Chapter 89 The Emperor’s Northern Tour
Bell slept soundly, even Xiaobai couldn't wake it up by pinching its cheek, but bared its teeth impatiently.
Xiaobai let go of his hand in a slump, and said to the demure Zhang Shuhui: "Young madam, why hasn't the young master come back?"
Zhang Shuhui put down the account book, and teased: "Then why don't you cook a bowl of soup and send it?"
Xiaobai's face flushed red, and he said coyly, "I'm not going! That's not something a serious woman would do."
Fang Xing basically had no control over the two women in the family, so he entered the house openly.
And in those story books, the women who seduce the master all do this.
A bowl of soup, a look in the eyes, and a little pull down the tube top, how many men can stop it!
After all, Xiao Bai couldn't do this kind of thing, but he couldn't help it, so he found an excuse and ran to the study.
The study room was very unrefined, there was a pile of beef jerky, chicken feet and other things on the desk, and Fang Xing was holding a wine bottle, drinking slowly.
Xiao Bai secretly hid under the window sill, and when he saw the figure in the window, he felt relieved. When he was about to go back, he heard the voice inside say, "It's Xiaobai, what a sneaky look! Come in."
Xiaobai felt very embarrassed to be discovered so easily. She dawdled into the study, and when she looked up, she saw bloodshot eyes in Fang Xing's eyes, and she couldn't help persuading: "Young master, it's the same if you do something tomorrow, don't tire yourself out."
As soon as these words were uttered, Xiao Bai felt that they were the same as the description in the latest script.
Fang Xing's hands stopped shaking, he couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw Xiao Bai bowed his head shyly, and handed over the wine bottle.
"Take a sip and I'm sure you'll get a good night's sleep tonight."
Fang Xing can sleep soundly, even if he had a nightmare.
But Ji Gang couldn't sleep at all tonight.
Standing on the edge of the Qinhuai River, Ji Gang looked at the corpse that had been carried onto the mat, and asked, "Can the cause of death be ascertained? What kind of weapon is it?"
There are quite a few masters in Jinyiwei who surveyed the scene, and the next one to test Baihu clasped his fists and said, "My lord, judging from the scene and Mr. Yuan's wound, the weapon should be something similar to a sledgehammer."
"oh!"
Ji Gang paced over and asked as he walked, "But if it were a sledgehammer, Yuan Jiang would never have given the enemy a chance to sneak attack at close range."
"You say so?"
Two of Yuan Jiang's attendants were kneeling on the ground tremblingly. Hearing the words, they immediately raised their heads and shouted: "My lord, we were right in front of Master Yuan at that time, but we didn't find anything unusual!"
Ji Gang looked at the corpse coldly: "Really? Didn't even hear the wind?"
"No! I swear, absolutely not. It was only a blink of an eye at that time, and when I looked back, I found that Master Yuan had already..."
Ji Gang was very scheming, so he asked the tester: "You mean, it can't be a long-distance kill?"
Baihu said confidently: "Three generations of my family are veterans of the Ministry of Punishment. Mr. Yuan's wound looks like a severe impact. If this effect is to be achieved, the only way to achieve this effect is to use a sledgehammer or an iron rod at close range. The distance is absolutely impossible! Unless it is the bed crossbow of the former Song Dynasty."
After Shi Baihu finished speaking, the scene became quiet, only the slight crashing sound of the boat colliding with the shore.
Ji Gang looked at the corpse, turned around and said, "Check, arrest everyone who was around Yuan Jiang at that time, and check it out!"
Everyone agreed with a loud bang, and then grabbed the two attendants. As for Miss Mei Xiang, she was no longer in sight.
"My lord, could it be that Mei Xiang colluded with others, and then..."
Zhuang Jing appeared in front of Ji Gang with a swollen face, which disgusted Ji Gang a little.
"idiot!"
Ji Gang almost couldn't control his temper. He recited the meditation mantra silently, and then said: "There is someone behind Mei Xiang, and that person will not be stupid enough to attack Yuan Jiang."
After sighing,
Ji Gang whispered a name to Zhuang Jing, and then explained: "You go to his house, and then ask Mei Xiang, who was around Yuan Jiang at that time."
It was late at night, and Ji Gang stood where he was, with the mist soaking his clothes.
All the people were busy, after a long time, Ji Gang stamped his feet resentfully, got on his horse and left.
It was also late at night, Zhang Shuhui waited in the bedroom for a long time, and then took the maid to the study.
As soon as the door of the study was pushed open, Zhang Shuhui couldn't help covering her nose due to the strong smell of alcohol. When she took a closer look, she showed a dumbfounding expression again.
On the two opposite sides of the desk, Fang Xing and Xiao Bai were sleeping soundly at their desks, the tables were messed up.
...
Today, the holy driver is leaving, and all the security units in the capital are not allowed to be idle, including Jinyiwei.
Fang Xing is at the restaurant on the only way, which is the property of Liu Pu's family.
Liu Pu looked at the flow of people below, and sighed: "I heard that your Majesty's trip is mainly for the burial of Empress Renxiao, and I will stop by to see how the Forbidden City in Beiping is doing."
Ma Su was lying by the window and looking at the guard of honor in front of him. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Your Majesty has not appointed the lord of the harem so far, which shows the deep affection."
Fang Xing was silent. He felt that the emperor was a very good creature. He could maintain his affection for his original spouse even when he was the groom every night.
No wonder the emperor has the potential for schizophrenia!
However, Empress Xu is indeed a good wife and mother. Not only can she assist Zhu Di to rise to power, but she is also keenly aware of the hostility of the two young sons towards the prince. So before he was alive, he persuaded Zhu Di to strictly discipline King Han and King Zhao.
After the brigade had left, a guard beside Zhu Zhanji walked in and handed Fang Xing a letter.
Fang Xing opened it casually, looked at it, nodded and said, "I see."
Liu Pu's heart was itchy, he knew it was a letter from Zhu Zhanji to Fang Xing, but he didn't dare to ask.
Fang Xing slapped Ma Su across the face, and everyone dispersed.
When the carriage reached the end of the street, Fang Xing took Ma Su to a restaurant.
Today, there are more big men in this restaurant. These big men are all looking at the people in the store and the door, and they have a strong aura.
When Fang Xing reached the stairs, a big man stretched out his hand to stop him, but the companion behind him said something in a low voice, so he stared at Fang Xing and Ma Su with eagle-like eyes, and then let him go.
The second floor was empty, and the shopkeeper was just above the stairs. When he saw Fang Xing coming up, he immediately bent down, pointed to the third room on the right, and signaled Fang Xing to go in by himself.
At the door of the third room stood two tall men, both of whom were holding knives.
Ma Su was a little worried, and followed Fang Xing over. Unexpectedly, when Fang Xing walked to the door, a man took the initiative to open the door, and then stretched out his hand to let them in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw two men, one fat and white sitting opposite, and the other was also fat and white, but standing.
Fang Xing rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, then made a gesture to kneel down.
"Please, Mr. Fang."
Fang Xing's knees were about to bend, and he took the opportunity to stand up straight, and then, regardless of the surprise of the standing man, he cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, how is it?"
Ma Su's legs almost went limp when he heard the words, and at the same time, he had a new understanding of Fang Xing's boldness.
When he saw the prince, he didn't kneel down, he just arched his hands.
You despise the powerful and no one will say you, but you can't afford the crime of contemptuous of the royal family!
