I Xiaoxiong

On the first day when Jiedu envoy returned to the city, he was assassinated on the way back to the mansion after attending the banquet of the King of Shu.

Regardless of whether he himself has any problems, this is a major event that is enough to shake Chengdu, even Yizhou, and even the southwestern half.

The well-informed families even got the news within an hour after the incident happened.

For a time, there was a lot of turmoil in the city of Chengdu, and people were panicked.

In the Du residence, the owner, Du Ji, called his son Du Dun early in the morning, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know what happened last night?"

Du Dun nodded: "There is no impenetrable wall, and everyone in Chengdu knows about it. The Marquis of Wu'an was assassinated in the street last night. I really don't know who has the guts. It's fine to burn down the archives a few days ago. Dushi, this is a rebellion, and you want to ransack your family and exterminate your family."

"In a while, you go to Yang's house to find out what's going on."

When Du Dun heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Aye, this... Yang Da doesn't seem like a person who can do such a thing? He shouldn't be."

The Yang Da he was talking about was the head of the Yang family, Yang Songnian.He is also his first cousin.

Yang Songnian's mother is Du Dun's biological aunt and Du Ji's biological sister. Yang Du's three families, including the Yan family, are related by marriage for generations.

That's why Du Ji still wanted to know if his always courageous nephew did it.

If so, try to save yourself now.

The Zhu Jiu Clan has a mother and three clans, and as a biological uncle, he can't get rid of the relationship.

"Go ahead. Although Songnian won't do such a thing, if you go, you should at least ask clearly, just for peace of mind. After all, the Yan family has absolutely no reason to do such a thing. Only a desperate lunatic can do this kind of thing. will be stained"

"It's Aye, I see."

Du Dun responded immediately after hearing this, and then turned and went out.

But Yang Songnian was having breakfast in Yang's house in the north of the city, and his wife, Mrs. Yan, was dining with him. Naturally, Mrs. Yan came from another prominent family in central Sichuan, the Yan family.

The husband and wife were eating snacks and porridge, when someone hurriedly came to report, "Patriarch, Uncle Yan is here."

Before he finished speaking here, he saw Yan Ting barge in directly.

"What's the matter, brother, you came so early, have you had breakfast yet?"

Seeing that his brother-in-law Yang Songnian was so calm, Yan Ting smiled, "It's nothing serious, I'll stop by Jiefu and come to your house for a meal."

Yang Songnian smiled and said: "Brother, you can't even invite me on weekdays, come here, come and get a pair of bowls and chopsticks quickly."

Yan Ting just sat down here, but Mrs. Yan saw that her brother had come so early, she probably had something to say to the head of the house, so she got up and said, "Sir, sit down first, and I will let the kitchen prepare some dishes."

After that, he got up and left.

When his sister left, Yan Ting drank a bowl of porridge and asked his brother-in-law Yang Songnian directly: "Did you do what happened last night?"

When Yang Songnian heard it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, let me tell you, why did you come here so eagerly, brother? It turned out to be because of this. How could it be possible that I was going crazy, and I wouldn't have to pay back my wealth?" How dare I do such a thing with the lives of the whole family?"

Yan Ting looked at Yang Songnian, stared straight at him, and then sighed after a while, "It's really not like you did this."

Yang Songnian smiled and shook his head, "You see, I like to take risks on salt, I owe the most salt tax, and I eat the most military land, so you think I will go crazy and do such things? I like money. Yes, but I cherish my life more.”

As soon as the voice here fell, there was a report immediately, "Patriarch, the third master of the Du family is here."

When Yang Songnian heard it, he smiled helplessly: "You don't trust me. Please come in."

Du Dun was also a little surprised when he saw Yang Songnian sitting with Yan Ting, and then he understood his purpose, "Songnian, if you want to disturb me, brother Yan is also here."

"Third brother, tell me, did my uncle ask you to come and check on me? You don't think that what happened last night has something to do with me, do you?"

Du Dun said solemnly: "Brother Yan is not an outsider, you and I are blood relatives, so I won't hide it. I don't need to tell you how important this matter is. Song Nian, you give me a letter of approval. It really has nothing to do with you?"

"Don't worry, this matter really has nothing to do with the Yang family, but you two are here today, which means that this matter was not done by our three families. Marquis Wu An went to the Li family when he was in Yanting. It can be regarded as a great favor, and it can't be the Li family, the Shu Palace is high above, and it is also the clan, and the banquet was held in the palace yesterday, and the King of Shu has no reason. Is this what Honglian Dao did?"

Yan Ting nodded and said: "It is very likely that Hong Lian Dao did it. Only these rebellious rebels can be so desperate to assassinate Jie Dushi. It will take less than half a month, and everyone in the capital will have to know about it. Good Jie Shuai is fine, if something goes wrong with him, the whole Yizhou will not be safe."

As the deputy envoy of Jiedu, he is too aware of Fu Jinchuan's influence in Jiannan Road and the army.

Recently, the imperial court used troops, whether it was against foreign enemies like the Northwest Ercap, or against internal thieves like Wu Wang's rebellion and Honglian's rebellion, Fu Jinchuan was the mainstay.

Leaving aside the fact that the situation in central Shu only turned from danger to safety after he entered Shu.

These two battles have also completely stabilized the wealth-heavy land in Central Shu. If such an important court official is still a relative of the emperor, if something happens, His Majesty the emperor in the capital will be furious.

At that time, anyone who is suspected of being related to this matter will not have a peaceful life.

Even his vice envoy of Jiedu can't even think about being safe.

Fortunately, the Yang and Du families who have a close relationship with the Yan family seem to have nothing to do with this matter.

This undoubtedly let Yan Jing breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's go here. Such a big incident happened. I don't know what kind of chaos there is in the Jiefu today. I will go to the Jiefu first. I will talk to the two of you another day."

Say it, Yan Ting got up and left.

When the people left, Yang Songnian asked Du Dun beside him: "Third brother, do you think we should go to Jiefu?"

Du Dun nodded after thinking for a while: "I should go and see, don't care if I can see Jie Shuai, I have to go through the motions, after all, such a big thing happened, it's not easy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, just go there good."

Here Yan Ting had just left the gate of the Yang family when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Brother Yan, go slowly."

After learning that the two of them were going to Jiefu all the way, Yan Ting also nodded: "It's good to go there."

So Yan Ting rode on the horse, and Du Yang and the two got into the carriage and went all the way to Jiefu.

As usual, the Jiefu was heavily guarded, but today Yan Ting and Yang Du felt a little more chilling.

Before Yan Ting entered the mansion, a young guard said: "I have seen the deputy commander, Lord Hou is already waiting in the White Tiger Festival Hall, and Master Hou also ordered those who came with you not to notify, but to go in together. "

Yan Ting nodded, he recognized the young man, his surname seemed to be Qi, and he was the personal guard of Marquis Wu'an.

It seems that he made a special trip to wait for him, since he has something to say, he doesn't have to wait for the communication, he greets the other two people and enters together.

Yan Ting looked at the Jiefu along the way, but the guards were tighter than usual.

The corridors and the doorways are all elite dental soldiers in iron armor, which is also in line with the current situation.

All the way to the White Tiger Festival Hall, outside the hall is heavily armored, and two rows of dental soldiers stand like a forest holding long spears.

And there was a person sitting on the big chair in the middle, wearing ordinary clothes, with a stern face and torch-like eyes.
