Chapter 477: Assassination outside the palace
After a series of overt and covert transfers and rectifications, whether in the palace or outside the palace, whether it was the eunuchs or the courtiers, they were all stable. Regarding King Ning's rebellion, the unaffected people have long been ignored and used as a topic of conversation after dinner.
It stands to reason that the rehabilitation of King Ning should be done quickly, but when the weather warms up and people gradually change into single clothes, the imperial army still has no class to return to the court.
Nie Shuyao also felt strange, could it be that something strange had happened again? Song Yunfei's letter didn't say that he had encountered a problem.
The life in Feiyunju is still the same, when there is no news on Pang Taishi's side, Xun Ze and Huanyu transported the dove's coffin back to Yangzhou hometown for burial, and Huanyu's mother was also buried there.
This time I went back and forth, and it didn't seem to be able to come back for half a year. So, the medical treatment on the side of the office was completely handed over to Jiang Wan'er. She is now drying herbs in the spacious courtyard of Feiyunju whenever she has free time.
Nie Shuyao was pulling little Song Yuan in the courtyard to learn to walk, she was a little bored these days, and it was not easy to talk to those Portuguese people in a grand manner. I hope that Song Yun will come back soon, and he can take himself around openly.
"Alas! Wan'er, did your father write a letter? She asked feebly.
Jiang Wan'er didn't feel anything because of these weak words, but let herself be a little ashamed, her hand turning over the herbs froze, and she whispered: "I said that I was on the way." β
Nie Shuyao nodded, "That's good, that's good!" I said, don't you and Brother Jiang plan to buy a house to live in the capital? Do you still want your old father to go back to Kongming Mountain alone? You are an old girl, how can you be so unfilial. β
Jiang Wan'er was sluggish again. Gritted his teeth and said: "Shu Yao, your mouth is really ......, it's really unforgiving!" β
Nie Shuyao was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "If the silver is not enough, just live in Houfu." After all, there are so many empty yards in the house, isn't it good to help us add popularity? β
Jiang Wan'er's brows suddenly stretched when she heard this, but after a while, she wrinkled again, and said in a low voice: "Shu Yao, are you sincere?" Or do you want to keep my father in Houfu as your free thug? β
Nie Shuyao rolled her eyes and immediately turned around and teased Song Yuan: "Oops." Yuan'er is really good! Come, take two more steps for my mother. β
As he spoke, he kissed him hard, making Song Yuan laugh.
"Giggles! Motherββγ β
The soft and glutinous voice made Nie Shuyao's heart drunk. I completely forgot what I said to Jiang Wan'er just now.
"Huh!" Jiang Wan'er laughed dryly when she saw this scene, and pouted: "It feels like our family really owes you something." Ay? It seems that Shu Yao has never sent me monthly silver. β
Seeing that Nie Shuyao and Song Yuan were having fun, Jiang Wan'er shook her head and threw away this little eye, anyway, her father's money was left for herself. Never mind. I won't worry about Nie Shuyao.
Just when Nie Shuyao shouted every day that she was bored and couldn't go out and walk around. Zhu Xian came, and with him came Zhu Cong, who was dressed as a little eunuch.
His arrival startled Nie Shuyao, and he hurriedly pulled them to the small study, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" β
Zhu Cong smiled and was silent.
Zhu Xian said: "Auntie, it was approved by my father. He said that as the crown prince, he should understand the people's suffering, so he allowed the imperial brother to come to see his aunt. β
Nie Shuyao was still a little embarrassed, "Do you have a guard?" β
Zhu Cong nodded and said, "Yes." Protect in the dark. Auntie, don't worry, they are all elites from their father. β
"Alas. Where have you decided to go to experience the suffering of the people? "Nie Shuyao finally had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, God knows, whether Master Pang will suddenly go crazy.
The two brothers looked at each other and said, "We want to go to the detective agency to be detectives for a few days." β
Nie Shuyao is really embarrassed, the work of the firm is not small now, what if she encounters a difficult person?
Zhu Xian looked at her embarrassed, stepped forward and took Nie Shuyao's hand and said, "Auntie said that we are welcome to go at any time!" β
"Okay." Nie Shuyao said helplessly, "However, I still have to wait for someone." We can only go over there after he comes. β
"No problem." The brothers laughed.
Nie Shuyao asked Jiang Wan'er to invite Jiang Yi, she felt that Jiang Yi was the best person she had ever seen, and she would feel more at ease with him.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yi arrived.
Nie Shuyao finally coaxed the two children to go to the meditation courtyard, and the party went out of the waiting house in disguise.
This time, Nie Shuyao didn't bring a maid, and the only guards on the bright side were Song Ren and Song Yi, Jiang Wan'er and her changed into men's clothes, and Jiang Yi was also ready.
Zhu Cong and Zhu Xian didn't know how much thought they had put into Nie Shuyao this time, and they had a lot of fun watching those stalls along the way.
Just as he was approaching the detective office, a man was carrying a large bundle of bamboo, tall and straight, some as thick as a baby's arm. When someone buys, he stops, dangling back and forth and asking people around him to make way for him.
This person walked towards Nie Shuyao and his party head-on, and everyone cheered up except for Zhu Cong and the others. At this time, you don't need to talk about your identity, let's make way for this person first.
Before he got close, Nie Shuyao pulled Zhu Xian, and Jiang Yi pulled Zhu Cong to the side to make way for him.
The bamboo seller was a half-grown old man, and he smiled at them in a friendly manner. But at this moment, the rope of the bundle of bamboo suddenly broke.
The bamboos scattered in all directions, and for a while the pedestrians on the street took refuge, so that there was no confusion. The old man who sold bamboo was stunned for a moment, not knowing why this was happening.
At this time, Nie Shuyao instinctively felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Get out of here quickly." β
At the same time, he held the firearm in his hand.
Just when the bamboo was about to hit everyone's heads, it exploded one after another, and many people couldn't avoid being injured. The bamboo pole was long enough, and the explosion stretched to Zhu Cong's head, if Jiang Yi hadn't acted quickly, he might have been injured.
At the moment, it is already clear that this is a conspiracy to assassinate Zhu Cong. Then, all the guards who were hidden in the shadows were dispatched.
"Kill!"
But the assassins who were in the crowd also boldly drew their swords and fought against the guards. As a result, the streets became even more chaotic.
Jiang Yi took Zhu Cong to rush to the front to break through, and all the assassins slashed down with one sword, and if it was the people, they were just stunned with the back of the knife. This is the first time he has used a knife since the month of the wind, and he has also taken out all his skills.
Zhu Xian was also frightened under Nie Shuyao's protection, and grabbed her hand tightly.
Seeing that there were more and more assassins coming from the streets, it was a little difficult for them to break through.
When Jiang Yi was rushing out, the old man who sold bamboo was also injured by those assassins, and when he saw Jiang Yi coming, he struggled to get up and asked Jiang Yi to save him.
Zhu Cong was moved by compassion when he saw that his face was covered with blood, "Let's save him." β
"Humph!" Jiang Yi slashed the old man with a backhand.
The old man shouted, and it became a rolling gourd, and this roll rolled to where Nie Shuyao was. (To be continued......)
