Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path
Chapter 699 Assassin
"What did I lie to you?" Yu Wenhong looked at Li Xu and asked.
He could feel that Li Xu was not lying, but why did the other party say that he lied to them as soon as they met?
"Second prince, you said you would let us go, but in the end, you actually let us go, but secretly sent someone to arrest us!"
Li Xu said angrily: "I came back today to kill you, a dishonest person!"
"You don't want to spout blood. His Royal Highness the Second Prince will do what he says. If he says he will let you go, he will really let you go!"
Yun Shan on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and watched Li Xu retort angrily.
Yu Wenhong's reputation is unquestionable, and Yunshan has been with Yu Wenhong for many years, so how could he not be clear.
Seeing Li Xu's slander now and again, how could Yunshan bear it.
Yu Wenhong didn't get angry because of Li Xu's accusation. His first reaction was that Wu Dayang of the Imperial City Command Office was in violation of the law and did not release him as he ordered.
"Call Wu Da to come to the house!" Yu Wenhong ordered.
Yu Wenchang issued an explicit order to deal with this person, and handed it over to Yu Wenhong.
If Wu Da dared to obey his orders and disregard his orders, then don't blame him for being rude!
Wu Da came very quickly. Yu Wenhong's current status should not be underestimated. Anyone with a discerning eye knows how much Yu Wenchang thinks highly of him. Hearing Yu Wenhong's summons, Wu Da immediately brought someone over.
"Your Highness the Second Prince." Wu Da greeted Yu Wenhong.
"Li Xu said you didn't release him?" Yu Wenhong asked the crux of the matter without talking nonsense.
Seeing the two of them, Li Xu realized that this incident might have nothing to do with Yu Wenhong.
Otherwise, Yu Wenhong could have dealt with him directly instead of calling Wu Da to inquire.
Li Xu knew his identity very well. He was such a small person, so he wouldn't bother the Second Prince and the Secretary of the Imperial City to play tricks to deceive him.
Therefore, Li Xu set his sights on Wu Da, wanting to know the answer.
As a result, Wu Da was stunned when he heard this.
"Second prince, I let you go!"
Wu Da came back to his senses and said: "No one will embarrass those martial arts people when I personally give the order."
"fart!"
Li Xu pursed his lips, looked at Wu Da angrily and said, "The night you gave the order, everyone was drugged and taken away. I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Nonsense, how could I do such a thing!"
The veins on Wu Da's forehead bulged, and Yu Wenhong was insulted in front of him, how could he not be angry.
"Did you see it with your own eyes? Tell me, what did you see?"
Yu Wenhong narrowed his eyes, realized that something was wrong, looked at Li Xu and asked.
"That day, after Wu Da gave the order, everyone was very happy and decided to leave after a night's rest!"
Seeing Yu Wenhong's inquiry, Li Xu suppressed his anger and told what he saw that day.
It turned out that most of the people decided to have a good rest in the inn that night and then leave early the next morning.
It's just that Li Xu was thinking about his girlfriend in the brothel, and thinking that he might not see him again, so he wanted to go to Chisa for the last night.
In the evening, he came out of the brothel, secretly preparing to go back to the inn.
As a result, he found someone coming out of the inn. Li Xu was shocked, and immediately held his breath to hide his breath, hiding in the dark and not daring to move.
It wasn't until the second day when people came and went on the street that Li Xu entered the inn.
As a result, the inn was empty, with no one left, especially his two older brothers, which made Li Xu very anxious.
Li Xu's first reaction was that Yu Wenhong regretted it, so during this time, he has been wandering outside the Second Prince's Mansion, looking for an opportunity to enter the Prince's Mansion to find news about his brothers.
As a result, this person was caught by the shadow guard as soon as he came in.
"Since you saw that group of people, did you see where they went?" Yu Wenhong frowned and asked.
"The martial arts of those people are superior to mine, I dare not follow, I only know that they are heading northwest..."
And the Second Prince's Mansion is just to the northwest of the inn, so it's no wonder that he suspected Yu Wenhong at first.
"Northwest?" Yu Wenhong narrowed his eyes.
"When something like this happened, why didn't you come and report to us afterwards?" Wu Da asked angrily.
That group of martial arts practitioners had hundreds of people in total, and all of them disappeared, which is definitely a big case.
Wu Da is the Secretary of the Imperial City, and he is responsible for protecting the safety of Dongfeng Mansion. So many people have disappeared, so he must bear the responsibility.
If Li Xu had come to tell him then, Wu Da might have been able to find some clues.
However, it has been so long now, even if there are clues, all of them are probably broken.
"I, I thought it was you..."
Seeing the expressions of the two, Li Xu was not sure what was going on for a while, and said with a guilty conscience: "I thought you did it, how dare you come to you..."
"The second prince is a prince, and I'm also an imperial secretary. Since I agreed to release him, is it necessary to lie to you?!" Wu Da said angrily.
"Didn't you see the true colors of that group?" Yu Wenhong didn't care about the quarrel between the two, and asked Li Xu.
"They are all masked, the other party's martial arts are superior to mine, I dare not go over..."
Li Xu is very aware of his own strength. Although he has reached the rank of warrior, he is the lowest existence among warriors.
One thing about his martial arts is very special, that is, he can hold his breath very well. At that time, in order to avoid the patrolling police, he always hid in the dark and held his breath.
That's why it wasn't discovered by the inspecting Jingheng.
It's just that Li Xu is not stupid. From the lightness of the man in black, it can be seen that he is not the opponent's opponent, so he didn't dare to show his head at that time, he only dared to hide all the time.
"Second prince, hundreds of people are missing, and they are those from the Sima family. This matter is not small. The officials think that they have to be reported to the emperor."
Wu Da was worried that these people would be recruited by the people left behind by the Sima family to do rebellion. He looked at Yu Wenhong with a serious expression and said.
"Well, it's fine for Mr. Wu to make the decision." Yu Wenhong nodded slightly, and had no objection to this.
It's just that this matter seems to have no clue, but Yu Wenhong has some thoughts and guesses in his heart.
……
"Those martial arts figures are missing?"
Chu Zhuang looked at Yu Wenhong with a surprised expression.
"Well, Li Xu sneaked into the mansion last night and was caught."
Yu Wenhong nodded and told Chu Zhuang what happened last night.
"At night, transport people to the northwest?"
Chu Zhuang pondered for a while, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered.
"Chu Zhuang, you guessed it too, right?" Yu Wenhong looked at Chu Zhuang's expression and knew that this matter could not be hidden from him.
"Is it the prince?"
Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and expressed his guess.
To the northwest of the inn is Yongyi Lane, and further north is the direction of the East Palace and the Imperial Palace.
The people living in Yongyi Lane are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. There are many masters in these people's houses. They transported people here, and it is possible to hide one or two people, but it is impossible to hide a few hundred people.
Therefore, the people in Yongyi Lane who went there can basically rule out the suspicion.
Then only the East Palace and the Imperial Palace are left.
In the palace, Yu Wenchang is busy right now, so it's possible that he would put his mind on such a group of martial arts figures, and it's impossible for the queen mother, who doesn't have the ability.
Basically ruled out the suspicion.
If these two points are excluded, only the East Palace will be left in the end.
There is a secret road leading to Xiangguo Temple in the East Palace. They can bypass Yongyi Lane and enter through the side door of the East Palace, and then send people out of the city through the secret road.
Only this point can smoothly make these hundreds of people disappear from Dongfeng Mansion without making a sound.
"I guess it's him too, there's no one else but him."
Yu Wenhong nodded, looked at Chu Zhuang and asked, "But why is he arresting these people?"
These are all from the Sima family. Even if Yu Wenjing wanted to recruit experts, he wouldn't stare at these people, would he?
Especially if you still use this method, are you not afraid that they will leak the secret of the Secret Path?
"Jing Heng has practiced a kung fu method, and he needs to absorb other people's kung fu to enhance his kung fu." Chu Zhuang reminded.
Chu Zhuang needless to say the function of these people being arrested, Yu Wenhong also knew what it was for.
They didn't want to recruit these people at all, but to absorb their skills!
And after these people have absorbed their skills, they have no use value.
If you kill people directly, you don't have to worry about them revealing the secret of the secret channel.
"It's been so long, and I don't know how many people they killed. They must be rescued quickly!"
Yu Wenhong frowned tightly, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
It's just that although they now guessed that Jing Heng did it, they have no proof.
How to go to Xiangguo Temple to save people?
"What does the emperor say?" Chu Zhuang asked.
"Wu Da reported it to the royal father today, and the royal father ordered Wu Da to investigate thoroughly." Yu Wenhong shook his head slightly.
Wu Dada is still investigating the Dongfeng mansion like a headless chicken.
By the time he finds someone, I'm afraid they will all be dead.
"There are so many people in the East Palace, they must be hiding in the Xiangguo Temple."
Chu Zhuang looked at Yu Wenhong and said, "If we want to rescue him, it seems we have to go to Xiangguo Temple."
"However, Xiangguo Temple is a national temple, there is no reason, even Wu Da and I can't go directly to search for it." Yu Wenhong shook his head and said.
"Why is there no reason? Isn't Li Xu a good witness?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Zhuang's lips, he looked at Yu Wenhong and said.
"Li Xu?" Yu Wenhong frowned, then stretched his brows, looked at Chu Zhuang and said, "You mean..."
"If there is no evidence, then we will create evidence ourselves!" Chu Zhuang nodded and said.
He could feel that Li Xu was not lying, but why did the other party say that he lied to them as soon as they met?
"Second prince, you said you would let us go, but in the end, you actually let us go, but secretly sent someone to arrest us!"
Li Xu said angrily: "I came back today to kill you, a dishonest person!"
"You don't want to spout blood. His Royal Highness the Second Prince will do what he says. If he says he will let you go, he will really let you go!"
