For several days, the assassins in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment still insisted that they were from Wuzhu Kingdom, and the envoys of Wuzhu Kingdom were stupid enough to flee after hearing the news......

The Criminal Department chased the envoy outside for eight days before arresting the envoy, and before the case was settled, the envoys of the other subject countries were not allowed to leave the capital for a single step.

In the Wei State Mansion, Jiang Rong was still lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries.

He was pulled back from the ghost gate by the imperial doctor, and the worry about his life was gone, but due to excessive blood loss, he was in a coma for several days before he opened his eyes.

He woke up, and the Queen Mother, who had been guarding the Wei Mansion for several days, breathed a sigh of relief, took Jiang Rong's hand and called "Thank God, ancestors bless".

"Imperial Grandmother ......"

The Queen Mother frowned and sighed: "Ei'er, you can scare your grandmother and your father to death, if you have three long and two short, who should inherit the country?" ”

"Does it matter who inherits?" Jiang Ei's face was pale, and his expression was also indifferent, as if he had experienced a catastrophe of life and death, and he saw everything.

He can't deal with the father of the child in the villain's womb, doesn't it mean that he has to compromise with the Prime Minister's Mansion, or look forward to the sun coming out in the west, can Gu Chuyu take the initiative to return the power?

Wei Guocheng came in from outside, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "Your Highness just escaped from death, how can you say such depressing words!" ”

"Uncle, I can't die, what does it matter what I say." Jiang Rong closed his eyes and said lightly, "Don't tell me that the assassin was sent by Gu Chuyu, Gua Tian Lixia, he is not so stupid!" ”

"Alas, it is true that the assassins are not from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but from the Wuzhu Kingdom, and they assassinated His Highness to avenge the imperial court."

"That's the one who said that Daning treated them badly?"

Wei Guogong nodded, "Wuzhu Country is the most remote and barren in the Mobei Kingdoms, they have been looking forward to Daning to help them more, this time the Wanshou Festival is coming, they are also looking forward to receiving more rewards back, who knows that the Ministry of Rites looks down on Wuzhu Country, and the things given do not increase but decrease, Wuzhu Country is understandably dissatisfied, but they do such a thing, it is really outrageous." ”

"Don't worry, your father will definitely take this breath for you, Your Majesty has always looked forward to the harmony of the countries, and he doesn't like to meet anyone, but now he has decided to send troops to conquer Wuzhu Country."

"Erchen is grateful for his father's concern, but who doesn't beat him, doesn't his father have to listen to Gu Xiang, isn't the soldier's surname Jiang?"

"Ei'er!" The Queen Mother was a little displeased.

Wei Guogong said: "Your Highness, this time it is the Wuzhu Kingdom that has deceived people too much, and Gu Xiang has no reason not to send troops, unless he has other hidden secrets, or he wants to cover up." ”

The Queen Mother sighed and patted the brocade to be comforted: "You are here to recuperate, don't think about anything else, Duke Wei and His Majesty will take care of everything for you, and they will not let His Royal Highness the Prince of Daning suffer in vain!" ”

Jiang Rong nodded, he wanted to be a good man, but a good man had to return it if he was beaten!

Uncle is right, he is the only prince of Daning, and the assassination of Wuzhu Kingdom by Wuzhu Kingdom simply put Daning's face on the ground and stepped on it, Gu Chuyu has no reason not to send troops.

After the Queen Mother left, Wei Guogong sat on the edge of the bed and said earnestly: "Your Highness, what you said to the minister before was too hasty, how could Your Highness think of letting the Prime Minister go?" Even if His Royal Highness is willing to let go of that woman, he should not abandon the dignity of the royal family! ”

"Uncle is serious, I didn't disregard the dignity of the royal family."

"Your Highness, think about it, the Ministry of Rites has always obeyed the orders of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it weren't for Gu Xiang's orders, how could the Ministry of Rites dare to favor one over the other." Wei Guogong also said, "There is a debtor who is wronged, and Wuzhu Guoding also knows who to ask for debts, but they don't kill Gu Xiang, but assassinate His Highness, if they are not instructed by others, they are clearly picking up soft persimmons and pinching!" ”

"Uncle, it's not like it......" Jiang Rong frowned.

"Your Highness, you are taking care of each other's crimes, how can you not feel uncomfortable in your heart."

Wei Guogong was like this, Jiang Rong really didn't know what to say, so he had to divert the topic and said: "By the way, Ye Zhi is fine, uncle, you have to thank him on my behalf, if he hadn't saved him desperately, I would have died a long time ago." ”

"Ye Zhi was also injured, but not as seriously injured as His Highness, he had already returned to the forbidden army camp yesterday."

"That's good, I'll pay him back when I'm healed."

Drunken Immortal Residence.

After taking off men's clothes for nearly half a month, Mei Xiaoren changed back into his previous clothes again, held a folding fan, came to the Drunken Immortal Residence at noon, and entered the private room on the second floor.

Several former subordinates were waiting inside, and when they saw her, they stood up and saluted, and called her "sir".

Mei Xiaoren smiled politely, "I'm no longer an adult, you don't have to be like this, sit down." ”

She came here because she received a letter of grievance from them.

She has stepped down from her post as the governor and is also guilty of bullying the king, so she should not have asked about the affairs of the Shangjing Government Office again, so as not to affect these subordinates who had been loyal to her, but what they wrote on the letter made her really uncomfortable to read.

Fu Cheng took the lead and said: "No matter what the identity of the adult is, the adult will always be the adult we respect. ”

Another official said: "When the adults were here, we went to the Beijing Government to be afraid of anyone in the capital, and even the six departments had to be polite to us, who has just left now, and the forbidden army rode on our heads, and they all said that the absence of adults in the Beijing Government is like a tiger without teeth and claws, and it can't bite people." ”

Fu Cheng answered: "Yes, my lord, on the night of His Highness's assassination, after learning the news, he rushed back to the yamen overnight, wanting to send someone to arrest the assassin, but who knew that the forbidden army suddenly came to the door and said that the assassin was going to arrest him, so I couldn't wait to interfere, so I also sent troops to surround the yamen, and no one was allowed to enter or leave." ”

The official was indignant: "My lord, the forbidden army is now entering and leaving the city unscrupulously, so overstepping, it is simply lawless!" ”

Mei Xiaoren thought for a while and said: "The forbidden army is in the order of His Majesty, if you want to sue them for transgression, I am afraid it will not work, and His Royal Highness was assassinated, and there is such a big mess in the city, if the forbidden army accuses you of negligence, it will be a good deal." She shook her fan and sighed, "If you want to straighten this waist, you can't just rely on people to support your waist, you have to speak with your ability, make up for your mistakes first, and gag their mouths." ”

"What do you mean, let me wait to find out about this case?"

Mei Xiaoren nodded.

Fu Cheng was worried: "But the prisoners are all in the criminal department, and the lowly officials have nothing in their hands, how to investigate?" ”

"The assassin's mouth is tightly closed, he can't ask why, and it's useless when it comes to your hands, so let's start somewhere else." Mei Xiaoren told again, "Investigate quietly, don't startle the snake, and don't let the adults in the Criminal Department know that you are robbing the errand, I will try to find useful clues for you." ”

Several people bowed their hands: "Thank you, sir." ”

Mei Xiaoren picked up the teacup on the table and saluted them with tea instead of wine, "I wish you to investigate this case as soon as possible, and raise your eyebrows." ”
