Chapter 573 Assassination of Prince Consort
Those people quickly moved towards the courtyard where the son-in-law was. The son-in-law was taking a bath, and he didn't take it seriously when he heard the movement outside. He just took it as the sound of servants walking around in Prime Minister Lou's mansion.

But as the other party got closer, he felt more and more that something was wrong. The servants all woke up in the morning to sweep the courtyard, why there was such a big commotion tonight.

His eyes froze suddenly, knowing that it was not a good thing, he immediately pulled the clothes on the screen and put it on his body, and was about to go out to see what was going on, when the door of the room was kicked open from the outside.

The son-in-law put on a belt to make himself look less embarrassed.

When the other party saw that it was the son-in-law, he immediately drew his sword from his body, and moved towards the son-in-law's head in awe-inspiring manner.

The son-in-law is also good at kung fu, but you are so dissolute, his body is almost ripped out, he dodges in a panic, and there is a lot of movement in the room, but no one in the prime minister's mansion seems to have heard it.

The son-in-law dodged left and right, managed to escape the opponent's attack, then rushed out of the room and ran out of the yard.

He ran, yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Help, come, there are assassins."

Prime Minister Lou's mansion is naturally much larger than other officials' mansions, obviously the distance is not that far during the day, but tonight somehow becomes so long.

He quickly ran towards the courtyard of Prime Minister Lou who was closest to him, but the man chasing him behind him moved very fast. When the son-in-law looked back to see where they were, he didn't notice the stone under his feet and was suddenly tripped to the ground.

The son-in-law hurt his palms and knees from knocking, but he didn't care so much, he quickly got up and continued to run.

Even if he ran out of breath, even if his lungs seemed to explode, he didn't dare to rest for a while, for fear of being caught by the opponent and losing his life.

Those assassins were also very unprofessional, and compared with the people who were photographed by Princess Xinyang to assassinate him, they seemed a little inferior.

The son-in-law ran like crazy, and when he was about to run less than ten feet away from Prime Minister Lou's courtyard, he felt that the people behind him were chasing him more and more closely.

"Come on, help me."

Because the son-in-law ran too fast, the air in his lungs seemed to be squeezed dry. He roared hoarsely, but the sound he made was very small.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly rushed over, brandishing his long sword and stabbing at him.

The son-in-law hurriedly dodged, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell to the ground.

He groaned inwardly, and was about to get up, when the opponent pierced his calf with a sword.

The blade of the sword penetrated directly through his calf, and the son-in-law screamed in pain, startling the birds that perched on the surrounding trees to flutter their wings and take off.

"who?"

The servants in Prime Minister Lou's courtyard ran out, and the men in black hurriedly scattered and fled when they saw this.

The servants saw the son-in-law slumped on the ground, wearing only a thin inner garment, and his trousers were already soaked in blood.

The servant hurriedly carried the son-in-law back to the yard, and called the doctor.

Prime Minister Lou came late, and when he saw his son-in-law in distress, he yelled in his heart that he was not good.

The doctor had already treated the wound for the son-in-law, but because the wound was narrow but penetrated his entire calf, the doctor could only sew up the wound for him.

Nowadays, almost all the doctors can sew up wounds. After they have learned this technique, the wounds they sew up are more beautiful and the scars left are lighter.

The son-in-law looked at the swollen legs, and looked at Prime Minister Lou with anger in his eyes.

"You old man, my son-in-law was injured in your mansion, what should you do? Fortunately, my son-in-law is lucky, otherwise I would have really confessed here."

Prime Minister Lou sneered from the bottom of his heart, if you had this awareness long ago, why are you suffering so much?

Tonight's assassin was pretended by Xing Chuan, the purpose was to make the son-in-law suffer, so as not to let go of the evidence.

Now that Princess Xinyang is in the capital city, she has been unable to convict her for a long time. Her behavior has become more and more perverse, and she occasionally mocked Li Jing for not being able to convict her, and even clamored to return to the fiefdom.

The envoys of Haoyue Kingdom arrived at this time again, a Haoyue monarch was already very difficult to deal with, and it would be even more difficult if Princess Xinyang made troubles while taking advantage of the time.

For this reason, Li Jing could only give the son-in-law strong medicine. As long as he handed over the evidence and dealt with Princess Xinyang, they could concentrate on dealing with the people of Haoyue Kingdom.

Although Prime Minister Lou knew it in his heart, he was puzzled.

"Have you ever seen the characteristics of the person who hurt you? The truth must be explained to the son-in-law."

Prime Minister Lou asked, the son-in-law thought about it seriously, maybe he forgot the pain, he was speechless, frowning and thinking about it carefully.

"Those people were wearing night clothes, which covered their faces. I couldn't see clearly at all. However, their sabers were very different from ours."

The son-in-law also thought of so much, Prime Minister Lou pretended to be thinking.

"Looking at the son-in-law's wound, the sword is indeed very narrow. The people of Haoyue Kingdom are good at scimitars. I heard that there is a mysterious team in Haoyue Kingdom that uses this very narrow saber.

Could it be that the people of Haoyue Kingdom thought that you betrayed Princess Xinyang and ruined the plan of the King of Haoyue Kingdom to return to Haoyue Kingdom, so they sent someone to assassinate you?
Or the subordinates of Princess Xinyang?I have seen the princess's subordinates also use this kind of narrow sword. "

Prime Minister Lou deliberately said this, the purpose was to scare the son-in-law, making him feel that if he stayed in the capital city now, if he didn't hand over the evidence, I'm afraid he would have no chance to show the evidence.

Prime Minister Lou paused for a moment and didn't continue to speak. He knew very well that the son-in-law is a smart man, and the reason why he has not handed over the evidence is to get greater benefits.

But human nature is too greedy, he can only choose the same between life and death and interests.

After listening to Prime Minister Lou's words, the son-in-law thought silently, but now he has not achieved his goal, so he is the first to show his cards. What if Li Jing doesn't talk about martial arts?
Didn't he lose his wife and lose his army, and all his troubles were in vain in the end.

"Let me think about it." The son-in-law is not an idiot either, he also guessed that maybe it was Li Jing who murdered him, otherwise he yelled so loudly, why didn't even anyone come out.

Prime Minister Lou yawned, "Since the son-in-law is fine, I will go back to rest first. The envoy from Haoyue Kingdom has arrived, and Yi Yang and I are very busy. We are getting old, and our body really can't take it anymore.

The son-in-law has an early holiday, and after tomorrow morning, the next official is looking at you. "

After Prime Minister Lou left, doubts flashed in the eyes of the son-in-law, and now he is also confused, who on earth is so cruel to him.

Whether it is the eldest princess of Xinyang, the monarch of Haoyue Kingdom, or Li Jing, these three people are all he can't afford to provoke.
