Seeing that it was getting late, she explained a few more words before taking Yang Xiaohua and the others back.
As soon as he returned to the house, Butler Song came forward to report: "Madam, there is a letter from the Second Young Madam. They will arrive in the capital in two days."
Jiang Ning paused in his steps and held his forehead against a headache, "Hurry up and tell Xu Mansion!"
Everything comes together! If Mrs. Zhou knew that Xu Nuoshan was injured, she would probably faint from fear.
Inside the inn.
Princess Wuya pointed at the noses of Lan Suiwendong and Lan Suiwenhan and yelled, "You can still miss a weak scholar! You even alarmed the emperor. You are really getting more and more capable!"
Lan Sui Wenhan was dissatisfied and retorted, "It was the princess who said that Ishiguro had killed countless people and was ruthless and would not betray us, so we came to find him! Now that he has failed, are you going to blame us?"
There is no such truth in this world.
Princess Wuya clenched her fist tightly and swept all the porcelain on the table.
How did she know that Ishiguro was so unreliable! Think back to the beginning.
Princess Wuya slowly closed her eyes. That's all. If she misses it, she will miss it. Anyway, she has something to do with Ishiguro, so he wouldn't dare to confess them. He probably wouldn't dare.
Lan Suiwendong frowned and glanced at the silent Princess Wuya, and said thoughtfully: "Is that Shiheizi reliable? We really can't let anyone kill him."
Princess Wuya sneered mockingly, "Now everyone has been arrested! Where can we kill them? You still pray that he won't give us away!"
Lan Sui Wenhan's face tightened, and he deceived himself and said: "Probably not! Only we know his true identity. If he dares to betray us, he will not survive!"
If it weren't for the fact that the people they brought were different in size and appearance from the Han people, they wouldn't have had to target outsiders. Shiheizi was a robber they met on the way to the capital. He had a notorious reputation and happened to be under Lan Suiwendong's command. He was captured alive and brought into the capital along the way.
Their original plan was to wait until they returned and then **** Ishiguro to his lair and empty the gold and silver treasures inside. For this reason, they and Ishiguro agreed to give him a certain freedom of movement. This time it was also because they were trapped. In the capital, there are people watching all around. It is really impossible to secretly hire a murderer to kill people, so I can only use him.
Lan Suiwendong frowned. It was a capital crime for Shi Heizi to assassinate the imperial officials. It was also a capital crime to expose their true identity after confessing them. No matter what, he would not survive. But if he was honest and lenient, he might die faster without having to suffer. Torture, if it were him, he would choose to confess in order to get relief.
Now it’s up to Qi Huang to see how he plans to deal with it, but they have lost the opportunity and can no longer attack Xunuo Mountain.
Thinking of this, Lan Suiwendong clenched his fist angrily, slammed the table hard, and left angrily.
Princess Wuya was startled, came to her senses, and cursed at Lan Suiwendong's back. She even beat and scolded the maids who were serving her.
Late night.
Inside the Xuanzheng Hall of the Royal Palace.
The emperor was reading the memorial by burning the midnight oil.
King Xiaoyao entered under the leadership of Dekang.
“Brother Emperor!”
The emperor raised his head, put down his ink pen, and said with a hint of sharpness in his cold eyebrows, "How?"
King Xiaoyao lowered his eyes and replied respectfully: "Shi Heizi has confessed. It was Lan Suiwendong and Lan Suiwenhan who ordered him to assassinate Xunuo Shan. If he succeeded, Lan Suiwendong would immediately let him go. The relationship between them Let the grudge be wiped out."
"Oh? There is still grudge between them?" The emperor spoke calmly, but everyone knew how angry he was. That Shiheizi was secretly brought into the capital by people from the Wuya tribe, but no one noticed it. King Xiaoyao said: "Shiheizi is a mountain bandit in the southwest region. Wuya's envoy met Shiheizi who was robbing him on his way to Beijing. They arrested him and tortured him. For some unknown reason, they did not kill Shiheizi. He took the man into the city, and Lan Suiwendong called him brother and sister along the way.
For the first time, Shiheiko entered Beijing and was fascinated by the Huahua world. Cheng Ri Su was in the room of the girl of Baihua Tower. The money spent was Lan Suiwen's money, and Lan Suiwen Dong did not complain about half a sentence.
Because Shi Heizi stayed in Baihua Tower after entering the capital and never entered the inn, the soldiers did not notice it. Seeing that Princess Yongyang was getting married soon, Lan Suiwendong couldn't sit still and went to Hongfengzhai to meet Shi Heizi and talk to him. Reach an agreement.
It happened that Shi Heizi was fascinated by the girl Du Juan from Baihualou, and a wealthy businessman also wanted to redeem the girl Du Juan. Tonight, Shi Heizi was afraid that someone would get there first, so he acted in a hurry and planned to kill Xu Nuoshan and take him with him. Girl Cuckoo left the capital.
His evil deeds in the southwest were always unfavorable, except for the last time when he underestimated the enemy and was captured. He was arrogant, arrogant, and afraid of death. Lan Suiwendong was wrong this time. "
The emperor sneered and stared at the candlelight in the palace for a while, then slowly said: "Keep Shiheizi for now. This person is useful. Let's put this matter aside for the time being. We will send some more things over to Promise Mountain and let the imperial doctor go there." Look."
"yes!"
King Xiaoyao left the Xuanzheng Hall, exhaled for no reason, shook his head, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Ning came out of the inner courtyard, he saw King Xiaoyao sitting in her pavilion enjoying the cool weather.
She stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Did you catch the murderer?"
"That's right! Don't even look at who I am!" King Xiaoyao shook the skin of melon seeds on his body and said: "The matter cannot be dealt with for the time being. Just know it yourself. The emperor also knows that Xu Nuoshan will be wronged this time. Yes, someone has been sent to deliver the items.”
Jiang Ning’s face was calm and his fists gradually clenched.
Seeing her suffocating look, King Xiaoyao reminded him helplessly: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. You are also a minister of Guangen now, and you must be able to understand his concerns. Don't we all say that a gentleman does not take revenge for ten years?" Is it too late? Be patient, you will definitely have a chance in the future.”
“Hmm.” Jiang Ning rarely quarreled with King Xiaoyao.
He was a little surprised, but he was not as provocative as before.
Jiang Ning saw off Queen Xiaoyao and went to Xu Mansion again.
Xu Nuoshan's complexion is much better than yesterday. The wound was a little deep, but fortunately it did not continue to ooze blood. Coupled with the golden sore medicine given by the palace, there was a faint tendency to heal.
Jiang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Nuoshan suddenly knelt down in front of her and said, "Auntie, my mother-in-law should be arriving tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Can you please help me hide my injury?"
Jiang Ning hesitated, "I don't have to mention it, but since this matter is such a big deal, they will know about it sooner or later."
"It doesn't matter, as long as they see that I am safe and sound, they will be sad for a while when they find out afterwards, which is better than being frightened when they first come to the capital." Xu Nuoyan explained carefully.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning could only nod in agreement.
The hour of the next day.
The carriage of Guang'en Marquis finally slowly approached the city gate. (End of chapter)
