Chapter 59 Asking the Blood Demon Pavilion to help?

Chen Mansion.

Xuanwu Hou Jihong and Chen Rui, the third master of the Chen family, sat in the palace all night. Both of them had deep expressions and remained silent.

"Third Master, the news has come out!"

"explain!"

"The Emperor's bell rang last night because of the great victory in the east. Duke Zhen Guo led an army to annihilate 170,000 enemies. He will return to the court soon!"

"Furthermore, King Xuan Yong was assassinated last night, and His Majesty was furious!"

Listening to the butler's report, Chen Rui's eyes narrowed and he asked directly: "Is King Xuanyong dead?"

"No...no!"

The housekeeper couldn't help but break into a cold sweat and whispered: "I heard that more than ten guards died in Prince Xuan Yong's palace, but Prince Xuan Yong was unscathed!"

"Today in the hall, King Xuan Yong was still talking nonsense, saying... From now on, all the guards in the house will be dismissed, waiting for the assassin to attack!"

"Also..." The butler had a deep look on his face and thought carefully: "Many of the court's masters have their excuses on the desk of his imperial guard. He never knows when he will take action..."

"That's so careless!"

"Where's the assassin?"

"I heard that all eight assassins died and were dragged to Jin Yiwei's Yamen!"

Chen Rui and Ji Hong looked at each other deeply and said to the steward on the side: "Go down first and pay attention to the movements in the capital. If there is any news, report it immediately!"

"promise!"

After the butler withdrew, Chen Rui's expression suddenly darkened and he sneered: "Dismissal of all the guards in the house?"

"Still waiting for the assassin to attack?"

"Shuzi is arrogant!"

"Master Hou, this naughty boy is provoking us!"

Ji Hong also had a cold look in his eyes and said calmly: "Third Master, there is no need to be angry. No matter how much Ning Fan jumps around, he is just a chess piece in that man's hand after all!"

"However, now the great victory in the east has disrupted our plans!"

"Once Zhao Changying and the others return to the court, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us!"

"His Majesty seems determined to attack us, we must not sit still and wait for death!"

There was a deep light in Chen Rui's eyes, which made it impossible to see any color. He pondered for a long time and asked.

"How are the preparations in the south?"

"The King of Huainan is in contact with people in the south, but there is no news about the specific progress!"

"Urge them to speed up the progress, otherwise, I'm afraid that person will attack us first!"

"Um!"

Ji Hong nodded slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said softly: "Third Master, Fourth Master has not returned home for more than half a month, is there any news?"

"Fourth child?"

Chen Rui looked startled, shook his head slightly and said, "Since he was transferred to the new army camp, there has been no news!"

When Ji Hong heard this, he also smiled and said softly: "I heard that the fourth master also brought an actor with red sleeves to go with him. The fourth master is living a cool life!"

"Hmph, this guy is bohemian by nature and indulges in drinking and sex. Sooner or later he will fall into this trap!"

Mentioning Chen Fang, Chen Rui had a look of disdain on his face, and even a bit of jealousy in his eyes.

Seeing that Chen Rui didn't want to mention this matter, Ji Hong also changed the subject wisely and said softly: "Third Master, the people who assassinated King Xuan Yong last night were all my soldiers. If Ning Fan can't find out the mastermind, Will you take action against our people again?"

"you mean……"

"Since King Xuan Yong has made such nonsense, let him be fulfilled!"

There was a hint of murderous intent in Marquis Xuanwu's eyes, and Youyou said, "I wonder if Third Master has ever heard of the No. 1 killer organization in the world, the Blood Fiend Pavilion?"

"Of course, the Blood Demon Pavilion has been famous in the world for a long time. Why...is it possible that you can invite them to take action?"

"Third Master, I bought those eight people from the Blood Demon Pavilion last night!"

"The people from the Blood Demon Pavilion failed to take action?"

Speaking of this, Chen Rui's eyes flashed with deep surprise, and he said angrily: "These Jin Yiwei are like emerging from the cracks in the rocks. Each of them is a person with strong martial arts. They must have been used by Emperor Yu." The power of darkness!"

"However, even the Blood Demon Pavilion failed. It seems that it is not that easy to take off Ning Fan's dog head!"

"The Third Master doesn't know something!" Marquis Xuanwu shook his head slightly and said: "In the Blood Demon Pavilion, there are gold medal, silver medal, and bronze medal killers. The eight who took action last night were all bronze medal killers!"

"The Bronze Medal Killer is not an official member of the Blood Fiend Pavilion. I have a good relationship with the Master of the Blood Fiend Pavilion. Why not spend a lot of money to invite some Silver Medal Killers or even Gold Medal Killers to come forward!"

"It's so true!"

Chen Rui's face also showed a hint of joy, and he said softly: "I didn't expect you to be able to connect with the Blood Demon Pavilion!"

"The Blood Demon Pavilion has a great reputation in the world and has many masters. If it can be used by us..."

"Master Marquis, you bring thousands of taels of gold and show your kindness to the Blood Evil Pavilion for me!"

Ji Hong looked stunned for a moment, secretly lamented the Chen family's wealth, nodded slightly and said, "Leave this matter to me!"

…

Prince Xuanyong's Mansion.

Thatched cottage!

Ning Fan and Zhuge Liang were playing chess, with black and white stones interlaced, but their attention was not on the chessboard.

"Sir, this is the list of officials I got from the Ministry of Personnel!"

"In the past few days, there have been quite a few officials visiting my house, but most of them are flatterers and flatterers!"

"Now that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is on the shelf, I'm afraid things will change later!"

Zhuge Liang took the list handed over by Ning Fan, checked it one by one, put it down slowly, and said with a smile: "My lord, since there is no suitable person among the officials in the capital, why not transfer one from the local area!"

"Moreover, the position of right prime minister is vacant now, and the candidates for right prime minister are all from aristocratic families!"

"Your Majesty intends to promote his confidants, but he lacks qualifications and talents, so it may be difficult to convince the public!"

"Therefore, Your Majesty would rather let the left prime minister dominate than give up the position of right prime minister easily!"

"What do you mean, sir? "

Ning Fan's face showed a trace of doubt, and Zhuge Liang said slowly: "I am planning a candidate for the right prime minister for my lord!"

"Hmm?"

Ning Fan looked at Zhuge Liang with an unfathomable look, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the master is ready to come out of the mountain?"

"No!"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "My lord, do you still remember the former Taifu, Mr. Shen Li Shen?"

"Of course I remember!"

Ning Fan was stunned, and a majestic figure in plain clothes and holding a ruler appeared in his mind.

That was his father's teacher. When he was a child, this person also served as the chief wine of the Imperial Academy and taught a group of princes. He was also half of his teacher!

The predecessor was naughty by nature and even insulted the emperor's imperial teacher in class, but Mr. Shen never got angry. Instead, he thought that he was not teaching well, so he took him to travel for half a month and taught by himself!

In his impression, Mr. Shen often waved the ruler in his hand, but rarely dropped it!

"Sir, do you mean to invite Mr. Shen to come out of retirement and serve as the right prime minister?"

"That's right!"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and when he mentioned this person, his face showed a touch of respect: "Mr. Shen has the character of a scholar. Although he is good at writing, he is not pedantic. He is weak in body, but strong in will!"

"Building a church outside the palace wall is a representative figure of the poor family, and he is also very famous among the scholars in the world!"

"If we can invite Mr. Shen to come out of retirement, we will definitely be able to shock the court!"

"Your Majesty will definitely not refuse this matter!"
