Outside Qinghe Palace.
Qin Xiao looked at Sang Tianliang leaving, with a cold light in his eyes. He looked at Zuozhenfu Liu Yuming who was kneeling on the ground, and Rightzhenfu Chu Jingzhong said coldly, "How did King Qi die?"
Hearing this, Liu Yuming hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Prince of Qi has had a smooth journey since leaving Beijing. He has arrived in Wuzhou for the first time!"
"According to the news from Wuzhou Black Ice Guard, His Highness King Qi was assassinated by men in black. Huo Lieyang fought against thirty men in black alone. Just as he was capturing the leader, two assassins flew out of the dense forest. Assassinated His Highness."
"Those two men were very skilled in martial arts. Before the soldiers could react, they assassinated His Highness King Qi and then fled into the dense forest."
"Huo Lieyang is searching with the soldiers, but the murderer has not been found yet."
Qin Xiao calmed down and asked, "Where is the man in black?"
"In Wuzhou prison!"
He asked calmly, "What do you think?"
The two looked at each other after hearing this, "Your Majesty, those people are all from the Jianghu. They dared to assassinate His Highness King Qi. They must have been ordered by others. The people behind the scenes are the most important!"
"Nonsense, don't I know?"
Qin Xiao looked at Liu Yuming and said coldly, "Check, find the person who ordered me!"
"Yes, I obey your order!"
When Liu Yuming saw that Chu Jingzhong did not accept the order, he couldn't help but wink at him.
Qin Xiao looked at Chu Jingzhong and asked with some surprise, "Chu Jingzhong, do you have something to say?"
Chu Jingzhong took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty wants me to investigate the cause of death of His Royal Highness King Qi, and I want to ask your Majesty for something!"
Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed, "What do you want?"
"The privilege of the emperor's order, from the princes and nobles to the officials, all ministers have the right to interrogate and deal with it!"
Qin Xiao looked at Chu Jingzhong with some surprise and asked, "You are the one in charge of Jianghu among the Black Ice Guards. What do you see?"
"According to Wuzhou Black Ice Guard's report, those assassins all came from Yan Mansion, a killer organization in Wuzhou, and the leader of Yan Mansion was established by an elder from Fengyu Tower, the largest force in Wuzhou. Fengyu Tower is inseparable from this matter!"
"Three years ago, the prince sent someone to Wuzhou Fengyu Tower..."
"shut up!"
Before Chu Jingzhong finished speaking, Qin Xiao interrupted him first and looked at him with murderous intent, "Are you doubting the prince?"
Liu Yuming's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently, "Your Majesty, calm down, he is talking nonsense!"
What is Chu Jingzhong doing? He can say this. If you want to die, don't hold me back. Can't you wait until I leave to say no?
If His Majesty is angry, both of us will die.
He looked at Chu Jingzhong angrily, with fear rising in his heart.
Chu Jingzhong ignored Liu Yuming, but clasped his fists and said, "If your Majesty thoroughly investigates the cause of King Qi's death, as long as there is suspicion, I will be suspicious, including the prince!"
Qin Xiao looked at Chu Jingzhong with cold eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you say that?"
"Your Majesty is a wise king and will not use words to accuse you. If your Majesty issues an order, I can only obey it. If your Majesty wants to know, I must try my best to find out, otherwise I will deceive you!"
Qin Xiao chuckled when he heard this, "So you are a loyal minister?"
"I dare not be a loyal minister, but I am only loyal to your Majesty! If your Majesty asks me to investigate, I will investigate."
Qin Xiao snorted coldly when he heard this, "Block the news. If there is another accident, I want your heads, get out!"
"I resign!"
Qin Xiao looked at Hong Shou and said, "Show me at Shulan Palace!"
"Yes, let's drive!"
When Zuo Zhenfu Liu Yuming saw Qin Xiao leaving, he felt relieved. He looked at Chu Jingzhong and said angrily, "Don't hold me back if you want to die. I was almost killed by you today!"
"If Your Majesty unleashes the wrath of thunder, our heads will be moved!"
Chu Jingzhong took a look and said calmly, "I saved your life today, you should thank me!"
"Thank you grandma for the leg!"
Liu Yuming pointed at Chu Jingzhong, panting heavily and said, "Thank you, I want to strangle you to death!"
"Old Liu, there is no such big hatred between us. I don't remember the faults of others, and I won't argue with you!"
Liu Yuming took a deep breath, looked at Chu Jingzhong and asked, "What you said about the prince just now, did you say that on purpose?"
Chu Jingzhong nodded and said calmly, "That's right!"
"His Royal Highness King Qi's matter is not that simple. The prince is suspected, and so is King Yong, who is returning to Beijing. How many heads do you have who dare to interfere in this matter?"
"If it is found out that the incident involving King Qi is related to Prince Yong, do you still want to report it to His Majesty?"
Liu Yuming frowned when he heard this, with a look of fear on his face. Qin Xiao was so angry just now that he was so frightened that he lost his sense of control. Now thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
If he really found out about King Qi, I'm afraid he would be finished. He would get involved in the internal fighting between the prince and King Yong and the royal family, and he would die without knowing how.
He looked at Chu Jingzhong with some gratitude and said, "Old Chu, I was a little impatient just now. Your Majesty doesn't want us to investigate, right?"
"No, as I said just now, this matter involves the Crown Prince, and His Majesty will not let us get involved. We must either find a scapegoat or get to the bottom of this matter. Your Majesty is afraid that the Shadow Guards will take over!"
Liu Yuming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good... That's good... I don't want to lose my head just after becoming the governor!"
"Lao Chu, the commander has gone to Wuzhou, what should we do next?"
Chu Jingzhong looked at Liu Yuming and said, "Didn't His Majesty just say that? Send someone to protect His Highness King Yong and enter Beijing safely!"
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he patted his forehead and said, "My mind is a little lost. I will personally lead people to protect His Highness King Yong!"
Chu Jingzhong chuckled, "Go home and eat some pearl powder to calm down the shock, Black Ice Guard can't live without you!"
"No more, I'm leaving now! I'll come and thank you another day!"
Chu Jingzhong looked at Liu Yuming who was leading the people away and smiled slightly. Qianhu Zuogang next to him looked at Liu Yuming who was leaving and asked, "Sir, you shouldn't have saved him just now, just let him investigate!" "
Chu Jingzhong looked at Zuo Gang and asked softly, "How long have you been with me?"
Zuo Gang thought for a moment and said, "I have been following you since you became a white householder. It has been fifteen years!"
"You've been with me for fifteen years, don't you know that the first shot is the first to catch the first bird?"
"The official position of Zuo Zhenfu is higher than that of Right Zhenfu. Whenever something goes wrong in the capital, apart from the commander, he will be the first one to look for. If he dies, I will be in the spotlight. Do you understand?"
Zuo Gang showed a look of surprise when he heard this, "So that's it, sir, you are wise!"
"Sir, what are we going to do next?"
Chu Jingzhong looked in the direction of the East Palace with a thoughtful look on his face, and then said, "Send a good team to keep an eye on the East Palace. If there is any news, report it immediately!"
Hearing this, Zuo Gang clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will go and watch it myself. Sir, do we want to go back to the house?"
Chu Jingzhong shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If you can't sleep, go to Youlan Garden!"
