When Wang Xueshan pushed the door in, Han Bin was wrapping his arm crossbow in lacquered cloth and stuffing it under the bed......

"It's really you," Wang Xueshan pointed at Han Bin, his eyes were about to pop out with anger, and he said hatefully, "You are so bold." ”

"Lord Wang, is it up to you to choose this situation?" Han Bin was not afraid, put the lacquered crossbow on the table next to him, stood up and looked at Wang Xueshan, but he was not panicked, and said unhurriedly, "If there is chaos here, we will have a chance to escape from the nest, could it be that Lord Wang really wants to go back to Jiangning?" ”

After escaping from Jiangning, Wang Tian has been sick in bed; Wang Xueshan won the trust of Emperor Yongxing because of his whistleblowing, and after escaping from Jiangning, he was able to share the helm with Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan, Zuo Chengmu and others, and then learned that Liu Zhi would enter the nest today to discuss the matter of welcoming the emperor's return to the east.

Yu Xinyuan and the king of Chu returned and brought back Huaixi's clear attitude, and Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian, Zuo Chengmu and others were also forced by the situation to agree to let Liu Zhi come to the nest to negotiate. Although Wang Xueshan was full of opposition, he also knew that the power was weak, and it was difficult to change the overall situation decided by Zhang Yan, Zuo Chengmu, Cheng Yuqian and others, so he could only remain silent - although Wang Xueshan did not want Liu Zhizhi to enter the nest, he also did not think of sending someone to assassinate him.

Although Wang Xueshan played a pivotal role in Xie Chaozhong's leadership of the troops and the emperor's abandonment of Jiangning and his escape to the west, and returned to Jiangning, it was difficult to escape the liquidation, but in fact, Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian, Wang Tian, Yu Xinyuan and others had deep grievances with Huaidong, and only Zuo Chengmu was transferred from Jinghu and had no deep relationship with Huaidong.

Wang Xueshan thought to himself: If Huaidong wants to smoothly welcome the emperor back to Jiangning and control him as a puppet, it is impossible to completely liquidate Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian, Wang Tian, and Yu Xinyuan, so it is impossible to be ruthless to him alone, as long as he keeps a low profile after returning to Jiangning, he may not be able to get through the tricks, but he has never thought of stabbing Liu Zhi to death and muddying the water.

Wang Xueshan thought about escaping from the nest, but his Wang family fled to the nest, in addition to the entourage and servants, there were more than 50 relatives and wives and concubines, and a large group of women and children, the old and weak, how did they flee from the nest to Jiangzhou to join the luxury family?

Wang Xueshan thought about returning to Jiangning first, whether he was liquidated or degraded to another place as an official, or cut his post for the people, the chances of the family fleeing to Jiangzhou were always much greater than at this time, but he definitely did not have the intention of stabbing Liu Zhi to death and muddy the waters.

muddy the waters, it is beneficial to the luxury family, but it is absolutely not beneficial to his royal family; Wang Xueshan didn't have the heart to risk his own life.

Wang Xueshan was in the house, and Yu Xinyuan sent someone to know that Liu Zhi had entered the city to be assassinated, and subconsciously thought that it was Han Bin's hand, and rushed over to take a look, and it was really so; Thousands of calculations, but they didn't count that Han Bin was uncontrollable and advocated to assassinate Liu Zhi without authorization.

Ren Wang Xueshan has also experienced a lot of winds and waves in his life, but at this time, he was afraid and angry to the extreme, his body trembled with anger, and he didn't know how to deal with the current crisis.

Wang Chao saw his father coming straight to Liu Zhi, and he also realized that something was wrong, he and Chen Ruyi pushed the door in, and watched his father and Han Bin stare at each other, and the lacquered crossbow showed a corner, resting on the corner table, and the matter was clear.

Wang Chao was also extremely angry, and he pulled out his saber and was about to cut Han Bin: "You dog slave, you really want to kill our Wang family!" ”

Without waiting for Wang Chao to completely pull out the saber, Han Bin stepped forward and grabbed Wang Chao's wrist, smiled fiercely, and said, "I, a dog minion, don't want Wang Gongzi to kill it himself," he looked sideways at Wang Xueshan and said with a smile, "Lord Wang has been staying here, aren't you afraid that others will be suspicious?" ”

Wang Chao is just a scholar, with no power to restrain the chicken, and the saber is pretending to be brave for himself in troubled times. Wang Chao's wrist was grabbed by Han Bin, just like clamping the tongs, and he couldn't struggle at all - but it reminded Han Bin that Wang Xueshan came back to his senses, Han Bin stabbed Liu and fled back, and there was no one else's attention, and now there are no less than 100,000 people in the nest city, as long as he doesn't mess up, even if others are suspicious of him, how can they find any real evidence?

If Liu Zhiruo really stabbed him to death, Huaidong moved to anger, and set up King Lu as the emperor in Jiangning, there will be chaos on the side of the nest, and there will be more opportunities to escape and go to Jiangzhou - thinking of this, Wang Xueshan took a breath, tried to calm himself down, and said to Han Bin in a calm voice: "You are loyal to the luxury family's thoughts, I can understand, but if you want to really muddy this pool of water to benefit the luxury family, you must take advantage of the darkness and immediately escape from the city, and this crossbow will be destroyed immediately, so that no one can recognize you......"

There are only a few people who know that Liu Zhi has entered the city today, and no one can escape the suspicion of having a deep gap with Huaidong - if Liu Zhi is assassinated and dies, Zuo Chengmu and they must avoid making enemies with Huaidong, and they must give Huaidong and the Queen Mother a decent explanation, so as to calm the anger over there and let the negotiations continue.

At that time, in order to prove his innocence, maybe he will really open the door and ask others to come in and search, and the murder weapon of Han Bin and the assassination must not be exposed.

"It's come to this point, let's find a way to get through the difficulties in front of us first." Chen Ruyi put his arm around Wang Chao and comforted him softly.

"Smack!" Wang Chao was born from the side of his guts, slapped Chen Ruyi's face, vented his anger against Han Bin on Chen Ruyi's body, and slapped her to the side.

Wang Xueshan glanced at Chen Ruyi, knowing that this woman couldn't stay, but if she wanted to go to Jiangzhou, this woman couldn't be killed, and now she still had to hurry up and take Han Binyu out of the city, and stopped Wang Chao in a calm voice, not letting him chase after the concubine Chen Ruyi, and said: "Go and see if Liu Zhi is okay for your father, you stay in the house, don't panic - if Liu Zhi really dies, it will not be without benefits." ”

Wang Xueshan cleaned up a little, and was about to go out to see whether Liu Zhi was alive or dead and then deal with it, as soon as he arrived at the weeping flower hall, he heard chickens and dogs jumping outside the courtyard gate, and when he opened the courtyard door, he saw Zuo Chengmu, Zhang Yan, and Cheng Yuqian rushing to this side surrounded by a large group of guards.

Wang Xueshan's heart jumped, his face turned pale and colorless in an instant, his body stiffened there, unable to move for a long time, and only when Zuo Chengmu and they approached did he force himself to calmly ask: "Zuo Xiang, Cheng Xiang, Master Zhang, have you ever caught an assassin?" ”

Wang Xueshan's discovery fell in the eyes of Zuo Chengmu, which further aggravated their suspicion of Wang Xueshan.

Zhang Yan grabbed the saber at his waist with his hand, said to Wang Xueshan's arm, "Lord Wang, I'm sorry, someone saw the assassin fleeing into your house!" ”

Wang Xueshan didn't know that Zhang Yan was cheating him, but when Han Bin fled back, he couldn't get rid of the pursuers, and his body instantly became weak, and when his butt sat on the cold ground, he came to his senses again: Impossible, Han Bin didn't get rid of the pursuers, and the pursuers should have broken in and arrested people a moment earlier, how could they wait until Zhang Yan, Zuo Chengmu, and Cheng Yuqian led the troops together? But he woke up too late.

Zhang Yan, Cheng Yuqian, and Zuo Chengmu glanced at each other, and there was not much nonsense, and directly ordered the guards to surround Wang Xueshan's residence, and slammed the door to search for the assassin.

Zuo Chengmu, Zhang Yan, and Cheng Yu took down Wang Xueshan left and right, and stood in front of the house waiting for the results of the search.

Although nearly 100 guards fled to the nest together, when they saw that the guards of the Imperial Horse Prison and the guards of the imperial camp jointly broke into the door, they did not know the situation, and they did not dare to resist, and they disarmed and were captured......

Zuo Chengmu and they brought people too fast, first surrounded the hospital and then hit the door to search the house, Han Bin didn't have time to escape, listening to the movement outside, he hid in the firewood room in a hurry, and couldn't hide in the end.

Han Bin knew that he could not get through the trick and couldn't hide, so he was not willing to be captured, so he surrounded the firewood room with the guards of the Imperial Horse Prison, burst out with knives, and killed several people in a row. The archers rode up the courtyard wall and shot with a bow, Han Bin was hit by several arrows, and finally gave a dozen guards a hug, falling to the ground and unable to struggle.

The murderer and the crossbow were quickly found.

Zuo Chengmu, Zhang Yan, and Cheng Yuqian also acted decisively, and while sending people to inform Yu Xinyuan, Chu Wangyuan and Han Cheng, Wang Xueshan's father and son and their relatives were imprisoned on the spot, separated and interrogated separately.

Han Bin entered the royal courtyard as Chen Ruyi's cousin, and fled to the nest with the Wang family's west - this matter, the ordinary servants in the Wang family's house knew about it, and they would know it when they asked.

Chen Ruyi's fame in Jiangning, chasing Su Mei and Chen Qingqing in the early years, and giving Wang Xueshan's son Wang Chao into the house, Cheng Yuxue still feels regretful - the person who assassinated Liu Zhi in the palace was not Wang Xueshan's henchman, but Wang Xueshan's son's relatives who newly married a concubine.

Immediately arrested Chen Ruyi for interrogation, wanting to pry open his mouth to dig out the truth, but he didn't expect that in the end, Wang Xueshan's son Wang Chao was the most useless, and as soon as he was tortured, he opened his mouth and confessed everything.

**************

After Yu Xinyuan got the letter, he hurried here with Yuan Hancheng, the king of Chu.

At this time, it was just dark, and the guards of the Imperial Horse Prison surrounded Wang Xueshan's residence with fire.

Yu Xinyuan never expected that Wang Xueshan would send someone to assassinate him, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it: Wang Xueshan was worried that he would return to Jiangning to be liquidated, could it be that stabbing Liu Zhi to death would solve the problem?

Yu Xinyuan was worried, and his heart was extremely uneasy.

At that time, there were definite rumors that Chen Xiyan insisted on investigating the case of Hubu Qianzhuang, so he tied Wang Tian, Wang Xueshan and Yu Xinyuan together, and it was precisely because of this that it led to the split of the Wu Party and finally contributed to Xie Chaozhong's leading of the troops - at this time, Wang Xueshan assassinated Liu Zhi and arrested him, and Yu Xinyuan was worried that the Hubu Qianzhuang case would not be able to be covered.

After abandoning Jiangning and fleeing westward, Wang Tian was bedridden and no longer came out to participate in political affairs, and Wang Xueshan would inevitably have to pay the price for the assassination - if Zhang Yan, Zuo Chengmu, Cheng Yuqian and others dug up the Hubu Qianzhuang case, and then completely planted the responsibility for the defeat of Huizhou and the emperor's westward flight on him, Wang Xueshan, and Wang Tian, what should it be?

Yu Xinyuan's heart was cold, but the matter had come to this point, stretching out his head and shrinking his head was also a knife, and the military power of Juchao was in the hands of Zhang Yan and Cheng Yuqian, and it was his turn to struggle anymore, so he could only walk into Wang Xueshan's temporary house in Juchao.
