Chapter 67: The Tea House is treacherous
Chu Huai'an was hit by an arrow, and the person on the roof exposed his position and did not rush to run, but instead took another arrow, and the target was obviously Su Li.
The alley was narrow, Chu Huai'an was injured, Su Li couldn't avoid it so as not to hurt him again, and made up his mind to run outside the alley.
Bang! Boom!
Three arrows were fired in a row, each arrow was closer to Su Li, and the third arrow almost brushed the bridge of Su Li's nose, and the hurricane carried by the tail of the arrow was like an extremely thin blade cutting through an inch of skin on the bridge of the nose.
Su Li quickly searched for anything around that could be used to block the arrow, but before she could find it, the fourth arrow broke through the air, aiming at the place where Su Li landed next.
Su Li had already anticipated the danger, but her body soared in the air, unable to twist.
This arrow can't be dodged!
Su Li made a judgment in his heart, raised his hand to protect his head, and wanted to reduce the possibility of his injury as much as possible, and his waist suddenly became heavy, and at the same time, there was a crisp sound of 'Zheng' in his ears, like the sound of arrow tips and iron weapons clashing.
The body was slammed to the ground, and it rolled several times and hit the wall on the corner before stopping.
Having just experienced the test of life and death, Su Li's heart was beating fast, her brain was buzzing, and the man's angry rebuke had exploded in her ears: "What are you running!" Don't know you're being targeted? Can you outrun other people's arrows with this leg? ”
Chu Huai'an said, looking Su Li up and down on her shoulder, just looking at her and wanting to touch it if he didn't see enough, pulling the wound on his right arm, and gasping in pain.
The arrow hit him, but the situation was critical, and when he saw Su Li running out, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow himself and chased after him, and now a huge blood hole in his arm was happily gushing blood.
"Don't move!"
Su Li finally came back to her senses and ordered, tore off the hem of her skirt, and skillfully wrapped it around his arm to help him stop the bleeding.
As soon as the knot was tied, Zhao Hanzhuo rode a high-headed horse with the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple.
"How?"
He sat on the horse and asked, Zhao Shi had already finished checking the place where the person was just staying on the roof of the teahouse, and jumped down from the roof.
"People ran away, they moved too quickly, and they couldn't catch up if they were too late!" Zhao Shi replied, and handed the arrows just now to Zhao Hanzhuo: "There is no mark on the arrows, and I can't tell if there is any poison for the time being, and the workmanship of the arrows is not very good, and ordinary blacksmith shops can do it." ”
Zhao Hanzhuo turned over and dismounted, took the bloody arrow from Zhao Shi's hand and looked at it for a while.
"Sun Wu, take someone to the blacksmith shop in the city to investigate, and if you encounter a suspicious person, bring it back to Dali Temple immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Hanzhuo gave an order, and the man named Sun Wu immediately took a team of people to the city to investigate, and Zhao Hanzhuo looked at Zhao Shi again: "You take two people with better skills, go out of the city and see if you can find clues." ”
Although Zhao Shi is still young, his temperament is as cold as Zhao Hanzhuo, and he only obeys Zhao Hanzhuo's words when he hears Zhao Hanzhuo's words: "I'm leaving, what should you do?" ”
The young man's voice was hard, but his tone was full of worry, and there was a trace of imperceptible grievances, Chu Huai'an was in great pain, and seeing that Zhao Hanzhuo hadn't arranged for him for a long time, he couldn't help but tease: "If you leave, he will handle the case as usual, otherwise what else can I do?" ”
“……”
Zhao Shi glared at Chu Huai'an coldly for a while, and then chose two people to leave.
When he left, Zhao Hanzhuo stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to personally help Chu Huai'an up, Chu Huai'an's face turned white in pain, but he still had the strength to slap Zhao Hanzhuo away, and he relied on Su Li like a scoundrel.
"What are you doing, your master is like this, and you don't want to help your grandfather up?"
Chu Huai'an stabbed Su Li's waist and eyes as he spoke, and he couldn't see that he had a fight with Su Li just now.
Su Li sighed silently and helped the person up, I don't know if he did it on purpose, he pressed most of the weight on Su Li's shoulder, and bent Su Li's waist raw, at first glance, it seemed that Su Li was nested in his arms, and the two bodies did not fit anywhere.
Chu Huai'an was satisfied, Zhao Hanzhuo didn't feel embarrassed when his hand was slapped away, and looked at Chu Huai'an calmly with his eyes and asked, "Is Master Hou seriously injured?" ”
Although the wound was wrapped in a strip of cloth by Su Li, the bleeding had not stopped, and the strip of cloth was soaked in blood in a moment, although it was not a fatal injury, it was also a serious injury to Chu Huai'an's identity.
Chu Huai'an rolled his eyes and turned his head to Nunu's mouth: "Oh, the blood is still flowing so happily, does Lord Zhao think it's heavy?" ”
"Hou Ye has shed so much blood, his body should be very weak, you might as well go to the teahouse to sit first, and the next official will ask a doctor to come and treat Hou Ye."
Su Li: "......"
Lord Zhao, don't you think this excuse is far-fetched?
Su Li was speechless, but Chu Huai'an immediately understood what Zhao Hanzhuo meant, and immediately unloaded his strength, leaned on Su Li's body softly, and coughed lightly in his mouth, and he could raise his voice and shout: "Ahem, Ben Hou is too injured ...... It's too heavy, Lord Zhao shouldn't hurry up and help Ben Hou find a private room for Ben Hou to rest and heal! ”
"Yes, Master Hou!" Zhao Hanzhuo and Chu Huai'an sang and harmonized.
The commotion just now was so big that the storyteller in the teahouse had already stopped, and everyone was lying by the window and watching the play, which was much more exciting than what the storyteller said.
However, everyone didn't expect that Xiaoyaohou's arm was gurgling and spurting blood, and he didn't go to the medical hall but went to the teahouse.
Zhao Hanzhuo has a cold and hard nature, whether he is handling cases or treating people and picking up customers, and his face is cold when he walks into the teahouse at this moment.
"But there are still private rooms?"
He asked in a deep voice, feeling more polite about himself, but in the eyes of others, he was cold and stern, revealing a terrifying murderous aura.
The guy in the teahouse was startled, and hesitantly reached out to take the money, but was slapped by the shopkeeper who came in a hurry: "If you want to die, you dare to accept Lord Zhao's money, didn't you see that Hou Ye was injured?" Why don't you take Hou Ye to Tianzi Ya to rest! ”
The guy was beaten to a great point, and hurriedly shouted for someone to go out to help Chu Huai'an, but Chu Huai'an was like growing on Su Li's body, and he didn't let others interfere at all.
In the end, the shopkeeper has more vision than the guy, and he is quite sleek, turning his head and letting people prepare hot water to invite the doctor, and seeing a group of people downstairs watching the excitement, he frowned: "Don't look at it, close in advance today, don't want the tea money, everyone go home!" ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, a few guys in the lobby were about to get rid of people, but they were stopped by Zhao Hanzhuo: "The official does not disturb the people, this is proposed by His Majesty after the pro-government, you should do whatever you want, when the official and the Hou Ye are not here." ”
Everyone: "......"
If you don't want to disturb the people, don't come in, how can you not exist?
Everyone was quite speechless, but Chu Huai'an was still restless halfway upstairs, turned his head and grinned downstairs: "Lord Zhao is reasonable, it just so happens that the master is in a lot of pain at this moment, you might as well ask this storyteller to tell the master a few more beautiful jokes to help him divert his attention." ”
Chu Huai'an said that he was going to turn back and go downstairs, and the storyteller ran over from the crowd in a panic: "Master Hou is careful of your body!" What does the Hou Ye want to hear, the villain goes to the Hou Ye and says yes! ”
Mr. Storyteller is an old man, too thin, his temples and hair are half white, his face is full of wrinkles, and only a pair of eyes are very bright, as if he has seen the thoroughness of life after an epiphany.
The old man talks in this building all day long, and he still wears coarse linen clothes, and today this dress, the collar and cuffs are washed and stripped off, which shows how frugal he is on weekdays.
"It's okay, it's just you!"
Chu Huai'an thought for a while and reluctantly agreed, and finally lay on Su Li's shoulder and went upstairs, Zhao Hanzhuo gave his people a look, and these people immediately divided into two ways, blocking the front door and backyard of the teahouse.
"Lord Zhao, this ...... What does this mean? Since the establishment of our teahouse, there has never been such a situation! The shopkeeper asked nervously, and his chubby hand kept pinching the corners of his clothes, showing two points of uneasiness.
People in Kyoto know that all the profits of this teahouse are handed over to the treasury, and the first emperor had issued a holy decree when the government handled the case, no matter how big the case was, it was not allowed to bring troops into this building, and the violators were executed!
This holy decree is not only a commendation for An Wuwu's patriotic deeds, but also a recognition of the merits of the ancestors of the An family and compensation for the descendants of the An family.
After all, the An family originally followed His Majesty's southern expedition to the north to conquer this country, which will cause the An family's heirs to wither now.
The first emperor was so kind to the An family, and it is understandable.
With such a prerequisite, now that Zhao Hanzhuo has led his troops to block the door of the teahouse, he must come up with an explanation.
"Hou Ye was seriously injured, and the official was worried that the gangsters would kill him, but this move was just to protect Hou Ye's safety, and there was no other meaning, so the shopkeeper didn't need to worry too much."
Zhao Hanzhuo's tone of voice was naturally explained, the reason was very sufficient, there were not many people left behind, and he did not enter the door of this teahouse, so he did not violate the will of the emperor.
The shopkeeper's frown, and his big face was as wrinkled as a soup dumpling.
"But these guests ......"
"Just let it be."
Zhao Hanzhuo rushed to answer, he said so cheerfully, the shopkeeper hesitated, after a while, he gave a look to the guy, the guy picked up people again, and the guest was afraid of Zhao Hanzhuo, and walked outside.
Seeing that Zhao Hanzhuo didn't open his mouth to stop people, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his breath, the guest was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the door. "Name!"
"Thursday River."
"Where do you live?"
"Four and two alleys of Zhoujia Lane, Qingshi Street, west of the city."
"What?"
"Sell...... Selling calligraphy and paintings. The guest surnamed Zhou was a timid man, he had never been interrogated like this by officers and soldiers, his legs were trembling, and his voice was floating: "Official...... Official, I'm here to listen to the commentary, this ...... What is this for? ”
The officer and soldier who asked was a veteran, and he was recording the book he was carrying with him, and when he heard this, he patted the guest on the shoulder, and smiled kindly: "I didn't say that you made a mistake, aren't the brothers standing at the door bored, chat with you casually, don't be so nervous, relax!" ”
Innocent guest claiming to be Thursday River: "......"
Nervous shopkeeper: "......"
Melon-eating masses: "......"
The lobby of the teahouse was silent for a moment, and the shopkeeper said stubbornly: "Lord Zhao, what are you...... Not suitable, right? ”
"Oh? How is it not suitable? ”
Zhao Hanzhuo asked rhetorically, his tone was still lukewarm, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's mons, and his face hurt when he saw it, as if he had been scraped by a knife.
The shopkeeper couldn't stand being looked at by him like this, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he had to lose: "No...... It's okay, Lord Zhao can do whatever he wants, and the safety of Lord Hou is the most important! ”
The shopkeepers gave up their resistance, and the guests present could only obediently line up to go out for questioning.
This Zhao Hanzhuo found an excuse downstairs to interrogate, Chu Huai'an and Su Li were not idle, after entering the house and closing the door, Chu Huai'an stood up by himself, although he couldn't talk about being alive, but his actions were completely unaffected.
The layout of this private room is similar to the one Su Li came to the teahouse last time, but at the corner, when I opened the window, I saw not the street outside the back door, but the backyard.
The scale of the teahouse is large, and the backyard is relatively wide, because of the lobby, the guys have gathered in the front, and the backyard is relatively empty.
Su Li looked at it for a while, remembering the terrain of the backyard, and was about to jump down to check it while holding on to the window, when her arm was grabbed by Chu Huai'an: "What to do?" ”
"Let's go down and have a look."
"Together!"
“……”
Su Li didn't speak, her eyes fell on the injured place of Chu Huai'an's arm, what she was thinking was self-evident.
Feeling that he was being despised by himself, Chu Huaian couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Even if your two arms are useless, you won't be held back!" ”
"Okay."
Time is pressing, Su Li didn't say anything to Chu Huai'an, it would be good if he could follow and take care of him.
The two were about to jump out of the window as they spoke, when the storyteller, who had been shrinking in the corner, came out: "You...... What are you going to do? Young Master An is a good person, you can ...... You can't do bad things here! ”
"How do you know he's a good guy and we're just going to do bad things?" Chu Huaian asked rhetorically, and the storyteller opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say the sentence 'You don't look like a good person'.
But he didn't say it, but his eyes had already betrayed him, Chu Huai'an was questioned one after another, and he was in a very bad mood, the tip of his tongue swept around his mouth, and he found a strip of cloth to tie up the storyteller.
"Master Hou, what are you doing tying up the old man?"
The storyteller asked with a glare, Chu Huai'an tied a slipknot on the back of his neck, and patted him on the forehead without any concept of elder: "Stay honest and tell the master, if you dare to stop secretly, when the master comes back, I will cure you of the crime of murdering the royal family!" After speaking, he walked to the window and climbed out of the window with Su Li.
The two landed steadily and quickly searched in the backyard.
Su Li's reconnaissance skills were all learned from Lu Ji, she watched and listened to all directions, and her sense of smell was sharper than that of ordinary people, Chu Huai'an knew that she was capable, and she didn't rob her after she came down, silently followed her and helped her pay attention to the situation behind.
The backyard of the teahouse is also divided into two floors, with a private room on the top and a room for the resident guys below, a kitchen, a firewood room and a storeroom.
Ordinary homes or shops generally separate the firewood room, or the walls of the firewood room are made of mud bricks, so as to avoid the firewood room from burning the other houses together.
But this teahouse is the opposite, the storehouse and firewood room are connected.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Su Li took Chu Huai'an and flashed into the firewood room.
The strangeness was even worse when I entered the firewood room, because the firewood room was not only full of chopped firewood, but also had a choking smell.
"What does it smell like?"
Chu Huai'an asked, Su Li casually pulled a piece of firewood from the pyre and looked inside: "It's tung oil." ”
Tung oil is not like kerosene, and generally does not have a strong taste, so the more wealthy people, the owner uses tung oil lamps at night, such as the palace and the Xiaoyao Mansion.
Nowadays, as soon as you enter the firewood room, you can smell the smell of tung oil, which shows that there is a lot of tung oil hoarded in this house to be easily smelled.
In a tea house, it is normal to hoard tea and grain, what are you doing hoarding so much tung oil?
Su Li frowned and thought about it, there was nothing hidden in the firewood, it was all firewood, the firewood room was not big, she and Chu Huai'an quickly searched the whole room, but they didn't find anything that could hold tung oil.
When looking for something, Su Li also paid attention to stepping on the ground, the ground was solid, and there were no dark passages.
"Let's take a look."
Chu Huai'an proposed, Su Li nodded, and the two were about to go out, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Chu Huai'an immediately grabbed Su Li's waist and retreated, and the two hid in the gap between the pyre and the corner of the wall.
The space between the cracks was very small, the two were facing each other closely, their breath wrapped in each other's breath, Su Li tilted his head, and wanted to move, Chu Huai'an snorted, he used his left hand to support the wall to leave a little space for Su Li, and the wound on his left hand happened to be poked by a piece of firewood, and Su Li immediately stopped moving.
The door of the firewood room was pushed open, and two boys who looked like teenagers walked in with baskets on their backs.
"What's going on today, I saw that there were officers and soldiers at the front and back doors, didn't it mean that our officers and soldiers here can't come in?"
"Who knows, that person surnamed Zhao is the best at playing scoundrels! But with the master, no matter how scoundrel he is, he can't do anything about us! The young man was very respectful of An Wuwu between his words, and poor Lord Zhao was straightforward and became a scoundrel when he got into their mouths.
The young men looked at each other and smiled, and filled the basket with firewood, and one of them suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Do you say that the master can succeed?" ”
"Of course you can, this is what they owe to their master!"
"Uh-huh!"
The two of them fought each other's blood, and after speaking, their eyes became bright, and their faces were even more determined and resolute, as if they were going to follow the master in their mouths to do something earth-shattering.
After loading the firewood and the two left, Su Li pondered what they had just said and prepared to go out, but Chu Huaian still imprisoned her between his chest and the wall.
"Master Hou?"
Su Li asked suspiciously, and Chu Huaian lowered his head and touched her forehead: "I'm sorry!" ”
He said, some eagerly, some heavy.
Su Li's brain was still a little dazed, her forehead was slightly cold, and she was touched by the man's moist lips very shallowly: "I came back to say I'm sorry." ”
If he hadn't regretted it halfway and wanted to find her to say this, maybe she was the one who was injured by the arrow at this time.
His sentence of sorry was endless, and Su Li didn't know which thing or sentence he was referring to.
"Master Hou, I accept this sentence, let's talk about the rest later."
Su Li quickly pulled himself out of these emotions, and walked out of the corner with a slight shortening, Chu Huaian also knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, but the atmosphere and environment were just right just now, so he was glad that he was not a step late, and he still had the opportunity to say this, so he hurried to say it.
The warehouse was next door to the firewood room, and Su Li and Chu Huaian came out of the firewood room and touched the warehouse.
Spring is about to start in these two days, and the sun is warmer than winter, but the house is still cold, but as soon as you enter this warehouse, a hot air will come to your face.
Su Li quickly glanced around, there was no charcoal burning in the house, she stomped on the floor tiles, and it was empty, it was actually a burning hearth!
Ordinary people can't afford charcoal, so they dig a tunnel from the kitchen to the bedroom bed, and draw the heat generated by the firewood during cooking to the bedroom to keep warm.
The palace also has a hearth in the palace of the emperor and the queen, but the hearth is not dug from the imperial dining room, but the palace people use charcoal fire to burn in the ground, and the whole winter, the emperor and queen are as warm as spring.
It is understandable if this teahouse dug a hearth for the guests to heat the lobby, and it is understandable to heat the room where the guy lives, but it is quite strange to heat it in the storeroom.
What is in the storeroom that needs to be so warm to preserve?
Su Li and Chu Huai'an glanced at each other and rummaged in the warehouse.
There are a lot of things in the warehouse, but they are neatly arranged, except for the tea produced in various places, which are very ordinary ingredients, and there are a bunch of discarded and useless wooden boards piled up in the corner.
After turning around and still finding nothing, Su Li was a little unwilling, squatted down and wanted to pry open the floor tiles to see where the hearth led, and suddenly there was a sound of tiles breaking on the roof, and at the same time, a sharp birdsong resounded in the air.
This birdsong is very similar to a birdsong, but it is not a bird that should appear in Kyoto this season, and it is clear that the person on the roof is using a whistle to imitate the sound of a bird.
There was no window in the warehouse, Su Li and Chu Huai'an immediately rushed out of the room, Su Li had learned Chu Huai'an's light skills, and at this time his hand was injured, Su Li took the initiative to wrap around his waist very naturally.
“……”
Chu Huai'an froze for a moment, and when Su Li looked up in confusion, he held her head down, and took her to the roof.
The man on the roof moved very quickly, and Su Li only had time to see him jumping from the roof a few streets away, only a corner of his clothes flew away.
This distance is definitely not able to catch up.
Su Li gave up tracking and wanted to go downstairs to continue investigating, Chu Huaian pulled her to squat, and a cold snort overflowed from her mouth: "It's really timely!" ”
Three streets away, Jing Zhaoyin hurried over with a team of officers and soldiers.
At the same time, the doctor of the medicine hall at the door of the teahouse rushed over with the medicine box on his back, and almost collided with the doctor Gao Tai invited by the teahouse.
"Hou ...... What about Hou Ye? Doctor Gao gasped and asked, a heart eager to come out of his throat.
"Please come with this officer." After Zhao Hanzhuo finished speaking, he personally led the way, and the shopkeeper wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhao Hanzhuo with a look: "The tired shopkeeper went to the backyard to see if the hot water was ready." ”
"Yes...... Be! ”
The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and ran towards the backyard, Zhao Hanzhuo took Imperial Doctor Gao and the doctor upstairs, walked outside the private room, and heard the storyteller impassionedly tell the story of a brave man who drank a few bowls of wine and went up the mountain to fight tigers.
Zhao Hanzhuo symbolically knocked on the door twice, raised his feet and walked in, only to see the storyteller being tied up and thrown on the ground.
The four eyes met, and the storytelling stopped abruptly.
Mr. Storyteller's eyes lit up like seeing the compassionate Buddha of all living beings, and he was about to call for help when he opened his mouth, Zhao Hanzhuo's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to cover Mr. Storyteller's mouth very quickly.
Doctor Gao was fat, he was so tired after running all the way, his brain slowed down, the doctor in the medical hall reacted more slowly than him, opened his mouth, failed to make a sound, and was raised by Doctor Gao's hand and his face was confused, and he fell softly, Doctor Gao took it with great effort, closed the door and dragged the person into the house.
"If you don't want to die, keep talking!"
Zhao Hanzhuo ordered, Mr. Storyteller gasped, nodded again and again, to make sure he was not lying, Zhao Hanzhuo slowly let go.
The storyteller took two deep breaths, and then described it vividly in the same tone as just now: "Let's go on to talk about the hero who fought the tiger, the so-called hero doesn't ask where he came from, but this hero is very different......
The old man was honest, and Imperial Physician Gao breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax, so he leaned over to Zhao Hanzhuo and asked, "Where is Master Hou?" Didn't you say that he was seriously injured? Can you still run? ”
Zhao Hanzhuo ignored him, got up to look around the house, saw blood stains on the ground and the edge of the window, pushed open the window and looked outside, and happened to collide with Chu Huai'an, who was hanging upside down from the eaves.
Zhao Hanzhuo: "......"
Chu Huai'an: "......"
The two stared at each other for a moment, Zhao Hanzhuo first raised his hand and grabbed Chu Huai'an's shoulder, pulled it, and brought the person into the house, and after a while, Su Li grabbed the eaves and jumped into the house.
"What did you find?"
Zhao Hanzhuo asked, there was a knock on the door, and Chu Huaian raised his hand to remove the strip of cloth that bound Mr. Storyteller's body.
The inertia was too strong, and the storyteller stumbled towards the door, and the people at the door didn't wait for Zhao Hanzhuo to say that they would enter, and pushed the door in with a basin of hot water.
"Hey...... Ay! ”
Mr. Storyteller exclaimed in surprise, it was too late to get the man out of the way, and when the two were about to collide, the guy's waist twisted in a strange position, and his body spun to avoid it.
The storyteller fell to the ground rather miserably, but the water in the man's basin was not spilled at all.
Su Li and Chu Huai'an glanced at each other, and they both saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes, this guy is a practitioner.
The guy was also defenseless, and subconsciously made a move, and after doing it, his face stiffened for a moment, but then he exaggerated a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, fortunately the water didn't spill." ”
As he spoke, he put the water on the table, and Imperial Physician Gao had already dismantled the strip of cloth and cut Chu Huai'an's sleeve, revealing his bloody arm, because he had just gone out with Su Li, and the hole in his arm was even bigger.
"Who drew the arrow for you? How do you make a wound like this? ”
Doctor Gao asked angrily, this wound is caused by brute force pulling out the arrow, let him do it, it won't be like this at all.
"Where is so much nonsense, pull it out, why do you want to plug it in and pull it out again?"
Chu Huai'an said angrily that the arrow was pulled out by himself, he didn't think about it so much at the time, so he wanted to knock that little thing down and hold it in his arms, don't die in front of him if someone pierces his heart with an arrow.
Imperial Physician Gao tried his best to widen his eyes to make Chu Huai'an feel his anger as a doctor, and helped Chu Huai'an clean the wound with great dexterity, sprinkled hemostatic powder, and then applied ointment when the bleeding stopped.
"The wound should not be wet in the short term, and do not move violently to open the wound, although it does not hurt the important muscles and veins, it is still necessary to pay attention to it, and it is better to avoid it, and the food is better to be light, otherwise the wound is easy to become inflamed and infected, and then it will be troublesome......"
Imperial Physician Gao said the doctor's instructions seriously, Chu Huai'an listened casually, and when Imperial Physician Gao finished speaking, he looked up at Su Li: "Have you remembered everything?" ”
Su Li: "......"
Su Li was still thinking about the strangeness she had just found in the warehouse, and she was coldly named, her eyes flashed dazed, and then she nodded calmly.
She didn't remember what Imperial Physician Gao said, but it was not once or twice to deal with this kind of injury, she was sure, but her technique was relatively rough, not as delicate as Imperial Physician Gao.
"Tut-tut......"
Imperial Doctor Gao shook his head, quite dissatisfied with Su Li's perfunctory, Chu Huai'an raised his foot and kicked him aside: "Dead fatty, give me another try!" ”
Chu Huai'an had a good relationship with him, and he didn't really make a hard kick, Imperial Physician Gao hid to the side, and wanted to say something more, the door was pushed open, Jing Zhaoyin didn't know if he was pushed or in a hurry, and he rushed in with a roll, and coincidentally gave Imperial Physician Gao a big gift.
"Eh!! Everyone is a colleague, and the subordinate can't afford to be such a big gift from Lord Zhang! ”
Imperial Physician Gao said and helped Jing Zhaoyin up, but his already small eyes were gone, and he didn't look unbearable at all.
Jing Zhaoyin burned his eyebrows, and he didn't care about following the dead fat man at this time, pushed away Imperial Doctor Gao and knelt straight in front of Chu Huai'an: "The lower official is derelict in his duties!" The lower official is guilty, and he actually let Hou Ye be seriously injured in an attack, please forgive Hou Ye! ”
Jing Zhaoyin's position is not very high-level, but what is maintained is the daily security of Kyoto, such as the concubine returning to her mother's house to save her relatives, and the emperor going out of the palace to the imperial mausoleum to worship such major events, even if Jing Zhaoyin is not the main person in charge, it is also to assist the person in charge, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.
The sleeves were cut, Chu Huai'an simply pulled it, just exposed half of his arm wrapped in gauze, and half raised his eyes to look at Jing Zhaoyin and asked, "Oh? Lord Zhang knew that he was derelict so quickly? But let's hear it, where are you derelict in your duties? ”
Jing Zhaoyin's forehead was full of cold sweat, and he thought for a while: "The minister's dereliction of duty has not eliminated hidden dangers, and asked the gangsters to hide in the capital, and they are ...... also waited for the opportunity to hurt the marquis, the minister...... The minister has ordered the city gates to be blocked, to search for the culprits in the city, and to arrest the culprits as soon as they are found......"
"I can't hold it!" Chu Huai'an lazily interrupted Jing Zhaoyin, and in his incomprehensible gaze, he slammed Zhao Han's mouth at Nunu: "See, even he is a step too late and didn't catch up, just your old arms and legs, can people still sit in the city and drink tea and wait for you to catch up?" ”
“……”
Jing Zhaoyin was so stunned that his old face was speechless.
Chu Huai'an has never been a person who cares about the face of others, and continued to sprinkle salt on Jing Zhaoyin's old face: "How many hours have you been engaged in until now, do your people have raised fat during the Chinese New Year or have drunk too much rice wine?" ”
"What Master Hou said is that his subordinates are not in good control!"
Jing Zhaoyin admitted his mistake with a shy old face, in fact, his subordinates found out quite early, but today he was tripped by the Wei family at home, and he couldn't get out for a while, and when he handed the letter to the house, he knew that something so big had happened, and he hurried over immediately.
Chu Huai'an shook the people again, and when he saw that the attitude of the people was okay, he reminded him 'kindly': "In addition to Ben Hou's injury, do you know what else happened today?" ”
Anything else?
This was the first thought that popped into Jing Zhaoyin's mind, and the second thought he hoped that he could not come up in one breath.
It's just over the New Year, why do you keep having accidents?
"The lower official is ashamed, I don't know, please make it clear!"
Jing Zhaoyin replied stiffly, he didn't faint as he wished, and Chu Huai'an didn't go around in circles with him, and said bluntly: "The second young lady of the Zun Mansion was kidnapped earlier, and now her life and death are unknown!" ”
“……”
As soon as these words came out, Jing Zhaoyin suddenly sat down on the ground, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he subconsciously glanced at Su Li.
Five years ago, Su Li was taken captive and lost the face, and now Su Zhaoyue was taken captive, if she is dead, it is fine, if she comes back safe and sound like Su Li, Jingzhao Yin Mansion will also be disgraced, not only that, Zhang Ling is afraid that he will be laughed at with a green hat for the rest of his life.
At this time, what he was most concerned about was not whether Su Zhaoyue could be rescued, but how to save the face of Jing Zhaoyin Mansion.
His brain was stirred into a pulp, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and ask loudly: "Yes...... Who is so bold? ”
"Isn't that what you should ask your lordship?" Chu Huai'an asked rhetorically, Jing Zhaoyin choked, his face turned blue and white, his old face was so hot that he was in pain, and he said: "What Hou Ye said is that the lower officials must solve the case as soon as possible and arrest the murderer!" ”
At this time, it seems that there is nothing else to say except to say this kind of guarantee that has no practical meaning.
Su Li looked at it coldly beside her, and said gently: "The second sister was brought to live in the other courtyard, I heard that in the past few days, the daughter and his wife have gone to the other courtyard to make trouble and humiliate my second sister, but they were beaten back by the nursing home, this can be regarded as a grudge, according to the experience of adults in judging cases for many years, how to deal with such a situation?" ”
“…… Three...... Third Miss, Neiren and Xi'er are reckless, I have already taught them a lesson, why do you ......"
Jing Zhao Yin wanted to defend himself weakly, but Zhao Hanzhuo interrupted: "In general, when the case occurs, you should start from the daily life of the parties involved in the case to see if there is any grudge and revenge, if there is, first bring the person with grudge and grudge to the yazhong for interrogation, if the case is tried and the suspect involved in the case has a close relationship, you should avoid suspicion!" ”
Zhao Hanzhuo said it clearly, not close to people, this codex of case judgment was compiled by him, and he naturally knew it well.
The corners of Jing Zhaoyin's eyes twitched: "Lord Zhao, this is the official's housework!" ”
"Oh? That Ben Hou's injury is also a family matter? Chu Huai'an spoke at the right time, and the three of them formed an encirclement, forcing Jing Zhaoyin to have nowhere to escape.
Su Li and Chu Huai'an still have no evidence to prove that the person who kidnapped Su Zhaoyue and the person who shot and injured Chu Huai'an were the same group, so the kidnapping of Su Zhaoyue should be under the control of Jing Zhaoyin.
But how can Jing Zhaoyin's efficiency compare to Dali Temple? Moreover, the two things are inextricably linked, and if they are investigated separately, there will inevitably be a lot of inconvenience.
So now Su Li is forcing Jing Zhaoyin to take the initiative to give up this case, so that he can give it to Zhao Hanzhuo.
Jing Zhaoyin originally thought that this case was in his hands, and he could do something to protect his face at that time, but at this time, he was pressed by three people step by step, and he was forced to speak: "This case minister...... The minister avoided suspicion, and asked Lord Zhao to find out the truth as soon as possible and find the murderer! ”
After getting the initiative, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Huaian didn't want to stay here longer, grabbed Su Li's hand and stood up with strength, and leaned on her shoulder as if he had no strength: "Okay, Lord Zhao, go find those grandsons, my lord is going home to recuperate." ”
"Congratulations to Master Hou!"
Jing Zhaoyin stood up and stepped aside, Su Li helped Chu Huai'an to walk out, and just went downstairs, An Wuwu was pushed in by the guy in a wheelchair, and the guests in the lobby had already dispersed.
"The grass people meet the Hou Ye! Please forgive the grass people for their inconvenience in their legs and feet, and they cannot salute. ”
An Wuwu said indifferently, as if he didn't see the injury on Chu Huai'an's arm, nor did he see the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple blocking his front door.
"Yo, isn't this An Dashao, long time no see!" Chu Huai'an replied in a light tone, as if he had seen something new.
An Wuwu kept smiling, not angry at all, and tilted his head slightly to the shopkeeper and said: "Hou Ye is injured, go and bring the thousand-year-old snow ginseng in the treasury to give Hou Ye medicine!" ”
"Yes!"
The shopkeeper said that he was going to run to the backyard, but was stopped by Chu Huai'an: "Excuse me, this injury is not a big deal, you can't be in such a hurry to give gifts!" ”
Chu Huai'an stabbed An Wuwu, An Wuwu smiled, and looked at him with deep eyes, like an elegant beast, poked by a rampaging person with sharp claws, revealing a little bit of claw tips shining with cold light.
Chu Huai'an usually hates dealing with people like An Wuwu the most, tomorrow is a sick man, he doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, and when he looks at people, he doesn't know how many emotions he has in a whirlpool, as if he has a short life and everyone owes him.
His heart was not happy, and Chu Huai'an's mouth was also very unfriendly: "This little injury is nothing to me, but Da Shao should need that 10,000-year-old snow ginseng to continue his life more than me!" ”
This was said very sharply, An Wuwu didn't have anything to do, the shopkeeper couldn't listen to it anymore, and argued with Chu Huai'an with red eyes and a stalk on his neck: "Master Hou, my master is also a good intention, if you don't appreciate it, forget it, why do you want to be so slanderous?" ”
The shopkeeper is used to talking clever things on weekdays, and he is afraid of Chu Huai'an's identity, so he can't say anything unpleasant, so his momentum is mostly weak.
"Shut up! Don't be disrespectful to Lord Hou! An Wuwu stopped the shopkeeper and apologized to Chu Huai'an.
His endurance is extremely strong, but this kind of situation where he is almost pointed at and scolded by others does not get angry, which always makes people feel a little unfathomable and terrible.
Su Li thought of Yue Yan being arrested before, thought of the strange firewood room and warehouse in the backyard of the teahouse, and now saw An Wuwu's smile again, and her back was inexplicably cold.
Chu Huai'an snorted coldly, not wanting to talk to An Wuwu anymore, he used some strength to take Su Li out, and suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves.
The man was in a hurry, and when he came to the teahouse, he stopped and reined the reins of the horse, and the horse was strangled and neighed loudly, and the man turned over and dismounted, and rushed into the teahouse with a quick step, and took out a bright yellow scroll from his back.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!"
The three words fell, Su Li and Chu Huaian knelt down, Zhao Hanzhuo and Jing Zhaoyin also went downstairs and knelt down, and the people inside and outside the teahouse who heard these three words all knelt down, only An Wuwu did not.
He sat upright in a wheelchair, from just having to look up at people to being superior to being superior.
His expression was leisurely and unrestrained, no different from the beginning.
Su Li suddenly had a strange guess in her heart: Is this person in a wheelchair in order to never kneel down and surrender to anyone again? Even if it's royal!!
