Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Man in the Account
The first to jump down from the carriage was Min Zhiyi, carrying a small medical box in his hand, and hurried inside without saying a word.
The two medicine boys in the back also hurriedly followed with their own medicine boxes.
Although they are fast, there are others who are faster.
didn't wait for a few people from the Min family to enter the door, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves.
The sound was pure, just the hoofs of a fast horse.
There were no carriages.
There is no retinue.
Solo riding.
As soon as they turned their heads to see who it was, they felt the wind blowing in their faces, and the horse had run near, and the man on the horse did not wait for the horse to stop completely, but jumped down with his legs, threw the reins in his hand, and rushed into the door.
Zhao Dayong had already seen that the person who came was Xie Xinzhe, the eldest son of the Xie family, who was a friend of the prince and the eldest son of the Xie family, so he hurriedly stopped the guards who were about to chase after him, and sent another kid to follow him to take a look.
The guards stumbled back. However, after this impact, I probably realized that the defense at the door was not very proper, but fortunately, this person was recognized, if it was a villain, wouldn't there be chaos?
The leader of the guards shouted and transferred several guards who were standing far away to the door, and he simply stood next to Zhao Dayong.
The ordinary guards don't know, but the leader who was arranged to guard the door at this moment knows that this is an extraordinary time, and it is impossible to be careless.
Xie Xinzhe was extremely familiar with this house, and he arrived at the door of Zhao Lianshan's main house in a blink of an eye.
Strangely, the guards in front of the main house didn't recognize any of them.
Unlike the slightly lax gate, the front and back of the main house are heavily guarded, and the people who patrol are all on the hilt of their swords, looking vigilant. The personnel selected are obviously all trained for a long time, and their eyes are solemn and accurate, and at a glance, ordinary people are afraid that they will fall into an ice cave and tremble.
Xie Xinzhe grew up in the capital, his eyes were vicious, and he was very puzzled.
But now is not the time to explore this, Xie Xinzhe stepped forward and raised his voice: "Zesheng, how are you hurt?" I'll come over and take a look. ”
Zesheng is Zhao Lianshan's cousin.
It's just that the guards guarding the door didn't mean to get out of the way at all, but instead swung the waist knife at his side in front of him.
"Let Boss Xie in." Zhao Lianshan's voice came from the bedroom window.
Hearing this, the guards made way of a gap one person wide.
The voice...... It seems to be quite angry.
Xie Xinzhe was a little hesitant, this situation was really weird, as soon as he got the letter, he rushed over, only to say that Zhao Lianshan was seriously injured, but ...... That doesn't seem right.
You won't wade into any troubled waters, will you......
But at this moment, Min Zhiyi and others also came panting.
With the Zhao family's little servant leading the way, they came quickly.
As soon as the door of the main room opened, it was Zhao Yancheng who came out.
Zhao Yancheng is actually about the same age as Wang Duzhong and Min Zhiyi, but his hair is sparse and has a lot of white, so he looks much older.
Seeing that Xie Xinzhe was also reluctant, Zhao Yancheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Shizi, please hurry in." For Min Zhiyi in the back, Zhao Yancheng was much more enthusiastic, and asked anxiously: "Can you bring the medicinal materials to stop bleeding?" ”
Xie Xinzhe frowned, and when he arrived at the door, he could only go in and take a look.
Entering the door was the middle hall, and there were four or five people standing in it, who were gathering together to discuss in a low voice.
Although there were tables and chairs, these people looked anxious and had no intention of sitting.
It looks like they're all healers.
Xie Xinzhe turned to Zhao Lianshan's bedroom familiarly.
There were also two healers in the bedroom, standing and kneeling.
The standing one held the needle bag in his hand with an embarrassed expression, and the kneeling one buried his head and couldn't even see his face clearly.
There was a tent hanging from the bed.
Zhao Lianshan stood next to the tent.
Although the light in the room was a little dim, Xie Xinzhe could still see at a glance that there were many blood stains on Zhao Lianshan's body.
It's just that these blood stains are not like Zhao Lianshan's own, but more like they are stained.
Who? Whose blood?
Who can sleep on Zhao Lianshan's bed?
"!" Zhao Lianshan waved his hand impatiently at the two doctors in the room, "Get out!" ”
The two healers immediately "rolled" with a sense of relief.
"A bunch of trash." Zhao Lianshan barely suppressed his anger and said to Xie Xinzhe: "You came quickly, I probably got in trouble this time." ”
Xie Xinzhe didn't say anything, only raised his finger and pointed to the tent, and raised his eyebrows, meaning to ask who was inside.
Zhao Lianshan stretched out his left hand and made a "four" gesture.
Four? The Four Princes?!
Xie Xinzhe chuckled in his heart.
There are six adult princes today, except for the eldest son of the emperor who was crowned the crown prince, the others were crowned kings.
According to the practice of the previous dynasties, every year before the Spring Festival, the prince who was crowned the king would express his condolences to the Quartet on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Princes with fiefs usually go to their own fiefdoms, while those without fiefs go to important governors.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to take away the prince who may threaten the position of the crown prince, and don't steal the limelight in a ceremony like sacrificing heaven and earth.
Originally, the Heavenly Family also wanted to be reunited, but since there was a palace change on Chinese New Year's Eve in the previous dynasty, the rules have changed.
The heavenly family regards the world as their home, so they naturally have to shepherd the Quartet.
Anyway, it makes sense.
And the royal family affection is thin, and the princes are also happy to have such an opportunity, and they can play around, which is much more interesting than always staying in the capital.
Of course, if you have something else in mind, it is an exception.
This year, the one who came to Nanwu City was Zhuang Jieshu, the fourth prince of King Beijing.
It's just that, according to Mingfa's mansion report, the four princes should arrive at least another three or four days.
When the prince arrived, the ordinary people probably didn't pay too much attention to it, and at most they felt that it was a little inconvenient for the market to be closed that day. But for officials and nobles, it is very different, not only to arrange etiquette such as outskirts, but also to take care of the heart, and serve this ancestor well, in order to get a good praise and a safe year.
Therefore, the government usually sends people to guard the front road and report the itinerary news from time to time.
Then why did these four princes come here in advance?
It's coming, he's running fast by himself, and he probably won't blame the poor reception, but he's still injured?!
And it seems to be quite badly injured?!
Xie Xinzhe felt that his head was big. Although it seems that this matter is only spread on Zhao Lianshan's head now, as the highest local official of the Ministry of War, if something really happens to the prince, Xie Xinzhe probably won't be able to escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty.
Zhao Lianshan gently opened the tent so that Xie Xinzhe could see the people in the tent clearly.
His face was like white paper, and his breathing was weak.
Sure enough, it was the fourth prince.
The fourth prince coughed suddenly at this time, probably his body was already very weak, and his cough was not too violent, but he coughed up a lot of blood foam.
It looks shocking.
Zhao Lianshan compared the chest and thighs of the fourth prince, and said softly: "Each of these two places has a sword. As he spoke, he turned around and went out at the door and shouted, "I'm coughing up blood again, come over and have a look." ”
