After the emperor's carriage disappeared into the night, Chu Qing returned to the government office. With a gloomy look on his face, he called a few scouts, whispered a few words in a low voice, and then went straight into the west courtyard.
When he came to the outside of the wing, he kicked the door open and Chu Qing yelled: "Sleep, sleep, get up!"
He Jizhen, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, rubbed his eyes and sat up: "What's wrong?"
Chu Qing walked over and grabbed He Jizhen's collar: "What did you do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen left-behind detectives came holding torches, unsheathed their long knives, and strung their long bows, blocking the door tightly.
He Jizhen slapped Chu Qing's arm off: "How can it be so troublesome for you to die?"
"Do you know about my assassination?" Chu Qing sneered again and again: "Now that you know, how can you still sleep so soundly?"
"I didn't know it at first. I was resting in the house. Uncle Baodan heard it and just told me about your assassination."
Chu Qing took a few steps back and hugged his arms: "If I die and the prince dies, outsiders will definitely think that it was the hand of King Wu Chang Chengke, and the emperor might get rid of Chang Chengke, even if he doesn't get rid of Chang Chengke."
Chengke, the prince has died, so Changxian will definitely become the prince. In order to avenge me, Changxian would rather kill the wrong person than let go. After he ascends the throne, he will definitely send troops to Chang Chengke's fief to kill him.
In addition, he is very smart. Sooner or later, he will suspect your Sandao Hidden Sect. Even if he just doubts, he will bulldoze your Sandao Peak Mountain Gate. From then on, just like the hexagram, Emperor Shang ascended the throne and ruled the world.
Chaos!"
He Jizhen rubbed his eyes: "It seems so."
"It's your uncle, where has the Feng Dao man gone?"
"He just left. He said he was going to catch an assassin. He guessed that you would be suspicious of us, so he wanted to catch the assassin to prove his innocence."
"You treat me like a three-year-old?"
He Ji really laughed: "With Uncle Baodan's skills, if he wants to kill you, there will be no less than a hundred opportunities in the past few days, and the prince leaves the palace all day long and goes to various government offices. Uncle Baodan wants to
Why go to such trouble to assassinate him? No, it should be said like this, I will kill you, Uncle Baodan will assassinate the prince at the same time, and in the end the two of us will escape. This is a simple and effective method, why bother with so much trouble."
After saying that, He Jizhen jumped out of bed, suddenly took out his palm and aimed it at the candle, which was at least one meter away.
With one palm push, the fire candle was blown out by the strong wind.
"Good night!"
After leaving two words, Chu Qing turned around and left. Before leaving, he closed the door. He Jizhen continued to sleep soundly in the room.
After leaving the courtyard, Chu Qing was shocked.
Let me go, this little kid is so powerful?
A group of Tanma also looked at each other in confusion. No one expected that this little kid could be so skilled.
As He Jizhen said, it would be easy for him to kill Chu Qing, and there would be plenty of opportunities.
It is easy for Feng Daoist to kill the prince, and there is also a chance. When the prince leaves the palace in the past few days, the scouts will also dispatch some good people to protect him secretly. It is very simple for Feng Daoist to find out the prince's route of activities.
These two Taoist priests were still suspected in Chu Qing's mind and had motives, but as He Jizhen said, there was no need to go to such trouble.
Back in the main hall, Chu Qing stayed up all night, thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing, and wrote down countless names, but did not cross out any of them.
It has to be said that Chu Qing has offended too many people. Even those he has not offended, those courtiers and those aristocratic families may have planned all of this. He even doubts that as long as someone rises up and shouts, there will be a cloud of followers. After all,
The aristocratic family and court officials had long hated him to the core.
After drinking several pots of tea in succession, Chu Qing suddenly discovered something. Tao Ruolin was not in the government office.
I found Tanma and asked about it, and found out that Tao Ruolin had left with Bihua, without Tanma, and she didn't go to Tao Mansion. I don't know where she went.
Until it was slightly light, Tao Weiran was the first to come back.
In fact, to seal off the four gates, all the friends did not need to go there. Chu Qing simply handed over the task and allowed everyone to perform freely. As for what Tao Weiran was responsible for, Chu Qing did not know.
Fatty Tao had a tired look on his face. After entering the room, he said: "I looked through the files of Jingzhao Mansion. Five days ago, there were two murder cases in Bei City. Both were massacres. One was a blacksmith and the other was a tailor. Now in Jingzhao Mansion,
I haven't found any clues yet, so I took people to Bei City and made inquiries."
"The tailor is wearing unicorn robes and guards' clothes?"
Tao Weiran nodded: "I doubt it too."
"These bastards, even if they kill people and silence them, they actually wipe out the whole family!"
"It is a capital crime to imitate the Qianqiying waistband, and it is also a capital crime to sew the prince's unicorn robes and guards' clothing. I think it was probably because they threatened the families of the blacksmith and the tailor. After the incident was completed, they destroyed the two families.
Door."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Ping walked in: "Master Chu, we have discovered something."
"explain."
"I went to Zhuangzi and Beishi in the southern suburbs to find some villagers and people, and went to Jingzhao Mansion to identify the bodies. I recognized these assassins. The villagers had the impression that they were the same people who had sneaked into Beishi and southern suburbs in the name of refugees."
Chu Qing frowned: "Are there any records in the greenhouse?"
"Yes, although they are from different states, the students asked the refugees in these states and finally found that they all came from the east, probably from the East China Sea and the Three Roads."
Chu Qing's expression changed dramatically: "This means that the assassins and more than three hundred people are lurking in Beishi and Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs!"
"The students have already taken General Tan and the people from the Beijing camp. After asking, these more than 300 people are the same people who worked as handymen in Dapu Temple. But now their whereabouts are unknown. The people said that these three people
Within days, intermittently, it disappeared."
Tao Weiran also became anxious: "There are actually so many assassins lurking in the capital."
"East China Sea, East China Sea!"
Chu Qing muttered a few words, remembering the strange sword skills of the four assassins in the Chu Mansion, his face was as gloomy as water.
"Search for statues, search all over the city!"
"yes."
Nangong Ping and Tao Weiran responded at the same time and left quickly. The situation was getting more and more serious.
The pain in the back of Chu Qing's head was not so much anymore, but the pain in his waist was getting more and more painful. He endured it and waited for his friends to come back to report the latest progress.
When the sun first rose, Xiao Yi came back, and there were still blood stains on the iron gun that had not yet solidified.
He and the two brothers from the Fu family were "walking blindly" in Tai'an Square and found more than 20 people acting suspiciously. They notified the Jingwei. It turned out to be a group of assassins who wanted to capture them alive. Who knew that these people were not afraid of death?
Seeing no enemy, they committed suicide one after another.
Brother Dajun also came back and encountered the same situation. He was guarding near the west gate and led people to patrol the west gate area. In the early morning, more than fifty people rushed into the fan hall and went to the south side fan hall area.
, hacked to death more than ten Liang people envoys, and has been searching for the whereabouts of the prairie prince.
When Brother Dajun arrived with his men, they fought a bloody battle and were better than Xiao Yineng. Seven people were arrested, but these seven people refused to speak no matter how they were executed.
Brother Dajun looked confused: "Aren't you and His Highness the Crown Prince assassinated? Why are you searching for the Great Prince of the Prairie again?"
"Plan B, since I and the prince are not killed, we must maximize the benefits."
Chu Qing tapped the table lightly, thoughtfully: "I almost know who planned all this."
"who?"
Just as Chu Qing was about to speak, Feng Taoist came back angrily. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he shouted: "Chu Qing, lend me that divine arm crossbow!"
"Why?"
"One night, all night!" Feng Taoist said with an angry look on his face: "After what happened to you, the old Taoist was looking for a suspicious person in the capital. As a result... he met a woman. This woman was sneaky and followed her secretly for half an hour.
, found that she was indeed suspicious, and seemed to be investigating something secretly. When she saw others, she drew her sword and stepped forward to ask. The old Taoist wanted to arrest her, but...but...but the old Taoist actually couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.
He's like a ghost, I'm so angry!"
Another mouth was filled with anger. After Feng Taoist sat down, he shook his legs and took off his shoes, which were worn out.
Chu Qing had a strange look on his face. He had almost guessed who Feng Taoist was chasing.
Brother Dajun couldn't help but ask: "Did we lose the chase in the end? Which direction did we go to?"
"It just disappeared in the direction of the palace. It can't be that I entered the palace because of my fear."
Chu Qing has already confirmed that he is Princess Qingyang.
Moreover, Princess Qingyang should also be looking for suspicious people in the capital.
