Chapter 123: Ruthless
Xu Huifang woke up to find that it was already dawn.
"What about people?" Xu Huifang shouted unhappily: "Didn't you tell you that my master came back to wake me up?"
The little maid who had not slept all night ran over with an innocent face: "Mrs. Hui, the master has never returned to the house!" The maid ran to the door to ask, and the governor and the eldest prince did not come back. ”
"Still in Hufu?" Xu Huifang felt faintly uneasy in her heart. In the past, Wang Ye also returned late for deliberations, but he never stayed up all night. I won't really look for Lu Xiuying.
The little maid said timidly: "The maid doesn't know very well. ”
"Come and change your clothes!" Xu Huifang shouted and said to the little maid: "You, go and find Steward Liu for me!"
"Yes!" The little maid saw that Xu Huifang was angry, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran out.
Xu Huifang had just freshened up, and saw Wang Hong running in with tears on his face: "Mother, something happened!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Huifang was startled, and the golden hairpin in her hand fell onto the thick lichen.
"Grandpa is gone!" Wang Hong hugged Xu Huifang's legs, his eyes were red from crying: "Father Hu Shang and his father have already rushed over! They asked Hong'er to go home first." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Huifang only felt dizzy, and grabbed Wang Hong's shoulder: "Who do you say is gone?"
"Grandpa!" Wang Hong buried his head on his mother's lap and cried hysterically: "Grandpa was fine last night, how can you say that it will be gone! Hong'er was frightened. He's the Governor. What should I do?"
"No!" Ren Wanghong cried Xu Huifang just couldn't believe that something had happened to the guild.
"Madam!" The little maid ran back with a shocked face: "Steward Liu has taken the nursing home to greet the master." Master, he suddenly fell ill and fell off his horse last night on patrol."
"Sudden illness?" Xu Huifang took a few deep breaths, and her chest was still very stuffy: "Hong'er." Yes, your grandfather died?"
Wang Hong raised his head and cried: "It was too late last year, and my father and I rested at Father Shang's. In the middle of the night, I heard a report from my subordinates that my grandfather had fallen from his horse and died on the official road in the city. When the doctor came to the rescue, the grandfather had already gone. The doctor said that the grandfather had a sudden emergency and could not be saved. ”
The news of Wang Rui's death soon spread throughout the Western Capital.
When Hu Jinsi led Wang Ye to arrive, the Praetorian Guards had already moved Wang Rui to the largest medical hall in the city.
"Daddy" Wang Ye saw Wang Rui lying in the front hall of the hospital in armor, crying about his whereabouts. Why don't you listen to the persuasion and have to lead the troops yourself! You know that Father Shang has already noticed something, so why do you still take the risk? Daddy, don't you understand? Father Shang wants to protect our Wang family. If you had listened to your son's persuasion, why would you have died violently? Father Shang is a favorite of our Wang family, but don't forget. A tiger is a tiger! Once he disobeys him. How terrible he is! It's all your son's fault, and if your son had tried his best to persuade you, maybe you wouldn't have done it! But since you were a child, when have you ever heard what your son said? You always insisted on going your own way.
Hu Jinsi's face was sad. Stretched out his hand to support Wang Ye: "Ye'er is not sad." Your father gave his life for the country. Glory to death!"
Wang Ye only hugged Wang Rui's corpse and cried: "Daddy's health is so good, and his kung fu is good, why did he leave his son behind?"
A general stepped forward and said, "Father Shang." The Metropolitan Governor suddenly suffered this difficulty, and the soldiers were very sad, but the army cannot be without a commander for a day, and please make it clear to Father Shang!"
Hu Jinsi said in a deep voice: "You first escort the body of the Metropolitan Governor back to the house! The position of the Metropolitan Governor will be temporarily replaced by the Metropolitan Protector Wang Ye!"
"Master Shang's father!" Wang Ye knelt and hugged Hu Jinsi's legs: "Ye'er is grieving for losing her father and has no intention of military affairs, so please don't blame Ye'er for shirking his responsibility." ”
"Okay!" Hu Jinsi patted Wang Ye on the shoulder, turned his head to the general in front of him and said, "Then I will temporarily take over the responsibility of the Grand Governor!"
"Yes!
Although the front of the hospital was guarded by heavily armed Praetorian Guards, they still couldn't stop the prying eyes of people who didn't know why.
An anxious dark line watched Wang Ye caress the corpse from a distance and cried, Hu Jinsi stood aside again, gritted his teeth and turned around and disappeared into the crowd. He wanted to tell Wang Ye that Shangguan Ji had also had an accident, and the body was being transported to the Dadu Governor's Mansion. It was obvious that this was not the time to speak, and as soon as he turned around, he hurried towards the Grand Governor's Mansion.
The crowd was full of discussions.
"It's the Metropolitan Governor who has the accident!"
"How could something happen to the Grand Duke!
"It's right, I heard that he has a sudden illness!"
"I'm not young anymore, and I'm still patrolling all night, it seems that it's not easy to be an official!"
"In terms of age, that Hu Shang's father, but he can be his grandfather!"
"Shhhh
"Let's go, it's better to see less and talk less about this kind of thing. ”
Ah Shun, who came out to buy rice, heard the people next to him talking like this, and hurriedly rushed back.
When Ah Shun came to the Shen Mansion, he saw a cyan carriage parked under the magnolia tree from afar, and said to himself with a slight smile: "I don't know which son came so early." ”
When Ah Shun brought the rice to the kitchen, Mo Forget came out with three bowls of porridge.
"Aunt Mo, is it Second Master Hu or Gongzi Zhou who is here today?"
Mo Forget smiled slightly: "No, it's Li Gongzi." Just put the rice bag over there, and I'll come back and clean it up!"
"Okay!"
Don't forget that when he came to the hall, Li Tianbao was smiling at Qin Qingyu.
"You don't know that there were two guys who wanted to touch my eldest brother last night, and my eldest brother's subordinate was that Bailiwei who was half scared to death! What happened to the result. You can't guess!"
Shen Mingyan saw that Li Tian rushed over early in the morning to laugh and ridicule, and also imitated his tone and said: "Nonsense! We are not immortals!"
"Haha!" Li Tianbao stretched out his hand to take the porridge that Mo Forgot had served, drank two big mouthfuls before continuing: "As a result, the old boy of Bailiwei waited with his brothers for most of the night, and there was no sound at all. I asked him, are you mistaken? He said no! I said then you can continue to wait, the master went to bed! Then I went to sleep. When I woke up, it was dawn, and they were all still waiting there. But my eldest brother couldn't stand it anymore, so he let them all rest. ”
"There was really an accident last night!" Ah Shun had already run to the hall, he looked at Li Tianbao and said, "Maybe it's because of the inspection of the metropolitan governor, you guys are fine." You don't know yet. The Metropolitan Governor patrolled the defense overnight and unfortunately fell ill and died. I saw Father Sho and Tsugo-sama go to see him together. There are all kinds of things outside, but most of them think that the death of the Metropolitan Governor in the line of duty is commendable. ”
"Metropolitan Governor?" Shen Mingyan looked at Ah Shun in disbelief and said, "You heard me right, right?"
"It's true!" Ah Shun said with a glance: "I saw it with my own eyes! Even Father Shang has arrived, and there can still be a fake!" (To be continued.) )
