The other party was a little stunned. He didn't expect Su Rong to ask this. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. We are doing this job according to your order, so we are naturally well prepared."
"Really?" Su Rong looked behind him worriedly, and called Wang Tuiguan loudly. When Wang Tuiguan also ran over, he said, "The thieves are so bold. You gentlemen can escape once, but what if there are thieves who are not resolute in the future? It happens that our family and the Wang family are good friends, and we have encountered such a thing. There is really no reason to stay out of it. Why don't you let me help and escort them together?"
What assassin
Such a move at this time is obviously not well-intentioned.
After thinking about it, Su Rong immediately realized what the other party wanted to do. In the final analysis, it was clear that he wanted to prevent Mrs. Wang Wu from entering the palace.
But since the first strike failed, he was thinking of doing something bad in the middle.
Fortunately, he arrived in time, and fortunately, Wang Yuerong was alert.
The young general frowned and was about to retort, but Wang Tuiguan clapped his hands and said, "If Lord Bo says so, that's even better!"
Magistrate Wang was a perceptive man and had already realized that something was wrong. They in Shuntian Prefecture did not want to be involved in such messy affairs. An assassin appeared on the street in broad daylight. If Mrs. Wang Wu did anything wrong, they in Shuntian Prefecture would be accused of incompetence.
Considering this, of course it would be best if Mrs. Wang Wu could enter the palace to meet the emperor safely. He would not interfere with other matters.
Without waiting for those people to say anything, Su Rong laughed loudly: "Okay! Then I'll trouble you all."
After he finished speaking, he personally helped the unconscious Master Wang Wu to wake up, frowned and said, "Uncle Wu is so seriously injured, I'm afraid he can't walk anymore. How about this, Magistrate Wang, please send Uncle Wu back to the Wang family. Since the audience cannot be delayed, I will escort Aunt Wu to the palace."
Of course, Magistrate Wang had no reason to refuse, so he agreed loudly, and immediately the yamen runners came to support Master Wang Wu.
The other servants and guards of the Wang family all gathered in front of the carriage automatically, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.
The military officer sneered upon seeing this and mounted his horse gloomily.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Yuerong quickly took the opportunity of Su Rong helping to tidy up the carriage and whispered: "Someone wants to kill Aunt Wu..."
Her eyes were clear, and although she was afraid, she was not panicked. She analyzed with Su Rong clearly: "These people have bad intentions."
Su Rong smiled at her appreciatively and lowered the carriage curtain in a soothing manner: "Take good care of Aunt Wu. Don't worry, I'm here."
Wang Yuerong's tense nerves relaxed at once, and the fear she had just felt suddenly turned into grievance for some unknown reason. She clenched her hands, calmed herself down, responded with an almost inaudible "yes", and lowered the curtain.
The weather was clear and the breeze was blowing gently. The fragrance of sweet osmanthus in the palace spread for ten miles and could be smelled from a long distance away. But now no one was in the mood to appreciate it, and there was silence outside the imperial study.
There were several sharp cries and shouts coming from the imperial study. The eyelids of the ministers who were waiting outside jumped. Then they heard the door of the imperial study creak open, and Eunuch Xia walked out in an orderly manner. Later, several eunuchs carried out two bloody corpses one after another.
Someone died!
Yang Bo raised his eyebrows, but finally lowered his head quietly.
Xu Shun lowered his head and suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up. When he raised his head again, his expression was back to normal.
In the imperial study, Emperor Yuanfeng waved his hand and knocked over the inkstone. The cinnabar in the inkstone immediately scattered all over the floor, landing on the floor tiles, bright red like blood. He stared at Marquis Guangping fiercely: "Uncle! At this point, why don't you tell me the truth!?"
Guangping Marquis Song Che knelt on the ground, steady and steady, with no sign of panic or fear on his face. Instead, he asked calmly, "What does Your Majesty want me to say?"
"What did you say?!" Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly became angry, pacing hurriedly behind the desk, and then walked out from behind the desk to Song Che, staring into his eyes: "What did you say?! Whose son is Song Heng?! What are you plotting?!"
Song Che was extremely surprised. He looked at Emperor Yuanfeng and asked in astonishment: "Your Majesty, what did you say? You know all about Ah Heng's background. He was born to Xiangyu's concubine..."
"Bullshit!" Emperor Yuanfeng cursed like a tiger, "Uncle, you lied to me! Why was Song Heng brought into the palace at the age of two? If he was born to a concubine, where is his concubine?! Who can confirm Song Che's background?! Moreover, how does uncle explain what happened in Prince Zhuang's palace?!"
Song Che suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty! What do you mean by this? I don't understand!"
"You really don't understand?" Emperor Yuanfeng smiled coldly, and suddenly reached out to knock over a basket on the desk. The puppets inside were scattered on the ground. He stared at Song Che closely, unwilling to miss any expression: "If you don't understand, why did you let Tie Cong introduce Lai Bin to Prince Zhuang's Mansion? Why did Qin's fetus become unstable after Lai Bin went there, and she had to ask Doctor Shen for help, but in the end she still couldn't save it?! And why did they find so many nasty things from Lai Bin's residence and the inner courtyard of Prince Zhuang's Mansion?! Does uncle really not understand, or has he been planning for a long time?!"
Even a calm and composed man like Song Che could not help but show signs of a crack in his normally stable emotions. He said loudly, "Your Majesty, please understand. I really don't understand what you mean. I don't know who Tie Cong is, or who Doctor Shen and Lai Bin are."
"You don't know?! Fine! Even if you don't know!" Emperor Yuanfeng laughed in anger: "What about Zhang Qingyuan!? You must know Zhang Qingyuan, right? Why did Zhang Qingyuan appear in your house? And he stayed there for seven or eight years! I heard that this abandoned disciple of Tianshi Mansion is proficient in all kinds of talisman drawing and spells, and Lai Bin also had contact with him. After these things were found in Lai Bin's residence, Lai Bin disappeared, and Doctor Shen also disappeared. Is all this really not related to him at all? Are these all fake?! Uncle, how long are you going to hide this from me?! What on earth are you doing?!"
Song Che's body was stiff. He looked at Emperor Yuanfeng in disbelief, and then he was shocked: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I really don't understand a word. Who is Zhang Qingyuan? We only know that he is a Taoist priest with great kung fu and good skills. He once saved Xiangyu and Ah Heng in the Northwest Army Camp, so Ah Heng worshipped him as a master... You said he is Zhang Qingyuan? Your Majesty! These old ministers don't know anything!"
Do you really hate it so much that you don’t know, or do you just pretend that you don’t know
Emperor Yuanfeng suppressed his inner rage and looked at him grimly and inquiringly.
