Chapter 506 Investigation of the case
In the Prince's Mansion, Li Fengniang, who was originally angry, was angry because of Ye Qing's no-show, but when she heard that Ye Qing was assassinated and injured in Yongjin Tower at noon, she instantly calmed down the anger in her heart, and blurted out whether Zuo Yu was dead or not?
When she heard that she was not dead, Li Fengniang's heart was faintly lost, but it was accompanied by a hint of relief for no reason.
In the Deshou Palace, where Zhao Gou was located in the palace, when Princess Xin and the queen accompanied the queen mother and Zhao Gou to chat, Wang Lun quickly ran to him, looked at Princess Naxin, and then looked at Zhao Gou without saying anything.
"What's so flustered?" Zhao Gou habitually put one hand on his knee, looked at Wang Lun, who was a little anxious, and asked.
When the queen and Princess Xin got up to accompany the queen mother to leave, Zhao Gou waved his hand to signal them to sit down, and said: "If there is a big matter in the court, then it should be regarded as a court, and I will not be in a hurry to tell me." Say, what's the matter? ”
Wang Lun glanced at the three Empress Dowagers, and then hurriedly said: "Back to the Emperor's words, today Ye Qing was assassinated in Yongjin Tower for the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, it is said that the injury is very serious, but his life is not in serious trouble. Now the Imperial City Division, Lin'an Mansion, and Dali Temple are searching for assassins all over the city, and the trouble is known all over the city. ”
"Who did that?" Zhao Gou frowned, looked at Wang Lun and asked.
When the queen and queen mother heard Wang Lun's reply, they didn't feel it in their hearts, but the princess Xin on the side suddenly became solemn and nervous, and her hands began to grab her sleeves unconsciously.
"It's the daughter of Zhao Shixiong, the former governor of Yangzhou, because Zhao Shixiong's daughter fell from the window when she assassinated Ye Qing, and then died of anger." Wang Lun replied respectfully.
Zhao Gou looked at Wang Lun silently, with a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes, which made people unable to guess what he was thinking for a while.
Princess Xin wanted to speak, but looking at the queen and queen mother next to her, she didn't dare to ask Ye Qingren how she was doing at this time, and wanted to get up and say goodbye immediately, but looking at Zhao Gou's heavy face, the words that came to her mouth were swallowed into her stomach again.
"Since Ye Qing is still searching for other assassins, that is...... Anyone else involved? Zhao Gou's eyes flickered, and he asked lightly.
Wang Lun lowered his head and said: "Because there is not only a grudge between Zhao Shixiong and the Imperial City Division, Ye Qing is afraid that someone else will join forces with Zhao Shixiong's daughter to assassinate him, and ...... Ye Qing also asked the Emperor Taishang to be careful, why did this group of thieves assassinate him, whether it was to avenge Zhao Shixiong, or to commit murder under the guise of avenging Zhao Shixiong, it is not clear which is their real purpose for the time being, so Ye Qing asked the slave maid to play the Emperor, these days I still hope that the Emperor Taishang will be careful when traveling, if you want to go to the Lonely Mountain Garden, please be sure to bring more guards. ”
"This Ye Qing, he almost lost his life, but he can still think about the safety of the emperor in the first place, but he is a loyal courtier." The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Gou, who had a calm face, and interjected at the right time.
Zhao Gou glanced at the Queen Mother without speaking, nodded and said, "I know, I think Yan'er's side will know soon, and the palace will be guarded these days." As for the assassins who assassinated Ye Qing....... ”
Zhao Gou was a little difficult to decide for a while, whether to hand over this matter to Dali Temple for investigation, or to the Criminal Department, or Lin'an Mansion to investigate.
If Dali Temple came to investigate, because the victim of this matter was Ye Qing, it would be difficult for Lu Zujian to prevent Ye Qing from taking over the case and personally investigating the assassin, but in this way, it would be easy for Ye Qing to take advantage of the loophole.
Now that the court is attacking and impeaching Ye Qing for murdering Fan Niande, it is difficult to say that Ye Qing will not take the opportunity to secretly threaten those courtiers who attacked and impeached him when investigating his assassination case.
What's more, this kind of thing, Ye Qing has not done it, before he went to the Jin Kingdom, he once threatened and lured those examiners and examiners because of his participation in the imperial examination.
But if it is handed over to the Criminal Department, Peng Guinian is now holding the case of Ye Qing's murder of Fan Niande in his hands, so the two cases in hand seem to be a bit too man-made, I am afraid that it will be difficult to curb it at that time, and it may even make the murder of Fan Niande undone, so it will be worth the loss.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Goucai, who patted his thigh, said slowly: "This matter can be big or small, it is related to the safety of Lin'an City and the palace, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are not suitable to take over this case in my opinion, you might as well let Yan'er hand it over to Lin'an Mansion for investigation." But it must be remembered not to disturb the dignitaries of the Roman kingdom. ”
Wang Lun took the order and left, looking at the back of Wang Lun leaving, Princess Xin, who had long been unable to sit still, got up and said goodbye to Zhao Gou and the others as soon as possible.
Looking at the back of Princess Xin leaving, the Queen Mother and the Queen looked at each other, and their hearts were strange, Princess Xin was uneasy and left in a hurry, which was completely different from the appearance of staying late in the palace on weekdays.
And Zhao Gou smiled and said: "Maybe it's because Wang Lun just played about Ye Qing's assassination, I'm afraid that it won't be safe at night, just send a few more guards from the front of the palace to send her back." ”
The queen mother listened to Zhao Gou's explanation, and suddenly realized: "I really should send a few more guards, this girl is a coachman and a palace maid on weekdays, so it's time for her to be more careful on weekdays." ”
Zhong Qing, who hurriedly left with the palace maid, looked at the eunuch behind him with a group of guards coming over, and was stunned for a moment, but after the eunuch explained to her, Zhong Qing had a smile on her face, and did not refuse the kindness of Zhao Gou and the queen mother, but just used this to cover up the reason for her departure, and walked in the direction of Heningmen.
Along the way, Zhong Qing's mind was full of the scene when she met Ye Qing under the palace wall that night, the person's easy-going smile, interesting conversations, especially the comfort of putting his hands on her shoulders, and the way the two of them clasped their hands together in the carriage, kept churning in his mind.
And someone in Zhong Qing's mind once again let his two wives see what it means to go out vertically and come back upside down.
Since Mo Xiaobao suddenly brought a lot of people to guard near his home, Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng discovered that something was wrong, and when Ye Qing was sent back upside down again, the two girls instantly had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
The two women couldn't figure out why he was always injured every time, and every time the person who accompanied him out was able to come back unscathed.
Looking at Ye Qing in a coma, the two women sat on the edge of the bed and looked at each other silently, or stroked the somewhat pale face, watching the person breathe evenly, quietly and peacefully lying on the bed.
Teahouses, Goolan tile houses, wine shops, inns, green buildings, casinos and other places have become the focus of Xiao Zhen's search with the forbidden army.
But even after such a vigorous search until the second half of the night, the result was as he expected, and nothing was found.
dragged his tired body for a night, and finally wanted to see his New Year's friend, but when he walked to the door, he saw Bai Bingzhong, who had been looking at the door and had been an official in the same dynasty as him.
"Brother Bai, this is?" Xiao Zhen pointed to Ye Qing's door, and then looked at Bai Bingzhong, who was full of hesitation with a look on his face.
"Brother Xiao?" Bai Bingzhong was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that Xiao Zhen would come here at such a late hour: "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Zhen looked at the small lantern at the door, and then looked at the small stone lion like a poodle, and said with a smile: "I'm still not worried about Ling Xu's injury, so I came over to take a look, I didn't expect to meet Brother Xiao here." Brother Xiao also came to visit Ling Xu's injury? ”
Xiao Zhen stretched out his hand to knock on the door as he spoke, and Bai Bingzhong, who had hesitated for a long time, was too late to stop him, so he had to follow Xiao Zhen at the door, listening to the sound of hurried footsteps inside.
Bai Chun, who was guarding the bedside and had just finished feeding Ye Qing water, heard Jin Se say downstairs that the master came to visit Ye Qing, his eyes, which were still sad and sad, lit up in an instant, and he suddenly thought that maybe taking advantage of Ye Qing's injury was the best opportunity for his father to change his impression of Ye Qing.
Yan Qingcheng next to him looked at Bai Chun with a smile, nodded and said, "You go down, I'll take care of it here." ”
"Why don't I go down to meet my father-in-law?" Lord Ye, who had just woken up, said comfortably against the pillow behind him.
"You just woke up something, let Allure accompany you honestly here, don't go out and be embarrassed." Bai Chunbai glanced at Ye Qing and said angrily.
"I ...... Am I ashamed? You ...... what you say. Ye Qing wanted to refute, but Bai Chun had already tidied up his clothes and hair, and then left his back and walked outside.
Yan Qingcheng smiled and held Ye Qing's hand, looking at Ye Qing, whose face had improved and his spirit had recovered a little, he said with a smile: "I heard Sister Bai say that during the time when I didn't enter the door, you walked out of the house several times standing and then came back upside down, so don't blame Sister Bai for talking about you." What's more, if Sister Bai didn't feel sorry for you, she wouldn't say that, right? ”
"This time it's different from the previous ones." Ye Qing pursed his lips helplessly, wanting to reach out to hug Yan Chengcheng's slender waist, but he was noticed by others first, and then slapped his left hand off.
Yan Qingcheng shook his head silently and smiled, and then looked at Ye Qing with a complicated and distressed expression, sighed slightly, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.
What Ye Qing is doing in the imperial court, although she and Bai Chun have never turned a blind eye, it doesn't mean that the two of them don't notice it at all, not to mention what the Imperial City Division is and what it does, they are also like mirrors in their hearts.
It was only because they saw Ye Qing being relaxed every day on weekdays that they felt a little less worried and worried, or they were deceiving themselves.
But this time, with Ye Qing injured, the two women had already realized that Ye Qing's dispatch was much more difficult and dangerous than they imagined, but Ye Qing behaved so calmly and easily in front of them on weekdays in order not to worry them.
