Chapter 50: Rumors Spread (Part 1)

Shangguan Changzhi had a headache and began to secretly regret it. I knew that I wouldn't have used the assassins to plot for a while, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a dilemma as I am now.

The news that the assassins had infiltrated the Deqing class and would assassinate Emperor Tai was occasionally obtained by Xu Sansi. It is a coincidence that Xu Sansi went to the Deqing class to listen to the play earlier, Xu Sansi is very thoughtful, and he saw that Xiao Zhao's body shape was exquisite and not like an ordinary person, so he paid attention. Unexpectedly, Shun Teng found out that this person wanted to assassinate the emperor, and he was shocked to report to Shangguan Changzhi that he knew. Shangguan Changzhi wanted to tell Emperor Changtai the news immediately, but after thinking about it, if he told Emperor Changtai like this, he would have no other benefits except for a dispensable report. In order to get the most out of the assassin's affairs, he devised such a plan: let Li Guifei be seriously injured in order to save the emperor in order to gain the emperor's mercy and guilt. This great credit is too important to Shangguan Changzhi, and for the sake of double insurance, he also informed his cronies Xu Sa of the matter, so that he could rush to Cining Palace as soon as possible, and also made a contribution to saving the driver. This plan was repeatedly confirmed by him and Li Ke'an and others that it could be seamless, how could this credit be won by Concubine Mu in the end? Xu Sa was also suspected because of his nervousness, and he is still in the prison of Dali Temple.

Li Guifei couldn't save the car, and he also got in a Jin Wuwei Zhonglang general, how much effort did he and Xu Sansi and other staff members spend to make Xu Sa a Jin Wuwei Zhonglang general, now! It's all in the soup! Originally, Xu Sa had another great use, but it was damaged in this assassination, this is really stealing chickens and rice! Shangguan Changzhi's mood is not something that can be described by the words regret and anger.

"Did the rumors get out?" In Qingzhu's house, several maids in spring, summer and winter have rested, and the four little maids in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are not qualified to keep vigil, only Qiu Ge stays by Shen Ning's side.

"I've already explained to my brother, and I should be able to hear the news in the next two days." Over the past year, Qiu Ge's heart has gradually become calm and resolute. Although a lot of news involves death and life, she never asked, and only silently explained Shen Ning's success, just like Shen Ning asked her to pass on a shocking news to Qiu Wu earlier, although her face changed, she could still keep her speech clear.

On the Holy Birthday Festival, there will be an assassin assassinating the emperor, and Li Guifei wants to block the sword and seek to save the driver - this news was narrated by Shen Ning himself, conveyed to Qiu Wu through Qiu Ge, and then sent by the grasshopper to Concubine Mu's mother's house, Bian's house, and then there was the scene where Concubine Mu stumbled Li Guifei and blocked the sword in person.

The reason why Shen Ning knew this news was because the previous Shangguan Changzhi said it himself. has made great contributions to saving Li Guifei and Xu Sa, and this matter is one of his most proud handicrafts. At that time, when they were still in love, he used this incident as an interesting example to Shen Ning a few times, and she remembered it very clearly. In this life, how could she still give him the opportunity to make such a great contribution? The reason why the Bian family was told the news was to pull Concubine Mu and the Bian family into the game. She is most willing to do the thing that blocks Shangguan Changzhi, how can the battle for the heir be limited to the second, third, and fifth princes? The mudder the water in this Jingzhao, the more interesting it is, isn't it? Shen Ning showed a cold smile, thinking of the bitter cold of Changchun Cold Palace, her heart was extremely cold and lonely. Fifth Prince, do you think that's the end of the matter? Then you're wrong, it's not over yet.

For several days in a row, Jingzhao's teahouses and wine shops were faintly spreading a message, and this news was about the assassin on the Holy Birthday Festival. It is said that the reason why there are assassins mixed in is that the older prince wants Emperor Changtai to abdicate, and the truth has nothing to do with King Sheng, but is the handiwork of the princes! Tea guests, wine drinkers, and passers-by were all talking in whispers, and many people also said a lot of doubts about this matter: King Sheng has been in Ganzhou for more than 30 years, why did he assassinate the emperor at this time? The news also said that the assassin was put in by Jin Wuwei, and some tea customers even said that it is said that Jin Wuwei Zhonglang ran to the toilet many times with Xu Sa's face panicked, which shows that there is something unspeakable...... Such news was confusing, but it spread in a similar way, spreading with the momentum of a fierce fire, and it spread all over Jingzhao at once.

At this moment, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince and their concubines all changed their faces when they heard the news! Their mother clan and wife clan were all shocked and frightened, especially the fifth prince Shangguan Changzhi, who was half cold when he heard the news: Don't want to fish Xu Sa out now! How could such news come out? Shangguan Chengyou, Shangguan Changzhi, the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department, and the Shilang Mansion of the Criminal Department were not only frightened, but also sent people to quell the rumors, and at the same time made every effort to trace the source of the rumors.

After checking and checking, it is impossible to find the true source of the rumors. I only know that the news was originally a group of beggars muttering in front of the teahouse, there are many beggars in Jingzhao, and the mobility is large, no one knows who came out first, so naturally it is impossible to check it.

Emperor Changtai naturally also heard the news, or a rumor. When he heard about it, his face changed a few times, and some of the words of this rumor happened to speak of Emperor Changtai's secret thoughts. The truth of the assassin this time really has nothing to do with King Sheng, and the more than 20 Ganzhou merchants are just the dead soldiers of Emperor Changtai! Even the confession of the Ganzhou accent spoken by the dancing girl was also forged by the secret guard that he ordered the secret guard. Before the Treasury could check the weapon, the Dark Guard had replaced the assassins' swords. From the first moment after the assassination, the moment when he was facing the death situation, and the moment when he was still guarding Concubine Mu, he thought about using this assassination to stab him in the heart - King Sheng! Regardless of whether the assassin was sent by King Sheng or not, Emperor Changtai will confirm his crime of intending to kill the king and seize the throne! Therefore, the hundred officials of the court thought that the assassin was sent by King Sheng, but in fact, who sent the assassin, and what the truth of this assassination was, Emperor Changtai had not yet found out.

Could this rumor be true? Could it really be that his emperor can't wait and wants to send someone to assassinate him? He remembered the sentence that the royal family has no affection, and remembered that he was ruthless in framing his brother, could his son really be so rebellious? Is this the truth about the assassination? Emperor Changtai couldn't help but start to be suspicious.

"The truth? The truth is never important, what matters is what someone gains from it and what someone loses from it. When everyone's plans are intertwined, things are even more confusing, and I don't know what the truth is......" Shen Ning lay on the bed, looking at the rabbit-shaped copper hook on the tent, muttering to himself. After two lives, she didn't know who led the assassination, and the truth of the assassination in Cining Palace was not found out in her previous life until the Zhengzhao period.

As the rumors intensified, Jingzhao Mansion also arrested several tea customers who spread the rumors, but because there was no specific charge, they were only locked up for a few days and released. This move made the Jingzhao people believe in the authenticity of the rumors even more, and under the guidance of the well-intentioned people, the focus of the Jingzhao people gradually gathered on the body of Xu Sa, the general of Jinwuwei Zhonglang, and more people were willing to believe that Xu Sa was the one who responded! Jin Wuwei General Huang Yanqing frowned, deeply afraid that the continuation of this rumor would affect Jin Wuwei's image, and couldn't help urging Dali Temple Qing He Kenan to step up the trial of Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General Xu Sa.

Xu Sa was actually very sad, although he knew that there would be assassins in Cining Palace, but the assassins were from the Deqing class, he didn't know! Otherwise, he would not have looked at it curiously when Deqing Ban entered the palace, and thought about the assassin in his heart, so he ran to the toilet a few times nervously, and in this way, the Jin Wuwei soldiers noticed that something was wrong, so he was imprisoned.

But he said that he was wronged, and he bit it because he was curious, so he glanced at Deqing Ban a few more times, and ran to the toilet because he had a stomach trouble that day, and flatly denied knowing about the assassin. He knew that there was only suspicion and no evidence, and Dali Temple could only convict him at most. Besides, the five princes will definitely save him, if he tells the story of knowing about the assassin, it will not only be death, but a great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan! No matter how the jailer of Dali Temple tortured, he said that he was wronged and did not know that there was an assassin.

The interrogation reached an impasse, and neither Jin Wuwei nor Dali Temple found conclusive evidence to correct Xu Sa's connection to the Assassins. Xu Sa had never been to Ganzhou, and at his age, it was impossible for him to have any contact with King Sheng; The reason why he was able to serve as a lieutenant general was because of his superb martial arts, and secondly, because of his excellent luck. Those who competed with him had mourning in their homes. The investigation showed that his net worth was clear, and the officials of Dali Temple had nothing to do, so they had to report the matter to Emperor Changtai for his decision.

It just so happened that Emperor Changtai was not in a very good mood, although Concubine Mu recovered, but the people of Ganzhou seemed to have the meaning of avenging King Sheng. He ordered Wang Bei and Zhu Dunshi to channel the people's feelings, and experienced the crimes of King Sheng, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. It just so happened that Dali Siqing came to tell Xu Sa about it, and in line with the principle of preferring to kill a thousand rather than let go of one, he ordered Jiang Xu Sa to be dismissed from his post and beheaded! In this way, he not only vented the anger in his heart, but also dealt with the rumors, Xu Sa was very unlucky to be accused of being involved with King Sheng and being a detailed work of King Sheng in Jingzhao, and he was scheduled to be beheaded in three days.

The news that Xu Sa was about to be beheaded was soon learned by Shangguan Changzhi. Originally, he also planned to intercede for him with Xu Sa's strong martial arts, but now Emperor Changtai was angry on his head, and it was useless to say anything, so he had to find another way. What's more, there are rumors that make him anxious, and the situation is really miserable. On this day, the second prince Shangguan Chengyou asked him to go to the Zichen Hall to show his loyalty to Emperor Changtai, and he agreed. The two brothers were very affectionate, and they couldn't see anything wrong with them at all, so they came to Zichen Hall with a smile.
