Chapter 94

Tian Huo's wife, Peng, was not in good health and rarely came out. Seeing Huazhi's expression, she felt frightened and quickly looked at Tian Huo, "Sir, did we come at the wrong time?"

Tian Huo patted the back of Peng's hand comfortingly and looked at Huazhi, "But father has something to discuss with mother?"

Huazhi nodded quickly, "Young Master, Young Madam, please come back."

Tian Huo paused, didn't ask any more questions, and helped Peng to turn around and go back.

Mrs. Peng was full of questions and did not dare to say anything, so she became more and more cautious.

At this moment, Tian Huo's personal guard hurriedly came to report, "Young master, it's not good, the king has been assassinated, and the commander of the imperial guard wants you to enter the palace immediately."

"What? The king was assassinated?" Tian Huo's eyes widened and he was stunned.

Peng's eyes darkened and she fell directly into Tian Huo's arms.

Xiyuan was in chaos for a while.

Tian Huo couldn't take care of Peng, so he could only let Huazhi take care of her while he hurried out of the house.

In less than an hour, the news of King Chen's assassination spread, and martial law was imposed in Longcheng. There were no more wandering people in the bustling city in the past. With Zhuque Street as the center, there were soldiers every ten steps.

The city guards led people to search house to house, and even the palace was not spared. There was such a big commotion, but no news came out of the palace, and people were panicked.

The Wang's residence in Yingchunli had just been searched by the city patrol.

Sisters Zhong Qiong and Qingdai looked at the messy pharmacy, with smoke rising from their heads. Lianrong cried while cleaning up, "These are all the hard work of the master and the miss! How could they go so far? Is it possible that the assassin can still do it?" You can’t hide in the medicine cabinet!”

"I think they did it on purpose!" Zhong Qiong said coldly.

Qingdai nodded, "If I read it correctly, the leader seems to have some relationship with the Gongsun family."

"We can't just let this matter go!" Qingluan and Qingdai exchanged glances and ran out secretly.

Huang Ye pursed her lips and said nothing. Even when she heard the movement behind her, she didn't say anything to stop him. Even if Qingluan didn't do anything, she didn't intend to endure it anymore.

Gongsuzizhao had just demolished the prince's house, and he was very arrogant. He ordered people to ransack several other houses in Yingchun. Seeing that the people dared to be angry and dare not speak, he became even more arrogant. He cursed a lot. When he saw All the people under his command were finished before they asked the brothers to leave.

As soon as the officers and soldiers left, the whole family mourned together, and the whole house was filled with wailing and wailing in the spring.

"Oh my God! I managed to save 20 taels of coffins, but they just took them away! They are robbers, robbers!"

"Dad, dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Similar scenes play out in every household.

Qingluan stood at the top of the wall, with scarlet eyes, silently turning around and escaping into the darkness.

Gongsuzuzhao and his group had tasted the benefits in the Spring Festival and repeated their old tricks in Xiaheli. In Xiaheli, there lived a wealthy businessman named Li. Gongsuzuzhao aimed at the Li Mansion.

The officers and soldiers knocked for a long time but no one opened the door.Gongsuzuzhao frowned and ordered fiercely: "Smash it for me! If anything happens, I will bear it!"

A group of people rushed up with swords and slashed at the door of Li's Mansion. It took a long time to break it open. When everyone rushed in, they saw no one in the brightly lit Li Mansion, and there was a deathly silence all around. .

Gongsunzi Zhao was suspicious, and immediately ordered his brothers to search the rooms one by one. At this moment, the door that they had knocked open slammed shut, and there were bursts of shrill howls from the Li Mansion.

Jun Yao received an urgent report as soon as she came out of the palace and rushed to Xia Heli with a group of people.

In Cheng'an Palace.

Gongsun Rong knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me! My empress's injury is unknown now. My nephew Zizhao was ordered to capture the assassin, but his life was in vain! It's a pity that he was weak and could not get married for more than a month. , not even a piece of incense was left, woo woo woo.”

"Okay! Gu has already sent out the Imperial Guards and the Shenxing Department. With Jun Yao here, no matter how arrogant the assassin is, he can't even think of escaping from Dragon City!" King Chen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. .

Gongsun Rong opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the assassin can avoid the imperial guards and come and go freely. If it is not a spy in the palace, or the opponent's hands and eyes are very good, looking at the entire Chen country, there is no one with such ability. More than one slap, one of them is in the city! Your Majesty, you should have people surround the other party's mansion immediately to avoid causing trouble!"

King Chen put down his hand in dissatisfaction and stared at Gongsun Rong coldly, "Prime Minister, I know who you are talking about, and I also know that you have deep grudges with General Wei, but I am making unfounded guesses that you are going to send someone alone." What’s the purpose of surrounding the Wei Mansion?”

King Chen did rely on the Gongsun family, but this was not because he valued the Gongsun family, but because he used the Gongsun family as a check on the Wei family. He was already suspicious by nature, and Gongsun Rong's words immediately aroused his dissatisfaction.

Gongsun Rong's face turned pale, and he was afraid to admit his mistake, "Your Majesty! I am confused, but I am also eager to protect my master. Now the assassin is still in the dark. Anyone who is suspicious must be on guard. You want evidence to be easy to handle. The assassin is not a leg." The Ministry has been hit by an arrow, and now we are sending people to the Wei Mansion to visit General Wei. If he is injured, that is ironclad evidence! If he is intact, everyone can feel at ease."

Cai Yong stood silently next to King Chen. When he heard these words, he said: "Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is very true. At this time, there is a lot of chaos, and I would rather kill by mistake than let go. General Wei has high morals and high prestige. After retiring for many years, if you are innocent, you really shouldn’t bear the infamy of such suspicion. If there is really a problem, you can take the opportunity to get rid of the big trouble in your heart, and there will be no loss for you. "

King Chen looked at Cai Yong strangely, "You old man, when did you start caring about the affairs of the court?"

Cai Yong is the old man next to King Chen. Although his official position is not high, because he is always with the king, King Chen is more friendly to him and talks more casually. From what Cai Yong, King Chen's team, knows, this is a historical figure. You idiot, apart from writing history books, you don’t care about anything else. Today, the sun is rising from the west!

Cai Yong laughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, even the humble ministers are a little selfish."

King Chen's face darkened, "Speak!"

"Weichen, Weichen wants to go to the Wei Mansion and meet General Wei. Many of the history books written by Weichen are stuck with General Wei. The information received is all hearsay. If you can verify it with him, , that would be perfect!" Cai Yong looked obsessed.

King Chen had a clear look on his face.

Gongsun Rong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "Master Cai! What time is it now and you are still thinking about your crappy book! Which is more important, the king's safety or your crappy book?"

Cai Yong looked innocent, "Of course the king's safety is important, but this does not conflict with the minister's meeting with General Wei."

"You!" Gongsun Rong pointed at Cai Yong, his fingers trembling with anger.

King Chen shouted impatiently: "That's enough! Cai Yong, then you take people to the Wei Mansion. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cai Yong happily saluted King Chen and exited Cheng'an Palace.
