Zhu Houzhao was speechless when he heard this, although these were Xie Shen's guesses and inferences, but they were reasonable to string together, as if things were supposed to be like this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, he was indeed stationed in Yingtianfu, which is known to the world, and the female assassin will definitely come to Yingtianfu first if she wants to assassinate, and only after determining that she can't do it will find out the news and go to Suzhou first!

It can only be said that he has really entrusted, if he continues to stay in Yingtianfu or return to Jingshi, there will not be so many problems.

But this is also due to Zhu Houzhao's character, and he can't complain about others.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is to catch this assassin, as long as you catch her, everything will be revealed."

Xie Shen was really a little afraid, this female assassin was not bad, and she knew how to forbear and pretend to be a prostitute to approach Zhu Houzhao. It's really a stab with the brain.

"Well, anyway, the whole city has been put under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the rest is to conduct a search in Suzhou City. I still don't believe it, that female assassin can really go to heaven. ”

Zhu Houzhao's treatment of King Ning's line was not ruthless, but Rao was assassinated because of this. If he had relented a little at that time, maybe there would have been an even bigger mess.

It can only be said that power is poison, and once it is contaminated, even if it is not poisonous, it will lose the mind.

King Ning's mistake was that he couldn't recognize the form. No matter how ridiculous Zhu Houzhao is, it is still the orthodoxy of the dynasty, and if he wants to learn from his ancestors, he must have that personal strength.

......

When the news of the assassination of the Son of Heaven reached the ears of Li Mu, the prefect of Suzhou, the parent official was about to collapse.

He didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the day dawned, he ordered him to go down and gather all three classes of officials.

In the second hall, he sighed as he paced.

The Son of Heaven was assassinated in Suzhou Mansion, and he, the prefect of Suzhou, could not be picked out in any case. If he could not atone for his sins and capture the assassin in time, then his prefect would have been able to do it.

The luck of this thing is really mysterious, and his Li Mu's luck is really back to the extreme.

Looking at the third-class officials who knelt on the ground, Li Mu was angry and didn't fight: "You bunch of waste, what's the use of this mansion raising you, you can't even protect Your Majesty's thoughtfulness!" ”

The three classes of officials are all looking at the nose and the nose, and the heart is unreasonable.

The security of Suzhou Fucheng is in charge of them together with the Inspection Department, but now that something has happened, the prefect is angry with them.

Of course, they should be responsible, but it is impossible to guarantee that there is no idler around the Son of Heaven, right? That's the duty of the brocade guards, and if they get closer, they'll be scolded by these bastards.

Now that the Son of Heaven has been stabbed, the prefect of Jinyiwei, who is the most derelict in his duties, can't be scolded, and the old man of the inspection department can't scold, so he can only bully them, the yamen dukes.

"Why, isn't what this government said right!"

Faced with the indifference of the third-class officials, Li Mu felt even more chilled.

It's not that he can't accept that the yamen officials and the public are messing around, but he can't accept that after something goes wrong, they still look like they don't care about themselves.

Do you have to teach them everything?

"Big lord, the little ones are waste, but the gang of Jinyi Guards don't give the little ones a chance to protect His Majesty. The little ones can't even get close to His Majesty's body, how can they guarantee His Majesty's thoughtfulness? ”

Du Zhutou smiled and excused himself.

"This ......" Li Mu, who has always had sharp teeth, was speechless for a while.

What could he say? Jinyiwei is indeed the most responsible, they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and they actually let the Son of Heaven be assassinated under their noses, they really deserve to die!

"Let's not pursue these first, you will immediately search the whole city, and even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out the assassin!"

"The little ones obey!"

"Let's go down!"

Li Mu waved his hand weakly and sat down behind the green case.

He closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his forehead while thinking about who was so bold that he dared to stab the Son of Heaven.

The most terrifying thing is that this person actually disguised himself and turned into a girl in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.

Li Mu himself also goes to the Qinglou from time to time to have fun, he likes to watch those weak women in his arms, and that kind of satisfaction is something that he will not have no matter how happy he is with his own concubine.

Every time Li Mu goes to Qinglou, he will let down all his guards, and he no longer has to worry about being squeezed by his boss and calculated by his colleagues. In his eyes, these prostitutes are the most harmless existences, and he can't imagine that even prostitutes can be assassins with deep skills.

Li Mu really didn't understand why this female assassin wanted to assassinate the Son of Heaven, was it because the Son of Heaven liked to have fun and was not sympathetic to the people's power?

If this is the case, Li Mu is a little worried.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

But Li Mu didn't have this confidence, because he had done a lot of bad things......

The bad things that Li Mu did can basically be divided into two things: greed for ink and silver and deducting imperial grain. When the embankment was built last year, he ordered the craftsmen to use cheaper crushed stone instead of more suitable stones, which had been paid for in the details of the fire consumption, and had already been wiped out. As for deducting the imperial grain, almost every Suzhou prefect will do it. Because the taxes in Suzhou are extremely heavy, it is difficult to collect the grain tax, and the actual grain escorted into Beijing is only 70 to 80 percent of the quota.

The bigwigs of Jingshi also know this, so they will not delve into it. Because even if it's only seven or eighty percent, it's several times that of other prefectures.

Gradually, the prefects of Suzhou found that the imperial court would not say anything when escorting seventy percent or eighty percent of the grain into Beijing, and they would not say anything when escorting fifty percent or sixty percent.

In that case, why don't you deduct the remaining one or two grams and sell them to the grain store in the name of your subordinates?

In this way, the report to the imperial court that only 60% was demanded, but the 10% was realized will not arouse any suspicion, which is simply perfect.

Li Mu is a cautious person, in his opinion, he has already done these things in his predecessor, and there will be no problems.

But what if this female assassin doesn't like him and wants to 'do the right thing for heaven'?

This guy even dares to assassinate the Son of Heaven, and it is estimated that he will not take him, the prefect of Suzhou, in his eyes.

Just when Governor Li's mansion was worried about the safety of visiting the Qinglou, a yamen official came to report that Xie Shen, a cabinet scholar, had arrived at the mansion.

Li Mu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly went to greet him.

As soon as he left the second hall, he saw Xie Shen passing through the Moon Gate and hurrying around the shadow wall.

Although he didn't know what Xie Shen's intention was, Li Mu still bowed respectfully and said, "The lower officials see the little pavilion elder." ”

"Governor Li, this official is here to ask how you have arranged the search for assassins?"

Xie Shen waved his hand and asked.
