Chapter 143: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet but the Wind Doesn't Stop
Shen Pu walked out of the house with some reluctance, and sure enough, he saw a county official standing in the distance.
"The villain was ordered by the county order and Lord Bao to invite Lord Shen to the county government to discuss matters." When the official saw Shen Pu coming out, he walked over quickly and said.
Shen Pu glanced down at the clothes on his body, and remembered that before he came here, he didn't have an official uniform at all, so he had to tidy up and leave with the officials.
As soon as Shen Pu left, Fei Yong entered Fei Caihe's room.
"Little sister's move will not shake the status of this black head in the emperor's heart." Fei Yong said, "Moreover, this concubine died in the foolish brother's mansion, if it is investigated, the foolish brother may cause trouble again." ”
"The little sister is also helpless, but this Concubine Li and Yu Lun know too much." Fei Caihe comforted, "Brother just rest assured, if Banzai is investigated, the younger sister will prove it for you, and will never implicate the elder brother." ”
Fei Yong thought about it.
"Brother Fool was driven out of the capital by the emperor and came to this bitter cold place, all because of this bag of black heads, Brother Fool deliberately left this guy here."
Fei Caihe was taken aback.
Although the elder brother was expelled from the capital, the younger sister saw that everything had not changed for the elder brother, but was more comfortable than when she was in Beijing. Although it is hateful to wrap up blackheads, the elder brother must not do it at this time, so as not to arouse suspicion. In the future, the little sister has her own opinions, and she wants the black head to pay the price. ”
Seeing that Fei Caihe disagreed with his idea, Fei Yong's eyes rolled, he didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Bao Zheng is dead, even if the emperor guesses that he did it, with his little sister on the side, it is expected that the emperor will not offend his most beloved woman because of a dead person.
What he is worried about now is Lu Bu, and getting rid of him is the premise of getting rid of Bao Zheng.
At this time, Shen Pu had already come to the county office.
Lord Bao and the prefectural order were waiting in the lobby.
"Lord Shen followed the imperial concubine Niangniang back to his hometown this time, and he was frightened along the way, and your county specially invited the adults to come over for the banquet, and the right to suppress the shock." Master Bao said.
"Thank you, both of you." Shen Pu said hurriedly.
Accompanied by the two prefects, the prefectural order was particularly nervous.
However, Bao Zheng and Shen Pu didn't care.
"This official will go back to Beijing tomorrow to resume the order, although the murderers are all dead, but the criminal evidence has been confirmed, Bao Zhengxing lives up to the trust of long live." Bao Zheng said.
Shen Pu was slightly surprised.
"Your Excellency is saying, is that Yu Lun no longer there?"
Bao Zheng nodded, pretending to be helpless.
"I think these two people were once favored and trusted people around Banzai, especially the concubine Niangniang, who was the most trusted by the concubine, and even the palace maids around her could walk in the concubine's palace at will. It is really hateful to be so gracious and yet to do such a disobedient thing. To the regret of the officer, he was not able to send him under the guillotine. ”
Shen Pu didn't speak.
Jiang Shuping's death, Shen Pu had never doubted it, but this Yu Lun also died at the same time, which made him a little nervous.
Master Bao observed the change in Shen Pu's expression.
"Does Lord Shen have any suspicions about the suicide of these two people?"
"Where." Shen Pu's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, "Lord Bao is aware of everything, how dare the lower officials get an axe in front of the adults." ”
Master Bao just smiled, and then sighed a little exaggeratedly.
"Both of them deserve it, and I don't want to delay this matter any longer. I also hope that after Lord Shen returns home, he will thank Uncle Guo for his hospitality on my behalf, and inform the imperial concubine on behalf of the official that he will forgive the official for his official duties and cannot resign in person. ”
"Lord Bao is polite, the lower official must return on behalf of the adult." Shen Pu put his mind at ease. But I thought in my heart that I must find my cousin to ask about it after I go back.
Around the time of the second watch, the three of them got up separately, and Shen Pu was also ready to leave.
At this moment, a servant guarding the gate suddenly shouted: "Who, why do you want to trespass on the yamen?" ”
No answer was heard, but there was a muffled sound, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
A masked man in black flashed at the entrance of the lobby and tried to force his way in, but was stopped by two officials with steel knives.
The man in black was holding a simple knife in his hand, looking like he was righteous.
"Come on, protect the two adults." The county magistrate reacted first and shouted.
As his voice landed, two more black shadows appeared, but they were not the officials of the county government and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, but the other two masked murderers.
The three of them quickly leaned together, and the three steel knives waved, and in the blink of an eye, the two officials had been forced to retreat to both sides of the gate.
Three people entered the lobby.
"Two adults, follow me to the back." The county commander panicked, pulled up Lord Bao and Shen Pu and was about to run back.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed out from behind the screen, swept past the three people like a wind, and rushed towards the approaching three people.
"Tang Zhuangshi must not leave without permission." Bao Zheng shouted.
The person who came was Lu Bu.
The steel knives in the hands of the three masked men were instantly knocked away, and one of them was kicked out of the gate by Lu Bu.
"Tang Zhuangshi can't catch up." Seeing that Lu Bu chased straight out, Bao Zheng shouted again.
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and stopped.
At this time, several other officials and officials also rushed over.
"Fortunately, the three adults are safe." An errand officer walked over.
"Tell everyone quickly, don't leave the county government without permission." Bao Zheng commanded.
Shen Pu wiped the cold sweat on his face, a little strange, looking at the appearance of this bag of adults, it seems that he had expected that something would happen tonight.
Lu Bu carried the halberd around the courtyard, but did not find anything abnormal, and was about to continue to return to the screen as instructed, but suddenly stopped.
Outside the high wall, there was the sound of scrambled footsteps.
Judging by the sound alone, there are probably more than a dozen people coming.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, more than a dozen black shadows jumped off the wall.
Like the three of them just now, they barely hesitated, each brandishing their knives and rushing straight towards the lobby.
The officials of the county government and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion also quickly assembled and blocked the door of the lobby, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides fell into a scuffle.
The combat strength of these people does not seem to be very strong, and in a few moments, most of them have been injured.
With a whistle, the men began to evacuate.
"Wait for Hugh to go." Lu Bu was enraged and strode out.
"Hurry up and ask Tang Zhuangshi to come back, don't go far." Bao Zheng saw that Lu Bu really chased him out this time, and hurriedly ordered.
A servant followed Lu Bu out of the gate.
It was pitch black outside, and only a few black shadows could be faintly seen, the official stopped, shouted, and suddenly, a crisp sound penetrated into the ears, and then, a row of feather arrows pierced the darkness and roared.
The official threw away the steel knife in his hand and fell headlong.
In the darkness, more than a dozen people who had fled suddenly turned back. As soon as he came to the side of the officer, a figure flashed at the corner of the high wall, and his movements were not even slower than the feather arrows just now.
The wind was blowing, the white light was flickering, and in an instant, four or five people had fallen to the ground.
"Bold horseman, how dare you hurt people with secret arrows!"
Lu Bu chased not far away, and remembered Master Bao's order not to leave the county office, so he stopped and planned to go back. Unexpectedly, this official followed and took an arrow for himself by mistake.
