Outside the Ministry of Etiquette, Chang Yu had a smile on his face. His smile was just right, and he gave a slight salute to the officials who were seeing him off.
"It's night, Mr. Cao, please come back. All of you are the pillars of our Dachang Dynasty. I feel guilty when I am lonely and troubled."
A group of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who were forced to work overtime refused to do so and forced themselves to smile.
Although Chang Yu did not follow Chu Qing, his younger brother Chang Xian followed Chu Qing almost every day, so the boss learned a lot from the second brother about how to torment officials.
Now, as soon as Chang Yu comes to Chao, he goes to various government offices for a stroll. Whichever government office displeases his father, or has the intention to target Qianqiying, he will come there and stay there until the night.
Officials who usually have lazy habits have to think hard when they go to the hut. In addition, Chang Yu also asks about government affairs, sometimes asking about this, sometimes asking about that. If he can't answer, he will find trouble in the court.
These officials are speechless. They are just torturing you and embarrassing you.
As soon as I got on the carriage, a man wearing Qianqiying Tanma costume came over on horseback. After dismounting, he thought about it and saluted.
"His Royal Highness, my lord is in the Chu Mansion. It seems to be an extremely urgent matter. I hope that Your Highness will condescend to move to the Chu Mansion."
Chang Yu opened the curtains of the carriage, showed a big smile, and said to the imperial guards driving the carriage: "What are you doing here? Go to the Chu Mansion to find Master Chu."
Tong Gui, who had returned to his post, frowned slightly and felt something was wrong. He had never seen this Tanma before and had no impression of him at all.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince had already spoken, and there were sixteen guards accompanying him, so he didn't think much about it.
The carriage drove to Tai'anfang, and Tong Gui, who was riding on the horse, asked for Tan Ma's waist badge again. After confirming that it was correct, he lowered his guard.
If it had been anyone else and the prince had been asked to go there on his own initiative, Tong Gui would have been suspicious, but as for Chu Qing, this guy would give Prince Langya a hard time and attack the emperor without any hesitation. Chu Qing would definitely be the one to ask the prince to go find him.
thing.
At the same time, Chu Qing and Fu San also arrived outside the Chu Mansion.
The Chu Mansion was deserted and deserted. Since Chu Wensheng went to Nanguan, and Guanjia Bao was teaching in the academy, all the servants in the mansion also went to the academy. Not to mention it was dark, there were not many people alive in the Chu Mansion during the day.
That is to say, every ten days or so, the housekeeper will lead his servants to clean the house.
Chu Qing is not a fastidious person. If he were a young man from another big family...if he were a small family member of another big family, even if there was no master, there would still be people left in the house. Chu Qing felt sorry for the little wages. When he thought about it, people were idle when they were idle.
Then they were all sent to the academy.
The door of the mansion was wide open, and there were four "guards" standing at the door. After Chu Qing got off his horse, these guards began to salute, and one of them said loudly: "Commander Chu, His Highness is waiting for you in the main hall."
Chu Qing hummed, led Fu San inside, and said with a smile: "Boss, you don't think of yourself as an outsider. You just go to someone else's house to wait for the master."
It was just a casual comment. In his impression, the prince had a good understanding of etiquette since he was "rescued". He was the kind of child from other people's families, which was exactly the opposite of Chang Xian's bear.
However, Chu Qing didn't think much about it. He didn't go to see Chang Yu after returning to the capital. He probably had nothing to do. He just missed himself. He happened to be out of the palace and chatted. If he went to Qianqi Camp, he wouldn't let others misunderstand him. After all, Yamen
There are always scoundrels watching outside the department, and there are endless arrests.
After bypassing the screen wall and arriving outside the main hall, Chu Qing and Fu San both stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other and their expressions changed dramatically.
There was candlelight in the main hall, and lanterns were lit outside. There was indeed a half-year-old child standing in the main hall, with his hands behind his back and his back to the outside.
Sighing, Chu Qing cursed his mother secretly, while Fu San touched Qianji on the back of his waist.
The guard following behind couldn't help but ask: "Why did Mr. Chu stop? The prince is still waiting for you."
With a "puff", he was answered by Fukusan's Qianji, which stabbed out diagonally, passed through the gap in the ribs, and pierced into the heart.
The guard's pupils were full of fear, and the life in his eyes disappeared instantly. Fu San gently pushed the corpse away. Chu Qing sighed, rubbed the back of his waist, bent down, and pulled out the long knife attached to the corpse.
The sound of the main door closing was heard, four guards came over, and the sound of applause came from behind the two of them.
The half-grown "child" in the main hall turned around and kept applauding. He was indeed not a prince, let alone a child, but a dwarf. He was extremely ugly, with a bulbous nose, big eyes, unshaven beard, and a handsome face.
He looks like a fat-headed fish with grade 3 hyperthyroidism, and becomes even more embarrassed when he smiles.
"Commander Chu really deserves his reputation. He made a prompt decision to kill my men when he sensed something was wrong. I admire him, I admire him very much."
The dwarf applauded and came to the threshold with a curious look on his face: "How did you see through it?"
Chu Qing laughed and said, "You are so damn ugly."
While talking, Chu Qing and Fu San retreated to the wall.
At this moment, Chu Qing swore that when he went out in the future, even in the city, he would bring at least twenty younger brothers with him. Unexpectedly, the city was more dangerous than outside the city, and assassinations were even done at home.
Just now, Chu Qing and Fu San noticed something was wrong at the same time, so they took the lead without any hesitation.
The short and ugly guy was not angry, but just curious: "How did Commander Chu see through it? My unicorn robe, unicorn boots, and even the pendant are exactly the same as the prince's. How did you see through it?"
Chu Qing curled his lips.
There is no problem with the clothes, there is no problem with the height, but there is a problem with the attitude!
He and Fu San had almost walked outside the main hall. Not to mention the sound of footsteps, the two of them were still chatting. If it was the prince, it was impossible not to hear it. Since he heard it, it was impossible to pretend to be deep with his hands behind his back. The prince, never
They didn't know how to make such a pose, and they couldn't possibly greet them without turning around. In addition, when they realized something was wrong, they suddenly thought that none of the guards at the door recognized them, and Tong Gui was not there either.
You must know that Tong Gui is the general on the right side of the East Palace. If the prince leaves the palace, he must follow him. Even if Tong Gui does not follow, another general named Wu will follow. These two people, Chu Qing and Fu San, have met
However, Tong Gui and the general named Song are not here, and the other guards are also unfamiliar, not to mention the young guards, too few. There are only these five people. When the prince comes out of the palace, plus the general,
At least sixteen people are required.
One suspicious point led to countless doubts, he didn't take the initiative to greet them, the number of people was wrong, they were all strangers, and he came to someone else's house in the middle of the night. These were enough for Fu San to take action.
He took out the silk handkerchief Tao Ruolin gave him from his arms, wrapped the handle of the knife around his palm, Chu Qing moved his neck and said again: "Why are you so ugly?"
"Commander Chu is so courageous!" The ugly guy showed some admiration on his face and clasped his fists: "It's so admirable to remain calm in times of danger. My name is Wu Yong, brother. I'm sorry."
"You deserve a beating for your stupid name." Chu Qing looked at Fu San and asked helplessly: "Is it one month already?"
Fu San thought for a moment and nodded: "There's still one day left."
Wu Yong frowned: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Qing yelled: "What kind of person can stand these two assassinations in a month?"
Flexing his wrists, Chu Qing asked sternly: "Tell me, do you want to fight hard or something?"
"Commander Chu, don't be angry. Wu, I just have an unkind request."
"put."
"After a while, lead the prince to the backyard."
Chu Qing's pupils narrowed: "The prince is coming?"
"good."
"kill!"
A kill was Chu Qing's answer. He and his third brother took the lead, one on the left and the other on the right.
