Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 191 Becoming a Killer Knife!

Thinking of the jade pendant incident investigated earlier, Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes. Is there really any connection between the owner of Panlong Villa and his fifth son?
"Announce him in."

Baili Jinze's face was pale, and he froze in place the first time he woke up from the bed. Originally, he was lying on the bed thinking about something, but fell asleep before he knew it, and it would be a day and a night when he woke up again. Moreover, within one day and one night, there was a incident of wolves besieging the camp. It is unreasonable to say that it is a coincidence.

He raised his eyes and swept across the tent, his eyes fell on Chu Junyi, and he gritted his teeth in his heart: He thought Shen Ninghua was already difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that Chu Junyi was not a good one. I still don't know how much trouble will be stirred up in the court!

I kept thinking aggrievedly in my heart, there was indeed no abnormality on my face, I walked quickly to the center of the camp, knelt down on the ground with a plop, bent down and kowtowed deeply, and said earnestly: "My son sees the emperor, see the father The emperor is safe, and my minister feels at ease."

Baili Qingcang looked at his son coldly: "You're awake, aren't you committing suicide?"

The surrounding courtiers suddenly lowered their heads, as if their ears were temporarily deaf.

On the other hand, Baili Jinze's heart trembled: Father, how could he not save face for him in front of civil and military officials!
"My son is terrified. Since I woke up and heard the guards say that I have taken an overdose of tranquilizing medicine, I am really puzzled. My son..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation, what's your business?" Baili Qingcang interrupted him impatiently.

Chu Junyi's eyebrows moved slightly. It seems that although the emperor did not fully believe that Baili Jinze was the owner of Panlong Villa, he had some doubts about him. Even now that these doubts are deepening, he should add Fire.

Baili Jinze's face turned pale and pale: "Father, my son is here to say hello to my father. Hearing that a pack of wolves had besieged the camp, my son hurried over to check on my father's safety."

Chu Junyi raised his head and frowned: "Your Highness Fifth Prince, how did you know that the wolves surrounded the camp?"

"Of course I heard what the guard said."

"Did you hear it from the guards guarding your tent?"

"That's right," Baili Jinze didn't understand why he would ask such an idiotic question, "Master Chu, is there any problem?"

Chu Junyi lowered his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "It's nothing, it's just a little strange to hear His Highness say that, after all, it's the imperial guards of the emperor's relatives, and the emperor personally ordered you not to move around outside the tent, you not only come out Yes, I also heard about the assassination of the emperor, so I asked one more question out of curiosity, please don't blame me, Your Highness."

Janissaries?The Janissaries guarding his tent?

Baili Jinze's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly raised his head to look at Baili Qingcang. Sure enough, seeing his gloomy and frightening expression, he quickly opened his mouth to explain: "Father!"

"Shut up!" Baili Qingcang's eyes were cold, "Fifth, you are really capable, and my guards are obeying you!"

"Father, my son was wronged, my son..." Baili Jinze felt that he couldn't explain it. He just admitted that he got the news from the imperial guards, and now it was too late to refute.

Baili Qingcang slapped the table violently, causing the paperweight on the table to jump suddenly: "Chu Junyi, go and imprison the imperial guards guarding the fifth prince's tent, and then help the Ministry of Criminal Interrogation. If you have any questions It doesn't matter if you shoot or kill, no one is allowed to have problems in the imperial guards under my personal jurisdiction!"

The commander of the imperial guards at the side knelt on the ground, his forehead was full of cold sweat. He helped the emperor in charge of the imperial guards. If something happened to the imperial guards, he was even more duty-bound. Losing his official position is a small thing, and he might lose his life. !
Chu Junyi cupped his hands, and flashes of light flashed in his eyes: "Yes, my minister leads the order."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment has an ugly face. Others don't know, but he knows it. On the surface, the commander of the imperial guards is under the jurisdiction of the emperor, but in reality, there are people everywhere in it. Yes, the third prince, the fourth prince... Each of the princes has manpower in order to control the emperor's whereabouts and actions, but he never expected that the emperor would suddenly order an investigation of the imperial guards!
When Shen Ninghua heard the news, a smile immediately appeared on her lips: "I originally thought that Chu Junyi would choose a gentler way, but I didn't expect him to reveal the matter of the imperial guards."

Qingque helped her apply the medicine: "Miss, is this matter of the imperial guards serious?"

"The imperial guards protect the safety of the emperor and guard the peace of the palace. It can be said that except for the palace of the harem and concubines, the imperial guards are everywhere in the palace. If something goes wrong with them, it can be said that the emperor's property and life There will be no guarantee. Although currently, the emperor is in good health and the princes have no other thoughts, but it is inevitable that it will not develop into a hidden danger in the future."

In the previous dynasty, there was a story where the prince forced the emperor to abdicate, and finally succeeded. If the imperial guards were controlled by the prince, it is really uncertain whether such a thing would happen.

Qingque nodded: "Miss, what should I do next?"

Shen Ninghua pulled the quilt, and lay down on the bed: "Chu Junyi told me to trust him, then I can concentrate on healing now."

Inside the tent, Baili Qingcang was holding the memorial in his hand, his fingers were trembling constantly, and he was almost speechless with anger: "This... unexpectedly... huh..."

Chu Junyi stood silently by the side, without any expression on his face, his handsome face and a flying waterfall screen on the side complemented each other, almost blending into the background, despite the flying flow, I would not stand still move.

The Xingbu Shangshu on the side didn't have his concentration anymore, his whole body was almost like being lifted out of the water, and cold sweat dripped down his body.

The veins in Baili Qingcang's fingers were exposed, and he pinched the memorial to deform it: "It's really my good son, really my good son! All of them only want to bury nails and put eyeliner beside me, good, really good!"

His voice was sad and angry, and the light in his eyes carried the pain of being betrayed. Although he was a king, he was also a father after all. How could he not feel heartbroken when his son plotted against him like this!
"Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty."

Baili Qingcang sat slumped on the chair, looking at the content of the memorial word by word, as if he wanted to print every word in his mind.After a while, he finally closed the memorial slowly, and looked at Chu Junyi and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice with deep eyes:
"Today's matter, no one is allowed to spread it outside, and every word is allowed, do you understand?"

"Yes, I obey the order." The two responded with hands clasped.

Baili Qingcang looked at Chu Junyi and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment carefully, and spoke again after a long time: "The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is stepping down, and Chu Junyi stays."

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly retreated.

Baili Qingcang got up: "Do you know why I let you stay?"

Chu Junyi raised his eyes: "I don't know, please make it clear to the emperor."

"You have a tough personality, you are also smart, and more importantly, you have wrists. Ninghua also likes you." Baili Qingcang paused slightly, "I need a knife, and you are willing to be a knife in my hand ?”

Chu Junyi raised his head: "Your Majesty, as your subject, I am willing to turn into loess all over the ground, not to mention a knife!"

"Okay!" Baili Qingcang took out a jade token from his sleeve, "I believe in Ninghua's vision, so I hand this jade token to you to mobilize the imperial guards. I will give you a month to send The Praetorian Guards clean up!"

Chu Junyi's eyes flickered coldly, and his voice carried a trace of indiscernible coldness: "Yes, I obey the order."

In the tent:
Shen Ninghua held the jade token bestowed by Baili Qingcang, her brows were slightly frowned: "Your Majesty, I have rewarded you with this jade token, what do you plan to do with it?"

Chu Junyi leaned on the soft couch, smelling the tea fragrance from the cup: "Of course, according to what the emperor said, it has become a knife."

"Knives can be divided into fast knives and slow knives. Which one do you plan to make?"

"The situation is chaotic, and only a sharp knife can cut through the chaos."

"The quick knife is hard, and it is very easy to break."

"If it is broken, it will become two knives. As long as there is a little steel blade left, it is enough to kill people. What's more, what I want to do is not an ordinary killing knife, but a magic weapon!"

There was a gleam in Chu Junyi's eyes, and his vision was a little blurred by the hot tea, but Shen Ninghua could clearly see the ambition and firmness in his eyes.

"Okay, let's start with the Imperial Guard for the first whetstone."

Chu Junyi smiled, got up and carefully embraced Shen Ninghua in his arms: "Ninghua, I will protect you, and I will become a sharp sword in your hand, where the sword points and where the heart goes."

Shen Ninghua's heart trembled, and only felt a sore and numb feeling drifting away, her eye sockets were slightly red, and there was a trace of water in the bottom of her eyes.

The imperial guards were investigated, but there was no movement until the emperor gave the order to open the camp and return to the palace.

Baili Jinze secretly sent someone to inquire about the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, but the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment seemed determined and refused to reveal anything.He could only return to the palace in fear.

The prince received the news, took the message in his hand and went to Ningkun Palace: "Mother, look, this is the news that came back."

Zhao Huiying looked at the densely packed content on the paper, frowned slightly, and sneered: "The emperor was assassinated, the second prince was injured and disfigured, the fifth prince was grounded, Shen Ninghua was injured... Heh, this hunting trip is really auspicious."

"Mother, what should we do?"

"Things are changing too fast, and our people haven't had time to report the news, so stay calm and wait for the news to gather before making a decision. The best policy is to stay still."

The prince nodded, and he had no better way in mind, so he could only do it first.

The queen burned the paper clean, raised her head and asked Baili Jinyi: "You help the emperor supervise the country, you must handle everything well, report what should be reported, what should be reported back, the emperor must be irritable now, don't hit the gun Mouth."

"Yes, mother."

The mother and son finished their discussion, but they didn't want to. The prince still couldn't escape in the end.

Baili Qingcang punished the prince by copying [-] scrolls for the reason that the prince was not good at handling affairs.
