Chapter 244: Two-Way Assassination

"We'll talk about that later."

Gu Qingyan looked back on the letter, to be honest, these three people's official positions are not low, and there are no major faults on their faces, one of them named Li Linyu has made military merits with General Feng, and now his sister is Mrs. Wen in the harem of Queen Yu.

It's just that Gu Qingyan noticed that the military exploits they made were to stabilize the relationship between the two countries provoked by the Xuanyue clan due to civil strife, which she didn't know about when she was in the Yuwang Palace.

"This Vice General Li is the elder brother of Mrs. Wen in the palace."

Gu Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at King Yu.

King Yu nodded: "Now he is no longer a lieutenant general." ”

Soon after that rebellion, Li Linyu once again led the troops to quell the rebellion of the Liukou, and when he returned to the capital to resume his life, he encountered this year's spring hunting, and the king of Yijun on the hunting ground also had a share of Li Linyu's credit, so the double credit changed from a deputy general to a positive one.

Gu Qingyan pulled the corners of her mouth, and secretly said in her heart: The emperor's heart is much more difficult to guess than the woman's heart.

"They don't seem to be at fault on the surface, but you have something else in secret?" Gu Qingyan asked.

After all, she is an official of the imperial court, and she can't just nod her head and agree to take it at will, even if she is sure that King Yu is sure that these people must die, but she didn't accurately tell her that all this will change.

King Yu nodded: "Do you remember the pamphlet of Yuan Zhao that I once showed you?" ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, the officials above didn't need her to make a move at that time, so she just glanced at it and didn't care too much, as for the only few sects above, they had always been under the surveillance of Yuhualou and handed over to Baili Mo to settle down.

"On that, there are the names of these three people, there were people in Li Linyu's family who were officials under the old five, and it was easiest for the old five old departments to cultivate new people to start from these relatives. Moreover, Li Linyu's next few actions were too coincidental and attracted attention. ”

"Fu Changsheng has always been the dark tooth left by the fifth child, this is a personal essence, he has always been left and right, everyone thinks he is good, but in private, he has used a lot of vicious means to trap colleagues and install his own people. After King Yijun entered Beijing, he had frequent contact, and this person could not stay any longer. ”

"The other Jiang Rong, who has been a teacher of poetry and rites for several of our princes, including the king, is now a second-class official residence, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s..."

King Yu said, Gu Qingyan nodded frequently, well, she has some impression of this person's name, and just after reading his information, this person should be an old minister in the court, loyal to the kind, I don't know what kind of pigtail was pulled by that person.

"Among the officials arranged by Fu Changsheng's operation, many of them have Jiang Rong's protΓ©gΓ©s and cronies, and this person is not less against Fu Changsheng on the face, but they are all loyal to the same person in private."

The people in the capital, whether inside or outside the palace, are not vegetarians, and the King of Yijun and the court are not talking about all the actions in the open and secret, at least half of them have been collected by this person.

Although he secretly exchanged a wave of blood when he ascended the throne, he couldn't bear the loyalty of some people on their faces and apostasy behind their backs.

"These people have some of their own supporters and prestige in the DPRK and China, and if they want to make drastic moves, I am afraid that they will cause a lot of waves."

Yu Wang said, although Nanwan's national strength is not weak, but internal friction is not a wise move after all, and in the past two years, the change of officials above the court is too frequent, even if there is nothing to do, it is inevitable that people will not have different intentions.

Moreover, the one in the capital once said that within five years of his accession to the throne, it is necessary to sweep away the remnants of the former dynasty that have left them for decades, and the five years are imminent, and the remnants of the former dynasty and the remnants of the party that seized the throne collude, and they will not be able to increase their actions.

The court was complicated, Gu Qingyan had already frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, Gu Qingyan said: "No matter who I choose, you tell me first how you want them to die?" ”

"They were ordered to come to congratulate, and it would be inappropriate if they died violently in Jicheng."

King Yu looked at Gu Qingyan with a firm gaze, these people not only couldn't die in Jicheng, but they couldn't die in the fiefdom under his jurisdiction.

Gu Qingyan understood, tapped his fingertips on the table, and said: "I remember that Jiang Rong also taught me a few poems, and he can be regarded as a teacher for a day, so give him a ride as my heart, even if Fu Changsheng is removed now, how should you deal with the people he arranged to enter the court?" ”

"This king has his own plan."

Yu Wang said confidently, Gu Qingyan didn't bother to care about him, so he didn't include this person in his list of assassination targets.

Finally, speaking of Li Linyu, Gu Qingyan also quipped: "No matter what he says, it's your brother-in-law, I don't know if the prince can be very careful?" ”

King Yu smiled: "If this king is ruthless, can the four girls help this king?" ”

Gu Qingyan swept over with a roll of his eyes, and said in his heart: Fortunately, he had the foresight to leave a hand in his harem, so he said: "Double the price, I will help." ”

Gu Qingyan's sudden shouting caught King Yu off guard, and he looked at Xu Shaolin, who shook his head at him again and again, indicating that this was not his signal.

"I've negotiated the remuneration with Shaolin, you go to him."

King Yu bargained, before Gu Qingyan came, he and Xu Shaolin and the three of them had already discussed properly, what to give, how much to give, and they had already made the sub-period listed in black and white.

"Big brother, did you have a red seal?" Gu Qingyan poked his head and asked Xu Shaolin.

Xu Shaolin smiled at her and shook his head.

Gu Qingyan got a response, then smiled at King Yu, and directly called out to the sub-period behind King Yu: "Sub-period, bring what you wrote to me and take a look." ”

The sub-period is in a dilemma, looking at Gu Qingyan and Yuwang, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.

"Eh, forget it, listen to you, add it to her! Plus! ”

King Yu stopped the sub-period, there were other things on the list, and he couldn't just show it to Gu Qingyan, besides, he couldn't afford to pay twice the price, so he agreed.

Gu Qingyan smiled proudly and comforted King Yu: "Don't worry, buy one get one free." ”

As a result, the assassination list of Gu Qingyan's line was set.

Feng Xi saw that everyone had finished saying this round, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the princess is waiting outside the door." ”

"Well, let her in."

In fact, everyone in the hall could feel that there were people waiting outside, but they had their legislation to abide by, and Gu Qingyan and the others couldn't say anything.

Princess Jingyi walked in dignified and elegant, and everyone except Gu Qingyan and King Yu stood up and saluted: "I've seen Princess Yu." ”

Until Jing Yi walked up to Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan got up, and the two of them saluted peacefully: "Emperor Ji is well." ”

"The princess is well."

After greeting each other, Jing Yi blessed King Yu: "Lord Wang." ”

King Yu beckoned and motioned for the princess to sit down: "It's all done?" ”

Jing Yi replied: "Yes, the courtyard where the emperor lives has been tied, and all the items are ready, the emperor is afraid of noisy, so the concubine only leaves a few rough girls to do some dirty work." ”

"The princess has a heart."

Gu Qingyan thanked her, the princess's arrangement was exactly what she wanted.

"The concubine body of Master Han's residence has also been prepared, and he will be with several other sons."

"Thank you, Princess."

Han Yan stood up and thanked him.

Gu Qingyan said a few more words to them, and said that she wanted the princess to take her to see the courtyard, so the two left first, and Su Xin and Beiming also retreated.

There were only a few big men left in the main hall, and King Yu moved his shoulders and breathed a long sigh of relief, he originally thought that Gu Qingyan would be physically and mentally exhausted and would be in a bad mood and ignore his stubble, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"After all, there are people who can cure this girl, I said earlier, the prince can rest assured."

Xu Shaolin said with a smile, and didn't forget to look at Hanyan as he spoke.

Compared with Xu Shaolin's ease towards King Yu, Han Yan was still a little restrained.

King Yu said with a smile: "The owner of the Han Shaozhuang does not need to be restrained, and he has an identity in front of people, in private, you are the same as them." ”

"The prince laughed." Hanyan grasps the degree appropriately and pays back.

"After all, there is one more thing in this king, I'm afraid it's going to trouble the owner of Han Shaozhuang." King Yu didn't leave Hanyan behind just to greet him.

"Lord Wang, please speak." Cold Rock Road.

King Yu got down from his seat, and Feng Xi presented a broken sword: "This king knows that the master of Han Shaozhuang is a member of the Sword Sect, and he knows more about the sword than a few of them, so he wants to ask the owner of Han Shaozhuang to help identify this sword." ”

Han Yan took the broken sword, looked left and right, this broken sword is the first half of the sword body, although it is different from the ordinary sword from a distance, it can't say that there is any big clue, no wonder even Xu Shaolin and they can't help King Yu.

"This sword is different from the others, the spine is narrower, the blade is thinner, and the blade is slightly longer and sharper...."Han Yan said, his fingers lightly touched the sword surface, and he weighed the weight again, "The sword surface is hard, the overall weight is not very heavy, but more like it was specially forged for women." ”

"How sure are you?" Yuwang asked.

Han Yan thought for a while and said: "Seventy or eighty, most men in the family who practice swords are reluctant to use too light swords, even women, and they use less, after all, if the light sword and soft sword do not have too high internal force and extremely fast speed, the lethality will be greatly reduced." ”

"In other words, such a sword is exclusively owned by a certain person?"

"Sort of, for example, Gu Qingyan, Yan'er's saber I don't know if the prince has seen it, it is also lightweight, but the sword surface is not as thin as this one, and the blade of the sword is also a normal shape and size."

Although Gu Qingyan uses few swords, he also has a special saber, and this sword is almost no different from a conventional sword except for its lighter weight.

Xu Shaolin nodded, they had seen this broken sword before Han Yan came, but they couldn't tell what kind of person would have it, and they couldn't find any clues in their memory.

"Does the young farmer know what kind of people will use it?" Yuwang asked.

Han Yan shook his head slightly, precisely because this sword was custom-made, unique but also niche.

Staring at the blade carefully, Han Yan seemed to think of something, and asked King Yu, "This broken sword can hurt people?" ”

It was Fengxi behind King Yu who answered Han Yan: "No one was injured, but there were also sword marks, in the courtyard where the four girls were going to live...."

Feng Xi obviously realized that after he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed in seconds.

"Don't worry, let me talk about this slowly." King Yu answered, holding down these people who were about to burst into flames when they looked at them.

This sudden incident happened about two nights before Xu Shaolin and their arrival in Jicheng, when Princess Yu brought someone over to clean up the courtyard, because she wanted to add things to the courtyard where Gu Qingyan lived, and that night Princess Yu temporarily lived in the courtyard after getting the permission of King Yu.

Who knew that night, less than three watches, a man in black broke in, first lit ecstasy incense in the room where no one was, and then pried the door in, and found that there was no one in the house.

In the end, the sword of the man in black was cut off by the sub-period, and when he saw that he was invincible to the sub-period, he took the opportunity to escape with a smoke.

"Someone is going to assassinate the little girl?" Zong Yue spoke up and looked at Bailimo, wondering if he hadn't gotten the news.

Bailimo shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, no news has come." ”

"Did the princess have anything to do that day?" Xu Shaolin asked.

King Yu said: "Jing Yi was in another room, and she didn't faint with incense, so she was woken up after the movement subsided and asked the maid Qu to confirm it." ”

It was precisely because of this that King Yu couldn't be sure who the man in black was rushing to.

"Ziqi, you have fought with the other party, do you have anything to say?"

After listening to King Yu's words, Xu Shaolin turned to ask the sub-period who had experienced this incident.

Ziqi said: "This person is indeed like a woman, the fighting movements are extremely agile, the moves are rare, the ecstasy incense and smoke she uses have been traced, and she bought it on the black market outside Ji City." ”

"We questioned the seller, and he said that the man who took the goods from him was a child, who was engaged in black market trading, and he was not surprised by this, so the child gave the silver, and he gave the goods."

Obviously, it is impossible to try to track down this person.

When they spoke, Han Yan was silent, and after a while, Han Yan said: "You said that the moves are extremely rare, because the moves she uses are not quite like the moves used by the Nanwan swordsman, right?" ”

Ziqi hesitated, he did have such doubts in his heart, but if this person was not from Nanwan, then the problem involved would probably be big, and because of this, he didn't dare to make a conclusion.

Hanyan's question and the hesitation of the sub-period made Yuwang and the others understand something in an instant.

King Yu's tone was low: "The broken sword still needs to be bothered by the owner of the village." ”

Han Yan nodded in response.

"Fengxi and Ziqi, the two of you will act separately, increase all the defenses of Jicheng in the past few days, and investigate the different parties in the city."

"Yes."

"Mo, there is some news, I'm going to bother Yuhualou to investigate."

Baili Mo responded, nodded to the west behind him, and let the west fly the pigeon to pass the book.

Xu Shaolin also glanced at Holly behind him, Holly nodded to show that he understood, and when it was night, he went to find the hidden stake in the city, and then checked the people who might be a threat to Gu Qingyan.

Seeing that King Yu had finished giving his order, Han Yan proposed to go to Gu Qingyan's courtyard to see the sword marks, so that he could better judge the source of the sword.
