Chapter 38: Fear (2)
There was a moment of silence in the room, and I could almost hear my own heartbeat!
I was indeed confused by Liao Jianzhong's words, and even a little panicked. My grandfather always taught us that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, perhaps because my family has been practicing medicine for generations, and the parents of the healers always feel that everything they do is very natural, and they often heal the patients and they will be happy in their hearts, but they don't care about the patient's thousand thanks. Therefore, I don't have much expectation of reciprocal return for saving people, but saving people is a good thing, not to mention saving the daughter of the Hou Yefu. If Xiang Chong said, this matter is a great honor for Jin Yiwei, the reason why I say this is because I heard that the emperor does not like Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, Jin Yiwei has always been treated coldly, so that for more than ten years, Jin Yiwei has been walking on thin ice from top to bottom, and it is a good thing not to be reprimanded by the emperor. The subjects of the world know that the emperor has only one wife, and the emperor obeys the queen's words. The queen has always adhered to the image of a good wife and does not interfere in political affairs, but there are always things that favor the mother's family, and the queen's brothers have borrowed light. I inadvertently saved Miss Ning Xi, I guess the emperor will know, this is undoubtedly adding color to Jinyiwei, is it wrong? Of course, a large part of these things were secretly said to Xiang Chong afterwards and me, Xiang Chong expects us to be able to soar because of this, of course he did get promoted, and I only think about saving people, whether it was Lang Zhong before, or the current Jinyi Wei identity, I will instinctively do it, and I really don't have any other ideas.
Liao Jianzhong seemed to understand my thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "It's not wrong for you to save people, it's just that we ignored who is the person who is going to assassinate the daughter of the Hou Ye's Mansion?!" ”
On that day, Gu Dayou rushed back with Xiang Chong, his face full of unhappiness, saying that he was bullied by the people of Dongchang, and they were ordered to investigate the case of the assassination of the daughter of the Hou Yefu, that is, to do it openly, looking for the fortune teller. They set their targets around Hou Ye's mansion to see if there were any idle people, etc., looking for some clues, and the most important thing was to ask Hou Ye if he had offended anyone recently. I don't want to, as soon as I arrived near the Hou Ye's mansion, I met Si Lun, he was supposed to be in Nanzhen Fusi, but he said that he was seconded to Dongchang, Gu Dayou said that he came to investigate, but he was immediately stopped by Si Lun, saying that they were responsible for this matter, and this was the arrangement of the master of ceremonies. This inevitably makes people wonder, it is clear that Jinyiwei is in charge, but the East Factory intervenes, although Si Lun is on duty in the East Factory, but he is also a person from the Nanzhen Fu Division, everyone analyzed at the time, thinking that the East Factory has the heart of inviting merit, but they despise Si Lun's personality even more.
After receiving this case, Liao Jianzhong thought, the people who have seen the fortune teller, except for Xiang Chong, there are several family members in the Hou Ye's Mansion, so Liao Jianzhong kept an eye on it and arranged for me to do a dark line, and sure enough, Xiang Chong was killed overnight. Come to think of it, it does have something to do with it.
I gradually had a vague figure in my mind, but I felt that it was impossible. And Liao Jianzhong said, handed me a waist card, I was stunned, it was my waist card, it was taken away by that woman, how could it be in Liao Jianzhong's hands?
Facing my doubts, Liao Jianzhong smiled bitterly and said: "This is something else, not only Liu Qingfeng, but also that Yu Qi, the reason why he was able to escape was because someone spoke and let them go." "The celebrant?" I blurted out, this is also everyone's speculation, Liao Jianzhong nodded excitedly, and said: "This waist card was sent in by someone else, the dignified brocade guard, like walking on the ground, but we can't pursue anything, it's all exchange, I don't know what to say!" ”
"Too many things happened that night, Liu Qingfeng ran away, Yu Qi ran away, Bao Song was killed, Xiang Chong was killed, and Dongchang intervened in the assassin investigation of the Hou Ye Mansion. We could have accomplished a lot of things, and now look, hey, forget it. Liao Jianzhong regretted a little, then raised his head again, and said: "But there is one thing, although there are some eyebrows at present, but I still can't figure it out, it is the matter of the assassin, don't hide it from you, I and several brothers have thought of you, you may be the next Xiang Chong, so you must be careful!" ”
I only felt a chill down my spine, I was not yet eighteen years old, was this the case, I didn't dare to think, I went out recklessly that night, not only lost my waist card, but also ran to the East Factory, witnessed the murder of Bao Song, I can sit here now, even I don't dare to think about how serious the situation is.
Liao Jianzhong looked at me and said, "Actually, you are still a child, and the road is still very long, but your experience in the past few days is indeed extraordinary. Jin Yiwei pays attention to loyalty and affection, and now, the change of the imperial court is inevitable, and the future of Jin Yiwei is also unpredictable, so catching the real culprit is something I must complete in the past few days. You are entrusted to me by Father-in-law Zhang, and I am bound to protect you, but sometimes, I have too many things to take care of, so you have to be careful. I've seen your skills, it's not bad, so I'm good at it! ”
I was very moved, thinking that I would make him laugh if I confessed it, not to mention that I might not have a problem, so I immediately arched my hand and said: "I am just a wild boy in the country, and I am really fortunate to be taken care of by you." It's true that I'm afraid of death, but when it comes, I can't let it go. Liao Jianzhong smiled and said, "Where are the words?" Like you, I came from the countryside, but you have to be good at seizing opportunities! It's not necessarily that serious, but I think about it more and be cautious. The capital is different from other places, three religions and nine streams, everyone has it, although we are the top in the mouth of others, but the hardships are only clear to us. ”
After a pause, he smiled again: "I heard that you went to the edict to save someone?" I knew it was Gao Dezheng, and hurriedly told him what had happened, he still smiled and said: "This thing is commonplace, don't be too nervous, it's just that you received so little silver, I'm afraid it's not enough to answer the right Jinyiwei, you will be the eldest brother in the future, hehe, this way, I'll give you a silver ticket, and you can divide it among the brothers!" ”
I listened, and suddenly people were stupid there! It turned out that everything about me was in Liao Jianzhong's eyes, he didn't mind, just said lightly: "I'm the same as you, what I do every day is recorded, it's Nanzhen Fusi, however, this time they didn't intervene, just simply wrote a report, that's what we do, sometimes we spy on others, sometimes we are monitored by others, remember, be cautious, it's better than anything!" ”
He has a broad smile, just like a beam of sunshine coming in a dark room, I am gradually infected by him, life always starts from ignorance, it is normal to fall and get up, as long as you work hard!
Xiang Chong died, which made everyone very nervous, especially me, although Liao Jianzhong repeatedly told me to act as if nothing happened, but how could I do it, I always felt that someone was staring at me, so I kept a high level of tension for the next few days.
Jinyi Weili soon spread the word that a group of people would be promoted recently, saying that the emperor had eaten the pill of Longhu Mountain and his health was much better, saying that he would give amnesty to the world, and at the same time, add officials to the Ming court. As everyone exchanged ears, the news spread faster and faster, so that the top and bottom of the Jinyi guard seemed mysterious and impetuous.
In the past few days, Ning Boyang and Hardy have been with me, Hardy is afraid that I will be sad, and Ning Boyang always says that I have the best chance to get on the throne, and my bottom is slowly known to everyone, so many people are respectful to me a lot, I tend to be calm, and I think that I have been in the capital for a while, and I should go to visit Grandpa Zhang.
My idea was just to secretly talk to Ning Boyang and Hardy, they shook their heads together, Hardy said that Hua Shichun spoke, and I was not allowed to leave Jinyiwei without authorization, while Ning Boyang said that Gonggong Zhang and others accompanied the prince in the deep palace every day, and it was easy to see him.
I think too, what are I for, I venture to go, but I am afraid that people will not see it, and I will end up with a joke.
