As soon as he left the palace, a group of people behind hurriedly followed, and the person who came was Zheng Yi of the Internal Security Division, Zheng Yi said in a deep voice: "The emperor has a decree, and the Internal Security Department will assist in investigating this case!" ”

Unexpectedly, even the Internal Security Department was alarmed, and Tang Ning welcomed it very much, because with the help of the Internal Security Division, the investigation was naturally more confident.

Jing Zhaoyin also thinks so, only the commander of the Jinyi Guard is not interested in the Internal Security Division, because the Internal Security Division is becoming more and more powerful and has threatened the Jinyi Guard.

However, since it was the emperor's will, no one had anything to say. The group silently went straight to the place where the body was, and went to investigate the case.

The Criminal Department arrested quickly, Jing Zhaoyin arrested quickly, the thousands of households of Jinyi Wei, and the stall head of the Internal Security Division, all gathered together.

"These three eight-rank assassins are not from our Great Zhou, but from Donghai City! Jinyi Wei has been recorded, and it is confirmed that it is correct. The commander of the Jinyi Guard finally made a decision.

Jing Zhaoyin frowned and said, "Sword Pavilion? That's a problem! ”

The commander of the Jinyi guard shook his head and said: "It doesn't necessarily involve the Sword Pavilion, this eight-grade strong man is named Cheng Shu, he has been famous for a long time, he is an outcast of the Sword Pavilion, and I heard that he has some secret contacts with Nanchu." The other two are also famous, although they are in Donghai City, they are not from the Sword Pavilion. ”

"But maybe it's to hide it. Even if the Sword Pavilion came to our Great Zhou to assassinate General Tang, it would be impossible to use the people of the Sword Pavilion. ”

Zheng Yi said in a deep voice: "What the huge man said makes sense, but why did the Sword Pavilion assassinate General Tang?" It is not excluded that someone in Da Zhou bought murder! ”

Jing Zhaoyin said in a deep voice: "What enemy does General Tang have?" Or who have you offended? ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said: "Three Eight Rank flagrantly assassinated in the capital, I really can't imagine that there will be such a large-scale enemy?" I've only been in Beijing for a year, and I've been living in a small town before, and I don't have such a life-and-death feud. ”

Pang Yu frowned and said: "I heard that General Tang has reformed the method of drilling, and the effect is remarkable, and the emperor greatly appreciates it, could it be that because of this, it will lead to the Sword Pavilion or Nan Chu to brazenly assassinate?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin nodded and said, "It's not impossible to have this possibility!" ”

Zheng Yi was still frowning and pondering, and Pang Yu proposed: "Let's go out of the city to investigate together!" ”

So the group went out of the city to the woods where Tangning was attacked, although the scene had been cleaned, but they still saw the tragedy of the battle, and the smell of blood lasted for a long time.

The group followed the clues and began to investigate, and the Criminal Department and Jinyi Wei had experts in tracking, and they could see that these assassins had been in ambush in this forest for a long time, and they were very sure of Tang Ning's whereabouts.

After listening to the analysis, Tang Ning frowned and muttered: "This trip was not a temporary idea, but was determined on the day of the Qianqiu Festival, and only Xiaoxiao, Rong Xuan and Lin Lan knew at that time, but it was not a secret that they had been going for so many days, and it seemed that they were ready to go out of the city to enjoy the snow, so it seemed that it was not difficult to inquire." ”

A snowfall hid a lot of tracks, and the search came to an abrupt end after a short time. Without getting any clues, Tang Ning frowned and said, "Those three eight pins are from Donghai City, so the rest don't know where they come from?" ”

Pang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei, said with a smile: "General Tang has come to the point, since everyone has been awarded, our Jinyiwei will definitely be able to find out, and it will be clear when the time comes." ”

Without too many clues, the group returned to the city, and the Yamen of the Criminal Department immediately wrote to find out the origin of these assassins.

The bodies of the fallen soldiers have been transported back to the Nanshan camp, and the commanders personally brought five hundred carefully selected soldiers to the Tangning Mansion to protect the mansion from the airtight.

Downing was assassinated, and there were not a few people who came to visit, and it didn't stop until very late. Tang Ning was still puzzled while lying on the bed, and even Qingbo frowned and was very puzzled.

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was also very puzzled, Zheng Yi respectfully served aside, and the emperor asked quietly: "Are you sure it's not the two of them?" ”

Zheng Yi said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I am sure that it was not done by the two highnesses." The two Highnesses did not know the inside story. ”

The emperor sighed: "I don't think it's them, even if they know the inside story, it is impossible for them to kill each other!" This made me even more puzzled, who else could Tang Ning offend? ”

This assassination is indeed a bit inexplicable, not only Tang Ning is puzzled, but Qingbo and even the emperor are a little puzzled, who is assassinating Tang Ning? Why assassinate Downing? There's no reason for that, right?

The next day, Jin Yiwei got a clue that the group that assassinated Tang Ning was a caravan from Donghai City.

The matter has come to this point, and the commander of Jinyi Wei can only go to the Qianqing Palace to resume his life. After hearing this, the emperor frowned and said, "All the assassins are from Donghai City? ”

Pang Yu said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, it's true. ”

The emperor frowned and said, "The Sword Pavilion has always been neutral, how can it be possible to send someone to the capital to assassinate the ministers of our court?" ”

Pang Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is another reason for this, it may also be the work of Nan Chu, General Tang's recent fame may have aroused the vigilance of Nan Chu. ”

The emperor said in a deep voice: "I will personally write to the Sword Pavilion Master, and Jinyiwei will continue to investigate, and we must find out who instigated it, and why did I assassinate Tang Ning, I want a result, do you understand?" ”

Pang Yu was very surprised when he heard it, if he wanted to continue the investigation, he would use the spies of Donghai City and Nanchu, the price would not be small, but he didn't expect the emperor to insist on investigating.

Pang Yu immediately kowtowed and said: "If you obey the order, you will definitely find out!" ”

Not long after Pang Yu withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, Zheng Yi came in a hurry. The emperor was closing his eyes and recuperating, and when he heard Zheng Yi's movements, he asked lightly, "How?" How did the Assassins learn of Downing's whereabouts? ”

Zheng Yi said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, there are no clues for the time being, the princess's mansion, Zhenyuan's general's mansion, Rong's mansion, and Tang's general's mansion have all been investigated, and there is no abnormality." ”

The emperor said lightly: "What about the girl named Qiuling?" ”

Zheng Yi said respectfully: "The old slave also suspects that it is her, but according to General Tang's recollection, he did not mention the matter of enjoying the snow in the West Mountain in front of her. ”

"After all, the spies of the Internal Security Division still can't compare with Jinyiwei, but the old slave thinks Jinyiwei is a little ......"

Zheng Yi was a little speechless and stopped, and the emperor had already said lightly: "The thunder is heavy and the rain is small!" ”

This is exactly what Zheng Yi wanted to say, and he said respectfully: "Maybe it's just the illusion of the old slave." ”

The emperor said lightly: "Pang Yu is too eager to close the case, it's time to sort out Jinyiwei!" ”

The head of the stall of the Internal Security Division was respectfully standing beside Tang Ning and reporting, which was left to him by Zheng Yi and could be easily contacted.

At this time, the stall leader was reporting the progress of the case to Tang Ning, and Tang Ning's face became a little disappointed when he listened, but he didn't expect it to be related to Donghai City.

Not to mention what the reason for assassinating him was, if it was really related to Donghai City, how could he avenge those forty-eight lives?
