Qin Ke's heart was full of doubts at this time, and he thought of the sentence that Bai Qi brought a few days ago.

"Remember to bring a sword. ”

This is Gao Yishui's advice to him.

Why do you want to bring a sword? At that time, he was very puzzled, but today, this doubt has been given a tragic answer.

But why did Gao Yishui know that someone was going to commit murder on the street today?

If he knew, why didn't he stop it in advance, but let it happen?

He felt that Gao Yishui was hiding something from him, and now he couldn't ask him the reason directly, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

......

It was obviously a blue sky and a white day, but the clouds in the Jinzhou Yamen were almost as low as everyone's eyebrows, and all the errands and officials were hunched over, speaking softly, moving cautiously, and the expressions on their faces were solemn as if they were attending the funeral of a big man.

The news of the assassination of Yinxue, the lady of the public loser, on the day of the wedding, has spread throughout Jinzhou City through various channels in a very short period of time, and I don't know how many people fell off their chairs in shock, and how many people widened their eyes and shook their heads and said that this must be the biggest rumor in recent years......

It's just that the people in the yamen know very well that just an hour ago, the public loser Yinxue finally returned to the mansion of the public loser under the escort of the Jinzhou Army 100-man team and several old regiments of the public loser.

After that, Gong Yiren sent someone to deliver the news as soon as possible, and gathered all the important personnel in the yamen together.

In the hall, on the left are several generals of the Jinzhou Army in charge of city defense, and on the right are several civilian officials in charge of Jinzhou's internal affairs.

They are waiting, waiting for the biggest talker in Jinzhou, the current Mo family doctor and Jinzhou county guard, and also the head of the public loser family - Gong Yiren.

Although after the establishment of the Mo family, the fiefdom of the doctors was gradually canceled, and the original doctors were changed to the county guards, but they still retained the hereditary title, and the public loser is undoubtedly the uncrowned king in the city of Jinzhou.

Among these officials, there are also many protégés of the public loser, plus those who have been favored by the public loser for generations, who have been promoted by the public loser for many years, and even dig up a few generations, who have more or less the shadow of the public loser behind them.

Naturally, they also have a different kind of respect for the public losers.

But the public lost the benevolence for a long time, and everyone gradually couldn't hold it anymore and began to whisper:

"In Jinzhou City, under the bright and bright world, there are people in front of the people of the city, intercepting and killing the public loser's welcoming team, killing several servants and maids, I heard that the public loser's lady is also seriously injured, you say...... Who has the guts?"

"You ask me, and who do I ask?"

"Hey, Lao Yu, you are a bit shirked when you say that, you also have the responsibility of assisting in the management of the patrol of Jinzhou City, and if something so big happens, you can't catch any clues?"

"What clues did I catch, you also said that I assisted in management, and I don't lead soldiers to patrol the streets. You didn't ask General Yin, but you came to ask me what I meant, suspicious of me?"

"What are you talking about, where would I doubt you? I'm just ......"

"Just what?" the official surnamed Yu said coldly: "I was ordered to assist in the management of the patrol of Jinzhou City, and I have always been in charge of logistics, to put it bluntly, it is to send food and salary, and by the way, let the craftsmen repair weapons and armor and oil them...... Now that this is a big deal, don't try to pull it on me. ”

“......”

In fact, he is not unclear, the assassination of Miss and Uncle Gongloser on the street, to put it mildly, this is to buy murder, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes, to put it mildly, this is to challenge the authority of the public loser, if the public loser is angry because of this matter, he even throws them all into prison, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

So at this moment, everyone is thinking about how to draw a line with this matter, so as not to be implicated at the time.

It's just that whether it is the military generals who continue to remain silent in the hall, or the civil officials who are chattering louder and louder, there is a huge mystery hidden in their panic mood: Who arranged this matter? What is the motive, and what is the future ...... Who will benefit?

It's a pity that the incident happened in too short a time, and everyone was gathered in this hall in a short time, and the yamen and military camp without them were in a mess at this time, let alone investigating the truth.

Seeing that the officials who were chattering and talking non-stop finally felt a little thirsty, they began to pick up their cups and drink tea, and the servants on the side finally had something to do, and the hot hot water was poured on the tea leaves that had been brewed over and over again, and the taste of tea in the cups gradually became dull.

And just as the noise in the hall reached a peak, someone at the door suddenly shouted: "Lord Gong has arrived!"

In an instant, the noise of the entire hall was annihilated, and with the sound of swaying robes, the hall slowly fell into a dead silence.

The face of the male who was pushed in a wheelchair was extremely ugly, and his eyes were like a wounded and lonely beast.

Zhao Shi pushed Gong Yiren, his eyes were worried, and when he heard his husband's violent coughs, he subconsciously reached out and stroked his already skinny back a few times.

Gong Yiren glanced at his wife with comforting eyes, then looked around at everyone, and slowly spoke: "How is it, have you discussed anything?"

All the officials and generals in the field were terrified for a while, and at this moment they realized that they were not deliberately neglecting to hang them here, but hoping that they could draw some conclusions here.

But they were all confused, except for the dry tea bowl and the complaints in their heads, only a slight soreness in the lower abdomen was left - it was because they drank too much water and wanted to go to the thatched house......

It's just that at this time, no one dared to stand up and say that they wanted to go out first.

Seeing that no one spoke in the hall, Gong Yiren coughed and nodded, "Since there is nothing, then listen to me." ”

As soon as the words fell, all the officials cocked their ears, for fear of missing a word.

"My niece tied the knot today, and I should have invited you to go to the public loser for a glass of wine in the evening. Gong Yiren's voice was a little tired and desolate, "But something so big happened, I think you are the same as me, don't you have that kind of thought......"

The officials, who had always been flattering on weekdays, carefully avoided the sharp light that flashed in Gong Yiren's eyes, and they were shocked for a while, and they closed their mouths one after another.

Gong Yiren continued to say calmly: "It's hard work for you today, obviously I still have a lot of official business on my desk, but I have to sit here and drink tea because of my summons. I also know that after so many years of ups and downs in Jinzhou, it is not easy for you to maintain the internal chaos in Jinzhou, and to give an explanation to the court and the people. You are all dragging your family, more than a dozen mouths in the family are waiting for the rice to go to the pot, the daughter-in-law wants to wear gold and silver, the children and grandchildren want to ask the husband to practice literature and martial arts, and the old mother needs a good doctor to diagnose the pulse and see a doctor, just like Yu Pucheng......"

Gong Yiren pointed to the official, whose surname was Yu, and the official immediately stood up in fear, bending down.

"Sit down, what do you get up for. Gong Yiren's eyes remained unchanged, still with an unhurried expression, Yu Pucheng sat down nervously, but the next sentence made him jump up like a frog scalded by boiling water.

"Lord Yu just accepted the third concubine last month, and in order to prevent his wife from quarreling with him, he bought a house on Front Street to house that beautiful lady...... After all, people are not sages, and all of you here are not those ruthless and desireless monks of the Buddhist family, on the contrary, you are all my colleagues and siblings, and you are all my subordinate generals. So, all along, I turned a blind eye, and I didn't hear or see. As long as you can do your best for Jinzhou and the people, it is a good thing, and everyone is happy. ”

"It's just ......" Gong Yiren's words turned sharply, as if falling off a cliff, "It's just that I never thought that today, in Jinzhou under my rule, among my colleagues and siblings, someone is eating this big pot of rice in Jinzhou, but secretly wants to smash the pot!"

His suddenly raised voice was like a thunderbolt exploding in the hall, startling everyone to tremble, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand why Gong Yiren said this, is it possible to do today's thing, or is it his own people who are making trouble behind their backs?

"Bring it on!" the public shouted, and the sergeant, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, was dressed in fierce armor and immediately dragged up a man covered in blood.

Along the way, the man's bare feet kept rubbing against the ground, and the blood that flowed down drew a long blood mark in the hall, which was shocking.

"Look, who is he?" said Gong Yiren, raising his chin and sneering.

The officials and generals sitting in two rows had already focused their eyes on this person who had been tortured, his clothes were in tatters, and he was whipped to pieces by the iron whip in many places, but he could still vaguely distinguish the original material of some fabrics, which was expensive satin, and the color was also the popular navy blue, when the armored sergeant pulled his head and asked him to forcibly raise his head, everyone present gasped.

"Master Du!" someone said in a panic: "You...... How did you get it like this?"

Gong Yiren calmly took a sip of tea, and his eyes, which had always been peaceful and peaceful, became as fierce as a hungry wolf, and he said: "Du Qing, I am a capable minister in Jinzhou, and thirty percent of the documents for Jinzhou's internal affairs on weekdays must be approved by his hands. However, even today, the patrol army suddenly changed its route, saying that it was because there were too many displaced people, in order to prevent the spies of the Tang Kingdom from infiltrating the city, so it was up to 'me' to patrol the whole city, and even the suburbs of the city were sent more manpower over......"

"Doesn't that sound like there's a problem?" Gong Yiren showed a mocking smile, "But since even the suburbs have sent additional men, why did not a single soldier pass by in the most prosperous place on Changyang Street during the period when Gong Loser encountered assassins?"
