Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 576 Shock (1)

   On that day, he held a private banquet at the Governor's Palace. Apart from the prince, there were three other people attending the banquet.

   These three are people who have known him for many years. He is also his most trusted confidant. After the prince came to Jiangnan, he led the three officials to serve the prince as an errand.

   Who would have thought that the disaster happened to these three people.

   After more than half a month, the scene of that night is still vivid in my mind.

   The four of them took turns toasting the prince. The prince's drinking capacity is not high. After drinking a few glasses, he refused to drink any more. He said with a smile, "I'm not good at drinking, so if I drink a few glasses, I will be happy."

   Jiang An inspector made the wine booming, and tried to persuade him to drink. The dancer in charge of pouring the wine poured a cup for the prince with a smile.

  Silk bamboo music bursts, several dancers waving long sleeves, dancing enchantingly.

   In such an environment, even the guards guarding behind the prince relaxed a little.

  The accident happened in an instant.

   The three personal soldiers behind Anchor Jiang suddenly attacked and rushed towards the prince in unison. Lu Yi and Zuo Commander, who were beside the prince, responded quickly, and each shot to stop one. The last assassin flipped his wrist, a sharp dagger in his palm, and rushed forward with the momentum of death.

  Prince has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he is not a first-class master, and his reaction is very fast. But this assassin moves faster. Between the lights and flint, the dancer next to him rushed forward and blocked a blow for the prince.

The dagger in the hand of the    assassin stabbed the dancer in the chest. The dancer let out a miserable cry.

The    assassin drew his dagger and stabbed the prince again. The prince couldn't dodge in time, and his right arm was stabbed. At this time, everyone had already reacted, and the personal soldiers rushed over and beheaded the three assassins angrily.

  Prince's injuries are not life-threatening, but the dagger is poisonous. The dancer who was stabbed in the chest fell to the ground, black blood spilled from her mouth, and she died in a few breaths.

  Leader Zuo quickly took out the poison-repelling pills secretly made in the palace and stuffed three of them into the prince's mouth.

   Lu Yi's face was dignified, he shot at the prince's faint point, and then used a sharp blade to dig out the injured part of the prince's right arm. A lot of black blood flowed from the wound until the color of the blood stains faded.

  Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince has an imperial physician by his side. After a while, the imperial doctor hurried over, not daring to move the prince at all, and squatted down on the spot to expel poison with acupuncture and heal the wounds for His Royal Highness.

   A group of personal soldiers surrounded the prince.

   Governor Xie Jiang Anshi and others were stunned by this change. Especially the Inspector Jiang, who brought the assassins, and if the prince has any good or bad, don't want his head. Dozens of the Jiang family, young and old, had to die along with them.

An Inspector Jiang was so frightened that his legs were weak, so he knelt down at the time, burst into tears, and kowtowed: "Lord Governor, save me. These three assassins are definitely not my orders. I don't know what happened. It must be Someone used my hand to murder His Royal Highness, and then framed it on my head. Please, my lord, save my life!"

Governor Xie's expression at that time was no better than that of Chaser Jiang, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If something happened to His Royal Highness, you and I can't get out. You brought these three people, and you kept saying that you didn't know. Who will believe your nonsense!"

Inspector Jiang said tremblingly: "They are all my personal soldiers who have been with me for seven or eight years. They have always been loyal and capable. I take a few of them with me wherever I go. I never imagined that they would assassinate the prince... They must be The people of the Jiangnan Old Clan were installed by my side as early as a few years ago. It must be like this!"

   Governor Xie was in a state of turmoil, how could he even hear this: "Shut up!"

  Shut up!

  Prince's life is not in danger, Jiang An inspector will lose his office at most. If the prince has three strengths and two weaknesses, the lives of the Jiang family will not be guaranteed.

   The other two officials were also shocked and pale. They are all civil servants, and they have never seen such a dangerous scene, and their legs are softened with fright.

Lu Yi came over, his eyes were like sharp blades, slashed on everyone's faces, and finally landed on Governor Xie's face: "Lord Governor, His Royal Highness should not move. From now on, we will use the Governor's Palace. The three adults are a little more aggrieved and stay in the Governor's Palace together for the time being."

   made it clear that they were all withheld, and they could not be released until the prince was safe and sound and thoroughly investigated the cause.

   Under these circumstances, Governor Xie couldn't say a word, so he responded.

   An inspector Jiang's face was ashen, and his body was shivering.

   That night, 5,000 elite soldiers came to the Governor's Palace, guarding the inside and outside of the Governor's Palace. No one is allowed in or out.

  Leader Zuo was in charge of vigilance, while Lu Yi gathered everyone in the Governor to one place and interrogated them one by one.

   As for Governor Xie, An Inspector Jiang, each of them was “invited” into an empty room, and more than a dozen personal soldiers inside and outside stared at them.

   Governor Xie was responsible. After the initial shock and panic, he quickly calmed down. First, I wrote a letter to plead guilty, and then wrote a letter to Mr. Qiao Ge.

   Of course, the memorials and letters were carefully checked before they left the Governor's Palace and were sent to the capital.

  The incident of the assassination and injury of the prince could not be concealed at all. Within two days, it spread all over Jiangnan. All the officials on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River rushed to the Governor's Mansion to ask to see the prince, but they were all blocked from the door.

  Someone who did not give up, could not see the prince, so he wanted to see Governor Xie.

  However, Governor Xie did not show up.

  How is the injury of the prince? Has the toxicity been eliminated? Except for the person who served the prince personally, no one knew.

   However, there are many rumors from the outside world.

   Hearing that the three assassins had been lurking beside Chaser Jiang for many years, and suddenly started to assassinate the prince, Chaser Jiang seemed to have fallen into a mud pit, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

  Perhaps Jiang Anjiancha had long been in anger with the illicit salt dealers, and he conspired to assassinate him.

   That's right, Anchor Jiang is the confidant of Governor Xie. If this assassination was really done by Inspector Jiang, would it have something to do with Governor Xie?

   This kind of thing can't be said nonsense. Governor Xie is the Governor of Jiangnan, a senior official of the second grade. He is also a student whom Qiao Ge has cultivated for many years, and has been supported by Qiao Ge Lao's kindness for many years. How can you be so disrespectful to the prince?

  The rumors are flying all over the sky, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they are.

   Governor Xie, who was imprisoned in the Governor's Mansion, frowned at the bright moon outside the window.

   He stayed in Jiangnan for more than ten years. No one knows better than him how powerful the Jiangnan old clan is. The prince attacked these people and was madly assassinated. Now the injury is unknown.

  The memorial he sent was long overdue for the courtroom.

   How the imperial court will react, he can also guess one or two.

   What he is worried about now is whether the news of the imperial court sending troops to Jiangnan will lead to a more rampant and fierce backlash...

   A strange sound came faintly into his ears.

   Governor Xie was startled, he quickly opened the window, and all he could see was a cluster of fire. That small piece of fire broke through the tranquility of the long night.
