Chapter 34: What a painful realization

Xiao Rui not only waited for the imperial doctor, but also waited for the Xia Emperor!

Emperor Xia actually came in person.

Xiao Rui wanted to get out of bed and salute, but was stopped by Emperor Xia and exempted him from the courtesy.

After seeing the injury, the imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has the grace of God, it is a blessing in misfortune, the dagger only stabbed His Highness's flesh and skin, and did not hurt the meridians and bones. If the dagger goes to the side again, it will inevitably cut the meridians and hurt the muscles and bones, and the consequences will be extremely serious. ”

Emperor Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Rui glanced at the imperial doctor, it was really in line with his sycophant kung fu, but there was a palpitating expression on his face, and he said: "Erchen was only slightly injured, so he let his father come late at night, and Erchen was deeply frightened. ”

"You have a good rest." Emperor Xia stood beside the bed, tuck the quilt for him with a loving face, and said, "Don't worry, my father will make decisions for you and have a good rest." ”

"Yes, Father." Xiao Rui nodded obediently.

Xia Huang looked at Zhang Jinfu and left the room, Zhang Jinfu said to Xiao Rui, "Have a good rest", and hurriedly followed out.

The imperial doctor continued to heal Xiao Rui's injuries until the early hours of the morning.

It is said that Emperor Xia walked out of the house and said to Zhang Jinfu: "Send someone to protect Xiao Qi, and the mansions of several other princes will also send someone to protect them secretly." ”

"The last general commands." Zhang Jinfu hugged his fists.

"Can you find out where the assassins are?" Emperor Xia asked.

Zhang Jinfu shook his head: "No, when the last general sent someone to search, the assassin disappeared without a trace." Other city patrol teams also found no Assassins, and it appears that the Assassins were hiding in the southern part of the city. ”

Nancheng District is inhabited by high-ranking officials, nobles, royal relatives and nobles.

"The capital has been quiet for too long, so that some people forget that this is the important place of Beijing." Emperor Xia was very angry and shouted: "Starting tomorrow, increase patrols and strictly investigate!" ”

"The last will obey." Zhang Jinfu ordered him to step down.

And Emperor Xia returned to the palace under the escort of the forbidden army.

"Sea companions." Emperor Xia was pretending to sleep in the carriage and suddenly called.

Hai Dafu, who was traveling with the car, stepped forward and said respectfully: "The slave is here." ”

"Notify Dongchang and Jinyiwei to prepare to close the net." Xia Huang said.

Hai Dafu replied: "The slave understands. ”

Suddenly, Emperor Xia opened his eyes and asked, "Who is that middle-aged man in the Little Seven Mansions?" ”

Hai Dafu was stunned for a moment, and his forehead sweated slightly: "The minion investigation is not detailed, and the origin of this person has not been investigated." It should have only recently entered the Seventh Highness's mansion, and there was no such person before. ”

"Look it up." Emperor Xia said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Hai Dafu is more respectful.

"Say, is it a coincidence that tonight's assassin is here? Now that I think about it, it feels like it's worth scrutinizing. Xia Huang knocked on the side and said suddenly.

Hai Dafu felt more beads of sweat on his forehead, and said cautiously: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Emperor Xia chuckled: "If Xiao Qi has such a heart, I am also very pleased." ”

Seeing that Emperor Xia no longer pursued it, Hai Dafu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, he knows the terrible nature of Emperor Xia, and if he can climb to this position, Gonggong Hai has long been walking on thin ice.

Next.

The people of the capital found that the patrol battalion patrolling the streets had become diligent, and once they found a scoundrel, they would be taught a lesson and then arrested. The emperor's relatives and officials knew the inside story, and they all let their families be honest and not to offend the mold of the patrol battalion.

Xiao Rui's small mansion was lively, and I heard that Emperor Xia was there in person yesterday, which was like a signal that all the emperor's relatives and dignitaries went to visit Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui, who was not welcomed in the past, became a fragrant bun, and the gifts filled the room, which turned out to be an unexpected joy.

At this time, Xu Xianyang's face was gloomy and ugly.

When he learned that Xiao Rui had been assassinated, he felt comfortable in his heart, and it was good to be killed. But later learned that he was only slightly injured, and when Emperor Xia arrived in person at night, Xu Xianyang suddenly collapsed in a chair.

He realized that he had fallen into a terrible maelstrom and could well hang himself.

Because who will assassinate the low-key Xiao Rui?

Xiao Rui, who only sued yesterday, was reprimanded by himself, and Xiao Rui was assassinated at night. Coincidentally? Coincidentally, but what will Emperor Xia think!

Xu Xianyang was a little stunned, and he couldn't appeal for his wrongs!

What's more...

He thought of what he had done, and there were other things in him, although he had done it very vaguely, but it was guaranteed to be foolproof?

In the case of the destruction of the Wang family, it was only the son who died. But if other things about him are revealed, it will be the entire Xu family that will be destroyed, not a life.

"Prepare the car, prepare the car quickly." Xu Xianyang roared.

Xiao Rui was recuperating in the mansion, Gao Quan was waiting by his side, and Jia Xu went out early in the morning and did not return until the evening.

There are too few people available, and Jia Xu has to do it himself, Xiao Rui sighed the embarrassment that no one is available. I decided to train my henchmen well in the future.

"Sir, is there a catch?" Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Early this morning, Jia Xu said that Xu Xianyang was already a frightened mouse, and the frightened mouse likes to flee back to the nest to check if his rations have been lost, so Jia Xu speculated that Xu Xianyang would leave Xu's mansion and check his sins like a mouse, and find a way to restrain and cover up.

If it weren't for the injury, Xiao Rui would have wanted to follow him together, which was really exciting.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Xu Xianyang was very cautious and let his subordinates go out in his carriage, while he got into a simple carriage through the back door. I followed him around the capital for a long time, and it was not until near evening that I saw him enter a government-run workshop, which was the workshop of the supervisor, and I inquired about it, and it was for the production of soldiers' armor. ”

Xiao Rui was pleasantly surprised: "For no reason, why did he sneak into the official workshop, it seems that his horse's feet have finally leaked out." ”

"Sir, what shall we do next?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu suddenly shook his head: "Don't let us do it for the time being." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Rui blinked, but didn't react.

Jia Xu said, "I also found people in the same way outside the government-run workshop, and looking at their appearance, they should be from Jinyiwei and Dongchang." It seems that His Majesty has long wanted to move Xu Xianyang, but the time has not yet come. And last night's assassination sounded the death knell of Xu Xianyang. ”

"Father..."Xiao Rui was taken aback.

Jia Xu exclaimed: "I was fortunate to see Emperor Xia up close last night, and it really deserves its reputation. Emperor Xia was able to go from having nothing to winning the Great Summer, he was not an ordinary person. Xu Xianyang is a cancer, according to Emperor Xia's character, it should have been swept away a long time ago, but why did it take so long? I'm wondering, the reason why Emperor Xia kept Xu Xianming was also a test? ”

Xiao Rui's hair trembled, and he couldn't believe it: "It's unlikely." ”

"Maybe it's because I'm overthinking." Jia Xu smiled.

Xiao Rui kept this matter in mind and decided to ask Xiao Yan tomorrow.

"Then let's wait for our father to take down Xu Xianyang?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu smiled: "Let's wait and see what happens, I can't figure out Emperor Xia's thoughts." ”

Xiao Rui nodded.

The next day, Xiao Rui asked Gao Quan to invite Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan skipped class and came.

"Seventh brother, what are you looking for me?" Xiao Yan saw that he was so anxious, and hurriedly asked.

Xiao Rui asked: "Do you still remember, why did you go hunting with Tian Boguang and Zhang Lianchuan to the hunting ground in the first place?" ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said: "Lian Chuan's idea was mentioned by his father, Marquis Zhongyong, saying that when his father summoned several princes and Marquis Zhongyong who opened the mansion, he inadvertently mentioned that there were big insects in the hunting grounds, and it happened that the tiger skin in his imperial study was old. Before we hunted, the second, fourth, fifth, and starlings had all been there. Unexpectedly, we shot the big worm, and found the body of the Wang family. Don't you know? It seems that the fourth brother didn't tell you. ”

Xiao Rui fell into a dead silence in an instant, and felt a chill hit him.
