Chapter 159 Interpretation(1/2)
The crowds dispersed on the streets, and then countless horse hooves were galloping on various streets, causing chaos in the entire capital.
There are also horse hooves on the streets, but they are not imperial guards. Who is so bold? There are petty officials on both sides looking out and seeing a group of young people wearing Confucian robes....
"It's from Xiliang..." Someone quickly recognized it and explained, "Crown Prince Suo Shengxuan..."
It turned out to be them, but why did they come to the palace? As the prince of a country, he could not appear in the palace at will without being summoned...
Suo Shengxuan was stopped outside the palace gate.
"How is Qi Niang?" He was not angry that he was stopped, nor did he make a fuss, and his eyes were filled with tears. "How could he be injured... He can be injured, it must be very serious... Just let me go in and take a look. Don't treat me as the prince of Xiliang... You can treat me as an imperial guard... You can also change clothes..."
Why is this a matter of changing clothes? The guards were speechless. The prince of Xiliang did not show his prince's majesty and was angry, but instead cried. They didn't know what to do... An eunuch rushed over.
"Your Highness, please go back first. Mr. Qin is not seriously injured." He whispered, holding Suo Shengxuan and turning around.
Suo Shengxuan said: "No? How could it be..."
The eunuch whispered: "The young master blocked it with his hands...so it was just a skin injury." He said, "Your Highness should not go out first when you go back, those assassins have not caught it..."
Assassin? Suo Shengxuan stopped and looked surprised: "What? Assassin?"
The eunuch looked around and lowered his voice: "Your Highness doesn't know yet. The young master was injured and was not smashed by the colored hut, but an assassin took the opportunity to assassin..."
Suo Shengxuan blinked: "Hey? Assassin?"
...
...
"…..This is our mistake... I knew that many thieves were infiltrated... but they have never been arrested."
Song Yuan said, his voice rising.
Qin Tan Gong's duty room was full of people and seemed even more crowded. Although there was only Song Yuan's voice, the echo was full of suffocating.
Qin Tan said justice: "This is not your fault, this is my order."
The suffocation in the room was slightly relieved.
"Their existence was originally not threatening," said an official with a deep face, "but someone deliberately spread the identity of the young master recently... and those people put their ideas on the young master."
"And the protection around the young master is lacking, and they have the opportunity to take advantage of it..." Another man said hurriedly, lowering his head, "This is our fault."
Qin Tan said justice: "I said it has nothing to do with you, I did not arrange for you to protect him." He looked at Song Yuan again, "How many assassins were caught? What did they say?"
Song Yuan said: "Catched three." He was angry again, "I bite all and committed suicide, but my whereabouts have been confirmed... They have all been in and out of Qian Mo's mansion."
An official said: "Then, it may not be necessary whether the people outside or people from the court do the things this time."
There are countless enemies from Qin Tan Gong outside, and naturally there are also people in the court, such as Wang Lieyang and others, such as the hidden imperial concubines...
"It seems that Qian Mo's arrest really stimulated them."
"What are you waiting for? Take this opportunity to search for the thief who assassinated the young master. It is reasonable and well-founded, and arrest it."
"Leave this matter to our Ministry of Justice. I will do it. If you dare to assassinate the young master, you will definitely teach them a hard lesson."
The room was filled with discussions again, and the Song and Yuan dynasties were naturally louder, but not the loudest.
"What reason? What is the evidence? I was stabbed?"
A sound came from behind the screen, crisp and loud, instantly overshadowing the noise in the room.
The interior was suddenly quiet.
The sound behind the screen continued.
"Wait a moment…"
Wait a moment? What are you waiting for? Everyone in the room is a little puzzled... A woman's scream sounded behind the screen.
"Oh, Qi Niang, what are you doing? Come down quickly..."
Everyone in the room looked shocked. Of course, it was not because it was the Queen Mother's voice. They naturally knew that the Queen Mother was here, and what was the boy inside?
"My aunt, don't stop me, I'm going to hang myself... I'm dead, you can catch people more happily in the name of avenging me."
Hanging... Everyone in the room looked stunned, and the Queen Mother's voice became even more anxious, as if she could not stop the young man. What should I do? What should I say and do? Everyone couldn't help but look at Duke Qin Tan... I had never encountered such a situation before. Even Song Yuan, who was the best at please Duke Qin Tan, blinked and opened his mouth and was at a loss.
Qin Tan Gong looked at the screen, without any rush or annoyance, and said, "What's wrong? This is avenging you."
The boy's crisp voice behind the screen was raised.
"Revenge? This is what everyone in the world wants to know that I was assassinated. I, Qin Mei, was stabbed by an assassin! I can't afford to lose such a person, so I'll die."
I heard a buzzing sound inside, probably because the stool was kicked over, accompanied by the cry of Empress Dowager Qin.
"Seven Niang, don't make trouble for you and you will still be hurt..."
Qin Tan said justice: "Okay, I know, then I won't say it."
The noise inside stopped immediately.
Everyone inside did not dare to speak, but only heard Qin Tan say justice: "Assassin, you continue to investigate, and the people in the court should do whatever they want. You can find other things at will. As for the injury, it is an accident."
Well... everyone agreed in unison and bowed out, but someone stepped forward and took a step forward.
"Master, I want to see the young master's wound."
Everyone stopped and looked at Duan Shan. Mr. Qin Tan looked at him. Duan Shan didn't say anything, and everyone was about to disperse before they emerged.
Qin Tan said justice: "Look at the wound?"
Duan Shan said: "I want to see the wound, see what weapons the assassin uses and his habit of attacking."
Qin Tangong did not speak but looked behind the screen, and the voice of a young man came from behind the screen.
"What do you think of, what kind of weapon habits? Who is so stupid to kill and talk about habits? Will I be injured by that kind of idiot?"
Duan Shan frowned and wanted to say something. Qin Tan Gong raised his hand and said, "Go."
Song Yuan glared at Duan Shan and pulled him. Duan Shan lowered his head and bowed and retreated with everyone.
"But the habit of killing people is not necessarily stupid..." he said.
The people in front and behind looked at him.
"Mr. Duan, don't be so crafty."
"Assassin is an assassin, killing people is a murderer, what are the habits of weapons..."
Listening to everyone's jokes, Duan Shan was not ashamed and still looked unhappy, saying, "Some assassins are different. Knowing some details can help you find him faster."
Song Yuan said angrily: "Don't talk about these things, don't look at when, the young master doesn't want to mention this, you have to mention it... Just do your best."
Duan Shan did not speak again, and everyone no longer cared about this. There was another thing that shocked many people today.
"So... Qi Niang is a young master." An official whispered.
...
...
"He turned out to be Qin Tan Gong's own son..."
In the indoor room of Kangdai, Imperial College, two men were surprised and lost their voices.
"That Qi Niang... turns out to be her son."
The Qin Mei was sent directly to the duty room of Qin Tan Gong in the palace, without escaping all the way, and the Queen Mother Qin also rushed over and shouted Qi Niang... There was no secret in the imperial city, and the news soon came to their ears.
"It turns out that it has always been a fake daughter to cover up people's eyes and ears." Kang Dai said.
"Then it's even worse now." Someone frowned and looked heavy, "Qin Mei has such an identity."
The old servant's report came from outside the door.
"Mr. Qingxia is here."
Accompanied by the sound of speaking, Mr. Qingxia pushed the door and came in. It seemed that she was in a hurry and didn't even wrap her cloak, but her expression was as usual.
Something happened to the students of the Imperial College. It is not surprising that there are more officials from the Imperial College. Xue Qing is involved, so it is natural for Mr. Qingxia to come as his husband.
Mr. Qingxia had just sat down and before she finished speaking, the old servant called out Xue Qing was here again.
Everyone in the room looked busy and looked at the boy pushing the door in. His clothes had been changed and his hair was neatly bundled, as if he had been studying quietly. He did not run wildly on the street and was not hit by the colored shed.
She gave a brief salute when the door was closed, and several men in the room stood up to salute.
"Why did you fight on the street and knock the colorful shed down? Then Qin Mei..." Kang Dai asked in a low voice.
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Qingxia said, "Then did you hurt Qin Mei?"
Alas? Everyone in the room looked at Mr. Qingxia...
Xue Qing said: "Yes."
Yi? Everyone looked at Xue Qing again.
"So this is not an accident. You collapsed the coloring shed. You took action to cover it up." Mr. Qingxia said.
Xue Qing nodded and said yes.
How could it be... Kang Dai and others finally reacted, looking in disbelief. It turned out that what Duan Shan said was true... Kang Dai suddenly remembered Duan Shan's sound of Xue Qing in his ears, and a layer of cold sweat broke out from his back again.
