(33) Assassination
The residence of the general army of Luo County.
A luxurious room surrounded by rising smoke.
On the windowsill, a man in a green shirt looked out over the railing.
The man's handsome eyebrows, his deeply contoured face was full of worry, and from time to time he looked back at the man who was still unconscious on the bed in the room, and let out a slight sigh.
I've been in a coma for a night, although Lang Zhong has seen it, and it's okay to say that it's a flesh injury, but why haven't you woken up yet?
He held the carved railing carved with the entangled plum, and his five fingers were slightly forced.
This matter is definitely not simple, is it really a coincidence that after Bai Zhang's sudden death on the street, the arresters came to pick up people so quickly? Although yesterday was a blessing event, the arresters would also strengthen their vigilance, such as patrolling the streets, but how could they rush to the scene immediately after the crime, as if they had known that there would be a murder in that part of the street.
According to Miss Fu, Lu Moyu will be unconscious because one of the officials who tortured him hit him on the head, and if he beats a prisoner in the yamen, he should also be beaten on the buttocks, why did this official beat him on the head, as if he wanted to put him to death?
This matter was full of suspicions, and he seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy in it.
At present, the only way to talk about it is to wait for the person in bed to come to his senses.
He turned around and looked at the Luohan bed inlaid with gold and jade, and the quiet figure on the bed looked like a silhouette in the snow-white gauze tent.
He's safe and sound!
He was thinking when he saw a groan from the figure on the bed.
"Master Lu!" he rushed to his bedside.
The man on the bed opened his closed eyes, his head was wrapped in a white cloth, but his face was no longer as pale as in the county office, with a faint trace of blood.
He turned his head and stared at the man in the green shirt who had rushed to his bedside.
"General Green Cockroach!" said the man on the bed weakly.
This title made the man who ran to the bedside stunned.
He froze there, his pupils constricting sharply, as if the title had struck him like lightning.
The blood in his whole body rushed to the top of his head when he heard that name, and his face showed an uncontrollable excitement, and he excitedly swept his eyes back and forth on the face of the person on the bed, as if to determine something very important.
"My head is very heavy and heavy, and my body is very painful, as if I have been beaten hard, and my bones are about to fall apart, why is this?"
Bang -
It was the sound of one knee on the ground, and the excited man in front of the bed slammed his knees, and raised his voice with a mixture of joy and sorrow: "The last general knocks on the emperor, the last general is too late to save the driver, please forgive the emperor!"
"General Qingyan, what are you guilty of. The man on the bed turned his head, shook his head, and said, "You can be flat!"
"Your Majesty, you have finally regained your memory!" said Qing Yan as he stood up and said happily.
The person on the bed originally wanted to sit up, but as soon as his buttocks moved, the pain was incomparable, and he couldn't help screaming in pain, but he turned over slightly, facing Li Huanyi.
He glanced at the unfamiliar surroundings and asked suspiciously, "Where is this?"
"The General Military Mansion of Luo County. ”
"Why am I in the General Soldier's Mansion?" the man said.
"It's a long story, don't you remember at all, Your Majesty?"
"What do you remember?"
"You were involved in a murder during your amnesia and killed a man named Bai Xuan. ”
The emperor was shocked, "Murder?"
"Not only did you get involved in a murder case, but you were also arrested and taken to the county office, and you almost died under the sticks. ”
The emperor's face sank, and he slammed his palm on the edge of the bed, "Who dares to kill me?"
"The county magistrate of Luojun and the prefect of Luojun, they not only tortured the emperor, but also tried to kill His Majesty with a cane on the spot, and they beat you with this injury. ”
"Bastard!" The emperor's face showed a hint of fierceness, and he shouted fiercely: "Qing Yan, I ordered you to immediately bring people to arrest them to see me, I will kill them!"
Li Huanyi stopped: "The last general thinks it is impossible. ”
"Why?"
"I'm afraid there is a lot of work behind this matter. "Li Huanyi's face showed a hint of condensation," Bai Xuan died violently on the street, died under the poison needle, the arresters seemed to know in advance, and quickly arrested Your Majesty not long after Bai Zhang's death; when the Luojun county order tried the case, not only did he not trace the source of the poison needle, but also instructed the officials to torture you to torture you into a trick, as if you would not stop if you were not killed, the county order to execute the murderer should also be reported to the court first, and the emperor would come up for a review, why did he want to execute you so quickly regardless of the law, is there any hidden truth behind this, or is there actually someone behind him who supports him? Moreover, the official who beat the emperor was also very strange, this board rushed up to the emperor's head when he beat it, this was not to extort a confession, but to take the emperor's life, how could a mere official dare to be so bold, he was not afraid of being convicted of beating someone to death on the spot? Therefore, the last general thought that there was a big deal behind this matter, and if the emperor sent someone to arrest them now, he would definitely startle the other party and arouse the vigilance of the other party. Then, the people behind them will be on guard, and it will be difficult to catch them again. ”
"You mean that this incident was premeditated, and someone premeditated me to kill someone, and then bought the county to kill me on the spot?"
"Yes, because the emperor has lost his memory and doesn't know anything about his true identity, if he takes advantage of this to kill you under the cane, he can do it without anyone knowing, so that the only person who dies is an unidentified ordinary person, no one will think that it is the emperor who has lost his memory. This is also the fundamental reason why when the magistrate learned that you might be the son of the prime minister, not only did he not believe it, but insisted that you were an impostor liar. ”
"What a vicious idea!" sighed the emperor.
The emperor's eyes faded from excitement in these words, and gradually calmed down, "What does the general think I should do?"
"Go back to Xudu first. ”
"What's wrong with Xu Du?"
"The emperor doesn't know, since the emperor left the palace privately, because the emperor has not been in court for more than half a month, the turmoil in Beijing, all kinds of rumors have become more and more intense, some rumors say that the emperor is seriously ill and dying, and some say that the emperor is no longer in Xudu, and there are even rumors that the emperor has ......" Li Huanyi hesitated for a moment when he said this, and finally said truthfully, "Say you...... It's dead!"
"Presumptuous!" the emperor was furious, he slammed the edge of the bed, "You dare to curse me to die early!
Li Huanyi said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, this is a rumor, there is no way to find out." It was precisely because he heard this rumor that the last general was worried that he quickly rushed to Luojun and went around to inquire about the whereabouts of the emperor. ”
The emperor was silent with hatred, but his handsome face was cloudy, and he had the calm before the hurricane hit.
Li Huanyi glanced at his face and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you came to this Luo County to meet a stranger?"
