Your fiancee ran away with someone again

One son of King Jin is a lunatic, but the other son is more like an executioner. He obeys his master and can cut off anyone's head with a sword in his hand.

Even when the sword was pointed at Chu Heng, there was not much hesitation.

Chu Junyu said without emotion, "Last chance." It was also his last reminder to Chu Heng.

Chu Heng raised his hand and held the tip of the sword, smiling all over his face, "Guess, does he have any other sons?"

Chu Junyu's sword moved forward, Chu Heng's palm was pierced, and blood flowed down the sword.

Chu Heng smiled contemptuously, "I thought you were willing to be an executioner who could only kill, and didn't care about anything."

Chu Heng asked again, "If he still has a son, who do you think will die next?"

Chu Junyu was indifferent, "He can't kill me," he was stating the facts.

And Chu Heng is also stating the facts, "You are his dog, you come and go when you are called, and he wants you to die just as an order. There are not many obedient dogs like you in this world."

"It has nothing to do with you," Chu Junyu replied coldly.

"I know it's irrelevant. After all, I can't see that day. I just want to remind you before I die."

Chu Junyu: "You won't die, he just ordered me to cut your tongue."

Chu Junyu withdrew his sword from Chu Heng's hand, still pointing at him, "You have become smarter today, but it's useless."

"Who knows if it's useful or not, and no one knows what a lunatic will do," Chu Heng smiled, but there was only sarcasm in his eyes.

Chu Junyu understood Chu Heng's choice, stepped forward and knocked Chu Heng unconscious, "This way you can save yourself from the pain for a while."

Chu Junyu walked out of the room with the blood-stained sword in his hand, and King Jin was waiting for him in the courtyard.

"He still won't tell?"

Chu Junyu replied, "No."

"Well," King Jin replied without saying anything, turned around and walked forward, while Chu Junyu silently followed.

When he was about to walk back to the courtyard where King Jin himself lived, he stopped and said, "Don't imitate him, be smart, this king doesn't have a third son."

Chu Junyu was slightly stunned, knowing that he had heard the conversation between him and Chu Heng, he cupped his hands, "Yes."

Then King Jin entered the courtyard, and Chu Junyu disappeared without a trace.

He is the son of King Jin, and also his guard, not even a pawn compared to Chu Heng, at least he is the legitimate son of King Jin, living the life that a prince's son should live.

There is only one person in this family who can decide the fate of himself and others. In fact, he and Chu Heng are both pawns, but they have different functions.

……

On this day, when Qi Xun led people to find witnesses and confirmed that there was someone sitting across from Chu Heng in the teahouse the day before yesterday, he hurried to the Prince Jin's mansion again, but was told as soon as he entered the door that Chu Heng was plotted by thieves and had his tongue cut off , From now on, I can't speak, I'm a mute.

Qi Xun not only failed to get any useful news, but was entrusted by the King of Jin to find out the poisoner behind the scenes as soon as possible, and avenge Chu Heng, because the King of Jin suspected that Chu Heng's tongue was sent by the person behind the scenes cut.

Qi Xun didn't know if it was true or not, King Jin refused to let him visit, saying that Chu Heng was overly sad because of this incident, and he was afraid that something would happen if he was questioned again.

However, this matter is not difficult to confirm. Once the King of Jin said that Chu Heng's tongue was cut and he could only be dumb in the future, it meant that Chu Heng would never speak a word in front of people for the rest of his life, otherwise...the consequences would be everyone clear.

Of course, unless the person sitting on the dragon chair at that time was Jin Wang or Chu Junyu, then even if Chu Heng really spoke, others would have nothing to do with him.

Qi Xun left Prince Jin's Mansion with nothing, but ordered people to keep a close eye on Prince Jin's Mansion as soon as he went out, and report any abnormalities immediately.

He doesn't know who cut off Chu Heng's tongue, but judging from King Jin's feigned sadness, they have a plan for this matter, either the tongue was cut off was fake, or the people in the Jin Palace already knew about it. Who is the person who met Chu Heng.

As long as they keep an eye on Prince Jin's Mansion, sooner or later they will find out the truth with the people of Prince Jin's Mansion.

But his next move should be faster, otherwise he would be led by the nose.

Instead, Qi Xun went to find out which high-ranking official in Beijing was in poor health, and whose wife was in poor health. His behavior was a bit confusing.

Check it out, it really makes Qi Xun find out something, it's not someone who is sick, but a lot of brides who come into the house, whether they are regular wives, housekeepers or concubines, the maids around these people are all the same as the people of the Jin Palace. There are past contacts.

Among them, from the second half of last year to the present, the number of generals who married wives and concubines was the largest.

Qi Xun briefly tried it out, and found that many people thought that King Jin was good. Some of them had received help from King Jin, and some learned about it from their wives and concubines. I haven't been brainwashed successfully, and I don't understand the meaning behind it.

So this is a long line, I don't even know how many years it has been laid out.

Qi Xun went to the palace to report the information he found to the emperor. The emperor was not surprised to see the list written in his notebook, but instead praised him, "This uncle is really a smart man with a good eye."

"I don't understand," Qi Xun cupped his hands and asked for instructions.

"Do you know whose subordinates these generals are?"

Qi Xun pondered for a moment, "General Gu, Gu Baichuan."

Gu Baichuan is a man of the emperor, the military generals of the Gu family have always been loyal only to the emperor.

The emperor asked again: "But there are more than these famous military generals in the imperial court. Do you know who is in charge of those who are not on the roster?"

The answer is about to come out.

There were only two generals in the imperial court. Except for Wang Qi who was in charge of the imperial guards, Dayu's hundreds of thousands of troops were in the hands of the two generals Yuan and Gu.

Yuan, Naiyuan Shouguang, the Yuan family is different from the Gu family, the Yuan family has a life-saving grace to the emperor, but it is not the emperor, but the grandfather, who is the grandfather of the emperor.

Because of this life-saving grace, the Yuan family skyrocketed and became the emperor's favored ministers. Also because of his ability to lead troops in battle, Yuan Shouguang's father became a general, holding a tiger talisman in his hand, and commanding an army of 20.

Later, Yuan Shouguang's father resigned, and the first emperor gave Yuan Shouguang the position of general, and the common people called the 20 army Yuan Jiajun.

However, the Yuan family was considered honest, there had been no disturbances for so many years, but no one thought that the Yuan family and the Prince Jin's mansion would get mixed up.

The Son of Heaven seemed to know all of this well, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I've been practicing off stage for so long, I have to give them a chance to perform on stage, I'll wait and see."

"Your Majesty, that is an army of 20 troops," Qi Xun said worriedly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you guessed wrong. If my good uncle really joined hands with the Yuan family, why bother to curry favor with Gu Baichuan's subordinates? The Yuan family is no less ambitious than my uncle."

Qi Xun frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was getting more and more complicated. He was sure that the Yuan family was not hiding behind the Prince Jin's mansion, so either there were three forces wanting to rebel, or the Yuan family joined hands with others.

And the person who is most likely to join forces with the Yuan family is the person behind the scenes, that is to say, the other party has military power in their hands, so...

Not only is the situation complicated, but what I am most afraid of is that it will not end well in the future, and I don't know how many people will die in such a struggle for power.

The emperor seemed to see what Qi Xun was thinking, "My throne will not let them touch the throne, and my army knows who they really should be loyal to," this is the confidence of the emperor.

Qi Xun knelt down, "The Qi family swears allegiance to the emperor to the death!"

"Get up, I don't need anyone kneeling in front of me and shouting to be loyal to me, I just look at what you have done."

After Qi Xun got up, the emperor asked him to step down, and he didn't say whether he should continue to investigate the matter of Prince Jin's courtship of generals in private.

After Qi Xun left, Duo Fu came to serve tea. Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Duo Fu boldly asked, "The emperor looks very happy."

The Son of Heaven said: "I should be happy, the truth is in front of me, I hope Qi Xun will not disappoint my expectations."

There are too many orioles, and there are also many praying mantises, but there is only one cicada, and now they are fighting over who can eat that cicada.

Don't you know that cicadas are not ordinary cicadas, they have grown wings and are still waiting to eat orioles.

"Blessings, when King Xuan Jin entered the palace, his cousin became dumb, so I should also care about the emperor's uncle."

Duo Fu bowed and said, those who are too ambitious and want to rebel probably haven't seen the situation clearly. The emperor has been on the throne for five years, and he has already established a firm foothold, and his eyes and ears are all over Dayu.

Who can escape his eyes.

……

Qi Xun, who was walking outside the palace, also realized that things became clearer, and there was another direction to check, that is who the Yuan family had the most frequent contacts with.

The things he is investigating may not necessarily find the results he wants, but there will be unexpected results. This result will point to the next clue. If you follow the line of the Yuan family, you will be closer to the truth.

The person holding the thread is what he's looking for.

Qi Xun guessed that the emperor already knew who was behind it, not to mention that he needed evidence, all he could find would become evidence, which made it easier for the emperor to deal with these people with ulterior motives in a legitimate way.

Qi Xun got busy again, going out before dawn every day, and returning home when it was completely dark.

Muting's restaurant has reopened for business, and there are many fewer diners than the first day, but it is not deserted.

The common people's fear of the dead in the teahouse has almost dissipated, but because the case has not been closed, it has become their gossip, guessing who did it, and the most popular point of view is that the Prince Jin's mansion "guards and steals itself".

King Jin's mansion was put on fire like this, which also made King Jin have to go to the palace every day to prove his innocence to the emperor.

Believe it or not, the emperor said that there are more and more rumors in Beijing about the assassination of the emperor by the king of Jin with the intention of rebellion, and he is really forcing the king of Jin to make a decision.

Obviously it was spring and warm people, but many people looked at it and felt that the storm was about to come, and the capital was going to be in chaos.

When Qi Xun found out the evidence of the relationship between the Yuan family and the people behind the scenes, someone proposed in the court hall that the emperor should hold a birthday banquet for the empress dowager.
