Shen Di, one of the two prime ministers of the current dynasty and a veteran of the two dynasties, and Tang Ji, who was already in the sixth rank before he reached the weak crown. Tang Ji, who was known as the "Ning Kingdom's most talented man", was actually assassinated in Kyoto. The news spread to the palace. Emperor Ning was furious and ordered the Star Guards to pry open the assassin's mouth within one day.
In the afternoon, at a tea stall on the streets of Beicheng, several poor scholars in commoner clothes were chatting away.
"Hey, brothers, have you heard that Mr. Zuo Xiang and Mr. Tang were actually assassinated? Who has such courage?"
"Is there anyone in the city who doesn't know this news? But having said that, both of them are valued by His Majesty! If you dare to assassinate them in Kyoto City, you don't want your head, right?"
"I heard that the assassin killed many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but was finally stopped by Master Tang. Is it possible that Master Tang is still practicing martial arts?"
"Isn't it? I heard that it was Mr. Tang's bodyguard who caught the assassin!"
"..."
A few people were chatting animatedly, but little did they know that the Mr. Tang they were talking about was passing by right now, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
"So, it was Xiao Tian who saved you again?" After listening to Tang Ji's explanation, Su Ling couldn't help but ask.
Tang Ji nodded slightly. He knew that Su Ling and Xiao Tian would not deal with him, but if he told lies, Su Ling would definitely find out. So he did not hide anything and told the general story of what happened.
Of course, the strange words the other party left at the end were not spoken.
Su Ling breathed a little heavily, frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Who do you think would come up with such a method to frame you?"
Tang Ji sniffed. There were many people in Kyoto who wanted to kill him, including the Yang family, the Zhang family, King Qin, King Jin and King Yin, but he really didn't know who could do such a thing. After all, the opponents are all cunning and cunning people. As Xiao Tian said, those who can think of using this method to frame him are really stupid. Instead of going to so much trouble, it is better to give yourself a knife, although in the end no method will work.
Su Ling nodded and continued: "Then we can only wait for the results of the Xingchen Division's interrogation. Although Xiao Tian has a bad record, with his protection, you will indeed be much safer. However, even so, if you are hit by me , I will still arrest him and bring him to justice. Do you think you don’t know who ordered him to protect you?"
Being stared at by his eyes that seemed to see through everything, Tang Ji couldn't help but shuddered, but still shook his head: "I really don't know."
Having said that, I also had a guess in my mind. He didn't make many friends in this world. If you rule it out, the most likely person to do such a thing is Yue Shuhua, but it can't be ruled out that someone is secretly paying attention to him or someone else. It's Xiao Tian's personal behavior.
After talking to this point, Su Ling did not continue to ask questions and sent him all the way to Jiranju.
"Master Tang, thank you for your hospitality. I will leave first."
Ji Ran stayed outside the gate, and Su Ling said goodbye to Tang Ji casually.
Hearing this, Tang Ji hurriedly said goodbye: "I am the official who should thank Mr. Su. Mr. Su, go away slowly!"
After what happened in the morning, Emperor Ning immediately sent Su Ling to investigate. Tang Ji also waited until Shen Di woke up before planning to leave. Unexpectedly, Su Ling also followed him. In desperation, he had to invite the other party to the restaurant outside. Had a meal.
When Su Ling left, Tang Ji lowered his head tiredly and was about to enter the door when he found Jiang Ran running into his arms.
"Are you okay? It's all my fault. If you hadn't gone to the Shen family, so many things wouldn't have happened!"
Tang Ji had asked Cheng Tie to come back and report that he was safe. Unexpectedly, she was still so worried about her safety. She stroked Jiang Ran's hair and whispered, "I don't blame you. If the other party wants to take action, they don't distinguish between today and tomorrow."
.”
On the contrary, he should also thank Jiang Ran. If she hadn't persuaded him to go to the Shen family and wait until Xiao Tian left, there would have been no way to meet the assassin again.
Tang Ji held her shoulders with both hands, took a small step back, and kissed her forehead: "You are my lucky star!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Jiang Ran's face. Worried that another assassin would appear, she quickly took his arm and walked into the courtyard, almost telling Ye Zheng to close the courtyard door.
"Hahaha, don't be so nervous. No one will dare to come and assassinate me in a while..."
At the same time, in the palace of Prince Jin, Li Xian had also received the news, with an anxious look on his face, and he beat the head of the bed vigorously: "I knew that this method of uncle Huang's would not work, and now the assassin has been caught.
With the Xingchen Division's methods, it will only be a matter of time before the interrogation comes out. How can we be in a hurry to deal with Tang Ji?"
