Chapter 128: Looking at the Problem (Part I)
In the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, Jiang Zhijie was yelling at Li Guizi. "What do you eat? The official asked you to carefully check the situation around the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now what the hell are you telling the official? No clues were found, and even the assassins didn't know how they entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you eat dry rice? Check it out for Lao Tzu! If you can't find any clues, Lao Tzu will skin you alive! As soon as he finished sending out an evil fire, Jiang Zhijie was still panting and sitting on his back, when there was a knock on the door of the public house. He shouted angrily, "Get in!" ”
Xue Pingchuan walked in with a smile and said, "Uncle Jiang, who made you so angry?" Tell my nephew that I beat him so much that he doesn't even recognize his mother. ”
Jiang Zhijie tugged at the collar that he felt a little tight, and said with a sneer: "Okay! You're such a good nephew. Just now, Li Guizi made Lao Tzu half angry, you go and beat him so that he doesn't even know his mother. If you can't do it, I'll beat you up so much that you don't even know your father. ”
Xue Pingchuan suddenly said with an embarrassed smile as if he had been choked by the neck: "Eh! My nephew is a little unhappy when he sees your old man, and he is specially amusing you. "He has long heard of the name of Li Guizi, even in Beizhen Fusi, where there are many masters, he is one of the most ruthless. He was quite unconvinced when he first came in, and he teased the other party in the past, and then he didn't know how he fainted, but he remembered that he was still in pain when he wanted to come over.
"Look at your cowardly look! also ran in front of Lao Tzu to fill a big head of garlic, and he didn't look at how many catties and taels he had. Do you really think that a few assassins left behind are just a character? I don't know how thick the sky is! Jiang Zhijie didn't bother to bother with Xue Pingchuan, who was running a carriage with his mouth, and of course he wouldn't let go of the opportunity to stab him, so that he would not go to the house to expose the tiles again.
"Yes, yes, I'm cowardly, I'm instigated. You're always a hero, and you're not less than you were back then. Xue Pingchuan knew that he was a pound, so he immediately put away the tail that had just been cocked and began to pretend to be low.
Jiang Zhijie picked up a large porcelain cup and took a sip of tea, and then spit out the tea leaves in his mouth, and then asked lightly: "Say, what is the matter with coming to me today?" I'm very busy, I don't have time for you to talk nonsense. ”
Xue Pingchuan smiled and said in a low tone: "Uncle Jiang, I have something to do when I come to you today. Last night, my nephew's team did a lot of hard work, desperately blocking those assassins, and the casualties were quite heavy. I just went to see them all covered in wounds, and there are still a lot of people missing, and my heart is also unhappy. They are all bastards who lick blood from the knife edge, and there is no need to talk about the dead and wounded. Let's see if you can give them some rewards first, so that the atmosphere can be diluted. ”
Jiang Zhijie rubbed his furry rough face and said, "Well, what you said is quite reasonable. Then each of the wounded shall be given thirty taels of silver, and each of the dead shall be given a hundred taels of silver to be burned. How to deal with it later, I also have to ask the commander Master Cao and ask him to make a specific decision. ”
Xue Pingchuan bowed solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xie Qianhu! ”
Jiang Zhijie saw that he was still hesitant not to leave after he finished speaking, and said impatiently: "If there is a fart, release it quickly, don't grind here." I'm busy, I don't have time to play with you! ”
Xue Pingchuan hurriedly said: "Uncle Jiang, there is a nephew named Xu Anping, you should still remember, right?" ”
Jiang Zhijie frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Is that the eldest grandson of the country's priest wine?" What's the matter, he's getting you in trouble? ”
"Not really. The situation last night was very dangerous, if he hadn't pulled his nephew away in time, I wouldn't have waited for Li Guizi to bring someone to save him, and he would have been killed by those assassins a long time ago. Thinking of this, Xue Pingchuan was still in a cold sweat. After a life-and-death situation, he realized how ridiculous his previous ideas were.
Jiang Zhijie heard the meaning of Xue Pingchuan's words, but he was the most disgusted with the private use of public weapons, and his face turned cold and said, "What do you want to do?" It's a big deal to give him more money. ”
Xue Pingchuan was a little anxious, and said in an eager tone: "Uncle Jiang, Xu Anping not only saved his nephew's life twice last night, but also killed four assassins by himself, so he was seriously injured. If he hadn't been there, his nephew's team would have been scattered and slaughtered, and the Assassins would have fled. My nephew thought so, and it just so happened that Ding Zongqi under his command didn't listen to greetings, and he made trouble for me from time to time. Can Uncle Jiang transfer Ding Dasheng to the other hundred households, and then let Xu Anping go up? Anyway, with me watching, there will definitely be no problems. ”
Jiang Zhijie thought about it and said with some hesitation: "I still have to think about this, let's talk about it in two days." ”
Xue Pingchuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Uncle Jiang!" I knew that Uncle Jiang was the best for me. ”
Jiang Zhijie pretended to be annoyed and said, "Hurry up and get rid of Lao Tzu, don't mess around here." ”
"Okay, okay, nephew will leave now, don't disturb Uncle Jiang." Xue Pingchuan, who walked to the door, asked again: "Uncle Jiang, what made you so angry just now?" Your nephew might be able to give you ideas. ”
"Do you want to help me with that little bit? If you don't make trouble for Lao Tzu, I will burn high incense and worship the Bodhisattva. ”
Xue Pingchuan put down his hand to open the door, turned around and came back and said a little angrily: "The Lord of a Thousand Households looks down on people. This time, I found out the rudder of the Blood Hand Alliance's capital city, and I also stopped the people. ”
Jiang Zhijie thought about it, anyway, one more person is better than one less. "Alas! This time it was a lot trickier than the Bloody Hand Alliance. I took you to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and although I found a little clue, it was all irrelevant. The Assassin was nowhere to be found, as if he had disappeared into thin air. The emperor has already reprimanded Lord Cao fiercely, and Lord Cao has pressed the matter on me again. If you can't find clues in the next few days, the consequences are unpredictable! ”
Xue Pingchuan thought about this matter and had no clue, so he went back to the public house depressedly, and then called Xue Pingchuan to discuss.
Although Xu Anping didn't know who did the thing, he also had his own guesses in his heart. He silently organized his thoughts, and then said: "Lord Baihu, there are a few words that the lower officials don't know whether to say or not. ”
Xue Pingchuan waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, what should you and I say about it." ”
"The assassin who assassinated Lord Right Xiangye was highly skilled and meticulous, and he didn't leave any clues after committing the crime. It is difficult to solve this case from this aspect, and the time is very tight. However, last time, I followed Master Jiang and Brother Xue into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and found something interesting, which may be helpful to Brother Xue. According to the observation below, the right phase of the leaf should not be as badly injured as it seems. ”
Xue Pingchuan was very shocked and asked, "Oh, are you sure?" What evidence is there? ”
"Brother Xue was listening to the Imperial Doctor, and he probably didn't pay attention to Lord Ye. Although Lord Ye looked pale, with blood on his chest and forehead, his eyes were bright, his knuckles were strong, and his arms did not show any weakness. In the next speculation, the right minister should have used some secret method to weaken his pulse. ”
