Chapter 35: The Peacock Silk (2)

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

With this little bit of caution in Wei Chang's heart, Li Jinzhong is naturally observant. In the past, if he had been an ordinary person, like Wei Chang, who was naked, roaring, and hot, and swooping up, regardless of decency, he would have rushed to hug his thick legs and slip through the door, Li Jinzhong would have already flown up his old legs and kicked him away. But this Wei Chang, regardless of his talent, knowledge, or his background and qualifications, is really outstanding in the Hanlin Academy at that time, so that Li Jinzhong not only does not have a trace of disgust and disgust for him, but often has a sense of closeness that Liu Bei was assisted by Kong Ming during the Three Kingdoms.

PS, three watches tomorrow, the time is 13:50; 17:50; 23:50

Even so, as far as the pursuit of the assassin in front of him was such a confidential and important matter, Li Jinzhong still refused to easily involve Wei Chang.

First, after all, the two have known each other for a short time, and Li Jinzhong has seen countless people like Wei Chang, but it is unknown what his character is; What's more, Wei Chang was personally named by the emperor to be selected from the Hanlin Academy to draft the edict of the Yanying Palace, and he and Liu Yi have a similar temperament and stomach, and they are very close, he rashly threw himself into himself, whether there is another mystery behind it, Li Jinzhong is really uncertain. Therefore, although he admired Wei Chang's outstanding talent and intended to take him as a confidant, for the time being, Li Jinzhong could not rest assured that he would be too close to him.

Today, Wei Chang did not shy away from going straight to the study side by side with Lu Guangting, and in a hurry, Li Jinzhong felt a little at a loss. His eyes were fixed on Wei Chang, but his mouth asked Lu Guangting, "Yesterday's 'Jing Palace Errand Room' was reported?" Was there anything unusual in the palace last night? ”

Lu Guangting understood that Li Jinzhong saw that Wei Chang was present, and refused to ask him directly about the progress of the investigation. Smiled apologetically, stretched out his right hand forward, and said to Li Jinzhong: "Your Excellency doesn't need to care about it left and right, today thanks to a knowledgeable person like Lord Wei, who recognized this thing, it was so that the person who carried out the assassination in the middle of the road yesterday evening showed his horse's feet so quickly." ”

Seeing Li Jinzhong's face full of surprise and displeasure. Wei Chang hurriedly approached and explained with a smile: "Grace is not strange for being born late and abrupt. Hearing the news that someone stabbed Enxiang, Wansheng rushed to the house early this morning, just now Lord Lu came into the house, just happened to be bumped into by Wansheng, and couldn't stand Wansheng's repeated questioning, so he took out this thing and asked Wansheng if he knew, so he came together. Now I see that Eun Xiang is safe and sound, and I am very happy to be in my later life. This is the farewell. ”

After that, he turned around and was about to walk out, but was grabbed by Li Jinzhong, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei's ardent affection is understood by the old man." Now that my brother knows what happened last evening, you might as well stay and think about it. ”

As he spoke, he used two fingers to pick up the things in Lu Guangting's palm, approached his eyes to take a closer look, and said to himself: "This seems to be a wisp of silk scraps torn off the robe, which was found at the scene?" What does this mean? ”

Lu Guangting nodded. Retrieve the wisp of silk crumbs from Li Jinzhong's hand and put it in a small bag. Then he replied: "This wisp of silk is attached to a bone nail, apparently left at the scene from the robes worn by the assassin at the time of the assassination." After the subordinate discovered this object last night, he had asked many of his subordinates to identify it carefully, but none of them recognized it. Today, Lord Chengwei looked at it and concluded that this wisp of silk crumbs was an extremely rare peacock gold thread, from which the lower officials had roughly deduced the identity of the assassin, but it involved the nobles in the palace. The lower officials did not dare to act rashly, and asked the adults to decide everything. ”

Li Jinzhong turned his head to Wei Chang and asked, "Is Brother Wei also very good at weaving and mending female workers?" ”

Wei Chang replied: "It's a shame to say that when I was in the Hanlin Academy in my later life, I was ordered to participate in the compilation of the sixty-volume "Records of the Domains and Regions", and I knew a little about the various rare tributes of the foreign domains. This wisp of silk crumbs that Lord Lu found at the scene of the assassination last night. According to the opinion of the late life, the peacock gold silk thread that is indeed a specialty of Linyi is correct. This peacock gold silk thread is extremely rare and precious, and it is not a thing used by ordinary palace people and officials, especially since the rebellion of Shi Rebellion, Tubo has repeatedly invaded the southern border and discorded with the imperial court. ”

"Lin Yi?" Li Jinzhong's eyebrows jumped, and his eyes wandered back and forth on Lu and Wei, "According to the two of you, is the assassin actually related to Concubine Nanyuan?" ”

Wei Chang only kept his voice silent, refusing to answer clearly. Lu Guangting replied, "Exactly." And according to the lower officials, this assassin has quite an identity, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. ”

"Concubine Nanyuan? The mother of the king of Gangneung and the eldest princess of Changning? I have never had a holiday with her, so why would she come to kill me? Li Jinzhong suddenly fell into confusion, and for a while he forgot to order to take people.

Wei Chang saw Li Jinzhong standing in the room with a strange expression, and he didn't say a word for a long time, but he was still hesitant in his heart, so he reminded him: "Late Sheng, I got up early today and got the news: the emperor has sent someone to Jiangling to summon the king of Jiangling to return to Beijing to participate in the 100-day festival of the first emperor. I don't know if Enxiang knows? ”

After he mentioned the king of Jiangling, Li Jinzhong suddenly woke up: the king of Jiangling left the king of Mu for no reason, and he once advocated the sending of troops to suppress at the court meeting, although this proposal was not adopted by the emperor, but presumably the concubine of Nanyuan had a grudge, so she sent someone to take her life. As soon as he was relieved, he made up his mind, and ordered Lu Guangting with a straight face: "King Jiangling detains the imperial court and the pro-ambassador, and acts in rebellion; His mother was even more frenzied, daring to openly stab the pillars of the court, and the crime was unforgivable. Ling'er and others immediately mobilized people and horses to surround the residence of the concubine of Nanyuan and the mansion of the eldest princess of Changning, and no one was allowed to leave, and the old man would be sent after entering the palace to ask for an order. ”

Lu Guangting took the order and left. Wei Chang looked at the back of Lu Guangting's departure, and said to Li Jinzhong with a worried face: "The concubine of Nanyuan is also okay, the eldest princess of Changning is now the princess appointed by the emperor, and her identity is special, so she should be cautious in handling it." ”

Li Jinzhong has made a decision, how can he turn back easily, he patted Wei Chang's thin shoulder hard, and said with a cruel smile: "The elder brother has the talent of Kong Ming and the ambition of the prime minister, but he can't help but be weaker when he does things." It is said that she is an unmarried eldest princess, and Queen Zhang, who was at the head of the six palaces in the past, wanted to kill her old husband, and she also ended up with a pitiful end of being buried in the 'wild fox falling'. If the elder brother has nothing to do, he can go to accompany your sister's family. When the old man catches the assassin, he will take your share of the credit in front of the emperor. ”

Although Wei Chang was still worried, there was no content in Li Jinzhong's order to directly break into the palace and take people, so it was inconvenient to say anything more, so he just bowed to the ground and said with a smile: "That night, I was waiting for the good news of Enxiang in the mansion." ”
