Chapter Seventy-Seven: Two Sharp Tooth Marks
At this time, seeing the old lady walking towards him, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands to support Li Mu, and respectfully comforted him: "The old lady's family is out of misfortune, and the palace has been ordered by the queen mother, and led the brothers to come to mourn the deceased, and express a little condolence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Li Mu raised his eyes and looked at the people around him, and saw that in addition to the crown prince Yang Yong and several princes, all the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty who came to his nephew Li Xunfu tonight to mourn, and there was no one who was an important minister of the dynasty. In the future, if there is something to ask the old man, even if he comes to the door. ”
Xue Daoheng, Pei Ju and others have been officials in the court for a long time, and when they heard the old lady say this, they understood that Li Mu wanted to leave the prince alone to talk to several princes, so they all bowed their hands and hugged their fists to Li Mu to leave, and walked outside the square in twos and threes.
When everyone dispersed, Li Mu raised his hand towards the door of Li Xun's mansion, and let Yang Yong, Yang Guang and others go to Li Xun's mansion to talk.
Yang Yong was invited by Li Mu, and it was inconvenient to refuse, so he turned around and was about to enter the house hand in hand with Li Mu, when he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.
"There is a will, the crown prince Yang Yong and the king of Jin Yang Guang will enter the palace immediately." A palace attendant trotted up to everyone and handed down a holy decree.
"What's going on in the palace?" Yang Yong asked.
"Back to His Highness, the little one doesn't dare to say anything. Please Your Royal Highness and King Jin will enter the palace with the little one, the emperor and the mother are waiting in the palace. The chamberlain glanced up at Li Mu and several other princes, and didn't dare to say a word, only urging Yang Yong and Yang Guangdao in a hurried tone.
"Since something happened in the palace, why didn't my father and queen mother pass on my five brothers to go together, but only the eldest brother and Ah Zong?" Yang Xiu, the king of Yue, stepped forward, pointed to the attendant who came to deliver the decree, and asked sharply.
The waiter was obviously ordered to come to deliver the decree, and was severely warned not to leak half a word, but at this time, he was forced by Yang Xiu to ask him, and he was so frightened that he buried his head and neck, and he didn't even dare to take an extra mouthful.
Li Mu expected that something big must happen in the palace, so he hurriedly stopped Yang Xiu, and said to Yang Yong and Yang Guang: "Since the emperor and Niangniang summoned the prince and the king of Jin to enter the palace immediately, the old man will not force the two to stay." Come and send the prince and the king of Jin into the palace. ”
Li Hun agreed, rushed to the front to clear the way for Yang Yong and Yang Guang, and sent the two out of Daoshengli all the way.
"You go back to the house and tell Xiao Xiao and Cersei, I will enter the palace in a hurry, so that the two of them don't have to wait for me anymore." Yang Guang turned over and rode on the big green donkey, rushed to Yu Luo's command, and followed Yang Yong in the direction of the palace.
In the Wude Palace, the lights are bright, not only the emperor Yang Jian and the empress Dugu Jialuo, but also the two ministers of the dynasty, Gao Ying and Su Wei, and the commander of the forbidden army, Dou Rongding, who has not officially stepped down. The faces of everyone in the hall were covered with a layer of murderous aura, as if a great calamity was coming.
Yang Guang followed Yang Yong all the way to the Wude Hall without touching the ground, and when Yang Jian saw that his two sons had arrived, he said to Su Wei, who was sitting next to him: "Fearless, you have Jing Zhaoyin's messenger on your body, or you should tell the prince and the king of Jin what happened." ”
When Su Wei heard the emperor call out his name, he shivered uncharacteristically, and stood up sharply in front of Yang Yong and Yang Guang, forgetting to greet the two of them, so he rushed and said: "An hour ago, a monk from the Great Solemn Temple went to Jingzhao Gongfang to report the case, saying that the abbot of the temple, Master Huizhen, suddenly sat down. After receiving the report, I personally led people to the Great Solemn Temple to investigate, and the corpse reported that Master Huizhen did not sit on the throne and ascend to heaven, but was suddenly attacked and died in the meditation room......"
Will it be a true master? Isn't it the monk who was ordered by the queen mother to lead a group of monks and disciples to hunt demons in Hongsheng Palace after Yuwen Yan's death? Yang Guang still can't forget that at Yuwenxian's funeral, this powerful Huizhen master stood tall above the court, and declared to the courtiers that the demon who killed Yuwenxian came from Nan Chen. It's only been less than two months, how could he suddenly die violently?
Yang Guang's curiosity was aroused, and he immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively to Su Wei's continuation.
"After I received the report, I personally examined the body, Master Huizhen's face was like life, and no obvious fatal wounds were found on his body, but two sharp tooth marks and a small amount of blood stasis were found in his neck, if there was no accident, Master Huizhen should have died under the teeth of some kind of beast." When Su Wei said this, he glanced at Yang Jian uneasily, and then added, "According to the dozen or so officials I brought with me, none of them knew what kind of beast's mouth came from these two fatal tooth marks on Master Zhen's neck. ”
"Master Huizhen is not only the abbot of the solemn temple in Chang'an City, but also my Buddhist stand-in, enjoying the honor of the national teacher. Killed the mouth of the demon beast overnight, everyone, I don't know how you feel? Yang Jian's tone of voice was filled with rare indignation and chagrin.
Including the brothers Yang Yong and Yang Guang, everyone in the hall listened to Yang Jian's angry question, and they all looked at each other, not daring to answer easily.
After a while, Yang Yong muttered rashly: "Tonight, the Feng family in Li Xun's mansion committed suicide, and Master Huizhen died violently in the meditation room one after another, will there be any relationship between the two?" ”
"Nonsense." Yang Jian abruptly interrupted Yang Yong's words, and said angrily, "Feng Xiaolian is really a demon woman who humiliates the country and the family, and her aunt obviously can't tolerate such a vicious woman, so she was forced to commit suicide. ”
Yang Yong had just rushed back to the palace from Feng Xiaolian's funeral in Daosheng, and he just said it casually, but he didn't want to incur Yang Jian's unusually stern refutation, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word more.
"Holy Lord, in the opinion of the ministers, although Su Fushu and a cadre have found out that the two sharp tooth marks on Master Huizhen's neck are the source of fatality, it still cannot be ruled out that there is a possibility of a traitor committing a crime." Gao Ying, who was five short figures, took a step forward and said to Yang Jian.
If someone else said these words at this time, Yang Jianjian would question him face to face, how could he conclude that the real monk died at the hands of a traitor? But it was precisely Gao Ying who said these words that made Yang Jian's heart move, as if he remembered something, lowered his head, and was silent.
