Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 332 Undercurrent Surging 1
Gao Yang opened his eyes, and seeing her husband sitting on the couch secretly hating, after hearing Fang Yiai's heart from the incomplete words, Gao Yang's heart was also touched.

Standing up gently, Gao Yang snuggled up behind Fang Yi'ai with tears in her eyes, leaning on her husband's thick spine, the hesitation in her heart was a little calmed down.

"Brother Jun'er, are you having a nightmare?"

"Shu'er has four days until the imperial examination, I"

In the middle of the sentence, even though Fang Yiai was confused in his heart, he didn't want to make his wife suffer any more. In desperation, she sighed, turned around and took Gao Yang into her arms. Needless to say.

The drums beat at the third watch, and in the prison of the procuratorate, except for the slight noise made by the sneaking rats and insects, there was no other sound.

Xie Yaohuan was lying on the dilapidated wooden bed, looking at the waning moon through the narrow window on the wall, Fang Yiai's silent words "wait for me to save you" echoed in her ears.

"Fang Jun took the risk to come to the procuratorate to treat me. Could it be that he has feelings for me?"

"He doesn't know my real identity. I'm afraid I've always been that mean, rigid little eunuch with a paralyzed face in his heart?"

Xie Yaohuan was full of thoughts in her heart. After wandering around in the city of vain death, the feelings in her heart were no longer fettered, and spread rapidly without sound. It was only at this time that the lady officer Xie really dared to face the feelings in her heart.

Although most of Xie Yaohuan's internal injuries have healed after being nourished by Hunyuan Zhenqi, the wounds caused by the welts and sticks on her body can only be healed by time. Although the pain is unbearable all over her body, Xie Yaohuan is extremely at ease in her heart , "In four days it will be the imperial examination, I hope Fang Jun can turn the danger into good fortune"

This night, whether it is for Fang Jun and his wife, Xie Zhongju, Cai Shaobing, or even Xiangcheng who is worried about Fang Lang, it is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the early morning, His Highness Han Yuan of Daming Palace, a strange official with a white cloth on his hands and a pale complexion, was particularly eye-catching among Wen Banchen.

"Who is this? Why are his hands still wrapped in a white cloth? Seeing that his face is as white as paper, it seems to be a symptom of excessive blood loss."

"I haven't seen it before. Could this person be an official transferred to Beijing? Why don't I remember that there is such a number one person among Wen Banchen?"

The official pointed out by his colleagues was none other than Cai Shaobing who was almost killed by Fang Yiai last night.

After Changsun Wuji learned of Cai Shaobing's assassination last night, he went to Cai's mansion to visit this low-ranking subordinate in person. It wasn't that he had any friendship with Cai Shaobing. to go.

Talking with Cai Shaobing, although Changsun Wuji did not get Xie Zhongju's confession as he wished, he heard a piece of news that made him even more excited. The person who assassinated Cai Shaobing last night was very likely to be at the top of the civilian list!

Changsun Wuji and Cai Shaobing deliberated overnight, and after a lengthy conversation, the two agreed that the "little doctor" last night was dressed up by He Zudao. The court officials were able to link him with Xiao Rui's death, and it was precisely because of this reason that Changsun Wuji made his own claim and asked Cai Shaobing to go to the court with him, and was going to participate in the court meeting. What's the point?" a book.

As the Jingyang bell rang, all civil and military officials stepped into the Hanyuan Hall. After bowing and paying homage, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon clothes, also found Cai Shaobing who was dressed strangely.

Li Shimin stroked his beard and groaned, curiously asked: "Who is the Aiqing who hurt the upper hall in the class?"

It was Cai Shaobing's first visit to the Daming Palace, and when he heard Li Shimin's question, he was very excited. He walked out of the writing class slowly with a wat board in his hand, bowed and said, "Cai Shaobing, the seventh-rank clerk of the Chenchayuan."

Knowing Cai Shaobing's official rank, everyone discussed a lot, but Du Ruhui and Ma Tuesday frowned, as if they had something on their minds.

Seeing Cai Shaobing go to the palace with wounds this morning, the two immediately guessed that Fang Yiai reported the whole story of the assassination of Cai Shaobing for Xie Zhong's revenge. A "torture subordinate", so that he left a curse.

"Since the son-in-law assassinated Cai Shaobing, why didn't he kill him? Could it be that the old wound in the martial arts field has recurred?"

"Nephew Yiai has gone through a lot of tempering, but he is still so muddled in how to do things. Hey, he is young and energetic after all!"

While Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou sighed secretly, they immediately thought of an excuse to defend "He Zudao".

Tang Taizong saw that Cai Shaobing, a subordinate official of the seventh rank, was injured and went to the palace, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked curiously: "Why did Cai Aiqing go to the palace this time? How did you get this injury?"

Cai Shaobing heard Li Shimin's question, bowed slightly, and then slowly said what he had discussed with Changsun Wuji long ago.

"Long live the report, my minister was sent by Prime Minister Sun to assist in the trial. In the case of the sudden death of Concubine Xiao, the criminal Xie Zhongju who was interrogated last night had some clues. On the way home, he was met by a gangster to assassinate him."

During Cai Shaobing's rehearsal, he quietly concealed Xie Zhongju's death from serious injuries for a while, and instead said what he had already confessed, in order to attract the attention of Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

When Li Shimin learned that Xiao Rui's death had progressed, his mind was really aroused, "Oh? What confession did the criminal have? What does this have to do with your being assassinated?"

"Xie Zhongju confessed last night that there was another mastermind in this matter. The humble official was a small official. He wanted to wait until dawn to ask the two chief judges to hear this statement. Who would have thought that on the way back, he encountered a masked gangster, who blocked the humble minister. I went to the alley to silence, and during the conversation, I once said something about reporting revenge for Xie Zhong."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall in Hanyuan Hall was horrified, thinking of Xie Zhongju's identity as a schoolboy accompanying him, everyone unanimously linked the masked villain with "He Zudao".

"Reporting revenge for Xie Zhong? Masked? I remember Prime Minister Fang was seriously ill at the time. He Zudao also went to Fangfu to see a doctor for his teacher with his mask covered, right?"

"There used to be such a thing, but according to He Zudao's skill, how could the assassination fail."

"Fart! Did you see it with your own eyes? Did you see He Zudao killing someone with a knife? Turkic warriors are no match for him. If He Zudao really intends to kill someone, just such a seventh-rank document can escape from his hands? "

All of a sudden, all the ministers in the court who had nothing to do with Fang Yiai guessed that Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and other ministers who had a close relationship with Fang Yiai tried their best to avoid suspicion. It turned into a vegetable market.

Li Shimin was disturbed by the noise from the ministers, and he frowned and shouted displeasedly: "Okay! What is this place? There's such a fuss!"

As soon as Tang Taizong's reprimanding words came out, he managed to suppress everyone's arguments, but they didn't make a sound, but no one could stop everyone's flying thoughts.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin looked at His Highness' civil and military officials, and seeing everyone's eyes flickering, he immediately thought about the impact of this matter in his mind.

"The clerk of the Procuratorate on the streets of Chang'an was almost killed. If this matter is not dealt with strictly, I am afraid it will cause panic, even Xiao Yu can't explain it anywhere!"

Li Shimin weighed the pros and cons, frowned and asked Cai Shaobing: "Cai Aiqing, did you see the face of that villain last night?"

"Long live Qi, the person who assassinated the minister last night wore a white gauze face, and the moonlight was dim and the minister did not see clearly the appearance of that person."

"Oh? Then did he say anything else?"

Seeing that this matter attracted Li Shimin's attention, Cai Shaobing glanced at Changsun Wuji from the corner of his eye, and after getting his consent, he turned to say: "I dare not lie to Long Live, the person who assassinated my minister last night is actually a wanderer." Fang Langzhong, and he was led by Ma Yushi into the prison of the procuratorate to treat Xie Zhongju!"

When Cai Shaobing spoke, Li Shimin's face changed drastically, and there was an uproar in the Hanyuan Palace again. Ma Zhou and Du Ruhui's faces were ashen. Obviously, they didn't expect Cai Shaobing to use this moment to attack him.

"You Fang Langzhong? Was Ma Zhou led into the procuratorate?" Li Shimin turned his eyes to Ma Zhou and asked coldly, "Ma Aiqing, is what Cai Shaobing said true?"

Ma Zhou walked out of the writing class, nodded and replied with a wat board in his hand, "Long live, that Youfang Langzhong was indeed led by a humble official into the Procuratorate to treat Xie Zhongju."

After finishing speaking, Ma Zhou was afraid that Cai Shaobing would continue to add embellishments, and then added: "Cai Shaobing was executed privately last night, and the criminal was seriously injured and died. In desperation, this minister brought the doctor into the procuratorate to diagnose the criminal."

But what Ma Zhouwan didn't expect was that his reply, which was intended to clarify the relationship, found a lot of flaws for Cai Shaobing.

"Long live, that You Fang Langzhong was only in his 20s, and he didn't use stone tools when he entered the prison. He rescued the prisoner with just one hand. Apart from what is not enough in Chang'an City, I am afraid that there is no one else. feasible!"

Hearing Cai Shaobing's words, Li Shimin almost stood up from the dragon chair, "What! You can save a criminal with just one hand without using a medicine stone? Could it be that the assassin last night is really worthless!"
