Chapter 540: Who is the real murderer?

North Korean guards also found out that the assassination was clearly purposed, only in Vinland.

Therefore, they did not dare to attack rashly, so they could only cry for help while surrounding the carriage, trying to swing the swords in their hands impenetrable and protect their masters with all their might.

There is a lot of patrol in the city tonight, and someone will come to the rescue soon......

The guards thought there would be a bloody battle.

I didn't want to, the group of black-clothed people who were ambushing everywhere actually sent a retreat signal after three rounds of arrow rain.

In the blink of an eye, the group dispersed.

From the first arrow shot to the collective disappearance of the men in black, it took less than ten breaths in total.

Fast-moving.

The guards patrolling the city failed to arrive in time, and Wen Lan's guards were afraid that the other party would divert the tiger from the mountain, so they did not dare to chase after them, so they watched the group disappear in all directions......

It's weird.

Obviously, this assassination was not simple.

……

Cheng Ziyu bit the chopsticks and frowned.

"Where is Vinland hurt?" Seeing Li Chun's calm appearance, it is obvious that Wen Lan is fine.

"She was fine, she was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and she was bleeding a lot, but it didn't hurt her. Two of her people were killed, three were seriously injured, and several were slightly injured. The losses are not small. and her henchman, the one named Green Joe, blocked his body on the car door in order to protect Vinlan, was hit by two arrows in the back, and was still in a coma. However, the treatment is timely, and there should be no worries about life. ”

Cheng Ziyu sighed lightly, and her heart was really hard. Several times and three times, he followed Vinland to suffer that unwarranted disaster. Vinlan and Lu Qiao have a good relationship, and today's incident is absolutely angry, and they will not give up.

"Who did it?"

"Guess."

"I don't know. But I guess what I found on the face must be Zhou Jingyi. Or...... To be exact, Kang Amber. Isn't it? ”

"The lady is smart, and she can guess it."

Li Chun sneered......

The men of Jingwei and Bingma Division quickly rushed to the assassination site, and after confirming that Wen Lan's life was safe, the guards immediately divided into three ways.

One of the people escorted Wen Lan to the post house for medical treatment, all the way tracked the whereabouts of the man in black, and the rest of the people maintained the scene at the scene of the crime, blocked the news, found clues and was responsible for the aftermath.

Of course, they also sent someone to the palace to report as soon as possible......

At that time, everyone couldn't help but lament, this princess Wenlan was really ill-fated. I'm afraid that this matter will cause an uproar again tonight...... In order to explain to the DPRK and the princess, the emperor must have only one way to investigate thoroughly!

The Terracotta Division and the Kyowei people worked hard.

If this matter is not clear, it is obvious that there must be someone to blame. The officers and men of both sides of the road are responsible, and they cannot shirk it. So even in order not to be implicated, they dare not slack off......

"Vinland has been very responsible lately, and has been staying at the post house. Zhu Changqi was imprisoned again, so she had no enemies in Beijing at all. So naturally, the first person to be suspected was naturally only Zhou Jingyi. Cheng Ziyu gasped.

"That's right, Zhou Jingyi had an argument with Wen Lan tonight and made a move, she was reprimanded by Princess Xiaoyao first, and Zhu Changzhe was angry later, for this, she lost face. Even if she had no enmity with Wen Lan before, today's Liangzi was also married in public.

And in terms of motivation, it is difficult for her to get rid of it. If Wen Lan enters the mansion, she will compete for favor with her. Wenlan's status is there, whether it is the main concubine or the side concubine, Zhou Jingyi can only be suppressed.

Judging from tonight's situation, Zhou Jingyi still has to plan for the future. Not only for Kang Anbo and the Zhou family, but also for her personally.

When Wenlan entered the mansion, Kang Anbo was no longer Zhu Changzhe's only help and backer. Since Kang Anbo has placed Zhou Jingyi by his grandson's side, he obviously can't trust Zhu Changzhe. He had to prevent his grandson from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge one day.

If you follow Zhu Changzhe's current rise speed and situation, he will soon be able to grow his wings hard. As soon as the strength arrived, Kang Amber's help began to become insignificant. It wasn't far from him being out of Kangamber's control.

At that time, the positions of their grandparents will be reversed. Kang Anbo will be bound by Zhu Changzhe, not only will he lose control, but he will also have to be dispatched and manipulated by Zhu Changzhe because of his blood relationship.

Losing the initiative is definitely not a good thing for Kang Amber. Therefore, even if it is to control Zhu Wu, Wen Lan's help is very inopportune.

The benefits brought by Vinland are too many.

The first is the amulet. Her husband must be protected by the royal family. Vinland will also bring wealth, which is just right to make Zhu Changzhe no longer reach out to Kang Anbo. In this way, there is no economic dependence, and Zhu Changzhe can do whatever he wants without being afraid of Kang Amber's thoughts and opinions, which is also a kind of detachment.

Also, the Northeast. North Korea's assistance on the northeast line and the northeast coast is a hidden military power. Functionally, this part happens to overlap with the coastal forces of Kang Amber. What Kang Anbo can give to Zhu Changzhe, it just so happens that North Korea can also give it. Then the role of Kang Amber is naturally greatly reduced.

I think Zhu Changzhe also took all the above into account, so he concealed this matter. On the contrary, it makes those who have a heart have the heart to take advantage of it. In this way, Kang Amber also had a motive to assassinate Vinland. Not to mention Zhou Jingyi, she is not Wen Lan's opponent, if she wants to live, if she wants to live well, the only way is to prevent Wen Lan from entering the door. Therefore, Zhou Jingyi not only has a motive, but also a lot of suspicion. ”

"The man in black didn't catch it, did you?"

"Nope. When the officers and soldiers arrived, the man in black had already left for a while. There was no curfew these days, and as long as they took off their black clothes, it would be difficult to find people again. ”

"But what I just said is just motive and suspicion, what about the evidence? What was found? ”

Li Chun saw that Cheng Ziyu was nervous, and couldn't help but hug her shoulder.

Her thoughts were clear to him. At present, from the perspective of several princes, it is most beneficial for them that the five princes ascend to the throne. If the five princes were eaten up this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"When the guards came back here, although the feast had been dispersed, there were still many people left in our house to deal with the aftermath. For example, the princess and other ladies and girls, such as several princes and sons who are still drinking in the front yard.

Soon, someone confirmed that Zhou Jingyi left behind cruel words when she left, asking Wenlan to 'wait and see';

Even the coachman waiting outside the house said that Concubine Zhou, who left first, did not forget to hate and curse before getting into the car, saying, "I want to give that slut some color...... I don't know if these words are true, but at least everyone who heard them believed them.

In addition, there must be a prerequisite for tonight's assassination to be successful. That is why Vinlan will go back separately from the people at the end of the feast. Only when there are few people and empty roads can assassination be carried out, and only when the defense is weak can it be more convenient to do it. Well, Vinland's sudden abdominal pain was clearly man-made.

Princess Xiaoyao said that there is absolutely no problem with today's banquet. Except for Vinland, no one was unwell. Everyone eats and drinks together, and if there is a problem, it will be discovered early.

After an investigation of the confessions of Wenlan's subordinates and the remaining female dependents, Zhou Jingyi, who had close contact with Wenlan today, has another reason to be suspicious, and Zhou Jingyi has enough opportunities to attack Wenlan. And she looked for Vinland twice, which made this move even more bizarre. Later, after the imperial doctor took Wenlan's pulse, he also determined that her diarrhea did not come from food, but from foreign objects. ”

"But these ...... At most, it can only be regarded as a doubt, and it cannot be concluded as evidence! ”

"You're right. It's a pity ......"

It's a pity that when Zhou Jingyi was suspected, the officers and soldiers who went to King Zhe's Mansion to find someone to verify had just arrived at the place, but they saw that a carriage was coming back in front of King Zhe's Mansion.

There are two masters in the Zhewang Mansion. At that time, Zhu Changzhe was still dragged by the two princes and did not return, so it was obvious that Zhou Jingyi was sitting in the carriage.

I stepped forward and asked, and sure enough.

That's not right.

After Zhou Jingyi and Wen Lan had a quarrel, they left early. In the middle of the night, where did a woman's family go for so long?

The guards stepped forward to ask, but Zhou Jingyi hesitated, and only after hesitation did he say that he was going to the night market. I asked her what she bought and what she did, but she couldn't tell her......

The poor coachman, who didn't know why, was taken to the other side for questioning, and when the coachman saw that it was the officers and soldiers, he was already in a big mess. Once he was intimidated again, he immediately confessed to him.

said that he was not dishonest, but it was the side concubine who asked him to keep it a secret.

Secrecy? The officers and soldiers immediately smelled something unusual.

It's another hard drink.

The coachman's statement is not consistent with Zhou Jingyi. He said that he was just ordered to send Concubine Zhou to Zhou's house.

The Zhou family?

The coachman explained: It is Kang Anbo's old house in Beijing.

Zhou Jingyi is a native of Jiangnan, but Kang Anbo is not. Kang Anbo's original foundation was in the capital, but it was only a change of power, and he was chosen by the Holy Lord to guard the coast for many years......

Although he has not returned to Beijing for many years, Kang Anbo still has a decent old house and industry in Beijing, and even human connections. After Zhou Jingyi entered Beijing that day, she also lived in the old house of the Zhou family first.

Q: What to do?

The coachman only said that he was acting on orders, and it was the side concubine who said that he wanted to take something, and the Zhou family was half of the master's mother's family, and he was a slave, so naturally he had no right to ask, that's all......

Obviously, one of the coachmen and Zhou Jingyi was lying......

Zhou Jingyi was helpless.

After knowing that Wen Lan was going to enter the palace as a princess in the near future, she naturally wanted to make this trip.

The first is to get the news out quickly. Second, she was grounded. and tell us about it.

If she doesn't seize the opportunity today, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to spread the news in the future.

She not only wants to ask Kang Anbo for help, but also exposes Vinlan's true colors. By the way, she also sued Zhu Changzhe, accusing him of being ungrateful and suspected of becoming a white-eyed wolf, and begged Kang Anbo to help make the decision...... In addition, there are two elders in the Zhou family, and she happened to discuss with the elders about the future.

In addition to teaching her some methods, the elders also said that they would find a way to continue to install people into the Zhewang Mansion in the next few days, and help her consolidate her power, and let her get seeds if she can't get the hearts of men.

In addition, they will think of ways to increase their control over Zhu Changzhe from other places. Saying that the pirate crisis is temporarily resolved, they will arrange for someone to go up and down and ask for a favor for Kang Anbo to return to Beijing to visit his relatives......

There are too many words, and before you know it, it will be too late.

But Zhou Jingyi arranged for someone to watch outside the General's Mansion, and she knew that Zhu Changzhe was still drinking, so she didn't rush back to the house.

At that time, she didn't know that after the Wenlan incident, the General's Mansion had already begun an investigation. The two people she kept an eye on were taken down for questioning for the first time because of their sneaky behavior.

The two of them were recruited in a daze, saying that they were Concubine Zhou's people, waiting for the master to return home......

Since Zhou Jingyi has been involved again, naturally, this article has become a piece of evidence of her misdeeds......

And Zhou Jingyi's trip was to hide from Zhu Changzhe, so naturally she couldn't let Zhu Changzhe know, so when she met the officers and soldiers, she didn't dare to speak......

She is not extremely smart, and she couldn't come up with a decent lie in the first place.

"Dare to ask Concubine Zhou, what did the third watch do when he went to Zhou's house in the middle of the night? Why did you lie and go to the night market just now? Why did you come home at this point in time? ”

The officers and soldiers looked at her, and the more they looked at her, the more suspicious they became. can't help but think: She went to Zhou's house to plot assassination! Lie to clear up! It wasn't that long ago that it was done, so I'm going back to ......

And Zhou Jingyi didn't know that Wen Lan was stabbed, and she was confused in the face of aggressive officers and soldiers. She didn't dare to answer indiscriminately, so she began to angrily scold "presumptuous", began to intimidate and threaten officers and soldiers, and began to pressure each other with her identity.

She refused to answer.

She was so arrogant and uncooperative, and the officers and soldiers were even more angry.

But she hid directly in the palace.

In the end, she is also half of the royal family and nobles, and the officers and soldiers dare not make a move, nor dare they break in. But Zhou Jingyi's carriage and maid were stopped by the officers and soldiers......

And the officers and soldiers on the other side who were at the scene also found a clue - bows and arrows.

If you look closely at these arrows all over the ground, there is something special.

In recent years, the popular use of buckleless arrows in the Great Zhou Dynasty is a flat sharp triangle with a small top angle like a needle. At the moment, the head of this batch of arrows is similar to that of the buckleless arrow, but there is an extra triangular barb behind it......

Obviously, this is not the usual arrow shape in Beijing and the military.

The officers and soldiers tried it and found that this arrow had a longer range, was more stable and resistant to wind, and had a sharp rear barb, which could form secondary damage and increase attack power. But it was soon suggested that this arrow was more suitable for long-range attacks, such as naval battles.

Battleship?

The target was once again locked onto Kang Amber.

Combined with Zhou Jingyi's eccentricity, the officers and soldiers entered the palace to ask for their will.

Before that, Kang Anbo's old mansion was also secretly surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Hearing that Wen Lan was being sent to first aid, the emperor was another big one.

The king of Joseon hasn't arrived at his hometown yet, has he?

If something happens to Vinland, I'm afraid I'll have to go back again.

Also, whether Kang Anbo has the strength or not The emperor doesn't consider it first, but if he has the guts, the emperor has to guard against it. Right now, there's only one thing left to do. If he is innocent, he will not be afraid of search.

The dictation came down: search Zhou's house, quasi.

Afraid of startling the snake, the officers and soldiers opened the door of Zhou's house with the help of Zhou Jingyi's carriage and coachman.

"Why did the side concubine come back again?"

The concierge of the Zhou family looked at the coachman and the carriage, and naturally asked this question, which directly confirmed that Zhou Jingyi was indeed lying, and what the coachman said was true. Zhou Jingyi sneaked to the Zhou family, the Zhou family must be weird!

Officers and soldiers quickly rushed through the door and began to search......

Suspicions and evidence were found almost instantly.

It's too obvious, there are too many people in the Zhou family at this moment.

Those faces are too raw.

As soon as I opened my mouth, it was all half-baked Beijing dialect.

No problem, there are ghosts!
