Chapter 590: One Night Changed the Sky
I woke up one night and the sky changed, and the good weather that had been sunny and sunny recently was suddenly overcast, and the sand and rocks were flying, which was a precursor to rain.
The girls and mothers-in-law were complaining about the bad weather, but Cheng Ziyu was staring at the sky and laughing.
It's not because Li Chungang pulled her to do another morning exercise, but the weather is just right for what she wants to do today.
She got up lazily, called a carriage with a gift, swaggered to the Korean post house, and after seeing the bride-to-be, she took the car again to the workshop.
In the afternoon, the dark sky finally couldn't suppress the spring thunder, and a heavy rain fell for an hour, washing away the dull air.
Cheng Ziyu was very qualitatively busy in the workshop until dusk before returning.
And at this moment, Li Chun is in the Juewang Mansion......
Today is the day when Zhu Changjue was instructed by the Empress Dowager to take a concubine. The Queen Mother asked for "scenery", and just rushed those two words, and some families in Beijing received the post, and Li Chun was no exception.
He went to the door with a courtesy, but Cheng Ziyu didn't want to give this face, so he hid.
The road back to the city is not easy to walk, and the road washed away by the rain is a little muddy, and the speed can only be slow and slow.
The clouds in the sky have not yet melted, there is no light of the stars and moons, and with just a few torches, this road is even more difficult to walk.
At a bend in a mountain road, the carriage somehow sank into a deep quagmire.
The horse was frightened, and the carriage was unbalanced, and it almost collapsed. Fortunately, the guards were alert and stabilized the horses as soon as possible. Then the guards began to cooperate with the coachman to push the cart.
Suddenly, an arrow flew out.
Dense bows and arrows came from all directions, directly shooting the carriage into a sieve, which made people can't help but think of the scene of the attack on Vinland a few days ago, it seems to be ...... Something similar?
It's just that the guards of the General's Mansion are obviously stronger than the people in the Korean Post House in terms of experience and martial arts.
It's not just the defense, they start to attack.
The black-clothed people who were lurking around couldn't hide, and they all exposed their bodies one by one under the counterattack of the guards.
The guards released signal flares into the air for help, and the men in black saw that they couldn't succeed in a short time, so they immediately scattered and left.
The guards were afraid that they would divert the tiger from the mountain, so they did not dare to chase and fight fiercely, so although they seriously injured a few people in black, they never caught a single live ......
Cheng Ziyu in the carriage was injured and shed a carriage of blood, if it weren't for Liu Er's protection, the person would have been gone......
When the news reached the Jue Palace, it was the highest time of the feast.
Li Chun was furious and rushed out almost instantly.
The feast suddenly became cold.
Assassinated Cheng Ziyu, who did it? – Everybody is thinking about it.
Soon, the atmosphere began to condense, and everyone who had been talking about it closed their mouths tacitly......
Zhu Changjue originally saw that Li Chun's front foot had just left, and Zhu Changzhe followed with his back foot to say goodbye, intending to make fun of it, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, his smile instantly stiffened, and the fist under his sleeve was also clenched.
He got it.
That's why the atmosphere is suddenly awkward - everyone is suspicious of him. They all secretly suspect that it was him who assassinated Cheng Ziyu.
Recently, only he and Jue Wangfu have formed a bond with Cheng Ziyu!
Dou's affairs, Wang Yue's affairs, the affairs of the concubine, and the affairs of Wei Hong, especially the entire capital, it is known that Cheng Ziyu confronted the concubine in the imperial garden, and the concubine was defeated.
The dignified concubine was picked off the horse by a little woman, and even he, the prince with the highest voice in the upper position, was also affected, which was not only a great shame, but also a slap in the face, or a deep hatred. Not only did he lose face, but the gap between the Jue Wangfu and the crown prince that he had managed to open up narrowed again......
Therefore, no matter who it is, Jue Wangfu has regarded Cheng Ziyu as a thorn in the flesh that has to be removed.
And tonight, not only is the sky not good, the sight is not good, and the road conditions are not good, but it also happens to be the banquet of King Jue's Mansion, Li Chun is not waiting by Cheng Ziyu's side, who sees that tonight is an excellent time......
The moment Zhu Changjue figured it out, he felt a chill.
At this time, he seemed to have realized the fear in his heart when the prince was assassinated by an inexplicable Ancheng...... He was a little up and down, and he couldn't help but think about it. Is someone trying to frame it? Or is someone trying to stir up a relationship between him and Li Chun?
At this time, Zhu Changjue, the first person to suspect was the prince, obviously he didn't expect that this was a play written and acted by Cheng Ziyu......
The officers and soldiers almost arrived at the scene with Li Chun.
Cheng Ziyu, who was covered in blood, was lying in Li Chun's arms and dying, and the officers and soldiers were not good at taking a closer look......
Everyone gasped.
And Li Chun was angry and hugged the person to his horse, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared and went to the doctor in front of him.
When everyone looked at the carriage, they inhaled even more.
The door of the carriage was shot through, and several arrows were stuck in the back of the carriage. With the center of the arrow and the depth of the wood, it is clear that it is going to kill people!
Who has such a big grudge that they want to dispatch a black-clothed killer to attack a woman? ……
Li Chun is a celebrity in front of the emperor, who dares to slack off? A few days ago, the Vinland assassination storm just stopped, and this happened again, who can afford it? It was Jingwei who dealt with this matter almost as quickly as possible.
Half an hour later, the officers and soldiers, Liu Er and a few representatives of the guards had arrived in the palace to face the saint.
Guard: Someone deliberately made a trap to roll the general's carriage down the mountain, but thanks to their vigilance, they immediately pulled the crazy horse and the unbalanced carriage.
Officer: Yes. There are deep pits, which are indeed dug by man, and the digging time is not long. There is a hillside on the left hand, and there is a high probability that the carriage will fall off after it is unbalanced......
Guard: When the other party couldn't make a plan, he came up with a second set of plans, and simply came to shoot and kill.
Officer: Yes. The arrows are purposeful. Only to the carriage. Only for the county lord, the killing intent is obvious.
Guard: After the sneak attack failed, the other party made a third shot, the two sides confronted each other, the other party's martial arts were strong, if it wasn't for the signal flares released by them, I was afraid that the other party would not give up.
Officer: Yes. In the forest not far away, some robber clothes and props were also found, and the other party probably wanted to pretend to kill people and steal goods after getting their hands on it.
Guard: I tried my best to chase them, but the other party came prepared, and they had already prepared a way to retreat, and they tried their best but still found nothing.
Officer: Yes. There were mottled footprints in the woods, scattered in all directions, and there were no rules to follow, and finally the clue was broken on the avenue full of car wheels and footprints......
For this scene, Liu Er, who was still bleeding out of her arm at the moment, had been brewing all night, and after soaking the cuffs of chili noodles and pasting her face, she suddenly burst into tears and snot, and performed a good performance:
Lord, Holy One! Those arrows flew in without long eyes! If it weren't for the fact that the generals sent to the county lord were all top masters, if it weren't for the general's strong carriage, if it weren't for the fact that he had learned martial arts for a few years, if he hadn't protected the county lord to dodge left and right, the county lord and himself would have been shot into hedgehogs at this time.
Officer: Yes. The county lord was carried away with blood. The injury should not be minor.
Liu'er: I'm not afraid of death, but if the county lord has three longs and two shorts, what will the general do? This is just a new marriage, how can the general stand it! It's only been half a day since we were separated today, and this happened, how should the general blame himself! The general values love and righteousness, I'm afraid I can't accept it!
The officers and soldiers looked at Liu'er, is it so serious? Should or shouldn't?
Officers and Soldiers: Ran ...... The general looked grieved, staggered, and flew to the county lord to get on his horse. That back is indeed a little unbearable to look at......
The emperor turned his back and felt a little pain in his heart.
What Liu Er said makes sense. I couldn't keep it back then, and my son couldn't keep it either? After studying all his life, will his son also take this path? He still has the world, but this son doesn't even have an identity, what should he do if he wants to take away his people?
For the first time in his life, the emperor felt that for the sake of his son, he didn't seem to be able to let Cheng Ziyu have an accident. Especially when he saw that his son was already interested, he was very attentive now!
The guards and officers and men described the situation again and reported the casualties and losses. It was also stated that there were several witnesses at the time of the incident, who were nearby villagers. They all saw the scene of the man in black drawing a bow and shooting arrows, and when the man in black fled, the people were afraid of being implicated, and they closed their doors and windows one after another, and did not dare to open the door until the officers and soldiers appeared.
Before they came, the people of the nearby dozens of miles had gathered at the place where the crime occurred, and they were afraid of such a bad murder and robbery, and they begged the Holy Lord to bring the murderer to justice, return justice to the county lord, and restore them stability......
Well.
To do a show, naturally you have to have a full set.
Of course, Cheng Ziyu arranged for the man in black to play with a real knife and a real gun. The surrounding people can not only be eyewitnesses, but also help to make a big deal out of it for the sake of their own living environment. That's the effect.
Of course, Cheng Ziyu will not use these people in vain, she has always been gracious and will be repaid, and she has already thought of a way to be grateful......
The emperor asked Xiang Liu'er tentatively: Does Cheng Ziyu have made enemies recently?
Liu Er rolled her eyes in her heart and said secretly: Do you really not know or are you pretending to be confused?
But she still followed Cheng Ziyu's instructions and continued to fan the flames:
The county lord has a good heart, and after entering Beijing, he has never caused trouble, and he has always lived in a simple place, and has no enemies. But today, the mastermind of the disaster dared to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he was able to retreat without leaving his feet, obviously not afraid of the power of heaven, but also strong. Not only does he know the route of the county lord's entourage, but he also calculates the general's whereabouts, which is terrifying to think about......
The emperor's heart was as angry as a thunderclap, and he instantly jumped eight feet high, and then he was afraid for a while.
Indeed!
The bold are not afraid, but only with this strength and ability can people worry.
He also thought of the assassination of Vinland a few days ago, very similar, is it a coincidence or the same group of people? If it is the latter, it is not a big deal to wronged the prince, the key is that he has become a knife behind the scenes, this is a blasphemy of imperial power, this is a provocation, this is a big disrespect, and it is a little terrible......
But Liu Er suddenly knocked on the ground, almost startling the emperor.
"The slave and maid have something to say, please ask the emperor to answer and forgive the slave and maid for their innocence."
The emperor knew that Liu Er's name was hanging on the guard, and it was Li Chun's person, so he naturally agreed.
The guards and officers and soldiers were motioned to wait outside the hall.
Liu Er kowtowed again.
"The slave maid just thought of one. Your Majesty, listen to it. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"If tonight's events are only for the county lord, it won't be terrible. But what if the drunkard doesn't mean to drink? ”
The Emperor's eyes narrowed instantly.
If the purpose is not Cheng Ziyu? Where is it? At Li Chun's!
"You mean ......"
"Will anyone want to mess up the general's heart......"
Liu Er stopped when he clicked, which was requested by Cheng Ziyu.
The emperor will not like people who are too smart, because he himself is suspicious, and it will be better to let him think about what is wrong and be afraid.
Sure enough, the emperor's face was darker than the previous times.
Li Chun is his most powerful and trusted arm. If the heart and mind of this arm are confused, who is harming? It's him, it's him, the emperor!
That's the real scary.
That's right, who cares about a mere Cheng Ziyu? But as soon as Cheng Ziyu dies, Li Chun must not be able to stand it, just like himself back then, how many years will it take to recover? It should be said that it will not be able to recover for many years!
Li Chun's child is dead-eyed, if he can't think about it, then he will lose this son. At that time, he was caught off guard and was tantamount to a dragon with broken wings, and he was not ready to catch it?
The emperor's back instantly chilled, his mouth was dry, and his anxiety swelled.
"Thorough investigation, thorough investigation!" He muttered.
It was when he was so upset that Li Chun, who was covered in blood and had an angry face, appeared.
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair with great disaploy.
Fortunately, there was a false alarm, and all the blood on his son was Cheng Ziyu's blood.
"How's Jinxi doing?" The emperor's throat tightened, and he stared at Li Chun. For the first time, he cared so much about Cheng Ziyu's life and death.
"Hit two arrows. There were also three abrasions and numerous bruises. One of the arrows is half an inch deep, and there is a fear for life. ”
In this way, there is no danger to his life, and the emperor breathes a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good. So, Chun'er, would it be good for me to let you investigate this matter thoroughly for yourself? The Emperor's tone was a little cautious.
"Madame is seriously injured, and I will go back to accompany her. Besides, I have to avoid suspicion. Li Chun's expression was cold, his expression was depressed, and his whole person was full of frustration.
"It's not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself like that......"
"It's my fault." He actually interrupted the emperor, which shows that his proportions have been thrown out of order. When the emperor heard this, his heart ached again.
"I thought that by following me, she was the greatest protection for her. But after only a few days, she became like this. This was the case in Ningbo before, and this time it is still like this. With me, it seems to outsiders to be a blessing, but whether it is a blessing or a curse is still unknown. ”
The emperor's eyebrows jumped again.
"You also think this is coming at you?"
Li Chun didn't respond head-on, but said: "If I can't even keep her, how can I help you guard the country?" ”
The emperor was speechless. There is nothing wrong with that.
Li Chun retired.
The emperor could not sleep.
Not only for Li Chun, but also for the current situation.
He began to think about it, cleaned up the prince, cleaned up the concubine, after the power plate was stirred, there would be a counterattack, perhaps, he should make the chessboard clear with his own hands!
The emperor ordered a thorough investigation, dispatched a lot of people, he did not sleep all night, went back and forth in the imperial study until dawn, and then went directly to the court......
