Chapter 50: Jiankang Homicide Investigation Part I

Just as Xie An was taking the boat to Donghai County, all kinds of rumors in Jiankang City finally began because the emperor was injured and could not go to court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The palace was loosely guarded, making it easy for the Assassins to infiltrate and escape, and the forbidden army and the secret guards were punished a lot, but they were not dismissed because it was the time to hire people, and Empress Yu was more concerned about her husband's injuries and the movements of the courtiers.

The little prince Sima Yan has not slept peacefully for five days since the day his father was injured and Xie An was taken captive, and after kneeling and injuring his knee in front of his father's bedroom, he was grounded by Empress Yu in the prince's east palace.

Sima Yan's bedroom still has the potted plants planted by Xie An in the past, and it is said that they have been raised and given to Wang Xizhi. Sima Yan had never met Wang Xizhi, but had heard rumors that she could read the Penglai Fateh when she was one year old, but she had not written a word for many years.

The little girl who can make Xie An prepare gifts with her heart must be different from other family girls, right?

But the Wang family now claims to be in retreat, and Wang Xizhi still doesn't know the news that Xie An has disappeared.

Sima Yan deeply blamed himself, if he hadn't given Song Yi the jade pendant he carried, she would not have entered the palace and left Jiankang City so smoothly, and the affection for Song Yi in his heart was frozen like ice.

Song Yi has always had a purpose for being good to himself, because Song Yi wanted to kill his father.

Sima Yan tore up "Mao's Poems" and tore the first "Guan Ju" to shreds, but this behavior of wasting books made his teacher Bian Wangzhi very angry.

Bian Wangzhi is a person who obeys etiquette, even if the student is a prince, he will be punished, books are treasures in this era, Sima Yan's behavior is regarded by him as unrighteous and not strict in education, so Bian Wangzhi and himself are also punished.

The punishment was copying the book, and at the same time calming Sima Yan's uneasy mind.

The teachers and students knelt on the cold ground of the East Palace Hall and began to copy "Mao's Poems" and "Chu Ci".

Sima Yan silently copied "The Conjuring", thinking about the scene when he and Xie An copied books together on weekdays, Xie An copied very quickly in the first few years, but then it slowed down, and every word had to be considered for a long time, and said that if he didn't write well, he would be beaten when he returned home.

He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Bian, Ahri will be fine, right?" ”

In the past few days, he has been grounded, and no one in the entire East Palace dares to go out to inquire about the news, and Queen Yu only confesses, if your father is killed, then you must be ready to protect the country for your father.

Sima Yan listened to these words from the time he was babbling, and later felt that the queen mother was very annoying and verbose, he always felt that his father was healthy, young and upright, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

He suddenly wanted Xie An to be by his side, at least Xie An would be very calm and calm in the face of anything, so that he could also get a little strength.

Bian Wangzhi thought of Xie An's father Xie Bao's sad face recently, and sighed slightly, "There has been no news yet." ”

Sima Yan bit his lip and was silent, blaming himself.

Bian Wangzhi thought for a long time before he said: "Maybe it's a good thing, at least it means that An'er is still alive now." ”

Sima Yan nodded vigorously, he knew that it was difficult for a strict and old-fashioned old minister like Bian Wangzhi to comfort him, so he continued to devote himself to copying, silently praying in his heart that his father and Xie An would be safe.

However, he also had a question lingering in his heart, why Xie An was so coincidental that day, in the huge palace, there were several abandoned gardens, but why did he go to the garden where Song Yi and his father had a tryst so coincidentally?

Although Xie An often comes to the palace to study, he is not familiar with the places outside the East Palace, so someone must have told which garden has what flowers, and Xie An will pick flowers after class and before the palace gate closes, right?

……

……

The crown prince Sima Yan had doubts in his heart, and outside the palace, the prince's uncle, Yu Liang, was also investigating.

In just five days, the news he got was useless, after all, the Yu family was not a high-level gate valve, and in terms of network connections, it was definitely inferior to the Langya Wang family.

Although the Wang Dao he was afraid of avoided a corner, but in the future, Yu Liang must find someone to join forces.

This is also the result of his discussion with Empress Yu for several days.

Because at this time, the emperor Sima Shao, who had been urgently treated for five days, finally woke up.

The first thing Sima Shao said when he woke up was, "Quickly summon Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, to meet you!" ”

Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, was the grandson of Emperor Xuan Sima Yi.

In terms of generation, Sima Yi is the grandfather of Emperor Sima Shao, but Sima Yi is not very old, and now he is middle-aged, with five out of forty.

Sima Yi's generation is his capital, in the second year of Taining, Sima Yi was impeached for allowing soldiers to rob, but Sima Shao issued an edict not to ask for guilt, but only demoted Sima Yi's position as a captain.

Now Sima Shao's injury has just stabilized, and his life is still hanging by a thread. As an emperor, he knew that his fate would not be long, so he made the fastest decision and asked Sima Yi to enter the court, in case he really died, then Sima Yi could assist Yan'er and protect Sima's country; Second, Sima Yi can suppress Yu Liang's faction.

After all, the Yu family is a relative and a scholar. After the first emperor crossed to the south, the Sima clan has always been in the shadow of the Langya Wang clan, if he Sima Shao died easily without any arrangement, then Yan'er will face not only the Langya Wang clan, but also the Yu clan from his other half of the bloodline!

Emperor Sima Shao only woke up for a moment, listened to Empress Yu's cry irritably, closed his eyes slightly, forgot everything in the outside world, and waited for Sima Yi's arrival.

At the same time, he was also thinking about Song Yi, this stunning but elusive woman, although love and hatred are insignificant in the face of life and death, Sima Shao still misses Song Yi very much.

In the winter of the second year of Taining, Song Yi's days in the palace were not long, she said on the day she left the palace that she wanted to change her name, originally "袆" is also the meaning of clothes, but the clothes are the sacrificial clothes worn by the queen, she said that she is not worthy of this name.

Sima Shao couldn't figure out why Song Yi would kill him, if it weren't for the arrival of Ge Hong in the second year of Taining, I'm afraid his life would have been gone.

Does she still like Wang Dun? She killed Wang Dun herself, so she wants to avenge Wang Dun?

If she really likes Wang Dun, why don't she follow the example of Luzhu and fall from the building for her beloved?

No, why does Song Yi like Wang Dun? She didn't even show a trace of sadness when she looked at Wang Dun's head, and her cold gaze at that time was exactly the same as the look in her eyes when she pulled out her sword to kill herself.

Song Yi wanted to poison him five years ago, and she was afraid that Ge Hong would find out, so it meant that she was using chronic poison, and she was still thinking about getting out of the way...... How could she be so reckless five years later, so that now the whole Jiang Zuo is wanted by her?

And her swordsmanship, if it had been five years ago, he would definitely have discovered it, and someone must have passed on her swordsmanship in the past five years!

There should be other reasons, and she can be so bold, there must be someone behind it!

Sima Shao wandered for a long time, only to feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't make up for it after bleeding so much that day, no matter how many supplements he took, maybe he would die soon, right?

I really want to see Song Yi's face before she dies, and then cut off her legs so that she can no longer dance and come and go.

Anger will support a person's vitality, Sima Shao's heart is full of love and hatred, and he regrets that he still has a lot of ambitions that he has not yet carried out, and he can't help coughing up a mouthful of blood in a daze.

……

……

Sima Yi finally took his younger brother, Ma Zong, who was also a high-ranking Nandun County Company, into the palace to face the saint in Yu Liang's uneasy expectations.

Sima Zong was born with white hair, known as the white-headed prince, he was good at making friends with the heroes of the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he had a wide range of contacts, and now that the emperor was assassinated, he immediately spread the portrait of Song Yi all over Jiangzuo, in his words, the means of the people of the rivers and lakes to find a killer is much faster.

Yu Liang was only allowed to wait outside the palace, and when the Sima Yi brothers came out, they listened to the will of the inner supervisor and prepared the residence of the two in the palace.

It seems that the emperor has always been guarding against the Yu family, what Yu Liang was worried about finally happened, the emperor only summoned the two princes after waking up, and did not summon Wang Dao, who was ranked as Situ.

Yu Liang has been afraid of Wang Dao for many years, but at this juncture, maybe only Wang Dao can become his powerful alliance, in case the emperor dies, and the Sima Yi brothers lead the power to assist the young emperor, won't his Yu clan's many years of operation be ruined?

And the Langya Wang family is not reconciled, right?

So this night, Yu Liang stepped on the dead leaves of the autumn wind and entered the Situ Mansion.

After the frost falls, the autumn is dry and hurtful, you need to exercise more, Director Wang is a good health person, when Yu Liang arrives, it is rare to see Director Wang dancing the sword in front of the study.

Yu Liang, as a junior, naturally waited patiently, but now that he is not in the court, there are only the two of them in the huge courtyard, so he naturally does not need to be official.

Wang Dao's forehead was slightly sweaty, he stopped and lowered his sword, and asked, "Wenkang, what do you think of my sword dance?" ”

Wang Dao has always been the leader of the Jiangdong trend, whether it is clothing or food, he is naturally elegant and handsome for the scholars, and his dancing sword is like his calligraphy in its own style, unique style.

Without waiting for Yu Liang to answer, Director Wang said again: "If Wenkang asks you to choose one of calligraphy and swordsmanship to reach the realm of a grade, how will you choose?" ”

Yu Liang said very simply: "Naturally, it is calligraphy." ”

"It's natural that my Jin Dynasty scholars value literature over martial arts, and Sima Zong was obsessed with martial arts exchanges and heroes, and I naturally didn't like it, but then I understood that the rivers and lakes and temples are actually not far away, for example, Sima Zong's interpersonal network has unconsciously spread all over Jiangzuo, don't you think this is a noteworthy thing?"

When Yu Liang heard this, he was overjoyed, "It seems that Lord Situ has already made a decision. ”

Director Wang looked at the moon with his hands in his hands, and said lightly: "I just don't like people trying to use the power of the rivers and lakes to interfere in the affairs of the temple, you don't need to say much about your intentions, no matter what, you and I just want the emperor to live well, don't you?" ”

Yu Liang thought of a possibility, and asked tentatively, "Who is Song Yi?" Could it be that he was sent by the Sima Sect? Although Brother Sima is a meritorious minister, once he gains power, I am afraid that he will threaten the crown prince......"

"It doesn't matter who Song Yi is." Director Wang glanced at him meaningfully, "The bigger enemy is still eyeing the north. ”

Yu Liang's heart sank, and he nodded silently.
