The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 406: Xiao Feng's Insidious Scheme

Seeing Yang Youji being escorted in by five flowers, Xiao Rui's expression became more and more dignified. This is Xiao Feng's slander. He actually knew that Yang Youji was secretly protecting himself, and in order not to let Yang Youji be exposed, he took him After arriving at the hunting ground, he was asked to hide among the powerful disciples, and this act was just used by him to show that he had evil intentions.

only

Yang Youji came from Xiangzhou and was not familiar with the people in Kyoto, and not long after he came to Kyoto and met Xiao Rui, he was sent to Lanling to look for Xiao Qingqing. He is a descendant, has loyalty, and should not betray himself.

So Xiao Feng knew his identity so well? Could it be that there are spies around me? If he can bribe others, Xiao Feng can also win over the people around him!

But with Jia Xu and Guo Jia around, this problem shouldn't arise.

etc.

Xiao Qingqing!

Could it be that when Yang Youji went to Lanling to meet Xiao Qingqing, he revealed his identity and archery skills, so after the news was sent back to the capital, Xiao Feng knew that there was an expert archer by his side, so he came up with this plan?

But at this moment, Xiao Rui couldn't help thinking about it.

Emperor Xia glanced at Yang Youji coldly, and asked, "Who are you?"

After Yang Youji came back with Xiao Rui, he stayed in a corner and waited. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen soldiers of the Imperial Army quietly surrounded him, rushed at him, and then locked him with iron chains. He didn't know the situation, and he didn't want to use bows and arrows to kill and fight back, so he could only be captured in the end.

Just when the atmosphere was suppressed, Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Father, this man is named Yang Youji, and he is my minister's guard, and it was also my minister who brought him to the hunting ground. This man is skilled in archery, and he specializes in secretly protecting my son. , and guard around. Because he is not from the capital, he was mistaken for an assassin."

"Oh?" Emperor Xia's eyes shifted to Xiao Rui, looking at him.

At the same time, other people in the tent also looked at Xiao Rui, their expressions full of distrust.

After all, just now Xiao Jing's guards said that King Jing was suspected of being shot by King Xian's subordinates, and that he had stayed with King Chu, but now that he is back, King Chu is dead. There is still such a master archer hiding in the dark, all the signs, can't explain anything?

Xiao Rui also knows Xiao Feng's insidiousness, look at Xiao Feng at this time, he has a simple and honest face, but his city is frightening.

For now, the only way is to find a way to wash away the suspicion. So Xiao Rui looked at Emperor Xia calmly, and said: "Father, the second elder brother was killed, and my son is deeply saddened, but if Yang Youji did it, why bother to come to the platform and escape on horseback? Isn't that Throw yourself into a trap? Secondly, Yang Youji is the bodyguard of my son, and my son is willing to pledge his life. He is definitely not a villain, and he will not do the assassination of the king of Chu. Moreover, if he is really the real murderer, the minister will not I can't escape the relationship, not to mention, shooting the king of Chu is really a stupid way! Finally, there are many people with excellent archery skills in this winter hunting, so why only suspect Yang Youji? Because of people who know him not much?"

Emperor Xia nodded, and then said to Zhuge Yuanba, "Temporarily block the news and block the scene of the crime, and don't mention this to the ministers outside. Detain this person first."

"Yes!" Zhuge Yuanba immediately took the order and asked Yang Youji to be taken away.

At this time, only Xiao Lie, Xiao Ze, Xiao Feng, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Rui were left in the army tent. Emperor Xia sat heavily on the chair, with sadness on his face and a sad look on his face.

The loss of a child in middle age is one of the tragic events, and Emperor Xia is also one of the most important things, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time.

Several princes are also mourning and examining their concubines, but they don't know their hearts, their hearts, and their emotions.

Xiao Rui knew that his own explanation could not wash away his suspicions, moreover, did Xiao Feng really have this method? I really underestimated him.

At this time, Xiao Feng also frowned and worried, just like an ordinary honest person, he couldn't see the viciousness in his heart at all.

In Prince Xian's Mansion, although the assassin was stopped by the guards of the forbidden army, his attack speed was not slow at all. The living room of Jia Xu and Guo Jiadai was only separated by the courtyard, and he was about to kill him.

Fortunately, members of the Yang organization had been waiting in the mansion for a long time. At this time, following Jia Xu's order, the hidden masters of the Yang organization immediately appeared and began to fight back.

The assassins were suddenly attacked by the masters of the Yang organization, and they immediately fell into a disadvantage. However, these assassins were not afraid of death, and desperately rushed into the living room to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia. But unfortunately, Yang's people didn't give them a chance.

When more than forty people were besieged and killed, the remaining assassins knew they had lost power and had no possibility of escaping. He was a dead soldier, so he wiped his neck and killed himself. He didn't even have a chance to capture them alive!

Jia Xu also expected this, so he quickly sent someone to check the corpse. The inspection was not a big deal, but he found that the weapons of this group of people were all the standard weapons of the Qi State, and two of them were familiar with each other, and they were members of the Qi State Mission. !

Could it be that Qi State pretended to make an alliance with Xia State to make Xia State take it lightly, and then sent someone to assassinate King Xian?

Of course not.

This is also the plot of Duan Wang Xiao Feng.

"Feng Xiao, we have not only underestimated this King Duan, we have simply underestimated him. His hands and feet can reach into the envoys of Qi State. It seems that his power is extremely amazing!" Jia Xu said.

Guo Jia nodded. At this time, he was more worried about Xiao Rui, and said, "I don't know what's going on with Your Highness! It must be more difficult than we imagined!"

Jia Xu sighed: "Now the water in the distance can't quench the thirst, so we can only wait for the news. With the protection of Dian Wei and Yang Youji, plus His Highness's intelligence, he will not run too far, so there will be no danger. As long as His Highness does not Life is in danger, and other troubles are difficult, and there is no solution for the time being."

At this time, Li Yuanfang also retreated.

He met a master outside the mansion, the two fought for a long time, the opponent turned out to be a sixth-rank master, Li Yuanfang lost, so he had to retreat! After returning, he was relieved to see that the fighting in the mansion had ended and all the assassins had been killed.

"Sir, the Assassin has been executed, do I still need to go to the North City Gate to wait for His Highness to return?" Li Yuanfang asked.

Jia Xu said: "No need, I guess the problem His Highness encountered is even more difficult, and he will not return to the city for the time being. Moreover, the Marquis of Zhongyong will arrive soon, and these assassins are disguised as Qi people, so there is no way to hide it."

Guo Jia also sighed, Jia Xu's words were reasonable, the assassins came prepared to pretend to be Qi people, and now there is no time to deal with these corpses, and they can't.

On the other hand, Guo Jia also felt a sense of frustration. He and Jia Xu hunted geese all year round, but now they were pecked by geese, and they knew that the other party had a conspiracy, but they didn't avoid it. Instead, they waited and waited.

"I don't know what's going on with Your Highness!" Guo Jia said.

After the words fell, the patrol battalion arrived late, but they came too late, and the assassins had already been killed. Not long after, Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu and Jin Yiwei's deputy commander Mu Chen arrived.

Hearing that the assassin had been wiped out, the two of them were not surprised. After all, King Xian is now powerful, so there must be some masters in the palace. But what happened next was just what Jia Xu and Guo Jia were worried about. They investigated the corpses and found that their identities were from Qi!

...

In the military tent, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Although sad, he is the emperor after all, so he controlled his emotions. Not long after Zhuge Yuanba sealed off the scene of the crime, the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Camp patrolling the periphery of the hunting ground found a guard who had escaped from the hunting ground on horseback. Control it and hand it over to Huo Xingye.

Huo Xingye immediately entered the account and reported: "Your Majesty, the soldiers patrolling outside the hunting ground caught a fleeing guard. This person is one of the guards beside His Royal Highness King Chu!"

"Bring it in!" Emperor Xia shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes!" After hearing the order, Huo Xingye immediately sent someone to bring the guards in.

When Xiao Rui saw the person coming, his thoughts sank. This person was the guard who was proficient in archery beside the King of Chu, and it was Xiao Jing who he shot!

It seems that all of this was calculated by Xiao Feng. This person was bought by Xiao Feng long ago. After shooting Xiao Jing, after Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Rui separated, he took the opportunity to shoot Xiao Yiheng and the three guards, then he escaped and was captured. Coming is also a trick!

Xia Huang looked at the guards and asked, "Who killed the King of Chu? You are the guard of the King of Chu, why do you want to escape? You recruited the truth, otherwise don't blame me for punishing your nine clans!"

The guard knelt there and did not speak.

"Are you stubborn? Pull him down and send him to Dongchang, and pry his mouth open!" The anger in Emperor Xia's heart was burning.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Huo Xingye immediately took him out and escorted him to Dongchang.

Xiao Rui stood aside, it really was a trick!

Then the next plot should be that after being served by Dongchang, the guard admitted that he was ordered by Xiao Rui to assassinate the King of Chu!

Coupled with the recent gap between the king of Chu and Xiao Rui, there are sufficient reasons for killing people!

This accusation of instigating murder is too low-level, but is it important? Emperor Xia may not believe it, but as long as Xiao Rui can't prove his innocence, he will be suspected of killing his brother. Then there will be rumors, such as Xiao Rui and Princess Li Xiu'er having an adulterous affair, etc. Once the rumors are exaggerated, there will be a great uproar Well, even if Emperor Xia didn't believe it, these rumors were like a cold knife, stabbing fiercely into Xiao Rui's body.

Xiao Feng planned to kill Jia Xu and Guo Jia, abolish Xiao Jing, kill Xiao Yiheng, and wrong Xiao Rui after all this plan!

Of course, there is also the Qi State mission that Xiao Rui doesn't know about yet!

The rings are interlocking, full of swords and blood.

Now that he knew Xiao Feng's trick, he should find a way to dismantle it.

Next, the winter hunting was canceled, and His Majesty returned to the palace, and ordered Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to thoroughly investigate the murder of King Chu. Although His Majesty ordered to block the news of King Chu's murder, how could Xiao Feng not take advantage of public opinion? They had sent people to spread the news secretly, and after everyone returned to the city, the news that King Chu was killed spread like wildfire, and the spearhead was directed at King Xian!

Xiao Rui returned to the palace and was relieved to see that Jia Xu and Guo Jia were safe and sound.

Although he asked Wu Yazi to lead the masters of Yang's organization to prepare in advance, he was still worried that there would be many assassins, and if he hurt the two gentlemen, wouldn't it be regrettable?

And when Jia Xu and Guo Jia heard that Xiao Jing was injured and King Chu was killed, their expressions changed drastically.

"Prince Duan must have a master! Your Highness, Feng Xiao and I made a mistake this time." Jia Xu apologized.

Guo Jia also nodded.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "We guessed that King Duan would have a conspiracy, but we also knew what he would do. It was a mistake but inevitable to fall into his trap this time. I didn't fall into the trap this time, and he would secretly set up other traps. Conspiracy, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. This time I saw his tricks, and then I will have fun with him from now on."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia nodded and smiled.

Then, next, according to Xiao Feng's conspiracy, they have to come and see the tricks.

First of all, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are safe and sound, and the next step is how to clear up their suspicions as soon as possible.

Fortunately in the misfortune, the guard who killed the king of Chu acted as a portrait for the sake of acting. When faced with His Majesty's questioning, he did not directly say that it was Xiao Rui's instigation. It was precisely because of this that His Majesty was so angry that he directly asked Dongchang for interrogation.

Dongchang is directly responsible to His Majesty, no one dares to intervene, so it must be the most appropriate for him to interrogate.

Fortunately, Xiao Rui has a relationship with Wei Zhongxian. This time, Wei Zhongxian had to protect Xiao Rui with all his strength, because Xiao Rui had an accident, and Wei Zhongxian was no better!

At the same time, because the assassin pretended to be a member of the Qi State Mission, after the Emperor Xia returned to the palace and heard about the incident, he immediately ordered people to block the Honglu Courtyard and imprison the Qi State Mission.

This naturally aroused strong protests from the Qi State Mission. Fortunately, Ye Wendao was present, and did not cause any major friction between the two parties.

At this time, in the interrogation room of Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian, who had just taken the position in charge, personally interrogated the guard.

Sure enough, following Dongchang's tricks, the guard finally couldn't hold on, and admitted that he was ordered by King Xian to shoot and kill King Chu secretly!

The guard is a dead man, this time he doesn't want to live, he just wants to complete the task, he thought that if he said it, Wei Zhongxian would tell His Majesty like this, but unfortunately he made a wrong calculation.

Not only him, but even Xiao Feng made a wrong calculation.

Wei Zhongxian showed a cold smile, and said: "You dare to wrong His Highness King Xian, it seems that you are still stubborn, Tian Ergeng, serve him well! Don't kill him, our family has to enter the palace first!"

"Yes!" Tian Ergeng is Xiao Rui's man, and when he heard that this man wronged King Xian, his hands were itchy, and he was ready to use his housekeeping skills to let this man speak the truth.

Wei Zhongxian hurried into the palace and begged to see Hai Dafu.

When Hai Dafu heard Wei Zhongxian's request to see him, he guessed that it was the murder of the King of Chu, so he quickly reported to His Majesty.

Emperor Xia personally summoned Wei Zhongxian, waited for him to enter the palace, and asked, "What's the result of the interrogation?"

Wei Zhongxian knelt respectfully and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the interrogation has some results, but..."

"Speak directly!" Emperor Xia said.

Only then did Wei Zhongxian speak: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the guard admitted that he killed His Highness the King of Chu, but when he was asked who ordered him, he said at first that it was His Highness Duan, and then that it was His Highness King Jing. The torture came again, and this person said that His Highness Xian Wang ordered him, and now he insists that it was His Highness Xian Wang who ordered him... I dare not hide anything, everything is true..."

The smart Wei Zhongxian knew that if he didn't say anything, His Majesty would not believe it, so he dragged everyone into the water! If everyone has a problem, then there is no problem.

Emperor Xia's face darkened, he slapped his palm on the table angrily, and said angrily: "This is unreasonable! Is this playing tricks on me? Besides, have you found out the origin of this person?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, although this person is His Royal Highness Chu's guard, he has only been with His Highness Chu for a few days, so the people in the Chu Palace don't know him. They only know that His Royal Highness brought him back personally, because of his excellent archery skills. , I trust him quite a bit. The servant conjectures that since the King of Chu can bring him back in person and trusts him, the person behind the scenes must be familiar with His Highness the King of Chu... So the servant is conducting an in-depth investigation, but it is a pity that the guard has not been found yet history."

Emperor Xia nodded.

The conflict between Xiao Rui and the king of Chu intensified. How dare the king of Chu trust the guard introduced by Xiao Rui, so it must be introduced by someone familiar with the king of Chu, so the king of Chu kept the guard by his side. This also reflects from the side that Xiao Rui was wronged.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Xia Huang said.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, before the villain entered the palace, I heard that the murder of the King of Chu had been leaked... and the spearhead was directed at His Highness King Xian. I am afraid that if the slaves do not explain it, the discussion will become a turmoil and become uncontrollable. !"

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes. Not many people knew about King Chu's assassination, and he was ordered to keep his mouth shut to prevent it from being leaked, but now it was leaked out, and the target was directed at King Xian. It seems that someone used this incident to deal with King Xian. ah!
