Chapter Fifty-Six: Fear After the Fact
Chapter Fifty-Six: Fear After the Fact
Redsleeves walked to the porch and knelt down facing east; tears, she couldn't hold back it, and muttered a prayer to God: Yunxiang is a good girl, that person is here to kill me; Even if someone is going to die today, it should be me who dies, not Yunxiang.
She had never believed in gods so much.
Inside the house, Shen Miaoge's hand was on the short sword; Doctor Mo looked at him quietly: "Pull up, pull straight up; Be fast, not slow, and don't hesitate. ”
Shen Miaoge nodded: "I've been on the battlefield, I understand." "He's seen life and death and seen a lot, so he can't make any mistakes in doing this.
Doctor Mo nodded slightly, and then spit out a word: "Pull!" Shen Miaoge used both hands to pull out the short sword at once; Both he and the Ink Divine Doctor were half sprayed with blood.
Doctor Mo had already plugged the prepared soft cloth on the wound, and Linghe on the side stepped forward to replace Doctor Mo: Yunxiang is a girl who is not married, and the injury is on the chest, so both Doctor Mo and Shen Miaoge have to avoid it.
Linghe first rinsed Yunxiang's wound with boiling water that had been warmed, then rinsed the wound with the soup prepared with "medicine", and finally applied the "medicine" powder to stop bleeding to Yunxiang's wound and bandaged her.
Red sleeves came in to look at Linghe, and Linghe said with some difficulty: "Next, it's up to Yunxiang herself." Red Sleeves looked at Yunxiang and didn't speak.
Yun Xiang's face was still so white that there was no trace of blood, and if it weren't for the chest that rose and fell slightly from breathing, she looked like a dead person.
Red Sleeves turned his face away and didn't look any further; Yingcao'er sent the antidote 'medicine' in, Linghe took it, and under her guidance, Yingcao'er pinched Yunxiang's mouth open and fed her the 'medicine' little by little.
Yingshu and Cha Xiang were not poisoned as Red Sleeves feared, it seemed that only the short sword was poisonous.
Yingshu and Cha Xiang's injuries were also very serious, but they did not endanger their lives; The two of them fell asleep after taking the "medicine", they lost too much blood, and the ink doctor thought that they should sleep well, instead of worrying about this and "worrying" about that.
Redsleeves did nothing, not thinking about why the Assassin had come, or who had instructed him; She just stayed by Yunxiang's bedside.
Yunxiang started a high fever in the night, and everything seemed to be going in a bad direction; Although the red sleeves did not shed any more tears, the grief between their expressions was visible to everyone.
No one's comfort can make Red Sleeves show a trace of face, even the eldest sister will just let Red Sleeves cry when she hugs her.
Red Sleeves couldn't accept that someone died because of her.
She changed the cold "hair" towel on Yunxiang's head one by one, and scrubbed her body with Linghe over and over again for Yunxiang: hoping to make Yunxiang less hot.
After two days of sleepless sleeplessness in Red Sleeves, the popularity of Yunxiang has finally dropped!
After Dr. Moshen checked the pulse: "The girl can rest assured; He can be regarded as a guest of the Zheng Mansion, so he also calls the red-sleeved girl with Yunxiang and others, and only rarely calls the young lady: "Yunxiang, her poison is clean; After the high fever subsided, I was able to wake up quickly. ”
Red Sleeves cried with joy, and finally fainted in Shen Miaoge's arms: she was just too tired.
Yunxiang woke up the next day, she was weak and speechless, but as soon as she woke up, it meant that she was alive.
After Red Sleeves had a good night's sleep, he beckoned Shen Miaoge to discuss the matter of the assassin: it doesn't matter if you can find the assassin or not, the important thing is to find the person who is the mastermind.
In the past few days, Red Sleeves has ignored this matter, but Old Marquis Shen and Marquis Shen have not done nothing: the three assassins captured by Shen Miaoge have already spit out, and they are the people who were invited by the three chief managers of King Cheng's family to spend money.
Some of them confessed to Shen Miaoge, and their purpose was twofold: it was best to kill Shen Miaoge, and if he couldn't kill him, he couldn't rush back to the Hou Ye's mansion in time - the person who bought the murder was afraid that Shen Miaoge would get the news and rush back to the mansion after the assassin succeeded.
The assassin couldn't fall into the hands of the people of the Shen Mansion, otherwise the three chief managers would not be caught by the people of the Shen Mansion.
As for who the other Assassin was, the three Assassins did not know; According to them, they are not killers of the same grade as others, so it is naturally impossible to know each other; And the chief steward did not tell them who the man was.
The matter involved Prince Cheng, and the father and son of Old Marquis Shen did not forget it, but took three assassins to find Prince Cheng to ask for an explanation; When Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng heard this, they were naturally furious, and immediately asked the three chief managers to bring up.
Can Prince Makoto not be angry? If the third chief manager beats someone from the Shen Mansion on the street, even if it beats Shen Miaoge - this is not a big deal; But the head of his own family bought a killer to assassinate Shen Xiaohou's husband and wife, which really killed him!
Fortunately, Old Marquis Shen did not directly sue the emperor, which made Prince Cheng sweat a handful of sweat, and at the same time, he had a good impression of Old Marquis Shen's father and son.
Old Marquis Shen did this, thinking that this matter could not be what Prince Cheng meant: he has always been a leisurely rich and noble prince, never fighting for fame or power, but just being happy and happy; Although he is a little "lustful", he has not done anything to bully men and women, and he is a good one among all the princes.
It is impossible for Prince Cheng to assassinate people in the court, and if he does this, he will be the head of the prince; The analysis of Old Marquis Shen, Marquis Shen, and Shen Miaoge believes that it was Mrs. Guo's doing.
It's just that if you want to move Aunt Guo, you have to make it clear with Prince Cheng in front of the gong and the drum opposite: Shen Mansion, of course, it is impossible to let Aunt Guo go.
I believe that the third chief manager will not suffer on behalf of Aunt Guo; Therefore, the father and son of Old Marquis Shen came to see Prince Cheng overnight: there was no delay for a while; They are afraid of long nights and dreams, not to mention that one assassin ran away, even if the three assassins were captured in the fairy spirit building, it is impossible for Aunt Guo not to know.
Fortunately, Aunt Guo is the outer room of Prince Cheng, and the Cheng Mansion is not something she can enter if she wants to, and the people in the Cheng Mansion are not something she can see if she wants to: she should not have time to communicate with the three chief managers and confess.
It's just that Prince Cheng's people didn't bring the three chief managers to talk back and forth, but only brought back one sentence: the three chief managers died in his room!
Old Marquis Shen's father and son glanced at each other, they didn't expect that Aunt Guo, a woman, would be so ruthless; Speaking of which, it was their father and son who underestimated each other too much.
It's hard to say what a person can do when they're either you die or I die; If the other party was a man, Old Marquis Shen's father and son would naturally not think that the other party would not kill the third chief manager, Aunt Guo, who was an outlier in this era.
The third chief steward died of poison, and the poison he took was the wine on the table in his room: everything at the moment seemed to have nothing to do with Aunt Guo; For the three chief stewards died in the king's own house, and the poison he took was on the table in his own house; If you call for a quick catch, you will say that he died by "suicide".
Prince Cheng didn't expect that the third chief manager would 'commit suicide', and he was even more annoyed: Isn't this trapping the master for injustice! Since you are going to atone for your sins with death, why don't you make it clear to the people of the Shen Mansion and then die. Now, how do you want him to explain to the Shen Mansion?
Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng saw the troubles of her prince, and said softly: "Old marquis, marquis, don't worry, our prince will definitely find the person who instructed the three chiefs to buy the murderer and hand it over to the Shen Mansion for disposal." ”
Prince Cheng immediately nodded in agreement, and agreed with the princess's words: let him know which bastard did it, and see that he didn't pick the man's skin.
He didn't want to be an enemy of the Shen Mansion, especially in this kind of thing that he absolutely didn't justify.
Old Marquis Shen's father and son left Prince Cheng's mansion without saying anything: What are you talking about now? said that it was done by Aunt Guo, and without evidence, it would only make Prince Cheng very annoyed; If you say that this matter is entrusted to the emperor, even if you punish Prince Cheng, it is useless - this matter is not done by Prince Cheng.
It's better to be generous and not tell the emperor, so that Prince Cheng owes himself a favor; Then I looked for Aunt Guo to ask the third manager to buy the certificate of murder, and then Prince Cheng owed affection first, and it was not good to plead for Aunt Guo.
After listening to Shen Miaoge's words, Red Sleeves "groaned" for a long time: Why did Aunt Guo assassinate herself? Just for the teahouse, for something outside the body? She couldn't understand it.
No matter what reason Aunt Guo has to kill herself, she is so tired that Yunxiang almost died, so tired that Yingshu is tired, and Cha Xiang is seriously injured, she can't let her go.
Aunt Guo is also in a panic now: she didn't expect the assassin to miss at all! She took out a lot of silver, how could these legendary all-powerful killers be so unbearable?
Although she designed the third chief manager to take away the poisonous wine, she didn't know if the third chief manager would eat wine tonight: if he didn't eat, he would fall into the hands of the Shen Mansion, and she would have only a dead end.
When she was nervous, she heard the little second brother downstairs say in a strange manner: "Master Shen Xiaohou has arrived, he is really a distinguished guest, please ——! inside ”
This sound frightened Aunt Guo so much that she could hardly sit in her chair: Could it be that the third chief manager has been arrested, and the Shen Mansion has come to arrest her? So what to do, what to do? She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her whole body trembled: as long as she was taken away by the people of the Shen Mansion, she would be dead and lifeless.
She now has no ruthlessness to buy a killer to assassinate Shen Miaoge and Red Sleeves, and she is only full of fear: she is afraid of death.
It's just that the more she was afraid of something, the more she heard the sound of the stairs, and the little second brother came up to ask for someone: "Auntie, Master Shen, please go down to meet." ”
A meeting? I'm afraid that I will go to prison after the meeting. She didn't remember until now that the other party was the lord of the marquis and the county lord - although she won the favor of Prince Cheng, she was just a flat-headed commoner in terms of identity; Prince Cheng is the prince, but she is not.
At this time, Aunt Guo, who thought of this, was cold all over her body; She was arrogant for too long, thinking that she had climbed up to Prince Cheng, so she raised her value and everyone would let her score three points; Therefore, she was not afraid at all when she bought the murder.
The second brother couldn't wait for Aunt Guo's answer, and said: "Master Shen said that if the eldest lady doesn't go down, it will be the same if he comes up." "Remember the permanent address of Q Pig Literature Station:, so that you can read it next time!
