"As a general of the Imperial Guard, I am responsible for the safety of the capital. How could I know the law and break the law and do such a dirty thing?
What's more, I have no grievances with you, Mr. Nie. Even if we had a few quarrels before, it wouldn't have gone to the point of murder, right?
Mr. Nie must speak responsibly. The adults from the government office and the Ministry of Justice are here now. They can testify for me. "
"I just said casually, why is General Sima so anxious? Be patient and don't be impatient. Be patient and don't be impatient."
Nie Chen wrapped himself in a big cloak, sat back on the chair, and then said,
"But even if the assassin was not sent by your General Sima, you just said that you are the general responsible for the safety of the capital.
The prince and I were both invited by His Majesty to attend the Longevity Banquet. I traveled thousands of miles to the capital, leaving all the escorts outside the city.
I just believe that with the public security in the capital, we will definitely be safe. Unexpectedly, the dignified prince and county governor were actually killed by hundreds of assassins who came to their homes in the capital city.
It can be seen that the public security in the capital is not very good under the management of certain people, right?
Our life and death is a trivial matter, but we are all invited by His Majesty. If we die in the capital, His Majesty's face will be damaged. How will this make the people of the world think of Your Majesty?
General Sima, your crime, at best, is dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty; at worst, it is trampling on His Majesty's majesty and causing His Majesty's prestige to be damaged.
I will definitely give your Majesty a brochure tomorrow, and I will give you a copy! "
Sima Nan suppressed his anger and said,
"This incident is the general's dereliction of duty and failure to protect Master Nie, but this kind of thing is unexpected and impossible to predict.
Mr. Nie wants to participate in the performance of the junior general, then go and participate in the performance. No matter how your Majesty punishes you, I will accept it.
It's just that the assassination case should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. I hope that Prince Wang and Master Nie will be kind enough to let us take the assassin away so that they can be interrogated and we can get justice for both of them. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen turned to look at King Pingxi and said,
"Your Majesty, I still suspect that this boy sent someone to assassinate me. Even if it wasn't him, he was still related to him. If he was asked to take the person away, the interrogation would definitely yield no results, so he cannot be allowed to take him away."
At this time, the head of the Criminal Department stood up and said,
"Don't worry, Mr. Nie, our Criminal Department has always dealt with justice, and General Sima will never be allowed to participate in this trial. Our Criminal Department will be fully responsible.
In addition, within three days, we will definitely give Mr. Nie an explanation. We will definitely find out who is behind the scenes, and then capture him and deal with him according to the law! "
Nie Chen wanted to say something more, but King Pingxi interrupted him and said,
"Okay, Nie Chen, just hand the person over to the Ministry of Punishment. I believe that the Ministry of Punishment will definitely give a result.
Otherwise, don't blame me for stepping on the punishment department and beheading all these officials who had nothing to do with their bodies on behalf of your majesty. "
King Pingxi's words scared the head of the Criminal Department to the point where he broke into cold sweat and said quickly,
"Don't worry, Prince Qing. Your subordinates will torture them severely, pry open the mouths of those assassins, and force them to find out the results."
"Okay, come here, go and take the person out and hand him over to the adults from the Criminal Department."
"As you command!"
The guards immediately turned around to pick up the man.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Lord Nie."
The head of the Criminal Department breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and followed the guards to pick up the person.
After all those people left, Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"The protagonist's performance is good. He perfectly interprets the image of a sinister, vicious and narrow-minded character."
Nie Chen also smiled and said,
"The prince's performance is still good. The majesty of the wolf looking at the tiger made those people tremble with fear, especially the line about the horse stepping on the punishment department, hahaha, domineering."
King Pingxi said coldly,
"I am like this on weekdays, but are you also this insidious on weekdays?"
"Me? I was just trying to cater to my image in Sima Nan's mind. Who among us doesn't know that I, Nie Chen, am a broad-minded, kind-hearted person."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Ouyang Ming said,
"In this way, we can watch the show. In the next few days, the capital will not be peaceful."
Nie Chen suddenly said leisurely,
"By the way, I suddenly remembered that there is another person who has a grudge against me, and with his character and style, he always likes to engage in assassinations."
Ouyang Ming said in surprise,
"Oh? My lord has an enemy that I don't know about? Who is this person?"
"Liu Jia."
Nie Chen said slowly.
"Liu Jia? Who is she?"
"A cruel and ruthless woman, I killed her whole family, and she herself destroyed her entire clan. In the past, we had to deal with Liu Jia a lot. Now this woman seems to have gone to Dongping County, right?"
…
In the north of the capital, in an ordinary courtyard.
The lights flickered, and a woman with an extremely beautiful face was warming a charcoal pot and reading a book.
The door of the house opened with a creak, and a figure in black walked in accompanied by wind and snowflakes.
As the cold wind entered the room, Liu Jia couldn't help tightening her tight-fitting cotton clothes, frowning and said,
"Close the door quickly."
"yes."
Liu Zhen closed the door, came to Liu Jia, and said,
"Miss, Nie Chen was assassinated just now."
"Assassination? Who is this hero who wants to eliminate harm for the people?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Liu Jia's lips.
"We only know that it was the Xicheng Gang who took action, but we don't know who their master is."
"Well, it's a good idea to bribe local gangs to carry out assassinations. Regardless of success or failure, it has nothing to do with the people behind the scenes and cannot be traced. We will do this in the future. When we develop business, we encounter obstacles. , just bribe local gangs to cause trouble and assassinate, remember?
In the future, if things can be solved with money, don't let our people take action. Your lives are more valuable than the gold of those bastards. "
Hearing Liu Jia's words, Liu Zhen felt warm in his heart and nodded in agreement.
Liu Jia continued,
"It's just a Xicheng gang. If you want to enter Prince Pingxi's palace to kill Nie Chen, you are really overestimating your capabilities.
In the end, Nie Chen didn't die, right? "
"Not dead, still alive. The Xicheng Gang has been wiped out. Judging from the movement, there should be some people captured alive.
The villain lay on the roof and watched for a long time. The red armored guard and the shadow guard were searching everywhere like crazy. The villain didn't come back until they all left. "
Liu Zhen squatted down and warmed himself by the fire while talking. He was obviously freezing.
"They didn't notice you, did they? Otherwise it would have been us if it wasn't us. This shit basin can't escape."
"Don't worry, miss, our brothers are watching along the way. If the red-armored guards come, they will give a warning.
But, miss, Nie Chen has been assassinated and is already frightened. Can our plan still be launched? "
