The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

Fortunately, Jing Xiangyuan, who was closest to Jing Xiangting, reacted in time, and Jing Xiangting himself had some kung fu skills, so he was not stabbed in the vital parts.

However, the assassin's sword was poisoned, and although the imperial physician treated him in time, he still suffered a lot.

Zichen Palace.

At this time, Jing Xiangting was sitting upright on the dragon throne above. The bandaged area on his shoulder was very conspicuous. He was full of anger and some residual poison had not yet cleared, so his face looked very bad.

Except for Jing Xiangyuan who was standing, the Prime Minister Cao Jingguo, the Minister of the Central Secretariat Chen Wenxuan, the Minister of the Palace Wang Zhaoqun, the Minister of War Dong Yuan, the commanding generals of the six armies of the Shenwu Army, the Minister of Punishments Zhuo Zhen, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple Ye Deyuan and other officials all knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

The emperor was actually assassinated and injured while offering sacrifices to the late emperor. This was a big slap in the emperor's face.

Moreover, all the captured assassins committed suicide on the spot, and there has been no clues found so far. How could the emperor not be angry? However, what made the people kneeling below even more worried was that the emperor might have suspected each and every one of them.

After all, with such tight defense, how could an assassin sneak in? Who would believe that there was no traitor?

Jing Xiangyuan wanted to give some advice, but seeing that his brother was obviously angry, he didn't know how to start.

Fortunately, no matter how angry Jing Xiangting was, he knew that now was not the time to just get angry at them. He had to first find out the mastermind behind the daring assassination of him.

These people need to be investigated slowly. If there really are traitors among them, he can then make an example of them and let all the civil and military officials in the court know what thunderous wrath is.

"Everyone, get up, Ye Deyuan. Haven't you figured out the origins of those assassins yet?! If you don't have this little bit of ability, you should give up your position as the Supreme Court Justice to someone more capable."

Ye Deyuan, who had just stood up, knelt down again and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I only found out that they arrived in the capital half a month ago, and the information they registered at the city gate was false."

"But I have asked people to continue the investigation and will definitely find out their true colors. I beg Your Majesty to give me another chance."

As he spoke, he kowtowed continuously, making a banging sound. He knew in his heart that the emperor had been assassinated, and he, as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, could not even find out the background of the assassin. If he could not make the emperor soften his heart, he would have to pack up and go home to farm.

Seeing him like this made Jing Xiangting angry, but after all, he had followed him since before he ascended the throne. Jing Xiangting sighed, "Alright! Stop kowtow. You'd better find the thief behind the scenes as soon as possible."

Hearing him say this, Ye Deyuan felt a little relieved and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! I will investigate this thoroughly!"

Jing Xiangting ignored him and continued, "Zhuo Zhen, Ma Chao, how is the review of all the accompanying personnel and guards present that day going?"

Zhuo Zhen stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, after all the investigations, we found that one of the mausoleum guards was suspicious. When I sent people to arrest him, I found that he had hanged himself. He was also an orphan. Now I am investigating the people related to him."

"What?! Dead! That's great!" It was obvious that the person behind the scenes had silenced them before they could, and Jing Xiangting was so angry that he laughed.

"I have failed to perform my duties well, Your Majesty, please punish me." Zhuo Zhen did not beg for mercy, but Jing Xiangting had no intention of punishing him now.

"Keep investigating. In addition to the deceased mausoleum guard, we must also investigate the others."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Ma Chao stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I have checked all the escort officers and soldiers, and found no suspicious people. I will continue to check to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."

"Okay, the person behind the scenes is hiding deep and has big plans. We must find him out, otherwise I will not be able to sleep or eat well."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" everyone shouted in unison.

Afterwards, all the ministers began to offer suggestions on how to track down the person behind the incident, how to strengthen the guards of the imperial palace and the searches in the capital.

They believed that there must be many clues that have not been found, and that to be able to carry out such a major assassination, there must be more than a few people behind the scenes.

At this time, Jing Xiangyuan suddenly said: "Brother, I have a bad guess, I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Jing Xiangting rarely saw his brother so serious, so he said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"I think the person behind this is most likely the remnant of the rebel group."

As soon as he said this, all the ministers fell silent. Although Jing Xiangyuan did not mention anyone by name, they all knew who he was talking about as a remnant of the rebel party.

He was the former prince's party, the Fourth Prince Jing Xiangyan, who luckily escaped from the current emperor after the prince's death.

Jing Xiangting was not as furious as the ministers had imagined. Instead, there was a cold light in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I also have some doubts in my heart, and I guess it might be him."

The emperor looked even scarier than when he was angry, and the ministers below didn't dare to say a word.

However, Jing Xiangting quickly returned to normal and continued to discuss with everyone how to capture the culprit behind the stabbing and hold those involved in the stabbing incident accountable.

……

From that day on, the atmosphere in the capital seemed to become tense. Officials in the court, those with connections, and those who knew a little about the details began to live in fear.

He was afraid that the investigation would lead to him, even though his family had nothing to do with the assassin. But he was not afraid of being investigated for this matter, but he was afraid of other things.

However, the assassination of the emperor was not something that should be publicized, so most people did not know about it. They just felt that suddenly, there were many more patrol teams in the capital.

They were patrolling all the time, day and night. Anyone showing any abnormal behavior would be caught and questioned immediately. Suddenly, there were no thieves left on the streets.

Whether it is a private residence or an inn, it will be checked several times, and the household registration information of the residents and guests will be checked one by one. Entering and exiting the city gate has also become extremely cumbersome and will go through several checks.

At this time, in a farm outside the capital.

Jinfeng said to Jing Xiangyan, "Master, the entire capital is under heavy guard right now. Anyone who behaves suspiciously will be arrested and questioned. Our people cannot withstand a close scrutiny. I'll ask them to lie low and put all other matters on hold to avoid being caught and implicated."

Jing Xiangyan sneered, "Why is my third brother getting less courageous as he gets older? He got so scared after being stabbed with a sword that he caused a sensation in the whole city."

Jinfeng on the side didn't dare to respond, but just listened. Fortunately, Jing Xiangyan didn't intend to ask for his response.

He said calmly, "I see. You did the right thing. Tell them to wait patiently and not be discovered. If they are accidentally exposed, they know what to do..."

The cold eyes without any emotion looked at Jinfeng, who trembled violently, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Master, they all know what to do. If they are unfortunately caught, they will immediately bite the poison in their mouths and commit suicide, and will not reveal any information about us."

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes, master."

When Jing Xiangyan was the only one left in the room, he couldn't bear it any longer and swept all the tea sets on the table to the floor.

He thought bitterly, they are all useless! Why did he miss the target and fail to kill Jing Xiangting?

Otherwise, his plan to seize the throne would be two-thirds complete, really! Now he can only lie low and wait for good news from the border.

But Jing Xiangting would never have thought that he was hiding so close to him, hahaha!

……

Li Shao naturally knew about the emperor's assassination. He had only one thought: it turned out that it was not that he was too sensitive, but that Jing State was really going to be in chaos.

He didn't tell Zhao Ye because he was afraid that he would be scared. How brazen was it that someone dared to assassinate the emperor in the capital under the protection of so many guards.

Li Shao directly stipulated that Zhao Ye and his two children must bring at least four elite guards from the family whenever they go out.

Zhao Ye didn't understand, but still listened to Li Shao obediently.
