Chapter 491. Storm (2).
……
……
Baoxing Pavilion is a medical hall near the west city of Beijing, the scale is not large, the reputation is not high, the level of the doctor is just ordinary, barely able to treat some minor diseases, but if you encounter a serious patient, you will often be helpless, so the business of this medical center has always been tepid, and it rarely attracts the attention of others.
However, on this day, the obscure Baoxing Pavilion suddenly became the focus of attention in the entire capital, attracting the attention of countless people!
In the afternoon of this day, halfway through the Shen hour, suddenly a carriage hurried to the door of the Baoxing Pavilion, and then saw a young man holding a girl covered in blood got off the carriage and ran into the Baoxing Pavilion, the girl seemed to be injured, and at this time she had fallen into a coma.
Later, I don't know when it happened, the Baoxing Pavilion turned out to be a rejuvenating teacher, as if facing a great enemy, not only the old hall owner who had been out of medical treatment for a long time went out in person, but also drove out the rest of the guests in the medical hall, and everyone from the old hall owner and below was surrounded by the injured girl, and the attitude was extremely attentive.
Later, there was a rickety old man who hurried to the Bao Xing Pavilion, claiming to be the world's famous doctor Zhang Decheng, but he was recruited by others to personally heal the injured girl, and this Zhang Shen Doctor had a great temper, after he came to the Bao Xing Pavilion, he immediately occupied the magpie's nest and turned against the guest, it seems that he thinks that the level of doctors here is too low, and he will only cause trouble to himself, and he actually drove out several doctors in the Bao Xing Pavilion, leaving only the old owner of the Bao Xing Pavilion to help himself.
Later, the officials of Shuntian Mansion such as Fu Yin, Fu Cheng, and Tong Ju hurried to the outside of the Bao Xing Pavilion, and as soon as they appeared, they commanded the officials to disperse all the crowds around the Bao Xing Pavilion, and then they entered the Bao Xing Pavilion again, as if they wanted to comfort the injured and consult the situation, but before they could make a cup of tea, they were also driven out, and it seemed that they were hindering Zhang Decheng's treatment.
In the end, the officials of the Three Law Division and the Six Doors arrived, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang spies arrived, the generals of the Beijing Forbidden Army arrived, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zuo Lanshan and the university scholar Huo Zhengyuan and other court officials also arrived.
These officials, all of them had solemn expressions, as if they had encountered something big, and after they appeared, they all wanted to enter the Baoxing Pavilion to pay a visit, but because of the precedent of Shuntianfu Yin being kicked out, they didn't dare to enter to cause chaos - if they were also kicked out, they would inevitably lose face - so they could only wait anxiously outside the Baoxing Pavilion.
At the same time, martial law appeared in the capital, and the access to the city gate was restricted.
Such a situation of rejuvenating the teachers and mobilizing the people naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the capital.
People in the capital have always been fond of boasting and gossiping and rumors, and when they saw such a big movement, they naturally talked about it and speculated constantly, and they did not know what kind of major event had happened, which actually alarmed all the forces of the government and the opposition.
Soon, a well-informed person spread the true situation, but it turned out to be Zhao Junchen, a second-class member of the imperial court and a secretary of the household department, who was assassinated during his leisure trip to the West Market! In the end, although Zhao Junchen narrowly escaped his life, Zhao Junchen's companion woman was seriously injured and is now dying!
After such news came out, it immediately shocked the government and the opposition and caused an uproar!
In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qian, the second-class members of the imperial court were assassinated near the downtown at the feet of the Son of Heaven and almost died, such a situation can be described as rare in the ages, and the world is wonderful!
I'm afraid that because of this incident, the imperial court will usher in an earthquake, and the situation in the temple will change to a greater or lesser extent!
Therefore, the officials of the court and all forces were a little worried after hearing the news.
However, Zhao Junchen's reputation in the capital is still bad, so after this news fell into the ears of many Qingliu and the people, it actually caused a festive scene of bullet crowns.
Even, there are many Qingliu who think that this assassination represents that Zhao Junchen is now the finger of Wanfu and angry and resentful, so there will be "righteous people" to take action and eliminate harm for the people.
Yes, there are many people who have already characterized the assassin of Zhao Junchen as a "righteous man", and they can't wait to put a final conclusion on this matter!
But I don't know how Zhang Wei, who has done a lot of evil, will feel in his heart after learning that he will also be sought after as a "righteous man"!
*****
At this time, inside the Baoxing Pavilion.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Cui Qianxue's first aid finally ended.
Outside the quiet room, after Zhao Junchen saw Zhang Decheng appear, he immediately greeted him and asked, "Doctor Zhang, how is Miss Cui's condition?" ”
Zhao Junchen's expression was still calm, but his slightly eager tone showed his true mood at this time.
Zhang Decheng's expression was a little tired, and he said, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhao, Miss Cui's situation has gradually stabilized and improved...... In fact, after Miss Cui's shoulder injury, although the wound was very deep, it was not a big deal, but the treatment was not timely, which made her lose too much blood, and she consumed a lot of physical strength at that time, but it greatly damaged her vitality, plus she was frightened and worried, which caused the evil qi to enter the body, so she will be in a coma until now...... Some troublesome things are that Miss Cui's body is too weak now, but it is not replenished, although it is gradually stabilized, but if you want to fully recover and leave no future troubles, you still need to slowly recuperate for a long time. ”
After hearing Zhang Decheng's reply, Zhao Junchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't be afraid to recuperate slowly, no matter how precious the medicinal materials are, they are just ordinary for Zhao Junchen, as long as Cui Qianxue is fine.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen said to Zhang Decheng: "Since this is the case, in the future, I will trouble Doctor Zhang Shen to bother you a little more, and you must let Miss Cui recover completely." ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Zhang Decheng's face flashed with dissatisfaction.
He was originally a "Buddha born with incense from ten thousand homes" who traveled to the people and healed all the people, and he always liked the poor and hated the rich, and was never willing to bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, but since he came to the capital and lived in the Zhao Mansion, he either had to worry about Zhao Junchen's descendants, or because of Zhao Junchen's relationship, he wanted to heal the body of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, and now he had to treat Cui Qianxue's injuries for Zhao Junchen...... In this way, he is almost about to become Zhao Junchen's exclusive doctor.
For such a situation, Zhang Decheng was naturally dissatisfied.
However, thinking of the medical school promised by Zhao Junchen, Zhang Decheng finally suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and nodded in agreement.
It can be seen that once the human heart has desires, there will be flaws and be used by others, thinking that when Zhang Decheng had no desires and no desires, he could speak unscrupulously, and he would never put on a good face to Zhao Junchen, but since he asked Zhao Junchen, he could only let Zhao Junchen drive.
In this world, there are only a few people who have no desires and no desires, and the vast majority of people have all kinds of desires in their hearts, so villains like Zhao Junchen, who are good at doing what they like, are also destined to be popular.
Looking at the change in Zhang Decheng's expression, Zhao Junchen flashed such emotion in his heart.
Then, Zhao Junchen changed his serious and deep expression and walked towards the outside of the Baoxing Pavilion.
After their own continuous delays, the major forces of the imperial court must have been waiting extremely anxiously.
*****
At the same time, outside the Baoxing Pavilion.
Yin Xuegui's face was a little pale, and his expression was even more anxious, and he could no longer see the spirit of the past.
In the capital, the forces of all parties are intertwined, there are countless high-ranking officials and nobles, and if something happens casually, it will involve the interests of all aspects, so the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin has always been a crater, and it is not easy to sit.
However, Xue Gui has been in the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin for eight years, and he is still in a stable position, in addition to his own calm heart, sleek means, and strategy, but also because his backer is Zhou Shangjing! With Zhou Shangjing's support, no matter how troublesome things are, they can be solved smoothly; At the same time, after Xue Gui secured the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin, Zhou Shangjing could easily control every move in the capital.
However, since learning about Zhao Junchen's assassination, Xue Gui has never seen his former calm appearance, on the one hand, he urgently ordered all the forces of Shuntian Mansion to hunt down the murderer, and on the other hand, he hurried to the Baoxing Pavilion to visit and comfort Zhao Junchen, and also asked Zhao Junchen about the case by the way.
It's a pity that Zhao Junchen was not in the mood to deal with him at all, and after just a few words of conversation, he "invited" Xue Gui out.
It seems that after the assassination, Zhao Junchen was also a little angry with Xue Gui, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and he no longer had the polite appearance of the past.
Vaguely, Xue Gui felt that because of this matter, his position in Shuntian Mansion Yin might not be stable, in broad daylight, there were murderers in the capital who assassinated the court officials, the nature of this matter was too serious, Xue Gui would inevitably have to bear some responsibility, and at that time, I am afraid that even Zhou Shangjing would not be able to protect Xue Gui.
However, Xue Gui is still lucky, feeling that if he can catch the murderer of Zhao Junchen as soon as possible, he may be able to make up for his mistakes and preserve his official position.
So, while waiting anxiously outside the Baoxing Pavilion, seeing that Zhao Junchen had not appeared for a long time, Xue Gui couldn't help but feel irritable in his heart, and once again asked Zhang Bao, the Shuntian Mansion Mansion beside him: "What news have you found out about those officials who were sent out?" Did the murderer of Lord Zhao find any traces? ”
In just half an hour, this was the eleventh time Xue Gui had asked Zhang Bao this question.
Zhang Bao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Lord Yin, the scope of the capital is too large, the population is too large, Lord Zhao, he is just worried about Cui Qianxue's injury now, and he is completely unwilling to talk to us in depth, so we don't know the detailed characteristics of this murderer at all. ”
After hearing Zhang Bao's answer, Xue Gui's face was resentful, but he complained a little that Zhao Junchen didn't know the priorities and didn't explain the details to himself at all. At that time, how can he keep his position as Shuntian Mansion Yin?
However, Zhao Junchen has a high power, and now he is a victim in the limelight, Xue Gui naturally did not dare to complain about Zhao Junchen, but he shook his head again and again and walked back and forth more and more anxiously.
In fact, the reason why Zhao Junchen was reluctant to explain the details to Xue Gui and Zhang Bao was that he wanted to delay time and gain a head start for the West Factory, so that the West Factory could arrest Zhang Wei first and take this key person certificate into his own hands; The second is to show his angry attitude and further expand the impact of his assassination.
Of course, Xue Gui couldn't guess Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and after waiting anxiously for a while, he asked Fu Cheng Zhang Bao again, "Is there any new news from Zhou Ge Lao?" ”
Xue Gui also asked Zhang Bao this question ten times.
Zhang Bao was a little helpless about Xue Gui's repeated inquiries, but he still replied: "Zhou Ge Lao didn't have any new instructions, just asked us to solve the case as soon as possible and wait patiently." ”
After hearing Zhang Bao's answer, Xue Gui shook his head and sighed, only feeling that he couldn't help himself and was embarrassed.
……
Just when Yin Xuegui's mood in Shuntian Mansion became more and more anxious, a group of "Zhao Party" officials also gathered outside the Baoxing Pavilion to discuss the assassination of Zhao Junchen.
After learning about Zhao Junchen's assassination, all the "Zhao Party" officials from Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar, rushed to the Baoxing Pavilion as quickly as possible - after all, Zhao Junchen is their backer, if Zhao Junchen is assassinated, they will also lose their support, so the "Zhao Party" people are particularly concerned about this matter.
Fortunately, Zhao Junchen is fine, but this is also a great opportunity for the "Zhao Party" to show loyalty to Zhao Junchen!
Therefore, at this time, outside the Debao Xing Pavilion, the officials of the "Zhao Party" gathered together, and no one was absent, compared with other officials, the expressions of the officials of the "Zhao Party" were more serious, and they were more concerned about the truth of this matter.
"Master Huo, who do you think is the real culprit behind the assassination of Lord Zhao, who dares to assassinate Lord Zhao in broad daylight and in the middle of the city? Isn't this person afraid that he will arouse the anger of the officials? ”
After everyone gathered together, Zuo Lanshan asked Huo Zhengyuan.
Among the "Zhao Party", the person who is most concerned about Zhao Junchen's safety is undoubtedly Zuo Lanshan, because if Zhao Junchen is killed, then he will completely lose hope of entering the cabinet, so Zuo Lanshan's face is full of anger.
Compared with Zuo Lanshan, Huo Zhengyuan's performance was more calm, after hearing Zuo Lanshan's inquiry, Huo Zhengyuan's eyes showed a contemplative look, and he replied slowly: "As far as I know, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one has such courage to do such a stupid thing!" After all, if Lord Zhao is killed, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and the assassination of the court officials is too sensitive, and it will inevitably cause the common hatred of hundreds of officials. ”
In the temple, there are some unspoken rules, which have been agreed by all officials, one of which is that assassination must not be used against political opponents, even if such means are used, it must not be noticed! After all, in the temple, everyone has their own political enemies, and everyone is also someone else's political enemy, if they all use assassination to resolve the conflict, then there will be no one in the court in a few days, and the court officials are extremely disgusted with this method out of their own safety.
Today, Zhao Junchen's assassination is obviously someone who has challenged this unspoken rule, and has also crossed the bottom line of the hundred officials of the imperial court, which will inevitably cause the same hatred of the hundred officials, even if it is the crown prince Zhu Heyu, or the first assistant Shen Changmao, although they have a deep contradiction with Zhao Junchen, they will definitely stand on Zhao Junchen's side at this time!
Therefore, Huo Zhengyuan couldn't imagine who would be so bold and stupid as to dare to be the enemy of the entire officialdom!
After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's answer, Zuo Lanshan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked softly: "Last night, Lord Zhao and Shen Shoufu had a conflict, so that Shen Shoufu repeatedly failed to come to the stage, which was quite a loss of face, and Shen Shoufu has always been a character who must be revenged, and this morning, he instructed the officials of the 'Shen Party' to impeach Lord Zhao, but they were all blocked back by His Majesty...... Scholar Huo, do you think this matter will have anything to do with Shen Shoufu? ”
With Zuo Lanshan's inquiry, the surrounding "Zhao Dang" were all shocked, shocked or excited.
If it was really Shen Changmao who sent someone to assassinate Zhao Junchen, then as long as Zhao Junchen found evidence, he could successfully bring down Shen Changmao! In this way, the "Zhao Party" will also have one less great enemy in the DPRK and China, and the "Zhao Party" will also be much smoother in its action to rectify commercial taxes in the future!
But Huo Zhengyuan quickly shook his head and denied Zuo Lanshan's speculation, and said: "It will never be Shen Shoufu, although Shen Shoufu has a conflict with Lord Zhao, but he knows the rules of officialdom very well, and now is not the time to be forced to do so, although he has always had a strong personality, he will never use this method......"
However, halfway through the conversation, Huo Zhengyuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, but he interrupted his speech, and changed the conversation, and said: "In fact, who is the mastermind behind the assassination of Lord Zhao, let's not say this matter, others don't count, even if the mastermind behind the scenes personally stands up and admits it, it can't be counted...... In the end, it still depends on Lord Zhao's attitude! ”
"Lord Zhao's attitude?" Zuo Lanshan was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically.
Huo Zhengyuan nodded, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Lord Zhao is the victim and the only witness at present, his evidence is naturally very important, if Lord Zhao testifies that someone is the mastermind behind the scenes, even if there is no tangible evidence, this person will definitely get into trouble!" …… So, next, it depends on whether Lord Zhao wants to find out the truth, or who will bear the blame! ”
Just now, Huo Zhengyuan was about to deny Zuo Lanshan's speculation, but he suddenly thought that judging from Zhao Junchen's character, if he finally threw this black cauldron on Shen Changmao's head, it was also very possible! After all, in this way, Zhao Junchen can get the greatest benefits, and interests have always been the only consideration when Zhao Junchen does things!
If the real murderer behind the scenes can't bring obvious benefits to Zhao Junchen after being discovered, then Zhao Junchen will definitely defend the real murderer behind the scenes, even if the real murderer behind the scenes almost killed him - this is Zhao Junchen!
And just as Huo Zhengyuan was explaining, someone suddenly shouted: "Lord Zhao is out!" Lord Zhao is out! ”
