Chapter 16
Seeing that Zhao Xuan was safe and sound, the big stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground. Although Zhui Ming had already received an affirmative answer, they had to see it with their own eyes to be at ease.

However, the people from Dongchang and the captain who led the army saw Zhao Xuan's angry face, knowing that there was still a hurdle waiting for them, and their minds were running fast, trying to find a reason to excuse themselves when King Cheng committed a crime No way, although they tried their best, but their skills were inferior to others, they didn't even go into the prince's courtyard, and came after the killers had retreated, protecting the loneliness.

The other party wants to pursue their own responsibilities, and they can't even say a word of defense.

They could only hurriedly knelt down to salute Zhao Xuan, and shouted, "I'm too late to save you, please forgive me, my lord!"

Zhao Xuan waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, get up, who are you all kneeling here for someone to see! If the killers leave and come back, one by one will kneel on the ground to protect this king!"

When everyone heard this, they got up quickly, and the leader, General Chen, hurriedly said, "The last general didn't think well, please forgive me, my lord!"

Zhao Xuan ignored him, but asked Zhui Ming and Duan Tianya beside him
"Thanks to Lord Cui and Brother Duan this time, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have died in Huangquan long ago. Both of them are injured. If you don't dislike it, you can take a short rest in the king's house nearby. I will call a doctor right away." Come and heal two"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but it's rare for us to catch someone alive this time, so we should hurry up and interrogate. As for the two of us, we only suffered minor injuries, so please take care of us, lord."

"You can ask about the interrogation tomorrow, but healing is more important."

Zhao Xuan tried to persuade him again, but seeing the two persisted, Zhao Xuan agreed. At this time, several people from the East Factory looked at each other, wanting to make up for their mistakes, and interrogation is what they are good at, so they took the initiative to invite Ying, saying "My lord, the lower officials have quite a lot of experience in interrogating intelligence. Master Cui and Mr. Duan are both injured. To avoid long nights and dreams, why don't we let us take charge of the interrogation."

Duan Tianya is well aware of Dongchang's methods. Their so-called method is nothing more than torture to extract a confession. The method is cruel and inhumane. He was afraid that Zhao Xuan would agree to this murderous hand.So before Zhao Xuan spoke, he said

"My lord, this person was captured by Tian Ya, Tian Ya dares to ask my lord to hand her over to me."

"Young Master Duan, let's rest at ease and heal your wounds. You don't have to bother Young Master Duan with such a trivial matter."

The people in Dongchang saw that Duan Tianya had snatched someone from them, and they were eager to make up for what they had done, and they couldn't help but feel weird
It's a pity that Zhao Xuan has a very good sense of Duan Tianya because of his rescue performance, which is in stark contrast to the incompetence of people like Dongchang. Naturally, he agrees to this trivial matter
But the people in Dongchang resented Duan Tianya in their hearts, and said in their hearts, let you be proud for a while, and wait for the people sent by the Governor to come, and let's settle the old and new grudges together!

At this moment, Zhui Ming suddenly said, "My lord, the assassins who came this time are highly skilled in martial arts. Ordinary soldiers are no match for them. General Chen and the others have already tried their best. Please forgive them for the sake of my subordinates."

Hearing the words of chasing life, Zhao Xuan turned his head and said to General Chen

"Since Mr. Cui pleaded for you, this king will not hold you accountable this time. General Chen, you will be in charge of organizing the aftermath work, finding doctors to treat the injured soldiers, and comforting the sacrificed soldiers. They are all because of If the king dies, the king will personally compensate the sacrificed soldiers with 20 taels per person, and the remaining wounded soldiers with 5 taels per person."

After hearing this, General Chen looked gratefully at his life, and quickly kowtowed, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, Mr. Cui, and I will thank you for your kindness on behalf of the soldiers!"

"Listen to this king, this money must be sent to their home. If you let this king know that there is someone who is not open-eyed and wants to spend a lot of money, and even this money is greedy, don't blame this king for not paying attention." Show mercy!"

General Chen swore to the sky, "If this matter cannot be handled well, the general will come to see you!"

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that King Cheng didn't mean to blame himself. This test has finally passed. Turning around and thinking about it, he has to greet his brother-in-law quickly and tell that greedy bastard that if the money is greedy, then I'm going to lose my head!
Zhao Xuan yawned and said, "Okay, let's go down, we'll talk about everything tomorrow, the king is going to rest"

Hearing this, except for the soldiers who were assigned to guard the yard, everyone retreated
After returning to the house, the sleepiness was swept away on his face, and he murmured
"It's getting more and more interesting, Black Stone, and that mysterious man."

Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan had just finished his breakfast when he heard Chen Chongying come to report
"Your Highness, Lord Prefect Duan seeks an audience"

"If he doesn't come, this king still wants to find him! Let him get out!"

As soon as the words fell, a round meat ball rolled in unsteadily, that meat ball was none other than Duan Zhifu
Last night, Master Duan, who drank a lot of wine, was in a daze, and was called out from under the quilt by his subordinates. Before he got angry, he heard the news that Zhao Xuan had been assassinated, and immediately frightened him Losing his courage, the wine was startled awake at that time. You know, if the prince of the current dynasty died under his jurisdiction, then he would be in a catastrophe. Besides, he also hosted a banquet that night. If he was framed for participating in the assassination , it's not just as simple as losing an official position,

So he immediately sent people to assemble his troops, and went to the station non-stop. When he arrived, the killers had already retreated. After hearing the news that Zhao Xuan was safe and sound, he was relieved. He originally wanted to go to Zhao Xuan's side immediately to express his concern. , By the way, he has absolutely nothing to do with the killer.

It's a pity that Zhao Xuan had already said that he would not see anyone tonight, and that the guards would not enter. He had no choice but to wait outside until the morning, knowing that he would only come in now.

As soon as the other party came in, he knelt on the ground and said flatteringly: "My lord, as soon as I heard that some villains dared to assassinate my lord, I immediately led troops to support my lord. You are safe and sound, I wanted to come to see the prince last night, but I heard that the prince has fallen asleep, so I dare not disturb him, and I came here when I heard that the prince had finished his meal."

Zhao Xuan said nonchalantly: "Oh? That's really hard work, Mr. Duan cares."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as the prince is safe and sound, the next official will be at ease."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan's expression changed instantly, pop!With a bang, palms were rearranged on the table

"Hmph! It's hard work, it's really hard work to have so many gangsters under Master Duan's rule!"

Upon hearing this, Prefect Duan, who thought nothing had happened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in cold sweat

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life! I will guarantee with my head, I have absolutely nothing to do with those gangsters, my lord, you must trust me!"
