Chapter 493: The war resumes
The emperor was assassinated?
How is this possible?
Since the Rebellion of the Nine Kings, the emperor has been more careful, and almost all the military power has been managed to be included in his own hands, and many sentry posts have been set up inside and outside the palace, why was he suddenly assassinated?
Lu Kun only let the horse spin around twice on the ground, and pulled the horse's reins to "drive"! Like an arrow from a string, the man flew away from the spot and quickly disappeared from everyone's view.
Seeing this, Sweep Red was still in the mood to fight with people, turned over on the horse, tightened the reins, and at the same time whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse raised its two front hooves, neighed, and galloped towards the street in front.
……
……
Yan Ran's inn suddenly rushed in a group of soldiers, surrounded the entire hall on the first floor, as if driving livestock, and drove all the people sitting in the hall to eat or chat in a small corner, even the running hall in the store.
The shopkeeper is crackling behind the counter with an abacus, his hands are trembling, the abacus beads are messy, where can he still see the calculation results clearly?
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a little meaning of the shop, please drink tea. I just don't know, it's ......"
The officers and soldiers who took the lead angrily snatched the silver from the shopkeeper's hand and shouted: "Catch the assassin!" Did you see anyone suspicious? ”
"Assassins?" Everyone turned white with fright and honestly accepted the interrogation.
The shopkeeper's lips trembled, he knew the history of this assassin, and the Nine Kings Rebellion had only been a few days? How many people died at that time? The streets of the capital are red for several days, can people not be afraid? But at this time, what happened to the guests? Who was assassinated? How many people? Is it a man or a woman?
Everyone was full of questions, but no one dared to ask more, not only did they not dare to ask, but they even breathed lightly, for fear that they would catch the attention of others if they panted a little more, and thus were regarded as assassins.
Yan Ran guarded the window, frowning lightly. It's been a few days, and she still hasn't thought of a way to go into the prison to see Li Miaoxian. But the more this dragged on, the more uneasy it made her, who knew that that day, as soon as the emperor was happy, he let Li Miaoxian's heads fall to the ground?
Lu Ju stayed beside Yan Ran, and when she saw Yan Ran frowning, she sighed with a sigh. To say that this green chrysanthemum and Li Miaoxian have been together for longer than with Yan Ran, how can they have no feelings? Hearing that she could see her for the last time, she was also full of expectations, thinking in her heart that if Li Miaoxian still had any unfinished wishes, she might be able to grit her teeth and help her complete it, so that she would not disappoint the master and servant. But I never thought that it would be such a situation today, I heard that it is not possible to visit the prison in prison? Why can't they get here?
Huang Ying's mother and daughter were not here, they were all sent out by Yan Ran to find out the news.
At this time, there was a commotion in the building, and there was a "pop" knock on the door outside their door, and someone even shouted in a rough voice: "Come out, come out, all gather below!" ”
The master and servant didn't know why, they looked at each other, and Gu saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Lu Ju strengthened her courage and asked outside the door, "This big brother, is something wrong?" ”
"The emperor has been assassinated, we are investigating the assassins, everyone listen, all cooperate a little, otherwise they will be mistaken for assassins......"
"The emperor has been assassinated?" Yan Ran only felt that half of her body was weak, and she almost fell off the chair.
Green Ju was worried and rushed over, holding her, "Miss......"
"I'm fine." Yan Ran waved her hand, her face recovered a little, "It's just that I can't accept it when I hear this news suddenly." Looking up at Green Ju, Green Ju's face was not very good at this time, and he was just holding back the shock.
"Pack up your things, let's get down quickly." Yan Ran pondered and said to Lu Ju, "I'm afraid that if you don't go down for a while, someone will come and slam the door." ”
When Green Ju heard this, she quickly cleaned up everything with her hands and feet. Fortunately, they didn't want to stay for a long time, and they brought very few things, just a little baggage.
Yan Ran didn't pay attention to Lu Ju after giving the order, nor did she take another look at the things in the house, and laid out all the things she knew about the court situation in her mind, but she didn't analyze it, who sent someone to assassinate the emperor.
The brothers of the emperor today, in addition to the nine kings who have died, some other people are also dead, and those who go to the fief go to the fief, and there is only one king left in the capital now.
Others don't know, but Yan Ran knows that today's King Cheng doesn't have such great ambitions, and he hides in the palace every day and trembles like a frightened bird, where will there be such thoughts?
So who else?
Those kings in the fiefdoms...... Yan Ran is really unfamiliar and doesn't understand.
This is still really difficult for her, her good-looking brows are locked into Sichuan characters, and she follows Lu Ju all the way down the stairs, and many people have gathered downstairs. Everywhere was guarded, except for a table in the middle of the hall, in front of which sat two scribes, and those who came down from the upper floors were all brought before them in two lines.
Yan Ran and the others naturally joined one of the teams without exception, waiting for questioning.
"Name?"
"Wang San'er."
"People there?"
"Yanzhou people's clan."
"What are you doing here?"
"The small ones are the buyers, come and do some small business."
"Alone?"
"No, no, there are three fellow villagers in the small one, two of them have gone out to buy goods, and there is also an official you asked just now."
Na Wenshi glanced at the paper on his desk, and there was indeed a Yanzhou man named Zhang Hu in front of him, so he didn't ask again, waved his hand, and said, "Next." ”
For a while, there were only four voices left in the hall, two questions and two answers, one after another, the person who asked was cold and arrogant, and the person who answered was cautious.
Soon all the people in the main inn had gone through, and there was no problem, and the soldiers retreated like flowing water, and went to inspect other places.
There was no one in the hall of the inn, and when they heard that the city gate was closed, everyone chose the cat to enter their room first. Yan Ran is no exception.
When Huang Ying's mother and daughter came back, they didn't even go down to eat dinner, but simply asked for a few bowls of noodles, ate them in their respective rooms, and got together again.
Huang Ying and the others came back from outside, and they heard more news than Yan Ran and the others, but they only heard some fur. It seems to say that the emperor suddenly went on a whim to meet the prince of the northern nomads who had been captured, but as soon as he entered, he was assassinated......
Yan Ran's eyebrows jumped, feeling very bad, it was just a stable situation, and if it was not handled well, the war would be rekindled.
