Volume 1 Yujing Dark Tide Chapter 25 The Wind Moves
At the same time, two fast horses galloped towards the imperial capital Yujing City, and immediately the guards of the Rui Wangfu had tense faces and murderous spirits. The two men at the Yujing City Gate were crowded with pedestrians, cars and horses, holding tokens all the way and shouting all the way to step on the horse, and the people behind them turned over on their backs, but at this moment the pedestrians on the road did not curse, and everyone knew that something must have happened.
Riding straight to the Rui Wang's Mansion, the horse in front of the mansion gate has not stopped, and the people have flown in front of the mansion gate, holding up the token and shouting: "The guards of the other courtyard are ordered by the chief manager of the other courtyard to meet the prince, it is extremely urgent!"
The eight guards at the gate of King Rui's Mansion looked tight, and with a snort, the four guards held the hilt of the sword on their waists with their right hands and walked quickly towards King Rui's study, while the other four guards closed the gate of the palace in an orderly manner and refused all visitors.
After the prince of the Great Zhou royal family reaches the age of 20, he can open the palace and build a tooth to become the prince, and the prince and grandson reach the age of 20 and achieve the congenital foundation to rank as the king of the county. As for the descendants with poor qualifications, the disposal of the royal family and the four major valves is basically the same, and they are all raised as pigs. Some of the talents were assigned to take charge of the industry.
Zhou Qian, the prince of the Great Wednesday, was born at the age of twenty-one, and has become famous for two years since the opening of the palace, and he has faintly fought against the prince.
At this moment, Zhou Qian, the king of Rui, was sitting upright on the Taishi chair in the study, a middle-aged man dressed in a scribe's robe was sitting opposite him, and a shrewd-looking young man next to him was standing there talking about the news he had discovered, and the content of what he said was Chu Zheng.
"It has been verified that it is true news, Chu Zheng of the Chu Wangfu woke up three days ago, and his cultivation was indeed ruined, and there was only a faint breath around him, which was weaker than ordinary people. But he stayed in the Truman Sutra Corridor for two days, and there was no way to verify what classics and Taoist scriptures he consulted. ”
"On the same day, Chu Zheng killed Chu Yi, the eighth son of the King of Chu, in the Hall of Merit of the Chu Palace, because the other party was sowing discord. It has been verified that Chu Zheng did take out the green berry at that time, and Chu Men also ordered Chu Feng County to guard the whole family and punish him heavily. ”
On the evening of the same day, Chu Zheng met with the Zhao County Lord Zuixianlou, and claimed in public that he had asked a young monk to go to Jiangzhou Mansion to verify the destruction of the mother family. The latest news, the young monk is called Jiang Li, a monk of the Jiang family of the Jiangzhou Mansion. Now that Jiang Li has arrived at Jiangzhou Mansion, the Jiang family has been evacuated overnight. ”
"After Chu Zheng sent the Lord of Zhao back to the Zhao Palace, he returned to the Chu Palace, and entered the study of the King of Chu. ”
"The day before yesterday, Chu Zheng was indeed almost devoured by someone, and the Chu Palace's response is not known for the time being. However, it has been confirmed that the Ministry of War ordered 10,000 people of the Pingnan Army to go to Nanping Village. Lord Zhao visited Chu Zheng, and the two talked and laughed. ”
"Yesterday, Chu Zheng went to King Zhao's mansion with a book and went out in the evening, during which Lord Zhao suddenly retreated. ”
With that, the young monk bowed and exited the study.
The middle-aged scribe shook the folding fan and said with a wry smile: "In the past, this third young master of Chumen was not a fool, and if he caused some trouble, he would be a child. It's good now, this Third Young Master Chu gave birth to so many things within a few days of waking up. Before the follow-up reaction of one thing has been completely fermented, another thing is born, which is really a wave of unevenness. The already complicated situation in Yujing made him even more confused. ”
The young Rui Wang's face was still full of vitality, but he pondered for a moment and said: "It's really a mess, but it's all about finding Chu Zheng." And I think the worst mood is the king of Chu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in a hurry. But that's fine, no one can see clearly, and everyone has to be steady. ”
"Lord Wang, the sixth chief manager of the other courtyard sent someone to deliver a message, it is extremely urgent!" The voice of the young man who had just introduced the intelligence sounded outside the door.
"Enter!"
Before the words fell, the young man walked into the study with the guards who came from the other courtyard, and the guards knelt down on one knee and arched their hands: "Lord Qiqi, three quarters of an hour ago, Chu Zheng, the third prince of the Chu Palace, was ambushed by three people on the bluestone road on the hill five hundred zhang away from the other courtyard. The inferior and others rushed to the scene, and Chu Zheng, the third prince of the Chu Palace, fell unconscious, and his mount was smashed by a spear at the waist. Ambushed the three sons of Chu Wangfu, Chu Zheng, and the corpses of the three people on the spot, one used a long knife to refine blood and wash the marrow, one person used a spear to refine blood and wash the marrow, and one person used a sword from the heart. ”
Zhou Qian, the king of Rui, who pretended to be calm with a teacup, looked stunned, and was dumbfounded at the middle-aged scribe.
"I ......" Ruiwang Zhou Heng swallowed his saliva and swallowed the uncivilized words raw.
What did you just say? I just said that there were waves of unevenness, and they all revolved around this third prince of Chu. Before the words fell, the next wave came. What's more, where is this simple wave of unsettled waves, wave after wave, this is simply a wave after a wave!
After a while, the middle-aged scribe cranked the folding fan and muttered: "Five hundred zhang, on the hills, on the bluestone road? I think it was the third prince of Chu on the way from Yujing City to his Crescent Lake Courtyard, but it was not the best ambush location." ”
"I'm grass! this is deliberate, this is on my head and deliberately disgusting......" Ruiwang Zhou Qian finally couldn't help but abandon his calm image, although he didn't say everything halfway, but he said everything that should be said.
"How did Chief Manager Liu deal with it at that time?Oh, what about the third prince of Chu?" The middle-aged scribe was a little calm, but his tone was a little hurried, and he finally remembered that he should be concerned about the safety of the main master.
"The third prince of Chu is no longer in the way. After rescuing him, Manager Liu said that the person who ambushed the third prince of Chu did not take the Rui Wangfu in his eyes, and the palace must not give up. Then Mr. Liu invited the third prince of Chu to drink tea in the courtyard to suppress the shock, sent two people to intercept the two ends of the road to block the passers-by, sent two people to guard the scene and not move easily, sent another person to the Chu Wangfu to report the news, sent me to the Yujing Mansion to report the news, and secretly rumored that I should report to the prince first, and then go to the Yujing Mansion. ”
The scribe nodded slightly, and King Rui said, "Manager Liu handled it properly." I'll go at once, and the king will see who's at my head...... I'll go see how Chu Zheng is. Prepare the horses, quick!"
Soon, King Rui Zhou Qian led ten guards to gallop towards Crescent Lake, hurrying and ruining along the way.
At the same time, a purple sandalwood desk in the Chu Wangfu flew out of the study and was completely shattered, and then a figure rose from the Chu Wangfu and rushed to a thousand feet in the air, and then flew in the air like walking on the ground in the direction of the crescent lake in the west of the city, and the murderous aura was undisguised along the way. Less than a quarter of an hour later, the thirty guards of the Chu Palace's palace rushed out of the palace with long knives on their waists, and the murderous spirit was so fierce that pedestrians were afraid to avoid it.
Two quarters of an hour later, 100 officials of the Yujing Mansion rushed out of the Mansion and headed in the direction of Crescent Lake.
A quarter of an hour later, ten horsemen rushed out of the palace. Almost at the same time, more than ten people from the Criminal Department rushed to Crescent Lake.
Zhao Wangfu, Wei Wangfu, Song Wangfu, Prince's Mansion......
Fast horses galloped out of Yujing City and rushed to Crescent Lake. The expressions of the people on the horse were either anxious or solemn, or murderous.
Yujing West City was quiet, only the horses' hooves were heard, and the noise was not heard.
No one knows what's going on, but everyone knows that something big is going on at Crescent Lake, a great thing!
When Yin Liangcheng of Yujing Mansion rushed to the shore of Crescent Lake, he saw that hundreds of people were carefully searching on both sides of the road, hundreds of people were searching on the hills, and there were nearly 100 people standing next to the road.
Rui Wang Zhou Qian, Zhang Zhengduan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, Tuoba Feng, the commander of the three imperial guards, the old Chu Gongyun of the Chumen clan, the Zhao Gate, the Song Gate, and the Wei Gate. These are all characters that must be remembered as the Yin of Yujing Mansion, and there are some extraordinary people who are not known but whose breath is also in charge of life and death. Of course, there is also Chu Zheng, the third son of Chu.
With such a lineup, dozens of people looked at this belated Yujing Mansion Yin, which made Liang Cheng's forehead sweat. None of them spoke, and the silence put a huge strain on his heartbeat.
Liang Cheng took a deep breath, let his breathing be more even, and stepped forward quickly. A servant greeted Liang Cheng and whispered a few words, Liang Cheng nodded and walked a few steps, bowed to King Rui Zhou, and bowed: "The lower official is late because of important matters, and he also asks the prince to atone for his sins." ”
Rui Wang Zhou Qian nodded slightly, looking very calm, and when Liang Cheng saluted Zhang Zhengduan again, Zhang Zhengduan snorted and said in a faint mocking tone: "In the eyes of Lord Liang, there is something more important than the ambush of the third prince of Chu?"
Liang Cheng didn't speak, Zhang Zhengduan sneered and said: "Since Lord Liang sat in Yujing Mansion, the security of Yujing City has deteriorated, and I ask Lord Liang to be more attentive." ”
Liang Cheng bowed slightly, and at this time, a cold snort came from the side, and Chu Gongyun, who was standing next to Chu Zheng, glared angrily. How powerful was the anger of practicing Qi Chenggang Martial Cultivation, Liang Cheng suddenly felt cold and stiff all over his body.
After Chu Zheng was ambushed, it was not King Rui who arrived first, but Chu Gongyun. Chu Gongyun arrived at the courtyard of King Rui's mansion, directly took Chu Zheng back to the scene of the ambush, and waited for King Rui here. It was followed by the Imperial Court Guard, the Chumen Guard, and then the Criminal Department and the Yujing Mansion.
Yujing, the capital of the Great Zhou Emperor, the government is responsible for maintaining public security, the criminal department is responsible for investigating and solving cases, and the imperial court guard is directly under the Vertical Government Palace. The Vertical Government Hall is the daily administration of the Great Zhou Emperor. The Imperial Court Guard was directly responsible to the Great Zhou Emperor, and the Imperial Court Guard was aimed at the monks, and its composition was all monks, and they were the most powerful force in the hands of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.
Therefore, the ambush of Chu Zheng was mainly investigated by the imperial court guards, with the cooperation of the criminal department, and the Yujing Mansion was the peripheral security.
The imperial guards could be said to have found nothing at the scene, and the criminal department was even more confused. For this, Chu Zheng had already been mentally prepared. In order to deal with himself, a person whose cultivation is superficially wasted, the other party can send three monks, and one of them has a Dharma cultivation from the heart, and the main messenger must be thoughtful and find obvious clues before it is abnormal.
But there are no clear clues, but more questions arise. This matter will be fine with the Imperial Court Guard, although they are the main responsibility for the monks, they are the henchmen of the Great Zhou Emperor. Then someone from the Criminal Department in charge of investigation or the Yujing Mansion in charge of public security must be responsible for this matter and give Truman an explanation. This is also the reason why Zhang Zhengduan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, began to sneer and sow discord when he saw Liang Chengcheng. Zhang Zhengduan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said this, which naturally led the contradiction to Liang Cheng.
"I also want to hear what Lord Liang has to say. Just when Liang Cheng didn't know how to answer, Chu Zheng walked up to him and asked.
Zhang Zhengduan looked at Liang Cheng with a smile, and said in his heart that Liang Cheng was self-inflicted. Now in the imperial capital, except for the emperor's summons, there is no major event that Chu Zheng, the third prince of Chumen, was ambushed. If you say that, it is natural for Chu Zheng to trouble you.
Not only Zhang Zhengduan thinks so, but others also think so, including Liang himself.
