Chapter 452 It was just an accident
“Damn it!”
With a bang, the door was pushed open and hit the wall, shaking the beams of the room. Ma Xu He walked into the room angrily and sat down, his face as gloomy as a piece of black iron.
Following that, Song Yu also walked in.
Although his expression was not good-looking, it was somewhat calmer than Ma Xu's rage. He just walked over and said, "Old Ma, don't be so angry."
"Can't I calm down? Am I unable to calm down?"
Ma Xu looked up at him and gritted his teeth: "That Dai Junliang kept talking about his previous defeat. If it hadn't been for him, How could I have been defeated so miserably? Now the Ministry of War has also sent people here, obviously to hold people responsible for the last war. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to make a contribution quickly, Can my head be saved?"
"Why are you anxious?"
Song Yu slowly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying, "Although the Ministry of War sent someone here. , but the eldest son is here, he won’t kill you.”
“Then why doesn’t he allow us to fight?”
"Isn't this, what happened just now? After all, he is his brother, how could he-"
At this point, Ma Xu's expression changed again.
The previous anger subsided at this time, replaced by a flash of panic. He turned to look at Song Yu and said, "No one will notice what happened just now, right?"
Song Yu immediately signaled him to be silent.
He stood up and walked to the door and looked outside. There was no one else around the house, and the guards were patrolling outside the courtyard wall. Then he closed the door with confidence and walked back to sit next to Ma Xu. He stepped down and whispered: "Be careful."
His appearance made Ma Xu feel even more uneasy.
Ma Xu said: "Just now, I noticed that the general's wife seems to have been staring at the two of us. Do you think she already knows something? If this matter is found out and the imperial official is murdered, then we can It’s all about——”
“What are you afraid of!”
Song Yu frowned and said impatiently: "We just took advantage of the chaos to take away the medicine containing Uncaria, and there is no evidence of it. There are also windows. They ordered them to be closed tightly. We just sealed the windows when they were not prepared. The same goes for the door. Moreover, the door and window were set on fire, and the evidence is long gone."
He gritted his teeth again.
"I just didn't expect that among the old and weak women in that room, there would be such a powerful girl."
"..."
"If I had known better, I should have put her first—— ”
Ma Xu also sighed deeply. This was indeed something they had never expected. Who would have thought that the cute and charming little girl next to the general’s wife could be so strong? skill.
It’s no wonder that he can follow the general’s wife to Fufeng.
He suddenly thought of something again and said with some worry: "Tell me, did the girl see anything when she came out? Did anyone see you?"
Song Yu said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you? My people left immediately after doing those things, and now they have already——"
" ..."
"Besides, at that time, the entire government office went to the front hall to greet the eldest son, and we all followed him there. She said herself that she didn't find anyone in the backyard before she rushed to the front hall. The hall collided with the eldest son, where did he see our people?"
"..."
"So, there is no human or physical evidence in this matter, what can they do?"
Hearing what he said, Ma Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "That's good."
He thought for a while and then said: "But, you said that the eldest young master -"
No words were said. After that, there was suddenly a loud noise outside, and both of them were so wary that they immediately shut their mouths. Song Yu walked over and opened the door in three steps and two steps at a time. It was dark outside, with only a little light outside the courtyard wall far away. The light was from the patrolling guards holding lanterns, and several people gathered together, seeming to be talking loudly.
But soon, the people dispersed.
Ma Xu raised his voice and asked: "What's going on?"
As soon as the guards heard his voice, they hurried into the yard and saluted the two people. One of them said: "Report to General Ma, Mr. Song, what happened just now It’s a soldier next to the general. He seems to have gotten lost and came here and is asking us for directions.”
< br>"The general's personal soldiers?"
Hearing this, Ma Xu immediately frowned: "Who is it?"
A few people looked at each other, and one of the guards said: "It seems to be That man named Nie Chong was said to be a bandit that the general captured when he passed through Wanggang Village.”
"Did he say anything else?"
"No, we showed him the way and he left."
Song Yu and Ma Xu looked at each other. After a moment of silence, Ma Xu waved his hand, and several guards retreated. The two returned to the room. Song Yu closed the door again. When he turned around, he saw Ma Xu saying nervously: "That Nie Chong, didn't you hear what we said?"
Although Song Yu was also very wary, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He got up and said: "They are so far apart, and we can't hear what they are saying when they are shouting there. What's more, we just closed the door, how could he hear it?"
“……”
"If you really heard this, you should have sneaked away. How could you take the initiative to ask people outside for directions." Hearing this, Ma Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right."
< br>
Song Yu smiled again and said: "Old Ma, you are still too nervous. God knows that you know this and I know it. As long as you don't tell it, no one will know."
< br>Ma Xu nodded.
In the silent night, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he looked up at Song Yu: "Then, tell me, eldest son-"
|
The same night, on the other side, is a little noisier.
A few guards hurriedly walked out of the night, with a burning smell on their bodies. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they bowed their hands to Yu Wensu and Shang Ruyi under the eaves: "Young Master, "General's wife."
Yuwen asked: "How?"
One of the leading guards said: "We went to find it according to what Madam and the Wuxue girl said. The box placed in the corner has been burned, and all the things inside have been burned. I haven’t seen any medicine mixed with Uncaria.”
Another said: "There are also doors and windows, which have also been burned down. There are no traces of nails."
"This-"
The lying man standing next to Shang Ruyi When Xue heard this, she frowned: "How can Can?"
Yin Changyue thought for a while and asked: "Well, Miss Wuxue, when you rushed out of the fire scene to find someone, did you see anyone suspicious around you?"
“……”
Wuxue hesitated for a while and could only shake his head.
She did not see anyone suspicious. It was because she didn't see anyone that she rushed into Yuwen Sui in a panic.
Yin Changyue said: "In this case-"
As he said that, he looked at Yu Wensu and Shang Ruyi carefully.
I saw two people standing under the eaves, with the lanterns above their heads shining on their equally bright eyes. After hearing those words, both pairs of eyes also flickered. In such a dark night , but showed some inexplicable tacit understanding.
Shang Ruyi had already raised his head and looked at Yuwen Sui: "Brother, what do you think?"
Yu Wensuo said calmly: "I just arrived and don't know much about the inside story. This matter, It’s up to you, brother and sister, to decide.”
Everyone’s eyes fell on Shang Ruyi.
She thought for a moment, then raised her head, with a faint smile in her eyes, and said, "If that's the case, then maybe it was just an accident."
“Young Madam?!”
Wuxue on the side looked at her with wide eyes. Although she knew she shouldn't interrupt at this time, she couldn't help but said: "But-"
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly and signaled her Silence, and then said: "I was in the fire scene before, and it was extremely critical. I They were dizzy from the thick smoke, and inevitably had some misconceptions. Since there were no drugs to induce coma, no one nailed the windows, and no one set fire around, there was no need to investigate this matter."< br>
Yin Changyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
You must know that he is the supervisor of the expedition and needs to be responsible for supervising all affairs in the army. If there is an attempt to murder the general and it almost succeeds, then he, the supervisor, will be punished. Accountable.
Now that it was an accident, although you will inevitably be held accountable when you go back, at least you don’t have to be so worried.
So he said: "Of course it is."
Although he breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Xian, Cheng Qiao and others standing beside the crowd could not help but frown.
But at this time, no one could say anything. Shang Ruyi had already said to Yin Changyue and Dai Junliang: "Although it was an accident, this kind of thing cannot happen again. From today on, please ask the military to specially mobilize A group of people came to protect the safety of the general, just around this courtyard. Without orders from me and my eldest brother, No one can get close without permission, and this group of people will be led by Shan Tonger, Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao in shifts."
After saying that, she looked at everyone: "How?"
< br>The people around her didn't expect that she could have such a clear mind and make such decisive decisions at this time, so they all nodded in agreement.
Good Tong'er immediately said: "It's all my fault today. It's because I went to eat - I will take them on patrol all night tonight, I won't eat!"
Looking at him, he felt guilty and confused. With an honest look, Shang Ruyi showed a faint smile on his face.
Nodding and saying: "Okay."
After saying that, she looked up at Yu Wensu next to her: "Brother, is there anything else you want to give me?"
"..."
Yu Wenzuo looked down at her, was silent for a long time, and shook his head: "No."
Shang Ruyi said: "In that case, the good boy will take charge tonight, and everyone else, please step back. There is no urgent need. Please don’t bother the general again.”
Hearing this, Yin Changyue and others did not dare to stay any longer. They hurriedly saluted and then left.
Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao also confessed and left the yard.
The two turned and walked out of the courtyard. Cheng Qiao looked back again, with some doubts in his eyes. He said softly: "Do you feel that something is wrong with the young lady?"
