Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 380
Su Chen fell asleep again, this time his consciousness recovered, and his sleeping state improved a bit. In order not to worry his family and friends, he asked Mr. Meng to send someone to Peng's mansion to report his safety, and planned to return home early tomorrow morning.

His refusal to show up also made the royal family nervous, knowing his importance to the palace and his danger, which attracted more people's attention.

At the same time, using this assassination incident can also form greater public opinion, which will help his rumors spread.

Sure enough, the topic surrounding Su Chen the next day spread like a tornado in Jinling City.

"Last night, Su Chen had six pairs and six best matches, overwhelming the Song Dynasty's No. [-] Hanlin. Every pair was so tough and neat. It's worthy of being Jiangzuo Sulang!"

"Although the pair is right, this is still a trivial way after all, but Mr. Su's Qixi Ci "Magpie Bridge Immortal" can be described as a masterpiece through the ages, and there is no one before. Impossible."

"The number one Qixi Ci in the ages!" Hearing the words, the audience gasped, this name is not insignificant!

"Jiangzuo's number one talented scholar, well-deserved reputation!"

Everyone expressed emotion, in the streets and alleys, among the literati, talented people, people of all levels, whoever heard what Su Chen did in Xiyuan last night, they all clapped their hands and praised.

After all, Su Chen represented the talents of the Tang Dynasty, and in the literary battle with the second-ranked scholar of the Song Dynasty, he won and showed off his demeanor, and the people of Jinling felt that his face was radiant.

Some people went to other poetry clubs last night, and the gifted scholars and apprentices who didn't go to the Xiyuan Poetry Club felt it was a pity that they didn't see Su Chen's demeanor last night with their own eyes.

However, this discussion was quickly overshadowed by another news, that is, Su Chen was surrounded and killed by a group of black-clothed assassins of unknown origin on his way back to Peng's residence last night, resulting in unknown whereabouts, life and death.

Early this morning, the Jiangning government government mobilized all the police to search for clues, search house to house, and interrogate outsiders with unknown origins. If anyone could be arrested, they would be arrested immediately, which alarmed Jinling City.

"Who is trying to harm Mr. Su? It's too wicked!" Some people were resentful and dissatisfied.

A scholar in green clothes nodded and said: "That's right, Su Chen is a talented scholar from Jiangzuo, a literary leader of the younger generation, someone wants to murder him, and this is to make things difficult for us scholars in Jiangnan!"

"Could it be the Song people who did it, because Su Chen made the Song country's envoys look irrelevant and made them lose face."

"It's not impossible, we should go to the Guofu post where the Song Dynasty envoys live to protest!" A Tai student offered to get some people's support.

Ever since, hundreds of students from Taitai College gathered at the post house where the Song Dynasty envoy temporarily lived to protest.

However, it was soon learned that Tao Gu and Dou Yi were both assassinated by the envoys of the Song Dynasty last night. However, Dou Yi was lucky and was not injured, but Tao Gu was not so lucky. The imperial physician in the palace is treating and rescuing the sick.

"Who did this? The envoy of the Song Dynasty was also attacked at night, and Su Chen was also assassinated. When did the law and order in Jinling City become so bad?"

Some people in Jinling are all amazed that there have been few such complicated incidents in the past two years, and assassins often assassinate and kill people at night!

It seemed that from the moment Su Chen entered Jinling, it never stopped.

Do you have to be jealous of talents!

Inside the palace, Chengxintang's study room.

Li Yu was furious, and yelled at the officials in charge of the Jinwu Guard, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, Yushitai, etc., because these departments in charge of criminal affairs and wind direction had found nothing about the mastermind behind the scenes, and allowed the conspiracy cases against Su Chen to continue to happen , It is really a provocation to the imperial court's penalty law.

"The last time I investigated the murder of the son of the family, the murder of the palace eunuch, the poisoning of the prince, and the ambush of Su Chen outside Jinling City, all of them should be solved quickly. I don't believe it. Jiangnan is such a big place. No!"

Li Yu scolded, Su Chen is currently not only the healer of the queen and the second prince, but also a great talent in Jiangzuo, and he can entrust him with important tasks in the future.

Therefore, even if Su Chen doesn't have any fame right now, he is someone who needs to be taken seriously by the imperial court and the royal family.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Doctor Yushi, General Jin Wuwei, etc., all bowed their heads and listened to the training.

"Has Su Chen been found so far?"

Zhang Yi, the minister of punishment, said: "Not yet."

Li Yu's face became more serious, and he shouted: "Mobilize the Jinwu Guards and the Forbidden Army, and search the entire city under martial law. We must find Su Chen's whereabouts!"

"Obey!" General Ma Chengxin of the Jinwu Guard bowed his hands and obeyed the order.

Li Yu asked again: "What clues were found at the scene? Are the people who assassinated the envoys of Song Dynasty the same group as those who intercepted Su Chen?"

Zhang Yidao, the servant of the Criminal Ministry: "When you return to the official's house, the weapons of the assassins found at the scene are not the same. The assassins who assassinated Mr. Tao and Mr. Dou, the envoys of the Song Dynasty, left behind weapons from the grassland Liao Kingdom, while the assassins who assassinated Su Chen The weapons left behind belong to the military weapons of Song State."

"Khitan? Song?"

After Li Yu heard the words, his head got a little big. Why did it involve the diplomatic relations of Liao and Song? This is the last thing he wants to face.

"Could it be framed?"

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "It's possible, because real assassins, in order to keep their identities secret, generally don't deliberately use weapons with obvious marks to avoid leaking secrets, but these two assassins deliberately leave marks that are easy to recognize at a glance It is very likely that the weapon is used to divert misfortune and plant it on others, so as to kill two birds with one stone."

"For example, assassinating the chief and deputy envoys of Song State's envoys and destroying the normal diplomatic relations between Song State and Tang State is indeed beneficial to Liao State. They have always hoped that Tang State and Song State will turn against each other, hold back the main force of Song State, and will not go north to attack Youyun Sixteen Prefectures The people behind the scenes have seen this clearly. Even though they also intend to destroy the relationship between Song and Tang, they seem to be throwing the blame to the Liao people. Have this idea."

Li Yu nodded slightly, feeling that what he said made sense.

"Go on!"

"Here!" Zhang Yi bowed and cupped his hands, and continued: "As for the interception and killing of Su Chen and the others, the weapons used by the Song State Army even left the badge of Wu Desi, which should be the same as the last time I ambushed outside Jinling City." Su Chen and the others had exactly the same idea, they took advantage of Song people's fear of Jiang Zuo's reputation as the number one talented person, and they wanted to get rid of him deliberately, but it was actually a cover-up, and they wanted to get rid of the blame."

"It makes sense!" Li Yu has already roughly understood the evil intention hidden here.

At this time, Zhu Kuangye, Minister of Dali Temple, said: "The officials and ministers heard something involving Mr. Wei, Mr. Bian, and Mr. Li. The three of them clashed with Su Chen and Peng Qingqing on the Qinhuai River last night. I don’t know if these people harbored resentment and sought out assassins.”

Li Yu's face turned cold and said: "Send someone to investigate, no matter who is involved, we must thoroughly investigate!"
