Chapter 131: The Scapegoat
"Because your father deceived Auntie, Auntie hates to be deceived... In the future, An'er is not allowed to learn from your father to deceive girls. Su Jiudong pinched the tip of Su Ting'an's nose and understated Su Ting'an's question.
Su Jiudong settled the two children, walked out of the house, called out Lan Menghan with a code, and asked her: "He is in danger today, where have you all gone?" No one found out that he had been attacked! ”
"Recently, there have been a lot of official duties, and Childe has sent almost all the secret guards around him to carry out tasks. That's why there is no one on duty today, so that those wicked people have a chance to take advantage of it. ”
The designer knew that Lan Menghan was sent by Wen Yiheng to secretly guard her, and she couldn't be on duty by Wen Yiheng's side, so she didn't blame Lan Menghan.
Su Jiudong was puzzled: "He is already the prime minister, above 10,000 people, why would anyone want to harm him......"
"Everyone covets the position of prime minister, and it is not easy for the son to sit in the position of prime minister, there are tigers and leopards in front of him, and jackals in the back, and he does not have a day of ease and peace." It was rare for Lan Menghan to talk to Su Jiudong about such a deep issue.
"There is a high level of authority, and there is a long way to go. You've heard both of these words......" Su Jiudong let out a long sigh and said lightly:
"The higher you sit, the heavier the burden on your shoulders. If you want to live an easy life, you can not be the prime minister of Laoshizi and stay in Qishan County to live a peaceful life, isn't it also a way to live? ”
"However, your son-in-law can't let go of the position of prime minister, he is reluctant to be famous, rich and powerful, and even wants to take our family to the capital and get involved in your court disputes......" Su Jiudong's eyes darkened, and he held a sharp light under his eyelashes.
Lan Menghan did not agree with Su Jiudong's opinion, and retorted: "Gongzi was also ordered to be in danger back then, and he had no intention of getting involved in political games. I've been involved in the game, and it's not easy to get out of the game. ”
Lan Menghan's eyes stared firmly in the direction of Wen Yiheng's room, and continued: "Besides, Childe has his own troubles. He can't retreat, and he can't retreat. ”
"As a childe, if he retreats at this time, it will only lead to more assassinations. At that time, he will not be able to protect himself, nor the people he wants to protect. The more Lan Menghan spoke, the more anxious he became, and he seemed to leak his emotions.
Su Jiudong glanced back at Lan Menghan meaningfully, then looked at Wen Yiheng's door, and said lightly: "The person you want to protect...... You know him well... It also seems to be loyal. ”
"Childe has the grace of saving our lives and reshaping us, in exchange for loyalty, we are all willing." After Lan Menghan finished speaking, he hid in the shadows again, not wanting to talk to Su Jiudong anymore.
Su Jiudong thought that Wen Yiheng would wake up after being in a coma for three or five days like the previous poisoning, so he asked Liu Yunniang to prepare one less dinner.
As a result, Wen Yiheng woke up that night, shouted hungry as soon as he woke up, and specified for the first time that he wanted to eat moon cakes filled with bean paste.
Liu Yunniang learned that Wen Yiheng was poisoned and injured on the way to pick up her two children from school, and she felt very guilty, so she responded to Wen Yiheng's needs.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mooncakes at home were all eaten, and Liu Yunniang had to run a few snack stores to buy bean paste mooncakes.
Liu Yunniang took the initiative to cut the moon cakes into small squares according to the way the rich people ate, so that Wen Yiheng could eat.
Su Jiudong was very jealous when he saw that Liu Yunniang was busy in order to let Wen Yiheng eat a mouthful of delicious bean paste mooncakes, so he was dissatisfied: "A-Niang, there are no bean paste mooncakes at home, just find something to eat and feed him, why are you so used to him!" ”
Liu Yunniang glanced back at Su Jiudong and continued to cut moon cakes: "You don't love your husband, aren't you allowed me to hurt your son-in-law?" ”
"When you were a child, you were sick and ate this and that, didn't A-Niang do everything possible to get you to eat?"
Liu Yunniang cut the moon cakes, put them on a plate to send them to Wen Yiheng, and poked Su Jiudong's forehead with her finger before leaving, and said: "Only you are allowed to get used to you, but you are not allowed to be used to Heng Gongzi... You are only allowed to set fires to the governors, and not to light lamps to the people. ”
Su Jiudong stared at the plate in Liu Yunniang's hand, and pretended to be relaxed: "...... Or I'll do it. ”
"You're tsundere. When Heng Gongzi is angry and leaves, I will see who you still show arrogantly. Liu Yunniang blamed Su Jiudong, carefully brought the plate to Su Jiudong's hand, and solemnly instructed: "Later, if you go in, don't quarrel with others!" ”
Su Jiudong let Liu Yunniang count a few words, and put down a witty sentence: "I'm a reasonable person, and I don't quarrel easily." If I had a quarrel, someone else would have provoked it. ”
Su Jiudong entered the house with a plate, lost his relaxed posture in front of Liu Yunniang, and with a beautiful face, he pushed the plate with a small piece of bean paste mooncake in front of Wen Yiheng: "The bean paste mooncake is here, eat it." ”
Su Jiudong's posture was very sufficient, he could say a few words less, and continued to adhere to the principle of his "cold war" against Wen Yiheng.
"Heng just wanted to eat a small bean paste mooncake, but he didn't expect to make it popular, and he had to work for your Su Dong's family to send it in person, Heng almost couldn't afford it."
Wen Yiheng didn't have the chopsticks to poke the moon cake pieces to eat, so he directly twisted a small piece and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly and savoring it.
Su Jiudong was not the one who was willing to suffer, so he immediately stabbed back: "A prime minister of your hall can run to our small mountain village, and you have to drag us into Beijing with you, so that the teacher can move the people." I'm just sending you mooncakes, where can I count as a laborer. ”
"Heh, it's not a labor master when I go to Qishan County to find you......," Wen Yiheng said loudly out of the window: "Those people who have chased me all the way to this place and killed me three or four times are called real labor masters." "Lewen
"Tang has a famous prime minister, Fang Xuanling is resourceful, Du Ruhui is decisive, and the two are both prime ministers, but they can work together and talk about it."
Su Jiudong's words changed and turned to Wen Yiheng: "And you are the prime minister, but many people are not convinced, and they want to put you to death, do you say that you are a failure as the prime minister?" ”
"It's someone else's business to want someone else to kill me, but you blame me for being a failure, this kind of idea is the most stupid." Wen Yiheng rarely scolded Su Jiudong for the word "stupid", and his expression was still faint.
Su Jiudong was not annoyed by Wen Yiheng's scolding, but smiled sideways, wanting to hear him continue.
Wen Yiheng also smiled with Su Jiudong, and said in a relaxed tone: "I have been the prime minister for more than six years now, and every day someone wants to put me to death. ”
"Some people want to kill me, not because I am at fault, but because I have blocked their way further and become a stumbling block for some people, so I have caused the killing."
Wen Yiheng looked into Su Jiudong's eyes, and said calmly and gently: "...... But fortunately, after I came to Qishan County, I was able to find a moment of peace when I was by your side. ”
Wen Yiheng's sudden confession touched Su Jiudong's heart a little.
But this little touch is enough to make Su Jiudong willing to rebuild the old friendship with Wen Yiheng.
Su Jiudong took away the bean paste mooncake that Wen Yiheng had only eaten, closed the door neatly and left, leaving Wen Yiheng, who was hungry, laughing at himself and sighing helplessly.
Su Jiudong still simply repeated the procedure of detoxification for Wen Yiheng every day, sent the boiled decoction every day, and applied the medicine to the wound on time for Wen Yiheng.
In addition, he didn't take the initiative to say a word to Wen Yiheng, and he still refused to talk to him more.
After dealing with the task, Peikai, the secret guard, returned to Wen Yiheng four days after Wen Yiheng was poisoned, only to learn that Wen Yiheng was secretly attacked and poisoned.
After conducting a deep self-examination of Wen Yiheng, Pei Kai and a group of secret guards who have returned to the team joined Lan Menghan's action to capture the killer who attacked Wen Yiheng that day.
The action to arrest the killer was very fast, and within three days, Lan Menghan caught the killer who was hiding in the shadows that day, looking for an opportunity to poison Wen Yiheng with a silver needle.
In dealing with the killers sent by the enemy, the secret guards skillfully used the torture instruments in the Qincha Xingyuan Prison to use the tricks of execution and interrogation. It was only after the dying killer agreed to confess his identity.
Wen Yiheng, under the protection of the secret guards, came to the prison of Qin Cha Xingyuan at night, sat in front of the high platform, and condescendingly looked at the killer who was tortured in front of him, with a grim and cold expression.
Wen Yiheng said indifferently: "It's almost like vomiting." ”
"Back to Gongzi, he said he was... The man sent him. Pei Kai made a "two" gesture in front of Wen Yiheng.
The whole world is not the king's land. Today, the saint is the first person in the world, and the second person is naturally the crown prince Yun Mulin, who is the prince.
Wen Yiheng, who saw the gesture, sneered and said, "If it's really him...... Like his mother, it's all mud that can't hold up the wall. ”
Pei Kai complained: "He can't fight you in the court, so he can only secretly make some indiscriminate pickling methods to attack you." ”
Pei Kai couldn't get used to the prince's tricks of secretly poisoning, and even looked down on the prince, so he complained about the prince very ruthlessly.
Lan Menghan looked at Pei Kai, who was complaining, and then at Wen Yiheng, who tacitly agreed to Pei Kai's complaining about the prince, and stopped talking.
"Lord Chu is going to return to Beijing before the end of the year, and he probably expects you to go back. This time, the man said that he ordered that you must be solved before you leave to return to Beijing. ”
The interrogation revealed that it was a killer sent by the prince, Wen Yiheng suddenly lost the interest in interrogating him in detail, and waved his hand casually: "This kind of little minion doesn't need to stay alive, and he won't be able to be a witness to correct him in the future, you can solve it, clean hands and feet." ”
The moon is high, and Qishan County is very quiet at night.
In the Imperial Palace, a behind-the-scenes killer was secretly killed by the secret guards.
With Su Jiudong's careful care, Wen Yiheng's condition gradually improved, and he still stayed at home and handled official business in his room, but there were often many strange and trivial things.
For example, when Wen Yiheng processed the fold halfway, the water cup suddenly fell; Liu Yunniang's prepared food was tested for poison by silver needles; Even in the middle of the bath, the candles in the room with the doors and windows closed suddenly went out, and then they were almost intercepted in the dark......
But fortunately, all the above dangers were successfully solved by the secret guards led by Pei Kai.
