The atmosphere on the upper floor of Guanxue was dull, Song Nan opened his right arm, Yang Ko'er stood aside with a soju glass, a military doctor was quickly dipping a strip of cloth in wine to clear the wound, a dagger burned red on the brazier, directly cut into the meat, and picked out an iron sand the size of a soybean grain.

Song Nan gritted his teeth and frowned, holding back himself from screaming, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"It didn't hurt the muscles and bones, the iron sand only entered the flesh, but I'm afraid that this arm will not be able to move violently for a few days, the villain will give the Hou Ye medicine and bandage, change the medicine once a day, and the new flesh will be born in more than ten days, and before that, beware of the wound bursting." The medic bandaged the wound.

Song Nan nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

The military doctor bowed and withdrew, and Yang Kouer took a brocade to wipe Song Nan's sweat and assist him in putting on clothes; From beginning to end, Hou Dabiao, Wang Yong, Jiang Feng and others standing next to them were all crying and did not dare to speak, and Yang Yiqing sat in the corner with a gloomy face.

"Why are you mourning one by one? I'm just a little hurt, not unhurt. Song Nan picked up the teacup with his left hand awkwardly and took a sip, Yang Qian'er wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Song Nan with his eyes.

"My lord, you can punish us, tonight's incident is our dereliction of duty, which almost killed Miss Yang's life, and also injured the adult, so I asked for a demotion from my humble position." Wang Yong stepped forward and arched his hand, his face full of remorse.

Hou Dabiao also said: "Humble duty should be damned, I should have sent someone to protect the adult, but I didn't leave someone around the adult, it's really stupid, please punish the adult." ”

Song Nan sighed and said, "What's the use of punishing you?" Teach you to be obedient today, everyone was too smooth in the past, and they all cocked their tails, look, how is today? As soon as you do something, you immediately get into a hurry. There is no need to be demoted, but you two should be vigilant, today our Jinyi Wei Yamen is considered to have lost face, fourteen brothers were slaughtered on the street, and even I was injured, so think about it. ”

Hou Dabiao and Wang Yong couldn't wait to get out of the ground and get into it, their faces were burning, Song Nan was right, they suffered a big loss today, there was really no reason to shirk, they knew that Song Nan was going to get out of the lamp market today, but the arrangements in advance were not thorough.

"That's it, you two don't blame yourself too much, now is not the time to blame yourself, the top priority is to find out who is so bold to attack us, but unfortunately we didn't catch it alive and couldn't ask for any information."

"The lowly is incompetent, I wanted to catch them alive, but these guys resisted desperately, and the brothers had to bombard them all, and the lowly didn't want the brothers to be killed by them in order to live." Wang Yong said in a low voice.

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "You did the right thing, in fact, since this group of people dared to attack me, they must have already embraced the heart of death, and it is almost impossible to catch them alive, and even if they are caught, they will definitely not be able to ask anything; But even if you can't catch it alive, you may not be able to guess who it is. ”

Hou Dabiao said: "Those two guards of the palace want to kill adults, could it be the king of Anhua?" ”

Song Nan said: "The king of Anhua is the king of Anhua, but the person who attacked must not be from the palace, otherwise I knew that Miss Yang was fake me, but why did I attack Miss Yang?" Their goal is just to kill me. ”

Wang Yong scolded angrily: "The old dog of King Anhua has also stepped in, why don't you play the emperor with this and kill this old dog." ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "What you said is easy, can you accuse King Anhua of murdering me based on this?" The king of Anhua can shirk the responsibility lightly, the actions of the palace guards do not mean that the king of Anhua instigated, and besides, it was only me and Kou'er who were present at the time, who can prove that those two people intended to kill us? The governor of Na'an has already made up the story, and as soon as it is announced tomorrow, the two guards will become righteous men who are brave enough to take the thief. We can only pretend to be confused about this matter, and we can't act rashly without real evidence, we just need to remember his account that you two are not allowed to reveal anything, don't spoil my business. ”

Wang Yong and Hou Dabiao nodded and said, "Obey the orders of the adults." ”

Song Nan paused and asked: "There is one thing I don't understand, Miss Yang pretending to be my identity is to hide people's eyes, just stay in the Guanxue Building and pretend that I am here, openly showing off in the lamp market, but I don't know what you think?" What is going on with Li Zeng and Zhou Dong, why does Kou Er travel with them in the light market, aren't you worried about being found out by them? ”

Yang Kou'er said angrily: "You think about it, I do want to go to the Lamp Market tonight to meet you, but I won't be stupid enough to pretend to be you, don't I have no choice." ”

Song Nan said: "What's the matter? ”

Wang Yong said: "I don't blame Miss Yang for this matter, it was agreed upon by Lord Yang and the lowly position and Hou Zhenfu. ”

Song Nan turned to the silent Yang Yiqing in a corner and said, "Lord Yang, is it your idea?" ”

Yang Yiqing owed a debt and said: "I took someone out to run errands this morning, and met Li Zeng and Zhou Dong on the way, the old man didn't want to say much to them, but the two of them took the initiative to speak, and said that the matter of measuring the acres of land that day was really inappropriate, apologized to the old man and asked the old man for forgiveness, and promised to give me strong support for the rectification of the border preparations. ”

Song Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "They took the initiative to admit their mistakes? ”

Yang Yiqing said: "Yes, Lord Song, you know that the old man is very urgent about the matter of rectifying the border preparations, if it can be resolved harmoniously, it is better than the two sides making a fuss." In view of this, the old man also wanted to properly resolve the matter. However, Li Zeng said, because Jin Yiwei has already intervened in the matter of measuring the acres of land, he is afraid that you, Lord Song, will not accept Zhou Dong's apology, so he asked me to mediate the big matter and turn it into a small matter, and please enjoy your face to visit the lamp market with them, and apologize in person in the lamp market. I saw that the two of them were earnest, so I made the decision to answer for you. I wanted to wait for you to get out before I explained the matter, but they sent a carriage in the evening, and you were still in the palace, so they had no choice but to let Chloe pretend to be you and accompany them to the Lantern Market. ”

Song Nan was dumbfounded and said, "You agreed to them so easily?" Aren't you worried about being recognized? ”

Yang Yiqing said: "I have something to say in the first place that you can't talk much because of the wind and cold, and Kou'er is very clever in learning from you, as long as you cover your face and talk less, just hang out with them for a while, when nothing goes wrong, where did you think that such a thing would happen." ”

Song Nan understood Yang Yiqing's thoughts, Yang Yiqing's action to rectify the border preparations had reached a dead end, although he threatened to come forward for him, but in fact intensified the contradiction. For Yang Yiqing, what he hopes more is to cooperate with Zhou Donghe and Qiqi to smoothly implement the rectification of the Tuntian tax rate. It is precisely because of this that when Li Zeng and Zhou Dong said that they would cooperate with him, Yang Yiqing chose to let Yang Qianer take a risk to deal with it. Yang Yiqing is a good official, and he has worked hard to carry out the rectification of the border preparations, although this move is inappropriate, but he can't blame it.

But the question in Song Nan's heart was finally answered, and Li Zeng and Zhou Dong's table in the lamp market was unfortunately seen by himself. When the chaos arose, the door of the wooden building on the steps suddenly opened, and Li Zeng and Zhou Dong quickly retreated into the door, leaving only Yang Ko'er pretending to be locked out of the door, followed by the shooting of crossbow arrows, the assassin approached, and the blood flowed like a river, which was of course not a coincidence.

Nine times out of ten, the masterminds of the assassination on Cheng'en Street tonight were Li Zeng and Zhou Dong, and Song Nan was almost certain of this, and King Anhua just took advantage of this shareholder to kill himself and blame the assassins on Cheng'en Street.

Song Nan considered that it was unreasonable for Zhou Dong and Li Zeng to be so bold and dare to attack themselves, and no matter how big the contradiction was, these two would not dare to assassinate themselves. That Li Zeng is just a eunuch of the town army, in fact, he has no power in his hands, and Zhou Dong is even more unbearable, in terms of real power, these two people are waste, the reason why they have a head and face in Ningxia Town is because of the power of one person, this person is Liu Jin.

However, things are much simpler, and the mastermind behind this is probably Liu Jin. Who would want to die on their own so much? Even the King of Anhua knows how to kill people with a knife, instead of choosing to confront himself head-on, he only dares to take advantage of the chaos to let those two guards attack, and afterwards he will definitely blame these assassins. Only Liu Jin would have such a great hatred for himself, and it was a good time for him to start in Ningxia Town, but when he returned to the capital, he couldn't do anything about himself.

Song Nan's brows were tightly locked, the cloudiness on his face was uncertain, and his face became a little terrifying. Everyone looked at each other in panic, not knowing what Song Nan was thinking.

Yang Kou'er was scared and said in a low voice: "Song Gongzi, don't be angry, Daddy is also thinking about official business, who would have expected such a thing to happen?" Don't blame my father, my father asked for my opinion, and I agreed. ”

Yang Yiqing got up with a long sigh and said: "Lord Song, this matter is Yang's fault, if you don't let Kou'er pretend to be you tonight, such a thing will not happen, Yang will make amends to you." The old man is haggard, and he is afraid that he will not be able to complete the duties of the chief officer of the three sides, so the old man will write a letter tonight to resign from his official position, and Lord Song tried his best to recommend the old man, but the old man taught Lord Song to be disappointed, and he was really embarrassed. ”

Song Nan suddenly laughed a little crazy, and everyone looked at Song Nan in shock, thinking that Song Nan was insane.

"Rub your chest quickly, I'm afraid I'm going crazy."

"It seems that slapping your mouth works, Wang Yong, you have a lot of hands, you can do it."

"I ...... I don't dare. Miss Yang, why don't you pinch the adult. ”

Yang Ko'er really trembled and reached out to Song Nan's middle of the people with her little hand, but Song Nan grabbed her little hand and pinched it, Song Nan stopped laughing and said, "Are you really mad at me?" Not only am I not crazy, but on the contrary, I am more sober than anyone else. Lord Yang, not only do I blame you, but I also have to thank you, if it weren't for your mistake, how would I know the root of this qiē. Ladies and gentlemen, this Ningxia town is really a dangerous place, and things are getting more and more exciting, let me sort out the context of the whole thing with you, and you will know the excitement. ”
