Chapter Ninety-Six: The Slow Runner Is the Thief
"We want to assassinate the former governor of the Northern Zheng Army, a guerrilla general, and the founder of the country, Su Lu."
"He wants to investigate the spies of the Xuanfu, this is the bottom of the right wing to investigate the southern strategy, on the battlefield, how many Tule warriors died at his hands, the leader of Lamor said, who can kill Su Lu, Jin Wanfu, in charge of ten thousand troops."
The Thule Assassin spoke with righteousness, as if he were doing something great and righteous.
Changning's face was surprised, he looked at Su Lu, and even the sword in his hand fell.
Lord Su is even more important than a princess in the eyes of the Thule people, but thinking about how much trouble has been caused to the Thule people since Lord Su took charge of the army, it is normal for the Tulle people to attach importance to Lord Su.
Li Qing smiled and grabbed Su Lu's arm, "I didn't expect to be able to become a commander by killing you, this is much more powerful than the governor of the Dingxiang army you are going to serve." ”
Su Yun put away his hand, his cheeks were also full of pleasure, he tightened the cloak on his body, looked at the Thule assassin and said, "You have vision." ”
The Thule assassin was stunned, whatever the situation, I will blow a few words, and you will not kill me. “
The Assassins in the back were also confused, and that would work.
The surrounding female guards also looked at Su Lu with sparkling eyes, Master Su not only wrote poems well, but also wrote good words, and people were also very powerful in fighting.
He Wugang smiled and instructed his little eunuchs:
"Come on, escort these people to the cabin below, our family will interrogate them personally, I don't believe it, they don't have the idea of assassinating the princess at all."
A few little eunuchs took the Thule assassin and left, and Su Lu said: "Lao He, leave these people alive, and when the time is right, I will let Yousi see them." ”
He Wu smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Su, I am so measured." ”
The guards moved and threw the dead Tule into the river, and the blood on the ground was swept away.
With this assassination, Su Lu was no longer allowed to rest in a separate cabin, Li Qing and Su Yun were worried that Su Lu would like men again, so they simply arranged his cabin in the middle of the two-person cabin, and there were female guards guarding him when he entered and exited, so that he could not contact men.
Sixteen days later, the ship finally sailed into the Grand Canal, disembarked at the Tongzhou Wharf near the capital, changed to a horse-drawn carriage, and rushed to the capital.
The group braved the snow to advance, and when it was dark, they finally arrived in the capital, and entered the capital before the north gate was closed.
The princess's mansion is located in the north of the city, and Su Lu has just arrived, so he can only be wrapped by Li Qing to live in the princess's mansion.
The wheels ran over the bluestone pavement, making a gurgling sound, and there were few pedestrians on the road, and the small lights in front of the restaurants and shops on both sides of the street emitted a dim light, illuminating a small piece of darkness.
Su Ge sat across Su Road, looking out of the window of the car, his cheeks full of excitement: "I haven't been back for many years, the capital is still like this, the curfew has not yet started, and there are few pedestrians." ”
Su Yun asked curiously, "Did the curfew in the capital start late?" Isn't there supposed to be no one at night, but the roadside shops are generous and willing to hang lanterns to light the way. ”
Li Qing leaned lazily on the cushion, and his voice was also lazy: "How can these people be so kind, they just want to make their own business better, so they hang these lanterns." ”
"I'm not a thief, he's a thief."
"I'm not, he's so."
There was a loud shouting in front, and the carriage stopped, presumably blocked from the road.
Su Lu probed out, and saw several catchers gathered together, two men in coarse cloth short clothes were surrounded in the middle, and next to him was an old lady with a confused face, holding a burden in her hand, looking at the two men blankly.
Su Lu listened for a while, and finally understood what happened, the old lady was robbed of her burden when she walked at night, and a man ran up and caught the thief, but it was too dark, and the old lady was dazzled, and she couldn't recognize that it was a thief and that was a good person.
The female guard went over and shouted to get out of the way, and a few catchers heard that it was the convoy of the princess's mansion, so they didn't dare to slack off, and pulled the old lady and the man out of the way.
When the car passed by, a man suddenly jumped out, stopped in front of the car, and bowed repeatedly.
"The villain is relaxed, but if he does a good deed, he will cause a lawsuit, and he will be wronged, and he will ask the princess to make the villain's decision."
Another man also pounced, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The villain Sun Kewang originally wanted to help the old lady regain the burden, but he didn't expect to be slandered as a thief, begging the princess to be gracious and help the villain clear his grievances." ”
Both of them looked wronged and kowtowed again and again.
A few catchers rushed over to pull people and crashed into the princess's car, and there were a few heads that they didn't have enough to lose.
"Looking for death, the grievances will naturally be reclaimed by Lord Yin of the Mansion for you."
"Knowing what it is to sin to ram the princess's car, even if you are good people, you have to pull it and cut off your head."
The two men turned pale with fright and retreated one after another.
Li Qing pulled the curtain of the car and asked lazily: "Zhang Chi, go back, Sun Kewang is a thief." ”
Su Lu next to him looked confused, what do you mean, so you will be sentenced?
Zhang Chi looked surprised, and knelt down again Li Qing kowtowed, "The princess's eyes are like a torch, and the villain thanks the princess for her great kindness." ”
After thanking the princess, Zhang Chi got up and was about to leave.
Sun Kewang knelt down with a plop and burst into tears: "Princess Mingjian, the villain is not a thief, the villain's family is not poor, how can he covet the burden of an old woman." ”
One of the older catchers took a few steps forward and spoke:
"Lord Qiyu, this grandson is expected to be the son of the owner of the grocery store in the west of the city, although the family is not rich, but it is not the master who lacks money."
Li Qingyan's face was stunned when he heard this, how could this be? Zhang Chi felt no shame in his heart, so he came to ask himself to uphold justice, Sun Kewang was forced to come out later, obviously afraid of exposing himself as a thief, so he jumped out to plead, but listening to the arrest, Sun Kewang had no reason to steal.
Several catchers also opened their mouths to testify for Sun Kewang, and the old lady also said that Sun Kewang was not necessarily a thief.
Li Qing was stunned, and he couldn't get off the stage a little, and his verdict seemed to have become an unjust, false and wrongful case.
Sure enough, the verdict was not as simple as imagined, just now I felt that Sun Kewang was a thief, but when everyone said this, it seemed that he was not.
Sun Kewang knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky and grabbed the ground, looking like I had been greatly wronged.
Li Qing's face was embarrassed, what should I do? It would have been nice if I hadn't opened my mouth just now.
He Wu stood next to the car, scratching his ears and cheeks, I don't know how to do it, he wants to give the princess a way, but who is the thief?
Su Ge whispered: "Master Su, you are good at military affairs, you have good command, you must be able to read people, you can help the princess to see which of them is a thief." ”
Su Lu waved his hand, "You two come to compare, whoever runs slower is a thief." ”
Sun Kewang's face changed, and he struggled to say: "I have never heard of a thief judged by the speed of running, this adult's words are really nonsense, how can you judge people's grievances like this." ”
Su Lu looked at Sun Kewang with a smile on his face: "What's the matter, you can't run away with Zhang Chi?" ”
