Someone assassinated the Empress Dowager, but they didn't kill her. They only killed the expert guards around her with fire and guns, and set fire to her body.Feng Ziying wanted to use dogs to track him down, but several dogs circled around for half a day and found nothing; they searched the entire palace without finding a bullet casing.The corpses burned by the assassins could not be identified at all, so I had to ask who the empress dowagers were.Everyone is dead, and the empress dowager can't hide it, so she told everything about the list.It's just that she never mentioned Ouchi Liu's family.She thought that since she was loyal and left because of being wronged, Bao Buqi would come back when she heard that her master was in danger.

Feng Ziying searched briefly for half a day, and after lunch, he patted his horse out of the palace gate and went straight to Lixiangyuan.Just as Jia Cong came back after choking on Jia Zheng's meal, he was refreshed and in a good mood, shaking his head and singing "Little Apple".Feng Ziying stepped into the door and drove him out without any explanation.

Jia Cong stood up to change clothes, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "You'll know when you go." Jia Cong then changed into a brand-new crab-shell blue cloud bat light robe, with his forehead strung across his head.Feng Ziying secretly laughed in her heart——did he think he was going to visit Hualou?

After tidying up, Jia Cong followed Feng Ziying out and shouted casually, "I'm leaving."

Chen Ruijin suddenly fell in love with embroidery recently, sitting on the porch holding a stretcher to compare flowers, without raising his head, he said "hmm".

Feng Ziying recognized Chen Ruijin, and only thought she was a maid; the clothes and attire were no longer those of a maid.When he got out of Lixiangyuan and got on his horse, he asked with a smile: "Do you want to put it away. Do you want the girl to come into the house? Have you set a date?"

"No." Jia Cong got on the horse, "I want to marry her as a wife, and she hasn't planned to marry me so soon. Brother Huan's honeymoon is not over yet. I'm rushing to get married like a chicken, isn't it? Looks like a pervert?"

...the point is simply wrong!Feng Ziying frowned: "Wait a minute. She's a maid. I know you've always loved nonsense, and you can't be presumptuous in matters of marriage."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "She is not a maid, even if she is a maid, it is not a big deal. There are a lot of misunderstandings here, I will tell you in detail later."

Feng Ziying didn't have time to teach him about marrying a wife, so she nodded and walked straight to the gate of the Forbidden City.Jia Cong was stunned: "Brother Feng, what are you playing?"

Feng Ziying said: "The Empress Dowager was assassinated last night."

"what?"

"The assassin didn't kill her, he only killed her bodyguard, and left behind a strange note." Feng Ziying said, "Look and see."

Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "You still think you're pulling me to drink." Feng Ziying looked at his clothes and laughed.

Jia Cong also visited the Palace Museum in his previous life, and visited it three or four times, but this is the first time he has entered the Palace Museum, so he inevitably looked around curiously.Feng Ziying urged from the side: "Turn back and take a walk slowly." Jia Cong shrugged.

The two walked around the scene, and Feng Ziying explained in detail.Jia Cong listened to it with some thought, and said, "You can throw away that piece of Xue Tao note." Feng Ziying was taken aback.He immediately said, "Oh, don't throw it away! You can also check where you bought it. Also, let me warn you that the assassin may not be able to catch it."

Feng Ziying glanced at him: "What do you know? What happened to that prince?"

Jia Cong said: "Prince Shit! There is no such person." Nai pointed to the sky, "This is the Forbidden City." Then he pointed to the room of the Empress Dowager, "the Empress Dowager lives there, the most powerful woman in the harem The harem, cannibalism without spitting out bones." Nai clapped her hands "slap", "Is there anything better than secrets about the palace that can distract the investigators' attention?"

Feng Ziying was only intimidated by the words on Xue Tao's note before, but suddenly understood: "That's nonsense."

Jia Cong cocked his mouth: "If you are looking for the 'Prince' to avenge the Empress Dowager, why did you kill her guard alone and not her? Is it easy to come to the palace?"

Feng Ziying immediately said: "That's right. How did they get in?"

Jia Cong shrugged: "It may be that how you went out in the past, you can come in now. It's impossible to guarantee that people didn't come in or go out at all."

Feng Ziying took a deep breath, thinking of many possibilities in an instant, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.After a long time, he slowly said to the deputy who was following him: "Search everyone in the Forbidden City." The deputy took the order and left.

Jia Congdao asked: "Did anyone leave the palace after the incident last night? Has the news spread? Has anything been sent out?"

"No one left the palace. Since the Empress Dowager is safe, the flames were so high last night that I couldn't hide it. There are already gossips on the street."

"That's a bit of a headache." Jia Cong said, "Tell everyone to shut up, and don't leak a word. Let the word out again, just say that the small sundry yard next to the imperial dining room accidentally caught fire, and it has already been extinguished. There is nothing wrong with it." No. Check again carefully to see if there is something to send out. What about emptying the toilet, leftovers and so on." Feng Ziying looked up at him.Jia Cong bared his teeth and said, "I don't believe that a few court ladies and eunuchs can get guns."

Feng Ziying hurriedly sent people to investigate, and said: "You said just now that the assassin might not be caught?"

Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "If the family has already left and the city gate is not closed today, God knows where it has gone. Some things have to be asked by the Empress Dowager."

"It's easy."

Feng Ziying then led him to another palace not far away, where the Empress Dowager will move.It happened that the imperial doctor came out after seeing her illness.Feng Ziying casually asked how the Empress Dowager was doing, and the imperial doctor said, "I just took a rest." Feng Ziying frowned.

Jia Cong said: "Is there any one of her confidantes alive?"

Feng Ziying said: "Most of the dead are the imperial guards, most of the ordinary court ladies and eunuchs are not dead. Her confidants," he snorted, "isn't it Dai Quan?"

"Well. Then don't bother the Empress Dowager." Jia Cong thought, the young master didn't want to kowtow to her. "It's the same to ask Eunuch Dai."

The two then went inside to meet Dai Quan, and after talking about the scene, Jia Cong immediately asked, "Dare to ask Eunuch Dai, is there any way for the guards around the Empress Dowager to avoid the Imperial Forest Army outside the palace?"

Dai Quan was stunned, and said: "I don't know about the miscellaneous family. However, most of the inner guards have a way to get in and out of the palace."

Jia Cong said, "Does the Empress Dowager know?"

Dai Quan said: "How can miscellaneous people find out about this?"

Jia Cong turned his head and spread his hands to Feng Ziying: "Since that's the case, he probably escaped."

Dai Quan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jia, do you think there are Ouchi guards among those assassins?"

"It's not that I think, it's for sure." Jia Cong said, "Otherwise, what kind of corpses are they burning, why don't they run away when they have time? There are imperial guards outside, and if they run early, they will fail to save their lives."

Dai Quan suddenly took the case and said: "Li Daitao's deadlock plan!"

Jia Cong touched his nose: "It seems that we should let Jin Chan out of its shell."

Dai Quan couldn't care less about arguing with him, so he hurriedly asked, "Master Feng, that piece of paper?"

Feng Ziying said: "Fake, feint."

That means the Empress Dowager is fine.Dai Quan heaved a sigh of relief, and frowned again: "Master Feng, Mr. Jia, the big inner guards don't have western firearms in their hands."

Feng Ziying said: "Someone must help them."

Jia Cong squeezed his right hand with his left hand and said, "Let's figure it out, there must be a loophole. How many guards are there—it seems that there are seven black-clothed assassins?" Dai Quan nodded. "There are more than seven Ouchi guards, um, I don't want to do it anymore. But it's not easy to get out of this line of work. It can't be said that there is some reason in the hands of the court, or many enemies have been formed in the early years. If you want to go clean, The past must be cleared. Therefore, they pretended to be assassins, and killed their fellow guards with Western muskets and guns they did not know where they got. They also got some corpses from other places to make up the number, and piled up the corpses of the colleagues and the numbered bodies and burned them. They feigned death and escaped." Jia Cong began to snap his fingers, "The first doubt. Where did the gun come from? Eunuch Dai, is there a gun in the palace?"

Dai Quan said decisively, "No."

"Is there a guy from the Firearms Battalion of the Royal Forest Army in the early years?"

Dai Quan still said: "No."

"This is rather strange." Jia Cong said, resting his cheeks, "Brother Feng and the others didn't find the bullet casings. It is impossible for a gunfight to have this. I thought it was an imitation fake gun."

Dai Quan said: "All of the masters are excellent in martial arts. If it weren't for fire and guns, how could ordinary people kill them so quickly?"

Jia Cong smirked and said, "Naturally, ordinary people can't do it, but our companions can. There are a group of highly skilled assassins standing opposite, and the guards are all staring at the assassins. How can they pay attention to the companions behind them?"

Feng Ziying suddenly remembered: "We found some firecrackers this morning."

"Then it's more likely to be a fake fire gun." Jia Cong said, "The assassins are divided into two groups, and one group pretends to be men in black to lure other guards out. There are fake fire guns hidden in their arms, which may actually be sleeve arrows. A group of people who did not join the group started to kill the companions who did not join the group; and then assigned a firecracker. All the court ladies and eunuchs onlookers were silenced, and those who did not see were not killed, but their eyes were blindfolded. The empress dowager was not killed, only I'm afraid it's because the main minister has some kind of friendship over the years."

Feng Ziying thought: "It makes sense. If it weren't for that, those gun battle clothes would be weird."

Jia Cong said: "It may also be fire. They have guns, but there are only a few, one or two." He clapped his hands, "The second doubt is how to get the corpses for the number."

Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and said: "This is easy. There are many eunuchs in the palace, and the number of heads is not clear. I am afraid that no one knows how many people are killed from a secluded place."

"That's fine. I just don't know where the assassin went." Jia Cong said, "Did he hide in the palace and wait for a chance to escape, or did he sneak away already."

There are secret ways in the palace, others don't know, but Dai Quan knows.Immediately remembered that the boy who guarded the house at the entrance of the tunnel was killed a few days ago.If it is a traitor, how can you not know?Can't help but sigh.

Jia Cong said again: "There is another strange thing: Xue Tao's paper. It's not that there are no papers in the palace, but the purpose of using Xue Tao's papers from outside the palace is to let us mistake them for people from outside?"

Feng Ziying said: "Zhao Cheng said that last month someone sent a sealed letter to Wucheng Bingmasi with Xue Taojian, asking Yinfengju to sell the stolen goods."

Dai Quan's eyes jumped!Yinfengju has always been hidden in the market, and no one knows where it is, which is the beginning of the series of chaos that followed.Secretly connecting all the things together in the belly, he sighed dejectedly: "There is no doubt that they are colluding with the outside world."

Jia Cong looked at him twice, opened his mouth and closed it again.After a while, he held his chin and said: "There must be a reason for a well-behaved inner guard to pick someone up. Who will pry them away? Who will plan to pry the empress dowager? You have to pry them if you want to pry them." .And clean up the past. Does this mean you want to be an official?"

Dai Quan and Feng Ziying's hearts thumped at the same time: Except for the surnamed Situ, who would plan to pry the empress dowager?Dai Quan knew that the female guard Liu Mingqiu had come to the capital to pull people, it was her own plan, the Rongguo Mansion didn't know about it at the time.And she has been here once.Besides, Jia Cong has been urging people to go abroad to fight for territory, and it is not worth cleaning up the past for those who go abroad.Then put down their home.

Jia Cong added: "I heard that guards are very loyal and not easy to be tempted." Feng Ziying nodded in agreement, but said nothing - Situ Pan pried away those who were not very loyal, and now all are left Very faithful.Jia Cong thought for a while, "Then what are they using to seduce these people? Gold? Beauty? There is no shortage in the palace."

Dai Quan let out an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and Feng Ziying immediately understood.Most of the empress dowagers are eunuchs.When eunuchs enter the palace, they have to purify their bodies, and the things that are removed cannot be taken away until they leave the palace.Feng Ziying immediately said: "I have something to investigate! Cong Er, you can play for a while."

Dai Quan hurriedly said, "I'll go with your lord. Your lord may not find it."

Jia Cong was stunned: "Ah? Hey Brother Feng! You can't leave me alone in the palace... There are women like wolves and tigers everywhere."

Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Who can touch you? If there is someone who likes it, just take it away." After saying this, he winked at Dai Quan, and the two of them led some people away—really throwing Jia Cong away. down.

Jia Cong turned around three times in a daze, and asked Feng Ziying's two subordinates: "Is there anything interesting in the palace? Can you go and see the legendary imperial garden?"

The two of them guessed what Feng and Dai were doing.Besides, how can this palace compare to what it was back then?He said with a smile, "Master Jia wants to visit the Imperial Garden, and the villain will lead you there."

Jia Cong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "You two elder brothers, you are ten years older than me, don't shout so respectfully, my younger brother is so awkward."

The two of them smiled and said, "I know that Mr. Jia is from Shuangli." They both called him Brother Jia and led him to the imperial garden.

When he arrived at the place, Jia Cong was a little disappointed.I didn't think it was that pretty!Compared with the remains of the Old Summer Palace that I visited in my previous life, it was too small and dull, even worse than the garden in King Yan's mansion, let alone King Wu's.It's just that the flowers and trees in this imperial garden are really well trimmed, straight and sparse, well interspersed, which is very interesting.Jia Cong secretly sighed in his heart: How many talents are occupied in the palace!From the imperial dining room to the gardener who prunes the flowers and trees, they are all the top figures in the country.He hadn't been to the palace earlier, he only thought of the palace walls to lock up the spring, and it was a pity that the palace was full of young women; now he saw it with his own eyes and realized that there was an even more pity.He secretly thought about whether he could ask Situ Pan to leave the gardener in charge of the imperial garden.

Suddenly, I heard a burst of piano sound coming from nowhere, blowing it with the wind, it seemed like fairy music.Jia Cong bared his teeth: Could it be another love affair?Ms. Chen Ruijin, I am very firm~~ I turned my head and looked where the voice came from—oh, it was not Aventure.male.
