Half an hour later, Liang Wang Wu Sansi rushed to Liu Guangye's mansion after hearing the news. At this time, there were already crying in the Liu Mansion. Liu Guangye's two sons cried to Wu Sansi, "My father died too miserably, the prince wants to make the decision for us."

Wu Sansi was upset by crying and shouted, "Stop crying."

Liu Guangye's family was so scared that they dared not cry anymore. Wu Sansi walked quickly to the lobby and saw Liu Guangye's body parked in the lobby. The body was covered with a piece of white linen. Several guards stood beside him. Wu Sansi strode in. He was angry and hated. Liu Guangye was the key figure in his seizure of the power of the Censorate. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated on the spot when he was about to be appointed.

"How did you die?" Wu Sansi asked angrily.

The head of the guard who was sent by Wu Sansi to protect Liu Guangye said tremblingly: "Report to the prince, the time for the assassin to catch him is very clever. Just when Censor Liu was about to enter the gate, the guards usually led their horses into the side door without following him. The assassin started to attack at this moment, using crossbow arrows, which were painted with poisonous substances."

"Has the assassin caught it?" Wu Sansi roared.

All the guards were so scared that they knelt down and lowered their heads in panic. The guard leader said tremblingly: "The assassin ran away on a horse and rushed out just when he was closing the gate. We asked the gatekeeper to open the gate. When we went out, the assassin was gone—"

"A bunch of waste"

Wu Sansi kicked him over without waiting for him to finish speaking, "Get out."

Everyone was so scared that they were about to leave, but Mr. Ming, who followed Wu Sansi, shouted, "Wait a minute."

The guards were so scared that they stopped. Mr. Ming lifted the sackcloth and looked at the body, frowned and asked, "How many people are there on horseback?"

"Report to sir, there is only one person"

"Since there is only one person, how could Censor Liu be shot two times?"

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that they could not hide it, and they knelt down one after another. One of them said: "The assassin should be someone else, lying on the roof opposite. The horse rider just attracted the attention of Yushi Liu, and the real assassin seized the opportunity to shoot Yushi Liu?"

"Then haven't you noticed it?"

Everyone shook their heads in a hurry, "It was too chaotic at that time. We don't know how many arrows Liu Censor Liu was shot and was determined to catch the horse rider, but he ignored the assassin on the roof."

Wu Sansi was furious and furious, "Go away from me,"

The guards were so scared that they rolled and crawled away. At this time, Mr. Ming picked up a piece of paper left by the assassin, looked at the words on it, and couldn't help but sneer.

"What do you think about this matter sir?" Wu Sansi asked.

"On the surface, it should be the remnants of Lai Junchen's party to retaliate against Liu Guangye's betrayal, but I think this is just the other party's plan to hide the truth, deliberately creating an illusion for us."

Wu Sansi also felt it was reasonable. Lai Junchen's remnants were basically caught in one go. Those who accidentally missed the net and were too late to escape, so they would not even think of revenge.

He gasped, "Who could that be?"

Mr. Ming said slowly: "Just think about it, who will be the biggest profiter when Liu Guangye dies?"

Wu Sansi suddenly realized, and he slowly gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bitch, I am incompatible with her."

Liu Guangye's death did not receive many sympathy. There were also many people who hated others. Everyone bought wine and meat to celebrate again, thanking the heaven for being eyes and not being missed.

When Wu Zetian learned that Liu Guangye was assassinated by Lai Junchen's remnants, he was really furious and ordered Dali Temple to continue to investigate Lai Junchen's remnants, and no one was allowed to let go.

Li Yuan understood and strictly enforced the imperial edict. He ordered the officials of Dali Temple to arrest all Liu Guangye's confidants. The reason was very simple. These people were also Lai Junchen's remnants. They were only protected by Liu Guangye. Now that Liu Guangye has died, these dozen people have also been arrested.

But another unexpected result occurred in Liu Guangye's death. The appointment of the Censor Zhongcheng was no longer a dispute. On the morning of that day, Wu Zetian issued an order to appoint Mingtang Wei Jixu as the new Censor Zhongcheng. What did this result make many people understand? I am afraid that the assassination of Liu Guangye will be left alone.

In addition to Wu Sansi's scattered and nothing was found in this assassination case, Princess Taiping was also quite annoyed. It was obvious that everyone thought that she had sent someone to assassinate Liu Guangye. Princess Taiping might have the intention, but she did not do this. Or she was not ready, someone killed Liu Guangye for her and made her take the blame for nothing.

"How did I explain this to my mother?"

In the study, Princess Taiping was furious. Her mother investigated Lai Junchen's remnants, obviously thinking that she had sent someone to assassinate Liu Guangye. However, Princess Taiping could not explain to her mother. She was so angry that she slapped the table and scolded Gao Jian and said, "You think you did this without authorization?"

Gao Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "It was clearly not what the princess did, why didn't the princess even believe herself?"

Princess Taiping was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. She held back her anger and said angrily: "Who was that? Framed it for me?"

"Your Highness, the water here is very deep. Maybe it was the secret sent by the emperor, or maybe it was the act of Liu Guangye's enemy, or maybe it was someone who wanted to deliberately raise the internal struggle between the princess and Wu Sansi?"

Of course, Princess Taiping didn't believe it was her mother's sent to do it. How could she be like this with her mother's identity as an emperor? However, Gao Jian's last sentence reminded her, and she suddenly realized something?

Princess Taiping walked a few steps behind her hands, looked at the roof and thought for a while. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was her style of doing things. She was out of the matter, but secretly provoked conflicts between the two factions. Isn’t this the case of the relics?

Princess Taiping was secretly annoyed and couldn't help but say to herself: "The assassination of Liu Guangye must be the one who Shangqing Tower did."

The influence of Liu Guangye's death was far from comparable to that of Lai Junchen. It was only spread in a very small circle and soon disappeared. It did not leave its name forever or leave its reputation for thousands of years. However, Liu Guangye's death made Ji Xu happy. On the second day after his death, the new Censor Zhongcheng officially took office at the Censorate. Princess Taiping became the biggest winner, while Wu Sansi was furious and got nothing.

The whole city of Luoyang was still immersed in the joy of Lai Junchen being killed. Li Zhen and his subordinates also temporarily got a two-day vacation and were busy with their own private affairs. At noon, in the Left Bank Tavern, Li Zhen and Jiuzhi sat at a small table by the window on the second floor in the second floor.

Seeing that Jiuzhi was a little absent-minded, Li Zhen poured him a glass of wine and asked, "Is there any twists and turns in the engagement?"

"Have you had any troubles? In the afternoon, I will accompany Aling's parents to my newly bought house to take a look. I am worried that they will think the house is too small and feel a little nervous." Jiu Zhi said worriedly.

Li Zhen knew that Jiuzhi bought a small house covering an area of ​​about two acres near Nanshi. The area was very good, close to Nanshi, and it was quiet and the house was 90% new. Although Li Zhen had never visited it, he also felt that the area was too small and could not open the scene. He smiled and said, "You kid don't have money, why buy such a small house?"

Jiu Zhi scratched his head and said with a bitter face: "The house price has increased significantly recently. Last time I took a fancy to a five-acre house. The price was originally 600 guan. I thought it was too old and wanted to bargain again. Unexpectedly, the person directly rose to 800 guan, but he was bought by a wealthy businessman. I should have started this small house quickly. I won 400 guan. If it delays for a few days, it will probably increase to 500 guan."

Li Zhen was stunned. Prices have not risen recently. Why did housing prices rise so quickly? What is the reason?

Jiuzhi sighed, "I heard from a group of guards that there are many people who have bought houses recently, all of whom are rich and wealthy families in various states. After all, Luoyang is a capital city, with too much demand and limited land, so housing prices have suddenly risen. Now it's just the beginning, and it may double by next year."

"Did you buy it?"

"He also bought it. Next to Xuanzhen Temple in Cihuifang, the Sanmu house cost 800 yuan. I said he bought it expensive. He said that Old Taoist Yang liked it there, and this kid was very filial."

The two of them drank two more glasses of wine. Jiuzhi suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "My father will be here in two days. I heard that your Li family heads are also here, as if they were specially coming to the capital for you."

Li Zhen’s family concept was very weak and he was really not interested in the arrival of the Li clan leader. He drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile: “In addition, I will tell you another good news. The emperor is very satisfied with our inner guard performance. She decided to expand the inner guard.”

Jiu Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Is it good for me to expand it?"

"Idiot, our inner guards are now at a very low level, because the number of people is too small. Once they are expanded to one thousand, the inner guards will be upgraded to a higher level and officially become a military system. You, the captain, may be promoted to a Lang General."

Jiuzhi's eyes widened suddenly, and her nose was so excited that she gasped, "Is this true?"

"It was Shangguan Sheren who told me that it should be true. The main reason is that I seconded the Qianqi Camp twice. The emperor felt that the inner guard was slightly weak and could not stand alone, so he decided to expand the company, which is why he would have news this month."

Jiuzhi shouted and jumped up. Everyone in the hall looked at him. Li Zhen quickly waved his hand and asked him to sit down.

Jiuzhi stuck out his tongue and sat down quickly. He was so excited that he hit the table with his fists. You know, although the inner guard has great power, his official position is relatively low. The lieutenant is a low-level officer. Once promoted to a Lang General, he will be an intermediate officer. This is a qualitative leap and a general level. He has been promoted to two levels in just two months. How can he not be excited?

Li Zhen took a breath and said, "But then again, not everyone can be promoted to a general for eight lieutenants, and at most three people can be promoted to three, so I just said you are possible."

Jiuzhi suddenly became anxious and grabbed Li Zhen's arm and said, "Old Li, we are both hardcore. I have followed you through life and death for many years. Don't be promoted by yourself and throw me off my brother."

Li Zhen was also in a dilemma. Of course, he hoped to promote Jiuzhi and become his confidant, but Jiuzhi was too experienced and did not make enough contributions. If he was promoted to him, he would probably not be able to convince the public, and the Ministry of War might not be able to pass it.

Among the three generals, Li Zhen first considered Zhao Qiuniang and Zhang Li. Zhao Qiuniang had enough qualifications and had many meritorious contributions. Zhang Li's father was the envoy of Doulu Army, and the Ministry of War was not a big problem. There was also a quota. It should be for Lu Jin or Wang Zongyi. They were old lieutenants. He had promoted Zhang Li in an extraordinary way. If he gave him wine, it would definitely make everyone dissatisfied, so Li Zhen felt very embarrassed.

At this time, Jiuzhi slowly calmed down. Although he longed for promotion, he also understood in his heart that he lacked enough qualifications. He became depressed again and said listlessly: "Old Li, I know in my heart, don't make things difficult for you."
