Competing

Chapter 77 Assassin Identity
When he entered the door, Yin Xu's face was pale, his whole body was bandaged in white cloth, and there were little blood stains oozing out!Xiang Liang and the others really jumped, and hurriedly asked, "Dong Lai, are you okay?"

Just as Yin Xu was about to move, Xiang Yu stopped him: "Lie down quickly, don't move!"

Yin Xu said: "Marshal of Labor is here, it doesn't matter, it's just a few flesh wounds, bleeding too much!" Although Xiang Liang is no longer the commander of the military, the title of marshal is not very suitable, but everyone is used to it, and they still call it that in private .

He smiled at Xiang Yu, Ying Bu, Chen Ping and Long again, which was regarded as a courtesy.Long Qie had always been hostile to Yin Xu, but Yin Xu's performance made him recognize a lot, and with the persuasion of Xiang Yu and others, everything has changed.It's just that I can't save face, and I happened to be following Xiang Liang today, and when I heard that Yin Xu was injured, I stopped by to visit.

"Take care of yourself for a few days, make up your body, and recover as soon as possible." Nephew Xiang Liang was relieved to hear him say that.

Ying Bo smiled and said, "You can keep it. A few days ago, my father-in-law sent someone to deliver some velvet supplements, and they will be delivered to you tomorrow."

"Do you really treat me like a sick person? You can keep those things for you and your wife to use, and raise a white and fat little nephew." Yin Xu's joke made everyone laugh.Yingbu couldn't help but blush, his wife Wu Mei was already pregnant, and the joy of becoming a father for the first time was beyond words.

Xiang Yu scolded with a smile: "Chen Ping, seeing your alarmist talk, I really thought that Dong Lai was seriously injured and frightened people a lot."

Chen Ping smiled awkwardly: "Didn't that be for Song Yi and Qu Ming? That guy had to make use of the topic and let him know that General Yin was 'seriously injured', so he could temporarily shut his mouth."

"By the way, Donglai, how did you get hurt? Who did it?" Tonight, Xiang Liang had many questions.

Yin Xu pondered for a moment, then said: "The killer is from Qin, Zhao Gao's subordinate!"

Everyone's hearts were shocked. The Qin people had thought about it before they made troubles. After all, it is impossible for the Qin people to not respond to such a big movement from the people of Chu.It's just that Zhang Han who was nearby didn't respond, but Zhao Gao who was far away in Xianyang intervened, which is really strange.

Furthermore, they were preconceived at the beginning, thinking that there was a high possibility of internal struggles. For example, Song Yi suspected Xiang Liang, and Xiang Liang speculated whether this was self-directed and self-acted, and took the opportunity to deal with himself and Yin Xu.Of course, Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, was also suspected. Knowing this, Yin Xu's words gave a clear answer.

Xiang Yu asked suspiciously, "Zhao Gao's men?"

"Are you sure?" Ying Bu also had the same doubts.

Yin Xu nodded, pointed at the broken water on the table and said: "Sure, it has something to do with this sword. I was still a bandit in Peng Lize that day, and one day I met a fleeing family who was hunted down, so I rescued it." They. That family is a noble from Xianyang, offended Zhao Gao and wanted to escape to Baiyue, this sword is a gift from his family, and I did find the token of the CRRC mansion from the chasing soldiers.” He has never heard of it. Knowing about Fan Yilan's mysterious family background, she has always been reluctant to speak out in front of others.

"Later, An Tong's [-] troops surrounded and suppressed me, and that was probably why. Last night, I tore through the black veil of one of them. I always thought his face was familiar. Only later did I realize that it was Zhao who was beaten away by me that day. Under the master."

Everyone had heard that Yin Xu was besieged in Peng Lize before, but few people knew about the inside story, and now everyone suddenly realized.

Xiang Liang pondered: "Is that so? What evidence is there? According to the family, Song Yi may..."

Yin Xu shook his head and said, "Marshal, don't worry about Song Yi making excuses. A killer was captured alive by Pu Jun and me."

Long Qixi said: "Really? That's easy to say."

Yin Xu shook his head again and said: "Brother Long, it's really hard to say. Think about why Zhao Gao sent assassins into Xuyi City? He killed me because of the old enmity, and Song Yi? I think the assassins of the Qin State planned to kill The purpose of killing Song Yi is to stir things up and make us suspicious and angry. Song Yi is narrow-minded, so he may not think so."

"These killers are dead men, and their goals are very clear. If there is a public trial or questioning of Song Yi, what if the killer bites people randomly? Song Yi will definitely catch them and make a big fuss, so this killer is a scourge. But you can't kill, otherwise And he has to be charged with murdering a witness, trying to cover it up. It’s really a hot potato, and it’s a dilemma.”

Long Ji was a little embarrassed, but he also deeply realized that he was on par with Yin Xu in military affairs.But politics is far from it. Stand aside at the moment and keep silent.

Xiang Yu said: "Dong Lai, what do you think?"

Yin Xu pondered and said: "I intend to write down the reason clearly. In the last memorial, I sent people to the palace. I think the king will definitely accept it. I have already asked Gao Yi to prepare. What do you think of Marshal Xiang? What do you guys think?" Opinion? You don’t blame me for making my own decisions, do you?”

Everyone here is a fine person, with extremely sharp political thinking, and they already understand Yin Xu's purpose.King Huai of Chu absolutely did not want the two ministers of the Zhu Kingdom to fight each other, not to mention that the matter was originally provoked by the people of Qin, so it should be the same as the enemy.

Xiang Liang laughed and said, "You are right, there will be a result in court tomorrow. You should take a good rest and we will leave first."

Yingbo returned to the mansion to accompany his lovely wife, while Chen Ping and his retainers stayed temporarily in Wu Xinjun's mansion, and followed Xiang Liang back to the mansion.

As soon as Xiang Liang and others left, Liu Bang came back.

Speaking of it, Liu Peigong is also called helpless, because he was rewarded by King Huai of Chu, and Liu Bang gradually emerged and became famous.Of course, he also knows that the establishment of Xuyi is not peaceful now. As the old saying goes, the rafters in the early years are rotten first, so it is still necessary to keep a low profile.

He refused to go to Song Yi's dinner tonight, because his relationship with Song Yi was too close, a situation neither King Huai of Chu nor Xiang Liang wanted to see.From the very beginning, Liu Peigong had his own wishful thinking, so naturally he had to be more careful.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened. First, Song Yi's Lingyin's mansion caught fire, and then Shaoxing Hou Yinxu was assassinated.One is Song Yi himself, and the other is Ai Jiang Xiang Liang, who would do this?After discussing with Zhang Liang, Liu Bang felt deeply uneasy that someone might plant the blame on him.

Wait and see?No, it happened and it was hard to stay out of it.Although you are not afraid of slanting shadows when you are upright, many things are hard to say in the new year, so you still have to take precautions before they happen.After some discussion, Liu Bang first went to Song Yi to express his condolences. Of course, he had to pretend to be sick, and then he came to visit Yin Xu non-stop.

From what Song Yi said, he was mainly suspicious of Xiang Liang, but Yin Xu's assassination made things more confusing.Now let's check Yin Xu's tone and see how the situation is going?Discuss countermeasures again.

"Brother Yin, how is your injury? It doesn't matter, right?" Liu Bang looked very affectionate as soon as he entered the door.

This is the demeanor of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Yin Xu knew that he was hypocritical and had to pretend to be a snake, so he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Liu, I will trouble you to make a trip at such a late hour."

"Hey, what did Brother Yin say? We are all friends and brothers who fought side by side. I heard that you were injured, so the older brother should come over to see you." Liu Bang smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Yin, who attacked you?" ? Have you checked for clues?"

Yin Xu smiled slightly, looked up at Zhang Liang who was accompanying him, and asked, "Mr. Zifang, who do you think attacked Yin?"

Zhang Liang didn't expect that he would ask himself, and there was a wave in his eyes.Smart people never beat around the bush when they speak. Mr. Zifang smiled and said, "A native of Qin!"

"Yes, it is from the Qin Kingdom!" Yin Xulang said: "I captured an assassin alive, because there was also a fire in Song Lingyin's mansion, and Yin did not dare to be careless. The assassin was already sent to the palace and handed over to the king. .” Don’t you want to talk about it?Then I will satisfy you!If I don't do your business, it won't make you suspicious, and everyone will be happy and quiet.

Liu Bang glanced at Zhang Liang and remained silent.

In the palace, Xiong Xin was also speechless. On the first night of his ascension to the throne, two important ministers were assassinated.Xuyi, the capital of the king, was in chaos, and he, the king, was disgraced.Not only that, but he was also worried that the ministers were suspicious of each other before, and if either side could not restrain themselves, it would be very bad if they fired their guns.At this time, Xiong Xin really doubted Song Yixuan's day, the bullshit auspicious day of the zodiac!
Although he, the king of Chu, was temporarily excluded, Xiong Xin was not depressed. The conflict between Xiang Liang and Song Yi gave him hope.Use it without hesitation, on the one hand, because you don't want to be completely reduced to a puppet, on the other hand, you want to seize opportunities and seize power.At least in front of it, things are going well.

Xiong Xin walked back and forth in the room, Xiong Kang couldn't help but said: "My lord, Qu Ming has already been there, Song Yi and Xiang Liang still have some restraint. Don't worry, it's late at night, don't burn yourself out."

"Father! You taught me so many things from the beginning, didn't you just wait for this day? But now?" Xiong Xin is only 15 years old. He is usually young and mature in front of people, but in front of the foster father who raised him since he was a child, he has always been indifferent. Just a kid.

He sighed in his chest: "The days are still long, take it step by step, you have done a good job. Also, don't call me that in the future, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers"

"Without a father-in-law, how could the child live to this day? Not to mention the throne. In the hearts of the widows, you will always be my father-in-law." Xiong Xin revealed his true feelings, "father and son" love, Xiong Kang couldn't help the eyes famous.

"Your Majesty, Shaoxing Marquis Yinxu sent someone to send me a memorial." Qu Ming reported outside the hall.

"Oh? Come in!" Xiong Xin "father and son" hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sat upright.

Qu Ming came in and handed a memorial to the throne, Xiong Xin looked at it with a hint of joy, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the person?"

"Just hold it outside the hall!"

Xiong Xin said: "Pull it down and execute it, it looks like suicide."

Qu Ming was startled, and hesitated, "Your Majesty, haven't you interrogated yet?"

"The widow has personally interrogated, and the assassin confessed!" The bear man threw the bamboo slips and said, "Write a copy on it and let him draw a pledge."

Qu Ming's heart was shocked by the determination and momentum shown by the young king, and he had already reacted in his heart.Quietly picked up the bamboo slips sent by Yin Xu, only to see that it reads: My minister Yin Xu reported to my king... The identity of the assassin has been found out, and he was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao... In the past, I had a grudge with Peng Lize... Today Using this trick to hide evil intentions... Please be aware of it, Your Majesty!
