History of Yongwu

Chapter 23 Yang Jing 1 Joins the Network

Fengyue Restaurant

Qin Yu was sitting in the private room, leaning on the railing and looking downstairs. Wang Meng stood beside him, looking around, and finally couldn't help but said, "My lord, this place is too dangerous, or the general will stay inside the house."

"You're not big enough." Qin Yu waved his hands in a relaxed tone.

Alas, Wang Meng shook his head, and hurriedly checked again. If it was an omission, it would not be a joke to hurt King Jin.

After a while, Chief Meng arrived. Hearing that the King of Jin had summoned him, his heart was really hanging in the air.

"See Your Majesty"

"Get up." Qin Yu raised his hand.

"Prince" Meng Changli leaned against the edge of the chair, and asked carefully, "I don't know why I came to see the villain?"

"My king is curious about this case, tell me what you said before from the beginning to the end, and be careful." Meng Changli hurriedly took orders.However, he wondered how many times these things have been said in the past few days, why did King Jin still listen.

Outside the door, there was an alley facing the entrance of the restaurant. In the depths of the alley, the young man said, "Brother, the man surnamed Meng is upstairs in the private room. I'm afraid there is no way to kill him from afar."

"Then we'll go in"

"But I see that he is with another person, what if something goes wrong?"

The eldest brother frowned, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "There is no other way, if that person gets in the way, I will kill him too!"

"yes, Sir"

The two of them touched the weapons they were holding, their expressions collected, and they walked towards the restaurant calmly.

"Guest officers, what would you like to eat?" The waiter greeted him.

"Elegant Room," the young man ordered in a cold voice.

"This way please, sir"

The clerk was in the front all the way, and the two followed behind, looking around calmly, and when they passed by the chief official Meng, the two looked at each other and nodded.

Boom!The clerk was spinning for a while, and then fell down the stairs. The door of the private room was kicked open. Meng Changli looked terrified, and hurriedly backed away.

The eldest brother narrowed his eyes, drew out his dagger and quickly rushed towards Meng Changli, clang!The short blade was blocked, and when he looked up, he saw the rich man in the private room standing in front of him.

"Second Child"

"Yes..." Seeing this, the young man immediately drew out his dagger, and his figure quickly slashed at Qin Yu.

Just for a moment, Chief Meng screamed and fell into a pool of blood. Before the two of them could get away, a sound of breaking wind came from their sides.

"My lord, are you okay?"

Qin Yu clutched his right arm, leaned on the railing, and looked at the two people who were entangled downstairs, "Don't hurt your life, grab a living."

"Yes"

The guards quickly surrounded the two of them and forced them to the center of the hall. The two brothers defended the guards with their backs pressed against each other.

"Brother, what should I do?"

"Brother, it seems that you and I will be here today"

The young man turned his head to look at his eldest brother, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Second brother, my lord is very kind to me, I can't betray my lord, elder brother, I'll go first." After speaking, he wiped the dagger on his neck, blood spurted out, and he fell down in response.

"Brother!" The young man's voice was shrill.

"Stop him quickly!" Qin Yu's eyes twitched, and he hurriedly stopped him.

Poof, another splash of bright red splashed into the air, the young man looked at the elder brother who was lying on the ground, and smiled, "Brother, I will accompany you"

"Bastard, bastard" Qin Yu yelled angrily upstairs, he put in so much effort, he actually made people die.

"My lord, don't be angry, let's take a look at the wound first."

Pushing Wang Meng away, Qin Yu hurried downstairs, stood next to the two of them, stared at them for a long time, shook his head and left.

"Wang Meng, take the corpse away, and wait until the matter is over, so that I can pretend to be buried."

Tingweifu Yamen

"My lord, my lord is not well." The yamen servant ran in from the door in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Gu Lei looked at him and frowned and asked.

"My lord, Fengyue Restaurant was attacked by assassins"

"What!" Gu Lei stood up suddenly, and asked in shock, "How about Chief Meng?"

The yamen servant took a breath and said helplessly, "My lord, you still have time to worry about the chief official Meng. I heard that His Royal Highness King Jin was also there at the time and was seriously injured by the assassin. He is now in the palace."

"King Jin!" Gu Lei screamed, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground in an instant, smashing it into pieces.

This time it was so lively, Gu Lei secretly groaned in his heart, the King Jin would have to make a fuss if he had nothing to do, now that he was injured, what would happen? !

"Prepare the car"

"Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go, the palace!" Gu Lei said angrily.

Gu Lei arrived at the palace in a hurry, and after inquiring, he found out that King Jin was not in the imperial hospital at all, but was moved to the queen mother's palace. He suddenly felt that the difficulty of the matter had risen to a new level.Hurrying to the Changxin Hall, after the eunuch finished reporting, Gu Lei entered the door and took a look, sure enough there was no one who was supposed to come.

In the room, King Jin was lying on the couch, the Queen Mother was watching, and His Majesty was sitting on a chair next to him.Doctor Yushi was standing aside and staring at his toes, and the imperial physicians stepped aside one by one to wait for orders, the air congealed into a ball, making him feel a little stuffy.

"Chen Gu Lei, see the Queen Mother, Your Majesty" Gu Lei lifted his robe and knelt down.

"Let Gu Aiqing live in peace," Emperor Xuan said.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Jin had met an assassin, so I came here to visit him." Gu Lei stood up and said.

Qin Yu was leaning on the pillow and half-sitting on the couch. The Queen Mother helped him pull the quilt. His eyes rolled and he looked at Gu Lei.

"Lord Gu, you came just in time. Although this king failed to protect Chief Meng and capture the assassin alive, he found this from him."

The little eunuch came to Gu Lei with a blood-stained letter in his hand. Gu Lei opened it and was slightly startled. Although it was covered with blood, he could still see the handwriting on the letter. Jing Yiming hangs there brightly, without a trace of ambiguity.

"This is"

"This is obviously Yang Jing's order to kill Meng Changli, which means that Meng Changli's testimony made him feel guilty." Qin Yu looked at him angrily, like a child who was in a rage.

"Your Majesty" before Gu Lei could speak, Kong Guopei took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty Jin's words are wrong. I'm afraid it's wrong to guess an important official of the court based on a letter. It's also possible that someone deliberately framed Mr. Yang."

Kong Guopei was furious that Yang Jingyi was so stupid that he left the assassin in the capital, but the situation did not allow him to think too much, this matter must have been done by King Jin himself, and the purpose was self-evident, so he had to stop it.

"Intentionally framed him, I don't know who deliberately framed him?" Qin Yu said coldly.

"I don't know about this lowly official, but he is a villain with treacherous intentions," Kong Guopei said without raising his eyelids as he stood there.

Qin Yu looked at him and smiled without making a sound. Suddenly, the little eunuch came in and reported, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Jin Wang's deputy general, General Wang, is asking to see you."

"So loyal, let him in," Emperor Xuan said with a smile.

"Last General Wang Meng, see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother"

Emperor Xuan waved him to get up, and said kindly, "Don't worry, General Wang, the sixth brother is fine."

"That's very good." Wang Meng nodded, then bowed and saluted and said, "The general has something to report."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Xuan looked at Wang Meng and asked.

"The last general inspected the assassin's body just now, and found that the last general had seen this person before."

"Where have you seen it?" Qin Yu suddenly sat up.

"The general met these two people when he went to Dongjun. At that time, they were resting in the same shop as the general. The general sat next to them. He heard them say that they were removing something under the order of Lord Yang. The general didn't care. Thinking about it now, it should be to get rid of the chief official Meng," Wang Meng said in a straightforward manner.

Qin Yu squinted in displeasure and said, "It's such a big deal, why are you only thinking about it now?"

"The last general didn't think there was any problem at the time, so he didn't dare to bother the prince, and the prince forgives the sin."

Qin Yu turned his head to Gu Lei again and said, "Master Gu is clear now, it seems that Yang Jingyi is the one who instigated chief official Meng."

"This..." Gu Lei just said a word, but the censor next to him didn't give him a chance. He looked at Wang Meng and asked in a strange tone, "Why did General Wang go to Dongjun?"

"At the end of the day, under the order of the prince, I went to pick up a person to go to Beijing"

"This person is Meng Changli," Kong Guopei asked.

"Exactly," Wang Meng hesitated and said.

Doctor Yushi looked up at Qin Yu, and asked with a sneer, "I don't know how the lord knows that Chief Meng is in Dongjun, why did he send someone to pick him up? Could it be that the case has just started, and the lord knew that Chief Meng would know the secret?"

"Is it difficult to find the chief official Meng in Dongjun? Yang Jingyi can find it, but this king can't? Seeing that His Majesty is concerned about this case, the king has brought all the people involved in the case, not only the chief official Meng, but also the king. Wang Changli, Li Changli, and all the relevant people, although they may not know everything, but they can be regarded as sharing the worries of His Majesty and Lord Tingwei."

His Royal Highness King Jin leaned there, making up his mind to be unreasonable, but Kong Guopei ignored it with a cold face.

"My lord, it would be too hasty to conclude that Yang Jingyi was the assassin who was sent to the East County to kill people just based on the word 'Master Yang'."

"These two people were sent by the surname Yang to silence them. After they failed to silence them, they were killed just after Meng Changli identified Yang Jingyi, and they still carried Yang Jingyi's handwriting. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"If it's a coincidence," Kong Guopei looked at him and said tit-for-tat, "At first, the prince sent someone to pick up the chief official Meng, but he didn't hand him over to the Tingwei Mansion after he came back. Now he was assassinated and died at the hands of the prince. The person who knew the assassin The prince's lieutenant general, and the assassin didn't survive, this is really a coincidence."

"Heh" Qin Yu half leaned on the couch, looking at him, "Master Yushi means that this king has arranged all this, and that this king planted Yang Jingyi? Is this king crazy and sent assassins?" Assassinate yourself? Why do you slander the king so much?"

"I don't dare." Kong Guopei bowed and said to Emperor Xuan, "I just feel that this matter is strange, and I will make a decision after careful investigation, and I can't draw conclusions lightly."

Emperor Xuan frowned and thought for a while, "In that case"

"Since Yu'er was injured, it can be seen that the thief has sinister intentions and must not be tolerated." The Queen Mother suddenly said, looking at Emperor Xuan, said, "Since Yang Qing's family is suspected, then first hand it over to the Tingwei Mansion for investigation. If the assassin is really sent by Yang Qing's family , someone will know, if it doesn't happen, Yang Qing's family can be cleared of the crime, your Majesty, how do you think?"

Emperor Xuan bowed his body and said, "Then follow what your mother said, Gu Aiqing, did you hear that?"

"The humble official takes the order" Gu Lei who stood beside him and had no chance to speak hastily bowed to receive the order.

Everyone retreated, Qin Yu quickly got down from the couch, stood in front of Emperor Xuan and said, "Thanks to the queen mother, otherwise it would have been difficult for His Majesty to order Yang Jingyi to be arrested just now."

Emperor Xuan also smiled and said, "Yes, but this action is too dangerous, and the sixth brother will not want it next time."

"Yes, Yu'er, when Cui'er came to report, the queen mother was scared to death by you." The queen mother frowned and said.

"If you don't report it like that, how can you scare them? This injury is not a hindrance. My son will never have it again." Qin Yu said embarrassingly.

"What should we do now, does the sixth brother think Gu Lei can find out?"

Qin Yu smiled and said to Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty Tingwei is still very capable. Besides, these two assassins are Yang Jingyi's assassins. They won't show their feet. Brother Huang just waits to close the net."

Emperor Xuan nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, the sixth brother should go back and rest earlier."

Qin Yu nodded, bid farewell to the Queen Mother and Emperor Xuan, and then returned home to rest.

Yang Mansion

"Master Gu, what do you mean?" Yang Jingyi looked at the people in front of him and asked.

It's not that he hasn't heard about King Jin's assassination, but Kong Guopei once told him to rest assured that the matter will gradually subside, so he stayed at home and waited for the result, but he didn't expect to wait for Gu Lei.

"Lord Yang, Your Majesty invites you to Tingwei's Mansion to assist in the investigation of the case of Meng Changli's murder and Guan Wenbo's appeasement," Gu Lei said in a business-like manner.

"You are going to take my father away!" Yang Pingfeng screamed from behind.

"Feng'er, don't act rashly, take good care of Feiyan, just go with them for your father." Yang Jingyi tidied up his sleeves, and strode out of the house with his head raised.

Gu Lei looked at Yang Jingyi, who was calm and unhurried, and turned his head to his subordinates, "Come and block the Yang Mansion, and no one related to the Yang Mansion is allowed to be released."

"Yes"

Confucius House

Kong Guopei sat quietly in the study with a gloomy face. He looked at the wall in front of him and remained silent. After a while, he heard footsteps outside the study.

"My lord, you are looking for me"

"Mr. Wang" Kong Guopei looked at him, "Have you heard what happened today?"

In his forties, Mr. Wang was an aide in his mansion. Normally, people like Kong Guopei would not trust anyone, but Mr. Wang was an accident. People in the Kong mansion only knew that there was such a person, but they didn't know how they met.

"I heard that Yang Jingyi was taken away just now, and the entire Yang family was also sealed off," Mr. Wang said calmly.

"What do you think?"

"My lord, Jin Wang spent a lot of time to set up such a situation, so it is not difficult for Gu Lei to find out the relationship between the assassin and Yang Jingyi. Even if there is no Jin Wang, he will let him have it. I am afraid that Yang Jingyi will not be able to get out. "Mr. Wang said respectfully.

Kong Guopei nodded in agreement. Yang Jingyi himself was stupid and didn't deal with the chief official Meng. It would be a pity to die, but he must not let the fire burn himself. He looked at Mr. Wang and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"My lord, who do you think King Jin's goal is from Guan Wenbo to Yang Jingyi, or who he really thinks of?"

"Of course I'm an old man," Kong Guopei replied as a matter of course.

"The villain thinks otherwise, King Jin's goal is not just adults."

"Oh?" Kong Guopei raised his eyebrows and asked.

Mr. Wang took a step forward and continued to say, "If it's just an adult, there's no need to make a fuss about finding out the Dianchenghou case. In my opinion, his real goal is the Lord. He wants to use the adults to lead the Lord out. Even the villain thinks, Adults are not important, as long as you lead the Lord out." Mr. Wang looked serious, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper under the light.

Kong Guopei looked at the front coldly, pondered for a while and said, "From this point of view, Yang Jingyi must be dead, King Jin can only find out here."

Mr. Wang reminded, "Adults still have to think about whether there are omissions, and we must not let Yang Jingyi's death implicate us, or the Lord."

Kong Guopei nodded, as if he was remembering something, but he didn't make a sound. Seeing that he didn't speak, Mr. Wang left the study silently.

The capital city has been a little tense these past few days. Guang Luxun Yang Jingyi was arrested, and the matter involved the dignitaries of the former court. The servants of the Tingwei Mansion were dispatched every day, which made the Confucian party in the court panic.

King Jin's Mansion

"How's Yushi Mansion?" Qin Yu asked.

"Kong Guopei didn't make any movement, he went up and down normally every day, and when he got home, he closed the door and saw no visitors," Wang Meng replied.

It seems that Kong Guopei gave up on Yang Jingyi, so the matter is over. Qin Yu heard that Yang Jingyi would rather die than surrender in prison, but the evidence is so strong that he can't let him quibble, and Lord Guanglu doesn't have much time left.

After this incident, the strength of the Kong Party was greatly reduced, and Kong Guopei had to restrain his edge, and it would be much easier to get rid of it in the future.

"It's finally over." Qin Yu smiled happily, and said to him, "You and I can relax for a while too."

Wang Meng smiled and agreed, "Yes, but my lord has a small matter to tell you."

"What else?"

"In order to save his father, Yang Pingfeng has personally written to His Majesty, requesting a new investigation, firmly believing that his father is innocent."

"Only by him?" Qin Yu sneered.

"My lord, there is an order in the palace to invite you to come over." Xiao Fuzi suddenly entered the door and stood in front of him and said.

Qin Yu nodded, told Wang Meng to continue to observe for a while, got up, changed his clothes, and went out to the palace.

Showa-dono

"Your Majesty, my brother, it's good to see you for a few days." Qin Yu bowed and saluted.

"Sixth brother, how is your injury, go and sit inside." Emperor Xuan waved to him while sitting on the couch.

Qin Yu sat down and replied, "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your concern. A little injury is no longer a problem."

"Then take a look at this." Emperor Xuan handed a folder to Qin Yu, Qin Yu took it and opened it, and after reading it, he said to Emperor Xuan, "What are you going to do, brother?"

"The hearts of scholars in the world are very important to the imperial court. If the scholars are alienated from the imperial court and me because of this, I am afraid it will be detrimental to us."

The memorial is what Wang Meng said. Yang Pingfeng wrote a letter to express his grievances. However, the talented man wrote a letter with great literary talent, and his writing was so eloquent that it made people cry.

Yang Pingfeng is a world-renowned talent and has always been well-known. This kind of person naturally has a large number of admirers and sympathizers, so not only Yang Pingfeng's name is on the memorial, but also hundreds of scholars who signed the letter, many of them are Bachelor of Taixue.

"My brother thinks that His Majesty does not need to worry. The evidence of Yang Jingyi's crime is conclusive. When the crime is announced, the people all over the world will know that His Majesty is impartial, and the court will naturally handle it impartially." Qin Yu smiled, and did not have Emperor Xuan's worries.

"Yang Pingfeng has great appeal among scholars. Although the evidence is solid, if he spreads any messages outside, it will be bad for the government and the public." Emperor Xuan shook his head and disagreed.

Well, Qin Yu frowned slightly, what Brother Huang said seemed to mean something!

"Yang Pingfeng was the teacher of Guan Wenbo, and when Guan Wenbo was imprisoned, Yang Pingfeng inherited the prestige of his teacher. With Yang Pingfeng's reputation, even if Yang Jingyi was sentenced to be executed, someone might write a letter asking to let his son go. If I insist on doing it, I will be persecuted instead." Celebrity's Fame"

It turns out that Yang Pingfeng is not scary, what is scary is the scholastic class he represents, and he has the appeal to the scholastic class.What His Majesty is worried about is that one day Yang Pingfeng will take revenge with his personal hatred and join forces with King Wu and others, which will be very detrimental to the imperial court.

Qin Yu nodded knowingly, raised his eyebrows to look at Emperor Xuan and said, "What if this person no longer has the appeal to scholars?"

"That's nothing to worry about." Emperor Xuan looked at him and asked, "How can we make him lose his prestige?"

"Filial piety is the first thing to do. It is filial piety to write a letter to save your father. What if the filial son is not filial?"

"Then there will be Sixth Brother Lao." Emperor Xuan smiled, with a cold glow in his eyes.
