This is... the Dongchang guards he sent to the Marquis of Wu'an... they were all killed...
"I have never given any orders to Dongchang. How could they sneak into Wu'an Hou's mansion and assassinate Wu'an Hou Song Tianwen?" The emperor's sullen question came to his ears, and Wei Jinxian suddenly came back to his senses, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head. Low said: "I don't know!"
Assassinating an imperial official is a serious crime, and he must not have the slightest relationship with him!
The emperor's complexion darkened in an instant: "The guards of the East Factory are under your jurisdiction. They sneaked into Wu'anhou's mansion to assassinate Wu'anhou in the middle of the night, and you didn't know anything about it?"
"Returning to the emperor, in the past few days, Dongchang has a lot of official business, and I have been dealing with it all the time. I really don't know about their assassination of Marquis Wu'an..." Wei Jinxian replied in a deep voice.
"Really?" The emperor looked at him with raised eyebrows, not quite believing his words.
"I can swear to the sky..." Wei Jinxian said lightly, raising his right hand.
"You can't even look down on your own subordinates. How did you become the governor of the East Factory?" the emperor snapped angrily, his eyes burning with rage.
"Please appease the emperor, it's my humble minister's dereliction of duty, please forgive me!" Wei Jinxian said in a low voice, admitting his guilt without any sophistry, evasion, and calm eyes, which made the emperor's gloomy face ease slightly...
Song Tianwen curled his lips into a sneer, assassinating a court official was a serious crime, and he could not look down on his subordinates, it was just a crime of dereliction of duty, besides, he is still alive and well, Wei Jinxian’s dereliction of duty is even lighter, really clever.
However, Wei Jinxian sent guards to trespass into Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to kill him, and he didn't want Wei Jinxian to only bear a trivial crime of dereliction of duty!
"Your Majesty, news has just come from Shuntian Mansion that Lord Song Qian died suddenly in the prison!" A young eunuch came forward and reported in a deep voice.
The emperor's eyes froze: "What's going on?" It's all right, how can you say that you died suddenly
Wei Jinxian's sharp gaze was like a sharp arrow, and he shot at Song Tianwen...
Song Tianwen turned a blind eye, fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted: "Your Majesty, my minister was assassinated just now, and my second brother died suddenly in the prison. Things are not normal..."
Of course he knew that things were not normal. On the same night, the two brothers encountered misfortune one after another, so it was strange that things were normal!
The emperor frowned tightly: "Who have you offended?"
"No." Song Tianwen shook his head, and said word by word: "I have never had any grudges with anyone in the court, and I have never even met with the guards of the East Factory..."
Song Tianwen's voice suddenly paused, and he raised his head to look at the emperor bit by bit: "Your Majesty, it was the Dongchang guards who assassinated the humble minister. The sudden death of the second brother must also be related to the Dongchang guards..."
The pill that Song Qian took was brought by Song Qian, and it has nothing to do with him. He is not afraid of the emperor's thorough investigation. If the pill was given by Wei Jinxian, it would be the best to follow the clues to find Wei Jinxian …
The emperor's sharp gaze, like a sharp arrow, shot at Wei Jinxian...
Wei Jinxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will guarantee with the head of the item that the guards of the East Factory have not been to the Shuntian Mansion Prison last night..."
"Duke Wei, if the Dongchang guards can sneak into the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion without your eyes and ears, they will be able to sneak into the prison of the Shuntian Mansion. You can no longer guarantee them..." Song Tianwen interrupted Wei Jinxian in a deep voice.
Wei Jinxian looked at him coldly: "The prison is an important place. I have arranged Dongchang guards to monitor it for 12 hours. If any Dongchang guards sneak into the prison, they will definitely be able to see it!"
Song Tianwen sneered in his heart, Song Qian's body was secretly transported into the prison by the guards of the Marquis of Wu'an, if Wei Jinxian had really arranged for the Dongchang guards near the prison, they would have been arrested long ago, how could Song Qian die suddenly in the prison explain…
He can't expose Wei Jinxian's lies, but he can use another method to create trouble for Wei Jinxian: "Poor my second brother, he died so violently that he couldn't even find the person who killed him..."
Wei Jinxian sneered, looked at Song Tian with raised eyebrows and asked, "I remember that the relationship between Marquis Wu An and Brother Ling is not good, and Marquis Wu An will go to jail, or is it the Marquis Wu An who personally issued the order..."
Song Tian asked whether he was in a hurry or annoyed, and said in a low voice: "Second brother made a mistake, I will naturally put him in prison and let him reform. I am annoyed and angry with him, but I don't hate him. After all, we are How can I not feel sad for my brother who has lived under the same roof for more than 30 years, and his mother, who died unexpectedly suddenly... "
"It's really just like that?" Wei Jinxian looked at him with raised eyebrows, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of ridicule.
"Otherwise, what does Governor Wei think?" Song Tianwen did not show any weakness, and looked at Wei Jinxian coldly: He killed the guard of the East Factory, Wei Jinxian will never let him go easily, and he doesn't have to be polite to Wei Jinxian.
"Stop arguing, let's think about what happened to those murderous Dongchang guards!" The emperor coldly interrupted the conversation between the two, narrowing his sharp eyes slightly.
Song Tianwen pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although the assassin who sneaked into the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion has been killed by this official, I don't know if there are still people in the East Factory who want to kill this official, and my official death is not a pity." , but, the family has an old mother, young daughter, young nephew, and the second brother has passed away. If the humble minister dies again, they will become orphans and widows, with no one to take care of them... "
The emperor's eyes were deep, his courtiers died inexplicably at the hands of the Dongchang guards he trained, and he was the one who was ashamed!
Looking up at Wei Jinxian, he said coldly: "Duke Wei, Marquis Wu An was in danger just because of your lack of control, and I leave his safety to you. If something happens to him again, I only ask you. "
Wei Jinxian frowned, then relaxed it in an instant, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Tianwen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Wei Jinxian is the governor of the East Factory, and he has countless capable people under him. It is easy to kill him. He can escape tonight, not necessarily tomorrow night.
Therefore, he brought the corpse to the palace, told the true and false things, and asked the emperor for assurance. The emperor really handed over his safety to Wei Jinxian. No matter how much Wei Jinxian hated him, he could no longer send someone to kill him. Send someone to protect him, otherwise, if something happens to him accidentally, it will be Wei Jinxian who is unlucky...
The emperor looked at Wei Jinxian condescendingly: "The assassination of Marquis Wu'an, you should investigate carefully, and then rectify the Dongchang. The guards of the Dongchang killed people indiscriminately. I don't want it to happen again."
"Yes!" Wei Jinxian replied in a deep voice, his eyelids drooping slightly, and a dark light flickered at the bottom of his eyes.
"Your Majesty is coming!" The eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice sounded.
The emperor waved his sleeve robe, turned around, and strode out.
"Farewell to the emperor!" Song Tian asked, and Wei Jinxian bowed to salute.
Watching the emperor walk out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, turning a corner and disappearing, Wei Jinxian looked at Song Tianwen coldly...
