Chapter 109: What Crime Should I Be Guilty of?
The person who came was the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who came in a hurry after hearing the news, since the last time he returned to Beijing, until now Wang Zixuan has not been able to find an excuse to drive Mu Ao back to the border pass, resulting in Mu Ao still staying in the capital for nearly half a year.
However, in the end, Wang Zixuan still found an opportunity, which is not mentioned for the time being, just now. Shen Ruan as a junior, the Mu family and Mu Qing to participate in this Shen Ruan's birthday banquet, Mu Ao naturally did not have to come, he just had to relax and catch up with friends in the capital, this wine was only three rounds, and he heard the news that Mu Qing was assassinated in the Shen family, Mu Ao rushed over in the heavy rain as soon as the wine cup fell, and his heart was anxious to imagine.
Seeing the menacing Mu Ao, Shen Duan no longer had the heart to accuse Shen Ruan, and hurriedly pushed the wheelchair forward to greet him: "Master Hou." ”
Mu Ao ignored him, and saw Chu Nian and Ming Xiu sheltering from the rain under the eaves, he let go of Shen Dui's wheelchair, strode towards the two, hugged his fist towards Ming Xiu, and then looked at Chu Nian and said, "County Lord, do you know what is going on?" Where is Qing'er now? ”
Facing Mu Ao, Chu Nian felt a little guilty, lowered his head and said: "Ah Qing was injured just now in order to block the knife for me, and now he is being cared for by Xu Lao and Ah Wan...... Life and death are uncertain. ”
Mu Ao's face sank, and Chu Nian's heart also sank, the murderous aura of the people who had been on the battlefield was not fake, at this moment, even Chu Nian couldn't withstand the inexplicable murderous aura from Mu Ao's body, his face was pale, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back, Ming Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but his face was also heavy.
The killing god who forced the entire courtyard to dare not breathe slowly spoke: "What about the assassin? ”
Chu Nian raised his head with a murderous aura, and his gaze swept over Shen Ruan, who was still spread out in the court, and Shen Dui, who had a gloomy face. Mu Ao immediately understood something, and glanced at Shen Ruan, who was covered in blood: "Who hit it?" ”
Shen Dui's face was stunned, "Master Hou, after the incident, the lower official also knew that the sister was confused, so he handed over the person to the county lord, if the Hou Ye felt uneasy......"
The body of the killing god slowly faced Shen Dui, Chu Nian sneered, this Shen Dui is still clever at this kind of level, taking Zhenyuan Marquis as a fool? After guarding the border for so many years, he Mu Ao doesn't understand the sophistication of the people, but it doesn't mean that he can't hear it! Moreover, in Shen Jiade's territory, if he Shen Dui really wanted to, could he let his sister assassinate the Wushuang County Lord? Boil the ocean?
Rao is Mu Ao can't figure out the reason, just because Shen Duan is so active in handing over Shen Ruan now, he can see that there is fraud in it!
This twilight is deliberate!
Mu Ao's majestic aura suddenly erupted, and the huge fist slammed into Shen Dui's chest in Shen Dui's eyes full of surprise, this punch went down, not to mention Shen Dui's already crippled body, even the willow wood under him that was soaked yellow by the rain was also smashed to pieces, Shen Dui's body was heavily embedded in the ground, and for a while, the entire courtyard of the Shen family's mansion trembled three times.
Shen Du was smashed and almost unconscious, and the rain fell on him more and more arrogantly, and in a fog, he saw Mu Ao's figure gradually disappear.
"Leave him a dog's life for the time being, county lord, take me to see Qing'er, if Qing'er has a good one today, even if I don't want this empty title, I want him to be buried with the whole family!"
Chu Nian indifferently glanced back at the Shen family brothers and sisters who were both spread out in the rain, and then turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Mu Qing was placed.
At this moment, the courtyard was very deserted, seeing that Mu Qing had an accident in the Shen family, most of them knew Mu Ao's temper, for fear that he would be implicated when Mu Ao arrived later, so he hurriedly fled, and at this moment there were only a few people hiding under the eaves waiting for the rain to stop, all of them were subordinates of the Shen Mansion, and there was a Wang family with an anxious face, seeing Mu Ao who was following behind Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, Wang's face was obviously pale.
I saw that she didn't care about sheltering from the rain, so she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted against the heavy rain and said, "Courtesy Wang, I've seen Lord Hou." ”
Mu Ao's eyes holding knives swept her coldly, causing Wang's body to shake, and then he saw the three of them bypassing her body and going straight to the house surrounded by the people, at this moment the door of the room was closed, but just saw Ah Wu coming out of it, with a solemn expression, holding an iron basin full of blood in her hand.
Seeing that Auntie handed over the iron basin to the next person and was about to turn around and enter the house, the rules of the hospital, if the doctor is saving the patient's life, no one is allowed to watch, who knows if Auntie will come out again after entering the house, of course Mu Ao will not let go of this opportunity to learn about Mu Qing's situation, so he hurriedly stopped Auntie and said with an eager face: "What is the situation inside?" ”
Auntie had never seen the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but when she saw the face of the middle-aged man in front of her, she also understood a rough idea, but it seemed that Mu Qing's situation was not optimistic, and Auntie didn't know how to talk to Mu Ao, so she only sighed, broke free from Mu Ao's restraint, and returned to the house as if she had escaped.
Seeing this situation, Chu Nian's eyes darkened again, as if he felt the low pressure of the woman next to him, Ming Xiu pursed his lips and raised his right arm to pat her shoulder, but halfway through his brows, he finally withdrew his hand.
At this time, Mei Xiang came up worriedly, "Lady, change your clothes, you are already soaked, and you will catch a cold." ”
Chu Nian lowered his eyes and kept silent.
This emergency treatment made Xu Lao and Ah Wu stay in the house for a day and a night, and when the two of them came out, their eyes were already full of exhaustion, so they looked at Chu Nian and the others who had also been waiting in the courtyard for a day and a night, "Life is saved, but the old man's knowledge is limited after all, and when he will wake up depends on the creation of Mu Niangzi." ”
The implication is that Mu Qing may never wake up.
Chu Nian doesn't know how to do medicine, but he can also see the powerlessness in the eyes of Xu Lao and Ah Wu, one of these two is the head of the Tai Hospital, and the other is a miracle doctor who is famous in the capital, if these two are powerless, is Mu Qing really saved?
Mu Ao had already rushed into the room first, but Chu Nian turned his gaze to Xu Lao and Auntie, leaned over and saluted, "The two divine doctors have worked hard. ”
Xu Lao stretched out his hand to hold Chu Nian up, "Why did the county lord make such a big gift, after all, it is because of our limited knowledge, or thanks to the divine doctor under the county lord, the old man can barely save Mu Niangzi's life." ”
Chu Nian nodded gratefully at Auntie, then turned his eyes to look at Xu Lao again, his expression was unprecedentedly urgent: "Old Xu, is there really no way for Mu Niangzi to wake up again?" ”
"This ...... At least with the medical knowledge in Beijing, whether Mu Niangzi can wake up now depends on personal creation, but ......"
Looking at Xu Lao's somewhat hesitant face, Chu Nian's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "But please make it clear to Elder Xu that now that Mu Niangzi is sick in bed, I really can't let my friends ruin this life for me......"
Yes, as the pearl of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, Mu Qing was born with everything, she should have married a good family in the future and lived the rest of her life well, but now she was stabbed for her, and if it weren't for Mu Qing, who was lying unconscious on the soft couch now, it would have been her Chu Nian.
When the time comes, don't say anything about the great cause of revenge, what the great cause of the family and the country, everything will be gone.
Now Chu Nian's heart is not only uneasy and panicked, but also guilty. I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me, which is far more painful than a thousand cuts.
Sure enough, Xu Lao has a way, but this method sounds ...... It's more like a fantasy.
"There is a sacred mountain at the junction of Western Chu and the barbarians, there are goddesses and fairy springs on the mountain, if you take the fairy spring water, you can cure all kinds of diseases, and even the body can be restored as before......" Xu Lao looked at Chu Nian with some hesitation, "But this is a rumor after all, it is rumored that there was a plague outbreak in the barbarians, and the goddess on the sacred mountain went down the mountain with great mercy to give the water of the fairy spring, and the barbarians were able to survive until now." ”
Chu Nian's face sank, Divine Mountain? Goddess? Fairy Spring? It seems that Xu Changqing really has no choice but to propose such an ethereal method, but ...... If it was the only hope, she would give it a try!
Seeing the firmness burning in Chu Nian's eyes, Xu Changqing knew that he had said such rumors that he didn't believe, and the unparalleled county lord who had been wise and brave had already believed it, so he had to sigh helplessly, "Rumors are just rumors, the county lord should not waste ......his efforts."
Chu Nian didn't hear the second half of his words, the person had already entered the house, and Mei Xiang, who was waiting on the side, innocently glanced at Ming Xiu, who was tired on his side, and also entered.
Xu Changqing then looked at Ming Xiu, a long time ago he went out in distress, it was His Royal Highness the Prince who happened to pass by to save his life, so far he knew that the so-called "fool prince" was not a real fool, on the contrary, he was also both civil and military, and his mind was full of scheming, so Xu Changqing bowed to Ming Xiu, watching him hide his true face in the turbulent times of the capital, and a few years passed, until the appearance of the unequaled county lord.
Seeing Ming Xiu's indulgent eyes fixed on Chu Nian's back, Xu Changqing figured out the reason for it in a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness."
Ming Xiu seemed to have just come back to his senses, withdrew from his thoughts, and nodded towards Xu Changqing: "Old Xu, it's hard work." ”
Xu Changqing stroked his beard helplessly, "The county lord is not an unreasonable person, His Highness still needs to explain more." ”
What to explain? Ming Xiu's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and a pair of narrow eyes narrowed slightly, hiding the pity under his eyes.
Originally, he was selfish and didn't take into account her feelings, and failed to block her in time, if it wasn't Mu Qing but her who was lying on the couch today, what should he do? But no matter whether she was hurt in the end or not, Ming Xiu also knew in his heart that if she wanted to forgive herself, she would have to work hard.
……
The next day, there was silence in the court, the first few heads did not speak, and the officials below were also looking at each other, no one dared to speak first, and occasionally someone looked at a vacant seat above the court hall and sighed silently.
That was where Shen Du used to go to court in a wheelchair, and now I heard that he was beaten half to death by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and he was not allowed to go to court for half a month.
What happened in the Shen Mansion yesterday spread to the entire capital in an instant, and it made the court also shake, after all, now the Wushuang County Lord is in the limelight, the King of Huainan looks at it differently, the Prime Minister Prince Xuan protects each other, and the Queen Mother is under the knees of Chenghuan, who would have thought that the bold Shen Erniang would dare to openly assassinate the Wushuang County Lord?
But that's what happened! It's still so sensational!
Baiguan looked at the Marquis of Zhenyuan with sympathy, he gave birth to such an only daughter at such an age, held it in the palm of his hand, he didn't dare to move a single hair, but he just attended a birthday banquet, and innocently blocked a knife for the unparalleled county lord, and now he is sick in bed, I don't know when he is sober, he is at the age of marriage, isn't he having to lie on the couch for the rest of his life?
And at this moment, the murderous aura on the body of the Marquis of Zhenyuan also made people dare not speak, a whole noon passed, the court was silent and silent, and the ministers who seemed to have observed countless people's feelings in the past were also silent at the moment, and looked at Wang Zixuan at the head for help, just afraid that if the prime minister did not open his mouth again, they would be suffocated to death by the murderous aura on the Marquis of Zhenyuan!
It seems that Wang Zixuan really can't stand the eyes of the officials, and it took him a long time before he thought about it and said: "Ahem, Hou Ye Zhenyuan, Mu Niangzi Ji is a natural appearance, it will be fine, and Hou Ye should not worry too much, work hard." ”
Give a sweet jujube first, and wait for the murderous aura on Mu Ao's body to gradually reduce, Wang Zixuan stood up and said slowly: "But in the end, you hurt the court officials, Mu Ao, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
