Zheng Fan put the dagger back and sat down on the edge of the bed.

The fifth prince lying on the ground stretched out his hand with some difficulty,

Zheng Fan didn't care, silently took out his Zhonghua brand tin box, took out a cigarette, and knocked it on the back of his hand.

The fifth prince shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then got up with difficulty, gritting his teeth in pain.

Seeing this, Zheng Fan put down the box, stretched out his hand, and helped the fifth prince over and let him lean on the bed.

"Is the injury real?"

Zheng Fan asked.

The Fifth Prince nodded and pointed to his left chest.

"Poked yourself?" Zheng Fan asked.

The fifth prince frowned and said:

"You should first ask if there is no poison on the knife?"

The implication is that you're skipping.

You didn't like me jumping before, but now you're like this!

Zheng Fan shook his head, stretched out his finger and tapped on the left chest of the fifth prince, but he didn't use force, and the wound of the fifth prince was not touched.

"I am a person who has fought on the battlefield and I don't know how many people go back and forth, this position, but if the other party is not a recruit, if you go down, it will inevitably be fatal if it is not poisonous, since you are not dead, it proves that you stabbed yourself."

The kind of person who is shot and shot in the chest at every turn is nothing, and he is raised and jumped up and down, which is pure nonsense.

In addition, the assassin must be good at martial arts, as long as the knife is stabbed here, a little bit of qi and blood is instilled into it, that tearing, that concussion, where can you go down to heal the injury?

The fifth prince nodded a little depressedly,

"Yes, I stabbed it myself."

"Sick?"

The fifth prince didn't rush to speak, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the coffee table not far away,

"I'm thirsty."

Marquis Zheng looked at him,

He also looked at Marquis Zheng.

ultimately

Marquis Zheng got up helplessly, walked over and poured a cup of tea, and handed it over.

The fifth prince took the teacup, the tea was warm, and he drank several sips before he eased up.

"I said, you are a marquis, and our Dayan's military exploits are indeed admirable, but I am a prince anyway, can you give me some face?

Don't say I'm honestly afraid, I know you won't anyway, but at least be respectful? ”

Marquis Zheng dusted off the dust of the armor on his shoulders,

Said lightly:

"Get down to business."

"Tsk."

The five princes held the teacups, as if organizing the language.

Marquis Zheng asked directly;

"Poison, did you order it?"

"Knock ......"

The teacup fell off and landed on the bed.

"Zheng Fan, you can't talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with me, I was also wronged, so many people died in the end of a good banquet.

Did I take the wrong medicine to do this?

Who will dare to come to my feast after this? ”

Zheng Fan turned his head to look at the five princes,

"So what are you pretending to be poisoned here? Missed me? ”

If it weren't for the poisoning of the five princes, Marquis Zheng would not have come to Yingdu.

The fifth prince immediately shook his head, his face showing obvious discomfort, these words, combined with the ground under his feet, gave people a bad atmosphere association.

"Tell me what you know."

"You're busy?"

"I'm sleepy."

"The banquet was organized by me, and many people came for the sake of my face as a prince, and then, the wine was poisoned, and a large number of people died."

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

"Tell me about yourself and why you stabbed yourself."

The Five Princes were silent.

Zheng Fan stood up,

Road:

"Don't say yes, my guards will rush in later, you will be tied up, sent back to Yanjing, go to Dali Temple, go to Zongren Mansion, go to the back garden where Your Majesty is, say slowly.

There's no reason, at this time, there's no reason to keep it secret or anything. ”

After speaking, Zheng Fan walked out.

He doesn't like the way of talking, it's tiring and cumbersome.

The most important thing is that since opening the mansion, Zheng Fan's mentality has changed, and he has begun to advocate that Lao Tzu can have soldiers in his hands, and everything else doesn't matter.

This is a typical warlord mentality.

floated,

Inflated.

"Zheng Fan." The fifth prince called out to Marquis Zheng, "I know the person who assassinated me." ”

Zheng Fan stopped, not so patiently waiting for the following.

"His name is Wen Yin, he is the prince's person, and he is responsible for collecting people from the rivers and lakes for the prince."

Moon Yin?

Zheng Fan turned around, looked at the Fifth Prince, who was sitting on the bed, and asked:

"You know Moon Yin too?"

The five princes were a little crying and laughing,

Road:

"I should ask you this, right, you are a commander of the army, how come even Wen Yin knows?"

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to his face and replied, "You should know why I know." ”

"Yes, I know, it must have been Xiao Liu who told you, after all, you are the biggest cadre of the Six Masters Party, straight lady thief, what kind of luck is Xiao Liu, to support a person, to be able to support a person from a school captain to a military meritor."

"You're off topic."

"I know, but do you know it, when you ask me that, I'm hurt, worse than the wound in my chest.

Lone is also a prince, Lone is also a prince, and there are still 3,000 nails in the rotten ship, so Lone can't know that he Wenyin is a hunting dog under the prince?

I like to do carpenter work and watch construction sites, which is true, but I am at least the son of my father, even if I can't compare with Xiao Liu, a big wedding, set off so many back-ups;

But I'm not going to be so unbearable in your heart, am I? ”

grievance

Very aggrieved,

Very aggrieved.

Zheng Fan smiled and said, "You were assassinated by Wen Yin personally?" ”

"Yes, I can see it clearly, it's him, when I was in Yanjing City, once the prince had a birthday, I saw him in the prince's mansion.

Later, it was verified and his identity was known. ”

Zheng Fan didn't think about whether this discussion of the first meeting was true or not, whether it was a coincidence, it was hard to say, but what people said was that the prince was a prince after all, and he was not conspicuous on weekdays, but it was still not a big problem to secretly raise a group of people to find out some news for himself.

"Moon Yin's knife stabbed me."

"And then, you're not dead?" Zheng Fan asked.

"My guards tried their best to protect me, his knife didn't stab deeply, and I was wearing hedgehog armor at the time, so it was only a little broken at first."

"And then, stabbed yourself?"

"Yes, I'm scared, I'm scared."

The Fifth Prince almost roared.

"My second brother, my crown prince, he actually wants to kill me!"

Zheng Fan walked back to the bed and looked at the five princes.

"Zheng Fan, yes, we are princes, but we are also brothers, I have always felt that the brothers of our family are different from those in other countries and those in the history books.

The boss has always looked like the boss, and the boss doesn't care about the throne anymore, he has no chance;

The second child is calm, and the sixth child is even more demonic;

I'm a carpenter.

I didn't want to fight,

I didn't even want to fight,

Why did he kill me? ”

The fifth prince ripped off his clothes, revealing a bandaged wound, and pointed there,

Continued:

"The third brother is gone, in fact, the brothers are all uncomfortable, not only because the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, but because of us, in fact, we all have feelings, and we really have feelings.

ZHENG Fan,

Do you believe it?

Our brothers really have a brotherhood. ”

Zheng Fan didn't speak.

"Since the prince thinks I'm an eyesore and wants to get rid of me, what can I do? I can only cooperate, Moon Yin didn't stab me to death......"

"Wait a minute, didn't the assassins who assassinated you all poisoned themselves?"

"A few of them, including Wen Yin, escaped, and the rest were surrounded by the follow-up guards and the city patrol division, and they bit the poison sac in their teeth and committed suicide."

"In the dossier, it was not written."

The dossier Zheng Fan read was written that all the assassins who assassinated were either killed or committed suicide themselves.

"I didn't say that." The fifth prince replied as a matter of course, "I even felt that Wen Yin's knife was not good enough, so I added another knife to myself." Fortunately, my craftsmanship is exquisite, and this knife did not hurt the root, but I was afraid that it would be seen that it was wrong, so I swallowed some pills again, so that I looked poisoned and weak, and no matter how good the doctor was, I would think that I was unconscious before the residual poison in my body was cleared. ”

"You still haven't said why you're stabbing yourself."

"I can't afford to provoke, I can afford to hide, I have abolished myself myself, can I? I just want to slowly recuperate here, for a year and a half, until I .........."

Speaking of which, the fifth prince was stuck.

Zheng Fan understood what he was going to say, and raised him until his father died.

After the new monarch ascended the throne, he was free, as long as he continued to be well-behaved, even if the new monarch was the one, at that time, he would not kill himself, but would treat himself well, set an example of brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood, and maintain a heavenly harmony. I love

"Marquis Zheng, is this explanation enough?"

The succession has entered the final stage,

King Jingnan said to himself that after autumn, he would go to Yanjing.

Obviously, the five princes wanted to take advantage of this assassination to take themselves out and hibernate to avoid the limelight.

The reason is reasonable, and it is also in line with the character of the five princes.

In fact, none of Emperor Yan's seven sons, six of whom are adults, are stupid;

The qualifications of the five princes are okay, plus there is also the blessing of the "carpenter" prince who others don't know, but Zheng Fan and the demon kings know.

But compared to the other two, he really didn't have much chance, admitting cowardice, it was forced by the situation.

"Please also ask Hou Ye Zheng to keep it secret for me, I will wake up after lying for half a month, and then I will be weak and bedridden all the time."

"Okay."

Zheng Fan nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go back to sleep." ”

"Don't talk to me more? I have been lying in bed pretending to be unconscious, unable to hold a hammer and nail, and it is also very stuffy. ”

"You have a good rest, I'm tired too."

After that,

Marquis Zheng turned around again and walked out again.

however

This time

When you walk to the door,

The fifth prince obviously didn't stop him, but he stopped by himself.

Zheng Fan turned around and faced the five princes again,

Just stared at him,

The five princes were a little hairy in their hearts.

"Moon Yin, in fact, is not the prince's person." Zheng Fan said.

"Huh? What the? The fifth prince was shocked, "Marquis Zheng, you ...... What do you mean? Who is Moon In? ”

"Wen Yin is a secret stake arranged by Xiaoliu next to the prince."

"What, Xiaoliu's people, how, how come, why did Xiaoliu kill me, why is he, no, it's impossible........."

Zheng Fan tilted his head slightly,

Looking at the five princes,

Reached

pointed at him,

face,

With a slightly playful smile,

Road:

"You actually already knew that Moon Yin was a member of Xiaoliu, right?"

"I ........."

"Oh, hehe." Marquis Zheng laughed, "So, after I came in just now, the lines that stood by your bed and read it, anyone who dared to stand in the way of the Sixth Highness had to die;

In fact

In your heart at that time,

Panicked,

Do you really think that Ben Hou is here to make up for you for Xiao Liuzi? ”

The Fifth Prince sat there with his whole body, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Zheng Fan took two steps forward,

continued;

"Also, what I asked you just now, did you think that I was tempting, testing whether you know that Wen Yin is Xiaoliu?"

Cold sweat began to appear on the fifth prince's face.

"So, since I entered the house, Your Highness, you have actually been acting, wow, this is the actor, admire, admire."

"Marquis Zheng, how did you see it?"

"Oh, I didn't see it, just before leaving, cheat, anyway, you don't care that Wen Yin is the prince's person, and naturally you don't care if you know that Wen Yin is actually the person who is Xiaoliu, tell you the truth, you are going to admit it, why don't you try?"

"......" the Five Princes.

Zheng Fan shook his finger at the fifth prince,

Road:

"Fortunately, I've been dealing with some letters since I was made a marquis."

It was the blind man who was worried that the lord was too idle and his face was not good-looking, so he gave Zheng Fan the handling of some letters, so that the lord could have time to write letters and use them as pen pals to pass the time.

"So, there is one thing, if Your Highness knew about it, you would definitely be even more surprised."

"What's the matter...... Please also ask the Marquis of Pingxi to make it clear. ”

"That is, Moon Yin died three months ago."

……

Excerpts from the letter:

Xiao Fanzi, Wen Yin's old dog died, and he died of illness.

In the early years, I asked this old dog to go to the prince to be a secret stake, and at that time the prince was short of people, so he quickly went up.

Since a few years ago, he has expressed a sense of wanting to retire, I know, he is tired, he feels old, and he wants to live a peaceful life in a few years.

But he also knows that I won't agree, and he himself knows that the only fate of retreating by himself is either to be killed by the prince's people or by my people.

But even so, he still revealed this meaning, because he was really tired, so he knew that it was impossible, but he still wanted to say it in front of me, sigh.

I'll listen to it;

Then, he died, died in the inn, man, he was old, and he was really gone all of a sudden.

I heard from the people at the inn that the night before he died, he asked for several pots of wine and a plate of peanuts, ate and drank most of the night, and when he returned, he fell asleep to death.

It's not that he killed, it's not poisoned, it's really his own death, and he should know that his day has come.

He also left me a letter, which directly said: Sixth Master, I can rest.

The men of the east palace buried him, and set up a grave on the west side of the city.

I took the time to take a look, and looked at it from a distance, and the old dog was lying there, and it should have rested.

Little Fanzi,

You say, what's the difference between me and the old dog?

He was tired, but knew he couldn't rest; I'm actually the same, I didn't want to fight in my early years, but that brother didn't let me, my father didn't let me, so I had to be pulled back.

When the old dog is tired, he lies down under the grave and rests;

What about me?

What should I do with my daughter-in-law and my son?

What's more, the two women have it in their stomachs again!

Little Fanzi,

After getting married, I realized that I was good alone, and I didn't need to find a second bamboo mat when I rested alone.

……

"I'm not lying!"

The fifth prince said excitedly,

"What I saw was Moon Yin!"

Marquis Zheng nodded,

Road:

"What you see, Your Highness, maybe, is not true."

……

"Squeak......

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and the little guy in green clothes walked into the courtyard, and instead of pushing the door, he leaned to the window.

Whispered:

"That Hou Ye, you've entered the city."

Inside the house,

A response came:

"Have all the men been withdrawn from the city?"

"In response to your words, I obeyed your orders early and withdrew, and now, the younger one is still in the city waiting for your orders."

"Good, good."

"Buzz!"

Suddenly,

A chopstick flew out of the crack in the window and directly penetrated the neck of the young man in Tsing Yi.

The little guy clutched his neck and fell to the ground in disbelief.

forthwith

The door of the house was pushed open from the inside,

Out of it a year old man,

Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, wearing a green snake navy robe, with gold wire patterns on the cuffs, and stepping on red-faced black-soled boots, the complexion is ruddy, the skin is delicate, and the maintenance is excellent;

The

It is clear that he was the head of Situ Leishi's internal supervisor, and later assisted Situ Yu's old eunuch.

The old eunuch stretched out his hand,

Pick up the chopsticks,

Stick out your tongue,

licked the blood stains on the chopsticks,

subsequently

And he shook his head to himself,

Talking to himself:

"It's not good,

As soon as the marquis came, he took advantage of the place where the first emperor of Shishan was buried, humiliated the queen mother, imprisoned the young master, and sent the entire palace;

hiss

Mo Fei,

That Hou Ye already knows the truth of the matter? ”
