Chapter 20: The Flesh Eater Braves

The assassination of the saint in the royal garden Qionglin Garden occurred, which pierced the sky.

It is estimated that the entire Taikang City will be turned upside down, and I don't know how many heads will have to land.

Cui Hanzhang saw the murderous and decisive of the assassins with his own eyes, and when he saw that there was no hope of breaking through, he killed himself one after another, simply and neatly, leaving no one alive for Jin Yuwei.

Emperor Jialong stood in front of the throne with a pale face, watching the Yulin army clean up the battlefield, his heart was not only frightened, but also angry, the emperor was angry, bleeding and drifting.

The assassins came and went faster, and the assassinations were mainly aimed at the saints, and the others were not in a big deal.

If you slaughter the ministers tonight, the consequences will be unimaginable, and I'm afraid it's hard to say whether you can gather the number of people in the court tomorrow.

After counting, two little eunuchs fell into the water in a panic and drowned half to death, and there were three new science and technology jinshi, who were accidentally injured by a sword and bleeding from their thighs, but fortunately, their lives were worry-free.

As for Jin Yuwei, he suffered heavy casualties, just now he was in close quarters, relying on hand-to-hand combat with his life, and at this time, he saw the commander Kun Baichuan, kneeling in front of the saint to ask for guilt.

The imperial doctor had already bandaged the wound on Emperor Jialong's left arm, and replied on his knees:

"The assassin is vicious, fortunately it only scratches the skin, but there is still a little residual poison seeping in, and it has been suppressed by Weichen with a golden needle, please take the medicine on time and pull out the toxin within ten days."

"Go and see Cui Aiqing's injuries and do your best to treat every wounded."

Cui Hanzhang's frisbee rescue just now can be described as a stroke of genius, especially the posture of his right arm being thrown out, which was deeply engraved into the hearts of everyone present.

Just now, everyone watched the leader of the assassins jump high and throw out the flying knife, at that moment many people's hearts were desperate, and a plate flew between the lightning and flint, blue and white alum red color seawater dragon pattern plate, crisp shattering sound, spilled to the ground, and knocked the deadly flying knife, otherwise Emperor Jialong would be in danger........

Especially Princess Yunlan, her heart was in her throat just now, and after reacting, she cried and pounced on her father......

In later generations, it was rumored that Tanhualang was brave and martial, and he shot righteously, in fact, where did people know that his arm had been dislocated because of the instantaneous force, and now he was unconscious and drooping, if he was not treated in time, he would have to take it back to his original position after it was swollen, and he would have to suffer a lot.

The imperial doctor bowed down and trotted down to check on Cui Hanzhang,

"Back to the saint, Cui Tanhua dislocated the joint of his right arm, and his muscles were severely strained, causing poor blood flow, and he needed to find someone to take him back to his original position in time, otherwise he would be disabled."

didn't dare to slack off, and then the others also returned,

Sanxin Kejinshi was cut by a sharp weapon, the wound was not deep, and the bleeding had been bandaged to stop the bleeding, and the two little fathers-in-law who fell into the water had also been rescued by someone pinching him.

The Holy Decree that Lin Siquan, the former general of the Yulin Military Palace, immediately blocked the five gates of the city, and all people entering and leaving were checked, and all efforts were made to search for the remnants of the escapees.

All the people attending the Qionglin banquet tonight carefully inspected and severely interrogated the people who maintained the little servants of Jin Mingchi, the courtesans and dancers, and the musicians and cooks.

Choosing to start at the Qionglin banquet is full of provocation, if the murderer cannot be arrested, I am afraid that the divine light will lose face......

Especially at the juncture where the "Northern Expedition Sacrifice Text" has just been released, the assassination of the saint is inevitably a delicate situation.

At the same time, the saint ordered to block the news, and Lingwu Hou Bai Juque led the military department, the inner court Jin Yuwei, and the city protector Yulin Army jointly investigated today's assassination.

The yamen of all ministries of the imperial court must cooperate with the investigation, and in case of resistance, the case will be solved within five days.

Emperor Jialong's anger could no longer be suppressed, and the long-planned feast could not be destroyed, not to mention that if it wasn't for Cui Aiqing's rescue, the assassin would have succeeded with one blow.

The frustration of not being able to control the situation made Emperor Jialong angry, it seems that some people think that I am weak and can be bullied, and the peaceful days have been too long, and some guys have forgotten that I can hunt tigers and bears as a young man.

glanced at Kun Baichuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and left a sentence: "Within five days, if you don't solve the case, come and see you", turned around and left......

The grand Qionglin banquet ended with a failed assassination, and everyone felt that they had gone around from the outside of the ghost gate and picked up a life.

Several old ministers looked at the back of the departing saint, and clearly felt that a storm was coming that was bigger than the fraud case in the imperial examination.

In Taikang City, some people want to break their muscles and bones, and the old guys know that this is not a good time to reshape the pattern.

Many people were frightened by this, and most of them woke up drunk.

Yulin Jun assisted Jin Yuwei in the inner court to check all kinds of people who went to the banquet again, and even the family and carriage parked outside were all checked one by one.

Kun Baichuan made a special trip to Cui Hanzhang to hug his fists, knelt down on one knee and thanked him: "If Cui Tanhua didn't help, Kun Baichuan would not be a pity to die." ”

"The Grand Commander can't help it."

As a master of Ouchi, it was naturally difficult for him to reset, taking advantage of the moment when Cui Hanzhang leaned over and reached out to help him up, he locked Hanzhang's right arm like lightning, and between pulling and pushing, he only heard a clatter, and the dislocated bone was reset, and he helped to turn it around twice, moving his qi and blood.

Cui Hanzhang can be regarded as having seen the master of Ouchi, and he is really superb, although he has practiced the style for many years, he was held by him without any reaction.

I can't help but warn myself in my heart that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky.

Kun Baichuan couldn't tolerate Cui Hanzhang's thanks, so he said:

"Later, I will ask my subordinates to send a piece of Jin Yuwei's bruise and injury cream on the door, tonight is not peaceful, and I will ask Cui Tanhua to go home and close the door."

After speaking, don't turn around and leave, and arrange for the Jin Yuwei to check the participants and others.

In previous years, the Qionglin banquet will inevitably end before the third watch, and I can't wait for the lord to come home tonight, and I can't send people in, there is no news, and the wives and concubines of each family are anxious at home like ants on a hot pot, fidgeting. They all sent their families to Qionglin Yuan to inquire, but they were all intercepted on Qingchuan Street, so they could only be in a hurry.

The identity check was tossed until midnight, and then the people were released one after another, but fortunately, Cui Hanzhang was accompanied by a special Jin Yuwei, found Cui Xuan, who was being interrogated, and quickly drove home.

Cui Hanzhang bowed goodbye to Jin Yuwei and pushed the door in.

Seeing that the lights were still on in the main hall, Mingwei was sitting in front of the hall waiting for him, and the maid next to her was supporting her head with her hands, dozing off for a while.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Mingwei hurriedly walked out and saw the scholar helping Cui Hanzhang into the door. Wake up the maid to fetch water and prepare to wash her uncle.

When he heard the scholar say that the young master was injured, he was even more frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to check where he was injured.

Cui Hanzhang stopped her, don't make a fuss. It's just that the arm is dislocated and strained, and the bone has been reduced, and now it is just a little swollen, and it will not be in the way if you apply some bone-setting ointment.

Mingwei didn't believe it: "I participated in the Qionglin banquet well, why did I dislocate and strain my arm, did I fight with someone?" ”

Cui Hanzhang instructed the scholar and Lao Cui to check around the courtyard, close the door, and be more careful tonight.

"There was no fight, but many assassins suddenly appeared at the Qionglin Banquet tonight, Jin Yuwei was killed and injured heavily, and three new science and technology scholars were also injured by mistake, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The dislocation and strain of my arm was caused by my own excessive force, and it was useless to be a scholar. ”

Mingwei couldn't care about the shyness of her daughter's family, and checked Hanzhang's whole body and saw that there were no wounds, so she was relieved. Just as I was about to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find bone-setting ointment, I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Cui Tanhua, the commander of Kun has ordered his subordinates to bring you medicine."

I saw the scholar Cui Xuan jump out of the darkness, and after opening the door, he took the bone-setting ointment from Jin Yuwei's hand. After he closed the door, more than a dozen Jin Yuwei quietly hid in the shadows around Cui Hanzhang's house.........

The scholar delivered the medicine to the backyard and left.

Mingwei and Hanzhang's sideburns are grinding, and there is nothing to avoid suspicion.

Cui Hanzhang took advantage of Mingwei's massage on his arm and slowly explained to her:

"At the time of the second watch of the banquet, the assassin burst into action, and in the light of light, he threw out the plate during the banquet, and knocked the assassin's flying knife to the saint, and Kun Baichuan, the commander of the Golden Feather Guard, thanked me for helping to relieve the siege, so he sent Dumen bruise ointment to treat the injury."

When it came to the thrilling place, Mingwei was worried for a while, scared and happy.

The joy is that the lover actually saved the driver at the Qionglin banquet, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention saving the current saint, and then Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

I'm afraid that if the assassin with strong martial arts vents his hatred for Cui Hanzhang, I'm afraid that the two will be separated forever. I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to have peace in the courtyard of Doumi Lane.

Thinking of this, tears flowed down my face.

Cui Hanzhang saw Mingwei crying and panicked. It was the most difficult to get rid of the beauty's affection, and hurriedly comforted her, "Isn't this a good return, don't cry."

I hurt myself by throwing the plate, I only blame myself for my low ability, and I have to work hard to practice the kiln handle in the future.

What Mr. Lou said makes sense, this style is very knowledgeable, otherwise he would not have reacted so quickly today and threw out the plate and hit the flying knife. ”

Hanzhang stretched out his hand to help her wipe away her tears, looking at Mingwei's crying pear blossoms with rain, she still felt pitiful under the lamp and candle, and couldn't help but kiss it.

At first, Mingwei was at a loss for what to do by his sneak attack, and after reacting, she also indulged in this sweet kiss, it turned out that it was such a wonderful feeling between lips and teeth, her mind was blank, she just wanted to chase this sweet feeling, and after a while, she was sour and weak, and snuggled in her lover's arms. Cui Hanzhang will expose his upper body, exuding a manly atmosphere, impacting the heart of Mingwei girl.

Cui Hanzhang looked at her misty eyes, her chin was slightly upturned, and she was picked, and the moonlight fell through the window, falling on Mingwei's white and flawless face, blooming like jade.

Stars in the night sky,

Around the moon,

Blink, wink.

Just like the hair of a woman at this time,

Blown up by the breeze in front of the face,

Flutter and flutter.

Cui Hanzhang was intoxicated with such a feeling, which was a feeling that he didn't dare to hope for a long time in his life.

He didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so he quickly collected his thoughts, thinking that the two of them would get along, how could they be in the morning and twilight......

whispered in her ear: "Sister Mingwei, it's time to go back to the house and go to bed." ”

Later, Mingwei's eyes were clear, and she immediately smiled shyly, scolding him for being injured and bad.

Mingwei helped him change his underwear, and then took the door back to the house by himself, thinking that he would have to go to Cui Shangshu's Mansion tomorrow before going to bed, and he would have to hire a few nurses.

The people of Taikang, who had slept late, noticed that the streets were full of Yulin troops, and the search for the assassins continued all night.

And the assassin is like a mud cow into the sea, without a trace, after all, Taikang City, with a population of one million, wants to search for an assassin villain, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and this person is good at disguise, which is really difficult.

Until the second half of the night, the Lingwu Marquis Mansion was still brilliantly lit, Liu Zhilun, the secretary of the military department, Kun Baichuan, the commander of Jin Yuwei, and Lin Siquan, the former general of the Yulin Military Palace, all gathered in the Hou Mansion, and the four of them held an emergency meeting to discuss the investigation of the case after receiving the order. Bai Yanqiu also stood behind Bai Hou Ye at this time, bowing his head and whispering from time to time.

The Yulin army reported that there was no result after a search, and this time the thief was well prepared, and immediately hid if he missed the blow.

After listening to Lin Siquan's news, Marquis Bai turned his head to look at Liu Zhilun, the secretary of the military department,

"Liu Shangshu, the weapons used by the assassins today are all sharp knives, with blades on three sides, which are very different from the weapons of our dynasty, do you know where they come from?"

Liu Shangshu pondered for a moment, "The three-edged sharp knife is relatively rare, the firearms battalion of the military department does not produce such sharp weapons, and the weapon workshop is also strictly controlled, and they are all registered and registered.

"General Lin, please dispatch a thousand Yulin troops to assist the military department in investigating the source of weapons, and never let go of any suspicious person." After Lin Siquan received the order, he left with Liu Shangshu.

"Commander Kun, the cadres of the Qionglin Banquet still have to be strictly interrogated, this assassination has obviously been planned for a long time, if there is no internal response, how can there be so many thieves hidden in Jin Mingchi? If this case is not investigated, I am afraid that Jin Yuwei of the inner court will ..... in the heart of the saint, "Marquis Bai's face is serious, and he wants to stop talking."

"This matter is Jin Yuwei's negligence, Kun is irrefutable, I just want to arrest the fugitive thief, find out the facts of the case, and Kun is willing to bear all the blame." Kun Baichuan's well-known man, one of the best masters in the Shenguang Dynasty, encountered a thief's assassination this time, and he was also aggrieved.

"The commander of Kunda doesn't have to blame himself too much, if you say negligence, which of our courtiers is not negligent, there is such a big assassination case in front of the emperor, what I am worried about is the anger of the saint, and it will affect the Northern Expedition." Marquis Bai obviously thinks farther than everyone else.....

The sun was rising as usual, and the market was bustling with activity, but people were already whispering about last night's big movements.

It was said that someone saw the Yulin Army searching everywhere, and Jin Yuwei also dispatched.

How can there be an impermeable wall in the world, until noon, the matter of the assassination of the Qionglin Banquet is basically known to everyone, the people of the whole city are in an uproar, almost for decades have not heard of the assassination in the inner courtyard of the palace, too long in the peaceful and prosperous era, committed a chaotic assassination, it sounds fresh......

Cui Hanzhang got up early in the morning and practiced the kiln burning style in the yard.

Jin Yuwei's unique bruise plaster is really magical, it has reduced swelling and pain in one night, and now he moves freely, and he has to thank Commander Kun for looking back.

Practicing the kiln style is already his daily homework, and the benefits are becoming more and more obvious, the scars caused by the soul breaking whip in Jin'an North Prison have completely disappeared, and now the newly grown nails are becoming more and more neat, but they are obviously not hard enough to press.

If a man suffers a sin, he will remember it, and even more so he will almost be killed.

Mingwei saw him practicing his fists and feet in the yard, and hurriedly stopped: "The injury I just suffered last night, I tossed it in the morning, I'm not afraid of straining my arm again." ”

Pulling Hanzhang to the front hall to eat, during which Cui Hanzhang asked Lao Cui, where to sell stone piers, stone locks and other equipment, he wanted to open up a martial arts arena in the open space on the left, firmly believing that it is reliable to train himself to be strong, and the scholar Cui Xuan also nodded in agreement, and both the master and servant were very eager for strong power. The carnivore is brave, Xiaoyue hangs the jade bow on the curtain, and Cui Hanzhang is deeply touched by the words in the book at this time.

Lao Cui's heart is clear, the eldest lady's heart is all on her uncle, and her uncle's words are naturally undoubted, and she hurriedly replied:

"There is a boxing gym at the entrance of the vegetable market in the west of the city, and the old slave will take someone to see it later."

"I'll go with you in a while, anyway, it's rare to have leisure today." Cui Hanzhang still wants to go and see for himself, buy some favorite things and come back to decorate them himself.

"Let's change our clothes later, let's go to Uncle Cui's mansion for a walk, you better let Lao Cui help Zhang Luo, it's really not okay to let the scholar go with him."

Mingwei reminded Cui Hanzhang that she had already arranged her itinerary today. After being reminded by her, I remembered that Cui Shangshu also gave him a good-looking eight-knife cicada, which should be moved.

"The Divine Decree Has Arrived"

The two were still discussing things, only listening to the big eunuch Ying Jiugong chanting loudly, and Cui Tanhua took the order.

Everyone hurriedly sorted out their clothes and went out to greet them, and Cui Hanzhang saw that it was the big eunuch who came to announce the decree in person, and he was solemn. Ying Jiugong was welcomed into the main hall and announced:

"Cui Hanzhang, the new science and technology scholar, has excellent learning, good character, Qionglin banquet rescue, I am relieved, I am given a hundred taels of gold, a number of good medicines to heal and nourish. Aiqing recuperates from her injuries with peace of mind, and I will be rewarded for another day. ”

After Ying Jiugong finished announcing his decree, he personally helped him up and explained: "The saint has a lot of love for Tanhualang, and he specially ordered the miscellaneous family to come to condole, how is his arm?" Imperial Physician Qin, take a look. ”

While speaking, I saw a group of fathers-in-law behind him holding the reward in their hands, and put them on the table of eight immortals in the hall, there were too many things in the back, and they couldn't be placed, Mingwei hurriedly asked the maid to take it over, all of them were ginseng and deer antlers, bird's nest snow lotus and other nourishing holy products, and they had to make up a big fat man if they ate it.

Father-in-law Ying took a sip of tea and said slowly:

"Cui Tanhua, in a few days, the saint will give another reward.

I see that the layout of the Xianggong's house is very quiet, and the small lake next to it is also more comfortable. ”

Cui Hanzhang said that the emperor was kind and loved, and hugged his fists and thanked him in the direction of the palace.

"The house here was purchased by the student's fiancée, and the environment was also arranged by her." As he spoke, he called Mingwei over and introduced.

"Sure enough, it's a girl with a blue heart, when will she get married? When the time comes, the miscellaneous family will also be able to please a cup of wine to drink. Ying Jiugong praised patiently.

"In the golden autumn of next year, I will return to my hometown and get married. When the time comes, Taikang will have a banquet, and please invite your father-in-law to enjoy a glass of water and wine. ”

Ying Jiugong said yes, got up and walked out as he spoke, "The saint is still waiting for our family to go back to his life, so he won't bother." ”

Over there, Mingwei had already arranged for Lao Cui to prepare a thank you gift and put it in the carriage of Father-in-law. The other little fathers-in-law are also two taels of silver per person for errand money, which is not a problem.

Ying Jiugong said that it was true to return to the palace to revert to the palace, but in fact, there was another person waiting for him in the palace, "It's a pity that Tanhualang has a fiancée, and the princess is afraid that she will be disappointed." Cui Hanzhang looked at the gifts on this table, and couldn't help but have a big head, how could he finish eating so much? However, there is no need for him to worry, Mingwei has already packed up and arranged all the maidservants, in the end, everyone is beautiful, and she treats people very decently.

The two of them went back to the house to change their outfits, and carried a jar of September frost and a few other gifts with the little girl, and just about to go out, they ran into Bai Yanqiu blocking his door.

"Cui Hanzhang, it's too polite, I'm tired of Tanhualang going out to pick me up, how embarrassing."

Bai Yanqiu has always been familiar with himself, and with a wave of his hand, he let the entourage behind him carry gifts into the door. Cui Hanzhang had no choice but to spread his hands, so he could only take Mingwei back to the hall to entertain the guests.

"Bai Gongzi, there was such a big commotion at the banquet last night, why don't you help Bai Hou Ye solve the case, what is going on in my house?" Cui Hanzhang came back to have a chat with Mingwei after last night's banquet, and finally inquired about Bai Yanqiu's identity. The eldest son of the first-class Lingwu Hou Mansion, his father died early, raised by his uncle, the only one with the handle, the heir of the Lingwu Hou Mansion, this person was born in the real Zhong Ming Ding Food Family, no wonder the original introduction, the ancestors have been Taikang people for generations.

"I said Cui Hanzhang, you are not kind, I want my dignified little marquis to visit you in person, I am afraid that you will be disabled and unable to marry a daughter-in-law, why can't you even drink hot tea? Besides, such a major event as solving a case, the opportunity for a first-class member to make meritorious contributions, where is the turn to get a little shrimp like me to point fingers. When Bai Yanqiu spoke, he always had an expression of indifference.

"This fairy sister shouldn't be a younger sister, right? Gaffes, gaffes. Bai Yanqiu looked at Mingwei and quipped.

Mingwei looked calm, her hands were flat to her left chest, her right leg was bent back, her knees were bent, and she bowed her head to make a blessing salute: "I've seen the little marquis." ”

arranged for the maid to serve tea, Cui Hanzhang almost touched Bai Yanqiu's temperament, thick on the outside and thin on the inside, it seems that he can't remember what he says, but in fact, he is quite tasteful.

Cui Hanzhang officially introduced Mingwei, "Cui Mingwei, the engaged fiancée, will get married in the autumn next year." ”

Bai Yanqiu was very good, and directly took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ming Wei, saying that it was the first time they met, and he was not prepared, and he hoped that his younger brothers and sisters would forgive him. I saw the front of the jade pendant soaring, the back is a golden sycamore, Ming Wei knew at a glance that it was the top carver in Suzhou, the quality was warm, it was a good treasure, and Bai Yanqiu must be extremely valuable to carry with him, how could Ming Wei receive it.

Cui Hanzhang was surprised to see him make such a generous move, and he raised his hand to give away precious things. Busy between the two, shirked,

"The little marquis is such a big gift, he is ashamed to take it, and he will not be punished for nothing."

"Brother Hanzhang, don't be polite, I'm afraid that if I don't give gifts today, I won't be able to give gifts later.

You are now famous in the literary world, and you are a flower doctor appointed by the saint, last night's Qionglin banquet rescued the driver, and the saint's reward has arrived, right?

I want me to make friends with you in advance, what's the fuss.

Those mundane things were prepared by my uncle to nourish your body.

This jade pendant is what I gave, I will give a gift, if you don't accept it, you really don't give face! ”

Bai Yanqiu's mouth was like a river, and Cui Hanzhang, who said it smartly, was stunned for a moment, and the gifts were really honest enough.....

After he said this, he got up and left without drinking the tea, and said as he walked:

"Tanhualang must be very busy, I won't bother, and I will hold a banquet for my brother and me in a few days to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you."

Walking to the head of the door, Bai Yanqiu turned his head with a serious expression:

"To put it bluntly, do we admire Brother Hanzhang's talent, or that sentence, the poem is really relieved."

The jade pendant soaring in the wind was lying quietly on the table.

Mingwei and Hanzhang looked at each other and smiled, both a little helpless..........
