Chapter 13 Aftercare

At the end of the battle, the people of Guoan Division put knives and guns on the necks of those who rose from the ground again and the injured people in gray, and then tied the latter tightly with ropes to prevent them from doing anything unfavorable. At this time, these people in gray have been defeated like roosters, and it is difficult to have any resistance. Such a clever assassination has failed. Why should they fight with the people of Guoan Division?

In the field, those who were most affected were the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. They have never been to the battlefield and have only chased prisoners near the left of the capital. They have never personally experienced such a bloody and cruel fight. The people of Guoansi are so powerful that they look at these people with three points of awe in their eyes.

Liu Kaiyang was also restless and recovered after a long time. It was not until then that he remembered a scene outside Lingzhou a few years ago. At that time, Xu Jinghong's people and horses were not as good as those horse thieves. He dared to take people to charge the enemy and killed hundreds of horse thieves all over the whole army. Today, with the advantage of military strength, it is naturally impossible to make mistakes. At this moment, he was glad that he did not rush his men to deal with Guoansi because of a momentary impulse. Fortunately, he was not obsessed and did something to seek his own death, and now he can at least leave safely.

After a little distraction, Liu Kaiyang reluctantly came to Xu Jinghong with a smile and arched his hand to him and said, "The fighting power of Guoan is really amazing, which is an eye-opener for subordinates and others. Now that the criminal has been handed over to Xu Dusi, I will say goodbye!"

"Why, Liu Langzhong is going to leave like this?" Xu Jinghong raised his eyebrows and asked as if pointing. At this time, he was stained with blood. There were enemies, Chu Lian'er, and his own, which looked particularly ferocious. This words made Liu Kaiyang afraid.

"What does this mean? Is there anything else you want to teach?" Hard work, Liu Kaiyang still asked.

Xu Jinghong played with the cylinder that had been sent in his hand and looked at the other party: "Can you tell me what's going on? How can a criminal escorted by your Ministry of Criminal Justice still have such a sharp hidden weapon on his body? You can't say that you don't know this, do you?

"This..." Liu Kaiyang's heart suddenly sank, and the other party obviously figured out something. But at this time, there was only one way to go, which was to deny it, so he immediately shook his head and said, "This subordinate really doesn't know. We were attacked by people in the same dress outside before. Maybe they took the opportunity to adjust their bags..."

"Is that right? Isn't this too strange? Under the guard of your Ministry of Criminal Justice, even if someone attacks, you can save at most a few people. How can you let one more person in unconsciously? After careful examination, they were able to confirm that the guy who just violently assassinated was not one of the criminals, so Xu Jinghong said so.

When Liu Kaiyang heard what he said, he was even more nervous and said for a long time, "What does Lord Du Si think? Do you think our people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice did something in it? If that's the case, when you were with the thieves just now, we should help them and won't ignore them.

Xu Jinghong laughed and said, "This is exactly where I want to ask Liu Langzhong. Why didn't your people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice help arrest the murderer just now? You and I are both court officials. Of course, we have to help in this situation, but you are just watching from the wall. Isn't this really unreasonable?

"I..." Liu Kaiyang was immediately speechless. He really didn't think of this layer when he made that decision just now, but now it has become a loophole for him. But he still said firmly, "We just can't get involved. After all, my people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice can only catch some ordinary thieves, but they don't have the ability to fight with such murderers. Maybe we will delay the brothers of the National Security Division from fighting with the murderers.

"Is that right? It seems that Liu Langzhong did this for our sake. Xu Jinghong looked at him with a smile, and then said, "Actually, what I said is just speculation and one-sided words. I have a way to confirm all this. I don't know if Lord Liu dares to try it?"

"...The Qing Dynasty is self-clear, what am I afraid of!" By now, Liu Kaiyang knows that the road ahead is dangerous.

"Well, you can come with me." Xu Jinghong said and took Liu Kaiyang's hand and came to the gray-dressed people who were being firmly watched with him. After confirming that these people could hear his words, Xu Jinghong said in a satisfied tone, "Liu Langzhong, this time, thanks to you, we can successfully capture the remnants of these families. If you make great achievements this time, the court will definitely reward you..."

As soon as the words fell, two of the gray-clothed people over there changed their colors. Immediately, one of them turned his head, stared at Liu Kaiyang for a long time, and then screamed, "So it! It turned out that you betrayed us, so they took precautions! Liu Kaiyang, you are a villain who goes back on your own, you must die!"

"..." Liu Kaiyang's white face became pale in an instant because of nervousness. He stared at the person who broke everything with desperate eyes and almost fell to the ground.

"Liu Langzhong, what else do you have to say now?" Xu Jinghong looked at the angry people in gray with satisfaction and asked in a mocking tone, "Actually, I knew that you had collusion with them, but I didn't expect that such a fraud would make them confess you. It seems that there is still a lack of necessary trust between you and them!"

At this time, Liu Kaiyang couldn't hear anything. His mind was blank, and he knew that he was finished. Even the whole Liu family, who wants to revitalize with his own choices, is afraid that he will completely collapse because of this failure.

Without caring about this distracted person, Xu Jinghong gave an order to the brothers around him: "Wrap the wound well, take care of the criminals and these murderers carefully, and don't let them have any more ability to resist!" Then let someone report to the court and report everything that happened today to the emperor.

"Ye!" The brothers immediately moved, either to treat the injured, or took the listless prisoners to the back cell, and others began to report. Xu Jinghong hurried to the house in the backyard after ordering someone to take Liu Kaiyang and other people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice alone.

After the war was controlled, in order to make Chu Lianer no longer have any danger, the people of Guoan Division have sent her to the back room to raise her. Now Xu Jinghong is eager to see her situation. As for other problems, let's leave it for later.

Xiong Geng touched his messy beard and asked the old dog beside him puzzledly: "Old dog, why do you think the team came out like this? Didn't we know that Liu had collusion with those thieves? Just arrest them directly. Why do we need to force him to show his true form?

"This is where the team is smart." The old dog laughed and said, "There is no conclusive evidence we found. This alone is not enough to conund him, and it is impossible for him to answer honestly in the subsequent interrogation. But now, the situation is different. Knowing that he has been completely exposed, his spirit is not as firm as before, and it doesn't take too much effort to ask anything.

"So it is. There is one more thing I don't understand. With that, Xiong Geng was afraid to say, "The assassination just now was really dangerous. How could that woman suddenly come out to save the team?" Isn't she from the family?"

The old dog laughed and said, "This, I don't understand the old dog either. Why don't you ask the team by yourself later?

Xiong Geng thought for a moment and still shook his head: "I think it's better. The team is so tight on this woman. Maybe there is something between them. I still won't touch this mold."

When the two men were talking coldly there, Xu Jinghong had come to Chu Lian'er's face, carefully looked at her face, and found that she was still blue and black. Although it is no longer as scary as it was just now, it still means that there is poison in her body, and it is not easy to save her life.

"How is she now?" Xu Jinghong asked a subordinate beside him who knew a little about medical skills. But the man looked helpless and worried: "Excuse me, the poison on this girl is really too heavy, and there is nothing I can do. I have to stop the spread and spread of the toxicity with a needle first, and then think of another way."

Xu Jinghong nodded. He knew that the people around him were not good at this. Now he was lucky to save Chu Lian'er's life. But she couldn't delay for too long, so she immediately sent an order to the people outside the door: "Now you go to the major pharmacies and medical centers in the capital and invite the best doctors in the city to me. You must hurry up!"

"Yes!" Everyone outside the door answered and went out in a hurry. Not only Chu Lianer needs the doctor's treatment, but now the other brothers in the Guoan Division are also suffering from different injuries, and they also need doctors to deal with it. Obviously, this manpower in his government can't be satisfied. Moreover, this woman saved Xu Jinghong's life before. In everyone's eyes, her status is naturally different, and everyone cares about it.

After confirming that Chu Lian'er's life was not in danger for the time being, Xu Jinghong was relieved of a big stone in his heart. Then he walked back and praised the brothers who had just fought bravely: "You did not sweep away the prestige of our national security department this time, but made our reputation. I believe that after this war, our national security department will not let the government and the opposition dare not underestimate it, and no one will dare to offend us easily.

"I won't say more about other falsehoods. Each of the brothers who fought today have 50 taels of silver. In addition, if there is a reward in the court, I won't take a whole article to my brothers!"

"Thank you, Lord Dusi!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this reward. In this year when an average soldier could only get 15 taels of silver a year, what they got was a huge amount of money. Everyone used to know that Xu Jinghong's action was extremely generous, but he had never really seen it. This time it was a kind of experience. So even if many people are injured, their morale is still high and they just want to fight with the enemy again!

Shortly after appeasing his brother, the court arrived ahead of the doctor. After learning that the Guoan Department was attacked by the murderer, the government offices everywhere were really nervous. Naturally, the government departments such as the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of War, which were directly related to this matter, naturally sent people here as soon as possible. Shortly after they arrived, the emperor also sent people from the palace to inquire about what had happened.

After learning that only more than a dozen soldiers of the National Security Division were killed, more than 50 others were injured, and the murderers who came were destroyed by the whole army, these officials were relieved. Then, everyone focused on how the attack happened.

"...You must have known about the attack on the road before, right? In fact, these two things are very closely related..." Xu Jinghong carefully said the whole thing he judged and speculated: "... Therefore, this time we not only took down the murderers, but also those people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice were also detained. We must be interrogated before deciding whether to let them Leave."

This is what he said to the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who came. He was originally dissatisfied with what Guoan Division did, but now he dares not say anything when he hears it. If it is true as he said, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will inevitably be suspected. At that time, he will not be able to live in peace, so it is better to express his support to get rid of the relationship with him.

"In addition, what I want to say is that if even the Langzhong of the Ministry of Criminal Justice colludes with those remnants, I'm afraid the interior of dozens of government departments in the capital will not be too clean. So..." Xu Jinghong said and glanced at everyone: "I mean to check the officials in Beijing in the near future. Of course, this means that if your majesty allows it, and if we really do this, I hope you can help you in your respective government, so that you don't worry too much.

"..." Everyone became weird because of these last words. They didn't expect that the newly re-established Guoan Division would have the courage to attack all the government departments. But looking at his serious appearance, everyone still believed his words and began to worry about various problems that might arise later.

Xu Jinghong said a lot of words later, but the others were careless to listen. They all began to think about the emperor's attitude on this matter. If Guoan is really allowed to investigate, will it make their power inflate again? So after a few words, everyone left one after another, but their expressions were very solemn when they left, but they didn't know whether they were worried about the rampantness of the thief or the upcoming verification.

After sending these people away, Xu Jinghong hurried back. Presumably the doctors invited had begun to diagnose Chu Lianer. When he arrived in a hurry, he saw an old man with white hair shaking his head and standing up from Chu Lian'er's side. Someone asked anxiously, " Doctor, how is she... how is she?"

"Hey... the injured man was injured by a strange poison and died a long time ago. But because a force that did not belong to her was taken back, and the person who was good at needles sealed her meridians, there would be no danger in a short time. Just..." After saying that, the old man sighed again, but stopped talking.

"What does the doctor have to say, but please speak frankly!" Xu Jinghong strode over and looked straight at the old man.

"This must be Xu Dusi. I'm polite!" The old man saluted Xu Jinghong, but was stood up by Xu Jinghong: "The doctor doesn't need to say these false things. Just say it directly."

"Then I said it directly." The old man touched his beard and said with great difficulty: "Although the injured person is not weak, he is not a martial artist after all, so this poison is very harmful to his body. And that force can only last for a period of time. Once it weakens, the toxicity will rise again. At that time, she will be afraid..."

"Does the doctor have a cure?" After composure, Xu Jinghong asked in a calm tone, "As long as you have a way, I can do anything."

"The toxicity is fierce, and the manpower will eventually run out. Before I find an antidote to this poison, what I can do is to continue her life. However, it is three poisons, and the medicine I used also has a certain harm to the injured, so if you can't find a radical cure within half a month, I'm afraid this girl will..."

"Does the doctor know what this poison is?" Xu Jinghong was shocked. Somehow, thinking that Chu Lianer might die because of this, his heart was as painful as being cut by a knife.

"I have studied medicine since I was six years old, and now I have a Jiazi. It can be said that there are thousands of diseases and poisons that have been seen, but this poison has never been seen. The old doctor said in a helpless voice, "This poison is fierce when it first erupts, but once it is suppressed by external forces, it will take root in the body again. This is different from the general poison, just like those chronic poisons. So it's really weird. If you can know what this poison is made of, you may be able to use medicine in a mutual way, but unfortunately, you don't know anything now..."

The people around him have also changed their faces because of this. This old doctor is already the most detoxifying person in Beijing. Now even he can't solve the poison, so there is really nothing he can do.

"..." Xu Jinghong had nothing to say, and the other party had made it clear. He had never seen such an old doctor. May I ask how can he save people? Suddenly, Xu Jinghong thought of something and suddenly turned around and ran to the courtyard behind. After being stunned, everyone thought of the whole thing. Now it is true that we can only ask the origin of the poison from the mouths of those in gray!
