Chapter 44: Assassination

The two reported the situation monitored by the prefect in the past few days to Xiao Xinrong, although they did not find any clues related to food, but they found that there was a secret compartment on Wang Mao's mansion, which contained a large amount of money, and it was suspected that it was the people's fat and ointment that this guy had looted during his tenure.

After listening to Chen Hu and Zhao Wei, Xiao Xinrong pondered for a moment and said: "Since the prefect's money is not clear, then ask him to come over and talk about it, and by the way, invite all the people in the mansion who are related to this matter to come to the hall." ”

Chen Hu and Zhao Wei glanced at each other after hearing this, and said in their hearts: The movement of the prince is not small.

After receiving the order, Chen Hu and Zhao Wei led a group of palace guards to surround the prefect's mansion and the prefect's office.

The official at the door was startled, and he wanted to hand a smiling face and ask what was going on, but before the person could come to him, the guard on the opposite side pulled out the long knife he was wearing, and the strong smell of blood rushed into his nose.

The law of Xuanhua State was the dynasty, and the prince allowed a thousand private soldiers, but these private soldiers in Xiao Xinrong's hands were singled out to be the elite of one and ten, and they had fought bloody battles on the battlefield together, so they had a sense of slaughter.

When the official saw this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated and ran towards the house, shouting as he ran: "Master, something has happened to the master......

Wang Mao was drinking tea and listening to a little song in the backyard, and when he heard the official finish speaking, he was so frightened that he almost choked on a mouthful of water, stood up with a breath, raised his voice and asked again: "What are you talking about?"

"My lord, the prince, the guards around the prince surrounded our palace......" The official stammered, and Wang Mao walked out.

When I arrived at the gate, I saw Wang Wei and the others and asked, "I don't know what you mean by this?"

Zhang Hu stepped forward and replied: "I am on the order of the prince, and I have come to invite the prefect and the people in the palace to go to the post station to talk about it." ”

"What do you mean by this, what do you mean by the prince......? Hey...... "Before Wang Mao finished speaking, he was dragged onto the horse by Chen Hu.

Wang Mao arrived at the post station and was directly locked in an empty room, he never saw Xiao Xinrong's face, and after a while, he was really hungry, so he had to bang on the door and ask, "May I ask when the prince will summon the next official?"

An impatient voice passed through the doorway and said coldly, "Wait!"

Wang Mao was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask,

I thought to myself: Yesterday was fine, but today the prince can send someone to lock him up, I don't know what is going on? Could it be that he found out that he had taken bribes?

Thinking of this, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Wang Mao's fat forehead, and he thought about it again, he hid the silver money so secretly, and he didn't even know his beloved concubine, how could the prince know it with great powers.

Thinking of this, my heart was at ease, and I shrank quietly at the head of the bed and waited.

Chen Hu gathered all the people in the palace into the courtyard, searched everywhere, found two boxes of silver and a box of jewelry, sealed these stolen goods, and took a few people from the palace back to the post station.

Chen Hu and Zhao Wei attracted countless onlookers from such a big movement in this day, but it was a pity that everyone was secretly observing, and no one dared to come forward to ask, and even began to secretly transfer their finances.

Chen Mingxuan couldn't sit still after hearing the news, and went around in a circle in the house, he didn't expect that Wang Wucai would send a letter today, and before he could come up with a countermeasure, Xiao Xinrong could start to take action.

Chen Mingxuan is not like Wang Mao's magistrates, who were deceived by Xiao Xinrong's disguise, and the rumors circulating in the army are not endless.

Although Xiao Xinrong is only eighteen years old this year, he is already on the battlefield for the third time, he is strict in governing the army and has tough hands, and his subordinate troops are invincible and invincible on the battlefield.

After Chen Mingxuan fooled away the last Qincha, this time the imperial court directly sent Prince Alcohol over, and after receiving the news, he played a twelve-point spirit to deal with it, but he didn't expect to underestimate the opponent.

After plating a few laps in the house, the only way to do this is to abandon the pawn to protect the handsome, and only by killing Wang Wu will he not expose himself, and Chen Mingxuan, who is determined to pay attention, took a map and studied it carefully.

At noon on the second day, Zhao Wei and Chen ** were on the horse, and a few people selected from the government office walked in the middle.

According to the prince's calculations, almost all the people in the government were imprisoned in the post station, and there will always be people panicking under such a toss, and now they can close the net just by waiting for this person to jump out by himself.

Halfway through, one of the guards behind the break heard the wind, raised his head to the roof and looked, and a sharp arrow shot straight down.

The sun was shining brightly, and the man could barely open his eyes, only to see a vague figure leaping from the roof.

With the sound of the wind, a person on the ground fell in response, Chen Hu jumped on the roof with a loud cry and chased after the figure.

Zhao Wei hurriedly dismounted to check, it was Wang Mao's staff member Wang Wu who was shot, at this moment he was hit by an arrow in the chest, and the overbearing manpower of the archer had shot through the person, Zhao Wei shook Wang Wu and asked, "Do you know the person who killed you?"

The blood in Wang Wu's mouth gushed outward, and a few vague syllables were uttered intermittently, and Zhao Wei attached his ears and only listened: "Account book...... White"

"Do you want to say that you have an account book in your hand?

Station, in Xiao Xinrong's room.

After the two of them reported what happened today, they quietly waited for the prince to give another order.

Xiao Xinrong sneered: "Things are getting more and more interesting, hmph, since the person has come out, let him go and have no return." ”

"It's all to blame on the incompetence of his subordinates, and he lost people. Chen Hu knelt on one knee and said with a look of shame on his face.

Xiao Xinrong glanced at Chen Hu's injured arm and said, "Get up, you can't be underestimated if you can hurt your opponent, you have to be more careful in your actions." ”

One asked, "What can be found by the arrows?"

Zhao Wei said: "It's just an ordinary arrow, without any marking. ”

Xiao Xinrong said again: "Well, it seems that this person is prepared, and the two of you will thoroughly investigate Wang Wu's relationship on weekdays and his recent movements." ”

"Yes. The two of them clenched their fists and took their lives.

Chen Mingxuan covered his chest and ran to the woods near the barracks to rest for a while, feeling lucky, fortunately the man was not familiar with this terrain, otherwise he would not be able to escape.

Endured the pain and took off the black power suit on his body, and saw that his chest was already red and swollen, and he pressed it, fortunately, the ribs were not broken, but it was an internal injury, and it should be fine after a period of rest.

couldn't help but secretly say that this person's fist is really domineering. After resting, he found the hidden armor and changed it, and after tidying up, he got up and went back to the barracks.

Wang Wu has never married a wife, and it is simple to live in the palace on weekdays, Chen Hu and Zhao Wei have followed Wang Wu's ancestral hometown of Huiping County to check, and they have really gained something.
