Chapter 132: Loyalty is not disobedient
Recently, such a dense and strange thing happened in Wen Yiheng's room, even if he was slow about the situation, Liu Yunniang found Su Jiudong and asked: "So many things have happened in Heng Gongzi's room recently, is someone ready to attack him again?" ”
"It's not that I'm going to do it to him, but I'm already starting to do it." Su Jiudong looked through the medical book while paying attention to the heat, and was too busy to look back at Liu Yunniang: "These things that happened should be a signal, someone in the court is warning him." ”
"Warn him about what?" Liu Yunniang was puzzled: "Gongzi Heng has been recuperating from his injuries these days, he has hardly gone out, and he can't get involved in the affairs of the court, how can he be warned for no reason......
Su Jiudong shook his head: "Although he doesn't leave the house, he can still command his subordinates to carry out tasks, how can he not involve the imperial court?" Similar secret assassinations and poisoning are so frequent, I am afraid that the situation in the Asari is very tense, and it has reached the point where it is necessary to kill him. ”
"Heng Gongzi is the prime minister, and there are still people who dare to assassinate the prime minister, I'm afraid they haven't eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall." Liu Yunniang didn't know much about the situation in the court, and simply thought that being the prime minister would be able to call for wind and rain and sit back and relax.
"A-Niang, those things in the court have nothing to do with us, and we don't need to get involved." Su Jiudong paid careful attention to the fire, and she had already made up her mind not to go to the capital with Wen Yiheng, and she didn't want to talk too much about the affairs of the court and politics with Liu Yunniang.
In Wen Yiheng's room, the topic of the political situation in the DPRK was hotly discussed.
Pei Kai drew his own conclusion from the strange and trivial things that have occurred frequently in the past few days: "This kind of behavior of secretly poisoning and killing people, you don't need to guess that it must have been done by the prince." ”
"Knowing that Gongzi is preparing to return to the court with Lord Chu at the end of the year, the prince is estimated to be unable to sit still, and is worried that Gongzi's return to the capital will change the situation of the confrontation between the two sides of the DPRK and China, so he has killed Gongzi five times or three times."
Wen Yiheng also agrees with Pei Kai's opinion: "Indeed...... The dead soldiers who were poisoned before, and the strange things in recent days are indeed the use of covert attacks. The prince has sent so many people to kill me, it seems that he is indeed in a hurry. ”
"This time, Gongzi and Pei Kai both think that it was someone sent by the prince to do it, but the humble position doesn't think so." Lan Menghan, who wanted to speak several times and had been silent, finally couldn't help but say his opinion.
Wen Yiheng raised his eyebrows, leaned back relaxedly on the back of the chair, lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his index finger, and said slowly: "What do you say?" ”
Lan Menghan explained: "The dead soldier before admitted that the prince sent him to poison the prince, but the situation at that time was that most of the secret guards had missions to carry out, and the son was unattended when he went out, so he gave the dead man a chance. ”
"However, the recent events that happened in Childe's room are slightly different from the timing and place of the previous killing."
Pei Kai preemptively asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Lan Menghan took a deep breath and spit out quickly: "First, several incidents happened in the child's room. Now that most of the secret guards have returned from their missions, after the incident of Childe being poisoned by gangsters, the care of Childe's room has become more strictly guarded. ”
"If the prince's dead man sneaks into the prince's house to attack, the other secret guards will definitely find out and capture him immediately, and he will not be given a chance to attack, let alone four or five times later."
"Moreover, the poison that has been poisoned these times is a batch of frost, which is different from the poison that the prince poisoned to his son before. If it was the same batch of dead soldiers, why didn't they choose to continue to use the prepared Death Killing Orchid and switch to the batch of frosts? ”
"Before the killer starts, most of them will choose a poison with quick effect to prepare, with the intention of hitting the target with one hit, rather than alternating two or three poisons. That would be a waste of time and unnecessary. ”
For the first time, Pei Kai saw Lan Menghan, who was usually indifferent, and said so many words, and obediently followed her mind to rethink.
Lan Menghan categorically made the final conclusion: "Therefore, the humble function is determined, the strange things that have happened recently have nothing to do with the dead soldiers sent by the prince before, and they must not be sent by the prince." ”
Lan Menghan said a lot of things, Wen Yiheng and Pei Kai immediately glanced at each other after listening, and their eyes were full of sudden realization.
"You're quite interested in this, and you've even summed up the differences." Wen Yiheng smiled lightly and clapped his hands, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Meng Han is so loyal to me, but it makes me worry about whether the reward I give you is worthy of your dedication to me." ”
Lan Menghan's expression narrowed, put away the excesses that he unconsciously revealed when he was talking just now, and said gratefully: "Childe is serious. Childe gave the lowly job a chance to be reborn, and loyalty to the son is the best reward for the cultivation of the childe. ”
In the face of Lan Menghan's expression of loyalty, Wen Yiheng did not show too much appreciation, and only said casually: "Loyalty is of course a good thing. I'm a selfish and greedy villain, and if I can't be loyal to just me, I won't use ...... anymore."
Wen Yiheng changed his words: "Fortunately, Pei Kai and you are both people I trust very much, and every time the task given to you can be completed smoothly and excellently, it really didn't disappoint me." ”
Pei Kai scratched his head embarrassedly, obviously a little overwhelmed by Wen Yiheng's sudden praise: "It all depends on the cultivation and guidance of Gongzi, otherwise the lowly rank will not have the skills and skills it has today." "It's easy
Wen Yiheng was noncommittal, turned his head and asked Lan Menghan's opinion: "Menghan, you have concluded that these things were not done by the prince, so in your opinion, apart from the queen and the prince's party, who else wants to put me to death?" ”
Lan Menghan thought for a while and replied: "I think that the current court and China are roughly divided into two camps, but the forces on the queen's side are not exactly the same line, so they should still be under the queen's camp, and they have thought of a new way to attack the prince." ”
"The secret guards are now guarding Childe's room closely, and the killers of the past few days have been able to successfully sneak into Childe's house to do it, which can only show that there are teams of secret guards, and there are fine works sent by the queen......" Lan Menghan hesitated before saying the last sentence.
Pei Kai shook his head and said in disbelief: "Our secret guards were carefully cultivated by Gongzi, how could anyone betray and defect to the queen and deal with Gongzi in turn?" Aren't they ungrateful? ”
Lan Menghan was stunned for a moment, and muttered in a low voice: "Everyone has their own reasons, maybe that person also has his own difficulties......"
"What are you talking about? I didn't hear you. Pei Kai touched Lan Menghan's arm with his hand, wanting her to say it loudly again.
"I will investigate the matter judged by someone in the secret guard in the future, if someone really defects to the queen and the prince's faction, I have another way to deal with it." Wen Yiheng said in a deep voice: "The most important thing at the moment is to beware of any more bad people. ”
Wen Yiheng asked Lan Menghan to invite Su Jiudong into the house, and told Su Jiudong about his plan: "A lot of things have happened during this time, I am still in a dangerous situation, and I don't want you to be dragged down, so I decided to move to Lin'an Mansion in the future." ”
“…… You're moving out? Has it gotten this serious? "Su Jiudong was a little surprised, the residual poison of the Bailuo skirt poison in his body has not been cleared, and Wen Yiheng, who has added a new poison, is going to move to Lin'an Mansion to live, how should the treatment be carried out in the future?
is as strong as Wen Yiheng, if even he thinks that the matter is serious enough to drag Su Jiudong and them down, and chooses to go out to live temporarily, then does it mean that the struggle between the two factions in the court has reached a fever pitch?
Otherwise, how could Wen Yiheng come up with the next step of temporarily leaving home and running to Lin'an Mansion to avoid danger for fear of implicating them?
Knowing that Wen Yiheng was leaving for Lin'an Mansion, Su Jiudong suddenly forgot about the previous "Cold War" policy, and naturally revealed his worries and concerns about Wen Yiheng.
"Then the poisonous ...... on your body" Su Jiudong frowned slightly, not optimistic about the method proposed by Wen Yiheng.
Wen Yiheng smiled lightly and said lightly: "The poison on my body naturally has to trouble you." It's not that I can't find a better doctor, I still trust you more than anyone else. ”
"When the time comes, I will settle down in Lin'an Mansion, and I will send someone to Qishan County every five days to pick you up and treat me for a consultation, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Who is worried about you......" Su Jiudong's arrogant mood came up again, and immediately denied it: "I am a doctor, you are a patient, and it is normal for doctors to treat patients, so I am not just worried about you." ”
"Okay, good, you're a conscientious doctor, I've always known that." Wen Yiheng was noncommittal, and his doting gaze was on Su Jiudong.
Su Jiudong turned a blind eye to Wen Yiheng's doting choice, quickly turned around and ran back to his room like a meteor catching the moon, closed the door and locked it, turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Wen Yiheng is a man of action who does what he says, and he really packed up everything after three days, and took advantage of the quiet night, under the cover of a group of secret guards, to secretly go to Lin'an Mansion, leaving only Lan Menghan and the three secret guards to stay at Su Jiudong's house.
After Wen Yiheng left, Su Jiudong's family's small life continued as before.
Liu Yunniang gets up early every day, prepares breakfast, sends Su Tingan and Ah Rong's two children to school, goes home to tidy up the housework, and then picks up the children from school and prepares dinner. Su Jiudong went to the medicinal restaurant every day to take care of business as usual.
The reputation of Jonway Medicinal Restaurant was restored, and regular customers also came back one after another, and the business of the Medicinal Restaurant gradually returned to its former prosperity.
Due to the loss of two restaurants in the county town at once, some regulars in the past at Linsheng Restaurant and Qishan Restaurant also chose to patronize Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant to taste the deliciousness.
Due to Wen Yiheng's poisoning and recuperation during this time, he has been staying at home to deal with official business, staying at home, and not many people can usually see him. So even if Wen Yiheng moved to Lin'an Mansion, no one noticed that he had "temporarily disappeared" from Qishan County.
Wen Yiheng followed the practice he said before, and sent someone to pick up Su Jiudong to Lin'an Mansion every five days to diagnose and treat the residual poison and illness in his body.
In the afternoon of this day, Su Jiudong came to the Wen Mansion in Lin'an Mansion as usual to check Wen Yiheng's pulse, but Wen Yiheng, who has always been punctual, has not appeared today.
Su Jiudong casually pulled a guard over and asked, "Where did your son go?" ”
