Chapter 60
In the palace.
"Emperor, Pingyang Hou asks for an audience."
The emperor put down the note and said, "why did the Duke of Pingyang ask for an audience at this time?" After thinking for a while, he said, "let him in."
"Yes, your majesty."
The eunuch slowly withdrew from the imperial study and said to the Pingyang Hou outside the door, "Hou ye, the emperor let you in."
The Duke of Pingyang nodded slightly, walked into the imperial study and knelt down to salute the emperor.
"See the emperor."
"Duke Pingyang, please get up and enter the palace today. What's the matter?"
The Duke of Pingyang stood up with a dignified face and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Just now, Gu Changgeng, the orphan of general Gu Yun, was chased and killed by two thieves in the street. He happened to be rescued by an outgoing dog. Now he is treated in the minister's house, but he is seriously injured. He is afraid of life!"
As soon as the voice fell, the emperor's face was gloomy and asked sternly, "where's the thief? Can you catch him?"
"The family attendants went after him, but they didn't catch him."
The emperor was furious, "bang", clapped heavily on the record and said, "bold thief! How dare you be so rampant in broad daylight in the imperial city!"
The Duke of Pingyang was terrified and said, "the emperor, stop your anger. Don't spoil the dragon's body because of the popularity of these thieves."
The emperor's sharp eyes narrowed slightly and shouted in a deep voice, "Li Quan, come in!"
Eunuch manager Li Quan immediately came in, "emperor."
The emperor angrily ordered, "go to the imperial medical office immediately and ask the imperial doctor to go to Pingyang Marquis house to treat Gu Changgeng. If Gu Changgeng is not safe, I will cut off the heads of these quacks!"
"Yes, your majesty. I'll do it now."
"Wait, give an order to the Yulin army to close the city gate and thoroughly investigate the imperial city. Even if every family is searched by me, we should find these two rampant thieves!"
"Yes, I do."
Li Quan led the order. The Duke of Pingyang stood in the imperial library, trembling in his heart. The emperor was so angry. Fortunately, he went into the palace and reported it. If Gu Changgeng didn't protect his life, he would be blamed for the whole Duke of Pingyang's house.
……
Duke of Pingyang.
When the Duke of Pingyang returned to his house, he brought a group of Royal doctors and poured into the East chamber. A group of people crowded around Gu Changgeng, who was seriously injured and unconscious on his bed. They took their pulse, checked the injury and wrote prescriptions. There were countless precious medicinal materials on the list. They even asked people to get Millennium ginseng and let Gu Changgeng keep his life in his mouth.
A group of imperial doctors stood nervously before the collapse, fearing that Gu Changgeng, who was weak in breathing, would lose his breath the next moment.
Lin Qingqian's face turned white and he was unwilling to leave in the wing room. He was afraid to follow her after spring and summer.
Shen Fei thought for a moment and advised, "miss three, I'll arrange another wing room. Go and have a rest. There are royal doctors here. Childe Gu will be fine."
Lin Qingqian shook his head, "no, I'm watching here."
Shen Fei had no choice but to let her go. He thought to himself: it seems that Prime Minister Lin's family treated Gu Changgeng very well, which was said in the palace that day.
Nevertheless, Shen Fei sent someone to the prime minister's house to tell him that they were chased and killed by thieves. Now they are in the Duke's house of Pingyang.
……
Prime Minister's house, Lin langtian's wing room.
A man in black came in quietly, knelt in front of Lin langtian and said, "master, Zhang San and Li Si failed to assassinate Gu Changgeng. Now they are in the basement."
Lin langtian's elegant face was instantly torn, his eyes were as cold as frost, and his brush was broken by his fingers.
"Go."
Lin langtian twisted a mechanism on the bookshelf. The bookshelf moved away and revealed a secret door. He stepped into the secret door. The man in black followed him. After they entered the secret door, the bookshelf moved back to its original position.
A dark basement.
When Lin langtian came, Zhang Sanli Si immediately knelt down, pale and said, "my subordinates failed to complete the task, please punish me!"
Lin Lang asked coldly, "why did you miss?"
The two looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. Zhang San said, "back to the master, the subordinates instinctively and easily got rid of Gu Changgeng, but the third Miss obstructed it many times. Later, when the prince of Pingyang came with his attendants, the subordinates had to retreat immediately."
As soon as the voice fell, Lin langtian kicked Zhang San on the chest and sneered, "waste, can anyone believe this? A little girl without chicken binding power can stop you many times?"
Zhang San was kicked to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood, but immediately knelt down and said in fear: "master, everything under her is true. The third Miss stopped us again and again, which is very difficult. After we stabbed Gu Changgeng, the third Miss took him away. We were about to catch up. The third Miss threw silver on the road, provoked the people to rush up to pick up the silver and blocked our way."
Zhang San paused. His chest hurt so much that he gritted his teeth and endured it. He continued: "we caught up with Gu Changgeng again. He was injured. We were going to take his life. Unexpectedly, Miss San came back and talked to deceive his subordinates. His subordinates were dazzled by Miss San with quicklime powder for a moment, and Li Si was stabbed in the chest by Gu Changgeng's dagger. Then the prince of Pingyang came."
Lin langtian thought for a moment, "did the third lady go out of the house with Gu Changgeng?"
"No, Gu Changgeng went out first and met three young ladies in the street. They played together."
Lin langtian stood up without saying anything. After a long time, he asked, "how was Gu Changgeng hurt?"
"Gu Changgeng took a sword on his shoulder and back. It should be a serious injury."
Lin langtian frowned slightly. The man in black who followed him in said in a low voice, "master, do you want to go there in person in the cold night and take Gu Changgeng's life?"
"No, now that the Duke's office in Pingyang knows about this, it's impossible for the emperor to know that Gu Changgeng was assassinated. Let's wait and see what happens first."
The cold night said, "yes, how to deal with that three Li four?"
"Each receives a fine of 50 lashes and is locked up in a water prison."
Kneeling on the ground, Zhang Sanli and Si trembled and looked pale. Few people could come out alive after entering the water prison, but they didn't dare to beg for mercy.
Lin langtian saw them and turned out of the basement.
When I returned to the study, the voice of housekeeper Fu sounded outside.
"Xiangye."
"Well, what's up?"
"Just now, the servants of Pingyang Marquis House said that miss three and Gu Changgeng were chased by thieves in the street, and Gu Changgeng was seriously injured. Both of them are now in Pingyang Marquis house, and..."
"What else?"
"The emperor was so angry that he ordered the Yulin army to close the city gate for a thorough investigation. It is bound to find out the two thieves."
Lin langtian frowned and could guess the emperor's mind.
In the Imperial City, at the foot of heaven, someone can assassinate and disappear without trace. The emperor must feel threatened and want to investigate thoroughly.
After a while, Lin langtian said, "I see. Prepare a carriage. I'm going to Pingyang Hou's house."
"Yes, the servant will order someone to prepare the carriage now."
"Emperor, Pingyang Hou asks for an audience."
The emperor put down the note and said, "why did the Duke of Pingyang ask for an audience at this time?" After thinking for a while, he said, "let him in."
"Yes, your majesty."
The eunuch slowly withdrew from the imperial study and said to the Pingyang Hou outside the door, "Hou ye, the emperor let you in."
