Two hundred and forty-four chapters two-way assassination(1/2)
"I'll talk about this later."
Gu Qingyan's eyes returned to the letter paper. To be honest, these three people have good official positions and no major mistakes on their faces. One of them, Li Linyu, had made military achievements with General Feng. Now his sister is Mrs. Wen in Queen Yu's harem.
Only just now, Gu Qingyan noticed that their military achievements were to stabilize the relationship between the two countries that the Xuanyue clan had provoked due to civil strife. She did not know about this when she was in the Palace of King Yu.
"This Deputy General Li is the elder brother of Mrs. Wen in the prince's palace."
Gu Qingyan looked up at King Yu.
King Yu nodded: "Now he is no longer a deputy general."
Shortly after that quell, he encountered another bandits and rebellion in the border town. Li Linyu once again led his troops to quell the bandits and rebelled. When he returned to the capital to report his life, he encountered this spring hunting. On the hunting ground, Li Linyu also had a share of the contributions to the rescue of Prince Yi. Therefore, he made double contributions from a deputy general to a regular person.
Gu Qingyan pulled the corner of her mouth and said in her heart: The emperor's heart is much harder to guess than a woman's heart. While increasing the title, she is very glorious, but she starts to kill secretly.
"They seem to have no fault on the surface. Have you taken other things privately?" Gu Qingyan asked.
After all, she was a court official, so she could not nod and agree to take it as soon as possible. Even though she was sure that King Yu and the others were sure that these people would die, but if they didn't tell her accurately, everything would change.
King Yu nodded: "Do you still remember the book of Yuan Zhao that I once showed you?"
Gu Qingyan nodded. The officials above didn't need her to take action at that time, so she just glanced at him and didn't care much. As for the only sects above, they were always under the surveillance of Yuhualou and handed them over to Baili Mo to settle them.
"There are the names of these three people above. Someone in Li Linyu's family was an official under Lao Wu. It is easiest for Lao Wu's old subordinates to train new people to start from these relatives. Moreover, Li Linyu's next few actions were too coincidental, which attracted attention."
"Fu Changsheng has always been the dark teeth left by Lao Wu. This is a personal spirit. He has always been good at everything. Anyone thinks he is good, but in private he has used many evil means to harm his colleagues and arrange his own people. After Prince Yi entered the capital, he frequently contacted him, so he could not keep him anymore."
"The other Jiang Rong once served as the Shili teacher of several of our princes, including the king. Now he is in the second rank, and he has many disciples..."
As King Yu said, Gu Qingyan nodded frequently. Well, she had some impression of this person's name, and just read his message, this person should be an old minister in the court, loyal and loyal. I don't know what little braid he had pulled by that person.
"Among the officials who arranged Fu Changsheng's operation, there were many confidants of Jiang Rong's disciples and confidants. This person had many confronted Fu Changsheng in person, but they were all loyal to the same person in private."
The people in the city were not vegetarians, both inside and outside the palace, and the movements of Prince Yi and the court were not all taken away, but at least half of them were gathered together by this person.
Although the man secretly changed his blood when he ascended the throne, he could not stand some people's loyalty to the emperor and rebel behind his back.
"These people have some of their own supporters and prestige in the court. If they have to continue to do a big move, they will cause a lot of trouble."
The way of Yu Wang, although Nanwan's national strength is not weak, internal friction is not a wise move after all. In addition, it has been too frequent for the change of officials in the court in the past two years, and even if there is nothing wrong, people will inevitably not have any unfair intentions.
Moreover, the one who was in charge once said that within five years of his ascension, he would need to eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty that had been left for decades. Five years is coming, and the remnants of the previous dynasty colluded with the remnants of the throne, and they would not do without making any more moves.
The court was complicated, Gu Qingyan had already frowned, lowered her head to ponder for a moment, Gu Qingyan said, "No matter who I choose, tell me first how to die?"
"They were ordered to come and congratulate him. It would be inappropriate if they died suddenly in Jicheng."
King Yu looked at Gu Qingyan with a firm look. These people could not only not die in Jicheng, but also in the fiefdom under his jurisdiction.
Gu Qingyan was clear, and tapped the table with his fingertips and said, "I remember Jiang Rong once taught me a few poems, which can be regarded as a teacher for a day. Let me give him a journey as my wish. Even if Fu Changsheng is eliminated now, what should you do if he arranges to enter the court?"
"I have a brilliant plan."
King Yu said that he was confident, and Gu Qingyan didn't bother with him, so he didn't include this person on the list of his assassination targets.
Finally, when talking about Li Linyu, Gu Qingyan also joked: "No matter how he said he is your brother-in-law, I wonder if the prince is very willing to do so?"
King Yu smiled and said, "If I am not cruel, can the fourth girl help me?"
Gu Qingyan rolled her eyes and swept over, thinking: Fortunately, she had foresight and kept a hand in his harem, so she said, "Double price, I'll help."
Gu Qingyan's sudden yelling price caught King Yu off guard. He looked at Xu Shaolin, and Xu Shaolin shook his head at him repeatedly, saying that this was not what he had signaled.
"I have negotiated with Shaolin for the rewards, so you can go find him."
King Yu bargained. Just before Gu Qingyan came, he and Xu Shaolin and the others had already discussed what to give and how much to give, and Ziqi had already made the black and white text.
"Brother, have you stamped the red mark?" Gu Qingyan leaned his head and asked Xu Shaolin.
Xu Shaolin smiled at her and shook his head.
Gu Qingyan received a response, then smiled at King Yu and called Ziqi behind King Yu: "Ziqi, bring what you wrote and I'll take a look."
Ziqi was in a dilemma, and looked at Gu Qingyan and King Yu, it was not right, nor was it right.
"Hey, forget it, listen to you, add it to her! Add it!"
King Yu stopped the Ziqi, but there was something else on the order, so he couldn't easily show it to Gu Qingyan. Besides, he couldn't afford to pay twice the price, so he agreed.
Gu Qingyan smiled proudly and comforted King Yu: "Don't worry, buy one get one free."
So, the list of assassinations for Gu Qingyan's vocation was decided.
Seeing that everyone said this round, Fengxi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the princess is waiting outside the door."
"Well, let her come in."
In fact, everyone in the hall could feel that there were people waiting outside, but they had their legislation to abide by, so it was hard for Gu Qingyan and others to say anything.
Princess Jing Yi walked in dignifiedly and gracefully. Everyone except Gu Qingyan and Prince Yu stood up and saluted: "I have met Princess Yu."
Until Jing Yi walked to Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan stood up and the two of them gave a tribute to each other: "Good Emperor."
"Good Princess."
After asking each other about his feelings, Jing Yi looked at Prince Yu and said, "Prince."
Prince Yu waved and signaled the princess to sit down: "Are you done?"
Jing Yi replied: "Yes, the yard where Emperor Ji lives has been prepared, and all the items are ready. Emperor Ji is afraid of quarrels, so I only leave a few rough maids to do some dirty and tiring work."
"The princess is intent."
Gu Qingyan thanked her, the princess's arrangement was just right for her.
"Mr. Han has already ordered people to prepare the residence of Mr. Han to be with several other masters."
"Thank you, Princess."
Han Yan stood up and thanked him.
Gu Qingyan said a few more words to them, and then said that she wanted the princess to take her to see the yard. The two of them left first on the excuse, and Su Xin and Beiming also retreated.
There were only a few big men left in the main hall. King Yu was moving his shoulders and breathing a sigh of relief. He thought that Gu Qingyan would be exhausted physically and mentally when he was on the way, which would lead to a bad mood and ignore him, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"After all, there is someone who can cure this girl. I have said it a long time ago, just don't worry, the prince."
Xu Shaolin smiled and said, and he didn't forget to look at Han Yan.
Compared to Xu Shaolin's ease with King Yu, Han Yan was still a little restrained.
King Yu smiled and said, "Young Master Han doesn't have to be restrained, you only have the distinction between identity in front of others. In private, you are just like them."
"The prince was joking." Han Yan grasped the degree appropriately and responded.
"After all, I still have something to do to trouble Young Master Han." King Yu left Han Yan not just to greet him.
"Prince, please speak." Han Yan said.
King Yu came down from his seat and Fengxi presented a broken sword: "I know that the master of Han Shao Manor is a member of the Sword Sect. He knows more about the sword than the others, so he wants the master of Han Shao Manor to help identify the sword."
Han Yan took the broken sword and looked around. The broken sword was the first half of the sword body. Although it looked different from ordinary swords from a distance, there was no big clue. No wonder Xu Shaolin and the others could not help King Yu.
"For others, this sword has a narrower spine, a thin blade, and a slightly longer and sharper sword edge..." Han Yan said, touching his fingers gently on the sword surface, and weighing the weight again. "The sword surface is hard, and the overall weight is not very heavy, but it looks like it is specially cast for women."
"How sure is it?" asked King Yu.
Han Yan thought for a while and said, "70% to 80% of the men who practice swords in aristocratic families do not want to use too light swords. Even women use less. After all, if the light sword and soft sword do not have too high internal strength and extremely fast speed, their lethality will be greatly reduced."
"In other words, is this sword specially owned by someone?"
"That's right, for example, Gu Qingyan, I don't know if the prince has seen Yan'er's sword. It's also light, but the sword face is not as thin as this one, and the sword edge is also of normal shape and size."
Although Gu Qingyan used few swords, he also had a special sword. Except for the lighter weight, the proportions of this sword are almost no different from those of conventional swords.
Xu Shaolin nodded. They had seen this broken sword before Han Yan came, but they could not tell who would have it, and they could not find clues in their memory.
"Does Young Master Han know what kind of people can use it?" asked King Yu.
Han Yan shook his head gently, precisely because the sword is customized, unique but also niche.
He stared at the sword blade carefully and Han Yan seemed to have thought of something and asked King Yu: "Can this broken sword hurt people?"
The answer to Han Yan was Fengxi behind King Yu: "No one was injured, but there were also sword marks left. In the yard where the fourth girl wanted to live..."
Feng Xi was obviously aware that after he finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions in an instant.
"Don't worry, let me talk about this matter slowly." King Yu answered, holding down the people who were about to get angry.
This sudden incident happened about two nights before Xu Shaolin and his friends arrived in Jicheng. At that time, Princess Yu brought people to clean up the villa because she wanted to buy things for the yard where Gu Qingyan lived. That night, Princess Yu got Princess Yu's promise and lived in the villa temporarily.
Unexpectedly, that night, before the third update, a man in black broke in. He first lit a ecstasy incense into the uninhabited room, and then pried in the door and found that there was no one in the house. When he wanted to withdraw, Ziqi, who was patrolled to the courtyard, found that the two of them started fighting in the courtyard.
In the end, the man in black cut off the sword of Ziqi. Seeing that he was unable to defeat Ziqi, he took the opportunity to escape with a move of smoke.
"Someone wants to assassinate the little girl?" Zong Yue spoke out and looked at Baili Mo, wondering if he had no news.
Baili Mo shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, no news came."
"Did the princess have something to do that day?" Xu Shaolin asked.
King Yu said: "Jing Yi was in another room and was not so stunning. She woke up after the movement calmed down. "
It is precisely because of this that King Yu could not be sure who the man in black rushed for.
