In other words, the two assassins tonight were sent by Prince Gong to assassinate Nangong Xin!
Fu Yunyan's eyes were wide open, her expression was no longer lingering, her little face was full of anger, and she almost wanted to rush to Gongjun Palace to settle accounts with Han Lingfu.
But after all, she was no longer the impulsive girl she used to be. After taking a few deep breaths, she calmed down a little, but there were still two clusters of flames burning in her eyes, reflecting her eyes as bright as gems.
"Ah Xin!" Fu Yunyan took Nangong Xin's hand, raised her face and said solemnly, "Let's go to the princess mansion to find grandma and third brother!"
Nangong Xin held Fu Yunyan's plain hand instead, her palms and fingers were not as soft as those of ordinary women, but she had rough calluses from years of martial arts practice, but it made him feel at ease.
Nangong Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Liu Niang, let's go." It was about Han Lingfu, King Gongjun, and Nangong Xin could vaguely guess that the assassination was not just aimed at herself or Nangong Mansion.
It was already pitch black outside the house, and in the distance, there was the sound of gongs and drums, loud and piercing, the corner door on one side of Nangong Mansion opened again, and two tall horses came out from behind the door, towards the gate of Yongyang Dachang Princess' mansion. He rode his horse in the direction, and the sound of horseshoes gradually faded away.
After a stick of incense, the Princess Mansion was in a commotion because of the sudden visit of the young couple. After a while, Fu Yunhe, who heard the news, also came to the east room of Wufu Hall, and the grandparents and grandchildren sat together.
Nangong Xin told Yong Yang and Fu Yunhe about the fact that he was assassinated at the gate of Nangong Mansion tonight, and that the secret guards of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion followed the escaped man to the Prince Gong's Mansion.
After Nangong Xin finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in Dongci Room. After Yong Yang pondered for a moment, he turned his head to look at Fu Yunhe and asked, "Brother He, what would you do if the dead man succeeded today?"
If the dead man succeeded, if Ah Xin was killed, Fu Yunhe's pupils were filled with anger, and he said decisively: "Grandmother, of course we must investigate and find out the truth, and catch the murderer!" How could he let Ah Xin die so unjustly!
"Brother He, then what identity do you want to investigate?" Yong Yang asked again calmly.
"" Fu Yunhe froze for a moment, he is now a member of Zhennan Palace.
Seeing that he was thinking, Yong Yang continued: "Brother He, this is the capital, not Nanjiang. You came to the capital this time as an envoy from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. If you insist on meddling in the court's investigation , on behalf of Nanjiang’s interference in Dayu’s affairs, so should I take care of it or not? If I take care of it, then my princess mansion is directly facing Zhennan Wang’s mansion. How can you gain a foothold? If I don’t care, let you represent the town The Nanwang Mansion acts recklessly in the capital and does whatever it wants, so what prestige does Dayu and the new emperor have?!"
Yong Yang's voice became colder and colder, "Han Lingfu is really calculating, he is trying to use Axin's death to stir up a dispute between the new emperor and Nanjiang. The two sides have discord, and losing the support of the Zhennan Palace is like losing the arm of the new emperor." After speaking, Yong Yang sighed, "Han Lingfu has been ambitious for many years, but I didn't expect that now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he is still immortal. Heart, still coveting the throne, jumping up and down"
After the words fell, the room fell silent, dead silent.
Fu Yunhe's eyes flickered, and after a while, he said slowly: "Grandmother, Ah Xin, let's leave it to the Zhennan Palace to deal with it." Fu Yunhe seemed to have calmed down a lot, and seemed to have a plan in mind.
The other three people in the room all looked at Fu Yunhe in unison.
Fu Yunhe took a sip of tea calmly, and then continued to explain casually: "Han Lingfu is also a dignified county king, and he is also the emperor's brother. There is no basis for this matter. It will only create a reputation of 'the new king can't tolerate the elder brother'. The reputation of the emperor is bad enough." Fu Yunhe's last sentence was very meaningful. Grandma needs evidence to do things, but they don't need it in the Zhennan Palace, as long as they know who did it!
There was another silence around, and everyone had to admit that Fu Yunhe's words were not unreasonable.
"Okay! That's the deal." Fu Yunhe didn't intend to give them a chance to choose, so he just patted his ass and left.
After he left Wufutang, he didn't go back to his own yard to rest. Instead, he climbed over the wall and left Princess Yongyang's mansion alone. He didn't even ride a horse, and just galloped all the way through the night, shuttling among the deserted alleys and finally came Arrived at Fengyin Restaurant on Wangdu South Street.
This Fengyin restaurant is one of Xiao Yi's hidden stakes in the capital, and it is also a gathering point for all parties' information. The intelligence obtained from the hidden stakes in the capital will be collected here, and then sent to Luoyue City by the owner of the restaurant. At the same time, if Xiao Yi had any orders in southern Xinjiang, he would also let the pigeons fly here, and the boss would arrange them before ordering them one by one.
Fu Yunhe came to the back door of the restaurant familiarly, knocked on the door three times regularly, and then twice, and after a while, there was a soft "squeak", and someone opened the door from inside.
"General Fu, please come in." The fat boss in only a white jacket hurriedly welcomed Fu Yunhe into the room, with a smile on his round face like a Maitreya Buddha, looking very kind.
Fu Yunhe casually found an armchair and sat down, straight to the point: "The second young master of Nangong Mansion was assassinated tonight, I want you to arrange two more secret guards to protect the second young wife of Nangong." Tonight, Nangong Xin was assassinated by the slain man of Gongjun Prince's Mansion, and he briefly talked about it.
The smiling face of the fat boss's round face suddenly disappeared, and his complexion straightened, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, General Fu, this subordinate will make arrangements."
After a pause, the fat boss asked cautiously, "I wonder if General Fu has any orders?"
Fu Yunhe stroked his chin, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Before the general set off from southern Xinjiang, the son of the world told the general that as long as Dayu is honest, you don't have to worry about what they want to do, but if someone doesn't grow up If you dare to put your hands on the second son of Nangong, then our Zhennan Palace is not a doormat for being bullied, so let this general do it boldly and don't have to be polite to the enemy."
During Fu Yunhe's words, the fat boss's small eyes narrowed into two lines, and there was a trace of cold sharpness in them, and he listened carefully to what he said.
The dim candle flames danced "zizi" in the air. After a stick of incense, Fu Yunhe just left the restaurant's back door the same way, and Fengyin Restaurant became quiet again, as if everything was as usual.
The night is getting deeper, and the silver moon in the night sky is still bright and clear, still so peaceful and indifferent, but people's hearts are not!
In Gongjun Prince's Mansion in the east of the city, Han Lingfu was staying alone in the outer study, walking back and forth angrily, raging anger burning in his heart, raging
Nangong Xin is just a literati with no strength in his hands. It would have been easy for two dead men to take his life, but he failed unexpectedly, and even got a dead man!
It is labor-intensive and time-consuming to train dead soldiers. You need to start training young children under the age of seven, inculcate the responsibilities of dead soldiers, restrict their behavior, and then slowly select the best and weed out the weak. It will not be possible in five or six years. So far, I have only five Ten qualified dead soldiers, in order to complete the task, they can be desperate and forget their lives!
Although the life of a dead man is nothing, but one death is one less
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu gritted his teeth, and said angrily in his heart: "Why is this Nangong Xin so lucky to be saved!"
Nangongxin himself is insignificant, but he is the eldest brother of Princess Zhennan and the confidant of Han Lingfan, the fifth emperor's younger brother. His existence made Han Lingfan get the support of Zhennan Palace by accident, and he was able to ascend the throne.
As long as Nangong Xin dies, the fragile connection between Han Lingfan and Zhennan Palace can be severed;
As long as Nangong Xin dies, Han Lingfan will have to give an explanation to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. At that time, as long as he handles it properly, he will muddy the muddy water like his father did when the emperor died, and let the murder case go unsolved. The royal family's dissatisfaction with Dayu, even hatred!
Without the support of the Zhennan Palace, would Han Lingfan still be able to secure his throne? !
Han Lingfu was full of confidence in this, but he didn't expect that his plan to assassinate Nangongxin would fail!
Where did the man in black who suddenly appeared to save Nangong Xin come from? !
According to the description of the dead man who escaped from death just now, the man in black is probably a hidden guard, a skilled hidden guard!
Dark guards cannot be cultivated by ordinary people, it is several times more difficult than cultivating dead soldiers. In this royal capital, apart from the father who has already gone first, I am afraid that only Yongyang Dachang Princess's mansion has the ability to cultivate this kind of guard. A high-level hidden guard could it be said that the man in black was sent by Aunt Yongyang to secretly protect him beside Nangong Xin? !
The more Han Lingfu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth, and there was a strong murderous intent and unwillingness in his eyes.
He didn't understand, even though he was Aunt Yongyang's grandnephew, why Aunt Yongyang was so biased and always helped Han Lingfan suppress him!
Is it just because Han Lingfan is the queen's son? !
hateful! Hateful!
"boom!"
Han Lingfu punched heavily on the desk next to him, a thick haze appeared in his eyes, and his handsome face was slightly distorted.
He will never let it go, since one plan fails, then he will make another plan. He wants to see what Han Lingfan can do with him? !
Han Lingfu's expression was icy cold, like the frost of ten thousand years.
The night was colder and thicker. This night, the candles in the study were not extinguished until the sound of gongs and drums at the third watch.
Early the next morning, Han Lingfu got up with the cock crowing as usual, and hurriedly rode his horse to the palace for the morning court.
At that time, the sky was still dim, but the capital of the king had already fully awakened. All civil and military officials gathered in the Golden Temple in high spirits, looked up at the young king sitting on the throne, and then saluted and shouted long live.
When the little servant yelled, "There is a book to play, and there is nothing to leave the court", a censor immediately stood up and brought up the civil unrest in Jingzhou, denouncing its source as a disaster caused by corrupt officials. It is proposed to punish officials and investigate corruption, and the government is in charge!
The censor's words hadn't finished yet, Han Lingfu had already walked out of the queue, and many courtiers seemed to sense something, secretly exchanging glances.
Sure enough, in the next moment, I heard Han Lingfu righteously say: "Your Majesty, the son said: If you haven't changed your father's way for three years, you can be called filial piety. My Dayu officials were appointed by the late emperor. The late emperor recognized talents and appointed them. He is a wise emperor through the ages, what does the emperor think?"
Han Lingfu looked directly at Han Lingfan provocatively, with a mocking sneer on the corner of his mouth. He wanted to see if Han Lingfan dared to criticize the late emperor in front of everyone!
Han Lingfan frowned slightly, seemingly embarrassed.
Seeing this, a look of color flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and then he directly confronted Han Lingfan.
When Han Lingfan mentioned disaster relief, the Minister of the Household Department hadn't spoken yet, and Han Lingfu had already spoken eloquently for the Household Department to cry for poverty.
Han Lingfan proposed to send troops to Jingzhou to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army. Before the minister of the Ministry of War said anything, Han Lingfu had already impassionedly stated that Dayu had been fighting for years and it was not appropriate to go to war again. He should send people to Jingzhou to recruit security.
The ending of the early court ended with another dispute between you and me, and most of the court affairs became "discuss tomorrow" under Han Lingfu's deliberate disruption
After the morning court, Han Lingfu, who was in a good mood, walked slowly towards the palace gate, calm and at ease.
In the distance, an official of medium stature strode towards this side and bowed respectfully to Han Lingfu: "See you, my lord."
Han Lingfu responded casually, not paying attention to the other party, and continued to walk forward.
But the official didn't move on. Instead, he turned his head to look at Han Lingfu's back, with a strange expression on his face.
He hesitated for a moment, quickly caught up with Han Lingfu, and said in a respectful voice: "My lord, please forgive me for talking too much, you better go back to the palace quickly." He hesitated to speak, and hurriedly said, "My lord I still have to pay my respects to Mr. Shoufu, so I will take my leave first!"
Then, as if afraid that Han Lingfu would stop him, the official quickened his pace and left, making Han Lingfu confused. He frowned, and left inexplicably shaking his sleeves
After a cup of tea, when Han Lingfu came to the palace gate, he saw a young man in Tsing Yi who was poking his head outside the palace gate eagerly greeted him. He seemed to be sweating profusely and said anxiously: "My lord! I have seen my lord before." Also, please hurry back to the mansion, the prince!" The servant of the county manor also seemed hesitant to speak.
Han Lingfu's heart skipped a beat, and his complexion sank. He couldn't help but think of the official just now, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Could it be that something happened in the county prince's mansion? !
Han Lingfu was so anxious that he quickly got on his horse and rode away as fast as he could.
While the horseshoes were flying, Han Lingfu kept waving the whip and speeding up the horse. An ominous premonition arose in his heart, and it became more and more intense.
I don't know if it was his illusion, wherever he passed, the people on both sides of the street seemed to be pointing at him, whispering to each other, and giving him weird looks.
The closer you are to the county palace, the more weird and probing eyes you will see
What happened to the county palace? !
Why does it seem like everyone is watching him? !
The anger in Han Lingfu's heart became more and more intense, he swung the whip high, and swung it down again with a "pop"
The white horse under his crotch turned left quickly, and came to the street where the Prince's Mansion was located.
At a glance, Han Lingfu saw the commotion at the entrance of the prince's mansion in Bailaizhang. what to say to the porter
The distance was so far that Han Lingfu couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about.
"Tap Tat Tat"
As the sound of horseshoes approached, the two men dressed in foreign races followed the sound and looked in Han Lingfu's direction, with surprise on their faces.
Han Lingfu gradually slowed down his horse and stopped five or six feet away. The two exchanged glances and rushed up to meet him.
One of the bearded beards said loudly in awkward Dayu words: "King Gong, we are from Baiyue, and we learned that His Highness Kui Lang left His Highness in your mansion, and we have been ordered to bring His Highness back to Baiyue to be served. It is orthodox. In the future, His Royal Highness will be restored, and then I will thank King Gong for his kindness in nurturing!"
Han Lingfu's face changed in an instant, startled and angry, his handsome face was almost bloodless, and subconsciously blurted out: "Nonsense!"
Han Lingfu clenched the horse rope in his hand, his mind was so confused that he could hardly think, and then he ordered: "Come on! Take these two lunatics for this king!" He couldn't let these two Baiyue People continue to talk nonsense in the capital!
Five or six guards from the royal palace surrounded him when they heard the sound, and the bearded beard raised his voice and said again: "Jun Gong, we are talking to you in a nice voice, why are you so?!"
The mustache next to him said: "Your mansion's eldest son is clearly my little highness of Baiyue, please return your little highness quickly, King Gongjun!"
For a moment, Han Lingfu felt that all the people who had been driven ten feet away were all staring at him.
Those gazes pierced him like thousands of flying knives, making him extremely humiliated!
