Chapter 6: The Sting (Five Ups)

Seeing Bai Jingzhi crying, Wang Xun immediately felt a pain in his heart, stretched out his hand, grabbed the other party's hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't cry, no matter who you are aiming for, I will block it." I don't believe it, the evidence of his private assassin and stealing Fubo crossbow is made public, and everyone in Chang'an City can pretend to turn a blind eye! ”

"Erlang, I, I ......" Hearing Wang Xun say frankly and magnificently, Bai Jingzhi felt more and more miserable in her heart, sobbing and choking, and tears fell in strings. As a dusty woman, after trying to marry a founding father, the disparity in status between the two parties has already made this marriage as fragile as thin ice. Now there is another charge of misconduct and causing trouble for men, and if you want the Wang family to accept yourself, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to ascend to the sky.

Everyone turned their heads sideways, and the expressions on their faces were not embarrassed. "It turned out to be a romantic case!" The Qin brothers grinned lightly, regretting that they didn't ask clearly, so they rushed over with Bai Jingzhi. "I'm afraid this woman is a concubine and a green pearl! Brother Wang had better turn back early. Lao Cheng was as serious as Zhang Patrol, and he also sighed secretly in his heart. Only Lei Wanchun frowned and said loudly: "It was someone else who robbed and killed you, why did it become your fault again?" Which bastard made such a mess? You tell me that if the government refuses to take care of it, I'll stand up for you!" (Note 1)

"Brother Lei......." Bai Jingzhi glanced up at Lei Wanchun, wanting to say, but didn't know how to say it.

"Sister Bai, at least tell everyone who wants to take you away, is it too late to cry? If he can't grab you this time, he will inevitably come a second time. "The pony side has the least thoughts, and the most direct words." Maybe he hates his second brother too, so let's take some precautions in advance, right? ”

"It's Wei Wei Shaoqing Wang Zhun!" Gently shook Bai Jingzhi's hand, and Wang Xun gave her an answer. "The assassin has already confessed, and the three of them are going to scare Sister Bai half to death today, and then take advantage of the chaos to take her away. If you miss, kill people! ”

Hearing the words "kill people and kill mouths", Bai Jingzhi's body suddenly trembled. raised his teary eyes and looked at Wang Xun, but he couldn't see any disgust on the other party's face. On the contrary, there was a warm feeling between the palms of her hands, which made her cold heart soften little by little.

"It turned out to be him, no wonder he dared to steal the Fubo crossbow!" Qin Guozhen's words just came, and they reached Bai Jingzhi's ears word for word, "That kid has been lawless by relying on his father's power. This sneak attack failed, and he may not be willing to give up easily. But ......."

"He's not just trying to kidnap me!" Bai Jingzhi suddenly suppressed her tears and interrupted loudly. "He was afraid that I would reveal his secret, so he ......."

Looking at Wang Xun's face, she hoped to get his approval. Wang Xun nodded with a smile and encouraged in a low voice, "It's okay, you say it, let everyone be prepared." After all, there's a lot of trouble involved! ”

"Hmm!" Bai Jingzhi nodded lightly, and her voice was unprecedentedly gentle, "Three days ago, a guy who claimed to be Wang Zhun came to charter my field, and Honggu agreed when she saw that he was happy to pay for it. Unexpectedly, after he entered the room, he refused to listen to the song well, but said some crazy words, asking me to marry into the Taiyuan Mansion and be his concubine. When I refused to answer, he brought me a large ingot of gold and asked me if I remember what the guests had said to me before. I told him that there were a lot of people who came to Jinhualou to listen to me sing, and it was impossible for me to go to my heart if anyone said anything. Please don't insult me. Then, he dropped a few harsh words and slammed the door and left. I thought he was just a spoiled boy, so I didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, today's incident happened right after! ”

"And what the hell does he want to know?"

"Do you remember who the guests he asked?" Yan Jiming and Zhang Xun asked two extremely similar questions one after the other.

The white vigil bit lightly on her lips, not knowing how to answer. Looking up at Wang Xun's angular face, she nodded and said in a low voice: "He asked Zhou Bojun, Zhang Shuang and Gongsun Liang, whether they had ever eaten and listened to songs together at my place, and said that they had not said anything about the Taiyuan Mansion during the banquet." In addition, three other people, a few months ago, were also involved in the same case as Zida. It was a few days later than Zida was released from prison. Indeed, I once came to Jinhua Building to listen to the song and was shocked. But only that time! Haven't been here since! ”

"It's really impossible for them to come to Jinhua Building again. Zhang Xiaohou Ye fell into the Qujiang Pond and drowned two months ago! Yuwen Zida frowned, and added in a deep voice. Uncle Zhou went out hunting last month when he was knocked off his horse by a wild boar and broke his neck. Only Gongsun Liang, just a few days after he was released from prison, he was sent to Yuyang by a letter from his grandfather and took refuge under An Lushan. So barely survived! ”

"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. If it weren't for Yu Wenzhi's reminder, no one would have been able to link the two common accidents in the Jingshi with Bai Jingzhi's assassination today.

"What Wang Zhun wants to cover up, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary secret!" Among the people, Zhang Xun, the eldest among them, also changed his face, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Bai Xingshou, what they said that day, do you really not remember it at all?" ”

"I, how could I possibly remember!" Bai Jingzhi shook her head and choked up. She was still worried that Wang Xun's opinion of herself would be affected because of Wang Zhun's misdeeds. Now, he found that he might implicate Wang Xun to put his life and future into it, and when he was in a hurry, tears kept falling.

"Okay, okay, the sky can still fall!" couldn't bear to see her crying sadly, Wang Xun smiled and comforted her in a low voice. "The Assassins were imprisoned in the White Horse Fort barracks. The Fubo crossbow he had stolen was also put away by General Zhou. If he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, I'll send the evidence to the top to see who can end up well! ”

Hearing him decisively, Bai Jingzhi slowly regained some courage in her heart. After thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "Ke Erlang, the future you just found........

"Okay, the hand of the Wang family can't reach out to the Praetorian Guard yet." Wang Xun smiled slightly, his face full of not caring. Both assassins were slaughtered by themselves, no matter how bad things were, what else could they do? Could it be that because of the strength of Wang Zhun's father and son, he couldn't push Bai Jingzhi out by himself? In that way, who have you become, and how will you gain a foothold in this world in the future?

"If their Wang family deceives people too much, let's fight with him together!" Ma Fang also waved his scimitar and said loudly. "After all, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, can his Wang family still be able to buy all the officials?"

Qin Guoyong looked at his younger brother, and then said with a smile, "That's not necessarily, as far as I know, Wang Ji himself has not had a good time recently." This matter, there is a good chance that Wang Zhun did it without his grandfather. That guy never knew that the sky was high and the earth was thick. ”

"yes, for what happened last time. Li is very dissatisfied with Wang Jingzhao! Qin Guozhen nodded, annotating his brother's words.

This is a secret that no one else can touch, and for a while, everyone's attention was attracted by Qin Guozhen. Under the urging gaze of everyone, Qin Guozhen had no choice but to add in a low voice, "Last time, Yang Guozhong used a handle to force Wang Jiao to take the lead in retreating. Later, because he was afraid of Gao Lishi's interference, Li Linfu had to shake hands with Yang Guozhong and make peace. But in his heart, Li Linfu hated Wang Jiao very much for betraying him. Now, sandwiched between the two major forces of Yang and Li, Wang Ji is already working hard. Who would have expected that his son Wang Zhun would not wake up at this moment, and would continue to cause trouble for the Wang family. If so......."

If today's matter is used by someone with a heart, the Wang family may be doomed. Qin Guozhen didn't finish his words, but everyone present heard it clearly. "So Bai Xingshou and Ming Yun, don't worry about Wang Zhun using his grandpa's power to deal with you in Ming." Qin Guoyong took his younger brother's words and added with a smile, "If it's from Yin, as long as we take more precautions, we may not be afraid of him!" ”

"Ming Yun is in the barracks, so he doesn't have to worry about his safety. Bai Xingshou's side, I'll see if I can find a few old friends and take care of them secretly! Lei Wanchun thought about it and took the initiative to share his friends' worries and solve problems.

"Instead of passively responding to the battle, it is better to take the initiative to force him to stop!" Yan Jiming shook his head and rejected with a smile, "Isn't there an assassin in Brother Wang's hands who is not dead?" Copy out a copy of his confession and send someone to the Taiyuan Mansion to send it, I believe that their father and son will not dare to make another time! ”

This method is the same as the trick that Zhang Xun forced Yang Guozhong to do last time, which made everyone turn their heads to him at the time. Yan Jiming was a little embarrassed by everyone, arched his hand around, and reported to his home with a smile, "Langya Yan Jiming, I've seen your brothers!" ”

At this time, Wang Xun realized that he had not introduced the friends he had just met to everyone, so he quickly let go of Bai Jingzhi's hand, and smiled and hugged his fists at everyone, "Brothers, I was negligent." This Brother Yan has helped me a lot this morning. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have sent myself to the prison in Chang'an County! ”

"Brother Wang is serious. I just happened to meet at the time, so I can't sit idly by! Yan Jiming was praised by him, his face turned red, and he smiled and humbled himself.

"Langya Yan's family, but the same clan of Pingyuan Yan Taishou?" Qin Guoyong has studied the genealogy of each family name the most, and after hearing the other party report himself as a Langya person, he thought about it and asked with a smile.

"It's Yan's second uncle!" Yan Jiming nodded and responded with a smile.

"It turned out to be the son of Haozhou Yan Thorn History!" Zhang Xun also came to his senses immediately, and stepped forward to greet the other party with a smile. "Foolish brother Zhang Xun, I have had several friends with Lord Lingzun!"

"The little nephew guessed that it was Uncle Zhang just now, and he didn't dare to recognize each other rashly!" Yan Jiming hurriedly jumped off his mount and greeted him as a junior.

Zhang Xun also jumped off the horse and pulled him up with a smile, "Let's settle it alone." Otherwise, all the brothers here will be a generation older than you. ”

Yan Jiming also laughed, and according to Zhang Xun's words, he called the other party brother. Zhang Xun pulled him with a smile and saw the Qin brothers, Ma Fang, Yu Wenzhi and others again. Counting it up, the elders of the group have some friendship around the corner, and it is not an exaggeration to call each other world friends.

After some greetings, Wang Xun and Bai Jingzhi were left aside. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, Wang Xun thought about it and whispered to Bai Jingzhi: "Don't be afraid, with me, others can't help you." I have discussed it with Aunt Yun when I turn around, and I can take a sedan chair to carry you into the house. I don't believe it, in broad daylight, they still dare to come to Chongrenfang to rob people! ”

If these words had been put in the past, Bai Jingzhi would definitely have to ask what kind of identity she had when she entered the Wang family. And now, I can only feel a strong concern from Wang Xun's words. Nodding his head, he let out a low "um", and in an instant, the red spread from his cheeks to his neck.

Seeing that Bai Jingzhi had two red-eyed bubbles, but she was shy, Wang Xun felt very interesting in her heart. For the time being, he put aside the matter of how to deal with Wang Jie's father and son, and thought about the other party attentively: "Aunt Yun is actually a very good person to get along with, as long as you don't deliberately offend her." Ziluo's girl is a little petty, but she won't target you everywhere. When I go back, I will make a rule for the people not to scorn you, even when I am not at home......."

He was only halfway through his sentence when he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves. Everyone turned their heads one after another, and saw dozens of evil servants dressed in black, led by a leprosy ghost in a brocade robe, surrounded by a fierce man.

"Be careful!" Lei Wanchun shouted loudly and took the lead in pulling out his weapon. Nanjiyun's long sword is out of the sheath, and the longitudinal horse is on par with it. More than a dozen Qin Mansion generals were well-trained, and quickly dispersed into two rows, with Lei and Nan as the forwards, forming a wild goose formation, and firmly protecting the rest in the center of the team.

It was already about midnight, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the official road, and when they saw the two groups of people rattling, they fled into the wilderness in fright, and took a detour far away. In a moment, he gave way to the wide official road.

The tuberculosis ghost who led the team gave an order, and all the evil servants quickly formed a team. A phalanx was formed in a mess, and although there were many people, the momentum was more than one point worse than here.

"Wait!" Seeing that the two sides were about to fight together, Qin Guoyong separated everyone, rode his horse to the front of the team, and gently arched his hand at the tuberculosis ghost, "In broad daylight, I don't know what happened to Wang Shaoqing blocking the way for me to wait?" ”

"Hehe, I guess whose family is it, who is even better trained than the royal guards? It turned out to be the people and horses on the Hu Guogong Mansion! Little Grandpa Qin, dare to ask with Hu Guogong's residual power, can you forcibly take away my family's fugitive concubine? ”

"Your runaway concubine?" Seeing that the other party was talking about things, Qin Guoyong couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Immediately, realizing that the other party was suing the wicked first, he sneered a few times, shook his head and reprimanded, "I only saw someone relying on the power of his father's generation to try to rob the people's daughter." But I didn't see where your fugitive concubine was? Could it be that for Wang Shaoqing, as long as you see a woman with a slight appearance, you have to be your concubine? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over that woman, we won't bother with you!" Standing behind the tuberculosis ghost, a strong man from the Western Regions who was too tall and had a big waist shouted loudly.

"That's right, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get out!" A domestic slave fox pretended to be a tiger, and constantly waved weapons at Qin Guoyong.

Qin Guoyong was very well cultivated, ignoring those evil slaves, and only staring at the tuberculosis ghost who took the lead. As if he hadn't heard what his subordinates were saying, the leprosy man clasped his hands to his chest and looked contemptuous.

At this moment, there is no need for anyone to introduce him, just from Bai Jingzhi's frightened face, Wang Xun can guess who the visitor is. also separated everyone and came to Qin Guoyong's side, standing side by side with each other. He didn't speak, but his eyes were like knives, looking at the evil servants who were in a constant noise.

After more than four months of training in the military camp, he became as tall as a mountain. Coupled with the blood stains that had not had time to be washed off, Deng Shi forced the evil slaves on the opposite side to breathe. Wherever Wang Xun's eyes looked, the clamor became quieter. Before the circle was finished, the team in front of him was already silent.

"You want to stand up for that?" The tuberculosis ghost Wang Zhun was unwilling to lose his momentum, took his mount forward, raised his horsewhip and pointed at Wang Xun, "It's up to you, and you don't weigh your own catties, your prince ........"

"Your prince doesn't have the time to give you idle today!" Wang Xun snatched the horsewhip with his hand, and with a slight stroke, he broke it into three. Throwing it to the ground casually, he said viciously: "Of the three assassins you sent, I killed two of them, and the rest were sent directly to the barracks." If you want to file a lawsuit, let's go directly to Dali Temple. Your prince will accompany you to the end. If you want to take revenge on them, let the horses come! ”

"You, you ......" The tuberculosis ghost Wang Zhun originally planned to take advantage of the large number of people and snatch Bai Jingzhi away first. Then slowly try to cover the basket that the Assassin had stabbed this morning. But he didn't expect the other party to be so tough, and in front of so many people, he dared to admit that the assassin was killed by him. And as soon as he came up, he gave himself a dismount.

This was completely out of his calculations. In the past, he Wang Zhun bullied others, and even Li Xiu, the son of Li Linfu, the prime minister of the dynasty, retreated. Who would have thought that this little seventh-grade military attache in front of him was actually bolder than Li Xiu! For the sake of a kabuki, he wanted to carry the Taiyuan royal family.

However, after stammering and shouting for a long time, he did not say anything more threatening. If this matter is caused by Dali Temple, I am afraid that my theft of weapons will be exposed immediately. But just returning with nothing is tantamount to leaving another fatal hidden danger.

The two evils seem to be light. Shouting and hesitating, Wang Zhun felt that he was becoming more and more discouraged. "Take him down for me!" Finally, he thought of an idea to turn the situation around, and while quickly turning the horse's head, he loudly summoned the evil slaves behind him to do it, "Brother Qin family, this is my personal grudge with him, you brothers don't care!" ”

Note 1: Xi Fei, the wife of Xi Hou in the Spring and Autumn Period, brought disaster to Xi Hou because of her beauty. Green Pearl, Shi Chong's favorite concubine during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, her beauty was coveted, which led to Shi Chong's extinction.
