Mrs. Wen had already lost her breath, and the wounds on her body were horrible, and at a cursory glance, she was hit by more than ten knives, and several of them hit the vital point. Wen Ying took off her robe and covered Mrs. Wen's body.

"She loves beauty the most in her life, so she shouldn't want others to see her like this."

Cang Xuelan lowered her head and said, "Mrs. Wen is a heroine among women. ”

Wen Ying stood up, and there was a heart-piercing pain in her calf, "Daddy is in the carriage, he didn't see me safe and sound, and he will definitely not be willing to die." ”

Cang Xuelan wanted to help Wen Ying, but Wen Ying avoided his support, and limped to the side of the carriage, Cang Xuelan sighed secretly and followed her into the carriage.

Wen Zhaochu still breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was unwilling, and was reluctant to close his eyes.

Seeing Wen Ying coming, he relieved his heart, and looked at Cang Xuelan again, his eyes were red, and his muscles were bursting up, as if he wanted to say something, but because he was already a dying person, he couldn't say a word more.

Cang Xuelan grabbed Wen Zhao's hand and said seriously: "Wen Shibo, don't worry, as long as I, Cang Xuelan, still have a breath of air, I will never let Wen Ying suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Wen Zhaoxi quieted down at this time, and he looked at Wen Ying for the last time, his gaze soft as water.

Wen Ying's tears never stopped, and when she saw Wen Zhaochu looking at her, she forced a light smile, "Daddy, my daughter has never blamed you, you are the most noble person in the world today, my daughter is proud of you, and in the future, I will not insult your reputation." ”

Wen Zhaochu nodded lightly at Wen Ying, his gaze gradually losing its brilliance.

Wen Ying couldn't hold back any longer, and cried bitterly on Wen Zhao's corpse.

In less than a stick of incense, she has changed from an official lady with a first-class official to an orphan girl with no father and no mother.

In order not to desecrate the bodies of Wen Zhaochu and his wife, Cang Xuelan immediately sent people to Ningzhou City, bought two coffins, and notified the governor Lord Chen, and the others were stationed here to check the identity of the black-clothed assassin.

Wen Ying sat next to the fallen carriage, her tears had run out, her face was blank, and she didn't react to everything around her.

Cang Xuelan took off his cloak and draped it on Wen Ying's body, he took out a bottle of gold sore medicine from his arms, picked up Wen Ying's injured calf, lifted the bloodstained shirt, and gently sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound.

This medicine is very effective in stopping bleeding, but it hurts a little to use, Wen Ying snorted, and wanted to take her leg back.

Cang Xuelan grabbed her calf and comforted: "Bear with me, this injury must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to fall into the root of the disease, fortunately, their flying knives are not poisonous, you can rest assured, there are the best doctors in my army, and you will definitely not be able to leave a scar." ”

Wen Ying hugged the cloak on her body and did not speak.

“…… I'm sorry. Cang Xuelan felt extremely guilty, "It's me who came too late." ”

After receiving the letter, Cang Xuelan finished arranging the affairs in the army, and immediately led a team of people to Ningzhou City quickly, eating and sleeping in the open along the way, and did not dare to delay at all. But they didn't expect that when they came, they didn't clean up the eyeliner under the cloth of the man in black, which made them take the opportunity to send a signal and report the news, resulting in the unfortunate death of Lord Wen and his wife.

Wen Ying shook her head.

"Do you know who these people are? Uncle Wen is a high-ranking member of the imperial court, who would dare to assassinate him at the risk of raiding his house and cutting off his head? ”

“…… I heard my father say that the one who took the lead was called Lu Boyan. ”

"Lu Boyan?" Cang Xuelan's eyes flashed, "Lu Boyan, the great disciple of the Tang Sect of the No. 1 sect in the rivers and lakes? ”

"It seems to be such a person." Wen Ying didn't speak for a long time, and her throat was a little dry when she opened her mouth.

Cang Xuelan bandaged her and removed the kettle from her horse, "Drink some water and moisten your throat." ”

Wen Ying took the kettle, took a sip, and asked, "What grievances does this Lu Boyan have with my Wen family?" ”

"Lu Boyan is known as the star picker, his martial arts are extremely high, he is proficient in hidden weapons and light skills, and he accidentally let him run away just now, it's a pity!"

"The Tang Sect is a decent family, how could they do such an unkind and unrighteous thing?"

Cang Xuelan paused for a moment and asked, "Uncle Wen has been in Xuzhou for half a year, what is he doing?" ”

Wen Ying shook her head, "I don't know, my father rarely talks about political affairs in front of me, I only hear what Lu Boyan is asking for." ”

"Where is the ledger now?"

"I don't know."

Tangmen is located in Xuzhou, which is the place where Wen Zhaochu took office, but the rivers and lakes and the imperial court have always been old and dead, as long as there is nothing too excessive, both parties are well water and do not violate the river water, why did Tangmen want to kill the killer, and the killing is still a product of the master.

Unless...... The crimes committed by these people are even more serious than the assassination of a first-class official, because Wen Zhaochu has the evidence of their crimes, so these people have to take risks, kill people, and destroy evidence.

But what about this ledger?

Cang Xuelan wanted to ask again, but Wen Ying was already at the end of her power, and he couldn't bear to force her to think about these things again.

Several soldiers couldn't help but look at Wen Ying while searching the body of the man in black. They are stationed in the barracks all day long, and they rarely come out except for battles, and they hardly see women, let alone a beautiful woman like Wen Ying, so they can't move their eyes.

Cang Xuelan's cold face turned cold, and she said sharply: "Zhou Han! Liu Neng! Wang Xinkun! Forty sticks, go back and receive the punishment yourself! ”

Only then did the three of them move their gaze from Wen Ying's face to Cang Xuelan's face, only to see their general furious, looking like he was going to eat them alive.

The three did not dare to reply and received the punishment.

"Wei Rong!" Cang Xuelan shouted loudly.

A handsome-looking man walked out, and he knew that this person was not an ordinary soldier by looking at his clothes, and he hugged his fists and said, "What does the general command?" ”

"Put a screen over here."

"Yes."

How could it be possible to really find a screen in the wilderness here, but fortunately, the carriage was shattered, and a few wooden planks could be found from it, Wei Rong put the planks together and blocked Wen Ying.

Cang Xuelan warned everyone: "Brothers, I know that you have no bad intentions, but Miss Wen's status is noble, and Lord Wen is a generation of loyalty, if any of you surprise her, this general will definitely punish her severely!" Do you get it? ”

"Yes!"

After shocking his subordinates, Cang Xuelan said again: "Wei Rong." ”

"General."

"What's suspicious?"

"These people are all small minions, and they don't have any marks on their bodies, so it's not easy to find out who is behind them, but there is one person with a strange thing on him." Wei Rong presented a bronze token with both hands, "This is the token of the Xuzhou Prefecture Yamen, with this thing, he can come and go freely in the Prefecture Yamen." ”

"It's rare."

"Those who have the ability to give this token, except for Lord Zhoushou in Xuzhou, I'm afraid there is no second person."

Cang Xuelan took the token in her hand and looked at it, it was indeed genuine. Xuzhou is not clean, Cang Xuelan has always heard of this, but after all, Xuzhou is not under his jurisdiction, and he has no real evidence, so he has been pressing it and ignoring it.

In the middle of the year, the emperor sent Wen Zhaoshu to Xuzhou to do a state trial, although he was not removed from his official position, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a demotion to the official, Cang Xuelan also sent a letter to express comfort, Wen Zhaoshu naturally did not reply to him, with the relationship between the two of them at that time, this is not surprising.

Now it seems that this obvious derogation is actually just a pretense, and the real purpose of the emperor should be to let Lord Wen investigate the dirty things in Xuzhou.

Now that Lord Wen's entire family has been wiped out, it is enough to see that the disaster buried in that place in Xuzhou is much bigger than he imagined.

While Cang Xuelan was meditating, a sedan chair stopped in front of them, and out of it came a middle-aged man wearing a dark coat and a mantle, and he saw the Wen family and his wife lying on the ground, like a lightning strike.

"Brother Wen!" The man took two steps forward, knelt down on his knees, and tears hung in his eyes.

"This is Lord Qi Huan Qi, the governor of Changzhou." The soldier whispered in Cang Xuelan's ear, "On the way to Lord Chen's mansion, I met the head catcher in Changzhou, so I thought that this matter was so big, why did I have to inform the state guard, so I told the head catcher about it, and the head catcher immediately reported it, and Lord Qi came with me first, and I didn't even wear my clothes." ”

Cang Xuelan looked at Qi Huan, who was crying, and sure enough, she was only wearing an undershirt and boots, as if she had just woken up from a dream. Cang Xuelan quietly put away the token.

"Lord Qi, please mourn."

"General Cang, how could this happen? Who are these thieves? How daring! ”

"I don't know much about this, there is a person with strong martial arts in it, I couldn't catch it, let him run away, it's a pity."

Lord Qi wiped his tears and stood up with the support of the servants, "I heard that Lord Wen also has a daughter, I don't know if it's also bad." ”

"Miss Wen is fine, but she was a little frightened."

"Oh, that's good, that's good," Master Qi smiled, "Miss Wen will ...... from now on." I have a doctor in my house, and my wife is a safe person, why don't you send Miss Wen to my house first? ”

This Lord Qi is a little too anxious.

Cang Xuelan showed a polite smile, "Miss Wen just lost her parents, and I don't want to put her in a strange place. ”

"That's not as good as ......"

Cang Xuelan turned around and asked her subordinates, "What about Lord Chen?" Why hasn't he arrived yet, are you sure you've got the word to him? ”

"My subordinates sent someone to Lord Chen's mansion to report the news, and I came over with Lord Qi first, calculate the time, and Lord Chen should arrive immediately."

As soon as the words fell, another sedan chair stopped in front of the road, and the governor Chen Ling Chen was wearing an official uniform with a blue face. He came to the corpse of Wen Zhaochu and his wife and bowed solemnly.

Master Qi sighed: "Brother Wen can be described as a generation of loyalty, it's a pity. ”

Governor Chen glanced at Lord Qi meaninglessly, turned to Cang Xuelan and said, "How could General Cang appear here?" ”

"Five days ago, I received a letter from Lord Wen, which said that his life was on the verge and that I hoped I could help, so I immediately rode my horse and rushed over, but unfortunately I was still a step late and did not save Lord Wen and Mrs. Wen."

"You should be stationed on the frontier at this time, and now you can be considered to have left your post without permission."

"Lord Chen is too harsh, and this General Cang is also here to save Lord Wen."

Cang Xuelan said with a smile: "I have already deployed everything when I came, as for the responsibility of leaving my post without permission, I will not shirk, if the emperor wants to punish him, I have no complaints, Lord Wen and my father are close friends, in order to save Lord Wen, it is to let me go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and I will never give up." ”

"In this way, I will report this matter to the emperor truthfully, and I hope General Cang will not mind."

"Please."

Lord Chen nodded, and then asked, "What else did General Cang find?" ”

"Not for the time being, investigating cases is indeed not my specialty, Lord Chen is here, and I am relieved."

Lord Chen rolled up his sleeves, put a piece of white cloth on Mrs. Wen's hand, raised Mrs. Wen's wrist through the white cloth, carefully looked at the scars on her arm, and used a silver needle to test the blood stains on Lord Wen's chest, he shook his head and sighed: "The one who did it must be the masters of the rivers and lakes, I want to know if these people have left flaws, and they must be autopsied." ”

"This ......" Cang Xuelan hesitated, he was a general, he was used to seeing corpses, and he also understood that this kind of big case was handed over to the government, and it was necessary to pass the autopsy, but people die greatly, and Wen Ying may not want his parents to be disemboweled.

"Let's test it."

Cang Xuelan turned around and saw Wen Ying wearing a cloak and walking from behind, her eyes were red and swollen, her voice was slightly hoarse, and her figure was like a weak willow supporting the wind, which was beautiful.
