Chapter 38: The Mouth of the Green Bamboo Snake
Seeing the white mist, Chen Ke's heart sank slightly, this mist was like a mouthful of spiritual power given to him by a gray-haired mouse.
Not knowing whether the mist was poisonous or not, Chen Ke took the wooden stick and retreated into the house. Look outside vigilantly, in case there are more wicked people in the white fog.
After waiting for a long time, the fog gradually dissipated, and Chen Ke found that the middle-aged man had fled.
The courtyard was in tatters, there was no place to hide people, Chen Ke walked out of the courtyard and looked outside the gate again, but there was no one there.
"Escaped." Chen Ke said, "I thought you would kill me through the fog, I really don't know how to cherish the opportunity." ”
Chen Ke spoke, looked around, he was deliberately seducing the middle-aged man, if the middle-aged man was still hiding around, he might hear Chen Ke's words of letting his guard down, and he would suddenly kill to deal with Chen Ke.
After waiting for a while, no one came out of the shadows, Chen Ke's heart was slightly relieved, but he still remained vigilant and returned to the room.
In the room, only the dagger thrown by the middle-aged man flew out.
Chen Ke picked it up and looked at it, a sharp dagger with a word engraved on it: Four.
"Four?"
Chen Ke looked through it carefully, and found nothing unusual, he put away the dagger, closed the door, and ran towards the city.
entered the city and went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
Chen Ke went to see Longtu and informed Longtu of the matter.
"Chen Ke, you're here, I have something to look for you." Long Tu saw Chen Ke come in, and a smile appeared on his face.
Chen Ke said: "My lord, I also have something to say. ”
Long Tu said: "Then you talk about it first, my matter is more important, and then I will talk about it last." ”
Chen Ke told Long Tu about his encounter with the assassin, and he also told Long Tu about his guess.
"My lord, I don't have many enemies in the capital, except for Zhao Jia's group of cross murderers, it is the princess, I suspect that this person is the killer sent by the princess to assassinate me."
Chen Ke also handed the dagger in his arms to Long Tu: "This is the dagger that the man dropped." ”
Long Tu took it and looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and said: "This is not an ordinary weapon, but it is made of fine iron, and ordinary people do not have this kind of dagger." The dagger is so delicate, with elaborate carvings on it, it seems that it is very likely to be something from the palace. ”
Chen Ke said: "My lord, is it the person sent by the evil woman!" ”
Long Tu said: "I can't confirm it for the time being, I need to find this moment, do you know what it looks like at this moment?" ”
Chen Ke responded: "I know." ”
Long Tu said: "I'll ask the painter to come later, you tell the painter the appearance you can remember, and search the whole city first." ”
"Thank you, sir." Chen Ke arched his hand.
Long Tu shook his head slightly: "You are a military attache of the imperial court, a third-class guard, and a seventh-rank important position." Someone assassinates you, but he is an enemy of the court, and this matter cannot be easily let go! ”
Chen Ke said: "My business is over, what did the adults tell me to do?" ”
Long Tu said: "Can you still stay calm now? ”
Chen Ke frowned slightly, but his heart moved, Long Tu asked him to stay calm, it seems that Long Tu has found clues related to Zhao Jiachu again.
Chen Ke said seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, I can stay calm." If I hadn't calmed down, I would have killed the princess long ago. ”
Long Tu bowed slightly: "Since this is the case, then you will change into your regular clothes tomorrow and go out of the city with me." ”
"Yes."
Chen Ke said.
After the matter was finished, Long Tu asked Chen Ke to go out and reported Chen Ke's assassination to the officials in charge of criminal cases in Jingzhao Mansion.
Chen Ke later met the painter, the painter drew a rough appearance of the middle-aged man after Chen Ke's mouth comparison, Chen Ke looked at the appearance of the middle-aged man, and pointed out some different differences, and finally painted a portrait similar to the middle-aged man.
Immediately, other painters copied it, and then the whole city was arrested.
"Chen Ke, someone is looking for you outside."
Chen Ke was finishing his work and was about to go to his class room, when a head catcher came in to inform him.
After Chen Ke thanked him, he walked out of the yamen with doubts, who would come to him at this time?
Walking out of the main gate of the yamen, Chen Ke saw Gu Yanshan standing on the side.
When Gu Yanshan saw Chen Ke, a smile appeared on her slightly gorgeous face, she looked at Chen Ke, and said with a slight joy in her tone: "Brother Chen Ke, don't forget my brother's banquet tonight." ”
Chen Ke thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll invite, don't let Brother Gu break the bank." ”
Gu Yanshan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Chen Ke, it's better for my brother to please, after all, he is older than us, he will invite him first, and you will invite you next time." Don't disturb your office, I'll go first. ”
Gu Yanshan bowed and turned to leave. A maid beside him bowed slightly to Chen Ke and followed.
Chen Ke turned around and returned to the court, and not long after he sat down, news came from the door again, saying that someone was looking for him.
Chen Ke frowned slightly after hearing this, Gu Yanshan would not come again, he didn't have few acquaintances in the capital, and walked out of the yamen with doubts.
There was no one at the door, Chen Ke asked the official guarding the door, and the official said, "Just now someone said that he was waiting for you at the entrance of the alley next to him." ”
When Chen Ke heard this, he suddenly felt surprised, he was still at the alley on the side, was he afraid that others would see him?
Chen Ke walked over indifferently, bypassed the main road of Jingzhao Mansion, and came to the entrance of the alley.
There was indeed a person standing at the entrance of the alley, but this person was wearing a black robe with his back to Chen Ke.
"Who are you?"
Chen Ke didn't move forward, this person was dressed strangely, which made Chen Ke's vigilance rise again.
"Me?"
It was a woman's voice, somewhat familiar.
Chen Ke's eyes condensed slightly, and he could tell who it was.
"It's you!"
Chen Ke clenched his fists.
The woman turned, revealing a pretty face, but with hatred on her face.
She's Princess Jinde!
"Chen Ke, you killed my donkey, and today I will take your dog's life!"
Princess Jinde took out a dagger from the cuff inside her robe and stabbed it at Chen Ke.
When Chen Ke saw Princess Jinde's dagger, his eyes condensed slightly, which was somewhat similar to the dagger used by the assassin in the morning.
"If it's really you, you poisonous woman, dare to throw yourself into the net, you can't escape."
Chen Ke sneered, looked left and right, there were tall courtyard walls, no one was ambushed here, even if there were people, Chen Ke could beat them, and grabbed Princess Jinde into Jingzhao Mansion to ask for the guilt.
Princess Jinde's dagger slashed over, Chen Ke dodged sideways, grabbed Princess Jinde's arm with his backhand, and punched Princess Jinde in the abdomen.
"Bang."
Chen Ke's fist hit Princess Jinde's abdomen, Chen Ke felt as if the fist had hit a wooden board, it seemed that Princess Jinde came wearing armor.
With a weird smile on her face, Princess Jinde looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, you're done." ”
Chen Ke didn't know why, "You're just done, follow me to meet the adult!" ”
Princess Jinde suddenly took out a dagger again in her left hand, and stabbed the dagger into her abdomen in front of Chen Ke.
"Poof!"
The blood was immediately left, Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, and said, "You are crazy, you still want to commit suicide in fear of sin!" ”
At this moment, behind the mouth of the alley, the subordinates and guards of the princess's mansion came out: "Be bold Chen Ke, dare to assassinate the princess, and capture it without restraint!" ”
In front of the alley where Chen Ke came, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion also hurriedly came: "Chen Ke, don't mess around, stop quickly!" ”
Chen Ke frowned immediately, his pupils shrank, and he squinted slightly and looked at Princess Jinde with murderous intent: "You framed me!" ”
Princess Jinde whispered: "You killed my husband, I don't calculate you personally, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”
"Okay, you poisonous woman, in that case, let's finish together." As he spoke, Chen Ke was about to pull out the dagger in Princess Jinde's abdomen and stab her in the chest.
"Hehe, come on." Princess Kinder didn't feel the slightest pain, and even laughed.
Chen Ke felt something different, pushed Princess Jinde away, and stepped aside.
The subordinates and guards of the princess's mansion also rushed over, several maids hugged Princess Jinde and cried bitterly, and the guards drew their knives and pointed at Chen Ke, wanting to behead Chen Ke.
The official of Jingzhao Mansion also drew his knife and blocked Chen Ke's side, and a head catcher walked to Chen Ke's side with an ugly face.
"What's going on?" Sun Zhutou asked.
Sun Zhutou and Chen Ke also know each other, and they usually eat Yamen meals together.
Chen Ke said: "She stabbed herself and wanted to frame me. ”
"You are talking nonsense, the princess obviously came to make peace with you, although you killed the colt, but the colt is also at fault, the princess is afraid that you are afraid that the princess will attack you, so she came to explain it to you. Who knew that it wasn't enough for you to kill the colt, but also to attack the princess for a country woman! The maid holding Princess Jinde said dissatisfiedly.
"You must have had an adulterous affair with that woman, otherwise you would not be able to attack the princess!" Another maid shouted.
When Chen Ke heard this, his face suddenly became angry, the ruthless Princess Jinde not only killed Sister-in-law Qin, but also wanted to use him to ruin Sister-in-law Qin's reputation.
"You dare to humiliate Sister-in-law Qin, how can I spare you."
Chen Ke said that he was going to go over and crush the maid.
"Chen Ke! Don't mess around, wait for the adults to come! Seeing that Chen Ke wanted to move forward, Sun Zhutou immediately grabbed Chen Ke, and several other catchers also grabbed Chen Ke's arm.
The guard knife of the princess's mansion was raised, waiting for Chen Ke to go over, and hacked Chen Ke to death.
"Lord Long has arrived!"
Princess Jinde was stabbed, and someone immediately told Long Tu, Long Tu hurried over, and frowned slightly when he saw that Chen Ke still wanted to go forward.
"What's going on?" Long Tu saw Princess Jinde who fell to the ground and closed her eyes, and only felt bad in his heart: "Call the doctor!" ”
"My lord, it's already called, come right away." Sun Zhutou said.
The maid beside Princess Jinde told her about the matter, mainly because Princess Jinde ignored her past suspicions to appease Chen Ke, who wanted to murder Princess Jinde because she had a personal relationship with the Qin family.
Long Tu just wanted to laugh when he heard it, this kind of small means is also used? But this kind of petty means is really incomprehensible.
The doctor came over, pulled out the dagger, and helped Princess Jinde stop the bleeding.
Sun Zhutou took the dagger and showed it to Long Tu, who saw the dagger and looked at Chen Ke in disbelief.
Chen Ke had just argued with Princess Jinde, and he didn't look carefully at the dagger in Princess Jinde's hand, and after seeing it clearly this time, he was also shocked!
