Chapter 454 Bait and Fish

In the palace of Baima Mountain, there were sounds of crying and howling, and countless concubines were piled up anxiously outside the bedroom, chatting and crying, but were scolded by the old butler and ran back crying.

The princess stood anxiously outside the house, turning Buddhist beads, tears slid silently

More than a dozen old doctors have arrived here. Almost all of them have arrived at the royal palace, sweating profusely, scolding the doctor who has worked with him to get all kinds of objects.

The bedroom was confused with the smell of medicine and blood, and pots of blood were taken out and sent in.

King Kang took off his python robe, and there were more than a dozen wounds on his body, seven feather arrows were inserted into his golden crown, and white bones were visible in one hole on his scalp.

After being seriously injured, King Kang's eyes were still open, staring at the light outside, recovering a little, and then gritted his teeth and spoke:

"Write a letter to the capital......I am leading troops without authorization to meet a mistress... Let the emperor... don't worry..."

Spit out intermittent words.

Several old imperial doctors were so scared that they were scattered and hurriedly dissuaded King Kang not to speak.

When the princess heard the sound, she finally cried out. She often heard Zhao Huai sending letters to tell all kinds of achievements. King Kang is very martial and has long been itchy. His nephew Song Yang also said some envious words around her every day. She thought she was just going out and letting the Hujie army fight the bandits. Just like the way she used to suppress bandits, the princess did not stop it. She thought that there were three thousand guards and tens of thousands of imperial guards around her, and she could not make any mistakes.

However, unexpectedly, three thousand people went out and only one of them came back. Even her beloved nephew died under the knife of the bandits. The Xiang army carried back the corpse and lost its head...

"Woo--"

The princess could no longer suppress her, so she hurriedly covered her mouth, fearing that she would disturb King Kang. Even if she came back alive, the injuries on her body would be shocking. If she hadn't exercised since childhood, she would have died long ago.

Thinking of Cao Hua alone, walking out of the sea of ​​blood with King Kang on his back, both of them were covered with arrows, and the blood flowed continuously, and there was almost no human form.

He once complained many times that King Kang had found such a son-in-law and treated Luo'er badly. Now it seems that the royal family had treated others badly. If King Kang had not been defeated by Tong Guan's trick, how could he have implicated Cao Hua, who had already been named a marquis.

As the person next to King Kang's pillow, the princess guessed who was fighting behind the scenes when she heard that King Kang was in trouble. She was a Tong Guan, who had such a courage to murder the title of king in Jiangnan.

The most ruthless one is the imperial family.

Cao Hua arrived quickly and was able to save King Kang, but the princess was only grateful.

Cao Hua must have seen the situation at that time.

If you watch coldly, you can protect yourself if you don’t see it.

To be more radical, the bandit army and the Xiang army did not kill King Kang. As long as he raised his hand to promote this, he would definitely become the number one person under the emperor in the future. Tong Guan could only bow his head respectfully in front of him.

But Cao Hua saved King Kang, and with this rescue, he also brought himself in.

In the imperial family, brothers are killed, and this kind of imperial family scandal cannot be spread. For the sake of the emperor's reputation, no one cannot die.

Why Cao Hua killed Tong Guan at the first time? Others didn’t know the reason, but the princess knew.

Tong Guan is responsible for handling this matter. Since there is a mistake, he has to silence the insider no matter what, and he has to finish the matter.

As long as things are done, the emperor will cover up the big things, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future. If Cao Hua and King Kang are alive, if the matter is spread, Tong Guan will die without a place to bury him.

Cao Hua killed Tong Guan and was willing to be sentenced to death and went to prison, which was also a helpless move.

The families of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion are all in the capital. If they are not punished and are waiting for disposal, the princess knows more than anyone else.

King Kang crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and his own situation was still extremely dangerous.

Since he survived, he would have completely broken up with his brother in the capital. He might have been worried about his unfaithful intentions before, but now he doesn't have to guess. The knife has been unsheathed, and no matter whether he has unfaithful intentions or not, it is impossible to take it back.

What else can King Kang do besides sending a letter to the capital and expressing his attitude?

--------

The other side.

In the wing room on the side of the palace, Zhao Fei sat on the bed, crying heartbrokenly, grabbed Chen Yu's arm without any hesitation, and couldn't hear what he said, and his body couldn't help trembling.

Zhao Fei didn't know the storm behind it, but the facts in front of him were already heavy enough. Tong Guan was in charge of the imperial guards against the Liao, Jin and Western Xia, and the most powerful military officer of the Song Dynasty. If the emperor wanted to kill him, he had to consider whether Cao Hua was a marquis or an official from the inner court. He was really only the eighth rank. If he killed Tong Guan with one sword, how could he just casually expose him?

Even if Tong Guan intends to murder King Kang, it is not Cao Hua's turn to kill him. At least the court officials must investigate carefully before they can make a conclusion. Cao Hua was angry and impulsively killed the commander of the army who was suppressing the rebellion. Even if it was understandable, it would be a serious crime. It would be considered a blessing from the emperor to be a commoner. If the rebellion fails, it would be a lighter punishment.

Chen Yu also had a pale face and said tremblingly: "It's okay... The person surnamed Cao is so powerful... It must be okay... It's okay... It's okay for him to kill the son of the Taiwei, but just kill the Taifu..."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu stopped and was also scared to tears: "Why would a person named Cao be so smart, how could he cause such a big deal? If he was chopped off his head by the Lord, what would Xiao Su do..."

Zhao Fei was trembling all the time, hugging Chen Yu tightly, crying like tears, wanting to find someone to ask for something, but for such a big thing, there is no one in the world who can ask for something.

--------

In the cell of Hangzhou City Prison, several doctors walked back and forth, and the pungent smell of medicine filled the entire prison. All the prisoners were driven out. Even the original yamen runners and prison guards were honestly rolling outside and dared not get close.

The Heiyu Guard, who rushed back from Muzhou overnight, was guarding every corner of the prison with a heavy face, and even a little scared. Li Bairen, who had always been careless, frowned and rubbed the back of the knife and silently said.

The cell was clean and brightly lit. Cao Hua sat cross-legged on the bed, his expression neither happy nor sad, but just looking at the candlelight on the table.

The blood-stained white robe took off, and the doctor carefully took out the arrows on his shoulders, bandaged the wounds everywhere, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't even dare to make a sound.

Han'er's face turned pale, she stood in front of her and watched anxiously. After enduring for a long time, she still spoke softly:

"Young Master wants to kill Tong Guan, you can do something secretly and kill it openly, but how can you end up..."

Cao Hua breathed smoothly and was silent for a long time: "Tong Guan knew that I was back, so he had no chance."

Han'er was puzzled and wanted to ask again, but stopped. After thinking:

"The emperor will definitely be furious, and the court officials will definitely take the blame. Now...ah..."

Han'er said here, and finally she could shake her head.

Cao Hua's position is destined to be unable to form a clique. He has no help in the court, and everything depends on the trust of the emperor. At any time, he can only rely on himself. As long as he takes a wrong step, he will be doomed and he will not be able to find anyone who can help say even a good thing...

--------

The storm that came so strangely swept across Hangzhou in an instant, and everyone was speculating and thinking, and everyone was in danger.

And in a place that no one noticed, the alley behind Huansha Street, in the uninhabited courtyard.

The house is closed.

In the middle of the yard with dry leaves, the sedan chair still maintained the posture of Mrs. Jing throwing it in.

Blood flowed far from the fallen leaves. A maid whose slapped prints on her face had not yet subsided, held the legs of the sedan chairmen and threw the two sedan chairmen into the well.

The same was true for Mrs. Zhang's body, and was carried to the wellhead by the little maid.
