Chapter 32: The Night with Undercurrents
Li Linfu saw the old thing talking, lengthy and entangled, so he made a fuss, did not finish a word, and fell to the ground, Li Linfu was extremely disgusted in his heart.
Directly said: "Guo Jing, as the chief imperial doctor, you speak sticky, is this fooling me Li Linfu, or is it a mess in your mind?" Delay my son's condition, can you afford to be guilty? ”
Guo Jing kept confessing and said: "The old man is guilty, the old man is incompetent, Lord Li, the second son is seriously ill, all the means of the hospital have been exhausted, it is no longer human, and the medicine can be treated, Lord Li, the old man can't bear the pain?" ”
Li Linfu stood up in shock and shouted hoarsely: "You said that my jaw is no longer saved? You repeat? ”
Guo Jing stood up tremblingly and said, "The kidneys are rushing, the essence and blood are depleted, and there is no way to return to the sky, Lord Li?" ”
Li Linfu was furious, and kicked Guo Jing in the abdomen directly, poor chief physician, was kicked over, rolled around, and couldn't get up.
"Drag it out," Li Linfu shouted.
The two guards came in immediately and dragged Guo Jing out, and there was already another imperial doctor who caught him at the door, carried him to the back, and rescued him.
Li Linfu only felt dizzy, the world was spinning in front of him, Li Wen and Wang Ji hugged left and right, and called loudly, and for a while, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos.
The imperial doctor came over, pinched people again, fed water again, and tossed for a while before Li Linfu woke up leisurely.
The first thing I said when I woke up was, "How's Jaw?" Tell me about it? ”
Li Wen and Wang Gong lowered their heads, looking depressed, and they didn't dare to look at Li Linfu at all.
Li Linfu sighed and said: "If there are three long and two short jaws, what does it mean for me to live?" Kill the old man. ”
Not to mention Li Linfu, even in the backyard, there are groups of wives and concubines and maids, seeing this situation, everyone is heartbroken, they want to cry but don't dare to cry, they are all suffocated and their faces are red.
Even the men and women who usually don't get along with Li Jaw and calculate and complain, at this time, they also let go of their resentment, like a cat crying a mouse, and let the tears flow.
Decoction, pills, acupuncture, massage, all the tricks that the doctors could use were used, and Li Jaw basically did not react.
Waiting for death is more like an unfathomable technical job!
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, a guard from the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly came in from outside and gave Li Wen a look, and Li Wen saw that Li Linfu had his eyes closed, and hurriedly went out quietly.
The two muttered a few words under the corridor, and Li Linfu shouted in a deep voice: "What do you have to say, what are you doing sneakily?" ”
The two hurriedly came in, and the guard arched his hand and said: "My lord, the guards of our Prime Minister's Mansion, in cooperation with the Criminal Department, checked overnight, and got a new situation, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
Li Linfu opened his tired eyes and said lightly: "If there is anything else that should not be said, say it quickly." ”
The guard glanced at Li Wen and said, "My lord, after the assassination last night, the guard battalion immediately blocked Chang'an Avenue and all the nearby streets for interception and investigation,"
Li Linfu shouted: "Let's talk about the point." ”
The guard said: "Yes, my lord, during the investigation, I found a person, he came from Chang'an Street, passed through Zhuque Street, and later went to Chengtianmen Hengjie 5th Road. This person is very suspicious. ”
"There is such a thing, why were people not detained at that time? Who is he? Why don't you catch me? Li Linfu sat up straight in surprise, staring at the guard with resentful eyes, and the guard was so frightened that he trembled.
The guard hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, no one dares to stop this person, let alone detain him." ”
Li Linfu shouted: ", even if it is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, against me Li Linfu, I have to meet with him, say quickly, who is it?" ”
The guard was embarrassed and said: "It's a prince, the deputy general of the guard battalion Zuo Li let him go, and he also used General Zuo's order flag to pass along the way?" ”
"The Prince? Escort battalion to the left? Li Linfu's face changed strangely, and he sat down with a deep groan.
"Which prince?" Li Linfu asked.
"It's the twenty-first prince, called Li Mu, according to the time analysis, when the crime occurred, he happened to pass by the scene of the crime." The guard said.
"Twenty-one prince Li Mu? Is it him again? Such a coincidence? Could it be that this was a premeditated assassination by the guard battalion and the prince's participation? Li Linfu muttered to himself and gasped.
If Li Mu really participated in the assassination, and the guard battalion let Li Mu go again, what does it mean?
Li Linfu felt fear, behind the prince and the guard battalion, who was instigating? Who else has this power but the one on high?
Does the emperor want to move me? With this means, how is it possible?
Or is it the crown prince Li Heng? He knows that I pamper Jaw, attack my soft underbelly, and then take advantage of my delirium to knock me down?
Li Linfu suddenly felt that this assassination case was complex and secretive, and there were countless dangers hidden.
Li Linfu thought calmly for a while, and said: "This matter is strictly confidential, but immediately increase the surveillance of the crown prince and the twenty-first prince, and if there is any abnormality, come back and report it immediately, and you must not act rashly." ”
"Yes." The guard said yes and hurriedly retreated.
Li Wen and Wang Fei were also shocked when they heard it, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and when the guards left, Wang Fei asked nervously: "Enxiang, this matter is really extraordinary, what is the best way for Enxiang to deal with it?" ”
Li Linfu said: "Good policy? If it is really the one who is high up, if you want to defeat me, any strategy is in vain, you can only stick out your head and send it to him, and after a while, I will ask him personally. ”
Wang Ji said worriedly: "What if not? Eun Xiang also planned in advance. ”
Li Linfu said: "If not, then this time, I will be confident, and the emperor Laozi, I want an explanation, if someone wants to kill my son, I will kill his whole family." ”
Wang Ji was speechless, and Li Wen didn't dare to interject, and they all stood in a daze, waiting for Li Linfu's order.
Li Linfu stared at the darkness outside the window, was silent for a while, and said: "Li Wen, the life and death of Jaw Er will be handed over to you, Ji Wen and Luo Xishuang, if you don't find a miracle doctor, you will immediately offer a heavy reward, as long as you can save Jaw Er, give him whatever you want." ”
Li Wen agreed and went out, Li Linfu said to Wang Jie: "Let's go, you and I will go to the Moon Court, and we will plan carefully to advance and retreat." ”
The undercurrent of the Prime Minister's Mansion surging overnight had no effect on Li Mu.
Li Mu was in the study in the front yard, concentrating on drawing, more than an hour later, Zhou Qiang and Xu Renjie came over, Li Mu asked about the preparation of the supervision, and the two said that everything was ready only to owe Dongfeng.
Li Mu handed over the drawings to the two of them, asked them to meet He Biao as soon as possible, and then went to see Master Kong and deal with the good things he said yesterday. By the way, hand over the carriage and horses to the two.
The two drove the carriage and left quickly, Li Mu was in a good mood, strolled around the backyard, and near the back wall, Li Mu found that there were three salt wells.
The salt wells are covered with wooden covers, Li Mu opened the covers, checked them, and found that the salt wells are fifty or sixty centimeters in diameter, and they are bottomless.
Li Mu estimated that this was specially used to observe the hydrology of salt wells, and now that the salt wells have dried up, they have naturally lost the value of observation.
Li Mu turned around and came back, approached the window where Aunt Gongsun was recuperating, and listened to the movement inside for a while.
Didn't hear anything, Li Mu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this woman was sleeping, and there was no sound at all?
It is said that women who sleep particularly quietly like to be cranky the most, similar to sullen men.
Aunt Gongsun is almost thirty, she has never married a man, she seems to be quiet, and her heart should be overturned, very frizzy, right?
Li Mu had all kinds of bad thoughts, and then he couldn't help but snicker.
Beautiful older leftover girl, who will save you?
Li Mu snickered, turned around, and directly crashed into a woman's arms.
Li Mu screamed in fright.
When Fu Xianyue stood behind him, Li Mu didn't feel it.
Fu Xianyue's face was red, and she hurriedly retreated, and said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, what are you looking at?" Smiling, it's so strange, no one has been in this room for a long time. ”
Li Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, and the lie immediately blurted out: "Me, is it strange?" Oh, as soon as I heard it, there seemed to be a rat fighting inside, so I listened to it for a while. ”
"Ah, mouse, I'm scared to death, go quickly," Fu Xianyue said in a panic, and involuntarily reached out and pulled Li Mu.
The two took a few steps forward, and Fu Xianyue reacted, hurriedly let go, lowered her head, trotted, and went to the front yard.
Li Mu coughed loudly twice, as if he was reminding Aunt Gongsun, and as if he was apologizing to Aunt Gongsun, and said that there were rats fighting in the house, and Aunt Gongsun must have heard it, and she didn't know how angry she was.
