Chapter 958 Liangshan Temple (3)
The six children in the room didn't look thin, but their spirit was poor.
When the six children saw so many people walking in, four of them shrank under the quilt, and one coughed hard, while the other looked at the crowd with astonishment.
Qi Hao swept the six people, and shrunk the four people under the quilt. The younger ones were only seven or eight years old. The child who had been coughing was about ten years old, and the other one looked twelve or thirteen years old.
Yi Kun frowned and said, "Master Shi, if you get sick, it won't get better, let's leave!" With such a severe cough, who knows if it might be tuberculosis.
Qi Hao, as if he had never heard of it, scanned the six people and said to Yu Zhi, "Arrest them all for me."
After a pause, he said to Yi Kun, "Go and arrest a few children in the yard next door."
Master Wuchen's face changed greatly: "Master Shizi, they are just children, don't you even let these children go?"
No wonder Wuchen thought so. Last night, Chu Xingyun killed three monks in the temple, saying that these people were the work of the imperial court. If they also say that these children are also meticulous, then they will be in trouble.
Although the guards who came in didn't know why, but they had very high military literacy, and when they heard Qi Hao's words, they lifted their feet and stepped onto the bed, preparing to arrest the six children.
Yi Kun glared at Master Wuchen fiercely, and said, "You dare to be disrespectful to the prince, and you are impatient to live."
The child who coughed so badly was lifted out by the guards and coughed louder in fright. It sounded particularly scary.
Master Wuchen was so angry that his face turned green: "Sir, you can't kill Wu indiscriminately..."
Before Gu Zi could say anything, he saw the curious-looking boy suddenly burst into flames. He pointed a matchbox-sized box in his right hand at Qi Hao and pressed it twice, and then inserted the dagger in his left hand into the one close to him. The guard's chest.
Although the guard was good at martial arts, he still lost his vigilance in the face of a twelve-year-old boy. After being stabbed, he immediately fell on the bed.
Because it was the cough that brought them here, Qi Hao was on guard against the child who had been coughing, but he didn't expect to make a mistake.
Avoiding the first three silver needles, the second wave was inevitable, and Qi Hao could only block it with his left hand. With three silver needles on his arm, Qi Hao took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and chopped off his left arm without thinking about it.
Lu Bai cried out: "Master Shizi..."
The boy's pupils shrank: "You are not the Prince of Ming." He cut off his arm without any hesitation. It was absolutely impossible to do it without rigorous training.
As soon as these words fell, the boy felt a pain in his neck. He touched his neck with his hand, and the young man with blood on his hands knew that he had been tricked. Every time he took out a mission, he was ready to die, but he successfully completed every mission and went back unscathed. This time, he couldn't escape.
Looking at Yu Zhi, the young man didn't hold any resentment, but instead said with a smile, "You guys are amazing." After speaking, he fell on the bed.
Yu Zhi quickly put the soft sword in his hand back to his waist, and then took the medicine and sprinkled it on Qi Hao's wound. After a bottle of medicine was poured, the bleeding stopped.
Seeing that Lu Bai kept looking at Qi Hao, Yu Zhi said with a cold face: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go and see if there is a sedan chair? If not, just lift it yourself." Qi Hao was injured and couldn't ride a horse. Can be carried back.
With Yu Zhi and the eldest brother around, the Shiziye's affairs are beyond his heart. Lu Bai responded quickly, "I'll go right now."
Wuchen stood beside Qihao and was also splattered with blood. But this time it wasn't a matter of caring about clothes, Wuchen Amitabha said: "It's all because Lao Na didn't check for a while and was exploited by thieves. If the lord wants to kill him, he will kill Lao Na alone.
Also please don't implicate others. "
Qi Hao was too weak to speak at this meeting, glanced at Wuchen, and closed his eyes again.
Yu Zhi said: "Master, don't worry, the prince will not anger anyone."
After Yi Kun came in, he looked at the young man on the bed and said, "Is this the killer you tabooed?" Is this killer who made Yu Zhixuan's heart too young.
"He is disguised." After speaking, Yu Zhi said to Master Wuchen: "That child should have been killed by him, and the body must still be hidden in the temple. The master should send someone to look for it!" The temple is located on the mountain, Avoid people to dig a hole and bury the body, and no one finds it in a short time.
Yi Kun climbed onto the bed and rubbed the boy's face with his hands, rubbing off a layer of skin.
Yi Kun was horrified when he saw the killer's true face. The killer looked like he was in his thirties: "How did he do this?" The face can be faked, but what happened to his height.
Yu Zhi didn't answer: "Clean up this place, let's go back." It's been a day and a night, so it's time to go back, otherwise he won't worry.
Seeing that Yu Zhi was unwilling to answer, Yi Kun stopped asking questions. Anyway, he is not engaged in intelligence, and it is of no use to him to know this.
Because it took more time to lift Qi Hao down than when he came. Back at the place where I lived, it was already the beginning of Shen Shichu.
An hour later, Lu Bai replied, "Master Qin, please see him." When he said this, Lu Bai couldn't help but look at Qi Hao's left arm.
Qi Hao put down the book in his hand and said, "There's nothing to do, you can go down." Staring at him like this made him very uncomfortable.
Yu Zhi said with a cold face: "When I go back, I will tell the prince that the guards of the palace should also practice more." This Lu Bai's martial arts is good and loyal, but his response was too slow.
Lu Bai's face stiffened, and he hurried down. He himself is not afraid of training, but the other guards are different. At that time, those guys who are not willing to train more will know the truth and will not have to eat him raw.
When Qin Jiangsheng returned to the yamen from the outside, he heard that Qi Hao had lost one of his arms, which made his legs go weak. Seeing Qihao standing there intact, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Shizi, you're fine." After speaking, he picked up the tea on the side of the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Qi Haofo put his hands down and said, "Master Qin, sit down."
Qin Jiangsheng sat down and said, "Now it's said outside that Shizi was cut off by an assassin. Shizi, what's going on?" Butler Luo told him this. Butler Luo is his confidant, if he hadn't confirmed the news, he wouldn't have said this to him.
Brother Hua picked up the purple clay pot to refill the tea for Lord Qin, and then retreated behind Qi Hao.
Qi Hao didn't want to explain more, just said: "It's just a rumor, it shouldn't be taken as true." There is no need to say things like a substitute. As long as Qin Jiangsheng thinks about it more, he can think of it.
Qin Jiangsheng stopped asking questions, the process was not important, as long as Qihao was fine, he would be at ease.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "My father and mother sent a letter asking me to hurry back. I will be leaving for Haocheng tomorrow."
"So soon?" Although it was a bit unexpected, it was good news for him. Qi Hao never slept peacefully here, so he was afraid of what might happen.
Qi Hao chuckled lightly: "Master Qin wants me to go back?" Qin Jiangsheng doesn't say anything flattering and flattering when he does things, but he is very attractive to Qi Hao.
Qin Jiang's face froze, and he turned to a forced smile and said, "How could it be? The lower official wishes that the eldest son would stay longer."
"The mouth is not right." Qin Jiangsheng's ability is very good, but he is a little older, and he will definitely be an official when he takes power.
Qin Jiangsheng's face flushed red.
Seeing this, Qihao said, "I'm joking with you. I'll tell my mother what you've done for the people of Mianzhou." He was also in a good mood, so he made fun of Qin Jiangsheng.
A man who is about the same age as his grandson makes fun of himself, but he can't say anything, this taste is really sour. Qin Jiangsheng said: "This is the responsibility of the minister." It should be done well, but it should not be done well.
Qi Hao nodded slightly: "My mother often tells me a word to seek political affairs in her position. It's enough to be able to do her part." Now that his mother is in power and the officials are clean and clear, there are very few officials like this. However, there are many officials like the court.
After a long conversation, Qin Jiangsheng left.
Returning to the prefect's yamen, Butler Luo glanced at Qin Jiangsheng's expression and asked, "Master, is the Shizi all right?" If it was true that the Shizi had broken an arm, how could his own master be so relaxed.
A rare smile appeared on Qin Jiangsheng's face: "Nothing, he was reading a book when I saw Shizi."
After a pause, Qin Jiangsheng said, "Go and prepare some special products. Ming Shizi is going to return to Haocheng. You can deliver it at night." He couldn't afford to give away valuables, and Shizi had never seen any good things. Sending some special products is also a chat.
Butler Luo was full of questions, but he didn't ask any more. He wanted to know if he asked in private: "Don't worry, sir, this old slave will prepare now."
Not long after Qin Zhifu left, Qihao received another letter from Yuxi urging him to go back.
He handed over the letter to Yu Zhi, and said, "Mother's dream really works. If it wasn't for the design, I don't know what would happen?"
Yu Zhi snorted: "It's a pity that Ying Yi's arm is broken." Ying Yi, the stand-in, had been prepared long ago and had been trained for so long, otherwise Lu Bai would not have even discovered it.
Speaking of Ying Yi, Qi Hao said, "Whatever he wants, as long as he can do it, he will be satisfied."
Yu Zhi said, "He said he wanted an upright identity and then lived a peaceful life." A broken arm was not a bad thing for Ying Yi. At least, he won't have to hide in the dark in the future.
Qi Hao nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it!"
After talking about Yingyi, Qi Hao was a little curious about the killer: "The killer is so powerful, why is he only about ten years old?"
Yu Zhi replied with two words: "Yi Rong"
Qi Hao also knew a little bit about Yi Rong: "The face can be faked, but how can the height be faked? Did this person practice the bone-shrinking technique?" He still listened to what Brother Rui said. Brother Rui doesn't like to study, but likes to read some miscellaneous books.
"I guess this person is a dwarf." Seeing Qihao's puzzled expression, Yu Zhi said, "If he can shrink the bones, Yan Wushuang should send him to kill the prince and the princess." The person who became the prince or the princess was assassinated. The probability of success is still very high.
Qi Hao nodded and said, "You're right." Killing him would certainly make father and mother grief, but it wouldn't affect the overall situation. But the father or mother had an accident, but the foundation was shaken.
After a pause, Qi Hao asked, "Is the Bone Shrinking Technique really exists or is it fabricated?"
It was rare for Qi Hao to be so childish. Qi Hao smiled and said, "I don't know either, wait until I go back and ask the master."
Qi Hao felt very boring.
Because it was still early, Qi Hao began to grind ink to prepare for calligraphy. Usually at this time, he doesn't want anyone in the room, which will disturb him.
Yu Zhi backed out and stood at the door. Once there is a situation, he can rush in as soon as possible. Although it is said that the surrounding area is surrounded by guards, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Brother Hua walked up to Yu Zhi and said, "Uncle Yu, I want to ask you something. I don't know if I can?"
Yu Zhi nodded and said, "Follow me into the room and talk." Brother Hua must be talking about personal matters, and it is not suitable for people to come and go here.
After calling Yi Kun to replace him, Yu Zhi took Brother Hua to the next room. Yu Zhi sat on the chaise longue and said, "What do you want to ask, ask?" Following Qihao, Yu Zhi basically stood there. After a long time, it is also very tiring.
Brother Hua didn't hesitate and asked, "Does Uncle Yu know about the Niu family girl and the maid?" Seeing Yu Zhi nodding, Brother Hua said embarrassedly, "Is my second brother designed?"
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "No. Let's not talk about the girl from the Niu family. That maid is pregnant with your second brother and begged with your father to save the child." The matter of the girl from the Niu family can also be said to be a juvenile yearning. But when it comes to the maid, Brother Chang is extremely confused.
Brother Hua was silent.
Yu Zhi thought for a while and then said, "Your second brother later hired two first-class maids and two second-class maids."
It's reasonable to take one or two, and it is normal for Han Jiachang to marry and have physical needs when he is old. But taking four at a time is enough to show that Brother Chang is a good fisherman.
Brother Hua keeps himself clean and doesn't understand why Brother Chang is so obsessed with women.
Yu Zhi said, "Your second brother is confused and soft-hearted. Don't meddle in his affairs. If you take care of it, it won't be good."
Brother Hua said with a wry smile: "He is the elder brother, I am the younger brother, there is no reason for the younger brother to control the elder brother." If he wants to control it, it is also his father's control, which round gets him to control.
Yu Zhi sighed: "You can think like that." It was because Brother Hua was highly regarded by Oak Xi and Qi Hao that he deliberately said these words. The reason is that he is afraid that the affairs of the Han family will distract him in the future.
Qi Hao was very keen, looked at Hua Ge'er's expression, and asked, "What's on your mind? Tell me."
Brother Hua told about Brother Chang: "My mother wrote a letter asking me why my second brother hasn't gotten married yet? I don't know how to reply this way?" It was also a coincidence that the night before departure, Brother Hua Received a letter from Aunt Jia.
Qi Hao said lightly: "Don't hide this kind of thing, just tell it according to the facts." It's not good to hide this kind of thing, maybe there will be hidden dangers.
"Yes." Brother Hua didn't plan to hide it, but he was afraid that Aunt Jia would be sad when she found out. (To be continued)
