Chapter 277: Assassination of the County Lord

Zhou Feng glanced at Song Mu, but he didn't make a sound, while Song Yang frowned and thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"You just said that He Xiaze was assassinated before the war, I remember that he was on his way back to Jincheng and was assassinated on the way back to the border pass." Song Yang suddenly thought of something and asked: "Second brother, do you remember that after Xingchen and they came back, they once mentioned the matter in Jincheng, He Xiaze's current wife is a guest in Yinjiabao and is An Xun's cousin. ”

"Yes, that Liu Hui'er was not a good thing before, and she almost harmed Xingchen ......and them in Yinjiabao" Song Mu's nerves were a little rough, but he still quickly reacted that something was wrong, straightened up and looked at Song Yang and asked: "Big brother, do you suspect that it was An Xun's hands and feet that were done at all, and he wanted He Xiaze's life?" Then Liu Hui'er and An Xun are still in contact, isn't she ......"

Song Yang nodded, and the brothers looked at Zhou Feng in unison.

"I neglected my relatives." Zhou Feng did not mean to blame the two.

The relationship between officials in the capital is very complicated, and if you want to dig deeper, almost all of them have some kinship, which is one of the reasons why they ignore it.

Of course, Liu Huier has no place in her mother's family, which is the most fundamental reason why everyone will ignore her.

"I'll give He Xiaze a letter and ask him to arrest that Liu Hui'er and torture her, I don't believe that she doesn't confess!" Song Mu's brain was rushing again.

"Put away your fiery temper." Song Yang glared at Song Mu warningly, looked at Zhou Feng and asked, "The second prince thinks that this Liu Hui'er can be useful?" ”

Zhou Feng lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then instructed Song Mu: "Tell He Xiaze and let him cooperate with the capital to perform a play." ”

Although Song Mu's mind is not as flexible as these two, looking at Zhou Feng's demeanor, he knows that there is a good show to be staged.

The three of them figured out how to teach Zhou Ding some lessons, and then left.

Let's say that Yelang took Song Xingchen out for a walk, the Song family would not stop her, and Song Xingchen himself was even more happy, as long as she was allowed to get out of the suppressed emotions left by living in the palace for two days, it would be good to go shopping on the street.

"Yelang, you should have heard the news, right?" The two played for a short day, and on the way back to Beijing, Song Xingchen asked on the shoulder of Yelang.

"Zhou Ding asked to marry you as a bargaining chip for peace?" Yelang asked in a flat voice.

"Hmm." Song Xingchen nodded and explained: "I really don't know that Zhou Ding, and I don't know how he knows about me, even if the emperor nods, I won't marry him." ”

"I know." Yelang nodded, "With such a good candidate as a prospective husband like me, marrying a prince of another country, and becoming a pawn between the two countries from now on, a fool will agree." ”

"Are you complimenting me on my cleverness?" Song Xingchen raised his head and asked.

"Praise you for not being stupid." Yelang bowed his head and replied.

"Then you're complimenting me on being smart." Song Xingchen smiled and chose the answer he liked to hear, scratched Yelang's palm and said, "Why aren't you jealous?" Some people are worried about your fiancΓ©e, and they are worried about coming to the door, which is not in line with your character. ”

"This proves that my star is attractive, and that the people who are seeking to marry have been lined up in other countries. Although that Zhou Ding is not a good thing, he is also the identity of the prince, which is also raising my value. Yelang smiled evilly: "As for jealousy, it's not just words, it's better to prove it with actions." ”

"Yelang, you made a move, didn't you?" Song Xingchen sat up abruptly and asked excitedly, "Hurry up and tell me, how do you plan to rectify Zhou Ding?" That guy shamelessly wants to marry me, I can not worry about him, anyway, he is the one who is ashamed. But if it weren't for him, there would be no war, and I wouldn't have lost so much silver, and maybe how much I would have to contribute to the court in the future, I have written down this hatred. ”

Yelang chuckled, pinched Song Xingchen's face and said, "You, you're really a little money fan, I don't know how many people want to exchange silver for the identity of a county lord, and you don't care so much." ”

"Anyway, there are not many county lords in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and they are all in the fiefdom, and my own county lord status is not bad, and now that I have become a county lord, I am only a little higher in position, but I don't even have a little money, so it's obviously a pit." Song Xingchen pouted.

"Let's hear it, how did the identity of this county lord come to you to become a pit?" Yelang asked with a puzzled expression.

"Alas! It's all tears, this time I entered the palace, the queen gave me a hint, which means to encourage me to make more contributions, so the identity of this county lord is by no means as glorious as it seems on the surface, it is a bottomless pit at all, when I think of my hard-earned silver every year to contribute, my heart has a feeling of suffocation, what do you say this is not a pit? Song Xingchen made a heartbeat.

The smile on Yelang's face deepened a little, and he reassured: "It's okay, I'll be responsible for earning money in the future, and you will be responsible for filling the hole." ”

"But your money was mine! Speaking of which, I still have to bleed from my own family, and I have lost a lot this time. Song Xingchen threw himself into Ye Lang's arms and said in a muffled voice: "Ye Lang, why am I so miserable, I finally lived a good life for a few years and became a big boss, but it turned out to be working for others, and I feel stuffed when I think about it." ”

"Haha." Yelang laughed out loud, patted Song Xingchen on the shoulder and said, "Just spend money to buy peace, your identity as the county lord can save you a lot of trouble." Let's continue to talk about the previous topic, don't you want to know how I rectified Zhou Ding? ”

"yes, hurry up and hear about it." Song Xingchen raised his head with a look of anticipation.

"I'm just sending someone to ......" Before Yelang finished speaking, he tightly took Song Xingchen into his arms.

With the coachman's shout, the carriage quickly galloped, but he could still hear the sound of sharp arrows flying, and occasionally one or two would shoot into the carriage, but with Yelang guarding, Song Xingchen would not be injured.

"Hide." Yelang spoke in a low voice, motioning for Song Xingchen to hide in the space.

"I'm going to be with you." Song Xingchen shook his head and refused.

"Well, I'll leave the interrogation to you later, okay?" Yelang coaxed softly, and raised his hand to block two more sharp blades.

Song Xingchen also understood that if he stayed, he would only become a burden to Yelang, so he had to whisper: "Then you have to be careful, I am by my side, if the situation is not good, I can't take care of it so much." ”

Yelang nodded, and when he saw Song Xingchen disappear out of thin air, he rushed out of the carriage.

"If you want my Yelang's life, it's up to you to do it." As Yelang spoke, he pulled out the long sword placed on the car and walked towards the bushes on the side.

Seeing this, the coachman drove to the side, picked up his weapon and guarded the outside of the carriage, and did not enter the carriage to investigate, believing that his male master must be sure that the female protagonist was safe, and then he would come out to fight.

Yelang's martial arts are very strong, but the number of people sent by the other party is large, and the two sides are entangled together, and they actually fight for half an hour.

However, Yelang has not been at a disadvantage, if he hadn't been distracted from the carriage, he would have already seen the victory or defeat, and there was no need for the secret guard to show up.

"Master, they all committed suicide." After the secret guard finished the inspection, he reported to Yelang.

"Bring back all the corpses and hand them over to Suncheonfu for verification." The corners of Yelang's mouth hooked, and he sneered: "The emperor has just given him the identity of the county lord, and someone has come to murder, which is a provocation to the imperial power." ”

The corners of Song Xingchen's mouth twitched in the space, and she could see Yelang's expression clearly from her angle, and she was quite cute when she first found Yelang's belly black.

It's just that this matter doesn't seem to be coming for her, otherwise the carriage would have been cut down a long time ago.

Shuntianfu received a report, and the roots of his teeth hurt.

The envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom was still in the capital, and Yelang was so blatantly transporting so many corpses over, it was simply a slap in the face and made him feel bad in front of the emperor.

But the Song family has been in favor recently, and it involves the safety of the county lord, so Shuntianfu can't help but accept the case, but there is no clue to start for a while.

In the Song Mansion, Song Lu knew that after Song Xingchen and them were attacked, his face changed in fright, and after making sure that neither of them was injured, he directly ordered Song Xingchen not to leave the mansion recently.

As for the rest of the Song family, in the eyes of the Song Lu family, there is no need to be so cautious, after all, every time something happens, Song Xingchen is indispensable.

"Eldest sister, I want to borrow it from my eldest brother-in-law." Song Xingchen smiled and winked at Song Yueya, and the sisters left hand in hand, so as not to continue to be poisoned by Song Lu's noise.

"This girl, I'm really getting more and more disobedient, and before I finished speaking, she even dragged the crescent moon away." Song Lu said angrily.

"Madame doesn't have to be angry, Miss Fourth is also afraid that you will be angry, and Miss Fourth has promised you that before getting married, she will never leave the house without your consent, this is Miss Four's filial piety." Zhang's mother hurriedly poured a cup of tea and asked Song Lu's to extinguish the fire.

Song Lu's anger really dropped a lot, but he still chattered, but Zhang's mother could only listen and occasionally persuade her.

More than a dozen dead soldiers wanted to assassinate the county lord who had just been promoted, and the news spread in the capital in less than a day, and even the emperor in the Jinluan Palace could not be regarded as unaware.

In the imperial study, the emperor pressed his chest with one hand, trying to smooth his breathing, listening to the progress of the Shuntian Mansion report, but it was obvious that the ability of the Shuntian Mansion Yin could not satisfy the emperor.

Looking at Shuntianfu Yin, who lowered his head to the ground, the emperor said coldly: "Give you three days, if you can't catch the real murderer, go home and think about it." ”

Shuntianfu Yin didn't dare to say no, and knocked out of the imperial study with a cold sweat.

Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, the chief eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a cup of ginseng tea, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the slave is going to pass the imperial doctor?" ”

"No need." The emperor shook his hand, "Let's all go down and rest for a while." ”

"Yes." Dehai shook off the dust and left with everyone.

After the door of the imperial study was closed, the emperor took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve, which was given to him by Zhou Jin.

To be exact, this is the spiritual spring water that Song Xingchen gave to Zhou Jin, and Zhou Jin gave to the emperor out of filial piety.

It's just that the emperor was moved by Zhou Jin's filial piety, so he only left half a bottle, and let Zhou Jin take the rest away, but Zhou Jin finally gave the half bottle to the queen.

As for Zhou Feng's bottle, it was originally meant to be given to the emperor, but later he and Zhou Jin kept half of it, and only the four of them in the palace had this life-saving spiritual spring water.

But the emperor didn't want outsiders to know about the existence of this thing, so he never let the imperial doctor check it.

"Immortal water, may make me live a long life?" The Emperor sneered at the bottle, and finally just put it away.

As for the efficacy that Zhou Jin told him, the emperor didn't fully believe it, but he didn't want the imperial doctors to study it, so as not to leak the news and become a disaster.
