Xinyi Shitai took the initiative to find Yang Guang and asked to visit the deceased "Wild Goose's Nest" leader Guan Zizi - Gao Qinglian, which aroused Yang Guang and Pei Yun's special attention to her move, and the two of them became suspicious of Chen Shubao, the queen of Nan Chen.

However, Yang Guang knew very well in his heart that it was difficult for him and Pei Yun to make various speculations based on various clues to show their father Yang Jian to the court, and to convict Chen Shubao and Xinyi accordingly.

Therefore, although Yang Guang had begun to have doubts about Chen Shubao, he still strictly ordered Pei Yun to only strengthen the surveillance of his intentions, and not to make unauthorized claims, and included Chen Shubao, who was far away in Chang'an, as a suspect.

However, three or four days later, a piece of news came back from Jiankang, which was across the river from Guangling, but Yang Guang had to temporarily put aside his great concern about his mind and refocus his attention on the important matter of stabilizing the situation in Jiangnan and the people's hearts.

In accordance with the practice of the imperial court, after leading the army to pacify Jiangnan, Yang Su returned to Guangling and first reported to the Taiwei Yang Guang the details of the pacification of the Jiangnan rebellion, and according to the advice of taking care of Shi, he and Yang Guang jointly submitted a chapter to the imperial court, asking for pardon for Chen Junfan and Xiao's uncle and nephew, in order to appease the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.

However, after waiting in Guangling for three days in a row, Zhang Heng did not have any news back to Guangling. Yang Su was worried that as the marching marshal of the unified army, he would not return to the court for a long time after quelling the Jiangnan rebellion, which would cause unnecessary suspicion of the emperor, so he couldn't help but rush to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion early in the morning of the fourth day to ask Yang Guang about when Zhang Heng would be able to escort Chen Junfan and the other three back to Guangling.

Yang Su had just approached the door of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion Chamber, and saw Li Jing, a young guard on duty outside the hall door, winking at him, and couldn't help but walk up to him strangely and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Who is currently in the hall talking to the prince? ”

"If the Duke of Yue Guo comes to the prince to resign, please go back, lest you go in and touch the mold, and the strange end will not remind you in advance." Li Jing stiffened his face and whispered to persuade Yang Sudao.

"I blame you for what you did! Tell me, what's going on in the house today? Yang Su was both curious and funny, so he also asked Li Jingdao with a stiff face.

Before Li Jing could answer, he heard Yang Guang's voice from inside the conference hall: "Is it Yue Guogong outside the door?" Please come into the hall and speak. ”

Li Jing made a bitter face at Yang Su, spread his hands, and made a helpless move.

Yang Su glared at him, turned around and walked into the conference hall.

As soon as he walked into the conference hall, Rao is Yang Su was well-informed, and he couldn't help but be startled: I saw that in the conference hall, headed by Zhang Heng, there were three people lying on his stomach in front of Yang Guang, who was full of anger and standing upright, and the two people behind Zhang Heng were wearing linen and filial piety, lying on the ground and crying silently.

"The Yue Guo Gong is exempt. Jianping, this king also asks you, since the prime minister was assassinated two days ago, why did you return to Guangling today to report the news to this king, and what have you been doing in Jiankang in the past two days? Yang Guang waved his hand at Yang Su and continued to ask Zhang Heng.

Yang Su heard the news of Wang Shao's assassination in Jiankang from Yang Guang's words, and suddenly understood why Li Jing persuaded him to come to Yang Guang another day to resign, and couldn't help but have a good impression of this young little guard, and at the same time, he was also shocked by Wang Shao's sudden assassination, so he stared at Zhang Heng with bated breath, wanting to hear what he explained.

"The prince is graceful. Xia Guan was ordered to go to Jiankang four days ago to escort Chen Junfan and the other three back to Guangling from Wang Fu's shot, and arrived in Jiankang on the same day to meet Wang Fu's shot and explain his intentions. Wang Servant was puzzled by the prince's plan to submit a letter to the imperial court to ask for forgiveness for Chen Junfan and the other three, so he asked the lower officials to wait in Jiankang for two or three days, and when he had disposed of the urgent official business at hand, he would return to Guangling with the lower officials to find the prince to ask the reason for the matter. Who knows, on the night of the second day when Xia Guan arrived in Jiankang, Wang Servant was found dead in the public office. After hearing the news, Xia Guan immediately rushed to the scene of the crime, carefully investigated the scene of Wang Fu's assassination, and confirmed that Wang Fu's death was caused by a hidden weapon fired by the assassins, and in order to avoid the leakage of the news and cause riots inside and outside Jiankang City, he consulted with the director of Yuwenshu, who assisted Wang Fu's shooting to stay in the town of Jiankang, and strictly sealed the news of Wang Fu's assassination. Because Yuwenshu was in charge of the subordinate and had assisted the prince in investigating the case of Nan Chen Xizuo, he asked the subordinate to stay in Jiankang for the time being to track down the murderer who assassinated the king's servant. Because Xia Guan was worried about returning to Guangling to report the news to the prince, he came to report the funeral to the prince with the two sons of the king's servant after initially ascertaining the assassin's assassination methods and the route of advance and retreat. ”

"I beg the prince to be the master of my father and avenge my father!" Before Zhang Heng's words fell, Wang Shao's two sons, who were lying behind him, had already cried bitterly.

"The two sons, please mourn. This king and his son have always had a friendship between teachers and students, and they will never sit idly by and ignore the death of their son. Yang Guanghong stepped forward with red eyes, supported the two sons one by one, and comforted the two of them with warm words, "Please rest the two sons in the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion for two days, and then officially mourn the prince after the king sends someone to arrest the assassin, and use the assassin's head to pay tribute to the prince." Li Jing, help the two sons go down to rest. ”

Li Jing obeyed the order and walked into the council hall and persuaded Wang Shao's two sons to go with him to the guest house in the mansion to rest.

"Jianping, it just so happens that Yue Guogong is also here, let's talk about what you have found in Jiankang in the past two days." Yang Guangmu sent the two sons out of the meeting hall, raised his head and wiped the tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes, and turned around to urge Zhang Hengdao.

Zhang Heng first took out a silk silk pouch from his arms, carefully held it in his palm, opened the small bag, revealing two silver needles about three inches long wrapped in the bag, and reported to Yang Guang and Yang Suyu: "Lord, please look at the Duke of Yue, these are the two murder weapons taken from the body of the Wang servant, and the tips of the two needles have been soaked in poison, and the throat is sealed with blood. And this assassin was not bad as expected, he should have a deep personal grudge with the king's servant, and he fired two shots one after another, both of which hit the fatal part of the king's servant's neck, and he wanted to shoot the king's servant to death and then quickly. ”

"Using a silver needle soaked in poison to hurt people is by no means something that ordinary chickens and dogs can do. May I ask Zhang Changshi, according to what you have seen in your investigation of the assassination of Wang Servant, how far away was the assassin from Wang Servant Shooting to launch the silver needle and assassinate Wang Servant? Yang Su himself is also a great expert in martial arts, stepped forward and twisted a silver needle with his two fingers, raised it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, and asked Zhang Hengdao.
