Chapter 370: Stirring up the situation
He quietly hid in the crowd of people who watched the excitement on the side of the road, but he was tall and burly, too conspicuous, and in just a quarter of an hour, three messengers came to check his identity.
Zhao Ying was overwhelmed.
But it's not a problem, this is not the Tang and Song dynasties, the commodity economy was developed, and the teahouses and restaurants on the roadside can be seen everywhere, and you can just find a place to sit down and watch the excitement.
But fortunately, after repeated checks several times, he saw that he was indeed "innocent", and no one cared about him anymore.
On the contrary, many big girls and little daughters-in-law will glance at them from time to time.
Zhao Ying could only pretend not to see it.
With a daughter, with his hands behind his back, he was ready to watch the excitement of "himself" entering the city.
…………
"Chen Wood (Song Wu) led his colleagues and elders in the county to welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson......"
Outside Changsha County, seeing the team of "Zhao Ying" slowly coming, the county guard Wood and the county lieutenant Song Wu hurriedly jumped off their horses and hurried to meet them.
However, to their surprise, they were greeted by a handsome and personable young man.
"There are all the gentlemen of Lao to greet you! In the lower champion general's mansion, Zhang Liang has seen all the kings. ”
Zhang Liang jumped off the horse and returned the salute meticulously.
Seeing Zhang Liang jumping off the horse and not letting go of the team, Wood, Song Wu and the others couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help but glance at each other, feeling a little unhappy in their hearts.
Is this a dismount, or is it a bad comer?
The county guard and county lieutenant of his own hall took the officials and elders of the city to greet him in person, and he had already done enough courtesy, but His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson didn't even show his face directly?
In the end, Wood, who was still the county guard, bowed his hand slightly to Zhang Liang and asked.
"Zhang Fucheng, I don't know where His Highness is now, can you allow the inferior people to go and see one or two first?"
This Zhang Liang, of course they have heard of it, after all, the three generations of this family have been in the Han Dynasty, and they used to shout every day that they would not be at odds with the tyrannical Qin, but when they turned around, they became the confidant of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun. The speed of change is jaw-dropping.
It's also very famous.
Zhang Liang didn't seem to hear the unhappiness in his mouth, and arched his hand with a humble expression.
"Wu Junshou, gentlemen, it's not that His Highness is arrogant and refuses to receive you, but His Highness has already entered the city now......"
Wood: ......
Song Wu: ......
The officials and local villagers behind him couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of jealousy in their eyes.
His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun has already entered the city unconsciously!
"Your Highness has made an agreement with the lower officials that at noon today, he will go to the county guard mansion and meet us......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Liang smiled apologetically and arched his hand.
"Your Highness has decreed, and I ask you to keep this matter secret for the time being......
After all, Zhang Liang represents the emperor's eldest grandson, and he has already said this, Wood, Song Wu and others, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, do not dare to show it on their faces, and immediately respond with a smile.
"Dare to disobey—"
After speaking, he turned around and waved his hand at everyone.
With the team, they automatically converged to Zhang Liang and his party, and Wood, Song Wu and others even grabbed the reins and walked side by side with Zhang Liang.
……
For the people of Changsha County, it is naturally rare to have such a thing as His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson entering the city.
Especially when looking at the county officials who are rarely seen on weekdays, they all looked respectful, and when the stars supported the carriage in the middle of the team, they couldn't help but shine.
They craned their necks and looked into the carriage.
At this time, all eyes were on the cone.
He was so nervous that his muscles tightened, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of losing the prestige of "His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun". The people outside didn't know that the car at this time was a fake, and the real emperor's eldest grandson was crowding in the crowd to watch the excitement like them.
Although it is quite far away and I can't really see it, I can still see that the eldest grandson of the emperor in the carriage is tall, with swallow jaws and tiger beards, horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, not angry and arrogant, and his appearance is so powerful that it is a mess.
Immediately, I felt that the trip was worthwhile, and His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun perfectly met his imagination about His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun in his heart.
After all, this is a fierce man who can break through the four countries in one day and fix the moon with three arrows!
Can you really be like those storytellers, more than eight feet tall, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, face like crown jade, graceful demeanor, treating people and things, like a spring breeze?
Phew-
It must be their selfish intentions, deliberately relying on the emperor's eldest grandson to look like a scholar for them!
Listening to the people around him, commenting on the appearance of "himself", and talking about things there, Zhao Ying couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth, crying and laughing, he never imagined that he was such an image in the eyes of the people.
Zhao Ying is more than two meters tall, standing in the crowd, like standing out from the crowd, directly half a body taller.
Zhang Liang, who was riding a horse and walking side by side with Wood and Song Wu and others, naturally still saw him, saw him there, looked at his team with interest, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and then quietly withdrew his gaze.
On the contrary, it was Wood and Song Wu who couldn't help but move in their hearts when they saw Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying's identity was faintly confirmed.
After all, not to mention this era, even in the later generations, there are not many people who can grow two meters away. How could it be such a coincidence, on the day that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun entered the field, a ...... appeared on the side of the road
However, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun was willing to play this trick of the white dragon fish suit, and they didn't dare to debunk it in public, the two of them glanced at each other, and then retracted their gaze quite tacitly.
As for the rest, I don't worry too much.
After all, they had already received the news of His Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun's southern tour, and even if there was really something, they had already dealt with it, where could they wait for him to find out?
With the flow of people, Zhao Ying had already taken Ah Nu and walked to the side of the arch bridge quietly.
When the road reaches the bridge, it narrows abruptly.
Zhang Liang, Wood, Song Wu and others could still walk side by side, but the team around His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun had to change the column and form a long line.
The carriage of "Zhao Ying" was finally exposed to everyone's sight!
At this moment, Zhao Ying couldn't help but move, and saw that under the bridge and hole, a figure wearing a brown short jacket and holding a crossbow suddenly flashed, and in an exclamation, the movement was calmly aimed at the carriage where "Zhao Ying" was.
"There are assassins, protect the emperor's eldest grandson!"
The team that greeted them probably didn't expect that someone would dare to assassinate the emperor's eldest grandson in the city, and there was a big chaos, but Zhao Ying brought three thousand guards, and the first time he took action, seeing that he couldn't turn the horse, he directly abandoned the war horse under him, and rushed towards the carriage where His Royal Highness the emperor was located.
And Cone Gu, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the exclamation from the crowd and instantly leaned towards the carriage.
Although Zhao Ying refused to drive the First Emperor's car, the First Emperor still asked Hei to keep an eye on him personally before he set off, and rebuilt his own carriage.
Inside the carriage, a thick copper plate is attached.
Even if you use a strong crossbow in the army, don't even think about shooting through this deck.
Looking at the swarming Qin army and the bows and arrows raised one after another, Jing Gongzi's eyes did not take his eyes off the slightest, looking at the "panicked" emperor grandson in the carriage, and calmly pulled the trigger in his hand.
This is a strengthened version of the crossbow specially customized by him from a master, fifty steps away, its potential energy can shoot through three layers of thick armor, and its power is comparable to that of a strong crossbow in the army.
He was confident that before he was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, he would shoot the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor.
"Although I die, but Daqin will also die, what a pity, what a pity!"
Then, before he was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, he watched as the crossbow arrows on which he had high hopes hit an iron plate, and after hitting the carriage where the emperor's eldest grandson was sitting, he simply fell neatly.
Jing Gongzi: ......
How is this possible!
However, before he could figure out this question, the whole person's consciousness had been swallowed up by the boundless darkness, and only a look of astonishment remained......
On the way into the city, His Royal Highness the Emperor was assassinated.
This is an extremely serious and egregious event.
Whether it is the county guard wood, the county lieutenant Song Wu, or the accompanying officials and village elders, all of them have changed their faces and sweat jackets.
If His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is assassinated and killed here, it will really be the sky falling.
For the rest of the matter, there was no need for Zhang Liang to speak, the county guard Wood and the county lieutenant Song Wu personally ordered that the four gates should be closed, the whole city would be under martial law, and they would go door to door to investigate the assassin accomplices one by one.
The first unlucky one is the school captain who is responsible for maintaining the law and order of this street today.
However, by the time the county lieutenant Song Wu arrived at the captain's house with his men and horses, the captain's family, more than ten people, had all died.
The garden is full of blood.
Song Wu's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
……
As soon as he entered the city, such a thing happened, and Wood could no longer care about the fact that the emperor's eldest grandson sneaked into the city first, because Zhang Liang directly held the accessories of the first emperor and took over all the affairs of the county strongly.
In the county, from Wood and Song Wu onwards, including the county Cheng, the lord Bo, the death history, and the priest's order, all the middle and upper-level officials were temporarily suspended from their official positions to cooperate with the investigation.
Changsha County, suddenly the wind was loud.
Those wealthy families couldn't help but secretly complain, and as for those who had secretly communicated with Jing Gongzi before, they couldn't help but be frightened one by one.
They didn't expect that Zhang Liang would be so strong, nor did they expect that the emperor's eldest grandson would be so afraid of death, so he would put such a thick layer of copper plates inside and outside the carriage......
However, what made them a little relieved was that Jing Gongzi died, and he died completely, he was directly killed by random arrows, and when the whole person was fished up, he had become like a hedgehog, not to mention his identity, even people couldn't see it too clearly.
"Your Highness, since you have already expected this, why don't you have people order the assassin to be captured alive, but instead shoot the assassin to death on the spot......"
Ren Chang, the middle doctor who came with him, looked at His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun with a somewhat puzzled expression,
Judging from the situation at that time, Zhao Ying had every chance to capture the assassin alive and then pull out his comrades, but to their surprise, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun actually had the assassin shot to death.
Even the shooting made it a little difficult to even identify the body, which directly blocked the clues of the follow-up investigation.
Zhao Ying glanced around, although these accompanying officials, although they did not say anything, there was a bit of recognition in their expressions.
couldn't help but smile and looked at Zhang Liang on the side.
"Zhang Fucheng, do you think so......
Zhang Liang saw that Zhao Ying had pointed to him, so he quickly avoided the table and got up, bowing down.
"Wei Chen thinks that this is exactly the cleverness of His Royal Highness......
All of them:......
So, is this the reason why this dog thief can become the confidant of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun?
It's shameless!
Zhao Ying heard this, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, showed a satisfied smile, and signaled.
"Let's talk about ......"
Zhang Liang turned around at this time, as if he didn't notice everyone's contemptuous gaze, and glanced around at everyone with a humble expression, and then said in a calm voice.
"What's the use of identifying us as Assassins? Capturing just one assassin alive is nothing more than catching a few more accomplices and venting a bad breath for His Highness......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Liang smiled.
"What Your Highness asks for is not a personal gain or loss? What His Highness asks is to calm the situation in Chu as soon as possible, solve the case of Changsha County, and complete His Majesty's entrustment! Killing an assassin is certainly a clue, but it has disturbed the situation here......"
Seeing everyone, with a thoughtful look on his face, Zhang Liang said lightly.
"Only in troubled waters can you touch the fish, you have already read the case file of the silk book in the fish, when you know the difficulty of this matter, according to the usual practice, it is almost impossible to investigate clearly, only when the situation is chaotic, we have a chance to ......"
Zhao Ying looked at Zhang Liang, who was talking eloquently, and couldn't help nodding slightly, with a look of praise in his eyes.
It's really a talent who tries his best to stay.
Seeing that he knew slightly, he suddenly understood his intentions from a small order of his own. I have to say that doing things with such people is easy.
"Good!"
Zhao Ying nodded at Zhang Liang with a smile, and then looked around at everyone.
"Zhang Fucheng is solely responsible for the investigation of the assassins, and everyone is at the disposal of Zhang Fucheng, and those who violate the order will be severely punished-"
"No!"
Everyone bowed down in unison to receive the order.
……
The county watchman's house.
From Wood and Song Wu onwards, all the officials who had been replaced with power stayed in their class rooms with trepidation, not knowing what kind of results they would incur.
"Without internal response, the assassin would never have had the opportunity to hide in the bridge and assassinate His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson......"
Speaking of this, Wood snorted coldly and looked around at everyone.
"I advise you, it's best not to have anything to do with this matter, otherwise, don't blame the official for being merciless......"
All of them don't speak.
At this time, say more and make more mistakes, less words and fewer mistakes, and before His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun has not made a decision, it is best for these people to keep silent.
"Alas-even if this matter has nothing to do with us, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape the involvement this time, and I don't know how His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun will deal with us......"
I don't know who it was in the crowd, and suddenly sighed faintly.
This sentence immediately resonated with everyone.
I was getting more and more worried.
At this moment, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson has summoned you to discuss ...... matter."
Everyone's hearts suddenly lifted.
Finally, is it going to come to fruition?
