The old lady was so frightened that she lost her mind, but before she could stand up from the ground, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder. At that time, she felt that the shoulder blade was about to be crushed, and she couldn't use half of her body at all.

Immediately afterwards, the opponent pressed his knee on her back, pressing her whole body to the ground.

The old lady couldn't move at this time, knowing that there was nothing she could do to save her life. She used the corner of her eye to see that the person holding her down was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, majestic and handsome. She really knew him.

Weng Honglie, the number one master of Jinyiwei.

"Tie her up!" Weng Honglie commanded loudly. The old lady was completely despairing. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on her face, and then she gritted her teeth suddenly, and her expression changed.

Weng Honglie was experienced and realized at that time that there might be some potent poison hidden in the other party's mouth. Once the assassination attempt failed, he took the poison and committed suicide in order not to leave anyone alive. At that time, Weng Honglie suddenly grabbed the other party's neck, hoping to prevent the poison from spreading, but it was too late.

Later that night, when I looked at the other person, his face was pale.

"Call the doctor quickly." Weng Honglie was still a little reluctant at the time. However, when the doctor arrived and checked again that this man had already died, no one could catch him alive after all.

At this time, the scene was already in chaos. Fortunately, Zhu Di himself was not seriously injured. He quickly directed the civil and military personnel to deal with the aftermath. After all, there were many guards present, and they gradually controlled the situation. Afterwards, there were no statistics.

There were massive casualties.

Jinyiwei Ji Gang immediately ordered the arrest of the old man and his family as a representative of the people, and interrogated them severely. The family also cried out that they were wronged. Afterwards, after interrogating everyone, they understood that this old lady came to Fengyang a few months ago.

It was said that his wife had passed away and he had no children. He was all alone and wanted to find a local wife to support him in his old age. Later, after being introduced, he married this old man as his second wife. The two got married just now.

More than a month.

Afterwards, Jin Yiwei also verified this with other local people, and the confessions were basically consistent. This made it clear that this group of assassins had far-reaching intentions. They started planning months ago, and they went in such a big circle.

Even if Jin Yiwei verified the identities of the people involved in meeting Zhu Di in advance, it would be difficult to find the problem.

In order to avoid the search, the old lady deliberately chose two hairpins as murder weapons, which was even more difficult to detect. After testing later, it was found that the two hairpins were quenched with highly toxic poisons, which sealed Zhu Di's throat upon seeing blood, so she protected Zhu Di.

Although the eunuch was not seriously injured, he died the next day.

Zhu Di was furious when such a thing happened and ordered a thorough investigation. At the same time, he called Ji Gang and other relevant officials responsible for the security and severely reprimanded him. Several of them were dismissed from their official positions at that time.

Ji Gang was lucky. Firstly, he was Zhu Di's favorite. Secondly, the assassination was not successful thanks to Lin Hu and others. Therefore, Zhu Di just reprimanded him without going into details. As for the performance of Lin Hu and others,

Even more so.

Afterwards, Lin Hu and several other people who performed outstandingly in this incident were received by Zhu Di. As a royal guard, Lin Hu didn't see Zhu Di on weekdays, but he mostly glanced at him from a distance. Such a close contact has never happened since his time traveling.

It was the first time, so I was inevitably a little nervous for a while.

"Who discovered the assassin first this time?" Zhu Di asked at that time. Unlike his majestic appearance, Zhu Di's voice was very clear and even sounded a little pleasant.

Ji Gang, who was responsible for introducing Lin Hu and others to the meeting, hurriedly said on his behalf: "This is my subordinate, Jin Yiwei Deputy Qianhu Lin Hu."

After Ji Gang said this, he hurriedly turned around and winked at Lin Hu behind him. The latter immediately understood and kowtowed: "Lin Hu, a humble minister, comes to see your majesty, long live long live, long live long live."

Zhu Di looked at Lin Hu and waved to him: "Come forward and say something, let me take a closer look."

Lin Hu stepped forward immediately. Zhu Di looked at her carefully and nodded: "She is indeed a talented person. How did you find out that the old woman was an assassin?"

When Lin Hu thought about the system, of course he couldn't talk about it, and the other party might not believe it if he did, so he said: "Wei Chen saw that the assassin's behavior was suspicious, and he seemed to have martial arts skills, so he became suspicious. In order to protect your majesty, he

Only then did he risk his life to speak out, and his majesty received great blessings from the sky, so he was safe and sound."

Zhu Di nodded after hearing this: "If you were not loyal to me, how could you have noticed this? This time you are the first to achieve success. When we get to BJ, I will promote you to the rank of Qianhu."

Lin Hu and others were quite surprised when these words came out. Seeing that Lin Hu did not thank him immediately, Zhu Di couldn't help but asked: "Why, do you think this reward is too light?"

Lin Hu hurriedly said: "I don't dare. It's just that Wei Chen was recently promoted to Deputy Qianhu, so he was a little flattered to be promoted so quickly."

Ji Gang also said at this time: "Reporting to Your Majesty, what Lin Hu said is true. He has made many meritorious deeds this year and has been promoted twice in a row. It would be too fast to be promoted to Qianhu now, and there are currently no vacancies for Qianhu in Jinyiwei.

."

Zhu Di couldn't help being a little unhappy when he heard this: "Do you still want me to take back my life? Talents like Lin Hu who are loyal to the country should be hired out of the rules. This matter has been decided. As for how to arrange it, Ji Gang, you can follow

The Ministry of War will discuss it and report back to me afterwards."

When Lin Hu and others heard what Zhu Di said, it was difficult to change the matter, so they immediately accepted the order and thanked him. Later, Zhu Di asked Lin Hu some other information and seemed to be quite fond of him. Later, like Weng Honglie and Nangong Shao, Lin Hu and others

Qing and other people involved in capturing the assassin were received by Zhu Di. Emperor Yongle encouraged everyone and gave them varying degrees of rewards before letting everyone leave.

Soon the news of Lin Hu's promotion spread. Some were envious, others were jealous, and some even hated him. However, most people expressed their congratulations in front of Lin Hu anyway. Some officials even felt that he was being ignored by the emperor.

He thought highly of him and had a bright future, so he began to take the initiative to make friends with him, which made Lin Hu overwhelmed.

Lin Hu finally sent away a group of people who came to congratulate him that day. Standing at the door of his tent, he was full of emotions. Originally, he wanted to do something in the world here, but in just one year, he was able to rise to the top.

Level, he didn't even think of this himself.

Moreover, what is happening now seems to be more and more inconsistent with the Ming history that Lin Hu knows. Of course, Lin Hu also understands that this should be just a time and space with a highly similar setting, or even a fictional one created by the "Big Dream Jianghu" system, not a real world.

The Ming Dynasty he knew, but did that also mean that many things he originally knew would undergo fundamental changes in the future?

"Hey." Lin Hu was lost in thought when suddenly someone called him from beside him. Lin Hu was startled and turned around to see that Nangong Shaoqing had arrived beside him at some point.
