Chapter Eighty-Three: Robbery and Killing

On the way from Donghuamen to Cao's mansion, Cao Yan knew all about the attack on his younger brothers and sisters.

It turned out that today Baoya came to the house again and took Cao Yi and Cao Song out of the house, and when everyone was tired of shopping and went to the restaurant to eat, they were suddenly attacked at the door of the restaurant.

The target of these people's attack was obviously Cao Songβ€”seven or eight people rushed to Cao Song, ignoring the carriage on the side. The Wei brothers were entrusted by Cao Song, so they naturally protected Cao Song, and the palace guards protected the carriage in which the female dependents were riding.

After the murderer was put down by the two of them, he saw that he couldn't get better, so he actually used fire and earth. The Wei brothers were astute and rushed to protect Cao Song to avoid it, but they didn't care about the carriage. Although the horses were not close, they were all frightened and neighed one after another. Although the palace guards were in a hurry to rein in the horses, the coachmen over there could not stop breaking the horses, and the carriages were overturned.

Everyone was horrified, and they couldn't save it, but they saw that the frightened horse was about to drag the wreckage car away, but fortunately a passer-by on horseback came to meet him, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he pounced on him and restrained the horse, which did not cause a big disaster. Bao Ya and Cao Yi were only slightly injured, but Yongjia, who was in the same car with them, was seriously injured.

Cao Yan listened, with unspeakable anger in his heart. Cao Song is just a child, what kind of person is so vicious that he wants to die!! No matter who the other party is, he won't stop there!!

There is a limit to man's patience, and there is no need to endure it anymore.

Xicheng, Caofu.

There was a green tweed mule cart parked at the door, but it was Imperial Doctor Chen's. Cao Yan jumped off the horse and walked in quickly.

There was a guest in the front hall, and Cao Song was here to talk to the man. Seeing Cao Yan coming back, Cao Song stood up and introduced to the person sitting on it: "Brother Seshtu, this is my brother!" He turned his head again and said to Cao Yan: "Brother, this is the eldest brother Seshtu who just saved the third sister and Gege!" ”

"Seshtu?" Cao Yan was familiar with this name, and after seeing the round face of the man, he remembered that this was the third-class guard who had a relationship with each other. It was still in April, when he entered Changchun Garden for the first time, and he couldn't find a place where the minister of the guard was on duty, and he only knew about it because Seshtu was enthusiastic about leading the way.

"Cao?" Seshtu smiled: "I just heard that this little brother said that it was the Jiangning Cao family, so I thought it would be you, but this little brother said that the eldest brother was a companion in the palace, I thought it was the same surname, but I didn't expect it to be you!" ”

Although Cao Yan didn't see the scene with his own eyes, but when he heard what Xiao Man said, he could already imagine the danger, and he made a big salute at the moment: "Plug the guard's great grace, Cao Yan remember!" ”

Seshtu didn't expect Cao Yan to come here, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "You and my colleagues, what are you talking about?" It's not a big deal, but it's a gesture. Speaking of this, he pointed to Cao Song next to him and said to Cao Yan: "I will go back to the house with your brother, but I am not greedy for this great favor of Lao Shizi!" It's just that I saw that a few of the murderers had escaped, and the two guards under your brother were taken to Shuntian Mansion, so they followed them for fear of something wrong on the way back. Cao Guard, those people are very vicious, you have to know in your heart, see what amazing people your brother has offended! ”

If someone else said this, Cao Yan might not believe it, but Seshtu said this, he would not have the slightest doubt. - This Seshtu is a warm-hearted person, and he took the initiative to help him lead the way in Changchun Garden.

Cao Song didn't look damaged, but most of his eyebrows were burned. Hearing Seshtu remind his brother to pay attention to whether he had offended a great person, he immediately retorted: "I have only been in the capital for half a month, and I have only been in contact with so many people in the whole day, where have I offended anyone?" …… It can't be the bad guys who recognize the wrong person, right? ”

Cao Song's face changed when he said this, yes, Cao Song has just entered Beijing not long ago, and he is just a child, where can there be any enemies, and he is a killer.

Could it be ...... Those people are coming at themselves again?

Cao Yan first remembered the grievances between the children of the Yellow Flag and himself, but then denied this idea. It won't be them, don't say that Kangxi's attitude is clear and defends him Cao Hao, those people don't dare to act rashly, just saying that such a robbery and killing in broad daylight is too stupid, how to say that they are all children of big families after all, I am afraid that I can't do such a thing that has clearly broken the law.

So, who will it be? Or, instead of facing the Cao family, did he really mistake Cao Song for someone else?

Seshtu's original intention was just to escort Cao Song and the others back to their homes, seeing that Cao Hao was silent in thought, and he knew that there were still patients in the inner courtyard, so it was inconvenient to disturb him at the moment, and he told him to leave with two words.

Sent away Seshtu, and asked Cao Song while walking back, "How are Brother Wei and Second Brother Wei, are they all okay?" ”

Cao Yan heard that the two were killed on the spot, and the situation was very dangerous, so he was quite worried about the Wei brothers.

Cao Song replied: "None of them were injured, but Second Brother Wei's hair was burned, which was worse than my eyebrows!" ”

Because of their lives, both of them were imprisoned and could not be released until after the trial. Although he already knew that the chief housekeeper Cao Zhong was going to Shuntian Mansion to walk around, Cao Yan still didn't worry about the two Wei brothers, and thought that it would be best to find a way to keep people out.

However, for now, I still have to go to the bamboo courtyard to see the injured Yongjia first. Tired of her suffering from this unwarranted disaster, it is really the Cao family who can't live with her.

Cao Mansion, Bamboo Courtyard.

When Cao Yan and Cao Song came over, it happened that Amethyst and Imperial Physician Chen came out of the courtyard.

Cao Yan saw the salute and asked about Xia Yongjia's condition. Imperial Physician Chen touched his white beard and said, "The left arm has a broken bone, and it will take two or three months to get better, and the rest is fine!" ”

Cao Yan thanked him, and waited for Imperial Doctor Chen to leave before entering the courtyard.

Before I got to the upper room, I heard the sound of "huh" crying from the house. First, Baoya's voice: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't pulled my sister out, my sister wouldn't have been hurt." ”

didn't listen to Yongjia's reply, but heard Cao Yiluo crying: "Sister Yongjia......"

Next, it was a woman's slightly hoarse laughter: "What two stupid girls, it's just an accident, what are you two doing?" Don't drop the gold beads again, do you want me to coax you? ”

Cao Yan has some admiration for Yongjia, and at this time she doesn't forget to comfort others, she is really a gentle and considerate woman.

A maid lifted the curtain and came out, and when she saw Cao Yan, she hurriedly leaned down: "Uncle! ”

Cao Yan nodded, reached out to lift the curtain, and entered the room.

When Cao Yi saw Cao Yan coming in, tears couldn't stop flowing: "Brother, Sister Yongjia hurt her arm just to protect me!" ”

When Cao Yan heard this, he became more and more guilty, looking at the pale woman on the soft collapse, and didn't know what to say for a while. The last time I saw her, it was half a year ago, although she couldn't be called radiant at that time, but she also had a sassy air, where is the weaker appearance now?

"You...... Does it hurt badly? Cao Yan saw that there was cold sweat on Yongjia's forehead, and asked.

Yongjia's face was a little more bloody, not as pale as Fang Cai: "It's okay, it's not very painful......"

Hurt muscles and bones, where is the reason not to hurt? Cao Yan secretly scolded himself for asking such stupid words. Thinking of this, he spoke again: "Have you told the Earl's Court about it?" After being tired of Miss Yan being implicated so far, Cao Yan is really ashamed! ”

Yongjia didn't answer, and Baoya said: "Tell me to tell it, just say that I will keep Sister Yongjia in the palace for a few days." My sister wants to go home after a few days, and she will go back to the palace with me in a while! ”

Cao Yan listened, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "If Miss Wanyan doesn't think Cao's Mansion is crowded, she will temporarily recuperate here!" Although the wound is on the arm, it is also a wound to the muscles and bones, so it is best not to move. ”

Although Cao Yan opened his mouth to stay, Yongjia felt that it was inappropriate. In the end, it was Bao Ya Gege who also persuaded her to stay in this house to recuperate, and said that she would also come, so Yongjia was relieved.

At the gate of Cao's Mansion, more than a dozen horsemen and guards galloped towards the king of Pingjun, Nersu.
