Volume 9 Chapter 22 An Assassination with No Way Back

Qin State, Zhangtai Palace.

Under Ying Zheng's strong announcement, the fast capture camp was successfully established.

After Gong Ming introduced the members of the fast camp, no one dared to raise opposing opinions, even if some people were unwilling, they didn't dare to stand up and stop it again. Yingxing had just been killed by Zhongli, and the blood of the Ying royal family had not dried yet, so how could others dare to refute it.

Even Changping Jun Mi Qi did not dare to raise any more objections, and the ironclad facts told him that even the stingy Mi Chen had to spit out something from the private treasury, and no one could stop the establishment of the fast hunting camp. Zhongli is very cold-blooded, but the Yi'an palace maid of the Yiling Palace is even more terrifying, and she actually played everyone except Yingzheng to the bottom of the sky, and the situation in Xianyang is becoming more and more frightening, and if you take a wrong step, your head will fall to the ground.

Gong Ming didn't continue, and didn't introduce too much about the deputy capture Yi'an. Those who should know know how to stand in line, and those who don't know mean that they are not qualified enough, and he will not tell you. Yi'an is a secret in itself, and the people are guarding the Ying royal family, and those secrets are related to the royal family, so it's better for outsiders not to ask more.

At this point, the court meeting had ended, and after announcing the withdrawal from the court, many ministers did not retreat. Because they knew that the next thing was the investigation of Yihuan Temple, and Mrs. Jun Toshiyo had already surrounded it, and no one else knew what was going on, so they always had to ask the reason for the incident.

Ying Zheng said: "The reason for the establishment of the fast hunting camp is mainly because of a major incident in Yihuanyuan, and King Guben's preliminary speculation is likely to hide a huge conspiracy. You can't help but ask, catch the fast camp, one god catches, five deputy catchers, why are there no people from the bell hall in it? Then let me tell you, because what happened in Yihuan Courtyard is likely to be planned with someone in the bell hall. ”

"Therefore, during the investigation of the fast camp, everyone in the bell hall must avoid suspicion and not participate, and they must wait for the people from the fast camp to investigate. In other words, Zhongli, the sword maid, must also fully cooperate with Gong Ming, and during this period, everyone in the Zhong Hall will be grounded at home. ”

"The Zhong Hall has an inner hall and an outer hall, and this king did not come back as soon as possible, that is, he controlled all the people of the Qin Clan's ranch in the outer hall. The zero feather beauty of the ranch will also fully cooperate with Gong Ming's investigation, I gave Gong Ming so much power, just to let him understand that in the process of investigating this matter, whoever dares to stop it, who dares to conceal it and not report it, has the right to act cheaply, I hope you ministers will understand this matter. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Gong Ming, let's start."

Gong Ming saluted, followed behind Yingzheng, strode out of Zhangtai Palace, and rushed towards Yihuan Courtyard. The ministers also followed, and they also wanted to know how Gong Ming was going to check.

No matter what happened in Yihuan Temple, as long as the people from the Zhong Hall participated, ordinary people really didn't dare to investigate. Take Wei Yu as an example, he is the highest commander of the court lieutenant, and he will not be afraid of anything if he investigates some violations of discipline. But to check the affairs in the palace, especially the things in the Zhong Palace, Huayang Palace, and North Palace, then he would rather dismiss the official than dare to investigate.

Most of the people in the court have a deep relationship with Zhong Dian, Li Si, Qi Qi, Qi Chen, Wang Qian, Meng Wu, Ying Cheng and countless other people, which one has not dealt with Zhong Li, Lin Ye, Li Ji and others. More than half of the people in the Zhong Hall are from the Mi clan, and there are too many powerful figures of all kinds, who dares to investigate? No matter what you find out, you will be in big trouble.

Now everyone finally understands Ying Zheng's hard work, the power of the fast camp is so great, just to tell Gong Ming, don't offend anyone, your power is so great that others dare not touch you. If anyone dares to trouble you, it will be against Yingzheng, and there will be a big trouble of bullying the king.

Looking at Ying Zheng and Gong Ming, who were walking in the front, Li Si in the back whispered to Wei Yu: "Gong Ming's status in the North Palace is too high, and he is also the criminal officer of the North Palace, except for Chenxi and Qianyi, he has the greatest power." ”

"It seems that this time, a lot of people will die, there are too many characters who have something to do with Zhong Dian, and the whole body will be moved, which one's ass is clean?"

Wei Yi smiled bitterly: "You and I can't participate, except for the people of the Mi clan in the Zhong Palace, there are the most Leng Yue people left." What's more, Brother Wang Heng is also a deputy arrester, don't look at our high position, if we really have to be in front of Liji and Wang Heng, we have to bow our heads and salute. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the people in the fast camp used to be the leaders of their own families, and they would be inferior when they met. Therefore, they saw very clearly that no matter how much power the fast hunting camp had, the two of them could not stop it, and they had to cooperate closely.

A mighty group of people soon came to Yihuan Courtyard.

Ying Zheng announced the matter on the spot, and then said directly: "Gong Ming, let's start investigating, how to investigate, how to investigate, who you need, who you need to assist, you can do it yourself, and no one else is allowed to interfere." This king only wants to know one result, whether Lin Sheng died or not, how did she die, you have to tell why. ”

Gong Ming nodded and said, "My subordinates obey orders." ”

At the same time, he said to the people around him: "When the camp was first established, many people would doubt the ability of this department, so I will show you a few hands today." ”

"Aged wine, keep a record; Wang Heng, Nei Shishi, Mi Xiao, and Yi An will do their best to supplement me. Brother Xingling, now I appoint you as the first catcher, follow my side, and the other deputy catchers will choose by themselves and register at the headquarters. ”

The six people, led by Gong Ming, walked to the door of Yihuan Courtyard, and did not push open the door at the first time, but discussed it with several people. The discussion was loud and audible, but the more I listened, the more people felt that they could speculate on so many things.

Qi Xiaoyan said: "After the Sword Conference, the little sister successfully broke through to the peak of the best realm, with my sense, there is no breath of a living person in it. Since the Yihuan Temple was returned to the Yiling Palace, although it has become a little deserted, it still does business in normal times. Mrs. Jun came here for a day and a night, no one went out inside, and it was likely that they were all dead, only the dead would not ignore the outside world. ”

Wang Hengyan said: "I have been to Yihuan Courtyard before, this is a place of entertainment, the most lively at night, and many dignitaries will come in and out during the day. We have to pay attention to one point, there are not many people who know that Lin Sheng is in Yihuan Courtyard. Lin Ye went to Luoyang, and the dumb kitchen and Qianqian were not by Lin Sheng's side, and there were very few people who could know about this. Lin Sheng was left alone, and even the king and the people we were present didn't know, so the person who planned this assassination plan must have been formulated by insiders, and it was probably in Xianyang City, or in the Qin Palace. We must disclose what should be revealed, and we should not say more about what should not be revealed, lest the other party sabotage it and mess up our investigation matters. ”

Nei Shi frowned and said: "There are too many people coming and going to Yihuan Courtyard, and there is too little information for us to analyze, the other party has grasped this opportunity really well, from the time the king left to the time he returned, it will only take a few days." The person who can make this kind of plan can only be done by the people around the king, because once the king is in the Qin Palace, Lin Sheng will definitely often give notices, and he will often receive letters from the king. ”

"If the king is in the Qin Palace, Mrs. Lin Ye will often contact Lin Sheng, with Madame's connections, it is impossible for Lin Sheng to have an accident under her nose. And that person grasped this very well, because Mrs. Lin Ye went to Luoyang, and the person who knew this whereabouts must also be someone that Mrs. Lin Ye was familiar with, that is, the person from Zhongdian. Yi'an, you are most familiar with the Qin Palace, who do you think that person is? ”

Yi An said directly: "There are too many, before there is no solid evidence, we can only discuss in private, and we can't speculate in front of outsiders." There are a lot of secrets in the palace, I will say what I can say, I can't say it, I can only tell you some secrets related to the case at the headquarters. ”

Gong Ming nodded and said, "Everyone must remember that in public, we should not blindly draw conclusions. No matter how much speculation we make, it is useless for us, and we need to have conclusive evidence before we can explain to the king. There are many talented people in the world, many of them can speculate about what will happen a long time later, and there are many people who are smarter than us, and we must not be smarter than each other. ”

"If you are not smarter, then you can only speak with facts. My senior sister once said that as long as what hasn't happened, it's just speculation, what has happened is the truth, no matter how much speculation you make, even if it is said to be out of the blue, it may be a trap deliberately set up by others to confuse people, and there is only one truth. ”

"And our task is to find out the only truth. But if we do not stand up to scrutiny, we can only speculate in private, and we cannot say it to anyone, so as not to make the person who hears it make a wrong judgment. ”

Yi An asked: "Brother Gong Ming is the most familiar with Yihuan Courtyard, do you think there are still living people in it?" ”

Gong Ming shook his head and sighed: "Although Yihuan Yuan was returned to the Yiling Palace, many of the people in it are from the North Palace, and only those whose strength has reached the realm of Dacheng can return to Nanshan." I know everyone in it very well, and I know best what strength and ability they have. I walked to the door, there was still no movement inside, and Beigong did not receive any news of people entering and leaving, it was likely that they were all dead, and there was no living person inside. ”

Yi'an also sighed, maybe Lin Sheng is dead, but only one person died in the Yiling Palace, but there are more than 100 people from the North Palace inside, if all of them are dead, it will be difficult for Gong Ming not to be sad. No matter how many people die in the palace, everyone will not mourn, after all, those people have made mistakes, were executed or died in court turmoil, and they will not remember more.

But the people in Beigong in Yihuan Courtyard are all people who have a deep relationship with Gong Ming, and they are all subordinates trained by Gong Ming himself. They didn't participate in any turmoil, nor did they provoke anyone, and those who were slightly at fault had already been taken away by Gong Ming. Their death definitely made Gong Ming uncomfortable, and without these people, it would take a long time for Xianyang's intelligence officers to reorganize.

Gong Ming touched the door, sensed it, and said: "The gate has not been opened, and the secret passage leading to the palace has been closed by me after I left, and no one can enter or exit from there." When the tooth brigade died, even Grandma Xia Ji could only enter through the main entrance, indicating that the stone door of the secret passage had never been opened, and the people who knew there were only a handful of people, and the other party definitely didn't know, and even if they knew, they didn't know how to open it. ”

"In other words, after the assassin entered, he didn't intend to come out alive at all, this was an assassination with no way out."

Wang Heng was very smart, and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, and then said: "To be able to be such a person, the identity is already very clear, and he must be a dead man." Only the dead will carry out such assassinations, and each dead soldier is marked with the mark of the organization, so it is much easier to check. ”

Yi An retorted: "It doesn't have to be a dead soldier, for example, the people of my Yiling Palace, if the king asks us to take on such a mortal task, everyone in the family will do it." So no matter who the assassin is, but he must be a loyal person, in order to succeed in the assassination, after killing the target, calmly arrange a fake scene to blur us, and then commit suicide, I think this is the most likely, and it has also gone through all the scrutiny. ”

Several people nodded at the same time, and the people behind them also nodded their heads when they listened, and at this time everyone understood that what they were pursuing was the only truth. They will only investigate what they can do, and they will not believe anything else.
