I see! This makes sense to explain that there are no assassins, and Lin Haotian is still injured.

Yang Yuyan didn't know much about the efficacy of these drugs, but Du Bo knew in his heart that using pain to stimulate nerves was indeed a way to restrain aphrodisiacs and ecstasy, at least prolonging the time for the drugs to exert their effects. It's just surprising that Lin Haotian would be so ruthless to himself, this person's quick reaction and instant decision are very comparable!

"No matter what, if the last general escapes, it will inevitably involve his family, and the last general will never do this, and all the things will be borne by the last general alone. If Lin Haotian had to find someone to take revenge, he would ...... Willing to be that person too!"

"General Du......" Du Bo's words moved Yang Yuyan very much, her eyes were sour, and tears flowed down: "It's this palace that harmed you......"

Let's say that Lin Haotian, who was unconscious, was escorted back to the palace by many Jin troops.

At this time, the palace was already full of soldiers and armor inside and outside, as if facing a great enemy, Lin Haotian, who returned to the palace, was immediately closely protected, and the ministers and generals of the Jin State went in and out, all of them were nervous about Lin Haotian's injuries.

Since Lin Haotian has never had an heir, once he has three longs and two shorts, the blow to the Jin Kingdom will be fatal, how can people not be concerned?

Lin Haotian's special military doctor checked his injuries for the first time, and after checking it, the military doctor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the guards to let out the words, adults are fine, everyone doesn't have to worry anymore.

His injuries are indeed not serious, and the imperial doctor in the palace has treated and bandaged him, and the gold sore medicine used is also of the highest quality, as for why he is still unconscious, the military doctor can't say it for a while, it is estimated that it may be caused by excessive blood loss.

In the early morning of the next day, when Lin Haotian woke up. Many of the ministers of the Jin Kingdom also gathered in the palace and did not leave.

People stayed up all night, and their eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing that Lin Haotian woke up, everyone gathered around, and Ding Feng on the side was the first to ask, "Why are you so bold at this moment and dare to assassinate the adult?"

Except for myself, others want to hurt me. How easy is it to talk about? Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, but he couldn't say this. If it is said that he injured himself, the whole thing cannot be explained clearly, and it is bound to involve the queen's drugging of him, which also includes the deviant behavior between him and the queen, how can this matter be spread to the outside world? This dumb loss, Lin Haotian can only swallow it in his stomach, but he will not give up.

He said quietly, "The assassin is powerful. I don't know what it is!" As he spoke, he raised his voice and asked, "Shao Lin, Tonglei?"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei, who were guarding the door of the room, heard Lin Haotian's call, and both walked in from the outside, bowing their hands and saying, "The last will be!"

Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Has the assassin been caught?"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei know the inside story best, of course, they will never break it and dismantle Lin Haotian's backstage. The two of them said, "Not yet! The Assassins may have fled the capital, or taken refuge in a very secluded place. ”

Lin Haotian pretended to be angry. He raised his hand and slapped the bed heavily, and said angrily: "A big living person, he can sneak into the palace without knowing it, and assassinate Ben Shuai, what are you all eating? Where is Du Bo, the chief of the palace guards? Let him come to see me!"

Yang Yuyan is very smart, and her guess is not wrong. Lin Haotian did have the idea of taking this opportunity to get rid of Du Bo.

Shao Lin and Tong Lei glanced at each other and said in a low voice, "General Du should still be in the palace now......"

"How can such waste be worthy of being the chief of the guard? How can the king's safety be in his hands?" Lin Haotian snorted coldly and ordered: "Pass on the commander's order." The reason why the assassin was able to infiltrate the palace was that according to the commander, Du Bo could not get out of it, and it was very likely that the assassin was put into the palace without permission. ”

Shao Lin and Tong Lei couldn't express their position, the two glanced at each other, and both responded: "Yes!

Peng Qian said worriedly: "My lord, Du Bo is the chief of the palace guard, and he was given the title by the king, so let's arrest him, isn't it appropriate?"

Lin Haotian smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, the chief of the guard is related to the safety of the palace, and he has a great responsibility, since Du Bo is incompetent, as a general, I should also choose another merit for the king." ”

Lin Haotian has long wanted to eradicate Du Bo who is against him everywhere, but there has been no suitable excuse, this time Du Bo is even more excessive, he is so bold that he colludes with the queen to conspire to kill him, if he doesn't kill this thief, Lin Haotian feels that he should go to Buddhism.

The speed of his injury recovery was staggering, and by noon, Lin Haotian could already get out of bed and walk slowly, and when the military doctor gave him medicine, now his wound was only a red stain, and his skin and flesh had begun to heal.

This was the result of Lin Haotian's consumption of his spiritual energy to heal his wounds.

He didn't want to lie on the bed for a long time and wait for the wound to heal little by little, the battle of the Red Army was imminent, if he was bedridden at this critical moment, it would directly delay the time of the Jin State's battle against the Red Army, and it would also affect the confidence of the whole army to win.

After a brief lunch, when Lin Haotian was resting in the study, Shao Lin came.

"Your adult's injuries aren't serious, right?" Seeing that Lin Hao's weather was good, Shao Lin was very happy, and walked forward quickly to help him straighten the sleeping pillow on his body.

Lin Haotian smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a minor injury!" After a pause, he asked again: "Have you started interrogating Du Bo? The punishment can be a little heavier, let him do whatever he wants, convict him, and execute him." ”

Shao Lin lowered his head with an embarrassed face, took two steps back, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates are here to see your lord for this matter......!" Haven't been brought back yet. ”

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, stared at Shao Lin, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Not really!"

"Then why don't you arrest him?" "Yes...... It's because the queen blocked it, so ...... The subordinates dare not use the strong. ”

"The queen obstructed?" Lin Haotian, who was originally lying on his side, sat up and frowned.

The Empress said that Du Bo was responsible, but it was not a big mistake, and he could not be convicted for this incident. There was a pause. Shao Lin said again: "The queen's attitude is resolute, and her subordinates dare not contradict her, so she came back to ask the adults for instructions." ”

After listening to Shao Lin's words, Lin Haotian was upset for a while, he floated out of bed and picked up his coat at the same time. While saying, "Shao Lin, take your people and follow me into the palace." ”

"Adults can't. Shao Lin stepped forward to stop him and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency was assassinated by gangsters in the palace yesterday, and now the entire palace is panicked. ”

Lin Haotian's teeth itched with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and muttered, "Could it be that I can't do anything about him as the head of the guard?" He took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Shao Lin, no matter what method you use, whether it is open killing or assassination, in short, you must get rid of Du Bo." However, you are acting secretly. You can't let people know that you did it, and you can't have anything to do with me. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Shao Lin grinned secretly, but still agreed.

In fact, Du Bo is not so easy to kill, his own martial arts are very powerful, and most of the time he is in the palace. It's too hard to find an opportunity to kill him quietly.

Don't go past Lin Haotian, Shao Lin couldn't think of a way to be too good even if he broke his head, and after the end, he thought of a person. Wang Yu of the Lieutenant's Mansion.

Wang Yu is familiar with the situation in Wancheng, and his head is also extremely shrewd, so it is not wrong to kill Du Bo without leaving a trace, and ask him for advice.

When Shao Lin found Wang Yu, he startled the latter. Shao Lin is the leader of the demon system, whether it is a minister of the court or an ordinary person, no one wants to be approached by Shao Lin.

Wang Yu thought that he had made some mistake, but after seeing Shao Lin, he behaved politely, restrainedly, and nervously.

After Shao Lin expressed his intentions, Wang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: It turned out to be for this matter!

He was like a mirror in his heart, the demon underworld warrior wanted to kill Du Bo, this was definitely not Shao Lin's own intention, he must have received an order from the adult.

Wang Yu smiled and said: "With the strength of the demon martial artist, it is easy to kill Du Bo, General Shao came to ask the last general, this can kill the last general." ”

Shao Lin said quietly: "If you just kill him, it is indeed easy, but if you want to get rid of him without leaving a trace and unknown to others, it is not so simple." General Wang should also understand that Du Bo is an official in the palace, and once it is known that the Demon Warrior killed him, the reputation of the Demon Warrior will be damaged, but it will be implicated in the adult. ”

Wang Yu nodded and responded, "General Shao is extremely worried!"

As he spoke, he wandered back and forth in the room, turning his brain and pondering carefully. After pondering for a while, he smiled lightly and said: "Du Boqi has no hobbies, that is, he is not greedy for money, and he is not lustful. ”

Shao Lin said thoughtfully: "In this way, this person has no weaknesses?"

"Of course not. Wang Yu said with a smile: "This person attaches great importance to filial piety!"

"This seems to be an advantage, right?" Shao Lin looked at him provocatively.

"Strengths are often weaknesses. Wang Yu walked up to Shao Lin and said in a low voice: "Du cleared Du Bo's eldest son, there is also a son named Du Chong, this person likes to ride and shoot, and often goes out of the city to hunt in the suburbs, General Shao can let the brother of the demon warrior disguise himself as a robber, kidnap Du Chong, and then write a letter to Du Fu, so that Du Qing can personally bring the silver out of the city and return to Du Chong." Du Bo is so filial piety, he will never rest assured that his father will go into danger alone, and he will definitely accompany him when he goes out of the city to negotiate with the kidnappers. After they left the city, they arrived in a secluded and uninhabited place, and it was not too late for General Shao to kill again. ”

Shao Lin nodded as he listened, and when Wang Yu finished speaking, his eyes lit up and asked, "In this way, it is inevitable to kill Du Qing as well?"

"If General Shao doesn't want to leak the news, he must kill all the people present. If General Shao only wanted to kill Du Bo and didn't want to hurt the innocent, he definitely couldn't use the brother of the demon warrior. Wang Yu said: "There are a large number of dark demon masters near the capital, even a fool can guess that it was General Shao's subordinates who did it. ”

Shao Lin secretly said that it was reasonable! He frowned and muttered: "Du Qing is the general of the court, if he is also killed, I am afraid that the matter will be very big and difficult to end, but if you don't use the brother of the demon martial artist, then who is appropriate?"

"There are also candidates. Wang Yu smiled and said: "Could it be that General Shao has forgotten that the Lord issued a military conscription order not long ago and recruited a group of new martial arts masters? These people are all fresh faces, and they are dressed up as bandits, and no one will recognize them in the future." I've seen their skills, and if you pick out any person, they're not under Du Bo. It's easy to get rid of Du Bo together, why don't General Shao do it with them?"

Shao Lin's unchanged expression showed a rare smile, but after thinking about it, he was a little worried, and said, "I'm afraid that adults may not agree to this." ”

"Why do you need to go through the adults?" Wang Yu said, "These people don't have military ranks yet. General Shao's words, they dare not disobey, as long as the general gives the order, they will definitely do it. ”

Shao Lin arched his hand and said: "Thank you General Wang for your advice, I know what to do." ”

Wang Yu hurriedly bowed and saluted in return, saying, "General Shao is polite! When the time comes, the last general will also try his best to cooperate with General Shao." ”

Wang Yu taught him the method, and Shao Lin took advantage of Du Chong's opportunity to go out of the city to do business, and secretly kidnapped him. Then he was forced to write a letter to his family and send it to Du Qing's house, asking him for 20,000 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of gold.

When this letter arrived at Du Mansion, it immediately caused an uproar, and Du Mansion was like a fried pot.

It is true that Du Qing is a general, but his family wealth is not rich, although he has a holiday with Lin Haotian. But he is upright and an official. All the income is only on Yulu, except for the expenses of supporting the whole family of the Xiangfu, there is not much left, where can we make up such astronomical sums as 20,000 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of gold?

The old man was shocked, but he didn't lose his senses. While he ordered his family to go out to raise money, he sent someone to report to the lieutenant's palace, and he himself went to the palace to discuss with Du Bo how to solve the matter.

Du Bo was also shocked when he heard the news of his brother's kidnapping, and he couldn't stay in the palace anymore. followed his father and hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Du Qing and Du Bo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Yu had already been invited by the people of the General's Mansion.

Although Wang Yu is the deputy leader of the Lieutenant's Mansion, he is actually the real person in charge, and he knows the size of Wancheng well. In order to rescue his second son, Du Qing was very polite to Wang Yu and treated him as a guest.

Du Bo didn't have any extra nonsense, and after Wang Yu sat down, he asked bluntly: "In the dignified capital, there will be kidnappers appearing, I don't know who Lord Wang thinks the kidnappers are, and how to deal with this matter?"

"It's hard to say, the capital is not peaceful now. Wang Yu frowned, pretending to be worried, and said: "Two days ago, there were assassins who infiltrated the palace and stabbed adults!" After a pause, he continued: "General, General Du, presumably the two of you should also know that a large number of You people have gathered outside the capital recently, among which dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is inevitable that there will be outlaws who take risks for money. ”

He pushed the matter all the way away, and the basin was deducted on the heads of the people outside the city, and the deduction was reasonable, more than a million people, who dares to guarantee that there will be no lawbreakers among them?

Du Qing's face changed, and he asked urgently, "That...... In your opinion, Lord Wang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Wang Yu pretended to be silent for a while, and said quietly: "After all, money is something outside the body, but human life is a matter of heaven, I think, I will accept the conditions of the kidnappers first, give them all the gold and silver they demand, and wait for the redemption of Ling Gongzi, my lieutenant's mansion can also let go to investigate, I believe that within ten days, the ransom sent by the general will be recovered." ”

Of course, Du Bo was not satisfied with such an answer, thinking that Wang Yu did not do his best to do things, he snorted coldly and said: "I think, if your family is kidnapped by bandits, Lord Wang will never give such an irresponsible answer, right? As the head of the lieutenant's mansion, Lord Wang did not try to arrest the kidnappers, but asked us to give the kidnappers gold and silver first, but you deceived me that there is no one in the Du family?"

Wang Yu hurriedly shook his hand and said in a loud voice: "The lower official has no such intention, General Du has misunderstood the lower official! Now that Du Gongzi is in the hands of the kidnappers, if the lieutenant's mansion goes to search for the kidnappers, I am afraid that he will startle the snake, and if the kidnappers are forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, Du Gongzi has three longs and two shorts, and the lower officials can't afford this responsibility!"

Du Bo was about to speak, but Du Qing waved his hand to stop him and said, "Bo'er, what Lord Wang said is not unreasonable. As he spoke, he looked embarrassed and said to Wang Yu: "Lord Wang's method is feasible, but this general's mansion really can't make up so much gold and silver for a while, Lord Wang, you can see ......."

Wang Yu smiled lightly, and said in another point: The general is a loyal minister of a country, under one person, above ten thousand people, a mere 20,000 taels of silver plus 2,000 taels of gold, for the general, it should be a drop in the bucket, right?"

"Fart!" Before Du Qing could speak, Du Bo's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "My father is an official and has always been honest, where is there so much gold and silver in the family?"

"Hehe!" Wang Yu smiled leisurely and said, "General Du, don't be angry, after all, the lower officials don't know the truth." ”

After pondering for a moment, he said, "In this case, if the general is really in trouble about the ransom, the subordinate can report to the lord and ask the lord for help." ”

"It would be great if General Lin was willing to help. Du Qing looked at Du Bo and said worriedly: "It's just that General Lin may not be able to help the old minister!"

"This general, please rest assured, my lord has always been clear about public and private, and he will never stand idly by when Ling Gongzi is in danger. Wang Yu Zhengse said.

"In this way, the old man has thanked Lord Wang first!" Du Qing looked excited, stood up, and bowed to the ground.

"Oh, the general is polite, kill the lower official!" Wang Yu also hurriedly stood up and saluted Du Qingbi respectfully.

Du Bo watched coldly, and always felt that Wang Yu was a little uncomfortable, but where was the problem, he couldn't say it clearly for a while.

Let's say Wang Yu, don't pass Du Qing and Du Bo father and son, leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, and immediately go to the palace to ask Lin Haotian for money.

Lin Haotian had no idea about Shao Lin and Wang Yu's conspiracy, and when he heard that Du Qing's second son had been kidnapped, he was also secretly surprised, frowning and asking, "Who did it?"

Wang Yu's eyes rolled, and he said in a non-trivial manner: "The state affairs are busy, the adults work hard, and the doppelgangers are flawless, so why should the adults bother to ask?"

20,000 taels of silver, plus 2,000 taels of gold, this is still called a trivial matter? But how smart Lin Haotian is, since Wang Yu said so, there must be another hidden secret in it, and it is not very clean The kind of hidden secret, such a thing, it is really better to know the Tao than not to know the Dao.

He smiled slightly, nodded and replied: "Okay! Since General Wang said so, I just asked, the gold and silver you mentioned can be lent to Du Qing, and you can take my hand and ask Master Xiao to mention it." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Wang Yu replied without saying anything.

Lin Haotian picked up the pen and was about to write an edict to Xiao Xuan, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he immediately changed Xiao Xuan's name to Peng Qian, and said: "This money should not be taken out of the treasury, but from the general's mansion! You go to Lord Peng and ask Lord Peng to withdraw gold and silver from the treasury." ”

"My lord sees it!" Wang Yu bowed his hand, he also felt that such a 'dirty matter' should not be recorded in the treasury, and it was most appropriate for the general's palace to pay for it. (To be continued......)
