Chapter 774: Blue and White Porcelain
Steward Xu looked solemn, shook his head and said: "Three doctors came last night, and in the early hours of the morning, I went to invite two doctors, and now the five doctors are in the house, and the lady is also accompanying the side, until now, they have not come out in the house, the current situation of the master, the old slave is not clear." ”
Yuan Chongshang frowned, and Steward Xu had already said, "The two adults invite the room to sit first." ”
At this moment, there was the sound of a carriage from behind, and then I saw a carriage stopped in front of the door, and I saw Kou Qing and Lu Lengyue getting down from the carriage one after the other, Kou Qing was dressed in an official robe, Lu Lengyue was a brocade dress and jade belt, carrying a box in his hand, and saw Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan, these two people hurried in, Steward Xu hurriedly saluted, Kou Qing and Lu Lengyue also stepped forward to salute Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan.
That night, Chu Huan aggressively asked the Lu family for debts, at this time Lu Lengyue seemed to have never happened to such a thing, and was still very respectful to Chu Huan, Steward Xu led a few people to the main hall, Kou Qing said as he walked: "My lord, the people of the Guards have blocked the gates of the city, and the people of the Criminal Department are now also searching for Liu Lao Liu in the whole city, but there is no news at the moment, Xia Guan has sent several of the most outstanding cadres of the Criminal Department to investigate Liu Lao Liu's interpersonal relationships on weekdays, Liu Lao Liu's hometown is in Qingzhou, Xiaguan has already run to his hometown, even if he can't find Liu Laoliu, he will arrest all his family. ”
Yuan Chongshang frowned and said: "Then since Liu Lao Liu dares to make such a deadly move, he must have made a careful plan in advance, I am afraid that your people will go to his hometown and can only pounce." ”
Kou Qing frowned, and said solemnly: "This is really amazing, someone dares to poison the commander of Li, if the subordinate finds out the real murderer, he will definitely be cut with a thousand knives." ”
Lu Lengyue had already asked beside her, "My lord, what is the situation of Commander Li's envoy now?" ”
"The doctor is still in there." Yuan Chongshang said: "There is no news for the time being, let's go to the lobby and wait for a while to see the situation of Commander Li." ”
Lu Lengyue handed the box in her hand to Steward Xu and said, "This is the old ginseng produced in Liaodong, you send it over first and see if you can use it." ”
Steward Xu naturally thanked him again and again, led a few people into the lobby, and after taking a seat, he arranged for someone to serve tea, and then retreated.
A few people sat in the living room, and Kou Qing took the lead and said: "Commander Li treats people kindly on weekdays, and I haven't heard of such a grudge with anyone, why does the other party want to make such a dead hand?" ”
Yuan Chongshang took the tea and blew the end of the tea, and said, "You are the head of the Criminal Department, and you still have to investigate this matter clearly." I am an envoy in command, and I have been poisoned, if I can't find out why, you don't have to do anything about it. ”
Kou Qing hurriedly said yes.
"My lord, is it possible that Huang Tianyi's people did it?" Lu Lengyue said on the side.
Yuan Chongshang shook his head: "I can't be sure for the time being, but the possibility of Huang Tianyi is extremely low." If you want to kill someone, there must always be a reason, and it is impossible to murder the commander of the dignified guards for no reason, and if it is not a last resort, there is an ulterior motive, and the other party will never take action lightly. Although Huang Tianyi is a traitor to the party, he doesn't have much grudge against Commander Li, why did he kill Commander Li? Even if Huang Tianyi wants to kill someone, the first one he wants to kill is the Governor, and the second one is probably Fang Commander, the Praetorian Guards under Fang Commander's subordinates besieged Yusuo Lake, whether it is against the Governor or the other party's Commander, it can be explained, but this time to suppress the bandits, the Guards of the Li Commander have not been mobilized, why did he want to attack the Li Commander? ”
Everyone only felt that Yuan Chongshang's words were very reasonable, and they all bowed slightly.
Chu Huan remained silent, took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup, and suddenly said: "My lord, as far as I know, if today's disciples are all over the country, it is rumored that there is a governor who was also stabbed by the people of Tianmen Dao, and the commander was suddenly poisoned, is it possible that it has anything to do with Tianmen Dao?" ”
"Tianmen Dao?" Yuan Chongshang's brows tightened.
Chu Huan's gaze swept over the faces of several people, and then he saw Kou Qing shaking his head slightly and said, "Lord Chu, the foundation of Tianmen Dao is in the southeast, and we have never heard of people from Tianmen Dao making trouble. ”
"You may have heard that there was a chaotic party in Tongzhou on Xishan Road." Chu Huan said slowly: "Since the people of Tianmen Dao can appear in Tongzhou, they will naturally also appear in Anyi. ”
Yuan Chongshang groaned slightly, and finally asked Kou Qing: "Didn't you go around bewitching the Demon Dao half a year ago and were arrested and put in prison by you, and then the governor didn't ask, those Taoist priests can be implicated in the Tianmen Dao?" ”
Kou Qing immediately said: "My lord, those Taoist priests have personally interrogated them, but they are just charlatans who want to coax ordinary people out of their money, but they have nothing to do with Tianmen Dao." However, those Taoist priests are still locked up in prison, and the lower officials have not released them. ”
At this moment, I saw Steward Xu hurriedly entering the lobby, "A few adults, the master is awake!" ”
Chu Huan's eyes swept quickly, and seeing that several people present showed surprise, Yuan Chongshang took the lead in standing up and went straight to the door, "This governor will go and take a look at the situation." ”
Several other people also got up, and under the leadership of Steward Xu, they came to the courtyard where Chu Huan had been last night, the courtyard was very scene, but around the courtyard, there were officers and soldiers of the Guards guarding them, there was no doubt that after Li Wangsun's accident, the Guards had obviously strengthened the protection of the commander, and the door had been opened, and when Chu Huan and the others came, they saw several doctors coming out of the house.
Seeing a few officials coming, the doctors hurriedly surrendered their hands, and Yuan Chongshang had already asked, "Commander Li has woken up?" ”
A doctor bowed his head and said: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, Li Commander can be regarded as escaping a catastrophe, but it is not appropriate to talk more at this time, his body is extremely weak, last night to apply needles to detoxify, although the toxin will be removed, but Lord Li's body has also been greatly damaged, without three or two months of recuperation, the body is difficult to recover." ”
Kou Qing said: "Let's just go in and have a look." ”
Yuan Chongshang had already turned around and said: "Master Kou, you and Lu Dongjia go back first, hurry up and investigate the real culprit, this governor and Lord Chu can go in and take a look, he has just woken up, and it is not suitable for many people." Without saying much, he and Chu Huan entered the house one after the other.
When Chu Huan arrived in the house, he saw that the inner room had temporarily set up a bed, Li Wangsun was lying on the couch at this time, and Mrs. Li was sitting on the side to take care of it, seeing Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan coming in, Mrs. Li hurriedly got up and was about to salute, Yuan Chongshang stretched out his hand to stop him, walked to the couch, and saw Li Wangsun's eyes closed, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his breathing was very weak.
Mrs. Li leaned into the ear of Li Wangsun and whispered, "Master, the Governor has come to see you." ”
Li Wangsun barely opened his eyes, saw Yuan Chongshang, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Governor, forgive me...... Forgive the officials can't...... Can't get up ......! Yuan Chongshang shook his head and said: "Lao Li, don't talk too much, this governor just came to take a look, you are safe and sound." You can rest assured that the Governor has sent someone to investigate the real culprit, and he will always give you an explanation. ”
Li Wangsun's voice was weak, and the man who had been beaten with iron was already soft and weak at this time, "My lord, the lower official...... Xia Guan couldn't figure it out, in the end...... Who is going to harm the lower officials......! ”
Chu Huan stood next to Li Wangsun and said softly: "Lord Li, since the Governor said that he wanted to find out the real culprit, you can rest in peace and recuperate, don't think too much." ”
"Lord Chu, thank you...... Thank you for visiting. Li Wangsun's eyes shone slightly, "The lower officials will not die, I'm afraid some people ...... Some people will be disappointed. Lord Chu wants to ...... himself Take care and be careful...... Be careful of the people around you......! ”
Yuan Chongshang frowned and said: "Lao Li, don't say more, look at you like this, just recuperate." You don't have to worry about Lord Chu, even if someone plots against him, this governor is by Lord Chu's side, and no one can hurt him in the slightest. ”
Li Wangsun sighed lightly: "My lord, the lower official...... Xiaguan also felt it, and Liu Laoliu was in Xiaguan's mansion...... In the Xiaguan Mansion for five or six years, the Xiaguan trusted him very much, who knows...... Who knows that one is not aware of it, but is harmed by the people around ......! "I sighed lightly, and I was embarrassed.
Chu Huan said softly: "Don't worry, Lord Li, your words have been remembered." You have a good rest, you have free time, and the official will come to see you again. ”
Yuan Chongshang had already said to Mrs. Li at this time: "Madame, don't be sad, fortunately, there is no danger, Lao Li has picked a life and come back, as long as he lives, it is better than anything." He looked around and asked, "Yes, the little girl is not here?" seemed to understand something, and sighed: "The little girl doesn't know better, so I'll hide this from her for a while." ”
Mrs. Li's expression became strange, but she still said: "Ying'er is not in the house, and she was sent to the concubine's mother's house last month." ”
"Oh?" Yuan Chongshang seemed to be a little surprised, and went to see Li Wangsun, only to see that Li Wangsun had closed his eyes, he had just woken up, although he only said a few words, but his face was full of tiredness.
"Lord Chu, let's go first, let Lao Li have a good rest." He also said to Mrs. Li: "Madam, the governor will then send fifty Praetorian Guards over, and before Lao Li recovers, these fifty Praetorian Guards will be fully responsible for protecting Lao Li's safety. ”
Mrs. Li bowed, "Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan said goodbye to Li Wangsun and his wife, left the house, and just walked out of the door, they heard Mrs. Li calling from behind: "Lord Chu, please wait a moment." ”
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw Mrs. Li holding a blue and white porcelain bottle over, "Lord Chu, this is a concubine given to you by the master." There are two porcelain kilns in the concubine's mother's house, producing porcelain, before the lord poisoned, he said that he would send one to Lord Chu to enjoy, this is the concubine's mother's own firing, and please accept it, the lord used to praise it, the blue and white on this porcelain bottle is good-looking, and Lord Chu can also be used as a pastime when he is free. ”
Chu Huan took the porcelain bottle and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Li and Mrs. Li." ”
Yuan Chongshang reached over and took the blue and white porcelain vase, flipped it in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but say: "The old Li martial artist was born, but he reads and plays porcelain, and compared to him, Bendu is really just a martial artist." With a smile, he returned the blue and white porcelain vase to Chu Huan.
