spring as old

It was probably because of discovering Wei Xiu's unknown secret, and felt that she was not as remote and unapproachable as he had imagined, and because she was a woman, there was virtually no line of defense for the difference between men and women. Pu Yang treated her with gentleness. I got a lot closer.

She put aside the matter of solicitation for the time being, and stopped pressing her step by step, but she did not give up in her heart.She didn't mind showing favors, and she didn't mind promising any benefits, because Wei Xiu would never let go.

Puyang Jingxian's posture was perfect, putting his own safety behind Wei Xiu.

Wei Xiu just smiled when she heard this, raised her voice to call a servant to come in, and at the same time stretched out her hand to Pu Yang, Pu Yang understood, walked over, and put the pouch with the letter in her palm.

Wei Xiu took the pouch, and said to the servant: "Here is a letter, you keep it, go down the mountain immediately, and send it to His Royal Highness King Jin in Beijing."

After she finished speaking slowly, she looked towards Puyang.

Pu Yang took the opportunity to take over the conversation, and said to the servant: "The mansion of King Jin is built in Chongde Fang, you go there, just find someone to inquire and you will find out. When you come to the door, his servants are very kind." Wang Riri always had the attitude of a courteous corporal, and the servants in the mansion naturally acted according to his preferences, "You just tell the door that Puyang Youxin and His Royal Highness will definitely be led to meet you. After meeting King Jin , you just present this saber.”

The instructions were very detailed.

The servant took the pouch and looked at Wei Xiu, Wei Xiu nodded slightly, then he leaned over and said "yes" and went out.

Pu Yang followed him with his eyes, and when he walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Wait!"

The servant stopped, turned around, and bowed to listen to the order.

Pu Yang took two steps, went in front of him, and said solemnly: "If King Jin asks about my situation these few days, you just know that you don't know, so don't bother."

The servant did what he was told, so naturally he wouldn't ask her too much about this sudden whim, so he made a note of it carefully and went out.

Pu Yang watched him walk away, Fang turned his head and sat opposite to Wei Xiu, he was very considerate of Wei Xiu and said: "My third brother is very thirsty for talent, if you find out that Mr. He will come here with great fanfare and disturb Mr. Qing."

It is said that she is afraid of disturbing her purity, but in fact, she is afraid that Jin Wang's successor will come up and snatch her away.His Highness's thoughts are very conspicuous, Wei Xiu glanced at her, Pu Yang smiled frankly.

Wei Xiu also smiled, and after laughing, she said: "His Royal Highness is still injured, it is important to take care of him, go and rest."

After doing this, Puyang really felt tired, so he didn't refuse immediately, got up and went back to his room.

At this time, in Xuande Hall, the emperor was reviewing memorials.

The memorials on the imperial case were piled high, and there was no news from Puyang so far. The emperor was not interested in political affairs, and the important matters for a few days were all piled up in one place.But the world's major events will not be affected by the princess's affairs, and there are quite a few memorials that should come every day.

Since the emperor came to the throne, he has been diligent in government and caring for the people. He read the memorials until late at night every day, and he never slacked off. He frowned and said, "Dou Hui, come and read it to me."

As soon as he said this, the eunuch standing behind him took a step forward, respectfully read the memorial with both hands, and began to read.

The emperor leaned on the hidden pouch, closed his eyes and listened, he wanted to calm down and focus on political affairs, but he couldn't calm down, and when he closed his eyes, he thought about what was going on with Qiniang, whether she was safe, and where she was living.

The guards who followed were all dead. How could a frail woman in Qiniang stand up to the vicious assassin? The emperor couldn't help feeling hopeful, hoping that the princess was hiding somewhere and she was safe and sound.

After reading a melody, the emperor only vaguely heard the general idea, and he frowned, his expression very gloomy.

Dou Hui was the eunuch most relied on by the emperor, who was able to figure out the emperor's will best. Seeing this, he closed the memorial in his hands lightly, and respectfully said: "Everyone is tired? Why don't you take a break and deal with it later."

"Hmm." The emperor helped his servant to sit up and asked, "Is there any news about Qiniang?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Dou Hui's face, he softened his voice, and said very tactfully: "The Ministry of Punishment and the adults of Dali Temple are still trying their best to investigate, presumably there will be news in a short time."

This is no progress?The emperor's heart faltered, and somehow he had an ominous premonition. He was about to send someone to summon the two ministers who were in charge of the matter, and after a few more words, an eunuch outside the hall rushed into the hall and jumped at him. The ground said: "Your Majesty, there is news about the princess!"

The emperor suddenly stood up, and suddenly clenched the hand supporting Dou Hui: "Call me quickly!"

In the past few days, the capital city has been clouded with clouds. Princess Puyang was assassinated and her whereabouts are unknown. The emperor was anxious and angry, and had trouble sleeping and eating.

The ministers who were ordered to find out the whereabouts of the princess and investigate the case were being blamed every day. All the officials in the court have been acting with their tails tightly in recent days, lest there be a little bad, and the emperor's anger, which has nowhere to vent, will burn to his head superior.

Among the many anxious people, the ones who feel most anxious are King Zhao and King Jin.

Pu Yang was lost on the way back after Zhao Wang had a banquet. The road was full of blood, and the corpses of the assassin and the princess guards lay on the ground. The weapons used by the assassin had the imprint of Zhao Wang's residence.King Zhao heard that he rushed into the palace to defend himself. The emperor was so concerned about Puyang's safety that he didn't even want to see him. He was confined in the mansion and guarded by the imperial army.

As for the instigator, King Jin, if this matter is not settled, he will have no peace for a day.

The emperor handed over the matter to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple for the same reason, and dispatched soldiers from the five cities and Jinwu Guards to assist. No matter what, the princess must be found!

Princess Puyang was the only direct descendant among the emperor's children. It was obvious to all that the emperor valued her. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple received the edict and went outside the city to investigate without any delay.

In these two places, the criminal department is in charge of investigating cases, and the Dali Temple is in charge of judging cases. They have dealt with treacherous criminals for many years, and they are the most expert in investigating subtle clues.Shangshu and Dali Siqing went outside the city to have a look, and saw the bloody corpses all over the ground, they looked at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

After checking the roster of guards, all the guards were wiped out, and the guards are gone. Can the princess, an unarmed woman, still be alive?

If this matter is not handled well, the official position will be lost, and if it is handled well, it will not be praised. It also involves a prince who is expected to become a great treasure.

The emperor was disturbed by the incident in Puyang, but his shrewdness over the years is still there. In order to avoid anyone from obstructing it, the two people he ordered were neither from Zhao Wang nor attached to Jin Wang, but two who only loyal to Jin. The pure minister of the emperor.

Such a person is the emperor's confidant, he will not be easily moved by money, and his ability is naturally one in a million.After a brief discussion between the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple, he ordered that the men transferred from the five cities' soldiers and horses, together with the miscellaneous servants of the Ministry of Justice, follow the bloodstains and the escape route, and scatter to find them.

One of the two adults is supervising here, and the other is going to find out who did it based on the clues collected at the scene.

There are mountains all around. After crossing the mountains, there are still mountains. The mountain roads are rugged, and it is spring again, and the vegetation is flourishing. Finding someone is not so easy.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a female corpse wearing a princess costume today. The corpse of the female corpse has been destroyed beyond recognition. Because she was wearing a princess costume, the two adults hurriedly reported the matter to the emperor.

After listening to the report from Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the emperor felt dizzy for a while.

Dou Hui supported him, and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, don't panic..." But he dared not say the word "sorry", for fear of hurting the emperor's heart.

The emperor gritted his teeth, calmed his mind, stared at the minister of punishment with red eagle eyes, and said, "Where is the body? I want to check it myself!"

The corpse was already rotten, and when it was carried up to the temple, it was full of stench.That pale yellow dress was exactly what Pu Yang wore at Sunrise Palace that day.The stature of the corpse was similar to that of Puyang.Dou Hui glanced there, then closed his eyes, it should be His Highness the Seventh Prince.

The emperor refused to give up, he pushed Dou Hui away, and walked over by himself step by step, but the ministers all stopped him, worried that the emperor would be stimulated by seeing the princess's miserable state.

The emperor sternly reprimanded: "Everyone back down!"

No one dared to stop it.

The body was there, and the emperor walked over, only to see that her face was completely changed, and she couldn't tell how beautiful she was when she was alive.The emperor bent down and touched her forehead with trembling hands.Seeing this, all the ministers in the palace covered their faces and wept.

However, after a while, the emperor suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Zhao Qing!"

Zhao Yong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, stepped forward anxiously: "Your Majesty?"

"This person is not a princess!" There was a slight smile on the emperor's face, as if seeing the sun through the clouds, the gloom of the past few days was swept away!

Pointing to the earrings on the ears of the corpse, he said, "This is made of copper."

Not only is it made of copper, but there is not even a trace of embellishment, it is unremarkable and unremarkable, and it is more than a star and a half away from the hairpin made of gold and jade, which is carefully carved by craftsmen.No matter what, the princess would never use such clumsy ornaments!

Since this is not a princess, since this person is pretending to be a princess, the princess is probably still alive!

The emperor was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Quick! Check again! I will definitely bring my daughter back safe and sound!"

Seeing that this person is not the princess, Zhao Yong heaved a sigh of relief, knelt down hastily, and agreed.But he didn't get up and leave immediately, but secretly glanced at Dali Siqing Zhang Daozhi.

Zhang Daozhi nodded slightly after receiving his wink.

The emperor turned back and sat back on the throne with a smile on his face. Seeing that Zhao Yong hadn't left, he asked, "Does Zhao Qing have anything else to report?"

Puyang was mostly fine, which made the emperor very relieved, seeing that everyone was a good person, his tone was more than a little soft.

Zhang Daozhi also knelt down, and said in unison with Zhao Yong: "I have found out some clues about the assassin, and I want to report to His Majesty in secret, and I hope His Majesty will agree."

At the same time, in Prince Jin's mansion, there was also a minister reporting the matter.

"What did you say?" King Jin turned pale with shock, "Did Zhang Daozhi find out?"

That minister was an official of Dali Temple, appointed by the King of Jin to inquire about the news in Dali Temple. Today, as soon as he found out, Zhang Dao had left Dali Temple, and he flew towards the Jin Palace.

"Zhengqing has found out about the assassination of His Highness Puyang..." The minister raised his head and glanced at King Jin, then crouched down in panic, "It was His Highness who did it. Right now, I have entered the palace to report to the Holy One!"

A trace of fear flashed across King Jin's face, he forced himself to be calm, stared at the minister and asked, "How did Zhang Daozhi find out?"

He only hoped that the Minister of Dali Temple was only suspicious, and there was no clear evidence yet, so that he could let him defend himself in front of the Holy Master.

The minister trembled and said: "All the assassin's equipment has the imprint of Zhao Wangfu. Zhengqing sent someone to check these imprints, and found that the engraving technique was done by an old craftsman who will be the prisoner. He followed this line to check. Go, only to find that the craftsman is dead..." Afterwards, a series of follow-through, all the way to King Jin.

Even the evidence was found by him.

In Xuande Hall, the emperor dismissed his servants.Zhang Daozhi knelt in the hall, and presented the evidence one by one, and also presented the evidence: "If it is not found out, I dare not speak falsely."

The emperor looked at the evidence carefully, gritted his teeth and said, "This beast!"

The hatred in his eyes was overwhelming, he immediately called Dou Hui, and said: "Go and call King Jin!"

Dou Hui didn't dare to say anything, so he went out to arrange people. He wanted to bring the King of Jin to justice. Although he didn't say that he would send the imperial army to take it, he had to be more cautious and shoot more people who were awake. be on guard.

As soon as Dou Hui came out of the palace, the emperor's gloomy face eased a little, and he said to the two ministers, "This matter is kept secret."

And King Jin paced back and forth in the mansion, trembling with fear.

The minister who tipped the news has gone.The King of Jin invited several of his resourceful staff to come up with a plan, and wanted to come up with a way out, but everyone talked about it, but there was no available plan.King Jin tried his best to reassure himself, but he was also thinking, how should he deal with Father's scolding?

King Jin was very scared, thinking that although King Zhao was still under confinement, he was afraid that he would be able to lift the confinement in a short time, and come to show off his power in front of him, King Jin's eyes darkened.

Is a lot of toil actually asking for death?How could King Jin be willing to do so.

But I really can't find a way to solve it.

Just as King Jin was at a loss, Chang Shi walked into the hall quickly, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Highness, there is a young man outside the door, saying that he has a letter from His Highness Puyang to His Highness in his hand."

Qiniang!King Jin hurriedly said, "Bring him here!"

As soon as Chang Shicai turned around, King Jin rushed out and said, "No! I'll go see him!"

Weixiu's people, aside from others, are prudent, but they have nothing to lose.The King of Jin took the pouch, took out the letter from it, spread it out, and quickly glanced over it with eager eyes, only to see that it read: "Brother Jin Wang: I have taken refuge in the bamboo forest of Mangshan Mountain. I am safe and don't read it. I will report it to you on behalf of the king." Father, Ah Qi handed it in."

The servant stood and saw King Jin's joyful expression. After finishing watching, he said happily, "Heaven will not kill me!"

Several staff members also came out, Jin Wang Commander Shi took the messenger Xiaolang down and gave him property.The servant thanked him, his calm eyes swept over the faces of those staff and King Jin, and he followed Chang Shi down.

King Jin came out of surprise and gradually became suspicious.

Qiniang had no reason to ask him for help.Shouldn't she be looking for King Zhao?Could it be that there are traps in it?

These several staff members were aware of the matter and discussed it together.

Could it be that Qiniang knew that he was instigating this matter, so she used it to blow him up?If it was really him, he would send someone to kill the weeds and roots if he got this handwritten letter. Maybe Mangshan has already set up an ambush, and when he arrives, he will take all the stolen goods.King Jin's eyes darkened.Or is she playing tricks?If she doesn't go to Beijing, she must be injured and can't travel far. She wants to use his hand to report to her father. , he was afraid that there would be no hope of escape.

On the other side of the staff, the result was also discussed.

One of them, Mr. Ye, was the leader among them.He stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, in the opinion of the ministers, send someone to intercept and kill immediately!"

"Oh? Intercept and kill?" King Jin's eyes flashed, and he also thought about it.

The author has something to say: Princess: Sir, Saburo is coming to kill.

Coats: No.

Princess (doubtful): How does Mr. know?

Gao Shi: It depends on his reputation.

Princess: ╰_╯It seems that Mr. knows him very well!

Gao Shi: No matter how much I understand, I can't treat you as well.

Princess: ~(≧▽≦)/~//
