Chapter Twenty-Eight: Awakening
I have vaguely heard of Yuwen Baiyi's kung fu, and there are many people, but because of this inexplicable thing, the invincible people who saw her with their own eyes stretched out their hands were these frightened Datong people at the scene. The horses barked and galloped wildly, with astonishing speed and strength, and the white clothes approached again and again, flying and following closely.
Mo Chang and Hou Cong rode on a horse almost at the same time, chased after them, trying to block the crazy horse's movement and help Bai Yi, but it backfired, and the car under them was frightened instead, not daring to move forward, looking up to the sky and neighing.
The part where the carriage was connected to the wheel finally broke, and with the exclamations of the onlookers, the carriage was undoubtedly thrown against the highest wall of the Guanhua Tower, and it was shattered.
But that pink-purple shadow appeared at the most astonishing moment at a speed she never dreamed of: she hooked her feet to the car and grabbed the wheels with both hands.
Hou Cong and Mo Chang's hearts stopped beating at that moment. - Yuwen Baiyi did it, but she will definitely die.
In the case of horses and carriages, they will be torn along with the white garments.
Another figure appeared in despair - Yuwen Changkong passed from his father's side, and like lightning traveled a long distance that no one would try, almost in an instant he reached his beloved sister, also hooking the carriage with his feet and pulling the wheels with both hands.
Everything seems to have slowed down. The horses, the chariots, the brother and sister, the gorgeous carriages, drew rainbow-like curves in the air, and they did not separate, but landed steadily. Hou Cong, jumped up from his horse, ran towards him regardless of life or death, grabbed the reins of the two horses with the strength of his whole body, followed Hou Chong's personal soldiers and masters, and had already separated all the idle people, surrounded them, and went to check the situation of Deputy Chief He.
Hou Cong didn't know if he was dead or alive, he happened to face the pretty face of the white clothes, and saw her smile at himself.
"Great." He thought. "The white clothes are alive."
Hou Chong personally sent someone to escort Deputy Chief He back to his home, and the emperor immediately sent an imperial doctor to take care of the follow-up affairs. Hou Cong was so busy that he ordered people to collect horses, carriages, etc., and to check them well, ordered people to interrogate the people around Deputy Chief He in various ways, and ordered the famous doctor to check Changkong and white clothes up and down.
When did Mo Chang, Cuizhu and Lao Chen leave, he didn't bother to ask.
After making sure that a pair of children were fine, Yu Wenxing, who was waiting in the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, stopped shivering and got up to thank Hou Chong and his wife and Hou Cong for their favor.
Hou Chong kept sighing, "Oh, oops, I really can't see that kid in Changkong is so powerful!" At that time, he was far away from the carriage, and even if he was white, he couldn't fly over, how did he do it? And that strength, how is it possible? Isn't his martial arts always up and down? ”
Yuwen Xing was full of satisfaction with his son, and sadness for his daughter who escaped but inevitably died after all, "Changkong, for his sister, he can do anything." ”
In the room that Mrs. Hou personally cleaned up, the Yuwen Gongzi, who "did everything", was lying in the quilt and was coquettish, refusing to drink medicine no matter what. Hou Cong went in with a straight face, snatched the medicine bowl from Qing Song's hand, grabbed the collar on the back of Changkong's neck, and poured it into him.
"Choke me, you want to, I'm the hero of Datong! Choke me, you can afford it! ”
Hou Cong is not very angry with him now, he just wants to tease him, "Don't drink the medicine, right, it doesn't matter if you die yourself, what if you don't set an example for Bai Yi, and she doesn't drink medicine?" ”
Changkong sighed and stretched out his arm sickly, "Okay, let's have another bowl." ”
These words made everyone laugh. Bai Yi nestled in another bed in the same room, with a pale little face, hair scattered, but a heart, extraordinarily calm.
Hou Cong pretended to be okay and paced over, "Laughing so stupidly, I'm afraid I'm stupid to be kicked by a horse, right?" If you leave later in the evening, I'll teach you how to play puppets, and maybe you can exercise your brain and become more clever. ”
"Hmm." She agreed, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart, only to see her look out the window and say, "Three days later, does the eldest prince really want to go to Guanhualou to set up a flowing water seat and show the dragon balls, I want to go too." From the moment they set the table, I wanted to watch. ”
Hou Cong smiled, and heard Changkong say what was in his heart: "White clothes, white clothes, it's really childish, when is this time, it's not good to rest, I think about watching the excitement." ”
Hou Cong looked at Changkong and felt that he was not so annoying. He instructed the following to boil more medicine to calm the mind and refresh the mind, ignoring the long sky and grinning with a burst of yin and yang weirdness: "Okay, I bumped into your arms, isn't it a skill of our eldest son to treat heart disease?" ”
"Indeed," Hou Cong also fell in love with arguing with him, "Qingsong, pass it on, the medicine that Yuwen Monkey eats is highly concentrated, as for Yuwen Baiyi, boil the medicine into the duck soup." The monkey was not allowed to drink. ”
"Hmph, you have the final say? Can my sister not give it to me? Stinky monkeys! ”
"Stinky monkeys are also stronger than dead monkeys!"
"I'd rather die than stink!"
The two almost fought, Yuan came in again, Hou Cong no longer cared about Changkong, and followed his henchmen out.
"Master," Yuan reported close to Hou Cong's ear, "the people around Eunuch He beat and scared, and they didn't ask much except that the coachman went to deliver the box." And those two horses, different from what you thought, I didn't find any silver needles or anything like that, saddles, feed, all looked. None of them. But I think Brother Xing guessed right. ”
Hou Cong nodded, "What did he say?" ”
Yuan approached Hou Cong again, "Brother Xing said, I've heard people say before that a good hand at making a horse doesn't need to borrow any external force, and you can just say a few words to the horse." You can do things with a few touches. Therefore, Mo Chang's groom Lao Chen is the most suspicious. Brother Xing and Ah Zheng have already gone to Changfu. ”
As soon as he said this, Murong Xing hurriedly ran over and arched his hand, "Master, the people of Chengguo have done it, Mo Chang's little servant Cuizhu ate Mo Chang's lunch, was poisoned, foamed at the mouth, and is being rescued." When Ah Zheng and I went, we were just in time for this. Now Ah Zheng has led someone to tie up the cook and the coachman. Waiting for you to come over. ”
Hou Cong sneered, "Mo Chang, it's ruthless enough." "Lift your legs and go.
At this time, he heard a call from Mianmian, and behind him was Bai Yi, "Eldest son, I also want to go and see." ”
Changkong was also standing beside his sister, and it seemed that he was indeed fine.
"Well," Hou Cong nodded, "It's good to go and study." Although it was only a few steps, you were still weak, and Yuan went to arrange two sedan chairs. ”
The group passed through Dongfeng Lane in this way, from Houfu to Changfu. Mo Chang looked anxious, and came out of the cuizhu room that he personally guarded to greet Hou Cong. Hou Cong didn't say a word to him at all, and went straight to the scene where the suspect was being held.
The Chang family itself is a general of the Great Pillar Kingdom, and the cells and torture instruments at home are ready-made. Not only the cook, the coachman, but even the cook's good friend Liu Laosan had already hung there and was tossed by Duguzheng.
Qingsong packed up a clean chair and let Hou Cong sit down, but Changkong and Baiyi saw this world for the first time, seeing the three people with open skin, smelling blood, and different from the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, but they wanted to see what Hou Cong would do, so they stood silently behind his chair.
Hou Cong did not speak. The air in the cell seemed to freeze. After a while, even the people who were supposed to be tried panicked, and the scripts they had thought of dealing with the interrogation were useless.
Hou Cong sat for a while and then got up, walked out of the cell, and personally instructed Dugu Zheng: "Solve it." ”
"What do you mean?" Changkong asked.
Hou Cong actually had a tired look on his face. He didn't want to explain, but when he saw Bai Yi's curious gaze, he opened his mouth patiently, "Did you find anything?" ”
Murong walked close and explained, "The poison is in the kitchen lady's room, and I also went to the black market where the medicine was dispensed and verified, and she bought it." ”
Hou Cong laughed self-deprecatingly, "I lost this game." ”
Changkong was so anxious that he wanted to jump to his feet, "I just lost, and I was suffocated by you!" ”
Hou Cong walked towards the room where the servant lived, and slowly explained: "The cook, the coachman, and Cuizhu were all personally checked by me a year ago. As a result, now, the human and material evidence are all there, and it is obvious that he was bought by Cheng Guozuo to kill Mo Chang, but I saw that something was wrong. This is one of them; The second point, so far, I definitely can't ask anything, Cheng Guo has a lot of skills, these three idiots, I guess I haven't even seen them with a straight face, can you help us find them? The third point is the most heart-wrenching, this is Mo Chang's serial plan. ”
"Mo Chang? What does it have to do with him? "The sky is even more confused.
Hou Cong stopped, not interested in teasing anyone, "On the surface, it seems that Cheng Guo carefully bribed the people who served Mo Chang close to him to poison Mo Chang. The people who were bought also took the opportunity to make waves and make a lot of money with the Dragon Balls. However, with a cook, a coachman, and a bastard, can you come up with this plan? Even if the plan was thought up by Cheng Guo and they just carried it out, then they would definitely threaten Mo Chang and use Mo Chang as a gunman. Mo Chang is protected by us, why didn't he tell us when he was bound? Why did Lele take you with you to steal the Dragon Balls? ”
Sky seemed to understand a little, "That is, the whole thing is the other way around?" Mo Chang found out that the cook and the coachman were bought by Cheng Guo's fine work, and used them to muddy the waters in the Dragon Ball incident to attract the attention of the investigation, and then let their targets expose themselves and kill them, and since then there is no proof of death, he is still a victim and a little white rabbit? ”
Hou Cong had already walked to the door of the wing, "Yes, I'm afraid those three won't understand this at all." So what else to ask, just kill it. ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"Work for Mo Chang."
"Huh?"
"Because no matter what, the Chengguo meticulous work that buys cooks and coachmen does exist, so you have to check it!"
Hou Cong didn't say anything more, but walked a few quick steps into the room. Mo Chang is wiping away tears - Cuizhu hasn't woken up yet.
Hou Cong looked at him with a straight face: "I announce that in view of the danger that His Highness is in danger, the security measures in the palace have been strengthened. Let's live in the sky from now on. And a few of us will continue to investigate, please rest assured that Your Highness will definitely be able to dig out the details of Chengguo's attempt to kill His Highness. ”
