Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 289

Lingba's bare wrist was constantly bleeding out.He shook his head with a miserable smile, and said with difficulty: "Trouble... two masters... send the brocade box to... OK...."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Ba's head immediately dropped.

The two monks sighed, and after reading a few sutras to Lingba, they walked forward with the brocade box.

"Brother, you and I were ordered to come to help Master Yang, passing through the White Horse Temple, do you want to meet the uncle?"

"Well, my uncle is old, and I haven't seen you for a long time. Since it's rare to come here, let's go see my uncle."

The two talked while walking, and inadvertently, the monk who was carrying the brocade box tripped over.

Only then did the two realize that there was a man lying under the thatch on the ground.

"There is still breath, I will carry him." The monk handed the brocade box to his junior brother, and carried the man on his back.

As soon as the two left, the two brothers, Ben Boerba and Baboerben, grabbed a doctor and ran over in a hurry.

But when the two arrived, they couldn't find Kang Xu's figure.

"It's over, do you think Brother Fan Tong was taken away by wolves?" Babo'er Ben squatted on the ground looking at the thatch, and said miserably.

"If Brother Fan Tong was really taken away by wolves, how could there be no traces on the ground?" Ben Bo Erba folded his hands on his chest, frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly said seriously: "Well, I think Brother Fan Tong was probably eaten by wolves on the spot. It fell off, so there is no trace of dragging."

"That's impossible! How could a wolf eat people on the spot?" Babo Erben retorted.

"Why can't wolves eat people on the spot? Otherwise, how could the Fan Tong brothers disappear without a trace?" Ben Boerba asked back.

"Wolves move at night, and it's raining heavily during the day, so how can wolves come out to look for food?" Babo'erben said in disbelief.

"Who said that wolves must be dispatched at night? If wolves are extremely hungry, why would they care about day and night? They must be extremely hungry to eat Brother Fan Tong!" Ben Boerba said confidently.

The Lang Zhong who was captured by the two people was a little bit dumbfounded, he said tremblingly: "Two heroes, according to what I see, the brother you mentioned should have been rescued by someone."

The two looked at him in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"

The doctor pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Look at the footprints here."

The two leaned over at the same time, looking at the footprints formed in the mud on the ground, Ben Boerba scratched his head and said, "This is our footprint."

The doctor shook his head and said, "No, this is definitely not the footprint of any of the three of us."

"You old man, don't talk nonsense. Besides the three of us, where else is there?" Ba Bo Erben also said.

"The old man is not talking nonsense. Look at the footprints, which are obviously made by bare feet. The three of us are all wearing shoes, how can we step on such footprints?" said the doctor.

Ben Boerba hurriedly skimmed off the water on the footprints with his hands, and sure enough, he found five finger marks on the footprints.

"Eh, so, Brother Fan Tong was really rescued? I don't know who saved him so kindly?" Ben Boerba scratched his hair bun and asked in surprise.

"No matter who it is, your friend's life should not be in danger." The doctor stood up holding an umbrella and said.

"Why?" Babo'erben seemed a little confused.

"According to what you said, that friend of yours was hunted down. If he was chased by the killer, the killer could kill him right here, so why take him away? Since the other party took him away, it means They already knew about your friend's physical condition, and they must have taken him away to save his life." The old man stroked his gray beard and said.

Now, the two of them suddenly realized.Then he became respectful towards the old doctor.

"I'm relieved when I say that. Do you think it was the Zuo envoy who rescued Brother Fan Tong?" Ben Boerba let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at Baboerba and asked.

Baboer Ben rolled his eyes and scolded: "You ask me, who should I ask? If you want to know if the Zuoshi saved him, let's go to the Zuoshi to find out."

Ben Boerba came to his senses immediately, he slapped his head and shouted: "You're right! Let's go to him and ask him for clarification."

After saying that, the two left the woods in a hurry, leaving the old man walking in the woods alone with an umbrella.

It was evening when Huangfu Kun returned to Luoyang with An Lushan.

In the main hall of the Luoyang Palace, Li Longji sat on the dragon chair with a face as heavy as water. The civil and military officials in the main hall were lined up on both sides, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.

All civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke, let alone what happened.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! I have betrayed Your Majesty's trust! I failed to protect Usumish Khan well, and I deserve to die for my sins! Woohoo~." An Lushan rushed into the main hall and knelt down in front In the middle, weeping at Li Longji.

The sudden change surprised all civil and military officials, and they all speculated about what happened.

"An Lushan, get up and speak. I heard that someone robbed and killed you, and specially ordered Huangfu Kun to protect you. Why did you come alone? Where is Usumish?" Li Longji asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, I'm damned! I dare not get up... Usumish Khan...he was killed!" An Lushan knelt on the ground and wailed loudly, crying heartbroken.

"What? Usumish was killed? What's going on?" Li Longji was furious. He slammed down the dragon case and stood up in surprise.

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned by the sudden news, and all turned their attention to Anlu Mountain.

An Lushan knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Return to Your Majesty, I escorted Usumish Khan to Luoyang, but was attacked and killed by thieves outside Luoyang City, and Usumish Khan was unfortunately killed. I also fought bloody battles." Afterwards, he managed to escape and survived.”

Li Longji saw that An Lushan's body was covered with blood, it was indeed after a bloody battle, so he nodded and said: "Aiqing has worked hard too, you go and wash off the blood on your body first, and I will ask you later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." An Lushan kowtowed heavily to Li Longji a few times, and then exited the hall under the leadership of the eunuch of the servant hall.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. The emperor didn't question him when such a big incident happened, but let him take a bath first. This is enough to show how important An Lushan is in the emperor's heart.

"Huangfu Kun, I ask you, is what An Lushan said true?" Li Longji asked Huangfu Kun.

Huangfu Kun said with some hesitation: "When I arrived at the deserted village, the battle was over. I don't know if those people were all killers in disguise, but Usumish Khan was indeed killed and his head was in a different place."
