Chapter 196: Search the whole house
Because of the arrival of the forbidden army, this riot was soon suppressed.
Except for the two men in black who were jawed off by Han Lingxian in time, the others either died under the sword or died in the poison in their own teeth.
Because of the importance involved at this time, although Chen Jiannan brought the forbidden army over, he never said to the outside world that something had happened.
The emperor did not return to the palace at this time, but sat on the chair in the ink garden, coldly looking at the group of people kneeling below.
"Who's going to explain to me what the hell is going on?"
The Emperor was obviously angry, and after asking sharply, he coughed incessantly.
Duanmu Zhu also knelt below, and when he heard the emperor's cough, he hurriedly said softly: "Your Majesty, no matter what, please take care of the dragon body, otherwise, the concubine will be to blame for her death." ”
At this moment, the emperor seemed to notice Duanmu Zhu, who was kneeling below, and waved his hand: "You get up!" This has nothing to do with you. ”
When Duanmu Cang heard this, he almost burst out, this matter was clearly directed by Duanmu Zhu, but the emperor trusted her so much.
Han Lingxi and Duanmu He knelt next to him, seeing that he was about to move, and quickly pressed him down: "Don't move yet, see how the situation develops." ”
"The concubine doesn't dare, it's the fault of the Marquis of Yongding at this time, the concubine is the daughter of the Marquis of Yongding, and the blood of the Duanmu family is also flowing on her body."
Duanmu Zhu said while crying, his words and expressions were full of self-blame.
Seeing that the emperor's heart softened for a while: "Zhu'er, I am now the only one by my side." ”
When Duanmu heard this, he burst into tears again.
The Emperor stretched out his uninjured hand: "Come to me." ”
Only then did Duanmu Zhu kneel down to the emperor's side.
"Your Majesty, this matter is really strange tonight, please Your Majesty to find out."
The emperor glanced coldly at Duanmu Jun, who was talking, and then turned his gaze to Duanmu Cang: "Can you tell me, why are you no longer in Luoyang Pass tonight, but in Tianjing?" ”
Duanmu Cang hurriedly kowtowed: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister was originally in Luoyang Pass, but a few days ago, he suddenly received the news, saying that Concubine Yi Gui Niangniang used the name of the provincial relatives to bully her father at home.
I hurried back. ”
"Brother Cang'er, who is talking nonsense from you, I am the daughter of the Duanmu family, it's too late to defend my mother's family, how can I bully my brother?"
"As Concubine Ai said, this reason doesn't make sense, and you, as a general, returned to Beijing without a summons, do you know what the crime is?"
Duanmu Cang is all good, but he is anxious, but at this time, he didn't think about the need to calm down at this time, but faced the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, and what the minister saw when he returned to the house is indeed the case, the concubine Niangniang is very dissatisfied with the Yongding Marquis Mansion for some reason, and she doesn't care about the family and asks everyone to eat outside in the open air."
Hearing this, Duanmu Zhu was sad again, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Your Majesty Mingjian."
Today, the concubine suddenly remembered her deceased father and brother, and was moved by their personal toil for the safety of the country, so she proposed that everyone eat out together.
It is also to warn the younger generations not to forget the hardships of their father and brother back then, and at the same time, not to forget their father's loyalty to Xiqi.
I hope that we can always be loyal to His Majesty and strengthen this loyalty. ”
This is a good saying, and the emperor relented immediately, but seeing so many people.
Then he turned his head again and asked Duanmu Jun: "Is that so?" ”
Duanmu Junyi gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang really meant this, but Brother Cang'er just arrived, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't understand Niangniang's painstaking efforts, so he misunderstood." ”
"It's not just about this one thing, it's about ......"
"Big brother!" Duanmu Cang was about to speak, but was stopped by Duanmu He, "After Niangniang returned home, she has been teaching us all the time, and she is not as oppressive as you said.
Big brother, think about who delivered this news to you? ”
Duanmu He's words stopped Duanmu Cang, and at the same time made the others ponder, who led Duanmu Cang here, and who made this Yongding Marquis Mansion fall into this situation at this moment?
But Duanmu Cang didn't think so at this time, he only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart.
At this time, I watched my family being bullied, and I couldn't do anything about it.
I also want my father and younger brother to compromise.
And the righteousness in his heart made him refuse to say anything, the person who secretly passed the message to him.
He knew that if he had spoken out, that man would surely die.
"Since you said someone sent you a message, who is that person? I passed him up, and I found out when I asked. ”
Both Duanmu Jun and Duanmu He looked at Duanmu Cang, hoping to be able to say a name in his mouth.
But he didn't say anything, just looked at the ground steadily.
"Your Majesty, the concubine believes that Brother Cang'er is also impulsive, but this group of people ......"
As he spoke, he looked at the man in black who was alive or dead.
The emperor was shocked, how could he forget this, there are still people in black here.
"Interrogate me, where did they come from?"
The dentures in the mouths of the two black-clothed men had been removed, and Chen Jiannan stepped forward and shouted angrily: "What are you guys from?" Why did you assassinate Your Majesty? ”
"Hehe, didn't we say that? This dog emperor should have been pulled down a long time ago, he is not worthy. ”
As soon as he heard that this was not a good word, Chen Jiannan immediately threw him two mouths.
"What? Don't let people say it yet? The man in black sneered, "General Duanmu sacrificed his life for the country, but how did you repay it?!" Why should such a loyal and treacherous emperor make us loyal. ”
"Your Majesty, these people are not my soldiers!" In this matter, Duanmu Cang did not make a mistake.
Since he came back from Luoyang Pass, it was indeed something he had committed, but he would not have done it if he assassinated the emperor and gave him ten more guts.
"Brother Cang'er, why are you so confused, if it weren't for His Majesty's grace over the years, where would our Yongding Marquis Mansion have today's status and fame?
Why are you so greedy?! ”
Duanmu Zhu didn't wait for the emperor to speak, so he cried and reprimanded Duanmu Cang first.
made him depressed for a while: "You shut up for me!" ”
"Shut up!" Duanmu Jun was afraid of this son's bloody nature regardless of the occasion, so he hurriedly scolded.
Fortunately, the emperor did not get angry because of this, but turned to Han Lingxi: "Jun Hao, when you fought with those people in black, you said that these people didn't look like they were from the barracks?" ”
Han Ling nodded, revealing his very few serious looks in front of the emperor.
"The martial arts paths of these people are all inherited from the same line, and they are not like the martial arts paths of Xiqi, if Fei is a bit similar......"
"How?"
"Feiyuan, what do you see?" Han Lingxi did not answer the emperor's question, but turned to Duanmuhe.
I was stunned by his question, but I saw that there was no joke in his eyes.
Duanmu He calmed down, thought about it carefully, and said, "It seems to be a distant country!" ”
"Far Country?!" When the emperor heard this, he immediately said angrily, "This little dead country still dares to jump." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that all people from afar will carve a hibiscus flower on their bodies, as a totem, and Your Majesty will let people check one or two to know the authenticity."
Han Lingyan's voice was not in a hurry, but it made the two undead black-clothed men over there nervous.
Hibiscus is the national flower of the Far Country, and it is especially valued in the Far Country.
Even as a totem of a country and a nation, this is something that many people know.
Chen Jiannan immediately asked people to step forward, casually opened the clothes of a corpse, and sure enough, he found that he smelled a small hibiscus flower on his waist.
The emperor's face suddenly became very ugly at this moment.
Duanmu Zhu obviously seemed to be frightened, and looked at Duanmu Cang directly: "Cang...... Brother Cang'er, you ...... How could you...... How can it have something to do with distant countries?! ”
When Duanmu Cang heard this, he almost vomited blood in anger, and said angrily: "You have something to do with Yuanguo!"
My relationship with the distant country is that my grandfather and my uncle led the troops to destroy the distant country, and this is the relationship! ”
Hearing him say this, Duanmu Zhu seemed to be relieved, and stroked his chest: "That's good, no matter who colludes with Yuanguo, our family will definitely not collude with Yuanguo." ”
But it was this sentence that made the emperor's eyes shine.
There are clouds in soldiers, the so-called, soldiers, treacherous! Fiction is real, reality is virtual.
The emperor was considered to have ascended to the throne in the midst of war, and he had a tangible experience of war.
Naturally, such a sentence came to mind.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed and swept over Chen Jiannan's face.
Immediately understanding, Chen Jiannan stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the stakes are very important at this time, although the Yongding Marquis Mansion has a great enemy relationship with Yuanguo.
But for the sake of the country's safety, the minister suggested that it is better to check it out. ”
The emperor seemed to have a somewhat embarrassed expression, but in the end, he nodded and said, "Check!" ”
Chen Jiannan immediately replied yes, and then dispatched troops to various places in the Yongding Marquis Mansion to investigate.
Everyone accompanied the emperor in the ink garden and waited for news.
After about half an hour, each team came back one after another.
After summarizing everyone's news, Chen Jiannan came over to the emperor.
The emperor looked at him, the anger on his face had faded a lot, and he looked relatively calm: "What is the result?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Jiannan's face couldn't see anything, and he looked very frank.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Yongding Marquis Mansion, a total of 17 courtyards, the ministers have ordered people to search carefully, and nothing related to the distant country has been found."
"Hmm!" After this sound, there was no follow-up, and no one knew what was going on in the heart of the person sitting on it at the moment.
"Your Majesty!" Duanmu Zhu cautiously spoke, "The concubine believes that the Marquis of Yongding Mansion will not have anything to do with the distant country. ”
The Emperor looked at her, and then glanced at the man who was still kneeling on the ground.
He said lightly: "There is still one place that has not been checked!" ”
