Chapter 6: An Unexpected Reunion
Teng Hong tried to keep the smirk on his face, a little cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, and he tried his best not to glance to the east side.
"Lord Wang, these are all rumors of killing a thousand knives, and they must not be believed. The lower officials should do their best to arrest the gangsters. Teng Hong then asked with a smile, "I don't know why the prince came to Liangzhou this time?" ”
"Why this king is here, Teng Gong really doesn't know?" Li Yu raised his head, and a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Father ordered this king to personally escort something to Liangzhou, isn't Teng Gong curious?" ”
Teng Hong smiled and didn't make a sound, but his eyes had secretly drifted to the east.
Li Yu took his movements into his eyes.
"But Teng Gong doesn't need to be anxious, this king has delivered this thing safely, and Teng Gong will know later."
Teng Hong was slightly stunned, and his voice should have been, but a thousand waves had already stirred up in his heart, thinking that a catastrophe was coming.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Yu saw that the others had no action, very boring, and was about to get up and leave the table, when the exclamations of the two ladies suddenly sounded in the room, and when he looked back, he saw Teng Hong lying on the wine table in a drowsy and weak manner, his shoulders trembling, and his mouth foaming.
Li Yu immediately got up to check Teng Hong's situation, his snort was weak, and the secret was not good.
"Kang Ming, Kang Tai!"
Two figures appeared like lightning from outside the door.
"Show me! No one can move, no one can leave this room. Li Yu said sharply.
Li Yu walked out of the door, thinking about the location of the wing room where Shen Yining was just now, and quickly jumped up to the second floor of Yanqing Pavilion. If Shen Niangzi hadn't left, Teng Hong might still be saved.
Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door hard, and the three people in the room were shocked.
"Dare to ask if Shen Niangzi is there? Li has an urgent matter. ”
Before Shen Yining could answer, Lang Jun outside the door had already pushed the door in.
Shen Yining watched Li Yu walk straight in front of him, and was about to pull himself up, when he suddenly paused and asked, "Do you have a hat and a medicine box?" ”
Shen Yining nodded at a loss, and saw Qi neatly pick up the hat from the Hu chair, lift the medicine box, and walk out holding his wrist.
For some reason, Shen Yining felt that the place where the skin of the two touched was slightly hot.
When entering the warm pavilion, through the thin curtain of the hat, Shen Yining could see that all the ladies were panicked and gossiping. After seeing himself and Li Langjun come in together, everyone was suddenly silent.
Before he could think about it, he saw the man lying on the ground, and immediately understood why he had come to find him.
Teng Hong still has white foam coming out of his mouth and nose, his snort is weak, but his pulse is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which is a little strange. Shen Yining put Teng Hongping on the ground, first stuffed a solid strip of white cloth in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue by mistake due to madness, and then applied a needle to each of his Baihui acupoints and Tianming acupoints.
Shen Yining got up and walked in front of Li Yu and explained the situation in a low voice.
But half an hour later, Teng Hong was already lying in a small room next door. The room is beautifully furnished, and it is thought that Zhou's mother prepared it in advance for the officials who need to stay overnight.
Shen Yining gave Teng Hong a large chest pill to suppress his blood surge, and then applied three needles each to Baihui acupoint, Tianming acupoint and Zuxia acupoint. Now the pulse has eased, but it is still fast and slow. He then took off his robe and looked for minor injuries.
"Shen Niangzi, how is Teng Thorn History?"
Shen Yining was shocked in his heart, this person turned out to be Shi Tenghong, the assassin of Liangzhou.
"If it's a quarter of an hour late, I'm afraid I'll be powerless. Teng Tingshi's sudden illness seems to have come a little strangely. ”
Shen Yining was not surprised when he looked at him, as if he had expected it.
"Teng Tingshi's sudden illness, at first glance, seems to be a heart attack caused by heavy drinking, heart surge, and rapid breathing, well, that is, wheezing. However, if it is a disease of asthma and seizure, its pulse should be hot and rapid, and there are frequent blockages, but the pulse of Teng Thorn Shi is not like this, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, and occasionally weak, as if someone did it deliberately. Therefore, I carefully examined Teng Tingshi's body and found that there were subtle needle holes in the Mingmen and Zhiyang points at the back of his waist. It should be that Teng Tingshi has taken some Zhiyang things in the past two days, and he drank a lot of strong wine tonight, and then someone deliberately applied acupuncture to the Mingmen and Zhiyang points on his lower back, so that his blood and qi surged, the evil qi inverted, and the brain was bruised. ”
Li Yu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "When will Teng Tingshi wake up?" ”
"It's hard to say. Mild cases are hemiplegic, and severe cases are paralysis and madness. ”
The person who committed this murder did not intend to leave any leeway, if she hadn't arrived in time, this Teng Thorn Shi was afraid that he would have been killed without leaving a trace.
Li Yu's eyes were Lingran, if the dignified Liangzhou assassin died at the banquet that entertained him, it would definitely cause an uproar in the court. The father is suspicious, and if a person with a heart says a few words in front of his father, he will no longer trust himself so much, and the goal of separation will be achieved.
If Hu Yingwei persuaded his father to send another person, whether it was to serve as the assassin or the overseer, there would be too many variables in sending troops to Beidi this time. This plan really kills two birds with one stone!
"Li Langjun, the person who can do this must be at tonight's banquet, and the silver needle is very likely to be hidden on his body."
Li Yu paused and smiled.
"Shen Niangzi, do you want to find the real murderer with Li?"
Shen Yining nodded without hesitation, in fact, he was also very curious, who in this Yanqing Pavilion had such a clever and precise needle technique.
"But later, Mrs. Shen, no matter what you hear, don't be surprised, just follow me."
Shen Yining looked confused, what was there to be surprised.
Li Yu ordered a guard to stay in the small room, and then led Shen Yining to the warm pavilion.
Inside the warm pavilion.
Zhou's mother was full of sadness, and when she saw Li Yu coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Yu's sleeve, but before she could touch it, she was forcibly blocked back by a guard.
Li Yu turned sideways slightly, leaving no trace behind Shen Yining, so as not to hurt the little lady by mistake.
"The slave family has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the slave family is the principal in this pavilion, Mother Zhou."
Zhou's mother was afraid of being a little sluggish, and couldn't wait to report her identity.
Shen Yining couldn't believe his ears, what! His Royal Highness the King of Qi?!
Oh my God! He actually offended the legendary unruly and ruthless Qi King Li Yu!
This time he was either stabbed to death, or he was "given to death"!
Li Yu looked back at the little lady behind him, and saw that the little lady looked uncertain, her face was blue and white for a while, and the two good-looking crescent eyebrows were tangled into two twists, which was very interesting.
"Please ask Mother Zhou to prepare a side room for this king, everyone in this warm pavilion, this king will interrogate and search their bodies one by one."
As soon as these words came out, the ladies looked panicked and whispered.
Dong Changshi, Cao Sima and Zhang Xiaowei were also slightly stunned.
"The king has determined that Teng Gong was killed by thieves, and now his life hangs by a thread. First, if the murderer is not found for a day, the business of Yanqing Pavilion will not be able to do it for a day. Second, it is also difficult for Dong Changshi and Cao Sima to explain clearly to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely punish them heavily. However, if the real culprit can be found, the king will personally tell the saint the truth, and innocent people will not be implicated. Dong Changshi, Cao Sima, Zhang Xiaowei, look at this ......"
