Chapter 671
A few days later, the news of Su Chen's murder spread in Runzhou City and Jinling City.

"Have you heard that Jiangzuo Sulang was killed?"

"No way, he was killed just a few days after he left. Could it be that he was killed by the Song people?"

"It is said that none of Su Chen and the wives survived, they all died."

"Song people are too bad, if you want to leave Su Chen, you want to murder, God is jealous of talents!"

The common people didn't know the reason, and they all suspected that the people of Song deliberately made trouble and killed Su Chen on the way, otherwise, they wouldn't have died after leaving Su Chen and just entering Song Jing in the north.

Many people were full of anger towards the Song people.

Many court ministers heard the news, loved ones were hurt, enemies were happy.

For example, Han Xizai, after hearing the news of Su Chen's death, was filled with grief and indignation, and fell ill again that day.

"Yixuan, I'm sorry for you!"

Han Xizai yelled in the room, because he had dug out Su Chen and recommended him to be an official in the imperial court.

Not only did he fail to protect Su Chen, it was shameful enough that he was sent to the north as a hostage as an exchange by the court, but now he died on the way and was murdered.

This made Han Xizai even more unbearable, and felt a deeper sense of self-blame towards Su Chen.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, the old man is ashamed of you, died young, God is jealous of talents!"

Han Xizai was so heartbroken that he fell ill and was bedridden again.

Xu Xuan, Xu Kai, Zhong Mo, Gao Yue and others couldn't help feeling sad, sympathetic, and sighing after hearing it, feeling that it was a pity.

Southern Tang Palace.

After Li Yu heard the news, he fell silent with a complicated expression.

In terms of talent and learning, Li Yu admired Su Chen, was a little jealous, and felt a little guilty, because he ordered Su Chen to be sent away in exchange for the peace talks between Tang and Song Dynasties, and earned a breath of peace time.

However, now that Su Chen was killed and died in the Song Dynasty, Li Yu was a little sad and a little scared. Sure enough, the people of the Song Dynasty had no credibility. If the Tang Dynasty was captured by the Song Army and he was captured in Bianjing, would he also be killed?
At this moment, it seemed that there was a feeling of sadness when the rabbit died and the fox. Li Yu thought that if Tang Guo was not protected in the future, he would die.

"Decree to posthumously confer Su Chen as Duke Ding, to return Su Chen's body and prepare for a grand burial!"

Li Yu asked the servants of Chengxintang to write down the order, conveyed the order to the servant of Huangmen, and drafted the imperial decree for a generous burial.

In the harem of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After the big week, Zhou Ehuang was chatting with Zhou Jiamin, comforting the younger sister to look away, and it would not be impossible to go to Su Chen again in two years. At this moment, the palace maid came in in a panic and revealed the news of Su Chen's murder.

Zhou Ehuang and Zhou Jiamin were both stunned, as if they didn't react.

"Who, who did you say was killed?" Zhou Jiamin couldn't imagine it, stood up suddenly, the cup in his hand fell to the ground, and fell directly to the ground and broke.

Zhou Jiamin looked nervous, looked at the palace maid emotionally, and asked aggressively: "Hurry up."

The palace maid said tremblingly, "It's Su Chen, the Marquis of Dingguo, and the news of his death came."

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Zhou Jiamin was already in tears, shaking his head, completely in disbelief.

Empress Da Zhou also had a look of surprise and sadness, and murmured: "How did this happen, where did the news come from?"

"The news has spread both inside and outside the palace, and the people of Jinling know about it. The news should not be false."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiamin felt as if struck by lightning, her body shook, her face was filled with grief, and she burst into tears: "Su Chen. Brother Su. What happened to you?"

"Who did it, do you have any conclusive news?" Da Zhouhou was calmer than her sister, so she planned to ask more questions before judging the veracity of the rumors.

The maid shook her head and said: "I don't know who killed him, but it is believed that the people of Song Dynasty killed him. He died as soon as he went to Yangzhou in the Song Dynasty. He has nothing to do with the people of Song Dynasty."

"I'm going to ask Brother-in-law Huang." Zhou Jiamin was about to run two steps, but she was dizzy. The news was so shocking and exciting that she couldn't bear it at such a young age, and she fainted directly.

Empress Da Zhou was taken aback, and immediately asked the maid to support Zhou Jiamin, and put her on the bed to rest and recuperate, so as to relieve the blow of the bad news.

At this time, Princess Yongning seemed to have also heard the news, and ran over with tears and a sad expression on her face. After coming to Dazhou, she wanted to ask the queen here, is the news true?

Looking at Yongning's expression, Zhou Ehuang knew in his heart that this Princess Yongning seemed to be particularly concerned about Su Chen and was moved by feelings, so she was so nervous and excited.

"Don't worry, the matter has yet to be verified, and I'll talk about it after I personally ask the officials." Zhou Ehuang sighed, feeling a little sad in his heart, which was extremely complicated.

Jinling Wei Mansion.

When Wei Cen heard the news of Su Chen's murder, he was very happy. It happened that Chen Jue and Feng Yanlu came over to drink tea, and the three shared their opinions and joys about the news.

"That's great. Su Chen is an amazingly talented person. If he goes to Song State in the north and is entrusted with important tasks, he can quickly increase the national strength and influence of Song State in business, culture and other aspects. At that time, people everywhere And the princes, they will feel that it is orthodox for the Song Dynasty to unify the world, and we in the Tang Dynasty noticed that the command was getting bigger and bigger, and it was unexpected that he was killed on the way, but it relieved our worries." Feng Yanlu said with a smile.

Wei Cen nodded, laughed and said: "That's true. In fact, Brother Chen Juexian and I have discussed whether to send someone to the north and assassinate Su Chen on the way, so that we can kill and destroy such terrifying talents without leaving any traces. However, he was worried that his feet would be exposed. At that time, he would commit the wrath of the world and affect the peace talks between Tang and Song Dynasties, so he endured it and did not send it out. Unexpectedly, Su Chen was preempted by other forces, and he was still doomed. It's fun!"

Chen Jue pondered: "It is very likely that it was made by the Khitan people, or it may be the Northern Han and Shu Kingdoms. After all, Khitan, Northern Han, and Later Shu are most worried about the growth of the Song Dynasty. This Su Chen is too talented, so I am worried about the Song Dynasty. If the country gets Jiangzuo Sulang, it will gain huge benefits and pose a threat to them, so sending people to assassinate is justified and logical."

"It makes sense, all parties have their reasons for murdering Su Chen, and they all don't want Song to get this talent!" Feng Yanlu said the key point.

"We'll be at the mansion tonight, have a drink and celebrate!" Wei Cen was very excited, he had already disliked Su Chen.

Chen Jue couldn't help laughing and said: "That's right, getting rid of this worry will indirectly weaken the benefits of the Song Kingdom, which is in the interests of our Jiangnan, and it is worth celebrating tonight!"

But soon, in the afternoon of the same day, the news about the murder of Su Chen was the official Wei Cen of Jiangnan Tang Dynasty who sent someone to commit the murder. The facts were solid, and the news spread again.

Wei Cen was in the mansion, halfway through drinking with Feng Yanlu and Chen Juegang, a guard ran over and told the rumor that 'Master Wei is the mastermind behind the scenes', the three adults were dumbfounded.
