Chapter 461: Assassination

461

This year's Dragon Boat Festival is closed.

Zhaoyi City has lost its former liveliness.

The dreary and hot weather revealed an unusual solemnity, which was terrifying.

This is the case in the ordinary market, and even more so in the deep courtyard of the Forbidden Palace.

Even Wu Fuzi's teaching voice was much lower than in the past.

None of the people in the audience were in good spirits, but no one slept.

Wei Lanqi didn't bring a cat today, and felt a little bored, so she secretly glanced at Wei Yining, who sat dignified and quiet, and listened carefully as usual.

Wei Lanqi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Wei Yining is really a determined person. Unlike myself, my mind is floating and I am not calm enough.

"That's all for today!" Wu Fuzi looked at the sun shadow and felt that it was not too early: "After I go back, I will review all the books I talked about today, and I will inquire tomorrow." ”

Everyone agreed "yes", and saluted the master again, and the palace maid who followed him came to clean up the books.

Lord Duanmin also seemed to be a little impetuous, and said to Wei Yining and Wei Lanqi: "Why don't we go boating on the Taiye Pool." ”

"County Lord, I think you forgot what Mama Chang said yesterday." Wei Yining reminded: "I said that I would practice sitting and dividing tea before lunch today." ”

Lord Duanmin couldn't help but feel bitter when she heard this, she really forgot about it.

"In normal times, maybe you can still play Laipi," Duanmin County Lord sighed and whispered, "But for now, forget about this situation." ”

is as arrogant as the lord of Duanmin, and he does not dare to be presumptuous at this time.

Everyone withdrew from the study one after another, not talking and laughing as usual.

"Yining Lanqi, the two of you go to Mama Chang first, and then say I'll go back and change my clothes and come back." Lord Duanmin quietly pinched his eyes and said.

The two understood, nodded, and left hand in hand.

Although he has chosen a place with shade as much as possible, the weather is really hot and humid, and Wei Yining is most afraid of the heat, and he has long been obscene with fragrant sweat.

Wei Lanqi also fanned the wind with a handkerchief and complained: "I don't know what the weather is like this year, and it won't rain at this time, it's really hot." ”

"It's been three years since I've been back to Zhaoyi, and it's the first time I've encountered such a hot summer." Wei Yining said: "I often hear people say that the summer in Liangguang is very difficult, and I don't know how people over there escape the heat. ”

"Alas, I originally wanted to go home and take a look at the Dragon Boat Festival," Wei Lanqi said faintly: "It's also in the soup now, I don't think I want to go out of the palace in three months." ”

"This is also something that cannot be helped, and extraordinary times naturally have to be done in extraordinary times." Of course, Wei Yining also misses his grandmother and younger brother, but now that he can't go out of the palace, he can only be patient.

It turned out that at the beginning of the month, the emperor and the empress went to the suburbs of Beijing to worship and pray for rain, and in order to show their sincerity, they first fasted in the palace for five days, and then sacrificed for three days from the first day of the fifth month to the third day of the first month.

During this time, everything went as usual, but on the way back to the palace, he encountered an Assassin.

Although there was only one assassin, and the emperor and queen were not injured, they were really frightened, not to mention that this matter was too sensational to be seen in this dynasty.

Therefore, the saint was furious and ordered the secretary of the criminal department to preside over a thorough investigation of the matter together with the Dali Siqing.

At present, the identity of the assassin has been preliminarily determined, this person's name is Yu Xin, and he was originally an officer of Jingzhao Mansion.

Because the emperor and queen left the palace, they needed soldiers to escort them along the way, and the number of forbidden troops was not enough, so they called the officials in the capital to serve temporarily, which was also a common thing in the past.

Who would have thought that when the holy car passed by, this Yu Xin suddenly went crazy and pulled out his saber to commit murder.

It was really infuriating and ridiculous, everyone present at that time was so frightened that they were stunned for a while.

Fortunately, Huang Yuji, the guard of the forbidden army who was closely following the holy car, stepped forward and fought with Yu Xin.

Yu Xin's martial arts are not low, and he has the determination to die, so the momentum is very terrifying.

Huang Yuji is the distant nephew of Huang, the wife of the Qinyong Mansion, and his background is considered low among the guards, Shao Nan has a good relationship with him and often takes care of him.

Because of his effective protection, although he was injured, fortunately he stopped Yu Xin.

Then everyone also came to their senses and shot together to kill Yu Xin on the spot.

Because of this incident, the entire capital is now under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without a handwritten decree.

Moreover, the officers and soldiers were searching from house to house, and Yu Xin's residence had already been turned upside down, and there were no letters.

Neighbors said he had dismissed his family three months earlier and sent his wife and children away.

And this Yu Xin has been in Jingzhao Mansion for almost ten years, and he is not a too close person who usually has contact, he is silent, does not drink or gamble, so he is a little impossible to find out for a while.

"Yining, do you say that such a thing as assassinating the king and killing the driver is something that a person with the courage of a man dares to do?" Wei Lanqi asked Wei Yining in a low voice: "This matter won't implicate innocent people, right?" ”

"For such a big matter, someone will inevitably lose their official position and die for this," Wei Yining sighed: "At present, others don't know for the time being, Lord Hu Conghu's black gauze hat must not be able to be saved." ”

"It's really that people are not as good as heaven, that Hu Cong has always been the most delicate and cautious, but who knew that it was the people under him who committed such a big crime." Wei Lanqi also feels that the world is impermanent: "But if someone is insulted, someone will be tolerated, and if someone descends, someone will rise." Wei Lanqi smiled slightly: "This time, the guard surnamed Huang must be rewarded." ”

Before Wei Lanqi could finish speaking, she saw a team of guards coming from a distance.

Guan Zuo is the tallest and walks in the forefront, so he is very conspicuous, Wei Lanqi couldn't help but pout when he saw him, and Guan Zuo was still expressionless.

When the accompanying guards saw Wei Lanqi, they couldn't help but shake their minds, and a few of them were outgoing and simply laughed.

"A group of gentlemen," Wei Lanqi disdained, and pulled Wei Yining over quickly: "Let's go quickly, we will be punished again if we are late." ”

The two of them divided the flowers and brushed the willows, and walked through the Changyou Garden.

Wei Yining's footsteps slowed down suddenly, although there were branches and leaves, he could still see two people standing together in front of him, looking at the clothes, it should be a man and a woman.

"This ...... in broad daylight" Wei Lanqi also saw it later, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This woman's back is so familiar!" ”

Wei Yining had already recognized that the woman was Sun Mingming, but she didn't want to have more rights and wrongs, so she pulled Wei Lanqi and continued to walk forward.

"Third prince, this fan was painted by me yesterday, the weather is hot, and you can take it with you to relieve the heat a little." Sun Mingming handed over a fan.

The third prince took it with a smile and said lightly: "Miss Sun has a heart." ”

It is indeed a heart, although it is just a small fan, but the ivory is the bone, the fan surface of the gold paper, and there is a purple jade fan pendant hanging underneath.

Even the fan made inside is nothing more than that.
