Chapter 134: The Assassin

Dongchang, whose full name is Dongzhi Factory, is a special structure newly established by Emperor Xia that is only responsible to the emperor and can supervise the arrest of subjects at will without the approval of the Criminal Department or Dali Temple. It seems that it was established only for half a year, but in fact, it has long been brewing, so once it was established, it became the most taboo institution for the people of the capital and the civil and military officials.

It is really as deep as the sea when you enter the East Factory, and you are a passerby from then on.

Now the palm print eunuch of Dongchang is the palm print of the celebrant Hai Dafu, but Hai Dafu serves Emperor Xia's side, so the eunuch in charge is Wei Gonggong.

According to the structure of the East Factory, there are five subordinate divisions, the first division is responsible for affairs in the capital, the second division is responsible for affairs outside the capital, the third division is responsible for arrest and interrogation, the fourth division is responsible for espionage, and the fifth division is responsible for assassination. Each division has a squad, which is also played by eunuchs.

Today, the father-in-law of the third division suddenly received a secret report, saying that someone had kidnapped the daughter of the king of Ruyang, the county lord of Lanling, and he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to her, and he was now in the deepest room on the fourth floor of Lingxiao Tower. So he immediately arranged for his subordinates to lead the Jinyi Guard to arrest the suspect and rescue the county lord of Lanling!

Approaching dusk, the lanterns were already hanging high, Dongchang and Jinyiwei rushed to the outside of Lingxiao Tower, and immediately blocked the gate of Lingxiao Tower, prohibiting outsiders from entering and leaving.

And when Zhuge Liuying came, it was only a little late, and the people from the East Factory had just blocked the scene.

She scolded in secret, her heart was anxious, she knew that this was a conspiracy against Xiao Rui, but she didn't know what was going on inside.

Fortunately, Dongchang and Jinyiwei did not directly break in to arrest people, so she immediately dismounted, went around to the backyard of Lingxiao Tower, and climbed over the wall to enter.

The eunuch sent by Dongchang stared at the Lingxiao Tower in front of him, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes, he still ordered the Jinyi Guard to block the entrances and exits, so it did not cause a big panic in the building.

"My lord, why don't we attack?" The hundred households of Jinyiwei asked.

This eunuch sent by Dongchang was about forty years old, with a national face, white skin, and an indifferent face. Hearing Baihu's inquiry, he directly scolded: "Our family is doing things, don't we still need your little Jinyi Wei Baihu to point fingers?" ”

Baihu's face froze, and he immediately clenched his fists: "Adult, villain doesn't dare!" ”

Jinyiwei cooperates with the East Factory, and many things have to be dealt with under orders.

The eunuch snorted coldly, turned his gaze, and fixed on the Lingxiao Tower, remembering the instructions of the master in charge: No matter who is in front of the door, you must not kill anyone, nor can you hurt the other party, you only need to be subdued, remember to rush into the room and save Princess Lanling!

It stands to reason that whatever the immediate boss asks, he should do as a subordinate, but this eunuch happens to know some little secrets, plus he has other ideas, so he deliberately postponed it.

"Come with us!" The eunuch raised his hand and moved his fingers, and the Jinyi Wei Baihu immediately led people to crowd behind him and followed him into the Lingxiao Tower.

At this time, in the hall of Lingxiao Tower, the diners heard that the Jinyi Guard had blocked the door, and everyone was in danger and did not dare to make a noise, so that the noisy building was very quiet.

The eunuch brought people in and immediately shouted: "Our family is ordered by Dongchang to hunt down the suspect, and all the idlers and others stay in place and are not allowed to move!" Violators will be punished as suspects and directly arrested back to Dongchang! ”

"Yes!" The brocade guards behind him shouted loudly.

In an instant, the guests in the hall were sitting in danger, not daring to offend the majesty of Dongchang.

At this time, in the wing room upstairs, most of them were dignitaries, and they also heard that Dongchang came to arrest people, and they were also scared that everyone was in danger, and they were afraid of catching themselves, and they didn't dare to open the door, like sitting on pins and needles.

At this time, the eunuch took the brocade guard down the stairs and began to go upstairs, up the second floor and straight up to the third floor, so that the guests who were secretly peeping on the second floor breathed a long sigh of relief, but the guests on the third floor were even more panicked.

went up to the third floor without pausing, and continued to go up to the fourth floor, which made the guests peeping on the third floor breathe a long sigh of relief, touching their foreheads,, cold sweat on their foreheads.

Soon, the eunuch came to the fourth floor with the brocade guards and began to search every door.

When kicking open the first door, a middle-aged man was holding two women, drinking red faces, and when he saw someone breaking into the door, he immediately shouted: "Looking for death, do you know who this official is?" How dare you bother? ”

The eunuch waved his hand, and the brocade guard behind him directly stepped forward and dragged him away.

The eunuch didn't know this person, so he was naturally a petty official below the fifth rank.

The first room was not found, so the second room was continued, and the fifth room was the room where Xiao Rui was.

At this time, I don't know who spread the news that the daughter of the king of Ruyang, the county lord of Lanling, was drugged and taken to Lingxiao Tower. Imagine what would happen to a beautiful woman who was drugged by a wicked man and brought here, a lonely man and a widow?

It's a big deal!

No wonder Dongchang led Jinyiwei to dispatch, this is definitely a big deal!

Therefore, everyone raised their heads or looked sideways, staring at every move on the fourth floor.

When Dongchang and Jinyiwei began to search the second room, Zhuge Liuying in the backyard had already climbed to the fourth floor and climbed to the window outside Xiao Rui's room with the rope he had found somewhere. She hung in front of the window, first breathed a sigh of relief, then put her hand through the window paper, opened the window, and jumped in.

She broke her heart, went around to the backyard of Ling Xiaolou, looked for a rope, and threatened a little maid to learn the location of Xiao Rui's room, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.

But then, Zhuge Liuying was instantly stunned, her eyes straightened, and then her cheeks were covered with crimson.

"Shameless!" Zhuge Liuying hurriedly turned his head, not daring to look at the two people on the bed.

But in her mind, she still couldn't forget that picture, she hurriedly shook her head, listening to the footsteps of Dongchang was approaching, she gritted her teeth, turned her head again, first picked up the quilt on the ground, covered Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Rui, and then squatted down to pat Xiao Rui's cheek.

But seeing that he didn't wake up for a long time, he thought that he had been drugged, so he hurriedly ran to the table to get cold water and poured it on his face.

Xiao Rui woke up suddenly, sat up straight and let the covered quilt fall off, so frightened that Zhuge Liuying jumped away like a frightened rabbit.

Xiao Rui, who came back to his senses a little, was stunned when he saw that Xiao Qingqing beside him was undressed: "Damn! ”

Seeing Zhuge Liuying in front of him again, he couldn't help but ask, "What have you done to me?" ”

Zhuge Liuying was shy, and when he heard this, he couldn't wait to pull out the knife on his waist and stab this bastard to death.

"You two were drugged and did something wrong, at this time, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were searching room by room outside the door, and they will come soon!" Zhuge Liuying hurriedly said, because he had already heard a noise from next door, and he must have searched the room next to him.

Xiao Rui trembled, and his palms suddenly filled with cold sweat.

If he is caught red-handed by Dongchang, then his face will be lost, and he will become a laughing stock in an instant, no matter what, Xiao Qingqing is also his distant cousin, and she has just reconciled, or Xiao Rui exposed her husband's crimes, and then the king of Ruyang will definitely chase and kill him with a knife!

When the time comes, not to mention the fight for the throne, it will be a question of whether or not you have the face to stay in the capital!

This plan is too vicious, very vicious!

Xiao Rui was secretly glad that Zhuge Liuying came first, otherwise he would be ruined!

However, the top priority is not the time to sigh, nor is it the time to pursue responsibility, how to deal with the past smoothly is the big deal!

Xiao Rui's mind quickly turned eighteen times, and immediately picked up the robe and coat, and he didn't care about avoiding Zhuge Liuying, he directly lifted the quilt on his body and stood up, and then put on the coat.

Zhuge Liuying was peeking at Xiao Rui, and was immediately frightened by Xiao Rui's actions, and quickly removed his eyes, but still glanced at something that he shouldn't see.

Xiao Rui simply put on a long shirt to prevent himself from being honest with others, and then said to Zhuge Liuying: "Find a way to hide Xiao Qingqing, hurry, I'll go out and deal with it!" ”

Zhuge Liuying nodded again and again.

When Xiao Rui bypassed the screen and just arrived at the door, boom...

The hundred households of the brocade guard had already kicked open the door and were the first to enter.

How could Xiao Rui let him into the house? It's too late to enter the house. So Xiao Rui immediately rushed up, raised his feet and kicked the hundred households of Jinyi Wei who had just entered the house, and slammed into everyone outside the door, instantly collapsing a group.

"Who is it? Dare to attack this hundred households! Jinyi Wei Baihu roared and got up, and immediately pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist.

Xiao Rui was already standing in front of the door and covered the door with his hand.

"Damn! How dare you disturb this king! Xiao Rui shouted angrily, and his voice overshadowed the Jinyi Wei Baihu, making him freeze in the air in an instant when he just raised the knife.

Xiao Rui shouted angrily, holding back the fire in his heart and finally being able to scream, his face was stern and cold.

The brocade guards outside the door looked at each other, no one knew Xiao Rui, but he could call himself "this king", could he be an ordinary person in this capital?

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Xian, the villain visited His Royal Highness King Xian!" The eunuch immediately smiled and immediately smiled.

Jinyi Wei Baihu seemed to have received a signal, and immediately put away his knife: "The villain greets His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”

The others immediately bowed their hands and bowed their hands.

"Why are you making a lot of noise?" Xiao Rui asked deliberately.

The eunuch said: "Back to Your Highness, I am here to rescue the county lord of Lanling on the order of the head of the three divisions of the Dongchang Division. My family received a secret report that the lord of Lanling County had been kidnapped, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I was searching. ”

Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, this matter was actually involved in Dongchang, it seems that the person who wants to deal with him is borrowing a knife to kill people, and let Dongchang, which is directly under His Majesty, do it, this matter will inevitably go to Emperor Xia, and it is impossible to cover it up.

Xiao Rui was scared in his heart, but at this time he already had a place to maneuver, so he said: "Since it is to rescue the county lord of Lanling, let's go and search carefully." ”

The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Highness, according to the order of my family, he got a reliable report that the suspect is on the fourth floor, and the room where His Highness is located is the last room on the fourth floor, can you let the villain go in and take a look?" If there is no county lord, the villain can go back to his life. ”

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Rui said angrily: "Who gave you the guts? Dare to search the king's room! ”

The eunuch hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Highness is angry, angry, the villain is also acting on orders, I beg your Highness to forgive me." It's just that the head of my family has given a death order, and the safety of the county lord of Lanling is great! ”

Xiao Rui didn't laugh angrily and asked, "Are you suspicious of this king?" The county lord of Lanling is the cousin of this king, will this king hurt her? Today, the king is here, see who dares to search! ”

The eunuch nodded again and again, smiling.

Just when no one dared to answer directly, a shout suddenly came from the staircase on the fourth floor: "They don't dare, I dare!"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked over.
