After several days of observation, they knew that Hong Zhou would return home via this road every night, and he would not have any guards with him, so it was the most appropriate time to take action.
Hong Zhou didn't have any weapons in hand, so it was obviously impossible to stop these five people with just one arrow, so he looked for opportunities to escape while fighting. Unfortunately, these people were very guarded and wouldn't allow him to escape at all.
Opportunity, on the contrary, there were several wounds on his body. Warm blood continued to seep out from the wounds, making Hong Zhou's movements gradually slower. In contrast, there were several more wounds on his body.
When the secret guard's knife left a deep and invisible scar on Hong Zhou's back, Hong Zhou finally could no longer stand and fell to the ground. However, he still held the blood-stained arrow tightly in his hand, even though he could no longer hurt him.
Even though he is dead, he refuses to let go.
At this time, a flickering fire and noisy footsteps appeared not far away. The five secret guards knew that Shuntian Mansion must have received the news and rushed here, and they had to leave quickly.
One of the secret guards raised the knife in his hand, intending to kill Hong Zhou, who was still alive. However, just as the knife was about to fall, a strong force hit him and knocked his knife away. Before he could take a closer look, his footsteps
The sound was already approaching, which meant that they had no chance to kill Hong Zhou anymore. However, Hong Zhou was so seriously injured that he might not be able to survive even if he didn't take another blow. Therefore, after some weighing, the secret guards decided to kill Hong Zhou.
He chose to leave instead of confronting the officers of Shuntian Mansion.
After receiving the report of something happening here, the person who brought people over was Zhang Peng, the headman of Shuntian Prefecture. He was the one who saw the flash of the blade just now and made a quick decision, throwing the scabbard in his hand, causing the secret guard to miss.
"Chase, chase me quickly, don't let those people run away." After directing some of the officers to chase in the direction where the secret guards escaped, Zhang Peng helped Hong Zhou, who was twitching on the ground. Although he was only a small
The arrester had the honor to meet Hong Zhou. He immediately recognized Hong Zhou. His whole body tensed up and he said in a trembling voice: "Quick! Carry it back to the Yamen quickly. Be careful not to aggravate the injury. In addition, go to the capital immediately."
Find the best doctor for me."
The officer looked over and took a look and said: "Captain, it's so late, where can we find a doctor? It looks like this man is about to die. I'm afraid it's useless to call a doctor."
Zhang Peng glared at him fiercely and said, "You know who this is, this is Lord Baylor, the fifth Baylor in the dynasty. Are you seeking death by saying this?"
Hearing this, the officer quickly shrank his neck and didn't dare to say a word. The next moment, Zhang Peng's roar came to his ears, "If you don't hurry up and call the doctor, you have to drag it to me even if it means dragging him."
"
The officer did not dare to neglect and hurried to ask for the doctor. Hongshi was also carefully brought back to Shuntian Mansion. After Zhang Peng informed the Shuntian Governor about the matter, the Governor immediately rushed over and stayed by Hong Zhou's bedside.
Dare not leave.
Soon after, the doctor was dragged to Shuntian Mansion. Faced with Hong Zhou's injuries, he frowned greatly. Such many wounds caused too much blood loss in his body. If the bleeding could not be stopped in time, he would breathe weakly.
The interest rate will stop at any time.
The other wounds were fine, but the wound on Hong Zhou's back was too deep to stop the bleeding quickly. Even after applying a thick layer of medicine, blood still continued to seep out.
The doctor frowned at this, cupped his hands towards Shuntian Fuyin and said: "Sir, this person is injured so seriously, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shuntian Prefecture Yin had already covered his mouth and said: "Doctor, no matter what method you use, I must save Lord Beile's life. If he has any shortcomings, you and I will both
I'm going to die, do you understand?"
The doctor was at a loss and said: "But... the wound is so deep, I really can't stop the bleeding!"
"Don't tell me this. I'm not interested in hearing it. No matter what you do, you must stop the bleeding and survive tonight. When it gets light tomorrow, I will report to the emperor and ask the imperial doctor to come for treatment.
, then it will be none of your business, understand?"
The doctor wiped his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, I will try my best." After realizing that he had no way out, he applied the entire bottle of medicine to Hong Zhou's wound, then wrapped it tightly with gauze and wrapped it as much as possible.
Tighten the wound and delay the outflow of blood. As long as the blood can coagulate, Hong Zhou's life can be saved.
In addition, he ordered people to quickly boil the medicine, forcefully drink it, and prick the acupoints with silver needles. Finally, Hong Zhou's bleeding gradually stopped, but the situation was still not optimistic, and his breath was weak several times.
It looks like it's about to break.
This night was as long as a year for Shuntian Fuyin and the doctor. Shuntian Fuyin went to wait outside the palace gate earlier, and as soon as it started, he asked someone to go to Yangxin Hall to spread the news about Wu Beile.
The most important thing is to meet with the Holy Spirit.
Yinzhen was washing up under the service of Sixi. When he heard that he was related to Hong Zhou, he immediately ordered the Shuntian Prefecture Yin to go to the Yangxin Hall to see him. When the Shuntian Prefecture Yin told him that Hong Zhou was dying, Yinzhen almost fainted and managed to calm down.
Afterwards, Xiao Wu was ordered to quickly send the imperial physician to Shuntian Mansion, and also went outside the palace to invite the imperial physician Xu to be sure to save Hong Zhou's life.
After Xiao Wu retreated, Yinzhen sat down, stroking his forehead, and asked Shuntian Prefecture Yin, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Do you know who assassinated Brother Wu?"
The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture said with a face full of shame: "When I got back to the emperor, I heard from Zhang Peng, the head catcher who went there at that time, that they were a group of men in black, but it was a pity that they could not be caught."
"Seal the city gate and investigate, we must catch them!" Yinzhen said through gritted teeth. Previously, Anjiu had sneaked into the palace, and now there was a man in black assassinating Hongzhou. He suspected that there was a connection between the two, and soon
It may have been Hongshi's instigation, but Hongshi had already intended to provoke a war between the two countries. Why did he kill Hongzhou? Was it to vent his anger?
In any case, until the assassins are caught, these are just speculations and cannot be proven.
Yinzhen endured the worries in his heart after attending the morning court, and then took Sixi directly to Shuntian Mansion without telling anyone. Fortunately, after a period of recuperation in the Old Summer Palace, his health was much better, otherwise he would not have been able to leave the Forbidden City.
When Yinzhen arrived there, Rong Yuan was administering acupuncture to Hong Zhou, and several imperial doctors gathered together to consider the prescription. With Hong Zhou's extremely weak body, medicine that is too strong must not be used, and must be alleviated.
It is really difficult to kill them while maintaining a certain efficacy despite the strong potency of the medicine.
After Yinzhen entered, without waiting for them to salute, he asked eagerly: "How is the situation? Is it safe?"
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Xu is still administering acupuncture to Lord Beile, but... Lord Beile's condition is not optimistic." When they arrived here today, Hong Zhou's face was pale and bloodless, and he was breathing heavily.
Seemingly, they didn't dare to take action at all at that time. It wasn't until Rong Yuan came over that he administered the injection. The others discussed the prescription and tried to use the mildest medicine to treat Hong Zhou.
