Chapter 411: Fall (1)

For a while, the Yamen of Pyongyang Prefecture became a pot of porridge, not to mention that Lord Zhou was already as respectable as a god in their hearts, but said that when the court leader decided to die in the government, all the officials in the yamen could not escape the responsibility.

"Where did the Assassins come from...... He was so rampant that he dared to kill people in the yamen...... Alas, Zhou Lao is diligent in government and loves the people, and treats people modestly, how can he make enemies? ”

That's what I said...... Zhou Lao never used guards, and Li Chao went up to hundreds of officials and down to civilians...... and no one will be against him......"

"The man seemed to have spoken a few words to the cicada just now...... Could it be a cicada......"

"Nonsense, Xiao Cicada is the granddaughter of Zhou Lao, how can she do such a stupid thing...... But it's really the old Zhou ...... that Xiao Cicada invited just now."

Saying this, everyone's eyes fell on the little cicada lying in front of Zhou Lao's corpse, she had already brought rain to pear blossoms, but fortunately, the horror in her eyes had subsided a lot.

She thought that she had also heard the discussion of the officials, so she turned around and seemed to say to herself: "It was the little cicada who hurt grandpa...... The little cicada shouldn't have brought that stranger to see grandpa......"

Hearing Xiao Cicada say this, the officials gradually breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, because in this way, Xiao Cicada has basically taken all the blame, and in the future, whether the court blames or the court officials and ordinary people, they will only accuse the assassin of being vicious and Xiao Cicada for negligence.

"Look...... What's that......"

Just when the officials' faces were heavy, they suddenly heard a shout from the man who came to inspect the scene, and following the sound, the man picked up a document or something.

"It's ...... Missionary Clerk ......"

While these officials were scolding the assassins, Shen Wuyan had already escaped from the yamen. It's just that when he first arrived in Pyongyang Prefecture, he already didn't know the direction, not to mention that he had to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty.

Just stay where you are and wait for Jin Qi to come, and in the end you will be arrested and imprisoned, judging from the current situation, it is impossible to say that you will even die unjustly in prison in the end, it is better to hide for the time being and wait for a turnaround.

Along the way, Shen Wuyan was thinking about the situation at that time, he believed that he had practiced swordsmanship over the years, and he had learned a lot of methods from Wang Tian, and his insight was already extremely strong, as long as he was not a top master, if a character like Shao Fang, he believed that flying secret weapons, he was always aware of it.

But this time, the man flew in and stabbed Lord Zhou directly, and he didn't even notice it. When I watched Lord Zhou fall on the table like this, I realized that he had been hit by a hidden weapon and it was too late to die.

There are too many unbelievable things these days, and it is the housekeeper who lives in Lord Zhou's house, and the housekeeper claims to be Zhou Qian, and when he visited Zhou's house, the housekeeper was no longer there, but a Mrs. Zhou came out.

When they saw the real Zhou Qian afterwards, they knew that his wife had died a few years ago, and what Shen Wuyan and they saw naturally would not be Mrs. Zhou's ghost, but probably the person who pretended to be Zhou Gan faked it.

At this time, I remembered that Mrs. Zhou really had a lot of flaws, and her noble and arrogant look was obviously deliberately made, as long as she looked at it a few more times, you could see the tension in her expression.

The reason why she would tell Zhou Qian's location was obviously in the plan for a long time, waiting for herself to find Zhou Gan, and then kill him, and blame Shen Wuyan, this is really a seamless strategy.

And at this time, it seems that this is really the case, because Shen Wuyan himself has no evidence to refute it, when Lord Zhou died, he was the only one in the field, and his hand was tightly held on the dagger, and he was being seen by Xiao Cicada.

In the next moment, Shen Wuyan found an even worse situation, after handing over the mission documents to Lord Zhou, he did not take them back in time, the object was just a certificate to prove his identity, he was no longer the main envoy of the mission, so it was not of great use to the mission itself.

It's just that at this time, that thing is really useful, and it can prove that the person who has just seen and fled in a hurry is Shen Wuyan, the envoy of the mission sent by the Great Ming, and he is very likely to be the assassin.

In this way, even if there is human and material evidence, Shen Wuyan can be convicted of a capital crime, just like when General Li was in the capital at that time.

It's just that he can't figure out what those people are trying to put him on death like this, if it is to get rid of him, with the methods of the assassin just now, he has no way to live.

Just as he had been walking briskly along the main road like this, Shen Wuyan noticed that there seemed to be officers and soldiers behind him who had begun to interrogate, so his steps became faster and faster.

However, there are too many officers and soldiers, and there are too few pedestrians on the street, so it is easy for officers and soldiers to detect if they go on like this.

"The ...... with the hat Come here......"

Just when Shen Wuyan was thinking about how to escape, he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him, and subconsciously wanted to escape quickly, but he thought that if he escaped like this, he would definitely leak himself.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Wuyan slowly turned his head and looked at it, it was a fat-headed and big-eared officer and soldier who spoke, and it seemed that he was catching fast, but whether Li Chao was catching fast or not, Shen Wuyan really didn't know.

"What's ...... called?"

Listening to the fat-headed and big-eared interrogation, Shen Wuyan deliberately lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Wang...... Wang Sheng......"

The fat head and big ears hesitated slightly, obviously not expecting his voice to be so heavy, but he didn't care, and then he took out a portrait from his sleeve and looked at Shen Wuyan with a comparison.

Shen Wuyan was shocked in his heart, and soon he noticed a change in the face of the fat head and big ears: "Suspicious...... Grab ......"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Wuyan had already turned around and rushed away, and by the time the fat head and big ears reacted, the person in front of him had already disappeared.

He was stunned and scolded loudly: "What the are you doing standing there, don't chase ...... yet"

There were really too many officers and soldiers, and Shen Wuyan was not very familiar with the road, so he was not in a hurry to escape, and he was almost surrounded by officers and soldiers several times.

After escaping like this for a while, Shen Wuyan walked into an alley, which contained an inn and the shops next to it, among which there were still some guests.

Just as he was taking a short pause, Shen Wuyan suddenly realized that there were officers and soldiers coming from both sides, and in this way, he was surrounded in this small alley.

After a pause, Shen Wuyan rushed into the inn in a flash, and walked towards the second floor of the inn, the stairs were very narrow, and he happened to meet a veiled woman approaching.

In this way, the two of them were frozen here, seeing that the officers and soldiers behind them were about to chase after them, Shen Wuyan didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly squeezed past the woman and got into a room.

At this time, the officers and soldiers also rushed into the inn and rushed upstairs.

The fat-headed and big-eared glanced at the veiled woman and exclaimed, "Did you see a scholar go upstairs?" ”

"Wearing a Confucian robe, tall and ......thin," the woman's voice was cold, and when she saw the fat-headed and big-eared officer and soldier nodding, she said in a deep voice: "I've seen ......."
