At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 134 The real murderer behind the scenes
After being rescued by the imperial physician, Song Guxi's life was saved, but she lost a lot of blood and fell into a coma.

Zhu Qizhen simply arranged her in a remote room in Qianqing Palace, and sent special personnel to guard her.

Under the night, Juesheng Wei Yang Zhicong quietly entered the palace.

Zhu Qizhen knew that he would definitely come, and had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time.

"What do you know about today's assassination?"

Yang Zhicong took out a written letter and handed it over.

After Zhu Qizhen opened it, he couldn't help frowning.

The more he looked down, the more ugly his face became.

Before the army marched in person, Zhu Qizhen specifically ordered Yang Zhicong to keep an eye on Song Guxi, because the White Lotus Sect was a very distinctive organization in history. The Song Dynasty opposed the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty opposed the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty opposed the Ming Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty, they called for anti-Qing and Fuming. .

Although they haven't done anything out of the ordinary right now, who knows that something will happen suddenly one day!

Jueshengwei are all deaf-mute, not martial arts masters, their greatest ability is lip reading, and what's more, deaf-mute people are easy to be ignored by others, so they are very suitable for inquiring information.

Therefore, the extremely secretive White Lotus Sect, even though it escaped Jin Yiwei's eyeliner, was still discovered by Yang Zhicong.

In the case of Fan Ji's warehouse, the White Lotus Sect lost a lot of money. For this reason, the White Lotus Sect Master specially sent Yang Xiong, the protector, to the capital to find Song Guxi secretly and ask her for an explanation.

Song Guxi couldn't hide it, so she had to tell the truth. Yang Xiong was shocked when he heard that she could be connected with the current emperor.

Immediately, he made a request, using Song Guxi's privilege, to ask her to write a false report and hand it over to Jin Yiwei.

However, Song Guxi refused to say anything, and the two became deadlocked.

Later, Yang Xiong discussed this matter with Song Guxi many times, but there was no result. Immediately afterwards, news of the army's triumphant return came.

For some reason, Yang Xiong suddenly became murderous, lured Song Guxi into an ambush in a restaurant facing the street, and let an assassin assassinate him in the street. An illusion of committing suicide in fear of guilt.

However, when Yang Zhicong got the accurate news, the emperor had already entered the city, so there was no time to report.

Fortunately, Song Guxi's life is still tenacious. Although the knife stabbed deeply in the abdomen, she survived.

After reading the letter, Zhu Qizhen asked, "Do you know the false information that Yang Xiong asked Song Guxi to deliver?"

Yang Zhicong shook his head.

Zhu Qizhen said again: "Is Yang Xiong still in the capital?"

Yang Zhicong shook his head again.

"Oh shit!"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but slapped the table, and said angrily: "How dare you assassinate me, the White Lotus Sect is really tired!"

Yang Zhicong came forward and wrote two words with a pen: "Arrest!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "You send the information to Yuan Bin now, and search the whole city for those who are related to the White Lotus Sect, regardless of their identities, take them all!"

Yang Zhicong saluted, then retreated and disappeared into the night.

The more Zhu Qizhen thought about it, the more angry he was, he called Jin Ying and ordered: "I will issue a decree to Xu Chengzong, who is defending Nanjing, and send troops immediately to wipe out the White Lotus Sect!"

The old nest of the White Lotus Sect is in Nanjing, and its main sphere of influence is in the coastal prefectures and counties of Southern Zhili.

Jin Ying said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, is it tomorrow..."

"Can't wait, just now!"

"But... the Secretary of General Administration drafted the decree, the cabinet approved it, and then the chief inspector stamped it. After these procedures are completed, I'm afraid..."

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "Go and tell the cabinet that this imperial decree must be sent out before dawn, otherwise, you can ask me to resign tomorrow!"

"Yes, slaves obey!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Jin Ying didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and ran all the way to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Qizhen set off to return to Qianqing Palace.

Empress Qian waited for him to take off his coat, her face was full of concern.

"Your Majesty, has the murderer been caught?"

"Forget it!"

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and said: "The mastermind behind the scenes has already left the city, this grandson, when I catch him, I will poke a thousand holes in him with arrows!"

No matter who it is, it will not feel good to be hit by such an arrow for no reason.

"The girl in the wing room..."

Seeing Empress Qian hesitated to speak, Zhu Qizhen said directly: "She is not the real murderer, she is my man!"

"what?"

Empress Qian was a little confused. She heard people say that she was a prostitute, so why did she become a slut? What's the situation?

"You don't know, her identity is not ordinary, she is the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, and at the same time, she is also my secret agent."

"Oh!"

Empress Qian suddenly realized, and asked again: "Then what happened today..."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Although this person is a woman, she is still righteous, because she didn't want to betray me, so she was murdered."

Empress Qian immediately liked Song Gu Xi a little more, and said: "When she wakes up, I will thank you personally."

In the middle of the night, Song Guxi slowly opened his eyes.

Her consciousness was a little fuzzy, she only felt her lips were thirsty, so she murmured: "Water, water..."

A little palace lady was dozing off, when she heard someone talking, she woke up suddenly, and then went to report.

Because the emperor himself ordered that as long as this person wakes up, no matter when, he must report immediately.

However, Zhu Qizhen slept soundly, Empress Qian had no choice but to push him.

"Your Majesty, that girl is awake!"

Zhu Qizhen opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "Who... who woke up?"

Empress Qian hurriedly said, "It's the girl from the daytime!"

"Oh!"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen come to his senses, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Empress Qian hurriedly ordered someone to take a coat and put it on the emperor, and then followed.

Zhu Qizhen turned around and said, "I'm going to ask her about the case, so don't go!"

After finishing speaking, he walked quickly to the wing, only to see Song Guxi's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, as if he had no strength at all.

"you're awake?"

"Emperor... Your Majesty!"

Song Guxi struggled to sit up, but was held down by Zhu Qizhen.

"You have lost too much blood now, and your body is very weak, just lie down and don't move!"

"No... not... the slave family..."

Song Guxi's expression was very urgent, she tried her best, but couldn't speak.

"I know, it wasn't you who assassinated me!"

Song Guxi stopped talking, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Zhu Qizhen said again: "I also know that Yang Xiong coerced you to deliver false information, and you refused to agree, did you?"

Song Guxi tried her best to nod, her face full of grievances.

"I can't blame you for this. You did something for me, but I failed to protect you. It's my negligence!"

Hearing this, Song Guxi couldn't bear it any longer, tears flowed out.

"Okay, take a good rest, and wait until you feel refreshed."

Zhu Qizhen stood up, only to find that Song Guxi was clutching his skirt tightly without knowing when.

He thought about it, and sat back on the bed.

"It's almost dawn, and I won't be able to sleep when I go back, why don't we... chat for a while?"
