Chapter 454: But how many birds are there in one stone?

Because Xu Liang and Shen Yue were not at home these days, Xu Xun often stayed in the military camp, so he simply stayed there. Sometimes even if he had free time at night, he would choose to stay in the leisure park quietly to avoid the traffic of tourists at home that could almost break the threshold these days. This was a pain. Zhang Cai, who had not yet taken office, could not even hide from the purity. Fortunately, there is another Cao Qian who often comes to help, and they can finally take some time. However, no one expected that Xu Xun was escorted back in less than two hours after he left Xing'an Bo Mansion. The reason was that he was assassinated!

The two visitors who came to ask for a meeting ignored them and quickly invited the imperial physician, they stood at the door of the house and walked back and forth, almost nodding and hitting one piece several times. Until the outside reported that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, had actually come in person, they were immediately startled to greet him. But just as they started to greet him, a young man in a plate-collar, narrow sleeves, woven golden dragon and yellow robe rushed out from the hall. While knowing that the ten-year-old was reporting the news outside, the little emperor rushed in. The two hurriedly went down the steps and went forward to greet him, but Zhu Houzhao ignored them at all and rushed into the room.

Liu Jin was already very old. In order to chase Zhu Houzhao's urgent and fast steps, he was already sweating profusely. Seeing that the little emperor had entered the house, he had just asked nothing accurate from Jin Liu and Liu An, so he grabbed Zhang Cai who was about to follow in, and asked with a sharp voice: "What the hell is going on?"

"Report to Eunuch Liu, Lord Liu was assassinated on the way to the military camp." Zhang Cai broke free from Liu Jin's hand, looked at him deeply, and said word by word, "The murderer is Jiang Shanfei, who escaped from the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice!"

Jiangshan Fei? Who is that person?

Liu Jin frowned and thought hard, but Gu Dayong, who was beside him, was moved. He glanced at Liu Jin and didn't say much, and rushed straight into the room so quickly. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine. Thinking of Zhu Houzhao's obsession with bows and horses, he suffered minor injuries from the head of his body every few days. In order to prevent disturbing Emperor Hongzhi, these close servants of the Eastern Palace often brought some medicinal wine, gold and medicine from the Imperial Hospital. The smell was already very familiar. Thinking of this, he only stood for one stop and quickly walked into the west room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhu Houzhao standing there blankly. At that moment, he almost felt a bucket of ice water pouring on his head.

Could it be that Xu Xun has...

"Where is that dog thief who assassinated you? I want to lingchi him!"

Zhu Houzhao's sudden roar shocked the crowd of people in the room. Even Xu Xun, who was lying on the bed, had an impulse to hide his ears. Looking at the skin trauma on his body, he forced a smile, as if he was completely unaware that his smile was even worse than crying in the eyes of others. Even he himself was amazed at Jiang Shanfei's solid foundation, and was glad that he had prepared carefully.

All the servants recruited this time were scared away by the document. Except for Jiang Shanfei, they were all good men secretly obtained through Huitong, and their loyalty could be guaranteed. Moreover, Jiang Shanfei's carefully poisoned copper coin darts had long been taken by Lu Mang to take advantage of the opportunity to stop him, and then all of them were dropped. Otherwise, even if he was wearing close-fitting soft armor protection at that time, he would have to be unlucky! As for the last flying dagger, he was blocked by a guard beside him, which made him avoid it.

However, in front of Zhu Houzhao, he had to pretend to be poisoned but still careless, and comforted with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's okay, it's just a little skin injury, and it's not as dangerous as the time when he led his troops out of the frontier with Jingyang Bo. It was just a clown who took him down with his guards in three punches and two kicks, and thanks to Cao Qian's sword from the sky."

Xu Xun glanced at Cao Qian who was still kneeling there by the head of the bed, pointed at the person and smiled: "Did the emperor see that? The young hero is nothing but the same. My brother is bold and careful, and my brother is the same. I have met all this brother!"

If it were normal, Zhu Houzhao liked young heroes the most, but now he was not at all interested. He looked down at Cao Qian and stamped his feet in anger: "When is it? You still have the heart to ask for me for me. If you have a few shortcomings, what's the use of them being brave! That assassin... What's the guy named Jiang Shanfei? I want to examine him personally. I want to see who he is. I have three heads and six arms, and he is brave and dares to attack my loyal minister!"

Zhu Houzhao was so furious that Cao Qian, who was kneeling down, had just heard Xu Xun's recommendation to him. He was only extremely moved, but at this moment, the only thing left was frightened. Not to mention looking up, he didn't even dare to move. Just when he was so cruel that his neck was a little sore, a strange voice came from behind that he had never heard of. At first, he knew that it was a eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Shanfei was the one who threatened Xu Jing and assassinated Zhang Cai before..." Gu Dayong glanced at Xu Xun and saw that he was covered with many white cotton bandages, and the faint blood that could still be seen in many places. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then bent down more respectfully and said, "If I remember correctly, this person should be in the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice. How could he easily escape from prison?"

When Gu Dayong reminded him, Zhu Houzhao immediately remembered this person and frowned tightly. Liu Jin, who came in at the same time, had just heard such a name from Zhang Cai. When he finally thought of Min Gui, he was a little happy at first and thought that he was planning to attack Han Wen, so this happened. As long as Min Gui and Han Wen were connected together, he would even get rid of the skin even if he was not dead. However, the two words "Min Gui" made him suddenly realize it, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

Such a person should have been killed long ago. I think Jiao Fang had cleared the prison before, so how could he just let such a guy go? Could it be that old guy wanted to take revenge and wanted to get crazy, but he ended up instigating such a thing?

Thinking of this, Liu Jin had long forgotten that he should have gone up to express his concern for Xu Xun and asked about his well-being. He stood there and hesitated. Zhu Houzhao, who turned his back to him, did not see it, but Gu Dayong, who was only a few steps away from him, saw Liu Jin's hesitant complex expression clearly.

Xu Xun leaned there, and glanced at the two big sluts in such a situation, he withdrew his gaze and coughed twice. Seeing Zhu Houzhao sitting down at the head of the bed with concern, he whispered: "Don't worry, Master, it's really okay. Doctor Hu had said just now. Fortunately, most of the copper coin darts were blocked, but they were just slightly poisonous. It would be fine if you keep them for a few days."

"I don't know you yet, you guy knows how to show off!"

Zhu Houzhao instinctively raised her slap on Xu Xun's shoulder, but when she was about to pat her, he remembered that this was a wounded person. He finally stopped his hand with a slight slightest margin, but he still couldn't help but say hatefully: "I originally wanted to let you hold the throne to be the queen in the future, but this happened... Damn, damn, I really want to kill that dog thief now!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Dayong and Liu Jin and said, "Gu Dayong, I'll leave this matter to you! Let your Xichang check it out for me, and you can take away that Jiangshanfei. As long as you can pry his mouth open, I don't care what you use for the heavy punishment! The deadline is half a month. If you can't find out, you are the admiral of the Xichang. I won't have to do it anymore, and I will replace you!"

Seeing Gu Dayong lower his head and agreed, he didn't go forward to visit Xu Xun again, and just left the room. Liu Jin thought for a moment and then tiptoed out. When Gu Dayong caught up, he put his hand on his shoulder with one hand.

"Lao Gu, the emperor is angry, don't take it to heart!" After holding Gu Dayong, Liu Jin said earnestly, "No matter what, we have been with the emperor for so many years, and the relationship is deeper than Xu Xun. Now the emperor is so angry that if there is no result, we can't blame others. I just inquired about this, Jiangshanfei was something Xu Xun himself didn't notice for a moment. It can be said that he was leading a wolf into the house. If the emperor really blames him, I and others will definitely talk to you!"

Speaking of this, Liu Jin realized that he had used the word "I" that he hated and decided to change, so he quickly coughed again, "Anyway, don't be too hasty. This kind of assassin who is so stubborn is not so easy to deal with. Slowly simmer warm water, don't rush to cook. Let's go back and say to Qiu Ju, and ask his Dongchang to help you."

"Then I'll thank you!"

Four words burst out from Gu Dayong's mouth. When he left Xing'an Bo Mansion and got on the horse's horse, he sternly ordered the follower to go to Lingji Hutong, and then he whipped it hard on the horse's thighs. He galloped out like a gust of wind. He didn't know whether he was angry, regretful, or regretful, but in any case, he was mixed with all kinds of feelings. When he jumped down in front of the Xichang Yamen, his dark face was really scared by many monks and lieutenants.

Huitong, who was quickly greeting, only called out Eunuch Gu. Seeing Gu Dayong ignored his intentions, he went straight in his stomach. He couldn't help but complain in his stomach that Xu Xun, who made such a big deal, immediately ran to follow Gu Dayong. When he was in the general office, he saw Gu Dayong sitting down with a tiger face, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke out and tentatively: "Eunuch Gu, but the emperor handed over the assassination of Pingbeibo to our Xichang? Don't worry, as long as Jiang Shanfei came in, Bei Zhi kept him in and would be able to torture even the things he had in his previous life!"

Gu Dayong didn't say anything. After using it for a long time, he said word by word: "You don't have to worry too much about this matter. When the criminal handed over, let's see Yan Shi first. Now I only leave one thing to you. First check the relevant people from the Ministry of Justice for me. If you go to see Tu Xun, just say the emperor's words. If you can't find out within half a month, I will only ask, but this matter is a trick of his Ministry of Justice. If he doesn't explain it, he will not be the Minister of Justice!"

Huitong heard that Gu Dayong did not say the severe punishment and tried the punishment directly. He directly mentioned the Ministry of Justice. Knowing that the smart governor of the West Factory thought of the key so quickly, he repeatedly agreed and retreated. When he arrived outside, he saw the heads of the first few hundred households coming up. He conveyed Gu Dayong's meaning, and then said with a smile: "Anyway, this is a task sent by the emperor. If there is no result, Eunuch Gu will be in trouble, and we can't run away. The Ministry of Justice will take a two-pronged approach. I will go to the Secretary of the People's Republic of China in person. You guys will keep a close eye on the subordinates, especially those prison guards. Don't let someone run away!"

Zhu Houzhao entrusted Gu Dayong with the important task of investigating the case without saying anything, and he stayed in Xing'an Bo Mansion and wanted to see the imperial physician change the medicine. No matter how hard Xu Xun persuaded him, he could not persuade him, so he could only follow the little emperor helplessly. However, Liu Jin didn't want to be too late for a moment, so he found an excuse to say that he wanted to go to the cabinet and tell the officials that he had to leave. Zhu Houzhao nodded impatiently.

"Go and go, let them take care of those government affairs, and you will be finished by approving the money!"

Liu Jin and Gu Dayong left, and Zhu Houzhao's spearhead was transferred from two imperial physicians to Cao Qian, who was guarding today. He asked a few words with a stern face. Seeing that the young man in his 25 or 26 were dealing well, thinking about Xu Xun's recommendation just now, he thought for a moment and said calmly: "If Xu Xun is fine then, your entourage is rewarded today, I will reward you very much, but if he has..."

"Your Majesty, I am really not a big deal. Don't curse me if I have any shortcomings!"

Although he was willing to suffer this kind of pain today, Xu Xun really didn't want to hear those things from Zhu Houzhao again, and couldn't help but interrupt the little emperor. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized and stopped talking, he turned his head and looked at him in anger. He, the wounded, actually comforted the visitor. Until an imperial physician came in with a medical box, Zhu Ying and several girls were carrying copper basins and white cotton cloth, he made a gesture to Cao Qian to go out, but when he wanted to drive Zhu Houzhao out, the little emperor refused to leave, so he had to let someone stand beside him.

Zhu Houzhao stared at the imperial physician intently. Seeing that he carefully dismantled the layer of white cotton cloth from Xu Xun's body, he realized that Xu Xun had three wounds on his upper body. They were all in the vital position, one on his left shoulder, one on his abdomen, and one on his left upper arm. At first glance, the wound was small and deep, which seemed a little scary. Seeing Xu Xun squinted his eyes and let the imperial physician clean the medicines applied during the first aid, his eyebrows were twisted tightly, and the water in a copper basin turned red in a moment, followed by a second basin. Zhu Houzhao felt more and more angry, but he could only endure it.

When Doctor Hu started changing the medicine on Xu Xun's legs, he strode out without waiting for Xu Xun to speak. Cao Qian glanced at Xu Xun and saw him showing his eyes, he hurriedly followed him out. As soon as the two of them opened the curtains and went out, Zhu Houzhao found that several people in the yard were whispering.

Jingyang Boshenying and Zhang Yong stood together, Xu Zhenqing and Tang Yin stood together, and Zhang Cai was talking to Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo, Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling, Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling, and Gao Feng and several eunuchs. Although he usually looked at Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, he was a little disliked by Zhang Heling, but when he saw people, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that the two were pretty good, so he nodded slightly and went down the steps. Seeing a lot of people wanting to salute, he waved his hand and stopped.

"I'm outside today, I won't tell you about these false rituals. I'm very happy that you arrived here so soon, but he is changing the medicine now. It's not convenient to see guests, so you can do your best." Speaking of this, he looked at Jingyang Boss Shenying and Zhang Yongdao, "Shenying, Xu Xun is afraid that he can't go to the military camp these days. You can take care of military affairs. You do your work seriously and carefully. I can trust you. And Zhang Yong... Miao Kui is here at the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so you can just go to Xu Xun's place to serve as the military supervisor."

Since Zhang Yong got the position of eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison as he wished, his grudges with Miao Kui have faded. He was also bored when he stood in the Imperial Horse Prison, so he was happy before, so the emperor transferred him to the Imperial Court to make him sit in Shenji Camp and other places. However, for example, the name of the eunuch of the previous camp was nothing.

It should be noted that his time was starting from the frontier army. Since Xu Xun led his army out of the frontier, he started to reach the fortress and returned to the court to serve as the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, he asked someone to calculate a divination for him. The famous Luo Zu criticized him for two sentences, saying that he was because of Xu Erchang and Xu Ergui, and now he was in the same place with Xu Xun. In his opinion, this was simply destined by God. At this moment, he knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed.

"Don't worry, my servant will definitely live up to the holy hope!"

Although Shen Ying's movements were a beat slower than Zhang Yong, his words were also decisive: "Don't worry, my elders, I will definitely lead these elites well, live up to the ambition of pacifying Beibo's strong army, and live up to the emperor's great wish to pacify the captives!"

The two men said this, and Zhu Houzhao finally showed a smile on her face, which had been tense. She said a few casually to her two uncles and Ding Guo Duke Xu Guangzuo, sent Gao Feng and others back to the palace. She learned from Zhang Cai that there were many people who came to visit in person or sent people to visit. Among them, Xu Yanche, Qiji, Qian Ning and Maqiao were not left alone, and there were also some civil servants, but Xu Xun had already ordered them to keep the people outside and ordered them to go back to their respective positions. He couldn't help but exclaim: "After all, it's Xu Xun, I will take the destiny of him, a general!"

However, Xu Xun, who was praised for his demeanor at this time, was complaining. If it weren't for biting a cloth roll in his mouth, he almost didn't scream when it was treated to the last wound on the outside of his thigh. However, this bitter meat plan was designed by him himself, and he wanted to eat the bitterness himself. Moreover, Cao Qian and others were injured in all kinds of big and small. As soon as he came back, he made the wound even more terrifying. If he couldn't hold on to the pustules at this moment, it would be really embarrassing.

Of course, this trip is not for nothing!

He gritted his teeth until the end. When Doctor Hu took out the cloth roll from his mouth tremblingly, and then smiled carefully and said that he would have nothing to do if he was to rest for a month or two. He took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and nodded.

"I'm sorry today."

Seeing that Doctor Hu didn't dare to say anything, Xu Xun glanced at Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying quickly walked to the dressing table on the side, took a few golden crocks from the small box on his head, and handed them to Doctor Hu with both hands. Seeing this, Doctor Hu still didn't dare to accept it. Xu Xun smiled and said, "You have been here often these days, and your medical skills are very good, so you don't have to change to others."

Xu Xun's assassination, from the emperor to the nobles, and even the high-quality big wands, all showed up. Naturally, Doctor Hu was willing to come here often, after all, curing it is a great achievement. Therefore, although he felt that Xu Xun's poison was still a little inaccurate, and it was not so easy to eradicate it, but when he thought of the danger of wealth and honor, he reached out to take the golden croaker with great gratitude, and then smiled and turned around and bowed.

"Thank you, Uncle Master, can trust you. If you don't abandon me, the officials will naturally be willing to come here to treat you every day."

Not long after the doctor Hu was led out by Zhu Ying, Zhu Houzhao came into the house again. Seeing that the little emperor stared at him, looking up and down, looking left and right, as if he was afraid that he would lose a piece of meat, Xu Xun could not stretch out his arm and make a strong gesture, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my elders, although I am not a master, I have been practicing with you for the past two years. I will not fall on the bed and cannot get up just because of a mere assassin. But your king of the country has been staying at my house and not leaving, and there must be a lot of discussion outside. If you are not relieved, you can sneak out tomorrow and day after day. Now, you should go back to the palace quickly, otherwise if you alarm the Queen Mother, I will really not be able to take it and leave."

Zhu Houzhao saw that Xu Xun's face was a little pale, but she was still in good spirits. In addition, he was so upset by these two sentences that he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Anyway, if you don't recover, you'll have to continue to show off with me! By the way, this criminal has been taken to the West Factory. If you don't worry, send a confidant there to supervise the trial!"

"Eunuch Gu is worried about anything, the emperor is worried about it." Xu Xun replied with a smile, and then said sincerely, "It's because the emperor was very dissatisfied with my guards just now, so I have to defend them. If they hadn't worked together to discipline the assassin today, wouldn't it be nice to take advantage of the chaos? Therefore, they not only had no mistakes, but also made contributions. Please ask the emperor to accept the favor and let me take them into the forefront of the government army and give them military positions."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and was about to object, but Xu Xun stared at him, so he had to say unhappily: "Okay, you are the most generous. You are the commander of the front-line commander of the government army. You can do this by yourself, but you have to wait until you recover from your injuries! I will report it to the Ministry of War. I believe that after Liu Yu, the Minister of War, would not dare to stick you to this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

It was not until Zhu Houzhao went reluctantly that Xu Xun felt relieved. He sent someone to invite Zhang Cai and Tang Yin in and asked them to deal with the guests who came to visit him. When he heard that the outside was gradually becoming clear, he asked Zhu Ying to hand over A Bao again and whispered to him. Soon, A Bao took the order to go to the yard where Lu Mang and others lived. I remember that there were people guarding the yard at the time, and now it is three layers inside and three layers outside. Even if he knew that he was doing it, the people inside could not help but feel anxious.

Therefore, when Abao opened his voice and called out Brother Lu, as Lu Miao came out, other people who were anxious to wait also poked their heads out of the door, or hid directly in front of the window and carefully observed outside. However, Abao seemed to have not seen these people, and smiled at Lu Miao honestly: "Brother Lu, the young master has asked for me for you in front of the emperor, and said that he would turn back and have all the documents to you, and all of them were transferred to serious military positions. You fired a cold arrow to stop Jiangshanfei. The greatest contribution is that you must be a serious household!"

As soon as these words came out, after a moment of silence in the room, many people shouted happily. Although Lu Mang was one of the participants in this incident, he still felt relieved. He smiled and sent Abao out of the yard. While walking back, he couldn't help but clench his fists and waved them hard, but in a flash he thought of another part.

When I first applied for the election, in addition to those of them who had already prepared a lot, there were many other heroes in the northern and southern areas of the valley. In the end, although those people were all gone without leaving, if the news of their promotion due to meritorious service and promotion spread today, I am afraid that someone would soon be moved! If the Pingbei Bo even made up his plan, he would have become a spirit!
