Because the young prefect of Li County was attacked and killed on the commercial street of his home in Li City. Although he himself was unharmed, it was said that a close palace attendant beside him was seriously injured.
In a small courtyard on the edge of the prefecture's palace, which is not far from the front and back palaces, the young palace attendant Cao Man was jogging in and out, changing water and food, and was busy all night. He didn't have time to take a bite of rice until noon.
.
Just as he was sitting on the threshold of the main room, quickly grabbing food, Luo Chuan, Siqi and the young female Taoist opened the courtyard door and walked in. He quickly put his rice bowl aside, took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground.
, "Meet the prefect."
"Get up," Luo Chuan walked to Cao Man and stood next to him, looked around and asked, "Where are the others?"
Cao Man stood up quickly and walked to the side of the road, bowing his head and saying, "When I return to the prefect, everyone has been assigned their affairs and has gone about their business."
"Oh?" Luo Chuan asked casually as he walked towards the main room, "Why didn't you leave?"
Cao Man lowered his hands and followed Siqi and the young female Taoist. Hearing this, he replied, "I asked for sick leave from the sergeant today, so I can stay here."
Luo Chuan hummed without comment and strode into the house. He found that Gao Shixian was lying on the bed in the back room and had not yet woken up. He lowered his voice and asked Cao Mandao, "The doctor is gone? How is Lao Gao's injury?"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Cao Man also said in a low voice, "The imperial doctor stayed here all night and left just after dawn. When he left, he said that the toxins that should have been fatal in the body of the chief minister had been removed for some reason, but he was still seriously injured.
His life is safe, but recovering from his injuries is difficult. If he does not recover well, he will inevitably fall into a bad situation."
Luochuan said calmly, "Go and call the imperial doctor for me."
Cao Man responded and turned around and ran away quickly.
Si Qi turned around and closed the door and said to Luo Chuan, "Everyone in the world is leaving for tea. Lao Gao hasn't left yet. The group of people gathered around him dispersed. If you had given me more instructions when I returned to the palace last night,
A few words probably wouldn't be enough, and the people onlookers might have thought that Lao Gao and his family had committed something yesterday."
Luo Chuan smiled slightly and said nothing. It didn't take long for several former palace doctors to rush over and kneel down side by side in front of Luo Chuan to salute.
Luo Chuan clasped his hands behind his back and asked, "Since the toxins in Lao Gao's body are gone, why is there still a risk of falling?"
After several imperial physicians looked at each other, the oldest one replied, "Reporting to the Grand Administrator, the tall minister was injured in the internal organs by the qi from a piercing spear. The qi in the body is disordered and it is difficult to regulate it smoothly. Therefore.
.....”
"It's not easy, but it's not impossible, right?" Luo Chuan asked.
Several imperial doctors lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Luo Chuan looked back at Gao Shixian's pale face and said, "Let him recover as soon as possible. If you need any precious medicinal materials, go to the private treasury of the palace to get them. Is there any problem?"
Several imperial doctors said that there was no problem.
Luochuan nodded and strode away without staying in the room for another moment.
When they were far out of the courtyard, Si Qi asked the palace attendants who were following Luo Chuan to go further away, then approached Luo Chuan and asked in a low voice, "This Cao Man seems to be quite well-behaved, and he also values love and justice.
....." She looked at Luo Chuan with a strange expression and said, "Given your temperament, shouldn't you reward him?"
Luo Chuan shook his head, "Human nature is actually a very complicated thing. How can this young palace waiter be such a well-behaved character? I'm afraid his heart is beyond your imagination, but... I want to be in this house
To get more in the palace, just being cruel is not enough."
Si Qi stared in surprise, confused.
Luo Chuan didn't explain anything. He just glanced at the shadow that appeared beside him at some point and asked, "How is it? Did you catch all those assassins?"
Shadow nodded, "We got a token of the Yin Spirit of Guang County from the person who first appeared, but this person really doesn't look like a Yin Spirit."
"Of course it's not the Yin Ling," Luo Chuan sneered, "The envoy from Guang County has just arrived in Licheng and before we can talk about the matter, the Yin Ling sent people to assassinate me, the prefect of Li County. How can such a thing happen? Regardless of this
Who is this person? That Yin Spirit token must be real, right?"
Shadow nodded.
"That's it," Luo Chuan said, "Since the assassins who assassinated the prefect of Li County in the street this time were clearly monsters, a hat from Guang County that is suspected of colluding with monsters can't escape. Now is the time before the civil and military uprising.
On the critical day, everyone in the world is staring at Li Cheng. No matter who is blaming Yun Bailou this time, they still have some moral principles."
"There are too many loopholes in such a thing. Anyone who is smart will know that it was not Yun Bailou who did it," Siqi murmured in a low voice.
Luo Chuan said, "In fact, the most difficult thing in the world to judge is whether it is true or false, but who really cares about the truth or falsehood when they talk about these things after dinner? We are not counting on these rumors to defeat Guangjun.
He looked at the shadow again and asked, "Where are the other two?"
"They were all caught. The deer-antler demon showed up and couldn't run away. The demon disguised as Lijun Qingqi was intercepted by the silversmith and handed over to us," Shadow said.
Luo Chuan was a little surprised and said, "Besides the deer-antler demon, the other one is also a demon?"
Shadow nodded, "The deer-antler demon must have practiced the art of transformation. As for the other one...it's the same as the demon that sneaked into Lu Dongfeng's house. We have already tortured them. These demons have different relationships with each other."
You probably don’t know.”
"I see. So it's hard to tell how many such monsters are lurking in Li City and even Li County..." Luo Chuan only mentioned it briefly and said no more.
Asked about another matter, "What was the reaction from the Guangjun Mission?"
The shadow said, "When General Luo led his troops there last night, the Guangjun envoy had opened the door for inspection. The Guangjun envoy even opened the bottom of the bed in his room for the garrison soldiers to inspect, along with the
The incoming carts of goods are also opened for inspection."
Luo Chuan frowned and said, "This envoy from Guang County... is a bit interesting." He thought for a while and asked, "What about the public opinion in the city?"
Shadow thought for a while before speaking, "There was a lot of commotion on the commercial street yesterday, and there were all kinds of things in the market." She paused for a while and then added, "Public opinion is unpredictable."
Luo Chuan frowned and glanced at her with a smile, "It's hard to predict the public opinion. It's always difficult to do this kind of thing at the beginning, but it will get better slowly." He looked into the distance and saw two palace waiters.
Under the guidance of the guide, a man came over and murmured, "You came back so soon..."
After hearing this, Siqi and others went to see the man, and saw that the man was dressed in rich clothes and had a square face. It was Su Yiming who was now the guest minister of Lijun.
Su Yiming quickly came to Luo Chuan and bowed. He waited until the two palace attendants around him had retreated far away, then approached Luo Chuan and said, "Your Excellency, the envoy who represents Guang County's will this time is called
As Zhang Ziheng?"
Luochuan nodded.
Su Yiming sighed softly and said, "This person is one of Yiming's senior brothers and a schemer who aspires to the world, so this time... there may be some trouble...
