Seeing the flame disappear from his sight, Pang Xi was very annoyed.

Inside the house, Ponji had come out of his fright, and he suddenly realized that this assassination had come at a good time!

Lao Pang knew in his heart that this incident had nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan and Xia Zhu, the assassin had already killed him many times, and he knew the identity of the assassin well. This kid must have known that he was setting up a birthday banquet today, and asked a certain adult in this room to help them blend in, who helped Pang Ji didn't know, but this question didn't matter.

The important thing is whether he can use this assassination incident to drag some people into the water. His eyes drifted to Fan Zhongyan and Xia Zhu. These two guys had just disrupted his whole plan, and Pang Ji had thought that there was no chance, at least not as good as he thought at the beginning. Who knew that in an instant, someone actually sent a better opportunity to themselves! If he misses it like this, is he still Ponji?

Renzong's face was already blue at this time, he was the emperor, and he was the most authoritative person in the Great Song Dynasty. But today, someone actually assassinated the Taishi in front of him. Yu public and private, did not take him, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, in his eyes.

This is something that the emperor cannot tolerate! A room of ministers looked at Renzong's face, and they all knew very well in their hearts that the emperor was unhappy! A storm may be coming.

Outside the door, those family members of the Taishi Mansion were still cleaning the traces left by the fight just now. The four assassins killed more than 30 people, and after injuring more than 10 people, they didn't catch any of them, and all of them escaped, which made Pang Xi's face somewhat unbearable. He bowed his head and walked into the house and knelt down, just saying, "The villain is useless!" Please punish the Holy Lord and the Grand Master! ”

Song Renzong knew that this must have made the assassin run away, so he slapped the table and stood up in anger: "Bao Zheng!" ”

After shouting, he suddenly realized that Bao Zheng was now patrolling the Eight Mansions for himself with Shang Fang's sword, and he was not around.

Just as he was thinking about who to let do it, Fan Zhongyan took a step forward violently: "Long live Chen Qi, Weichen thinks that the bandit assassinated the imperial master in broad daylight, without the authority of the emperor, and despised the law, which is actually the most evil, and it should be strictly ordered to Kaifeng Mansion to solve the case within a time limit and arrest all the bandits!" ”

Renzong felt very reasonable, and just as he was about to nod, he saw Lu Yijian also stand up: "Your Majesty! The old minister thought that Master Fan was suspected of avoiding the important and trivial! Thinking that the assassin had already rushed to Banzai just now, this is the assassin's sin! The official system of Kaifeng Mansion is not properly ordered, and it should be punished, and the assassination of the king should be handed over to Dali Temple for strict investigation! ”

Bao Zheng has been promoted, and now he is the prime minister of Dali Temple, almost above the same level as Lu Yijian. Giving people to Bao Zheng has two advantages for Lu Yijian, first, Bao Zheng is famous for judging the case, not for people. Even if you favor these rotten Confucians, you won't be biased too much. There is also the fact that Bao Zheng can't come back now, and the longer the case drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Lu Yijian and them, and they can have time to do a lot of articles.

And the reason why Fan Zhongyan wants to push the matter to Kaifeng Mansion is because the Yin of the Mansion who is now in Kaifeng Mansion is Ouyang Xiu.

Fan Zhongyan knew in his heart that even if Ouyang Xiu was not involved in this matter, he was at least an informed figure, because the contact between them and Chai Yang in the past was basically through Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi.

They must know about it.

Fan Zhongyan's eyes drifted towards Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi, only to see that the faces of these two were gloomy, and he firmly believed in the judgment in his heart. This time there was a lot of trouble, and Renzong saw it. Moreover, Lu Yijian is now changing the fact of assassinating Pang Taishi to assassinating Renzong.

If Ouyang Xiu and the others now admit that they can calm Renzong's anger, Fan Zhongyan will not hesitate to let Ouyang Xiu stand up. But even if they are allowed to stand up now, Lu Yijian and Pang Ji will not let go of this opportunity.

Fan Zhongyan was secretly anxious, and at the same time, he was going to take on everything without telling Ouyang Xiu about them, because Fan Zhongyan knew that these people would definitely not watch him pick everything up and be indifferent.

They must have thought that there was no other way out, so they made this decision. Now it's okay, the already stable situation has made waves again, and Lu Yijian has already pulled out an aggressive posture.

Since Pang Ji stepped down, Lu Yijian, the old guy, has gradually lost his rights, and now they are fighting back, taking this assassination that no one expected as an opportunity, they first targeted Kaifeng Mansion! This is obviously trying to use Ouyang Xiu as a breakthrough.

Ouyang Xiu's personality Fan Zhongyan knows very well that although this person is honest and upright, he is quite debauched in his private life, not only has a lot of connections with those people in the rivers and lakes, but also has a lot of trouble with the girls of Qinglou, and even some women from good families.

Such a person is easy to be caught.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thought that the assassin just now was not an assassin, even if he acted rudely, he was in a hurry to get out. Its original intention was to assassinate the Taishi,"

Before Fan Zhongyan's words were finished, Concubine Pang Guifei, who was sitting beside Renzong, suddenly slapped the table: "Lord Fan! Do you think that the assassination of my father is not a crime that will lead to death? Is my father a man who deserves to die? ”

Fan Zhongyan was suddenly a little speechless, he just wanted to hand over the matter to Ouyang Xiu, and then he could control the development of the situation, but in a hurry, he made a mistake and was caught by someone. If others can also argue, this Pang Niangniang spoke, he could only kneel down busily: "The minister should die!" The minister didn't mean that, the mother misunderstood! ”

Pang Niangniang's body leaned on Renzong: "Your Majesty! The concubine begged the emperor to be the master of my father! My father still resigned, just thinking about his old age, who knew that someone wouldn't even give him this opportunity, begging the emperor to be the master! ”

At this time, Renzong's face had at least regained his composure, but his chest still rose and fell sharply: "Interrogating the assassin, I am free to plan." From the Ming Dynasty, the Taishi said that every morning dynasty, the position was renegotiated. Pang Xi,"

Pang Xi came over and knelt down: "The villain is here!" ”

Renzong stretched out his hand and took out a waist card: "From now on, I will appoint you as the commander of the forbidden army, and the matter of capturing the assassin will be handed over to you." With this token, you can mobilize all the Jingshi to catch fast! ”

After speaking, with a flick of his wrist, the waist card flew towards Pang Xi, and Pang Xi caught it with both hands: "Emperor Xie!" ”

Renzong looked coldly at the ministers in the room, Pang Ji who bowed his head and snickered in joy, Fan Zhongyan who was pale, Xia Zhu who frowned, and Lu Yijian who was slightly smug on his face. His decision obviously surprised many people, especially Fan Zhongyan.

Giving Pang Xi the task of capturing the assassin was obviously unruly. Doing so will definitely make it easier for Pang Taishi to play on the topic. But now I can't say that this is not in accordance with the rules, Renzong is the emperor, you said that Pang Xi's identity is not enough, and it is annoying to give him a qualified identity.

Fan Zhongyan's two hands rubbed together uneasily, he knew that a violent storm was coming, how many people could avoid it in this storm?

The room was full of big people. These adults who are usually beautiful are now terrified in their hearts, because they are standing tall, so they are destined to be more painful when they fall. And a small person like Chen Yuan is not qualified to try such pain and suffering at all.

For Chen Yuan, he is about to go home, to Chen Shimei's house. Now Chen Shimei and Chen Yuan are one person, his family is his own family.

Chen Shimei's home is in Junzhou, Huguang, more than 1,000 miles away from Bianjing.

The commerce of the Song Dynasty was very developed, which was not only manifested in the Bianjing City, but also in the spacious official roads that stretched out in all directions, ensuring that the goods of the more local places could be exchanged in a timely manner, which was also a reflection of the very strong economic strength.

Jingnan Road is from Bianjing to Junzhou, not only the road is well repaired, but the various service facilities on both sides of the road are also very thoughtful. The inn has special stables, and there are many stalls dedicated to repairing cars on the side of the road, which ensures that Chen Yuan's carriage always maintains the fastest speed.

After leaving Beijing, the carriage entered the territory of Junzhou. Everyone who has been away from home for a few years is somewhat excited when they embark on the road home, and Chen Yuan is the same. However, it can be seen from Linghua's expression that she seems to be more nervous and excited than herself.

Chen Yuan hugged her tightly: "Don't be afraid, my father and mother are very easy-going, especially my mother, she will definitely like you very much." ”

Linghua's face was red: "Xianggong, I always feel that it seems a little inappropriate to go back to see your in-laws with you like this." ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "It's not appropriate if you don't come!" ”

said that Lala was dressed in silk on her body: "Look at me now, I can be regarded as returning to my hometown, and with such a beautiful girl as you, the rich man in our village must envy me to death!" Really, you're so much more beautiful than the wives he married! ”

Linghua listened with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "No, I'm worried that the eldest sister in the family will have something to think of me?" ”

Qin Xianglian? Chen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. In conscience, in the memory left by Chen Shimei, Qin Xianglian is a good woman, and after entering the Chen family for so many years, she has never let Chen Shimei touch the hoe handle.

But a good woman is also a woman, and it is inevitable that women will always be jealous. Can she really accept bringing back a woman by herself? Although it is very common for the Song people to have three wives and four concubines, is Qin Xianglian's heart really ready?

Chen Yuan thought about going home and telling her that he had found two more wives after he made it clear to his family, but then he thought about it, such a heavy blow to his surname is estimated to be unbearable for women, so it is better to come at once.

After all, she is Chen Shimei's wife, and to be honest, Zhang is okay. No matter how good she is to Chen Shimei, if you really let Chen Yuan sleep with Qin Xianglian in her arms, you may not be able to sleep soundly. It's really a troublesome question.

However, Chen Yuan dared to face up to any trouble, and he was confident that with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he would persuade Qin Xianglian to go to Bianjing with him. The best reason: for the child to have a good development in the future.

Say something nice, coax Qin Xianglian, it's really not okay to let her hit twice, as long as you copy the guy, it's no problem!

Chen Yuan kissed Linghua fiercely on the face: "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
