Chapter 62: The Assassination

Today's Emperor Chengshun is no longer the boy who escaped the class of the famous teacher and came to her to beg for osmanthus cakes. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info too many things have happened over the years, and Hua'er has changed from a favorite minister to a powerful minister... The relationship between the monarch and the minister is insignificant... This pile shows that the Zhou family is different from the past...

"The Zhou family can't afford the wind and rain now, but then again... Now is an eventful autumn, how can there be no wind and rain?" Old Madam Zhou sighed again. "It's okay now, but you... And Jiuro, you have to know how to plan ahead..."

Nie Xiaofan just wanted to ask what the wind and rain was, but someone came to report that Xiangye and the Ninth Young Master were back.

Mrs. Zhou called both of them to Fu'an Hall for questioning.

Nie Xiaofan absentmindedly carried Mrs. Zhou back, listening to what Mrs. Zhou meant, did she tell them to prepare a way out early?

She has fallen into the eyes of money recently, and many times she is busy with business, and occasionally she is distracted and cares about the news of Zhou Qiaoqiao's return to Beijing, but she ignores the Zhou family... Is the situation of the Zhou family so grim?

Nie Xiaofan couldn't think too much, so Zhou Shaoyang and Zhou Jiulang greeted Mrs. Zhou one after the other.

"Sit down. Mrs. Zhou said.

Nie Xiaofan sat down next to Zhou Jiulang, she hadn't seen him for a day and a night, he had grown a scumbag, the whole person was solemn and cold, she felt a sense of strangeness...

Sensing her gaze, Zhou Jiulang quietly shook her hand. Zhou Jiulang's unique warm body temperature was transmitted to her palm, which always made her feel very reassured.

The two only interacted slightly, but both of them felt unprecedented peace of mind in their hearts.

As soon as Zhou Shaoyang opened his mouth, he said shocking news: "The sixth prince has been assassinated!"

"What's going on now? Can you find out the murderer?" asked Mrs. Zhou hurriedly.

Zhou Shaoyang looked at Zhou Jiulang.

The sixth prince was assassinated in the palace, and after he woke up, he recruited Zhou Jiulang into the palace.

"Your Highness is in a coma at this time. Zhou Jiulang said: "He summoned me to the palace to help him find out the real murderer." ”

Xia Yue was assassinated in the palace, except for Concubine Min, the people in the palace could no longer be trusted. It was only then that he thought of summoning Zhou Jiulang into the palace to help him track down the murderer.

"Yesterday afternoon, Concubine Min Guifei summoned the six princes into the palace to discuss the marriage with Miss Huang Er... The six princes drank too much, and they were ready to leave the palace at the time of the unitary time, and they were halfway through..."Zhou Jiulang briefly said what he knew:

Because the six princes drank some wine, they wanted to relieve themselves halfway through, and it was difficult to find Gong's place for a while, so they had to find a remote forest, but they didn't want to give the killer a chance.

Before the sixth prince fell into a coma, he personally said that he could only rest assured that the case was handed over to Zhou Jiulang.

Without him, the news of the friendship between the six princes and Zhou Jiulang would have been known in the capital for a long time. At that time, Xia Yue's life was hanging by a thread, and he was assassinated in the palace, so it was reasonable to trust only Zhou Jiulang. The emperor did not doubt him.

"How are you investigating?" Zhou Youxiang asked again.

Although the two met in the palace today, they didn't have time to talk in detail.

"Uncle Li went to Jingyang Palace yesterday... And it's also out of the palace at the time of unitary, coincidentally... Uncle Li also wanted to relieve him halfway, and the eunuch who sent Uncle Li out of the palace said that he would never return..."Zhou Jiulang said.

This case is not difficult to investigate. The reason why it has been delayed from last night to the present is because Zhou Jiulang suddenly entered the palace, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xia Yue's gourd, if it was just to investigate the case, there would be someone more suitable than him. But if he uses this to drag the Zhou family into the water to help him deal with others...

Zhou Jiulang thought about it, so he had to use a procrastination trick, and waited for his uncle to enter the palace the next day and give him a hint, so that he could find out Uncle Li Guo, who was injured and unconscious and hiding in the abandoned palace. As for why he was injured and unconscious, according to the little chamberlain, this was beaten by the six princes when they resisted bravely.

The emperor was not even willing to interrogate, and directly sentenced Uncle Li Guo to be executed. Empress Li's position is already precarious. But this is not within the reach of the courtiers. They waited until the imperial doctor said that the six princes were not worried about their lives, and then they left the palace.

Nie Xiaofan listened to the passing by before and after, but he was still confused.

Even if Uncle Li wanted to kill Xia Yue to pave the way for the Twelve Princes, how could he do it himself? The emperor actually killed him just by listening to the words of the six princes' family?

What's the secret here?

Nie Xiaofan thought so and asked.

Zhou Jiulang said: "The sixth prince was seriously injured, and he almost lost his life last night... And what hurt the six princes was the hosta of Uncle Li Guo's hairpin, which was full of poison... Your Majesty, this is a hurry!"

That's why in anger, he killed Uncle Li.

Nie Xiaofan's face turned pale, obviously frightened, if it weren't for Zhou Jiulang personally saying that Xia Yue was fine, she once thought that Xia Yue was dead. The eunuch who came to deliver the message yesterday... It's a little intriguing.

"I'm afraid it's not just that. Mrs. Zhou, who had been silent, looked at Zhou Youxiang and said: "I remember that you said a few days ago that the Li family does not interfere in politics on the surface, but only a rich and idle family, but in fact, they secretly raise many secret guards. This thing... I'm afraid the emperor also knows, right?"

Zhou Shaoyang nodded silently. Therefore, as soon as this incident came out, the emperor was angry.

What Emperor Chengshun hates the most is that his relatives interfere in politics!

"Now that Jiulang has helped to do this, even if our family has already stepped into the camp of the Six Princes... I hope that the Taji people have their own natural appearance. Old Madam Zhou sighed again.

Zhou Shaoyang glanced at his nephew, as soon as he understood the whole story, he understood that Zhou Jiulang was waiting for him to make a decision, but the clever layout of the six princes made everyone unable to guard against it.

At that time, the six princes were in danger, and if Zhou Jiulang, the person entrusted by the six princes, did not find the murderer, then he would definitely have to bear the wrath of Emperor Chengshun...

Now in the court, the Zhou family can speak to Zhou Jiulang, a junior, and Zhou Shaoyang does not dare to gamble with him. So I had to choose to spare no effort to help the six princes...

That's it!

Zhou Shaoyang sighed and waved away the two young couples. Since the sixth prince can treat himself like this, and can ensure that everything is under his control after falling into a coma, it is obviously not a good match. He wanted to take another look, but now it seems... I can't help him.

Zhou Jiulang and Nie Xiaofan held hands and returned to Liuxiang Pavilion, and as soon as they entered the study, Nie Xiaofan asked: "Xia Yue summoned you into the palace, but on the surface, she only trusted you to help find the murderer, but in fact, she pulled the Zhou family into the water." But is there any other reason besides that?"

Zhou Jiulang smiled: "What else can there be?" Do you remember when we went to help you find medicine, the killer along the way?"

A killer along the way?

"Did you find any evidence from Empress Li?" Nie Xiaofan said.

"No evidence is needed. Zhou Jiulang looked at Nie Xiaofan and said, "When I enter the palace, the emperor will inevitably ask me why Xia Yue believes me." I'm just telling the truth. ”
