Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 74
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Wuhen stood up, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Suida in front of him turning his head to look at him, with a gloomy and somewhat smug expression.

Xie Shuangge hummed, "Childish."

Chu Wuhen pretended not to see it, and waited for the emperor to speak first.

"Tell me, what's going on tonight? It's on fire and they're being chased, making people panic."

Lu Suida echoed: "Wei Chen wants to investigate thoroughly, but Master Chu has been obstructing him, saying that he has the right to kill first and then report, and directly robbed people to Beizhen Fusi. Wei Chen, the prefect of Jindu, is redundant. .”

The emperor glanced at him and said nothing.

Chu Wuhen ignored him, and Lu Suida was a little embarrassed for a while.

He closed his mouth in embarrassment, holding his breath and waiting for Chu Wuhen to say something.

Chu Wuhen said in a deep voice: "Returning to Your Majesty, this matter is extremely complicated. I have nothing to do today. I went to the east of the city and walked around the Lianjin River. I accidentally saw a naked man, so I asked someone to arrest him." The Zhen Fusi interrogated, and then heard that there was a fire in the Chengdong Yuelai gambling house, and the minister rushed to direct Jin Yiwei to put out the fire and save people, and Lord Lu and the Imperial Forest Army were also present at the time."

The emperor looked at Lu Suida: "Oh?"

Lu Suida hurriedly said: "Yes, I was originally at home. When I heard that there was a fire in the east of the city, the fire was very serious, so I rushed over immediately, asked the yamen to put out the fire, and asked the clerk of Yuelai Casino to ask for clarification, and then— —”

"Then Weichen came to the scene and saw the guys there, so he asked them where the shopkeeper was. They said they didn't know. Weichen sent someone to check, and he felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that his gambling house was on fire, so why didn't the shopkeeper show up? ?”

Chu Wuhen said clearly: "Jin Yiwei didn't find anyone, it was the soldiers guarding the city who came to inform that someone had escaped from the city under the name of Jin Yiwei, and checked with the clerk, that person was Meng Changji, the shopkeeper of the casino. , the fire was inseparably related to him, and I looked at the corpses carried out by the Imperial Forest Army."

The emperor's brows became tighter and tighter, and he also noticed the clue: "How about the corpse?"

"In Weichen's opinion, those people didn't struggle before they died. They seemed to have died quietly, or they might have died before the fire started. Weichen suspected that this was a planned murder, so he ordered Meng Changji to be hunted down, and All the people from Yuelai Casino were arrested and interrogated in prison, this is a confession, please read it your Majesty."

As soon as he beckoned, someone presented the confession immediately. Zhong Qian took it and handed it to the emperor. The emperor looked at it for a few times, and his face changed: "There is someone on the top? There is someone on the top!"

He slapped the armrest and asked sharply, "Have you found out who is above Meng Changji?"

Chu Wuhen was silent for a moment, then knelt down and said: "The things I found below are of great importance, Your Majesty, please screen others."

Lu Suida, who was listening enthralled, said: "..."

"What is the meaning of Master Chu? Who are you guarding against?"

"Guess you, why do you have to ask such a self-defeating question?" Xie Shuangge suppressed his sleepiness and yawned.

When Chu Wuhen heard her yawn, his eyes softened for a moment, and then he quickly restrained himself, "The reason why I snatched someone from Master Lu is also because it is not appropriate to spread the word."

He looked at the emperor, meaning something.

The emperor immediately reacted, his expression straightened, and he waved his hands and said, "You all step back."

Lu Suida was stunned, "Your Majesty..."

"Lu Aiqing worked hard tonight, go back and rest."

The emperor's tone was mild, but his eyes were sharp, obviously he could not refuse.

Lu Suida choked, and said embarrassingly, "Yes, my minister is retiring."

When passing by Chu Wuhen's side, he gouged out Chu Wuhen's eyes, and he really hated him so much.

Xie Shuangge didn't understand, "What's wrong with him?"

When she can go out, she must have a good talk with her uncle. Such a narrow-minded person is embarrassing!
After everyone went out, Chu Wuhen gave He Zhaoming a look. He Zhaoming understood, kicked Qin Lie to his knees on the ground, and then backed away.

Qin Lie grinned as he knelt on the ground in pain.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "This person is—"

"Return to Your Majesty, this person is called Qin Lie, he was captured by Wei Chen when he went out, and some time ago, I tracked down the whereabouts of the assassins in southern Xinjiang, some of them entered the Golden Capital, and the spy planted by Wei Chen was discovered, and escaped with a narrow escape. Come out and say that these southern border assassins have a special way to identify them."

While talking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out some medicine in the palm of his hand, and then patted Qin Lie on the back of the neck.

The emperor got up and walked over, looking down at Qin Lie, Chu Wuhen pressed Qin Lie's back, in case he suddenly violently attacked the emperor.

Within two breaths, a bright red peony pattern emerged from the back of Qin Lie's neck.

The emperor was taken aback, "Is this the tattoo they use to identify people?"

"Yes, at that time, the fine work didn't know about it, so it was exposed. Therefore, how many people entered Jindu, I don't know. However, the fire broke out tonight, connected back and forth, and I suspected that it was the assassins of Southern Xinjiang. Meng Changji The people above were afraid that they would show their feet, so they asked Meng Changji to kill him to silence him, and somehow this man narrowly escaped death and was hit by a humble minister."

After such a series of connections, the emperor also understood that Chu Wuhen was afraid of leaking the wind and scaring the snake, so he didn't allow outsiders to intervene, which is understandable.

He said to Chu Wuhen, "You get up first."

"Yes." Chu Wuhen got up and stood beside Qin Lie.

The emperor looked at Qin Lie carefully, and said in a deep voice, "Do you agree with what Wuhen said?"

At this point, Qin Lie knew that he would not be able to run away, and he probably would not be able to live, so he felt a bit like breaking the can.

He simply sat down on the ground and looked at the emperor calmly: "Yes, he is right, even too smart."

"I am an assassin from Southern Xinjiang. I entered Jindu together with the other 11 people. I originally wanted to join my master so that I could wait for the next plan. I didn't expect that the master thought we were in the way and asked Meng Changji to host a banquet with good food and wine. , I thought it was wrong at the time, it was not like the style of the master, so I kept it in mind, and then went to the toilet to vomit the wine, as expected, there was something in the wine, and the others were all fascinated after drinking it, and I also pretended to be unconscious It looks like waiting."

He sneered, "Meng Changji asked people to pour oil on us, and then set fire to the backyard of the gambling house. No matter how I told them not to wake up, I had to save my own life and run out first. Who knows My fate is so bad that I met him—”

He turned his head to look at Chu Wuhen, and ground his teeth: "If it wasn't for you, I should have run away now."

"However—" he changed the subject and suddenly laughed: "It's useless to catch me, I have never met the master, I was secretly trained as a killer when I was young, and I was stabbed with red peony on my body, saying that as long as Those who have this mark are masters, and they are destined to honor their ancestors in this life."

"Once I die, my family will be reused, and I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. So I don't care if my master wants my life. Everything is for the big plan. As long as the big plan can be achieved, I will be famous in history!"
