Wang Junhua heard a few more muffled groans, and another guard fell down. As for Wanwan, a guard had freed his hands and ran over. She knew that as long as she was caught by this guard, the secret in her arms could no longer be hidden. .
At this moment, a group of masked men and horses suddenly rushed out in the dark night and blew a whistle. Wang Junhua was overjoyed. It turned out that this group of men and horses were the dead men raised by Qin Hui. Wanwan was shocked. This group of men and horses had already rushed over. The situation quickly reversed, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger. Wanwan was forced to a corner and watched helplessly as all four of her warriors died.
At this time, she was blocked by front and back, and although she escaped to the horse, she could not get out no matter what. She only shouted loudly in the dark night: "I am Princess Wanwan, you are not allowed to move..."
The dead soldiers heard that she was actually the emperor's cousin. No matter how bold they were, they did not dare to step forward. They just stopped a foot away from her with their swords in hand and waited for Wang Junhua's signal.
Wang Junhua gritted his teeth and whispered: "Kill, kill this scourge..."
Wanwan let out a scream and tried to escape. The horse unexpectedly broke through the obstruction of the three dead soldiers and ran wildly. As soon as she ran less than a foot away, three flying knives flew from behind and she was hit continuously on the shoulders and vest. He screamed miserably, fell to the ground, and died immediately.
A dead soldier stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What can we do?"
Wang Junhua was in shock and gasped: "What else can be done? She deserves to be killed. Clean up the scene immediately!"
The Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded that night, and no irrelevant people were allowed to move around.
Wang Junhua got down from the carriage and got into the inner room in the dark night. Qin Hui was already restless. When he saw her coming in, he was covered in blood and said in shock: "Mrs. Guo, what happened? I have planned the day of your return, and I am afraid that something will happen. Unexpectedly, we sent dead soldiers out to greet him..."
Wang Junhua took off his bloody coat, pulled his beard, and said with a cruel smile: "Old man, you finally did something right. It's your turn to deal with the aftermath."
When Qin Hui heard what she said, he couldn't help but pause and said: "Madam, you have caused such a huge disaster?"
Wang Junhua sneered: "Now you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope. If you don't handle this matter well, you will be finished. Old man, now it depends on your ability..."
Qin Hui was always afraid of hen, and this was not the time for disputes. He immediately went out and secretly ordered the captain of the dead soldiers who had the most orders to deal with the matter overnight. At dawn, he killed all the dead soldiers involved. When he returned to the bedroom , Wang Junhua had already woken up from a nap, but he was still a little worried: "Old man, are there any future troubles?"
"Don't worry, there's nothing leaking. Even their corpses were thrown outside the city. No one will doubt you." Qin Hui was still afraid after all, and whispered: "Kill it, or kill that bitch, that's right. She talked nonsense in front of the officials and told me about "enxiang". Fortunately, Zhang went to report me secretly and had already ordered me not to teach anyone to use the word "enxiang" again. If this bitch doesn't die, she will become ours sooner or later. A serious problem in my heart..."
Wang Junhua was very proud: "This is God helping me. It was the bitch who came to die on her own. I didn't kill her last time, but this time she rushed to give her head to me so that I could get rid of this trouble for the old man..."
"The lady of the country is wise..."
Wang Junhua told Qin Hui about the arrangement of the fourth prince. Qin Hui was sometimes excited and thoughtful at other times, especially when he heard that the fourth prince agreed to ensure that he would be the prime minister of peace and happiness for the rest of his life.
Wang Junhua tugged at his beard and was so proud that he said: "The official family, the fourth prince, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, hahaha, I didn't expect this slave to be so lucky..."
Besides, since Tianwei returned home, she thought of Wanwan's adventure and was frightened all night. The next evening she couldn't help it, so she sent someone to the princess's mansion to find out the news. As expected, Wanwan was not at home, and even the princess didn't know about her. Where she went, it was only said that she went hunting with a few guards. Because Wanwan usually went out hunting, her husband's family naturally didn't take it seriously, but Tianwei was very uneasy. By night, she sent three groups of people in succession, but there was no news. , he rushed to the princess's mansion in person.
Seeing the princess in such a panic, and seeing that Wan Wan did not come back to bed at night, everyone in the princess's house became panic-stricken, and immediately sent a large number of servants out to search. When they found that there was still no news in the middle of the night, Tianwei immediately realized that the matter was serious and sent the princess to the house. The guards of the palace were mobilized to search for Wan Wan's whereabouts inside and outside Lin'an City. Finally, at dawn, the bodies of Wan Wan and four warriors were found in a very remote alley outside the city. When they were found, all the valuables on them were The ornaments were robbed.
When Tianwei saw Wanwan's face that had been soaked in blood and soil, she felt that the whole world had collapsed, her eyes blurred, and she fainted.
Soon, the news of Wanwan's death spread throughout the palace, and the government and the public were in an uproar. Although the concubines were shocked, Zhao Deji was also shocked and ordered the three departments to work together to capture Wanwan's murderer as soon as possible.
In less than three days, the "murderers" were caught. They were a group of gangsters who committed robberies at night. They admitted that they had killed Wanwan out of profit, but they did not know that she was the princess.
When Tianwei got the news, it was like a thunderbolt. She had not eaten or drank at home for the past three days. Wanwan's death made her confused. When she heard that the murderer had been caught, she felt in her heart that this was a huge conspiracy. It can't be such a simple murder.
She couldn't help it, dragged her sick body straight to the palace, and asked to see the official.
At this time, Zhao Deji also learned the news of Yang Yizhong's defeat. It turned out that as soon as Jin Wushu finished singing the empty city strategy, he began to attack aggressively. Although he was not Yue Pengju's opponent, he was more than enough to deal with Yang Yizhong, Zhang Jun and others. , successively, the places such as Xingshui and Shunchang originally occupied by the Song Army fell completely into the hands of the Jin Army. Yang Yizhong retreated and Henan completely fell. Jin Wushu dominated Kaifeng and robbed Longde Palace again. The things that arrived were beautifully arranged, and secretly, he was as happy as a real local emperor.
Qin Hui deliberately arranged to postpone the performance of this news. It took Zhao Deji almost half a month to learn about it. You can imagine how dejected he felt. Coupled with Wanwan's death, it was even worse. He looked sad and looked at the sky. Wei, who was completely naked and in pain, comforted her with tears and said: "Fortunately, the murderer of Wanwan has been caught. I have ordered all the eight people involved to be torn apart. The relatives of these eight people will all be exiled to Hainan to save Wanwan." Revenge, to comfort Wanwan’s spirit in heaven..."
Tianwei knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Brother Ninth, Wanwan's death will never be that simple... I don't believe that she was murdered by others. It was Qin Hui, it must be Qin Hui and Wang Junhua... "
Zhao Deji frowned: "Tianwei, don't act out of control. The murderer has already confessed and is facing justice. How could it be Qin Hui?"
Tianwei hissed: "Because Wanwan discovered Wang Junhua's secret and found out that she had gone to Jinying to have an affair with the fourth prince these days. Wanwan originally wanted to get evidence before reporting it to the officials, but she didn't expect that she would be beaten by this vicious bitch first. Let’s start…”
Zhao Deji looked at her in disbelief: "Now that the war is in chaos, how can a woman like Wang Junhua get to the front line? If she doesn't do a good job as the prime minister's wife, why should she work for the fourth prince? Tianwei, you are too prejudiced against the Wang family. …”
"Brother Ninth, you can investigate..."
"Okay, I'll investigate immediately."
Zhao Deji immediately called Zhang Quwei to wait for the eunuch, and it happened that Wang Jixian also entered the palace to diagnose and treat Xiao Liu. Zhang Quwei naturally proved that Wang Junhua was at home, and Wang Jixian even said with a smile: "Wang Jixian also went to the minister's house for dinner a few days ago. …”
Zhao Deji frowned and said, "Tianwei, are you convinced?"
Tianwei's heart gradually cooled down, she wiped her tears, said nothing more, bowed again, and left.
Wanwan's mourning hall was located in the princess's palace. In the first three days, important dignitaries came to pay their condolences one after another. Tianwei stayed in the mourning hall sleeplessly, kneeling until her legs were numb, but she no longer shed tears, no matter how much people persuaded her. will not leave.
Late at night, a man quietly came in, saluted and offered incense. Tianwei looked at the person with a somewhat numb expression, not recognizing who he was for a moment. After saluting, the man walked up to her and called out in a low voice: "Princess, you Take care."
Only then did Tianwei realize that this person turned out to be Ma Su.
Due to the difference between men and women and the differences between subordinates, she had not seen Ma Su for a long time. When she saw him, she felt that he was the only person she could trust in the world. She could no longer hold back the tears and could only say to herself Yu whispered: "Wanwan died unjustly. One day, the slave family will definitely end up like her..."
Ma Su was shocked. He also felt that there were many doubts about Wanwan's death. How could the majestic princess of the Song Dynasty be killed by robbers? It's really a strange thing that has never been heard of before.
But at this time, he couldn't say a few words to Tianwei at all. He could only signal with his eyes: "Princess, you must take care of yourself."
Tianwei nodded lightly and watched him leave. Seeing that his only sister was acting like this, Zhao Deji showed some kindness and ordered 100 more guards to be added to the princess mansion to protect her safety.
When Hua Rong and his wife arrived in Lin'an, it was already the end of the first lunar month of the following year, when Wan Wan's death was aroused.
Along the way, the two arranged for some people to take refuge in Xianghan, which delayed the day and arrived seven or eight days behind Wang Junhua and others. Wanwan's death was like a blow to the head. The two were stunned and couldn't care anymore. According to the etiquette rules, he immediately went straight to the princess's mansion to express his condolences.
On this day, Tianwei was still guarding in front of the mourning hall. When she saw the two people rushing in, she knelt down and cried loudly. Although she was numb with grief, she was also surprised, but when she saw that the people kneeling turned out to be Yue Pengju and his wife, how could she respond? Can you bear it? Just calling Mrs. Yue, Hua Rong turned around, and the two of them hugged each other and cried...
Although Yue Pengju was used to seeing life and death, he recalled Wanwan's voice and smile. He and his wife had a special bond with Wanwan and treated her like a little sister. He didn't expect that this farewell would be an eternal farewell. That smart little girl would never see him again. Not there! The man did not shed tears easily because he had not yet felt sad. At this moment, Yue Pengju couldn't help but burst into tears. He was even more heartbroken than when he was forced to return to the court.
The three of them cried bitterly for a while, but Yue Pengju calmed down first: "Princess, you must take care of yourself..."
Hua Rong heard her husband's voice in sorrow, and couldn't help but let go of Tianwei, only to see that she looked haggard, her bones were broken, and she was no longer human. Tianwei was still in pain: "Auntie is no longer here, and Wanwan is no longer here either." , in this world, the slave family is alone... "
When Hua Rong saw someone else coming to pay homage in the mourning hall, he helped Tianwei up and said, "Princess, go and rest for a while..."
Tianwei has been working hard these days and has longed for someone to talk to. When she saw the arrival of Yue Pengju and his wife, it was like a life-saving straw. She grabbed her wrist: "Mrs. Yue, I have a lot to say to you..."
In the side hall of the mourning hall, Tianwei retreated to the left and right, leaving only three people sitting opposite each other, crying towards each other.
Hua Rong asked in a low voice: "Is there something fishy about Wanwan's death?"
