Chapter 189: Aftermath
After tossing around Xuanwu Street for so long, and going to the palace again, when Geng Shuhuai returned to Bofu, the sky was already a little dark, and it was about to be the time to hold the lamp.
"It's getting dark, what are you doing coming back with me?"
After coming out of the palace, Geng Shuhuai deliberately slowed down the horse's speed, he was holding back his words in his heart, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy, so his mouth barely stopped along the way, and then he found that Yang Tianmo followed him back to Bofu.
Yang Tianmo glanced at him, "You have been talking, you have been asking me all kinds of questions, if I leave directly halfway, wouldn't you talk to yourself, it is very likely that people will think that you have madness, then isn't it my sin?" ”
"You're crazy! Hmph, I know you want to see my sister. Geng Shuhuai had an expression on his face, don't try to lie to me.
"Sister Shuang'er asked us to escort Miss Tao back to the Yuan'an Dart Bureau, but now Miss Tao has been taken to the Zhenguo Mansion, shouldn't I tell her about this?" Yang Tianmo asked rhetorically.
"Didn't I have a long mouth?"
Yang Tianmo shook his head, "You can't tell." ”
The two of them were arguing like this, and they entered the Bofu.
Geng Xingshuang was also a little surprised when she saw Yang Tianmo coming with her.
"Sister Shuang, something is wrong!" Geng Shuhuai immediately took the lead.
At this time, they were in the main house of Qingcui Courtyard, and Geng Wen and Ruan were also there.
Geng Shuhuai said this, Geng Xingshuang didn't do anything, but Ruan Shi was startled by him.
Geng Wen frowned, "What the hell is your name, what happened?" ”
Geng Shuhuai ignored him, but said to Ruan Shi scoldingly: "Mother, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal." That's the case, when I escorted Miss Tao back to the Yuan'an Dart Bureau with Dumping Mo, and walked to Xuanwu Street......"
Geng Shuhuai quickly recounted what happened this afternoon from beginning to end.
"I'm a little dizzy!" Ruan Shi held her forehead, she felt incredible, she looked at Yang Tianmo, "Tianmo, what Shu Huai said is true?" ”
Yang Tianmo nodded and said comfortingly: "Yes, Uncle Shi, Aunt Ruan, you don't have to worry, this matter has nothing to do with us in the end, Miss Tao has been taken back to the Zhenguo Mansion by the eldest prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the identity relationship between her and the second girl Zhu and Aunt Geng of the Pingwang Mansion will be dealt with by the Zhenguo Mansion and the Pingwang Mansion, as for the two groups of assassins, they will also be investigated by Ning Duwei, Ningdu Mansion, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, etc., and they will be directly reported to the emperor after they are found." ”
"What I said makes sense, and when I think about it like this, I feel much more at ease." Nguyen Thi Dao.
Geng Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Then if those assassins are related to Geng Xingbing......
"Although the two groups of assassins are very different, but from the perspective of time and place, they should be the same group, but they are covered up, those assassins are not something that can be found for money, they should be after a long period of specific training, and with the ability of Bofu, it is obviously impossible to provide for it, so even if it is related to the fourth girl Geng, Bofu may be reprimanded, but it will not be more culpable."
Yang Tianmo didn't completely whitewash the peace, he looked at Geng Wen's ugly face, knew what he thought, and said: "As for whether the eldest prince has contributed to this, Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry too much, this matter may not find out the result." ”
Geng Xingshuang didn't understand the meaning of Yang Tianmo's words, until four days later, Zhu Yan came to her and told her that the two assassins who had been seriously injured by Zhan Pei and Wu Juan had recruited, and that the master they had recruited was King Ping.
"Is it His Royal Highness King Ping's people? Could it be that the fourth sister pretended to pass on the orders of His Royal Highness King Ping and instructed people to do it secretly? ”
Geng Xingchen guessed that after the past few days, the assassination of the two princes on Xuanwu Street has been rumored, but outsiders don't know that before the two princes were assassinated, there was a girl who almost died, but the girls who participated in Geng Xingshuang's birthday banquet that day naturally knew, and they paid close attention to the movement of the matter.
On that day, the latest and most accurate trends can only be provided to them by Zhu Yan.
And Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, no, it should be said that everyone in Bofu is a little more worried, if this matter is related to Geng Xingbing, will it implicate Bofu.
"King Ping did not admit that the assassins were his men, and I heard that he swore to heaven before the emperor that if this was really his plan, he would not die a good death."
"The emperor believed him?" Geng Xingshuang asked.
Zhu Yan shook his head, "The emperor didn't say that he believed it, nor did he say that he didn't believe it, he just asked Ning Duwei to continue to investigate, not only Ning Duwei, but even the Criminal Department and Dali Temple also joined in, but my father said that there may not be a result in this matter, Xuanwu Street has been turned upside down, Ning Duwei and the people of the government office only found the black short fight left by the assassins in the Li family's silk shop, the shop has a large backyard, the door connecting the backyard and the front yard is almost indistinguishable from the wall from the outside, the backyard leads to another street, and those assassins have already changed their clothes, blending into the crowd in the appearance of ordinary people, even if they are injured and dead, they can be pulled to the carriage, so ......"
"So it's Ning Duwei, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the government that those people are too slow, if they go earlier, or as soon as the people arrive, they react immediately and set up control on another street, they will definitely be able to catch some clues." Geng Xingchen frowned and continued.
Geng Xingshuang thought that on the second day after the assassination, she and her second brother went to her uncle to inquire about the situation, and the uncle sighed at the time, although he didn't say it explicitly, but they could still hear some meaning from his words, Ningdu City is the capital of Ningdu, the city is large, the population is large, and only the officials of the Ningdu Mansion and the following two counties and counties naturally can't inspect it, so in fact, the street patrol task of the entire Ningdu City is divided according to the location, by the Ningdu Mansion Ya, Ningfeng County Ya, Ningdeng County Ya, The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Ningduwei Division inspected the division.
After the assassination that day, the reason why several people from the yamen went was because the captain of Ningduwei who was in charge of patrolling the streets thought that they were only responsible for patrolling the streets, but if something really happened, especially if something happened to a big incident, this kind of thing must wait until the people from the Ningdu government and the county government came to deal with it, after all, the government and the county government are the parents and officials.
For this reason, I heard that Lord Yin of the Mansion also argued a few words with Ren Qi, the commander of Ning Duwei, but Yin of the Mansion of Ningdu City is from the third grade, and the commander of Ning Duwei is from the second grade, and the two of them are inferior in rank, even if Lord Lu is no longer a nest in his heart, he can show a little dissatisfaction in front of Ren Qi, which is already considered an arrogance, and the others are not good to do more.
Time flies quickly, approaching the end of the year, and three days of snow at both ends, the people in the city are happily preparing for the New Year, after the small year, the yamen will be sealed, so even with the intervention of the Dali Temple and the criminal department, until the Yamen sealed, except for the two assassins who confessed that their owners were King Ping, the assassination has not progressed.
As for those who want to return to Ningdu City from other places, such as the family in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion, because of the heavy snow and road closure, they can only stop halfway for the New Year, and Yang Tianmo's parents can only postpone coming back next year because there are still affairs to be handed over in Pengxian County.
