Zhu Yihai opened the curtains and looked at the streets under martial law through the glass window. This was the first time he had left the palace since he came to the capital. For the extremely curious young man, he had long been impatient to stay in the boring palace all day long.

.Remembering the days when he was young and playing in Yanzhou City every day, Zhu Yihai wanted to go out for a walk more and more.

Unfortunately, under the strict palace regulations, he was not allowed to go out to play at all. Zhu Yihai could only read those boring Four Books and Five Classics every day, and only had a few eunuchs to play with him in his spare time.

When a sweaty man in black came out of the window facing the street and shouted: "Swear to kill the false emperor and eradicate the national traitors!", Zhu Yihai didn't realize what this guy was doing until he fell down on his car.

On the other side, I discovered that the fuse in this guy's arms was "squeaking" and "squeaking" smoking!

"Boom!" Smoke rose, and the last thing Zhu Yihai saw was shattered glass flying towards him.

The most serious case in Tianzihao was revealed, and Li Yongfang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The nine gates of the capital were immediately sealed to capture the assassin's accomplices. Almost at the same time, the defense level of the three boiled fish was raised.

Highest.

"The emperor was assassinated?" Sun Chengzong was an old fox who had become a spirit. He was so frightened that he sat upright when he heard the news. The cigarette in his hand fell on his clothes and burned a big hole.

Zhang Huangyan was quite calm, just biting his chopsticks and looking at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was also shocked. He didn't even have time to wipe off the red oil on the corner of his mouth. He ordered Shunzi to prepare a car. He wanted to go to the city to see for himself.

"Everyone, get out!" Zhang Huangyan ordered, and the servants immediately bowed and left. Shunzi looked at Li Xiao and saw that Li Xiao nodded and left with the guards.

"Boy! Tell me the truth, did you do this?" Sun Chengzong's eyes were like those of a tiger, staring at Li Xiao very unkindly.

"I did it? How is this possible? I have never thought about it like this." When Li Xiao heard Sun Chengzong's words, he immediately thought of the seriousness of the matter.

If someone wants to frame him, the consequences are very unpredictable. Although everyone in the Ming Dynasty now knows Li Xiao's powerful ministers, the powerful ministers and the powerful ministers who killed the king are fundamentally different things. The former can be tolerated by the people, but the latter will

He would be criticized verbally and writtenly by the entire Ming Dynasty. It is not impossible for some careerists to rebel in the name of revenge for the emperor.

We are not afraid of one or two people rebelling, but we are afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will start a prairie fire. By that time, even if the Liao army has millions of troops, it will be difficult to control the situation. The Ming Dynasty, which has just recovered some vitality, will immediately fall into a state of disintegration.

If the Mongols in the northwest take the opportunity to attack, it is difficult to say what will happen amid internal and external troubles.

"I have also thought that it might be you who did it. But..." Zhang Huangyan did not go on to say anything. Sun Chengzong did not know that Zhang gave birth to a child for Li Xiao. Even the news that Zhang was alive was not known to many people.

.

"But if someone takes the opportunity to attack, the consequences are unpredictable." Zhang Huangyan sighed. After all, the emperor was his nephew, and Zhang Huangyan taught him step by step in his studies these days. Although Zhu Yihai was not a very smart child, he still worked hard.

"You haven't shown the slightest interest in those rough men under your command?" Sun Chengzong was still staring at Li Xiao.

"What do you want me to say to make you believe it?" Li Xiao was a little anxious. Sun Chengzong thought the same thing. Maybe people outside would think. Maybe rumors have begun to spread in the capital.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but it's because if you want to kill someone, no one is easier than you. The Liao soldiers have military power in their hands. If you just wink at whoever you want to kill, someone will naturally rush to help you kill him.

As the saying goes, armed with a sharp weapon and willing to kill, you give up. When you reach this point, you don't need to say anything in person to kill people. How many people want to rely on you to make a fortune, and how many people want to rely on you to live a rich life. Some things, as long as they are not good for you.

Someone will stand up and do it, even if they risk their lives. Because behind you, you represent the interests of a large group of people with guns.

They have guns in their hands, so they naturally prefer to solve problems violently. I believe you would not do such a thing, but it is difficult to say whether it was done by those rough guys." Sun Chengzong sighed and reached their position.

.There are many people who hold the highest authority and do things based on what’s going on. God knows which bastard might do something like this if his head is wrong.

"Do you doubt Mr. Man, or Mr. Ao, Cao Wenzhao, or Zu Dashou?" A bunch of names suddenly popped up in Li Xiao's mind. These are all generals with military power who have this strength.

"Haha! These people are nothing more than dogs and horses. They wouldn't dare to do such a thing without your order." Sun Chengzong said coldly.

"It's not them, then you mean...my second child?" Li Xiao raised his head fiercely. If Li Xiu did this, then it would be shit.

"I am in charge of the Ming Dynasty Navy, with tens of thousands of desperadoes under my command. It is your brother again. When he gives an order, there are countless people vying to die." Sun Chengzong's eyes gradually became cold.

He could allow Li Xiao to become a powerful minister and even actually control the Ming Dynasty. But he could not allow Li Xiao to depose the emperor of the Zhu family and establish himself, at least not at this time.

For more than 270 years since the Ming Dynasty, the legitimacy of the Zhu family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What Sun Chengzong really wanted was for Li Xiao to become Zhang Juzheng, not to depose Zhu Yihai and sit on the throne of emperor himself.

If Li Xiao really did that, the ruling and opposition parties of the Ming Dynasty would be extremely divided. Overt and covert waves of opposition were surging. Li Xiao was a soldier. Soldiers liked to use violence to solve problems more than civilians. With a hammer in their hands, there were nails everywhere.

Once the knife is raised, killing becomes the only means, and it is impossible to stop.

Next year is the day of Zhu Yihai's wedding, and it is also the time for Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong to delegate power. Sun Chengzong is already considering letting Zhu Yihai review the memorial. But the power of approval must still be in the hands of him and Li Xiao. After all, the current state of the Ming Dynasty

, it is far from what a sixteen-year-old child can play. He puts the horse on the horse and sends him for a ride. Ten years later, the emperor will have experience and it will not be too late to hand over power.

Sun Chengzong thought so, but Li Xiu might not think so too.

"The second brother won't do this. If he wants to do it, he will definitely discuss it with me." Li Xiao shook his head firmly. He absolutely believed in Li Xiu, just like he believed in himself.

"Okay! Since you said that, I can't do anything about it. You'd better find out the truth, otherwise you will be in big trouble this time." Sun Chengzong finally withdrew his gaze, sat on the chair, reached for the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Smoking silently.

"I'd better go to the city to have a look and ask for the newspaper to be written tomorrow. You and Mr. Sun will come up with a charter on how to deal with this matter." Zhang Huangyan said that and went into the city.

Sun Chengzong did not speak, but lay down on the recliner. While smoking, he looked at the sky in a daze. This old guy only has to think about things!

Li Xiao walked back to the house irritably. He seemed to have something to do, but he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Huangyan hurried to the city and it was already dark, but he was stopped under the city gate.

"Open the city gate!" Zhang Huangyan dodged the lantern in the guard's hand, letting the people on top of the city tower see his face clearly.

"Sir Zhang, there is an order from the top not to open the city gate without the commander's handwriting. I can drag you up to the city!" The guy guarding the city is also a wonderful person. He actually dropped a big basket from the tower with a rope tied to it.

The rope can pull Zhang Huangyan up. There is no problem in pulling people up the city wall, as long as the city gate is not opened. This is the flexible technique of the little officer guarding the city gate!

Zhang Huangyan looked at the big basket and felt dumbfounded. But there was nothing he could do. The guard on the tower knew how to work around it. If he didn't know how to work around it, he would have to go back to Li Xiao to get the order.

Sitting in a big basket, he was dragged up the city wall. When he saw the saluting young officer, he raised his foot and kicked the bully, then threw him a silver dollar and asked him to drag his entourage up.

The explosion site was brightly lit, but because it was in the city, no electric lights were turned on. The old city within the nine gates was all wooden buildings. Once the wires were pulled in and started a fire, it would be easy for water to escape. If the fire spread into pieces, it would be

It was definitely a catastrophe for the people of the capital.

The wire reached Tongzhou New Town, but did not pull it within the Nine Gates. At night, the capital side was dark, while the area in Tongzhou next to the Chaobai River was brightly lit, and even the sky was reflected in red.

Zhang Huangyan surveyed the scene and found that the assassin was a tall and muscular man. He jumped in front of Zhu Yihai's carriage with a huge explosive bag in his hand, and the huge explosion force overturned the carriage.

Originally, for Zhu Yihai's safety, Ouchi sent five identical cars. No one knew which car Zhu Yihai was sitting in! According to the guard who survived, Zhu Yihai opened the curtains and stuck his head out to look out.

.

Zhang Huangyan saw Zhu Yihai's body. The carriage was covered with steel plates. Even if a bomb exploded, it would be difficult to kill the people in the car. The unlucky Zhu Yihai took it upon himself to open the curtains. The huge explosion shattered the glass on the window.

.At this moment, Zhu Yihai’s face was lying on the window.

Countless pieces of broken glass were nailed into Zhu Yihai's face, and the most fatal piece of glass was stuck in his neck, directly severing the carotid artery. Blood sprayed everywhere in the car, and the kid bled to death.

"Stop the body of Long Live immediately, and have someone take out all the glass. Be careful not to ruin Lord Long Live's face." Zhang Huangyan gave an order, and everyone had a backbone.

Action was taken quickly in the capital, and Zhu Yihai's body was put into a coffin after plastic surgery. In fact, the face could not be reshaped, and it was broken by the glass. After all the efforts of nine cows and two tigers were defeated, he could barely recover.

Even so, the emperor's appearance is something that even his own mother cannot recognize.

Martial law continued throughout the capital, and soldiers were running around looking for the killer's accomplices. Zhang Huangyan found it ridiculous. Now that he couldn't even find the killer, why would he be looking for the killer's accomplices? Seeing Li Yongfang acting like a frightened donkey, Zhang Huangyan

I also feel that now is not the time to cause trouble for him.

He hurriedly wrote a letter and sent his confidants out of the city to report the situation in the capital to Li Xiao. At the same time, he repeatedly warned Li Xiao to increase the defense strength of Tongzhou.

In fact, there is no need for Zhang Huangyan to worry. The security team has already surrounded Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong's villa in Tongzhou. Even a mouse must get the consent of the guards before it can enter. If anyone dares to act recklessly at this time, they will definitely be shot and dragged away first.

Killing is not wrong.

Li Xiao sat in the study and thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of someone. After giving the instructions, within an hour, Luo Yangxing, dressed in a flying fish suit, appeared in front of Li Xiao.

"Have you heard about what happened in the capital?" Li Xiao looked at Luo Yangxing and said coldly.

Nowadays, soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rarely wear traditional attire. On the streets of the capital, I haven’t seen a guy wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife for several years. This guy is actually wearing a flying fish suit. I really don’t know what he thinks.

of.

"I already know a rough idea! Banzai approached the window privately, and the explosion shattered the window glass. A piece of glass was inserted directly into Banzai's neck. Banzai's body was severely damaged, and his face was difficult to identify.

The killer was blown to pieces by the explosion and his hands and feet were severed. The identity of the killer has not been found so far. However, the guard who had a chance to escape said that when the guy jumped out of the window, he once shouted: swear to kill the false emperor and eliminate the national traitors!

The subordinates believe that the pseudo-emperor refers to Long Live the National Thief! It refers to the Commander-in-Chief! Therefore, the subordinates believe that the next target of the killers is the Commander-in-Chief." Luo Yangxing is worthy of being the leader of the Jinyiwei, and Li Xiao also

Even if he didn't know the situation, he knew it clearly and in such detail. Even if he beat Li Xiao to death, he wouldn't believe it. Ouchi doesn't have his informant now.

There might even be Jin Yiwei's spies hiding around him.

"If the case is handed over to you, can you solve it as soon as possible and give an explanation to the court?" Li Xiao didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"I wonder how many days the commander-in-chief gives his subordinates?"

"Three days!" Li Xiao gritted his teeth. Although he knew that this matter was a bit tricky, he was forced to do nothing. Now even Sun Chengzong was suspicious, let alone others. People inside and outside the court must be panicked now.

The case needs to be solved as soon as possible to calm people's minds.

"No! I will try my best to solve the case within three days. But...!" Luo Yangxing paused and looked up at Li Xiao.

"Just tell me if you have any requests." Li Xiao knew that Luo Yangxing was not so easy to talk to.

"Because we need to investigate the case, we also ask the commander-in-chief to restore the authority of the Jinyi Guards to ride. The Jinyi Guards have the right to question officials below the fourth rank of the imperial court."

Li Xiao frowned, but he was still wary of the Jin Yiwei. After all, these guys didn't have a good reputation before, and the prison was even more notorious.

"Okay! You can ask the court officials below the fourth rank, but this is only limited to civilian officials or local garrison generals. From top to bottom of the Liao army, you Jin Yiwei are not allowed to touch even a single soldier. Do you understand?"
