Chapter 394: There is a follow-up scene
The main hall at the same time.
The emperor is on fire.
The Ten Princes knelt on the ground and appealed innocently.
Who did it?
Those who were allowed to enter the enclosure were the Janissaries and the guards except for the hunters and their two cronies.
Of course, it also includes the old man who was originally in charge of the paddock affairs, the horse farm stables and the handyman. So the Assassin must have been hidden as one of these identities!
This kind of investigation seems simple, but it is confusing.
After all, it takes time to mobilize the beast and prepare the bow and crossbow, and it is very likely that the preparations will be made before the hunt begins.
There are not many people who have the opportunity to do this, but there are no people who have the ability to do this......
The news came one by one.
After a pursuit, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the assassins were cornered, so they all committed suicide neatly. And in order to avoid being found clues, the way they committed suicide was hateful, and they all jumped off the cliff directly.
Only two Assassins fell off their horses during the escape because they were hit by Rong'an's hemp arrows, and were preemptively restrained by the guards. However, when they spoke, it was a serious accent. Plausible...... Hu cavity.
After shouting an inexplicable slogan and a code, they all spat blood.
It turned out that they had poison sacs tied to their teeth. One bite and ten breaths kill.
So these people are all dead!
The imperial doctors and military doctors jointly checked and found out whether this poison was not the poison used by the Great Zhou people, but more like it came from the Southern Domain or the Western Regions......
Hearing the news, many people's eyes drifted to Zhu Yongze.
Zhu Yongze came up with a sullen breath.
How? First of all, he said nonsense, and now he said that he was poisonous, but later on, do you want to say that this assassination was committed by the Cypriots? He has the most drug masters in Qingnan, so is he the first in the world to be pushed out?
He really didn't think wrong, and said that the slogan of the dead soldiers before they died was suspected to be a morale boost in Yan'an's army, probably "for Yan'an......
After the corpses were stripped of their clothes and thrown in a row, the Imperial Doctor discovered a clue: a piece of flesh had been burned off their right arm in front of them with a hot iron, and each Assassin was the same part, and the skin was the same size.
The wounds were still fresh, and it was evident that they had only been touched in the last few days.
Therefore, from Kan Xin to the doctors, they all felt that it was very likely that these people used this way to destroy some kind of mark that was enough to prove their identity. For example: tattoos and the like.
So the military doctors carefully scraped open the epidermis of the burned skin, and sure enough, they found that the inner flesh was blue-black.
Take a needle to pick out the blue and black flesh and make sure that the burned flesh is a tattoo.
Although these tattoos are removed, the marks left are faintly visible, and they are clearly in the shape of a bow.
And the tattoo of the bow is exactly all in Yan'an's army.
This one, with the clue of nonsense, poison and slogans, all points to ...... Yan An!
The mastermind behind it is Yan An?
Soon, after comparing the assassins, it was revealed that the guy who had committed suicide by poisoning himself was undoubtedly from the horse farm. The bodies of the other fallen cliffs have not yet been found, but falling from the high cliffs, I am afraid that they will be found beyond recognition, broken bones, and difficult to identify......
On the other side, there is also news that the appearance of the herd is indeed artificially attracted.
In a dense forest near a cliff in the deep mountains, some people attracted many fierce beasts with animal blood and injured animals in advance, and dug traps to make an inner enclosure.
That's why most of the teams didn't encounter the beast yesterday. Yesterday, all the guards followed the teams around the outer hills of the paddock, so they didn't notice anything wrong with the mountains. And today, when Hao Yan and the royal team approached the mountain, someone loosened the fence and released the animals.
In this way, the flares were lifted into the air one after another, attracting most of the patrols from several nearby hills at once. A quarter of an hour later, the Assassins took action.
After some investigation, I really found a clue in the land that surrounded the beasts. There were some dry horseshoe prints in the trap. It was raining the night before, so it's very likely to be left at that time. The point is that those horseshoe prints are not the same as those of the Great Zhou horses.
It just happened to belong to Yan'an Horse - that is, Zhu Chengyi Horse Farm, and the unique horseshoe of the batch of horses transported from Yan'an.
It's right again!
All kinds of signs show that this matter is inseparable from Zhu Chengyi and Yan'an people.
Zhu Chengyi took advantage of the horse farm and the palace, and could easily enter and exit the paddock. Wouldn't it be convenient for him to do anything if he did it? Especially today, with his stables in every team, it is easiest for him to do it, and it is easy for him to control the whole situation.
So, was Zhu Chengyi going to kill Yu Rongan, but he almost killed himself? - What a corollary! Everyone thought it was incredible.
"Maybe it's a thief shouting to catch a thief, directing and acting? Maybe this arrow is just a play? Zhu Yonghao held back a sentence.
"Brother Huang is too!" Zhu Yongtai sneered. "Dare to ask the prince of the world to deliberately get shot by an arrow, why?"
"Seek sympathy, seek distress from my father, and strive for the interests of Yan Andi."
"Hah! Risking your life to get sympathy? The prince of the world has no peerless martial arts, so he is not afraid that this thrilling arrow will kill himself? If the son of the world has three longs and two shorts, not only will it be impossible to benefit, but it will also be worth the war! took nearly ten lives, and risked the bullying that he might have to take after being discovered, the prince is so stupid in the eyes of the imperial brother? The son of the world is frank and free, and it is impossible to do this. ”
These words caused many people to fall on their heads.
Although Zhu Chengyi was messing around in the past, he was never excessive. If it is high risk and high reward, it is fine, but Zhu Chengyi cannot take a huge risk just for small profits. Inexcusable!
"In addition, the prince and Miss Yu Er are really in love, if the prince is planning, there is no need to let Miss Yu Er take risks, right?"
"What if the target of the prince is Miss Yu?"
"That's even more unlikely!"
Yu Bohong happened to hear this sentence when he came in.
"If the prince wants to kill the little girl, there are opportunities and methods, the little girl has already died in his hands I don't know how many times, there is no need to be so troublesome. In addition, if he really wants to do it, as long as he, the county lord and Twilight, miss it at random, and the little girl will be gone. Why bother! Why do you have to act in front of the emperor and me, for fear that we won't be able to catch his people and his feet? ”
Everyone nodded.
So, is there another reason, or is it framed?
The emperor sneered and looked at everyone, obviously he also felt that someone was framing Zhu Chengyi.
Zhu Yonghao took a deep breath. Hate! Hate! His plans were in vain! Why didn't Yu Rongan die? The plan to kill him could barely go ahead. For now, he can only try his best to pull the mastermind on Zhu Chengyi......
If you want to plan to kill, you naturally have to plan carefully.
In fact, before today, Zhu Yonghao thought about a lot of plans, some of which could not be implemented, and some of which lacked time.
But the pressure on him gradually increased.
It comes not only from Zhu Chengyi's interaction with the eighth child, from Zhu Chengyi's approach to Yu Bohong, but also from his father's increasingly obvious dislike and suppression of him, and from the increasingly clear relationship between Zhu Chengyi and Rong'an.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the matter between the two was brought up again, and the remarks of "born a couple" spread again. Zhu Chengyi did not shy away from his efforts, even if he came to the paddock, he kept circling around Yu Rongan. Two days ago, the two were married again......
All this forced Zhu Yonghao to deal with it quickly. These two people can't be combined, Yu Rongan must be killed, and if he misses this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to do it in the future. Especially after Guo Pin's incident, he will be even more restrained when he returns to Beijing......
Yu Rongan's identity is there, and she will definitely be thoroughly investigated if she dies, so the plan must be careful.
Those who take the blame must be indispensable.
In Zhu Yonghao's eyes, killing two birds with one stone or multiple birds is the best choice.
He made a set of plans after the Mid-Autumn Festival and selected Zhu Chengyi to take the blame.
So a while ago he had already started to play in the paddock.
It's just that he didn't know that Zhu Chengyi had long expected that he would do it in the hunting stage, and he didn't know that most of the pressure that made him nervous was actually deliberately released and promoted by Zhu Chengyi.
Zhu Chengyi managed the horse farm with the imperial order, and never dared to take it lightly, but he was not familiar with the place, and the horse farm was mixed, so he could only manage it in a loose way on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, he is a bit careless, but in fact, the racecourse has his henchmen everywhere.
Therefore, Zhu Yonghao's people infiltrated the horse farm to investigate and steal the iron hooves of the horses, and they have been discovered.
Zhu Chengyi told Rong An:
"At that time, I knew that he would frame me. In order to be safe, he should have prepared a two-handed plan. The first hand is Guo Pin, who moved his hands and feet in your riding boots. Your horse is out of control, and he just wants to take the blame on me. When his plan fails, he can only take a desperate gamble.
I gave him a chance. He just wants to create a false impression that I don't want to marry you, I don't want to be controlled by the emperor, I pretend to be happy on my face, I am really vicious in secret, and I want to assassinate you to get rid of this control. I've been waiting.
As long as you die, no one will know his secrets, and his revenge will be avenged. The emperor will definitely be angry with me, and the emperor is already suspicious of me, and he will definitely not spare me this time. Whether it's to give an explanation, or because of my boldness, or Yan An's ambition, he will definitely punish me severely. And if you die, your father's anger will surely avenge you, and he will not spare me. Even if I can escape, I'm afraid that Yan An will be implicated. In this way, Zhu Yonghao's other purpose has been achieved.
And I am good friends with the King of Thailand, and this hunt is basically arranged by the Ten Princes, and the Ten Princes are also standing with the King of Thailand, so the King of Thailand can't escape. The Ten Princes will be heeled. The king of Thailand will be rejected by the emperor because of his ambition.
In this way, you are the one who dies, and the unlucky one is a group, and he is the only one who benefits!
And since I am insightful, I naturally cannot sit idly by. I thought that even if he caught the pawn he planted, he could deny it. So it's useless. Rather than that, I simply plan to play a bitter trick. I will save you with my life, then the suspicion between me and Yan An will naturally be solved.
Zhu Yonghao prepared a lot of evidence against me, but he never imagined that I was willing to block arrows for you, and I almost died. If I want to kill you, how can I defend you from arrows? That's a contradiction!
In addition, along the way, I have some contact with your father, so I have kept a short distance from the emperor's team. But the paddock was too big, Zhu Yonghao was far away in the team on the other side, the scheduling was unfavorable, and I didn't expect that when the signal flicked up, the emperor's team watched us. Similarly, if I want to kill you, I will only deal with it secretly, and it is impossible to push myself into the abyss in front of the emperor and your father.
So not only did all the evidence he prepared be invalidated, but it also became counter-evidence that I was framed and murdered! The emperor will investigate thoroughly! He who has a grudge against me will be even more suspicious. Changning and I need to explain, the emperor is afraid that something will happen to us, and he is also afraid that this matter will make a big fuss and spread out, and he will give all kinds of compensation when he returns to Beijing. I think that in the next few decades, Yan'an will be fine! ”
Zhu Chengyi took Rong An's hand: "You and I will get married, which can be regarded as a reassurance for me to you and your father." Your father agrees with this fight. If I let you follow me, I will not put you in danger. Before you and I get married, I should try my best to clear the obstacles so that you have no worries. ”
"It's too risky!" How much blood Zhu Chengyi shed Rong An has always looked at in her eyes, although the bitter meat plan is useful, she always feels that it is not worth it. "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" She was worried about it in vain, and she lost her soul for a long time.
"If I told you, would you say yes? You will definitely hesitate to mother-in-law. So it's Changning, and I only told it last night. In case you show your stuffing and let the emperor see something, this matter will be bad. And the more you worry, the more out of control you get, the more aggrieved your father will be, and the more you and your father can get from the emperor. ”
"So, or are we a blessing in disguise?" Fox! It's all foxes! Rong An scolded. It's all a calculation!
"I didn't tell you, but there's another reason." There was a gleam in his eyes. "Didn't you always say that something was missing between you and me? We should all be moved, heartbeat, and excited, but you are still not satisfied, then I guess what you lack is probably painful. Let you feel a pain for me, and probably you will know how to cherish me. So, he didn't tell her, just so that she could face the pain of loss.
“……”
Rong An was speechless. He was probably right. She's too much. Indeed, when she saw him bleeding profusely, she was left with only pain after a moment of bewilderment. At that moment, she was annoyed, and she didn't have the chagrin that she cherished earlier.
"I'm sorry to make you sad."
"I'm sorry to bother you!" Rong An gave him a blank look. "I'm no longer hypocritical. But then, you must not calculate me like this again. "The main thing is that she can't calculate him. Hateful!
"It's a deal!"
Rong An couldn't help but reach out and touch his head again, it was still fine.
"That'...... Can the emperor find out about Zhu Yonghao? ”
"Nope! His hands and feet will definitely be clean, and he will definitely not leave a handle. "Because Zhu Yonghao can't afford to lose anymore." I'm not going to report him for what I found at the racecourse earlier. Because the more prepared he is, the cleaner his hands and feet, and the greater his ability to dispatch, the more nervous and annoyed the emperor will be......"
The emperor needed to give Yan An an explanation, and he was even more afraid that his throne would be threatened. We will not continue to let it go.
"Didn't he escape, then?"
"No!" Zhu Chengyi squinted and laughed, like a fox. "I've been so badly injured and I've shed so much blood, it's a loss to get that little bit."
"Do you have a backhand?"
"No, this is just an introduction!" His smile deepened. "When the fish bites the hook, it struggles, so I don't use a fishing line but a cotton line, and when the fish breaks the line and escapes, the fish farmer will be afraid that he has raised a monster, and guess what the result is?"
"Hands-on?"
"Dry Pond!"
"......" didn't understand much.
"Rest easy. There is also post-play. ”
