Chapter 37: Conspiracy
It was already dark outside the window, Liu Hong gradually took a breath of fresh air, and suddenly found that there was still a person standing in the courtyard.
The man held a thick mace in his right hand, pestle to the ground, and not far behind him lay a man dressed in black, motionless, apparently dead.
"Master, I'm guilty!" Seeing Liu Hong gradually walking out of the house, Niu Dabang threw the stick and fell to the ground.
The Assassin entered the inner courtyard and stabbed the hostess, and as a bodyguard, it was clear that he was derelict in his duties.
"Get up, it's not your fault!" Liu Hong gradually tired to help Niu Zhuang.
The new house has just moved over, the courtyard is big, and there are few people, it seems that the inner courtyard will have to find a way to protect it in the future, and he doesn't want to come out like this in the future.
"You're hurt?" Liu Hong gradually saw that Niu Zhuang's drooping left hand was constantly dripping blood, and a piece was already flowing from under his body.
"Master, I'm ...... If you don't get in the way, you can punish me, or I will be uneasy! Niu Dabang hurriedly put his left hand behind his back, but accidentally pulled the wound and couldn't help grinning.
Liu Hong gradually said nothing, turned around and returned to the house, took out the remaining gauze and potion, and walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.
"Come and show me!" Liu Hong's voice was a little hoarse.
"Master, I'm really fine!" Seeing that Liu Hong was gradually unyielding, Niu Dabang had no choice but to walk over and lift the clothes on his left arm.
A two-inch-long cut came into view, and blood was still oozing out.
Although the wound is long, but fortunately it is not deep, Liu Hongchuan, who has experience in dealing with external injuries, took out iodine and disinfected it, sprinkled some white medicine, and the blood immediately stopped, bandaged it briefly, and then pulled out a long cloth and wrapped it around his arm, and hung it on Niu Zhuang's neck.
"Sir! My Niu Zhuang's life will be yours in the future, you call me to the east, I will never go to the west, even if I am asked to kill, I will never frown! ”
The big man also wiped his tears, there is such a master, not only does not beat you when you are derelict in his duties, does not scold you, but also personally treats your wounds, which makes Niu Dabang feel even more guilty, and he secretly swears in his heart that this life will be handed over to the master in the future.
After treating the wound with the bull mallet, Liu Hong gradually had time to take off the assassin's mask, and under the mask, a hideous face was revealed, only to see that this person was full of beards, his forehead was bald, and only a handful of palm-sized hair was left on the back of his head, and it was twisted into a small pigtail with a ruler length, and his hairstyle was extremely ugly.
"Manchu wild boar skin?" Liu Hong gradually frowned, thinking that although he had offended many people, it seemed that he had not provoked the Wild Boar Skin family so far, why did the Jurchens send someone to assassinate me?
No, there must be something strange about this!
Liu Hong gradually searched the assassin's body, but found no other suspicious things, seeing the guilt on Niu Dabang's face, he couldn't bear to blame him for not leaving a living mouth, after all, he knew Niu Zhuang's skills very well, and the person who could injure Niu Zhuang should also be extremely ruthless.
Liu Hong gradually ordered the bull to dispose of the body with a big stick and mallet, and walked out of the inner courtyard.
Because he only heard that his daughter-in-law was injured, Lao Xiucai has been pacing back and forth in the outer courtyard anxiously in order to avoid suspicion, waiting for news, seeing Liu Honggradually coming out and asking him, Liu Hongjian In order not to worry his father, he just said that the injury was not serious, and he had already dealt with it.
Thanks to his surgical profession, otherwise with the situation at that time, if he went to the city to find a doctor, Xiuxiu would really be in danger.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong gradually gritted his teeth, and then led the horse out and went straight to the palace.
Due to the slight discomfort of his body, Chongzhen did not go to court for the first time today, but he was still diligently reviewing the twists and turns like a mountain in the Qianqing Palace.
Hearing that Wang Erxi, the eunuch in the hall, told An Guobo to meet him, Chongzhen did not stop writing in his hand, but directly announced that he had entered the Qianqing Palace.
"An Guobo, did you come to the court so early in the morning? That's a rarity! Chongzhen stopped writing and didn't forget to ridicule Liu Hong's laziness.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has important matters to discuss, please retreat!" Liu Hong's face gradually became serious and not polite.
Chongzhen frowned slightly, then remembered the big event, and without saying a word, he directly signaled the palace maid and eunuch to retreat.
"Your Majesty, Weichen was suddenly assassinated last night!" Liu Hong gradually said word by word.
"What? Can you hurt Aiqing? Chongzhen was shocked, God finally gave him a humerus minister, so that he had some hope for the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, hearing what Liu Hongjian said, Chongzhen hurriedly stepped forward to check whether Liu Hongjian had any parts on his body.
"Your Majesty, the minister is fine, it's just that Clumsy Jing was stabbed by an assassin in order to protect the minister, but fortunately, the minister has some medical skills, and now there is no big problem."
Liu Hong gradually briefly talked about the situation last night, and informed Chongzhen that it was a Jurchen who assassinated him.
Chongzhen was a little surprised that Liu Hongjian was still proficient in medicine, but he also understood that the focus of the problem was not here, but this assassin, the Jurchens.
The Jurchens came to the capital thousands of miles just to assassinate one of my courtiers? How did they enter the city? How do you know where you live?
After all, Chongzhen has been struggling in this Vanity Fair for many years, and he thinks about the problem in an orderly manner, and after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered those so-called loyal ministers who shook their heads, so he immediately looked at Liu Hongji.
Liu Hongjian and Chongzhen confirmed the thoughts in their hearts from each other's eyes, and then nodded.
"The people who slipped around and slapped the horses dared to do such a rebellious thing, colluded with foreign countries, killed my humerus, and messed with my dynasty, they should be killed! How is Aiqing preparing? I don't want to wait for a moment! ”
Chongzhen is really anxious, seeing that those chaotic ministers and thieves are still causing trouble in the Ming Dynasty, and doing this kind of collusion with foreign countries, he is directly angry, but Liu Hongjian has always said that Jinyiwei has not been ready.
"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't want to wait for a moment, the Jinyi guard on Weichen's side is ready to go, just wait for the emperor's order to eradicate the traitor!"
Originally, Liu Hongjian was just a little disgusted with those guys who shook his head, but now he actually attacked himself and injured his wife, Liu Hongjian is now eager to eat alive this group of Donglin Party who can only do it and the yin people behind it.
Chongzhen was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly motioned for Liu Hong to sit down gradually and discuss how to deal with it together.
Liu Hongjian was not polite, sat down and poured a glass of wine for Chongzhen, poured it for himself, and then drank a glass of wine.
The current situation is like a dragon and a snake facing a group of tigers that eat meat and do not spit out bones, he must be cautious, there are many Donglin Party members in the entire city of Beijing, and each of them has many domestic slaves in their homes, which is a force to be reckoned with.
Moreover, now they have colluded with the Manchu wild boar skin, and the garrison of the capital is insufficient, if these national thieves should cooperate with the outside ......, so he only has one chance to make a move, and if he is not careful, he will definitely fall into the abyss.
