectant face.

Just after that, Shi Zun had already led people down to Wolong Mountain to escort Liu Guifei back to Yecheng.

Shi Zun and the others had just set off, Wen Cang had already entered the palace in advance, and for such a big thing as assassinating the concubine, he had to report it to Shi Hu truthfully.

"Say it again! What happened last night? Shi Hu suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he didn't believe Wen Cang's words.

Wen Cang knelt on his knees and said respectfully: "After the hour last night, the six black-clothed people intended to assassinate the concubine Niangniang, so they simply had His Royal Highness King Qing and the ministers to keep the Niangniang safe. ”

"Where is my beloved concubine now?" Shi Hu glared at Wen Cang and asked Wen Cang loudly.

"The minister came back first to report this matter to His Majesty, Niangniang should be on her way back to the palace now, escorted by His Royal Highness King Qing personally, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry."

As soon as Shi Hu heard Shi Zun's escort, half of the stone in his heart fell.

"What about the Assassins? Did you catch it? Shi Hu asked again.

Wen Cang was a little embarrassed, and immediately kowtowed and said, "Please forgive your majesty, six assassins...... The ministers only caught one. ”

"What? I asked you to bring more than a dozen people, as well as Lao Jiu's people, so many of you still can't catch six people? What is the use of raising you! Shi Hu said, grabbed a cup and smashed it at Wen Cang.

Wen Cang didn't dodge, the cup just smashed on his head impartially, Wen Cang didn't say a word, but the blood quickly flowed out.

Seeing this, Shi Yong on the side hurriedly knelt down to Shi Hu and pleaded: "Your Majesty, this time the noble concubine Niangniang can be safe and sound, and Wen Cang is not without merit, I implore Your Majesty to spare Wen Cang this time for the sake of his loyalty to Your Majesty for so many years!" ”

After Shi Yong finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to Shi Hu.

Shi Hu pointed at Wen Cang and continued to scold: "If it weren't for the fact that the concubine was okay this time, I would have cut you down a long time ago for the sake of your loyalty in the past!" Get out! When I understand the whole thing, I'll clean you up! ”

"Yes!" Wen Cang still kowtowed respectfully to Shi Hu, got up and walked out of Hongguang Pavilion, half of his face was already covered with blood at this time.

"Shi Yong!" Shi Hu shouted to Shi Yong, who was kneeling on the ground.

"The minister is here!" Shi Yong straightened up, ready to listen to Shi Hu's orders.

"You! Bring a few people to welcome the concubine back and bring it here directly! Let King Qing come along, I need to figure out what's going on! ”

"Obey the order!" After Shi Yong finished speaking, he also got up and walked out.

As soon as Shi Yong walked out of Hongguang Pavilion, he only heard Shi Hu roaring inside: "It's all fucking bold!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another broken sound of "Ding Lingdang".

Shi Yong took six or seven people out of the palace, galloped straight towards the city gate, and happened to meet Shi Min at the city gate.

Shi Min saw Shi Yong coming over with someone on horseback from a distance, so he stopped his horse and saluted Shi Yong.

"Huh~" Shi Yong urgently reined in the horse.

"Commander Shi, what are you going to do in such a hurry? Aren't you supposed to protect Your Majesty in the palace? Shi Min asked with a smile.

Shi Yong raised his hand to return the salute, panting slightly and said to Shi Min: "Master Min, I have important things to do, so I won't talk to you more, and I'll visit you another day." ”

After Shi Yong finished speaking, he rode his horse and galloped away, and before Shi Min could speak, Shi Yong and the others ran far away.

"What are you busy with inexplicably?" Shi Min looked at the backs of Shi Yong and the others in a daze, and said to himself: "Forget it, whatever, go back first." ”

Shi Min pinched the horse's belly between his legs and whipped the horse's buttocks: "Drive!" ”
