Chapter 20: Caught in the Storm (3)

Sheng Mingyu looked at the guards patrolling the city again, and looked at the armor they were wearing, it should be the talent of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Since he is a person from the Five Cities Terracotta Division, why is he here for no reason today?

Could it be that something big is wrong?

Remembering that Mingjue said that he was going to see Mr. Zhang, Sheng Mingyu felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Could it be that these people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are here for Mr. Zhang?

Mr. Zhang is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and it stands to reason that there is no handover with the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

Anxin followed closely behind Sheng Mingyu and kept running towards the crowd around the street.

The people on the street used to gather in front to watch the excitement.

But what kind of excitement is it?

It was able to attract so many ordinary people, regardless of the patrol of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, who stopped and watched.

After a while, Sheng Mingyu took Anxin's hand and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.

The crowd of onlookers watched a little lady rushing in with a maid, worried that Sheng Mingyu would hit her, so they avoided it.

Sure enough, something really happened to Ming Jue.

I saw that Ming Jue and more than a dozen young masters of the same age were tied hand and foot together and thrown on the ground.

There was a corpse lying behind them, and looking at the age and clothing of the corpse, Sheng Mingyu guessed that the corpse should be Mr. Zhang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, in Mingjue's mouth.

On the corpse, I saw a dagger, pierced into the heart of the corpse.

What's going on?

Could it be that among the people around Ming Jue, someone assassinated Mr. Zhang?

Thinking of this, I saw the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses behind Ming Jue, who were holding sharp blades at them.

Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but turn white, took Anxin's hand, squeezed out of the crowd again, and came to a tree.

Sheng Mingyu leaned against the tree and began to think carefully in his mind.

What the hell is going on?

Seeing that his girl had an anxious look on her face, Anxin hurriedly opened her mouth and asked the girl.

"Girl, what the hell is going on? Why is Childe among those people?"

If she knew what was going on, she wouldn't have retreated behind the tree.

The reason why she retreated behind the tree was because she knew that someone would gossip behind it.

Sure enough, a few well-dressed young men were gathering together, pointing to the people around in front of them, and began to whisper.

"What a sin! I don't know where a killer came out, and he actually killed Mr. Zhang from the Hanlin Academy with a knife, and now the killer is mixed in the group of teenagers in front of him. If you can't find the killer, I'm afraid you'll be involved with those teenagers. ”

Hearing the voice, Sheng Mingyu hurriedly approached and asked the boy who had just spoken.

"Dare to ask Childe, where did that killer come from? How the hell did he kill Scholar Zhang of the Hanlin Academy?"

Sheng Mingyu asked, and the sons who had just spoken glanced at Sheng Mingyu and looked at Sheng Mingyu's dress, not like a country woman, but like an official lady in Tokyo.

It's just that she asks what these people do?

Seeing those people looking at him with puzzled eyes, Sheng Mingyu hurriedly explained.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad guy. It's just that my own brother is also involved, and for the sake of my brother's life, I can only boldly ask a few sons. ”

Listening to Sheng Mingyu's explanation, he also said it in the past.

In this case, they simply told the girl in front of them about the cause and effect of this matter.

After several people discussed, it was finally decided that the boy who had just spoken would explain to Sheng Mingyu.

"Girl, today is the day when Mr. Zhang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, went out to give a lecture, so he gathered a lot of people to listen to the study."

As Mr. Zhang spoke, a flying knife suddenly flew out of the crowd and pierced Mr. Zhang's heart, Mr. Zhang died, and those lifters hurriedly rushed up to check Mr. Zhang's injuries.

"It's just that before they could get close to Mr. Zhang, the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division got the news that someone had assassinated Scholar Zhang of the Hanlin Academy, so they brought a few teams of men and horses to surround them."

Sheng Mingyu listened, and the anxious look on his face became even more intense.

What should I do?

Ming Jue was involved in such an assassination incident, if he couldn't find the real murderer in the end, wouldn't it be a burden to Ming Jue?

From what the man said, Sheng Mingyu found several suspicious points.

As soon as Mr. Zhang died, the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division got the news and rushed over?

Why is it so coincidental?

If it weren't for the coincidence, today's assassination incident was premeditated.

The actions that came to see Mr. Zhang today were just a scapegoat for that person.

However, it is unfortunate that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division came in time, presumably the murderer did not take advantage of the chaos to escape, and he must still be among those people around Ming Jue.

Just to find the real murderer, how easy is it?

What's more, she is a girl's family, if you want to investigate this matter, her identity is not very convenient.

Seeing that Sheng Mingyu was silent for a long time, her face became more and more pale, presumably worried about her younger brother in her heart.

"Girl, Mr. Zhang is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and he is also the prince's attendant, and the prince has always been polite to Mr. Zhang. Now that Mr. Zhang has been assassinated, if you don't find out the real culprit, I'm afraid that your brother and those innocent people will be implicated. ”

The man who had just spoken to Sheng Mingyu looked at her carefully, looking at her more and more nervous, presumably worried about the younger brother in her mouth, right?

"Look at the girl's dress, it should be everyone's ladies, hurry up and call someone to go back and find the elders in the family!"

Elders in the family?

What other elders does she have?

My parents have died, and my grandmother has not asked about the world for many years, is it possible to go to the Shengguo Mansion to find those people?

No way! She's definitely not going!

If she told those people in the Shengguo Mansion all these things, I was afraid that those people would not help her, but would fall into the ground.

If you take her with her, you will also go to prison.

So the Sheng family mansion left by her parents, in the eyes of the Duchess of Sheng Guo, is it like picking up things.

She must not let such a thing happen! Absolutely not!

Sheng Mingyu glanced at Ming Jue in the distance again, and saw Ming Jue and those lifters kneeling in the square, and there were soldiers next to them looking at them with fierce eyes.

Ming Jue is timid, he will be afraid even when he sees a mouse, but now that he is being looked at by those murderous soldiers, he is afraid that he has already been scared, right?

Sheng Mingyu tried to calm himself down, think about it again, and see if there was any way to save Mingjue.

After all, she is a person who has lived again, and there must be some way to help her save Ming Jue.

Looking at the crowded square in front of her, she came up with an idea.

First of all, ask who is from the Five Cities Terracotta Division today.

"I don't know who is from the Five Cities Terracotta Division today?"

Sheng Mingyu asked this, and the three people who spoke just now looked a little surprised.

This little lady asked what this is for?

Could it be that he already has a way in mind?

The three of them secretly thought about it in their hearts, and looked at each other for a long time. In the end, the three of them made up their minds, and it was the man who had just replied to Sheng Mingyu's words to her.

"Girl, it's Lord Zhang Song, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who is here today."

I am worried that the little lady in front of me will go to plead with Zhang Song for the sake of her younger brother. The man reminded again.

"Girl, if you want to plead with that Zhang Song for the sake of your brother, I still advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible."

"That Zhang Song is a demon who kills people without blinking, relying on being the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so he uses the reason in the palace to arrest people and kill people in the city at will. There were not a thousand who died at his hands, but it is estimated that there were eight hundred. ”

"Also, that Zhang Song is still a womanizer, the girl is so beautiful, don't be bullied by people like him. Girl, let's think of other ways! ”

Hearing him say this, Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but glance up at the man.

When the man saw Sheng Mingyu staring at him like this, most of his ears instantly turned red, as if they were about to drip blood.

lowered his head and said secretly: Why is this girl in front of you looking at him like this?

"Thank you Childe for reminding me, then let me think of other ways."

When he hadn't said what kind of person Zhang Song was, what Sheng Mingyu thought in his heart at that time was to go to that Zhang Song to intercede and ask Zhang Song to let Mingjue go.

But after she knew who Zhang Song was, she still dismissed this idea early.

She really can't afford to provoke someone like Zhang Song.

It's better to dispel this idea early.

"Today, the prince of Yuan Wang is also here, and I heard that the prince is a kind and gentle person. The girl might as well go and beg him to see if he can do anything?" Looking at Sheng Mingyu's anxious look, the man gave her another idea.

In this case, she can only gamble and see if Chen Cang, the prince of the Yuan Dynasty, is willing to help her.

With peace of mind, Sheng Mingyu turned around and gave a blessing to the three people behind him.

"The great kindness is not grateful, the great kindness of the three sons, the little girl will repay it in the future."

"What's your name?"

The man who had been talking to Sheng Mingyu just now chased after him.

"Sheng Mingyu!" Sheng Mingyu did not look back, but directly replied to his question.

After knowing Sheng Mingyu's name, the man didn't catch up anymore, but stopped in place, chanting words in his mouth.

"Mingyu, Mingyu. The bright moonlight is like a bright jade, it is indeed a good name! ”
