Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"Who dares to search my car!" the prince shouted, and stepped out of the carriage with the curtain lifted.

The carriage was surrounded by Bingmasi's soldiers, and the leader riding on the red horse was Shi Lezhi, the commander of Dongcheng Bingmasi.Before he was ordered to search the Dongcheng area of ​​the inner city, he saw a carriage galloping recklessly on the empty street in the middle of the night, and felt suspicious, so he led his men to stop the carriage and wanted to search for it.

The coachman is a servant of the Eastern Palace, he was ordered by the young master not to reveal his identity, so he persuaded the nobles in the car not to be alarmed, and asked them to make way.

Shi Lezhi thought: What kind of noble person can he be driving on the street in the middle of the night, besides, even if the person in the car has an official position, can he be more expensive than Feng Anhou, the in-law of the empress dowager and the uncle of the noble concubine?

So I made up my mind to search for a car.He also expressed the intention of asking for bribes in his words, and used his power to overwhelm others, which annoyed the coachman and told the Lord.

The boy in the car appeared and called himself "Master", which shocked Shi Lezhi a lot.He was only a sixth-rank military officer, and he had never seen the real face of the prince, not even the belt badge of the Eastern Palace.Don't dare to salute rashly, for fear of being cheated by others, it will only increase the laughing stock; and dare not directly treat the other party as a liar, I heard that the current prince is very playful and unruly, what if the prince really leaves the palace at night?Suddenly in a dilemma.

A deputy commander beside him reminded in a low voice: "This matter is urgent, it is better to let the subordinate officials report to Lord Hou and see how he will give instructions. No matter what, Lord Hou will always know the truth."

Shi Lezhi nodded repeatedly, telling him to hurry up.This room is dealing with the prince who doesn't know the truth and the truth, talking back and forth, but refuses to give way.

The Marquis of Feng'an's Mansion is not far from here. After hearing the report, Wei Jun was overjoyed - if this prince is a fake, it is a big case of deceiving the emperor, and it is not a great achievement to fall into his hands; if it is really Zhu Helin himself , Kuiye left the imperial palace privately, played in wild clothes, and held absurd and immoral events. It happened that tomorrow he would instruct the speaker who attached himself to him to impeach him severely in the court, shaking the throne of the Eastern Palace.

Whether it is or not, it is a rare good opportunity for him.Wei Jun didn't care about the elusive assassin anymore, so he ordered Qi Jiading to guard him, and rushed to the scene to protect him with great fanfare.

The King of Yu kept his promise, and ordered people to fetch ten precious banknotes with a denomination of one hundred guan, put them in a box and hand them to Xiyan.

Xiyan took the box and held it tightly in her arms, glanced at Wu Ming anxiously, and begged: "This hero wants to take me away, my lord is merciful, save the villain!"

King Yu smiled: "Hasn't the favor of the lonely king already been given to you? Why come to ask for it again. Seek blessings." He waved away the guests, Wu Ming immediately picked up Xiyan's back collar, and still climbed over the wall and left the palace .

Only then did Xiyan realize that money is useless, and it is useless to spend it. She couldn't help crying with regret and fear.

He is used to singing, and his crying also has a theatrical tone, with twists and turns, Wu Ming's goosebumps trembled all over the floor, if it wasn't for revenge, he would have been thrown from mid-air and left to fend for himself.

Flying across several streets, Xiyan was still crying.Wu Ming couldn't help but start to suspect that it would be a bad idea to sneak into the troupe to assassinate - this actor is as cowardly as a mouse, how can he be a cover, he is afraid that when he sees the old thief Wei, he will show his cowardice and bring himself to failure.

But if this pillar is missing, whoever is going to sing, it’s not good for him to put on makeup and costumes and go on stage, right?

Wu Ming frowned irritably, and suddenly heard a faint noise in the distance, which could be heard far away in the quiet night. He had excellent hearing, and when he listened carefully, he suspected that it was the soldiers who were patrolling the night.

Putting Xiyan on the roof casually, Wu Ming jumped up to the high archway, looked up, and saw the lights on two streets outside, officers and soldiers surrounded a carriage, attacking and not attacking, withdrawing and not retreating, stalemate there .

Less than two streets away, another team of troops galloped up. Judging from their clothes, they looked like the guards of Feng'anhoufu.There was a tall horse surrounded by a horse. The person on the horse was dressed in brocade and swallow clothes. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Wu Ming recognized his figure at a glance. It was the old thief Wei Jun.

Who was he intercepted in the carriage, the old thief Wei was so excited that he didn't even want to be a coward?Could it be a substitute again... No, training a substitute is not so easy, and it takes a lot of time just to find someone who looks similar to him naturally.He had just died as a substitute, and he couldn't find a second person in a short time.

The enemy was right in front of him, but Wu Ming was extremely calm, weighing several assassination plans that came up at the moment in his mind, and selected the one with the highest success rate.

He turned around a few ups and downs and returned to the roof.Xiyan was trying to slide down the ridge, trembling to reach the eaves with her feet.

Wu Ming picked up the Lingguan who had failed to escape, and walked across two streets.At a secluded corner, he planted Xiyan to the ground, and said coldly, "Take off your clothes."

Xiyan grasped the money box subconsciously, put her arms around her chest, and said in a crying voice: "What does the hero want to do..."

Impatient, Wu Ming stepped forward and took off his costume two or three times.Ruqun and beige were mostly dried by the night wind, only a little wet.

Xiyan continued to take off her obscene clothes with a face full of shame and indignation.

The veins on Wu Ming's forehead twitched, and he cursed: "Shameless!" As he said that, he took off his night clothes, threw his pocket to Xiyan, put the costume on himself indiscriminately, then tore off the mask, put it in a bun, and made his hair shiny. Black hair hangs down her back.

He is well-proportioned, not too tall, with such women's clothes and hair, at first glance he looks like a little lady in trouble.

Xiyan's obscene clothes were also wet, and she was shivering when the wind blew, so she had no choice but to put on her night clothes and was forced to cover her face with a veil.

He couldn't help staring at Wu Ming's face, at first glance he felt ordinary, compared with the rich and handsome King Yu, at best he could only be regarded as having good facial features, he was inexplicably disappointed in his heart.But after taking a few more glances, the line of sight from the top of the thin lips and the bridge of the nose suddenly bumped into the eyes that looked like cold stars and swords. A flash of bright white lightning struck the night sky.

Xiyan couldn't help taking two steps back, thinking fearfully: This is a evil star!

Wu Ming suddenly showed him a slight sneer: "Run as hard as you can, and ask for blessings."

Then he pushed Xiyan out of the corner of the wall and shouted towards the officers and soldiers, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief! A black-clothed thief has entered the courtyard of the servant's house!"

Xiyan was dressed in nocturnal clothes, exposed to the far-off firelight, and was stunned.

When Wei Jun arrived, the young man who got out of the carriage was cursing with a livid face, Shi Lezhi pinched his nose and was scolded, Xun Xun said yes, but he refused to let him go.

He took a closer look and found that the young man was indeed the prince Zhu Helin. He immediately smiled, and bowed his hands on the horse: "It turns out that you are really a young master. These soldiers are so blind that they dare to be rude to the young master. They should be punished! Commander Shi , why don’t you kowtow to the young master to make amends?”

Shi Lezhi immediately knelt down and kowtowed continuously: "The humble official is blind, please forgive me!"

Wei Jun said again: "It is the duty of the soldiers and horses to watch the night and arrest robbers. I accidentally bumped into the young master, and I hope that the young master will show his noble hand and let them go. In this way, the servants will also appreciate the young master's benevolence."

The prince didn't like his tricks, and said with a sneer, "It's the duty of the soldiers and horses to watch the night. Why did the Marquis of Fengan come here so quickly after hearing the sound? Could it be that there was a conspiracy between the two? You are not subordinate to the Ministry of War, but let you be sent by the Marquis of An."

Collusion between foreign relatives and military officials, meddling in military power is a serious crime, and the crown prince asked him a very cruel question.

Wei Jun cursed secretly in his heart: This kid is getting trickier and harder to deal with!With a forced smile on his face, he explained: "The old minister Gai was assassinated by Xiao Xiao a few days ago. Fortunately, he was unharmed, so he led his family to patrol the vicinity of the mansion at night. Hearing that there was something strange here, he came over to see what happened." : "In the middle of the night, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not in the East Palace, but showing up on the street in white clothes? Could it be that you have been traveling for too long and missed the time to release the key to the palace?"

These words pointed out the prince's current predicament, the word "Yeyou" implicitly questioned him whether he sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows.

Zhu Helin rolled his eyes and raised his voice: "Gu Weifu's private visit is naturally on business. Why, do you still need to report to the Marquis of Feng'an? You want to know? Go ask the emperor yourself!"

He answered confidently, Wei Jun couldn't figure out the details for a while, so he couldn't say anything more, thinking: It's not convenient for Benhou to ask the emperor face to face, but at least he can make a group of officials talk about it, and make tomorrow morning a mess , you just wait and see!

Zhu Helin frightened Wei Jun by mentioning his father's name - as for how to explain it in front of the emperor later, that's another matter, after all, he is his own father, so he can still eat him.

Just as he was proudly about to drive away, Wei Jun said again: "The old minister sees that the car is slightly heavy, and I think there is another person in the car. Who would dare to be so bold as to ride with the prince?"

The prince glared at him fiercely: "There is no one in the lonely car, why, you don't believe me, want to search for the car?"

Wei Jun said earnestly: "Young master is a daughter of gold, so don't ignore safety. If the assassin hides in the car with the intention of committing crimes, and I don't notice on the spot, the crime will be serious!"

The prince said: "I know the safety of my young master, so you don't need to worry about it, Marquis Fengan!"

The more he protected the carriage, the more suspicious Wei Jun felt. He secretly thought that there must be a shady person hiding in the carriage, and he was having fun with the prince at night. It was either a flower girl in a brothel or a young lady from the south courtyard. I will take him on the spot , Let's see how he ends up tonight!

Wei Jun felt that he was sure of everything, and suddenly shouted: "There is the sound of weapons in the car, it is an assassin! Hurry up and escort! Protect the young master to a safe place!"

Shi Lezhi didn't hear any movement in the car, he was hesitating, but was glared at by Wei Jun, so he got up and ordered his subordinates: "Hurry up and escort! Get the assassin in the car!"

"Whoever dares to offend the driver of the Eastern Palace will have your heads fall to the ground! None of you will live!" The crown prince stood in front of the car door with his hands behind his back, his tone cold and stern, his face smoldering with anger, faintly showing the power of his father.

The soldiers were overwhelmed by his aura and flinched, not daring to go forward.Even Shi Lezhi, the commander of the soldiers and horses, looked at Wei Jun in embarrassment, and gave the order to go back to the order, but his own feet did not move.

Wei Jun was angry and helpless.

The scene was at a stalemate, when a woman's shrill exclamation was suddenly heard, and Jingye rang out like thunder: "Catch the thief! Catch the thief! A thief in black has entered the courtyard of my slave's house!"

The officers and soldiers followed the prestige and saw a figure in night clothes standing on the far corner of the street, in a dark place where the flames could hardly illuminate.Shi Lezhi immediately shouted: "It's an assassin! Hurry up!" The troops of Bingmasi followed him and rushed to the end of the street.

Wei Jun was terrified by the two assassinations by the masked man in black. He only wanted to search for a car as an excuse, but now that the assassin was really on this street, his face turned pale with shock, and he unconsciously moved closer to the prince.

The prince avoided it, and gave him a disgusted look: "Didn't you take your servants to patrol Xiaoxiao, and now that the real master is right in front of you, why don't you go and arrest him?"

Wei Jun murmured: "The soldiers and horses have a lot of manpower and are well-trained, and they have rich experience in arresting thieves. They are enough."

Shi Lezhi led his troops to the corner at the end of the street, but there was no shadow of the man in black, and he asked loudly, "Who shouted 'catch the thief'? Where did the thief go?"

In front of the roadside house, a woman wearing an embroidered skirt, a long gown, and loose long hair covered her face and wept, "It's my slave's house...the thief has gone south."

"South, hurry up!" Shi Lezhi immediately ordered his subordinates.

"...I'm so scared to death! I'm going to call my husband back now." The girl lowered her head and walked hurriedly towards the street, passing him.

As soon as the soldiers and horses left, there was a lot of space next to the carriage. Zhu Helin said to the servant of the Hou's mansion in a bad voice: "Get out of the way! Whoever dares to stop me, I will directly draw my sword and cut him off!"

The servants stepped back a few steps to protect Wei Jun, who was like a frightened bird.Zhu Helin was about to re-board the car when he suddenly saw a group of guards in brocade clothes holding torches galloping towards the north from the direction of the imperial city. In a flash, the leader got off his horse and knelt down to salute: "I am humbled by the emperor's word of mouth. Go back to the palace."

Zhu Helin's face turned green, and he murmured, "It's so late, Father is still awake...how does he know everything?"

The leader of Jin Yiwei urged again: "The emperor ordered, please return to the palace immediately, and don't delay outside."

Zhu Helin had no choice but to enter the carriage to say goodbye to Su Yan in front of so many eyes.Especially with Wei Jun still present, he didn't want this old thief to catch Su Yan as a trick, and later to join him in inciting the prince to leave the palace.

He had no choice but to order the servant who drove the carriage: "You don't have to come with me, first return the borrowed carriage, and return it to Zhao."

The carriage was bought by the crown prince after he left the palace, and the coachman naturally knew what the crown prince meant, and told him to send Su Yan back to the mansion safely, and immediately replied: "Little one, obey the order."

Zhu Helin got on his horse, looked back reluctantly, and galloped towards the imperial city under the escort of Jin Yiwei.

The coachman whipped his horse and ran for a short distance. Wei Jun and his servants and guards chased him up from behind and surrounded the carriage.

The middle-aged servant driving the car frowned and asked, "What is the meaning of this, Lord Hou? Could it be that you didn't hear the order from the prince before he left?"

Wei Jun smiled and didn't smile: "The crown prince's decree is for you, eunuch, not for this marquis. Come on, open the car door, and Ben Hou wants to have a look. Hold the pipa and half cover your face', what kind of scene is it?"

The sound of movement outside could be heard, and Su Yan sat in the carriage with a calm expression, thinking of ways to get out.

The prince and Wei Jun exchanged words several times, knocking and beating, so sharp that Su Yan couldn't help but admire secretly: This kid has really grown up, when did he become so powerful?

He also heard someone calling for an assassin, and a group of people rushed to arrest him. Su Yan thought of Wu Ming who was determined to assassinate Wei Jun, and worried that the person being hunted outside was him?

Finally took the opportunity to escape, the person sent by the emperor to take the prince back to the palace happened to arrive and took Zhu Helin away.

Su Yan suspected that there were too many things to do tonight, and as expected, the carriage had just started, the curtain was lifted, and a figure slid in from the two-foot-square window like a fish and a bird.Before he could see the opponent's figure clearly, his neck was pressed against by the sharp blade.

The uninvited guest cut his hands behind his back, pressed him face down on the seat, and threatened in a cold voice: "Don't move! Don't shout! Send me out of the outer city and spare you."

Su Yan heard the man's voice very familiar. After being startled for a while, he asked involuntarily, "Wu Ming?"

It was only then that Wu Ming discovered that the young official in the car turned out to be Mr. Su, and because he was wearing an unfamiliar fourth-rank official robe, he restrained him before he could meet him, almost hurting him.

He hurriedly let go, put the sword back into its sheath, helped Su Yan to sit up, rubbed the other's wrist that was twisted red, and said guiltily: "It's me. I didn't notice it for a while, and I almost hurt my benefactor."

Seeing him in women's clothing, Su Yan opened his eyes wide in surprise.

As a killer, Wu Ming used to dress up in any way, and he only regarded it as a tool to assist in killing, so he didn't feel embarrassed at all.Showing his ugliness in front of Su Yan this time, he felt embarrassing in his heart, lowered his head and said, "Master Su laughed."

Su Yan suppressed a smile and said, "It's okay, it fits pretty well, the fabric is gorgeous, it's a costume, right?"

Wu Ming nodded, and was about to tell him what happened in Prince Yu's mansion, but the carriage suddenly stopped, and the conversation between the coachman and Wei Jun came from outside the carriage.

"...Come on, open the car door, Ben Hou wants to see what kind of scene it is like to come out after a thousand calls, still holding a pipa half-hidden."

Wu Ming held the hilt of the sword in his hand and was about to explode, but was held tightly by Su Yan's arm.

"The timing is wrong." Su Yan advised him.

Wu Ming retorted: "Why is it wrong? The enemy is only separated by a car door, and I can kill him with a single sword!"

Su Yan held on to his sleeves: "Wei Jun hid behind the guards, surrounded by barriers. He may not be able to hit with a single sword, but exposed himself and attracted soldiers and horses to chase him down. Besides, this is the prince's chariot. If you attack the prince as soon as he leaves, you will definitely implicate him. If someone impeaches the East Palace for raising dead soldiers, and assassinates the princes and important officials in the street, even the emperor will not be able to hold him back!"

He took a breath and said in a low voice: "Just let me beg you, don't do anything here and now, and let me handle it."

Wu Ming gritted his teeth and stared at the car door with an unwilling expression.In the end, he pushed half of the blade into the sheath, and sat back with Yinhen.

Su Yan reached out to wrap his arms around the back of his head, and buried his face lightly in the hollow of his neck.

Wei Jun gave an order, and the car door was pulled open forcefully.A young man in a crimson official uniform in the carriage turned his head and looked out, with a displeased expression on his face.

In the firelight, his snow-white face was set off by the red robe, like a speck of frost on a raging fire, oozing coldness in the scorching heat, clear and eye-catching, blooming with an indescribable cold beauty.

Even Wei Jun was stunned for a while, and said in a voiceless voice: "It turned out to be you!"

Su Yan embraced the woman beside him, and said with a cold face: "The majestic Marquis, why do you want to spy on the family members of officials?"

"This is clearly the driver of Donggong, why are you in the car, and who is this woman?"

"Did Hou Ye not hear what His Highness the Crown Prince said just now? This car was borrowed from the lower official. The lower official was going to take the newly-accepted concubine back to the mansion tonight, but he ran into the young master on the way and said he wanted to take a ride. Could it be that I Can you refuse? Now that the young master has returned to the palace, Marquis Feng An is still relentlessly chasing after him, which makes people suspicious. The rumors from the government and the public are true, and the Marquis has a habit of robbing women, and even the officials are unwilling to let them go. !"

"Fart!" Wei Jun was so angry that the goats turned wildly, "It is clear that you have misbehaved and seduced the prince with a firework girl so that he doesn't come home at night, yet you dare to speak nonsense and slander me!"

Su Yan sneered: "Master Hou really does everything in order to plunder the beauty! Anyway, if you insist on robbing my concubine, the officials are weak and can't match these servants, so you can only bully me."

He took out his pocket watch and looked, "It's halfway through now, and it's only an hour or so away from the fifth watch, the next official will leave for the Meridian Gate, and there's still time to beat the Dengwen drum again!"

As soon as Wei Jun heard Su Yan mention beating Dengwen Drum, he immediately remembered the tragic situation of Feng Qu'e being impeached for twelve major crimes by him in the morning court a month ago, and forced to a dead end by verbal guns and swords.

Because of this, Su Yan became famous in the first battle, and he was nicknamed "Su Twelve" both inside and outside the court.

Wei Jun knew that his conduct was bad, and he thought to himself: Could it be that he has also collected my handle, and wants to beat the drums to break into Fengtianmen, and also impeach me, Twelve Chen, Twenty Four Chen... Another wave of prestige?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated.

"If you don't do anything wrong, why should you be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door? If Master Hou doesn't do anything wrong, the officer will knock on the Dengwen Drum again, and the accusation may not be you." Su Yan added insult to injury, "This official is Xinna My concubine, do you want Master Hou?"

"——keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly!" Wei Jun snorted angrily, and walked away in a huff.The family guards chased him away.

Su Yan closed the car door tightly before letting go.

Wu Ming raised his head from the crest of his neck, not knowing whether he was holding back or annoyed, his face was slightly red.

Su Yan smiled shyly at him: "I have wronged you to be a concubine once, and you have to follow the power in a hurry, so don't worry about it."

Wu Ming didn't speak, but looked sideways at the wall of the room, and unconsciously rubbed his fingers back and forth on the hilt of the sword.

Su Yan asked: "What are your plans in the future, will you continue to assassinate Wei Jun?"

Wu Ming replied: "Either he dies, or I die!"

Su Yan sighed softly: "I said, give me some more time, and I will bring him down. Don't you believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but... I don't want to give it to others."

"You killed him because of your personal grievances. At most, you just took his life. Only by exposing his crimes, announcing them to the world, and being cast aside by everyone, can he get the punishment he deserves."

Wu Ming was silent again.Su Yan knew that he had lost a loved one in pain and had a deep knot in his heart, which could not be melted away with a few words, so he had to let it go for the time being and slowly persuade him later.

The night road was spacious, and the coachman drove fast, and arrived at his mansion in Huanghuafang in a short time.

Su Yan pulled Wu Ming out of the car and knocked on the door.

Without knocking twice, the courtyard door opened immediately.Su Xiaojing sat at the door for half the night, and seeing his master coming home, he finally put his heart back into his stomach, and shouted happily: "Your Excellency is back!" Then he turned to Su Xiaobei who was walking quickly and said: "Brother Bei, Your lord is back, and he brought back a mistress!"

Su Xiaobei felt a little dissatisfied when he saw the woman in fancy dress and disheveled hair next to his master: What kind of mistress, she is dressed so coquettishly and undeservedly, maybe it's that prodigal house!

The footsteps also slowed down, and he came to greet Su Yan reluctantly, and asked Su Yan: "Is this madam, aunt, or your lord's concubine, what should I do?"

Seeing Wu Ming's cold face, Su Yan couldn't help laughing, and said narrowly, "This is my new concubine."
