Chapter 306 Household Affairs
When an accident occurred in Chang'an City, the security department had to shoulder the task of chasing the criminals. The originally festive wedding was also disturbed, and all etiquette was kept simple. Liu Yu and Qi'er had not passed the church and directly sent the bride to the bridal chamber. Then Liu Yu had to arrange other things and neglect Qi'er.
The city was in a panic. It was not until later that the Luang Kai-shek returned to the palace under the protection of the Imperial Guard. After that, Liu Yu, the vanguard general, cooperated with the Six Defense Offices of the City, and Li Mi, the chief general of the Dongshui Camp who entered the city, and Sui Yi, the prefect of Jingzhao, held an emergency meeting to discuss the arrest plan at night. Then a massive city cleaning activity was launched. Each yamen divided the responsibility areas and searched the Chang'an City from house to house.
The action was a thunderous action, and it was a thunderous action. There were no gains in one action. Many bandits and unregistered people hiding in Chang'an City. Among them, Liu Yu felt that the one who suspected that the perpetrator was some Turkish sentry detectives. Unfortunately, these sentry detectives were specially trained. They had been exposed and died directly, without any other valuable information. Starting that night, the direction of the investigation deep was also extended from the inside of the city to the outside of the city. Regardless of whether the perpetrator was still in the city, someone would definitely respond outside the city.
It was not until the second middle of the night that Liu Yu returned home. The explosion site outside the mansion and the broken limbs and arms had been cleaned up, and the wine tables and meals in the yard of the house had been cleaned up. Xu Xuanzhu was sorting out some gift lists in the main hall. Seeing Liu Yu coming back, Xu Xuanzhu's face was not too turbulent, and asked, "Honey, do you want to eat something?"
Not only did Xu Xuanzhu say that, Liu Yu didn't feel hungry. He couldn't bear it after saying this. Xu Xuanzhu asked the maid to prepare a midnight snack, and Liu Yu reluctantly ate some, as if he would be full after eating a few bites.
"Honey, did you find out who did it?" Xu Xuanzhu asked intentionally or unintentionally.
After getting married, Xu Xuanzhu rarely asked about political affairs. Even military affairs, if it weren't for Xu Caihua, Xu Xuanzhu wouldn't be willing to care about it. This time, she took the initiative to ask the assassin's situation, which showed her importance to this matter. The incident happened at her doorstep and was very targeted, just for Liu Yu and Xinhuang.
"I haven't investigated it yet." Liu Yu sighed. "It may be related to the Turkic people."
"Why do you always think outside? Maybe inside, there are people who want to make it difficult for the emperor and his husband to have a hard time!" Xu Xuan said.
Liu Yu heard that Xu Xuanzhu seemed to have something in his words. After careful consideration, Xu Xuanzhu's meaning was obvious to make him guard against the people around him. Unfortunately, those who are enemies of Liu Yu now, Yuan Bolang and his civil officials should not do this. The vassal king may not be able to arouse such great troubles. Could the rest be King Chu? Or the remnants of King Ding of Huai?
"Why don't you say something about it?"
Liu Yu stepped forward and grabbed Xu Xuanzhu's hand. Xu Xuanzhu looked at Liu Yu with a angrily and put down the gift list again.
"I think that being able to commit a crime in Chang'an City without being discovered in advance must be a very good understanding of Chang'an City. Except for the people in the court, others may not have such ability!"
Liu Yu was surprised and thought that this was the case.
He was so prepared and deployed in Chang'an City and escaped from investigation afterwards. That must have been the one who knew the military deployment of Chang'an City. Liu Yu had always thought about who could do this and who was the beneficiary of this matter. He ignored who had the conditions to do this.
But Liu Yu couldn't think of the exact person, but he probably felt that this dangerous person was very close to him.
"Go and accompany Sister Qi'er earlier, she's waiting for you in the room!" Xu Xuanzhu saw that Liu Yu had eaten but refused to leave, so he pushed Liu Yu and said.
Liu Yu smiled sternly on his face and said, "Sister Qi'er?"
Xu Xuanzhu said: "I have already seen her before. She was scared and now she is still hiding in the quilt and refuses to come out. I asked two maids to accompany her, but she probably won't be too relieved if she didn't see you."
Liu Yu nodded and sighed. Qi'er was also quite innocent. Seeing such a tragic incident on the wedding day must have touched her flawless heart. Now Qi'er is a part of the family, and Liu Yu must also take on the responsibility of protecting her.
"I'm going, madam." Liu Yu said before parting.
Xu Xuanzhu pushed him again and said, "Mother-in-law, sister Qi'er must not be able to wait!"
Liu Yu left the main hall, and the entire vanguard General's Mansion was still shrouded in flames. The Imperial Guards and the female guards came in and out to prevent anyone from disturbing each other. Qi'er's new house was the west yard that was originally planned to entertain guests. The vanguard General's Mansion never had any guests, and the yard was quiet. However, when he arrived at the vanguard General's Mansion, Liu Yu still saw two rare guests, sister Liu Jue and little nephew Cao Zhan.
After midnight, the mother and son should have gone to bed, but because of the noise outside, Liu Jue dared to take Cao Zhan out and fetch water to wash his face.
"Uncle, is the bad guy holding him?" Cao Zhan jumped over and asked when he saw Liu Yu.
"Well. I've grabbed it, you can have a good sleep!" Liu Yu smiled.
Cao Zhan cheered and jumped into the door, but Liu Jue knew that things were not that simple, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Liu Yu knew what she wanted to say and said, "Brother Qi is still in the military camp today and has not followed the army into the city, so there will be no danger."
Liu Jue lowered her head shyly. In front of this younger brother, she wanted to ask about her lover's safety but couldn't hide her face, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Liu Jue and Cao Zhan both entered the house, Liu Yu entered the only small building in the west yard. When he entered the door, the maid was carrying tea and almost hit Liu Yu. The maid knelt in panic and said, "Master... I didn't do it on purpose."
"You are not blamed, the new lady... is the princess good?"
The maid said, "The princess refuses to see us and says she wants to wait for the master to come!"
Liu Yu knew that Qier was not a person who was good at being a slut. Although she was a princess, she was treated very strictly by the palace maids and female officials on weekdays and did not breed the princess' arrogance. This time she shouted at the maid, and she was obviously scared.
When Liu Yu arrived at the room, he could not see Qi'er. Looking carefully, he was covered with a quilt on the bed and could vaguely hear the sob crying.
"Qi'er."
Liu Yu shouted, and his crying stopped immediately. Qi'er wiped her tears and crawled out of the quilt. When she saw Liu Yu, she put the quilt down. At this time, Qi'er's face was covered with sweat and her whole face was red. Although she was lit with candles, Qi'er still liked to hide in the dark quilt.
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Yu said, "The bad guys have left."
"Qi'er is not a child, Brother Liu doesn't need to coax me like this."
Liu Yu's face turned red and he held Qi'er in his arms. His tentacles were full of sweat. (To be continued. If you like this work, (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.. to read.
