Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 84: Floating Life and Clear Dreams Are Yellow (2)
The black curtain in the sky gradually opened up, and the sun shot out the first ray of light of the day. The light shined through the window paper and onto Ping Si's sleepy face. His eyelashes fluttered. Before he could open his eyes, he stood up from the chair.
Fall down.
"You...who are you?" Just as Hei Si was rubbing his butt to calm down, a weak and hoarse voice suddenly came from the bed.
Ping Si was startled and immediately ran over and shouted in surprise: "Master Ruan, are you awake? I am Ping Si!"
"Ping Si?" Ruan Lang held his heavy head and slowly sat up on the bed board.
Ping Si helped him sit up and quickly took a bowl of water and handed it to him.
Ruan Lang took the water bowl and drank several sips, calmed down, then looked at the furnishings in the room and murmured: "Where am I?"
Ping Si put the water bowl on the table and said softly: "It's at the doctor's house! Don't you remember it at all? Last night, I saw you fainted on the street, so I sent you to the hospital.
!」
Ruan Lang held his groggy head and tried his best to recall everything that happened last night. Suddenly, the madam's sad cry and Wang Jing's yinous laughter appeared in front of him again, and he immediately lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed.
However, his whole body was injured and he couldn't exert any strength. He stood up suddenly and immediately fell back on the bed. He lay there gasping for breath, staring angrily at the ceiling, secretly hating his own incompetence, and even more
I hate Wang Jing's shamelessness and cruelty.
Ping Si looked at him with compassion and advised softly: "Master Ruan, your injuries are too serious, you should rest for a while!"
"Leave me alone! I'm going to save people!" Ruan Lang pushed himself up and stumbled to the ground.
Pingsi knew Wang Jing's character, and thought that it would be useless for Ruan Lang to go there at this time, and that he would be persecuted again by Wang Jing. But he was stupid and didn't know how to dissuade him.
When he was in trouble, the doctor opened the door and walked in. Seeing Ruan Lang struggling to move forward, he exclaimed: "This strong man is really a god! He was so seriously injured and he woke up so quickly!"
I have been practicing medicine for decades and this is the first time I have seen him!"
Ruan Lang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth and said every word: "I can't die now. If I die, she won't be able to survive!"
Although the doctor didn't understand what he was talking about, Nuxu smiled and said: "Although the strong man is a god, he is also a mortal body, not an indestructible body. You are so seriously injured, you can only rest in bed now, otherwise
Even if you want to live, I'm afraid you won't be able to!"
Ping Si walked over to support Ruan Lang and advised him gently: "It's better to listen to the doctor's advice and have a good rest here. Whether you want to save people or kill people, you have to leave a life."
Ruan Lang pushed him away, as if holding up two legs as heavy as elephant legs, slowly rubbing on the ground and walking forward, turning a deaf ear to the words of Ping Si and the doctor.
At this time, the back of his head stung like it was burning, his eyes were blurred and he could not see, his chest and lungs were hard, and every beat caused severe pain throughout his body.
Sweat had soaked his close-fitting clothes, and the bandage wrapped around his head was once again soaked with blood. But he gritted his back teeth and moved forward hard. He did not dare to imagine what would happen to his lover if he fell.
Suddenly, the back of his neck felt sore and numb, and then darkness struck again.
In the darkness, his lover's face floated towards him, saying goodbye to him with a smile. He hurriedly wanted to hug that face. But it was too late. Soon, his lover's face flew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared out of thin air.
Disappeared.
Everything fell into darkness again, and even he himself disappeared...
However, he and Heping Si did not know that another storm had set off in the Imperial Guards Department, and Ruan Lang, as the center of the storm, became a wanted criminal in the city overnight.
Although Wang Su was angry with Wang Jing again, he was his only son after all. He had planned a big drama all the way from the mansion to the Royal Guards Department. Not only could he save Wang Jing's life, but he could also make use of this incident to
Make a comeback by yourself!
Pingyang Hou and his son were lying on two clean tables, their bodies covered with white cloths. All the officials in the Imperial Guard were frightened and stood in two rows dejectedly. They knew they had caused trouble and did not dare to express their anger.
"You bastard! There are so many people and you can't even look at two people.
Okay! What do I need you for?" Wang Su shouted anxiously as soon as he walked in the door, he roared and cursed everyone.
"You guys have realized your mistake! Master Shangshu, please spare your life!" All the government officials knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged.
"What's the point of begging me? The person who died is a relative of the emperor! If the emperor finds out, you will all implicate the nine tribes!" Wang Su was so angry that his words scared everyone out of their wits. There were already faint sounds of sobbing in the crowd.
Wang Jing rolled his eyes, walked out of the crowd, and said righteously: "Father, you are aware of this! Everyone is also a victim in this matter! There is another hidden story in this case!"
No one expected that Wang Jing, who had always been a coward and playboy, would step forward in times of trouble. All the soldiers and generals looked at him gratefully, and their hearts were moved.
Wang Su narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Now that things have happened, what else can be hidden?"...
Wang Jing cleared her throat and used her sharp tongue to exaggerate the facts, turning it into another story with a completely different ending:
On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ruan Lang was originally on duty, but Ruan Lang led everyone to gamble and drink. Some government officials even advised him on the importance of guarding the Marquis of Pingyang, but he went his own way and led everyone to get drunk.
Save personnel...
Wang Su twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, then sneered: "Do you have any evidence for saying this?"
Before Wang Jing could speak, Yaoliu had crawled over, pointed at the mess and said: "Master Shangshu, those wine jars and food were all bought by Ruan Lang himself. That is evidence! Low-level officials dare not lie!"
Gou San also hurriedly added: "I just checked when I came here, and the wine was spiked with a lot of drugs! This is the evidence that Ruan Lang has charmed us! If he had no evil intentions, why did he stun us! Please, Lord Shangshu
You see clearly! You guys are wronged!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ah Hu continued: "At that time, Mr. Wang also advised Ruan Lang that guarding Pingyang Hou and his son was important, but Ruan Lang did not listen to the dissuasion and forced Mr. Wang to go drinking. He must have planned it in advance.
!」
"Where is Ruan Lang?" At this point, Wang Su just took advantage of the situation.
"Everyone obeys the order. Now the whole city is looking for Ruan Lang. If you catch this person, you will be rewarded!" When he learned that Ruan Lang was missing, it played into Wang Su's heart! He immediately issued a wanted order.
After a pause, he turned to look at Wang Jing: "Once the emperor discovers that the two of them died in an unexpected situation, he will definitely investigate to the end. At that time, none of you can run away, and you will inevitably commit a serious crime against the nine tribes! For the current plan, the only way is to change the pillars and make the two of them.
There is no flaw in the person's death. Even if the emperor is angry again, there is no way to investigate! Fortunately, both the police and the criminal department are our people, so this matter is easy to handle. However, if the emperor asks, do you know how to answer? "
Wang Jing rolled his eyes, and the lies came to him at his fingertips: "This matter is indeed the fault of the Imperial Guards, but the prison environment has always been bad, and the Marquis of Pingyang cannot stand this environment because of his old age. Although Zhang Heng is in his prime, he fell ill a while ago.
Then I couldn’t afford to fall ill..."
Wang Su twisted his beard and nodded, then looked at a kind of government servant and asked in a deep voice: "What about you? Do you know what to say?"
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "Young men know what to say! Please rest assured, Lord Shangshu."
Wang Su's sinister gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said sternly: "You are all Jing'er's confidants. I managed to save the lives of your clan today! You must know how to repay your kindness!"
Everyone kowtowed again and raised their voices: "Young men, you will swear to be loyal to your Majesty the Minister and the Commander-in-Chief!"
The whole thing finally came to an end, in the way that Wang and his son expected. So when they learned from the housekeeper that Mrs. Ruan had committed suicide by drowning herself, they did not feel panic at all but felt relieved - the only witness was like this
No more, no one will know what happened last night!
However, Wang Jing still couldn't restrain her curiosity afterwards and asked Wang Su why he didn't find the murderer!
And Wang Su's answer taught him a lesson: once it is confirmed that this incident is a murder, the emperor will definitely order them to find the murderer. Once the murderer is not found, the Yushou Si will be charged with dereliction of duty with an additional level, and even if he does not die, he will be completely cut off.
career.
Moreover, to be able to plan such a horrific incident, the people behind it must be important officials in the court. They are doing this for the sake of Pingyang Hou, a pair of dead people.
It's not worth offending other people!
At the doctor's house, Pingsi stayed with Ruan Lang all night. When he couldn't hold it any longer, he put two chairs together and took a nap on them. But when he woke up, the bed was empty.
"Oops!" Ping Si touched the bed and saw that it was still warm. He immediately turned around and went out to chase after him. But as soon as he reached the door, he found Ruan Lang slumped on the ground in a daze.
His hair was unkempt, his eyes were red and swollen, his face was as white as paper, and his head was wrapped in a white cloth. He indeed smelled of alcohol, and there was half a jar of residual wine beside him.
After Ruan Lang woke up, he went to Wang Jing's house to rescue people, but his body was too weak. It took him a long time to move to the door, then he slumped on the ground as if he had given up on himself, drinking himself cup after cup.
Mrs. Ruan's voice and smile were still in front of his eyes, and he couldn't get rid of them. He could only pour glasses of strong wine into his stomach, letting the pain in his body overwhelm the pain in his heart.
"Master Ruan, you are still injured. It is not appropriate to drink at this time." A hand held down his wine glass. Pingsi squatted beside him with heavy steps.
"What do you know! You can only kill people after you have drunk enough!" Ruan Lang pushed his hand away and took a sip of wine, his hoarse voice full of grief and anger.
Pingsi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master Ruan, something big happened in the prison last night! Pingyang Hou and his son... were killed."
Ruan Lang's hand holding the wine glass paused, and he said coldly: "If you die, you will die, it's none of my business!"
Ping Si pondered for a while and then said: "The emperor asked us to take good care of Pingyang Hou and his son, but now we have neglected our duties. I am afraid that if the emperor blames us, we will all suffer. So, now is not the time to drink too much!"
Ruan Lang drew out his sword, rubbed the sharp blade, and said solemnly: "Okay! If we die together, no one can escape the relationship! If the emperor asks, I will tell you clearly what happened that night!"
"No!" Ping Si suddenly shouted at him seriously, but after he stopped, he was speechless. He didn't know how to explain the current situation to him. After a long while, he said again: "Master Ruan, listen to my advice.
Don’t think about Shouji’s matter for now. I’ll ask for a few days off for you. You can go back and rest for a while to recover from your injuries.”
"Go back?" Ruan Lang looked at him with red eyes and laughed sadly: "Where to go back? I have nowhere to go now. I have no home anymore..."
