Chapter 124

He family.

"Why don't you understand this? The King Regent has arranged someone in the Jin family." After hearing Guo Liulang's speculation, Bai Fu curled his lips and said, "Otherwise, how did he know that the Jin family and the Wang family planned to join forces to deal with you?"

Guo Liulang still couldn't figure out some links, and frowned.

"Master Tie said that among those who were killed were the regent's people, that means the regent didn't do it, but it wasn't us who did it either?" he asked.

Regardless of whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, it is uneasy.

"Why do you care so much? What do you want the government to do after you've done all the work?" Bai Fu glanced at him with a teasing tone, "Maybe the Jin family did something heinous, and the enemy took the opportunity to find him?"

Having said that, Bai Fu's heart was pounding——
Last night, she only knew that someone was spying on her, and then said in the room that the assassination of the regent failed, that she and Guo Liulang were going to be killed, and that the son of the regent was arrested. Naturally, she thought it was the regent's enemy. King's people.

Could it be a double agent?

If I had known earlier. No, even if she knew it was the Regent, she would still do it.

Because no matter whether it is the regent's person or not, it doesn't matter who it is, who is spying on her, staring at her, and has vicious thoughts, she must kill them to avoid future troubles.

At the beginning, Guo Liulang had the full power to present treasures to make this limelight, and he repeatedly told her not to expose her, except that Guo Liulang's identity was more reasonable, and because she didn't want to ask for trouble.

In fact, it is also very contradictory.

It's not that she doesn't know that the birth of such a big killer will inevitably cause sensation and chaos.

However, the regent has repeatedly conquered and fought against the Beirong iron cavalry. He has made great contributions to defending the great cause of the country, and at the same time, he has also protected small people like her to live and work in peace and contentment.

It's what she likes to see.

And now that the regent has found oil, such a weapon will be manufactured sooner or later. It is not an exaggeration for her to use it in advance to find a backer for Guo Liulang and indirectly pave the way for her future business.

If you want to blame, you can only blame that person for being unlucky to meet her.

To the He family, it seemed like a big deal, but to some people it was nothing more than a trivial matter. General B went to investigate the details of the murder case, why was the Prince Regent worrying about another matter.

The Ministry of Rites handed over the list, which is the top three lists of candidates from all over the autumn.

It stands to reason that he, the regent, shouldn't worry about this matter.

However, Min Ji, Minister of Rites, was single-handedly selected by the regent, so he couldn't make up his mind, so he smartly made three lists and asked the regent to make a decision.

This time, Qiu Wei's topic on the advantages and disadvantages of streamlining the army was put forward by the regent, but the regent only gave the test questions and said nothing.

The regent holds a heavy army and opposes downsizing the army. This is common sense for scholars with a little political sensitivity in Daye Kingdom.

The Ministry of Rites is now the territory of the Prince Regent, and candidates who want to be politically correct will definitely write to suit the taste of the Prince Regent.

But there are some talented and courageous rebels who write articles that amaze the examiners.

It is true that the Ministry of Rites is under the regent's control, but except for a few defectors, most of them are old scholars who care about orthodox morality.

Fan Gu met an old scholar, and the two hit it off immediately, so the list of Zhongju sent to the Minister of Rites was a bit hot--
Half of the top three in various places are against the Prince Regent.

This is not a trivial matter, the Minister of Rites did not sit still, and immediately ordered the tribute colleges to send the test papers of the top ten candidates to the Yuandu Student Superintendent for re-examination.

The result of the review is these three lists.

The first one was purely natural without the intervention of the regent. The Secretary of the Household Department marked the candidate's family background and knowledge after each name, as well as the information on the lineup of the examiners. It is no surprise that most of the lineups belong to His Majesty's faction.

The second one was re-examined by the Prince Regent, but it was not politically biased. Among the first three, there were fewer dissenters, at least not absolutely mainstream.

The last one is completely politically correct, and none of the first three are against it.

It stands to reason that after half a month of the exam, the list will be released, and the Minister of Rites under the pressure insisted on delaying the list for a month, waiting for the regent to make a decision.

The regent read the eloquent explanatory letter from Minister of Rites in an extremely uninhibited posture, and he curled his lips and scolded softly:
"You can't be the master of such trivial matters, so what's the use of him?"

The servant who delivered the letter trembled and knelt down in cold sweat to beg for mercy:

"My lord, Min Shangshu is also kind. Now that the situation is unpredictable, the lord will check according to the current needs, so that the people below can handle things with peace of mind."

The regent thought for a while, and threw the second list to the servant.

"Remember those who disagree, all of them will be sent to the border to be officials if they fail the exam next year."

The servant thanked Dade and left with the list.

"My lord, when I rushed there, our people were completely dead. We have checked and left no information. This is the result of the autopsy."

A guard in black knelt down on one leg, holding a booklet to report.

General B held the big knife on one side with one hand, took the booklet from the guard, turned around and handed it to the regent, "My lord, please have a look."

The regent took it and looked through it.

"The head of the body is separated, there are very thin strangle marks on the neck, the front and back are the same depth, one blow is fatal, it is speculated that the rope is as thin as silk and as sharp as a blade"

The regent looked away from the booklet, and spoke in thought:
"This Anzhou is really the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

After finishing speaking, he handed the booklet back to General C, who also opened it curiously, his expression gradually serious.

I thought the oil cannon was powerful enough, but I didn't want to have more powerful ones.

"How can there be such a weapon in the world? I don't know if this person is an enemy or a friend." He murmured.

"Not only that"

The black-clothed guard got up and continued to speak, "I speculate that our people and the head of the Jin family were killed almost at the same time. Their eyes are wide open, there is no sign of struggle, and there is no sign of a fight at the scene."

Killed at the same time?No signs of struggle or fight?
"Isn't there more than one weapon like this?" General B said his guess, and there was a glimpse of a rare treasure in his eyes.

How can the regent not understand the mind of this subordinate who has been fighting with him for many years, so he glanced at him lightly.

"A person who can instantly kill three people quietly, how dare you covet his weapon?"

The regent said lightly.

General B touched his neck subconsciously, and laughed dryly.

"Don't dare, my subordinates are just curious about what kind of weapon it is, and I will be satisfied if I can see the true face."

Well, it would be even better if you could touch it again.

General B fights and kills on weekdays, and has no time to develop hobbies, so he likes to confiscate the enemy's treasure house, collect some rare objects and so on.

But that's not what matters now.

"My lord, the news that you ordered the banning of the Coal Mine Department has spread. Now everyone knows that the Jin family and the Wang family have angered you. This matter is either that the Jin family was sought for revenge, or our people were killed by mistake. Or someone wanted to plant it on the You, our people were silenced." General B speculated.

The black-clothed guard obviously thought the same thing, nodded and continued, "If we're just looking for revenge, we don't need to delay, if we frame it."

He looked up at the regent, wanting to see his master's attitude, but saw that the regent didn't even move his brows, just looked down at the booklet with only one sentence in his hand, a little lost in thought.

Still wondering what kind of weapon it is?

The guard in black stopped talking.

"Such a weird weapon, should the owner be a man or a woman?"

Just when General B was hesitating whether to remind his master, the regent spoke leisurely, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Ding sound.

A picture instantly flashed in General B's mind--
A delicate and charming figure threw out a string of "ropes" as thin as silk and as sharp as a blade, and firmly wrapped them around the enemy's head. After pulling and closing, blood sprayed, and the head fell to the ground
General B couldn't help shivering, curled his lips and opened his mouth in disgust.

"The subordinates feel that it is very likely to be a woman. How can the elders come up with so many tricks."

Strength, speed, the pleasure of a white knife entering and a red knife exiting, isn't it delicious?

The regent didn't answer, he pondered for a moment and asked the guards below:
"Have you checked the He family?"

General B had previously conveyed Guo Liulang's words to the regent, but the regent thought it was not enough, so he sent a secret guard to verify it.

"My lord, there is nothing unusual in the reply from the person sent over there, it's just"

"Just how?"

The black-clothed guard then told another incident that was accidentally investigated.

"That night our people saw a man in black visiting He's house at night, so they chased after him, but ended up being lost halfway, and we don't know who it was."

The Oil Artillery Workshop is near He’s house, and the Regent sent someone to guard it in the open and in the dark. One of the secret guards was passing by the He’s house and accidentally ran into someone who was visiting the He’s house at night. Out of curiosity, he followed him for a while, but who would have known that person? The vigilance was quite high, and he went around and dumped him.

The hidden guard thought that the matter of the He family was not within his scope of responsibility, so he gave up and didn't mention it to anyone. It wasn't until the regent sent the head of the hidden guard to investigate the case that he revealed what happened that night.

The Regent let out an ooh and sat up straight.

"This Wuhai town actually has a master who can even lose you?"

The dark guards were carefully selected from the black armored guards, not to mention invincible, but in the territory of Daye Kingdom, they had never made such low-level mistakes.

General B glanced at the black-clothed guards, "Silver Wolf, could it be that your subordinates have recuperated so well that their legs are weak and useless after not fighting all these years?"

Although I don't agree with General B's deduction, but it did happen, the black-clothed guard called Silver Wolf knelt down again, "It's my subordinate's fault, please punish me, my lord."

The Regent waved his hand.

"Weird weapons have appeared. It's not surprising that there is another powerful master. The two must be related. Go and find out."

The guard in black should step down.

"Prince" General B stepped forward, "Is the He family still investigating?"

There was no answer, and the only sound in the huge room was the rhythmic tapping of the regent's fingers on the table.

half an hour.

"Someone spying on the He family must have a plan. Now that the He family has made great contributions in presenting treasures, it must have hindered many people's affairs, so they must arrange people to protect them."

"Yes"

General B went out to make arrangements, but the regent was still thinking.

Guo Liulang insisted that weapons are the secrets of the ancestors, and only the He family could make them. He didn't believe it, but he didn't pursue it.

Because he cared more about who would make it for him than who made it.

He only needs to know that the He family is working for him now, that's enough.

The matter of cooperating with the He family to manufacture artillery was done in a secret way, and only a few people on both sides knew about it.

The craftsmen in the workshop are also under strict supervision. Unexpectedly, someone got the news so quickly and sent a master to inquire
There are probably not many people in the world who can dispatch such masters.

As it happened, there were a few of the people he knew.

The regent's mouth curled into a smile.

It seems that the sky is high, but the emperor may not be far away.
