Chapter 531: Extinguishing the Mouth
Although the green vine was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask anymore, the green vine and the grass didn't dare to ask, and others didn't dare, but someone assassinated the princess, and the assassin was not caught in the first place, so it had to be investigated to the end.
Of course, this is just according to the convention, the actual situation is that the governments encounter this kind of thing are privately investigated, after all, this is not a glorious thing, the small people outside are ignorant, and when they hear that the powerful encounter this kind of thing, they will only clap their hands and applaud, maybe there are some unbearable speculations, thinking that the assassin must have done something angry and resentful, otherwise the assassin is not tired of life, how can he take the risk of assassination?
What's more, the princess is a female dependent, and if it is passed around, it will damage the princess's reputation.
Therefore, whenever this kind of thing happens, all the governments that have the ability to investigate it privately.
But it can't be left unchecked, otherwise the prince won't be able to explain when he comes back, and the commander of the guards in charge of the security in the palace has found the green vine again, and asked her to ask the princess again to see if there are any clues for him to track down, and now there is no way to start, let alone hunt down the assassin, even if the assassin is standing in front of them now, they can't recognize it.
Green Vine had doubts in his heart, and asked if he couldn't, but he couldn't tell the truth to the guards, so he perfunctorily said that the princess was frightened that day, and she couldn't see clearly, and if she really couldn't do it, she should do a good job of defense first to prevent the assassins from sneaking up again.
The Commander of the Guards was a little disappointed, but thinking about it, it was only like this for now.
……
Yancheng Mansion
Zhu Ying listened to Zhang Zhutou's report and was expressionless. Not a word.
However, Zhang Zhutou was a little anxious, and said, "My lord, do you want to go to Dingwangfu to ask?"
"Are you crazy?" Zhu Ying immediately scolded, "It's too late to hide from this kind of thing, and you have to take the initiative to come to the door to find trouble?"
Zhang Zhutou said: "But this king is an important minister of the court, and now he is inspecting the border pass by order, if something really happens to his princess, our government will not be able to escape the blame." ”
Zhu Ying sneered, "Something is really going to happen to Princess Ding, this day is indeed half of the fall." But even if it all collapses. There is no need for you and me to top, there are many people who need to be responsible, and it is not the turn of our Yancheng Mansion to rank ten. ”
"My lord, as a person in the public family, shouldn't you punish evil and promote good?" Zhang Zhutou disagreed with Zhu Ying's attitude.
"It also depends on the object. Zhu Ying looked at Zhang Zhutou's serious face. sighed. "Zhang Zhutou. You've been a headhunter for a while, are you still happy with your job?"
"My subordinates love this job very much. Zhang Zhutou didn't say anything against his will, and he answered without thinking about it.
Zhu Ying nodded. "I think so, during this time, I also saw your performance, you are serious and responsible, you are also enthusiastic, and the brothers below are also very convinced of you. ”
"Your Excellency praised it. Zhang Zhutou didn't seem used to being praised and was a little embarrassed.
"It's just ......" Zhu Ying's words changed, "You are now the head catcher of the yamen, no longer the guard of any family, everything cannot be done according to the previous style, we should put the people first, and get less involved in other things, the Dingwang Mansion has not reported the case, so we don't need to investigate, you have that energy, inspect a few more nearby streets, and catch a few more ruffians who oppress the good? ”
"My lord, shouldn't we treat the case equally?" Zhang Zhutou still couldn't let go of this matter, and said, "Princess Ding, a female streamer, maybe I don't know how to deal with it, maybe we should come to the door and ask you." ”
"Who said that a female streamer is a weak person?" Zhu Ying frowned again, thought about it or softened his tone, "Zhang Zhutou, I know that you are from the Dingwang Mansion, but there are some things that I really can't manage as a small yamen, and it's not something you can meddle in as a headcatcher, so I'm really not at ease, at most when I patrol the streets, just take a walk to the Dingwang Mansion." ”
"It's my lord. Zhang Zhutou is not pestering more, he actually knows that Zhu Ying's words are reasonable, this is indeed not something he should meddle in, but emotionally, he just wants to do more for Dingwangfu, after all, Dingwangfu is like a mountain to him.
Maybe I want to think of what Zhu Ying said, when patrolling the streets, take a walk to the Dingwang Mansion to see if there are any suspicious characters, or ask the former brothers, if there is anything else he can do to help, he really can't do too much.
Zhang Zhutou asked a brother who was close to him before, and learned that there was no clue about the assassin, and that night a group of them, not even the shadow of the assassin was seen, and the guards in the house chased out a few streets that night, and the movement was not small, and he couldn't hide it.
After asking for details, Zhang Zhutou came to a completely different conclusion from the green vine.
He thought that the Assassin must have been wounded that night, but that he must have been extremely good at assassination, and he escaped with his wounds, and if he was wounded, he could not have escaped too far, and perhaps needed to heal his wounds, so ask the nearby pharmacy for a clue.
To Zhang Zhutou's disappointment, he asked all the large and small pharmacies in the city, but there were no clues, there were not many people who had been injured recently, and it was impossible for ordinary people to be too seriously injured when they worked, and there were some ruffians and hooligans fighting, all of whom had names and surnames, no unidentified people, or no strangely injured people.
……
Zhang Zhutou inquired about the pharmacy in the city, so that Zhang Yang noticed it and reported it to Su Yirong.
As Su Yirong expected, Chen Liang did escape that night, but he may have been seriously injured, and he didn't know where to hide to recuperate.
Su Yirong nodded, in this way, Chen Liang is still safe for the time being, just for the time being.
If Chen Liang's injuries are particularly serious, he needs to find a doctor to see a doctor, and it is very likely that his whereabouts will be exposed for a long time, and it will be bad if the people in the government catch Chen Liang.
Su Yirong instructed his subordinates to wait at the place where Chen Liang might appear to see if Chen Liang would contact everyone.
Two days later, a little boy who looked like a beggar found Zhang Yang. It is said that he has a friend who is in a private house in the west of the city.
The little boy said that the messenger told him that after the word was delivered, they would give him a penny.
Zhang Yang gave the little boy a penny, but he was afraid that it would be a trap, so he followed Chen Liang's example, found a random beggar on the street, gave a few copper plates, and asked the beggar to go to the house to see the situation.
After making sure it's not a trap. Zhang Yang walked into the house that looked neat.
This house is not an empty house. It's like an ordinary people's house, the kind that can't afford to hire maids and maids, and there is ash in the house, but it's not thick. It seems that the owner has only been away for a few days. Maybe a relative went to go.
Chen Liang will find a place to hide. If you hide in those deserted houses that are uninhabited, it is possible to find them when the government searches. And this kind of owner may miss the house just after leaving the house for a few days, after all, when the government searches, it is impossible to break into the house door by door when they encounter someone who happens to go out, generally speaking, they just shout twice and forget it.
As soon as he got close to the room where Chen Liang was hiding, Zhang Yang smelled a foul smell.
After entering, when he saw Chen Liang, Chen Liang's face was very pale, and his always bright eyes became dim, but when he saw Zhang Yang, his eyes lit up, and he said weakly: "Zhang Yang, you are finally here." ”
"Lao Chen, how did you get like this?" Zhang Yang asked Chen Liang in surprise, and looked up and down to see where he was injured.
Chen Liang was so weak that he didn't say a few words anymore, and pointed to his back.
Zhang Yang took a step forward, and couldn't help but be startled when he saw it, Chen Liang's back was rotten, bleeding black blood, and emitting a foul smell.
"Lao Chen, have you fallen into someone else's way?" Although Zhang Yang asked, in a tone that was indeed affirmative, Chen Liang must have been in someone else's way, and was plotted with venom.
"That woman actually used this kind of indiscriminate trick. Chen Liang cursed hatefully, "After Lao Tzu's injury is healed, he will definitely take the slut to survive and die." ”
Zhang Yang couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Chen Liang is really a person, he ran to assassinate a weak woman, and said that the other party's methods were insidious, and he didn't know how to reflect after failure, but only thought about revenge and anger, which really shouldn't be.
It's just that Chen Liang has reached this point, and he doesn't want to say anything, this matter must be reported to Mrs. as soon as possible, and it is impossible to make an idea.
Zhang Yang took Chen Liang to another secret location, came out and turned a few streets, and saw clearly that no one was following, so he went back to report to Su Yirong.
Su Yirong listened to Zhang Yang's words, and the appearance of Chen Liang that had already been described, thought about it for a while, and said, "You take two people to that house and give Chen Liang a ride." ”
This is to let Chen Liang die, Zhang Yang was a little unbearable, and pleaded: "Madam, after all, Chen Liang was born and died for you, he is like this, it is estimated that he will not last a few days, why ......"
"You also said that he couldn't last a few days, wouldn't it be better to give him a ride and let him get rid as soon as possible?" Su Yirong looked at Zhang Yang sharply, "You have been a soldier, you know that military orders are like mountains, and a soldier like Chen Liang who does not listen to orders should be beheaded?" You don't want to think about it, for the sake of him alone, we changed several residences, frightened, let him die cheap him, besides, the injury you just described is not easy to treat, even in Dajing, you can easily invite a famous doctor, this kind of injury is not easy to treat, and if it is cured, it is a waste person, why bother? Besides, people use such poison to make him suffer the living sin, and after he can't stand it, he will show his flaws, or drag down his companions, we must not be fooled by this. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Zhang Yang retorted speechlessly, now is not the time for a woman's kindness, and the overall situation should be the priority.
Zhang Yang was just about to go out, and Su Yirong commanded him a few more words.
Zhang Yang looked a little unbearable, but finally agreed.
"Zhang Yang, where is the doctor?" The weak Chen Liang saw Zhang Yang enter the house alone, and hurriedly asked, he really couldn't stand the pain these days.
Zhang Yang couldn't bear to tell Chen Liang the truth, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Liang, our current situation is very bad, the government is vigorously searching for you in the whole city, and the city's medicine shops are also being watched day and night, as long as there are suspicious people buying medicine, they will be arrested." ”
"I should know this, who told you to go to the pharmacy in broad daylight to ask for a doctor, you won't tie one up, and the government won't have so many people staring at those doctors day and night. Chen Liang said bitterly, "Zhang Yang, good brother, you go quickly, and when my brother recovers from his injury, I will definitely repay you."
Zhang Yang turned around silently, and just when Chen Liang thought he was going out, he threw over a rope, turned his back to Chen Liang and said: "Old Chen, brother, you can go, don't blame me, we have a task this time, we can't ignore everyone's life and death for you alone, after all, this incident is your own mistake, you can't blame everyone." ”
"Zhang Yang, what do you want to do?" Chen Liang looked at the rope with some horror.
Zhang Yang slowly turned around and said: "Chen Liang, all you can do as a brother is to give you a ride, if you still have any wishes, just tell me, what I can do will definitely do it for you." ”
"No, no, Zhang Yang, good brother, don't ...... like this" Chen Liang begged bitterly, "You and I are brothers who have been on the battlefield together, you can't treat me like this." ”
Zhang Yang said: "Chen Liang, just because we have been on the battlefield together, you should know that the military order is like a mountain, you may not have the order, go to assassinate Princess Ding without permission, and cause a big disaster to your wife, you should bear it yourself, this is not Dajing, we are struggling to hide our whereabouts, how can we take the risk of finding a doctor for you, your injury is not something that ordinary doctors can treat, you better take a good ride, if you don't have the strength, let me give you a ride." ”
"No, I don't want to die. Chen Liang shouted loudly, "I want to see Madame, I have something to say, I can still do a lot of things, I still know some secrets, secrets that are useful to Madame, I want to tell Madame, you tell Madame for me, I have a secret to tell her......
Chen Liang's voice stopped abruptly, and he was lassoed by Zhang Yang with a rope and hung on the beam, making him look like he was hanging.
After doing all this, Zhang Yang said: "Just a few words to you, you should die, as a dead soldier, you can't keep a secret, what's the use of keeping it? Reincarnation in the next life, remember not to rely on a skill and too big, Chen Liang, you are too arrogant, this is the end of today, go all the way, other days, if I am lucky enough to return to Dajing, I will definitely set up a spiritual position for you, please be a monk, I hope you can have a good birth in the next life, and be a rich and noble son." ”
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he put a fire in the house, and then slowly left.
He didn't understand a little, why did his wife let Chen Liang hang him and then let him set fire to the house, isn't this the three hundred taels of silver here?
However, Chen Liang's fate let him know that as long as they obey orders, nothing else matters, and those who don't obey orders will only end up dead. (To be continued......)
