"These assassins are quite discerning. As soon as they see something is not going well, they just rub oil on the soles of their feet!" Jin Jing rolled her eyes, "The money Sa Gangle spent on raising assassins was wasted. One by one, there is no one." Help him share his worries and solve his problems, but when the disaster strikes, we all fly away."
"Xiaojing, you are wrong. This is a killer, not a dead soldier. He has to sacrifice his life for Sa Gangle." ?”
"Do you recognize Wanyan Zongcheng?" Jin Jing stretched out a finger and shook it, "Let me tell you, someone must have been watching behind his back, saw Wanyan Zongcheng appear, and tipped off the assassins, telling them to run away quickly to avoid these things. When a person is caught, he cannot bear the torture and drags himself into the water.”
"We cannot rule out this possibility. It is also possible that their fire attack did not damage Wanyan Qingmu at all, but instead burned most of the street, causing serious consequences. This was something they did not expect in advance." Shen Cha sighed. He said, "In addition, they also did not expect that Wanyan Zongcheng would leave the palace on a whim and go to the clan school to join in the fun."
"Sa Gangle wanted to give Wanyan and Wen a fatal blow, but he didn't want to make a big fuss, and he was not willing to offend Wanyan Zongcheng and cause uncontrollable public outrage."
"What my brother is saying is that the latter two are not part of Sagunle's plan. If we don't stop in time, it will be difficult to end. Even if the third wave of assassins is withdrawn, he will still be involved. ?" Shen Cha took the hot tea handed over by Ying Wu, took two sips, and said, "If I guessed correctly, Sa Gangle's original plan should be like this." She put down the teacup in her hand, "It's done. Yan Qingmu's carriage appeared in the area where they were ambushing. The first assassin flew down from the eaves and pierced the roof of the carriage with a long sword, stabbing Wanyan Qingmu so that he could not escape from the carriage. The first assassin After you get it, you don't need to fight, just leave. If you encounter any obstruction, go directly to the second wave of assassins. The second wave of assassins is to throw torches at the carriage, which can not only prevent the pursuit of the first assassin, but also destroy the corpses and eliminate traces. , Wanyan Qingmu and his carriage were burned down in the street, giving Wanyan and Wen the most fatal blow. He could not even find the last sight of his son or a complete body, causing him pain and regret for the rest of his life. This was worse than doing it directly. Wanyan and Wen's life is even more tormenting." She said, looking at shopkeeper He, "That's probably what happened, right?"
"Yes, the truth is basically consistent with the eldest lady's guess." Shopkeeper He nodded slightly, "Also, although the third wave of assassins are assassins, they are actually responsible for the aftermath, but they are just not used. This attack , the whole Yiqing Mansion was shocked. Everyone, including the nobles, never thought that such a thing would happen under the eyes of King Jin. This is a complete slap in Yan Zongcheng's face."
"Sagunle is a bit crazy, but he can't even think about this, right?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin, "He has already thought about arranging for people to deal with the aftermath. How could he not think about how he should bear the consequences if the matter is exposed? The dual anger of Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Yuwen, right?”
"He thought about it, but he went astray. He dared to attack Wanyan Qingmu because he thought that Wanyan and Wen and Wanyan Zongcheng were in the same situation. Even if Wanyan Zongcheng could catch him, he would still pick it up. , put it down gently, and in the end, Wanyan and Wen were still the ones who suffered the most. Because of this thought, after Sa Gangle was arrested, he confessed to his crime and admitted his assassination plan very frankly. "
"He didn't expect that Wanyan Zongcheng would follow this assassination case and find evidence of his intention to rebel, right?"
"Yes." Shopkeeper He nodded, "But he didn't think there was anything wrong with his rebellion. After all, everyone has his own ambitions. Wanyan Zongcheng could steal the throne from his brother and nephew, why couldn't he steal Wanyan Zongcheng's? ?According to what he said, the only thing he didn't expect was that Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan were colluding with Wenhang, and the two of them joined forces to deal with him. If he had thought more, he might not have made such a plan, and the assassination would still have happened Assassination, but the plan will be a little more careful."
"People say they won't look back until they hit the wall, and they won't shed tears until they see the coffin. That's not true of him." Jin Jing sneered, "He won't look back even if he hits the wall, and he won't shed tears when he sees the coffin."
"You are a man who dares to do what you do!" Shen Cha smiled and looked at Shopkeeper He, "According to your description just now, the assassin did not succeed. So, how did Wanyan Qingmu get injured, and why did he ask Wanyan Qingmu to do it? Is Yan Ping’s aunt coming to visit?”
"I'm still injured, but it's not serious. I just accidentally twisted my foot while running for my life. But what really needs to invite Aunt Wanyan Ping to see is Wanyan Qingmu's place."
While talking to the shopkeeper, he pointed at his head.
"Didn't you twist your foot? Did you fall on your head?"
"No." He and the shopkeeper waved their hands, "I was frightened, but it didn't show up because of the pain in my feet. When Wanyan Qingmu returned to the palace, packed up and had dinner, he told Wanyan and Wen that he Not very comfortable, with a bit of a headache, and wanted to go back to rest. Wanyan and Wen personally sent their son back to the house, watched him fall asleep, and told the people around him to watch carefully and send someone if anything was wrong. Tell him quickly so that he can come over and take a look, and if you can't handle it, you can call in someone in time."
"Wanyan Qingmu and Wanyan Yuwen are surrounded by your people?"
"Yes." Shopkeeper He nodded, "The Lord has arranged people around Wanyan Yuwen and Wanyan Qingmu to figure out the thoughts and movements of the father and son as quickly as possible."
"The two old seniors are still old..." Xue Ruitian thought for a while and felt that the word "scheming" was not appropriate, so he changed his words in time, "Scheming, if it weren't for the two seniors, we wouldn't know the twists and turns here today. What!" He ignored the joking looks from others and continued to ask, "Did something really happen to Wanyan Qingmu?"
"Yes, he suddenly started talking nonsense in the middle of the night, and then developed a high fever." Shopkeeper He sighed softly, "Because of Wanyan and Wen's instructions, Garut has been staying with Wanyan Qingmu's bed. As soon as he felt Something was wrong, so quickly send someone to fetch Wanyan and Wen. Wanyan and Wen brought the imperial doctor from the mansion, but the old doctor spent a whole night, but failed to calm Wanyan Qingmu's fever, and instead made it worse. . Wanyan and Wen were really at a loss, so they sent someone to the mansion over there and invited Wanyan Ping’s aunt over."
