Zhangzhou City has strengthened its vigilance in the city since it had not yet arrived three days ago. Xu Xinsu specially transferred two battalions of elite troops into the city, and mobilized more than 100 elite patrol officers from surrounding states and counties, and the patrol force in the city has doubled compared with usual. These measures were taken to prevent anything from going wrong during the visit of the Haihan Mission, but they never expected that such a big incident could be caused in the city by day and night. Not to mention whether the Haihan dignitaries were injured in this chaos, even if they were only disturbed, this sin was enough for the local headhunters and city defense officers to drink a pot.

Seeing a bunch of catchers and Ming army officers kneeling in front of him, Ning Qi was also quite crying and laughing, and hurriedly ordered: "I'm not injured, get up and talk first!"

After the group of people got up, Ning Qi continued: "It is estimated that there are still fellow assassins in the city, hurry up and close the city gate, don't let them go." ”

An officer replied: "Lord Ning, rest assured, he has already ordered people to go to various city gates to order the closure of the gates, and he will never let go of the thieves." ”

Ning Qi said in his heart, I am not an official of the Ming Dynasty, and this "Lord Ning" is really awkward to hear. However, he didn't have time to correct these details at the moment, so he just nodded and said: "There are also guards who were injured just now, and they are also sent to the general army for treatment, and the seriously injured ones will be carried to the General Military Mansion, and there are doctors in the mission who can help treat them." ”

After a while, Yang Lu, one of Xu Xinsu's deputies, also rushed to the teahouse after hearing the news and apologized to Ning Qi for what had just happened. This Yang Lu is an old subordinate who has followed Xu Xinsu for many years, and when Xu Xinsu was not recruited in the past, Yang Lu was also a famous pirate leader along the coast of Fuguang. However, when Xu Xinsu took refuge in Yu Zhigao, the then Fujian general soldier in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Yang Lu followed him and became an officer of the Ming Army. In the past few years, he has accumulated military exploits and climbed all the way, and he has also been rapidly promoted from the original Xiaoxiaobai to the city defense general of Zhangzhou City.

Yang Lu was also greatly shocked when he heard the news that someone was stabbing the Haihan delegation on the street. If this matter is held accountable, he will definitely bear this blame. Yang Lu was also decisive, and immediately ordered people to block the city gate, and all streets and squares in the city were temporarily banned, and he rushed to the teahouse where the accident occurred first, and confessed to Ning Qi, who was still waiting here.

Ning Qi waved his hand and said, "Lord Yang, I'm fine, can you send me back to Lord Xu's mansion now?"

"Yes, yes, I will arrange someone to escort Mr. Ning back. Yang Lu hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Dispatch two teams of elite soldiers to send Mr. Ning back, and all travel along the way is prohibited! If you find any suspicious deeds, you can take them down directly." ”

Ning Qi now had most of his thoughts on Wang Jialin in his hands, and he didn't plan to continue to spend it here with Yang Lu, so he soon left the teahouse with four personal guards. Yang Lu had already transferred a carriage to stop at the door of the teahouse, Ning Qi looked at the situation on the street before getting into the car, and saw that several streets near this intersection had been cut off by the Ming army, and within a radius of sixty or seventy meters, there were Ming troops wearing red cloth armor and yamen in soap-colored uniforms everywhere, not to mention that there were as many as three or five hundred people, and the formation was indeed not small. This made Ning Qi's psychology a little more balanced, although the pre-event work of Da Ming's side was not enough, but the response after the accident was quite fast, at least Cheng Dù was still worthy of his identity in the current opinion.

After sending Ning Qi to the car and leaving, Yang Lu immediately blackened his face and ordered through gritted teeth: "Get all the live mouths you catch in the teahouse, no matter what method Lao Tzu uses, within half an hour, Lao Tzu will get their confessions! Where do they come from, who instructs them, and where are their comrades hiding, they must all be recruited!"

The owner of the teahouse stood at the door of the store and heard this, his face was indescribably bitter. If this teahouse becomes an execution room and makes the store smell bloody, who will come in and consume in the future? But before he could figure out how to intercede with Yang Lu, he listened to Yang Lu continue to command: "...... And the owner of this shop, the guys, and the people involved are all detained, and they search the store and their homes carefully to see if there is anything suspicious!"

At that moment, several soldiers immediately came over, pressed the owner of the teahouse and several men who claimed to be wronged to the ground, handed over hemp rope to him, and immediately tied them up. If Ning Qi was still here, he might have stopped Yang Lu's approach, because his choice of this shop to rest was completely improvised, and the location was also built by Wang Jialin, his own person, so there should be no possibility that Zài would be ambushed in advance. As for the three Assassins who later attacked the store, they should have followed him into the store.

However, when Yang Lu came, he didn't know the cause and effect, so he naturally automatically labeled all the people involved in the case as suspects. Regardless of whether they have done it or not, they will be arrested first on the principle that it is better to kill by mistake than to let go. In this way, even if the real murderer is not caught in the end, at least there will be a few live mouths to be used to take the crime. When the time comes, cut off a few heads, and you will be able to deal with the Haihan Mission to the top.

Ning Qi returned to Xufu in a carriage, which had long been under martial law, and the entire street was sealed off by the Ming army. As soon as Ning Qi got out of the car, Xu Xinsu had already greeted him, and said with a guilty face: "The old man has no way to govern the place, and he has made such a big mess, I am really ashamed of Mr. Ning!"

Ning Qi waved his hand and said, "Lord Xu doesn't need to apologize, and I am not injured." What is the condition of the wounded who were sent back earlier?"

Xu Xinsu said as he introduced Ning Qi to the gate: "After Wang Jialin and several injured guards were sent back, Dr. Morgan of your mission and the doctor from the old man's mansion had already received the doctor and treated their wounds. The old man had already ordered someone to go to the city to purchase all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, in order to save their lives. Mr. Ning is going to see them?"

"Okay, let's go see the wounded first!" Ning Qi was very worried about the injury of Wang Jialin, who had been talking to him about speculation, so he decisively agreed to Xu Xinsu's suggestion.

Xu Xinsu sighed: "Mr. Ning is really kind-hearted, Wang Jialin, this kid can be so appreciated, and it is worth it for him to suffer this injury." ”

The place where the wounded were treated was in the second courtyard of the Xu Mansion, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled in the air. Because of his special status, Wang Jialin also received treatment in a separate room.

When Ning Qi entered the house, he saw Wang Jialin lying on the bed, and Morgan was washing his hands, as if he had just finished treating his injuries. Ning Qi hurriedly asked, "How is his injury?"

Morgan glanced at Ning Qi and said, "He is very lucky, this knife is stuck in the ribs, the injury is not deep, it does not hurt the large blood vessels and any organs, but the ribs may have a little bone crack, but the injury is not serious." I have already stitched up his wound and recuperated for a few days, and when the wound is healed, it will not be a big problem to remove the sutures. ”

Ning Qi continued to ask, "Then is there any quenching poison on this flying knife?"

Morgan shook his head and said, "Quenching poison? No, this is just an ordinary knife, and it hasn't been chemically treated." The only thing to worry about was tetanus, which was more deadly than poison. But I think he's in good health, and he's lucky, and his wounds have been carefully cleaned, so he'll be fine. ”

Lying on the bed, Wang Jialin said in a weak voice: "Thank you Dr. Morgan for your kindness!"

Morgan nodded at him, and then said to Ning Qi, "I'll go see the other wounded first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

Ning Qi sent Morgan away, and when he walked to the bedside, he saw that Wang Jialin's face was still very pale, which should be caused by excessive blood loss, so he turned his head and said to Xu Xinsu: "Lord Xu, although he suffered this traumatic injury is not serious, he has lost a lot of blood, and he must make up for it." ”

Xu Xinsu nodded and said, "Mr. Ning, rest assured, he has made meritorious contributions to his guard this time, and the old man will definitely order someone to serve him well, and after his injuries are healed, he will be rewarded separately." ”

Wang Jialin also thanked him after hearing this. Ning Qi remembered the content of the previous chat with Wang Jialin, so he took the initiative to say: "Lord Xu, I have a reluctant request. ”

"Mr. Ning, please speak. ”

"I want to wait for Wang Jialin to recover from his injury and invite him to study in Sanya again. As we've talked about before, he himself should have that will. Ning Qi told what he had promised Wang Jialin before.

Xu Xinsu looked at Wang Jialin lying on the bed with a look of anticipation, thought for a moment and then nodded slowly and said, "If he himself has this will, then the old man is naturally happy to be an adult." Garin, don't you thank Mr. Ning yet?"

Wang Jialin barely supported his body to thank Ning Qi and Xu Xinsu, but his face was already a little rudder than before, and it seemed that this news was indeed tantamount to a stimulant for him.

Wanggarin was lucky to escape, but some of the other wounded guards were not. In the previous fight, a total of four guards were seriously wounded, and one of them was stabbed in the heart by the Assassin's dagger and hung up on the spot. Another person was pierced through the lobe of the lung, and a large amount of bleeding led to Yan zhòng's hemopneumothorax, and when he was sent back, he was not in a hurry to be treated. If it was in the special treatment ward in Shengli Port, it might be able to rely on the medical equipment brought by the 21st century, but in Zhangzhou in the 17th century, relying only on some simple first-aid devices brought by Morgan, there was no way to treat this kind of serious injury, and it could only be declared dead.

The other two wounded were purely skin wounds, and the wounds were treated and stitched up to be life-threatening. The other five or six others who were slightly injured in the fight just now were handed over to the local bone-setting doctor.

By the time Morgan had finished dealing with these things, nearly an hour had passed since Ning Qi returned to Xu's mansion. At this time, Xu Xinsu came to Morgan with an apologetic face, hoping that he would be able to go and see the few Assassin wounded people who had been caught, although these people would die sooner or later, but at this time, they still needed to save their lives to ask for confessions.

Morgan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess as a doctor, I have no reason to refuse to treat the wounded. ”

"I'll check it out too. Ning Qi took the initiative to say. Now that the matter has passed, he also wants to know who is so bold to stab himself in Zhangzhou.

Xu Xinsu said: "The old man also has the intention of inviting Mr. Ning to go with him. If such a big thing happened, the investigation process should be supervised by Haihan. ”

The Haihan mission had an accident in Zhangzhou, and Xu Xinsu was not only charged with poor guards, but also a natural suspect. In terms of power and power, no one in most of Fujian can compare with him, and he is a figure like the emperor in Zhangzhou, if you want to say what tricks you want to play in Zhangzhou City, Xu Xinsu definitely has a unique advantage.

Of course, Ning Qi didn't doubt Xu Xinsu too much, after all, the interests of the cooperation between the two sides were so great that one of them could not give it up lightly. What's more, Xu Xinsu's respectful attitude before and after the event was not a fake in Ning Qi's opinion.

Of course, the most important point is that if Xu Xinsu really wanted to be unfavorable to the Haihan Mission, Ning Qi believed that he would not use such a stupid method as publicly assassinating the Haihan Mission, and he had at least eighty ways to deal with the representatives of the Haihan Mission quietly. Even if he did use the stupid method of assassination after taking 10,000 steps back, it would definitely not give him a chance to survive - with the chaotic scene at that time, as long as the assassins had a dozen or twenty more people, or if they used sharper weapons, they might have succeeded.

However, this is just Ning Qi's personal thoughts, and it does not mean that Xu Xinsu has no motives, God knows what kind of calculation he has in his heart. Xu Xinsu himself should be well aware of this embarrassing situation, in order to prove his innocence, the best choice he can do now is to invite people from the Haihan Mission to participate in the investigation of the case and use the truth to clear his name.

In the assassination of the city, seven Assassins were killed on the spot, and six others were wounded and captured. According to eyewitness reports at the scene, two other people chose to flee after missing and have not yet been caught. The six people who were injured and captured were immediately arrested by Yang Lu and entered the teahouse where the accident occurred for torture, and before the doctor arrived here to deal with their injuries, two of them were too seriously injured and hung up before they could survive the first three levels of the punishment.

While Morgan was treating several injured guards at Xu's mansion, Xu Xinsu, who received the news, ordered Yang Lu to be notified immediately and asked him to suspend the torture of the assassins. Xu Xinsu knew very well that his deputy acted recklessly, and if a few live mouths were killed by him, then his suspicion would really be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

Thanks to Xu Xinsu's order, Yang Lu had already set up a stove in the teahouse and burned the soldering iron when he received the order, preparing to punish a few assassins with clenched teeth. And these surviving assassins were already injured, so it was really hard to say whether they could survive the punishment prepared by Yang Lu.

After Yang Lu received the order, he stupidly collected the stall and asked the group of people to be escorted to the prison of the city defense army. By the time Morgan and the others saw them, the few remaining living mouths were already dying.
