Chapter 46: There is a report of revenge
Tian Huo's wife Peng is not in good health, it is difficult to come out, seeing Hua Zhi's face, she was terrified, and hurriedly looked at Tian Huo, "Master, are we not here at the right time?" ”
Tian Huo patted the back of Peng's hand soothingly and looked at Hua Zhi, "But my father has something to discuss with my mother?" ”
Hua Zhi hurriedly nodded, "Young Master, Young Lady, please go back." ”
Tian Huo paused, didn't ask much, and helped Peng Shi turn around.
Peng didn't dare to say anything with doubts, and became more and more cautious.
At this moment, Tian Huo's personal guards hurriedly came to report, "Young Master, it's not good, the king has been assassinated, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard wants you to enter the palace immediately." ”
"What? Assassination of the king? Tian Huo's eyes widened and froze.
Peng's eyes were black, and he fell directly into Tian Huo's arms.
Xiyuan was all messed up for a while.
Tian Huo couldn't take care of the Peng family, so he could only let Hua Zhi take care of it, and he hurriedly left the house.
In less than an hour, the news of King Chen's assassination spread, and the Dragon City was under martial law, and the once prosperous and lively Fang Market no longer saw half of the wandering people.
The city patrol guards led people to search from house to house, and even the palace was not spared, and the movement was so big, but there was no rumor in the palace, and the people were panicked.
The royal mansion in Yingchunli has just been searched by the city guards.
Zhong Qiong and the Qingdai sisters looked at the pharmacy that was messed up into a pot of porridge, and they were so angry that smoke was rising above their heads, and Lian Rong was crying while cleaning up, "These are all the hard work of the master and the young lady!" How can they be so excessive! Could it be that the assassin could still hide in the medicine cabinet! ”
"I think they did it on purpose!" Zhong Qiong said coldly.
Qing Dai nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, the person in the lead seems to have something to do with the Gongsun family." ”
"This matter can't just be left at that!" Qingluan and Qingdai exchanged glances and ran out secretly.
Huang Ye pursed her lips and didn't say a word, even if she heard the movement behind her, she didn't say anything to stop it, even if Qingluan didn't do anything, she didn't plan to endure it anymore.
Gongsun Zizhao just opened the royal house, arrogant, shouting five and six to let people raid the other families in the Spring Festival, seeing that those people dare to be angry and dare not speak out, he is even more arrogant, scolding and scolding a lot, seeing that the people under his hands are all busy before beckoning the brothers to leave.
As soon as the officers and soldiers left, several families mourned together, and the spring was full of crying and grabbing the earth.
"Oh my God! I finally saved twenty taels of coffins, and they took them away! They're robbers, robbers! ”
"Daddy, Daddy, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! ”
Similar scenes are playing out in every house.
Qingluan stood at the head of the wall, his eyes were scarlet, and he turned silently and escaped into the darkness.
Gongsun Zizhao and that group of people tasted the sweetness in the spring, and repeated the old tricks in Xia Heli, where a wealthy businessman surnamed Li lived, and Gong Sun Zizhao aimed at Li's mansion.
The officers and soldiers knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door.
Gongsun Zizhao frowned, and commanded viciously: "Smash me!" Something happened, Lao Tzu bears it! ”
A group of people rushed up with swords and slashed at the gate of the Li Mansion, and it took a long time to crash open, and everyone rushed in, only to see that the brightly lit Li Mansion did not even have a figure, and there was a deathly silence all around.
Gongsun Tzu was suspicious in his heart, and immediately ordered his brothers to search room by room, and at this moment, the door that they had smashed open slammed shut suddenly, and there was a terrible howl from the Li Mansion.
As soon as Jun Yao came out of the palace, she received an urgent report and rushed to Xia Heli with a bunch of people.
In Cheng'an Palace.
Gongsun Rong knelt on the ground with a handful of snot and tears, "Your Majesty! You have to be the master of the old minister! Niangniang's injuries are unknown now, and the nephew of the old minister was ordered to arrest the assassin, but he died in vain! It's a pity that he is only weak, and he has not been married for more than a month, and he has not even left a single incense, woo woo."
"That's it! Lone has already sent the Praetorian Guards and the Punishment Division, with Jun Yao here, even if the assassin is arrogant, don't even think about escaping from Dragon City! King Chen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Gongsun Rong opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, assassins can avoid the Praetorian Guards, come and go freely, if there is either a spy in the palace or the other party's hands and eyes are all over the sky, looking at the entire Chen Kingdom, there is no more than one slap in the face who can have such skills, and one of them is in the city!" Your Majesty, you should have people surround each other's mansions immediately, lest any trouble arise! ”
King Chen put down his hand dissatisfiedly and stared at Gongsun Rong coldly, "Prime Minister, Lone knows who you are talking about, and I also know that you have a deep grudge with Old General Wei, but if you have no basis to guess, you will send people to surround the Wei Mansion, what is your intention?" ”
King Chen does rely on the Gongsun family, but this is not because he values the Gongsun family, but because he uses the Gongsun family as the existence of the Wei family, he is already suspicious by nature, and Gongsun Rong's words immediately caused him dissatisfaction.
Gongsun Rong's face turned pale, and he admitted his mistake in fear, "Your Majesty! It's the old man who is confused, but the minister is also the protector of the lord, now the assassin is still in the dark, any suspicious person must be guarded against, you want evidence to be easy to do, the assassin was not hit by an arrow in the leg, now send someone to visit the old general Wei in the Wei Mansion, if he is injured, it is ironclad evidence! If it is intact, everyone can rest assured. ”
Cai Yong stood silently beside King Chen, and when he heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, the lower officials think that what the Prime Minister said is extremely true, at this time, there is a lot of rumors, and it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, General Wei is highly respected and has retired for many years, if he is innocent, he really shouldn't bear the infamy of this suspicion, if there is really a problem, you can also take the opportunity to pull out the big trouble in your heart, and there is no loss for you." ”
King Chen looked at Cai Yong strangely, "You old horseman, when did you start to care about the affairs of the court?" ”
Cai Yong is the old man next to King Chen, although the official position is not high, but because he often accompanies the king, King Chen treats him a little more kindly, and speaks more casually, with the understanding of King Chen's team Cai Yong, this is a history idiot, except for writing history books, he doesn't care about other things at all, but today the sun is coming out of the west!
Cai Yong laughed twice, "Your Majesty, Weichen is also a little selfish. ”
King Chen's face sank, "Say!" ”
"Weichen, Weichen wants to go to Weifu with him and meet General Wei, many of the history books written by Weichen are stuck on General Wei's side, and the information received is hearsay, if you can verify it with him, it would be great!" Cai Yong looked obsessed.
King Chen's face was clear.
Gongsun Rong was almost so angry that he vomited blood, "Lord Cai! When is it now, you're still thinking about your broken book! Is the king's safety more important or your broken book? ”
Cai Yong looked innocent, "Of course, the safety of the king is important, but this does not conflict with Weichen going to see General Wei." ”
"You!" Gongsun Rong pointed at Cai Yong, so angry that his fingers trembled.
King Chen shouted impatiently, "Enough! Cai Yong, then you take someone to Weifu, you can say whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about it. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cai Yong happily gave King Chen a big gift and withdrew from Cheng'an Palace.
