Chapter 452: Shadow Order? (Plus 3)
At the first glance of Han Sui, all the anger in Ma Chao's chest was covered up by shock.
Han Sui is no longer young, and his gray and sparse hair already looks a little old. But now the gray hair was stained with sticky blood, and the placket was dyed red. and the pain and weakness when he coughed lightly from time to time, which made Ma Chao feel that Han Sui might have to braided at any time.
To tell the truth, none of Ma Chao's fathers-in-law make Ma Chao happy: Cai Yan's father regards Ma Chao as a traitor; And Diao Chan's father-in-law, Wang Yun, wants to punish Ma Chao as soon as possible; Han Sui is also half a catty, and his relationship with Ma Chao can be regarded as a win-win cooperation at most. But Ma Chao knew that as long as the Ma family was a little careless, this old guy would definitely swallow the Ma family as soon as possible and mercilessly......
"Someone is coming, quickly spread the word Hua Tuo to come!" Although he was very happy about what happened to Han Sui in his heart, Ma Chao looked nervous and his words were in place quickly, and he looked like the best son-in-law: "This should be a sharp blade that stabbed the lungs, if you don't treat it in time, you may be worried about your life." β
"Sister Cicada has already instructed Shadow to find Doctor Hua......." Han Ying saw Ma Chao come in, her panicked eyes seemed to calm down a little, pressed Han Sui's wound with her hand, and cried and said, "Chao'er, who wants a certain father to die?" ......β
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run......." Ma Chao first glanced at Diao Chan, and after finding Diao Chan's pampered and unfazed look, he looked at Han Sui again and said: "Father-in-law, don't move for a while, Doctor Hua will come soon." β
And Han Sui didn't glance at Ma Chao until this time, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be so pretty." Although Ying'er is by my side, I don't want to be so hypocritical with you....... Ahem, laugh if you want, I know you've been expecting me dead for a long time. As he spoke, Han Sui took out something from his waist and threw it to Ma Chao.
Due to the injury, Han Sui's strength was really not good, and before Ma Chao could catch it, the thing fell to the ground. The three of them took a look, and their mood suddenly wavered: this is actually the token of the shadow!
"Chao'er, father!" Han Ying's face turned extremely pale, and she cried out, "Why can't the two of you get along peacefully?" You are all the people Ying'er cares about the most, do you have to be willing for Ying'er to die in pain? Han Ying was grief-stricken and indignant, it seemed that if it weren't for the fact that his hands were still pressing Han Sui's wounds, and the idea of taking care of Han Sui was supporting, he would probably faint in grief.
And after Ma Chao glanced at the token on the ground, his face was solemn. glanced back at Diao Chan again, and after Diao Chan got up to support Han Ying, he was about to speak, but was interrupted by an emotional Han Ying: "Chao'er, why do you have to kill your father?!" If so, why do you want to marry me? Could it be for the stability of Yongliang Erzhou, and I'm just a pitiful victim?! β
"Not bad! Ahem......." Han Sui interrupted Ma Chao, who was about to defend himself, with a complicated look in his eyes, and said, "Meng Qi, you spoil her too much. After being in Ma's house for so long, she still has such vain thoughts......." As she spoke, Han Sui slowly looked at Han Ying, and said with a wry smile: "Ying'er, it's because your father spoils you too much, causing you to be so naΓ―ve now!" In troubled times, that daughter is not a victim. Do you think the matter of the princess of ten thousand years is just an accident? β
"Father, why are you ......" Han Ying heard Han Sui actually say this about her, and her face was even more pale, almost as transparent as white paper. But Han Sui didn't care about this, and shouted a little angrily: "Since you have entered the Ma family, you are naturally a member of the Ma family...... Ahem, if you don't even understand this simple truth, you are not worthy of being my Han Sui's daughter! β
Hearing this, Diao Chan's face turned grim, and he suddenly supported Han Ying's already crumbling body, and was about to turn between the father and daughter. found that at this time, Hua Tuo happened to enter. Hua Tuo's parents were hearted, and when they entered the door and saw Han Sui's situation, they directly opened his toolbox without saying a word and began to carefully examine Han Sui's wounds.
At this time, the room suddenly fell into a terrible silence. Except for the busy voices of Hua Tuo and his disciples, mixed with Han Sui's tenacious but painful muffled hum, there was only a faint echo of everyone's hearts trembling.
Diao Chan had already helped Han Ying sit down at this time, but she didn't know what words to use to comfort her. And Ma Chao had already picked up the token at this time and cast a questioning glance at Diao Chan.
"No, I'm well aware of the Shadow's recent transfers and missions." There was no need to speak, Diao Chan also knew what Ma Chao was going to ask, but as she spoke, her face gradually fell into solemnity: "Moreover, the shadow only has nine tokens, except for those who have the power to wear them with them, the other ones are kept by me." None of the people who wore the token with them died, and it is naturally impossible for them to be killed and used fraudulently. β
"Needless to say, if I ...... Ahem, if you think it's really your kid's order, it's impossible...... Escape here, huh! Although Han Sui is old and a scholar before, he is very tough in his bones. At this time, under the healing and pain, it is more heroic. It's just that when he said the last sentence, Hua Tuo happened to take out a broken blade from his lungs, which made him can't help but snort in pain, and his face was drenched in cold sweat: "Hmph...... The plan to sow discord is too underestimating me Han! β
Ma Chao nodded admiringly, and then looked at the token carefully, and found that the token was indeed the same as the Ma family, cast from heavy lead that was neither gold nor iron, and the expression on his face gradually began to be gloomy. But after rubbing the secret place of the token slightly, a trace of joy appeared on his face: "This token is fake." β
As he spoke, he took off the token on his body, put it together with the fake token, put it in front of everyone's eyes, and said, "The shadow token of the Ma family is useful on the back of it....... A special symbol, and this token, although in terms of material and workmanship, can almost be real, but it does not have the most important anti-counterfeiting mark......."
Ma Chao is not a serious criminal investigation professional, but in his past life when he has to keep an eye on counterfeit and shoddy goods all the time, how can he not even have a sense of anti-counterfeiting? And these nine tokens are still a very important thing for the Ma family, so when he was minting, he chose heavy lead, which is rarely used in this era, and engraved the simplified version of the word 'horse' in the lower right corner.
But his excitement disturbed Hua Tuo's bandage, causing Hua Tuo to look at Ma Chao angrily. However, Ma Chao didn't care about the old man Hua Tuo's criminal actions, but had a trace of reverence: those doctors in the previous life, as long as they had one-tenth of their ancestors' medical virtues, maybe the dynasty would be really harmonious.
And after Han Ying carefully compared the two tokens, the expression on his face softened slightly, and then he fell into a silent and speechless grief - Ma Chao now proved that he did not assassinate Han Sui, but Han Sui had completely broken the relationship between the two. This made Han Ying, who originally had a hint of luck fantasy, suddenly at a loss and even more like a sinking abyss.
At this moment, everyone in the room fell silent again. Only Hua Tuo, who had finished his work, looked at the room angrily and strangely, and broke the silence with his mouth: "The second master mother is in a depressed mood, and when she decocides the medicine later, she will fry a medicinal soup to calm the nerves and help her sleep and send it by the way." β
Ma Chao listened, nodded and said: "This is a miracle doctor, come late at night to disturb, don't blame." As he spoke, he just glanced at Han Ying with concern, and didn't explain anything to Han Ying: since Han Sui deliberately woke up Han Ying, he was also happy that he didn't have to be the villain himself.
After all, as Han Sui said, he spoils these women too much: Diao Chan is the wisest of the three, but her hot and cold, sensitive and proud temperament sometimes does embarrass Ma Chao; Cai Yan and Han Ying are both a problem, too naΓ―ve. But Cai Yan is reasonable, the traditional concept is extremely heavy, although it will be painful in the future, but he will take the initiative to change his thinking. And Han Ying has too little experience and simple thinking, and sometimes she really needs a painful knife like Han Sui to make her grow up gradually.
Because, Ma Chao is now married. And love and marriage are not the same thing at all.......
