Chapter 925 King Qi Assassin

码头
At this time in the twilight, I can only see the dark and gloomy towers of the capital in the distance, and the "Qi Death Wind" lamps are lit everywhere, and I can only see boats moored everywhere in the water, but the bustling crowds on the shore have disappeared. The armored soldiers took three steps, one whistle, five steps and one post, and coldly glanced at anyone who tried to approach.

The people of Beijing immediately knew that something had happened, and many people hid in the distance, especially in taverns and teahouses, spying on them from time to time.

"What happened?"

"I heard that a nobleman was assassinated!" A middle-aged man looked around mysteriously, and said mysteriously, "Several people died."

"how do you know?"

"My nephew is on the boat, and I just sent a short message!" The speaker sighed again and again: "Oh, on the boat, real blood is flowing like a river!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, and relished it. A young man in a scholar's uniform beat his palms with a folding fan and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the boats are not allowed to dock, how did your nephew pass the message? Is it a sound transmission? "

The middle-aged man glanced at the scholar, and didn't refute it directly, but said: "Maybe I'm talking nonsense, but you see, with so many armored soldiers, this posture is a trivial matter...Look, the people from Shuntian Mansion are here."

The crowd was startled, and they couldn't help looking at the window, but saw a bullock cart approaching the broad pier, the howling wind blew past, and the armored soldiers standing straight stood motionless, and they were chilling, making everyone shudder , one of them let out a long sigh: "Indeed, something big happened."

Although Dazheng has entered a stable stage, the acute panic of the war will still rise in people's hearts.

In the past year, too many things happened in the capital, which appeared to be suppressed, but in fact, they were just silent, and many people were muttering and uneasy in their hearts.

No matter the earthquake that killed many people, the relegation of the prince, or the disposal of the temples, there are good and bad, but they all point to one problem, that is: accidents.

I'm afraid there will be a big change in the capital.

Qianqi Lake has always been a favorite place for literati and inkmen to play. Now in summer, ordinary people also like to take a walk by the lakeside to enjoy the shade, but something happened again, and so many soldiers came. How can we not make people feel panic?
He also felt uneasy, and Yin Tanping of Shuntian Prefecture just got off the bullock cart. Because of his anxiety, he even tripped and almost fell when he got off the cart.

"Master, be careful."

Tan Ping stood firm, secretly thankful.

It was already troublesome when it came to such matters, but if it was dropped and spread out, I was afraid that some censor would impeach it for "disgraceful official appearance", and the fine was still a trivial matter, so the evaluation would not be good.

At this time, a head catcher from Shuntian Mansion hurried over from a distance.

Although the head catcher is the leader of the police, and he is ordered to suppress the case, but in fact they are all rankless, but they have martial arts in this life, so although they are not given other positions, they still have official titles to reward, generally no more than rank nine.

This is the treatment of famous arresters.

The last time the acting king asked for an official title to reward Shi Chengyan, it actually belonged to this kind.

Of course, Shuntian Mansion will not be without capable people, and this person is a famous arrester, which reassures Shangguan.

"Ding Taiping, what's the situation on board? Is the person assassinated really acting as the king?" Tan Ping asked anxiously. This person was promoted by himself, and he was favored by him, so he can use it with confidence.

Ding Taiping hurriedly bowed: "My lord, I have already boarded a small boat to pay my respects, and found that the person assassinated is indeed the acting king!"

Ouch, the worst has happened!

Tan Ping suddenly felt a headache, and complained secretly in his heart, a dignified prince, why doesn't he wear a guard of honor when he travels, and insists on a white dragon fish suit, isn't this giving the assassin a chance?

"Can Dai Wang be injured?" Tan Ping continued to ask with some trepidation, not to mention dead, if he was injured, he would have nothing to do with it. Whoever called himself the prefect of Shuntian Mansion should be responsible for law and order.

"Don't worry, my lord, the acting king is not injured." Ding Taiping immediately saw the concern of the benefactor, and quickly replied: "The assassin has been taken down on the spot, but..."

"Just what?" Tan Ping was relieved to hear that Dai Wang was fine, but seeing that Ding Taiping still had something to say, and it was still difficult to say, his heart sank again, and he beckoned him to take two steps closer .

Ya Ding Taiping said in a low voice: "But there are people from King Qi at the scene..."

"What?" Tan Ping almost couldn't hold back his expression: "A man of King Qi? Are you serious?"

Ding Taiping hurriedly replied: "My lord, how dare a lowly official lie to you about this matter. When the people from Prince Qi's mansion were about to jump off the boat, they were directly held down. Later, they yelled that they were just scholars, and they wanted to dive because they were afraid of trouble."

"But someone recognized him on the spot, saying that he was a servant of Prince Qi's mansion, and he was not a scholar at all. The reason why he searched for people was related to the fact that he dropped a token, not that the token was dropped and was picked up by others. I won’t even check it carefully.”

It can be seen that this is such a coincidence.

Tan Ping's mouth was full of bitterness, what a coincidence, in his eyes, it was all his own bad luck.

Could it be that he still couldn't escape the fate of being involved in the strife of the kings?
Whether it is King Qi with a deep foundation in the capital, or King Dai who is in full swing, he doesn't want to get close to him. As the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, he is already in a whirlpool, and when he usually turns a blind eye to him, Don't get meddled in everything, I hope it will end well.

But after thousands of calculations, they can't figure out that these princes are not fuel-efficient lamps!

At this time, being involved in the battle of the kings, no matter which side is offended, it is difficult to have a good ending.

For a moment, Tan Ping's mouth was full of bitterness, and he swallowed.

It would be hypocritical to say that I have no ambitions. Whoever is an official does not want to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the minister or make a contribution to the dragon, but he must have a life first!

I know my own ability, I also know my own luck, if there is no smoke from the ancestral grave, I am an ordinary person.

Getting to where he is now is all luck.

Since I can't climb up to the top official, I have already mixed up to the third rank, can be an official safely, get an official in old age, get a posthumous title for myself, and my son can be sheltered.

This thought flashed through his mind, Tan Ping sighed, and his voice was weak: "Wait, follow me to welcome the boat to the shore."

Because there were a lot of people on the boat, in order to prevent suspicious people from running away before the arrival of Shuntian Mansion, the owner of the boat reported to the officials while still parking the boat in the middle of Qianqi Lake until the yamen boarded the boat with a small boat and negotiated with the officials. , and then slowly landed.

At this moment, Su Ziji was the target of assassination on the painting boat that was slowly approaching the shore, and at the same time was acting king, so he was naturally arranged in a place on the second floor, with Bo Yan next to him, and the wild Taoist in front of him, As for the guards on the painting boat, they all retreated to the stairs and the first floor, not daring to get too close to Dai Wang.

Su Ziji looked unscathed, and even tidied up the messy skirts when he dodged. He was sitting at this moment, and when he heard the news, he turned around with a smile: "King Qi sent someone to assassinate me? Mr. Lu, what is this?" What do you think?"
