Chapter 207 On the way home

Seeing the flame disappearing from his sight, Pang Xi was very upset.

Pang Ji in the house had already escaped from his horror. He suddenly realized that this assassination was too timely!

Old Pang knew in his heart that this incident had nothing to do with Fan Zhongyan and Xia Shu. The assassin had already wanted to kill him many times, and he knew the identity of the assassin. This kid must have known that he had held a birthday party today and asked an adult in the room to help them get in. Pang Ji didn't know who helped him, but this question was not important.

The important thing is whether he can use this assassination to drag some people into the water. His eyes floated to Fan Zhongyan and Xia Shu. These two guys had disrupted his overall plan just now. Pang Ji thought there was no chance, at least not as good as he thought at first. Who knew that in a flash, someone actually gave him a better opportunity! If he missed it like this, would he still Pang Ji?

Renzong's face was already ashen at this time. He was the emperor and the most authoritative person in the Song Dynasty. But today, someone actually assassinated the Taishi in front of him. He did not take him, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty seriously, both public and private.

This is something that the emperor cannot tolerate! The ministers in the room looked at Renzong's face and knew very well that the emperor was not happy! A storm may be coming.

Outside the door, the servants of the Grand Tutor Mansion were still cleaning the traces left by the fight. Four assassins killed more than 30 people and injured more than ten people, but failed to catch them all, which made Pang Xi's face somewhat uneasy. He lowered his head and walked into the house to kneel down, just saying: "The villain is useless! Please ask the emperor, the Grand Tutor will punish him!"

Song Renzong knew that this must have made the assassin run away. He slapped the table and stood up: "Bao Zheng!"

After shouting, he suddenly realized that Bao Zheng was now patrolling the eight palaces for him with the Shangfang sword and was not around.

Just as he was thinking about who should do it, Fan Zhongyan took a step forward suddenly: "Long live my life, I think that the bandits assassinate the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty in broad daylight, without the power of the emperor and despise the law, is the most evil. We should strictly order Kaifeng Prefecture to solve the case within a time limit and arrest all the bandits!"

Renzong felt very reasonable and was about to nod, but Lu Yijian also stood up: "Your Majesty! The old minister thinks that Lord Fan is suspected of avoiding the important and taking the minor ones! I think that the assassin had clearly rushed towards Long Live just now, and this is the crime of assassinating the king! The Kaifeng Prefecture official system is inappropriate, so he should be punished, and the assassination of the king should be investigated strictly! "

Bao Zheng was promoted to the position of the prime minister of Dali Temple, and is almost on the same level as Lu Yijian. Leaving people to Bao Zheng has two benefits for Lu Yijian. First, Bao Zheng is famous for determining the case, not the right thing to the person. Even if he favors these corrupt scholars, he will not favor too much. In addition, Bao Zheng cannot come back now, and the longer the case is delayed, the more beneficial it is to Lu Yijian and the others, and he can have time to do a lot of articles.

The reason why Fan Zhongyan pushed the matter to Kaifeng Prefecture was because the current prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture was Ouyang Xiu.

Fan Zhongyan knew in his heart that even if Ouyang Xiu did not participate in this matter, he was at least an informed person, because the connection between them and Chai Yang was basically carried out through Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi.

They must be aware of this matter.

Fan Zhongyan's eyes floated to Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi, and the two of them looked gloomy and they believed in their judgment. This time the matter was very big, and Renzong saw it. Moreover, Lu Yijian is now changing the fact of assassinating Taishi Pang to assassinating Renzong.

If Ouyang Xiu and the others admitted that they could calm Renzong's anger, Fan Zhongyan would let Ouyang Xiu stand up without hesitation. But even if they were asked to stand up now, Lu Yijian and Pang Ji would not miss this opportunity.

Fan Zhongyan was secretly anxious and also a little bit self-blame. He was ready to take on everything and didn't tell Ouyang Xiu and the others, because Fan Zhongyan knew that these people would definitely not be indifferent when he took everything up.

They must have thought there was nothing they could do, so they implemented this bad strategy. Now that the situation that was already stable has caused waves, Lu Yijian has already put on an aggressive attitude.

Since Pang Ji stepped down, the old guy Lu Yijian has gradually lost his power. They have now fought back. Taking this assassination that no one expected as an opportunity, they first focused on Kaifeng Prefecture! This is obviously to use Ouyang Xiu as a breakthrough.

Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, knew very well that although this person was honest and upright, he was quite slutty in his private life. He not only had many connections with those eccentric figures, but also had troubles with brothel prostitutes, and even some good women.

Such people are easily caught by others.

"Your Majesty, I think the assassin just now was not a rude act. Even if he did something rude later, he was still eager to escape. His original intention was to assassinate the Grand Master."

Before Fan Zhongyan could finish his words, Concubine Pang, who was sitting next to Renzong, suddenly slapped the table: "Mr. Fan! Do you think that assassinating my father will not be punished to death? Is my father the one who deserves to die?"

Fan Zhongyan was speechless. He just wanted to hand over the matter to Ouyang Xiu and then control the development of the situation. However, in a hurry, he made a mistake and was caught. If someone else could argue, Empress Pang could only kneel down quickly: "Damn it! I didn't mean that, Empress Dowager misunderstood!"

Empress Pang leaned on Renzong: "Emperor! I beg the emperor to make the decision for my father! My father still resigned and just wanted to live a life of his life. Who knew that someone would not even give him this opportunity, so I beg the emperor to make the decision!"

Renzong had at least calmed his face at this time, but his chest was still undulating: "I plan freely when interrogating the assassin. From tomorrow on, the Grand Tutor will discuss his position every morning court. Pang Xi,"

Pang Xi walked over and knelt down: "The villain is here!"

Renzong reached out and took out a waist sign: "From now on, I appointed you as the Imperial Guard Commander, and I will leave you with the matter of catching the assassin. With this token, all the constables in the capital can be mobilized!"

After saying that, he raised his wrist and flew towards Pang Xi. Pang Xi caught it with both hands: "Thank you, Master!"

Renzong looked at the ministers in the house coldly, Pang Ji, who lowered his head and secretly rejoiced, Fan Zhongyan with pale face, Xia Shu with a tight brow, and Lu Yijian with a slightly proud face. His decision obviously surprised many people, especially those like Fan Zhongyan.

It is obviously unruly to hand over the task of capturing the assassin to Pang Xi. Doing so will definitely make it more convenient for Mr. Pang to take advantage of the issue. But now, it is impossible to say that this is unruly. Renzong is the emperor. You said that Pang Xi’s identity is not enough, and if you annoy him, he will give him a qualified identity.

Fan Zhongyan's hands were rubbing together uneasyly. He knew that a storm was coming. How many people could escape this storm?

The room is full of big people. These adults who are usually glorious are now extremely frightened. Because they stand tall, they are destined to be more painful when they fall down. Small people like Chen Yuan are not qualified to try such pain and suffering.

For Chen Yuan, he was about to arrive at Chen Shimei's house. Now Chen Shimei and Chen Yuan are the same person, and his family is his own family.

Chen Shimei's family is in Junzhou, Huguang, and is more than a thousand miles away from Bianjing.

The business of the Song Dynasty was very developed, which was not only reflected in the city of Bianjing. After leaving the city, the spacious official roads extended to all directions, ensuring that more local goods could be exchanged in time. This is also a reflection of the very strong economic strength.

Southwest Road in Jing is directly from Bianjing to Junzhou. Not only is the road well built, but the various service facilities on both sides of the road are also very considerate. The inn has special stables, and many stalls dedicated to repairing cars are placed on the side of the road, which ensures that Chen Yuan's carriage always maintains the fastest speed.

After leaving Beijing, the carriage entered Junzhou. Everyone who had been away from home for a few years was somewhat excited when they embarked on the way home, and Chen Yuan was the same. However, from Linghua's expression, it can be seen that she seemed to be more nervous and excited than herself.

Chen Yuan hugged her tightly: "Don't be afraid, my parents are very easy-going, especially my mother, she will definitely like you very much."

Linghua's face was red: "Honey, I always feel that it seems a bit inappropriate to go back to see her parents-in-law with you like this."

Chen Yuan smiled: "It's inappropriate if you don't come!"

As he said that, he laid himself in silk: "Look at me, I am now so glorious. If you bring such a beautiful girl like you, the rich man in our village will envy me to death! Really, you are much more beautiful than those concubines he married!"

Linghua heard a smile on her lips: "No, I'm worried that my elder sister would have any opinions on me?"

Qin Xianglian? Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little shocked. To be honest, in the memory left to him by Chen Shimei, Qin Xianglian is a good woman. After entering the Chen family for so many years, Chen Shimei has never touched the hoe handle.

But good women are also women, and women are always jealous. Can she really accept bringing a woman back? Although it is common for Song people to have three wives and four concubines, is Qin Xianglian really ready in her heart?

Chen Yuan thought about making it clear to the house after he went home and told her that he had found two more wives. But after thinking about it, it was probably a woman who could not bear such a heavy blow, so it would be better to do it one by one.

After all, she is Chen Shimei's wife, and to be honest, she is still okay. Even if she treats Chen Shimei well, if you really let Chen Yuan hold Qin Xianglian and sleep for the rest of your life, you may not be able to sleep soundly. This is really a very troublesome problem.

However, Chen Yuan dared to face up to any trouble. He was confident that with his perfect tongue, he would convince Qin Xianglian to go to Bianjing with him. The best reason: for the sake of the child's future development.

To put it nicely, if you really can't coax Qin Xianglian, let her hit her twice, as long as you search the guy, there's no problem!
