Chapter 505 Shangyuan Night
The sound of gongs on all sides is rattling. Obviously, the officers and soldiers in the city have got the news, and soon the brigade of soldiers and horses will come.
Princess Ping'an was slightly shocked and whispered, "Lord Song, I have to leave quickly. The arrival of officers and soldiers is confusing. If I see the identity of the guardian of the royal palace, I will ask endlessly. I can't stay here for a long time."
Song Nan endured the pain on her arm and arched her hand and said, "Thank you for saving my life. Princess, please think twice. When you go back to the palace, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot. I can't help you for the time being. Why don't you go back to the Snow Tower with me? I will ensure your safety.
Princess Ping'an shook her head and said, "I have explained that I will not leave the royal palace. It is my home, and I can't leave my brother."
Song Nan sighed and said, "Well, thank you for your kindness. I will definitely fulfill my promise and get justice for the princess; Wang Yong, immediately send someone to escort the princess and Qingluan girl back to the palace of Qing.
Princess Ping'an restrained a salute, and Qingluan was also blessed. The two masters and servants helped each other and turned to walk towards the entrance of South Street. A hundred households with more than a dozen guards quickly followed the guard.
On the long street, the lights were low, and Song Nan stood still. Looking at the backs of the two gradually fading away in the dim lights, there was an indescribable emotion in his heart. I secretly made up my mind to find out the conspiracy behind King Anhua, fulfill my wish for Princess Ping'an, and return the clear sky of the royal palace.
After a while, the noisy sound approached, and the brigade of the governor's government and the general's government arrived at Cheng'en Street. Jiang Han arranged personnel to lead the soldiers and horses on the periphery to block and search for assassins, but An Weixue hurried to check the death and injury situation. When An Weixue saw Song Nan standing upright in the center of the street, the disappointment on his face flashed. But he quickly changed his smiling face and came to say hello.
"Marquis Song, the subordinate received the report that there was a thief assassination of the marquis on Cheng'en Street. He hurried to pray for the marquis all the way. Fortunately, the marquis was really safe and sound. The subordinate was very reassed."
"Blessings to you, I'm not so easy to die. I'm afraid I have to teach some people to be disappointed." Song Nan said coldly.
An Weixue coughed dryly and said, "Yes, yes, can the marquis know the identity of the assassin? Did your men catch the alive? If there is a living mouth, give it to me to bring it back to the government office, and I will interrogate his identity and give the marquis an explanation.
"It's too late for me to save my life, but I didn't catch anything alive. Unfortunately, I killed more than a dozen guys. Unfortunately, the dead can't open their mouths. If the governor wants to investigate, the dead body of the assassin bow and crossbowman on the steps over there and across the street will be left for you."
An Weixue frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult for you to come and clean up the bodies on the ground. Let's see if there are any clues on these people."
A group of soldiers came forward to sort out the bodies under the steps. The bodies of more than a dozen Jinyiwei's personal guards had already been carried out by Wang Yong and Hou Dabiao. At this time, the bodies of four assassins and Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi were left up and down the steps. Before the officers and soldiers arrived, Jinyiwei had already searched the four bodies. There is no clue to these people.
"Lord Patrol." A hundred households searching for the body suddenly screamed in horror.
"What's wrong?" An Weixue turned his head and scolded.
The hundred households hurried to An Weixue's ear and whispered a few words. An Weixue's face changed greatly and he screamed, "What? The body of the royal guard?
"Lord, it seems that Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi of the royal palace, seem to have been killed by firearms." Hundreds of households whispered.
An Weixue quickly walked to the body and looked at several times. The fear on his face was indescribable. After carefully checking the waist card and confirming it, An Weixue returned to Song Nan with a solemn face and said, "Marquis Song, there are two guards of Prince Anhua in the dead body. Does the marquis know?"
Song Nan said, "Yes, I don't know about this. It was a pot of porridge at the time of the incident, and I didn't have time to identify who."
An Weixue frowned and said, "Marquis, what the subordinate means is that the two guards of the royal palace have died. I'm afraid this matter will be troublesome. The prince will definitely be furious. If the prince is angry, how can we reply?"
Song Nan stared at An Weixue and sneered several times and shouted, "It turns out that you are not worried about the safety of my official. The death of the prince's guard is a big deal. Is it an understatement that I was assassinated and injured. Is it an understatement that 14 brocade guard brothers are killed? If the prince is angry, are you afraid? Who can calm the anger of the official?
An Weixue hurriedly said, "Marquis, I don't mean that, I mean..."
Song Nan said angrily, "Don't say anything more. Such a bad case has happened in your Ningxia town. You have to give me a satisfactory explanation. My Jinyiwei brothers can't die in vain. If this matter can't give me a satisfactory result, don't blame Song Nan for being ruthless. Is this still Ningxia Town in the Ming Dynasty? In the place where tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are stationed, such things happened on the street, which is the incompetence of the chief officer.
An Weixue's face changed dramatically and hurriedly said, "The marquis is angry. What I mean is that Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi are the beloved generals of the prince. The scars on their bodies died under firearms. I know that these firearms are only available in your brocade guard camp. Do you have to explain this clearly?"
Song Nan shouted, "You mean my people killed the prince's people? To put it this way, I would like to ask you, why did the royal guard appear at the scene of the assassination? Does this have anything to do with the royal palace? If so, even King Anhua may not bear the responsibility of assassinating the imperial court officials.
An Weixue waved his hand repeatedly and said, "The marquis misunderstood. Is that what the subordinate mean? How could the prince be involved in this matter? The marquis was at the scene, so the subordinate came to ask what the reason was."
Song Nan said, "How do I know that they will die here? The firearms are not long-sighted, and it is unknown to shoot them in a coax. Besides, more than ten people were killed and injured before the attack, and the firearms equipped with them disappeared. Maybe the assassin thieves took the firearms and killed two guards."
"Yes, this made it clear. The subordinates guessed that two royal guards must have come to the lamp market to watch the lights. At the time of the incident, they must have wanted to assist in the capture of the assassin, but unexpectedly, they took your firearm and shot them for the assassin. This explanation makes it clear. What do you think?"
Song Nan said coldly, "How to make up a story is your business. I'm in a bad mood now. Your governor's government will investigate this matter, and I won't stand by. I don't have time to stand here and talk nonsense. I'll say goodbye."
An Weixue arched his hand awkwardly and said, "The marquis was shocked. He should have gone back to calm down and send him off. Once the matter progresses, the subordinate will immediately go to visit the marquis and return it.
Song Nan snorted and waved her hand and walked quickly.
An Weixue twisted his beard and squinted at Song Nan's back and muttered, "Now you know that Ningxia Town is not your wild place. If I were you, I would take people out of Ningxia Town tomorrow morning and never be here again."
Jiang Han came with more than a dozen guards. Seeing An Weixue meditating, he asked loudly, "What about Lord Song?"
An Weixue turned his head and looked at Jiang Han and said indifferently, "Let's go. Back to the Snow Tower.
Jiang Han said angrily, "How can you let him go?" There are hundreds of casualties tonight, and we have to ask Lord Song to explain the original.
An Weixue sneered and said, "Why don't you go to Guanxuelou to ask Lord Song's confession? Thanks to you, you still look compassionate. Look at what our Ningxia town has become under the jurisdiction of your General Jiang? Don't worry, if you don't go to Song Nan this time, I'm afraid Song Nan will also make trouble for you.
Jiang Han said angrily, "What does this have to do with me? Who knows what enemies he had sneaked into Ningxia Town? As soon as he came to our Ningxia Town, he became a mess. What does he have to do with me?
An Weixue didn't want to say much to him, so he waved his hand and ordered his men to carry the bodies of the two royal guards and leave. Jiang Han shouted, "Where are you going? Don't you investigate the scene? Don't you look for witnesses to the people asking for confessions?"
An Weixue turned over and said, "I have to wipe your buttocks. Do you know who the two dead bodies on the stretcher are? Do you know Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi, the king of Anhua? They also died in this fight. Wait, not only Song Nan, but also the prince may want to talk to you.
Jiang Han was stunned. He sat on his horse and watched An Weixue take people away. He really couldn't figure it out. Obviously, he said that the assassin assassinated Song Nan and the town army eunuch Li Zeng and others on the street. How did he emerge the guards of the royal palace again? It was really a mess.
......
Zhu Huan, the king of Anhua, was drinking with his staff members in the mind hall. They were waiting for the news of Song Nan's attack and death. However, what they never expected was to wait was the two flesh and blood bodies of Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi. Zhu Yu, who was already drunk, couldn't help the surge in his chest at the moment he saw the body. Wow A lot of dirt was spit out.
"Song Nan, Song Nan, if I don't break you into ten thousand pieces, it's hard to dispel my hatred." Zhu Yuqi drew his sword and cut off a precious table with a bang. The person standing beside him was silent like a cicada, and he did not dare to say anything.
"The prince was angry and was angry. It's not good. The big thing is important. Although Song Nan escaped, he was in my Ningxia town, which was the meat on the prince's chopping board. It's good to kill him tonight, but wouldn't it be more relieved that he killed him in public every day?" Sun Jingwen came forward carefully.
Zhu Xiaoqi sat down and gasped for a moment. His anger calmed down a little. He nodded and said, "Jing Wen said that I was a little lost my state; this matter was my fault. If I had known this, I might as well be in the palace. Song Nan has been slaughtered a hundred times, and now he has let him escape. Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi were incompetent and lived up to the king's expectations. He usually boasted about his martial arts, but he died at the hands of Song Nan. He deserved to die.
Everyone looked at each other and thought: If everyone is dead, it is inevitable to be scolded by the prince.
Sun Jingwen said: "The prince doesn't have to blame himself. The prince is just thinking about major events. Song Nan's companions who escaped on behalf of Li Laaba know that Song Nan has fallen into the royal palace. Of course, we don't want to take this risk to kill Song Nan. In that case, we will have to be forced to do things in advance, which is quite harmful to the big event. Song Nan is indeed not an easy person. It is also unexpected that he did not kill him with Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi's ability. However, subordinates think that this matter may not be a bad thing. With Song Nan's shrewdness, they will definitely find out that the person who assassinated him last night was Li Zeng's person. Liu Jin asked Li Zeng to result in Song Nan here. How could Song Nan give up? Let them make a fuss, the prince only needs to actively prepare for the big event. When everything is ready, these people are all ghosts under the prince's knife.
Zhu Yu thought for a moment and said, "What did An Weixue say when he sent the corpse here?"
Sun Jingwen said, "This man is very cunning, and the prince can't believe him too much. When he sent the body, he said that Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi saw the long street rising up to arrest the assassin, but they were killed by the assassin's firearm that seized the brocade guard. He said that the matter would be announced tomorrow, and the governor's office came forward to give a generous reward, praising him. Yang Ye Baoren and Ye Baoyi acted bravely.
Zhumein nodded slightly and said, "It's okay to say so, but Song Nan's son must be very clear in his heart. Only he may know the situation at that time. He must know that I want to take his life, but it doesn't matter. He can't do anything without evidence. He has to do anything before he returns to Beijing and can't let him get away. Talk nonsense after returning to Beijing.
"The prince is clear. But Song Nan may not leave Ningxia Town easily. His subordinates always feel that this person is not good and seems to be doubting something. Otherwise, how could he be stupid enough to break into the royal palace?
Zhu Xiaoqi sneered and said, "The bitch must have learned that they have come back, and still ran away with Song Nan. I hope that she will run away with Song Nan. After it is found out, I can kill Song Nan in a just name. I will charge him of abducting the princess, and it's easy to kill him."
Sun Jingwen whispered, "Unfortunately, the princess has already returned home."
Zhu Yu was extremely disappointed and suddenly got up and said, "This bitch who crawled inside and outside dares to come back. How can I spare her? I will let her understand one thing. This Qing Palace is no longer her Qing Palace, but my king's. She is against me because she doesn't want to celebrate Ann's birthday. Jingwen, I know that you are very interested in her. Don't worry, I won't kill her. I just want to punish her heavily. You are loyal to me to achieve great things. In the future, I will give her to you as a concubine, which also fulfills your wish.
Sun Jingwen's eyes glowed, kneeling down and kowtowing like pounding garlic.
