Chapter 13: The Trap

Ma Sheng woke up slowly, and saw that Yan Heng seemed to have seen an evil ghost, and he was terrified to the extreme, and roared as if he was in horror, and then he was about to crawl out of the hall with his hands and feet.

He took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Ma Sheng's back collar, pulled the person back and shoved him in, and shouted viciously: "Be honest! ”

Ma Sheng turned around and faced Yan Heng's eyes, there was a smile in those eyes, but Ma Sheng understood that this smile was not kindness, but Yan Heng's contempt for his careful thoughts.

He naturally knew what kind of fate he would have if these letterheads fell into Yan Heng's hands, but now if he was weak, he would die faster!

Thinking of this, he slowly suppressed his fear, tidied up the placket that was messed up by He Sui, and then wiped the wine from his face with his sleeve, and sneered: "Although the governor of Yan Du is in a high position, he has no right to deal with the lower officials who are also officials of the imperial court!" ”

"The governor only relied on a few fabricated letterheads to frame the lower officials, but the lower officials were not convinced! The lower official doesn't admit it! The more he spoke, the more impassioned he became, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "I want to go to Beijing to meet the saint, and I want to cry out for injustice!" ”

Yan Heng laughed after hearing this: "Are you sure you want to go to Beijing?" ”

Ma Sheng looked at Yan Heng's smile, he didn't have the courage to answer this question immediately, he swallowed his saliva, and the hand in his sleeve opened and clenched, and repeated it several times before he said strongly: "Naturally! ”

"The lower officials will definitely report what happened here to the emperor truthfully!"

Yan Heng nodded, looking very satisfied: "This is great, it saves a lot of trouble for the governor of Pontus." As he spoke, he stood up, walked up to Ma Sheng, leaned over slightly, and whispered, "However, Pontus has one more word to say." ”

"Say goodbye to your parents and wife before leaving, Governor Pontus thinks you may not be able to come back to Beijing this time."

Yan Heng's tone was not heavy, even gentle, but Ma Sheng still felt that there was a cold aura coming out of his heart and spreading all over his body.

He swallowed his saliva again, but his throat seemed to be choked, and it was extremely difficult to swallow, and then he shivered uncontrollably, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled.

"Governor, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Heng stood up straight and said with a smile: "What you are planning has been revealed in your hands, even if the emperor does not punish you when you enter Beijing, how can the people behind you stay alive." ”

Ma Sheng hurriedly said: "The lower officials are not plotting anything, everything is the governor thinking too much!" ”

"Yes, I believe this, and the emperor may be able to believe it." Yan Heng nodded and said, "But will the people behind you believe it?" ”

At this time, Ma Sheng was completely panicked.

Just now, Yan Heng was in trouble, and he could still refute one or two, but only now did he realize that every way he lived had been blocked!

"I... I'm not going to Beijing anymore, I'm not going.... Ma Sheng figured this out and simply played a scoundrel.

Without waiting for Yan Heng to say anything, He Suixian couldn't hold back and laughed sneeringly: "Don't go to Beijing? Then you won't survive today. ”

Seeing that Ma Shengshang was confused and didn't understand, He Sui smiled and pointed to the people inside and outside the hall: "What do you think we are here for?" Is it really lunch? ”

"Since you took that errand, there have been many more pairs of eyes staring at you inside and outside this house! If they know you're wrong, they'll send you down to Hades! ”

"We're here to save your dog's life, and you don't know how to bark!"

Ma Sheng thought of something, his face was like ashes for a while, and the bones around him seemed to be pulled away in an instant, and he fell to the ground without support.

Yan Heng glanced back at it, and said as he walked out, "Ready to go!" ”

He Sui responded with a smile.

The team left the city and headed straight for Kyoto.

He followed the horse to catch up with Yan Heng, and said with admiration in his eyes: "How did the governor know that there was a letterhead hidden in Ma Sheng's study?" ”

Yan Heng said: "There is a missing link. ”

"Huh?" He Sui was stunned for a moment, and said incomprehensibly: "What is missing a link?" ”

Yan Heng turned his head to look at him and said, "Since Ma Sheng stopped us, this matter has been full of strangeness, but it is unpredictable to understand what is wrong. ”

"If those mountain bandits don't disappear, maybe my attention will still be on the matter of suppressing the bandits, and even if I investigate, I will at most find out why Ma Sheng didn't report it."

"Do you remember what Ma Sheng said when he saw me?"

He Sui was asked, twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, and said, "I just remember that he shouted at you for help." ”

Yan Heng turned his head to look ahead, his gaze gradually became cold: "He said that this is the only official road back to Beijing except for the waterway!" ”

"He is a little county magistrate, how can he know that I will make a detour to Jizhou?"

After Yan Heng dialed it so little, He Sui immediately understood!

The matter of bandits was first heard by the Ministry of War, and then reported to the emperor, who listened to Fu Zhong's suggestion before deciding to make Yan Heng a general and go to Raozhou to suppress bandits.

The route from leaving Raozhou to returning to Beijing was told to Yan Heng by the autumn equinox, not by the Ministry of War.

This also shows that the formulation of this route is from the hands of the emperor.

And did Fu Zhong, who first proposed to the emperor to send a general to intimidate the states, participate in planning the route again?

Combined with the letterhead found in Ma Sheng's study, the answer is yes!

Therefore, since Yan Heng left Beijing, he has already entered Fu Zhong's trap!

If he hadn't noticed this, then Yan Heng..., He Sui didn't dare to think about it, gritted his teeth in annoyance, and scolded: "It's really a damn old fox." ”

Yan Heng didn't have any superfluous expressions on his face, but he thought of those disappeared mountain bandits again.

I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet the master who gave them advice in my lifetime!

In the guest room of the Juyi Hall here, Yu Qingqing, who had been asleep for two days, finally opened her eyes.

Before she could see where she was, she heard someone beside the bed say happily: "Go and inform the big boss, the person is awake!" ”

She looked in the direction of the voice, and vaguely saw a few people dancing, and she didn't care about the pain around her, she licked the corners of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Water... Please give me a glass of water. ”

"Yes, there is water!" Immediately someone poured warm water and sat down on the edge of the couch, and just as he was about to help Yu Qingqing sit up, he heard her snort, and immediately suffered a fatal blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The man was frightened and threw away Yu Qingqing with a scream.

Yu Qingqing fell back, her back hit the hard couch, she suddenly felt that the bones around her body were broken, and the fine pain that squeezed every inch of flesh and bones hit, and she couldn't even take a breath for a while.

After a few suffocating breaths, she coughed violently, and blood kept flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"What's wrong with this? Wasn't it okay just now? ”

"Look not very good, let's go get a doctor!"

"The big boss said that no one is allowed to go down the mountain these days, how can I ask for a doctor!"

Chang Zhixuan was overjoyed when he heard that Yu Qingqing had finally woken up, but when he walked outside the guest room, he heard Yu Qingqing's heart-rending cough and the frightened conversations of several sisters-in-law.

Seeing Yu Qingqing's dying-facing appearance on the bed, his mind went blank for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said, "Go... Hurry up and find Master Mou, and let him get a doctor to go up the mountain immediately! ”

Several women were so frightened that their souls were gone, and when they heard this, they hurriedly responded, and ran away in an instant.

Chang Zhixuan took a deep breath, walked to the couch, and carefully whispered, "Jade girl..." ”

Yu Qingqing finally stopped coughing, she eased up for a while before she felt that the pain in her chest that did not leave her the slightest breath was slightly relieved, her eyes looked at Chang Zhixuan weakly, and hissed and said in a difficult voice: "I... I'm a... What's wrong? ”

She can't die yet!

She still has so much to do!

Chang Zhixuan was choked by the question.

She has been in a coma since she vomited blood on the mountain, and because of the restriction of freedom, he could only temporarily ask the half-hung doctor in the cottage to check her pulse, and after checking the pulse, he said that it was fine, but she was too tired, and she would be fine for a few days of recuperation.
