Chapter 287 The general killed someone!
There is nothing fishy going on here in Daqing for the time being.
Xie Jingmo is becoming paranoid here.
He kept searching the city for the owner of the carriage that had killed Guo Xiang!
Yun Zhao had a secret guard under his command. After sending him out for one day, he basically got the conclusion.
Deputy General Gao stood aside and waited until the secret guards finished their report and left before he frowned and looked at Yun Zhao.
"Is this...an accident or murder?"
Yun Zhao frowned tightly.
"Why would the Left Prime Minister's men want to attack the Right Prime Minister? If Xie Jingmo leaves, wouldn't Prime Minister Guo be even less of a threat? Why are you so anxious?"
Yun Zhao's eyes darkened. "It was because Xie Jingmo was leaving that they felt that Minister Guo would have no one to rely on in the future, so they attacked him. However, they didn't do it cleanly, leaving traces behind, which allowed the secret guards to find the clues."
Deputy General Gao asked, "What should we do? Should we hide it from Jing Mo?"
Yun Zhao: "If we can find out, he won't be much slower than us. Maybe Xie Jingmo has already come to a conclusion."
Deputy General Gao frowned, "What can we do? He's the Left Prime Minister. He has many followers in the court. If Xie Jingmo really touches the Left Prime Minister's people, they will not let it go."
Yun Zhao's brows knitted together. "The person behind this is the Left Prime Minister's legitimate son, Yu Bai. The Left Prime Minister will definitely be on guard. Go call Xie Jingmo in first and don't let him act impulsively."
Deputy General Gao went out immediately.
Yun Zhao was not at ease during this period because of Xie Jingmo's violent temper. One of his capable deputy was shot dead in the frontier. Xie Jingmo climbed over the pile of dead bodies to avenge the deputy. He sneaked into the enemy camp alone and took the man's head.
Now it’s Guo Tao.
Xie Jingmo's closest uncle.
But the Left Prime Minister's power is deeply entrenched in the court. If she were to touch his son at this time, she wouldn't be able to protect him!
At dinner time.
Deputy General Gao finally arrived with Xie Jingmo.
"What's wrong?" Xie Jingmo hadn't slept for several days and didn't look very energetic. "Are you looking for me?"
Yun Zhao pointed at the food on the table and said, "You and Deputy General Gao, please sit down and have a meal with me."
Xie Jingmo nodded and sat down. Seeing that Deputy General Gao was still standing, he pulled him to sit down with him.
"Why are there so many of my favorite dishes tonight? What happened?" Xie Jingmo asked.
Yun Zhao glanced at Deputy General Gao.
Deputy General Gao shook his head at Yun Zhao, who looked away. "It's just a coincidence. Let's eat."
Xie Jingmo smiled and picked up a piece of food for Yun Zhao with his chopsticks.
Nothing unusual.
After dinner, Xie Jingmo took off his shoes and socks, waded into the lotus pond, picked a lotus root for Yun Zhao, peeled it himself and put it in a small bowl for Yun Zhao.
I also talked with Fu Hai for a while on the steps at the door.
Xie Jingmo stood up only when the moonlight gradually deepened.
Fu Hai immediately stopped him, "Xie Jingmo, aren't you staying in the palace tonight?"
In the inner hall, Yun Zhao stopped writing and looked up, his gaze meeting Xie Jingmo's.
Xie Jingmo smiled lightly and said, "Today is the seventh day after my uncle's death. I have to go to the Prime Minister's residence."
Xie Jingmo said to Yun Zhao, "Don't work too hard, get some rest early."
After saying that, he turned around, waved his hand with his back to Yun Zhao, and shouted, "Let's go!"
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo's back and slowly frowned.
Yun Zhao called over Deputy General Gao and said, "Go keep an eye on Xie Jingmo. He seems a little abnormal."
Deputy General Gao was bewildered.
"ah?"
"Is it abnormal?"
"What's wrong?"
"Wasn't he acting normal during the meal? He even said the food was good. I saw him eat several dishes and I didn't think there was anything unusual."
Yun Zhao put down his pen and said, "If you go to Prime Minister Guo's residence tonight, and anyone asks you, just say you're going to accompany Xie Jingmo. Don't say anything else."
Deputy General Gao nodded. "Jing Mo probably didn't find out so quickly. He probably doesn't know yet. If he knew, given his temper, he wouldn't have been able to endure it for so long. How could he have come in specially to have this meal with you?"
According to what happened before, it should have exploded on the spot, right?
Deputy General Gao went out.
When they arrived at Prime Minister Guo's residence, Xie Jingmo was lighting incense for Prime Minister Guo.
His expression was much gloomier than when he was in Yunzhao Palace.
When he saw Deputy General Gao coming, he just nodded at him.
Then he knelt down in front of the hall.
The night was getting deeper.
Deputy General Gao was dozing off at the door, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
He opened his eyes in a daze and saw someone kneeling in front of the hall. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
The sky suddenly brightened.
Deputy General Gao only heard a cry, "Murder! The general has killed someone!"
He rubbed his eyes.
Next second.
His mind suddenly cleared, and he immediately looked towards the hall.
fine.
Still kneeling inside.
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, walked forward a few steps, and grabbed the man's shoulder.
What he saw was a face completely different from Xie Jingmo's.
“Where are the people?”
Deputy General Gao roared.
The servant trembled and slumped to the ground. "I don't know. The general told me to kneel here!"
Deputy General Gao was furious, "How long have you been kneeling?"
The servant shrank his neck and said, "Four, four or five hours."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Gao was shocked, "It's bad!"
Deputy General Gao cursed all the way. He rushed out of Prime Minister Guo's residence and heard pedestrians hurried on the road, shouting loudly, "Murder! General, murder!"
Deputy General Gao casually pulled it out and said, "What general killed someone? If you say that, I'll cut off your tongue!"
The man pointed tremblingly in the direction of Yu Bai's mansion, "Someone really did kill someone. General Xie Jingmo did it. He killed Yu Bai and hung Yu Bai's body at the door of Yu's mansion. Blood is dripping all over the ground. Xie Jingmo is still standing at the door with a sword, not letting anyone take Yu Bai down. Many people have seen it!"
Deputy General Gao threw the man aside and hurried towards Yu Mansion.
The moment he arrived, Yu Xiang was cursing at the bottom of the stairs, "You arrogant Xie Jingmo, you killed my son, I want you to pay with your life!"
"Xie Jingmo! I want you to die!"
Yu Xiang stared with his eyes wide open and his face was ferocious. He had a sword in his hand, but as soon as he raised it, he was knocked down.
Yu Xiang immediately gathered more people, "Save my son!"
There were dozens of people in Yu Mansion, including dozens of Yu Xiang's assassins. They attacked Xie Jingmo's most fatal part.
Upon seeing this, Deputy General Gao immediately rushed in.
"Deputy General Gao! You must know that this is a murderer! Are you helping a murderer?!" Yu Xiang was furious and almost lost control in the street.
"I only know that whether Xie Jingmo is guilty or not can only be known after the Queen Mother has judged him. It is not your turn to abuse his power and punish him!"
Yu Xiang pointed at his legitimate son, who was still hanging from the beam, and said, "My child is gone! I don't care about the queen mother or the generals, they must be buried with my son!"
As Yu Xiang spoke, he gave a look to the dozens of assassins.
Those people rushed forward.
They were outnumbered, and these people were well-trained.
Deputy General Gao was hit by a sword in the abdomen. Seeing the arrows coming from behind, Deputy General Gao widened his eyes and yelled, "Be careful!"
Xie Jingmo turned his head, and the cold arrow shot straight into Xie Jingmo's chest.
The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, barely supporting his shaky body.
