Chapter Thirty-Eight: Zhou Wins Shot

Jiang Minglun received the news and rushed to Xuanpingfang on the same day.

At this time, Li Wuchang had already returned to the Li Mansion, and Jiang Minglun was furious when he heard Zhao Xun finish the whole thing, vowing to take a bad breath for Li Wuchang.

The two interrogated the bandits brought back by Zhao Xun together.

Although the bandits have been in the green forest for many years, most of them rely on the strength of the crowd every time they go out, and they are quite afraid of death, Zhao Xun held a knife on his neck, he was almost scared, and asked what to say.

This bandit is a well-known gangster named Ma Liben on the roads in Shangluo County, this time through a friend's introduction, he received a job, saying that he wanted to teach a boy in Chang'an City, just cut a few knives, as for why he had to kill the killer when he started, he was completely red-eyed at the time.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun followed the line of Ma Liben's friend, secretly investigated for three days, and found the nephew of the second housekeeper of the Zhang family.

The truth is already very clear, this group of maniacs is really as Li Wuchang expected, they were sent by Zhang Yanbo.

In addition, except for Ma Liben, his brothers were all killed, which made Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun feel chills.

......

Secret base.

After listening to Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun's investigation conclusions, Li Wuchang nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Jiang Minglun said hatefully: "Zhang Yanbo is so vicious, when will we teach him a lesson?"

Zhao Xun said: "It is necessary to teach a lesson, but you have to be careful, now is a sensitive moment, and it is easy to leave your hands and feet if you act rashly." ”

Li Wuchang waved his hand and said, "My family has been staring too hard these days, for fear that I will do something crazy...... I'm going back, don't act rashly, I won't be polite when I need you. ”

In the past few days, Li Wuchang has not made any rash moves, just recuperating from his injuries with peace of mind, during which Li Lingwu also went to Caiyunju to see him once, which is definitely the first time in the world.

At that time, Li Wuchang behaved very well and did not complain at all, and at the same time thanked his father for coming to visit him.

Li Lingwu asked Li Wuchang to recuperate from his injuries, and went back with a few words of encouragement.

Li Wuchang took a loophole today, came to the secret base, and finally knew the truth of the matter, and the next thing was to find a way to get back the game, so that he couldn't let his seven knives suffer in vain.

When Li Wuchang's injuries were almost healed, Li Wuchang still didn't make any rash moves, which made Li Qing breathe a sigh of relief.

......

Zhou Mansion.

The Zhou family gathered together to welcome Li Wuchang, and today is the day when Li Wuchang revisited Zhou Sheng.

A few days ago, the Zhou family was very worried when they heard that Li Wuchang was attacked and injured, and they also sent Zhou Chengwang, the eldest son of the Zhou family, to visit Li Wuchang in the Li Mansion, and was relieved to learn that Li Wuchang was fine.

After Li Wuchang finished checking Zhou Sheng's pulse, he said, "Uncle Shi has a thick body foundation and is recovering well, it seems that he will fully recover in less than three months...... You don't have to worry, old lady. ”

The old lady was overjoyed and said, "Thank God, it's finally good." ”

Zhou Sheng smiled: "It's okay...... My nephew, I'll tell you the truth, in fact, a doctor has diagnosed it earlier, and the old lady has to wait for you to diagnose it before she can rest assured. ”

The old lady muttered, "How can those people's medical skills be compared to impermanence. ”

looked at Li Wuchang and changed the topic: "The old body heard that someone slashed you with a knife, but it scared people to death, who is so bold, and ah, how are you now?"

The tone is very concerned.

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "Thank you for the old lady's concern, I'm fine now, those fanatics just want to rob money, but they are fierce on the outside, but they are actually not heavy-handed, so it's not a big deal." ”

The old lady was old, and Li Wuchang felt that there was no need to let her know about these messy things.

Hearing Li Wuchang say this, the old lady folded her hands and put her mind at ease, and then told Zhou Sheng to chat with Li Wuchang, she went to the kitchen to have a look, and got some delicious food to entertain Li Wuchang.

After the old lady went out, Zhou Sheng smiled and said seriously: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Wuchang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Alas, it's all a battle of will between some gentlemen, and saying it will only dirty Uncle Shi's ears, so don't mention it." ”

Zhou Sheng said tentatively: "The second son of the Zhang family?"

Li Wuchang was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and lowered his head.

Even Zhou Sheng, an outsider, guessed it, but the family was still pretending to be confused, it was really ......

Zhou Sheng seemed to see Li Wuchang's helplessness, and said, "What, dissatisfied with your father?"

Li Wuchang raised his head instantly, waved his hand and said, "How dare the kid be so arrogant, I'm just a little discouraged." ”

Zhou Sheng sighed and said: "Don't blame your father, I know his difficulties, as the emperor's henchman, you have to be careful in every move, not only to share the emperor's worries, but also not to displease the emperor, but also to maintain a good relationship with other families, alas...... I have been with him since I was a child, and I know that he is the most bold and free person, and it is really difficult for him to sit in that seat. ”

Li Wuchang was silent.

He did complain a little before, this time when he heard Zhou Sheng say this, his heart was also full of emotion, everyone has a time when they can't help themselves, although his father Li Lingwu is in a high position and has unlimited scenery, but how can he not tremble and walk on thin ice.

Zhou Sheng continued: "That's it, I'll make the decision for you this time, what do you think?"

Li Wuchang waved his hand and said: "Uncle Shi, don't be like this, how can this little of the kid bother you, I'll just come by myself, don't worry, it will definitely not be too out of line, at most it is to ask for justice." ”

Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "Impermanence, you are polite to your Uncle Zhou, then I will be angry." ”

Seeing that Zhou Sheng looked up to himself so much, Li Wuchang was both grateful and embarrassed in his heart, and said helplessly: "Alas, Uncle Zhou, if you really can't see it and want to make decisions for the kid, then you can let it go, saying that you still need me to treat the disease, and let others not come to provoke me for the time being." ”

Zhou Sheng's power is not small, if he is willing to let his wind go, those who want to be unfavorable to Li Wuchang should have some scruples.

Zhou Sheng was willing to make such a small request when he saw Li Wuchang, and glanced at Li Wuchang in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll let you go." ”

Li Wuchang never expected that Zhou Sheng's wind was a bit big, which scared many people.

......

The next day, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.

Zhou Sheng, who had been recuperating from his injuries, actually went to the court.

After all the bigwigs finished talking about various national events to the saints, Zhou Sheng came out of the ranks, indicating that there was something to do.

Zhou Sheng said that he wanted to return to Jizhou to continue the war with the Khitans.

Emperor Lu Yuancheng was shocked when he heard this, and immediately comforted Zhou Sheng, saying: "I am very moved by Zhou Aiqing's loyalty, but Aiqing's body has not yet recovered, so I will stay in Chang'an to recuperate from my injuries first, and wait until my health is better, and then it is not too late to serve the country...... I know that Aiqing can't be blamed for the loss of Anle County, and Aiqing doesn't have to care about those rumors. ”

Zhou Sheng is loyal, upright, and brave and good at fighting, and has won the trust of Lu Yuancheng, although he lost the battle last time, but everyone knows that the loss of Anle County is not Zhou Sheng's incompetence, but that Jizhou has no elite soldiers to adjust, and there is a shortage of grain and grass, and he was caught off guard by the Khitans.

But it is inevitable that some people will say some sour things to stimulate Zhou Sheng, like the shame of a general, greedy for life and afraid of death, regardless of the people of Dayan and the like.

When Lu Yuancheng heard that Zhou Sheng wanted to return to Jizhou, he was very nervous, thinking that Zhou Sheng had suffered some grievances, so he hurriedly comforted him and let him recuperate with peace of mind.

Zhou Sheng said: "Your Majesty Xie cares." But Zhou Sheng would rather die on the battlefield than deal with the young people. ”

This is what is in the words, and the ministers do not know what they mean.

Lu Yuancheng frowned and said, "Aiqing, who are the so-called young people, you can tell me in detail." ”

Zhou Sheng straightened his waist and said, "Your Majesty, since Weichen has served the imperial court, he has offended many people, this is all due to his character, and Weichen has no complaints. ”

Everyone didn't know what Zhou Sheng wanted to say, so they all waited carefully.

Zhou Sheng continued: "This time Weichen was seriously injured, fortunately Dr. Xiao Li cured, and now that Wechen has not recovered, someone has killed Dr. Xiao Li, which is really unbearable." ”

Lu Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, and said: "You are talking about Li Wuchang, the fourth son of Commander Li, right, I remember that he made great efforts in the matter of saving Aiqing." ”

Zhou Sheng replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Lu Yuancheng looked at Li Lingwu on the side and said, "Commander Li, what's the matter, how can someone kill your son?"

Li Lingwu came out and said: "A few days ago, there were indeed a few bandits who besieged Xiao Er Impermanence on the street, but the specific situation is still under investigation. ”

Zhou Sheng said: "Your Majesty, Commander Li is in an important position, and he is loyal, and he is extremely busy every day, so he will never care about such a trivial matter, nor will he trouble the saint for such a trivial matter. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Yesterday, Dr. Xiao Li re-examined Wechen, and Wechen saw that he was seriously injured, with as many as seven knife wounds on his body, and his bones were visible, but he still tried his best to treat Wechen. ”

Everyone was amazed, who was so vicious and dared to do this to the son of Commander Li.

Zhou Sheng continued: "Your Majesty, although Dr. Li has some minor problems on weekdays, he will not be killed, while Commander Li is usually loyal and fair, and he will never provoke any enemies. ”

After a pause, he continued: "According to Wechen's investigation, this time this gang of bandits is likely to come to Wechen, they know that Wechen still needs Dr. Xiao Li to regulate his body, so they want to kill him, and they want to make Wechen's body unable to heal, or even die." Your Majesty's Mingjian. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was instantly quiet, and the falling needles could be heard.

Lu Yuancheng's face turned pale.

For such a reason, these people are really bold, to the point of madness, no wonder Zhou Sheng is so angry.

"Liu Zhifan. Lu Yuancheng shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Zhifan, the head of Dali Temple, came out.

"I order you to do your best to investigate this case, and you must arrest all the lawless bandits, arrest the people behind them, and give General Zhou and Commander Li an explanation. I want to see who is so bold as to dare to deal with my border generals. Lu Yuancheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust, wipe out the people who did it and the mastermind behind the scenes, and definitely give General Zhou and Commander Li an explanation. Liu Zhifan swore solemnly.
