Kong Xi was dumbfounded. He had never thought of such an inside story.

He said: "I understand!"

Ming Chongjun poured tea and said calmly: "What do you understand?"

Kong Xi's expression was slumped, with helplessness and regret in his eyes, which was more strange, and his voice was solemn and authentic: "The assassin was the wife of General Zhenguo. This matter has nothing to do with General Zhenguo..."

At this point, he couldn't go on.

There is an inside story, but who will check it out? Everyone will try to figure out the Sacred Heart.

At that time, the general who ruled the country had numerous military exploits, a prominent family background, and no title. More importantly, he had such high achievements that his prestige in Eastern Xia was even greater than that of the emperor...

What's more, the deep love between him and his wife is a well-known story in the entire Eastern Xia. Even if someone raises doubts and says that his wife did it intentionally, no one will believe it.

They even believe that there is a hidden danger and should be eradicated as soon as possible!

In this case, who will die if he doesn't die?

Kong Xi drank several cups in a row, and he drank a pot of fragrant tea as if it were ordinary tea. After drinking it, he said: "Old Fox Ming, your girl is not good! What kind of restaurant are you opening? The food is served so slowly, the guests

They are all hungry."

Ming Chongjun glanced at him: "Kong Huzi, be careful! Ming doesn't have a daughter!"

"Bah!" Kong Xi almost jumped up, "I think you are the most ignorant fool in the world! That's right, you are an insidious, cunning, despicable, shameless, incompetent and dirty old scumbag.

, I really don’t deserve such a good daughter!”

Ming Chongjun was furious: "Kong Huzi, don't talk nonsense, don't you know that trouble comes from your mouth?"

Kong Xi curled his lips and snorted: "We have already talked about what happened just now, and now we are talking about Miss Ming. Why did the trouble come out of your mouth? Look at how cautious you are! Oh, it's really boring!"

After a while, the food and wine arrived.

Kong Xi looked at the fragrant dishes with a comfortable smile on his face. He picked up the dishes with his chopsticks and said: "Old fox Ming, I'm going to take advantage of you today. Old Kong, I can finally let go and eat as much as I can."

!”

Ming Chongjun said: "Your salary is not low, how can you make yourself so poor?"

"My salary is not low, but the emperor has deducted it until September of the year after next year. I am completely sitting on my salary!"

Ming Chongjun: "..."

He said: "You are almost out of food, so you don't know how to stop?" You still beat people in the court, and your salary will be deducted every time you hit them. You just don't have a long memory!

Kong Xi ate the meat and said with a smile in his busy schedule: "You don't understand this. Those people were talking loudly. When I heard that I was dissatisfied, I punched down and immediately became quiet. They bullied me but I couldn't scold them. I

Just bully him into defeating me!"

Ming Chongjun: "..."

He shouldn't talk about this topic. Some people will never change their temper no matter how poor they are.

Probably because he was a soft-spoken cannibal, Kong Xi stopped trying to squeeze him when he was eating, and he stopped calling him Ming Lao Fox.

But halfway through eating, I heard what seemed like a noise outside.

They are on the third floor, and the sound insulation effect is pretty good. The sound can be transmitted to the third floor, but you can imagine how loud it is.

Ming Chongjun stood up and opened the window.

Kong Xi also squeezed past.

The street under the window was already in chaos, and someone could faintly hear someone shouting: "Stop, the patrol guards will catch the thief, and everyone else should stay away!"

Kong Xi wiped his mouth full of oil and hummed: "What is Jiang Mao doing? Arresting one person can lead to such a big battle!"

Ming Chongjun looked at the chaos downstairs without making a sound, his eyebrows slightly condensed, thoughtful.

Kong Xi strode back to continue cooking. He had to finish such a table of delicious food alone, otherwise, thank you!

The patrolling city guards blocked him from all sides, and the man being chased finally showed up. He was covered in blood and had a knife in his hand. Wherever he passed, passers-by were screaming and running away.

The patrolling guards were well-trained, and he had no way to escape. As soon as he turned around, he went into Mingyang Tower.

Ming Chongjun's face darkened slightly, he walked to the door, opened it and said: "Yuan Song, Yuan Zhu, go to the first floor to help catch the thief!"

As the prime minister of a country, he naturally had someone to protect him. Probably only Kong Xi, a very poor man, did not have a bodyguard to protect him.

Of course, Kong Xi was a military commander, and under normal circumstances, he could protect himself.

Immediately two people dressed as servants responded and went to the first floor.

Kong Xi raised his head, looked at the two men walking downstairs, and curled his lips. He knew that the old fox really cherished his life. No wonder there were four servants following him behind the carriage. Others looked like they were showing off, but they turned out to be the ones protecting him.

However, although Old Fox Ming is a bit cunning and treacherous, and usually looks down on others and loves to quarrel with others, he has no major problems. With his status, it is normal for him to have a few guards around him.

Kong Xi rolled his eyes and said: "Old fox of the Ming Dynasty, today the court is discussing the establishment of a prince again. Who do you think will be the prince?"

Ming Chongjun wanted to say that no one could be, but he glanced at Kong Xi again, why are you telling this rough man this?

He said calmly: "That is the emperor's business, don't make random guesses!"

"It's just gossip in private!" Kong Xi said: "You are just too boring."

"Am I familiar with you?" Ming Chongjun glanced at him.

The thief had already entered Mingyang Tower. Even if he got to the window, he couldn't see anything, so after giving orders, he sat back, picked up the pot and poured tea.

Kong Xi handed over the wine pot in his hand: "What's good about tea? There's wine here!"

Ming Chongjun didn't answer and ignored him.

Kong Xi didn't feel embarrassed at all, and continued nagging: "Old Ming, what do you think the emperor thinks? If he doesn't establish a prince, there will be chaos in the court!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and said: "You are the prime minister, and it is within your scope of responsibility to urge the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible. If you don't do anything like this, is it a waste of time? Lao Ming, you can't do it!"

Ming Chongjun almost laughed angrily and said coldly: "Are you here to eat, or do you want to discuss government affairs?"

Kong Xi's expression changed, he stood up suddenly, raised his hand, and overturned the table!

Ming Chongjun was caught off guard by the crashing sound, and he didn't expect that Kong Xi would do this. He took a few steps back in embarrassment. Kong Huzi was getting more and more angry. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the window swishing.

Three people came in. They were all dressed in black and had knives in their hands. Three daggers were nailed to the table that Kong Xi had just overturned.

Ming Chongjun understood that someone wanted to kill them.

Combined with the man who was chased by city guards on the street and ran into Mingyang Tower, his eyes crinkled slightly.

If it weren't for Mingyang Tower, he wouldn't have asked Yuan Song and Yuan Zhu to help.

He didn't recognize Ming Qinxue, but since he knew Ming Qinxue's deep meaning, how could he really not care about the relationship between father and daughter? Mingyang Tower is Ming Qinxue's property, and he knew early on that Mingyang Tower was in trouble

, of course he will send someone to deal with it.

However, after his people were sent out, someone immediately came to deal with him.

Are these two groups together?

One deliberately rushed into the building and led him to move the guards around him. The other people rushed to the third floor from different directions to kill him? Or to kill them?

There, Kong Xi fought one against three. Ming Chongjun did not know martial arts and knew that he could not cause trouble. He was good at calculations. Seeing that Kong Xi had deliberately circled a safe place, he obediently went there.

He had some bad premonitions in his heart.

During this period, there were many cases where officials in the imperial court were injured, fell ill, were unable to perform duties due to various reasons, or even died.

Although they are all officials of the seventh or eighth grade or even lower grades, they are all in the real power department. Once something happens to them, they can only be replaced or left vacant. The new ones who take over cannot be as skilled as their predecessors as quickly as their predecessors, and the vacant positions

Not to mention.

Ming Chongjun has already sent people to investigate this matter.

But at this time he encountered an assassination, and he unconsciously thought at the same time that if those officials who were doing practical things were assassinated or died of illness, they were doing it intentionally. He and Kong Xi were also assassinated here.

, what will happen.

Just thinking about it for a moment, his heart suddenly jumped and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If a leader of civil servants and a leader of military generals were assassinated here on the same day, it would be inevitable that there would be turmoil in the DPRK. Maybe it would be a new round of reshuffle, maybe it would be a more serious consequence.

Could it be that the eldest prince and the fourth prince knew that they could no longer be won over, so they simply got rid of them?

If he died in a party dispute, there would be chaos in the DPRK for a while, but it wouldn't be long before the two factions fought out a winner and everything would return to peace.

However, if there is really a party struggle, what are the matters involving those low-level officials?

It is good for the eldest prince and the fourth prince to kill each other, but they are only targeting the opponent's arms, and those low-level officials will not be taken seriously by them.

Are there any third-party forces?

If so, the matter is not only serious, but for Dongxia, it may be a disaster!

Kong Xi was good at martial arts. He could fight one against three without falling behind. He had no guards. Ming Chongjun heard the sounds outside. It was obvious that when someone attacked just now, there were people rushing up from downstairs and were killed by Yuan Yuan outside.

Bai Yuansang was blocked.

The door was knocked open. Yuan Bai and Yuan Sang kept the prime minister in mind, and rushed in after blocking the people outside.

But at this moment, someone rushed in through the window.

Three people came this time, and some people were trying to get in. It turned out that they were climbing up by hooking the window sill with a scratching hook.
