Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 69 Assassination
Standing under the porch, Xu asked: "Princess Jin, does King Jin already know what happened that day?"

"I told him." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

Xu was astonished, this was something she did not expect.

Then he thought, Jiang Changning didn't go to see the emperor, so of course he could speak frankly.

"Princess Jin, since you have nothing to do, please ask King Jin to raise your hand and stop dealing with the Xu family, is that okay?" Xu pleaded.

"I've heard a saying that if you don't see a dead body, it doesn't mean that the crime doesn't exist. You can pretend that you have never held a knife without washing your hands." Jiang Changning sneered, "Do you understand?"

"Princess Jin is unwilling to reconcile?" Xu asked in a deep voice.

"You should ask King Jin about this question." Jiang Changning didn't think he could influence King Jin's decision.

Mrs. Xu also felt that the matter was with King Jin, not with Jiang Changning. Just at this time, the female relatives who watched the ceremony came out of the new house, and their conversation ended here.

Everyone talked and laughed, and went to the front wedding hall to have a wedding banquet.

After nightfall, it was even more chilly. The name of the cold dish was icing on the cake, which had a good metaphor, but no one moved their chopsticks.

Ten hot dishes were delivered to the table, and everyone began to taste them.

"Oh, it's actually the handicraft of the Taotie Building." Said the eldest princess at the same table.

"The flower banquets in the Taotie Building are famous in Beijing, but it is not easy to invite a cook to make flower banquets."

"Thanks to the blessings of King Jin and King Yu, this month, we have had two feasts at the Taotie Tower."

Everyone talked and laughed, and at the beginning of Haishi, the wedding banquet ended.

As soon as he got into the carriage and greeted King Jin, Jiang Changning fell asleep on the brocade mat.

King Jin dimmed the oil lamp and ordered the coachman, "Drive the car steadily."

"Escort!" A scream instantly shocked Jiang Changning's drowsiness into the sky.

"Yes, there are assassins?" Jiang Changning suspected that he had misheard.

After all, this is the gathering place of the royal family in the capital, who is so bold as to ambush assassins here to deal with King Jin?

King Jin reached out and pulled Jiang Changning into his arms, "Don't be afraid."

Jiang Changning heard the sound of swords and swords intersecting, he was stunned, there really was an assassin,
"Protect the prince." It was Cao Jiang's voice.

It's not too far to go to Prince Yu's Mansion for a wedding banquet, and Prince Jin didn't bring too many guards with him.

But the guards knew that if something happened to Prince Jin, they would die, so they tried their best to protect the prince.

As long as they survive, they will have endless blessings.

Even if he died, he would still be loyal to the Lord, and the family would be protected by the palace.

The guards were not afraid of death, fighting desperately with the assassin near the carriage.

King Jin opened the curtain and looked outside calmly.

Jiang Changning snuggled up beside him and also looked out.

The light was dim, and I could only see the swaying figures, and couldn't distinguish between friends and foes, but it was conceivable that the guards of the palace should be at a disadvantage.

After a while, the guards on patrol rushed over upon hearing the news, "What's going on?"

"There are assassins who assassinated King Jin." Someone replied.

Hearing this, the little commander of the Guards almost fainted. Why did he encounter such a difficult situation?
But now that he has met him, he can't back down and shouted: "Protect the prince."

The combat strength of the guards is average, and it is used to deal with ordinary thieves.

Fortunately, the guards of the palace are all elite, the guards don't need to hurt the enemy, as long as they entangle the assassins, the guards can gain the upper hand.

"Keep a few alive." Chang Youzhong said hastily when he saw that his side had the chance to win.

He shouted just in time, Cao Jiang changed his style, instead of directly cutting the opponent's throat, the sword sank and stabbed at the opponent's shoulder.

With the danger lifted, Jiang Changning had the energy to think about who would have arranged the assassination.

Jiang Changning didn't know much about Jin Wang's political enemies.

The most recent feud is Prince Qing's Mansion.

Jiang Changning remembered what Xu said, "Yong Zhou, are you dealing with the Xu family?"

"Ms. Xu is looking for you." King Jin said with certainty.

Jiang Changning recounted all the conversations between her and Mrs. Xu.

The sentence that no corpse was seen does not mean that the crime does not exist. It means that you can pretend that you have never held a knife without washing your hands, which is deeply appreciated by King Jin.

"Ning Ning is right. Since he took the knife, he had the intention of hurting someone, regardless of whether he was hurt or not." King Jin patted Jiang Changning's head.

His little princess has a kind heart and a kind heart, but she will not have a bottom line, which is very good.

"Was the meeting arranged by Duke Wei's mansion?" Jiang Changning suspected that Xu's talking to her was to confuse her.

King Jin was about to say something, when someone outside the carriage said, "Sun Yiliu, the commander of the [-]rd Brigade on the East Road of the Duwei Army, came late to rescue him, and begs His Royal Highness King Jin to forgive me."

Cao Jiang also knelt in front of the carriage, "The little ones are incompetent, which surprised the prince."

The door opened, and King Jin came out of the carriage, "You didn't neglect your duties, and the guards came in time. Where is the concubine's carriage?"

Under the guidance of Chang Youzhong, King Jin went to the carriage where the concubine was sitting, "Concubine mother, it's all right."

The concubine raised the curtain and asked eagerly, "Brother Yu, are you injured?"

"I'm not injured." King Jin said with a smile.

"It's good that you're not injured." The concubine felt relieved, "Brother Yu, there must be nothing wrong with you."

In order to reassure the concubine, King Jin asked Princess Kangren to go to the last carriage, and he accompanied the concubine.

Back at the palace, King Jin waited for the concubine to rest before returning to Rujingyuan.

The next day, the news that King Jin was assassinated last night had spread throughout the various prefectures, causing a lot of discussion.

The assassination of King Jin was even more shocking. Jiang Changning's expulsion from his concubine was covered up, and not many people noticed it.

This disappointed Qiao, who intended to use this incident to tarnish Jiang Changning's reputation.

During the morning court that day, the emperor asked a few words with concern, "I heard that there were still female relatives around at that time, so I'm afraid you were quite frightened when you encountered this incident?"

"Although the incident happened suddenly, fortunately the Duwei Army came in time, so there was no danger." King Jin smiled lightly.

"Such bad incidents are never allowed to happen again." The emperor took the opportunity to transfer 5000 Shangzhi troops stationed outside the city into the city.

Of the three prisoners who were imprisoned by the guards, it is said that two of them could not stand the torture and died.

Of course, this is only news that outsiders know. In fact, those two people were secretly transferred out by King Jin and locked up in his former Huaibei County Prince's Mansion.

Although he inherited his elder brother's title, the title of Huaibei County King is still retained.

As the third-generation prince, his second son can be awarded the title of Fuguo General, but now he can inherit the title of Huaibei County King.

However, if Jiang Changning only had one son, then the title of King of Huaibei County would have to be returned to the court after a hundred years from King Jin.

In the dark secret room of the county prince's mansion, lying on the ground was a piece of flesh and blood that could no longer be called a human being without a piece of intact skin.

It was one of the smuggled victims, King Jin sat on a chair not far from him, watching him quietly.

The lump of flesh and blood struggled to support his head, "Everyone knows that King Jin is humble, polite, tolerant and kind, but they don't want to say in private that King Jin is a cruel and vicious person."

"What kind of person is your master?" King Jin asked.

The lump of flesh lay back on the ground, refusing to answer his question.

King Jin laughed, "Assassins are mostly dead soldiers. It seems to be true. Those who can spend a lot of money to support dead soldiers and want my life are just a few. Who is behind the scenes? My king Not interested in knowing."

"You don't want to know why you still have to smuggle me out and lock me up here?" The fleshy lump asked sarcastically.

"it works."

As for what it is useful for, King Jin is not responsible for answering the question.
