Chapter 813 Extraterritorial Things

The palace search will inevitably cause a storm in the city, but if there is no action, it will make people suspicious. Zhao Bing also knew that there would be no result if he continued to toss and continued. Seeing that the temperature was almost done, he ordered the removal. He returned to the hall to show his face to prove that he was safe and sound. He also said that the matter had been basically found out. The assassination was the reason why the Meng Yuan was unwilling to lose Jiangnan. He used the opportunity of our dynasty to find the disc score to plan the incident. At present, the assassin has been captured and tried seriously. He will investigate his accomplices. The ministers do not have to worry, even if they perform their duties, do not misunderstand the state affairs.

Seeing that the little emperor was safe and sound, everyone was relieved and asked for congratulations. However, a grand ceremony for the book was over. Zhao Bing returned to the back hall, leaving only Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie to discuss matters. First, they told them the truth. The assassin had committed suicide by taking poison. The mastermind has not yet found out. He did not tell the ministers the truth just to calm the people. Therefore, he could only investigate secretly at this time and pay attention to his own safety. Not only should the family be more vigilant, but also more guards should be added when traveling to prevent the enemy from being plotted against.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This time I failed to see through the assassin's trick. I was shocked by the Holy Lord. Please punish me!" Wen Tianxiang said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I am all not well protected, so that the assassin was allowed to enter the capital. I would like to punish myself!" Zhang Shijie also politely said.

"This time, the assassination of the enemy was meticulous and skillful. He planned this matter with the rush to get the disc score as bait. It was my fault and had nothing to do with you. How could he punish me?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Wen Tianxiang said politely, "Your Majesty has clues, who knows who wants to be unfavorable to Your Majesty?"

"The assassin committed suicide before being arrested. After investigation, he took poison in advance and came to assassinate with the intention of dying. This is why he was worried that he would not be able to withstand the torture after being captured and told the mastermind behind the scenes." Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.

"This assassin acts like a dead soldier raised by a powerful family in the past. He enjoys generous benefits on weekdays, but if he uses it, he will be rewarded with his life. Now few people in our dynasty adopt the disciples, while the Mongol Yuan has the habit of slaughtering. They often select strong people from them to train and do bad things." Zhang Shijie said.

"What the Shushu commander said is reasonable. When Boyan's troops were at the city, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou came to surrender to the north. Boyan robbed all the royal dices and followed the map to search for the horses, arrested all the clan members to Dadu, and at the same time sent the archives, calligraphy and paintings and treasures contained in the palace to Dadu in batches through the canal. How could the dices be left to the people for several years?" Wen Tianxiang said, "Therefore, the only one who could obtain the complete dices was Meng Yuan. It was only the blame for the luck at that time that he believed Chen Qing's words, which led to Your Majesty's in danger."

"What the two beloved ministers said is reasonable, but I still feel that something is wrong." Zhao Bing nodded and thought for a moment, "There is a critical juncture between the Empress Dowager of the Mongol Yuan and the Khan. There is no time to take care of others before the victory or defeat. It is not a good time to move troops. Moreover, Nandae has sent a jail envoy, and now it is in Lin'an. If someone is sent to assassinate me now, it is clearly a fire to burn my body. Of course, it is not ruled out that they want to disrupt the court by assassinating me, thereby reducing the pressure on our court to Jiangbei."

"Your Majesty's intention is that the people in our court planned the assassination?" Zhang Shijie asked in confusion.

"Well, Your Majesty's words are not impossible." Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment, "Some people wanted to usurp the throne, but when the previous time, His Majesty exposes Zhao Mengqi and destroys some people's plans, they may also take risks to achieve their goals, and even conspire with the Mongolian Yuan to plan this matter."

"Yes, guarding day and night, it's hard to guard against thieves at home." Zhang Shijie sighed after hearing this.

"It's hard to guard against a thief in the family, so I secretly cut off the beam of the house." Zhao Bing clenched his fists and said.

"Your Majesty suspects that he was involved in this matter?" Wen Tianxiang looked at His Majesty and frowned.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Shijie was a little confused when he saw the two of them fighting the mystery, but suddenly he thought of something, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Chen and Quan's interference in the plot?"

"Oh, Shushu also knows that Chen and Quan have returned to China?" Wen Tianxiang said in surprise.

"Of course, he had not returned to his country before. He sent his former generals to talk to him, saying that he wanted to return to the court, so that I could speak well in front of the Empress Dowager and test Your Majesty's attitude!" Zhang Shijie said.

"Why didn't Shushu report to Your Majesty?" Wen Tianxiang suddenly stood up and said after hearing this.

"Don't be anxious about Wen Xiang. Shushu has already informed me of this matter and has not concealed it. It is also because I want Shushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushus

"So that's the case. I misunderstood Shuzheng. Please forgive me!" Wen Tianxiang immediately polite after hearing the little emperor's explanation. He did not expect that Zhang Shijie and His Majesty had already abandoned their past grudges. At first, he was worried that he and Chen Yizhong would collude with each other, and he held military power. If the two of them merged, it would be dangerous.

"Those who don't know have no faults, and their literary appearance is so polite!" Zhang Shijie hurriedly returned the courtesy.

"The two beloved ministers are both pillars of the court. At the moment, Jiangnan has begun to settle down, but undercurrents are surging. You still need to help me stabilize the court and prevent this countercurrent from spreading. The Empress Dowager is going to Beijing and be more cautious in his actions." Zhao Bing said to the two with a smile.

"I am obeying the order, please rest assured by Your Majesty!" After hearing this, the two of them saluted the little emperor...

…………

It was already dark, but the sky was covered with clouds and the stars and moons were hard to see, and the windless and humid early summer made people feel even more frustrated. Zhao Bing was also very depressed in the bedroom. Although the daylight incident did not hurt Zhao Bing at all, it also made him realize that even if he did not need to lead troops into battle, the god of death was not far away and was still hovering above his head.

After the scattered court, Zhao Bing ordered the painter to copy Chen Qing's appearance, and asked Chen Dun to personally lead a team of horses to Chen Qing's home to check, and let people identify whether they were the same person. There was no valuable thing from the assassin except the hidden weapon on the table. The guards in the palace had seen it but no one had seen such a strange weapon, let alone the name and source. It seemed that it had become a dead end to find clues on it.

"What is this?" Zhao Bing picked up one and murmured. No one can tell whether it was poisonous or not, and with current technical means, he could only determine that it was poisonous. For safety reasons, he could only determine that it was poisonous. He knew that it was not possible to synthesize later chemical poisons in ancient times. Poisons were generally biological or mineral poisons, and they would fail when they encountered high temperatures, so he burned them first, and was only careful of being cut and no longer had to worry about being poisoned.

Zhao Bing put one of them in his hand and looked at it. He knew that there was also an invisible hidden weapon called "wolf claws" in the Central Plains in history, but its appearance was different from the modern finger tiger, the bone fist gloves that are popular in Western Europe, and the iron claw hooks like Wolverine. He believed that many people and themselves would be a little disappointed when they saw it at first. It was different from the aggressive appearance of the wolf claws. On the contrary, it was a small and sinister weapon.

This weapon has a small appearance. These small claws are like a few small daggers and are much more sinister and fatal than wolf claws. Several small and curved sharp blades on the inside are like the claws of carnivores. They can easily tear apart human muscles and skin; but they are like cat claws, hidden and fatal. If you clench your hand slightly, or wrap something on the outside of your hand, no one can find it.

If you only look at it from the outside, people will probably only regard it as a gem-carried ring carried by a rich man. However, the moment we pass by this rich man, the user may stretch out his hand as if he wants to pat your shoulder friendly, and then pull your throat out of your neck in the next second. If you apply poison, just scratch the skin and kill people invisibly, and even the murderer's face and weapon are not visible.

"Official family, Zheng has arrived!" Wang Defang told the little emperor lightly. Today, the little emperor was assassinated, and Wang De dared not stay away. He kept guarding His Majesty. All idle people, even his little yellow sect, were not allowed to enter, and he told him.

"Well, let him come in!" Zhao Bing nodded.

"What's wrong with the high-ranking official? Do you even don't know me?" Zheng Huchen got permission and entered the hall, but was blocked by Wang De at the door. He frowned and looked at him up and down. How could he not feel irritated when an eunuch looked at him like this? Zheng Huchen also had goose bumps on his body and squeezed out a little smile and asked.

"The official family was assassinated in full view of the public in the hall. There were so many pairs of eyes that I had to look carefully!" Wang De replied with a tense face.

"Okay, okay, have the high-ranking official seen clearly?" Zheng Huchen smiled and stood up with open arms and said kindly. However, he admired him very much. Don't say that Wang De does not have that ability, but this loyalty is really rare, but this person has passed it a little and has become no one believes it anymore.

"Well, it's not bad, come in and meet!" Wang De smiled and said with a smile, letting Zheng Huchen enter the house.

"Your Majesty was assassinated by his subordinates, so please punish him!" Zheng Huchen stole two steps and knelt down on one knee after entering the house. He understood his responsibilities very well. In addition to collecting intelligence, the most important responsibility was to eliminate all threats around His Majesty. Now, he naturally had to neglect his duties.

"Although the net of heaven is vast and sparse, there are still hundreds of secrets and sparsenesses in the end. You don't have to blame yourself too much!" Zhao Bing stood up and helped him up.

"Thank you for forgiveness," Zheng Huchen stood up and politely said, "When I heard that Your Majesty was assassinated, I was quick-responsive. Not only did I avoid the assassin's fatal blow, but I also saved the King of Lord Wang."

"Of course, the official family has been practicing martial arts with Master Yuanmiao since he was five years old. He has not been able to practice martial arts for nearly ten years. Even if he has bare hands and fists, four or five guards are not opponents. If it weren't for saving the young man, the guards would not need to take action today, and the assassin could be killed in the hall on the spot." Wang De came over and poured tea for Zheng Huchen himself. He knew very well that although Zheng Huchen only had the title of deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, he was still his subordinate, but the emperor relied on him more.

"The high-ranking official is also in danger today. If it weren't for your reminder, Your Majesty would have been unable to detect it for a while. This is also a meritorious rescue!" Zheng Huchen flattered Wang De without hesitation.

"It is a small responsibility to protect the Lord loyally. Even if you die, you cannot hurt Your Majesty a hair!" Wang De was so happy that he patted his chest and said.

"Well, Wang De's performance today is indeed good. He stopped drinking immediately after he found something wrong, which gave me time to react, so he should give me a good reward." Zhao Bing also said with interest.

"This is all for the young man, how can you ask for His Majesty's reward?" Although Wang De refused, his face was filled with joy. "It just happened that Master Zheng is here, so the young man took the leave first to handle some chores."

"How are you doing this?" Zhao Bing asked. In fact, after the assassination, he ordered the Affairs Bureau to take over the matter. It would be impossible to just point at the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice to investigate.

"Your Majesty, after taking over, my subordinates immediately mobilized experts from the bureau to investigate, and now I have found some of my mistakes." Zheng Huchen replied, "The subordinates and coroners in the bureau have tested the body in detail. They have taken chronic poison in advance for assassination, and the toxic attack was just at the end of the ceremony, which means that an expert has given guidance to this matter, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence. Therefore, they definitely have accomplices, not act alone."

"In addition, according to the investigation at that time, Chen Qing was just a scholar who lived in seclusion and relied on the land left by his ancestors to collect rent. However, his subordinates saw that his hands and feet were rough, and his palms and knuckles were calloused. They were definitely not something a scholar should have, but a master who had been practicing hard for many years. Therefore, it is not as simple as luck that His Majesty can avoid his sudden and full-strength attack from his close-up."

"Then it's a fake to say that Chen Qing is a fake, and how can he escape the identification of the government?" Zhao Bing said in confusion after hearing this.

"What Your Majesty said was so sharp that this is what my subordinates think is strange, so they should investigate the officials involved in the matter in order to find new clues." Zheng Huchen said.

"Well, you see, this is a weapon used by the assassin. I have asked the guards in the palace, but they all don't know it. I suspect it is a Qimen weapon used by some people in the martial arts world. If you ask the people from the martial arts world in the bureau to identify it, maybe they can trace some clues through the origin of the weapons." Zhao Bing said as he handed the weapon on the table to Zheng Huchen and said.

"Your Majesty, this thing is very strange. I have never seen it before. Among my personal guards, there is a person from the world!" Zheng Huchen took it with both hands and looked at it carefully and said.

"Oh, where is he!" Zhao Bing asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, he is outside the palace." Zheng Huchen replied.

"Tell me the oral order and let him go to the palace to identify it!" Zhao Bing immediately ordered.

Zheng Huchen immediately left the palace after receiving the order. He brought a big man to the hall and handed him the weapon used by the assassin. After taking it, he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this thing is called the Heavenly Tiger Claw. The villain has seen it in the Western Regions many years ago, but how could it appear in Jiangnan!"

"Did you confirm that this thing is from India?" Zheng Huchen asked again without waiting for the little emperor to ask.
