Chapter 258: Intercepting the official sedan chair

The bloody case of Lingfu became a topic of chatter in the restaurant teahouse early the next morning, the red man in front of the dignified emperor, the assassin attack on the mansion killed and injured more than 200 people, even Lingyun's delicate little lady who did not pass the door was also miserably, if it were not for Lin Shiyin in the Flying Eagle Guard camp while recuperating from injuries while making gliders, I am afraid that it would also be a tragedy.

The scorching sun was in the sky, the scorching sun shone on the earth through the clouds, and the pedestrians coming and going on the street looked at Lingfu from time to time, and when they saw the ruins that had been burned by the fire, they were also embarrassed for a while.

In a teahouse at the end of the street, a group of people were discussing the bloody case in Lingfu.

A thin middle-aged man with a small beard held a tea bowl, took a small sip of tea, smashed his mouth, shook his head and sighed, and said to the tea guests at the same table: "Alas, I didn't expect that at the foot of this Son of Heaven, in the dignified land of the capital, more than 1,000 people were infiltrated by traitors, and almost burned down the mansion of the Flying Eagle Wei Ling commander overnight, which is really miserable!" ”

On the side, a dark-skinned Chinese character nodded and took over the conversation: "Yes!" This thief is really bold enough, he actually dares to touch the Ling Mansion, doesn't he know that Ling Ye is a celebrity in front of the emperor? Not to mention his own martial arts, he is even more proficient in the house, isn't this murderer afraid of the pursuit of the Flying Eagle Guard? ”

At the other table, a scholar dressed as a Confucian scholar curled the corners of his mouth, with a hint of mockery, and shook his head and said: "A group of ignorant people only know how to be a long-tongued woman here. ”

When the people around heard this, they all showed displeasure, and they were about to step forward to theorize, but after seeing that the person who spoke was a scholar, they suppressed the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

I only heard someone say, "Your Excellency said that we are long-tongued women, then please tell me what is wrong with what we said?" ”

"Smack"

The scholar opened the folding fan, took a sip of the tea bowl, and coughed dryly: "A group of ignorant people, don't you know the truth that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it?" Commander Ling was in a high position at a young age, and this was a position that ordinary people could only climb up after decades of hard work, so was there no one in the Manchu Dynasty who was jealous? If no one was dissatisfied with Commander Ling, how could there be thousands of people infiltrating the city without anyone knowing, and reinforcements would only appear when Ling Mansion suffered heavy casualties! ”

After listening to the scholar's narration, the surrounding tea guests all showed thoughtful expressions, either pensive or nodded.

After a while, a man who looked like a man dressed up in the rivers and lakes, with a noncommittal expression on his face, looked at the scholar and asked, "Your Excellency said so, is there any evidence!" ”

The scholar shook the folding fan in his hand, glanced around, and shook his head slightly: "Even though Commander Ling is in a high position, there are many hostile forces in the DPRK. For example, I beat Lord Zhou before, and broke Su Ningbo's leg in Su Ningbo's mansion, this is only on the surface, how can you and I know in secret, it is not unusual for there are a few enemies who are willing to spend money to hire killers! ”

This time, after listening to this, no one refuted, and all of them nodded their heads one after another.

The scholar's words made the eyes of a young Taoist priest sitting at a table in front of the window light up, nodded after a little contemplation, casually threw a few copper coins on the table, picked up the sword on the table and walked downstairs.

On closer inspection, this person is none other than Qingyunzi who is ready to break through after bidding farewell to the Purple Void Dao Chief on the Great Wall.

Lingfu

After hearing about last night's incident, Lin Shiyin, who was in charge of making the glider in the Flying Eagle Guard camp, was carried to the Ling Mansion by several people because his legs had not yet healed, and Ma Chunfeng and others, who were in charge of the management of the Huangzhuang, also arrived, and everyone gathered together.

When they saw the corpses gathered all over the ground, as well as most of the mansion that had been burned to ruins, they each showed a sad color.

"Princess Suiping has arrived"

After a shout, Zhu Huijing entered the room where the White Lotus of the Ling Mansion was recuperating from her injuries, surrounded by several palace maids.

"See Princess Suiping"

"Excuse me!"

Princess Suiping moved lightly, walked in front of Zhu Youzhen, and bowed to Zhu Youzhen: "Little sister greets Brother Wang!" ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that it was his sister who came, and finally slowed down his tense face, and forced out a smile and asked, "Jing'er, why are you here?" ”

Zhu Huijing glanced at the pale white lotus lying on the bed, the flower lily on the side and Lin Shiyin, nodded slightly, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "I heard that the house was attacked by assassins, and my little sister is really relieved, by the way!" Have you ever found out who did it? ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and told Zhu Huijing the results of the previous interrogation in detail.

"Have you ever sent a pursuer? If you dare to commit a crime in the capital, you must arrest all these thieves," Zhu Huijing said indignantly.

"Don't worry! The imperial brother has already sent Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and six gates, and I believe that it won't be long before Bai Jianfei will be captured and taken to the capital. Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists, and his face showed a thick murderous intent.

Zhu Huijing nodded, walked to the bed, stretched out her white jade-like hand, grabbed the white lotus's arm and said, "Sister, just take care of your injuries, don't worry too much, otherwise it will have an impact on the injury, and the rest will be handled by the yamen." ”

White Lotus nodded a little weakly: "Thank you princess"

Suddenly, Zhu Huijing seemed to remember something, frowned, turned her head to look at Zhu Youzhen and asked, "Brother Wang, the team of people outside seems to be Wei Zhongxian's people!" How come they are here? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked out the door, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "If such a big thing happens, I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads throughout the Ming Dynasty, if Wei Zhongxian doesn't show up, then it's a little weird!" The reason why this is the case, I'm afraid Wei Zhongxian also wants to tell the imperial brother and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that this matter has nothing to do with him! ”

Zhu Huijing showed a clear expression at this time, nodded and said, "Hmm! Then let him go, but Brother Wang should watch them, lest they do some small tricks. ”

"Don't worry! It was already arranged. ”

Time passed, and at noon, on the street in front of the mansion of Zhou Daoden, a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion University, an eight-lifted sedan chair "crunched" walked towards the Zhou Mansion surrounded by more than a dozen guards.

"Boom"

Suddenly, more than a dozen guards drew the steel knives at their waists and protected Zhou Daodeng's palanquin in the middle.

A leading guard pointed the steel knife in his hand at the Taoist priest standing in the middle of the street blocking the way, and asked with a wary face, "Who is it?" Dare to stop the sedan chair of the official family, don't you want to live? ”

The Taoist priest who was blocking the street was not startled back by the words of the leading guard, knelt on one knee and gave a salute to the sedan chair: "My lord, the villain is Qingyunzi, a disciple of the Wudang faction, and he definitely didn't mean to offend the adult, he just wanted to meet the adult and hope that the adult would be fulfilled!"

Without waiting for the people in the sedan chair to speak, several guards ran forward and put the steel knife in their hands on Qingyunzi's neck, the sharp blades had already cut through the skin shallowly, and bright red blood flowed out of the wound.

"Knock Knock"

Suddenly, there was a sound of fingers knocking on the window in the sedan chair, and the eight sedan chair men slowly put the sedan chair on the ground, and out of the sedan chair came an old man with a white beard, wearing an official robe, and looked at Qingyunzi kneeling on the street with a calm face.

Who is this person? It's none other than the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Daoden, a scholar of Dongge University.

Zhou Daodeng looked at Qingyunzi for a long time and asked softly, "Who are you?" Do you know who the old man is? ”

Qingyunzi was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied calmly: "The villain Wudang Qingyunzi, the adult is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the scholar of Dongge University!" The villain has been waiting here for a long time. ”

"Waiting hard," Zhou Daodeng muttered to himself.

Qing Yunzi clenched his hands into fists, his face was calm, and he said without a trace of worry: "The villain has come thousands of miles to join the adult, and he is willing to sell his martial arts to the adult." ”

When Zhou Daodeng heard this, his tone was cold: "There is no shortage of martial arts people here, old man!" Send it to the yamen. With that, Zhou Daodeng flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned around to enter the sedan chair.

Without saying a word, a few guards prepared to escort Qingyunzi to the yamen.

Qingyunzi didn't resist, and still said in a calm tone: "The villain has real talent and learning, and he is definitely not those who are indiscriminate. ”

Zhou Daoden paused, and said without looking back: "Really talented, what do you use to prove it!" ”

As soon as Zhou Daodeng's words fell, Qingyunzi's arms shook, and the two guards holding their arms shook to the ground, the long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light shone in an instant, and his body was just like a swimming dragon, and his shot was as fast as lightning, and he came to Zhou Daodeng's body in just a few breaths.

Looking around, I saw that the belts around the waists of more than a dozen guards were all cut by long swords, and everyone showed a frightened expression, and the whole person's expression was a little frozen, and they were stupidly stunned on the spot.

Zhou Daodeng turned around and looked at Qingyunzi who was close at hand, without a trace of worry, and said without any emotion: "The sedan chair on the street with a sharp blade to intercept officials, if the old man shouts, I'm afraid you will die a miserable death!" ”

"Adults don't do that!" Qing Yunzi bowed to Zhou Daoden and hugged his fist.

"Oh! Are you so confident? People like you are not crazy, they are the ones who have the guts, the ambitions, and the real talents, which one are you? If you stay with you, what good will it do to the old man? Zhou Daoden asked with interest.

Qing Yunzi bowed down, lifted the sword in his hand, and said word by word: "The affairs of the world are based on the interests between the two sides, the villain gains glory with the help of the rights of adults, and the villain brings the safety of the mansion and the adults, so that the affairs of the Ling Mansion will not appear on the adults." ”

"Bold"

The escort led by him stepped forward to scold Qingyunzi, with a thick anger on his face.

Zhou Daodeng waved his hand: "You should step aside!" ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, Zhou Daodeng looked at Qingyunzi and showed a satisfied smile: "Very good!" Money, beauty, status, as long as the old man has the right, all this will be given to you, but from now on, the old man will let you go east, you can't go west, if you agree, go back to the house with the old man, don't agree to leave now! ”

After that, Zhou Dao got into the official sedan chair without looking back.

Qingyunzi put the sword back into the sheath, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Villain Qingyunzi, from now on, I will look forward to the head of an adult!" ”

At this time, Zhou Daodeng's voice came from the official sedan chair: "Since I have followed the old man, there will be no Qingyunzi from now on, only Zhou Qingyun!" ”

Qing Yunzi, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for the name!" ”
