Chapter 5: Killing Madness
Chu Zishan smiled calmly under Prime Minister Li's questioning and scrutiny: "A few days ago, I asked the maid to go to the market to buy some things, and the maidservant girl smelled a strong smell of human blood on the people along the way.
My four handmaidens are first-class scouts on the battlefield, they are my clairvoyant ears, and they have a keen ability to detect and perceive danger.
They thought the passer-by was weird, so they followed the man to a cloth village, where there were many black-clothed people and weapons hidden in the backyard of the cloth, and overheard the black-clothed man saying that he would act on the 26th.
The handmaid came back and told me that I thought it was an assassination, and I sent the handmaid to make sure, but the man in black and the weapon were gone.
I'm afraid that in case, the matter of human life is not to watch, today at night, I took the maid to hide in a high place, in the middle of the night I saw a lot of people in black, we followed all the way, the man in black actually went straight to your mansion. ”
Prime Minister Li let out a long breath and stroked his beard: "It's a shame that the big girl is alert." ”
"They still have people to go to the back alley, Lieutenant Yuan has already passed, I hope they can arrive in time to rescue." Chu Zishan lowered her eyes, she had limited manpower, she could only protect the prime minister, and other people, she could only say that she was powerless.
"The people who live in the back alleys are all cabinet ministers." Prime Minister Li smashed his fist on the tea case, shaking the tea set.
"Prime Minister, where is the Prime Minister?"
There was an urgent cry outside the house, and then the door of the study opened, and Lieutenant Yuan rushed in, bringing in a cold bloody breath.
Prime Minister Li had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he forced his composure: "Back alley, how is it?" ”
Lieutenant Yuan bit his lip, his tiger eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lord Lin, Lord Zhang, Lord Ge, Lord Zhao and the two tall adults were all killed, and when I arrived, their heads were hung on the lintel......"
Speaking of this, Lieutenant Yuan couldn't hold back his grief anymore, lowered his head and choked up and couldn't speak.
Prime Minister Li Cheng's blood surged, his body shook, and Chu Zishan hurriedly supported him.
"Who the hell is it that he is so crazy to kill the important ministers of the court, this is really unprecedented and appalling."
The tragic death of several like-minded old friends made Prime Minister Li heartbroken, beating his chest and crying in tears.
Chu Zishan said: "I just caught a few live mouths, but they are dead soldiers, and I don't have much hope of asking anything from him."
Who do you think killed you and the ministers? ”
Prime Minister Li pondered for a long time and shook his head: "At the palace banquet half a month ago, a courtier suddenly proposed to the emperor to set up a prince, proposing to establish Concubine Rong as the queen and King Duan as the crown prince.
The old man immediately objected, bluntly saying that Concubine Rong was impetuous, bitter and mean, and not a mother's demeanor, and several old friends in the cabinet also agreed with the old man's words.
This assassination, there is no doubt, must have been committed by the king of that end. ”
When the words fell, he was extremely angry and slapped the book case.
Chu Zishan said: "You just offended King Duan, and you were assassinated, who wouldn't suspect King Duan, King Duan shouldn't be so stupid, right?"
I think someone deliberately framed Duanwang. ”
Prime Minister Li looked at her and nodded: "The emperor is close to the age of sixteen, but he has not established a prince for a long time, and he is also worried." In addition to King Duan, there are also King Xian and King Huainan, King Huainan is the son of a waste concubine, and he has little hope, so there is only King Xian......"
His eyes widened suddenly: "King Xian's mother, Concubine Xiao is a very scheming woman, didn't their mother and son design to frame King Duan for this assassination?" ”
Chu Zishan blinked his eyes: "The Prime Minister has forgotten one person." ”
"Who?"
"The Easy King."
"No way, he can't be."
Li Cheng shook his head like a wave drum, and said: "This free king is a sick son who will not die for a long time, and he is an idle prince with no real power, it can never be him." ”
Chu Zishan said: "Maybe, that's just his disguise to cover people's eyes, he is the only concubine of the emperor, back then, he should have inherited the unification, but his life was dying due to a serious illness, and he was ordered by the current emperor to inherit the unification, saying that he was sick, but he has not lived well these years, watching his throne being sat by others, doesn't he hate?" ”
"This ......" Prime Minister Li frowned and began to brush the few strands of beard again.
When it came to King Yao, Chu Zishan's cold eyes burst with terrifying killing intent.
The free king Baili Lingxi was the culprit who caused her Chu family to be beheaded, and this time, she let this sick prince who was good at hiding show his minions.
Lieutenant Yuan, who had been watching the two of them, wiped the tears on his face and said: "If it were me, I would only hate, I would pretend to be sick, and then secretly cultivate my own snobbery, today's assassination will make the court chaotic and the people panic, if it evolves into the emperor and the princes suspicious and hurt each other, this is definitely what the King of Freedom is happy to see." ”
Chu Zishan smiled and pointed at Lieutenant Yuan: "Your Excellency Lieutenant's analysis is too right. ”
"No matter who did this, the death of several loyal ministers will be a great loss and grief for my Great Xia."
Prime Minister Li said, stroking his chest and looking extremely painful.
Chu Zishan took out a needle bag from his waist bag, and a silver needle pierced Prime Minister Li's left hand on the tiger's mouth.
Prime Minister Li let out a long sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes.
Chu Zishan said softly: "You must be too tired on weekdays, pay more attention to rest, otherwise, the illness will come like a mountain, if something happens to you, it will be my biggest loss in Daxia." ”
Prime Minister Li nodded and said weakly: "Miss Chu still understands medical skills?" ”
"I know a little bit about medicine." Chu Zishan smiled bitterly.
Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sky was already white, and Chu Zishan thought of the masked man, Zu Long.
Why don't you have a memory of him?
He appears in the assassination of the Easy King, and he is her enemy.
