Chapter 216: Sleepless tonight 2

Tonight, except for me not falling asleep, there were people who didn’t fall asleep.

In the Censor's Office.

Zeng Daorong's complexion now looks much rosy than the paleness he had after vomiting blood this morning, but his rosyness was not because his body had recovered, but because he was angry by the girl in front of him.

"What did you say? Are you going to assassinate Deng Long?" Zeng Daorong struggled to sit up from the bed and roared at a girl standing by the bed.

The girl looked aggrieved, lowered her head, kept playing with the corner of her clothes with her hands, and said, "It's not because he hurt my father that I avenged you. During dinner, my father said that he went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and his daughter was waiting on the road."

"Then have you hurt him?" Zeng Daorong asked hurriedly.

The girl shook her head and said, "I asked many people, none of them were Deng Long. It was not until the end that I met someone, not him, but his brother."

Zeng Daorong was a little confused. Deng Long's family is the eldest son. When will an older brother appear?

"What's his brother's name?"

The girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, and said, "He said his name was Deng Gang!"

"Deng Gang?" The Censor even thought about this name and couldn't remember that there was such a person in the Deng family.

"But that person is not a good person!" the girl insulted, "and she also said she was a general. She also asked the girls around her to help in the fight. There was a little general's style there. But those three sisters were really beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful sister."

After hearing the girl's words, Zeng Daorong suddenly felt that his heart was cold. Now there are a few people in the capital who don't know that there are three beautiful women next to Deng Long. If you guess well, the person who calls himself Deng Gang is actually Deng Long. And the little girl in front of him didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was assassinating Deng Long.

"You continue!" Zeng Daorong finally calmed himself down again and asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that his father was angry, the little girl was also a little scared, but he had to answer the question, so she continued to say: "At the beginning, I fought with his two guards, but the martial arts of those two guards were very ordinary. After we played for a while, I guess I could win in more than a dozen moves. But at this time, he called an older sister, and at first I could still tie with her, but later the one named Deng Gang said something, and the older sister suddenly became powerful, and I was caught by them!"

"What?" Zeng Daorong was shocked and said, "You were caught by him? Then why did he let you back?"

"That's all up to my father." The girl raised her head, and a smile appeared on her originally aggrieved face, and said, "After I grabbed it, I reported my father's name, and he let me go as soon as he heard it."

Zeng Daorong felt that he was about to collapse. He told Deng Long who he was, and that was not to put a very good crime on himself? Assassinating a court official is quite a crime. However, why did he let him go? If he let him go, what evidence would there be? Even if the court investigated and refused to admit his account, the court would have no choice. Isn’t this a good opportunity to give up? Don’t you think about Deng Long’s character? Is that person really not Deng Long? But his brother Deng Gang? Who is Deng Gang?

The censor's mind was full of questions, too many people who didn't understand it. But the only thing that was certain was that his daughter was standing in front of him intact. Could it be that there was a conspiracy to let her come back?

After thinking for a while, Zeng Daorong felt dizzy with his head. He calmed down and leaned himself against the head of the bed, then asked, "What else did he say to you?"

The girl shook her head and said, "He said something, but her daughter couldn't understand, and she didn't know what he was saying?"

"What did he say?"

"He said: You shouldn't be involved in politics at your age. The darkness inside cannot be solved by reporting your father's name!" The girl thought for a while and then said, "He told me not to do this in the future."

"He really said that?" Zeng Daorong asked in confusion.

"Yes!" the girl nodded and said, "My daughter remembers it word for word, that's what he said."

Zeng Daorong looked at his daughter carefully, without showing any nervousness on her face, which means she was not lying. So these words were really what Deng Long said? Why did he do this?

Zeng Daorong, who had been in the officialdom for many years, knew that no matter which minister was, if such as assassination occurred, as long as he caught someone, even a small killer, he could make a big fuss about this matter, and even use it to remove his political enemies and eliminate future troubles forever. But now his daughter is really standing in front of him, and there is no scar on his body. It seems that there is no serious attack there, and it is just to capture her.

Zeng Daorong carefully savored the words his daughter said just now: "You shouldn't be involved in politics at your age. The darkness inside cannot be solved by reporting your father's name!" Then he sighed quietly and said, "You will go back to find your master tomorrow, and you will not be allowed to go down the mountain within five years!"

When he heard that he wanted to go back again, the girl's face suddenly felt a little unhappy and said anxiously: "Father, why? The girl just came back yesterday, so she wants to drive her daughter away again?"

"Assuming!" Zeng Daorong's tone showed a hint of severity.

"I'm not!" The girl said coquettishly, sat down beside the bed, took his hand and said, "I want to accompany my father, so I don't want to go up!"

"You have to go if you don't go! You can't help but decide!" Zeng Daorong said sternly. He accidentally coughed because he was angry. Then he remembered that his voice was too stern, so he stretched out a hand and gently stroked the girl's long satin-like hair, and said, "Be obedient, I'm for your own good too!"

The girl's eyes were filled with tears, and then she patted his hand open and cried, "Father is unreasonable!" Then she covered her mouth and ran out crying.

Zeng Daorong looked at the running children, sighed softly, and whispered: "I'm for your own good too! Deng Long lets you go today, it's hard to guarantee that others will let you go tomorrow. At that time, it was me, the father who harmed you."

As soon as the girl ran out, a woman came in at the door. She asked curiously: "What's wrong with Tingting? Have you scolded her?"

Zeng Daorong shook his head and said, "This little girl is so ignorant that she actually went to assassinate Deng Long. Who is Deng Long? I suffered a loss today, let alone a little girl. I don't even know that she was sold. Tomorrow you will ask someone to send her back to her master, and bring some silver at the same time, ask her master to take care of me for a while, and allow her to come back five years later."

"You want to send her away?" the woman was shocked and said, "She has only been back for two days. Why do you have the heart to send her to that place? That's not a place where people can stay."

"I'm for her good!" Zeng Daorong was slightly angry and said, "At least I can save her life!"

At this moment, a servant outside the door reported, "Master, is Mr. Gu coming?"

"Gu Renjian?" Zeng Daorong was slightly stunned, thinking to himself: What is he going to do?

But others have arrived, so they can't ask others to leave. They can only ask their servants to invite him in.

As soon as Gu Renjian entered the door, he clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zeng, do you know if your health is better?"

Zeng Daorong quickly returned the greeting and said, "Thank you, Brother Gu for your concern. It's no big deal after taking some medicine. I hope Brother Gu will forgive me for some rude things."

"Where?" Gu Renjian hurriedly said, "I'm so disturbed, I hope Brother Zeng will forgive me."

Zeng Daorong stopped talking to him at this time and asked, "I wonder what happened to Brother Gu?"

Gu Renjianzheng didn't know what to say, but Zeng Daorong happened to speak, and said, "Don't you know if Brother Zeng knows about Deng Long's assassination tonight?"

Zeng Daorong was shocked, but he still pretended to be ignorant and said, "I have been recuperating at home and knowing those things there."

Gu Renjian looked at Zeng Daorong with some confusion before saying, "I sent someone there tonight, saying that Bu was outside and said that Deng Long encountered an assassin's attack tonight, but it was unscathed. In the end, he caught the assassin, but he didn't know why the assassin was released. The above asked us to check it out well. If the assassin was the Grand Tutor, you might as well do a good job and pull down one of them."

After hearing what Gu Renjian said, Zeng Daorong felt a little glad, that was, those eyeliners didn't know that the assassin was his daughter. But then he felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the saying in his mind: Your age shouldn't be involved in politics. The darkness inside cannot be solved by reporting your father's name! He also has a stronger determination to send his children away.

Although his heart was ups and downs, his face did not show it. Instead, he nodded and said, "This is natural. If you don't take the opportunity to take advantage of it, wouldn't that be wasted opportunities? Isn't it just that I've found out about the assassin?"

Gu Renjian shook his head and said, "It would be great if I knew it. What else would I have to worry about? But the superior said that if I really can't find out, it would be fine, so as not to make others suspicious if the action is too big."

Zeng Daorong nodded and said, "Brother Gu's words make sense, but we might as well check them too. If we really can't find out, we'll say it."

Gu Renjian sighed, "It's just a pity that Deng Long is intact this time, even if he is injured a little bit!"

Zeng Daorong had to respond on the surface, but cursed Gu Ren thoroughly in his heart. He checked the assassin, and if he found out, he would not have his own life?
