He Jingyan reached out and touched Li Jingjing's soft bird hair, but he didn't hide it, nodded and promised: "Don't worry." There is no danger in this matter, Qinglang just went with me to go through the motions. ”

Li Jingjing held He Jingyan's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Uncle He, the two life-sustaining qi ginseng pills are for you and my eldest brother. ”

"Master has already instructed me. Thank you. He Jingyan picked up Li Jingjing, walked out of the courtyard gate, and saw her leave in a small soft sedan chair, so he went to change his armor, rode a thousand miles of horse, and joined Qin Yue, who had been waiting outside the mansion gate for a long time.

There is no rain in winter, and the cold wind by the river is cold and biting.

Two teams of hundreds of soldiers in armor rode military horses and galloped on the official road, and the hundreds of soldiers in front of the team all had black faces, fierce eyes, and murderous spirits, and there was a great momentum of one person against a hundred people.

When it was less than five miles away from the gate of Tanzhou, the cavalry team unfurled a bright yellow banner with an ink character "tiger" written on the front and a black roaring tiger painted on the front.

The gate of Tanzhou was wide open, and the twenty soldiers guarding the gate had already seen this army and quickly dispersed the people inside and outside the city gate.

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "The Tiger Ben Army bears the emperor's order, so give way as soon as possible." The sound was as loud as thunder, and it dispersed from the city gate in all directions, echoing for a long time.

Before the people could react, the team galloped past, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Soon the biggest incident in more than ten years occurred in Tanzhou Mansion, but in just half an hour, from the officials to the poor, the streets and alleys were in an uproar.

When today's son He Dong sent He Jingyan and the founding prince Li Yunxiao to lead the Tiger Ben Army to copy the Hunan Provincial Governor's Mansion.

He Jingyan announced on the spot that the governor of Hunan Province had committed seven felonies such as perverting the law for bribes and assassinating officials, and would be immediately imprisoned and beheaded tomorrow, and his eldest son and second son had committed five felonies and were beheaded on the same day, and the rest of the family members and slaves were all military slaves and distributed to the north overnight.

In the evening, a middle-aged couple with pale faces and declining eyebrows came to the side door of the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion, and they gave a silver ticket of 100 votes to the door slave, asking to see Qin Yue and his wife.

Qin Yue was not in the mansion, so he had to report to He Huishu, put the silver ticket on the table, knelt down and said: "Second lady, the seventh master of the family said that it was a matter of human life. ”

He Huishu said coldly: "At the beginning, I didn't agree with them giving their daughter to the governor as a concubine. They were very capable, and they crossed the Guogong Mansion and stuffed their daughter into the Governor's Mansion in a daze. Now that the governor's mansion has fallen, and their daughters have been reduced to military slaves and sent to the north, they want to come to me. What did you do earlier? ”

Mennu knelt on the ground and did not dare to come out.

He Huishu continued: "Your Majesty ordered the Huben army to raid the house and take people, and the army of Hunan Province is only cooperating, but I am afraid that the Governor's Mansion will go through the net, and all the people in this mansion will definitely be registered, where can I save people." ”

Sister-in-law He was afraid of being angry with He Huishu, so she hurriedly said: "Second lady, is it okay for the slave and maid to go back to them?" ”

"It's useless for you to go and talk to them. They're going to hate me. He Huishu shook her head, asked the door slave to return the silver ticket, waved her hand impatiently, and said, "If there is another incident, don't come to report it." ”

Mennu trotted back to the side door and stuffed the silver ticket to the middle-aged couple to hurry away.

"It wasn't our husband and wife who wanted to send their daughter to the Governor's Mansion, but a decision made by a few elders." The middle-aged couple cried loudly, and when they saw the door slave closing the side door, instead of wasting time, it was better to go directly to the Founding Marquis Mansion to ask He Jingyan's master Li Bing.

At night, dark clouds cover the sky and the earth, the winter wind is cold, the gate of the Founding Prince's Mansion is closed, and the two red lanterns in front of the door are shaking in the wind.

The middle-aged couple went to the three side doors, but they were all closed, so they put their ears to the door, heard someone talking in a low voice, and hurriedly called the door loudly.

The man inside shouted: "Our Hou Ye has an order, no one is allowed to enter or leave." Leave quickly, or you will be executed on the spot for attacking the Hou Mansion!" ”

The middle-aged couple was desperate, so they went to the Guogong Mansion of Tanzhou Academy with an attitude of trying.

Qin Minye was playing chess with Li Quai, and after listening to the door slave explain the matter, his heart softened and he got up to meet him, and said bluntly: "At the beginning, no one in this family affair agreed to it, and whoever agreed, you will go to whomever it is." ”

The middle-aged couple knelt down and kowtowed with tears in their eyes.

Qin Minye thought about it and said, "If you really want to save the twenty-fourth cousin, it is better to go directly to the Northland military camp and wait for the wind to pass and ransom her with heavy silver." ”

"The money is in the hands of a few elders, and we have a total of one hundred taels of silver, how can there be heavy silver." The middle-aged couple cried breathlessly.

Qin Minye shook his head and said: "I still said what I said just now, whoever agreed to this family affair at the beginning, you will go to whomever you want." ”

When he entered the courtyard, he instructed the doorman to close the door for the past few days and not let outsiders in.

Li Quzhi stood in the corridor and heard it clearly, thinking of the message brought by his own slave today, Tanzhou has not been peaceful recently, his face showed fear, and said: "Minye, if there is this matter again, you are not allowed to go out." ”

Qin Minye nodded and said, "What Uncle Xiao said is true." ”

After the two finished playing this game of chess, they went back to their respective study rooms to write a strategy, and after writing, they read each other's comments.

Qin Minye said with admiration: "Little uncle has made rapid progress. ”

Li Quzhi smiled modestly and said, "What I wrote is far worse than yours." ”

Qin Minye looked at the neat ink characters on the rice paper in his hand, and praised him sincerely: "Little uncle, you have been in the academy for less than 100 days, but I have been studying in the academy for a few years. Speaking of which, you are far more talented at reading than I am. ”

Li Quzhi put away the strategy and went back to the study to read.

At three o'clock, the two of them washed up in their respective bedrooms and prepared to lie down to rest.

The life of the academy was simple but not boring for Li Quai, he got up early to practice martial arts, read during the day, occasionally went to the suburban study room with his classmates to drink tea and write poems, and went to Dr. Hong to learn the piano every three days in the evening, which was very fulfilling.

After his identity became the founding marquis, the attitude of many people around him changed, and some students from rich and noble families only said a few words to him after looking at Qin Minye's face, and now they are more respectful to him than Qin Minye.

A few days ago, a student wanted to secretly invite him to the Qinglou, but he refused very directly.

He can't forget the ridicule and ridicule of the four children of the Qin family, it is better to calm down and study and practice the piano than to go to the Qinglou with kung fu, and one day go to Chang'an to take the Jinshi exam with his own ability, and then play the piano well, and use facts to prove that they look down on people.

What's more, the Li family's family rules prohibit going to the Qinglou without the consent of the elders. He will never break the family rules in his life.

Suddenly, a man's anxious cry came from outside the courtyard, "The little one is the personal servant of Master Di of the Academy, and there are people who ask for important matters of life. Please open the door quickly. ”

When Qin Minye heard this, he immediately put on his robe and went out, and said in a loud voice: "Quickly open the door and let him come in and talk." ”

Li Quzhi was so frightened in the bedroom that his voice trembled: "What if it's a bad guy?" You can't open the door. ”

Li Qu's sick voice is like the sound of mosquitoes, where can Qin Minye hear it.

The subordinates of the other courtyard, including the slaves and maids, are all skilled in martial arts, but they are not afraid. The two door slaves were ordered to run with lanterns to open the gate.

A young man wearing a gray robe with bleeding from his head walked in quickly, and said hurriedly: "Master Qin, the little master was stabbed in the chest by the gangster just now and died. ”

The young man followed closely behind Doctor Wang's apprentice, and said solemnly: "Master Qin, the knife used by the gangster has been quenched with poison, and it has stabbed Master Di in the chest again, and our Doctor Wang is afraid that moving him will lead to death." ”

"Master Di was assassinated." Qin Minye's face was shocked and worried, and he turned his head to see that the light in Li Quai's bedroom was bright just now, and he didn't know when it went out, so he said, "Little uncle has rested." I went to the Hou Mansion to ask my cousin. ”

"Minye, the black light is blind, what if you run into gangsters on the way out of the academy?" Li Quzhi didn't fall asleep at all, but instinctively blew out the light in fright.

His four personal servants Li Kai, Li Xin, Li Shi, and Li Zhan were disabled, but they reacted extremely quickly and stood outside the door as soon as possible.

Li Kaijin said: "Young Master Qin, what the second master of my family said is very true. Today's Tanzhou is not peaceful, the head of the academy Di was stabbed, maybe it was the Hunan Provincial Governor Yu Sin, to let our Hou Ye or you leave the academy late at night, fortunately, on the way to capture you as hostages, and exchange the three of the governor's father and son. ”

Qin Minye's face changed, he really didn't expect it to be so far-reaching.

The young slave knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily and cried: "Doctor Wang said that the life of the little master hangs by a thread, and if he does not pull out the knife within two hours, he will die." ”

"Young Master Qin, the more critical it is, the more we can't mess up." Li Xin shook his head at Qin Minye and said slowly: "If a person is saved, he has to think of a proper way. ”

"There is a life-saving pill here, take it to Master Di to eat, protect him from death, and send him to my house to find my niece." Before Li Qu's words were finished, he opened a gap in the bedroom window, stretched out his right hand, spread out his palm, and there was a pill the size of a gray soybean lying in his palm.

The young slave knelt down and stepped forward to take the pill carefully, kowtowed in thanksgiving, and hurriedly left with the doctor.

Qin Minye asked people to close the door tightly, and called four slaves to patrol all night to prevent the gangsters from climbing the wall to come in and commit murder, and then slapped open the door of Li Quai's illness, and saw that he was dressed neatly and lit the lamp, and said with concern: "Little uncle, I will sleep in the same room with you today, if there is something, I will take care of it." ”

Li Quzhi was afraid, and nodded hurriedly.

The two lay down but couldn't sleep, worried about Di Yujie's life and death.

At two o'clock, a carriage got off the official road and galloped to the west gate of the Founding Prince's Mansion with two big red lanterns and stopped.

Doctor Wang hurriedly got out of the carriage and tapped the door and shouted, "Master Di Yujie of Tanzhou Academy was assassinated by a murderer in the teacher's house an hour ago and was seriously injured. Xia Guan is the prince of the Tanzhou Academy Medical Bureau, and he brought Master Di to ask the lord of Jing County to give him medicine to save his life. ”

The servant guarding the door, Doctor Wang, was Li Jingjing's best friend, but now it was a special period, so he didn't dare to open the door, so he said loudly in the hospital: "Doctor Wang, you are always waiting here, and the little one will go to the old man." ”

In a moment, there was the hurried footsteps of more than a dozen people.

Soon the west door opened half of the door, and Li Li took the lead in coming out, pulled Dr. Wang into the door, and pointed to the carriageway: "Search!" ”

More than a dozen servants with fierce eyes rushed to the carriage with torches, and checked the inside and outside of the carriage, including the bottom of the carriage, all shaking their heads.

The two slaves brutally pulled down the coachman, and dragged Di Yujie's slave and Dr. Wang's two medical apprentices out of the car.

Seeing that these disabled people were even more fierce than the Tiger Benjun, Dr. Wang had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Li Li said loudly: "The old man has informed Miss Hui, Master Di is the Tanhua hand-picked by His Majesty, the pillar of the country, and he must save Master Di's life." ”

Di Yujie's slave was overjoyed, and he immediately did not complain in his heart that he was driven out of the car by the servants of the Hou Mansion.

Li Li shouted: "Open all the west gates." ”

The slaves opened the west gate wide open, and Li Li invited Dr. Wang into the carriage and drove directly into the west gate.

Dr. Wang thought he was going to Yueqing Courtyard, where Li Jingjing lived, got out of the carriage and looked up, and by the light of the lantern, he saw that the moon door outside the courtyard had three big characters written on the moon door, and it was actually the residence of Li Bing and Qu.

He thought about how confused he was, although Li Jingjing was young, he was a dignified second-class county lord, how could he let a foreign man enter the courtyard to see the disease.

Li Bing hurriedly greeted him in a purple robe, his tone was sincere, and he said in a loud voice: "Elder Wang, the medicine room at the west gate of the mansion has not yet been built, so only Di Yujie will be allowed to recuperate here for the time being." ”

Doctor Wang hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said gratefully, "Master Hou, you are too polite. It was really presumptuous for Xia Guan to take Senior Commander Di to disturb him late at night. ”

The four servants of the Moon Meditation Courtyard carried Di Yujie, who had passed out, out of the carriage and into the guest room as Li Bing had ordered.

Li Bing saw that Di Yujie was wearing a green robe with a belt, and a dagger with a black handle with no blade visible was deeply inserted in his left chest, and a large area of the chest of the green robe was stained with blood.

His peach blossom eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Elder Wang, can you use the silver needle to wake up Master Di first, I have a few words to ask him?" ”

Doctor Wang sat on the edge of the bed, took Di Yujie's pulse, and said, "Yes." ”

Di Yujie was woken up by Dr. Wang pricking the acupoint with a silver needle, and when he opened his eyes and saw Li Bing sitting on the edge of the bed through the light, he was very surprised, his voice was weak, and he wanted to sit up and salute, and said, "Yujie has seen Master Hou." ”

Li Bing raised his hand to make Di Yujie not move, and asked, "Who is the person who assassinated you?" ”

Di Yujie's face was pale, and he said weakly: "The person of Governor Tan's history." ”

Li Bing's face was angry, and he said, "Do you have the evidence of Governor Tan's history?" ”

Di Yujie's eyes drooped and he didn't say a word.

At this time, Li Jingjing's voice came from outside, and Dr. Wang hurriedly opened the door.

Li Bing took the opportunity to quickly hold a two-inch diameter round pure gold token engraved with a dragon and phoenix auspicious cloud pattern, put it in front of Di Yujie's eyes, and said in a very low voice: "You open your eyes and look at this token." ”

When Di Yujie saw the token, he was shocked in his heart, and his eyes widened.

Li Bing continued: "Answer me quickly. ”

Di Yujie hurriedly whispered: "The evidence of corruption by Governor Shi and other twenty-seven officials is hidden under a stone with a triangular pattern in the Red Pavilion of Tanzhou Academy in the morning. ”

"You have made great contributions, and I will repay Your Majesty." Li Bing's peach blossom eyes flashed, and he put the token in his sleeve, and when he heard the footsteps of Li Jingjing and Doctor Wang approaching, he raised his voice and said: "Jing Niang's medicinal skills are excellent, she and Wang Lao will definitely be able to cure your illness, you can rest here with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the academy." ”

Di Yujie heard the words, nodded slightly, and said weakly: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness." The lower officials will be ordered to recuperate here. ”

"Wang Lao, Jing Niang, Di Tanhua will be handed over to you." Li Bing left the room.

Li Jingjing came in a hurry, her waist-length hair was only tied with a ribbon, her little face with snowy skin was solemn, and she looked at Di Yujie's serious injury, and asked in a lost voice: "Who have you offended, and you want to take your life?" ”

Di Yujie couldn't tell the truth, and said weakly: "There are too many people who have offended me with this mouth, I don't know who sent someone to kill me." ”

Li Jingjing frowned and said, "You really have to take care of your mouth." This time you were assassinated, and fortunately, the wound was an inch from the heart. ”

"Pharmacist Li, I have given Master Di an internal poison pill, and Master Hou gave Master Di a life-saving pill. Alas, if it weren't for Master Di taking the life-saving pill, how would I dare to move him. Doctor Wang asked, "Do you think you are pulling out the murder weapon now, or are you waiting for tomorrow?" ”

"The murder weapon is too close to the heart, so it's better to dial it out early." Li Jingjing visually inspected the handle of the dagger three inches long, and guessed that the blade that pierced Di Yujie's chest was four inches, but it was winter now, and he was dressed thickly, otherwise he could pierce him through.

Doctor Wang said cautiously: "I now cut his shirt with scissors, and then use a silver needle to seal the acupoints around the wound to stop the bleeding, and then pull out the murder weapon, sprinkle hemostatic powder on the wound, and suture it with needles and threads. ”

"Okay." Li Jingjing had already taken out the medicine jar and medicine bottle from the small basket and placed them on the table, took a small porcelain bottle and put it in Doctor Wang's hand, and instructed: "I have an anesthetic pill here, if you give it to him, he will immediately lose consciousness and enter a deep sleep state, and his body will not feel any pain during the operation." ”

Doctor Wang was very moved and excited: "Anesthesia pills, there is such a good medicine. ”

Li Jingjing raised her head and said, "Last time you were in a hurry, I forgot to give you some anesthetic pills." ”

Doctor Wang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with a few white hairs, and said very confidently, "I'm worried that Senior Di can endure the poison. With the anesthetic pills you made, you don't have to worry about it at all. I will be able to free my hands and feet to operate on Master Di. ”

Di Yujie's face was pale, his handsome face was sickly beautiful, his eyes were grateful, and he said softly: "Thank you two for saving your life." ”

Li Jingjing said deliberately: "You thank my uncle for one less person." He only gave you one life-saving pill. ”

Di Yujie immediately felt heavy eyelids when he took the anesthetic pill, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, when he woke up, it was already bright outside, the sun shone through the paper windows to every corner of the guest room, the mahogany furniture in the room, and the unfamiliar environment made him feel like a new life, and he felt good to be alive in his heart.

He was lying in a cotton quilt with a new satin quilt, his body was weak, his wound was cold, his whole chest was wrapped in cloth, and he didn't feel a little pain.

The slave of the Li family guarding next to him was missing half of his left ear, and he was sitting on a small bench and staring at Di Yujie intently, and said happily: "You are awake, but you want to relieve yourself?" ”

Di Yujie didn't feel it just now, but when he was asked by the house slave, he really felt that his abdomen was bulging, so he was helped out of bed by the house slave, relieved his big hand, and went back to the bed to lie down.

The house slave carried the dung bucket out of the house.

Soon, Dr. Wang, who was sleeping in the next guest room, entered the room with a pair of red eyes that stayed up all night to check Di Yujie's pulse, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said loudly: "Your life is saved, all the poisons inside and outside the body are removed, there is no fever, and you can be cured by just recuperating for ten days." ”

Di Yujie used some liquid food, fell asleep again, and slept until the afternoon, when he opened his eyes, he saw a one-eyed middle-aged man wearing an eye patch sitting in front of the bed.

"Di Tanhua, under Li Li." The one-eyed middle-aged man was wearing a green robe with an indifferent expression.

As soon as Di Yujie heard the word "Li Li", he knew that he was canonized by He Dong as a Zhongsan doctor on the fifth grade because of his great achievements in the north.

He knew Li Bing's other identity yesterday as his immediate boss. Li Li is the most effective cadre in front of Li Bing. Li Li's status in the organization will definitely only be higher than him.

He was assassinated in Hunan Province when he secretly investigated the case. Li Li's investigation of the news in the territory of the Xiongnu in the north will only be more dangerous.

He was solemn and respectful, and wanted to go down to the ground to salute, but when Li Li stopped him, he stretched out his fists from the quilt with both hands, looked respectful, and said, "Xiaguan has already heard of your name." ”

Li Li nodded slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The old man asked me to tell you that Governor Shi and other twenty-seven officials of Tan Governor Shi had all been beheaded in the Xiangjiang River at noon. ”

In less than a day, all officials such as the governor of Hunan Province and the governor of Tan, Shi Shi, were beheaded, their mansions were raided, and all their families were reduced to military slaves and exiled to the north.

Di Yujie was overjoyed after being surprised, his pale handsome face and eyebrows fluttered, and he said excitedly: "Hou Ye's thunderous momentum, none of the corrupt officials can escape." Happy! ”

Li Li's face did not change, and he continued: "Master Hou asked you to recuperate in the mansion, and your entourage will come in later." You write to your family to tell you that you are safe. ”

Di Yujie didn't think about writing a letter to his family, thinking about it, Dean Zhao was alarmed by his assassination yesterday, and he would report to Chang'an soon.

His relatives were far away in Shudi, where the mountains were undulating and obstacles, and when they heard this, they would definitely come immediately.

So he couldn't even take care of eating, so he wrote a text message and handed it to Li Li.

The mysterious organization where he and Li Bing belong has a quick way to send messages. The letter will definitely spread faster than the news, and his family will not be so worried when they read it.

A house slave of the Li family led Di Yujie's entourage in.

The injured head of the attendant was already bandaged with a white cloth, and when he came in, he knelt down in front of the bed and cried bitterly: "Childe, I frightened the little one last night. How are you now? ”

Di Yujie hurriedly waved his hand to let the entourage get up, and said gratefully: "If you hadn't been alert and shouted loudly last night, your son-in-law and I would have really gone to see the ancestor of the Di family." ”

The entourage looked at Di Yujie carefully, and his appearance was much stronger than last night, and he lifted the quilt to look at his wound, the terrible dagger that killed him was no longer there, and was replaced by a white cloth wrapped in medicinal powder.

Di Yujie asked with concern, "How is your injury?" ”

The entourage covered the quilt for Di Yujie, and said carefully: "The little one sat and waited overnight by the west gate of the Hou Mansion, this morning the Lord of Jing County sent someone to bring the little one into the mansion, told you about your illness, personally gave the little one medicine, gave him food, and arranged for the little one to rest in the courtyard of the prince of Yunxiao." ”

Di Yujie and his entourage have a deep relationship, like family, and said movingly: "Thank you so much, Lord Jing." ”

The master and servant had not seen each other for a night, but they had endless words.

The slave of the Li family came in with a food box and set up a table of sumptuous food.

The old slave of the Li family had a gentle face and said, "My young lady said that Master Di can eat eight points full if he does not taboo food, and Master Di's entourage can eat openly. ”

Di Yujie was able to be placed in the courtyard by Li Bing to recuperate, and the Li family was respectful and polite to him.

The entourage had a very big appetite, looking at the table full of food, his heart was less frightened, and when he saw that there were Di Yujie's favorite dishes on the table, he said happily: "Young master, just now the Lord of Jing County sent someone to ask the little one at noon, your usual dietary preferences, and the small one said a few, and this is all done." ”

Li Jingjing, who was grateful to the master and servant, was in the same carriage with Li Bing and Wang Da Yaoshi at this time, escorted by Qin Yue and a hundred soldiers, and set off from the main gate of the Hou Mansion to the official road to do an important business.
