Chapter 208: Imperial Tribute Watermelon

Choi Deok-hyun is not dead.

When the officials in the government found him, he was sleeping in a dry well not far from Cui's mansion.

His hands and feet were tied, his eyes were covered, and his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth.

When he was fished up from the bottom of the well by the servants, Cui Dexian's demeanor was peaceful, although his breathing was a little weak, but it was right that he was asleep, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.

After untying Cui Dexian, he examined his body in detail again, and found that Cui Dexian's right leg was fractured, and his right arm was also red and swollen to varying degrees.

It must have been thrown into the well by the Assassins directly from the mouth of the well, but fortunately the right leg hit the ground first, otherwise if the head had hit the ground first, they would have found a corpse now. It can be inferred from this that the Assassin was not familiar with the environment in this area, and he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry when he committed the murder, otherwise Cui Dexian would not have been thrown into a dry well.

After receiving the report from Wang Zhutou, Xiao Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good if you don't die, it's good if you don't die, if you don't die, things won't make a big fuss, and their yamen won't have so many troubles.

"This Cui Dexian is really a lucky star, he was thrown into the well and was still alive, it's really lucky!" Wang Yanhe also sighed, and then asked Xiao Tong softly: "Lord Xiao, since there is no life lawsuit, and that assassin is dying at the moment, it seems that he will not live long, I don't know what this case is......"

"Now that the murderer has been brought to justice, and there is human and material evidence, this case is over."

Xiao Tong put on a businesslike appearance, when he saw the murderous appearance of the assassin in the Tang Mansion, he didn't have to think about it to know that the assassin was afraid that he had some origins, if he really went deeper, maybe there would be some trouble?

Originally, Xiao Tong was still worried about Cui Dexian's possible murder, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain that he would close the case rashly. Well, now that no one died, only the assassin was seriously injured, and naturally everyone was happy, and if he announced the closure of the case at this time, it is estimated that no one would say anything more.

"Wise adults!"

Wang Yanhe nodded happily, such an ending was naturally what he wanted to see the most, Xiao Tongken jumped out to take the lead, that would be better.

Dead soldiers, **, military sleeve arrows, and rare human skin masks all show that the origin of the assassin is extraordinary, and Wang Yanhe even wonders if this assassin is sent by an opponent of the Lu Guogong Mansion to find Cheng Chuliang's bad luck. After all, Cheng Chuliang's protection of the Tang Mansion during this period of time has far exceeded the scope of ordinary neighbors, and now some people say that Tang Xiu is Cheng Chuliang's illegitimate son, and it is estimated that some people will believe it.

The gods fight, it's not that these small fish and shrimp can be mixed in, and I don't know when the black yarn on the top of the head is picked.

"As for that assassin," Xiao Tong raised his eyebrows and said hatefully, "Since he is bent on death, then let him fend for himself in the prison, if he dies, he will be able to explain to everyone and save us a lot of trouble." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Wang Yanhe continued: "Xiaguan has already sent someone to invite a doctor to treat the assassin, even if the assassin dies in prison tonight, he is too seriously injured, and the doctor is unable to return to heaven, and it has nothing to do with our government office." ”

"Well, well done."

Xiao Tong nodded with satisfaction, Pei Youdao's matter has not been explained, Xiao Tong has been worried about this time, if the emperor is really to blame, he may not even be able to keep the current Fu Yin, how can he have so much leisure to care about the life and death of an assassin?

Seeing that Xiao Tong's brows had been locked, Wang Yanhe asked softly, "Your Excellency, are you still worried about the last imperial tribute?" ”

"Alas!" Xiao Tong sighed heavily, "There has been no movement on the Chang'an side, whether it is dead or alive, there is not even a word accurately, this mansion has been suffering a lot during this time, and this Taiyuan Mansion Yin is afraid that it will not be able to do it for long." ”

Wang Yanhe comforted softly: "Lord Xiao is too worried, the lower officials have just received the news, that Pei Youdao has died of illness in prison in Chang'an, since the above has not been punished until now, it means that the emperor has no intention of investigating this matter further, and the position of the lord is still stable." ”

"Pei Youdao is dead?" Xiao Tong's eyebrows raised, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Yanhe, and asked softly, "When did this happen?" ”

"It's been seven or eight days, and if Chang'an really intends to hold the adults accountable for their negligence, there will be no news until today. Therefore, the future of adults is worry-free, and now you can put your heart in your stomach. ”

"In addition," Wang Yanhe looked up at Xiao Tong, and continued: "Xia Guan has always had a suggestion to report to the adults during this time, but he was afraid that he would be suspicious of the adults if he said it, so he held it until today, I don't know ......."

Xiao Tong's eyes narrowed, and he said loudly: "Lord Wang has something to say, but please speak up, even if you say it wrong, it's nothing, we brothers don't need to be so careful and polite." ”

Looking up at Xiao Tong's mood, Wang Yanhe said: "Actually, it's still about the imperial tribute, I don't know if you have considered the watermelons that are coming out of the Tang Mansion now?" ”

"Those tribute watermelons in the Western Regions, Xia Guan was also fortunate to eat some when he was in Chang'an, but those watermelons are far inferior to those grown by the Tang family in terms of appearance and taste. I heard that the emperor has always had a soft spot for watermelons, and if the adults can choose a batch of watermelons from the Tang Mansion to offer, the emperor will definitely be happy in his heart, and you will ...... when the time comes."

"This ......" Xiao Tong couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart when he heard this, but he still hesitated a little and said: "Although the words are good, this mansion is worried that this watermelon in the Tang Mansion will be just a flash in the pan like the original Pei family greens......

Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, the watermelon Xiao Tong of the Tang Mansion has also been concerned for a long time, if it were not for the experience of the Pei family's green vegetables, she encountered this situation in the past, as early as when the first batch of watermelons appeared, Xiao Tong had already reported to the imperial court, and he would not have waited until now There has been no movement.

"Your Excellency is too worried," Wang Yanhe persuaded softly: "Today in the Tang Mansion, Wang Jingli and Liu Chai Ming's attitude towards Tang Xiu is also seen with his own eyes, since the three families have formed an alliance, the Wang and Liu families must have obtained the Tang family's watermelon planting secret method, even if there is an accident in the Tang family, there are still Wang and Liu families for adults to choose from, and adults don't have to worry about anything similar to the Pei family's green vegetables at all." ”

Wang Yanhe spared no effort to persuade him, since he knew that Chang'an had no intention of pursuing Xiao Tong's faults, it was naturally impossible to talk about Xiao Tong's dismissal. If Wang Yanhe wants to replace Xiao Tong, he has to find another way to branch Xiao Tong's mansion, and the watermelon in the Tang Mansion in front of him is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

If it weren't for this credit, he Shaoyin would not have been able to justifiably get it to himself, and Wang Yanhe would not have retreated to give this credit to Xiao Tong. Whether it is down or up, Wang Yanhe's only idea now is to take Xiao Tong away and put the hat of Taiyuan Mansion Yin on his own head.

"Lord Wang is right," Xiao Tong hesitated, "But this matter has to be considered in the long run, and the government will consider it again......

--- ask for a collection......
