Chapter 49
After the two brothers returned home, it was already noon, but fortunately, An Dingguo was busy receiving guests and had no time to pay attention to the two of them, otherwise the two who missed the time to return home would inevitably receive family law disposal. An Ruixiang asked people to bring lunch to An Ruiqi's room, so that he could find out Ning Xue's situation from his mouth while eating. An Shou, who returned from the prefect's office, was already waiting in front of the door, and bowed when he saw the figures of the two.
"Vice Admiral An is exempt, how are things going?" An Ruixiang beckoned him in, closed the door, and asked in a low voice.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" An Shou took out several dossiers hidden in his arms and handed them to An Ruiqi.
An Ruiqi carefully took the dossier, thanked An Shou gratefully, and immediately walked to the bookcase and began the work of transcribing.
An Shou followed him to the side of the case, and after saluting An Ruiqi again, he said, "Major General Qiqi, my subordinates still have something to report." Since the return of the An family's army, the emperor has added officials to a number of generals, and An Ruiqi, because of his strategic planning in the battle, has made great contributions, so the emperor named him a major general, and An Ruixiang's official worship is at the same level, but at the right time An Ruiqi is seriously injured and bedridden, and he did not receive the seal in person, so he has always been dismissive of this matter and has never regarded himself as a major general.
"Vice General An should not be polite, but it doesn't hurt to say anything." After An Ruiqi picked up the pen, he flew quickly on the paper, his eyes wandering on the file and the paper, and he didn't care to look at An Shou.
An Shou saw that he was so anxious, and he didn't take his faux pas to heart, he replied: "Back to the words of the young general, the head catcher in the prefect's mansion is the old knowledge of his subordinates, and the subordinates expected that the young general was quite concerned about this murder case, so he made an assertion and privately inquired about the case from the head catcher. ”
When An Ruiqi heard this, he hurriedly put down the wolf in his hand, and respectfully asked An Shou to sit down and give him a detailed explanation.
An Shou rejected An Ruiqi's kindness, and then told An Ruiqi exactly what he heard from the head catcher.
After An Ruiqi listened, he had mixed feelings in his heart. One is that what An Shou said is very important to crack this case, the second is that Ning Yue was involved in such an unfathomable whirlpool for no reason, which is really worrying, and the third is that there are such powerful forces in the shadows eyeing this case, and it may be even more difficult to find the real culprit by one's own strength...... Thinking of this, An Ruiqi felt that the knife wounds on his head and chest began to ache faintly again, and he was afraid that the medicinal power had dissipated......
After An Shou saw that he listened to his words, he fell into deep thought, frowning, and later, his white face began to flush slightly blue, looking very uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "My subordinates have followed An Jiajun to fight in the south and north for many years, although they are not well-informed, but they have also read countless people. His subordinates dared to assert that with the erudition and ability of the young general, no matter how difficult it was, it would definitely be able to solve it. Therefore, the major general should not be confused because of a momentary impatience. ”
An Shou's words were very useful to An Ruiqi, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away the worries in his heart, and suddenly felt that his heart was clear, and suddenly he became clear, and the many uncertainties in the case suddenly became a lot clearer. An Ruiqi smiled at An Shou to show his gratitude, and secretly sighed that An Ruixiang had such a wise person under him.
"Second brother, only after eating can I have the strength to continue investigating the case, come here. Vice General An, you see, two jars of old and good wine, you and I haven't drunk three hundred for a long time, and we must drink it happily today! An Ruixiang quietly left the room at some point, and then walked back quietly with two jars of wine.
An Ruiqi looked at An Ruixiang's depressed expression, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. Now, how can he be happy, it's just to drown his sorrows with wine...... An Ruiqi knew that An Ruixiang had been waiting for him to describe Ning Xue's situation to him, but Ning Xue's words and deeds all revealed his admiration for him...... It's really a dilemma......
Although An Ruixiang was impatient to know if Ning Xue was okay, it was just that when he watched An Ruiqi engrossed in flipping through the transcription file, he sighed from time to time, and he was really exhausted by Ning Yue's case, and he felt very sorry in his heart. The second brother's stubborn illness has not been cured, and he has added new injuries, and now he is so tired for this case, I am afraid that it will hurt the root and aggravate the disease...... As the eldest brother, I have no ability to share his worries, at least I can guard him by the side, urging him to eat and take medicine...... Besides, if I can't see Xue'er in person for a day, I won't be relieved for a day, so I won't bother my second brother about this matter......
After the three of them had lunch, An Shou playfully suggested that Dao move to An Ruixiang's room and continue to drink. An Ruiqi smiled and sent the two out of the room, then returned to the bookcase, took out a bottle of medicine from the dark compartment, and drank it all. In this way, it can last another three hours......
In the evening, An Ruixiang did not arrive as scheduled, and after An Ruiqi had dinner alone, he felt that the knife wounds on his head and chest began to hurt again, so he took another bottle of medicine, and then continued to transcribe the dossier. In the middle of the night, An Ruiqi finally copied all the files and recorded what An Shou said to him. Looking at the detailed record of Duan Ming's murder in front of him, he smiled with satisfaction, and then sorted out the paper he had transcribed and put it into the bedding. Just as he returned to the bookcase, intending to depict what he had learned from inspecting Ning Yue's room today, he suddenly felt an unprecedented severe headache unsuspectingly hit him, and the pain made him faint immediately. In this way, he lay on the cold ground for the night. Early the next morning, An Ruixiang came to visit him, and when he saw him lying on the ground, unconscious, he hurriedly sent someone to carry him to the bed and ordered a doctor to come and treat him. This commotion alarmed An Dingguo, who was still asleep......
