Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Chess Piece
Woe to you!
Gao Zhongyi saw the corpses that were carried clearly, and only felt that his eyes were dark.
The Tang Dynasty was not a thousand years later, and there were very few pure civil officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but there were many civil officials who danced knives and guns.
Gao Zhongyi is no exception, and he still understands weapons.
It is precisely because of this understanding that I am more and more panicked in my heart.
How long has the emperor been away from Luozhou, and someone actually mobilized the royal guards to kill!
"Thorn history, the catchers are all dead and strong, the man in black over there, burly, although the clothes are covered, but the boots are all Jin Wuwei's, and the bows and crossbows and arrows are also standard equipment."
"How did they die?" Gao Zhongyi moved and came to the corpses of a group of black-clothed people.
"They also died from arrows."
Gao Zhongyi frowned and looked at them one by one, and finally his gaze fell on a strange corpse.
"What's going on?"
What he was looking at was Lu Qian's corpse, Lu Qian's face was full of fear, and his hands were strangled around his neck, obviously strangled to death by himself.
"Thorn Shi, this person looks familiar." One person on the side came out of the crowd, but it was Xing Ying, the former judicial officer.
"I forgot, you were in Jinwuwei before." Gao Zhongyi saw Xing Ying who was speaking, and said suddenly.
Xing Ying stepped forward, observed carefully, thought carefully, and suddenly said: "I remember, this person is a clansman of Lu Tong, the general of Jin Wuwei, named Lu Qian, and he is a lieutenant in Jin Wuwei. ”
The corners of Gao Zhongyi's mouth twitched, and he knew in his heart that this Jin Wuwei was really involved, and everyone knew that Jin Wuwei's general Lu Tong was the prince's person.
"You immediately notify me, several city gates have been shown to me, and anyone suspicious, no matter who it is, will be imprisoned first."
After Gao Zhongyi finished instructing, he left immediately, he was going to see the princess, how to deal with the rest of the matter, leave it to Gao.
After a day of tossing, the prince's injuries finally stabilized.
At this time, the crown prince finally received a message from the secret agent of the Assassin's Mansion.
Be furious!
The prince was lying on the bed, eager to kick Lu Tong to death.
Lu Tong hung his head tremblingly, not daring to distinguish in the slightest.
"What now, you say!"
"Your Highness, Lu Lingfeng is missing, he must be hiding, I will order him to go down and dig three feet into the ground to find him!"
The prince said coldly: "This matter naturally has to be done, that Gao Zhongyi is my aunt's person, and now it is equivalent to sending the knife to my aunt's hands!" ”
"Your Highness, what should I do then?"
"Will I hand it over to you! I heard that Zhonglang General Xie Hui and Lu Lingfeng have always been at odds. ”
Lu Tong glanced up at the prince with difficulty, and then said, "The minister understands." ”
"Don't mess things up this time!" The prince closed his eyes slightly, and said, "You make arrangements, go back to Chang'an tomorrow!" Step aside. ”
Zheng Mansion.
Lu Lingfeng woke up slowly.
"Wake up!"
Pei Xijun looked at Lu Lingfeng in surprise, and the boulder in his heart finally fell.
"Xijun, where is Zheng Chaoming?"
The happy Pei Xijun's face changed, and the first person Lu Lingfeng wanted to see when he woke up was not her, but Zheng Chaoming, which made her embarrassed.
"I'll help you find him." Pei Xijun stood up angrily.
It's a pity that Lu Lingfeng is as unaware as a piece of wood, and his name for incomprehensible style is well deserved.
Zheng Chaoming was called.
As he walked, he said, "Lu Lingfeng, are you in such a hurry to find me?" Don't let Xijun misunderstand. ”
Lu Lingfeng fainted out of breath and was about to have a seizure, but he wanted to know what was going on outside, so he said slowly: "Zheng Chaoming, how is it outside now?" ”
Zheng Chaoming didn't relax his vigilance against the outside situation this day, he really knew some things, after all, now rumors are flying all over the sky, more than a dozen Luozhou catchers have been killed, a big deal.
"Your group of brothers is gone."
Lu Lingfeng was a little gloomy when he heard this, although he had already known the result.
"In the afternoon, their bodies were found and sent to the Assassin's Mansion."
"It's very lively in Los Angeles right now."
After hearing this, Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but think of Jin Wuwei who assassinated him, and he still had some doubts in his heart.
"Say, who ordered Jin Wuwei's men to kill me?"
"Jin Wuwei!" When Pei Xijun heard this, he immediately exclaimed.
"Calm." Zheng Chaoming smiled: "There are more exciting ones in the back." ”
Lu Lingfeng seemed to have an answer in his heart, and he looked at Zheng Chaoming.
Zheng Chaoming said: "I received news that the prince was injured and will not be humane in the future." ”
Pei Xijun stood up when he heard this, ashamed and shocked.
The corners of Lu Lingfeng's mouth flashed with a wry smile, and then he asked suspiciously, "Where did your news come from?" ”
You must know that even if he was at the scene, he only knew that the prince was injured in the crotch, and he didn't know the details.
Zheng Chaoming said: "It's spread all over the street. ”
But he said in his heart: "This is what I created, and the rumors on the street are also spread by me." ”
Of course, this information is still surging in the undercurrent, and it has not yet exploded, but the grapevine is like a volcano and will explode tomorrow.
"Now I know, why you and such subordinates died."
Lu Lingfeng sighed again, and there was a trace of worthlessness in his heart.
Thinking about his fierce loyalty, but he ended up being driven out of Chang'an, even so, he did not change his loyalty to the prince, who knew that in this Luozhou, he was given up again.
It can't be said to be given up, but to be silenced.
Those catchers who are loyal to Datang are so innocent.
"Don't feel sorry for yourself." Zheng Chaoming said: "In the eyes of the so-called superiors, where are we people." ”
Lu Lingfeng looked up in astonishment.
Zheng Chaoming laughed at himself: "By the way, I forgot, you originally belonged to the upper echelons, where did you think about the suffering of the lower classes." ”
Lu Lingfeng fell into deep thought, this period of time away from the family's shelter and wandering away made him know a lot.
"What are you going to do in the future?"
Lu Lingfeng said: "I'm afraid that the prince won't let me go, I can't go back to my family, and now I can only live in the rivers and lakes, endlessly chasing and killing." ”
When Pei Xijun heard this, she felt a lot of kinship, Lu Lingfeng was only dismissed from office before, and she still had the confidence to never give up, and life and death depended on each other.
Now that Lu Lingfeng has offended the prince, it is fatal, Pei Xijun is not stupid, if she does not draw a clear line with Lu Lingfeng, she is afraid that her father will also be in danger of his life.
Zheng Chaoming said: "It's not impossible. ”
"What's the solution?" Pei Xijun hurriedly asked, more anxious than Lu Lingfeng.
Zheng Chaoming said: "The prince wants your life, so it's better to change the prince." ”
When Lu Lingfeng heard this, he couldn't believe it, Zhongjun's thoughts were deep in his bones, and he was really a little uncomfortable with the current state.
Zheng Chaoming said: "You said that you are also a child of a family, but I have never seen a few children of a family like you, who have been educated to be loyal and patriotic." ”
"Youdao is a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, aren't the children of the family all responsible for the rise and fall of the family?"
"I've never seen you like this, how did your family cultivate you? No, you brought it from outside. ”
When Lu Lingfeng heard this, he was shocked.
Lu Lingfeng is not stupid, it's just that he has never thought of it this way before.
Now that we have undergone a great change, it seems that the thoughts that were bound in the past have been released.
After listening to Zheng Chaoming's words, and thinking of the state of the children in the clan, he couldn't help but connect his experiences back and forth, as if there was really a conspiracy here!
And he's just a pawn!
