  Chapter 980 The situation is chaotic

The news of Li Yanqing's assassination in Yongjinmen immediately spread throughout the city, causing an uproar in the government and the people. Within a day, the murderer behind the scenes was caught, and more than 10,000 soldiers were mobilized. Wang Yuan personally led the army to search every house in Lin'an Mansion, causing great commotion.

  Li Yanqing had already returned to the boat, and he was somewhat afraid. If it wasn't for the assassin's misjudgment, or if it wasn't because he changed the carriage temporarily and eight poisonous crossbows shot into the carriage, he would have been in danger.

Li Yanqing paced back and forth in the cabin with his hands behind his back, thinking about the various possibilities of this assassination. First of all, when the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji left the palace, he took the first carriage. After leaving the palace, the two carriages were exchanged. In sequence, someone in the palace notified the assassin, so the assassin believed that he was in the first carriage and did not divide into two groups.

  The second possibility is Zhao Gou. He also wanted to get rid of himself, but he was afraid that his subordinates would rebel and could not do it in the palace, so he borrowed the hands of an assassin, and then planted it on the Supreme Emperor or someone else.

  The third possibility is one’s own enemies, such as the relatives who were destroyed by oneself in the past, the remnants of the Xixia Party, and even the assassins of the Kingdom of Jin, etc. If he is assassinated in the capital, he can provoke civil strife in the Song Dynasty.

  After thinking about it, Li Yanqing still thinks that the third possibility is the greatest.

First of all, if Zhao Ji wants to kill himself, he must be sure. He will not use the method of wild assassination at the city gate, which has a low success rate. Fu and the others haven't come back yet, and it's too hasty to assassinate him at this time, and Zhao Ji can basically be ruled out.

Next is Zhao Gou. Although he thought of the various possibilities of Zhao Gou assassinating him, his intuition told Li Yanqing that the relationship between him and Zhao Gou is far from the level of turning heads and assassinating him. Zhao Gou's throne is still unstable. The threat from the north has not diminished, and he still needs to help him stabilize the throne.

  Besides, he had already brought his son to Beijing, so Zhao Gou had the option of proton, and he didn't have to choose the extreme option of assassination, which had serious consequences.

After much deliberation, the possibility of the enemy assassinating him is the greatest, especially the few relatives who have been killed by him. They have eyeliners in the palace and know that they are riding in the first carriage when they leave the palace. If the country assassinates themselves, they can't have a clear goal, and they will definitely divide their troops to assassinate.

  At this time, Li Yanqing felt something, turned around and saw Hu Qinger standing at the door, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "Did the assassin confess?"

  Hu Qinger shook his head sadly, "He's dead!"

She suddenly rushed to Li Yanqing, hugged his waist tightly, pressed her face against his chest, tears welled up, Li Yanqing stroked her hair lightly, smiled and said: "My life is very hard, I can stab My man has not yet been born!"

   "Fu Lang, let's go back! You have finished your job report, it's not safe here." Hu Qinger said with a choked voice.

  Li Yanqing shook his head, "I can't go back for the time being, there won't be a second assassination."

   "Who would do it? Zhao Ji, that dog thief?"

  Li Yanqing shook his head, "Although Zhao Ji also wanted to kill me, but this time he really didn't do it. I suspect it was my relatives who hated me to the bone. They are most likely to buy murder."

   "I must peel their skin with my own hands!" Hu Qing'er gritted her teeth.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly realized that they should not be relatives. These relatives are the key targets of Zhao Ji's wooing. They will obey Zhao Ji's deployment and will not startle the snake at this time and spoil Zhao Ji's affairs. The princes and nobles of Xixia have just been sent here Lin'an hasn't been settled yet, so they probably don't have the intention to assassinate themselves at this time.

  Then the real assassin is about to come out, it must be Jin Guo, assassinate himself, provoke civil strife in the Song Dynasty, make the Song Dynasty have no time for the Northern Expedition, and reduce their strategic pressure on the grassland.

  At this time, there was a soldier outside the cabin reporting, "Report to Dutong, the emperor sent someone."

   "Who is here?" Li Yanqing asked.

   "It's Eunuch Kang!"

   "Ask him to sit in the cabin, I'll be right there!"

  Li Yanqing kissed Hu Qinger's red lips, and said with a smile, "Go and see Puer, come to my place at night."

  Hu Qinger blushed pretty, nodded slightly, turned around and walked out quickly.

  Li Yanqing pondered for a while, then left the cabin and came to the passenger cabin.

Eunuch Kang Lu paced back and forth in the cabin with hands behind his back, looking worried. He came to see Li Yanqing for two reasons. The first was to explain to Li Yanqing that the assassin had nothing to do with the emperor, and the second was to hope that Li Yanqing would continue to stay. Participate in the crown prince ceremony, don't leave in a fit of anger.

  At this moment, Li Yanqing walked into the cabin and said with a smile, "When did Mr. Kang return to the capital?"

   "I rushed back five days ago. There were too many things, and I lost more than ten pounds."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kang Lu went straight to the point, "The emperor heard about the assassination of His Highness, and he was also furious. He has already dismissed the governor of Lin'an Prefecture and ordered the military to find the murderer within three days. Please believe that the emperor will compare who the murderer is." We all hope that His Majesty is safe and sound."

  Li Yanqing nodded, "I won't be suspicious of the emperor, in fact, I also guessed who the assassin is."

   "Who is it?" Kang Lu asked urgently.

   "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Jin Guo. They really want me to be assassinated and stir up internal chaos in the Song Dynasty."

   "Ah! So that's the case, I will go back and report to the emperor immediately."

   Pausing for a while, Kang Lu said again: "I heard that His Highness caught an assassin alive?"

  Li Yanqing shook his head, "He was seriously injured and died, he is already dead, leaving no clues."

   "That's a pity."

  Kang Lu felt regretful, and he tentatively asked again: "Your Highness won't go back immediately!"

  Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "The crown prince's canonization ceremony has not yet begun, how can we go back? Please tell the officials, I will take care of the overall situation and will not do anything hotheaded."

  Kang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'll go back and report to the emperor immediately."

  Li Yanqing did not keep Kang Lu, he knew that the other party came for his statement, and he must be very anxious to go back and report.

  Li Yanqing sent him out of the cabin, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Kang Lu: "Don't lose your previous vigilance because of the assassination, please keep an eye on Miao Fu, I suspect he will abscond and come back early."

   "I understand, I will definitely tell the emperor!"

  Kang Lu clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and hurried off the boat.

  At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly felt a strong anxiety, and he immediately ordered: "Quickly order Zhang Shun to see me!"

'boom! ’ A teacup was slammed to the ground and shattered,

  Zhao Ji was so angry that he jumped into a rage, and shouted: "Who did it, let me find out, and I will kill him myself!"

  How could Zhao Ji not be angry? The assassination of Li Yanqing led to many accidents. It would be fine if the assassination was successful, but the assassination failed. How could he assassinate Li Yanqing?

But what angered Zhao Ji the most was not the assassination incident itself, but the absence of Miao Fu. Wang Yuan personally took over the guarding army and searched from house to house. This invisibly took over the army and lost tens of thousands of troops in the city. What mutiny?

  Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan trembled, Wang Boyan said: "I have already asked several foreign relatives, and it is definitely not their fault. They all said that he would not act without His Majesty's order."

   "Your Majesty, could it be the officials?" Huang Qianshan whispered.

  Zhao Ji sat down slowly, he forced himself to calm down, and after careful consideration, it was really possible, but wouldn't he be afraid of Li Yanqing's suspicion and return to Jingzhao Mansion in a fit of anger?

   "No!"

  Zhao Ji thought for a while, and suddenly said: "He is using this matter to regain the military power in the city in an upright manner. He said on the surface that he doesn't care, but in fact he is acting secretly. He knows that we have internal support in the palace."

  Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan were also a little panicked. Regardless of whether the assassin was sent by Zhao Gou or not, Zhao Gou took advantage of this and seized the military power in the city.

  Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and asked again: "When will Fu Miao come back?"

   "I can make it back tonight."

  Zhao Ji walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and he finally made a decisive decision: "If this matter is delayed, it will change. No matter whether Zhao Gou intends to seize power, we can't delay it any longer. We will act tonight."
