Chapter 309: Assassination

Wen Zhen and Yan Sui traveled thousands of miles all the way to calculate freely, and the tearing on the Jinluan Palace continued.

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, the prince sighed secretly in his heart, he had always wanted to be a virtuous king, and he didn't like to come out, but now that it involves Xichuan, he is the party involved, and he has to jump out to hit the head, and he is very depressed.

But as the third child and his concubine's exploits became bigger and bigger, and more and more obstructive, he always had to lift his foot and kick the stone that stood in the way.

He pulled a piece of paper out of his sleeve and presented it to the emperor.

This is a testimony that Erchen received. Tu Jue, one of the former bandit leaders from the Freemasonry, said that Wen Zhen was invited by Xiao Lifeng, the great leader of the Freemasonry, to go up the mountain, often had secret discussions with several masters, participated in the Masonic League's ladder competition to seize the Dharma protector position, and even treated Yi Huiniang, the aunt of Xichuan Thorn Shi Yi Ming, and had a secret meeting with Yi Ming and Tang Xian when they went up the mountain...... In all kinds of ways, it shows that Wen Zhen's motives are not pure, saying that the Mutual Masonic League is an undercover agent, but there is nothing unfavorable to the Freemason, and the sons led the troops to suppress the bandits, and they have not received any clues from Lord Wen...... Even on the night of the suppression of bandits, Lord Wen was obviously on the mountain, and then disappeared mysteriously and blew up his residence, Erchen suspects that Lord Wen's move is to destroy the evidence, it is likely that she had attacked the bandit army that night, and rescued the scattered bandits of the Freemason......"

The prince pinched the scroll of paper in his hand, he didn't dare to say that Wen Zhen had taken almost all the elites of the Freemasonry, that would weaken his merits.

He didn't dare to say anything about the follow-up of the Freemason's suppression of bandits - Yi Ming sent him a letter, saying that the various branches of the Freemasonry were empty overnight, and it was clear that they had been closely monitored before, but the result was caught off guard, and Yi Ming proposed in the letter that the suppression of bandits must have failed to succeed, and the elite strength of the Freemasonry League had not been damaged, otherwise it would not have been possible to withdraw from Xichuan so smoothly.

The prince had a secret hatred in his heart. This hand, it's not just Yi Ming who is pitted, or him.

Yi Ming's letter is to hint at him, this is his handle. Before he returned to Beijing before, he had already sent people to the people of the DPRK and China to write a special book about his great achievements this time, and spread it to the whole world, if the so-called suppression of bandits was known to the DPRK and the central government, only some small thieves on Wufeng Mountain were exterminated, and the real strength of the Freemason League under the iceberg was not damaged at all, and he, the prince, was afraid that his ass would not be able to sit steadily.

But now that he can't care about the possibility of being restrained by Yi Ming, he has to cheer up and beat Wen Zhen down no matter what. Let her either go back to Beijing to ask for her guilt, or never dare to return to Beijing.

Thinking of the two people locked in the carriage, his heart calmed slightly.

The ministers looked horrified at this time. Although the prince's words were mild, the meaning was self-evident. What Master Wen was involved in the Masonic League incident is no longer a matter of inaction, and he is also suspected of colluding with bandits, and may even be involved with the Yi family and the Tang family!

Tang Jiyi's three families, although they have not yet torn their faces with the imperial court, they are equivalent to foreign vassals, and it is an iron rule that courtiers cannot make friends with foreign vassals.

The emperor took the testimony, read it again, and handed it to Li Xiangyao, Taiwei and Shang Shuling, and a few others, all of whom looked solemn after reading it.

Li Xiang was born in a poor family, and he had the best impression of Wen Zhen, and muttered: "These accusations are too appalling and have no basis for their words. ”

The prince immediately said: "There are still witnesses." Please ask your father to move to the Chengqian Palace and pass the witnesses. ”

The emperor glanced at him, and the crown prince met his gaze, only to feel that the look was quite strange, and he was slightly stunned.

Then he heard the emperor say, "Pass." ”

"Witnessβ€”"

The black carriage outside the Zhengyang Gate was guarded by the flag bearer guard on three floors inside and three layers outside.

The carriage has not allowed anyone to approach, but when it was about to drive to Zhengyangmen, it accidentally collided with an official's carriage and horse, and there was no dispute, and the other party immediately apologized again and again and got out of the way as soon as the other party saw the East Palace sign shown by the flag bearer.

So no one saw that the moment the two carriages collided together, a very small black shadow passed under the carriage.

The flag guard was very careful and inspected the car after the crash, but did not look at the bottom of the car.

Because in order to prevent people from making trouble at the bottom of the carriage, this carriage was specially made, and the bottom was so low that normal people could not enter it at all.

So this episode quickly turned the page.

There were two people in the carriage, one with a calm expression and the other with a frightened face.

Tu Jue, who looked calm, was loosely wearing shackles, and looked at the frightened little maid opposite.

Hearing that it was Wen Zhen's personal maid, the prince was captured on the night of the extermination of the Freemasonry, and after some threats and temptations, he successfully obtained the woman's confession. Together with him, he was sent to Tianjing to testify.

As for himself, he was naturally part of the deal between the Tang family and the prince, he went down the mountain after betraying the Freemasonry, and wanted to return to the Tang family, but he got the order of the prince halfway, so he pretended to be captured by the prince, went to Beijing to testify for the prince, and overthrew Wen Zhen and Yan Sui. After testifying, he will naturally not ask for his life, and will look for a death row prisoner in the prison to replace him, and he will return to northern Sichuan after the golden cicada comes out of his shell, and then he will naturally be rewarded by his son.

As for the transaction between the prince and the prince, the prince should naturally reciprocate. He didn't know the specifics, but he only vaguely heard that Gongzi had mentioned to the prince that the hinterland of the Central Plains near the south of Hengshui and the history of Huzhou were thorns, and he hoped that the prince would be careful in the selection of candidates.

The Tang family has been operating the three prefectures of Hengshui and Dingyang in northern Sichuan for generations, and they have infiltrated into the surrounding states and counties over the years, but the position of Thorn History is not something that the Tang family can control after all. Tu Jue felt that what Gongzi wanted must be not small, no matter what the reason was to master the history of Huzhou Thorn, as long as this matter could be accomplished, he would be a hero, and his credit was far from being comparable to winning the Freemason.

Thinking of this, Tu Jue couldn't help but sigh a little, Gongzi was obviously affectionate to Lord Nawen, but he sold her without hesitation.

Tu Jue thought carefully about what he was about to say in his heart, glanced at the little girl opposite with contempt, and turned his gaze away.

Loyalty to the slave is the first priority, although he has not done a few good things, but he is loyal to the son, this little girl is deeply favored by the Lord, but betrays the Lord to seek glory, I really disdain to take a look.

Although the things to do were the same, Tu Jue still despised this woman as a person, and he didn't bother to pay much attention to her.

What's more, before he set off, Gongzi specially sent someone to tell him that if he met Wen Zhen or Yan Sui's people, he should never pay attention to it, and he was not allowed to say a word, and it was best to avoid as far as he could.

Although Tu Jue respects his son, he doesn't dare to agree with this, people like King Yi and Lord Wen have to avoid it, why does a little maid beside them want him to retreat? Is he a master selected by the Tang family's martial arts competition, or is he the supreme protector who has been in control of the Freemason for many years with outstanding wisdom and scheming, so he can avoid a little girl?

Childe is too long, and others are angry to destroy their own prestige!

However, it's better to be careful, he doesn't have to avoid this girl, so that this girl doesn't dare to approach?

I heard that Wen Zhen is good at using poison, and her personal maid may also do this, but she should be on guard.

The carriage shook suddenly, and the little girl sitting opposite was unstable, so she fell on top of him, and Tu Jue stared at her hand, and sure enough, he saw her fingers with nails flick lightly-

Tu Jue kicked her away, slamming into the wall of the car with a thud.

Countless amounts of dust fell from the roof of the car. Choked and coughed.

The car door was slammed open, and the vigilant face of the flag bearer probed in, and Tu Jue frowned and pointed at the little girl: "Check her nails!" ”

The standard-bearers and guards escorting were all cronies of the prince, and they knew his identity, so without saying a word, they pulled up the girl and checked up and down.

Originally, they had already searched carefully, after all, Yan Suiwen Zhen was notorious, and no one around them dared to take it lightly. Even the girl's hair had been loosely examined and washed repeatedly, and she couldn't hide even a single hair from her body.

Check your nails again, there is no problem, Tu Jue is a little stupid, but he still does not change his suspicions, and says, "Let's take her another guard." Save yourself from looking at the eyes. ”

The standard-bearer came in another car and escorted the woman aboard. Tu Jue was relieved, waved his hand to drive away the smoke and dust, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were blood-red.

……

By the time the emperor led his ministers back to the Chengqian Palace, two witnesses were already waiting at His Royal Highness.

The crown prince told the emperor the identities of the two witnesses: "...... One is the supreme protector of the Freemasonry, and he witnessed Wen Zhen's suspicious behavior on Wufeng Mountain under the alias Hu Sanniang. The other person is Lord Wen's personal maid Cai Sang, who accompanied Wen Zhen to live in Feiliu Peak of Wufeng Mountain for many days, during which Yan Sui also went up the mountain and accompanied Wen Zhen to the ladder. ”

The prince had been avoiding talking about Yan Sui before, but at this moment, this sentence was suddenly thrown out, and the hearts of all the ministers were tight.

all know that the real purpose of the prince's attack on Wen Zhen is to knock Yan Sui into the dust, and now that they dare to say so, it is natural that these two will definitely give very solid evidence.

"Xuan."

Tu Jue came up to the hall, walking very steadily step by step, his eyes slightly lowered and looked at the ground, as if he was thinking about something. The crown prince stood in front of him, and his tone was calm: "Tu Jue, tell everything you know, and tell me carefully." ”

Tu Jue stood upright, staring at the pale and weak emperor on the throne, his eyes were quite invasive, and all the ministers frowned, but they also believed more in Tu Jue's identity as a bandit leader who did not listen to education.

The escort had already been replaced by Jin Wuwei, so naturally he couldn't allow this bandit leader sinner to look at the sky like this, and shouted: "Maniac, dare to see you without kneeling!" "Kicked in the knee socket of slaughter.

This kick was like opening a certain mechanism, and Tu Jue suddenly screamed wildly and pounced forward.

When he jumped up, it was like a tornado on the flat ground, and there was a chaotic sound of chains, and the prince stood in front of him, and as soon as he raised his eyes, his heart was broken, and he subconsciously pulled his legs and fled, while shouting: "Help! Help me! ”

When he ran away, he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly saw a subordinate official, who was desperately glaring at him, and the prince's heart flashed, and then he remembered that the emperor was behind him, and if he escaped, it would be equivalent to letting His Majesty face the assassin, not to mention being injured, he was frightened, and he was also dead.

And the witness he brought with him suddenly stabbed him, so how could he say it clearly?

Can't run!

Not only should you not run, but you should also rush forward bravely, fight to get injured, and stop this old thing!

Even if he can't stop it, he is so brave that he can clear his suspicions!

The prince of the electric lime room spun on his heels, and Shengsheng turned his retreating footsteps back, shouting: "The thief dares to pretend to be a witness to assassinate-" while pounced on Tu Jue.

But suddenly, a black shadow fell on his head, and the wind was heavy, and when he heard it, he knew that if he smashed the Tianling cover, it would definitely bloom.

No matter how much the prince wants to clear his name, he can't joke with his life. The heels that had already turned around were turning again, and they had already taken two steps back.

With a bang, it smashed on the tip of his toe, smashing him to the ground, and his face was distorted in an instant.

Looking at the thing that hit him again, there was another bang in the prince's head.

It turned out to be the chain on Tu Jue's body, which fell the moment he flew up.

The prince thought in horror, this is bad, in order to show his understanding of the slaughter, the chains are very loose, and now that the chains fall, he will not be able to tell.

But when he looked up, he saw that something even more terrifying was yet to come.

Tu Jue smoothly rushed past him and headed towards the emperor on the throne.

He didn't shout anything, all his movements were fierce and fierce, but the expression on his face was very distorted, and his eyes were full of fear and despair, as if someone had suddenly pretended to be another soul, and he was driven by that soul to do something that he would not dare to do.

At this time, there was chaos above the main hall, the ministers exclaimed in surprise, subconsciously ran away, and the guards guarding the gate of the hall rushed in, but they were blocked by the chaotic courtiers. The first few are old ministers, Li Sumo came over to save people, but he didn't catch his breath and almost fainted, Yao Taiwei and Ding Guogong are the heads of the generals, but they can't bring knives in the upper hall, the two rushed forward in a hurry, but because of the panic of several courtiers, Yao Taiwei scolded angrily: "Old goods give way!" As soon as he grabbed Ding Guogong's jade pendant and smashed it at Tu Jue, Ding Guogong shouted bitterly: "My thousand-year-old jade mountain!" In a fit of rage, he simply grabbed Mrs. Yao, shouted angrily, and smashed Lao Yao out.

Lao Yao was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

The Emperor froze on the throne, his frightened eyes reflecting the figure of the furious eagle that swooped down.

Tu Jue's boots had already stepped on the last jade step.

Someone on the jade steps raised their eyebrows.

Suddenly, an object flew in the air and smashed on the back of Tu Jue's head, the thing was not heavy, but Tu Jue couldn't help but pause, and then another thing roared and smashed into the same position, this time the stick-like thing was much heavier, and it hit the back of Tu Jue's skull with a muffled sound. Tu Jue shook, his body froze on the steps, he tried to look back to see who could shoot so accurately in such a panicked moment, and then he faced a pair of chaotic but hard faces.

It's an old lady.

Why...... Is it an old lady?

This was Tu Jue's last thought before he fell.
