Seeing Bai Yuzhi crying, Wang Xun felt pain in his heart immediately. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the other person's hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't cry, no matter who it is coming for, I just blocked it. I don't believe it."
, if the evidence of his crimes of raising an assassin privately and stealing the Fubo Crossbow are made public, everyone in Chang'an City can still pretend to turn a blind eye!"
"Erlang, I, I..." Listening to Wang Xun's candid words, Bai Yuzhi felt increasingly miserable, sobbing and tears falling in strings. As a prostitute, trying to
After marrying a founding father, the huge status difference between the two parties had already made the marriage as fragile as thin ice. Now there is another charge of misbehavior and causing trouble for the man. He wants to make the whole Wang family accept him.
, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult to reach the sky.
Everyone turned their heads sideways, with awkward expressions on their faces. "It turned out to be a romantic case!" The Qin brothers grinned slightly, regretting not asking clearly, and rushed over with Bai Yuzhi. "I'm afraid this woman is a concubine.
, the green bead generation! Brother Wang had better turn back as soon as possible." Zhang Xunzhe, who was as mature and prudent as Zhang Xunzhe, also sighed secretly in his heart. Only Lei Wanchun frowned and said loudly: "Someone else robbed and killed you, why?
Is it your fault again? What bastard could do this? Tell me, if the government refuses to take care of it, I will stand up for you!" (Note 1)
"Brother Lei..." Bai Yuzhi raised her head and glanced at Lei Wanchun, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to start.
"Sister Bai, at least tell everyone who wants to rob you. Is it too late to cry again? If he can't rob you this time, it's inevitable that he will come again." Xiao Ma Fang is the least thoughtful and the most direct in his words. "
Maybe he hates the second brother too, so we should take some precautions in advance, right?"
"It's Wei Wei Shao Qing Wang Zhun!" Wang Xun gently shook Bai Yuzhi's hand and gave her the answer. "The assassin has already confessed. The three of them are going to scare Sister Bai half to death today, and then take advantage of her chaos.
Take them away. If you fail, kill them and silence them!"
Hearing the words "kill and silence", Bai Yuzhi's body suddenly shuddered. She raised her teary eyes and looked at Wang Xun, but there was no hint of disgust on the other person's face. On the contrary, there was a warm feeling between her palms.
The feeling kept coming, making her cold heart soften little by little.
"It turns out it's him, no wonder he dared to steal the Fubo Crossbow!" Qin Guozhen's words came to Bai Yunzhi's ears word for word, "That kid has always been lawless relying on his father's power. If the sneak attack fails this time, he may not be willing to do it.
It’s easy to give up. But......"
"He didn't just want to kidnap me!" Bai Yunzhi suddenly held back her tears and interrupted loudly. "He was afraid that I would reveal his secret, so, that's why..."
Looking at Wang Xun's face, she hoped to get his approval. Wang Xun smiled and nodded, whispering encouragement, "It's okay. Just tell us so that everyone can be prepared. After all, there is a lot of trouble involved here.
!”
"Well!" Bai Yunzhi nodded gently, her voice was gentler than ever before, "Three days ago, a guy who called himself Wang Zhun came to rent my place. Seeing that he was willing to pay, Hong Gu agreed. Who?
I expected that after he entered the room, he refused to listen to the song. Instead, he said some crazy words and wanted me to marry into the Taiyuan palace and be his concubine. I refused to agree, so he took out a large ingot of gold and asked me
Do you remember what the previous guests said to me? I told him that there were many people who came to Jinhua Tower to listen to my singing, and it was impossible for me to take what anyone said seriously. I asked him not to insult me. Then
, he said a few cruel words, slammed the door and left. I thought he was just a spoiled young man, so I didn’t take it to heart. Who would have thought that what happened today happened right after!"
"Then what does he want to know?"
"Do you still remember which guests he asked about?" Yan Jiming and Zhang Xun asked two very similar questions one after the other.
Bai Yuzhi bit her lips lightly, not knowing how to answer. Looking up at Wang Xun's angular face, she nodded and whispered: "He asked Zhou Bojun, Zhang Shuang and Gongsun Liang, who are they?"
Didn't we once have a drink and listen to music at my place, and we didn't gossip about the Taiyuan Palace during the dinner. In addition, three other people were involved in the same case as Zida a few months ago. Bizi
Da was released from prison a few days late. Indeed, he once came to Jinhua Tower to listen to music to calm his nerves. But it was just that one time! He has never been here since!"
"It is indeed impossible for them to come to Jinhua Tower again. Mr. Zhang fell into the Qujiang Pond and drowned two months ago!" Yuwen Zida frowned and added in a deep voice. "Mr. Zhou went out hunting last month and was killed by a wild boar.
He was knocked off his horse and his neck was broken. Only Gongsun Liang, just a few days after he was released from prison, was sent to Yuyang by a letter from his grandfather and took refuge with An Lushan. So he barely managed to save his life!"
"Ah?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices. If Yu Wenzhi hadn't reminded him, no one would have been able to connect the two common accidents in the capital with Bai Yuzhi's assassination today.
"What Wang Zhun wants to hide is probably not an ordinary secret!" Zhang Xun, the oldest among the crowd, changed his expression, frowned, and whispered, "Bai Xingshou, what did they say that day? You
Do you really not remember anything at all?"
"I, how could I remember!" Bai Yuzhi shook her head and choked. She was still worried that Wang Zhun's evil intentions would affect Wang Xun's view of her. Now, she found that she might have implicated Wang Xun.
He risked his life and future, and when he got anxious, he burst into tears again and again.
"Okay, okay, the sky can still fall!" Unable to bear to see her cry sadly, Wang Xun smiled and comforted in a low voice. "The assassin was imprisoned in the White Horse Fort military camp. His stolen Fubo crossbow was also stolen.
General Zhou put it away. If he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, I will send the evidence to the top to see who ends up with a good end!"
Hearing his decisive words, Bai Yunzhi slowly regained some courage in her heart. After thinking about it, she whispered: "But Erlang, the future you just found..."
"It doesn't matter, the hands of the Wang family can't reach out to the Imperial Guards yet." Wang Xun smiled slightly, his face full of indifference. The two assassins were killed by himself. No matter how bad things are, what else can happen? Could it still be possible?
Because Wang Zhun and his son are so powerful, why can't they push Bai Yuzhi out? In that case, who will they become, and how will they gain a foothold in this world in the future?
"If the Wang family bullies others too much, we will fight with him together!" Ma Fang also waved his scimitar and expressed his position loudly. "After all, the capital is under the emperor's feet. Can the Wang family still bribe all the officials?"
Qin Guoyong looked at his younger brother, and then said with a smile, "That's not necessarily the case. As far as I know, Wang Zhen himself has not been having a hard time recently. It is very likely that Wang Zhun did this without telling his grandfather.
.That guy never knew how high the sky and the earth were.”
"Yes, because of what happened last time, Li Xiang was very dissatisfied with Wang Jingzhao!" Qin Guozhen nodded and explained his brother's words.
This was a secret that no one else had access to. For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Qin Guozhen. Under the urging gazes of everyone, Qin Guozhen could only add in a low voice, "Last time, Yang Guozhong used an excuse to force Wang Zhi to retreat first.
Later, because he was afraid of Gao Lishi's intervention, Li Linfu had to shake hands with Yang Guozhong and make peace. But in his heart, Li Linfu hated Wang He for betraying him. Now, sandwiched between the two major forces of Yang and Li, Wang He had already used all his strength.
It’s hard to hold on. Who would have expected that his son Wang Zhun, still awake at this moment, would continue to cause trouble for the Wang family. If..."
If today's incident is exploited by someone with ulterior motives, the Wang family may be in danger. Qin Guozhen didn't finish his words, but everyone present heard it clearly. "So Bai Xingshou and Mingyun don't have to worry about Wang Zhun using them."
Grandpa's forces are dealing with you in the open." Qin Guoyong took over his younger brother's words and added with a smile, "If it's the underworld, as long as we are more careful, we may not be afraid of him!"
"Ming Yun is in the military camp, so there is no need to worry about his own safety. Over at Bai Xingshou, I'll see if I can find some old friends to take care of him secretly!" Lei Wanchun thought for a while and took the initiative to share his friends' worries.
"Instead of passively accepting the challenge, it is better to take the initiative to force him to stop!" Yan Jiming shook his head and objected with a smile, "Didn't Brother Wang have a dead assassin in his hands? Make a copy of his confession and send it to the Taiyuan Palace.
Send it away, I believe that the father and son will not dare to do it again!"
This method was exactly the same as the one Zhang Xun used to force Yang Guozhong last time, causing everyone to immediately turn their heads to him. Yan Jiming was a little embarrassed by everyone, and he cupped his hands and announced his home with a smile, "Langya Yan Jiming, see you
Better than all your brothers!"
At this time, Wang Xun realized that he had never introduced the friends he had just made to everyone. He quickly let go of Bai Yuzhi's hand, smiled and clasped his fists at everyone, "Brothers, I was negligent. This brother Yan, this morning
He once helped me a lot. If it weren’t for him, I might have sent myself to prison in Chang’an County!”
"Brother Wang is serious. I just happened to meet him at that time, so I couldn't just sit back and watch!" Yan Jiming blushed at his praise and smiled modestly.
"Are the Yan family of Langya the same clan as Prefect Yan of Pingyuan?" Qin Guoyong had studied the genealogy of each family the most. After hearing the other party claiming to be from Langya, he thought for a while and asked with a smile.
"It's Yan's second uncle!" Yan Jiming nodded and responded with a smile.
"It turns out he is the son of the governor Yan of Haozhou!" Zhang Xun immediately woke up and stepped forward to greet him with a smile. "Brother Zhang Xun, I have known your father several times!"
"My nephew just guessed that it was Uncle Zhang, but he never dared to recognize him rashly!" Yan Jiming quickly jumped off his mount and greeted him as a junior.
Zhang Xun also jumped off the horse and pulled him up with a smile, "We'd better settle it alone. Otherwise, all the brothers here will be a generation older than you."
Yan Jiming also laughed, and followed Zhang Xun's words, calling him brother. Zhang Xun laughed and pulled him, and met the Qin brothers, Ma Fang, Yu Wenzhi and others again. All in all, everyone's elders were holding him
We all have some friendships, and it is not an exaggeration to call them family friends.
After some pleasantries, Wang Xun and Bai Yuzhi were left aside. While everyone's attention was not on him, Wang Xun thought about it and whispered to Bai Yuzhi: "Don't be afraid, I'm here.
, others can't do anything to you. I turned around and discussed with Aunt Yun, so I can carry you into the house in a sedan chair. I don't believe that they dare to come to Chongrenfang to rob someone in broad daylight!"
If these words had been said in the past, Bai Yunzhi would have definitely asked her what her status was when she entered the Wang family. But now, she could only feel deep concern from Wang Xun's words. She nodded and whispered, "Yeah
"I made a sound, and in an instant, the red color spread from my cheeks to my neck.
Seeing Bai Yongzhi with two red eyeballs, but very shy, Wang Xun felt very interesting. For the time being, he put aside the matter of how to deal with Wang Zhi and his son, and concentrated on thinking about the other party: "Aunt Yun is actually a very good person.
As long as you don’t deliberately offend her, that girl Zi Luo is a bit petty, but she won’t target you everywhere. When I go back, I will set a rule for the servants so that they are not allowed to slight you. In this way, even if I am not at home
At that time..."
Halfway through his words, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horse hooves. Everyone turned their heads and saw dozens of evil servants in black, led by a consumption ghost in rich robes and splendid clothes, menacingly
They gathered around.
"Be careful!" Lei Wanchun shouted and took the lead in drawing out his weapon. Nan Jiyun unsheathed his long sword and rode his horse to shoulder with him. A dozen or so Qin family generals were well-trained and quickly formed two rows, using thunder
, the two in the south are the forwards, forming a wild goose formation, firmly protecting the others in the center of the team.
It was already around 4:00 in the morning, and there were a lot of people walking on the official road. Seeing the two groups at war, they were so frightened that they fled into the wilderness and took a long detour. In a moment, the wide official road was cleared.
The consumptive ghost who led the team gave an order, and all the evil servants quickly formed a team. They formed a phalanx in a chaotic manner. Although there were many people, the momentum was more than one point worse than this one.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the two sides were about to fight together, Qin Guoyong separated the people, rode his horse to the front of the team, and gently raised his hands to the consumptive ghost, "In broad daylight, I don't know that Wang Shaoqing is blocking our way, so
What's the matter?"
"Haha, I guess whose servant is actually better trained than the royal guards? It turns out to be the men from Duke Hu's mansion! Mr. Qin, I dare you to take away my family by force with Duke Hu's remaining power?
Running away from concubine?"
"Your family has an escaped concubine?" Qin Guoyong couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw the other party's seriousness. Soon, he realized that the other party was complaining before a bad person. He sneered a few times, shook his head and scolded, "I only see people relying on the power of their fathers.
, trying to rob a common girl. But I didn’t see where your runaway concubine is? Could it be that for Wang Shaoqing, as long as he sees a slightly pretty woman, he has to become your runaway concubine? "
"Stop talking nonsense, hand over that woman, we won't argue with you!" Standing behind the tuberculosis ghost, a strong man from the Western Regions who was over ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist yelled sternly.
"Yes, stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" A group of domestic slaves pretended to be powerful and waved their weapons at Qin Guoyong.
Qin Guoyong was very well-behaved and ignored the evil slaves. He only stared at the tuberculosis ghost in the lead. The tuberculosis ghost seemed to have not heard what his subordinates were saying. He clasped his hands in front of his chest with a look of contempt on his face.
At this moment, there was no need for anyone to introduce him. Just from Bai Yuzhi's frightened face, Wang Xun guessed who the visitor was. He also separated from the crowd and came to Qin Guoyong's side, standing side by side with him. Without speaking, his eyes were like
Like a knife, he looked towards the evil servants who were noisy.
More than four months of training in the military camp had made him as tall as a mountain. Coupled with the bloodstains all over his body that had not had time to be washed away, the evil slaves on the opposite side were immediately forced to breathe hard. Where did Wang Xun look?
The clamor of the crowd subsided. Before the sweep was completed, the team in front of them was already silent.
"Do you want to stand up for that bitch?" The Ghost King of Tuberculosis was not willing to lose his momentum. He led his mount forward and raised his riding whip to point at Wang Xun, "It's just you, you can't weigh yourself, your family
Your Majesty......"
"Your prince has no time to chat with you today!" Wang Xun grabbed the riding crop with his hand, and with a flick of his hand, he broke it into three pieces. He threw it to the ground and said viciously: "Those three you sent out?
I killed two assassins, and the remaining one was sent directly to the military camp. If you want to file a lawsuit, we will go directly to Dali Temple. Your prince will accompany them to the end. If you want to avenge them, just let them go.
Come here!"
"You, you..." The Ghost King of Tuberculosis originally planned to take advantage of the strength of the crowd to snatch Baiyangzhi away first, and then slowly find a way to cover up the basket that the assassin accidentally poked this morning. But he didn't expect it.
The other party was so tough, and in front of so many people, he dared to admit that the assassin was killed by him. And he gave himself a powerful blow as soon as he came up.
This was completely beyond his calculation. In the past, he, Wang Zhun, used his power to bully others, even Li Xiu, the son of the then Prime Minister Li Linfu, stayed away. Who would have expected that this little seventh-grade military attaché in front of him would be more courageous than Li Xiu! For a
The singer actually wanted to take over the Wang family in Taiyuan.
However, after stammering and shouting for a long time, he did not say anything more threatening. If this matter was brought to Dali Temple, I am afraid that his misappropriation of weapons would be exposed immediately. But he just returned with nothing, and then
This is equivalent to leaving another fatal hidden danger.
It seems that neither one of the two evils is the lightest one. Shouting and hesitating, Wang Zhun felt himself getting more and more discouraged. "Get him!" Finally, he thought of an idea to turn the situation around, and while quickly
Turning the horse's head, he loudly called on the evil slaves behind him to take action, "Brothers of the Qin family, this is a personal grudge between me and him. You two should take care of it!"
Note 1: Xi Gui, Xihou’s wife in the Spring and Autumn Period, brought disaster to Xihou’s country because of her beauty. Lvzhu, Shi Chong’s concubine in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, was coveted for her beauty, which led to Shi Chong’s death.
