The assassination of Nie Chen caused quite a stir in the capital. That morning, many vehicles were parked in front of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, and corpses were carried out one after another, covered with white cloth, and handed over to the government officials to be taken away.
This scene was seen by many people.
In addition, with the help of thoughtful people, the news of the assassination of Mr. Nie, the governor of Weihu County, in the capital was also spread, causing an uproar in the capital.
If one were to select Feng Country's man of the year, this year's figure would definitely be Nie Chen. Nie Chen was too young and rose too fast. In addition, he was from a grassroots background, so he gained a lot of attention.
From the remark that Nie Chen borrowed troops but never repaid them, we can see how famous Nie Chen is now.
With the assassination of Nie Chen, it became a hotly discussed topic in major restaurants and teahouses in the capital.
Various conspiracy theories emerge in endlessly, but the most mainstream view is that Nie Chen was assassinated by King Anton.
After all, the one who had the biggest conflict with Nie Chen was King Anton.
Two days later, news came out from the Ministry of Justice that the assassin confessed and was the assassin bribed by King Anton.
Then, the Ministry of Punishment specially sent people to Prince Anton's Mansion to ask Prince Anton to go to the Ministry of Punishment to assist in the investigation.
King Anton was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. As a king of military merit, he was naturally not something that a small criminal department could take whenever he wanted, so he even beat the people of the criminal department out.
It is said that King Anton even stood at the door of his house and scolded the Ministry of Punishment, saying that the people in the Ministry of Punishment were all bastards who were blinded by lard, and they were all bastards who had eaten their own meals. This was obviously arranged by Nie Chen himself, and he wanted to make him Just taking the blame.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole capital was once again in an uproar. People accused King Anton of not doing what he should, and of not having the majesty and magnanimity of a king.
To openly assassinate a county governor in the capital city is to defy the majesty of the royal family. To do it but not dare to admit it, and to beat up the Ministry of Punishment for handling the case, is even more lawless and irresponsible.
These two incidents caused King Anton's reputation to plummet.
However, the next day, people from the Criminal Department went to King Anton's door again and shouted, asking Anton to go to the Criminal Department to cooperate with the investigation.
King Anton sent people to fight again.
In the past few days, King Andong cursed every day, and the door of Prince Pingxi's palace was closed tightly. He didn't care about anything. King Zhennan and King Jingshan were happy to watch the show and were happy every day.
The Ministry of Punishment sends people to ask King Anton to investigate every day. It even said that if King Anton does not cooperate, His Majesty will have to make a personal decision and handle the matter publicly at the Wanshou Banquet. When the time comes, King Anton will not be able to come forward. Will not work.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, King Anton couldn't sit still. He didn't want to be embarrassed at the longevity banquet, so he wanted Nie Chen to stand up and say that he was not an assassin sent by King Anton.
King Andong first sent someone to Prince Pingxi's Mansion to pay his respects and invite Nie Chen to come to Prince Andong's Mansion for a gathering. As a result, the door of Prince Pingxi's Mansion was closed and no one was accepted.
Everyone was well aware of this reaction. After all, Nie Chen couldn't be stupid enough to throw himself into a trap.
And this was the effect King Anton wanted, so he sent someone to yell at the door.
At this time, many people had gathered at the entrance of Prince Pingxi's Mansion, roughly divided into two types.
On the inner floor, there were about a hundred people, all of them armed and well-equipped, with great potential to attack Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
The outer layer is filled with people from the imperial city, including common people, officials, servants, and the like.
The Imperial City only does not allow the common people to live in it, but it does not prevent the common people from entering or exiting. After all, there are many shops and peddlers selling goods along the streets in the Imperial City.
It is human nature to watch the excitement. Naturally, a lot of people gathered in front of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion to watch the excitement.
On the side of King Anton's people, the leader was a counselor, wearing the clothes of a scholar, standing in front of the door and cursing,
"Nie Chen, come out. You have the ability to wrong people. Come out if you have the ability. Don't say anything. I know you are at home!
You first arranged for an assassin to assassinate yourself, which was a good show, and then you colluded with people from the Criminal Department to frame our prince. Your ambition is obvious! "
"Nie Chen, get out of here. Our prince has been upright and upright in his life. How can we allow you to frame him like this? Get out of here!"
"Don't dare to take it seriously. Our prince has said that you should go over and cooperate with the Ministry of Punishments to investigate this matter. Why don't you dare to come out?"
"Come out, are you feeling guilty? Come out quickly, confront our prince, and clear our prince's name!"
"Nie Chen is a rat, a courageless man, a thief who steals the city! Weihu County is obviously our prince's defense area, and my prince divides his troops to station them to protect the safety of the country gate in the north of Gale!
But you took advantage of the chaos to raise troops, killed my prince's royal division, occupied Weihu County, and killed the county guard Liu Hu. You even colluded with the court officials to give slanderous advice to His Majesty, deceived His Majesty, and stole the position of Weihu County Governor! "
"You thief who stole the city, you have the ability to rob the city, come out if you have the ability!
Not only did you rob our defense area, you also deceived His Majesty! You want to assassinate yourself to frame my prince!
My prince has been loyal and virtuous throughout his life, a lesson learned from heaven and earth. He guards the border and defends the country with utmost loyalty! "
"Such an upright person was framed by you in this way. In the capital city, at the feet of the emperor, in the bright sky, in the bright universe, how dare you! How dare you!"
"If you have the ability, come out and go with my prince to meet His Majesty. Your Majesty will make your own judgment whether you are loyal or traitorous!"
…
The counselor was scolding so happily that a large group of melon-eating people gathered around him, waiting to see the show.
Just when people were curious about how Nie Chen should respond, the main door of Prince Pingxi's Mansion suddenly opened with a creak.
A tall and mighty general wearing silver-white armor, holding a square halberd in his hand, crossed the threshold, walked out, and stood in front of the door.
"What kind of dog is barking outside, disturbing grandpa's nap!"
When the counselor saw this, he frowned and said,
"We want to see Nie Chen, who are you!"
The general slammed Fang Tian's painted halberd into the ground, stood at the door with his golden sword, and said,
"I am General Zhou An. If you are not afraid of death, please report your name!"
"Ah? Is it Zhou An?"
When the soldiers outside heard this, they suddenly panicked.
Everyone has heard of Zhou An's legendary achievements. He was a fierce man who broke into an army of hundreds of thousands of people by himself!
"I...I am Pan Wei, a staff member of King Anton's tent. On the order of my prince, I have come to invite Mr. Nie to confront me!"
"Oh, I haven't heard of it. Who asked you to come?"
Zhou An said lazily.
Oh no, you are deaf or something, I even told you that I am from King Anton.
"This is my prince, Prince Anton."
"Oh, why are you here?"
What the hell...
If Pan Wei didn't think he couldn't beat Zhou An, Pan Wei would have wanted to go up and scratch his big ears.
