Episode 10 Chapter 8

There were no more accidents on the road, and Tang Yin and his party returned to Yancheng smoothly. Because Xuanwang was seriously injured, Tang Yin took him directly to the palace and found Su Yelei and other skilled doctors to treat Xuanwang.
The severed arm may have been possible in modern times, but it was powerless with the medical technology of the time. After some first aid, Xuan Wang's surname was saved, but the broken arm was completely abolished.
Xuan Wang fell asleep groggily, and Tang Yin ordered the Dark Arrow personnel to personally escort Xuan Wang back to his own home, and then ordered Cheng Jin to strictly interrogate the assassins, no matter what, to find out their identities and the instigators behind the scenes.
There was such a big thing in the capital, and Cheng Jin was also frightened, so he responded again and again and took the order. At this time, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and other ministers also rushed to hear the news, and when people saw that Tang Yin was fine, they all let out a sigh, and then heard that Xuanwang was seriously injured, and they all frowned.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone and muttered, "I don't think the assassins are coming at me, but at Lord Xuan!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and their brows furrowed even deeper. Xuan Wang is a nerd, dealing with organs all day long, and he is really not very good at dealing with people, but he has no quarrel with the world, and he has no political enemies in such a complicated court, so how can he have an enemy? Moreover, the enemy is so powerful that he can seriously injure Xuan Wang under Tang Yin's nose.
Zhang Xin's eyes rolled, and he suddenly gasped, and said: "If the king's expectations are not bad, the assassin is really coming for Lord Xuan, then the matter will be complicated, and it will probably have something to do with Karakuri Villa." ”
Qiu Zhen sneered beside him, while shaking his head and rolling his eyes. He hates Zhang Xin, who likes to fan the flames everywhere, this is a complete villain, but the king still trusts him more, which makes Qiu Zhen feel extremely uncomfortable.
Tang Yin asked puzzledly, "What basis does Master Zhang have to think that the assassins have something to do with Karakuri Villa?"
Zhang Xin Zhengse said: "King, think about it, if Lord Xuan is assassinated, who will get the most benefits? Although the king asked Xia Yufu to supervise the Ordnance Division, the Ordnance Division is actually still in the hands of Lord Xuan, and the manufacture of our army's ordnance is still under the command and transfer of Lord Xuan, and if Lord Xuan is killed, then the Ordnance Division will completely fall into the hands of Xia Yufu, and the development of our army's ordnance will be under the control of Karakuri Villa in the future. ”
After listening to Zhang Xin's analysis, many of the ministers present couldn't help but stir up a cold war, and Tang Yin also took a deep breath. What Zhang Xin said was not unreasonable, but did Ingenuity Villa really have such great ambitions? Do you really dare to take risks to assassinate important ministers in the court?
He pondered for a long time, shook his head slowly, and said quietly, "Probably not." If Xia Yufu wanted to harm me, she wouldn't have saved me in the first place. ”
Zhang Xin looked anxious, and said hurriedly: "Xia Yufu was helpless to save Wang Da at the beginning, not to mention, it doesn't have to be Xia Yufu to know about doing things in Karakuri Villa...... The king is wise, and the reasons for each are automatically not repeated. ”
Tang Yin understood what Zhang Xin meant, Xia Yufu was originally a person from Karakuri Villa, as long as she could be promoted to the position of the head of the Ordnance Division, it would be equivalent to the fact that Karakuri Villa controlled the Ordnance Division, as for Xia Yufu's own wishes, it didn't matter. Tang Yin was silent, and at this time, Qiu Zhen spoke: "The stakes are very high, involving the life and death of many people, Lord Zhang only based on his own speculation to set the crime of assassinating the minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, I'm afraid it is unfair, right?!"
Zhang Xin is deeply favored by Tang Yin, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is still quite afraid of this left prime minister Qiu Zhen. He laughed dryly and said: "Qiu Xiang, the lower officials are just talking about things and making speculations according to common sense, of course, I don't dare to guarantee that it must be the truth of the matter, but I don't think about it." ”
Qiu Zhen said coldly: "Many things cannot be speculated with common sense, and if you want to convict others, you must have conclusive evidence." ”
Zhang Xin smiled slightly, and was about to open his mouth to argue, Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't fight anymore, when the dark arrow judges the assassin, the matter will naturally come to light." As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and kept muttering: "In front of me, I will not spare my ministers!"
Everyone saw that Tang Yin's mood was extremely bad now, and people looked at each other and retired one after another.
Before leaving, Qiu Zhen proposed to Tang Yin to personally interrogate the assassin, but Tang Yin didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement. Seeing that Qiu Zhen was going to interrogate the assassin, Zhang Xin's mind turned, and he secretly scolded himself for being confused, why didn't he fight for this rare opportunity for meritorious service and pleasing talent, but let Qiu Zhen seize the opportunity. He hurriedly followed and asked Tang Yin for his order to be a jury.
Tang Yin knows Zhang Xin's personality somewhat, although he likes to talk nonsense everywhere, but his loyalty to himself is still no problem, and he does not dare to reverse black and white on major issues. Tang Yin thought about it for a while, and also agreed to Zhang Xin to be the jury.
Not long after the ministers left, Tang Yin's three ladies hurriedly approached from outside.
"I heard that the king was assassinated outside the city?" Wu Mei's surname was the most anxious, and she was the first to rush to Tang Yin's side, asking with concern while looking him up and down to see if he was injured.
Tang Yin smiled and comforted: "I'm fine, don't worry." Shuhaige said: "In front of the two armies, I still come and go freely among the ten thousand enemies, how can a few assassins hurt me?!"
Hearing him say this, Wumei's face finally showed a relieved smile, and then she frowned again, and said, "The king should be more careful in the future, and he can't go out of the palace casually." ”
Tang Yin looked at Wu Mei's worried appearance, and couldn't help but be happy, he suddenly felt that Wu Mei seemed to be much more mature, and now she knew how to care about herself, which made his heart very useful. He gently grabbed the dancing soft and nodded in response, "I understand." ”
Wu Mei asked, "I heard that Lord Xuanwang was also injured, how is the injury?"
At the mention of Xuan Wang, the smile on Tang Yin's face immediately disappeared, and he slowly shook his head and said, "One arm is useless." ”
Wu Mei's face turned pale, and she said in surprise: "It's so badly injured?!" Among the many courtiers under Tang Yin's command, Xuan Wang is an old minister, one of the courtiers who has followed Tang Yin for the longest time, Wu Mei and Xuan Wang are also very familiar, and now that she heard that he was injured so badly, she felt uncomfortable, and her eyes gradually turned red.
Knowing that Wumei's surname looks like a big deal, but in fact she is very soft-hearted, Tang Yin patted the back of her hand and said, "Fortunately, the surname is saved, as long as the person is fine, it is a blessing in misfortune." ”
"Yes!" Mai Mei replied, but her tone was still choked.
When Tang Yin and the three ladies were talking, a guard outside came close to report: "King, Xia Jie, the owner of Karakuri Villa, asks to see you!"
Yo! Xia Jie's news is so well-informed, he knew that something was wrong so quickly! Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, nodded and smiled, waved his hand and said, "Let Master Xia Zhuang come closer!"
"Yes, my lord!" replied the guard, turning and walking away quickly.
Tang Yin said to the three ladies: "You go back first, and then I will look for you when I am done." ”
Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi naturally understood that it was inconvenient for them to be present when Tang Yin was dealing with business, so the three girls didn't say anything more and left one after another.
It didn't take long for Xia Jie to approach in a hurry under the guidance of the guards.
"Xia Jie see the king!" Xia Jie knelt on the ground and greeted him with a big salute.
Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xia, please get up!" This king has just visited Mr. Xia, why did Mr. Xia come to the palace to see this king again?"
Xia Jie straightened his face and said: "The old man heard that the king left the villa and encountered assassins on the way back to the capital, so he came to visit and saw that the king was fine, and the old man was relieved. ”
He said that coming to visit was only one aspect, and the main purpose was to clarify that he had nothing to do with the matter. After all, Tang Yin was assassinated on the way to leave Karakuri Villa, which made it difficult not to cast suspicious eyes on Karakuri Villa.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, the tiger's eyes turned into eagle eyes, staring directly at Xia Jie, after a long time, he smiled and said: "It's really Mr. Lao Xia's trouble, this king has nothing to do, and Mr. Xia doesn't have to worry about it anymore." ”
On Xia Jie's face, Tang Yin saw nothing but calm or calm, if this was what he pretended, it could only be said that Xia Jie's city was too deep and his acting skills were too clever.
Xia Jie didn't come empty-handed, and at the same time brought a few packets of high-quality tea, which is said to have the effect of suppressing and concentrating. Tang Yin only postponed it slightly, and then accepted it with a smile.
After the guests were seated, Tang Yin asked Xia Jie some of his opinions and suggestions on the Wind Weapons Division in his casual chat. Tang Yin's question seemed casual, as if it was a family chat, but in fact, there was a secret mystery, he wanted to find out whether Xia Jie paid attention to the Ordnance Department through such a conversation and how much he knew about the Ordnance Department.
However, Xia Jie couldn't answer Tang Yin's question at all, he didn't know anything about an institution that he didn't know about and was completely unfamiliar with, and in front of the monarch, how could he dare to put forward any views and suggestions?
Looking at its shape and listening to its words, Tang Yin didn't see what Xia Jie would have to do with this matter, but the result of the interrogation of the dark arrow was much beyond his expectations.
With the exception of the seriously wounded Assassin who could not be interrogated, the other two Assassins confessed, and when their confessions arrived, they all insisted that they were instructed by Karaknik Villa to assassinate Xuanwang.
Such a confession coincided with Zhang Xin's speculation, but Qiu Zhen did not believe it, and felt that the assassin's confession was too easy, and the assassin confessed the 'truth' in full without seeing how much torture the hidden arrow personnel used.
Qiu Zhen submitted to Cheng Jin that his confession was wrong and must be retried, while Zhang Xin was impatient to take the confession to Tang Yin and convict Jiqiao Villa.
