The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 168

[Chapter 168 Crying]

Emperor Chu saw his beloved daughter’s aggrieved look, he immediately put down the memorial, looked at Zhao Yan, and comforted: “Whoever bullied Yan’er, tell me, and my father will make the decision for you.”

Zhao Yan He was even more aggrieved and cried: “Father, Yan’er almost couldn’t see you.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he looked at Liu Cheng beside him with an angry look on his face.

The safety of the palace and royal members is entirely responsible for Jin Wuwei and Liu Cheng.

Something went wrong with Her Royal Highness, and the first person to be unlucky was Liu Cheng, the eunuch closest to the Emperor of Chu.

Liu Cheng was obviously aware of this, as cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake: “I failed to protect Her Royal Highness, and I am guilty.”

Emperor Chu just snorted coldly and looked at Zhao Yan again.

Zhao Yan burst into tears and choked up: “Yan, Yan’er went to Chunfeng Tower to eat. Before she could sit down, a group of thugs with weapons rushed into the private room and wanted to kill Yan’er.

If not for Granny Duan’s presence. , Yan’er will never see her father again.”

Although Emperor Chu felt sorry for his precious daughter, he felt a little strange when he heard these words.

Zhao Yan left the palace this time with his permission. Originally she just wanted to go to the school parade ground to watch the pro-army competition, so why did she go to the Chunfeng Tower?

This is understandable. On the way to watch the game, I felt hungry and wanted to eat something, but I didn’t want to go to the trouble of returning to the palace. It was only human nature to find a restaurant at random.

But where did the thugs with weapons come from, and why did they rush into the private room with the intention of assassinating Princess Chu? First of all

, since they were in the private room, these people must have planned it in advance and it was not temporary. Get interested.

Except for Emperor Chu himself, very few people knew about Zhao Yan’s departure from the palace, and not many people cared about it.

What are the identities of these people, and they are able to learn this news.

Secondly, assassinating members of the royal family, according to the laws of the Chu State, was a major crime against the three clans.

Even if they are desperate and desperate, few people would be crazy enough to do such a thing.

After all, in today’s world, except for the disaster-stricken Central Plains area, if people in other places are more diligent, they will not have no way to survive.

There is no need to risk killing three tribes and commit such a major crime.

Therefore, Emperor Chu did not rush to issue an order to arrest those so-called thugs. Instead, he asked: “Where is Chunfeng Tower? Is there anyone else in the private room besides you?”

Zhao Yan wiped her tears and thought After thinking for a while, he answered truthfully: “In addition to Yan’er in the elegant room, there is also Fang Xiu, the Zuo Zhonglang general of the right feather Lin Guard. It was he who took Yan’er to Chunfeng Tower.”

Fang Xiu?

When Emperor Chu heard this name, he didn’t know what he thought of, and his expression became a little strange.

Although Fang Xiu is a little lazy on weekdays, he is still very kind-hearted.

He also comes from the Zhongliang family and is very loyal to the court and the palace, so he would never do such a thing.

And

no matter what angle he looked at, there was no reason for him to be unfavorable to Yan’er.

Therefore, the only explanation is that those thugs were targeting Fang Xiu, and Yan’er was only hurting Chi Yu.

Even so, it was too arrogant to commit such a blatant attack on the imperial official and Princess Da Chu in broad daylight and with the world clear and at the feet of the emperor.

Emperor Chu’s face darkened, and he ordered Liu Cheng next to him: “Order the Jinwu Guards to investigate. No matter who is behind this matter, we must not tolerate it!”

Liu Cheng said hurriedly: “Yes, Your Majesty!”

Emperor Chu said After finishing, he looked at Zhao Yan, his expression softened a lot, and said softly: “Don’t worry, my father will definitely make the decision for you in this matter.

No one, including the mastermind behind the scenes, can escape.”

Zhao Yanmo said With tears in her eyes: “Yan’er thanked Emperor Father.”

Emperor Chu comforted Zhao Yan a few more words and said, “Okay, you can go down. Emperor Father still has memorials to approve.”

“Yan’er understands”

Zhao Yanchao Emperor Chu bowed and walked out of Nuan Pavilion.

After she left Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Chu’s expression became a little strange again, and he murmured: “Fang Xiu”

After a moment, Emperor Chu looked at Liu Cheng beside him and asked: “Where is Chunfeng Tower?”

Liu Cheng thought for a moment. After thinking about it, he replied: “Your Majesty, Chunfeng Tower is located in the south of the city, and the shopkeeper was originally the steward of Fang Mansion.”

After receiving this answer, Emperor Chu’s expression became even more strange.

After a while, he shook his head and murmured: “I’m really old. I can’t fathom the thoughts of these young people.”

Fang Fu.

Fang Xiu came back from Chunfeng Tower an hour later.

The street gangsters who caused trouble in Chunfeng Tower were all taken away by Kyoto Prefecture police officers. How to deal with them has not yet been decided.

But

he believed that as long as the scarred face was there, no matter how Xia Yixue interrogated him, the final finger would be directed at Yang Ming.

Fang Xiu still trusted Xia Yixue very much.

It is true that this person is unkind, but from a certain perspective, he is also called selfless.

However, whether this matter will harm Yang Ming depends on the attitude of the governor of Kyoto.

I hope the governor of Kyoto can enforce the law impartially, otherwise

I will never think about this and my eyes narrowed slightly.

If anyone who knows him well sees this scene, they will know that he is thinking of some bad ideas again.

“Master, all those assassins have been recruited.”

Fang Xiu returned to his yard and hadn’t even taken a break.

Bai Xiaochun came over and whispered: “The confessions of the two assassins are similar, but compared to the middle-aged assassin, the younger assassin said more.”

After saying that, he handed over a booklet with the names of the two assassins written on it .

confession.

Fang Xiu took the brochure, opened it, glanced at it a few times, and was immediately attracted by the content above.

His guess was not wrong.

These assassins were chieftains from the southwest, and they were filled with hatred because they were swept away by General Dingyuan’s army three years ago.

Especially the so-called Miss Yang, as the daughter of a chieftain, hated General Dingyuan and the imperial troops so much that she traveled thousands of miles to the capital to avenge her father.

It’s a pity that General Dingyuan has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his military force and practical combat experience are among the best in the world. As a semi-monastic assassin, they have never had the chance to take action.

In desperation, he had no choice but to change the target of the assassination to his uneducated and prodigal son. It was also

because General Dingyuan only had such a son, so he killed him and thought that the Fang family was dead.

For General Dingyuan, this may be more painful than killing him.

Fang Xiu was speechless when he saw this.

If someone else cannot be killed for revenge, then it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Either go home and practice martial arts hard, or plan to outwit them.

How come when you get to these guys, you can’t kill the old ones but the young ones?

As the saying goes, every injustice has its own owner.

It was obviously his cheap father who caused the matter, why should he bear the responsibility?

These guys are not kind!
