Chapter 257 Big heart (one more)
Xie Lin's guards, together with Zhou Gu's guards, left some to protect Xie Lin, and some quickly followed the arrow in the direction it came from.
Xie Lin rode his horse and stayed where he was, and ordered, "Bring these two sharp arrows and show me."
Someone went to pick up sharp arrows.
One of Zhou Gu's guards immediately stopped the man, "Be careful of the poison on the arrow."
The man's hand was about to touch it, but he immediately withdrew his hand when he heard the words. Looking carefully, he saw that the tip of the arrow was pitch black, as if something had been smeared on it, and it must have been poisoned. He thought "It's dangerous", tore off half of his sleeve, wrapped the arrow around, and picked it up, but he didn't dare to hand it to Xie Lin, but held it up for Xie Lin to see.
Xie Lin's expression turned ugly, "Take it back to the doctor's office for examination."
The two sharp arrows are the same, they came from one place, and something was smeared on the tip of the sword. The guard received Xie Lin's order and carefully put away the arrow.
Xie Lin asked a guard, "Are you sent by Zhou Gu to protect me?"
The guard nodded, "Our fourth son has suffered a loss once, knowing that you brought few guards when you came to Duke Huguo's mansion, and fearing that you may be in danger on the way back to the mansion, we specially ordered us to chase you to protect you and **** you back to Rui'an Palace safely."
Xie Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "My life is really thanks to him today."
The guards sent out came back soon, brought back two corpses, and told Xie Lin that the two were dead men, and they didn't even want to run away after firing the cold arrow, but directly swallowed poison and committed suicide.
Xie Lin is so angry, he really thinks highly of him, as soon as he makes a move, there are two dead soldiers, if there is no guard sent by Zhou Gu today, he might not really give his life here.
He said angrily: "Take these two corpses and follow me back to the mansion, and send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime."
Someone should be.
Xie Lin didn't stay on the street for a long time, and took the witnesses and physical evidence, and was guarded by others, and returned to Rui'an Palace.
The gatekeeper of Rui'an Palace was taken aback, "Little prince, this is..."
Xie Lin waved his hand to him and asked, "Is my father back home?"
"My lord just came back from the palace." The gatekeeper replied.
Xie Lin immediately rushed into the mansion and went directly to King Rui'an.
Zhou Gu's guard saw that Xie Linping had entered the Rui'an Palace, and returned back to the Duke Protector's Mansion with peace of mind.
King Ruian also stayed up all night. He came back from the palace and planned to take a nap. Just as he closed his eyes, Xie Lin rushed in.
Ruian Wang just wanted to reprimand him for being unruly, but Xie Lin's eyes turned red, "Father, my son almost lost sight of you just now!"
King Ryan sat up while lying down, looked him up and down for a moment, and then asked with a sullen face: "What's going on? What are you talking about? What do you mean you almost can't see me?"
Xie Lin immediately told King Rui'an about his passing with red eyes.
After hearing this, King Ruian's face sank instantly, "How did you encounter assassination?"
Xie Lin pursed the corners of his lips, and whispered that he went to the Huguogong Mansion to visit Zhou Gu, interrogated Wang Su by the way, and said that the eldest prince and concubine had been interrogated.
After listening to King Ruian, he also said "It's dangerous" in his heart. Although he has no shortage of sons, he only has one son.
Xie Linbian’s mouth was pursed, his eyes were red, "Father, did you encounter cold arrows when you were walking on the streets of the capital in broad daylight?" He emphasized heavily, "Two cold arrows that have been poisoned! My son is stunned."
Ruian Wang Xin said that there is really no such thing. When did this capital become so dangerous? The hand he patted on Xie Lin's shoulder paused for a while, and then he patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, my father will make the decision for you."
Xie Lin nodded.
Ruian Wang said: "Show me the testimony of Monk Wangsu."
Xie Lin handed it to him, and said at the same time: "Father, this testimony cannot be presented to His Majesty. The confession presented to His Majesty must cover up the person in the palace. I have already said this testimony. It is a threat to forget the custom and not to commit suicide. It must be a witness."
King Ryan nodded, "I know."
Xie Lin was taught by King Rui'an himself, he knows better than anyone how troublesome it is to involve that person in the palace.
After reading the testimony, he glared at Xie Lin, "Why didn't you say anything about such a big matter?"
Xie Linbian said, "So what if the father knows? Will you go and tell His Majesty? First, you will not participate in the prince's seizure of the throne, and second, you must keep a low profile and not cause trouble. You know that it is just one more person to put this matter in your heart, which is useless. My son has a big heart, so he can pretend he didn't see it at the beginning."
King Ruian was choked, and after a while, he uttered a sentence, "You really have a big heart."
Should he praise him?
He handed the testimony back to Xie Lin, but didn't keep it by himself, "You have grown up too, and it's good to have your own opinions, so keep it yourself!"
Xie Lin nodded, and put away Wangsu's testimony again.
Ruian said kingly: "When you go out to handle the case, bring a hidden guard with you."
Xie Lin nodded heavily.
Ruian Wang looked at him, annoyed, "You couldn't bear the hardship when I asked you to practice martial arts, how is it now? Do you know the benefits of practicing martial arts?"
Xie Lin muttered softly, "I regretted it a long time ago. If I had practiced martial arts well, I wouldn't have been unable to fight Zhou Gu back then."
King Rui'an snorted, thinking that it would be good if you hadn't fought before. If you had, wouldn't you be going home and arguing to marry the criminal minister's daughter, Qin Luan? Can he agree? Of course not, if that's the case, Zhou Gu didn't break his leg, he had to break his leg!
King Ruian waved his hand at him, "This case is too involved, let me rest for a while, I have to think about how to investigate, and you go back to suppress the shock, search the two dead men, and throw them to Jing Zhaoyin. The king investigates the case, and they all cooperate."
Xie Lin also knew in his heart that involving the eldest prince and concubine, now that he has returned to the mansion, it is not a matter that can be resolved in a hurry. As long as he and his father do not move, the eldest prince and concubine may think that Wangsu did not confess her. The more this time, the less anxious.
He quit King Ryan's house and returned to his yard.
Zhou Gu's guards returned to Duke Huguo's mansion and reported to Zhou Gu that Xie Lin was assassinated by a cold arrow in the street, saying that Xie Lin had been sent back to Rui'an Palace safely.
Zhou Gu sat up straight, guessing that the person Xie Lin pried out from Wang Su's mouth seemed to have a lot of background, otherwise he would never have the ability to use dead soldiers to assassinate Xie Lin in the street.
He asked the guard: "Do you see that the poisoned arrow came out of the same place as the arrow that Princess Qingping was assassinated?"
The guard shook his head, "This subordinate has never seen the arrow that used to assassinate Princess Qingping."
Zhou Gu ordered, "Go and check. There are paintings in Jingzhao Mansion."
The guard should be, go immediately.
