Jia Heng and Qin Keqing got off the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and were about to get on the carriage and return to the front yard.
Suddenly, bursts of noise came from the end of the corridor. It was clearly Zhou Changshi from the Zhongshun Prince's Palace who came over. He was stopped by two nuns from the Ningguo Palace. He called Jia Heng from a distance: "But is General Yunhui in person?"
Jia Heng whispered to Qin Keqing: "Keqing, wait for me here first, and I'll go over there and take a look."
Qin Keqing nodded her head, a look of worry appeared on her beautiful jade face, and said softly: "Then go, husband."
Jia Heng came to Zhou Changshi, frowned and asked, "Zhou Changshi, is there something wrong?"
Zhou Changshi bowed his hands and said: "General Yunhui, my prince was assassinated in the Zen room just now. The assassin escaped from the temple. General Yunhui is in charge of the Army and Horse Department of the five cities. Please mobilize the soldiers of the Army and Horse Department to seal the city gate and ask for help." Capture the whole city and bring the assassin to justice.”
When Jia Heng heard this, he frowned and said, "Prince Zhongshun was assassinated? Is his life in danger?"
As the person in charge of public security in Shenjing, if something happened to King Zhongshun, he would always ask, or at least pretend to be concerned.
Zhou Changshi said: "Fortunately, the bandits missed a single blow, and the prince is not seriously injured."
Jia Heng secretly thought "What a pity", and after a moment of silence, he asked: "There are soldiers from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division stationed nearby to patrol. Zhou Chang Shi Ke went to report the case. As for closing the city gates and Dasuo Shenjing, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the capital There is an endless flow of traffic from inside and outside, and if the city gate is closed, it will be inconvenient for people to come and go in Shenjing."
Hearing this, Zhou Changshi's expression changed and he said urgently: "Jia Yunhui, my prince was assassinated, and the military and horse departments of the five cities were in charge of public security and arresting thefts. How could we be so negligent?"
Jia Heng's face showed regret at the right time, and he said in a deep voice: "I also feel very sorry for the assassination of the old prince, and I must do my best to find the murderer. However, searching the whole city will not be useful in catching the murderer, and it will also easily cause trouble inside and outside Shenjing City. The people are panicking, don’t forget, Zhou Changshi, the last time the whole city was raided was because of the chaos in the capital, and now the city gates are closed and the whole city is raided, I am afraid that the city is full of wind and rain, and people are in panic."
If King Zhongshun died at the hands of an assassin, it goes without saying that he would have to hunt down the entire city and dig deep to find the murderer.
But now, isn’t King Zhongshun still dead?
Hearing this, Zhou Changshi's eyes darkened. He noticed that the young man opposite was resolute, and he felt a little unhappy. He spoke sternly: "General Yunhui, the clan was assassinated. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is responsible for suppressing public security in the capital and arresting bandits. , it is difficult to absolve oneself of the blame, if the murderer cannot be found, it will be difficult for both the superiors and the subordinates to explain!"
When Jia Heng heard this, a frosty look appeared on his face, and he shouted: "What Zhou Changshi said makes no sense. The prince goes up the mountain to offer incense and worship Buddha. He has his own bodyguards and retinue to guard his safety. If you still think there are not enough manpower, , you can notify the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in advance to send soldiers to guard and guard along the road. There is no warning in the above. Now the gangsters are hiding in the temple to carry out assassinations. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not a god. How can it be predicted that divine soldiers will descend from the sky? Can’t do it?”
Zhou Changshi turned pale as he listened to the words of the young man opposite him, snorted coldly, and walked away.
When Jia Heng saw this scene, murderous intent surged in his heart.
So domineering!
But he couldn't help but think about the aftermath of this matter.
If he guessed correctly, King Zhongshun would then find an official to impeach him.
However, it is actually of no use.
Next, he should order people to arrest the murderer and arrest the murderer. He also needs to be aware of these villains who assassinated King Zhongshun.
As for King Zhongshun, nothing can be done about him!
What he thought when he was looking out from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was that he had initially established a firm foothold after putting down the Liwei Camp Incident, and not any level of impeachment could shake him.
It was unusual for him to be in a high position in the Chen-Han court and not be criticized.
"After this incident, it even happened to promote the escort business."
Jia Heng was thinking about the subsequent turmoil and how to deal with it, then turned around and walked towards Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing asked with concern: "Husband, are you someone who is loyal and obedient to the palace?"
"Ignore it, I'll take you back first." Jia Heng smiled and said comfortingly.
As the couple talked, surrounded by a large number of nuns and maids, they got on the carriage of the servants and left the Great Ci'en Temple.
On the other side, Zhou Changshi returned to the Zen room and saw King Zhongshun. He recounted the conversation he had just had with Jia Heng. He sighed and said: "My lord, General Yunhui has personal grudges and ignores official duties. He did not agree to the invitation of the subordinates." Blocking the city gates and raiding the whole city, and saying that this will easily cause people to panic."
King Zhongshun laughed angrily and roared: "Jia Heng is so brave! He is a member of the Han clan, with the blood of Taizu and Taizong flowing through his body. Now he is assassinated by a gangster. How dare he, a small first-class Yunhui general, dare to If you neglect your responsibilities like this, how can you see the Holy Emperor and the imperial court in your eyes?"
Zhou Changshi frowned and suggested: "Your Majesty, should we ask the Supreme Court to impeach him?"
For example, King Zhongshun, who takes the eldest brother of the emperor as the head of the clan and is now in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, cannot fail to maintain a few obedient officials in case of emergencies. This time he can seize the opportunity to launch an attack.
King Zhongshun's face was fierce, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes, and he said: "Find someone to impeach Jia Heng's son now! Just say that I was assassinated by gangsters in Daci'en Temple and was seriously injured. Let's say that Jia Heng's son is in charge of the five-city army. Horse Commander, the corpse position is empty, I will resign from his position as the Five Cities Soldier and Horse Commander!"
It can be said that he deeply hates the position of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division led by Jia Heng. Regardless of what happened to Chen Rui the day before yesterday, right now, he doesn't listen to greetings at all, let alone use his fingers like an arm.
In the past, who was in charge of the military and horse divisions of the five cities, which one was not treated as a domestic slave by him?
However, King Zhongshun was angry when he suddenly remembered something and frowned: "Don't tell me where I am hurt!"
As he said this, he felt that it was not very realistic, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were cold.
His injured area was too embarrassing. If this spread even a little bit, he would lose face!
After struggling for a moment, the hatred for Jia Heng outweighed all considerations.
Zhou Changshi suggested: "My lord, please don't just briefly mention the incident of being injured in the assassination. People say that Jia Heng was in charge of the Jingying, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the three yamen of Jinyi Mansion, but he was unable to control a bandit, causing him to assassinate the clan without oversight." Liability for dereliction of duty?”
King Zhongshun's eyes lit up, and he even forgot about the pain in his buttocks, and said hurriedly: "This is how he is impeached. He holds several key positions. If he is connected with evil people, he may be in danger of accidents!"
Zhou Changshi nodded and went to find the Yanguan as ordered.
But Jia Heng, on his side, boarded the return carriage with Qin Keqing, left Da Ci'en Temple, and headed towards Ningrong Street.
In the carriage, the couple sat side by side.
Seeing the young man's frown, Qin Keqing said worriedly: "Husband, are you still worried about causing trouble for Prince Zhongshun?"
Jia Heng waved his hand and said, "It's just a small trouble and can be easily solved."
He was not worried about King Zhongshun, but worried about...
Just now, he noticed that someone seemed to be lurking under the carriage.
Jia Heng looked calm and secretly pressed the long sword at his waist.
The best way at this moment is to pretend as if nothing has happened to prevent the bad guys from taking risks.
Under the carriage, a woman in green clothes was holding the beams on both sides of the carriage with both hands. As the carriage moved forward, the clothes on her shoulders had already been soaked with a cloud of bright red, and her forehead was covered with sweat, even soaking the sweat towel.
As the carriage drove smoothly on the streets paved with bluestones, the woman in green listened to the conversation between the couple, with a touch of sarcasm appearing in her clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows from time to time.
"This Jia Heng was originally Rong Ning's queen, but by chance he became that confidant..."
Thinking of that person's meanness, unkindness, and ruthlessness, the woman in green had a sinister look on her face, and hatred boiled in her heart.
His eyes turned cold, but he knew that he had no strength to fight anymore at this moment. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and calmly adjusted his breathing.
At the same time, as the guards of Prince Zhongshun reported the case to the patrol station around Da Ci'en Temple, the patrolmen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division began to search for Da Ci'en Temple as the center.
There were many patrolmen and soldiers who met Jia Heng on the road and came forward to inquire. However, when they saw Jia Heng, no one dared to stop him.
The woman hidden under the carriage also took a deep breath.
The carriage turned slowly and slowly entered Ningrong Street. It stopped in front of Ningguo Mansion. Jia Heng frowned and helped Qin Keqing get out of the car.
Just as he was about to order people to surround the carriage, he suddenly realized with surprise that there was no trace of people under the carriage.
"I used my carriage to avoid being hunted by the five soldiers and horses in the city, but I was a bit quick-witted, and I didn't go to Ningguo's mansion afterwards."
Jia Heng frowned, thinking about the assassin's whereabouts, and sent Qin Keqing back to Ningguo Mansion.
After entering the mansion and resting for a while, he led people directly to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to take charge.
No matter what, a mysterious force came to the capital and assassinated King Zhongshun. He needed to know the true identities of these people.
Night falls and the lights dim.
In a manor with deep gardens purchased by a merchant named Wan in the west of the city, surrounded by a bamboo forest in the southwest corner, a "click" sound suddenly came from the study.
The tea cup clattered to the ground, and hot water flowed freely on the carpet.
"Who told you to recklessly assassinate me?" The young man's face was as dark as water, and his eyes were cold and stern, staring closely at the woman in a bamboo hat and green clothes not far away.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I kill that old thief, I will have avenged half of my revenge!" The woman in green had an expressionless face, her voice was as cold as ice that could not be melted away for a thousand years, and the wound on her shoulder had been bandaged.
The young man snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "A little impatience can ruin a big plan! Do you know how reckless your move is! If that person is alerted and uses his claws to thoroughly investigate us and other orphans, the consequences will be disastrous!"
At this point, the young master became more and more angry, and still couldn't help himself, he shouted: "Stupid! Reckless man!"
The woman in the bamboo hat pretended not to hear the scolding and said coldly: "Are you afraid? Do you want me to imitate you in being timid in the capital? I don't know how many opportunities for revenge I have missed!"
"Shut up!" The young man's face turned green and red, and he almost growled, "Do you think that by killing the old thief and killing more than a thousand people in Zhao and Zhou's houses, you can rest in peace? After assassinating the old thief, the people in the palace will Can you still assassinate that person?"
"Why can't you kill him?" The woman in the bamboo hat asked with a cold glint in her eyes.
The young master took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, stared at the woman in green opposite him, and said, "Can you use your brain! How could Uncle Zhou be so smart back then..."
The young master said, not wanting to break up after all, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
When her father was mentioned, the woman in the bamboo hat lost her sight for a moment, and her calm heart was filled with anger. She said sarcastically: "You think I don't know what you are thinking. No matter what time it is, it will not be your turn to sit on that chair!"
The person in front of her was the same as her father, and she knew that she was seeking the skin of a tiger.
But the young master seemed to have been stabbed in his mind, his eyes were fierce, and he said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The woman in the bamboo hat sneered and said: "Whoever belongs to that son should belong to him. Don't have any wrong ideas. This is not only my opinion, but also the opinion of my father's old subordinates. You are looking for your uncle's heir in the capital, and suddenly three or four I have found nothing. Is it because I really can’t find it or because I don’t want to find it at all?”
Her father had trusted someone wrongly back then, and she would never trust someone wrongly again in her life. She only wanted revenge and sent those ungrateful and ungrateful people to the eighteenth level of hell to repent!
The young man's sinister gaze under his furrowed eyebrows was as sharp as a sword as he stared at the woman in green. He lowered his voice and said, "You think I didn't search for him in the capital? There are no clues at all, and there is no trace of an heir... He has already met with something unexpected!"
Besides, we don’t know whether she is a man or a woman, whether she is a virtuous person or a fool. How can we easily entrust our ancestors’ empire to their care?
Moreover, the background of the heir of the former crown prince is also quite stained. He was involved in several royal scandals and was even the culprit for the former crown prince's dethronement. His name and surname were not included in the ancestral hall and the ultimatum was used as a banner. How can the world's people be convinced?
He is of the blood of King Zhao, how can he bear to see the royal family humiliated?
The woman in a bamboo hat and green clothes said: "Tell me how you searched for these years, and I will look for it!"
"Nonsense! Revolts are brewing in Henan and Shandong. If you don't go back to Shandong to take charge of the overall situation, are you still lingering in the capital?" the young master said in a low voice.
The woman in a bamboo hat and green clothes said coldly: "How can we start an incident if we haven't found my uncle's heir?
The young master looked solemn and said in a low voice: "The high black tower of Jigong Mountain has already taken action, but you still have no clue in Shandong? If you hadn't delayed the matter, the bandits from the east would have invaded in August, and Shandong would have mobilized its troops to the north. I can set up a big banner. At that time, the Beijing camp has not yet been reorganized. As long as there is a big disturbance in Shandong, the Beijing camp deploys troops to suppress it, and the defense of Shenjing is empty, I can contact the old troops in the Beijing camp..."
Mentioning old things made the young master feel angry.
At that time, if he breaks into the Daming Palace, he can depose the false emperor in the name of the Supreme Emperor...
The woman in a bamboo hat and azure clothes furrowed her delicate brows and asked: "When the Eastern invaders invaded and the barbarians in northern Xinjiang were wreaking havoc, whose world was causing trouble at that time, and who did they make wedding clothes for?"
"Women's kindness!" the young master scolded in a low voice.
He cursed in his heart: "With the same virtue as your sick **** king, if you were a little cruel back then, you wouldn't have let that person in the palace take advantage!"
If he didn't need to rely on his cousin's power in the White Lotus Sect to muddy the waters, would he have to let it go?
The woman in a bamboo hat and azure clothes did not argue with the young master and said firmly: "I want to find my uncle's heir in the capital."
Thinking of the woman in the bamboo hat who knew that even nine donkeys could not pull her back once she became stubborn, the young man also had a headache for a moment and said: "Look for her, look for her, find her quickly."
The woman in a bamboo hat and azure clothes had an expressionless face and said: "Give me the summary of the process and manpower you have been searching for over the years."
The young master said coldly: "I only give you half a year. If I can't find it, you have to go back as soon as possible. You can't delay important events."
"When it's time to go back, I will go back." The woman in green was unmoved and said firmly.
After saying that, without saying much, he turned around and left.
Seeing the woman in green leaving, the young man's face turned ugly and his heart became more and more irritable.
