Seeing this, Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng hurriedly swept in front of the person Yang Jie had defeated earlier, and saw that the person's mouth was directly tied with a strip of cloth by Yang Jie, and he could neither bite his tongue nor bite the poison, and the person was still unconscious, so the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhao, Lord Zhao are all right?" Gonggong Deng was so frightened that he stammered, looked up and looked ahead, but saw Yang Jie checking the life and death of the man and woman, and Zhao Ruxi walked down from the carriage with Lu Yun's support.

Seeing Zhao Ruxi's appearance clearly, Gonggong Deng's heart sank. The hearts of Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng, who looked up at this side, also shrank sharply.

I saw that Zhao Ruxi's left arm had been wrapped with a strip of cloth, and it could be seen from the blood stains oozing out of the strip of cloth that she was not lightly injured.

Yang Song had also gotten off the carriage in front of him, walked to Zhao Ruxi's side and kept begging: "Girl, girl, let's go to the hospital first." ”

Zhao Ruxi ignored him, but asked Yang Jie: "How is it?" Is there still gas? ”

Yang Jie shook his head: "It's all dead." ”

Lu Yun said in annoyance: "It's all my fault, it's too heavy." ”

"None alive?" Zhao Ruxi asked again.

Yang Jie seemed to remember the person he had just knocked out, and turned his head to look in the direction of Zhang Tao and them.

Zhang Tao said: "There is still a living mouth, which was directly knocked out and tied up by Yang Jie." We'll interrogate you. ”

Zhao Ruxi looked at Gonggong Deng.

Gonggong Deng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the princess, the slave will report to the emperor, find out about this matter, and give the princess a handover." ”

He knew that the battle between several princes for the heir was very fierce, and the previous problems with grain and grass at the border were related to these struggles, and it was for this reason that King Qi and Mr. Deadwood asked the emperor to send imperial guards to protect Zhao Ruxi. But he really didn't expect it to come true so quickly.

The emperor sent him to announce the decree, and Zhang Tao and the others were in place, and these people followed with them, which is simply ignoring the emperor's will, where do you want to put the emperor?

Seeing the burning anger in Gonggong Deng's eyes, Zhao Ruxi's face showed a grateful smile: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

"Princess, go to the doctor, just leave everything here to the old slave." Gonggong Deng said again.

"Yes, girl, go to the infirmary. Although the wound is not deep, who knows if the knife is quenched? In case the poison ...... quenched" Lu Yun began to break his thoughts, his face full of worry and anxiety.

"Then I'll leave it to my father-in-law here." Zhao Ruxi bowed his head to Gonggong Deng, and ordered, "Yang Jie, you are an eyewitness, you take care of it here." ”

"Yes. Rest assured, girl. Yang Jie said, looking at Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng, "Since the two of them were sent by the emperor to protect my girl, the safety of the girl will be handed over to the two of them." ”

As soon as they mentioned this, Zhang Tao and Guo Cheng's faces showed a look of shame.

They were attacked with Yang Jie, and they fought with their opponents for so long, and finally let their opponents die; However, Yang Jie can quickly defeat people and capture enemies alive. The gap between them is too big, right?

As if he knew what they were thinking, Yang Jie waved his hand and said, "My opponent just now was weaker than yours, so I was able to hit it with one blow." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tao and the others felt a little better.

When they were suddenly attacked just now, they directly confronted their opponents, and the opponents were strong, so they had no time to care about anything else, Yang Jie's battle ended quickly, and they really didn't notice whether Yang Jie's opponent was strong or weak.

"Don't worry, this time we will never let the girl be hurt again." Zhang Tao said.

Since they have recognized Zhao Ruxi as the master, Zhao Ruxi is still waiting to be married, so naturally they can't be called princesses, and it is even more inappropriate to call Zhao Daren, so they also followed Yang Jie to call Zhao Ruxi "girl".

After Zhao Ruxi finished explaining the matter, he didn't stay any longer, and got into the carriage again with Lu Yun's support. Yang Song quickly sat down on the wheel, picked up the carriage and drove forward.

Zhang Tao and Xiang Ming hurriedly rode horses to follow.

Gonggong Deng turned his head to Liu Hongyu and said, "Lord Liu, this is your territory. You can't get away with such an attack. Now quickly send someone to surround this place, and the relevant people will be brought to the yamen for interrogation. ”

Liu Hongyu's face was like a mournful woman, and he agreed, and then ordered.

Fortunately, just now Zhao Ruxi planned to invite all the officials and officials of the yamen to eat except for the officials on duty, but now that all the people in the yamen are here, there is no need to go back to transfer people. Everyone was hungry and dragged the corpses, escorted the onlookers for interrogation, and cleaned the streets, and they moved in unison.

The only living mouth, Gonggong Deng, did not dare to let people touch it, but let the four imperial guards he brought carry it, returned to the state office, first took the poison that the person hid in his mouth, searched his body carefully, and then splashed the person with cold water to wake him up, and began to interrogate.

After the man woke up, he didn't say anything, and after being tortured by the guards in various ways, he finally spit out two words: "Prince." ”

When Gonggong Deng heard these two words, his head grew twice.

"Take good care of it and escort it to the capital." He commanded.

As he spoke, he stood up, intending to check on the interrogation of the other two guards.

This incident has a great stake, and he just said that it would be handed over to Liu Hongyu for trial, but he didn't dare to do so at all. Liu Hongyu has no backer on his face and does not stand in line, but who knows what will happen to him in his selfish heart?

So the four guards were divided into two teams, and two of them were the only ones who tried with him; The other two interrogated the crowd and the child.

But he had only taken two steps when he heard a low cry behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw black blood flowing from the corner of the man's mouth and falling to the ground. He hurried over to find out, and found that the man was out of breath.

His face suddenly turned black into the bottom of the pot: "What's the matter?" As he spoke, his gaze wandered back and forth over the faces of the two guards.

"He didn't know where he was hiding poison. Just while we were relaxed, we stuffed it straight into our mouths. The two guards were so annoyed that they were about to cry.

If they are not prepared to let the important prisoner die, the emperor will definitely suspect that they are someone from a certain prince and deliberately let the prisoner die. Although there is no evidence, their suspicion cannot be washed away.

The guards don't want to do it. And they have been ordered to investigate many things in the past, whether it is the secret affairs of the royal family or the princes and ministers, they know a lot. In order to prevent them from speaking out, they could only be sent to the mountains to garrison the imperial tomb.

In this life, they are finished.

Father-in-law Deng was angry and annoyed, but he was helpless. He stared at the two guards for a moment before he turned and walked out.

When they arrived in another room, the imperial guard who interrogated there took the initiative to tell them what they had discovered, and said: "The identities of these people have been checked, and they are all ordinary people passing by in Nanyang, and they have no martial arts. ”

There are not many pedestrians on Noon Street, but it is not impossible. There were a total of three people passing by, an old man selling sugar gourds, and a young couple returning to their parents' home. The other is the shopkeeper who came out of the store to see the excitement.
