Chapter 161: King Qi is assassinated

Yu Yourong fell asleep.

Xiao Fan was still holding her breath, but she was talking, looking for an opportunity to ask Sun Tong or something like that.

Then I slept beautifully.

You actually slept!

Don't you notice I'm angry?

Xiao Fan suddenly understood that when some women were angry, their husbands didn't find out, what an irritating thing.

To be honest, Xiao Fan is not a love brain.

It's just that they have been together for a long time, and Xiao Fan has feelings for Yu Yourong, and has some feelings that can be called love.

And Yu Yourong did not have this kind of feeling, which was very annoying to Xiao Fan.

Is it that I'm not handsome enough, or am I not good enough for you, sir?

Early the next morning, Xiao Fan got up and looked in the mirror.

found that he was still so handsome, and suddenly felt that it was not his own problem, but that this woman did not understand feelings.

However, thinking that it was less than two months since the two realized that they had become married, Xiao Fan was relieved.

It may take a little time.

Because of his sulking, Xiao Fan fell asleep in the middle of the night, and when he looked in the mirror, he found that there was no one on the bed.

"Where's Madame?"

After putting on his clothes, Xiao Fan went out and asked.

Qiu Die skillfully brought the washing water and said with a smile: "Madame, early in the morning, followed Dr. Sun to the clinic. ”

"Oh."

"Wait?"

Xiao Fan suddenly chuckled in his heart.

This stupid girl won't really ask other people's Sun Tong girls if they would like to be concubines, right?

it, will you be beaten?

Xiao Fan suddenly had a bit of a bad taste.

So, he didn't even bother to eat the prepared breakfast, so he rode out of the city on his own.

If you don't bring Jiang Xing, you don't have to worry about security.

Now in Baishui Town, in addition to the three secret guards who originally protected Xiao Fan, because of the arrival of King Qi, more secret guards are wandering here.

Not to mention the danger, but anyone who is a potentially dangerous element will be taken down and carefully examined for a period of time before being let go.

The king of Qi is the prince of the interior, and the emperor must be concerned about his safety.

With the arrival of King Qi, the security of Baishui Town is also better, and now he dares to sleep without closing.

"Xiao Gongzi!"

was about to go to the city gate, but Xiao Fan bumped into Zheng Lun head-on.

Zheng Lun also rode a horse, and he was the horse of the Yamen, so he naturally had the power to use it as a head catcher.

"What?" Xiao Fan didn't walk fast, so he stopped with a gentle reining in his horse.

After Zheng Lun stopped, he took the reins of the horse on the horse's back, and arched his hand: "Lin County has an order." ”

"Didn't you just eat yesterday, what's the matter?" Xiao Fan really wanted to see how Yu Yourong looked deflated, and his mind was not on Zheng Lun's side.

Zheng Lun said: "It's His Royal Highness the King of Qi who has an accident." ”

"What?"

Xiao Fan was immediately alert: "What's wrong?" ”

"Assassinated ......"

……

On the way to Yamen, Xiao Fan was very nervous.

Lao Tzu finally hit the right one, and he got on the future prince, thinking that he could catch something.

Unexpectedly, this King of Qi was also full of disasters.

Just arrived in Whitewater, and encountered an assassination?

"Your Highness!"

At the gate of the county yamen, before the horse stopped, Xiao Fan turned over and jumped down and rushed into the yamen.

The soldiers who caught Kuai and King Qi all knew Xiao Fan, so naturally no one stopped them.

rushed to the back hall, Xiao Fan saw corpses all over the ground, and Fei Ji with an ugly face.

and, standing aside, trembling Lin Xi.

Seeing Xiao Fan coming, King Qi's face softened slightly, Fei Ji glared at Lin Xi, and Lin Xi was amnesty.

Savior!

"Brother Xiao!" Lin Xi hurriedly walked over and took Xiao Fan's hand with an eager expression.

but in the dark, he made eyes.

My brother is in trouble, my brother saves me!

Xiao Fan threw away a wink - don't worry, brother.

"Your Highness!"

In front of everyone, Xiao Fan bowed first, and then looked at Fei Ji: "Fei Changshi, what's going on?" ”

Fei Ji stood up and arched his hand: "Young Master Xiao, these assassins, there are the officials of the post house, there are also the fast arresters of the yamen, and there is even a Jiangyang thief who is being hunted down by the Criminal Department. ”

"Before dawn, they suddenly broke into the post house and assassinated His Highness."

Fei Ji said coldly: "The soldiers of the Qi Palace, who were guarding, were tired at that time, and they were careless, and a few people were killed. ”

"Fortunately, I and a few secret guards will protect His Highness closely, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Only then did Xiao Fan notice that some of the corpses covered with white cloth were wearing the armor of the soldiers of the Qi Palace.

The rest of the men, revealing parts of white cloth, indicate that they were Assassins wearing night clothes.

"The post house officials, the yamen catch fast, and the Jiangyang thieves?"

Xiao Fan glanced at Lin Xi slightly.

Dude, if this has nothing to do with you, it's really hard to be convinced.

If you want to start in the post house, it is naturally easy for people inside, you can directly know King Qi's room, and you can rush in directly without going through the layers of guards outside.

This is something that can only be done by real thieves.

Obviously, these are all thugs, and they are certainly not messengers.

And Xiao Fan didn't need to ask Fei Ji, he also knew that he was suspicious of Lin Xi, because Lin Xi was indeed very suspicious.

"Has Your Highness ever been injured?" Xiao Fan cared for a moment.

King Qi shook his head and sighed, "I haven't provoked anyone, Brother Xiao, why did they kill me?" ”

Fei Ji wanted to speak and stopped.

My Highness, do you need to ask this?

"Of course, it's because His Royal Highness is about to become the prince, and some people don't want to see this scene, so they have to strike first." Xiao Fan calmly analyzed.

Fei Ji nodded in agreement.

"Prince?"

King Qi: "I'm the prince, there's nothing wrong with it, who wants to kill me?" ”

Xiao Fan: "......"

Fei Ji: "......"

Lin Xi didn't dare to have any expression.

To some extent, King Qi said it right.

He is righteous and kind, and he is humble and acceptable, so he is naturally a good candidate for a prince.

Choosing him is naturally good.

But it's not friendly to other candidates.

How can we use the perspective of the common people to look at the matter of seizing the heir and competing for the crown.

How could those princes empathize with the position of the common people.

Everyone has to fight for themselves.

"Actually...... King Lu is very suspicious. Fei Ji said again.

Xiao Fan: "Even if there is no His Royal Highness King Qi, it is impossible for King Lu to ascend to the throne, Your Majesty would rather choose a forgivable sin from among the other princes who are in prison, rather than choose King Lu." ”

"Of course, maybe King Lu is doing things for someone else."

"Why isn't King Jing on your suspicion list?" Xiao Fan asked Fei Ji.

King Qi said:

"Brother Jing Wang won't do this, whoever he wants to kill, he will usually rush over and kill him directly."

"But this is a battle for succession." Xiao Fan shook his head.

This is not enough to exonerate King Jing.

Of course, everything is just suspicion.

And the most important thing at the moment is Lin Xi, who has always given Xiao Fan a look.

Could he have something to do with it?

Xiao Fan only needs to think about it to know that it is impossible.

"Fei Changshi, are you suspicious of Lord Lin?"

When Lin Xi heard that Xiao Fan finally asked about himself, he immediately glanced at him gratefully.

King Qi didn't say anything, Fei Ji is his long history and also a staff member, and the things that use his brain are generally done by Fei Ji.

Fei Ji said: "In the jurisdiction of Lord Lin, if such a thing occurs, Lin County Ling is naturally to blame!" ”

Lin Xi hurriedly confessed: "The lower officials are guilty, and the lower officials are negligent, and they let such thieves get mixed into the post house and the county government!" ”

Cold sweat slipped down Lin Xi's head.

This matter, once known by the emperor, he Lin Xi will at least lose his office.

Because of negligence, he almost killed the future prince, and the emperor will never easily spare this back-off.

Xiao Fan said: "It shouldn't be Lin County's order." ”

"Thank you Xiao Gongzi for speaking up!" Lin Xi didn't dare to call Xiao Fan his elder brother in front of King Qi anymore, he had already been glared at by Fei Ji.

King Qi and Xiao Fan are brothers.

Could it be that you, Lin Xi, are still qualified to be brothers with King Qi?

"Why not?" King Qi asked.

Fei Ji frowned, in fact, he also knew that Lin Xi was unlikely to be involved, but this kind of thing always had to find someone to blame.

Lin Xi is the most suitable candidate.

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "If Lin County's order did it, he would naturally not send the officials of the post house to catch the yamen." ”

"He will only send Jiang Yang thieves."

"Because once His Royal Highness is killed because of this and is killed by such a person, the Nalin County Order will not escape the responsibility no matter what."

If Lin Xi did it, he might not let his subordinates do it, and he must have borrowed a knife to kill people.

Otherwise, the emperor is going to liquidate, knowing that the king of Qi died in the hands of the people of the county government, does Lin Xi still want to live?

At that time, no matter whether Lin Xi knows the inside story or not, his head will definitely be lost.

The emperor wants to be angry, but also to be powerful, and Lin Xi is the most suitable person at that time.

"That's right." King Qi nodded slightly, his eyes skimmed over Lin Xi, and he didn't look at him carefully.
