Volume 10 Ruling the country with an iron fist Chapter 393 What is the truth

Yang Chunshui never dreamed that Zhang Huan would be the first to come to see her, although this was something she dreamed of, but she also knew in her heart that if Zhang Huan was really allowed to stay with her today, then Pei Ying would not forgive her in the future, Yang Chunshui was extremely conflicted in her heart, and she refused for fear that her husband would be angry with her, especially when the man's unsatisfactory situation, that kind of annoyance was unbearable for her, maybe she would become the first person to enter the cold palace, she was thinking crankily while arranging Zhang Huan's dinner, Thinking that the best way is to satisfy him and then persuade him to go to the eldest sister, maybe this is the best of both worlds.

But to Yang Chunshui's surprise, Zhang Huan didn't think about that kind of thing in a hurry, but drank the stuffy wine one by one, and didn't talk to her, Yang Chunshui suddenly felt a little pity for her husband, she knew that it was only when he was in extreme pain that he would become like this, when Cui Ning left home, he had also been in such pain.

"Master, let the concubine serve you!" Yang Chunshui's face was a little red, but she still mustered up the courage to say that if her husband's pain could be vented, maybe his heart would be better, she couldn't think of anything else to comfort her husband besides herself.

"I'll ask you." Zhang Huan's voice was a little hoarse, and an extremely deep pain burst out of his eyes, "You tell me the truth, did Pei Ying look for you after the assassination?" If so, what did she say? ”

Zhang Huan's painful eyes suddenly became murderous, he stared at Yang Chunshui, and said word by word: "You tell me the truth, you can't hide it at all." ”

Groov! Suddenly, Yang Chunshui suddenly understood Zhang Huan's true intention of coming to her. He was actually for the assassination, and he also suspected the eldest sister, how could this be possible! How could it be the eldest sister, Yang Chunshui was stunned for a while, but she came to her senses after only a moment. He waved his hand again and again: "No! Absolutely not, the eldest sister was heartbroken about this matter, and besides. After the second sister was injured, the eldest sister took care of her, how could it be the eldest sister's doing, master, you can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt the eldest sister. ”

Zhang Huan stared at Yang Chunshui tightly, although her explanation didn't explain anything, but at least it didn't let him hear the most terrible thing, so this matter still needs to be scrutinized. Half a day. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and could see that his body was slightly relaxed, as if it was a relaxation after a big exam, he smiled and pulled Yang Chunshui over and kissed her hard, and laughed in a low voice: "Thank you for your explanation, I hope you can also give birth to a lin'er for me as soon as possible." ”

After that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and actually picked up his clothes to leave, Yang Chunshui panicked. "Master, where are you going? It's so late. ”

"I'll go see Pingping and Cui Ning, and I'll come back to you tomorrow." Zhang Huan put on his coat and walked quickly.

Yang Chunshui looked at his back and disappeared into the night, his eyes gradually brightened, and he returned to the room and began to think hard about how to have children.

The flat room was quite far away from Yang Chunshui's residence, almost a palace head and a palace tail, and it took about a quarter of an hour to go. Zhang Huan came to the flat ward. The room was quiet, and a few little maids were whispering at the door. Suddenly, seeing someone coming, several maids hurriedly stood up, and when the visitor approached, they found that it was the master, they were just about to say goodbye, Zhang Huan shhh With a sigh, he found that Pei Ying's personal maid Yanhong was also among them.

"Is Madame there too?"

Yan Hong hurriedly stepped forward to salute. replied: "Madame came to see Miss Ping." It's in there now. ”

Zhang Huan nodded slightly. Walk briskly into the house. Just walked to the door of the inner room. But I saw the curtain of the door lifted. Pei Ying happened to come out of the back room. I saw Zhang Huan at once. There was a flash of excitement in her eyes. Then it dimmed again. The husband didn't come to find his own land.

"Are you here to see Pingping?" Pei Ying was a little dazed. She didn't know what to say.

Zhang Huan nodded silently. "I only found out yesterday that something had happened at home. The eldest sister has been hiding this from me. ”

"Fortunately, Cui Ning and the child are fine."

Pei Ying forced a smile and said, "The doctor said that Ping Ping had no worries about his life, and he finally picked up a life and came back." ”

"Yes! Her life is so hard that even Hades is afraid of her. Zhang Huan also laughed dryly.

Subsequently, neither of them could find anything to say, and there was a slight embarrassment in the room, Pei Ying suddenly lowered her head and said unusually sadly: "I'm sorry!" I didn't take good care of my family. Zhang Huan silently looked at his wife, looking at her thin body and thin shoulders, he thought that he had been fighting abroad for many years, almost never asked about the affairs of the family, all the things were pressed on the thin shoulders in front of him, she not only had to take care of the family, but also for herself to care about the families of the soldiers, which family married, which family old people died, she had to care for them one by one, and mobilized women to sew clothes and shoes for the soldiers on the front line, all of which she never complained to herself, And he even doubted her

It's been eight years, has the love of husband and wife been pierced so easily by a sword? Zhang Huan suddenly felt a strong guilt in his heart, as if he heard a voice scolding him fiercely, you are such a bastard! Even the most beloved person around you has to doubt, are you still a man?

Zhang Huan's nose was a little sour, he impulsively hugged his wife in his arms, hugged her tightly, and said in her ear with a trembling voice: "Ying'er, I'm a bastard, I'm unexpectedly."

Pei Ying suddenly stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, she raised her head, her tears were full of joy of being loved by her husband, she felt her husband's remorse from the heart, all the grievances and grievances disappeared without a trace at this moment, she solemnly said to Zhang Huan: "Actually, I know, you are a little suspicious of the assassin I set up, I won't blame you, this assassination is indeed too weird, obviously carefully arranged, but, I assure you, it is definitely not me!" ”

Zhang Huan hugged his wife deeply in his arms, and he sighed softly, "No matter who it is, you are my most beloved queen." ”

Pei Ying suddenly understood what Zhang Huandi meant, and she also had a lot of suspicions in her heart. "Could it be that this matter is really the Pei family's dry land?"

The more I think about it, the more likely it is, many people around me are from the Pei family, and it is really easy for the Pei family to buy them out, so the assassin is so familiar with the situation in the mansion, it is very likely that the Pei family is afraid that Cui Ningdi's child will threaten Qi'er's position. That's why he rushed to the palace before he moved in, and just took advantage of Zhang Huan's Jiangdu incident in Jiangdu, which caused official resentment to boil.

Pei Ying secretly made up her mind, if this matter was really done by the Pei family. Even if her husband doesn't pursue it, she will never spare it.

Thinking of this, Pei Ying gently pushed Zhang Huan away, pointed to the inner room and whispered: "Pingping is very pitiful, you should care more about her!" I'm here with her tonight. ”

"Eldest sister, who is pitiful!" Suddenly, there was a plain and dissatisfied resentment from the back room, "Hey! Both of you are old husbands and wives, and you are still here with me. Am I really wood? ”

"Dead girl. The ears are very pointed. Pei Ying scolded with a low chuckle, and then pushed her husband, "Go quickly!" Since this stupid girl is even afraid of Hades, I can't afford to mess with her. ”

Pei Ying was just about to leave, but Zhang Huan grabbed her and said in a very low voice in her ear: "I will come to you tonight." ”

Pei Ying's face flushed, she glanced at her husband in a charming way, turned around and left, and the misunderstanding was eliminated. Zhang Huan was full of relief and joy, he smiled and walked to the flat inner room and coughed, "Senior sister, can I come in?" ”

"Wait a minute!" Pingpingdi's voice was a little flustered, she didn't know what she had done, and after a long time, she said, "Come in!" ”

The room was filled with the cool smell of medicine, lying flat on the couch, stuffing a comb under the pillow, Zhang Huan only pretended not to see it. He sat down on the embroidered pier on the edge of the flat couch. Looking her up and down for a moment, he smiled slightly: "Let you lie on the couch for a few days without moving." It's hard for you. ”

"I don't dare to indulge myself this time." Ping Ping said with some frustration: "The doctor said that if my wound bursts again, my life will really be gone." ”

Zhang Huan pondered for a while, and then said to Ping Ping sincerely: "This time it's really thanks to you." ”

"What are you polite to me?" Ping Ping waved his hand embarrassedly and smiled: "Besides, I also want to save my life, the doors and windows are blocked by those two guys, and I can't escape if I want to." ”

Zhang Huan's heart moved, maybe he could get any clues from Pingping, he was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked, "Do you remember the situation at that time?" ”

Mentioning the assassin, Pingping's face suddenly sank, although the conversation between Zhang Huan and Pei Ying just now was small, but she heard it clearly, she also understood what Zhang Huan meant, he was actually suspicious of the eldest sister Budeju, although Zhang Huan had apologized, but this still made her heart linger, there were some things she knew in her heart, but she didn't want to say it, so when the Department of Internal Affairs investigated the matter and asked her, she deliberately concealed some details.

But now Zhang Shibai actually suspects that she has a wife, and she has to say some things.

"My father used to tell me that all the people who became emperors were mostly alone, because he was worried that others would rob him of his position, so he doubted this and that all day long, and even his wife and children didn't believe it, and in the end they betrayed their relatives and left, and all their lives were spent in loneliness, originally I only listened to my father tell these things as a story, but I didn't expect you Zhang Shibai to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I was thinking, you have been a person who values love and righteousness since you were a child, and your father's words should not include you, but I didn't expect me to be cold today, and you are no exception."

But I was already anxious to defend myself, but Ping Ping said angrily: "Don't interrupt me!" ”

Zhang Huan was helpless, so he had to continue to listen to her patiently, "I also know that I am not as smart as you, since I was a child, I seem to be missing roots, I don't care about anything, but this does not mean that I don't know anything, I have been to many places over the years, whether it is Longyou or Shuzhong, or Xiangyang Guanzhong, all the people are praising you for the benefit of the people, caring for the people of the world, to be honest, hearing their praise, I am also proud of you, this is the real reason why I decided to follow you all the time, I want to supervise you, I have to remind you all the time not to do things that harm the people, but now you actually doubt yourself about marrying a wife, even if you repent afterwards, but you should not have such thoughts, you must know that if you can't even trust your own wife and children, then how can you still have a conscience in your heart, without a conscience. You will only think about various interests, and you will not really seek benefits for the people of the world. ”

Zhang Huan listened to Pingping's words silently, he didn't expect Pingping to be able to say such a truth, since he was a child, he has regarded Pingping as a sister, and let her do everything. Later, because she was lonely, he moved the idea of marrying her, and this was just to take care of her for the rest of his life. It's more out of a kind of responsibility, but whether it's brother and sister love or later family affection, he doesn't treat Pingping as a friend equally, and he never thinks of listening to what she says.

But today's Pingping's words made him feel as if he knew her for the first time, and from her words, he felt Pingping's sincere feelings for him, he was moved and ashamed, and he was silent for a while.

Ping Ping saw Zhang Huan bow his head and was silent. I also feel that I am a little too serious. He had to look at his ground, so he changed the subject: "Didn't you want to ask me what happened that night?" Then you ask! I can answer them all. ”

Zhang Huan nodded, his thoughts also returned to the assassination case, he pondered for a moment and said, "Let me ask you, were there really only two assassins at that time?" ”

"Yes! It's just two, a man and a woman, both of them are very murderous, and they are strong in martial arts, and I can only deal with that man. I don't care about the female land. ”

A man and a woman? It seems that this point was not mentioned in the report of the Department of Internal Affairs, and the suspicion in Zhang Huan's heart became even stronger, if two people did it together, and as Ping Ping said, she could only resist one person, then the loopholes in it would be obvious, why couldn't the Department of Internal Affairs think of it?

Ping Ping seemed to know Zhang Huan's thoughts, she shook her head and said, "Because I didn't tell the truth to the Department of Internal Affairs, there are some things I don't want outsiders to know." ”

Zhang Huan was taken aback. He hurriedly asked, "What do you don't want outsiders to know?" Say it quickly. What else are you hiding? ”

"I told the investigators of the Department of Internal Affairs that there was only a moment between the arrival of the Assassins and the arrival of reinforcements. Actually, this is not the case, there was a full time between teas, and many strange things happened in the middle, and I didn't tell anyone. ”

Zhang Huan did not interrupt Pingping's words, but quietly listened to her, Pingping raised his head, as if recalling the bloody in the middle of the night, "Late that night, I thought there were too many mosquitoes in the house, so I came to sleep with Cui Ning, but mosquitoes always buzzed in my ears, I didn't sleep well, so I got up to fight mosquitoes, suddenly, I heard a click in the courtyard, like a branch was trampled off, I instinctively looked out of the courtyard, and saw two black shadows rushing towards me, they cut the window with a sword, and rolled in together, fortunately, my sword did not leave my body, blocked them at once, and at this time, the nurse picked up her child and ran out, and the female assassin chased after her, hating and anxious, and hurriedly shouted Cui Ning to sleep in the outer room. ”

"Wait!" Zhang Huan suddenly heard something strange, he groaned for a while, and then asked, "Are you saying that the nurse picked up her child and ran out at the same time that the assassin came in?" ”

"That's right." Ping Ping said unusually calmly: "That's the first weird thing I said, I reacted quickly because I didn't sleep, I was looking for mosquitoes everywhere, and I heard the movement of the hospital, but the nurse actually reacted at the same time as me, and ran out with the baby in her arms, which is really weird." ”

Zhang Huan's eyes narrowed slowly, and he already heard the door a little, "And then?" ”

"Then I heard the nurse screaming outside, and then I saw Mingyue rushing back with the baby in her arms, and got under the nurse's bed, the man wanted to rush to kill Mingyue several times, but I stopped him, and Mingzhu desperately smashed the female assassin with a copper basin, and she was killed at this time."

Speaking of this, Ping Ping closed her eyes in pain, she has always had a good relationship with Mingyue and Mingzhu, especially Mingzhu, who always likes to bet with her, but she was cut off her head alive in front of her eyes.

"And then?" Zhang Huan asked again in a low voice, the key now is the female assassin, which is also the core of the whole case.

Ping Ping slowly opened her eyes, she continued with some sadness: "At this time, I have been hit by more than a dozen swords, and I am no longer powerless to stop the female assassin, the female assassin is tall, she can't get in, and the bed is very heavy, she can't overturn it twice, at this time someone is already shouting in the distance, the female assassin jumped on the bed in a hurry, and stabbed under the bed with a sword. ”

"What about Cui Ning? Where was she at this time? Zhang Huan saw that Pingping had never mentioned Cui Ning, and he couldn't help but ask anymore.

Ping Ping saw that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he sighed in a low voice and said: "The second weird thing I said is here, Cui Ning saw that the female assassin wanted to kill the child, she went crazy to catch the female assassin, but the female assassin didn't seem to have the intention of killing her, only pushed her away, Cui Ning pounced on her and fought, the female assassin was annoyed, so he stabbed her in the leg with a sword, and kicked her away, as if it kicked Cui Ning's stomach, Cui Ning screamed and fainted, I wanted to save the child, and at this moment my vest was pierced by a sword, I also stabbed the male assassin in the lower abdomen with a backhand, and I can't remember the rest of the story. ”

Pingping recounted this, Zhang Huan has completely understood the truth of the matter, who wants to kill him? And what is he for? It is already very clear that he is extremely accurate, but unfortunately he did not calculate that Ping Ping will actually be in Cui Ning's room, which is called a wise man's thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake.
