[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

Chapter 348

"What did you say?" Kangxi sat up from the dragon chair with shock and anger.

"Go back to Long live Lord, Prince Yong encountered water bandits on the road, was seriously injured, and is now unconscious." Shocked by Kangxi's aura, Liang Jiugong, who was used to serving him, unconsciously bent his waist even lower, but had to continue to fight hard. Report the situation with a scalp.It's not good to offend anyone at this moment. Why did you want to offend Prince Yong? Isn't this a rush to seek death?Liang Jiugong couldn't believe that the sudden appearance of water bandits was not tricky.

"Where is Yinzhen now?" Kangxi's voice was filled with repressed anger, and he knew in his heart that the so-called water bandits were not that simple.

"Prince Yong was injured in Nanjing Mansion, and now he is temporarily transferred to Yangzhou Mansion to recuperate."

Kangxi was a little relieved, he was fine in Yangzhou Mansion, Lin Ruhai happened to be in Yangzhou, at least he could take care of him, so he didn't have to worry too much about another accident.

"Have you ever found out the origin of the water bandit?" Kangxi guessed that all the traces might have been wiped out long ago, but he still couldn't help asking. In fact, he could guess who it was without checking. Thinking of this, Kangxi sneered in his heart , I added two more points of disappointment, and felt more and more that my decision was right.

"No one was left alive."

Kangxi paced and meditated, and made a decree: "Order Fourteen to lead people to thoroughly investigate this matter, and put an end to the banditry. I want to see who is so bold as to hurt the prince." You also have to make a gesture to intimidate one or two, otherwise if you dare to murder the prince today, you should force the palace tomorrow?Of course, it also meant to ask Shisi to bring some troops to escort Yinzhen back to Beijing.

Liang Jiugong bowed in response, turned around and prepared to step down and deliver the decree.

"and many more."

"What else does Long Live have to say?"

"Is the imperial concubine still ill these two days?"

"Your Majesty, this is the root cause of the disease left by the paddock, and the imperial physician has no solution but to try to take care of it." Liang Jiugong's tone was also worried.

"It's me who made her suffer. Don't tell her the fourth child in advance. Fourteenth will say that I sent him out on business." Kangxi rubbed his brows.Ever since the Mulan paddock was attacked, Jiang Yingrong would always be sick for a few days whenever there was a rainy day or a sudden change in the weather. Not bad, it's normal to leave some root causes.Of course, this was done on purpose by Jiang Yingrong, and some scars can only play their due role if they are re-exposed from time to time.

"The slave obeys the order."

In Yangzhou Chenglin Mansion, the doctor was changing Yinzhen's medicine when he saw a four to five inch long knife wound across his chest. The wound was grim, but luckily it was not deep, it just looked a little scary.Yinzhen's complexion is slightly pale, but because he has been traveling all the year round, his complexion is darker than before, his sickness is not obvious, and his mental head looks good. It doesn't seem to be as serious as Liang Jiugong reported. The well-trained "Water Bandits" looked gloomy and frowned slightly.

"My lord, Mr. Lin is here."

Yinzhen's medicine has been changed, and under Su Peisheng's service, he only put on his inner jacket, without an overshirt, and said with a relaxed expression, "Master Lin, please come in."

Before Lin Ruhai entered the door to greet him, Yinzhen said, "Master Lin, please sit down."

"Thank you, my lord." Since Yinzhen entered the gate of the Lin Mansion, he has not put on the prince's pose, and treated Lin Ruhai very courteously.My daughter is someone else's side Fujin, and she can be called a half-son-in-law even if she has the courage. Since she intends to get close, Lin Ruhai is naturally good-hearted, eight parts of a courtier, two parts of an old father-in-law, and she is very good at it.

"How is the prince hurt?" Lin Ruhai asked with concern, if something happened, his daughter would be lost, and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but get angry at the people behind her.So after the wounded Yinzhen knocked on the door of the Lin Mansion, the two tacitly declared that Yinzhen was seriously injured and unconscious, and that the doctors they invited were all trusted by Lin Ruhai and would not leak the news.

"It's nothing serious, but this time there is Lord Laurin."

"My lord, you are welcome." Lin Ruhai was relieved, hesitated for a moment and continued: "The south of the Yangtze River has always been stable. Although there are water bandits, they are not rampant. Most of them rob property and will not hurt their lives. The lord's attack this time may have other hidden reasons. "Although Lin Ruhai is far away in Yangzhou, he knows a lot about the current situation of the court, especially seeing that Yinzhen has just spent a lot of effort to complete a major event, and he has received a reward before he has time to enter Beijing. , This kind of thing happened halfway. Lin Ruhai probably thought that Yinzhen was planning something behind the scenes, but he couldn't help reminding him, mainly because he wanted to strengthen his vigilance in the future, and he couldn't give the people behind the scenes any more trouble. Can take advantage of this opportunity.

"Hong Xiao, Hong Jing has reached the age of enlightenment. I have been away for the past two years, and I am waiting to return to Beijing to teach myself. Naturally, I have to spare my life." Thinking of his two healthy sons, Yinzhen's always cold and solemn body unexpectedly He also became softer, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that Mr. Lin is not in the capital, otherwise you, my grandfather, should have taught him in person." Tan Hualang was born, and it is more than enough to teach two children to adulthood. Others want Tan Hua Lang Jiao might not have this opportunity yet.

Talking about the two grandsons who had only met once, Lin Ruhai smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Thanks to the lord for not giving up, there will be opportunities in the future, but it's a pity that Fujia will have grown up by then." Lin Ruhai can only enter Only when I was reporting to work in Beijing did I have a quick meeting. Although Fujia met three times in total, Lin Ruhai loved this healthy, lively and eccentric granddaughter very much. Seeing Fujia reminded him of Daiyu when he was a child. How much he wished that Daiyu, who was sick and weak, could run and dance, and be happy every day.It's a pity that God didn't fulfill his wishes, but God treated him well. His Yu'er finally grew into a healthy appearance, and gave birth to three healthy and lovely children. Although he entered the royal family, he was still a young lady, but the prince looks like this It's okay for Yu'er, Lin Ruhai can only comfort himself that his Yu'er is a lucky one, and it won't be much worse in the future.

"Fujia has been lively since she was a child, and I'm afraid she can't sit still." When mentioning his beloved daughter, Yinzhen couldn't help shaking his head, as if he couldn't do anything about her. He hasn't been in the capital for the past two years, so he doesn't know what he has become , when he was a child, he vowed to be Batulu, and Yinzhen always felt that he would have a powerful daughter.

Seeing Yinzhen's look of being helpless with Fujia, his eyes unconsciously revealing the pampering that belongs to his father alone, Lin Ruhai is in a good mood, which shows that his daughter and grandson are doing well.Even so, he, Lin Ruhai, had to make a last resort for his daughter and grandson. In the middle of the game, if he didn't fight, he would die. Naturally, Lin Ruhai could watch his family die.

"It's just that Mr. Lau Lin has worked hard in Yangzhou for a few years, and the Jiangnan Salt Administration still needs you to continue to take care of it." This is a promise in disguise. When the time comes, Lin Ruhai can return to Beijing to take up the post.

"Working for the emperor, how hard it is!" Lin Ruhai and Yinzhen looked at each other, they knew each other that they were not doing things for the "emperor", but one was for the present and the other was for the future.

Fourteen arrived very quickly with his troops. He first sent a group of people to Yangzhou to protect Yinzhen, and then he personally took the troops to Nanjing to investigate the incident of Yinzhen's attack. Naturally, nothing of value could be found after checking. There are no clues, but the Jiangnan water bandits centered on Nanjing Mansion were looted by Fourteen, and there were not even a trace of the three or two kittens that were left.

After finishing the errands, Shisi rushed to Yangzhou Mansion to meet with Yinzhen. Although the two brothers were a little awkward when they got along with each other in private, it was by no means the usual tit-for-tat situation. After seeing Yinzhen's complexion was not good, he also lost weight Quite a few, but at least he was awake, and the boredom and anxiety in Shisi's heart dissipated, and his tense nerves finally relaxed, but the words he said were still somewhat unpleasant:

"The people around you are too weak. They can't beat a few water bandits, and you were injured. Er Niang is sick. Wouldn't it worry her again if you go back like this?" Yinzhen said in his tone. Didn't protect myself from complaints.

After constant tempering, Yinzhen finally learned to listen to the irony. Seeing his younger brother's awkward concern, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Please trouble the fourteenth brother to make a special trip, and the fourth brother will plead guilty to Er Niang when he returns."

Fourteen was almost blinded by the smile at the corner of Yinzhen's mouth. This man has taken the wrong medicine, and I haven't heard that he hurt his head. What kind of trouble did he make today? His behavior is the same as forgiving a younger brother who makes trouble for no reason. Seeing Shisi's toothache, I couldn't help but explode: "Who wants you to thank me? I came here on the order of Emperor Ama. Hurry up and recover from your injuries. Don't come to the capital and still look sick." After finishing speaking, she fled He also seemed to leave.

It is inappropriate to delay outside. Seeing that Yinzhen's injury is getting better, the two brothers are ready to return to the capital. The journey is relatively peaceful, but the two of them are relieved too early. The night before entering the capital, the secret person can't help it Do it again.This time the people were mixed with the people in the fourteenth belt, and they were caught off guard by a sudden attack. Fortunately, the fourteenth was alert and lived next to Yinzhen along the way. Si woke up, grabbed the sword on the bedside and went to help, just entered the door and saw that Yinzhen was about to be slashed with a knife, Fourteen's eyes were fixed, and the sword in his hand was struggling to move forward With one throw, it hit the villain's chest, and the man who was about to commit the crime widened his eyes and fell to the ground.

Fourteen rushed in one by one, turned the man over, breathed his breath, and when he was dead, he couldn't help but kicked two feet, and said angrily, "It's really cheap for you." Just taking advantage of Yinzhen's inattention, he hit him with one blow. It seems that he was prepared for no return from the beginning, such a loyal soldier.

Seeing that Yinzhen had been helped up by the people who heard the news, Shisi held back and asked, "Are you injured?"

Yinzhen shook his head, but blood was faintly oozing through the white underwear on his chest, probably the wound was open.

Fourteen on the opposite side noticed it first, and pointed to Yinzhen's chest, "The wound is open, does it matter?"

Yinzhen looked down and realized, "No problem."

"Then go to Beijing overnight after treating the wound. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"Everything is arranged by the fourteenth brother." At this time, Yinzhen didn't know if it was because of his injury and weakness, but he seemed to listen to you, which made the fourteenth quite uncomfortable.

"I'll go change first." Fourteen waved his hand, but stopped at the door with his back turned, "You don't doubt me?"

"I only know that my fourteenth brother saved my life just now." Yinzhen spoke very firmly, but there was a wry smile on the fourteenth face with his back turned to him, and he muttered:

"Who told you to be my elder brother." Regardless of whether Yinzhen heard it or not, he strode away.

Yinzhen smiled, it seems that tonight's bet was right!
