Chapter 2 Hidden Orchid

When Fu Xuan woke up from the sickbed, he found that he was surrounded by people, his aunt, brother, friends, nurses, and maids were all there, and all eyes were staring at him, with concerned and anxious expressions on his faces, which really startled him, and his instinctive first reaction was to move to avoid their gaze. www.biquge.info It doesn't matter if you don't move, you can't move when you move, and when you move, you find that you are in pain, and you can't help but let out an "oops" moan. Zhao saw Fu Xuan moaning in pain again, thinking that the wound was ruptured somewhere, and he was distressed and anxious to shed tears.

Seeing that her aunt was so sad for herself, Fu Xuan hurriedly squeezed out a smile and comforted weakly: "Concubine, Fu Xuan...... Unfilial piety, you are worried......"

Zhao laughed and cried, and wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "Silly child, your concubine is happy if you are fine." ”

The maidservant who had just been sent out to report to the imperial doctor that "Fu Xuan has woken up" was leading a large group of imperial doctors to the Fu Xuan house at this time. A group of old men over half a hundred years old were following behind the maid at the fastest speed in the year of Ear Shun, and they didn't dare to slack off for a moment to diagnose and treat Fu Xuan.

When everyone in the house saw that the imperial doctors were coming, they hurriedly made a gap for the imperial doctors to diagnose and treat. After a while, after the doctors finished the diagnosis, the leader said to Zhao: "The most dangerous time has passed, as long as the wound is treated on time, the medicine is taken on time, and the rest and conditioning are good, there will be no big problem." Everyone hurriedly thanked them. The leading imperial physician hurriedly said modestly: "It is the Xie family's deep blessings, the son's physical foundation is good, it is not easy to escape from such a serious trauma, and there will be blessings in the future." ”

The maidservant accompanied the doctors out to take care of the follow-up affairs. Everyone gathered around Fu Xuan again, as if for them, Fu Xuan's face couldn't be seen enough.

Zhao had stopped crying at this time, and turned to a relieved tone: "Xuan'er, you can frighten the concubine. If you have something three games and two shorts, how can I be worthy of your mother, Princess Nankang, who went first. After that, the circles under his eyes were red again.

"Concubine, isn't my brother here? ”

"Yes, yes. Zhao burst into tears and laughed, and responded again and again.

Su Zhi, who had watched for a long time without saying a word, really had a thousand feelings in his heart at this moment, and he had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say to Fu Xuan, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to silently endure by the bedside, staring intently at his best friend who had played with him until he was big. Fortunately, Fu Xuan glanced at him and fully understood his intentions.

When they were young, Xie Quan and Wang Shi'an came in a hurry. Everyone in the house hurriedly got up and saluted, Xie Quan naturally had no time to take care of this, and went straight to the head of Fu Xuan's bed.

Fu Xuan was very embarrassed to see a group of relatives and friends surrounding him, and now his father and Uncle Wang came to see him, the dignified eight-foot man could only lie on the bed and be taken care of, or a martial arts cultivator, he was even more ashamed, struggling to get up and salute, although he also knew that it was impossible, but he still forced his body to move his body and wanted to try, of course, in exchange for only heart-rending resistance.

Xie Quan comforted his son on the bed, looked his eyes up and down with a slight tremble, and then pursed his lips and said nothing.

Fu Xuan tried his best to squeeze a smile out of his father, in fact, the corners of his mouth had been trying to keep a reassuring smile on the corner of his mouth since he found out about his situation, but he was too weak to smile well.

Elder Lao was worried, and Fu Xuan was very ashamed. Now that it is fine, please don't worry about Uncle Wang and Father. ”

Xie Quan asked solemnly, "Has the imperial doctor come to see it?"

"After coming, I said that I would clean the wound properly, take the medicine on time, and the rest and conditioning would be fine. Jin Ting replied.

"Fuxuan's business, I want you to worry about it more. ”

"Respecting my brother is a matter of Jinting's responsibility, and I don't bother to say it. ”

"Brother is ashamed, there is a younger brother to take care of ......"

Although Wang Shi'an is a first-class big Sima, he has led soldiers on the battlefield, and he is used to seeing the sword and blood, but when he saw the scene of Fu Xuan in front of him, he really couldn't bear it, and turned to Su Zhi and instructed: "Wang Xie and the two families are close, you come over and take care of your brother." ”

"Of course. Su Zhi lowered his eyes and replied.

As we spoke, the sky had darkened. Xie Quan turned his gaze back to Fu Xuan's face, and instructed everyone: "Lord Wang and I have something to ask Xuan'er, you all go down first." ”

Everyone retreated, and only Xie Quan's father and son and Wang Shi'an father and son were left in the room. Xie Quan leaned over and stared at Fu Xuan, and asked in a dignified but gentle tone: "My father knows that you are seriously injured at the moment, but there is one thing that my father and Uncle Wang must know immediately." ”

Fu Xuan was also a man of wisdom and replied, "The child understands. It's a pity that the murderer was never seen. ”

Fu Xuan tried his best to recall something, closed his eyes and frowned, and added: "That night, the child drank with Zhang Ergongzi and Yu Gongzi, and after three rounds of wine, he was still not happy, at this time, Mama sent a geisha to perform at the door, and when the geisha talked about the piano for less than half a song, suddenly the lights went out, and the child felt a pain in his chest and abdomen in the dark, and then there seemed to be a sharp thing in his back, and then he was completely unconscious. What's going on? Zhang Gongzi and Yu Gongzi are okay?"

Xie Quan closed his eyes and shook his head and sighed lightly: "Do you still have an impression of this famous geisha?"

"I've never seen it before, it's a new face, but it's a good piano. She...... Call yourself Le Yao. ”

"Le Yao, does she have any characteristics?"

"The body is as slender as a willow, and the timbre is gentle and gentle. Covering their faces with veil, they are similar to other geisha and have no obvious features. Isn't it?"

"The child has a problem, and now he wants to come to the strange place, and he doesn't dare not report it to the two elders. Su Zhi, who suddenly spoke in the corner, attracted the attention of the three of them. Su has always been restrained and humble, and what he wants to report at this moment must be something important.

Su Zhi "plopped" to his knees, his expression was as painful as ten thousand ants devouring his heart, and said: "The child is guilty! Uncle Xie also knows that Fu Xuan and I have been playing together since we were children. But yesterday, Lord Sun Yuan's righteous son suddenly sent someone to invite the child to the house, saying that there was something important to discuss, and the child had to go. However, when the child arrived at the house, he found that there was nothing important, just a banquet to enjoy with other sons. If the child had seen through this conspiracy earlier, flatly rejected the invitation of Lord Sun's son, and went with Fu Xuan, Fu Xuan might not have ......."

"Silly boy, get up. Xie Quan reached out to help Su Zhi's arm, "Xuan'er caused a disaster, no one expected. The murderer is ruthless, and if you go with you, maybe there will be two people lying on the bed at this moment. Fu Xuan Xu is destined to have this catastrophe, I can't complain about you, don't blame yourself. ”

Fu Xuan also reached out to help Su Zhi in advance, but when he moved slightly, his whole body was in pain as if he had been torn apart by Wan Jun. Although Su Zhi fell down in front of Xie Quan and Wang Shi'an's knees, he didn't leave Fu Xuan for a moment, he saw Fu Xuan struggling slightly, and he knew Fu Xuan's intentions, and he was afraid that Fu Xuan would be injured again, so he hurriedly got up and retreated to Fu Xuan's hospital bed, leaning on the bed rail and staring at his friend.

When I was young, the family came to report that the wine and food had been prepared in the Huxin Pavilion.

Xie Quan's banquet for entertaining friends and guests is usually held on the Huxin Pavilion in Xie Mansion. Xie Quan is a person who pays attention to elegance, and the mansion was originally built near the water, which was to take a fancy to the natural lake stone in the center of the water area behind the courtyard. Xie Quan's skilled craftsmen polished and transformed, built a pavilion with lake stone as the base, the pavilion spine pavilion pillar carved with exquisite patterns, not only carefully decorated with vanilla waterscape, but also moved many beloved ornaments to this pavilion, the pavilion Xie Quan is personally supervised, to the time of production, sure enough, the mood is elegant, the interest is extraordinary, can be called Xie Quan's proud work. When the spring is warm, Xie Quan has nothing to do, and he is willing to read and write in this court, and if he drinks and has fun with his best friends, he must be in this court. It's just that today, Xie Quan and Wang Shi'an came to this Huxin Pavilion not to drink and have fun, but how can they talk without wine, without wine, they are not in a system, plus drinking to warm up, the wind on the lake on the night of March will not feel cold.

"What does Brother Xie think of the case so far?" Before he could take his seat, Wang Shi'an asked urgently.

"Brother Wang, you still have that temper, and you haven't changed at all. Sit down and say. ”

"Your son has such a big incident, but you are not anxious. ”

"I never thought that the wildfire of the gate valve battle would have burned to the next generation so quickly. Xie Quan shook his head and sighed.

"The children have also reached the age when they should participate in politics. ”

"Earlier, Zhang and Yu came here. Lord Yu is still an only son, and it is really sad to see this. The two adults have always been humble, do not make enemies with others, and do not participate in the party struggle of the gate valve, this time the disaster is all because of the Xie family's involvement. ”

"Although the official positions of Zhang and Yu are not high, they are the officials of the court after all, and they are really bold to openly assassinate the son of an important minister at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"

"The criminal department interrogated them for a day and a night, and the information they received was the same as what we knew earlier, nothing more than the scene after they found the stabbing in the room, and no one knew what happened in the room when they were stabbed. ”

"It's a huge workshop, and the fight in the room is so fierce, how can there be no one who pays attention?"

According to the handyman who waited in the corridor on the second floor, the workshop was a place of sound and color, and the noise was everywhere, and occasionally there were guests who were drunk and smashed things, and they would be compensated afterwards, so the handyman usually did not easily break into the guest's room, and last night the handyman saw that the lights in the dog's room were all turned off in an instant, and the last time the candle was extinguished, there were guests who tried to do indecent things to the geisha, and this is absolutely forbidden in the workshop, and the handyman was afraid that something would happen so he went to take a look. ”

"Then when he went, did he see the murderer?"

He said he hadn't seen it, and that it was pitch black inside the house, but there was no movement. It's not surprising that the dog has never seen it, let alone the miscellaneous servants outside the door. ”

"Send Su Zhi away, let Fu Xuan be alone. When assassinating, extinguish the candle first, and then do it, in case you don't get your hands on it, it won't be exposed, and it's quite well deployed. Wang Shi'an analyzed, "From the time the handyman found the abnormality to the time he rushed to the room to confirm the situation, and then went downstairs to ask for help, the interval between the time was so short, the murderer had to commit both the murder and the escape, if it was not done by Zhang and Yu, there was only one possibility - a well-trained killer." ”

"And this killer is not a top master, not enough to defeat one against two, so he will send Su Zhi away that night, leaving the weak Zhang and Yu sons. ”

"Brother Xie is extremely right. Wang Xie's two families, spoiling and humiliating the other family, there is no reason to protect the Wang family and seek revenge against the Xie family, the only explanation is that the murderers can't kill the two. This is quite in line with the characteristics of geisha crimes. So, where is this geisha now?"

This is the biggest suspicion in this case. Xie An said word by word, "The whereabouts of the geisha that night are still unknown." ”

"So Brother Xie just asked Fu Xuan for confirmation of the geisha. ”

"Exactly. Fu Xuan said that the geisha had been sent for Mama, but Mama had not mentioned the matter under severe punishment, and there had never been a geisha named Le Yao in the workshop. It seems that the teaching workshop does not know about this. ”

The dishes in front of Wang Shi'an did not move, and the originally warm wine was also put to cold.

"If this is the work of this famous geisha, how did she escape?"

"I don't think I escaped through the main entrance, in that case I would have collided with the crowd that rushed to save people. The Criminal Department deduced that he had escaped by jumping out of the window on the second floor, and when the people sent to search the grass behind the workshop, they found blood stains on a hard stone, and the blood stains also extended along the footprints for a while, but they disappeared soon after, and it is possible that the person was not seriously injured, or was rescued by someone. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs has ordered the city gates to be closed and the whole city to be placed under martial law. ”

"Since the Criminal Department has laid a net, it will be a matter of time before this person is found, and the truth will come out. ”

"If only things were that simple, I'm afraid that by the time we find that person, she is no longer alone, but ......"

The cool breeze slowly poured through the lake pavilion, stirring Wang Shi'an's gray sideburns. The herbs on the edge of the pavilion rustle in the wind.

He dragged his jaw and pondered for a moment, and then as if he had an understanding, he cast a sharp gaze on Xie An's face: "So, who does Brother Xie think it is?"

Xie An seemed much more indifferent at this time. He didn't raise his eyes to meet Wang Shi'an's eyes that intended to penetrate everything, he just lowered his eyes, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and then lowered his head and slowly spit out: "Who is it, doesn't Brother Wang already have an answer in his heart?"
