Chapter 67: Assassination
The next day, Mrs. Chen prepared a carriage of food for Yushi, and asked Sun Li, a young and strong coachman in the house, to follow him, in order to protect his safety on the road.
Chen Yushi looked at the car full of food, and said in embarrassment: "Xiaoyu, I'm going to investigate the case, and I'll come back as soon as the case is investigated, not to live permanently, why are you getting so much food?" β
"Master, Tianyuan County has been suffering from disasters and famines for some time, and it is estimated that there is nothing to eat anywhere, with these, you will not starve when you get there."
Chen Qing knew that his wife was also kind, so he didn't refuse.
Bidding farewell to his family, Chen Qing rode a fast horse and Sun Li drove a carriage full of food, rushed to the palace, and arrived at the palace gate, Chen Yushi asked Sun Li to wait outside the palace, bolted the horse to the stone pillar at the palace gate, and went to the early court, and when the early dynasty was over, the emperor stopped Chen Qing and said: "Aiqing, you and Xiao Lizi come to my dormitory, I have something to explain to you." β
The two followed the emperor and came to the palace, and the emperor looked at Chen Qing and said: "Chen Aiqing really doesn't hide it, I sent you to Tianyuan County this time, I didn't really want you to help the people sow food, but I really had other plans." β
Gonggong Li on the side teased; "Your Majesty, I thought you were going to overdo it, and let Chen Yushi learn to grow vegetables and make flowers. It turned out that there were other plans. β
The emperor smiled: "Chen Aiqing, I suspect that Li Liucai not only embezzled the treasury money, but even he embezzled the disaster relief funds this time, I sent you to Tianyuan County this time, I want you to investigate and secretly visit to find out the evidence of his embezzlement of disaster relief funds." I condemned him. β
"Your Majesty, you said that Li Shangshu even dared to embezzle disaster relief funds? No way! Chen Qing said incredulously.
"What would someone like him dare not do." Gonggong Li pursed his lips.
"You still say he's wrong, aren't you relatives?"
"Who is related to him." Gonggong Li glanced at his mouth.
"You are all surnamed Li, and you may have been a family five hundred years ago." The emperor teased.
Gonggong Li said righteously, "The emperor's surname is Li, are we all a family?" Besides, people like him, even if they are relatives, I don't recognize them. βγ
The emperor smiled: "Are you considered a righteous murderer?" β
"Okay, Your Majesty, what else do you have to explain? Let's talk about it! If not, we'll get dressed up and hit the road. Gonggong Li urged.
"It's time to hit the road, Wulong and they have been on the road for an hour. It is estimated that there will be a result soon, now it depends on your cousin in Tianyuan County, and when Wulong completes the task, I am sending them to assist you. After speaking, the emperor waved his hand at the two.
Chen Qing hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the family has prepared a carriage for me to eat, saying that it is to eat on the road." Do you think I'm going to bring it? β
"Don't prepare anything, lest your whereabouts be revealed, and these are two sets of men's clothes, you change into them and hurry up." The emperor asked a little father-in-law to bring them a change of clothes.
Chen Qing changed into ordinary people's clothes and trimmed his beard a lot shorter. Father-in-law Li changed into the outfit of a village woman.
The emperor pointed to Gonggong Li and said to Chen Qing: "You will be husband and wife from today onwards, remember that you are going to Tianyuan County to recognize your relatives." β
Chen Qing looked at Father-in-law Li's half-male appearance and smiled.
"Xianggong, let's hurry up!" Gonggong Li deliberately said in a thin voice.
Chen Qing smiled. The two said goodbye to the emperor, went to the royal horse room to pick a war horse, and went out of the palace gate, Chen Qing saw that Sun Li was still waiting there, and hurriedly took the luggage in his hand and said: "Xiaoli, we don't need these foods, Tianyuan County has everything to eat, you go back and tell Mrs. SΓΉ, let her not worry about me." β
Looking at his master's dress as a civilian, Sun Li said embarrassedly: "Master, it was Madame who asked me to protect you, these foods can be left, and the slave will go with you no matter what, and when I go out, Madame has repeatedly told me to protect you well." β
"Let's go back! It's good that your lord has our family to protect you. Gonggong Li said softly.
Seeing that Sun Li frowned, Chen Qing said with a smile: "Xiaoli go back!" Tell Mrs. SΓΉ that you can rest assured, I have Gonggong Li to protect me. β
Sun Li grinned, he was still wondering just now, why did his master change the clothes of ordinary people, and came out with such a man or woman, it turned out to be a eunuch, no wonder he spoke softly.
"Then the master will be careful all the way, and the slave will go home."
Seeing that Sun Li was about to drive the carriage away, Li Gong hurriedly stopped and said, "Slow down." β
Sun Li blinked: "My lord, you have something." β
Gonggong Li smiled, walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and took a pocket of snacks from the carriage.
Sun Li watched him take off the dim sum and put it on the back of his horse, and also took a bag of baked cakes and put it on Chen Qing's horse.
Chen Qing smiled; "Xiaoli, go home!"
Seeing Sun Li leave the palace gate, Chen Qing and Gonggong Li flew on their horses. All the way to Tianyuan County.
Qian Biao and the others had long been ambushed in the mountains and forests fifty miles away from the city, Wu Long, Wu Hu, Tianyu, Sicheng, four guards and dozens of subordinates surrounded this carriage and rushed all the way out of the city.
Immediately, Wu Hu looked at Wu Long and asked, "The emperor asked us to protect such an empty car, and I don't know if we can lure the enemy out?" β
The plan of the emperor and Gonggong Li will not go on a business trip, you and I should be careful, didn't Gonggong Li say it. Be extra careful of the grove fifty miles out of the city, where the robbers are most likely to do it. β
As he spoke, he got closer and closer to the grove, and Wu Long whispered an order to his subordinates: "You all pay attention to me, the robbers are very likely to be in front." β
When they were halfway there, they heard shouts of slaughter on all sides, and a group of robbers rushed to them, and one of them commanded them: "Pull out the men in the carriage for me, and I will see a group of minions." Rushing up towards the carriage.
Wu Long glanced at Wu Hu and the other envoys, and the four of them rode horses to surround the people who gave the order, Qian Biao wanted to take advantage of the chaos to catch Chen Qing and take his head in exchange for 10,000 taels of silver and a dart game, to his surprise, the four guards did not protect the carriage, but surrounded him in the middle.
Looking at the guards approaching him, Qian Biao shouted to his subordinates: "Little five, six sons, come here, your eldest brother and I are surrounded by people." β
Looking at his subordinates, they have long been tied up by the soldiers.
Wu Long looked at Qian Biao, who was shrunk into a ball, and pouted: "With this little ability, you dare to rob it." β
"Uncle, just spare me! It's not that I'm coming to rob you, it's Li Fugui, Li Shangshu's son, he forced us to come. said that Chen Yushi was sitting in the carriage, and asked us to kill Lord Yushi. βββ
