Zhongsun Ce's voice became louder and louder, "A'mou's whereabouts are unknown, and there are many dangers. He will be ridiculed in every possible way in Lingxu City! Even the untouchables in the lower city dare to point fingers at us! Do they deserve it?"
Zhongsun Chi's hands were shaking, but this time he raised his stick to hit him: "Let me ask you, what did you do just now?"
"Go and teach Fu Shanyue a lesson." Seeing the old man's glare, Zhongsun Ce quickly added, "I didn't do anything to him. I gave the man named He next to him a little pain to scare the monkeys!"
He also knew that Fu Shanyue had received orders from Lord Chiyan to enter Lingxu City and had important matters at hand, so it was not easy to target him directly.
But the so-called "special envoy" next to Fu Shanyue, the person who exposed the false confession between his second brother and Cen Boqing in Bai Shaqiang, is even more hateful and deserves to be killed!
If it hadn't been for this guy's obstruction, the second brother would have escorted Fu Songhua back to Lingxu City for business. How could there have been so many changes later?
Killing him will also show Fu Shanyue's disgrace. "The surnamed He has caused misfortune to my second brother..."
"How come there is an idiot like you in our Zhongsun family!" Zhongsun Chi couldn't believe it. Before he could finish his words, the stick rained down. One of the sticks was hit unsteadily on the bridge of Zhongsun Ce's nose, causing his nose to bleed immediately.
"Take it, take back the arrangements quickly!" The old man was angry and anxious and hit people with all his strength. At this moment, he felt a little out of breath.
After all, he was old. It was Zhongsun Mou who bought the elixir from Qingfu Temple to extend his life. Otherwise, his life span would have been exhausted and his old body would have been buried at sea long ago.
The maid next to him quickly stroked his chest and patted his back, and gave him some ointment that could help relieve pain and regulate qi.
Zhongsun Ce bowed his head beside him and remained silent.
After a while, Zhong Sunchi took a deep breath and said, "You think I don't know how unpleasant the rumors outside are? But the more times like this come, the harder it is for Fu Shanyue and the boy named He to kill them! If they have any shortcomings, they can kill each other with one spear.
They are all pointing at us! Baidu has been slow to investigate the case of the immortal medicine, and he keeps a close eye on us. Seeing something happen to Prince Chiyan, do you think he will let us go and not investigate?"
Zhongsun Ce started to speak but stopped.
"The emperor has always suspected that I am using the elixir for personal use. What good will it do to my family if I let him add to his resentment now!" Zhong Sunchi was so angry that his beard was trembling. "If you kill Fu Shanyue's men, will Mou'er be able to come back?"
?Are you sure this can avenge Mou'er?"
Zhongsun Ce asked suspiciously: "Grandpa Zeng, have you really taken the elixir of youth?"
"Of course not!" Zhong Sunchi denied it flatly, feeling ice-cold in his heart.
If this matter is confirmed, the Zhongsun family will be in catastrophe. The emperor may still care about affection, but God has always been ruthless.
"But..." Zhongsun Ce swallowed back the rest of his words and finally changed his words, "I'm going to take back the arrangements."
Zhongsun Chi continued: "Fu Shanyue is indeed bullying others too much. You can go back and find the Fan brothers."
Zhongsun Ce's eyes brightened: "Grandpa Zeng is right. Fan Sheng and Fan Bao were defeated by He in public. It was much more embarrassing than us. Commander Fan will definitely not be able to swallow this breath!"
"Don't be in a hurry, think about it in the long term." Zhong Sunchi urged him, "You withdraw your arrangements first, go quickly, go quickly!"
Alas, if these younger generations could be as cunning and cunning as 20% of human beings, he wouldn't have to worry like this.
Zhongsun Ce couldn't stand him, so he bowed and walked out.
But before he could get out of the second door, he almost ran into a servant who rushed in.
His face darkened: "How do you walk?"
"I'm wrong, I don't have eyes. I'm worried!" The servant quickly came over and looked at Zhongsun Chi behind him, "Old Master, there's something urgent!"
There was nothing urgent about Zhongsun Chi, but he still said: "Speak."
"Important news came from the lower city. The Nancheng Posthouse exploded." The servant was still panting, "It's the Posthouse where Prince Chiyan lives. It exploded!"
"What did you say!" Zhong Sunchi stood up loudly, no longer even using a cane, "Who was killed in the explosion?"
"I haven't heard of anyone dying." The servant's words made Zhongsun Chi breathe a sigh of relief, but he then added, "But it seems that someone under the prince's command was injured."
Zhongsun Chi grabbed the crutch and hit Zhongsun Ce with his backhand: "Kneel down, you bastard!"
Zhongsun Ce was shocked: "Grandpa Zeng, it's not..."
The word "I" didn't come out of his mouth. He remembered that the servant was still standing aside, and immediately pointed out: "Get out!"
After the servant quickly rolled away, he knelt down and said, "Grandpa Zeng, I definitely didn't do this!"
"Yes it is, no means no, how can there be a 'certainty'?" Zhongsun Chi frowned angrily, "Who are you going to tell him to deal with He Xiao, and how are you going to deal with him?"
"The two people we found from Yinsong Gambling House in the Lower City won't be able to trace me even if they are exposed." Zhongsun Ce quickly said, "But this He Xiao, it is said that Cen Boqing went to the spell master to deal with him but was defeated. He went to Fan Sheng to beat him.
He didn't even succeed in beating him. I thought he was not afraid of spells and was very powerful, so I told them to use poison."
"Grandpa Zeng, you know me. Methods like explosions are too eye-catching and I will never use them!"
Zhongsun Chi snorted, thinking about how much basis his great-grandson had for what he said: "Didn't you miss a single word?"
"No, no!"
Zhong Sunchi's eyes flashed: "Who could have done it?"
The Cen family or Yao Xingning?
Zhongsun Ce shook his head, "Although no one died in Fushanyue, this still teaches them a lesson. Don't walk with your tail up in Lingxu City!"
Zhongsun Chi said solemnly: "Who teaches whom? Will Fushan Yue suffer from this? You had a dispute with him in Dunyuan a few days ago and even made a move. Do you think he will doubt you?"
"Well……"
"He doubts you, and the government office investigating his case will also doubt us!" Zhong Sunchi pressed his forehead, "Did the two people you found from the gambling house actually do anything? Don't let others find out at the same time!"
"I'll ask immediately."
"If they have already done anything -" Zhong Sunchi flipped his wrist and made an arc slash.
"My great-grandson knows."
…
A few hours ago.
The post house was filled with flames.
In the dead of night, the explosion was so loud that it shook the sky, and all nearby residents, whether they were monsters or humans, were alarmed.
You must know that this is the post office area where foreign envoys gather!
The last time there was an incident in the post office area, it was just two thieves who went in to steal property and were wanted throughout the city. Hundreds of policemen chased and intercepted them. They were forced out by using a sea of ​​​​people tactics. Later, the government office sentenced them severely, and both of them were sentenced to death.
Cut off a hand.
Everyone knows not to stir up trouble here.
It's better now, what about an explosion late at night?
The county captain of Nancheng Bureau lived not far away. He was awakened by the explosion, put on his clothes and hurried over.
When he arrived, the fire in the posthouse had just been extinguished. The scene was filled with gray smoke and black or white fragments flying in the air. The wind drove them into people's eyes, and the choking smoke made people shed tears.
The county lieutenant was more nervous than anyone else: "What's going on? Is anyone injured?"
Something happened to the post house, and it was related to his black gauze hat.
"Prince Chiyan's special envoy and two guards were injured. The incident occurred in the east wing of the second floor, the room closest to the corner." His subordinate pointed to him, "It is far away from other rooms, so other guests were not injured; downstairs
It was the kitchen and woodshed, and no one was there at the time."
The county lieutenant walked inside and asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince injured?"
"No, he was far away from the explosion point." The official said, "We sent people to continue checking at the incident site to see if there is any other gunpowder that has not exploded."
The county captain breathed a sigh of relief and walked into another row of guest rooms in the post house.
The original residence was no longer safe, so Fu Shanyue and others temporarily settled here after the explosion.
When the county captain saw Prince Chiyan, he immediately saluted and asked about his welfare.
Fu Shanyue's face turned frosty: "I haven't been to Lingxu City for eight years, and the public security has actually deteriorated to such an extent that even someone dares to attack the post house?"
In the cold weather of late autumn, sweat suddenly broke out on the county captain's back:
"I must get to the bottom of this humble job!"
He went to comfort several wounded people. Both guards were slightly injured. One was scratched on the face by the debris from the explosion, and the other was overturned by the air wave. He felt dizzy when he got up.
But the crown prince's envoy was more seriously injured than any of them. His face was covered with blood, and his cough was bloody. The doctor checked his pulse and said he had injured his internal organs.
The prince's special envoy said that when he and the prince returned from going out for a drink, he was about to go into the house, but suddenly he felt anxious and turned around and walked out.
As soon as I stepped out of the house, within two steps, the house exploded.
He was blown several feet away, crashed through the wall and fell into the other envoys' rooms, causing the men and women to scream.
Fortunately, he was not at the center of the explosion and had a defensive weapon on him, so he was not killed.
But he was always groggy and had a splitting headache.
While he was talking, blood started to flow from the special envoy's nose. The county captain quickly asked him to have a good rest.
At this time, my subordinates came to report that a witness had discovered the suspect!
The county captain strode out.
As soon as he left, Fushan Etsu came in with his hind legs, looked at He Lingchuan and said:
"Is your internal organs really okay?"
He knew how tenacious this boy was. Feng Mo couldn't kill him, Fu Shanyue himself couldn't kill him, and Fan Sheng couldn't kill him either.
Would a small explosion do the trick?
"You can't die." He Lingchuan rinsed his mouth with water, and the foam on the spittoon was still red, "But the explosion was a bit harsh."
He also wiped away the blood coming from under his nose.
Fu Shanyue's eyes flashed with violence: "Who do you think did it?"
If the opponent ambushed him instead of He Lingchuan, Fu Shanyue didn't think he would die, but the feeling of being plotted was always very unpleasant!
"The list of suspects is quite long." He Lingchuan smiled bitterly, "How many people have I offended along the way?"
Fu Shanyue patted him on the shoulder: "They came for me, and they just used you to demonstrate."
Otherwise, why wouldn't the explosives be placed in his house? He knew all the details of this.
Jiao Yu also jumped in: "Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?"
He Lingchuan glared at it: "Who is the chicken?" Does knowing two idioms mean you are literate?
Jiao Yu snored at him twice, and then said to Fu Shanyue: "The coachman of the post house happened to get up at night. Less than ten breaths after the explosion, he saw a man in black climbing over the wall from the yard below the envoy and heading towards Baishi Street.
Now, your skills are strong."
