Chapter Thirty-Nine: The City is Full of Soldiers
Nan Ke dreamed until noon, the maid Xiaoping came to wake Song Nan up, Song Nan washed up and stretched out of the house, and saw that the little sister of the Li family was cooking something in a clay pot on the mud stove, which smelled weird.
Song Nan asked strangely, "What is delicious?" ”
The little sister of the Li family smiled: "It's a herb, the young master can't drink it." ”
Song Nan frowned and said, "Who told you to go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine?" "Last night's murder killed the people of Jinyiwei, today there will be a large-scale search in the city, the murderer was injured, with the experience of the yamen and Jinyiwei in handling cases, they will definitely strictly investigate the pharmacy and the medical hall, at this time to go to the pharmacy to catch the medicine is not asking for trouble.
Seeing Song Nan's solemn face, the little sister of the Li family hurriedly got up and said: "No, this is a herb, you see, this is wild fungus, wild spinach, and there are a few shou wu vines and red dates at home, which were boiled together for that girl to drink to replenish her blood." ”
Song Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with an apologetic smile: "I see, I misunderstood, remember, don't go to the pharmacy on the street to grab medicine, this matter can't be known to outsiders, you can take the time to buy some blood-replenishing things such as black-bone chicken and red dates to make soup." ”
Li Xiaomei nodded and said, "Zhilu Dao, young master, let's go and eat, Ping'er cooked your favorite fish soup for you." ”
Song Nan smiled, walked to the front hall, thought about it, turned around and walked to his room again, and entered the room, only to see Lu Qingli sitting on the edge of the bed with her cheeks dozing, seeing that her clothes were changed into clean, and her hair was meticulously combed, obviously she had already bathed and cleaned up in the morning; Aunt Fang on the bed leaned on the head of the bed with her eyes closed and fell asleep, her face was sallow and thin, and she had completely lost her former beauty.
Lu Qingli was awakened by Song Nan's footsteps, and when she saw Song Nan coming in and was busy getting up, Song Nan said softly: "No, no, how is she?" ”
Lu Qingli said: "I fell asleep all the time in the morning, and when I woke up once, I fed her some soup." ”
Song Nan said: "Don't worry, excessive blood loss is like this, I can't wake up for a while, you relax, I'm safe here for the time being, I'm waiting for your cousin to nourish your body, your cousin is a martial arts practitioner, and his body should recover quickly, the knife didn't stab the vital point, and it didn't hurt the big blood vessels, so there will be no worries about life." ”
Lu Qingli bowed down with red circles in her eyes and said, "Thank you Song Gongzi for saving your life, Qingli thanks Gongzi for her sister's great virtue." ”
Song Nan hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, although I shouldn't save you, but I always feel that you don't look like a wicked person who kills people indiscriminately, these days outside must be tightly investigated, you can't show your face outside, stay here and serve Aunt Fang with peace of mind, if you need anything, just tell your family." ”
Lu Qingli was crying and nodded again and again. Song Nan checked Fang Gu's wound and checked the pulse, the wound had stopped bleeding, although the pulse was weak but quite regular, which showed that Fang Gu's body was rapidly recovering, in this case, she could only rely on her own hematopoietic cells to quickly make blood to replenish the body, all outsiders could do was to boil her some nutrients to promote hematopoiesis to speed up the process, in short, everything had to be done by herself.
Song's mother, who was full of questions at lunch, asked Song Nan who rescued him, Song Nan was confused, only saying that the daughter of a good family was rescued by a thief, and at the same time solemnly warned everyone again to keep their mouths shut, and this matter must not be spread out.
Compared with the calm in the Song Mansion, the city of Ulzhou has already turned upside down, and the killing of a general banner and captain of Jinyiwei is far greater than the death of ten or eight ordinary people, who is Jinyiwei? It is a department directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, to a certain extent, the rights and status of Jinyiwei are even more special than the cabinet and the inner court, even the life of an ordinary captain in Jinyiwei is incomparable to ordinary people, not to mention being slaughtered by two at once, one of which is still the chief flag officer.
After last night's incident, the various yamen in Ulzhou soon got the news, not to mention that the government of Ulzhou Prefecture is not to say, the security in the city is their duty, Zhou Yuan, the governor of Ulzhou, went to the scene of the murder in Yihongfang overnight to arrest the murderer, and after getting the murderer's movements, a cadre of people quickly rushed to Fanggu's shop, but was surprised to find that the building was empty. Zhou Yuan immediately ordered that a cadre from Yihongfang be brought back to the yamen for torture, and mobilized hundreds of arresters from all over the large and small yamen in Ulzhou to arrest them.
In order to show his attention to this matter, Wang Dan ordered the garrison in the city to block the city gate, strictly prohibit entry and exit, and cooperate with the city-wide search and arrest of the state yamen.
After hearing the news that the murderer had escaped, Fang Datong was furious, and scolded the state yamen and others, although the officials were wronged, no one wanted to touch the head at this time, and only let Fang Datong go crazy; Fang Datong summoned all the Jinyi guards in the hundred households of the whole Jinyi Wei and carried out a frenzied search in the city, and the owners of the pharmacies in the whole city and Lang Zhong, who opened the medical hall, were sternly warned that if anyone bought medicine to heal the wounds and stop bleeding or asked for medical treatment, they must report it immediately, otherwise they would be punished as complicity.
The whole city of Ulzhou is full of chickens and dogs, and the soldiers on the streets, the fast catchers and the brocade guards who are galloping quickly, hiding slowly or with a slightly wrong look will invite unwarranted disasters, lightly hit the fists and mouths, and the heavy ones are pulled back to the yamen for questioning and torture, and for a time the whole city is panicked, and everyone asks for more blessings.
Yihongfang, who was arrested in the yamen, also recalled the appearance of Fang Gu and Lu Qingli, and under their description, they drew hundreds of copies of the two of them, distributed them to the people and horses searched by various teams, and posted them in the alleys and alleys at various street entrances, and the soldiers held portraits and stared at the women on the street unscrupulously, so frightened that the women did not dare to go out.
After lunch, Li Daniu went to the street to buy rice oil and came back, and as soon as he entered the house, he pulled Song Nan to the corner and secretly asked, "Brother, the two women you saved are murderers." ”
Song Nan said: "So what? ”
Li Daniu scratched his head and said: "The streets are all upside down, and the streets are full of their portraits. ”
Song Nan said in a low voice: "That's why I want you not to reveal it, the two of them are indeed the murderers of Jinyiwei, but I think there is a secret in it, so I saved them back, are you afraid?" ”
Li Daniu glared and said: "Brother Nan, I'm afraid that you will say this, I'm afraid that you don't know their identities, Brother Nan is not afraid of what am I afraid of?" ”
Song Nan smiled and said, "When have you ever seen me scared?" ”
Li Daniu said in his heart: This is the truth, when I went to the Song Mansion to ask for money, I felt that Song Nan had become a little unrecognizable, and now I even dared to save the murderer of Jinyiwei to save my home, there is anything else in this world that Song Nan dare not do, Brother Nan is no longer the same as when he was a child, and he can't guess him anymore.
Song Nan patted Li Da Niu's shoulder and said, "Brother Da Niu, don't worry, I'm not so confused, besides, they are in my hands, if there is any change, won't I hand them over?" ”
Li Daniu nodded and said: "Brother Nan understands in his heart, I don't have much to do, anyway, Brother Nan can do whatever he says, I have no opinion." ”
Song Nan said with a smile: "This is the sentence, we are good brothers." ”
……
Song Nan said it easily, but his heart was a little empty, listening to what Li Daniu said, there was already a commotion on the street, the portraits came out, and the identities of Fang Gu and Lu Qingli were also exposed, the two of them had opened a shop in the city, and there should be many people who knew them, as long as they showed up, they would be recognized immediately.
Song Nan really wanted to ask them why they wanted to kill people, but now is not the time, he should go out to find out the news, and he should be able to know the progress of the case quickly with his own identity, although he rescued people in the dark last night, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no blind night wandering ghosts who see their whereabouts, once they report to the official, they and their whole family will be finished.
This is different from framing Wang Dan, that matter has a plan and arrangement, but there is still a way out, after all, no one believes that they can command Jiang Bin and Fang Datong as a scholar, and if something happens, if they are bitten out, they can also refute it; And this matter is completely a personal act, Jiang Bin can't save it if he wants to, and Fang Datong will definitely not interfere.
Song Nan dressed neatly and walked out of the door, walked along the street to the military camp of the Dongcheng Thousand Households, and saw the tense situation on the street along the way, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, Jinyiwei's life is really valuable, ordinary people will never be so big when they die, and after a while, I suddenly heard someone on the side shouting: "Brother Song, Brother Song." ”
Song Nan looked at it when he heard the sound, but saw Jiang Bin walking from the alley with more than a dozen personal soldiers with a waist knife on his shoulder, Song Nan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Jiang Qianhu is good, what are you going to do?" ”
Jiang Bin spat at the mouth and said: "It's not a case of two Jinyi guards who died, Wang Dan ordered us to assist the state government to arrest and arrest the criminals, no, they don't have enough manpower, so I had to take a few brothers to help search door to door." ”
Song Nan said with a smile: "Why do you need to do such things in person, the brothers can do it for you." ”
Jiang Bin said: "That's not possible, the brothers have the affairs of the brothers, how can I make them feel sorry for such a bad thing, you don't have to participate, go back to the camp to do military affairs by yourself, won't two people die?" Is this what you can do? ”
Song Nan smiled silently, Jiang Bin looked left and right, stretched out his hand to pull Song Nan aside, sighed and said, "Brother, who is your murderer?" ”
Song Nan said: "How do I know Lu Dao. ”
Jiang Bin said mysteriously: "It scares you when you say it, you can stand still, don't fall a big heel." ”
