Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1082 Hu Sanguang is Dead

"My lord, be careful!" Zheng Bao yelled wildly.

With a buzzing sound, the two giant guns and crossbows were fired at the same time. At this time, the master of the Operations Department was unknowingly drawn away, and the carriage that had been tightly covered before had completely exposed the giant guns and crossbows. Down.

Bang, bang, bang, several short crossbows and guns hit the carriage. The barrel of the gun was deeply embedded in the carriage, and the huge vibration caused the carriage to overturn on its side.At the same time, Hu Sanguang flew out of the carriage with a face full of anger.He rushed straight to the surface of the lake, snatched two spears on the way, leaped a distance of several feet, and saw that he was about to fall to the water, the spear in his hand still fell into the water, stepped on his toes, and flew up again.Although Hu Sanguang paid attention to enjoyment in his life in the past two years, his martial arts did not decline. On the contrary, he took advantage of his position and power to collect many wonderful secret books, practice hard, and his strength has improved.

The assassin on the boat seemed to have been taken aback by Hu Sanguang's wonderful lightness kung fu. He hesitated for a while, but Hu Sanguang got closer, and then he realized that the two of them were busy restringing their guns and crossbows, while the other picked it up with both hands. Artemisia pole, let out a loud shout, and swept towards him.

Hu Sanguang didn't dodge or dodge, put his hands together, like a piece of flying catkins on the pole, quickly slid down along the top of the pole.The fisherman on the boat was obviously at a loss, loosened his hands, and threw away the pole in his hand, but Hu Sanguang had already jumped close to the boat, his hands were in the air, and the pole was a little bit in the water, and he had already rushed over in the air.

As soon as his toes stepped on the side of the boat, Hu Sanguang had already twisted the fisherman with his hands, and the sound of bone fractures sounded immediately. Dodging forward, without waiting for the two people twisting the string to make any movement, their cold hands touched their throats, and with a little force, they pinched and broke the throat.

Hu Sanguang came to kill him, Zheng Bao dared not be negligent, he dodged and rushed to another fishing boat, and killed the person who operated the giant gun and crossbow on it.

At this time, the banks of Sanyang Lake are already filled with blood!
It was inconvenient for the two of them to stay on the boat, so they jumped up and jumped to the shore.At this moment, there was a crackling sound coming from under the water. If the operators in the newly formed Hundred-Fat Crossbow Company of each legion heard this sound, even in the water, the sound was a little different, but most of them could hear it. The sound of the Hundred-Fat Crossbow before it was fired.Waves appeared on the surface of the water under the two of them, and the next moment, hundreds of crossbow arrows shot out from the water at the same time, covering the two who were jumping in the air.

The faces of the two of them changed drastically, and their body skills were used to the extreme, but at such a short distance, and the coverage of a hundred crossbow arrows was too wide, even with their body skills, they could not dodge in the end.Hearing chi chi chi chi chi, the two of them had been shot into hedgehogs.Dead on the spot.At this time, a pipe half an inch out of the water quickly moved away.

The giant crossbows and guns on the two ships were the only thing that threatened Hu Sanguang at the beginning of this assassination, and the person who operated the giant crossbows and guns would never be a master under normal circumstances, and it was on the lake At a glance, there were only four people on the two boats, and there would be no ambushes under normal circumstances.Therefore, they chose to kill the people on the two ships that threatened the most at the first time. Whether it was Hu Sanguang or Zhenbao, it can only be said that they reacted extremely quickly and decisively in the assassination just now.However, who would have thought that there is a hundred-shot crossbow that can be launched underwater without affecting it.

The fact that the Baifa crossbow can be launched underwater is unknown even to Liu Dongming and other master craftsmen in the weaponry production base of Xiangfu Kingdom, who developed this terrifying weapon. Field assassination has been tested underwater before.

.........

With the delay of the Baijia Banquet and the chopstick snake assassination incident, it was already evening when Ye Chen and his party arrived in Huayang County.I rested in Huayang County that night, and did not leave immediately the next day.For the people in the village, Ye Chen not only didn't move people, but also comforted him a few words, but without Ye Chen's orders, the spies from the Ministry of Security had already stared at the village, and a secret investigation had already started. His relatives and friends, as well as the villagers who have been in contact with them these days, will naturally be secretly called for questioning.

However, Wang Boju, the county magistrate, was temporarily detained and accepted the investigation of the Ministry of Security. Ma Wentao's face was very ugly because of this. Wang Boju had a close relationship with him, and he recommended him to be an official.

"Your Majesty, when I was an official in the Song Dynasty, Wang Boju was already an aide of the minister when he was the magistrate of Yanzhou. He has been with the minister for ten years. I dare to guarantee with my life that this matter has nothing to do with him." In the temporary walk, Ye Chen sat behind the desk, Lian Jicheng and Shangguan Bingyun stood in a corner of the room, Ma Wentao hesitated and spoke.

Ye Chen said with a half-smile: "Ma Aiqing, you can be sure that you really know Wang Boju so well."

Ma Wentao's heart skipped a beat, he knelt down with a thump, and said with a gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, I recommended Wang Boju to be an official at the beginning, although he was the minister's staff, but mainly because he was practical and capable, and I was dedicated to serving the public. , Your Majesty, please be aware."

Ye Chen said: "Ma Aiqing has always promoted the virtuous and never shunned relatives. Of course, I know this. Wang Boju of Huayang County is indeed governed well. The officials are clear and bright, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In the past two years, they have indeed become a lot richer. But this It doesn't mean that he really has no problems. Meng Feiyang, who was recommended by Zhang Bo before, to be in charge of the Agricultural Research Department also made great contributions and did a good job, but this person is dressed up by Cui Xi, the demon king."

Ma Wentao's face suddenly turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Ye Chen glanced at Ma Wentao, and couldn't bear to see this confidant minister who was dedicated to state affairs suffer too much, and then said: "Ma Aiqing has heard of the Holy Church before, and should also know that the Holy Church was used by various forces in the world in the early years. There are many secrets buried in it. Not to mention the weird and unpredictable methods of Cui Xi and Yufeng, even if there is no problem with Wang Boju, it does not mean that there is no problem now. Don't worry! I will make this matter safe I can promise you that as long as it is clear that this matter has nothing to do with Wang Boju, he will still be the parent officer of Huayang County afterwards, and as long as he does a good job, his promotion and transfer will not be affected."

Ma Wentao was moved and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

That's what he said, but Ma Wentao felt bitter in his heart. Given that the relationship between him and Hu Sanguang was already a life-and-death enemy, and with Hu Sanguang's personality, Wang Boju fell into the hands of the Ministry of Security. Even if there was no problem, he would definitely Find out the problem, and with the means of the Ministry of Security, there must be conclusive evidence of the crime. It is not impossible that Wang Boju himself will plead guilty.But these words, he absolutely can't tell Ye Chen. After all, although he has a higher official position than Hu Sanguang, and even has a higher title now, but Hu Sanguang is the old man who followed Ye Chen to fight the world first, no matter how Ye Chen is. Angrily scolding Hu Sanguang, the degree of intimacy of the latter in Ye Chen's heart is still not comparable to him in a short period of time.

While thinking about how to keep Wang Boju, Ma Wentao was about to bid farewell to Ye Chen when a soldier ran in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Xingwu, the Director of the Intelligence Analysis Department of the Ministry of Security, came suddenly from Xiajing , See Your Majesty."

Ye Chen was surprised when he heard the words. He glanced at Ma Wentao and said, "Ma Aiqing, why is your son-in-law Tang Xingwu suddenly here?"

Ma Wentao's heart was shocked, Ye Chen's words were obviously dissatisfied with him secretly forming a party for personal gain.

"Let Tang Xingwu come in!" After Ye Chen finished speaking casually, he said again.

Tang Xingwu was quickly brought in, but when Ye Chen saw Tang Xingwu's expression, his heart sank.

Although Tang Xingwu was young, in Ye Chen's impression he was an extremely stable person, and the city was not shallow, and he had the courage to support the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his face, but his face was extremely heavy at this time.

Tang Xingwu saluted Ye Chen and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Hu was assassinated on his way to Huayang County and died. Zheng Bao, the envoy accompanying him, was also killed."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, with a ferocious expression and murderous intent in his eyes.Just as Ma Wentao, Han Xizai and others thought, Hu Sanguang was the first old man who followed Ye Chen to conquer the world, but now he was assassinated, how could this not make Ye Chen furious.

On April 27th, Hu Sanguang, Minister of Security of Xiangfu Kingdom, and Zheng Bao, Minister of Operations, were assassinated in Sanyang Lake, Longzhou. Emperor Ye Chen of Xiangfu Kingdom was furious and ordered Shangguan Bingyun to take over as Minister of Security. Tang Xingwu took over as the envoy of the Action Department to thoroughly investigate the assassination case of Hu Sanguang.Because the assassins used steel-string bows, giant guns, crossbows, and hundred-shot crossbows, they were implicated in the military. Luo Yaoshun, who had just been appointed by Ye Chen as the deputy chief of staff of the military department, was in charge of coordinating with Shangguan Bingyun. Investigate this matter thoroughly.However, Ye Chen and his party did not change the plan of touring the states, and continued to patrol the Quartet.

……

The South China Sea, Jinyuan Island, or Jinyuan State where Xiangfu Kingdom is far overseas.

More than half a year ago, Kou Zhun led a group of carefully selected talents from all walks of life to the South China Sea, and took over the administrative affairs of Liu Jinyuan's land in the South China Sea.

Half a year ago, after full preparations, Liu Jinyuan led his navy and suddenly rushed out from Catba Island, destroying Luzon, the most powerful of the many island countries in the South China Sea, and forcibly occupying Luzon and changing it to Jinyuan Island.

Now that half a year has passed, Jinyuan Island has undergone earth-shaking changes.Shipyards, ports, barracks, fortresses, docks, weapons and equipment production workshops, and all government offices of Xiangfu Kingdom on Jinyuan Island, as well as towns, residents, temples, Goulan, etc., are all in accordance with Xiangfu Kingdom's Lushang Prefecture Built by government regulations.

During this period, the land was reformed, the population registration was completed, the administrative office and the judicial office were formalized, and the operation of Jinyuan Island began to operate according to the governance model of Xiangfu Guozhou and County.
