After a careful examination, it was confirmed that Qian Duo was in good condition, as long as the wound was not infected, and then slowly recuperated.

Zhao Mengqi relieved his heart and walked out of the West Wing.

The morning sun shines on the wall, the branches are golden and light, the osmanthus buds have not opened, and the fragrance seems to be nothing.

Zhao Mengqi stretched his waist, "Before I know it, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival......

After all, it has been exactly half a year since I came to this world, and it seems that I have done a lot of things, but it has not changed much, and the wheel of history is still rolling silently on the original track.

Is the butterfly effect wrong, or are your wings too small to set off too much wind and waves?

Yesterday's arrow, just half a centimeter away, was about to end itself, it seems that the traverser is not invincible.

When he sighed, Geng Zhi came to report, "Your Highness, the Chang Commander has returned, and he has also brought back the assassins, but he is dead......

"Dead?"

Zhao Mengqi was puzzled, Chang Geng had always done things properly, and he must have known the importance of living a mouth, how could he let the assassin die?

"It is said that the assassin was dead when he found him, probably by himself."

"Dead? It's kind of interesting, let's go, let's see."

Zhao Mengqi became interested, and then went to the second hall of the mansion.

At this time, Wu Qian and a group of officials also gathered in the second hall and were asking Chang Geng for details.

Seeing Zhao Mengqi walking in, he still looked like he was fine, and everyone was surprised.

Wu Qian knew that Zhao Mengqi woke up last night and was fine, but he thought that no matter what happened, he would have to heal his injuries and recuperate, but now he couldn't see any injuries at all, and he was still acting as usual, so he was naturally very surprised, "Your Highness, how are you ...... It's okay, it's okay, God bless Da Song!"

Everyone who reacted saluted one after another, although they didn't know why King Yan looked at him yesterday and was still seriously injured and in danger, and he could jump around today when he turned his head, but everyone's faces were full of joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether it is a general in the army, or an official of the Yamen such as the Zhejiang Xi'an Pacification Division, now they are all in the Yan Wang family, and their net worth and ambitions are pinned on Yan Wang, so they naturally hope that he is safe and sound.

"Well, I'm fine, you're worried...... Did the Assassin find anything?"

Zhao Mengqi replied with a relaxed face, but his eyes looked at the corpse in the hall.

The body is not tall, but it is very strong, especially the chest and arms are much thicker and wider than ordinary people, the appearance is unremarkable, it should be in his thirties, and the body is also wearing ordinary fine linen clothes, which looks not much different from the ordinary people in Pingjiang City.

Next to the corpse were some objects, a dagger, a strong bow, and a plate containing some jiaozi and copper coins.

Chang Geng began to retell what had happened, "Yesterday's dark arrow was shot from the northeast, after carefully searching all the attics in this direction, a clue was found in a Qinglou called "Baiyun Depth", this bow was found in the room on the second floor, but no one was found, so after interrogating everyone in the Qinglou, he re-searched the suspicious places within a mile nearby, and finally found the body in a vacant house......

Zhao Mengqi picked up the bow, which looked like an ordinary yellow birch bow, and pulled it casually, but found that the bow was not small, and he could pull it away as usual, but at this time he was injured and did not dare to use it.

Chang Geng explained in a timely manner, "The last general has tested, and the bow power is five with one stone, and it is not a military standard, so I can't find the source for the time being."

"Five with one stone? So the Assassin is still a marksman?" Zhao Mengqi frowned slightly.

According to the standards of the Song army, all bows are divided into three grades, nine buckets are the first, eight buckets are the second, and seven buckets are the third.

The requirements of the Praetorian Guard are higher, the archers of the palace and the infantry divisions wear armor, shoot one stone and two fighting power in sixty steps, twelve arrows, six arrows in the battlement, etc., that is, the elite, if the crossbow is used, the crossbowman with armor, one hundred steps to shoot four stone power, twelve arrows, five arrows in the battlement, etc.

However, this assassin used a bow with one stone and five stones, at a distance of nearly one hundred and thirty steps, that is, about two hundred meters, and could shoot Zhao Mengqi's chest very accurately, which was equivalent to the top sniper in later generations.

After all, it was a bow and there were no optical sights.

It is estimated that there are not a few such characters in the entire army of the Great Song Dynasty, but now they have been reduced to disposable items, and after completing the task, they consciously committed suicide by taking poison.

From this, it can be inferred that it is definitely extraordinary to be able to nurture and use the power of such a dead man.

Immediately, Hou Tao spoke, "Your Highness, the lowly rank and others have carefully checked, there is no special mark on the bow and arrow dagger, this person is very clean, there is no identity information, and the clothes are all produced in Pingjiang, I am afraid that I can only draw a shadow to check his whereabouts......

Zhao Mengqi shook his head, "Forget it, don't bother, if the mastermind behind the scenes dares to leave these, he must be confident and not afraid of investigation."

"Your Highness is reasonable, but even if you can't find clues from the assassins, it's not that there is no other way, it stands to reason that not many people know your Highness's whereabouts, but the assassins can ambush on the path, and I think I can start here."

The duty of the Imperial City Division is to investigate the female to prevent espionage, but he let King Yan be assassinated and almost died, which is a very serious crime of dereliction of duty, so Hou Tao had to be active in order to make up for his mistakes.

When he said this, it was tantamount to starting with the people around Zhao Mengqi, and then the various yamen, as long as they could get in touch with Zhao Mengqi's whereabouts, they were all suspicious.

Zhao Mengqi thought about it for a while, but still refused, "Maybe it's not the news leaked from Pingjiang, after all, a few little ladies didn't deliberately hide it when they set off from Wujiang, and people with a little ulterior can also guess that I'm going to pick up people, so I don't think there's a need to mobilize people."

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, this time it can only be regarded as an accident, but it reminded me that I will take more precautions in the future, assassination will not work, as for the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as I am alive, they will eventually show their feet."

"That's the end of this matter, no need to check it again, the liberation test is imminent, students from all over the world will gather in Gusu, it is too disturbing, it is easy to affect their exams, everything will return to normal, when this has not happened."

It's not that Zhao Mengqi is generous, but he understands this kind of thing, even if he keeps tracking it down, he can't find any results.

Just like when Renzong was in the palace, he was assassinated by four forbidden guards, the whole assassination process was like child's play, and the four assassins themselves had no motive, after the assassination failed, three of the four died on the spot, and one was actually injured and escaped, it was easy to be captured alive, but in the end he was killed by a knife.

What's even more paradoxical is that in such a major case as the assassination of the emperor, only a few people in charge of the security of the palace were removed in the final process, and then they were no longer investigated, so it was over.

Therefore, most of these cases involving politics will not really come to light, and even if the so-called truth is found, it may not be the truth.

Zhao Mengqi knows where his enemies come from, they are a group, but they don't have a specific organization, and they don't even have a core person, even if there are clues to track down, what is thrown out in the end is just a scapegoat, and it can't really hit them.

It's better to waste time on such meaningless things than to do something serious at your own pace.

Then he looked at Wu Qian, "I remember that the courtyard was locked on the fifth day of the first month, and before that, the affairs of the exchange were implemented, so that those big guys would have to stay in Pingjiang all the time......
