Chapter 221: Not a coincidence
PS: Plus more
"That's the case......" Rong Chenghan heard Liu Ruoxi say this before he spoke.
It turned out that Rong Chenghan had finished his errand, and he planned to find Rong Chengxiang first. But when he walked to the street and looked at the snowflakes that were still flying and the snow on the ground, Rong Chenghan changed his mind. Rong Chenghan planned to go to Zongxue to pick up Liu Yuwen by the way, and then go to Hanlin Academy to find the second master Liu, and go to Liu's house first. If you want to find Rong Chengxiang, it is not bad on this day.
Because of the snow, when Rong Chenghan arrived at Zongxue, Liu Yuwen had already left in a carriage. Rong Chenghan led people to chase along the road, walked to the front of the drum tower, and found that the pedestrians, cars and horses were in a mess, so he asked his men to investigate.
By this time, the overturned carriage had been lifted up and was picking up the charcoal scattered on the ground. Rong Chenghan urged the horse to come to him, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The man who drove the car seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't care much about the charcoal scattered on the ground, although this person was dressed like a country man begging for a living, but such a behavior did not look like a begging for a living. Rong Chenghan was a little vigilant and sent someone to call the coachman to come over for interrogation.
The coachman was a thief, and when he heard Rong Chenghan's subordinates say Rong Chenghan's name, he was afraid. Rong Chenghan asked a few words, and realized that something was wrong, and when Rong Chenghan knew that Liu Yuwen's car had just passed, because the road was blocked, he had to go around to the alley behind the drum tower, and his natural vigilance immediately made him make a decision.
Rong Chenghan let people watch the coachman, and led people to continue to chase Liu Yuwen all the way. When the startled horse was about to crash and trample on Liu Yuwen's carriage, Rong Chenghan arrived just in time.
What happened next happened in the blink of an eye, but the thrilling extent is almost impossible to describe in words. What Rong Chenghan said was an understatement, but he rode forward, killed the startled horse, and rescued Liu Yuwen from the carriage before Liu Yuwen's carriage overturned on the ground.
was frightened by the two startled horses, and the horse pulling Liu Yuwen's car was also shocked.
Liu Yuwen saved his life. It only hurt his forehead and twisted his foot, and the other people who followed him couldn't dodge, and two of them were seriously injured.
“…… Brother Cheng Han fell from the sky...... The gods are like ......," Liu Yuwen described the scene to Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi noticed that Liu Yuwen's name for Rong Chenghan had changed, and he became closer and closer, and looked at Rong Chenghan's eyes with more admiration, and even some admiration.
"The sky has eyes, and the ancestors have spirits, thanks to Cheng Han'......" Second Master Liu sighed again.
"Dad, nothing happened to you, did you?" Liu Ruoxi hurriedly asked Second Master Liu again.
"I didn't have any problems." Second Master Liu said. When he came out of the Hanlin Courtyard, it was also because he looked at the wind and snow and the difficulty of the road, so he made a slight detour, thinking that he could meet Liu Yuwen halfway. When Second Master Liu met Liu Yuwen, Rong Chenghan had already taken Liu Yuwen out of the alley behind the drum tower. Rong Chenghan told Second Master Liu about the general situation, and asked Liu Yuwen and Second Master Liu to come back in the same carriage.
As for the people who sent out to greet Second Master Liu and Liu Yuwen, because they followed the usual route, they missed it with Second Master Liu and Liu Yuwen. Later, because Rong Chenghan had to deal with the follow-up matters, it was delayed for a while. That's why it's so late.
As for the follow-up, it was not simple, and Rong Chenghan did not hide it, and told Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.
"Those two horses were deliberately waiting on the road. deliberately frightened and wanted to kill Brother Wen. Rong Chenghan saved Liu Yuwen and immediately sent his men to look around.
In the capital, such weather. What are the chances of this happening on such a remote road, when there are two startled horses at the same time? Rong Chenghan was almost at the same time as he saw the startled horse. Doubts arose in my heart. Because Rong Chenghan reacted so smartly, the person who hid in the alley next to him after releasing the startled horse and waited to see the result was caught before he could escape.
Rong Chenghan immediately called the previous coachman to come and ask again. First, there was a carriage blocking the road, and then there was a collision of horses, these were not accidental things, they were a series of schemes carefully set up by someone to take Liu Yuwen's life.
"No wonder my right eye keeps jumping." Mrs. Liu Er was shocked into a cold sweat when she heard this, looked at Liu Yuwen, and was extremely happy.
It's really blessed by God, of course, the most grateful thing is Rong Chenghan. If there is no Rong Chenghan, if Rong Chenghan is not so concerned about their affairs......
Liu Ruoxi glanced at Rong Chenghan quickly, even if she was unwilling, she had to admit that Rong Chenghan had helped them a lot this time. If there is no Rong Chenghan, if Rong Chenghan is not like this......
Liu Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, refusing to think about it anymore.
However, there is still something to face in front of you.
"Who is going to kill Brother Wen?" Liu Ruoxi asked.
"The coachman and the two men who released the frightened horses were both bought by people." Rong Chenghan said, "The three of them are willing to make meritorious contributions to reduce the punishment." I have already asked Zhou Baihu to take the three of them to arrest the person behind the mastermind. "Rong Chenghan came back from the north, and he came back with Liu Cheng and several other brothers in the army. Some of them stayed for a few days and then went to their respective posts. Liu Cheng stayed in Beijing, and the other two made up their minds to follow Rong Chenghan.
One of them, Du Xing Zhou Du Baihu, is now serving in the Longxiang Guard under Rong Chenghan, and the other Zhou Baihu, who was originally the son of the general of the Yongjing Palace, simply stayed in the palace as the commander of the guard. Now in the capital, the one who often guards Rong Chenghan left and right is this Zhou Baihu.
Rong Chenghan's words landed, and the room suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu both sighed slightly. Liu Ruoxi glanced at the faces of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu, and immediately understood that Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu were the same as her, and they already had suspicions in their hearts.
Liu Yuwen is young, and he hasn't formed any hatred with anyone, who would want to kill him so deliberately? killed Liu Yuwen, who can get the benefits?
The point of the answer seems to be very obvious.
"The old lady just sent someone to ask, and the third lady is also waiting for news." Liu Ruoxi thought about it and said, "This matter is still clear to the old lady." ”
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu thought about it and nodded their heads. This incident endangered Liu Yuwen's life, and the ruthlessness of the master behind it could not help but make them both angry and jealous. No matter who is behind it, this incident must not be left alone. Now it is the wisest thing to go and find out Mrs. Liu first.
Everyone went to Mrs. Liu's courtyard, met Mrs. Liu, and explained everything that should be done. When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was also shocked.
"What kind of brute is so bold and reckless, doing such an unreasonable thing. Catch him/Hold him and send him to the yamen, and you must not spare him. Mrs. Liu said, and said many words of gratitude to Rong Chenghan.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu finally succeeded such a son, if it weren't for Rong Chenghan, I am afraid that this time it would be more auspicious.
"I should do it, and I dare not thank you." Rong Chenghan's gratitude to Mrs. Liu was very sincere and low-key.
Mrs. Liu nodded in satisfaction.
Soon, Master Liu and Master Liu San both heard the news and rushed back, and when they heard the whole story, they were also very angry, and they both said that they had caught/caught the real culprit behind it, and they must be severely punished.
Everyone sat in Mrs. Liu's house for a long time, and the sky outside gradually darkened, and the house was lit up. When everyone was anxious, someone outside came in to report that Zhou Baihu had arrested someone and was waiting for orders outside.
"Come in, please." When Master Liu heard this, he hurriedly said.
"Let him bring people in." Rong Chenghan said.
After a while, I heard the sound of boots in the yard, and Zhou Baihu came with someone. The two palace guards escorted a man who had his hands behind his back and a bag on his face.
“…… The subordinates brought people outside the city to arrest this person and came back, and the evidence was conclusive...... "Zhou Baihu reported to Rong Chenghan.
"Okay." Rong Chenghan listened carefully, then nodded, while looking at the person who was escorted in.
The eyes of a room full of people also fell on this person. Everyone is inevitably a little suspicious, why did they cover his face after arresting this person.
"Lift it up and see who this brute is?" Master Liu said.
Rong Chenghan glanced at Zhou Baihu, and Zhou Baihu stepped forward and removed the cloth bag on the man's head. All eyes fell on the man's face.
In the room, except for the sound of surprised inhalations, there was a deathly silence.
It was Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu who inhaled, especially the expression on Mrs. Liu's face, which was completely unbelievable.
The person who was escorted in was clearly Liu Yujiang.
"Subordinates are outside listening to orders." Zhou Baihu took off the cloth bag on Liu Yujiang's head, and then took out the cloth towel in Liu Yujiang's mouth, and then retreated with the guards of the palace.
"Why, how is it Da Lang...... Old Lady Liu couldn't sit still on the couch, and looked around in a panic, as if looking for some support.
"The old lady saved me, I was wronged." Liu Yujiang's face was colorless, and he knelt down with a plop, and shouted injustice to Mrs. Liu.
"Da Lang, ...... you" Old Lady Liu trembled her fingers and looked at Liu Yujiang for a long time, then turned her gaze to Old Man Liu and the others, "How can it be Da Lang?" Is this the wrong person arrested? ”
This last sentence was asked to Rong Chenghan.
"Zhou Baihu has always done things safely, and he should not have made a mistake." Rong Chenghan replied calmly, and while calling in the three people who had been caught/caught earlier, he asked Master Liu and the others to ask. In the end, he called Zhou Baihu and asked him how he caught/caught Liu Yujiang. (To be continued......)
