251 Lead the serpent out of the hole
The weather is gradually entering autumn, and the cold wind is blowing tightly on this day, and it is already gloomy before evening, and there is no bright color to be seen. In the study, Pei Bi sat in front of the desk with his clothes on, and the table was full of secret reports sent from all over the world, all of which were reports of worries without exception. First, someone attacked the Pei family's fleet dedicated to transporting salt, killed the guards, and robbed twenty boats of grain. Then, it was the Su family, the No. 1 wealthy family in Yunzhou, who had always been in the same breath as the Pei family, who specially wrote a letter, saying that there was a problem with a position that Pei had asked the Pei family to help his son seek in the court, and even the Su family's family was imprisoned for buying officials, and they specially wrote a letter to ask for help.
It's like someone is deliberately going against the Pei family! The more Pei Bi looked at his heart, the more irritable he became, and he grabbed a letter that he had browsed and was about to write a reply, when he suddenly felt a pain in his body, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and the old problem had flare up again. His illness was always like this, every time in the early autumn, his whole body would be in pain, coughing and vomiting blood, followed by a high fever, which lasted four or five days, and he had to stay in bed to recuperate. At this time, as soon as the weather is cold, it will give him a signal that his illness is about to happen again. He put down the pen, touched his forehead vaguely, felt a little hot, couldn't help sighing, and was about to find someone to ask for a doctor, but saw the guard walk in quickly: "The slave knocks on the eldest young master." ”
As soon as he saw the other party, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to the eldest young master, the young lady is making a fuss outside the door to come in."
Pei Bi frowned: "Bao'er? How long has she been here? ”
"Young master, it's been half an hour since the young lady came, no matter what the slave said, she insisted on refusing to leave."
"Forget it, let her in." Pei Bi said, his nose made a dull sound, and he secretly said in his heart that this girl has been making more and more trouble recently, if it weren't for the fact that she is her own sister, she must not be so indulgent again! was still thinking about it, but saw Pei Bao'er blowing in from outside the door like a gust of wind, and the gorgeous dress, lined with the thick night at the moment, was shocking.
Pei Bi looked at her, his heart was irritable, but he had to force himself to suppress this thought, try to smile as much as possible, and said in a kind tone: "Little sister, why did you come here at this time?" ”
Pei Bao'er sat down on a chair at the bottom of the head, with a worried look on her face: "Has the eldest brother's old mistake been committed again?" ”
Pei Bi smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's already been like this for a long time, you might as well tell me what you're here for today." ”
Pei Bao'er said in her heart that this eldest brother still cares about herself, thinking of her brotherhood - she suddenly burst into excitement, tears burst out of her eyes, and she replied in a choked voice: "Big brother, you said that you would avenge the second brother and them!" ”
Pei Bi frowned and said, "I haven't forgotten about this matter, you don't have to remind me again and again." What's more, he knew very well that in Pei Bao'er's heart, he was afraid that her personal enmity would be even greater.
Pei Bao'er was very anxious in her heart, and said anxiously: "I know everything about the last time, but it's a pity that Nalan Xue fell short, otherwise, the Guo family will definitely be killed!" Once such a great opportunity is missed, there is no telling when it will be waiting! Where can we afford to wait! ”
Pei Bi stared at Pei Bao'er's gorgeous appearance, but his heart was beautiful but he was praised too highly, too uncomposed, he didn't know how long he had been entangled in this matter for half a month, he suppressed his impatience and said softly: "I will naturally discuss this matter with my aunt, you don't have to worry, just take care of yourself." ”
Pei Bao'er's face changed, and she said angrily: "You send me like this every time!" But in the end, they did nothing! Today I went to the palace again, but my aunt refused to see me no matter what, and ordered those palace maids and eunuchs to drive me out! Now the ladies of the high-ranking officials and nobles refuse to associate with me, and those lowly minions are also arrogant in front of me, big brother, have you seen how uncomfortable my life is! ”
Pei Bi glanced at Pei Bao'er and turned his gaze away, but he didn't say a word.
Pei Bao'er rolled her eyes, and continued: "Big brother, now is a great opportunity to vent your anger. ”
Pei Bi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What do you mean?" ”
A trace of gloom flashed in Pei Bao'er's eyes, and her white face flashed with extreme cruelty, and she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Li Weiyang is going to take her stupid brother to Tzu Chi Temple to offer incense, isn't this a great opportunity?" ”
Pei Bi's heart moved, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Oh? Where did you hear this news? ”
Pei Bao'er sneered: "Tzu Chi Temple has always been worshiped by our incense, and a year ago I also donated money to reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva for those monks, so I am accurate in this news!" This time, Li Weiyang was worried because her younger brother was mentally incomplete, so she went to the Buddha to worship and pray for the fool. In Pei Baoer's eyes, Li Weiyang has always refused to let Li Minzhi appear in everyone's sight, which must be to cover up the fact that this kid is stupid.
Pei Bi heard it in his ears, and a trace of strangeness passed through his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "Then what do you mean when you say this is a good opportunity?" ”
Pei Bao'er couldn't wait to say, "Big brother, why are you stupid?!" In the past, this Li Weiyang was always hiding in the Guo Mansion, and even if we wanted to do it, there was no way to find a suitable opportunity. But this time she left the Guo Mansion by herself, Tzu Chi Monastery - it was outside the city, this back and forth was a day's work, what happened on the way, who can guarantee?! Big brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, this is a great opportunity, once you miss it, there will never be such a good time! ”
Pei Bi's brows furrowed tightly: "Do you want me to send someone to do it on the road?" You can't be a vegetarian when you are the Guo family's bodyguard, if it's so easy, you can get it......"
Before he finished his words, he heard Pei Bao'er smile coldly and said: "The Guo family is naturally heavily guarded, but it can't stand our careful preparations, as long as you have the heart, big brother, I have this confidence to let her go and never return!" When she said the words "there is no return", she gritted her teeth, obviously hating Li Weiyang to the extreme.
Hearing her say this, Pei Bi was not moved, he knew too well Li Weiyang's cunning, and he would step into the other party's trap if he was not careful, so he just smiled coldly and said, "I advise you not to think about this matter too easily." ”
Pei Bao'er stood up from the chair suddenly, and there was a hint of fierceness in her beautiful eyes: "Big brother, I have said so many things, don't you still understand what I mean?" As long as you take this opportunity to get rid of Li Weiyang, our henchmen will be gone, and the revenge of the brothers will be avenged together, what's wrong with this? Hesitant like you, once you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to kill her in the future! ”
Pei Bi didn't say a word, and his face was calm, obviously unmoved.
Pei Bao'er walked to his desk all of a sudden, couldn't hold back her annoyance and said loudly: "Big brother, are you listening to me!" ”
Pei Bi's eyes fell on Pei Bao'er's beautiful face, but there was a faint hint of contempt: "I am naturally in charge of everything in the family, you have a daughter's family, it is better to be in the embroidery building and meditate on your own mistakes!" ”
Pei Bao'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Think about yourself? Why do you and your father say this, and what is my fault! From beginning to end, it was Li Weiyang who framed me, if it weren't for her, I would have become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat me! Do you know, now I can't even get out of the door of the Pei family, what kind of life am I living, you will only tell me to endure and endure, wait and wait! How long will it take, and when will it take! I can't take it anymore! ”
Pei Bi stood up suddenly, stared at Pei Bao'er with a cold gaze and said, "What qualifications do you have to stand here and talk to me like this?" Have you forgotten who you are?! ”
After all, Pei Bao'er is very inward-looking, she and her second brother Pei Hui are used to being willful, but they never dare to be rude to their eldest brother, and now they are startled by Pei Bi's rare words, and subconsciously took two steps back, and her voice softened suddenly, begging: "Big brother, I didn't mean to, I'm just thinking about the Pei family, I hope you don't let go of such a good opportunity......
Pei Bi was very bored: "Okay, I have my own measure in this matter!" No more mention, you go. ”
When Pei Baoer heard him say this, she knew that this matter was no fun, so she couldn't help but stomp her feet resentfully, and retreated helplessly.
When Pei Baoer walked out of the study, Pei Bi was staring at the candle flame on the table, he always felt that now was not the best time to do it, Li Weiyang, this woman was too treacherous, and it was easy to fall for her if he was not careful, so he was willing to stand still and look for a good opportunity. He sat back in his chair and sighed, thinking that his painstaking plan could not hide under the attack of the other party, and he couldn't help but fall into silence.
But Pei Bao'er, who had just come out of the study, was furious, all the way back to her yard, and with a wave of her hand, she pulled down the mahogany enamel frame, and almost smashed all the antique jade on it.
In the end, her henchman Zhen'er stepped forward and said softly: "Miss, why are you so angry, is it the eldest prince who ......?"
Before she finished her words, Pei Bao'er had already said sharply: "They are all cowards, they don't even dare to kill people, it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity!" ”
Zhen'er glanced at Pei Bao'er and hesitated: "Miss, what do you mean ......?"
Pei Baoer gritted her teeth, and on that beautiful face, it was rare to show a hideous color: "If he doesn't do it, can't I do it?" ”
Zhen'er was shocked and said: "Miss, don't make a mistake, the eldest young master has been staring at us very closely recently, if you act rashly, I'm afraid the young master will ...... him."
Pei Bao'er didn't let her finish, but just snorted coldly and said: "If we can't use the power of the Pei family, we can naturally find some people who are reckless and collect money in most of the capital, can't we find it?" ”
Zhen'er was even more hesitant: "But Miss, the guards of the Guo family are all strong in martial arts, and there is also a Zhao Yue by Li Weiyang's side, you know, I'm afraid that ordinary reckless people will not be able to achieve your goal." ”
Pei Bao'er pondered for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face: "Ordinary people can't, what about the Yan Blood Alliance?" ”
Zhen'er was taken aback, she didn't expect Pei Bao'er to suddenly mention this killer sect. The Bright Blood Alliance is a killer organization in Yuexi for many years, with countless young masters under its umbrella, specializing in secret killing missions. The killers sent out cooperate tacitly, seamlessly, and taking the enemy's head is like probing for something. In the past ten years, the 1,348 missions entrusted to the Bright Blood Alliance have never missed, which can be described as a brilliant record. It's just that most of them are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and these killers rarely reach out to Dadu to commit crimes. What's more, there was such a scene in the Prince's Mansion last time......
Thinking of this, Zhen'er couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, if you want to buy people from the Yan Blood Alliance to assassinate Li Weiyang, I'm afraid it's not so easy. They seem to have a rule that they don't do it lightly. What's more, there was an assassination of the prince last time, which ...... I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. ”
Pei Bao'er smiled slightly and said: "Money can make ghosts grind, and the people of the Yan Blood Alliance are just asking for money, as long as I give enough silver, can they not do things for me?" Even if we can't kill Li Weiyang, we can kidnap her younger brother, as long as Li Minzhi is in our hands, Li Weiyang won't be able to throw a rat trap! As she spoke, her smile grew even colder.
Zhen'er felt that it was inappropriate, but seeing Pei Bao'er's determined look, she didn't dare to persuade anymore.
Li Weiyang chose a good day and took Li Minzhi to Tzu Chi Temple to offer incense.
The carriage of the Guo family drove all the way through the lively market, and the guards rode their horses to guard the carriage, which was very tightly guarded, and Guo Cheng also followed on horseback, attracting many women to secretly look at his appearance.
Inside the carriage, Li Minzhi curiously lifted the curtain and looked out, his big black eyes were spinning, obviously very curious about the surrounding Qiqi. Li Weiyang leaned sideways on the cushion next to him, holding a book in his hand, and watched quietly in the light, looking very calm. Princess Ali was also very excited, she and Li Minzhi were like two children, lying on the edge of the window together and looking out.
At this moment, Minzhi suddenly turned his head and asked Li Weiyang, "Sister, did you hear any sound?" ”
Li Weiyang listened attentively, but there was a lot of people around, she shook her head and said, "This is a market, and the sound is naturally very noisy. ”
Princess Ali saw Li Minzhi's abnormal expression and couldn't help asking, "Minzhi, what voice did you hear?" ”
Toshizhi tilted his head and thought about it, his face very puzzled. Apparently he wondered why none of the others in the carriage had heard it.
Princess Ali didn't look like Li Minzhi was joking, and couldn't help but listen, but only heard a sharp and high-pitched voice from the crowd inexplicably, as if a lark was chirping and flying up the clouds, passing through the crowd, she felt strange in her heart, and was about to say something, but at this time she heard the noise outside, as if something had happened. She couldn't help but look out, only to see that the wide road that could accommodate four carriages in parallel was somehow surrounded by people, not to mention the street, even the teahouse and wine house next to it were three floors inside and three floors outside, and there were people watching the excitement. The driver was forced to stop the frame, but people kept squeezing forward.
Princess Ali peeked out of the window and saw a very strange procession not far away. The head was an unusually tall alien, his face was as black as bronze, his huge head, forehead, cheekbones, and nose bridge were higher than ordinary people, and protruding, almost like a black tower. He held a bamboo flute in his hand, and as he walked, the bells on his feet jingled, and the strange trills he had just heard in the carriage were blown from his flute. As he blew, a very rare animal danced behind him. The animal looked like a monkey, but it had a dog's tail, and its fur was light brown, with circles and stripes, and irregular markings, and the closer it was to the head, the darker the color.
Princess Ali was taken aback, she had seen many animals, but she had never seen such a strange thing, this strange animal had two small red eyes like round balls, shining with a terrifying light, with the sound of the bamboo flute blowing out, arched its neck, slightly open mouth, spit out a letter, the color was as red as a maple leaf, and the tail was rhythmically swaying up and down, left and right, looking like a dancing snake.
Princess Ali was dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on, so she asked Zhao Yue, "What's going on ahead, what is this?" ”
Zhao Yue immediately said: "Returning to the princess, where the performance is going on in front, people have to rush to the front to watch, so our carriage is blocked." ”
Princess Ali became so excited that she almost jumped out of the carriage. At this moment, Li Weiyang said softly: "Ali, it's chaotic outside now, do you want to go out?" ”
Princess Ali retracted her foot, she remembered that Li Weiyang had ordered before leaving that no matter what happened, she should not leave the carriage at will, and it was precisely because she agreed that Li Weiyang was willing to take her out. She glanced at Li Weiyang aggrievedly, and said tentatively: "Jia'er, look outside, that animal is really strange." Otherwise, let's stop and take a look, it won't be delayed for long! ”
Minzhi slapped happily on the side and said, "Sister, take a look, take a look." ”
Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "The strangest thing in this world is not animals, but people's hearts." She said this as if remembering something, and her smile deepened.
Princess Ali looked at Li Weiyang with a strange expression, she really didn't understand what the other party was talking about.
At this moment, for some reason, the sound of the bamboo flute outside changed, and the strange-looking animal suddenly rushed into the crowd, pounced on a person, and scratched the face of the fat woman with one claw. The woman screamed, and her fat body fell to the ground, and the animal bared its teeth and threw itself at the others, and suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and countless people began to retreat in fright. But people are like this, the more crowded the place, the more people there are. The people behind didn't know why, thinking that there were some precious treasures to appreciate, and they squeezed towards this side more and more frantically, and the street, which was originally still an orderly place, had become a mess, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, followed by screams and screams. Guo Cheng, who had been in charge of guarding in front, changed his face and said loudly: "Hold on!" No one is allowed to come near the carriage! ”
His voice alarmed the others in the carriage, and Princess Ali was about to lift the curtain, but she heard Li Weiyang cough lightly, and Ali's hand immediately retracted: "Okay, I promised you that I won't leave the carriage." ”
Li Weiyang looked at her solemnly, hiding a smile from the corner of his mouth: "Just remember what you promised, if you leave the carriage casually today, I will never take you out in the future, even if you say that you are going to suffocate to death." ”
Princess Ali had no choice, so she had to curl up with Li Minzhi aggrievedly, and whispered to him: "Your sister is really fierce!" ”
Minzhi opened a pair of dark eyes wide, smiling, and didn't know if he understood it. Seeing that he was ignorant, Princess Ali was annoyed for a moment and scratched his nose fiercely. Who knew that Minzhi laughed even harder, threw himself into Li Weiyang's arms, and didn't forget to turn his head and make a grimace at her, Ali was even more angry, so she could only pout and quietly look out in the direction of the car window.
At this time, it was already even more chaotic outside, and the guards of the Guo family were desperately protecting the safety of the carriage in the center. But there were more and more people, and they had to dismount one after another to prevent the crowd from approaching the carriage. Somebody suddenly stabbed the leading horse with something sharp, and the horse jumped up at once, raised its head and neighed, and kept kicking its front hooves, and the coachman failed to control the direction, and his hands trembled and were squeezed out of direction by those people, and there were shouts of reprimand all around, and then there were exclamations.
The carriage here was also hit by the crowd, Princess Ali was taken aback, and rushed forward unprepared, looking about to crash into the car door, but fortunately, Zhao Yue was quick and grabbed her. Princess Ali calmed down the panic in her heart, looked at Zhao Yue and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
At this time, Zhao Yue only raised the curtain of the carriage, only to see that half of the guards around the carriage not far away had been dispersed, and Guo Cheng and the remaining twelve guards held the handle of the knife to protect the carriage, Guo Cheng said loudly: "Who are you, you dare to block the carriage of the Guo family!" ”
In front of the carriage, there were more than ten men in ordinary cloth clothes standing side by side, Gu is face was indignant, one of them was holding a six or seven-year-old girl in his arms, his expression was very excited, as if he was very angry: "Now the street is so chaotic, but you are hurting people, this child has been injured by your horse's hooves just now, how do you want to compensate!" ”
Guo Cheng glanced at it, except for the child's clothes that were a little shabby, but there were no scars on his body, he couldn't help but speak: "There was chaos in the crowd just now, and the carriage couldn't control it for a while, maybe it hurt this child by mistake, it's ours, we apologize to you!" If this child is injured, we will immediately send her to the doctor! As he spoke, Guo Cheng was already about to step forward, as if he wanted to take over the child.
In fact, although the appearance of the Guo family's carriage is very low-key, it is well-made, and it is by no means affordable for ordinary people, and there is the Guo family's family emblem on it, plus although the Guo family's guards are all dressed in civilian clothes, they are extraordinary, all of them are from military backgrounds and strong martial arts. But these dozen or so people are obviously people from the rivers and lakes, all wearing swords on their bodies, and they are bent on standing up for this child. One of them separated Guo Cheng's hand and deliberately said loudly: "Don't be pretending!" You hurt someone, and you want to leave so lightly! As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a dozen or so men surrounded the carriage from the left and right.
Guo Cheng's face changed greatly, his brows were furrowed, but there was a trace of condensation in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows and scolded loudly: "This is the carriage of the Guo Mansion, how did you have the courage to dare to intercept it in public!" ”
The person on the other side said coldly: "You are rude and hurt people first, we are just out of righteous indignation!" As he spoke, he threw the child to the person next to him, pointed to the Guo family's carriage and said loudly: "Look, everyone, the carriage of the Qi State Mansion has injured people, and if you don't admit it, you will beat the people in the street!" Where is the truth! The Son of Heaven knows the law and breaks the law at his feet, everyone goes up together, don't let them run away! As he said this, he had already rushed towards Guo Cheng, Guo Cheng was taken aback, but saw that more than a dozen people who came with the man rushed up together, they did not draw their swords or draw their knives, but just grabbed the guards by the collars like a splash.
There was a sudden chaos in the crowd, and suddenly someone shouted: "The Duke of Qi is beating, the Duke of Qi is beating!" ”
When this shout came out, the crowd became even more chaotic, more and more people rushed over, and the strange performance team just now also took the opportunity to create a riot in the crowd, making the order completely out of control. Guo Cheng tried his best to control the situation, but those people did not use their swords, they appeared as civilians, and instigated many people who did not know the truth to rush up. At this moment, the whole carriage was surrounded by an angry crowd, and people who did not know the truth mistakenly thought that what these people said was true, and they thought that Guofu's carriage had injured people, and they had to shout for the people in the carriage to get out. Ordinary people may not have such courage, but today it seems that someone deliberately instigated, and more and more people began to shout and scold, at this moment they seem to have completely forgotten that the Qi State Mansion has always been low-key and introverted, and has a good reputation, they only know that there are high-ranking officials sitting in this carriage, and they hurt people!
In the chaos, the two carriages in front and behind Guo's mansion were pushed to the ground. Especially the carriage in front of the master, those people seemed to be sure that Li Weiyang was sitting in it, and rushed up with people in anger, desperately instigating the crowd to push the carriage, and then pulled the coachman down and fell heavily to the ground. After a while, only a boom was heard, and there was countless dust, some people were screaming, some people were crying loudly, and it was almost a mess.
They really overthrew the carriage! It even overwhelmed and injured a few people!
Princess Ali saw this scene on the carriage behind, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Jia'er, look, something happened ahead!" ”
Li Weiyang seemed to have expected this, but said calmly: "Oh, yes? ”
Princess Ali turned her head, looked at Li Weiyang in amazement, and said, "Our Guo family's carriage has been overturned. ”
Li Weiyang's eyes were deep and he smiled: "Yes, it was overthrown by angry people." It seems that someone wants to fish in troubled waters. She said this, but her tone was light, obviously not taking it to heart.
Seeing her like this, a thought crossed her mind, and she was even more surprised: "You knew that something like this would happen?!" I understand! That's why you made it so that we could switch to this carriage! There was no one in the carriage in front of you, you were deliberately trying to set a trap! ”
Li Weiyang smiled kindly: "Yes, I did it on purpose." The most important reason for you not to go out is that you don't want others to know that we are in a small car not far away. ”
In fact, since the beginning of the morning trip, Li Weiyang has replaced the carriage they traveled in with a light car, which looks very ordinary, with neither an escort nor the Guo family emblem. Outsiders will only think that this is a very ordinary carriage, and they will never think that the young lady of the Qi Mansion and Princess Ali are in this carriage. And the person in charge of the accompanying guards, Li Weiyang, also let them hide in the shadows, disguised as ordinary people, and would never let people know. When he went out of the city, he was completely separated from the two carriages in front of him that were closely guarded by Guo Cheng and the Guo family's guards, but he followed far behind.
Princess Ali thought about it and became more and more surprised: "Who is it that wants to make such a big fuss!" Are they trying to hurt someone? ”
Li Weiyang said with a smile: "You have to ask the people of the Pei family about this." ”
Princess Ali opened her mouth wide: "Are you saying that this matter has something to do with the Pei family?" ”
Li Weiyang's expression was flat: "The person who hates me the most in this world is the Pei family." Isn't it obvious that they first sent people to disrupt the procession, and then they deliberately provoked public anger, and only when the people overturned the carriage did he take advantage of the chaos to kill me or kidnap Toshiyuki? ”
Princess Ali was almost speechless in surprise when she heard this, Li Weiyang seemed to have known that the other party was targeting her, and even knew where the other party was going, but why was she so sure?
Princess Ali nodded, "I know, it's because you already expected this trip to be unsafe. That's why this play was deliberately arranged to make them think that you were in the carriage in front! Amitabha, you are so smart, Jia'er, if it weren't for you, I would have suffered with you today! ”
Li Weiyang's smile was very cold: "Don't worry, the person who suffers is not me, and it won't be you, but the Pei family." As she said this, she had already instructed Zhao Yuedao: "Let the coachman turn the horse's head and go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion." ”
At this moment, it was the time for the banquet in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, and there was a lot of traffic at the door, and the flower hall in the backyard of the Yamen of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion was full of guests. Jing Zhaoyin was entertaining guests, and when he was pushing the cup and changing the lamp, he heard his henchman whisper in his ear: "My lord, something happened!" ”
Jing Zhaoyin was extremely unhappy in his heart, raised his head and said, "Didn't you see that I have so many distinguished guests here?" What could happen! ”
The man said in a low voice: "My lord, an hour ago, there was a commotion at the gate of Dongdajie, and the carriage of Guo's mansion was overturned!" ”
Jing Zhaoyin was taken aback, he put down his wine glass and stood up, and arched his hand to everyone: "Everyone, please drink the banquet first, I will come when I go, and I will come when I go!" Before anyone could stop him, he had already walked out of the door with his entourage quickly, and when he walked out of the hall door with his feet raised, he immediately turned to his entourage and said, "What is going on?" ”
As soon as the attendant raised his eyes, he met his stern gaze, and immediately replied: "The specific situation is not clear to the subordinates, but I heard that the young lady of the Guo Mansion is going to the Tzu Chi Temple to offer incense, and when she passed by the east gate, I don't know what happened, the carriage hit and injured a child, so the people of the Guo family clashed with the people, and the angry people actually overturned the carriage!" ”
Jing Zhaoyin frowned tightly, his face became darker and darker, and when he heard the last step, he stood on the ground for a long time before continuing to walk forward and said: "These people are so bold that they even dare to do it to the Guo family, so what happened to Miss Guo, what happened?" "But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, the Guo family has always had a good reputation and is very respected, how could such a thing happen for no reason?
His entourage saw that his face was not good, and hurriedly said: "By the time his subordinates arrived, the crowd had already dispersed, and I only heard that some villains took advantage of the chaos to attack the carriage and plundered someone inside." In fact, he wasn't sure if Miss Guo had been kidnapped, but he only knew that Guo Cheng was searching everywhere.
Jing Zhaoyin's face changed instantly, he snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he walked quickly. He was ordered by the emperor to be in charge of the peace of the entire capital, and now that he is under his jurisdiction, how can he explain such a thing? Not to mention that if the young lady of the Guo family has three longs and two shorts, or her reputation is damaged, he really wants to carry the black yarn to see the Duke of Qi! Thinking of this, he ordered: "Prepare the horse immediately, I will go to the Mansion of the Duke of Qi." Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside, and he couldn't help frowning: "It's so late, who is it?" ”
Someone immediately reported: "My lord, there is a woman from outside the yamen." You have to see an adult. Ask her about the post, and she doesn't! Before he finished his words, Jing Zhaoyin had already frowned even tighter, most of the people in the capital were powerful, and they couldn't be offended, since he took office, he had encountered a lot of difficult characters, and there was really no way to stop these people. Hearing that it was just a woman at the door who wanted to see him, I couldn't help but feel even more annoyed: "Stupid thing, when has this been, I didn't see that I was busy!" Don't get people out yet! ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a woman in a green skirt standing at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, staring at him all the way in. Jing Zhaoyin was taken aback, his face was slightly embarrassed, he didn't expect the victim to be in front of him, because the distance was too far, he didn't see what this person looked like, and when he came to him, he looked like a dumb person.
But when he saw the other party, he smiled slightly and said, "The gate in front of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion is really difficult to enter." Guo Jia took a lot of thought, but the guards refused to let me in, so I had to make a big noise before I entered the door, presumably, I won't blame Guo Jia for being rude! ”
Jing Zhaoyin was in a cold sweat on his back, and at this moment he had seen this woman's face clearly, and he was stunned for a moment, remembering that she was the eldest lady in the Mansion of Qi - Guo Jia.
Li Weiyang narrowed his eyes, his white chin was slightly raised, his expression was very calm, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips and said, "My lord, why do you look at me with such eyes?" At this moment, Jing Zhaoyin still looked like he didn't react suddenly, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
The entourage next to him immediately came over, leaned close to his ear, and reminded in a low voice, "My lord, Miss Guo is here." ”
"Nonsense, can I not see it?" Jing Zhao Yin said in his heart that he was really stupid. He looked at Guo Jia intently and said with a smile: "It turned out that Miss Guo was visiting, and she was disappointed!" He can't forget how reckless this Guo Jia's personality is, but she is the eldest lady of the Qi State Mansion, so what place does she dare not break into? Mo said that it was the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid that she would even be able to enter the palace. Regarding the fact that King Jing and King Xu are both devoted to Guo Jia, everyone in the capital has long been sideways, and Jing Zhaoyin does not dare to offend her lightly. Not to mention being an official in Dadu, of course you know which families are first-class, so you have to be cautious......
As soon as he figured it out in his mind, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "The guards outside don't know that it's Miss Guo, how offended they are, and I'm ashamed!" It's just that I don't know what happened to Miss Guo at such a late hour, so she wanted to come to the door in person? ”
Li Weiyang glanced at it, and saw another person walking behind her, smiling, and her amber eyes were shining, it was His Royal Highness King Xu, who was now in the limelight. Jing Zhaoyin was even more surprised, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "His Royal Highness King Xu." ”
Yuan Lie just smiled and said: "No need to be polite, I just sent Miss Guo in, oh yes, the two guards of the adult just now accidentally broke their legs, and the adult should send someone to send them to the hospital as well!" ”
Cold sweat rolled down Jing Zhaoyin's forehead, and he said in his heart that King Xu would have a gold medal wherever he went, which was obviously deliberately giving himself a dismount, and immediately said: "Those people don't understand the rules, they collided with King Xu and Miss Guo, and I will take them to apologize in person another day!" ”
Yuan Lie raised his eyebrows: "Apologize and be exempt, let's do our best to catch the thief." ”
Hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know who the thief His Royal Highness King Xu is talking about?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Today, someone in the market deliberately made trouble, stopped the carriage of the Guo Mansion, overturned the carriage, and took this opportunity to steal the valuable treasures in the carriage. ”
Valuable treasures? Didn't you rob people? Jing Zhaoyin was surprised: "There are valuables in the carriage? I don't know what kind of treasure it is? ”
Li Weiyang sneered: "It's a birthday gift that is going to be presented to him at His Majesty's birthday banquet this year." ”
Jing Zhaoyin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "This birthday gift...... It's not an ordinary thing, how can it be in a carriage? ”
Li Weiyang's expression was indifferent: "Why doesn't Lord Jing Zhaoyin know?" Because of the burning of the spiritual pagoda, His Majesty was very distressed and wanted to build the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, saying that there was a lack of relics...... So my father searched in many ways, and it took me three months to finally find the relics of 49 eminent monks and put them in a brocade box. This time it was supposed to be sent to Tzu Chi Monastery to pray for blessings, so that it could be presented to His Majesty at the birthday banquet two months later for His Majesty to read. Unfortunately, it has been stolen by thieves...... Alas, I'm afraid you can't afford this crime, Lord Jing Zhaoyin. ”
When Jing Zhaoyin heard this, his back was wet, and his face was extremely weird: "Is what Miss Guo said true?" ”
Li Weiyang snorted coldly and said: "Who would joke about such a thing, my father has specially reported to His Majesty, and he will definitely send relics in two months, and His Majesty also said that he will step up the construction of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and enshrine the relics in it for the people to admire." However, there is no reason for the thief, and it is within the jurisdiction of the adult, I don't know how the adult should explain to His Majesty? ”
The relics were stolen, the Guo family couldn't escape, and he was even more unlucky! Jing Zhaoyin only felt that his legs and feet were weak, he really couldn't imagine that there was a thief in the good blue sky and white sun, and he also inexplicably stole the gift that the Duke of Qi wanted to give to the emperor, this gift is just an ordinary thing, but it is a relic, this is not something that can be found casually! It's really going to kill you!
He gritted his teeth and said, "But what is the use of these thieves asking for relics?" ”
Li Weiyang's face sank slightly: "My lord, don't ask me about this, it's useless to ask me, how do I know what these thieves are doing when they steal these relics?" ”
The corners of Yuan Lie's mouth curled: "Listening to what Lord Jing Zhaoyin said, it seems that I suspect that this is not true, but deliberately made up by Miss Guo." As he spoke, his eyes condensed slightly, and he said slowly: "In front of everyone's eyes, everyone saw that the carriage was overturned, and there were bandits entering the carriage to loot, could Lord Jing Zhaoyin still deny it?" ”
Jing Zhaoyin bowed his head and said nothing, this is definitely not a trivial matter, what should I do?
Yuan Lie said unhurriedly: "My lord, I hope you will send someone to search for the whereabouts of the birthday gift dedicated to His Majesty, if not, His Majesty will blame it, I'm afraid we can't afford to bear it." ”
Jing Zhaoyin immediately woke up and said loudly: "Yes, yes!" I'll do it right away! As he spoke, he instructed his attendants: "Seal the gates of the city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission." Take a good look at anyone on the street today who is near the carriage. We must find this thief and follow suit! ”
Li Weiyang raised his eyes and interrupted him with a smile: "My lord, just searching for thieves is not enough. ”
Jing Zhao Yin looked at Li Weiyang worriedly, not knowing why he always felt that the other party's eyes looked a little meaningful, he asked in a low voice, "I don't know what Miss Guo means?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled: "Isn't the matter clearly in front of you?" This relic is useless in the hands of thieves, they have to get rid of it, and ordinary people will not accept it, where will they receive such stolen goods? Of course, the major pawnshops, merchants and underground black markets in the capital, or those gangs that are lucky. I don't think I need to teach adults how to search these places. ”
Jing Zhaoyin's face turned pale and said: "Miss, don't worry, within ten days, I will definitely give the Guo family an explanation." ”
Li Weiyang sighed lightly: "Ten days...... I'm afraid I can't wait. His Majesty was very anxious, and he said that in three days, he would see the relics. ”
Jing Zhaoyin was stunned and said, "It's not that it will be ...... two months later."
Li Weiyang just smiled: "Yes, it was originally two months later, but His Majesty made a whim and just made a decree that in three days, he will see the relics!" ”
Beads of sweat rolled down Jing Zhaoyin's forehead and said: "But this relic has been lost, and it is only given three days, I'm afraid it won't be searched!" ”
Li Weiyang sneered and said, "The relics are important things, Your Majesty is waiting to see!" My lord, if you have time to ask me carefully here, you might as well search the capital well, and save your majesty from anger, whether it is our Guo family or adults, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to your majesty. ”
Jing Zhaoyin said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely find out these gangsters within three days and send them to Miss Guo for justice!" ”
Li Weiyang's expression was calm, and he seemed to be very satisfied: "I hope that the adults will keep their word and catch these ill-intentioned bandits as soon as possible." As she spoke, she said no more, but gave a faint salute and turned to walk out.
Yuan Yeol accompanied her to the door, and instructed Jing Zhaoyin, who came with him, "My lord, you have to work hard." ”
Jing Zhao Yin Gong said, "Yes." In the past, this Jing Zhaoyin was a very arrogant character, and he would not bow his head to people, but at this moment, he didn't know why, when he saw the two people in front of him, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and he felt that they were like plague gods, and he wished they would leave quickly.
After going down the steps, Yuan Lie looked at Li Weiyang with a smile and said softly: "What a good method, I want to know what kind of expression the Pei family has now." ”
Li Weiyang just smiled, walked forward, and said steadily: "I don't understand what you said." ”
Outside, there was a moonlight, sprinkled on Li Weiyang's body, as if a layer of light veil had been put on her slope, adding a little mystery. Yuan Lie smiled even more, and quickly caught up with her and said, "I really want to know how Jing Zhaoyin is going to arrest this gang of bandits, and how the Pei family set themselves on fire!" ”
Li Weiyang's eyes were fluttering, and his tone was brisk: "They always like to stumble on others, but this time they don't know who they stumbled." This time the relics were stolen, even if there is no real evidence, it will definitely provoke the emperor to make Long Yan angry, and when the time comes, there will be a side drum next to the Guo family, and those forces of the Pei family want to make a hindrance from it, I am afraid that there is no way. "The so-called theft of relics, even if the mastermind behind the scenes is found, it is not an important matter at all, her real purpose is to lure out the Pei family!
Yuan Lie's steps were brisk, his long eyes were shining, and Li Weiyang's meaningful smile was reflected in front of him, and he couldn't help but raise his lips and said in a low voice: "This time, I want them to make a big mistake!" ”
The breeze blew on his cheeks, bringing three points of coolness, Li Weiyang tightened his hips, sighed deeply, and exhaled: "The person who can be fooled will not be Pei Bi, it must be some idiot, but if you take out the radish and bring out the mud, the Pei family can't run away in the end." She said this, but she smiled slightly, and got into the carriage with brisk steps.
Yuan Lie then got on the horse, turned his head and instructed the coachman: "Go home." ”
Jing Zhaoyin looked at the two of them from a distance, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and the entourage next to him immediately whispered: "My lord, what do you think about this?" ”
Jing Zhaoyin turned his head sharply and slapped him, and said sharply: "What to do!" Do you still need me to teach you, why don't you go and search the whole city! ”
The attendant was taken aback: "But this sea of people is vast, how can he search the people who are making trouble in front of the East Gate today?" ”
Jing Zhaoyin said coldly: "Didn't you hear what Guo Jia said, focus on searching those pawnshops and underground banks!" Pay close attention to the people in most of the rivers and lakes! I don't care how you check, you must find a way to find out who the troublemaker is, otherwise, come and see you! ”
