CHAPTER XXVIII
Jungnan Villa.
It has been five days since Ouyang Xuan and his entourage returned, and Lieutenant Tingwei has all come, and after the body of Zhu Bo Wang Meng was confirmed, he was buried by Shan. The giant boar was dismembered and eaten half a day after it was brought back to the exhibition. Ouyang Xuan opened a piece of land in the villa, soaked the pepper water he brought, and planted it. The streptomyces colonies in the cave were also watered by Ouyang Xuan with water soaked in golden stones, and then placed in a dark place to cultivate, and orphans were responsible for watering every day.
As soon as he got up this morning, Nie Ping hurried to the side room. "Brother Xian, come with me, someone asks to see me." "Who is it?" I heard him say that he is an old friend of the prince".
Ouyang Xuan followed Nie Ping to the living room, and there were two people sitting inside, both of whom knew each other. One is the master father macro, and the other is the public and good sparse. Ouyang Xuan bowed his hand and said, "Lord, father, brother, it's been nearly a year since the Western Regions were separated, how are you doing lately?" ”
The lord's father Hong got up and said: "Meng Junhou is concerned, the family is still good, and this time I returned to Dongtu, I was also entrusted by others."
"Prince, this time I came to disturb you, and I asked for something urgent." Gongliang stood up and bowed his hand. It is difficult to speak and slow to move.
Ouyang Xuan sat on the main seat, with a puzzled expression, "Gongliang Gong has something to say slowly, and it seems that the Gong's body is the same." Somehow? ”
Rong said slowly. It's a matter of my survival." Gongliang Shu was already a little laborious to speak, Ouyang Xuan motioned for him to sit down, found a wooden pier, sat in front of Gongliang Shu's case, took his hand, and took his pulse. waved away Nie Ping and Zhu Shan and others at the door, leaving only Gongliang Shu and Master Father Hong here. After a little rest, Gongliang Shu said slowly.
It turned out that after Dongyang and Ouyang Xuan separated, they sent someone to complete the things entrusted by Ouyang Xuan. I originally planned to go back to Chang'an, but when I arrived in Hongnong County a month ago. Rounded up by the soldiers, the leader was the court captain Chen Jia, who was rescued by his master Hong who was passing through this place on the way back to Chang'an, and Gongliangshu was also seriously injured, and fled along the mountain road, and went to Ouyang Xuan's fiefdom today. Ouyang Xuan listened to Gongliangshu's slow narration while diagnosing the pulse, and through the pulse, the blood pressure was very low, the liver qi was stagnant, the lung yin was deficient, and the internal injuries were very serious. "How did the Lord Father and Brother come here? Entrusted by the people? ”。
"A certain person was entrusted by King Qiuzi and Webster to go back to Dongtu to buy some things, and happened to rescue Juzi on the road."
"What?" Glass and porcelain, now this porcelain is hard to find in the countries of the Western Regions, and glass can only be purchased for thousands of dollars. The king of Qiuzi sent a certain family to negotiate with the prince. When I first came, I heard that the prince and the marquis were fighting Wu Chu, and I wanted to defect in front of the army, but I rescued Juzi on the road, and escaped from the mountains for two months.
"Oh, it's okay to talk to the Nie clan about the glass porcelain. Has this mountain ranger ever been damaged? ”。
"A certain person killed and injured several people, forty miles away from this mountain."
"In this way, the lord father and brother will immediately bring people there, and it will be very good to be captured alive. Come on". A moment later, he flashed into the house. "You quickly gather half of the guards and go to the mountains with your father and brother to find out the whereabouts of the rangers." "No!" , Shantou came out in response to the promise.
"Gongliang Gong has many internal injuries, and he prescribes some medicine and heals them in this villa."
"So, this injury is self-healing, and I am afraid that it will not last for many days. It's just that the little girl has no support behind her, and she asks the prince to take care of her."
"Haha, where did the good man come from, he has a relationship with Momen, and he will not ignore it. The reason why the public was robbed may have something to do with this. In some cases, the injury is just a trivial matter, and a few pairs of medicines can heal in a few months."
"Where is the family of the Lord father and brother? Why don't you join the Fuchu together".
"A certain cheap woman and the little girl are still in the post house in the town, and the young daughter of the big son was also arranged in the post house by the Nie family of the house when she entered the house." At this time, Zhu Shanshan had already assembled the guards and entered the door to ask for instructions. "Lord, father and brother, please take people to the attacked place to investigate, if there are wounded, live. There must be a cause behind this."
The main father Hong went out with Shan. Ouyang Xuan found Nie Ping, "Brother Nie quickly arranged the family members of the main father and brother and the Gongliang sister to the mansion. The house of the apprentice is larger, and the daughter of the master's father and brother and the sister of the Gongliang family are arranged to be in the courtyard of the apprentice's house, and they also have a companion." "No, just". Nie Ping seemed to have something to say, but after looking at Gong Liangshu, he stopped again. Ouyang Xuan waved his hand: "Don't worry about anything else, just do it." If there is any trouble, it is up to them to bear."
Nie Ping went down to arrange it with a worried expression. Ouyang Xuan called the concubine and prescribed a pair of medicine for Gongliangshu's condition, and asked the concubine to go to the hospital to grab the medicine. When he returned to the bedroom, he took a golden stone the size of a grain of rice, grinded it, and in a pot of water, the water immediately turned golden and glowed with a strong blue fluorescence. When the concubine returned, he ordered him to decoction the medicine with this water and not to throw it away.
When the work was over, he sat opposite Gongliangshu and said: "The public is here to recuperate, don't worry about other things, I will come forward later." Ouyang Xuan has heard that Chen Jia has arrested Gongliangshu from the assassination in the bamboo forest to now, and he has been besieged by rangers in the mountains, and he smelled a very strong conspiracy.
"In this way, the old man thanked him."
"Don't say thank you, thank you, it's also this Xie Gong."
After the righteous concubine finished decocting the medicine, and after serving Gongliang Shu and taking the medicine, he let him drink some Jinshi water and helped him to the guest room to rest.
"Brother Xian, do you know who this good man is?" Ouyang Xuan had just returned to the bedroom to change his clothes, and asked in the side room.
"Yes, Momen Juzi. Today, it is no longer the former Qin, and Momen is also a legitimate existence. What's wrong with taking this person in? ”
"The virtuous brother knows, and he doesn't say much for the brother. But beware of some tongues."
"Well, Brother Xie reminded. I don't know what the condition of the nephew of the female pavilion marquis? It's been more than two months. ”。
"Now that he has recovered, the female pavilion has exhausted his worship, and he will come to the door to thank him in a few days. There is another person, I don't know if the virtuous brother will see it or not? ”
"Who? Is it so embarrassing for my brother? ”
"Master Sima Ji, this person has come to the house many times to send him off."
"Haha, see, this matter is all arranged by my brother. In addition, the government has set up a rule in the future and does not support guests. In the future, if anyone comes to visit the meeting, they must make it clear."
"No, I'll handle it for my brother."
"Slow. I also asked my brother to send someone to the beach to buy some unicorn vegetables, stone cauliflower, and Jiang Liancai, and it would be of great use to have caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions to buy some Rong Shu beans."
"What's the use of these things? It's all seaside food." "Haha, don't ask, a certain has its own great use."
"Rong Shu beans, there are still a few catties in the warehouse, all of which were left over from the last time I returned to the East." "Oh, hurry up and bring it, and plant it in the acres of fields in the village."
In the evening, the master father returned from the mountains in a hurry. Brought back four wounded rangers and a dozen or so decomposing corpses, all four of whom were not lightly injured. All of them had severe leg trauma and limited mobility. The wound has suppurated, and sinus tracts have formed in some places. Ouyang Xuan ordered someone to carry them to a stone house used to hold the beasts, fetch the surgical instruments, and after simple disinfection, they were debrided and sutured. The pus was used by Ouyang Xuan to detect the antibacterial function of Streptomyces colonies. After all of them are done, let Shantou find a place to bury those corpses.
"Father and brother, go back to the guest room to reunite with my sister-in-law. These tasks can be handed over to your junior brother." "No", the main father Hong responded to the promise.
Looking at the four people lying on the grass, Ouyang Xuan found a wooden pier to sit opposite them. "Tell me, who are you, and whom are you entrusted with, and what do you want to do? Tell the truth, don't deceive yourself. Otherwise, life is worse than death, and you will definitely be able to taste it." Ouyang Xuan said coldly.
"That is, it falls into the hands of the prince, and life and death depend on the prince. Don't ask too much, what is there to fear when you know that you are going to die," said an elder.
"Haha, what you said was exciting, I don't know if you have something to do with the assassination of Ben Hou in the bamboo forest in the canyon. It's a pity that all those rangers died under the sword."
"Don't ask too much, life and death are fateful."
"Death is now an extreme luxury for you." After speaking, Ouyang Xuan's eyes swept towards a ranger who was relatively lightly injured.
"Someone". A guard behind him arched his hand forward, "What do you command?" ”。
"Tie him up and hang him up and put sackcloth in his mouth." Ouyang Xuan took the short knife and pointed at the ranger who was slightly injured. "No".
In a few moments, two guards tied him to a beam in the house. Ouyang Xuan took the short knife in his right hand and slapped his left hand, and circled around him twice, "Give you one last chance, to say it or not to say it", Ouyang Xuan asked with some playfulness.
The remaining three people had indignant expressions on their faces, and the guy who was hung up also shook his head. Ouyang Xuan took out a crossbow arrow from the crossbow quiver, touched the guy's head, and pressed it under a protrusion of the occipital bone, "To say or not to say?" The guy still shook his head. Don't say you're ruthless." The crossbow bolt roasted on the lamplight, lightly clicked into the lower pit of the occipital bulge, and with a force on the hand, the crossbow bolt penetrated through the bone and was inserted diagonally upwards into most of the finger depth. Then there was a scream, and the guy's feet kicked wildly. Ouyang Xuan didn't pull out the crossbow arrow, because as soon as he pulled out this guy, he hung up, which was the method used by a surgeon under Himmler when interrogating prisoners. Ouyang Xuan lifted the outer width of his silk and wiped the short knife vigorously. "Don't you say it yet?". The guy was still shaking his head with tears in his eyes. Ouyang Xuan just smiled and put the short knife on the crossbow shaft, and the guy struggled even more fiercely. After struggling for a long time, Ouyang Xuan withdrew the knife and continued to wipe.
He looked coldly at the struggling fellow, and after about a quarter of an hour, tears and snot flowed down, and he used a short knife to pick out the sackcloth that covered his mouth. He didn't speak, but put the dagger on the shaft of the arrow again. This time it was an even more tragic cry, and the sound made people get goosebumps suddenly, and their hearts and livers trembled. After screaming for a while, Ouyang Xuan casually withdrew the knife again and wiped it, slowly circling around the guy who was still struggling and howling. "Don't you want to say it yet?" The guy still shook his head, and said: "A chivalrous man would rather die than sell." "Good, good, backbone". This time, Ouyang Xuan took a long time to wipe it, and when he took it away, he could hear a snapping sound. Ouyang Xuan put the short knife on the shaft of the arrow again, and this time the screams were louder and more penetrating. In addition to the three wounded rangers in the stone house, there were also several guards and Zhu Shan, who had rushed back after burying the corpses, and the short knife was put down for a full quarter of an hour before it was withdrawn. Ask one of the guards to go to the workshop to find a glass bar and come back, "Haha, it's hard enough." See how long you can make it out." After speaking, he took off the outer opening, supported his hands and rubbed it repeatedly, until there was a snapping sound, and put the friction on the shaft of the arrow, and there was another scream, and his throat was already dumb. In the end, this guy just can't stand it. "I said, I said, please wait for a good time."
"Say, by whom do you entrust you? What do you want to do? ”。
"We were all ordered by the king of Liang to assassinate Hu Hou and arrest those who were related to Hu Hou's expedition. under the direct command of Chen Tingwei".
"Don't bully me for being weak, Ben Hou and King Liang have nothing to do with each other, why do you want to harm Ben Hou?"
"I don't know this, I just obey the order, and I beg for a good time."
Ouyang Xuan looked at the other three and saw them nodding, indicating that what this person said was the truth. Walk behind him, hold the shaft of the arrow, and push hard, the crossbow arrow comes out of the front of the forehead, slapping the entire shaft of the crossbow arrow into the head, and pulling the crossbow arrow from the forehead. This guy no longer has a trace of breath, but his body is still twitching, which is the natural firing reaction of the nerves, and he was ordered to be carried out and buried. Gagged the remaining three people in the same way, tied them up and hung them.
"Is he telling the truth? If yes, nod your head". After listening to this, the three of them nodded about the same as pounding garlic. He took off the sackcloth and asked, "I have nothing to do with King Liang, so why did I assassinate Ben Hou?" ”
"We really don't know, but I just heard that the Zhu family once said that it is related to the face of Hu Hou and the fate of the king, so His Majesty burned a lot of impeachment and Hu Hou, and King Liang mourned." What the fuck is this, Ouyang Xuan scolded in his heart. "Come on, hand over these three to the lieutenant, and remember not to let the lieutenant interfere." "No!" Shantou did what he promised.
