Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 918: "Father and Daughter" Difference

As Yu Wenye said before, starting from the day after the Lantern Festival, the whole of Chang'an became no longer peaceful.

The left-leading military guards began to search the city vigorously. Every city and every road was not spared from their carpet-like search. But even so, the few assassins who intercepted and killed Pei Xingyuan and then escaped without a trace Still missing.

Of course, they also captured the owners and waiters of the restaurants where the assassins were hiding.

The boss had long been frightened by what happened that morning, especially when the people who rushed out of his restaurant started fighting with people from the court. After he was taken away, he confessed everything without being punished. It's a pity that he doesn't know much about everything. After all, half of the city was hanging out on the long street the night before, and this restaurant happened to be in the busiest section of the road. There were not thousands but hundreds of people coming in and out. , how could he remember it so clearly.

At the end of the interrogation, he could only barely remember that these people all spent the night drinking in a private room.

But it wasn't until after the incident that they checked the private rooms and found that the food and wine that those people had ordered in advance were almost untouched. It seemed that they had planned to stay in that place all night, waiting for the carriage that escorted Pei Xingyuan. go through.

As a result, there are new problems.

These people stayed in the restaurant all night, and they didn't cover their faces when they came out. They obviously didn't want others to see their faces. Aren't they afraid of being recognized in the future?

This question was quickly answered.

After a few days, after no clues could be found in the city, the left-wing military guards began to search near the outside of the city, and soon found several corpses in a ravine on the outskirts of the city. Fortunately, the weather was cold and the corpses were not rotten, so that The owner of the restaurant and the escorting guards went over to identify them. They were the assassins who rushed out of the restaurant that day and attacked them.

The case ends here again.

Originally, he was thinking that there would be some good news from Duke Wushan, but after several days of pursuit, he came back dejectedly and could not find any trace of Jiang Tai or Liang Youying along the way. After all, the war is now in turmoil, and it is really difficult to find traces of two people who are skilled in martial arts and are willing to avoid them.

At this time, someone came from outside to report: "The Crown Princess has arrived!"

The maidservant was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down on the ground. Before she could even ask for mercy, Yu Dingxing said angrily: "Drag me down and beat me!"

These people apparently fled the city after the attack that day and were silenced here.

After accepting the blame, Yu Dingxing endured the anger, the pain from the half-blind eye from time to time, and the exhaustion of his muscles and bones from being jostled on horseback these days. When he returned home, the maid at home hurriedly served him a cup of hot tea. , he took it, took a sip, and immediately smashed it on the ground, roaring: "It's so hot, are you going to burn me to death?!"

The maid cried and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, Master, please spare my life, please spare your life..."

Yu Wenyuan was furious and scolded the people leading the left army guard. All the guards who escorted Pei Xingyuan were severely punished. Even the owner and waiters of the restaurant were punished. The Duke of Wushan County was fined a year's salary.

Normally, Yu Dingxing would have led his family members out to greet her, but this time, he sat motionless in the hall, only watching the maid lying at his feet, crying and begging for mercy, with a ferocious look on her face. With a cold expression, everyone in the family hurriedly rushed out, and after a while, they saw Crown Princess Yu Mingyue hurriedly walking in from outside.

It wasn't until she walked into the hall that Yu Dingxing raised his eyelids and said coldly: "The Crown Princess has arrived. Please forgive me for not being able to greet her from afar because of my illness."

Yu Mingyue's brows wrinkled. She has been having a very rough time these days. Ever since Yu Wenzhen came back to question her that day, although she denied it completely and Yu Wenzhen did not do anything to her, his cold attitude was right in front of him. The whole person was a prince. The people in the mansion took advantage of the situation and even looked at Lou Liangdi. She regretted it terribly. Why did she have to rush to sabotage the case in the first place? If she had known that someone would intercept and kill Pei Xingyuan and prevent the case from going to trial, why did they do it in the first place?
Now, Yu Wenzhen doesn't believe her, and even the emperor doubts them.

This time, Yu Dingxing was asked to go out of the city with injuries to hunt down Jiang Tai and Liang Youying. It was said to be on an errand, but in fact it was a disguised punishment. Everyone knew that the war was in chaos and the world was in chaos, especially those two people who were rebels in Wanggang Village. If we really get to Dongdu, it will be a matter of confrontation between the two armies. How can we possibly find him back?

Sure enough, Yu Dingxing suffered for several days and was fined a salary. Although it was a small punishment but a big warning, it was a clear slap in the face.

Yu Mingyue returned to the Yu Mansion with a lot of depression and wanted to discuss it with Yu Dingxing. As soon as she came in, she saw a maid kneeling on the ground crying with tears streaming down her face. She suddenly felt a wave of irritation: "What's going on? ?”

While he was talking, he saw the broken teacup on the ground.

He immediately said: "Don't delay it any longer!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the servants did not dare to neglect her. The housekeeper immediately came in with two young men and dragged the maid out of the hall. After a while, a shrill scream came from far outside the second door. The housekeeper hurriedly Ask someone to close the door and block out the screams.

At this time, Yu Mingyue slowly sat down, looking at Yu Dingxing's still livid face, and tentatively said: "Father these days -"

Yu Dingxing said coldly: "Thanks to the Crown Princess, I haven't died of exhaustion yet."

Yu Mingyue immediately said: "I don't understand what father said. The emperor asked you to hunt down the two traitors. Even if you are tired, you are doing errands for the court."

Yu Dingxing gritted his teeth hard and said, "Yes, I am doing errands for the imperial court."

"..."

"But in the past, the imperial court never allowed the wounded to go out on errands."

Yu Mingyue's throat was blocked, and she let out a deep breath and said, "There is nothing we can do about this matter."

Yu Dingxing sneered and said: "There is no way? The Crown Princess was very capable at the time. She asked my father to interrogate all the people in a village outside the city. In the end, Su Qinglan was released, and Du Ruoming, who you pushed up, was killed. When we came down, Princess Qin and the emperor's grandson were still alive and kicking. Now that Pei Xingyuan's whereabouts are unknown, the emperor is targeting me. "

Mentioning this, a cold light flashed across Yu Mingyue's eyes.

She sat there, silent for a long time, and finally raised her head, lowered her voice as soft as a mosquito's whisper, and then spoke softly: "The person who intercepted and killed Pei Xingyuan...does father know who it is?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Dingxing was stunned.

The next moment, he suddenly became furious and his eyes turned red: "What does the Crown Princess mean by this!?"
