So far, all the evidence shows that the person behind the assassination of the prince is King Cheng.

"Lian Song's torture can't be wrong, unless the assassin's willpower is really strong or he is restrained by others for some reason, so he deliberately diverts troubles and blames him to become a king."

Minister of the Criminal Ministry Yang Xun reported the findings of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to the expressionless Qin Houde: "But apart from the assassin's torture, the ministers also found something else - the bottom of the dagger used by the assassin to injure the prince that day was made in Quzhou. Engraved."

So, this dagger was made in Quzhou?

As soon as Yang Xun's words came out, all the officials who turned their heads a little faster had already thought of the matter of the Quzhou bandits before.After the bandit incident was disclosed, those who cared naturally noticed that the number of privately manufactured weapons in Quzhou in those years was far greater than the number of weapons found in Lin Zheng Villa.

what does this mean?

——It means that there are many weapons that are wandering outside without knowing their whereabouts.And these weapons, perhaps one day in the future, will help those who are willing to do some illegal things.

The day Xie Zhao came back from Quzhou, beating the drum for grievances and publicly exposing the incident seemed to have happened yesterday.

Although in the end Jia Yongshao, Minister of the Ministry of War, pleaded guilty, and Lin Ye and the generals of the Sixteenth Guards were able to prove their innocence, but those who were a little more sensitive realized that King Cheng had something to do with this matter.

Many people secretly speculate that Jia Yongshao took the blame for King Cheng, but because King Cheng is the son of the Holy Majesty after all, although everyone believes that this matter is inseparable from the bottom of their hearts, they still pretend to be stupid on the surface, and only take it for this matter It was all made by Jia Yongshao, a minister of the Ministry of War.

Originally thought that the incident in Quzhou was over, but unexpectedly it has been almost a year, and this incident is actually related to the assassination of the prince.

Now everyone was muttering in their hearts for a while: Could it be that King Cheng really did it?Of course this is not impossible, maybe Cheng Wang died holding the prince, and he was the only heir?If this is the case, even if King Cheng ascends to the throne, he will surely be charged with killing his elder brother for a long time.

But if King Cheng was just blamed, then who would be the one who blamed him?

Xie Zhao stood with Pei Shaonan, and after hearing Yang Xun's words, he couldn't help bumping Pei Shaonan's arm.

Meeting Pei Shaonan's gaze, he asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Pei Shaonan knew what he was talking about.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Xu Yixin, a trace of gloom flashed across his eyes.After a pause, he replied to Xie Zhao: "Master Xie and I should have the same thoughts."

This throws the question back again.A watertight answer.

Xie Zhao glanced at his mouth, thinking that this person was really boring.He looked at Qin Houde, who frowned slightly and tapped the chair with his right index finger, and gradually had his own answer in his heart.

Pei Shaonan said that he and Xie Zhao should have the same thoughts.

What Xie Zhao thought was: Is the victim really the victim, and the perpetrator really the perpetrator?When someone hurriedly put all the evidence in front of them to force people to believe, Xie Zhao felt that things might not be that simple.

Although Cheng Wang is not a smart person, he should not be so stupid.

It is obvious that Qin Houde also thinks so.

After Yang Xun finished speaking, everyone thought that Qin Houde would definitely punish Cheng Wang, but Qin Houde only thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said lightly: "I also know Cheng Wang's temperament, this matter has nothing to do with him."

He said to Yang Xun: "Your Ministry of Punishment will check again, if you really can't find it, let it go."

Can't find it?

The prince of a country is assassinated, can it be so easy to say if he can't find out?

For a moment, everyone couldn't figure out what Qin Houde said: is the Holy Majesty just trying to cover up King Cheng, or does he really think that this matter has nothing to do with King Cheng?If it is really impossible to find out, the prince's injury will be in vain?

Xu Yixin couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the prince's injury—?"

He is the uncle of the prince.Now that the crown prince has been put together, seeing that Qin Houde doesn't intend to catch the people behind the scenes, he is of course more unconvinced than anyone else.

Regardless of whether it was done by King Cheng or not, since the crown prince was injured, it would be really uneconomical not to bite off a bite of King Cheng.

Qin Houde looked at Xu Yixin with a smile that was not a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, does this feel sorry for the crown prince?"

He snorted, "Don't forget that I am the father of the prince. If something happened to the prince, I, the father, will be more angry than others."

This made the officials look weird.

Everyone thought to themselves, you can't see how angry you are, your own son was assassinated, and you rushed back but didn't even plan to look for the real murderer seriously.I don't know how chilling the prince will be when he wakes up and knows everything.

But Qin Houde is the emperor after all, he said it's fine if he can't find it, and the ministers will not take the initiative to stand up for the prince and force him to punish the murderer for the prince.

It is better for ordinary people to stay away from royal matters.

Afterwards, Xie Zhao and Pei Shaonan said, "I still don't understand why he did that."

Who is this "he", Xie Zhao didn't say clearly, but Pei Shaonan quickly understood.

He said meaningfully: "Of course it is good for me, so I chose to take a risky move."

Not long after, the news of the prince's assassination, which had been tightly sealed before, suddenly spread like a gust of wind.

People in the capital live and work in peace and contentment, and love to talk about gossip.Coupled with the fact that this matter involved royal secrets, the common people became more and more curious.For some reason, as if overnight, not only did everyone in the capital know that the prince had been assassinated, but they also knew that the assassin was sent by King Cheng.

Although Jing Zhaoyin soon sent people to suppress these rumors, the more they suppressed, the more the people believed it.

Many people don't know too much about the twists and turns in the officialdom. They only know that the prince they saw in the past was gentle and friendly, but the king became evil.It is not inconceivable that Cheng Wang, who has always had a bad reputation, would do such a thing.

When Xie Zhao and Pan Yue went to drink tea in Yuanniang's teahouse, they heard Mr. Hu vividly talking about the thrilling scene of the prince being assassinated that night, and they couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts: "That man really stepped on people in the mud. I have to crush people several times, wishing I could crush them directly to the [-]th floor of hell."

Pan Yue couldn't understand his nonsensical words, and asked curiously, "What are you muttering about?"

Xie Zhao withdrew his gaze, waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, let's drink tea."

Jingyi, who sneaked away, obviously didn't know anything about these things that happened in the capital.

She ran out with Ziwan and a guard named Tao Jiang, and ran to the border town named Yanding all night long.Even though she didn't know anything about what happened in the court, she knew that both Liao Yuan and Xie Jiajun were stationed in Yanding.

Of course, Liao Qingfeng would also be there.

Jingyi knew Qin Houde's character, and also knew that Qin Houde would definitely send someone to take her back after she found out that she was missing, so after sneaking out, she dared not stop for a moment, and after hiring a carriage, she went to Yanding day and night. and go.

Not only the two little girls Jingyi and Ziwan couldn't stand this rush, but even Tao Jiang, who was a man, couldn't bear it later.

Tao Jiangyuan thought that Jingyi would not be able to bear the hardships of running around, but unexpectedly the spoiled little princess gritted her teeth and persisted. She was so tired that her back hurt, but she still urged him to speed up.

Zi Wan said with a bitter face more than once during the journey: "Princess, are we really going to find Mrs. Liao?"

Of course I want to go, the matter has come to this point, there is no turning back.

Jingyi pretended to be calm: "When I get to Yanding, I will die there. Even if my father's people come, I will never leave. Unless, unless..."

Zi Wan asked: "Princess, unless what?"

Jingyi sniffed, forcing back the tears that were about to reach her eyes.She said aggrieved in a low voice: "Unless Liao Qingfeng really has a girl he likes, I will never go back."

How could someone who likes it so much give up.

The journey to Yanding was not as smooth as imagined.

Jingyi grew up in the capital, well-clothed and well-fed, and all the people she came into contact with were bureaucrats and literati, and everyone treated her politely.But after she left the imperial city and her identity as a princess, she realized that there is another side that is not bright in this world.

Taking a break in a small border town, Jingyi didn't cry when all the money was stolen by a group of little beggars.She cheered up and pawned her favorite gold-studded jade lotus hairpin, and exchanged it for silver money to continue to provide food and shelter for the three masters and servants on the road.

During the journey, there was a heavy rain, the wheels were stuck in the mud, and when the carriage was trapped in the wild, Jingyi did not cry.She didn't care about her princess status at all, and even braved the rain to push the carriage out of the mud pit with Tao Jiang.

No matter what she encountered, Jingyi gritted her teeth and faced it. Even if she knew that the road ahead would be rough and full of wind and rain, she would not return to the capital, to that comfortable nest.

For this dream when she was young, she was desperate and forged ahead.

Jingyi originally thought that she was not afraid of anything.But this night, when she woke up in the middle of the night and found that she was in a strange carriage, and in the carriage were other strange and beautiful girls who were sleepy, Jingyi finally panicked.

Both hands and feet were tied with rough ropes, Jingyi could only bump into the sleeping Ziwan, and called her in panic: "Ziwan, Ziwan, wake up, where are we?"

She remembered that they found an inn in this small town near Yanding last night and stayed in it. It stands to reason that they should be in the inn now. How could they appear in an unfamiliar carriage?

Jingyi didn't wake up Ziwan, but first caught the attention of the people outside the carriage.

The curtain was lifted, and an old woman with a kind face came in and said with a gentle smile, "Young lady is awake." Her eyes could be called gentle, but what she said surprised Jingyi: "If the young lady doesn't want to be abused by the old If you feed the sweat medicine, then sit down obediently, otherwise if you wake up the other girls, then don't blame the old man for not being sympathetic."

This old woman is naturally the proprietress of the inn.

Even though Jingyi didn't know much, she realized at this moment that she lived in a black shop last night.

She was flustered, but the dignity of being a princess for many years still prevented her from lowering her head.She straightened her back, glared at the old woman fiercely with her beautiful clear eyes, and asked, "Where is Tao Jiang? What did you do to Tao Jiang?"

"That young man must still be sound asleep. He should be glad that we only have beautiful girls."

The old lady replied cheerfully, walked up to Jingyi, pinched Jingyi's chin and looked at it carefully.Those greasy eyes made Jingyi feel uncomfortable.

The old woman smiled and said, "With such a good appearance and figure, I'm sure it will fetch a good price."

Jingyi was startled, she said harshly: "Where are you going to sell us?"

The old woman took it for granted, "Of course it's where pretty girls should go."

Jingyi suddenly struggled, and said sharply: "Presumptuous, let me go! Do you know who I am! I am the only princess in Dayu! If you dare to disrespect me, I will let the emperor cut you five horses!"

This remark was obviously taken by the old lady as a big joke.

She bent down, and suddenly gave Jingyi a slap in the face, and said with cold eyes: "You look good, but your mind is a little stupid, and your mouth is noisy." She squatted in front of Jingyi, smiled slightly: "If the girl I don’t want my good voice, and I don’t mind taking it away. You should know that some noble people like it now.”

This slap made Jingyi's eyes go black.

She came back to her senses, ignoring the burning pain on her face, her black and white eyes were ignited by anger, and became brighter and brighter.

Jingyi scolded: "You vicious woman, you must die!"

The noise made the old lady have a headache, and she went up to slap Jingyi's other half of the face.

This time the attack was more ruthless, Jingyi was beaten for a long time and could not speak, and the taste of blood tasted in her mouth.

She regained her composure and did not admit defeat. Instead, she looked at the old woman coldly and said with a sneer, "When the rescuer comes, none of you will be able to escape."

What a naive girl.

The old woman sighed: "Silly boy, you have come to this point, do you still think that someone will come to save you?"

"Will do."

Jingyi gritted her teeth tightly and stared at her stubbornly: "I know someone will come to save me."

The old woman laughed out loud, and was just about to teach the girl a lesson, when suddenly she heard the companion on the horse outside shouting anxiously: "It's not good, someone seems to be chasing me from behind!"

Is someone really coming?

The old woman glanced at Jingyi in surprise, knowing that the situation was urgent, she ignored Jingyi and hurriedly walked out of the carriage.

Everything after that was like a dream.

In this terrible dream, Jingyi was taken away by the bad guys, and then the person she was thinking of fell from the sky, like an omnipotent hero, saving her from the bad guys.

Jingyi stared blankly at the handsome young man riding on the horse with a frozen expression in the moonlight, her heart seemed to be overflowing with joy.

This is the person she likes, the person she wants to meet after traveling thousands of miles.

"Follow the vine, and take out all their lairs."

The long sword was sheathed with a crisp sound.Liao Qingfeng ignored the trafficker who was stabbed in both legs and wailed, and calmly ordered his subordinates.After hearing the reply from his subordinate, he met the dazed gaze of the little girl not far away.

The ropes on Jingyi's hands and feet had already been untied, and she was standing by the carriage at this moment, looking over without moving.

Liao Qingfeng walked up to her, noticed the conspicuous red palm prints on the little girl's white face, and couldn't help frowning.But he still didn't make a sound to comfort him. Instead, he looked down at the little girl and said calmly: "The princess has had enough fun this time. The next official will send someone to send the princess back to Beijing immediately."

The joy in my heart was quenched by a bucket of cold water.

Jingyi's lips trembled, and she looked at Liao Qingfeng hurtfully: "You think I'm here to play?"

Although Liao Qingfeng has not been in Yanding for a long time, he has changed a lot.

Looking at him, Jingyi vaguely felt that he seemed to be more mature, with resolute brows and eyes, and Liao Qingfeng, who was no longer wearing the crimson robes of the Jinwu Guard, seemed to have shed his childishness in an instant.

She looked at Liao Qingfeng, and the tears she had endured all the way finally couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.

Before Liao Qingfeng could react, Jingyi had already thrown herself into Liao Qingfeng's arms, and suddenly burst into tears like a child.

She sobbed and said, "I'm already like this, and you actually think I'm here to play...I've suffered so much along the way, and I was almost sold out...I'm already like this, you still don't understand Why did I come..."

The waist was surrounded by people, and the clothes on the chest were wet with the hot and humid tears of the little girl.

Liao Qingfeng's body was stiff, and he didn't know where to put his hands.Glancing at the subordinates who were watching the excitement, he stumbled and asked, "Princess, what does this mean?"

Jingyi was still crying.

As if she wanted to cry all the grievances along the way, she couldn't stop crying.

Liao Qingfeng curled up his fingers, and finally patted Jingyi's back hesitantly, and comforted him awkwardly: "Princess, everything is over, don't cry."

Some people cried louder the more they were persuaded.

Obviously, Jingyi is such a person.

Liao Qingfeng had no choice but to use his trump card.

He gently pushed Jingyi away, and took out the gold inlaid jade lotus hairpin from his arms and handed it to Jingyi: "Next time, the princess should not pawn such a valuable personal item."

This hairpin is exquisitely crafted, and it is thanks to this hairpin that Liao Qingfeng was able to find Jingyi so quickly.

She even redeemed her favorite hairpin... How could such a person not like it.

With red eyes, Jingyi whispered something to Liao Qingfeng.

Although she spoke in a low voice, Liao Qingfeng had a keen ear and could still hear her clearly. As if struck by lightning, he stood there in a daze, looking back at her with eyes full of disbelief.

The little girl said: "Liao Qingfeng, I have liked you for many years...don't chase me away, okay?"

Do not make jokes.

Liao Qingfeng twitched the corners of his mouth, just about to say this, but when he saw Shang Jingyi's serious eyes and the red marks on his face, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

——Princess Jingyi seems to be for real.

Realizing this, Liao Qingfeng blinked, and suddenly felt that something big had happened to him.

The author has something to say: the server crashed again just now, and I almost couldn't post it. Fortunately, I tried a few more times.

I wanted to send it before twelve o'clock to wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day. Damn it, I'm one step late T┲ I shouldn't write too many scenes about Lord Liao and the princess. After all, the protagonists are Lord Xie and His Highness.What I want to write should also be placed in the extra episode, don't worry?
