Chapter 490 Collusion with Assassins
After making such a fuss, she didn't dare to let Xinbao continue to clean the garden, so she quickly got on the carriage and returned to the palace.
Emperor Ming Pei was very worried after hearing the report, but Tuanzi didn't see anything, and he wasn't frightened at all. He was only worried that he didn't make a mark.
Inside and outside the Wuzhi Garden, a large number of Longxiang Guards arrived and searched everywhere.
Especially the second wife, mother and son who came uninvited today, everyone checked everything.
The second lady's intestines are ruined. She originally just wanted to please her, occupying the light of the big house, and let her family stand out. She never expected that her son would be interrogated as a prisoner despite being so frightened.
The old concubine and Mrs. Wang are still staying safely, and Long Xiangwei treats them politely, but they are not allowed to leave for the time being.
After a while, the king of Wenxin County, the prince, and Wang Ronggui rushed back. When they met, Wang Ronggui was very anxious.
Although this incident has nothing to do with them, it is the same as last time, and it happens to happen in their house. Even if they are not injured, it is a big mistake.
In the afternoon, even the people from Dali Temple arrived. Sun Changming, Minister of Dali Temple, and Wei Xuanxiao, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, led their men to search around.
Looking at this posture, Wang Ronggui's eyes turned black. The emperor didn't think they were in collusion with that assassin, did he?
The conscience of heaven and earth, he is stupid to collude with this kind of rebel!
At night, Gao Fu came to preach.
Gao Fu said: "Master Wang, His Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo said, Sir Wang, I'm sorry, Xinbao didn't know that there would be bad people coming, and sent two pots of flowers to the good-looking old concubine, don't be angry if she dirty her garden. Gold pearls are Xinbao's favorite, let's make pearl flowers for your wife."
He beckoned to send two pots of flowers, and a pair of golden pearls in a box.
Wang Ronggui took the box with both hands, with mixed feelings and tears in his eyelashes! What a cutie in the world! He was really moved.
He thanked Gao Fu repeatedly, stuffed Gao Fu with a purse, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Gao, Your Majesty..."
Being a **** is not easy to accept any money, at this time the money is not free, and he does not mind giving this favor, so he said: "When your highness gives orders to our family, the emperor is sitting next to him! "
Wang Ronggui was relieved, and thanked him with a smile on his face.
So in this way, it is a matter of delaying some time, and nothing will happen.
The shadow guard over there is examining the woman in red.
The woman's entire arm had been cut off, but she was as brave as the two before, and she didn't know the pain at all. She kept saying, "Catch me if you want, and kill me if you have the ability!"
so? She originally wanted to steal Xinbao?
Fortunately, there are already incense and amulets, so the shadow guard secretly lit the incense while conducting the trial as usual.
After about an hour like this, the woman's whole behavior was wrong. She seemed to have just realized that her arm was broken. She had a painful expression, and when she was whipped, she also had a fearful expression. of.
But before the woman's trial was over, Dali Temple reported it first.
It was also a coincidence that they had a case in hand that involved this woman in red.
There was a shopkeeper surnamed Liu who had a quarrel with her during the Spring Dragon Festival and was killed, and his family reported it to the police.
Wei Xuanxiao took people around to investigate, and soon found the woman's whereabouts.
It is said that this person is called Zhou Hongting. Many people can attest that she is a loner, and she is very skilled. She draws her sword when she disagrees with her. She feels quite lawless. Shopkeeper Liu died with a sword piercing his heart. This is a typical Jiang Hu person. method, and someone has seen her nearby.
Zhou Hongting often inquires about the whereabouts of Princess Zhen Guo, and the weirdest thing is that she always calls her a "slut"! "shameless!"
You know, Xinbao is not yet five years old, a little doll, it is really weird to scold him like this.
Emperor Ming Pei was also in Chengqian Palace, so Wei Xuanxiao went here to report directly. Emperor Ming Pei nodded and didn't say much.
Wei Xuanxiao withdrew.
The little five and six people outside came back, and when they saw Wei Xuanxiao, Wei Gui was surprised, "Father, why are you here?"
Wei Xuanxiao greeted the twins, and replied: "The emperor is here, I'm here to report something, what are you doing here?"
Wei Gui said: "His Royal Highness, take us to see the little princess!"
He didn't want to say more to his father: "I'm going!" At the same time, he followed the twins and ran in.
Because Xinbao is not at home for dinner these days, the twins originally wanted to invite their friends to have dinner together, but when they were halfway there, they heard that Xinbao met an assassin today, and almost died of fright, they ran away like flying Going in, I even forgot to greet him: "Xinbao Xinbao, are you alright?"
Xinbao said: "It's okay!"
The little fifth brother said: "What kind of assassins, men and women, aren't they scary?"
Xinbao shook his head: "I didn't see anything!"
With a look of regret, several adults twitched the corners of their mouths.
A few companions came in to greet them, and the twins also remembered that they were greeted.
Emperor Ming Pei said: "No." He put down the dumpling and said, "Be careful, don't touch her hands."
Several people responded, and Wei Gui took the lead and squeezed the twins away, just like helping an old woman, supporting Xinbao's other hand, and then helped her away, while asking her warmly: "Xinbao, don't be afraid, I can back it up for you." poetry."
Xinbao didn't want to listen to the poems, so he asked him: "Master Wei just now, is that your father?"
"That's right!" Wei Gui said, "It's my dad. Do you want to hear my dad's jokes?? My dad has a scar on his shoulder. He said I bit him when I was a child. I gave him half of my New Year's money, but after a year, my grandfather said that he had slipped the tongue, and I didn't know that it was because I was hit by a stone once!"
Xinbao: "Wow!"
Seeing that she likes to listen, the little fat boy cheered up: "Let me tell you, my father is amazing. He said he wanted to be Bao Qingtian, the one who would be famous in history in the future. A long time ago, a man hanged himself , my father said, he went to see it and knew it was fake, do you know why?"
This kind of scary and legendary little story is very poignant for boys of this age. Before Xinbao asked, the little fifth brother asked: "Why?"
The little chubby boy talked and compared: "That is, when a person hangs himself, he will step on the stool first, then push the stool down, and then hang up. Isn't the stool still on the side? Then he went to a Look, there's no stool underneath!"
Children: "Wow!"
Zheng Xuan beside said: "I can guess it even if you call me."
Wei Gui disagrees: "I told you so, of course you can guess it, I really want you to watch it, you were so scared that you called grandma, what are you bragging about!"
Sheng Chaohua smoothed things over: "Your father still told you this?"
"He didn't talk about it," Wei Gui said, "It was because I fell asleep at Aniang's place once, and I heard Dad talking to Mom, so I pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped."
