Chapter 149: The Crane (1)
The assassin was not Xu Jing, but the prince of Chengyang.
The prince of Chengyang is nine out of twenty this year, and he likes the most beautiful woman in his life. When he left the palace, he went to the painting boat to drink flower wine, and took advantage of the wine to hug a beautiful singer to the bed, and before entering the alley, the singer groped out a sharp blade from under the pillow and stabbed it into the chest of the prince of Chengyang.
The prince of Chengyang let out an earth-shattering scream.
The soldiers guarding outside the painting boat changed color in unison and rushed into the painting boat with knives.
The bewitching beauties on the couch had committed suicide, and their master's chest was spurting blood, and his face was pale, only the air in and out of the air was gone.
The soldiers immediately carried their master to the nearest medical hall. The experienced old doctor, looking at the wound and feeling the pulse, sighed and shook his head. The soldiers put their weapons around the old doctor's neck and shouted, "Save the man!" If the son of the world has three long and two short, he will kill you first! ”
The unlucky doctor had to bite the bullet to heal the prince of Chengyang. However, the knife stabbed extremely deeply, injured all internal organs, and the blood did not stop.
When the soldiers galloped to the palace to send a letter to ask for the imperial doctor, the prince of Chengyang swallowed his breath in the post house.
This assassination case immediately caused a sensation in the capital.
The inside and outside of the medical hall were surrounded by water, and it was crowded with people watching the lively market. I don't know who exclaimed: "Murder!" ”
I saw that the doctor had been slashed in the neck by the angry soldiers, and his head fell to the ground with a clatter. It was a terrible scene. The onlookers and the crowd suddenly dispersed.
Not to mention that the soldiers killed the doctor, they also rushed back to the painting boat and killed the people on the painting boat.
This painting boat was chartered by the prince of Chengyang, and there were no other guests, and it was a lowly person like a singer and musician who died. More than a dozen corpses lay on their ground, blood soaked the boat, and the thick bloody smell of people almost wanted to gag.
Wu Anbo, who hurried to hear the news, looked at this scene, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Finished!
The prince of Chengyang was killed, and more than a dozen people were killed. This big case, he can't hide even if he wants to.
It's a shame to think about! Back then, he was greedy for comfort, and deliberately sought the position of commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses. This is a place where wealth and wealth gather, and there are few people and few things. Who would have thought that two big cases would happen one after another!
Wu Anbo wanted to cry without tears, and in the face of a bunch of red-eyed soldiers of the prince of Chengyang, he did not dare to slack off, and said with a cold face: "The prince of Chengyang was assassinated and killed, and such a big case must be reported to the emperor." Don't kill indiscriminately! Put down all your swords! ”
The leader of the pro-soldiers had red eyes and said sharply: "The son of the world is dead, and we will not live alone." If the court can't find the murderer, we'll find it ourselves! ”
This is to make a big fuss in the capital!
Thinking about it, as a pro-soldier, the master was assassinated and killed right under their noses, and their grief and indignation in their hearts can be imagined. What is the man who kills a boatload.
Wu Anbo had to lower his figure: "You kill people like this, I just want to investigate the case, and no one asks me." Don't you want to find out the real culprit and avenge the son? ”
The leader of the pro-soldiers said with red eyes: "On the same day, the prince of Beihai was assassinated, and the criminal department investigated for ten days, but the real culprit was not found. We avenge the Son of Heaven! ”
Wu Anbo: "......"
At the stalemate, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
Wu Anbo turned his head to look, and saw the prince of Xihe and the prince of Yingchuan coming together. When the two princes of the feudal kingdoms saw the miserable corpse of the prince of Chengyang, their faces turned pale.
After another moment, the prince of Pyeongchang, the prince of Hanyang, and the prince of Pengcheng also came.
Xu Jing came the latest.
By the time the boat was drawn, it was almost time.
The corpse of the prince of Chengyang was already cold. The eyes of several princes of the vassal princes were red, and they looked at Xu Jing together: "Now let's go into the palace together to see the emperor!" Ask the emperor to track down the real murderer! ”
"This gang of murderers is extremely arrogant. If you can't assassinate you, you will attack the prince of Chengyang instead. You and I, the princes of the vassal kings, are like pigs and dogs in the eyes of murderers. ”
"It's the prince of Chengyang who dies tonight, and maybe it's the rest of us who will die in a while."
"We must unite as one, otherwise, a mass of scattered sand will be broken by each other, and we don't know how we will die until we die."
"That's right! Let's go into the palace together! ”
Xu Jing's face was solemn, his brows twisted, and his eyes swept over the angry faces: "We will enter the palace together now, which is like forcing the palace." Have you ever thought about what the consequences will be? ”
Emperor Yongming had a righteous and bright reason to "protect" them all. Really isolated in the palace, it's no different from house arrest.
At that time, it will be like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Xu Jing doesn't have to say these words explicitly, everyone understands them.
All the sons were silent.
Only the prince of Xihe was furious: "Could it be that we can't wait for someone to assassinate us like this?" You don't dare to go, I'll go! ”
With that, he strode forward. Xu Jing coldly pulled out his legs and tripped over the prince of Xihe. The prince of Xihe fell heavily, and he was so angry that he scolded angrily. Before he could scold a word, he was knocked unconscious by a heavy blow.
"Let's go back to our respective homes first," Xu Jing picked up the shirt of the prince of Xihe with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "I'll leave the words here first." Whoever impulsively affects me, I can't spare him! ”
At this moment, Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and he looked at everyone. Like a treasure knife out of the sheath, the edge is exposed.
The prince of Yingchuan, who can speak well, was also choked, and only sighed after a while: "Okay, just listen to you, let's go back to the house first." ”
Xu Jing didn't say a word, and walked out first with the tall and strong prince of Xihe.
Wu Anbo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and accompanied the smiling face to send the princes of the vassal kings away. Turning his head and waving his hand: "Take these corpses away." ”
……
What?
Is the prince of Chengyang dead?
Xu Erwu hurriedly came to deliver the message, Zhao Xiyan suddenly lost a little sleep, and got up suddenly: "I'll go to Beihai Wangfu now." ”
"Girl, don't be impatient." Xu Erwu whispered quickly: "The prince ordered the little one to deliver the letter, just because he was afraid that the girl would leave the house impulsively when she heard the news. ”
"This gang of murderers is extremely vicious, and they dare to do anything."
"The prince specially instructed the girl to stay in the Zhao Mansion and not to go out recently."
Oh, yes!
Dare to assassinate Xu Jing, dare to kill the prince of Chengyang, and kidnap another Zhao Liu girl, why don't you dare?
A mouthful of indescribable stuffy breath was in the chest, and I couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
Zhao Xiyan bit his lip hard, took a few deep breaths, and tried his best to calm down: "What else did the prince explain?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Xiyan had calmed down, Xu Erwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and responded in a low voice: "The prince also said that the girl should not worry too much, he will bring enough people when he goes in and out." ”
Zhao Xiyan nodded.
