In the grand Ming Dynasty Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, assassins were rampant in broad daylight.
Not only did Zhang Mao not believe this, but Yin Wuxiong of Yingtian Prefecture did not believe it. Even Xu Furong, Zheng Qiang and others could not believe it at all. At this moment, when a group of people gathered in Nanjing Imperial College after Zhang Mao delivered the letter, they saw
Xu Xun, whose bed was as white as a sheet of paper, all looked at each other for a moment. Especially when they learned that the person with an injured arm was Xu Liang, the protagonist of the rumors these days, the expressions on the faces of these big bosses became even more intense after they exchanged glances with each other.
Gloomy.
As the host, Zhang Mao had already asked Xu Liang about the whole story. Now he invited everyone to sit down in the front room. He cleared his throat and explained the whole story. Finally, he asked Xu Liang
Is there anything to add? Seeing that Xu Liang, who had drank the sobering soup, obviously still hadn’t fully recovered, he just said in a deep voice: "The doctor just said, if it is off by an inch, it is the heart, and there is no luck in it."
; If it had been half an inch deeper, the arm would have been useless. Fortunately, the meridians were not injured, and he could recover after just a while. But this thing is really ugly. Although this child has not entered school, he has always been a good person.
How could someone be so unfavorable to someone who is so good and so good? And what happened to the previous rumors? "
A noble character? A warm heart in ancient ways? Fu Rong listened to this eight-character comment. Even though he had always thought highly of Xu Xun, at this moment, he felt more like Yihe was dumbfounded. Any scholar would be able to get such a comment from Zhang Mao.
He tried hard to fight for it, but Xu Xun succeeded easily and skillfully. In addition, he escaped from the disaster today, which was really a first-class luck. However, when he thought about what happened today, he almost ruined his arrangement.
After learning about the important matter of Xiao Jing, the eunuch in charge of the eunuch's seal, he suddenly became serious again.
Seeing everyone here looking at him, Yin Wuxiong of Yingtian Prefecture, who rushed over even though he was sick, was exhausted, but he still cheered up and said: "Such an appalling thing has happened. A thorough investigation should be carried out immediately. Let the Beicheng soldiers
Ma Si and Yuanxian went to handle it together. The first thing about Xu Jin going to Yingtian Mansion to report him, Official Shen had just said, he would be convicted and hanged in a tomb. As for his shameless mother from Dan family, they were also
Judgment of crime by roaring in court. As for rumors..."
"Not all rumors are rootless."
With these words, Chen Jin raised the door curtain and entered the room. Now he is no longer the only one with the title of Jinyiwei commanding Jin affairs, but has been ordered to assist Nanjing Jinyiwei. Therefore, although he is not equal to everyone present, but
He already had enough right to speak. After bowing to everyone, he cleared his throat and said: "I caught all the dogs Xu Jin sent to dig graves. I told them the truth after a whip."
.Xu Liang, when he and others went to dig, they found that your son's coffin was indeed empty. It was absolutely true and it was not a lie. We are all in custody at Jinyiwei. Your Excellencies can interrogate you at any time, and you can also ask Xu Jin to identify him.
."
At this point, no one here is a fool, and naturally they all understand that the uproar these days is probably actually work. Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Mao frowned and said: "These are circumstantial work."
…”
"Not really."
Wu Xiong interrupted. Seeing that everyone was looking at him again, he signaled to Officer Shen who was standing next to him. He saw that in front of Officer Shen holding several certificates, there were the midwives who had delivered Xu Liang's son back then.
The old servants who had served Xu Xun when he was a child included the helpers who had hired him to make graves, and the doctors who had treated Xu Liang's son... There were seven or eight testimonies. After everyone read them one by one, Wu Xiong spoke again.
: "This is all brought by Xu Jin. Of course, some people will inevitably say that he has planned it for a long time. To be honest, I don't really believe it, but delaying Xu Xun's life experience is not a solution. Why don't you investigate it carefully, Mr. Chen?"
Check it out."
Fu Rong didn't expect Wu Xiong to push this matter over lightly and skillfully. He was overjoyed and immediately nodded to Chen Lu and said: "Master Wu said so, just go and check. Anyway, our family doesn't care who he is."
My son, I only know that this child is loyal, filial and kind, and he is also the savior of my stupid son.
By the way, you will also investigate this case today. If you don’t use the Jinyi Guards Cavalry for such a huge matter, when will you use it?"
Even Zhang Mao, who disliked the word "Jinyiwei" the most, actually acquiesced after hearing this. Wei Guogong Xu, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Xu Liang and asked: "The assassin came here strangely today, but you are drunk.
How could you notice the wine?"
"I..." Xu Liang saw that everyone here was looking at him. When he thought of the danger at that time, he wanted to tell the whole story, but when he spoke, he remembered those past events, and he finally had to choose to be vague.
His words were, "To be honest with you, my lords, I come from a military family, but I am not the eldest son, so I was not able to inherit the military position. However, I practiced archery and horse riding in my early years, and even followed my elders to chase down a bandit once. Between bandits
I often use whistles to communicate. I heard this sound in the alley, so I was more alert, but I didn’t expect that it would be a bow and arrow..."
How could it be a bow and arrow? When he got the news and rushed over, he found clearly broken crossbow parts left behind! More importantly, even if Xu Liang had chased down the bandit, he would not have been familiar with it to this extent, unless he had it as a child.
What an unforgettable memory!
Chen Lu's expression suddenly changed, and when he saw everyone else frowning, he felt that Xu Liang, the bad old man, was smarter than he thought. Seeing that everyone else was still pondering, Fu Rong immediately said with finality: "This matter has made Chen Lu fine
Check, I think as Xu Liang said, it's mostly bandits. After all, it's early in the morning in Yingtian, and it's common for hungry people to commit robberies. However, these bandits don't just go out and hurt people in broad daylight for no reason, there must be someone colluding with them.
Bandit, Xu Liang, please go back with our family."
After hearing this, several first-rate bosses looked at each other for a while and nodded. Without thanking them, everyone left one after another.
A total of three people came to Yingtian Mansion, Wu Xiong, Xu You and Shen Tuiguan, all together. Fu Rong wanted to take Xu Xun back, but if Ren Ren hadn't woken up yet, Zhang Mao said again that he would leave people behind in his house.
The official was recuperating, so he didn't force him and just took Xu Liang away. As for Xu, after leaving the house, he chased Fu Rong without saying a word and insisted on going all the way; but after a while, in the huge room,
It was already empty, with only Zhang Mao left.
"What an unforeseen disaster... Well, if the customs in Jiangnan are like this, it would be great if there were more young men like this!"
Xu Xun woke up in and out, and didn't wake up completely until the evening of the third day. When Zhang Mao rushed over, he learned that he was recuperating in the official residence of Mr. Zhang, the Imperial College priest, and that for three days, he was...
Everyone was a little confused, and they couldn't figure out what was going on now. After listening to Zhang Mao explaining to himself this unreasonable disaster, he learned that the public opinion on the streets of Nanjing had become one-sided overnight.
signs.
These days, the fact that he is Xu Liang's son seems to have become a certainty. But everyone is touting his great filial piety. Why he still resolutely defends his biological father Xu Liang even though his life experience is unknown, it is as vivid as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Just average! God knows he was just hit by an arrow, but when did he block it?
Zhang Mao had heard of the story of Xu Xun being injured and going into the water to save Fu Heng'an, but it was far less appreciated than the story of Xu Xun who took the risk of sneaking into the Imperial College and giving someone a heads-up. Last time, the emperor awarded Xu Xun Zhao Qin's mansion as a reward.
The act of filial piety was to compensate his fiancée Shen for jumping into the river. After Xu Xun accepted it, he loaned it to him, but he did not take any money. He named poor students to take the provincial examinations and literary conferences, etc. He could not help but appreciate this young man who understood the righteousness more.
Now. He heard the idea of blocking arrows with his own ears from Xu Liang, and it was also said by him, a well-educated scholar. Therefore, even though Xu Xun's face was still blank, he naturally regarded it as an injury and coma.
Caused by taking too long.
"Well done, I saw you right! You take good care of your injuries. Eunuch Fu has sent two of your servants over. You can live here with me in peace."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"Thank you for nothing. It's just a little effort for me to free up a house. If the imperial court hadn't just praised your filial piety, you should be praised again for your righteous deeds. I think the public can just follow your example!"
Even though his head was still confused, Xu Xun immediately bowed down and showed humility. When he saw Zhang Mao leaving the room, Ruisheng rushed forward and threw himself on the bed. His nose twitched for a while and he was about to cry. He quickly flicked his finger on the bed.
on the little guy's forehead.
"Okay, okay, don't be busy crying yet.
My mind is confused, please tell me what is going on outside in detail. Tao Hong, if Ruisheng can't explain, please remember to add more."
Facts have proved that Xu Xun's plan for a rainy day was absolutely necessary. Although Ruisheng sniffed hard to stop his tears, after all, he had been a crybaby since he was a child.
That explanation.
As expected of his always eager to learn, Tao Hong was extremely eloquent. From when Xu Liang was lonely and his child was seriously ill and couldn't bear to bury it, so he entrusted it to Xu Bian;
But it happened that Xu Liang left home for some reason. Because he had no children, he took the child back and treated him as his own. He went out again a short time later and was never heard from again. Mr. Xu had vague knowledge about it.
So the ancestral hall took advantage of this to create trouble. After Zhao Qin was defeated, Xu Jin was punished by the staff and held a grudge, so he prepared all kinds of evidence. The few losers sent to the tomb were taken away by the Jinyi guards and sent to the Yingtian Mansion... The little guy said
It's so vivid and vivid that if Xu Xun hadn't been the one involved, it would have been like a bloody eight o'clock family ethics drama.
"Okay, forget about that, what's the point of me blocking Uncle Xu's arrow?"
After a while, Xu Xun still couldn't change his mind, so he could only keep shouting. However, at this time, Rui Sheng and Tao Hong both looked at him with strange expressions. After a while, Rui Sheng reached out to explore.
Xu Xun touched his forehead again solemnly, and finally said strangely: "The young master doesn't have a fever. Is it because he has been sleeping for too long that he has forgotten such an important thing?"
Tao Hong was finally smarter than Ruisheng. Seeing that Xu Xun's face turned a little dark, he quickly said: "Young Master
