Chapter Seventy-Six: A Mess
Huang Gonggong did not stay in the courtyard for a long time. However, the news he brought made Qian Jin's mood even heavier. Since there are so many black-clothed people attacking the courtyard tonight, and Father-in-law Su happens to be missing at this time, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.
Although he has only dealt with Father-in-law Su a few times, in all fairness, he treats himself quite well. If he hadn't gone out of the palace to the courtyard to deliver medicine today, I am afraid that he would not have suffered this catastrophe.
"Healer?" A flash of lightning flashed through Qian Jin's mind. He stared at the white porcelain vase on the table, and faintly sensed the reason for Grandpa Su's accident.
Seeing this, Gao Yuan picked up the bottle and uncorked it, and gently fanned the smell to the side of his nose: "Strange, since it is a medicine to heal injuries, how can it be so fragrant?" ”
When the fragrance emanating from the bottle subsided slightly, he sniffed it carefully, and after a while, he understood why: "This is corpse water, just stick it on the wound, and the whole person will turn into a puddle of pus." The corpse water is spicy, no wonder it has to be covered with such a strong fragrance. ”
Qian Jin's chest rose and fell, and it took a long time to regain his composure: "It seems that these people look up to me." As far as I know, this corpse water is also a miracle medicine that is hard to find. ”
"This poison has appeared in the palace. However, there are no less than 5,000 palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, who do you ask for check? ”
"Gao Qianhu wants to say that tonight's matter is already a headless case?"
"Hahaha...... Since they have done everything to the extreme, how can they leave you with flaws. ”
Qian Jin calmed down, and his thoughts that had been disturbed by anger before became a little clearer. Thinking back to Father-in-law Su's expression when he came to the courtyard today, he shouldn't have known that there was a problem in the medicine, and most of them were transferred halfway.
The other party can be described as a two-pronged approach this time, on the one hand, poisoning himself with corpse water, and on the other hand, dispatching the man in black to snipe the people in the courtyard. I was fortunate not to use that bottle of medicine, and the man in black was also easily killed by Gao Yuan, which can be said to be lucky.
Qian Jin took a deep breath, his mood unusually heavy. This time, the other party's layout was precise and the killing was decisive, so that he, a traverser who had two lives, was a little powerless to deal with, and today was completely passively beaten.
"Hey, look at your deflated look, these two blows will wilt you?" Gao Yuan glanced at Qian Jin with disdain.
It made Gao Qianhu smile. This time, the other party's targets were obviously Shousuke and my grandfather, and I was by them. Qian Jin settled down and said: "Chen Guo is now sick, but there are people who are bent on grabbing the throne. ”
"It seems that you are not stupid, you can actually associate tonight's events with King Ming." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "'North Shoufu, South Tianzheng', now that Shoufu is sick, it is difficult to say whether he can survive this hurdle; As soon as these two big trees fall, my Chen Guo is really unpredictable. ”
"Gao Qianhu knows about King Ming?"
"That's all you say. It was an open secret that King Ming wanted to oppose it, but before he didn't oppose it, no one dared to say it. After all, it was all a family affair between the emperor and the two uncles and nephews of King Ming. ”
Qian Jin originally wanted to ask more about his grandfather from Gao Yuan's mouth, but then he thought about his grandfather and asked others, but no one believed it.
At this time, Bao'er had already given the antidote to Lao Qian and they smelled it. However, everyone was still asleep, and only Lao Qian woke up alone. Bao'er told her father about the situation in the courtyard, and the latter came to Qian Jin's room with a solemn expression.
Gao Yuan has already cut off all the enemies who will commit crimes, and if he stays for a long time, he is afraid of causing trouble, after all, he is the person who the Queen Mother wants to take. Not long after, he confessed and disappeared from the door in a blink of an eye.
"Dad, it's okay, you can rest early, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow morning." Qian Jin didn't want to say anything in detail.
"Is this still called okay? My head is almost gone. Old Qian pulled out the wind and thunder knife and went out of the door angrily.
Qian Jin smiled at Bao'er and said, "Go back to sleep, it's okay tonight." ”
…………
In the early morning of the second day, the shopkeeper of Huajian Fang Fan was invited to the courtyard.
This Fan shopkeeper and Ding Wei are Qian Jin's right-hand men, but Qian Jin feels that Lao Fan is a bit of a mother, so he usually uses Ding Wei more.
When Lao Fan arrived at the courtyard, Qian Jin sent him three instructions:
First: immediately send someone to notify Wu Ju to inspect all the wine in the winery to prevent anyone from poisoning or setting fire;
Second: send 20 people back to the courtyard to help;
Third: Immediately go to the Hongyuan Dart Bureau and ask Old Man Yun to send a dart master to protect the courtyard and the two workshops.
Half an hour later, the people of the winery were in place; Qian Jin was also dressed neatly and put on the green official robe again.
The first thing Qian Jin ordered was to behead all the black-clothed people who died last night, and after that, they were sent to Shuntianfu and Nancheng Soldiers and Horses in wooden boxes, and the remaining corpses were pulled outside the city to be burned. There is such a big thing in his own family, what do he Jia Zhongnan, the Mansion Yin, and the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division do.
Originally, the dead were the greatest, and Qian Jin disdained to do so. However, in order to completely annihilate the gang of assassins last night, Gao Yuan directly crushed the throat bone when he started, and if it was found out by the pretend, it would be a little troublesome, and it would be better to kill the head directly.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Jin asked people to carry him to the Zhenfu Division. Li Bin and Mu Qing followed closely on both sides, both shrugging their heads. This morning, when they heard about the courtyard, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak for a long time. Qian Jin didn't speak along the way, naturally he didn't blame them, but he was really in no mood.
After arriving at the gate of the Zhenfu Division, Qian Jin smelled a strong smell of blood in the air, and immediately understood why Gao Yuan said last night, "There was a commotion outside." He ordered the people to put down their soft chairs, and he went in alone with two crutches.
At this time, Hong Menda was directing the Jinyi guards to carry the corpses, some of them were Jinyiwei's, and the others were all black-clothed people.
After a rough count, the Jinyi Guard lost nearly two hundred people last night, and the black-clothed man had about one hundred and fifty people. The courtyard of the palace was full of blood and traces of fighting, and there were weapons and pools of blood scattered everywhere on the ground, which showed the fierceness of the battle last night.
When Hong Menda saw Qian Jin, he greeted with red eyes: "Brother Qian, I haven't seen you for a while." ”
"Is the loss big?" Qian Jin said something that didn't hurt.
"Hey......" Hong Menda sighed and said slowly: "Last night, these dead soldiers suddenly entered the Zhenfu Division, and all the brothers on duty of more than a hundred were killed. Later, Leng Commander urgently summoned all the Jinyi guards to return to defense, and the palace transferred some Jin Wuwei to kill all the outlaws. ”
"Have you ever found out the identity of this group?"
"No, I didn't." Hong Menda glanced at Qian Jin resentfully, and then said: "They are here to detain the more than ten officials who were detained in the case of selling official positions. ”
"Liu Shilang, did they survive?"
"There is not a single one left dead, and all the files that were interrogated by the three divisions have been destroyed."
Qian Jin patted Hong Menda on the shoulder, said "Festival Mourning" and walked towards the gate.
Originally, Qian Jin also wanted to ask Hong Menda why there were so many black-clothed people in the capital, but he didn't know it as a commander. After thinking about it, forget it, after all, he himself is also a person of Jinyiwei, and it would be a bit unkind to talk about this at this time.
…………
Under the palace walls of the imperial city, Qian Jin walked step by step with a cane, and the sound of crutches hitting the floor echoed in the air, as well as his heavy gasps.
The last time I entered the palace to see the Queen Mother was on August 15, and there would be Gonggong Su leading him, but now he is the only one. Looking at the towering palace walls on both sides, as well as the deep doorway not far away, Qian Jin slightly quickened his pace.
Today, he has something to say for himself, for Father-in-law Su, and for the people of the whole world, to ask the Queen Mother in person.
By the time he reached the familiar and unfamiliar red-painted door, the wound on his ass seemed to have broken open, and it only felt sticky.
The eunuch guarding the door heard that Qian Jin was going to visit the Queen Mother, and he looked at his thousand household waist cards, so he hurriedly went inside to spread the word.
After a while, Gonggong Hong came out with a whisk, glanced at Qian Jin, and whispered: "Qianhu should also take care of himself, you see that your wounds are cracked, and it is not appropriate to go to see the Queen Mother like this." Besides, the Queen Mother is still angry at the moment. ”
"Has Grandpa Su come back?" Qian Jin asked coldly.
"His body was found in an alley this morning, and his death was tragic......"
Although he had already guessed that something happened to Father-in-law Su, when his death was really confirmed, Qian Jin was still a little embarrassed. A teenage guy was still chatting with himself in the courtyard yesterday, and he was gone in a blink of an eye.
Qian Jin regained his crutches, ignored Gonggong Hong's obstruction, and walked straight towards the main hall of Renshou Palace.
Gonggong Hong hurriedly stopped him, but he heard a cold shout coming from the hall: "Let him come in." ”
