Chapter 92: Chasing and Killing (Open Update)
"Master's wife, I also want to eat hot noodle soup." Di Renjie walked into the house with a smile.
"I don't have your share!" Gu Qing pushed Di Renjie away, "Go back to sleep quickly."
As Gu Qing said this, Wu Mei made two bowls of hot noodles for the two of them, and added some ginger to relieve the cold. Di Renjie went to bed after eating the noodles.
After eating noodles, Gu Qing also went back to sleep.
Wu Mei packed up the clothes her husband changed. Seeing the mud under the shoes was bloody. After thinking for a while, she put away her shoes as if nothing had happened.
"Madam, I'll do it." A palace maid stepped forward and said.
"No, I'll wash it." Wu Mei said.
After packing up everything, Wu Mei also slept on the bed and lay in Gu Qing's arms, "Did you kill someone today?"
"Yes." Gu Qing nodded tiredly.
Looking at this face, Wu Mei closed her eyes silently and fell asleep quietly.
It rained all night, and Changsun Chong did not sleep all night, and none of the killers sent came back, and the feeling of anxiety lingered in his heart.
Gu Qing got up early and took Di Renjie to Chang'an to work on duty. The two sat in a stall on the street for breakfast.
There was a fat monk opposite the stall who was also having breakfast. After he finished eating, he smiled at Gu Qing and left.
"You go to the yamen yourself after eating. I still have some things to do." Gu Qing also stood up after saying that.
Di Renjie nodded while eating.
Following the footsteps of the fat monk, Gu Qing came to the Bimo Shop and said, "What's the matter with me?"
"The informant heard from the palace." The fat monk whispered, "Dali Temple presents the old story of the two brothers of the Wu family back then, saying that you are the culprit, but there is no ironclad evidence for this matter, and the emperor did not make a decision."
"Did you hand it over to Dali Temple?" Gu Qing asked again, "Something is wrong."
"Indeed." The fat monk glanced around and said, "Before Dali Temple was presented, Changsun rushed to Dali Temple. Gu Qing, this Changsun was working on two-pronged approach, not only to want your family to be destroyed! You were imprisoned for more than half a year, but I didn't know before that, our manpower has been growing these days, and it was only yesterday that you had been in Dali Temple for half a year. The emperor kept checking your origins and searching outside the East China Sea."
If you want to say what Li Shimin fears the most, that is, his background, it turns out that Li Er not only investigates the two brothers of the Wu family, but also investigates himself. Because of his impoliteness in the Secretariat, he would let him be imprisoned in Dali Temple. At that time, Li Er started investigating himself with this reason.
Putting aside Li Er's suspicion, the Wu family's affairs have always been a thorn in his heart and Wu Mei.
"Monk." Gu Qing whispered, "I never want to see Changsun Chong in my life."
"What do you want us to do?" The monk was startled by Gu Qing's words. How brave was he to kill the eldest son of the current uncle.
"Let his family restless first." Gu Qing said and left.
...
When he returned to the government office, Gu Qing and Brother Qiang smiled and joked with their subordinates, everything was the same as usual.
Changsun Chong, who had not slept all night, pushed open the door and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a tattered Taoist robe smiling gloomyly. After the door was pushed open, he smiled and said to Changsun Chong, "Your life is not long, brother."
Bang!
Changsun Chong immediately closed the door, and retreated step by step and the uneasiness in his heart rose again.
Through the door, the Taoist priest's voice came from outside again, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door..."
The sounds are repeated, gradually moving away, and the cool breeze blows through my clothes. It is already summer, and today is particularly cold.
Is Gu Qing still alive after sitting in his house all day? Is he having questions in his heart, and when he was drunk, Changsun Chong fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up late at night, I supported my dizzy head, Changsun Chong vaguely heard a wailing sound at home and patted his face twice to restore his sanity.
When the door was pushed open, all the servants in the house were lying on the ground and rolling.
"What's wrong with you?" Changsun rushed forward and asked.
"There are assassins!" said the servant, "a large group of people broke in and broke our legs!"
The servant fell to the ground, and everyone had their legs broken, and the servant said, "Stable, stable..."
Stable? Changsun rushed to the stable at home. The bloody scene in front of him made him feel cold all over. All the horses in the house were cut off their heads, and more than ten horses were lying in a pool of blood.
Changsun Chong opened his bloody eyes and saw dozens of heads beside him so scared that his legs became weak and his butt sat on the ground and his body became cold. Aren’t these people the dead soldiers he sent out?
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, don't do bad things... Brother, you're not long..." The Taoist priest's words in the daytime were still lingering in his mind.
Leaving his home, Changsun Chong stumbled all the way to Changsun’s house on Zhuque Street, and patted the door hard, "I want to see my father!"
Late at night, Changsun Wuji was not asleep yet. When he saw his son, he looked at him panic, "What's wrong?"
"Father, it seems that the child has made a mistake." Changsun Chong told the story of the assassination of Gu Qing.
After listening to it, Changsun Wuji couldn't speak for a long time and did not blame Changsun Chong and said calmly, "Then Gu Qing is still alive. You didn't kill him. He also saw Qin Qiong today."
"Father, what should I do?" Changsun Chong was panicked.
"Don't tell anyone about this. Now that Gu Qing is holding our handle, it's hard to know whether he is holding a witness in his hand. If the assassination is exposed, we will lose. This mute loses first." Changsun Wuji whispered, "This Gu Qing has some tricks, and he really underestimates him."
"You go to Yumen Pass first. I go to Your Majesty to ask you to guard the border." Changsun Wuji thought, "The other party seems to be a ranger. You may have countless troubles after you stay in Chang'an. It's better to leave it and wipe your butt after you go!"
"I understand." Changsun nodded quickly.
"You go back and pack up your greetings." Changsun Wuji said worriedly.
Walking out of his father's home, Changsun Chong tightened his clothes and walked on the empty street. The curfew was restored. In the trance of the night, he saw seven or eight people standing on the street. When he walked in, he saw that the other party was holding knives in his hands and stopped quickly.
The other party moved his footsteps and came with a knife.
Changsun turned around and ran away, running all the way across Zhuque Street. The quiet night in Chang'an was only able to walk, and rushed to the vicinity of the palace.
There was a team of patrol officers and soldiers in front of him, and they grabbed the life-saving straw and shouted, "Help!"
Su Dingfang, the general of the Left Wu Guard, was surprised when he saw Changsun Chong, and then saw a figure in the darkness shouting: "Who is ahead!"
