Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2731 Make yourself smart
Changsun Wuji has always been thoughtful and thoughtful, and he has almost never missed anything in his plans for so many years. After his careful thinking, he has obtained the truth that he thinks may be the closest to the truth.

However, there is still a cloud of fog in front of him.

As the wheels rattled, Changsun Wuji stretched out his hand to raise the curtain and looked out of the car window. The cool air poured in, refreshing him. The fields on both sides of the road were desolate and boundless as far as the eye could see.

If my guess is not bad, then who is this person?
What is particularly worrying is that Gao Jifu, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, was assassinated and killed outside the Mingde gate. Apart from inevitably shaking the government and the public, it would also cause panic among the prince and Jinwang camps, lest they become opponents who would be reckless. dreaded target of attack.

And once the news reaches Jiangnan, Fang Jun will definitely strengthen his guard around him.

If Qiu Yingqi failed to act before Fang Jun received the news, the chance of succeeding would be much smaller when Fang Jun stepped up his guard.

Although I have set up a backhand, I don't expect Qiu Yingqi to succeed in the assassination at all, but if Qiu Yingqi is captured by Fang Jun and shakes himself out as the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be a big trouble .

First Gao Jifu was assassinated, and then Fang Jun was assassinated... One can imagine how furious His Majesty Li Er would be in the face of such a tragic court struggle.

But no matter how worried and worried, Qiu Yingqi and others had already arrived in Jiangnan at this moment, and he was beyond his reach, so he could only sit and wait for news from Jiangnan.

But presumably there is no need to wait too long, counting the time, it will only be two days before the news comes back...

*****
When the news of Gao Jifu's assassination outside Mingde's gate reached Qiu's mansion, Qiu Xinggong was having breakfast and sat drinking tea after washing up. Hearing this, he panicked and almost knocked over the teacup...

"What did you say? Gao Jifu was stabbed to death outside Mingde's gate?"

Qiu Xinggong's eyes widened, and he questioned the servant who reported the letter in disbelief.

The servant affirmed: "Reporting to the master, this matter is absolutely true. The Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Ministry have mobilized a large number of capable personnel to solve the case. Even Jing Zhao Yin Ma Zhou and the Minister of the Criminal Ministry Zhang Liang were present in person. The case has already been resolved." Shake Chang'an, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Qiu Xinggong was so worried that he almost pulled off his beard.

He naturally knew that there was no falsehood. Although Qiu Yingqi's nephew was a little slow-witted and acted a little recklessly, he actually inherited the Qiu family's tradition of being vigorous and fearless. The ability to assassinate Gao Jifu is absolutely impossible to fail.

But this bastard can't assassinate Gao Jifu there, he has to be outside Mingde's gate?
This is simply scratching His Majesty Li Er's face, blatantly provoking His Majesty Li Er's imperial majesty, since he was assassinated by mobs at the feet of his imperial capital from his subjects in broad daylight, which emperor can bear this? Got it?
There is no doubt that the death of Gao Jifu will shake the government and the public, and the whole world will also be watching this case.

Under such circumstances, how can I go to His Highness the Crown Prince and present this "Certificate of Voting"?
It's not that the weight of this "voting certificate" is not enough, on the contrary, it is precisely because the weight is too much, how can His Royal Highness dare to accept it?

If Gao Jifu was assassinated without anyone noticing, the effect that a mere servant of the Ministry of Officials can cause is really limited. Even if he can't cover it up, he can get a dead ghost to take the blame. No.

But now that there is such a big commotion, who would dare to neglect their duties?
Qiu Xinggong was worried about one head and two big ones. If Qiu Yingqi was in front of him at this moment, he might not be able to control himself and strangle this bastard to death!
Taking a deep breath, she put down her teacup and said, "Prepare the car, I'm going out of town."

"Here!"

The servant took the order and left, and after a while the carriage was harnessed. Qiu Xinggong put on a normal uniform, took a sword and put it on his waist, and went out, boarded the carriage and went straight out of the west gate of Chang'an.

The Qiu family has a manor on the north bank of Kunming Lake, which is reserved for summer summer. It is located in a valley by the lake, with river flowing through it, and the scenery is very beautiful.

It's just that it's already the beginning of winter at this moment, and the plants, trees, flowers and trees are all withered, and the eyes are full of withered yellow, which looks particularly bleak.

The carriage entered the manor and stopped in front of a small building. Qiu Xinggong lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. He told the soldiers on the left and right: "Keep a close watch on the surrounding situation. Once you find someone sneaking in, you will be shot!"

"Here!"

Only then did Qiu Xinggong stride into the small building.

The building was dimly lit, when Qiu Xinggong entered, he saw a figure lying on the floor, snoring like thunder.There were leftovers on the tea tables around, and half a jug of wine was open, reeking of alcohol.

Qiu Xinggong suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped forward and kicked the figure fiercely, and shouted: "Get up for me!"

The figure was sleeping soundly, but was kicked awake suddenly, was about to get angry, rubbed his eyes and saw clearly that it was Qiu Xinggong, quickly got up, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Why did uncle kick me? "

"Kick you?"

Qiu Xinggong was furious: "If you are not my nephew, I would like to kill you now!"

This person was Qiu Yingqi. Hearing this, he was startled and confused, and hurriedly asked: "Why is uncle so angry? Who made you angry? Tell my nephew, I will vent my anger on you!"

"Isn't it you, a wicked person?!"

Qiu Xinggong pointed his halberd and said angrily: "If you want you to assassinate Gao Jifu and cut off the arm of the King of Jin as a step to surrender to the prince, you are doing well, lest people in the world know that Gao Jifu's death is related to the battle for the throne, right? To carry out an assassination in broad daylight outside Mingde's gate is simply stupid!"

Qiu Yingqi was still in a daze and didn't wake up, she scratched her head when she heard the words, and said aggrievedly: "Isn't our purpose of assassinating Gao Jifu just to cut off King Jin's wings as a token of surrender to the prince? It is a certificate of honor, so naturally the greater the influence, the greater the consequences, the greater the effect! To assassinate a high-ranking official like Gao Jifu in the street, the deterrence given to the King Jin family is simply unparalleled. Only in this way can we better demonstrate the loyalty of our Qiu family Geng Geng! What's wrong with this?"

"I... Mother!"

Hearing that Qiu Yingqi not only refused to admit his mistake, but instead argued plausibly, Qiu Xinggong was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. In a rage, he kicked him to the ground and cursed: "It's just an elm head, so stupid. Dead wood cannot be carved!"

Qiu Yingqi was kicked until he grinned. Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to refute. After all, this uncle had a great reputation in the past, but now he was very old, but the lingering prestige was still there, and he was frightened in his heart, so he had no choice but to promise: "Yes, yes, uncle. The lesson is, it’s all my nephew’s fault.”

Qiu Xinggong vented his anger, and seeing the bastard's expression of displeasure, he had no choice but to subdue his temper patiently: "Nowadays, the battle for the reserve position has caused a lot of ups and downs in the ruling and opposition parties. Some civil servants and military generals all support the prince. After all, the prince is the eldest son, and his name is justified. Those censors have written letters all day long, asking His Majesty to deprive King Jin of his official position, and issue an edict to confirm the crown prince's position as heir, otherwise the rules will be reversed. , The world is not peaceful, and His Majesty is very troubled by it. It is good for you, at this juncture, Gao Jifu was assassinated outside Mingde's gate with such great fanfare. You can't kill people with a knife?"

Only then did Qiu Yingqi feel the fear, and tremblingly said: "What should I do?"

When Qiu Xinggong saw his face, he was furious. He had seen countless fools and fools in his life, but had he ever seen such a fool?
The whole Qiu family is afraid to be tricked by this idiot!

Qiu Xinggong said in a cold voice with a gloomy face: "In the past few days, you will take your subordinates to hide in this village, you can't go out, and you can't see anyone. Wait until the old man finds an opportunity to meet the crown prince and see if the crown prince is okay. Willing to accept our nomination certificate. You'd better pray to the gods to bless the crown prince with this courage, otherwise if the crown prince doesn't come around, not only your little life will be lost, but our Qiu family will suffer!"

Qiu Yingqi panicked and said: "Why is this? Uncle, don't scare me!"

Qiu Xinggong said angrily: "Why is this so? Our Qiu family is not to be implicated by you this time, so that we are lucky to exterminate the three clans! Let you assassinate Gao Jifu, and kill him without anyone noticing it. Advocating that the city is full of storms is simply stupid!"

Qiu Yingqi was submissive, not daring to say a word.

Qiu Xinggong was too lazy to talk to him, he flicked his sleeves and said: "You just stay here and wait for news from XX!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
