Chapter 232: The Assassination Case

When he arrived at Cheng Situ's mansion, Cheng Situ waited outside the mansion gate early in the morning to greet him, with a respectful attitude, and he didn't know whether to show it to others or to be free.

Lu Mingfei didn't bother to think too much, so he simply regarded himself as a door-to-door doctor, and followed Cheng Situ all the way to a secluded study in the mansion.

After entering the room, Cheng Situ retreated, bowed to Lu Mingfei again, and said straight to the point: "Presumably Lu Gongzi is still wondering why the old man can recognize Lu Gongzi's identity, but in fact, the reason is simple, just because Ji Tiancheng is the old man's best friend. ”

After he said this, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized, and he also had a direction in his heart.

"Don't hide it from the two, in addition to this Cheng Situ, the old man has another identity, that is, the old minister of South Vietnam. After the Nanyue country was broken, because he had some personal relations with Yin Changfeng Hou Ye, under the persuasion and help of Hou Ye, he came to Dajin as an official again, and he was ashamed to say that although he had lost his life and official position, he also carried the name of a traitor, more than 20 years have passed, but there is no moment of peace of mind, as for how Lu Gongzi views the old man, he is all respectful, and this time he invited Lu Gongzi not for these, but for other things to discuss. ”

Cheng Situ showed his other identity, but he didn't plan to explain anything too much, for Lu Mingfei, he should have been born when the two countries were at war, and he didn't know who his parents were, let alone whether he was a Jin or a South Vietnamese, these things were a little distant to him, and there was less of a concept of family and country.

Jia Yuanzhu, who was on the side, bowed to Cheng Situ and said: "Xiaodao has heard that after the Great Jin Dynasty unified Zhongzhou, the prefectures, counties and towns of South Vietnam still follow the old jurisdiction system, and even still retain a lot of the original official system, which has not caused too much turmoil, and it is an indisputable fact that the South Vietnamese country is broken, but the people of South Vietnam have not suffered from displacement after the death of the country, and the entire South Vietnam can quickly return to stability and order, which is all due to Cheng Situ's credit." ”

Hearing Jia Yuanzhu say this, Cheng Situ's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, sighed, and said with a little relief: "Back then, the old man in Nanyue was in charge of the second household department, and it was precisely because of what this gentleman said that under the persuasion of Yin Changfeng Marshal, he took refuge in the Great Jin. ”

A few simple words of dialogue gave Lu Mingfei a new understanding of this Cheng Situ, and Cheng Situ at this time was completely different from when they met yesterday, less sleek and spicy before, but showed a little sincerity.

"Lu Gongzi entered the capital this time, it should be for the affairs of Her Royal Highness the princess, right?"

Cheng Situ stopped going around in circles and immediately brought the topic to the main topic.

Lu Mingfei nodded solemnly, also without any reservations, and said very humbly: "I heard that Miss Yu is through Lord Cheng and the eldest prince

acquaintance, and inexplicably became a princess, I don't know what the reason is, and I hope the adults will tell me directly. ”

Cheng Situ nodded first, and his somewhat old face showed a look of reminiscence, and said slowly: "These things still have to start from earlier, Lu Gongzi has heard that there was an assassination case that shook the capital four years ago. ”

Lu Mingfei was at a loss, four years ago, he was still nested in the hut in Feng'an City, working hard for his daily meals, how could he care about these things.

But Jia Yuanshu didn't seem to be a stranger to this matter, and said: "Master Cheng said about the assassination case, Xiaodao has heard a little, I heard that the assassin is a woman, dressed in black, with a wonderful figure, and that time almost assassinated the current emperor on the spot, so the whole world was shocked. ”

"Dressed in black, with a wonderful body?"

Lu Mingfei echoed in a low voice, and said suspiciously: "How can this look similar to Miss Yu?"

Cheng Situ said: "This matter was closed later, and I didn't hear whether the assassin was captured or killed, it seems that the news was deliberately blocked, but what Lu Gongzi said was right, but from the rumors, the assassin's appearance and characteristics are indeed very similar to Her Royal Highness the princess, coupled with the identity of the princess of Nanyue, it is reasonable to enter the palace to assassinate her." ”

Lu Mingfei thought to himself for a while, calculated the time, and became confused again.

"No, it's possible that the defenses of this palace are all muddy, Miss Yu's cultivation four years ago has not yet broken through the agility, and it should still be difficult for her to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor with her ability at that time. ”

Lu Mingfei first met Yu Yingxue in Feng'an City three years ago, and also witnessed Yu Yingxue's assassination of Yin Zhelu, although there was no specific understanding of her cultivation at that time, but time has passed, Lu Mingfei is no longer the market boy of the year, plus when Yu Yingxue broke through the realm of agility through the hidden butterfly technique, he personally experienced all the processes, so he still has a considerable understanding of Yu Yingxue's strength at the beginning and now, with Yu Yingxue's strength four years ago, it is indeed extremely difficult to enter the palace to assassinate.

Cheng Situ nodded slowly and said: " Lu Gongzi is right, I heard that a year ago, the princess entered Bihu Villa to assassinate Ji Tianzeshang experienced a lot of danger, and thanks to the concerted efforts of Lu Gongzi and others, this turned the danger into a disaster, the huge palace is by no means comparable to Bihu Villa, as far as I know, there is an extremely powerful person in the palace, although the old man does not know how to cultivate, but he can also faintly judge, even if Mr. Fu Caiyan comes to the palace in person, it may not be so easy to assassinate calmly, not to mention that the princess was only twenty four years ago, and it is almost impossible to assassinate him, the two of you don't have to guess, I asked the princess herself afterwards, and she didn't know about it。 ”

This time, Lu Mingfei was even more confused.

"Since it's not Miss Yu, who is this assassin, and what does this matter have to do with Miss Yu?"

Facing Lu Mingfei's questioning, Cheng Situ continued: "Don't worry, Lu Gongzi, you listen to me continue, half a year after the assassination, it is rumored that Master Fu Caiyan has been to the capital, but this time is also the last time Master Fu Caiyan has appeared in recent years. ”

Lu Mingfei seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but look at Jia Yuan, the other party had already come to a conclusion.

"It seems that the so-called assassination before should be a conspiracy against Fu Caiyan, the assassination is fake, and the real purpose is to lure Fu Caiyan to appear. ”

Cheng Situ nodded and said, "That's right, the reason why I didn't say it before was because I wanted to see the opinions of the two, so it seems that the two of them are really not much different from what I speculated." ”

"Since that time, there has been no news from Master Fu Caiyan, until a year ago, the princess came to the capital, through Ji Tiancheng's recommendation, she came to my mansion, this time the princess came, precisely because the last time Master Fu Caiyan appeared in this capital. ”

"After the princess arrived, the old man was sincerely frightened and very pleased, and immediately placed her properly in my mansion, without revealing any news, and tried his best to cooperate with the princess to investigate the news of Master Fu Caiyan, but a few months passed, but nothing was found, until the winter suddenly gave birth to ice and snow butterflies in the palace powder plum in the palace of the great prince. ”

Lu Mingfei had heard about this matter at Song Yiyi's place, and at that time, the two vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with Yu Yingxue, but they didn't expect Cheng Situ to mention it again.

Cheng Situ continued: "This matter soon caused a sensation in the capital, all kinds of opinions are different, the old man is lonely and unheard, originally I only thought that the eldest prince was grandstanding deliberately, at first I didn't care too much, but I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to be shocked after learning about this, claiming that this ice and snow butterfly must have a close relationship with Master Fu Caiyan, and insisted on sneaking into the palace to investigate. ”

"The palace is not better than other places, there are many crises inside, and the slightest carelessness is a place of no return, and the princess is a descendant of South Vietnam, with a special identity, the old man is naturally not worried that she sneaked into the palace to investigate, but the princess insisted, for this matter, the old man worked hard, and persuaded the princess to stay in the house temporarily. ”

"Just in time for these days, the prince has the heart to win me over, and the usual contact is relatively close, and the princess made a plan after learning about it, and took the opportunity of the eldest prince to come to the palace to discuss matters, and met each other by chance, and sure enough, the prince fell in love with the princess at first sight, which led to the matter of accepting the princess later. ”

When Lu Mingfei heard this, his face couldn't help but feel a little angry, and he said with a little reproach: "You can rest assured that she will be the imperial concubine?"

Cheng Situ smiled bitterly and said: "Of course the old man is not at ease, I think that Lu Gongzi should know the princess's temper, if Lu Gongzi is replaced, is there any certainty that he can stop Her Royal Highness the princess? ”
