The Golden Age Chapter 810: True culprit
At dusk, in the Guanhu Hall of Changming Garden, several important officials, led by Governor Fan Yang, were waiting.
Guanhutang is the largest living room in Changmingyuan. When Emperor Xiandi stayed in Changmingyuan, he summoned officials in Guanhutang. As the name suggests, there is a man-made lake in front of the hall. Now it’s a hot summer day. The sky is full of green leaves, and the lotus in the pond is full of pleasant scenery.
Besides Fan Yang, don't drive Zhao Qing and Chang Shi Sha Deyu to come to see you, and the grandson Yuanxin is also among them.
These are local officials in Hangzhou. Other officials are not qualified enough to be summoned.
On Qin Xiao's side, in addition to Qin Xiao and Fei Xin, Yuwen Chengchao was also ordered to come and see him together.
Fan Yang and others' faces are like the weather outside, very relaxed.
Chen Xi was sent to the governor's house to make proper arrangements, and let several famous doctors in the city, including the doctor Hou, stay on the sidelines.
Previously, Chen Xi was dying, and these doctors were helpless, but the Taoist Aunt Luoyue rejuvenated and rescued Chen Xisheng. The current physical condition of the doctors was sufficient.
Fan Yang and the others already knew that the assassin who was assassinating in the night came from Jiangu. Not only was he shocked, but it was also a relief. As long as the assassin was not from a rebel in Hangzhou, then his own assassin’s responsibility is Greatly relieved. Once the prime minister knew the origin of the murderer, he would definitely turn his attention to Jiangu. The pressure on Hangzhou was much less.
"The princess is here!"
Everyone stood up immediately, and saw Princess Musk Moon’s graceful figure coming in from outside the door, they all knelt on the ground, shouting for Chisui, and when the princess was seated, they ordered everyone to get up and everyone stood up. rise.
"His Royal Highness came to Hangzhou, and the old officials failed to come out of the city to meet him. The crime deserves a million!" Fan Yang just got up, immediately pleaded guilty, and knelt down again.
The princess came to Hangzhou very suddenly. When Fan Yang reacted, the princess had already moved into Changming Garden. Fan Yang brought someone to see him the other day. The princess only summoned Qin Xiao alone. Only today can he enter the garden to see the princess. Sorry to the princess.
"Master Fan get up and talk." Sheyue raised her hand to signal Fan Yang to get up. The weather was hot, and there was only a thin layer of white gauze on her arms, and the jade arms that deceive Shuang Saixue were even more dazzling white.
After Fan Yang got up, the princess motioned everyone to sit down, and then asked: "Master Fan, I heard that you are coming together today to report something to you?"
"Exactly." Fan Yang got up again and said, "His Royal Highness, Chen Xi and Chen Shaojian woke up this morning, and the old minister and Qin adults have brought him back to the governor's mansion."
"Oh?" She Yue turned her beautiful eyes and glanced at Qin Xiao: "He is awake?"
Qin Xiao got up and said: "Report to the princess, Chen Shaojian's injury has not healed yet, but he can speak, and after recuperating for a while, he should be able to go to the ground."
"Does he provide clues to the assassin?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "Chen Shaojian is very sure that the assassin's kung fu to hurt him should be the inner sword. The inner sword is a technique for internal sword energy. According to Chen Shaojian's judgment, the assassin is likely to be Disciple of Sword Valley."
Sek Yuexiu's eyebrows tightened, and she was a little surprised: "Jiangu?"
"Exactly.
" Qin Xiao nodded slightly: "The assassin used the inner sword to give Chen Shaojian a heavy blow, but he turned the sword into his palm at the end, so checking the injuries would make people mistakenly think that Chen Shaojian was injured by the assassin's palm. . "
The Changsun Yuanxin said: "This is the assassin who wants to hide his origin."
"Not bad." Qin Xiao said: "If Chen Shaojian was killed on the spot, we would think that he was killed by the opponent's palm when we found the body. Fortunately, Chen Shaojian escaped, so we can know the real tricks of the assassin. Technique."
The two slender eyebrows that looked like willow leaves frowned, Musk murmured: "It turned out to be Jiangu." After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Yuwen Chengchao and said: "Yuwen Chengchao, you Growing in Xiling, have you heard of Jiangu?"
The eldest son arched his hands and said: "Return to your Highness, I have heard of it, and I know them quite well."
Fan Yang said ashamed: "The old man doesn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. I only heard that Jiangu seems to be a sect outside the Guan, not in our Datang area, Master Yuwen, can you elaborate on the situation of Jiangu? ?"
Yuwen Chengchao thought for a while, and then said: "You naturally know that I went west from the Tang Dynasty to Kunlun Pass. Outside Kunlun Pass is the territory of the Wutuo Khanate. After going out of Kunlun Pass, it takes three or four days to reach Kunlun Mountain. To the southwest of Kunlun Mountain, there is a mountain range, originally called Tumor Mountain. The scenery on the mountain is beautiful. Although it is not as famous as Kunlun Mountain, it can be regarded as a scenic resort outside the Guan. The so-called Sword Valley is located in Tumor Mountain. Just because the strange peaks in the mountain are steep and there is a bottomless canyon between the undulating mountains, and the school that occupies this mountain is mainly engaged in swordsmanship, it is called the Jiangu School."
Everyone looked at Yuwen Chengchao and listened carefully.
Yuwencheng Dynasty belonged to the Xiling family, and the Xiling family has been in business and trade with Wutuo Khan State, and exchanges are very frequent. In the eyes of everyone, among all the people present, the one who knows Jiangu best is naturally not the eldest son of the Yuwen family. Genus.
"Master Yuwen, when did the Sword Valley faction appear?" Sha Deyu couldn't help asking.
"It is impossible to know the exact time when it appeared." Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "In fact, the Jiangu faction is very strange. Their school actually has no name. The so-called Jiangu is just a place where outsiders treat them. The name of the place, Na Balmore Mountain was also changed to Jianshan. In the earliest days, outsiders just called them people in the valley. Later, they knew that they were all swordsmen there, so they called them Jiangu faction." Everyone looked at themselves, and they could only continue: "The ancestor who founded Jiangu has yet to know his name, but it is rumored that he has a swordsmanship, and he has surpassed the realm of the world, and has entered the world that ordinary people can't imagine. To the point, it is the great master."
Don’t drive Zhao Qing and couldn’t help saying: “There are so many people with false names in this world, Master Yuwen, you said that man’s swordsmanship has reached a level that ordinary people can’t imagine, is it an exaggeration?”
"Is there any exaggeration? I don't know, but they are all rumored like this." Yuwen Chengchao calmly said: "However, most swordsmen in the world regard Sword Valley as the sacred place. In their hearts, Sword Valley has the supreme status. , Being able to enter Sword Valley and become a disciple of Sword Valley is something that many swordsmen dream of."
"Master Yuwen, how many people are there in Jiangu?" Fan Yang asked, "Is that great master still on the mountain now?"
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said: "How many disciples there are in Jiangu, I am afraid there is only Jiangu
People can speak clearly, but outsiders don’t know. However, that great master has six personal disciples, who are called Jiangu Liujue. It is rumored that these six people are talented in kendo, and any one of them has the strength to establish a sect. "After a pause, he said: "As for the great master, it has been a long, long time since I heard from him. When I was in Xiling, I could occasionally hear rumors about the six major disciples, but the great master had no news. "
Fan Yang wondered: "Since the Valley of Sword is far outside Kunlun Pass, why did the disciples of Sword Valley travel all the way to Hangzhou, and even attack Anxinghou? Master Yuwen, that Valley of Sword serves the Wutuo Khanate. Is the assassin under the command of the Utuo people?"
"As far as I know, although the Sword Valley is within the territory of the Wutuo Khanate, it is not under the control of the Wutuo people." Yuwen Chengchao said: "There are even rumors that the Sword Valley is within a radius of dozens of miles, The people of Wutuo dare not approach."
Sha Deyu couldn't help smiling and said: "It turns out that Wutuo people also have times when they are timid."
"The Wutuo Khanate also produced a great master. The Wutuo people regarded him as the great fire god. This person is like a **** in the Wutuo people's heart." Yu Wencheng said: "This great fire **** has a superb sword technique. , Once challenged the Great Master of Sword Valley in Kunlun Mountain, but was defeated by the sword of the Great Master of Sword Valley. Therefore, the Wutuo people are also in awe of Sword Valley."
Musyue has not spoken, and finally she said: "The realm of the great master is already the pinnacle of martial arts in the world. Even if you enter and leave the palace, it will be easy. If the Wutuo annoys the sword valley, the great master will go directly to the king's court. , You can easily take off the head of King Utu Khan, how dare they provoke it?"
Fan Yang hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness is extremely true. Since the great master of martial arts is superb, the Wutuo people naturally don't dare to provoke them." He said this, but he and the two officials were suspicious of this, thinking about it. There really is such a powerful master in this world, who can enter the palace as if into the realm of no one, and can even take the head of King Utua Khan directly.
"Since Jiangu is not under the control of the Wutuo people, and naturally will not obey the orders of the Wutuo people, why did the disciples of Jiangu want to assassinate the Lord Hou?" Don't drive Zhao Qing, frowning and wondering: "There must be murder. Motivation, let alone an identity like An Xinghou, what is Jian Gu's motive?"
Qin Xiao glanced at the princess, thinking about the grievances between Jiangu and Xiahou's family. Others don't know. You, the Datang princess, should always know clearly.
When she saw Musk Moon, she didn't look at everyone, but she looked thoughtful. She didn't speak, and everyone present naturally didn't dare to speak again.
After a long while, Sheyue finally said: "If it is really the work of Jiangu, Hangzhou will not be able to control that far. We will have to wait for the court to handle the case. Fan Yang and Qin Xiao, after you go back, you will write a note, this The saint will tell the truth about what Chen Xi said." Raised his hand and said: "You should withdraw first."
Fan Yang and the others thought that the princess would continue to study the case with everyone, but they didn't want the princess to give such a simple order. They didn't dare to say anything. They all got up, bowed and quit.
"Qin Xiao, you stay." Qin Xiao followed Fan Yang. Before reaching the door, the princess stopped. Everyone was startled, but there was no delay. They all went out, Fan Yang and the others thought. I can’t help thinking, it seems that Her Royal Highness really attaches great importance to Qin Shaoqing. Last time she was summoned alone, but she stayed alone today. This Qin Shaoqing was respected by the saints in Kyoto, but now she is trusted by the princess, and received at a young age. Such kindness will surely be peaceful in the future.
