lonely king

The prime minister was killed, and the news exploded in Beiyan King City. This is no small matter.

On New Year's Eve, the prime minister was entertaining courtiers and friends in the mansion, and suddenly a fire broke out. After the fire was extinguished, he saw the prime minister stabbed to death twice. The fire in the prime minister's mansion was not big and could be easily extinguished, and the cause of the prime minister's death was also clear at a glance.

Above Chao Gang, Beiyan Wang Zhongyan frowned tightly. Today's report made him very displeased, but he did not get angry in front of the officials.

"What's going on here? How could the Prime Minister be murdered in his own mansion?" Zhong Yan looked at Chang Shi, who, like the prime minister, was a teacher of the old prime minister, and was also at the banquet last night.

Chang Shi knelt on the ground, also with a sad expression on his face, "Back to the king, this matter... I am also confused about this matter. There was a sudden fire last night, and the prime minister drank a few more glasses, but he couldn't run out in time. After taking people out to save the prime minister, I only saw the prime minister lying in a pool of blood."

Zhong Yan frowned, "Are you sure about the cause of death?"

Chang Shi nodded sadly, "He was stabbed twice to death."

"That's murder." Zhong Yan looked worried, and he lowered his eyes to think for a while, "Have you checked the people who entered and left the Prime Minister's Mansion last night? Is there any suspicious person?"

Chang Shi shook his head, "Although there were quite a few people at the banquet at the prime minister's mansion last night, they were all acquaintances and there were no suspicious persons. Last night was a small eve, and the adults who attended the banquet did not bring many servants. The servants also went to the festival, and it was clear at a glance who entered and exited the prime minister's mansion, and the minister carefully investigated, and there was really no clue."

Zhong Yan supported his forehead, this kind of thing happened to him, he was the most headache, and he must give an explanation to the prime minister, the party and the people of the world.Zhong Yan raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Yu Wenyang.

"Chang Shi was also shocked last night. Let Yuwen Aiqing investigate this matter. Yuwen Aiqing will definitely investigate the truth for the lonely king."

Suddenly being called by Zhong Yan, Yu Wenyang was a little dazed. He raised his eyes to look at Zhong Yan, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he paused for a while, and immediately knelt on the ground, "I will obey the king's will."

Zhong Yan nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you to investigate, so don't worry, Gu Wang."

The word "rest assured" was like a thorn, and suddenly pierced Yu Wenyang's heart. He raised his head and looked at Zhong Yan with deep eyes. It happened that Zhong Yan also lowered his eyes to look at him. His eyes.

Zhong Yan's heart tugged slightly, why did he feel that Yu Wenyang is a bit different today than usual.

"Aiqing..."

Unable to get what Zhong Yan said, he turned his eyes to look up at the main hall, "The lonely king is tired, let's stop here today."

The king went up and down the court, ordered the little eunuch, and Yu Wenyang was left behind.

Beiyan Palace, Book Collection Desk.

There are no violets on the library desk, and the cold winter months are full of remnants of snow.Zhong Yan did not wait for Yu Wenyang in the gazebo where he often stayed, but ordered the little eunuch to bring Yu Wenyang into the study room, the study room where he used to study together when he was a child.

As soon as Yu Wenyang stepped into the study, he saw Zhong Yan's gentle face, but there was a hint of worry on his brows, and when he saw Yu Wenyang's face, he bent his lips and smiled.

"Why did Aiqing come here so soon?"

Yu Wenyang paused for a moment, with an unnatural expression on his face, "Weichen... Maybe I walked a bit slower."

Zhong Yan didn't take it seriously, he took today's memorial, which was full of imploring the king to find out about the killing of the prime minister, he put the memorial on the table lightly, "It's the end of the new year, it's a busy time, but the prime minister You have to pay more attention to the matter of the government, after all, it is my prime minister, Beiyan, who can't be killed for no reason, and must find out the murderer behind it."

Zhong Yan frowned slightly, a little puzzled, "This killer should be a master of martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped so easily, and he didn't even see a trace of the killer. If such a person stays in the Beiyan King City, the lonely king will not be able to escape. I'm a little uneasy, could it be that people from other countries have sneaked into the royal city? What does Ai Qing think? Is there something strange about this..."

"Ai Qing?" Zhong Yan looked at Yu Wenyang, he seemed a little absent-minded, when Zhong Yan was speaking, he only frowned and held on to the hilt of his sword tightly, not knowing what to think.

"What is Aiqing thinking? Didn't you listen to the lonely king?"

Zhong Yan said with a half smile, not intending to blame.But Yu Wenyang was stunned for a moment, he looked up at Zhong Yan, his eyes were a little darker, he clenched his fists tightly, Yu Wenyang is not a person who can hide things in his heart, let alone he has no intention of hiding Zhong Yan.

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I want to report to my Majesty!" Yu Wenyang suddenly clasped his fists, his eyes were firm, "Actually, the disaster that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night was related to this minister, but...it was my hand... ..."

"What, Chang Shi knelt outside the door and cried?"

Zhong Yan turned his head and looked at the little eunuch who was whispering in his ear. He frowned, but he didn't hear Yu Wenyang's words clearly, and Yu Wenyang's words were also interrupted by him. Zhong Yan glanced out the window, feeling a little headache.

"What's going on?" Zhong Yan asked the little eunuch.

The little eunuch immediately replied: "Going back to the king, after the next court, Master Chang Shi had already left the palace, but he turned back halfway, and at this moment he was kneeling outside the library table, crying bitterly. The Prime Minister, said that the death of the Prime Minister was miserable, and the servants couldn't hold it back, so I ask the king to decide."

Zhongyan raised his forehead with a headache, and frowned in distress, "Xu Changshi is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic. It is really a headache to add trouble to the lonely king at this time."

"You go down first, the lonely king knows, so go and have a look immediately." Zhong Yan said to the little eunuch.

Zhong Yan sighed again, and then turned to look at Yu Wenyang, and at this moment Yu Wenyang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he frowned tightly, displeased with Xu Changshi's wanton disturbance.

"Aiqing, let's go back today. The prime minister's investigation is imminent. Aiqing has worked hard for a few days. The lonely king will never forget Aiqing's hard work."

Zhong Yan patted Yu Wenyang's shoulder lightly and gave him a comforting look.

"Your Majesty, my humble minister..."

Yu Wenyang wanted to say something more, but Zhong Yan blocked his mouth with his fingers, "Gu Wang knows that you don't want to interfere with the affairs of the prime minister's party, but this is not a trivial matter. The prime minister's party is at the banquet. The lonely king can't let them investigate, they can only find someone who is not involved in the matter. Others are worried about investigating the lonely king. After thinking about it, you are the most suitable for the lonely king. Xu Changshi has already caused a lot of trouble for the lonely king. , can't Aiqing relieve the lonely king's worries?"

There was no anger or anger in Zhongyan's slightly frowned brows, but gentle persuasion. Zhongyan was gentle and reasonable, his eyes were clear, and Yu Wenyang couldn't refuse his words, but Zhongyan misunderstood Yuwenyang's intentions. The reluctance to investigate is not at all because you don't want to taint the prime minister's party.

"Your Majesty, my minister is naturally willing to relieve His Majesty's worries, but I was actually the one who happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night..."

"Okay, Aiqing doesn't need to say much. Let's investigate the death in the city and country first. If the lonely king doesn't go out to have a look, Xu Changshi is afraid that he will cry and stop playing."

Zhong Yan blocked Yu Wenyang's mouth, he let go, turned his head and walked out, Yu Wenyang looked at Zhong Yan's figure, took a step forward, and frowned, "Your Majesty..."

He still couldn't say what he wanted to say, Yu Wenyang pursed his lips, feeling a bit complicated.

When Yu Wenyang walked out of the library, he happened to see Xu Changshi snot and tears, crying to Zhong Yan about what happened yesterday, with a posture of never giving up until he found out the murderer behind it.

When Yu Wenyang saw Xu Changshi, Xu Changshi also saw Yu Wenyang, and the faces of the two were ugly. Xu Changshi didn't like Yu Wenyang at all. The investigation was handed over to Yu Wenyang, how could he have a good face when he saw him at this time.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is of great importance. Your Majesty should pay attention to it. You must not just ask someone to investigate it casually. You should find a safe person to investigate together."

Xu Changshi tugged at the corner of Zhongyan's dragon robe, and said in a crying voice, he said what he said to Yu Wenyang, and Yu Wenyang did hear it, he sneered, and glanced coldly at Xu Changshi .

"Does Xu Changshi want to petition to investigate together? This general thinks that you can't find anything out of the investigation!"

Xu Changshi looked up at Yu Wenyang, pretending to see it suddenly, "Why is General Yuwen here, and... what did General Yuwen mean just now? How could he have such an attitude, and he didn't care too much about the prime minister. Take death to heart!"

"You bastard, General Ben..."

Yu Wenyang glared at Xu Changshi, wishing he could tell immediately that the prime minister was killed by his sword, and that it was Zhong Yan who interrupted the two of them. He held his forehead and waved his hand.

"The two lovers don't quarrel anymore. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to Yuwen Aiqing. Xu Changshi should stop talking about it. Yuwen Aiqing should not talk too much. The lonely king has a headache."

Yu Wenyang gave Xu Changshi a hard look before turning his head to look at Zhongyan. Seeing Zhongyan's unbearable headache, he felt a little bit of pity in his heart, "Your Majesty has worked hard today, go back to the palace to rest first."

Zhong Yan glanced at him and nodded, "Ai Qing has worked hard too, let's go out of the palace, and investigate the matter of the prime minister's mansion earlier."

Yu Wenyang's eyes darkened for a moment, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhong Yan, but he couldn't say something in his heart, "I obey."

Yu Wenyang hurried back to the General's Mansion, his face was frighteningly cold, as soon as he entered the General's Mansion, he kicked a reckless servant, so frightened that the deputy general Sui Yi, who usually loves to chatter, dared not speak up.

Yu Wenyang went directly to the training ground, picked up the spear and started fighting against the generals. Although there are usually two pairs of soldiers in training, but today Yu Wenyang is obviously not right, and his subordinates are also ruthless. They stabbed five Among the six soldiers, even Sui Yi was stabbed in the arm.

Sui Yi frowned and looked at the soldiers beside him, "What's wrong with the general today?"

The soldier next to him shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that the general looks like this when he came out of the palace."

"Could it be because of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Sui Yi thought, thinking yes and no, he didn't have so many thoughts in his head.

"Deputy General Sui, if the general continues to fight like this, the entire camp will be injured. Go and stop him."

Sui Yi glared at the soldier, "I'm not going! Didn't you see that I was wounded, went up and was stabbed again by the general? I'm not going!"

The soldiers also looked embarrassed, "But the general continues to fight like this, how can we bear it!"

Sui Yi frowned, he was right, Sui Yi really didn't want to be shot again, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly raised his head, "By the way, my words don't work, but Mr. Baili's words do. Go ask Mr. Baili to come over!"

"Chaomingyuan? Mr. Baili?"

"It's Chaoming Academy, hurry up!"

As Sui Yi said, he gave the soldier a kick. The soldier didn't dare to stand still, he ran out of the practice field after a while, and rushed towards the Chaoming Courtyard.Sui Yi turned around and sighed in his heart, "With the general's bullish temper, I will listen to Mr. Baili's persuasion."
