The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 368 The City Gate Change
However, the crown prince held another court meeting today. As for the reason, it is naturally that the foreshadowing that Changsun Ji had planted before had an effect. Although the power in the court is weak, it does not mean that the power of the people is also weak.

For two whole days, under the help of people with good intentions, the people in the capital knew that Guo Dingxin assassinated Bo and Wei Xuan because they abused their power. Guo Dingxin lost his future and only sought a way out for his colleagues. A brainless person like Xing Bo will be the chief general.

The whole capital city was full of scolding for this, Xing Bo was scolded to the point where he was scolded, even Xing Gong was also scolded a lot.

In fact, regarding Xing Gong still daring to push Xing Bo to the main general, Changsun Ji also had a guess in his heart. At this time, the people are the most easily bewitched. Anyway, Wei Xuan is dead, and it will be no problem to push the crime on him. When it's over, no one will care about it. At that time, it will be a big deal to give Wei Xiang some compensation.

However, he was slow to attack, Changsun Ji had already prepared, and as soon as the people in Mafu spread the news, it would not be so easy for Xinggong to wash away his son's stigma at this time.

The public outrage was overwhelming, and as the prince who wanted to focus on stability now, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by. Originally, Changsun Ji thought about waiting for the matter to ferment in a few days, and then went to the palace to discuss the matter with the prince.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince was so decisive. He held another court meeting early this morning and demoted Xing Bo to a deputy envoy. The official who was originally sent as a deputy envoy directly became an envoy.Although he didn't reap the benefits of these veterans under his command, Changsun Ji didn't care, as long as he pulled Xing Gong off his horse, it would be fine.

These veterans under my command are holding soldiers and horses in their hands. Even if others want to bully them, they dare not bully them. After all, there is Guo Dingxin's example there.

Changsun Ji nodded after listening to Cheng Ping's report, and said, "You did a good job in this matter, and now Xing Bo has gained a bad reputation, and he can't clean it up even if he wants to,"

Speaking of this, Changsun Ji paused slightly, as if thinking of something, asked: "There is still no news from Guo Dingxin?"

"No, although Tongshan has taken back the manpower, it is still paying attention to this matter all the time. Brother Guo still has nothing to do, and he doesn't know where he is hiding, but it is good news for us that there is no news at this time. " Cheng Ping explained.

Changsun Ji nodded and was about to speak when Wang Gang's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, Mr. Guo please see me."

"Let Mr. come in." Changsun Ji replied casually.

With the sound of the door, Guo Yu walked in from the door and bowed his hands to Changsun Ji.

Changsun Ji nodded, and then gave him a hand, signaling that he should be excused.

Guo Yu straightened up and said softly to Changsun Ji: "My lord, the matter of Guo Dingxin is over, but the people sent by Yushifu are still investigating the disappearance of the messenger from Yanzhou. For them, lord Wan Don't let your guard down."

Changsun Ji nodded, now Xinggong should hate him impatiently, the person who can be sent by him to investigate this matter should have real skills, otherwise Xinggong would not have pushed him out.

"Who is the Xinggong sending to investigate now?"

"Ma Ji, does my lord know this person?" Guo Yu replied out of words.

Changsun Ji frowned, thought for a while, and then quickly opened his eyebrows.Obviously has recalled who this person is.

In fact, Changsun Ji is quite familiar with this person. At that time, his sworn brother Xing Tai was only thinking of leaving the capital to venture out, and it was this horse shop called Ma Ji who brought Xing Tai back.

Although this Maji was quite famous in the capital, Changsun Ji really hadn't paid attention to him before. If he hadn't visited Xingtai later and Xingtai had mentioned this person to him, otherwise he really didn't know this person.

"I've met Ma Ji before. He is upright and prudent. He is a capable person. Although I have cleaned up the traces of his actions before, I am not sure if the other party will find him from other places. What are some clues?" Seeing that Changsun Ji didn't speak, Guo Yu continued.

Changsun Ji's brows that had just been stretched were frowned again. He thought for a while, and then said softly: "I know this person's ability, and it would be a troublesome thing for him to find out any traces. This person How about martial arts? If possible, send someone directly to solve it, so as to avoid future troubles."

Guo Yu took a step forward, cupped his hands slightly to Changsun Ji and said, "My lord, that Ma Ji has been a head arrester in the capital for so many years, in addition to his strong case handling ability, his martial arts are also very superb."

"However, I have a strategy. Without a single soldier, I can make the horse traces undiscovered. Maybe it is possible to make the horse traces belong to the lord."

Changsun Ji was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, do you know what is the plan?"

…………

In the afternoon, the sun is warm.

At the gate of the capital city, Ma Ji was walking with his head down, frowning. He had just returned from inquiring about the news from the soldiers guarding the city.

However, each of these soldiers only knew how to dawdle, and didn't care whether any suspicious people entered or left the capital. He didn't find out any news, which was equivalent to a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Ma Ji couldn't help but feel a little angry. He has been handling cases for many years, and he has done his best in everything. Although the salary issued by the court is not very large, he wants to make himself worthy of the salary, so he usually Strictly demanding himself, even the soldiers who steal, rape and play tricks are not used to it at all.

Thinking, after this matter is done, I must tell this matter to Yushitai, let them report this matter, and sweep out all these moths who only know that they have the imperial salary.

Just as he was thinking about being distracted, he suddenly heard urgent shouts from around, and the sound of horseshoes coming from right in front of him. Ma Ji raised his head and saw a big black-haired horse rushing towards him, and there was a scholar sitting on it right away. Pale and panicked, he waved his hand at himself, telling him to avoid it.

Ma Ji's face changed. At this time, the black horse was very close to him, and he had no time to avoid it. However, he had been working and handling cases for so long, and he had experienced a lot of life and death. The fear at the city gate appeared in his mind, but he didn't panic.

It was too late, but it was fast. At this moment, the black horse had already rushed towards him, and the horse trail took a step forward, and then pulled out a long knife from his waist at a very fast speed, and turned slightly to his side. He turned sideways, leaned forward and backward, the long knife in his hand was out of its sheath.
