Chapter 40: An Assassin Who Is Not an Assassin
The courtyard is filled with the fragrance of plums, and the air is sweet.
The cold wind was worn, the plum fragrance was even worse, Wu's mother felt like she had drunk honey, sweet, she was ready to eat more, a big table was full, all for the general and his wife.
During the meal, the two were a little embarrassed at first, but after a while, they sandwiched vegetables with each other, hahaha, are they all slow-heated?
If Jingyu sees the general still feeding his wife, he will tease his general again in the future.
In the evening, Guan Duyuan and Jingyu were discussing in the study, when they suddenly heard a noise outside, ran out to take a look, and someone shouted, "Assassin, there are assassins!" Catch the assassins! ”
Jingyu clenched the sword at his waist and flew in the direction that everyone pointed to, Guan Duyuan hurriedly went straight to Shu He's room, and when he saw that the person was fine, he told He Huan to protect his wife well.
While instructing Jia to send people to search, he chased in the direction where Jingyu went, flew up to the eaves, and just stood firmly, he heard Jiang Li's room shouting, and he felt bad. He jumped to the ground and hurriedly went straight to Jiang Li's room.
Still a step too late, Jiang Li's left shoulder was stabbed with a sword, bleeding non-stop, and soon stained his clothes, Jiang Li kept crying, shouting in his mouth "General save me, General save me", that was very pitiful. Guan Duyuan couldn't care too much, hugged her tightly in his arms, and shouted, "Find a doctor, quickly!" ”
Jiang Li was in Guan Duyuan's arms, snuggling, trembling, he saw that she was wearing thin clothes, she should have rested, and she hugged her tightly and didn't dare to let go. Ah Lian was out of breath crying on the side, but Guan Duyuan still instructed her to get a set of clothes and wrap Jiang Li tightly.
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he couldn't believe that the general's mansion would come in with assassins? Why? Why do you want to leave the river? Could it be that there is some secret in her, what is in her?
He looked at the person lying in his arms carefully, looking very panicked and pitiful, but there was a complicated look in his eyes, and he had an ominous premonition, this matter was not so simple. Of course, this is just a gut feeling on his part, and there is no basis for it.
Not long after, the doctor came and hurriedly stopped Jiang Li's bleeding and healed, and Guan Duyuan stayed by his side. The wound was not deep, but there was a lot of blood, and the whole person looked much weaker.
Jingyu chased for a long time before catching up with the man in black, it seemed that the man in black was not very good, Jingyu fought with him, and captured the man in less than ten moves. Jingyu couldn't believe that he could enter the General's Mansion as an assassin with such kung fu? He thinks it's not good, there may be something strange about this matter, so he will bring people back secretly.
The man was caught by Jingyu, felt that it was not good, and wanted to kill himself, but fortunately, Jingyu was quick and stopped him. After tying up the person, quietly bring them back to the secret room.
When Jingyu heard that Jiang Li had been stabbed, she was shocked at first, and then recalled the story of this incident, and then pretended to be very disappointed and went to Jiang Li's room to find the general.
Jingyu: "General! ”
Guan Duyuan asked, "What about the assassins?" ”
Jingyu said gloomily: "General, my subordinates are incompetent and didn't catch it." ”
Guan Duyuan noticed that Jiang Li's expression had changed for a moment, he glanced at it, and quickly moved his gaze back to Jingyu's body. Jiang Li's changes, Jingyu also saw it all.
The general said, "Didn't catch it? Send someone to keep searching! I can't find an officer to report to. ”
Jingyu received the order, and immediately wanted to leave, but Jiang Li on the side stopped him.
Jiang Li's voice was weak and said to Guan Duyuan: "General, the concubine is fine, just rest for a few days." Don't report to the official, if it is a person who alarms the government, it will affect the reputation of the general's mansion, and it is not good for the general's reputation. And this matter should not be publicized, so as not to disturb people's hearts, this is another festive season is coming, and it must not affect the atmosphere. ”
Her rhetoric was reasonable on the surface, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny, which coincided with a certain speculation in Jingyu's heart, and he thought it was very strange, so he pushed the boat down.
Jingyu helped: "General, the festival is coming, report to the official at this time, I don't know if there are still people who will try their best to investigate the case, and once it spreads, it is really not good for the reputation of the General's Mansion and you." ”
Guan Duyuan was surprised, why did Jingyu say this, could there really be any clues? Therefore, how to decide, with his own understanding of Jingyu, if there is nothing strange, this child will never be so disrespectful of human life and reputation.
So, after listening to Jiang Li's words, he didn't report to the official and blocked the matter.
Guan Duyuan stayed with Jiang Li until late at night, not because he wanted to accompany her, but because she wanted him to accompany her, everyone was injured, and he couldn't abandon others regardless of reason. Until the second half of the night, Jiang Li fell asleep, and he was too sleepy, so he went back to the study to rest first, and before leaving, he told Ah Lian that something was summoned.
As soon as Guan Duyuan returned to the study, he saw Jingyu waiting for him in the study.
The general asked Jingyu, "Jingyu, why aren't you resting?" ”
Jingyu said, "General, there is something important waiting for you!" Please follow me. ”
So the two of them went to the secret room, and there was a man on the floor of the secret room, tightly bound, still in a coma.
Guan Duyuan instantly understood what was going on, "This is the thorn..."Jingyu hurriedly stopped him and pulled him back to the study.
When he returned to the study, he boldly told Guan Duyuan everything that had happened without any scruples.
The more Guan Duyuan listened, the more he felt that things were strange, and he was also surprised and incredible, so the two of them had the same thoughts.
The general asked, "You mean the Assassin is not skilled?" You suspect there aren't any assassins, do you? ”
Jingyu replied, "Yes, General! Originally, I was just suspicious, so I deliberately said that I didn't catch it, just to test the reaction of the other side. When I said that I didn't catch the assassin, you can see the man's reaction, it was reassuring and relaxed. ”
The general said, "I found out, so I told you to continue searching, and if you can't find it, report to the officer." ”
Jingyu said: "As soon as you mentioned the official, that person began to panic, and he made such a big set of rhetoric, and he said it on the surface, but in fact, it couldn't stand scrutiny. Think about it, with her character and thoughts, if she is really injured by a thief, how can she end up without making a fuss? What do you say about thinking about the reputation of the general and the general's mansion, when did that person really think about the general's mansion? I don't need much of this, general, you know it yourself. ”
Guan Duyuan originally thought that Jiang Li was a little weird, but now after analyzing it like this, thinking about it, this can not only solve all doubts, but also explain it reasonably, it seems that it is indeed as Jingyu said.
The general told Jingyu, "Well, in order not to startle the snake, I still go over there, and I still have to do what I should do, so as not to arouse suspicion, I will appease her first." You interrogate as soon as possible and pry your mouth open, but you still have to keep the matter low, don't spread the word, and don't let anyone know about the Assassin's arrest, don't be careless. Generally, people who don't even want their lives must have secrets on their bodies, dig out the secrets, and people must hide them! ”
Jingyu received the order and secretly interrogated the assassin overnight.
In the secret room, Jingyu woke the man up, beat him hard, and begged for mercy again and again.
It was a fool who didn't understand anything, and he couldn't help but torture him, and Jingyu didn't waste any effort when he interrogated him, so he asked about the cause and effect.
When Guan Duyuan returned again, Jingyu told him the results of the interrogation, and it was really not much different from what the two had guessed.
Jiang Li was grounded, seeking the prince helplessly, and wanted to turn over with his own strength, so he staged such a self-directed assassination.
In the end, Jingyu said the conclusion he had always believed: "Too many women are trouble!" ”
Guan Duan was far away, and he didn't comment on what he said, but he really came to a conclusion: "It's terrible when a woman is ruthless, she doesn't even let go of herself, women can't be provoked!" ”
The general said: "Jingyu, remember to keep this matter secret, only you and I can know." It must not be any different from there, just like I don't know, but I want to see what she wants to do. ”
Shu He couldn't sleep alone, and while waiting, he thought, this assassin is either a peerless master or an internal thief, otherwise he will not be able to enter this impregnable general's mansion. He thought about it for a long time and thought it was very interesting.
If it weren't for the general's order that no one was allowed to enter Jiangli's courtyard, she really wanted to join in the fun. However, this idea was extinguished by He Huan for her, and she looked at the candle flame alone in a daze, knowing everything in her heart, but she wouldn't say it.
