Chapter 139: Prevarication
She was excited.
"Don't worry! Young Master Helian is fine, he went out early this morning, let me tell you that you don't have to worry about that matter, he will deal with it, and let you have a good rest. Le Ya reassured.
After listening to her words, Ye Lingyi finally quieted down and thought thoughtfully: He said he would deal with it? But Ye Zhenzhen killed thirty people in front of the imperial gate, how can such a big thing be understated?
Carefully looking at her expression, Le Ya still couldn't hold back her curiosity after all, and asked: "But Qing Kite, what is the matter that Young Master Helian said?" ”
Retracting her thoughts, Ye Lingyi glanced at her, and then changed the topic and asked, "How did I get here?" ”
Looking around, Ye Lingyi quickly recognized that this was Qingfeng's mother's home in Pomegranate Lane, because Ye Cheng and Le Ya lived here, Ye Lingyi had been here many times, so it was not a stranger.
"What else do you say?" Ye Cheng suddenly shouted, pouting and looking unhappy, "Late last night, I got up to pee, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, knocking very slowly, I asked who it was, but no one responded, but the very slow knock kept ......"
Speaking of which, he still looks like he has lingering palpitations.
"He thought it was a ghost." Le Ya smiled, took the words and said: "Then I cried and shouted and hid in my room, I felt that something was wrong and got up to look, but as soon as I opened the door, my soul was scared away by you." ”
Listening to her statement, Ye Lingyi's heart tightened and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Recalling the frightening scene last night, Le Ya glanced at her, and her tone gradually became heavy: "I saw Young Master Helian standing at the door with you in his arms, and the two of them were covered in blood, especially Young Master Helian, his face was as white as paper, and he couldn't even stand on his feet, as if he was about to fall down at any time, and he still held you firmly in his arms." You don't know, when we saw that, we thought you were ......."
Le Ya wanted to speak and stopped, and finally let out a long sigh: "Later, I found out that you only had an arrow wound on your shoulder, but it was Young Master Helian who was more seriously injured. However, Young Master Helian insisted on disagreeing, and we couldn't force it, but fortunately, there was still a little alchemist here who knew a little about medicine. ”
The eyes of the two turned to Ye Cheng.
Looking at the innocent Ye Cheng, Ye Lingyi's heart couldn't help but soften, raised his hand and touched his hair, and smiled: "Thank you, Ye Cheng!" ”
This is the first time she has said thank you to him as an older sister.
Thinking of her shameless behavior towards her own abduction on weekdays, Ye Cheng was actually a little moved in her heart.
But a little man will not put his emotions on the surface, don't turn his head around and say insincerely: "Hmph! You women just love to make a fuss! Save my brother, it's just a gesture, don't make a big fuss! ”
The two women were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
At this time, Mrs. Yu muttered something in her mouth and pushed the door in.
Seeing Ye Lingyi sitting on the bed, she immediately smiled, and said kindly: "Girl, you're awake, come, drink this bowl of chicken soup quickly, the wound can heal faster." ”
"Auntie! I'm really bothering you. Ye Lingyi's expression was soft, and she wanted to get up.
Mrs. Yu hurriedly put down the bowl and stopped her: "Girl, you don't have to be like this, you are still injured!" Before our children go out, they told me to take good care of you! ”
After that, he gave Le Ya a look.
Le Ya said as if he was empowered: "That's it, you forgot that Young Master Helian let you have a good rest?" He's on the side, and you don't want him to worry about your body while he's working, right? ”
Saying this, Ye Lingyi obediently did not move.
Le Ya nodded in satisfaction and fed her the soup bowl.
Ye Lingyi had never received this treatment, and immediately said, "I'll come by myself, right?" ”
"Huh?"
was glanced at by Le Ya, Ye Lingyi had no choice but to remain silent and let her feed.
Looking at the person who acted carefully and had a sincere expression, Ye Lingyi's heart surged with a burst of heat.
Mrs. Yu stood aside and watched, also looking relieved, and suddenly remembered Helian Che and became worried again: "Hey, I don't know how my child is?" Now that the whole city is under martial law, the soldiers are guarding in front of the imperial gate, but he is a lieutenant in the army, and he has to go to the inspector in person after being so seriously injured. ”
"Martial law in the whole city? Why? Le Ya's expression was puzzled, the hand that fed the soup paused for a moment, and then scooped a spoonful of soup and sent it to Ye Lingyi's mouth.
Ye Lingyi shook her head, saying that she had no appetite to drink any more, so she just looked at Yu Pozi, waiting for her answer.
"This thing is also strange, I heard the sixth aunt next door say that when her man was on the watch last night, he saw a number of soldiers surrounded in front of the imperial gate, and said, ......" Speaking of this, Yu Pozi looked out nervously, and saw that no one dared to continue: "It is also said that many people died in front of the imperial gate, and the corpses are piled up into a mountain!" ”
"Huh?" Le Ya was stunned.
Ye Lingyi frowned, her expression was complicated, and she was silent.
Mrs. Yu is also very good at observing words and feelings, and when she saw her depressed appearance, she immediately said: "Oh, look, this person talks a lot of nonsense when he gets old." The girl is still hurt, so I won't disturb her rest. ”
After saying that, he looked at Leya, and turned around and went out.
After Mrs. Yu left, Le Ya handed over the soup bowl in her hand that was almost drunk to Ye Cheng, so as to give him out.
Holding Ye Lingyi's hand, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" I see that your face is not good, is there something wrong? ”
Ye Lingyi hesitated, not knowing what to say for a while.
Le Ya had already guessed it, and cautiously tentatively said: "What Young Master Helian said he would deal with, could it be the corpse in front of the imperial gate?" ”
Ye Lingyi's silence was acquiescence.
"Sure enough......" Le Ya was shocked, and felt incredible, and lowered her voice and said: "Those people in front of the imperial gate should not have been killed by you, right?" ”
"It has nothing to do with him." Ye Lingyi was anxious to dissociate Helian Che from the imperial family, but unexpectedly gave Le Ya another answer.
"So, you're alone?"
In Le Ya's shocked gaze, she nodded.
"You're crazy!" Le Ya, who came back to God, immediately reprimanded, "That's the royal gate, the royal gate kills people, and it is a big crime to kill the head and exterminate the clan!" ”
"I know."
"Then you still ......"
Faced with Le Ya's incomprehensible appearance, she couldn't explain that it was another person in her body who did it, so she had to remain silent.
And such a tragedy in front of the imperial gate has already alarmed the palace.
When the sky was slightly bright, Li Yuanlin couldn't wait to lead a group of guards to the front of the imperial gate in person, and they also arrived with Helian Zhu, Cheng Ji and Wu Zuogu father and son.
The soft-faced man stood with his hands in his hands, watching a carriage slowly stop in the market, and a long figure stepped down from the carriage.
Li Yuanlin's eyes lit up as he appeared, and he looked behind him urgently, but he never saw the figure of his heart and mind.
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
At this end, as soon as he got off the carriage, Qingfeng, who was waiting on the side of the road, greeted him: "Master! ”
Helian Che's gaze locked on the distance, and he saw the soldiers standing in an "iron wall", and a pair of eyes were staring coldly through this "iron wall".
It's Helian betting.
Helian Che frowned, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
"The master's injury is not healed yet, do you want to tell the emperor and go back to rest first? Anyway, the blue kite was also found. ”
"Mouthy!" Helian Che glanced behind him and reprimanded mercilessly.
Qingfeng was deflated and touched his nose in a gray manner.
"What's going on now?"
Helian Che didn't stop and asked Qingfeng.
Qingfeng replied: "The emperor came early in the morning, and he also knew that the guards who held the royal chariot hostage were recommended by Cheng Ji to enter the palace, and the dramatic thing is that these dead people are all Cheng Ji's subordinates. ”
"What did Cheng Ji say?"
Qingfeng paused and replied: "Cheng Ji said that he didn't know about the recommendation at all, and it was true that the guard was his guard at the beginning, but then he stole his seal and wrote a letter of recommendation to imitate his notes before entering the palace, as for these dead people, it was because Cheng Ji's subordinates received a rumor that the third prince of the Heishui Department had come to Beijing, so they sent people to investigate the truth in disguise, but they didn't expect them to die in front of the emperor." ”
"The Third Prince of the Black Water Division?" Helian Che still didn't have any blood on his face, even the circles under his eyes were black, the whole person was haggard, and he looked back at Qingfeng in surprise.
"That's what Cheng Ji said."
"Then what did the Taishi say?"
Qingfeng thought for a moment and shook his head: "Taishi didn't say anything. ”
In other words, Cheng Ji deliberately put all the blame on the Blackwater people, and no one mentioned the captive green kite from beginning to end? If that's the case, why not go with the flow......
Helian Che fell into deep thought, and then quickened his pace and walked towards Li Yuanlin.
"See the emperor!"
Li Yuanlin glanced at him and made a false gesture: "Captain Helian, why is your face so ugly?" Could it be that you are sick? ”
"Emperor Xie cares, and his subordinates are fine!" Helian Che replied, and then waved at Helian Note not far away, and called: "Father! ”
"Hmm!" Helian nodded and put on a fatherly look.
At that time, Li Yuanlin coughed dryly, and said: "General Cheng, you said that these people were killed by the Heishui people, is there any definite evidence?" ”
"This ......" Cheng Ji was stumped, respectful, and his confidence was slightly insufficient: "The old minister received a report from the border line that the third prince of the Heishui Department sneaked into Tokyo, and he sent someone out to investigate for a moment of meritorious service, but he has not yet controlled the movement of the thief, and there is no actual evidence, the old minister should die!" ”
The guards who hijacked the carjacks and kidnapped people were silent, but they said that they were sending people to investigate the spies of the Black Water Department? It's just such a coincidence that his subordinates were killed in front of the imperial gate together with the guards who carjacked and kidnapped? And he didn't know it at all?
Not to mention for the time being, whether the people of Heishui have the courage to sacrifice themselves and forget to die in front of the emperor of the Western Dynasty to make a provocative article.
This Cheng Ji, does he think that he is so stupid and incompetent as an emperor? Do you dare to fool him with this kind of nonsense?
Li Yuanlin knew that he was talking nonsense, but he deliberately pretended to be confused: "This is strange, if it is really as General Cheng said, wouldn't it prove that the people of Heishui were in front of the imperial gate last night?" But how dare they kill people in front of the royal gate? ”
Cheng Ji, who bowed her head, rolled her eyes quickly, and immediately thought of a countermeasure and said: "Back to the emperor, the old minister suspects that the traitor of the guards is the meticulous work of the Heishui Ministry who broke into the palace, and last night he must have met with the Heishui spy to exchange spy reports, and he didn't want to be found out by our people, so he didn't hesitate to burn the jade and kill people!" ”
is a great joy and planting forces in the palace, and the two crimes are of course weighed which is more serious.
Li Yuanlin observed coldly, laughed suddenly, and said meaninglessly: "General Cheng is really ingenious and wise!" There is no evidence to make such a guess in front of me. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Ji's face changed suddenly, and she knelt on the ground and said in fear: "The old minister should die!" ”
Li Yuanlin ignored it, and instead asked Helian Note, who had been speechless, "What does the Taishi think?" ”
The thoughtful Helian Note only glanced at Cheng Ji on the ground, and bowed his head and said: "The truth of this matter is not yet known, and it needs to be investigated as soon as possible, but the old minister believes that what General Cheng said is not unreasonable." ”
Ambiguous, neither agreeing nor denying, no one can be offended.
Helian is really an old fox.
A hint of gloom flashed in Li Yuanlin's eyes, and he asked Helian Che again: "Captain Helian thinks so too?" ”
Everyone turned their attention to the haggard Helian Che.
"Back to the emperor, his subordinates think that what General Cheng said is very true."
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned, as if no one expected him to say this.
Helian Che shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Last night, His Majesty accidentally saw a few suspicious people wandering in the street market near the Imperial Gate, so he stepped forward to inquire, but as soon as His Majesty approached, those people attacked like crazy. After fighting with them, they found that these people were carrying a weapon made of yak bone, and they were all good at throwing moves, and their subordinates were defeated and injured, which made them flee. ”
With Helian Che's answer, Cheng Ji's confidence suddenly came up: "Your Majesty, it must be the spies of the Heishui Department who have infiltrated our dynasty, and the barbarian thieves dare to openly kill the people of the Western Dynasty in front of my emperor's gate!" The old minister implored the emperor to allow the old minister to lead troops to investigate! Get justice for my innocent soldiers who died tragically! ”
