Criminal investigation in ancient times

Zhang Rui: "General Zhenbei will definitely not sit idly by this time. There is evidence that the second prince colluded with the Huns. It is up to him whether to send troops or not. If he continues to let it go, the century-old foundation of Da Zhou will be destroyed by the second prince." hands."

He Zixiang took a sip of the teacup and said, "If we can escape Shengtian, I promise you, I will help you break into the capital, drive Zhou Yongzheng from the throne, and put your twelve princes on the throne?"

Zhang Rui smiled and said: "Forget it, you just need to push the second prince down. Whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with me, but the twelfth prince cannot succeed. He is not in good health and cannot bear this hardship."

He Zixiang winked and said: "I heard about you and the prince in the capital, cough, you two..."

Zhang Rui turned to look at him and said, "We are in love with each other, what's wrong?"

He Zixiang blushed embarrassingly and stammered: "No...nothing...I...cough...Actually, I like Xiaomin too, but I don't know if he likes me."

Zhang Ruidao: "Xiaomin probably likes you."

He Zixiang stared and said, "How do you know?"

Zhang Rui: "When I wrote to him in Tongzhou, what he wrote was all about you. I wonder when you guys are so familiar."

He Zixiang's eyes sparkled like Lin Xiaomin's and said: "Cousin, what did he say in the letter?"

Zhang Rui said in his heart: What the hell, I am my cousin, please do something to see how cowardly you are. "Cough, I forgot." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, leaned on the carriage and thought of Zhou Yin, wondering if he was okay in Beijing now.

******

Zhou Yin closed his clothes, his face was a little pale, and said: "I feel much better these days than before."

He Xiangru said: "My lord has cultivated quietly these days, and his body will naturally be better than before. Let go of your thoughts, and maybe there is still room for turning around."

Zhou Yin nodded and said: "I heard that the second son of the Lin family...is dead?"

He Xiangru's face froze, he put the silver needle back into the medicine box and sat on the stool, saying: "Where is that kid, that kid was hidden by He Ming."

Zhou Yin thought so, and said with a smile: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, Mr. He, don't care too much."

He Xiangru said: "I really want to control him, but he is so old and thinks more than me. If I force him to control him, I'm afraid he will get bored, and they can only go."

Zhou Yin got up and went to the table, picked up the teapot and filled the cup: "Is there any news outside these few days?"

He Xiangru said: "There is nothing going on in the court, except for a few ministers who are discussing the matter of choosing a concubine for the emperor, and there is also a faint rumor that the boy from the He family seems to have been robbed on the way."

Zhou Yin shook his hand, nodded slightly and took up the tea ceremony: "I'm old, I'm sorry."

He Xiangru backed out with the medicine box in hand.

Zhou Yin took out the whistle from his waist, and three hidden guards came in after a while.

"Is there any news about him?"

Kang Qidao: "Zhang Rui went to Jiangzhou to join Zhan Qing, and then took Zhan Qing and the other three secret guards to the northwest."

Zhou Yin sighed and looked outside in a daze, but he guessed it... her heart, which had been calm for a long time, started beating again, and the corners of her eyes felt a little hot.

"I just heard that He Zixiang was intercepted. Who did it?"

Kang Qi: "Yes...the emperor suddenly ordered the capital of Chongzhou to intercept them. As a result, He Zixiang led his troops to break through and went straight to the northwest."

Zhou Yin nodded and said, "Okay, keep asking. If my guess is right, Zhang Rui might be with them." Kang Qi clasped his fists and retreated.

Palace

In the past few days, everything in Zhou Yongzheng’s heart is not going his way. Let’s not say that the eldest prince has not been found. I don’t know when rumors began to spread in various places, saying that today’s son colluded with the Huns, and now He Zixiang was also sent back to the mountain...Zhou Yongzheng said that The pen and ink fell on the table.

The little eunuchs shrank their heads like quails and did not dare to breathe, for fear that the emperor would accidentally lose their heads due to anger.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is asking to see you."

As soon as Zhou Yongzheng heard it, he said, "Hurry up! You guys, hurry up and clean up this place! Useless things, be careful that I want your heads!"

After a while, the third prince walked to the door and said with a smile, "Why is your majesty in such a hurry."

Zhou Yongzheng hurried over and said, "Uncle Three Emperors."

The third prince nodded and said: "You have become the emperor, why are you still so frizzy?"

Zhou Yongzheng dragged the third prince into the study and said, "Third emperor uncle, let that He family boy run away."

The third prince sat down and said: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have sent troops to intercept him."

Zhou Yongzheng said: "Why, I have long wanted to take over the military power in the northwest. If General Zhenbei hadn't broken the siege of Tongzhou this time, how could I have let He Zixiang go back?"

The third prince said: "That's right, since you let him go back, and now you want to intercept him back, I'm afraid it will anger General Zhenbei, although he won't bring troops to threaten you, but next time the Xiongnu sieges, he will be invited to send troops." It will be difficult."

Zhou Yongzheng sneered and said: "Uncle Sanhuang, who said that I just tied the He family kid back and it's over. I asked He Guang, an old fox, to exchange his military power for his son. Once there is the Zhenbei Army, I am still afraid of offending him." He didn't."

The third prince took a sip of tea and said from the bottom of his heart: "Young children don't know the severity."

Zhou Yongzheng said: "Uncle Three Emperors, what should we do now?"

The Third Prince murmured: "Don't touch He Zixiang for the time being, the Northwest Army's former emperors are not easy to take down, and your succession to the throne is not stable, so it's really not a good time to do it now."

Zhou Yongzheng nodded: "What the third uncle said is true."

The third prince put down his teacup and got up and said: "Today I came to see you, now it's time to choose a concubine for succession."

Zhou Yongzheng: "But there are so many daughters of ministers in the court."

The third prince paused in his footsteps: "Master Qingjiang of Dali Temple has a daughter who is still waiting in her boudoir. She is virtuous and virtuous. It is not an exaggeration to choose her as a side concubine."

Zhou Yongzheng said: "Listen to Uncle Three Emperors."

The third prince smiled and nodded and retreated from the imperial study.

Zhou Yongzheng looked at his back and became silent.

No one could have imagined that the second prince, who was ignored by everyone and was not outstanding in appearance, would ascend to the throne of God in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yongzheng has lived under the light of his brother since he was born. Although he is a compatriot from the same mother, the relationship between the two is not good.The eldest prince has never looked directly at this younger brother, because he knows that he will inherit the throne in the future.

But Zhou Yongzheng was different. Since he was a child, he had hoped that the eldest prince would treat him like an ordinary elder brother, but the Tian family had no father and son and no siblings. As Zhou Yongzheng grew up, the relationship between the two became worse and worse.

It wasn't until the emperor once praised Zhou Yongzheng's intelligence in front of the two that the eldest prince took this younger brother seriously.Beginning to regard him as a contender for the throne, the relationship between the two is getting worse.Relying on his many years of court relations, the eldest prince used his power to suppress the second prince everywhere, so that he could not stand out.

Zhou Yongzheng dared not to speak out, gradually eroding the last bit of his brotherhood towards the First Prince. He wanted to ascend to that position, to sit on that throne, and to watch the people of the world surrender at his feet!

Gradually, he also began to woo courtiers secretly, but those with real power didn't think highly of him, only a few unknown people took refuge in his hands, and finally one day the third prince suddenly appeared, looked at him and said, "Do you want to be emperor? "

Zhou Yongzheng nodded heavily without thinking, the third prince slowly smiled and said: "Then I will help the second prince."

Afterwards, he got involved with the Huns, murdered these courtiers and blamed the eldest prince, paving the way for himself. Slowly, his wings became more and more prosperous, and he was no longer satisfied with the position of prince, so he spent a lot of money to buy off those Taoist priests. Riley added something indecent.

The third prince also helped him send the eldest prince to Dali Temple as he said, and finally he ascended the throne of God!

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." The little eunuch bowed and stood aside and said.

Zhou Yongzheng hummed and got up, looked at the ink stains on the ground and said, "Who cleaned up the study just now?"

The little eunuch flinched and said, "It's Xiao Chunzi."

Zhou Yongzheng said: "Drag it out and chop it up." After saying that, he got up and walked out.

***

After the ugly time passed, Zhan Qing held the sword and opened his eyes, got up and sat up.

Zhang Rui got out of the car and walked to him.

Zhan Qing: "My lord."

Zhang Rui waved his hand and said: "You rest for a while, you must be more careful for a while, if you lose the enemy, you can withdraw and make a long-term plan." Zhan Qing nodded slightly.

"Once you break through the siege, do you know what to say to General Zhenbei?"

Zhan Qing said: "Tell King Zhenbei about your siege."

Zhang Rui shook his head and said: "No, you must first tell General Zhenbei the news that the Huns and the second prince colluded with the Huns, and then tell General Zhenbei the news that He Zixiang was besieged by the Huns. Preconceived, the emperor ordered He Zixiang to be killed beforehand." If you go back, General Zhenbei will definitely regard this siege as the emperor's order."

Zhan Qing nodded and said, "I understand!"

Zhang Rui patted him on the shoulder without saying a word, success or failure is a matter of one action, if it really breaks through, failure is fate, his only regret is that he can't see Zhou Yin again before he dies.

Twenty fully armed soldiers had already mounted their horses, with cotton cloths tied to their hooves, and biting heads on their mouths, so as not to disturb the Xiongnu army by making noise.Zhan Qing was also put on a soft armor, rode on He Zixiang's war horse, pulled the reins and followed a few people out.

It was quiet outside, with a faint white belly showing on the horizon.The Xiongnu army is probably still asleep at this meeting, and the group of them walked towards the pass like ghosts.

After walking a short distance, they saw a sentry of the Huns in front of them. Two hidden guards moved over quietly. The dagger appeared in their hands, and they wiped the sentry's neck!The man was taken away without a sound.

The team continued to move forward, and the front was the barracks of the Huns!In order to block them, the Xiongnu army lined up the barracks frantically at the exit.

Zhan Qing led the horse through the gap first, and the other soldiers walked one by one.

The Huns who came out to pee looked back with sleepy eyes, suddenly saw them, woke up suddenly, and shouted to wake up all the Huns in the camp.

Zhan Qing cursed unluckily in his heart, got on his horse and said, "Go!" This horse is He Zixiang's mount, a real good horse!With a whip on the horse, he threw off his hooves and rushed out like flying.

The twenty soldiers in the back stood behind him, and they killed every Hun soldier who came after him, and they killed one pair after chasing them!

One of the leading soldiers laughed and said, "Fuck me, let's kill enough brothers today!" The long knife in his hand flew up and down, and blood sprayed his whole body and face. These 20 people were like Shura from hell. In general, when you meet a god, you kill a god, and when you meet a Buddha, you kill a Buddha!

The Xiongnu soldiers who were killed by them were also red-eyed. They rushed forward one after another, chopped off the horse's legs, and dragged the man off the horse's back.

One by one the men fell, and one would be dragged to hell before dying!However, they are just human beings, gradually losing their strength... "Whoosh" A feathered arrow dragged its tail and shot at a man's shoulder armor. , and then countless feathered arrows fell from the sky, and the rest of the people all fell off their horses and died...

This group of iron-blooded men closed their eyes with a smile, General, what you told us about us, luckily lived up to our fate!
