Chapter 240: One Stone and a Thousand Waves
"Childe!"
Chen Fugui, who heard the movement behind him, lifted the curtain and was shocked when he saw Xia Jingyun hit the arrow.
"Let's go!"
Xia Jingyun fell on his back in the carriage, his face turned pale in pain, and he spoke in a difficult voice.
Fortunately, it is the right chest, if it is the left chest, I am afraid that my life will be gone!
Chen Fugui immediately whipped the horse's buttocks, the horse galloped wildly, and in the dense sound of hooves, the carriage disappeared into the night with a crazy bump!
A few sharp arrows landed in the air, nailed into the cracks of the stone slabs, and the tails of the arrows trembled incessantly.
"Your Majesty! Xuanhu is the first to ask to see! ”
Emperor Chongning was happily pondering that now that his purse is bulging, he has more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of money left, and he wants to toss something, when he suddenly heard Gao Yi's report, his brows furrowed, but he also knew that Xuanhu must have something important to come in so late, so he said: "Let him come in." ”
Xuanhu, dressed in black, hurriedly walked in, and while saluting, he said directly: "Your Majesty, Xia Jingyun was assassinated on the way back to his house!" ”
"What?"
Emperor Chongning stood up, "How are the people?" ”
Xuanhu said: "The incident happened suddenly, his guards escorted him and escaped, and the people of the Black Ice Platform have already launched a hunt for the murderer according to the situation at the scene. Chen personally went to check the situation, Xia Gongzi was hit by an arrow in his right chest, fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous, and there was no danger of life for the time being, but the injury was not light, and the person was already unconscious. ”
The concern in Emperor Chongning's eyes quietly turned into a thick murderous aura, "In Zhongjing City, the person who assassinated me is so daring!" ”
He glanced at the silver ticket still on the table, and said coldly: "Xuanhu! Immediately solve the case, no matter who is involved, give me a thorough investigation! Remember, I want the truth, not the result! ”
Xuanhu's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best!" ”
After Xuanhu left, the anger on Emperor Chongning's face still did not dissipate, and his face showed a cold light, "Some people are afraid that they have lived a stable life for a long time, and they have forgotten how their good life came!" ”
——
Xia Jingyun was assassinated!
Just when the rumor of [Qian Gongzi was stupid and defeated, and Xia Gongzi's clever hand was defeated] intensified, this amazing news was instantly smashed into the big dye vat of Zhongjing City like a boulder, and the colorful water scattered and splashed in all directions.
The students who gathered in Beijing from various states were surprised, and Xu Dapeng and Zeng Jimin and other Surabaya Prefecture lifters even went directly to the gate of Jiang'an Hou's Mansion and wanted to visit in person;
The officials of Jingzhao Mansion quickly poured out of the nest, and together with the Black Ice Terrace, they searched carefully, not letting go of any clues;
Wei Yuanzhi, Wang Ruoshui and others came to the door together, worried and concerned;
The British Gong Lu Rusong was in a good mood, drank a few more glasses, and when he learned that he was not dead, he was full of regret;
Although Concubine Shu also went to Changle Palace to condole, after going back, Xu was really empathetic and too sad, so she had to borrow wine to drown her sorrows and drank half a pot of wine;
Concubine De came to Emperor Chongning and knelt down to ask him to administer justice for his brother;
The Ministry of Rites said that the assassination of Juzi was a serious provocation to the order of Chunqiu;
The center said that Zhongjing City is the best place in the world, and there is such a thing, which must be investigated and severely punished;
So Emperor Chongning ordered the Criminal Department and Heibing Tai to investigate the matter and solve the case within a time limit.
In such an atmosphere, everyone set their eyes on the mansion in Xicheng and the Qin family, which was itself in the eye of the storm.
Among all the speculations, Qin Yuwen, the eldest son of the Qin family, is the most likely master.
"Rebel! I neglected to discipline you on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to make such a big mistake! ”
In the main hall of the Qin family, the contemporary head of the Qin family stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Yuwen who was kneeling in the hall, so angry that his hands were trembling.
Qin Yuwen's expression was no longer as sloppy as before, with a little panic and solemnity, "It's really not me!" ”
"And quibble! Now that the Qin family's past feelings are still a little useful, the Criminal Department and the Black Ice Platform haven't come to get people yet! If you don't hurry up and confess, your father will take you to turn yourself in, and you can still get a leniency! ”
Mrs. Qin also wiped her tears on the side, "Son! Tell the truth, let's figure it out together, this level is not unpassable! ”
Qin Yuwen's tone was high, "I said it wasn't me!" ”
"Rebel, you are going to drag the Qin family to your funeral! I'll beat you to death! ”
Father Qin was so angry that he picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it towards Qin Yuwen's head, the teacup exploded on Qin Yuwen's forehead, the tea soup and fragments splashed together, and blood slowly flowed from the wound.
"Stop!"
At this moment, the old head of the Qin family walked over with a cane, with a calm face, "The child said that it wasn't him, is there a father like you?" ”
"Father!" The head of the Qin family was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "It's all at this time, you are still used to him, this is how he was so used to being so lawless by you, and he actually did such a thing!" ”
The old master took a cane, blew his beard and glared, "Rebel!" Are you still complaining about being a father? Although my good grandson is indeed suspicious, why must he be assumed to be him? What about the evidence? ”
"If there is evidence, it is not me who came to him, it is the Criminal Department and the Black Ice Platform who came to him! He confessed earlier, I can still go and plead with His Majesty and Concubine De to fight for leniency, otherwise it will be too late! ”
"But he's already said it's not him! When you are the son you raised, don't you even have this bit of proportion? The Qin family has never seen any storms, so you have to force your son to admit what he didn't do, and bow your head to a fortunate Hanmenzi to flatter? ”
The head of the Qin family was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he only held back one sentence for a long time, "Dad!" You are distorting the facts! At that time, the entire Qin family will be harmed! ”
"Lao Tzu also became the head of the house! I don't need you to teach! ”
The old master glared at him and lowered his voice, "How do you know that this is not a play played by himself, or a play played with His Majesty, in order to plot against our Qin family?" When you encounter something, you will mess up your own position, and you can't be eaten and wiped clean by those people in Zhongjing City? ”
The head of the Qin family was stunned for a moment, and some couldn't answer, so the old family head snorted coldly, "I will go and say it over there, the posture you should show these days must be shown, but you must not admit your guilt rashly!" ”
After the old master finished speaking, he helped Qin Yuwen up with his own hands, "Good grandson, grandpa asks you again, it is related to the destruction of my Qin family, you must answer seriously, is this matter instigated by you?" ”
Qin Yuwen said resolutely: "It's really not me!" ”
"Then be at home." The old master patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and looked at his son again, "No matter what happens, your own people must first twist into a rope before they can deal with foreign enemies!" ”
After speaking, he walked out slowly on crutches.
When he left, the head of the Qin family looked at his son who was stunned and waved his hand speechlessly, "What are you doing standing stupidly, just do what you have to do!" ”
Although Qin Yuwen was full of grievances, he didn't dare to make a mistake at this moment, and strode away as if he had been amnestied.
——
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"
In the Jiang'an Hou Mansion, Gongsun Jing and Bai Yunbian stepped forward to ask Feng Xiuyun, who was taking care of Xia Jingyun, with a concerned face.
Feng Xiuyun said: "The imperial doctor said that fortunately, it didn't hurt the viscera, just some flesh wounds, the arrow has been taken out, now the weather is not hot, and the wound has not suppurated, he has already helped with the medicine and bandaged, and then only needs to rest for a period of time to recover." ”
Gongsun Jing let out a long sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!" ”
Although Xia Jingyun has only been in Beijing for less than two months, under all kinds of deeds, he can't imagine what a big blow it will be to his current camp if something really happens to Xia Jingyun.
Bai Yunbian's hanging heart also let go, but his face was still stiff, and he pursed his mouth, "I'll just say, the scourge is a thousand years old, and this dog thing is not so easy to die." ”
Su Yuanshang walked to the side of the steps and sat down next to Chen Fugui, "There is no need to blame yourself too much, it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, you are just a person, and you have already done a good job, not to mention that Gao Yang is not fine!" ”
Chen Fugui's haggard face was still full of guilt and self-blame, "It was so late, I should have been more vigilant." You should also bring a few more people before going out, maybe the other party will not dare to start. I should have reminded Childe from the beginning that if there is danger in the carriage, lie down, maybe he won't be shot."
Su Yuanshang pressed his shoulder, "The only meaning of summarizing the past is that it can play a role in the future, so you don't have to blame yourself, just protect him in the future." ”
He smiled and said: "What's more, his current appearance is not in danger of his life, and he can't go out to run around, just so that he can honestly study at home, and when the time comes to take the top prize, he will have to toast you!" ”
Chen Fugui's honest face finally showed a helpless wry smile, "Thank you, Mr. Su." ”
Su Yuanshang patted him on the shoulder, and was about to turn around and leave, when the porter walked quickly, "Mr. Su, Mr. Gongsun, the eldest lady of the Qin family asks to see you." ”
Su Yuanshang's brows furrowed.
And also.
