The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 557
At the same time, His Majesty Li Er also saw a memorial in Xuan Shijing's hand, and looked at Deyi standing beside him.

Deyi comprehended, walked down the steps, and walked in front of Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing handed over the memorial to Deyi, and Deyi returned to His Majesty Li Er with Xuan Shijing's memorial.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, a few days ago, I saw that spring was coming outside Chang'an City, so I took a group of people from the house to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County to stay for two days. So I went back to Chang'an on business, and just yesterday, Xiaochen's family members were assassinated by assassins on the way back to Chang'an, outside Chang'an, at the foot of the emperor, Xiaochen wants to seek justice for himself!" Xuan Shijing's last sentence , came out angrily, loudly.

After listening to Xuan Shijing's words, many ministers in the court breathed a sigh of relief. The family members of the Hou Mansion were assassinated. Who else would Xuan Shijing's family members be besides the Duke of Jin's wife Xuan Wang?

Just after the case in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, such a Zhuangzi incident happened again. The ministers present are all smart people. If you associate the two incidents together, you can naturally guess. Who would be so unwise? At this juncture, sending someone to assassinate Mrs. Jin Guogong, isn't this a clear revenge?
Xuan Shijing had just settled the case in the eastern suburbs, and then he was retaliated against, not to mention that the three aristocratic families involved in the settlement of the incident paid a lot of money, and Cheng Yaojin beat him up. Not to mention, the minds of the officials attached to the hands of the three aristocratic families were also scattered.Not two days after the incident, Mrs. Duke Jin met an assassin on the way back to Chang'an. What does His Majesty think? This is clearly a taboo, and it even involves the three great families.

This pot is too big, who will carry it?
After Xuan Shijing finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the hall, and then the ministers in the Tai Chi Hall began to whisper.

The officials of the Lu family in the court kept frowning. From the beginning of this incident, except for those officials who were involved in it and attached to the Lu family, the whole matter basically had nothing to do with the Lu family. When Xuan Shijing investigated the case in the eastern suburbs, the Lu family also remained unchanged and responded to all changes, so when Cheng Yaojin raised conditions with the three major families, the Lu family suffered the least loss.

This incident happened yesterday, but there is no news from the Lu family. Even if Mrs. Jin Guogong was assassinated outside Chang'an City, Xuan Shijing had just heard about it.

Lu Chengqing, who replaced Sun Yaoting as the left servant of the Ministry of War, stood in the center of the courtiers, looking towards the Zheng family from the corner of his eyes.
How could Lu Chengqing not know that when the case in the eastern suburbs came out, the Wang family's reaction was the most violent. Up to now, the Wang family's small actions behind the scenes are still constant. Although Wang Gui is seriously ill and can't control the affairs of the house, But at any rate, there are two sons who are not, but this time, on the way from Dongshan County to Chang'an City, Mrs. Jin Guogong's wife was assassinated, and there were not a few assassins who could attack the Dongshan Houfu convoy. The two brothers from the Wang family could not be mobilized, so there must be a shadow of the Zheng family behind this.

It's just that those who are a little thoughtful can think that there is no benefit in getting involved in this matter. In this case, why did the Zheng family send someone to help the Wang family?And what do the two juniors of the Wang family want to do?

Lu Chengqing thought about it for a while, but in the end he didn't come up with a reason, but there have been a lot of rumors in private in Chang'an recently, all of which are speculations about the Wang family, and they are all about the two brothers of the Wang family fighting for family property.

However, it is still unclear what Wang Gui's situation is now.
"Duke Jin met an assassin on the way back to Chang'an?" Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, His Majesty Li Er frowned fiercely.

"That's right, according to the servants present in the house, there are nine assassins in total."

"Nine people!"

Many ministers in the court could not help but gasp.

What is the concept of encountering nine assassins attacking outside Chang'an City? If there is no expert protection, it will be a dead end.

When the courtiers were amazed, Xuan Shijing was also secretly reacting to a large number of people, especially the Lu family and the Zheng family. Now Xuan Shijing has determined that the Wang family must not be able to escape the responsibility in this matter, but Wang Jingzhi alone, I am afraid It's impossible. To be able to escape from the hands of the three guards of the Hou Mansion and Xiao Huan and Xiaoji is definitely not an ordinary person. Wang Jingzhi is not so capable, so the rest is the Lu family and the Zheng family. Help Wang Jing to be straight, maybe only one family, maybe both are involved.

From the case in the eastern suburbs to the present, neither the Lu family nor the Zheng family have shown anything on the surface, and have not found out any actions in the dark, but as the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark.

Looking at it, Xuan Shijing found that Lu Chengqing was also looking around a lot, especially his eyes were the same as Xuan Shijing's, but they fell on Zheng's family.

Zheng Shanguo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, stood among a bunch of courtiers, his expression was very indifferent, so that Xuan Shijing couldn't see anything, let alone Xuan Shijing, even Lu Chengqing couldn't see why for a while.

"Jing'er, is your mother okay now? Was she frightened?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, my mother is fine, but this assassination made my mother feel bad. She was the one who was assassinated yesterday. Now she is just worried that every time the minister investigates a case, the Hou Mansion will Everyone will suffer retribution, this time it is her, next time it will be Xiao Chen himself, so, my mother told Xiao Chen, we must find out the murderer behind this scene, and dare to attack the noble family members of the court outside Chang'an city , is simply audacious, such a person will sooner or later be a scourge to our nobles of the Tang Dynasty."

When His Majesty Li Er heard Xuan Shijing's words, he was thoughtful. Nine assassins jumped out of Chang'an city for no apparent reason. If this matter is not investigated clearly, the people in Chang'an City will be in panic, and the courtiers will also be in danger.

His Majesty Li Er touched the beard on his chin, thinking carefully,

Obviously, Xuan Shijing can no longer be involved in this matter. After all, he misjudged the inconvenience caused by Xuan Shijing's age. A case in the eastern suburbs was secretly protected by Cheng Yaojin, and the case was closed. Some people have retaliated against the Dongshan Houfu, if this case continues to be handed over to Xuan Shijing for investigation, it is inevitable that the people behind it will not jump the wall in a hurry.
