V2.Chapter 8

There were no more accidents on the road, and Tang Yin and his party returned to Yancheng smoothly. Because xuanwang was seriously injured, Tang Yin took him directly to the palace and found Su Yelei and other skilled doctors to treat xuanwang.

The arm was cut off. In modern times, it may still be connected, but there was nothing to do with the medical technology at that time. After some first aid, xuanwang's last name was saved, but his broken arm was completely useless.

Xuanwang fell asleep. Tang Yin ordered the secret arrows to escort xuanwang back to his own home, and then ordered Cheng Jinyan to try the assassins. In any case, we should find out their identity and the behind the scenes emissary.

When such a big thing happened in the capital, Cheng Jin was frightened. He should be ordered to go. At this time, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and other ministers also arrived one after another. When people saw that Tang Yin was all right, they all breathed out. Then they heard that Xuan Wang was seriously injured and frowned again.

Tang Yin looked around at the crowd and murmured, "I don't think the assassin came for me, but for Lord Xuan!"

After hearing this, they looked at each other and frowned deeper. Xuan Wang is a nerd. He deals with organs all day. He is really not good at dealing with people and affairs, but he is independent of the world and has no political enemies in such a complex imperial court. How can he have enemies? And the enemy is so powerful that he can seriously hurt xuanwang under Tang Yin's eyes.

Zhang Xin turned his eyes, suddenly took a breath and said, "if the king's expectation is not bad, and the assassin really came for Lord Xuan, then the matter will be complicated, and it is likely to have something to do with Qiqiao villa."

Qiu Zhen sneered, shaking his head and rolling his eyes. He is Zhang Xin, who hates to stir up trouble everywhere in his heart. He is a complete villain. However, the king still trusts him, which makes Qiu Zhen very uncomfortable.

Tang Yin asked in a puzzled way, "what is the basis for Lord Zhang to think that the assassin will have something to do with Qiqiao villa?"

Zhang Xin said: "Your Majesty, if Lord Xuan is assassinated and killed, who will get the most benefit? Clever villa! Although your majesty asked Xia Yufu to supervise the Ordnance Department, the Ordnance Department is actually in the hands of Lord Xuan. The manufacture of our army's ordnance is still under the command and regulation of Lord Xuan. If Lord Xuan is killed, the Ordnance Department will be completely in the hands of Xia Yufu In the future, the development of our army's ordnance will be under the control of Jiqiao villa. If Jiqiao villa has two minds and moves some hands and feet on our army's ordnance, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

After listening to Zhang Xin's analysis, many ministers present couldn't help but excite Lingling to fight a cold war, and Tang Yin also took a deep breath. What Zhang Xin said is not unreasonable, but does Qiqiao villa really have such great ambition? Do you really dare to assassinate important officials in the court?

He thought for a long time, shook his head slowly, and youyou said, "I don't think so. If Xia Yufu wanted to hurt me, she wouldn't have saved me."

Zhang Xin showed an anxious look and said in an urgent voice: "Xia Yufu was helpless to save the king at the beginning. Besides, Xia Yufu doesn't have to know when she works in the smart villa... The king is wise, and there is no need for me to repeat the reasons for each one."

Tang Yin understands Zhang Xin's meaning. Xia Yufu is originally from Jiqiao villa. As long as she can be promoted to the position of the manager of the Ordnance Department, it is equal to that Jiqiao villa controls the Ordnance Department. As for Xia Yufu's own will, it doesn't matter. Tang Yin was silent. At this time, Qiu Zhen said, "it's very important, involving the life and death of many people. I'm afraid it's unfair for Lord Zhang to accuse Qiqiao villa of stabbing the Minister of the central court of treachery based on his own speculation!"

Zhang Xin's internal history of managing millet is also favored by Tang Yin. He is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is still quite afraid of the prime minister Qiu Zhen. With a dry smile, he said, "Qiu Xiang, I'm just talking about things and making speculation according to common sense. Of course, I can't guarantee that it must be the truth, but I don't want to leave ten."

Qiu Zhen said coldly, "many things cannot be inferred by common sense. To condemn others, there must be conclusive evidence."

Zhang Xin smiled and began to argue. Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "well, don't argue any more. When the assassin is judged by the hidden arrow, the matter will come out naturally." As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the house with his back in his hand, and kept saying, "I will not spare my minister if he hurts me in front of me!"

People see that Tang Yin is in a terrible mood now. People look at each other and quit one after another.

Qiu Zhen asked Tang Yin to personally try the assassin before leaving. Tang Yin didn't think much and nodded in agreement. Seeing that Qiu Zhen was going to try the assassin, Zhang Xin turned his mind and secretly scolded himself for being confused. Why didn't he fight for this rare opportunity to make meritorious service and please? Instead, Qiu Zhen took the lead. He hurried to ask for Tang Yin's order to be a jury.

Tang Yin knows Zhang Xin more or less. Although he likes to gossip everywhere, he still has no problem with his loyalty, and he doesn't dare to confuse black and white on the issue of major issues. Tang Yin thought a little and agreed with Zhang Xin to be a jury.

Soon after the ministers left, Tang Yin's three wives hurried from the outside.

"I heard that the king was assassinated outside the city?" Wu Mei, surnamed Zi, was the most anxious. She rushed to Tang Yin first, asked with concern, and looked at him up and down to see if he was hurt.

Tang Yin smiled and comforted, "I'm fine. Don't worry." Shuhaige said: "before the battle of the two armies, among the ten thousand enemies, I came and went freely. How can I be hurt by just a few assassins?"

After hearing what he said, Wu Mei finally showed a relieved smile on her face. Then she frowned and said, "you should be more careful in the future. You can't go out of the palace casually."

Tang Yin looked at Wu Mei's worried appearance and couldn't help but be happy. He suddenly felt that Wu Mei seemed to be much more mature and now he knew how to care about himself, which made his heart very useful. He gently pulled the catkin of Wumei, nodded and replied, "I understand."

Dance Mei asked, "I heard that Lord xuanwang was also injured. How was the injury?"

Referring to xuanwang, the smile on Tang Yin's face immediately disappeared, slowly shook his head and said, "one arm is useless."

Wu Mei turned pale and said in surprise, "is she so badly hurt?" Among the many ministers under Tang Yin's command, Xuan Wang is an old minister and one of the ministers who have followed Tang Yin for the longest time. Wu Mei and Xuan Wang are also very familiar. Now she feels bad when she hears that he has been hurt so badly, and her eyes are getting red.

Knowing that Wu Mei's surname looks sharp, Tang Yin is actually very soft hearted. Tang Yin patted the back of her hand and said, "fortunately, her surname is saved. As long as people are all right, they are lucky in misfortune."

"Yes!" Dance Mei answered, but her tone was still choking.

While Tang Yin and the three ladies were talking, a bodyguard ran outside and reported to him: "Your Majesty, Xia Jie, the leader of Qiqiao mountain villa, please see me!"

Yo! Xia Jie's news is so well-informed that something has happened so soon! Tang Yin raised her eyebrows, nodded and smiled, waved and said, "let villa leader Xia come near!"

"Yes! King!" The bodyguard answered, turned and walked away quickly.

Tang Yin said to the three ladies, "go back first and come to you when I'm finished."

Wu Mei, fan min and Yuan Qianyi naturally understood that it was inconvenient for Tang Yin to be present when dealing with business. The three women didn't say anything more and left one after another.

After a short time, Xia Jie hurried closer under the guidance of the bodyguard.

"Xia Jie, see the king!" Xia Jie knelt down and saluted.

Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xia, please get up! I have just visited Mr. Xia. Why did Mr. Xia come to the palace to see me again?"

Xia Jie straightened up and said, "I heard that the king left the villa and met an assassin on the way back to the capital, so I came to visit him. I was relieved to see that the king was all right with my own eyes."

He said that visiting was only one aspect, and the main purpose was to clarify that he had nothing to do with the matter. After all, Tang Yin was assassinated on the way out of Jiqiao villa. It's hard not to cast doubt on Jiqiao villa.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes. The tiger's eyes turned into an eagle's and stared at Xia Jie directly. After a long time, he smiled and said, "it's really Mr. Lao Xia's trouble. I'm fine, and Mr. Xia doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

On Xia Jie's face, Tang Yin saw nothing but peace. If he pretended it, it can only be said that Xia Jie's city is too deep and his acting skills are too clever.

Xia Jie didn't come empty handed. At the same time, he also brought several bags of top-grade tea. It is said to have the effect of calming and concentrating. Tang Yin just postponed it a little, and then accepted it with a smile.

After the guests and hosts took their seats, Tang Yin asked Xia Jie about his views and suggestions on the wind machinery department in his chat with Xia Jie. Tang Yin's question seemed casual, like talking about family affairs. In fact, there was a mystery. He wanted to find out whether Xia Jie paid attention to the Ordnance Department and how much he knew about the Ordnance Department through such a conversation.

However, Xia Jie can't answer Tang Yin's question at all. How dare he put forward any opinions and suggestions in front of the monarch for an organization he doesn't know and is completely strange to himself?

Judging by his appearance and listening to his words, Tang Yin didn't see that Xia Jie had anything to do with it, but the trial result of the hidden arrow was much more than he expected.

Except for the assassin who was seriously injured and could not be interrogated, the other two assassins confessed, and once the confession arrived, they all insisted that they were instructed by Qiqiao villa to assassinate xuanwang.

Such a confession coincided with Zhang Xin's conjecture, but Qiu Zhen didn't believe it, and felt that the assassin's confession was too easy. Without seeing how much torture the secret arrow personnel used, the assassin gave the "truth". How could such a person have the courage to assassinate the Minister of the central court?

Qiu Zhen proposed to Cheng Jin that the confession was wrong and must be retried, while Zhang Xin was impatient to take the confession to Tang Yin to convict Jiqiao villa.
