Chapter 263: Righteousness
"Hey! You are one of the officials, how can the officials not come? Not only now, when you have a child, the official will come again to please the wine and drink, haha! Li Ke laughed loudly, but Sledgehammer really has a child, Li Ke can come back without seeing it!
After the sledgehammer saluted Li Ke, he saluted others in turn, and when he saluted the man that Li Ke paid attention to, Sledgehammer and his father were both stunned! Sledgehammer muttered to the king blacksmith and said, "Daddy! This is ......"
Blacksmith Wang was also stunned, his face was a little embarrassed! After all, people come to congratulate you, but you don't know what their names are, which is really unreasonable! However, after all, the blacksmith Wang is also a person who has lived for decades, and people often say that there is a treasure in the family!
"This should be the person next to your Meng Niang, you should be younger than you at this age......" Wang Blacksmith thought this was the case, but this Meng matchmaker was by his side, so he only heard Meng Matchmaker say: "No! He's not from my house! And I've never met him either......"
"Huh?!"
This makes everyone scratch their heads, not neighbors, not friends, and not people in Mrs. Meng's house! Who are those people? Just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly!
The man took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Li Ke, shouting, "Die!" ”
"Ah~"
"Huh?! How!? The man was shocked, in his expectation, this dagger should make Li Ke's chest burst with blood! What he never expected was that he would make Li Ke's fatal blow unexpectedly...... was blocked by Li Ke!
"Ahh Bai Yurou was so frightened that she screamed, and it was his scream that brought Li Ke back to his senses! I saw Li Ke suddenly raise his hand at the man, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation!
At this time, the people had already run aside, but the bold ones did not leave, but they wanted to stay as melon eaters!
As a survival instinct, the man's scalp suddenly went numb, which was a sense of danger! I saw the man dodge quickly, and he was still walking in a zigzag! However, no matter how fast he dodges, can he still have bullets?
"Bang~"
Li Ke thought that this shot would be able to concentrate him, but he didn't expect it to miss! Li Ke quickly shot again, and after the shot, Li Ke regretted it and scolded: "Hit crooked again...... ! Hit! ”
Originally, assassins dodged left and right, but when you dodge left and right, the route becomes longer! And Li Ke didn't aim when he aimed, but he didn't expect this assassin to suddenly dodge and catch a shot from Li Ke!
"Ahh
Hit the Assassin's right arm, and the Assassin crouched on the ground with a scream! Just as Li Ke was about to go over to replenish the gun, the assassin rolled on the spot and rolled into the crowd!
This assassin is also a smart person, he is betting that Li Ke will not put a hidden weapon in the crowd! Originally, Li Ke didn't care about these people, but with so many people, Li Ke couldn't finish a pistol, so he could only watch this assassin escape!
"Husband, are you alright? I'm scared to death......" Bai Yurou's face turned pale, and her palm touched Li Ke's body to see if he was injured!
Li Ke shook his head, looked at the door where there was no assassin and said, "It's okay!" I'm wearing body armor! However, this assassin doesn't seem to be very smart! This exposure is too big, Lao Tzu has long been on guard! ”
"Could this assassin be Nangong Jin?" Bai Yurou asked suspiciously, as far as he knew, the only one who wanted to kill Li Ke now was Nangong Jin!
"Not necessarily ......"
Bai Yurou was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Is it possible that there are still others who can't do it?" Didn't you say that the person who wanted to assassinate her husband was Nangong Jin? Bai Yurou was confused by Li Ke's words, and thought: What do these people want to do?
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it when we go home......" Li Ke hasn't finished talking here, Blacksmith Wang has been coming to Li Ke's side for a long time, but he didn't disturb the conversation between the two, and when he saw that Li Ke and Bai Yurou had finished speaking, he immediately knelt down, and the groom and his apprentices beside him also knelt down!
"Your Excellency forgives your sins, your subordinates really don't know who this person is! I didn't know that he was the assassin who assassinated the adult, please see it~" The blacksmith Wang knelt on the ground and shouted to Li Ke that he didn't know, and the apprentices behind him also shouted that he was wronged!
"Get up......
Blacksmith Wang and the others were stunned, but they didn't dare to get up, for fear that Li Ke was deliberately looking for an excuse to deal with himself and others! But he felt that Li Ke couldn't do this, so he hesitated for a while!
Li Ke looked at their appearance, and suddenly said speechlessly: "What are you doing in a daze?" Get up! I don't blame you for this! ”
"Ah...... Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, sir! ”
After everyone got up, Li Ke said: "This official will go back to the house, you can continue......" After Li Ke finished speaking, he took Bai Yurou away, and Wang Blacksmith said in his heart: This kind of thing has happened, how can you still have the heart to continue?
"Greetings to ...... adults"
Wang Blacksmith took his own people to Li Ke and saluted, and after sending Li Ke away, Meng Matchmaker on the side came over and asked, "Lao Wang! You don't even know him, how did this assassin get in? ”
"I don't know, I thought it was someone from your house, but I didn't expect it! Alas! Fortunately, Master Li was not injured, otherwise...... I deserve to die for my sin! Wang Blacksmith said with palpitations, he was not wrong, if Li Ke was injured here, then he could be said to have entered the ghost gate!
……
Li Qing was already guarding the gate of the mansion at this time, in order to catch Li Ke! Suddenly! She saw Li Ke and Bai Yurou at the door, and saw the two of them looking around in the direction of the mansion gate, Li Qing shouted: "Li Ke! Where did you go, I got up early in the morning to look for you and didn't see your body and mind, and I waited until now, I finally waited for you! ”
Facing Li Qing's first sentence when he ran over, Li Ke was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart: Okay! This is hating myself, and I have been waiting for myself in the morning!
"Ahem...... What are you waiting for me to do? ”
Li Ke pinched his nose in embarrassment, and walked towards the door of the mansion without stopping! Bai Yurou lowered her head and followed Li Ke without saying a word, as if Li Qing couldn't notice her like this!
"Hey! I'm not done yet...... Wait for me...... Feed! ”
Li Qing called out to the two, Bai Yurou wanted to stop, but Li Ke didn't even turn around, and directly stretched back and grabbed his hand, and he was forcibly taken away by Li Ke!
……
"Huh?! Husband, third sister! Are you back? Have you met the second sister...... "Pear Blossom was overjoyed when she saw Li Ke, and then thought of Li Qing saying that she would personally arrest Li Ke at the door! Before he finished asking, he saw Li Ke and Li Qing behind Bai Yurou walking in angrily, pouting his mouth!
Lihua asked: "Second sister, what's wrong......" Li Qing looked at Li Ke sitting on the stool, and said angrily: "When I talk to my husband, he ignores me, and he doesn't even look at me!" ”
"It's not! Qing'er, the main thing is that I'm thinking about things so I don't care about your feelings, and my husband apologizes to you! Li Ke sat on the stool and answered Li Qing's words while drinking water by himself!
"Humph! You said lightly, I waited for you outside all morning......" Li Qing chattered and complained, and the words were not finished complaining! Bai Yurou was also a little tired of Li Qing's chatter, and suddenly couldn't listen to it anymore and suddenly said, "Second sister! Don't talk about it, my husband was almost killed today! ”
"What?! My husband was almost killed?! ”
"My husband was assassinated?!"
Pear Blossom and Li Qing were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly walked to Li Ke's side and touched Li Ke here and there like Bai Yurou! Li Qing suddenly forgot about her grievances, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the wound?" Is there something wrong? ”
"My husband was not injured because he was wearing body armor, if my husband was not wearing body armor today...... I'm afraid we've all become widows! Bai Yurou said and trembled with some fear!
Rika's face turned a little pale, and she frowned: "What happened, how could my husband be assassinated?" Doesn't my husband always have guards by his side? ”
"This ...... My husband didn't bring a guard, and I was pulled up by my husband in a daze early in the morning! The husband said that he was going to the king's blacksmith's house, and his son was overjoyed today...... "Bai Yurou told the ins and outs of the matter, and when she heard Bai Yurou say that the assassin was very close to Li Ke, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed Li Ke, the two girls suddenly felt nervous again!
Rika muttered, "It's a pity...... Let this assassin run away, I am afraid that this assassin will definitely come back in the future to take revenge! ”
"Isn't it possible for us to just sit back and die? I think it's better for us to be the first to send someone to search! Li Qing said viciously, Li Ke nodded, and said, "Yes, now is indeed a good opportunity to catch him!" He has been shot in the arm by Lao Tzu, let people find and identify the injury! ”
Although Li Ke agreed, he didn't have much hope, because there were more places to hide people, unless Li Ke could dig three feet into the ground, otherwise it would be difficult to reach the sky!
"Good! I'll let the guards go ......" Li Qing hurriedly went out after speaking, Li Ke hurriedly stopped her and said, "What are you anxious about?!" The guards are all gone, so wouldn't it give Nangong Jin a chance? He's the guy we should pay attention to! ”
"Right...... Well?! ”
Li Qing nodded, and then realized something, so he was shocked: "What?!" Husband, what do you mean...... This assassin who assassinated you wasn't Nangong Jin?! ”
Pear Blossom said with a solemn face: "Isn't it Nangong Jin?" Who is that? Li Ke said in a deep voice: "There are not a few people who want Lao Tzu to die, and I can't tell who it is!" However, there are three people who are the most suspicious! ”
"Which three?"
Bai Yurou and the three of them came over and asked solemnly! Li Ke said: "This is the first one, it is the mysterious person, and Lao Tzu doesn't know!" But Lao Tzu always felt that it must have something to do with him! This second is the most controversial Nangong Jin, if you want to say that this assassin is Nangong Jin! How is it extremely inconsistent with what Nangong Jianlan said, this assassin is like an ordinary assassin! But it can't all be dismissed from Nangong Jin's suspicions! ”
"This third ......"
Li Ke narrowed his eyes before he finished speaking, and the third girl suddenly said with emotion: "Who is the third?" Say it! I'm dying! ”
"Yes! Who's the third? ”
Glancing at the three girls, Li Ke said something that surprised everyone! I only heard Li Ke say: "Third, I feel that this matter has something to do with the prefect of Wang!" ”
Pear Blossom was surprised: "Governor Wang? ”
"It has something to do with the prefect's mansion?!" Bai Yurou frowned and said.
Li Qing opened her mouth in surprise and said, "Wasn't the Wang Governor's Mansion destroyed?" Hell with it? ”
Li Ke smiled and said, "Who told you that the prefect's mansion was destroyed?" Li Qing said: "Didn't you say that the prefect of the king has ......?"
"I'm talking about the fact that the family and his guards in the prefect's mansion were destroyed, and I didn't see the corpse of the prefect!"
Li Ke shook his head and said, "You take some guards to Shi Zhifu, and ask him to send some men to find the assassin!" The people in our house don't need to use it for the time being, keep it for later! ”
"Uh-huh! Good! After Li Qing finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out! Bai Yurou saw that Li Qing had been assigned an errand, and Li Ke would definitely have it! waited quietly for the release of the errand, but I didn't expect Li Ke to have no follow-up!
Li Ke gave Li Qing this errand because of the dream he had at night, dreaming that he was cuckolded, which is not a glorious thing!
"Husband...... So what am I going to do? ”
Bai Yurou couldn't wait, and took the lead in asking! Lihua was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for Li Ke to speak, she took the first step and said, "Third sister, what's wrong with you?" Why do you have to rush to work? ”
Li Ke said with a smile: "She couldn't sit still, seeing that Li Qing had a job to do, her heart was itching!" After Li Ke finished speaking, he said to Bai Yurou: "You don't have to go out, you have recently taught those students you recruited in the mansion!" ”
"Uh-huh! Good! Bai Yurou thought about it, she still has her own errands to do! I agreed!
"Husband, where do you think this assassin will hide? Could it be hidden in the residence of the prefect? Pear Blossom suddenly asked about this, and Li Ke didn't know how to answer!
Where is this assassin hiding, how do you know?! He is not clairvoyant, so he can only say by feeling: "There is such a possibility, but!" He should go to the doctor now, after all, he was shot by Lao Tzu! ”
"Huh?! In the residence of the prefect? Isn't there a lot of dead people there, isn't he afraid? Bai Yurou was so frightened that goosebumps rose, and her head shrunk!
"Silly girl! He is an assassin, and they all say that after killing someone, there will be a murderous aura on his body, and this murderous aura is not something ordinary imps and monsters dare to provoke! After Pear Blossom finished saying with a smile, Li Ke also shook his head!
……
"Your Excellency! The princess begs to see! ”
Hearing the guards say this, Shi Quanhai was stunned at first, and said in his heart: Princess? What is the ...... Could it be ......
"What nonsense, don't hurry up and invite in!"
Shi Quanhai was furious, this is a princess! What identity do you have as Lao Tzu and still use the word princess to ask to see?
The guard said in a panic: "Yes, yes......" hurriedly ran out of the door, as if he was afraid that his head would be lost if he was one step too late! After the guards left, Shi Quanhai frowned and muttered: "Why did this princess come up to my mansion, if you want to say that it is Lord Li, it's okay to say!" This princess...... Could it be that something happened to Master Li? ”
Thinking of this, Shi Quanhai was startled, and hurriedly walked out of the house to greet him personally! Before he reached the gate, Shi Quanhai and Li Qing met each other!
"Xiaguan Shiquanhai greets the princess!"
Li Qing nodded and said, "Get up!" Today, the princess came to ask Lord Shi for help, and I hope Lord Shi will not refuse! Li Qing's words can be said to be very face-saving for Shi Quanhai, and Li Qing would have ordered it a long time ago if he had replaced someone else!
"It's an honor to be able to do things for the princess! Please show the princess! The next official must go all out! Shi Quanhai hurriedly expressed his heartfelt feelings, and Shi Quanhai's approach made Li Qing feel at ease!
"Today, the pony was assassinated, so this princess wants Lord Shi to send some men and horses to search for assassins in the whole city! The Assassin had a visible wound, and that was in his arm! After Li Qing finished speaking, Shi Quanhai nodded and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”
After Shi Quanhai finished speaking, he called a guard over and said, "Go!" Call all the county officials in Luoyang, and say that this official has something big to announce! ”
"Yes!" The guards hurriedly answered and hurriedly conveyed the news! Shi Quanhai frowned and said solemnly: "I don't know if Lord Li's injury is serious now?" ”
"It's fine! Okay, Princess Ben will go back first! After Li Qing finished speaking, he left in a hurry! She wants to go back and look at her husband now, and she's scared!
Shi Quanhai hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the princess ......"
……
Not long after Li Qing left, a group of people hurriedly walked in dressed in the official mansion! After this group of people walked into Shi Quanhai's mansion, they suddenly saw Shi Quanhai with his back to everyone, this was waiting for themselves and others! I ran over without stopping!
"My subordinates meet the prefect ......"
"Meet the Prefect's ......"
"Well, get up...... Shi Quanhai turned around and looked at everyone for a while before saying, "Hmm! Very good! It's all here! ”
"We are all ...... prefects" A county order was just about to make a sycophant, but before the filming was finished, it was interrupted by Shi Quanhai! I only heard Shi Quanhai say: "This official asked all of you to come over today, and there is an important thing for you to do!" ”
"I don't know what happened to the prefect?" A middle-aged man wearing a county magistrate's uniform and looking very elegant asked suspiciously. Shi Quanhai glanced at him, this man was a subordinate when he was a county magistrate before! He sat in the position of the prefect, and naturally he also ascended to heaven!
"I can't tell you yet, you just need to do what the official asks!" These words made everyone feel helpless for a while, and Shi Quanhai continued: "You immediately mobilize everyone in the mansion and let them check on one person!" This person has an obvious characteristic, that is, he has an arm injury, or a new injury! ”
As soon as Shi Quanhai's words landed here, a chubby county magistrate over there asked, "Is this an assassin?" Shi Quanhai's eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, is it a fart to be an official?!" ”
"Damn it! Subordinates damn it! Please forgive me~" The county commander hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy loudly, his body was soaked with sweat! Shi Quanhai said in a cold voice: "If it weren't for the fact that it was time to employ people, this official would definitely not be able to spare you!" Get up! ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you~" The chubby county magistrate got up tremblingly, and then wiped the sweat on his head with his hands, looking like he was living for the rest of his life!
"I say it again, no matter his age, male or female, old or young! As long as there is a new injury on the arm, all of them will be arrested by this official! After Shi Quanhai finished speaking, he waved his hand to everyone and said, "Go!" I am waiting for your good news! ”
"Yes! The lower official retired ......"
After the county commanders were gone, Shi Quanhai pondered for a while, and then ran in the direction of the Li Mansion with some guards!
……
This matter has been publicized by the people until everyone in the streets and alleys knows that Li Ke was assassinated! Until now, the murderer has not been found, and the Qu Mansion at this time is also a gathering of officers and soldiers!
"Grandpa Guo! It's ......"
Seeing so many people gathered, Qu Tushou's cronies asked half suspiciously, but they didn't continue to ask!
"Lao Li's goods and Nima were assassinated, and now my father wants to bring someone to help this goods...... Alas! Qu Tushou sighed and muttered, "How can this Nima be more harmed than the emperor?" Is this heaven not allowing Lao Li? ”
"Grandpa! I don't know if I should say a sentence ...... subordinates."
Qu Tushou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Huan Ning! What kind of relationship do we have?! You have been in the Qu Mansion since you were a child, and you still grew up with your father! If you have something to say, just say it! ”
The man's face was moved for a while, and then he said, "This Lord Li can send people to arrest assassins all over the city, but Grandpa can't do this!" ”
"Why is that?"
Qu Tushou asked puzzledly, why can't Li Ke do it himself? Huan Ning said: "Guogong! This Lord Li is used to acting like this, even if His Majesty knows, he can only say that he is doing things nonsense! But if Guogong does this, it will be a big deal! Although the military power of the Duke of Guo has been handed over, the residual power of the old Duke of Guo is still there! There will inevitably be people with good intentions who misinterpret the intentions of the national prince......"
"Won't you...... How many soldiers and horses are there in this entire Guogong Mansion? How could it be ......" Before Qu Tushou finished speaking, Huan Ning said again: "Could it be that Guogong forgot why Lord Li was assassinated?" Master Li may have inadvertently ruined some people's good deeds, or made some people jealous! That's why he was assassinated! ”
Qu Tushou muttered: "Even so, this duke no longer has military power, only the name of the national duke!" Wouldn't you be targeted too? ”
Huan Ning said: "It's not right for Guogong to think so, dare to ask Guogong!" Who are you going to help this time? Qu Tushou said speechlessly: "Naturally, it's Lao Li, if you have anything to say, hurry up!" Don't waste time! ”
"Since Guogong is going to help Lord Li, then Lord Li has been assassinated by the people behind the scenes! If Guogong helped Master Li, it would be against the person behind the scenes! That ......" Huan Ning hadn't finished speaking, Qu Tushou's face changed, and he said angrily: "Enough!" ”
Huan Ning was also taken aback by Qu Tushou's roar, only to hear Qu Tushou say: "Lao Li is the brother of this father, how can this palace sit idly by?" What's more, it's not once or twice that my father-in-law has helped Li Ke, what's wrong? Huan Ning! You have disappointed my father in this matter! After Qu Tushou finished speaking, he said to the guards who had already assembled: "Set off with my father!" ”
