In the lobby of the Xu family, Xu Qian sat here with a gloomy face, silent.

As for the others, they sat on both sides, and Wang Cheng sat at the bottom of Xu Qian, looking palpitating, and his face was pale.

Shuntian Mansion Yin, the local Jinyi Wei Qianhu, the commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, and even the Criminal Department and Dali Temple also came.

Shuntianfu Yin coughed, told the story one by one, and finally came to the conclusion: "Last night, there were indeed seven or eight thieves who sneaked in, and after killing Wang Daozhong, they immediately fled in the direction of Dongcheng. In addition, footprints and bloody knives were found, among other things. ”

Xu Qian said: "Then can this murderer be stopped?" ”

Fu Yin smiled bitterly, hurriedly shook his head, and said: "The thieves are familiar at a glance, their whereabouts are uncertain, and they have escaped, although the whole city has begun to investigate, but the lower officials think that they must have left a way back, but they are afraid of ...... People can't hold it. ”

What he said was the truth, although he could fool and say that sooner or later he would have to take it and show some confidence, but Lord Fu Yin was not a fool, if he said so, then the court would definitely order the murderer to be chased, but the question is, where do you find it? If you can't find it, it's your dereliction of duty, it's better to render the strength of the assassin now and leave a way back for yourself, otherwise wouldn't you be pitting yourself?

Wang Cheng, who was sitting on the side, suddenly slapped the case fiercely and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, such a big thing happened, and you just gave such an explanation?" If you can't find an assassin, what if you die? Fortunately, the guards of the Xu family found out in time, if these assassins killed Wang Daozhong and came to kill Lord Xu and me, wouldn't we also die in vain? There are so many high-ranking officials in this Beijing division, won't everyone be in the future to make a noise. You guys...... What exactly do you eat? ”

Several people suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, in fact, they were also wronged. I was woken up in the middle of the night, and I was confused to handle such a big case. And the Assassins are gone, where can they be found?

It's just that they naturally don't dare to say anything more, and the current situation is that the more they say, the more wrong they are, and whoever says it is unlucky.

Xu Qian said quietly: "In fact, whether you can hold the assassins or not is secondary, these are just a group of dead soldiers, all of them are for people's lives, the official just wants to know, who is the instigation of this, if there is no one to instruct it." Why did these assassins carry out such elaborate assassinations, what were their plans, could it be that killing Lord Wang would be of such great benefit to them, and they did not rob money, it can be seen that they had a plan, so the official thought that the top priority at the moment was to find out who was behind the scenes. You must investigate this matter clearly, otherwise when the time comes, this official will have trouble sleeping. Besides, this Lord Wang, who still has an official body, bought a murderer to assassinate the official of the court. This is a capital offense, ladies and gentlemen...... I have to think of a way. At that time, Uncle Wang and I will definitely go to Chen Tian to listen. Let the Son of Heaven do it within a time limit, if you can't do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it at that time. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but shiver.

In fact, everyone's attention was on the assassin, and they didn't think of anything else, but now that they think about it, something is wrong.

Many people suddenly thought of many rumors in the market, what royal road was brought into Beijing by Xu Qian, just to criticize Yang Yiqing, and it is reported that there are many relevant criminal evidence, and there are even some serious criminal evidence related to Yang Yiqing, which is enough to make Yang Yiqing rob his family and destroy his family.

And it is rumored that the Yang family has begun to arrange, saying that someone has gone to the hometown in the royal road, originally these are just rumors, only ignorant people will talk about it, and as an official of the imperial court, it would be stupid to believe this.

But...... Right now......

Is this a murderous mouth, Yang Yiqing Lord Yang is afraid of the East Window incident, afraid that the royal road will be unobstructed, and even afraid that it may harm the whole family, after all, people are accusing you of the great crime of rebellion and conspiracy, people have come all the way to Beijing, and they are still so low-key, are they still here to travel? Without conclusive evidence, Yang Yiqing can't be killed all at once, people have the courage to come here?

But now...... Man is dead, and the dead cannot speak.

Everyone felt more and more suspicious, if this was really Yang Yiqing's hand that instructed people to move, then ...... How terrible this will be, on the one hand, the cabinet ministers, on the other hand, the household department Shangshu and Uncle Guo, which end is not easy to mess with, you can't give Xu Qian and Uncle Guo an explanation, people are going to deal with you, but if you really find out something, Yang Yiqing jumped over the wall in a hurry, maybe he will also do you.

This time...... I'm afraid it's really fatal.

Everyone's faces were heavy and uneasy, but since Xu Qian said this, he had to say, "The lower officials do their best." ”

As he was talking, a eunuch came to the palace, read out the edict of the Queen Mother, and then said: "Lord Xu, Uncle Wang, please enter the palace quickly, the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time, and she can't be delayed." ”

Xu Qian and Wang Cheng glanced at each other, naturally preparing to enter the palace, as for these officials, they had to stay in the Xu family and obediently look for clues.

Along the way, Xu Qian, who was sitting in the sedan chair, closed his eyes motionless, Wang Daozhong, of course, he killed himself, the thief shouted the trick of catching the thief, he didn't think it was how, the contradictions involved now are too great, whether it is the dispute between Wang Xue or the old school, or the dispute between the Xu Party and the Yang Party, or even the struggle between the emerging interest groups in Zhejiang and the old vested interests, it is inevitable.

Xu Qian represents millions of people, some of these people are buried in the court, there are Confucians in the school, there are students who shake their heads, there are hired workers who plant mulberry cotton in the fields, and there are apprentices who work in the workshop, if Xu Qian fails, it means the failure of everyone, once it fails, it is no longer the same as before, a few people step down and take responsibility, and a few people return to their hometowns, but millions of people are affected, the new government officials are deposed, Wang Xue's disciples are studied, and even get rid of fame. The gentry who planted cotton mulberry suffered heavy losses, the merchants went bankrupt, and countless workers lost their livelihoods and became homeless, and finally starved to death from hunger and cold.

Since he has created a new world, Xu Qian at this moment is no longer a person, his success is the success of thousands of people, and his failure is the failure of thousands of people, so Xu Qian doesn't mind, he doesn't mind unscrupulous means, he doesn't mind using all kinds of means, he only pursues the result, and the one who becomes a big thing is also pursuing this result, whoever wants to be a roadblock, then kick him out, if he stands on the opposite side of Xu Qian, stands on the opposite side of Xu Qian and the thousands of people behind him, Then try your best to kill him.

This is a very simple truth, so Xu Qian at this time, his mood is extremely calm, and the qiē he is carrying out now is all arranged by him, including the Shuntian Mansion and other yamen, including Wang Cheng, including the current palace, he in the sedan chair desperately thought about whether there were other loopholes, and finally when he confirmed, he closed his eyes and took a nap.

At the noon gate, the two got off the sedan chair and walked into the palace together, went directly to Cining Palace, and paid homage to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was furious, but when she saw that Xu Qian and Wang Cheng were both safe and sound, she relieved her heart and couldn't help but say: "The mourning family is worried about death, these thieves are really daring, this world seems to have been peaceful for too long, and many officials are becoming more and more perfunctory, so there is such a big thing, fortunately, you are safe and sound, and it is good to be safe." ”

Wang Cheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, we have a great fortune, and we have to live to be a hundred years old, just a few thieves, what are you afraid of?" ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Hugh wants to talk nonsense. ”

After that, he looked at Xu Qian and said, "What happened last night, you can tell me quickly." ”

Xu Qian didn't hide it, he told everything that happened last night, his logic was very clear, organized, and almost reproduced everything that happened last night.

The Queen Mother frowned again and again when she heard this, and kept saying: "The thief is really damned, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can there be such a thing, how can it be reasonable, no wonder there will be such a thing in the palace, look at what the mess outside has become?" ”

Xu Qian said: "But as Yongfeng Bo said, we are blessed with a great life, and it doesn't hurt." It's just that Weichen has some words, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

The Queen Mother said: "You just say it." ”

Xu Qian frowned and said: "Last night, a guest in Weichen's mansion was killed by assassins, so Weichen thought that these assassins should be coming for this guest, but what kind of person, so bold and reckless, actually dared to go to Weichen's house to kill people, Niangniang also knew that Weichen's father was the commander of Jinyiwei, and several cousins in the house were also on business in Jinyiwei, and the guards were gathered, and the precautions were not strict. Now that the person has died in Weichen's house, Weichen will give him an explanation no matter what, so he must definitely urge all yamen to find out the real culprit, especially to find out the main messenger behind the scenes, otherwise there will be no answer for a day, and Weichen is uneasy,"

These words are naturally polite and courteous, the queen mother is a woman, of course it will not be too deep, but after Xu Qianyi reminded her, she was also on guard, and said: "What you said is, whoever eats has nothing to do, runs to your house to kill people, unless it is necessary to kill, the relationship is important, you can rest assured, this palace will definitely urge His Majesty Xià, and issue a decree to urge Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu to arrest the real culprit, this matter, must be thoroughly investigated to the end, this is not only for you, but also to set an example, if someone assassinates you today, Isn't there someone who wants to assassinate His Majesty tomorrow? This wind must not be long, and there must be an explanation. ”
