Chapter 430: Old Jitou comes to the door
Chapter 430 Old Season Head Comes to the Door
The emperor's deep eyes narrowed, and he nodded thoughtfully.
As soon as the emperor left, the imperial concubine immediately sat back on the high seat with a straight face, staring at the door of the main hall with a deep gaze, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
In the imperial study.
The emperor ordered someone to call Lao Jitou over, stared straight at him, and asked in a dignified voice, "I ask you, did the affairs of the Chen family have anything to do with the Wen family last night?"
Even though he was as calm and calm as the old Ji Tou, he was stunned for a while, and asked in a little surprise: "Why does the emperor ask this? When the minister was in Dizhou, he went to the Wen family in the name of the teacher, and it was too ordinary. Ordinary Zhuang households are at best better than others, and they are not even comparable to ordinary small families. How could they have such skills? There is something that the minister has to report to the emperor."
"What's the matter?" The emperor frowned, obviously he didn't want to hear bad news now.
Lao Ji Vung paused, clasped his fists and said, "The Wen family was attacked by assassins last night."
"What's the matter?" The emperor's eyes widened, and a majestic aura hit Lao Jitou.
The old Jitou replied more and more respectfully: "Just last night, after the showdown between Mrs. Wen and the noble concubine at the Fengxian Palace, she was afraid and asked the minister for help, saying that it was okay for her to have an accident, and I hoped that the minister could protect the Wen family. Women and children.
The minister thought that the Wen family now lives in Zhuangzi outside the city, which is remote and afraid of accidents, so he sent some people over. After the Feng family and Qi family and other families who were close to the Wen family knew about the past of Mrs. Wen, Some guards were also sent over. As a result, the assassin failed to succeed. The officials of the minister captured the leader of the assassin, and they tried it last night. "
With a bang, the emperor replayed the case, "Why did you report such a big thing now?"
Lao Jitou knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, because the Wen family was not injured, and the assassin leader was also caught, so I plan to report to you after the morning court, but I didn't expect you to go to the imperial concubine first. side."
The emperor snorted coldly, still out of breath, took a deep breath, and continued to ask: "But what useful things came out of the interrogation?"
The old Jitou said hesitantly: "The minister used the punishment, the other party only said that it was a lame old man who asked them to carry out the task, and the other side didn't know anything, but fortunately that person still breathed a sigh of relief, the minister still wanted to continue the trial, Let's see if there's more to come."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, frowned and stretched his brows a little, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Then you will have a good trial, and let me know if there is any progress. As for the Wen family, send more guards with high martial arts skills. In the past, for the sake of Wen Yuanliang's wholeheartedness for the court, I gave him a hundred taels of gold as a sign of appeasement, go and take it!"
"The minister obeys the order!" Old Jitou stepped back.
The emperor got up, walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the side of the Phoenix Immortal Hall with deep eyes, so he wanted to make trouble and assassinate himself? What are you hiding from me?
Lao Jitou left the palace and rode directly to the outer city.
The Wen family experienced the thrilling night last night. The women in the house were not sleeping peacefully. In addition, Wen Youcheng and Heping Shun were all evacuated. They couldn't see where Zhuangzi's hidden guard was hiding, and they became more and more uneasy.
Just before dawn, Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun brought their children to Chen Ningya's house. For some reason, they always felt that it was safer to stay with Chen Ningya.
After a while, Wen Yuanjing also came over.
Everyone was getting together to talk about what happened last night, when the housekeeper suddenly came to report, "Old Madam, someone is asking to see you outside."
"Who?" Chen Ningya asked suspiciously. Every time Wen Youcheng saw her, she was in a state of no one, and would not be so polite. Ping Shun was a secret guard, and it was even more impossible for him to come here so blatantly.
The housekeeper looked blank, "I don't know the little one, the other party only said his surname was Ji."
Chen Ningya had a question in her mind and said in a hurried tone, "Please come quickly."
Several women are peeping at each other, what is this sacred? How does it feel that since Chen Ningya's life experience was revealed, one person who haunts the family has outperformed the other extraordinary.
Zhuo Qianyu and Wen Yuanjing, who were shocked and numb, looked at each other.
Wen Yuanjing said, "Sister-in-law, you can play with the children at your mother's side first, and I'll come back when I go and have a look."
Zhuo Qianyu and Hu Yiyun nodded in unison, they were in a hurry at the moment, and they were completely uneasy about leaving the child alone, or it was better to stay honest.
Chen Ningya took a group of people to the main house in the front yard, just in time to see Lao Jitou standing in the yard looking at the surrounding environment.
She walked over slowly, blessed Fuli, "Master Ji."
Lao Jitou turned his head and asked with frowns: "Mrs Wen, it seems that there was a big fight here last night! The old lady was shocked."
Chen Ningya shook her head slightly, her face calm and calm, "It's all expected, nothing to be surprised."
"I admire and admire!" The old Jitou laughed and ordered the person behind him to present a small box, saying: "The emperor knows what happened in your house last night, this is the emperor's reward, keep it with peace of mind, in addition to these There is a car, which is given by your concubine Ling."
Chen Ningya just glanced at it and took it with kindness, "This is what I deserve, as for that carload of stuff."
Chen Ningya didn't continue talking, she just sneered twice, noncommittal.
Old Jitou did not force himself, he went into the room and sat down, and said slowly: "Last night, the father and son of the Chen family were assassinated. Old Chen Ge was stabbed in the chest with a sword and almost died. Chen Yangchun's right hand was chopped off, which was equivalent to his official career being cut off. Eighty percent of the entire Chen family guards died, and they were almost wiped out."
Chen Ningya looked surprised, but what she was shocked was that Pingshun attacked so hard, which greatly exceeded her expectations.
But the old Jitou thought she didn't know, and said faintly: "It can only be said that it was a coincidence, but this is a good thing for you, at least the Chen family has no energy to trouble you again, the emperor asked me to send someone to protect you, I The people who are here can also come here openly and aboveboard, and your safety will be guaranteed in the future."
Chen Ningya glanced at Wen Yuanjing out of the corner of the eye, and got up gratefully and blessed the blessing, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, I would take the liberty to ask, what is the official position of Mr. Ji?"
She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, and she had a rare chance today, and it would be really uncomfortable not to ask her.
Old Jitou took a deep look at Chen Ningya and wrote the word "dark" on the table with tea, Chen Ningya's pupils shrank, she was very surprised.
Seeing her dazed look, the old Jitou said amusingly: "I have a special status, so you don't have to worry about your safety anymore, and there will be no one who doesn't have long eyes to assassinate you in the future."
Chen Ningya took a lot of effort to keep herself calm, the corners of her mouth twitched, she wanted to thank Fuli without smiling, and expressed her gratitude again.
Lao Jitou comes and goes quickly.
As soon as the person left, Wen Yuanjing immediately became anxious and asked in a low voice, "Mother, who is he?"
Chen Ningya made a "shush" action.
Wen Yuanjing could only swallow a belly of doubts back into his stomach.
