Chapter 16 The Duke of Sui Crossing the Tribulation!
In the afternoon, there was a lot of discussion in the restaurants and tea shops in Chang'an City, and everyone was talking about a major event that happened this morning: Sui Guogong was struck by lightning in broad daylight on the way back to his home!
Unlike the abnormal situation that occurred in other places, the roar of this incident was heard throughout Chang'an City, and the black smoke rising could be seen for miles away.
According to sources, Sui Guogong was struck by lightning and the accompanying guards suffered heavy losses, seven or eight out of ten were killed on the spot, and most of the remaining ones died in time for treatment, six shops were damaged along the way, and the rest of the losses are still being counted.
According to another source, Sui Guogong's cultivation of foreign arts has reached the realm of "Mahayana", and it was the period of 'crossing the catastrophe'.
According to anecdotal sources, a few days ago, there was a sunset thunder on the outskirts of the city, and some people witnessed a big snake in the woods being scorched by the thunder of the sky
According to a certain subordinate of the Sui State Mansion, all kinds of poultry in the mansion have died for no reason in recent days, and the servants are riddled with miscellaneous diseases, and everything is not going well.
For a while, rumors were disturbed, some said that the Duke of Sui was soaring in the daytime, some said that he was killed on the spot, and some said that he was seriously injured and was lying in the house for treatment by a famous doctor.
But one thing is certain, this lightning strike has a lot to do with the Duke of Sui!
In a medical hall, many wounded people with broken heads and bleeding were lying on the ground sighing and being questioned by officials, some of them had wounds on their hands and feet, and some of them had blood on their heads, all of whom were victims of the disaster in the morning.
"You, your name, your address, what do you do?"
"The little Zhang Dingfa lives in Huai'anfang in the west of the city, and pulls cars for a living"
"Your father and mother have helped you get a good name, and you will send it to you!"
Unlike those stupid men and stupid women in the market, the officials did not have time to spread rumors everywhere but intensively investigated the attack on Sui Guogong, after all, there must still be a reliable statement, if the Son of Heaven asked, it can't be said that Sui Guogong's 'robbery' failed, right?
The scene was a mess, with heavy casualties, most of the accompanying guards of the Duke of Sui died, and there were sporadic accounts that it seemed that the convoy was assassinated, but if it was an assassination, then where did such a powerful weapon come from in the world?
Therefore, the officials asked the survivors at the scene one by one to see if they could ask for some clues, but after asking these injured people, no one could tell what happened at that time, and some kept saying that they saw the gods and Buddhas descending to earth, or the fairies in white dresses fluttering around.
Now there are still some who are seriously injured and bedridden, I don't know if they are frightened and faint or how they can't even remember who they are, let alone those who are unconscious and only have half a breath left.
Seeing that the officials were full of wounded people, they were also anxious, but the officials had to continue to ask one by one.
Just when the city was boiling, Yuwen Wen sat in the study of his mansion and looked at the servant Lin Youde in front of him, Yuwen Fifteen stood outside the room and looked around vigilantly to prevent anyone from approaching.
"Lord Lang, then, isn't that" Lin Youde cowered for a long time or mustered up the courage to speak, a few days ago Lord Lang asked him and Yuwen fifteen to go to the outskirts of the city to 'experiment' a thing, at that time he was frightened by its power and had a nightmare, and when he heard the roar with his own ears and saw the rising smoke with his own eyes, he would not think of his own Lord Lang.
According to the requirements of Lord Lang, he led Fu Youcai, Zhang Yiman, and Hu Sancai to mix charcoal powder, saltpeter, and sulfur together 'in proportion', and then carefully packed it into wooden barrels.
The first one was ordered outside the city before, and then the second one was made according to the requirements of Lord Lang, and now a fool can guess where this second one is used, Sui Guogong is such a big official, will Lord Lang kill himself who knows the secret?
Lang wants to kill and kill, but I don't know how many lives have been injured by the things he made with his own hands, will he be beaten down from eighteen layers of hell after death?
"It's exactly what my father did, what do you think?" Yuwen Wen replied categorically, since he sent Lin Youdi to participate in this matter, he knew that this kid couldn't accept it ideologically, and sure enough, as soon as he returned to the house in the morning, he saw Lin Youdi dodging and dodging with a worried look, and since he dared to let him participate, he didn't want to hide it.
Lin Youde didn't expect Lord Lang to be so straightforward, he didn't know how to answer for a while, but he couldn't stop muttering: "How come, how come"
"If the vicious dog is ready to pounce on you and Chen Ganniang, and you can't run away with Chen Ganniang, what will you do?"
"I, I, I fought with the vicious dog!"
After Lin Youdi finished speaking, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.
"My father wants to protect his family and protect the lives of the old and young in the house, do you know?"
Seeing that Lin You nodded, Yu Wenwen continued: "This matter is only sent by the Duke of You and Fifteen, do you know why?" ”
"The little one knows, the little one understands, it's the Lord Lang who trusts the little one."
"It's because you won't leak secrets, because you're worthy of my father's trust, and because my father is optimistic that you're no worse than fifteen."
"All the causes and effects of this matter are retribution to my father, and you don't need to think much about doing things well."
Seeing that Lin Youdi walked out with relief, Yu Wenwen pinched his eyebrows helplessly: The soul is light, it takes so much effort to add loyalty to the little brother, what should I do when I meet those capable people in the future?
It would be nice to travel with the system, loyalty is visible, and you can also increase loyalty with items
Lin Youdi is kind-hearted, loyal and honest, Yuwenwen still hopes to stabilize his mentality, after all, now is the time when there is a shortage of people, and he doesn't want to drop the chain at a critical time.
Hearing the knock on the door outside, Yuwen Wen cleaned up his mood and responded, only to see Yuwen fifteen flash in and asked in a low voice: "Lord Lang, that Lin Youdi can't stand things, do you want to?"
He used his hand to show a fierce light on his neck, and Yuwen Wen smiled slightly when he saw this: "Don't laugh at others, you were not panicked when you first went out with your father-in-law to fool around." ”
Seeing that Yuwen Fifteen touched his head embarrassedly and smiled, he immediately asked him to arrange for someone to go out to inquire about the progress of the Sui Guogong's 'robbery' incident.
"There won't be any baskets this time," Yu Wenwen looked at the paperweight on the case in a daze.
Ming Cui is bent on dying with the faint monarch Yu Wenyun, but before killing Yu Wenyun, he must first solve Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, otherwise Yu Wenyun will only cheapen Yang Jian after his death, and his situation has not improved at all.
With the previous rut of the clan minister Yuwen Hu, the emperor's anti-clan is like a thief, and the Great Zhou clan is now a group of fat sheep with empty status and no real power, and after Yuwenyun's violent death in history, Yang Jian, the duke of Sui State, ascended to the throne to take charge of the government, and killed the Yuwen clan in batches like slaughtering lambs.
So Sui Guogong, you should go with peace of mind!
However, "the development of history is not subject to human will", and after the dust settled, the exact news came: although the guards suffered heavy casualties, the Duke and his wife of Sui Guo, who were sitting in the car at that time, were not dead, and now they are being treated by the famous doctor Yao Shengyuan.
"What the hell is going on?" Yu Wenwen was stunned for a while when he got the news, and then sat down dejectedly, muttering to himself.
There is follow-up news again, it is said that when the thunder fell, the carriage had driven out a few meters, and the loyal guards were guarding outside the carriage, and the carriage was also very strong, so the couple was seriously injured and survived, but when the incident happened, Mrs. Dugu Jialuo got up to protect Sui Guogong, so the injury was more serious.
Make no mistake! **Hey, IED, that's fine! Isn't this world unscientific?
The last time he assassinated Emperor Tianyuan Yuwenyun was made yellow by his wife Yang Lihua, and this time he assassinated Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui State, was made yellow by his wife Dugu Jialuo. ……
Sui State Mansion.
Yang Lihua, the queen of Tianyuan, sat on the side of her father Yang Jian, the prince of Sui, with red eyes, Yang Jian, who had a blue nose and swollen face, did not lack arms and legs as rumored by the outside world, although his appearance was very embarrassing, but at least his spirit was good.
"In the future, the father will recuperate at home in the name of recuperation, and if there is an emergency in the palace, the daughter can find Pei Guogong to help"
Zheng Yi, the doctor of Peiguo Gong in the history of the country, is a confidant of Emperor Tianyuan and a close friend of Yang Jian.
Yang Lihua nodded silently, today after learning that her parents were assassinated, she almost fainted to the ground, and then hurried out of the palace to return to her parents' house to visit, fortunately, although her father was covered in bruises, she was not missing arms and legs, and her mother was seriously injured but stabilized her injuries, and she was not worried about her life, but she just needed a long time to recuperate.
They knew that this time it was not a "catastrophe" as rumored by the outside world, but a genuine assassination, although they didn't know what spell the assassin used, but it was indeed intended to assassinate Yang Jian.
Under Yang Jian's strict orders, the surviving guards did not disclose the true situation at the scene of the incident, and he would hide in the mansion under the pretext that he was ill.
Who is behind this assassination? Yang Jian couldn't figure it out, and Yang Lihua couldn't figure it out either.
The first one who wants Yang Jian to die is the emperor, starting from the powerful minister Yuwen Hu more than ten years ago, the first emperor Yu Wenyong and his son-in-law Tianyuan Emperor Yu Wenyun have all killed Yang Jian, Yuwen Hu and Yu Wenyong are because there are rumors that Yang Jian has the image of the Son of Heaven, and Yu Wenyun really feels the strength of his father-in-law.
However, all of this was resolved by Yang Jian without danger, and besides, if the emperor really wanted to do it, he would kill it directly, so there was another person behind this assassination.
The father and daughter thought for a long time and couldn't think of who would be the most suspicious, and after talking for a while, Yang Lihua drove back to the palace, and after his daughter left, Yang Jian muttered to himself: "Is it because you see that the emperor's life is not long?" ”
Emperor Tianyuan was seriously injured after being assassinated at the end of last month, and was rescued by the medical skills of the famous doctor Yao Seng Yuan's wonderful hand rejuvenation, and now it seems that everything is as usual and he can recover after more than a month of recuperation, but for a few insiders, this is not the case at all:
Your Majesty has already injured the foundation, I'm afraid it won't be better!
Once the emperor dies, the political situation will change dramatically, and at that time, a careless will be the end of the whole house, and there is no room for making a little mistake, but it is also a great opportunity, as long as you seize that opportunity, it is not a dream to reign in the world!
Thinking of this, Yang Jian's breathing involuntarily became short, if the wise and martial emperor was there, he would not have a trace of this thought, but now that this unscrupulous bastard son-in-law has tossed the court up and down, why should he be a loyal minister of the Great Zhou!
It must be someone who saw the situation after the emperor's death, and intended to preemptively kill him, the biggest competitor, so that he would retreat into advance, so that the other party would think that he was seriously injured and relax his vigilance, and it would also be convenient for him to secretly arrange.
"When you are in power, you must see your true face!" Yang Jian looked out the window and muttered to himself.
