Chapter 257: The Assassin
Besides, Yao Chi's anger is true, Chu Qing is really dead.
At this moment, several people were silent, and Yao Chi didn't speak anymore and picked up the fold again, looking like he had given an eviction order.
"Your Majesty... Slow down, I'll catch the Assassin! My father has done his best for His Majesty over the years, and he also asks His Majesty to give our Su family a chance. ”
Su Jinhua knelt on the ground as he spoke, and knocked his head down with one crisp bang after another.
Yao Jue clenched her fists and clenched her teeth, but did not stop her movements after all, but kowtowed with her.
The sound of kowtowing was very loud, Yao Chi didn't speak, and the two of them didn't stop.
"It's so presumptuous, the country has a national law, you think this national law is child's play?"
Yao Chi's voice was obviously much calmer than before.
However, his face is not very good.
Chu Jiao persuaded from the side, and Yao Chi finally agreed, as long as the real culprit was found within half a month, Su Chong might be able to save his life.
This is already the biggest concession for an emperor.
Su Jinhua is naturally grateful to Dade, and at the same time, he hates the assassin in his heart.
In fact, as early as when he was assassinated, Su Chong had already ordered the whole city to be on guard and block all exits, but it was only because Su Chong was unconscious later, so it was delayed.
After Su Jinhua took over this matter, he immediately dispatched people.
On the other side, Chu Jiao was not idle: "Xiuying, you are the best at this matter, you immediately take people to investigate."
The princess and princess have problems one after another, I suspect that this matter was done by the same person, and you will go to the court to check who has any suspicious movements in the court recently. ”
Chu Jiao gave the order, but she still felt uneasy in her heart.
Doing it in the palace and seriously injuring the commander of the Royal Forest Army, who is such a martial art?
Who has such a skill?
Whether this matter has anything to do with the movement in this court. Does it matter? Chu Jiao's heart was in turmoil, and she planned to go out to see the situation.
Coming out of the palace, Chu Jiao observed the situation of the people in the capital along the way, and found that the people were not too uneasy.
It's just that as more and more people searched, the people also began to wonder what was going on, Chu Jiao sat on the attic on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence, looking at the chaos outside.
She hadn't paid any attention, but then she saw a figure around the corner, and the man glanced at her.
She immediately stood up, for she made eye contact with the man for a moment, and that kind of look was definitely not like that of ordinary people, even though he was wearing the clothes of ordinary people.
"Hurry up and catch up with me."
Chu Jiao said to the people around her, without exception, the person was extremely fast, and the guards around Chu Jiao failed to catch that person.
And Xiuying investigated things all day, and brought back some news when he came back.
"Recently, there is indeed a group of people wandering around the capital, and all of these people have been besieged in the capital.
There is no way to escape, and these people should be assassins, and even if they touch this piece, it is possible to find clues to the little princess and the little prince. ”
This is undoubtedly good news, the longer the little princess and the little prince disappear, the greater their danger, but it is also certain that they must have asked for something, if it was just for their lives, they would have chosen to kill them when they were in the palace, but they did not do so, which proves that the little princess and the little prince are of use to them.
"You immediately monitor the ministers of the imperial court, and pay special attention."
Xiuying immediately understood that he meant to do this to see if the assassin had anything to do with the minister, but things had reached such a point that everyone would probably avoid suspicion, who would be so stupid.
Chu Jiao looked at Xiuying, and then said, "You immediately announce to the public that the assassin has been caught."
Now he is being held with me. ”
In fact, the purpose of saying this is very simple, Chu Jiao wants to lure the snake out of the hole with one move, if they know, the assassin has already been caught.
There will definitely be some action, some panic, whether it is a person in the court or not, there will always be some trouble, and what Chu Jiao wants to catch is these troubles, even if it is a little bit, she can't let it go.
However, I didn't expect that the matter had just been announced, and the most untenable person was Jiang Wei, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
I saw that he hurriedly came and poured down the minister in Chu Jiao's mansion, who was already unruly, and went to the prince's mansion after all, he had to get His Majesty's consent, but he rushed over in disregard of the legislation.
As soon as Jiang Wei entered, Chu Jiao said very anxiously: "Princess, I heard that you have caught the real murderer, don't you know that there is such a thing?" ”
Chu Jiao looked at him with such an anxious look: "Now that people have caught more than one person, I have already told Your Majesty about this matter, and I believe that Your Majesty will give the result soon." ”
A trace of cold sweat broke out between Jiang Wei's forehead, he stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his neck and forehead, and said: "There is a problem with the princess, our Dali Temple can't get rid of it, and the interrogation and detention of prisoners is still more important in Dali Temple."
It's better for the princess to hand over the prisoner to me, so that it will be easier to do things, and I will definitely enforce the law impartially. "Nuwa Library
Jiang Jiao's words were good, with a businesslike appearance, Chu Jiao raised his eyes and glanced at her, his Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously, but his eyes were very sincere, with a hint of urgency, as if he was really anxious about this matter.
Chu Jiao said thoughtfully: "I can't be the master of this matter, I'm afraid I have to wait for His Majesty to decide, after all, I haven't figured out how to do these things yet." ”
"We are His Majesty's subjects, and naturally we are all princesses who think about His Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely detain the prisoners well, and there will never be a single mistake."
"What? Could it be that Shaoqing of Dali Temple thinks that it is not safe enough for people to be locked up with me? ”
"Jiang Wei didn't mean this, it's just that this is a matter in the court, and it's best to work in the court, of course, this is just a small suggestion from Weichen, if the princess insists on refusing, then Weichen has no other way."
"What did Lord Jiang say, what are these words, Lord Jiang is for the country and the people, but also for His Majesty, how can I be unwilling? Just ......"
She paused deliberately in her speech, and Jiang Wei looked up at him.
"Why? Since that's the case, then I'll let you take people away, and you will follow Xiuying to the back of the question. ”
Jiang Wei nodded, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently. He took a deep breath, as if something big was finally over.
"What's wrong? My lord? Isn't it nervous? ”
"There is no Weichen is the first time to see the Qin Wangfu in the Qin Wangfu, the Qin King is so magnificent, and he admires it in his heart, so he is a little embarrassed, and he also invites the princess, don't be a stranger."
Chu Jiao just nodded and smiled: "If you talk about style, the Qin Palace's Mansion is not as good as the palace in case, if you say so, wouldn't Lord Jiang not even be able to stand up?" ”
Jiang Wei laughed, and Chu Jiao didn't embarrass him.
Just before leaving, Chu Jiao and Xiu Ying looked at each other.
Xiuying nodded, and then followed the young master of Dali Temple out.
Just as the people went out to pick up people, they didn't expect an accident to happen at this time, and the so-called assassins all fled.
Going to Fuchu was chaotic.
Jiang Wei was angry, but he looked a little regretful.
"How can this be?
I think the thieves have set their sights on the princess.
Please also ask the princess to be cautious when she goes out in the future, don't let the thief take advantage of the loophole, since the thief ran away, then Weichen immediately sent someone to track down and tell the princess, so that the princess was worried. ”
Chu Jiao nodded, and then sent this Dali Temple Shaoqing to leave Xiuying and go back, and told Chu Jiao about the matter word for word, Chu Jiao had a hint of heaviness in her eyes: "In addition, who in this court has any movement?" ”
"Mrs. Hui hasn't made any moves yet."
"Then let's look at tonight, there will be movement tonight anyway.
In addition, this Shaoqing of Dali Temple must focus on observing him.
Where did he go? Who did you meet? Whatever you do must be done in detail. ”
Chu Jiao only waited in the palace for one night, and the next day did not wait for early morning.
Then there was news that this Shaoqing of Dali Temple was really not honest.
After the fake assassin escaped, he sent news to two families, one of the Liu family and the other of the Zhao family, both of which were extremely close to him.
"The Liu family and the Zhao family have always been duty-bound, but now this is a little unknown, let's see what tricks they can have?"
However, Su Jinhua's actions were very smooth.
After several days of hibernation, she captured an Assassin and drugged the Assassin to prevent him from committing suicide.
Chu Jiao didn't expect that the crooked fight would really let Su Jinhua catch the real person, no wonder the Shaoqing of Dali Temple would be so nervous that night.
"If they have a problem, we should arrest them first, in case they notice something is wrong." Su Jinhua said.
"No, what we're going to do now is to cast a long line and catch a big fish. A single Assassin proves nothing.
Are you sure you know from him who is behind the scenes?
They are all dead soldiers, since they are here with the preparation of death, they are now fleeing everywhere, maybe they are creating some opportunities for someone, and now the little prince and the little princess have not yet shown up, and we should not be anxious. Chu Jiao's words stabilized Su Jinhua's heart.
"You're right, I'm too anxious, but now I can't help it, my father is in danger, and I, as a daughter, can only do this."
"I see what you mean, you don't need to say more."
Chu Jiao patted her back comfortingly, she had always been a strong woman, but now she couldn't cry.
"Well, it's useless to be anxious now. Let's go see the Assassins first. ”
The Assassin remained motionless and tied to a pillar, not saying a word when he saw several people.
