Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

When the fourth prince heard that Jia Lian was assassinated and injured, he felt very uncomfortable, and was very angry that the officials in Jinling did not protect Jia Lian.He clearly ordered them to protect Jia Lian and not put Jia Lian in danger, but they still failed to protect Jia Lian.

"My lord, it may not be easy for Mr. Jia to be assassinated and injured." Lin Shaoxiong looked thoughtful, "It is very likely that someone from the eldest prince deliberately assassinated Mr. Jia, and then framed us."

The fourth prince frowned slightly, and tapped his index finger on the table lightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"It shouldn't be the elder brother's person."

Hearing this, Lin Shaoxiong slightly opened his eyes wide, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Isn't someone from the First Prince? How is it possible?"

The fourth prince stood up, walked to the window, looked towards the south with both eyes, and said indifferently: "Boss and I both understand that the emperor sent Jiang Qingyun to the south of the Yangtze River this time for disaster relief for a different purpose, to test us. And Jia Lian is The emperor specially sent him to the south of the Yangtze River to assist in disaster relief, the eldest brother is not stupid, he will not be so stupid as to touch Jia Lian and make the emperor angry."

Lin Shaoxiong felt that the fourth prince's words made sense, and frowned suspiciously: "If someone who is not the first prince assassinates Mr. Jia, who would it be?"

The fourth prince also wondered who was the one who was cruel to Jia Lian, and after thinking about it for a few days, he still had no clue.

"Continue to investigate until the end."

"From the news sent by Jinling, it is only known that the person who assassinated Mr. Jia was a dead man, but there is no identity left behind."

"Dead warriors?" The fourth prince looked thoughtful, "Don't just check the dead warriors in Jinling, but also check the dead warriors in the capital, and find out which family's dead warriors have moved recently."

"Yes, my lord!"

"No matter who it is, whoever touches this king, this king will never let him go!" The fourth prince's face was sullen, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, a respectful voice sounded from the outer door of the study: "My lord, the King of Beijing has arrived."

The fourth prince suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and his face regained his calm expression, "Let him in!"

"My lord, this subordinate will leave." Lin Shaoxiong withdrew wisely.

The fourth prince nodded, signaling Lin Shaoxiong to back down.

As soon as Lin Shaoxiong walked to the door, he met Shui Rong who was walking over, and quickly saluted: "See Prince Jing."

"Get up."

"Thank you, my lord, this subordinate will leave." Lin Shaoxiong walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, looked back at the study, saw Shui Rong walked in and closed the study door, with a complicated expression on his face, and sighed softly in his heart Tone, the lord and the king of Beijing... If the matter of the lord and the king of Beijing is known, the lord will never become the prince.

Lin Shaoxiong shook his head, put away his thoughts, raised his feet and left.He still doesn't care about the prince's private affairs, he should hurry up and investigate the murderer who assassinated Master Jia.

After Shui Rong walked into the study, he did some exercise with the fourth prince.Sitting on the fourth prince's lap, leaning against the fourth prince's arms, his face was blushing, panting slightly, with a soft voice: "Fourth brother, are you in a bad mood?" Shui Rong is very sensitive to the fourth prince's emotions , from the exercise just now, it is obvious that the fourth prince is in a bad mood.

The fourth prince lowered his head and lightly pecked his red and swollen lips, his voice was a little hoarse: "It's not good."

"Fourth brother, what happened?" Shui Rong actually knew why the fourth prince was in a bad mood, but he just didn't want to admit it.

"The murderer who assassinated Jia Lian has not been found yet."

Hearing the name Jia Lian, Shui Rong's eyes suddenly darkened, and a look of gloom flashed across his eyes, it really was because of Jia Lian!

"Why haven't you found it yet? Didn't the eldest brother do it?" That group of trash didn't kill Jia Lian!

"It shouldn't be done by someone from Big Brother."

"How is it possible?" Shui Rong pretended to be surprised and said, "Only Big Brother has this motive."

"Brother sending someone to assassinate Jia Lian will not do him any good."

"That's not certain." Shui Rong said, "Maybe Jia Lian did something in Jinling to hinder the elder brother's people, and the elder brother's people beat him hard." The fourth brother cares so much, Jia Lian must not stay!That group of trash didn't kill Jia Lian, so Jia Lian must be killed this time!

"Jia Lian is highly valued by his father, the eldest brother will not be so stupid as to attack Jia Lian." The fourth prince still felt that the eldest prince was not the mastermind behind the assassination of Jia Lian.

"The fourth brother thinks who is going to attack Jia Lian?"

"I don't know." The fourth prince couldn't guess who attacked Jia Lian.

"I still think it was done by Big Brother's people." Shui Rong insisted.

"Who did it, the result should be soon." The fourth prince frowned slightly, and sighed softly, "Fortunately, Jia Lian was lucky this time, and nothing happened, otherwise..." The fourth prince's words have not yet come. After finishing speaking, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Seeing how the fourth prince cared about Jia Lian, Shui Rong was filled with jealousy and anger, which almost made him unable to maintain the gentle expression on his face.He hurriedly buried his face in the fourth prince's neck, put his lips against the fourth prince's ear, and deliberately blew hot air and said, "Fourth brother, why do you care about Jia Lian, I will be jealous..."

The fourth prince's eyes suddenly deepened, he stretched out his hand to pinch his water-soluble chin, rubbed his index finger ambiguously against his water-soluble red and swollen lips, and smiled softly: "How jealous are you? Jia Lian can't compare with you."

"Fourth brother seems to like Jia Lian very much."

"I really like him very much. After all, he is talented and he is highly valued by his father."

"Is it just like that?" The fourth brother's words were obviously deceiving him.

The fourth prince deliberately pretended to be displeased and raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, what else?"

Shui Rong smiled obediently at the fourth prince: "Hearing what the fourth brother said, I feel relieved."

The fourth prince lowered his head and bit his water-soluble lips, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so jealous."

Shui Rong glared at the fourth prince coquettishly: "I can't help it, who makes fourth brother popular."

"Don't worry, I only want you."

Shui Rong was coaxed by the fourth prince's words into a smile, and took the initiative to kiss the fourth prince's lips.

Not only the fourth prince is guessing who assassinated Jia Lian, but the eldest prince is also worried about this matter.

"We must find out who assassinated Jia Lian, otherwise everyone will think that this king did it." In the past two days, the first prince clearly felt that Emperor Longwu looked at him coldly. "Now even the emperor suspects that this king did it, and this king must be cleared of the suspicion as soon as possible."

Why don't you suspect the fourth child?

The reason is very simple, the fourth child has always shown that Jia Lian is very important, and everyone thinks that the fourth child will not attack Jia Lian.

"My lord, our people are already investigating, but they only know that the other party is a dead man, and there are no other clues."

With a gloomy face, the eldest prince scolded angrily: "If you don't have any clues, look for it. You must find the murderer who assassinated Jia Lian for me as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will not be me who did it, but it will be me." of."

"Yes!"

"My lord, can you see if the fourth prince did it?"

"Fourth?" The First Prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Probably not."

"My lord, the fourth prince valued Jia Lian very much before, so everyone thought that Jia Lian's assassination had nothing to do with the fourth prince, so they directly pointed the finger at you. If the fourth prince took advantage of this and sent someone to assassinate Jia Lian to frame you, it is not impossible."

When the eldest prince heard these words, he felt that there was some truth in his heart.In order to bring him down, it is not impossible for the fourth child to attack Jia Lian.

"My lord, if we can't find out who assassinated Jia Lian, we can directly create evidence or clues and transfer the blame to the fourth prince."

"Okay, let's do that."

The second prince's health has improved a lot recently, so he came into the palace to pay respects to Emperor Longwu, the Supreme Emperor, and the Queen Mother.

In the imperial study room, the second prince greeted Emperor Longwu and was given a seat.

"What do you think about Jia Lian's assassination in Jinling?"

"Father, my son feels that the mastermind behind the assassination of Jia Lian was neither the elder brother nor the fourth younger brother."

The words of the second prince made Emperor Longwu a little surprised: "Why don't you think you are the boss, not the fourth?"

"Because they dare not." The second prince said with a gentle face, "Everyone is saying that this disaster relief is for the father to test the elder brother and the fourth younger brother, who is more qualified to be the prince. The elder brother and the fourth younger brother have been fighting for the crown prince these years. Fighting and fighting, it is impossible to make a mistake at this time. Father and Emperor value Jia Lian so much, how could they be so stupid as to attack Jia Lian."

Before, Emperor Longwu suspected that the first prince did it, but now he heard the second prince's analysis, and felt that it made sense.

"Then who do you think did it?"

"I think it's possible that the elder brother or the fourth younger brother is jealous of Jia Lian's talent, and then makes a move on Jia Lian without telling the elder brother or the fourth younger brother." In a sense, the second prince guessed right.

"This scope is wide." Emperor Longwu felt that it was not impossible.

"So it's not easy to check."

"It's not easy to check, they will give me a result, just wait."

"There will only be two results for the father, one is made by the eldest brother, and the other is made by the fourth brother."

Emperor Longwu snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

The assassination of Jia Lian in Jinling more or less affected the situation in the capital.Civil and military officials were all guessing who sent someone to assassinate Jia Lian.

At the same time, Aunt Xue, who was far away in Jinling, received a letter from Wang Ziteng.

After reading the letter, Aunt Xue was very shocked, but at the same time felt that the big brother's idea was very good.

Aunt Xue took the letter to discuss with her husband, and her husband also thought Wang Ziteng's proposal was very good.

Seeing that her husband agreed, Aunt Xue sent someone to find the killer and planned to assassinate Jia Lian.

Jia Lian, who was recovering from his injuries, fell into deep thought after listening to the words of Wang Shiwei and the hidden guards.

Wang Shiwei asked: "Master Jia thinks there is something wrong?"

Jia Lian pinched his chin, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "I don't think the person who sent someone to assassinate me was neither the first prince nor the fourth prince." He has been stalking the system for the past few days, and finally learned from the system The people who assassinated him were not the First Prince or the Fourth Prince, but who it was, the damn system didn't tell him and let him investigate it himself.

"Why is Master Jia so sure?" Zhang Wei asked.

"I don't think the eldest prince and the fourth prince are so stupid." In fact, he had a suspect in his heart.

When Wang Shiwei heard this, he quickly understood.

"What Mr. Jia said is that the first prince and fourth prince will not be so stupid as to be so obvious."

"Dark guard, can I trouble you to keep an eye on Xue's residence these days?"

When Wang Shiwei and the secret guards heard Jia Lian's words, they all looked puzzled: "Xue Mansion?"

"Master Jia suspects that the Xue family did it?"

"I don't think the eldest prince and the fourth prince will take action against me." Jia Lian said with a smile, "I can only think of one person who would hate me enough to kill me."

"who is it?"

"My second aunt." Jia Lian said with a cold face, "She is the person who hates me the most in this world. Before my elder brother passed away, she thought that I killed him, and she wanted to kill me to avenge my elder brother."

Hearing such an explosive thing suddenly, Wang Shiwei and the dark guard looked at each other in blank dismay.

"To the extent that she hates me, it is very likely that she will kill me." Jia Lian analyzed his doubts, "But she is far away in Jinling, so she can't do anything to me, so it is very likely that she will ask the Xue family for help. Her sister is Xue Mistress of the house."

Wang Shiwei couldn't believe it: "Do they have such great abilities?"

"The Xue residence doesn't seem to have any dead soldiers."

"If there is no dead man, you can spend a lot of money to hire a dead man." Jia Lian said to the hidden guard, "Whether it is or not, go to Xue's mansion to investigate first."

"Yes, this subordinate is going to investigate the Xue residence."

"I have a hunch that I will be assassinated again."

When Wang Shiwei and Zhang Shiwei heard this, their eyes widened in astonishment: "Why does Lord Jia think so?"

"Based on my second aunt's character, I am not dead, she will not let me go, she will definitely send someone to assassinate me again, and she will only stop if she has to put me to death."

Wang Shiwei: "..."

Guard Zhang: "..."

"Now I'm recuperating here at the prefect, and it's not easy for them to do anything. When I move out from the prefect, they will do it right away." Jia Lian's eyes suddenly turned cold, "In two days, when I can get out of bed and walk around, I will leave the prefect Here, my lord, go back to Jia's hometown."

"Lord Jia, you just said that you might be assassinated again, and it would be dangerous to move out of the magistrate's mansion."

"You can't stay in the magistrate's mansion forever." Jia Lian knew who might kill him, so how could he sit still. "Leading the snake out of the hole can cut the weeds and roots." He didn't want to be assassinated all the time.

"Then wait until your injury is healed before leading the snake out of the hole."

"I can't wait that long. When there is news from the hidden guard, we will act." Jia Lian's eyes were cold. If Mrs. Wang really did it, then he would not let her go.

Wang Shiwei and Zhang Shiwei knew that Jia Lian could not be persuaded, so they could only prepare in advance.

The Taishanghuang sent a total of six secret guards to protect Jia Lian, two of them went to watch Xue's mansion, and the remaining four kept hiding by Jia Lian's side, secretly protecting Jia Lian.

Wang Shiwei and Zhang Shiwei were guarding against Jia Lian being assassinated again, while investigating the remaining men in black who escaped before.

The man in black who escaped last time is planning a second assassination.For this assassination, Jia Lian must be completely killed, and no more failures are allowed.

Aunt Xue found an organization of assassins here, and they were also a group of dead men, planning to assassinate Jia Lian.

The two hidden guards have been squatting at the Xue residence, watching every move of the Xue residence.Aunt Xue and the others secretly found a killer to assassinate Jia Lian, and the secret guards noticed it.

"Lord Jia, as you expected, they are from the Xue family. They have found the well-known assassin organization [Red Moon] in the south of the Yangtze River, and are planning to assassinate you for the second time."

When Jia Lian heard this, she raised the corner of her mouth and sneered: "I really guessed it."

Wang Shiwei and Zhang Shiwei looked surprised, and they had great admiration for Jia Lian in their hearts. They can guess all of this, they are so smart!

"It's kind of weird, though."

"What's weird?"

"It seems that the Xue family has found Hongyue for the first time." The dark guard frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression, "If the previous assassination was also done by the Xue family, this time it shouldn't take a lot of time to find it. Red Moon."

"Perhaps, in order to get rid of the suspicion, they found the killer organization again."

"As far as my subordinates know, only [Red Moon] in the south of the Yangtze River has killers for dead men."

"Are you sure only Red Moon has it?"

"My subordinates can be very sure that only [Red Moon] in the south of the Yangtze River has killers for dead men."

"If that's the case, then it's strange." If the Xue family didn't do the last assassination, who did it?

"The subordinates still inquired in the Xue residence that their next assassination plan was instigated by Wang Ziteng."

"Prince Teng?" Jia Lian looked surprised, how could it be him?He didn't seem to have offended Wang Ziteng, did he? Could it be that Wang Ziteng wanted to avenge Jia Zhu?

"Their plan is to send someone to assassinate you, and then deliberately leave clues pointing to the First Prince."

Hearing this, Jia Lian wondered in his heart, why did Wang Ziteng target the eldest prince? Could it be that he belonged to the fourth prince?No, didn't Wang Ziteng reject the courtship of the eldest prince and the fourth prince before, did he secretly seek refuge with the fourth prince?

If the first assassination was not done by the Xue family, then why did Wang Ziteng arrange another assassination, just to frame the eldest prince?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Jia Lian always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Is there any way to get evidence?"

"It seems that Wang Ziteng wrote a letter to Mrs. Xue." The dark guard guessed, "It is estimated that the letter has been burned."

"Think of a way to find evidence that Xue's mansion is looking for someone to assassinate me."

"It's hard, they didn't go to Hongyue directly, but through others."

"Continue to stare at Xue's mansion, and we will definitely find evidence." He didn't believe that he couldn't find any evidence.

"Yes."

The dark guard disappeared after reporting the matter, and continued to monitor Xue's residence.

"Lord Jia, if the people from the Xue family did not send the first assassination, then who sent it?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "I don't know." The matter of assassinating him was more complicated than he imagined.

"Half of the group of people escaped last time, and it is very likely that they will attack you again." The last assassination was unsuccessful, and with the style of a dead man, he will definitely assassinate again until Jia Lian is completely dead.

The corner of Jia Lian's mouth raised a mocking smile: "I didn't expect that I would be so popular, and so many people wanted my life."

Wang Shiwei: "..."

Guard Zhang: "..."

Master Jia, you are not popular, but envied.

"Whether I can leave Jinling alive depends on you." Now that you know that the Xue family will send someone to assassinate him, it's easy to do and you can make preparations in advance.But the group of people who escaped last time are not easy to deal with. I don't know when they will come out to assassinate him again.

"Master Jia, don't worry, the subordinates will definitely get you out of Jinling safely even if they try their best." They failed to protect Lord Jia during the last assassination, and their lives are already hanging by a thread.If Master Jia is not well protected this time, the Supreme Emperor will not keep them.

The secret guards also passed the news they had investigated back to the capital.

When the Supreme Emperor received the news, he was so angry that he wanted to copy the Wang family.

"Wang Ziteng actually secretly took refuge in the fourth prince. I still underestimated him." Emperor Longwu was very satisfied that Wang Ziteng did not take refuge in the eldest prince and the fourth prince before, but he did not expect that Wang Ziteng had already quietly joined the fourth prince.

"His plan is not bad."

"Prince Teng..." A cold light flashed in Emperor Longwu's eyes.

The Taishanghuang didn't say anything, and directly sent secret guards to watch the Wang family secretly.

Jia Lian recuperated in the prefect's mansion for a few days, and when he was able to get out of bed, he left the prefect's mansion and returned to Jia's old house to continue recuperating.

When the men in black from last time learned that Jia Lian had left the magistrate's mansion, they immediately prepared to assassinate him for the second time.However, they didn't expect someone to rush ahead of them.

On the second night when Jia Lian returned to Jia's old house, Hongyue's dead man Xue Fu found sneaked into Jia's old house and assassinated Jia Lian.

Because of the preparations made in advance, this assassination was naturally unsuccessful, and all ten of Hongyue's dead soldiers were killed on the spot.Sure enough, what they left behind pointed to the First Prince.

Jia Lian then told Master Cao, the prefect of Jinling, about the matter.

When Mr. Cao received the news, he rushed to Jia's old house in a hurry. When he learned that the deceased had left evidence pointing to the eldest prince, his first reaction was that they were framed by the fourth prince.

"Lord Jia, someone must have intentionally framed Prince Yuan."

"The lower official thinks so too." Jia Lian said with a straight face, "The lower official has no grievances with Prince Yuan, how could Prince Yuan send someone to assassinate me?"

"It's good that Mrs. Jia can think so. Prince Yuan has always admired you. This time you came to Jinling and wrote to me specially, asking me to treat you well. How could I send someone to assassinate you?"

"Thank you, Prince Yuan, for your appreciation." Jia Lian said seriously, "I believe that someone deliberately framed Prince Yuan."

"Master Jia, you'd better go back to my mansion and continue to recuperate. You might be assassinated if you live here."

"Thank you Master Cao for your kindness, but it's not convenient for the next official to live in your residence."

"What's the inconvenience, it's very convenient."

"Master Cao, I think someone will come to assassinate me. If you live in your mansion, those people won't be able to kill you."

"There will be others?" Master Cao looked surprised, "Why does Master Jia think so?"

"Because I didn't die." The dead soldiers sent by the Xue family came, but the group of people who came to assassinate for the first time have not yet come.

Master Cao: "..."

After being stunned for a while, Mr. Cao came back to his senses, and said with a serious expression: "In this case, I will send some more people to protect Mr. Jia."

"Lord Cao, if you send someone to protect the lower officials, you will startle the snake."

"But……"

"Lord Cao, don't worry, the lower official has found many people to secretly protect the lower official."

Master Cao saw Jia Lian's confident look, so he didn't say anything more.

"Master Jia, if you need anything, just ask me."

"If there is, the next official will definitely not be polite."

Master Cao gave Jia Lian a few more instructions before leaving.As soon as he returned to the mansion, he wrote a letter to report this matter to the First Prince.

The man in black who was assassinated before learned that Jia Lian was assassinated again, and he was very puzzled. Could it be that the prince sent someone to assassinate him again?

No matter what, they must complete the task assigned by the prince and must get rid of Jia Lian.

Two days later, Jia Lian was assassinated again.

This assassination let him know who did it.
