Chapter 196: Buy One Get One Free Jokes (asking for monthly tickets)
That was what Wei Miaoqing secretly gave her today when no one was paying attention.
On it was written by Wei Shuyi, with just two short lines - The sage has doubts and does not allow the three courts to hastily close the case. He has also sent people to investigate in detail. I hope you will be at ease.
Chang Suining read it again and looked towards the gradually fading night in the east.
The empress did not allow the three courts to hastily close the case, and ordered people to conduct a secret investigation in detail because the emperor would not allow himself to be deceived or blinded, and would not allow things beyond his control to happen.
If the murderer was someone else, she might have some hope.
But once the Queen knows that this matter is related to the Ming family, will there really be a possibility of handling it impartially?
Wei Shuyi said this because he didn't know at that time that the real murderer was most likely Ming Jin.
But she knew, and after Feng Min's incident, it has been confirmed to be almost certain.
Therefore, she was destined not to be able to "rest for a while".
But no matter whether it is safe or not, no matter what methods are used, this time, she will make Ming Jin pay with his life.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the door behind him was pushed open and Chang Suining turned around.
The one who came out was Xier.
Chang Suining asked, "How?"
"My dear, the wound has been treated and bandaged, and the bleeding has stopped, but Doctor Sun did not say what happened to the patient."
From the time he brought the person here until now, Doctor Sun has not uttered a single word.
If other people cherish words like gold, then Doctor Sun cherishes words like his life, as if saying one more word would bring him to eternal damnation.
Xi'er, who had never left the capital, had been with Doctor Sun for a few days and had always wanted to ask - in your place, if someone speaks rashly, how many years will the government usually sentence him to? Is there any limit on the amount of talking that the locals can do each year? Chang Suining walked into the room and said, "Doctor Sun, can the person be saved?"
Doctor Sun whispered, "The wound is in the back of the heart, so there is only a 70% chance of success... The remaining 30% will be known only after the person wakes up."
Chang Suining breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Doctor Sun."
Doctor Sun clenched his freshly washed hands awkwardly. After a moment, he pointed to the guest room opposite: "...Why not place the person here?"
It will also make it easier for him to receive treatment and care.
Chang Suining thanked him again.
Xi'er praised: "Doctor Sun doesn't like to be disturbed, but he still took the initiative to suggest keeping the injured. This shows the kindness of doctors!"
The girl had worked hard to invite this person, so it would never be a bad idea to praise him more and maintain the favor.
Doctor Sun looked embarrassed.
This compliment is quite the opposite...
Firstly, the unconscious injured person did not have the ability to disturb him.
Secondly, the reason why he chose to leave the person behind was because he was afraid that someone would keep looking for him for this... If that happened, his body and mind would always be in a tense state of preparation, and he would not be able to do anything.
After settling Feng Min down, Chang Suining left the guest house. On the way, he told Chang Ren to make sure someone guarded the yard.
Feng Min is now a very critical witness.
Even if her own words were not strong enough and would most likely be refuted by the Ming family as "empty slander", who could say for sure that Feng Min had no other evidence left? Taking a step back, if she was an accomplice, she must know many details of the inside story, which would bring progress to the case.
But all this needs to wait until Feng Min wakes up.
Fortunately, his life was saved.
Chang Suining looked back at the guest house that was disappearing into the distance.
Although Doctor Sun spoke little, he was very cautious. Since he said he was 70% sure, it seemed that Feng Min would not die.
Today's events also confirmed her previous guess - when "she" met Doctor Sun, he claimed that he was only good at eye diseases and knew nothing about other injuries. It turned out that this statement was just an excuse to avoid people.
When Chang Suining turned around thinking, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from the side.
"Be careful, girl!" Chang Ren reminded quickly.
Chang Suining dodged sideways and grabbed the arm of the black shadow that was attacking her.
In the dim night, the masked black shadow moved extremely quickly and with great strength, and immediately struck her with his other hand.
Chang Suining dodged quickly, using the arm that she was holding in her hand to grab his shoulder with his other hand, and using the force to leap behind him, he grabbed his neck the next moment.
"You lose."
The man in black deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Then guess who I am!"
"...Only the winner can let others guess." Chang Suining let go of his neck and pulled off the scarf covering his face: "You have lost."
"That's because I let you go!" Adian, who was wearing a nightgown, turned around and said seriously, "I was afraid of hurting you!"
Chang Suining smiled at him: "I know."
Ah Dian then grinned and boasted to her in a low voice, "I jumped over the wall and came back!"
Chang Suining nodded: "How did the job go?"
"I've wiped it all, I wiped it clean!" Ah Dian said, turning around and pulling over another black-clad companion who had followed closely behind, asking him to be his witness: "Little Ah Li, if you don't believe me, ask him!"
He and another of Chang Ren's men were responsible for the coordination and aftermath of tonight's operation.
The companion confirmed: "General Adian left no trace wherever he went tonight."
"Isn't it?" Ah Dian was very proud, and said to Chang Ren, "How come it's gone while I'm wiping? I haven't wiped enough, why don't you drip some more?"
Chang Ren: “…”
Such an innocent tone, yet such chilling words...
He wanted to drip more water on the child to rub it for fun, but if it continued like this, he was afraid that he would only be able to carry back a dried-up corpse.
Ah Dian didn't have a clear understanding of this. He just felt that the work was over before he had finished it, and that he hadn't enjoyed the trip to the fullest. "Little Ah Li, next time you have such an errand, remember to call me!"
Chang Suining nodded and agreed.
Adian walked back with her, talking all the way, in great spirits.
"Little Ah Li, I am still very useful, right?" He was like a child who finally got to help out, excited and eager to be recognized: "I told you before that His Highness always praised me for being great. Now you should believe it, right?"
Chang Suining nodded: "I have always believed that Ah Dian is a smart, capable and hardworking child."
After hearing this affirmation, Ah Dian couldn't hide his happiness on his face, and he jumped up and down: "...His Highness said so too!"
"Well... Your Highness has a keen eye for talent." Chang Suining boasted, "Otherwise, why would he have chosen you when he first saw you?"
"You already know this!" Adian asked, "Then do you know how many people His Highness chose me from?"
Chang Suining shook his head in agreement: "I haven't heard of this."
Ah Dian immediately stretched out his two big hands, with his ten fingers spread wide open, and his exceptionally clear and bright eyes widened: "Ten people in total!"
Chang Suining exclaimed, "So many?"
"Yes!" Adian said, "I am the tallest and the strongest!"
But those teenagers who were about his age were not afraid of him just because he was tall. They would stay away from him and throw stones and mud at him, saying that he was a useless fool.
When Adian thought of this, his eyebrows drooped a little sadly, but soon his expression brightened up again.
But His Highness said that he is a smart, capable and hardworking child!
His Highness said that day that he could only choose one person to take away.
He didn't think at all that he would be chosen, but he kept looking at the young man in armor leading the warhorse - that armor was so beautiful, he also wanted one, if he could have such armor, those stones would not hurt him!
The boy's way of selecting people was very special. He didn't ask any questions. He just pointed at them one by one and slowly recited -
"Call the soldiers and generals, ride on horses to fight, whoever is called, follow me, if you don't follow, you are a puppy."
When the last word was read, the finger fell in front of him and pointed at him.
I'm not a puppy! — he said hurriedly.
The young man said to him with a smile in his eyes: If you don’t want to be a puppy, then come with me.
He ran over quickly.
Adian felt that his memory was not very good and he had forgotten many things, but he always remembered things related to His Highness very clearly.
He often couldn't tell what year or month it was, and didn't know whether it was winter or summer after spring, but he always remembered clearly that at the moment when His Highness pointed at him, the sun was exceptionally warm and the wild flowers on the muddy roadside were blooming exceptionally vigorously.
So he felt that His Highness was like the sun and the flowers.
If he could express his inner feelings clearly, he would definitely call that day the first day in his life when he was blessed by luck.
On the way, His Highness asked him what his name was.
He thought about it - fool.
Everyone said that his mother was also a fool, and they didn't know where this came from.
As for his father... there are many men in the village, he doesn't know who his father is, and no one knows.
He tried to ask everyone in the village - Are you my father? But every time he was driven away, beaten, and scolded.
So no one gave him a name.
A Niang was taken away by the river god. This was told to him by a kind-hearted old lady in the village. The old lady raised him, but later when she passed away, he began to eat other people's leftovers, pick up slop, catch field mice, and steal food from pigs and dogs.
He also felt that stealing things was not good, but he was really too hungry and was almost starving to death. Every time he finished stealing things, he would wipe his tears and kowtow to them to apologize.
As a result, more people called him a fool.
But His Highness said that he could have a new name. His Highness thought about it - point out the soldiers and generals... first be a soldier, then a general, so why not just call him Adian.
After His Highness finished speaking, Uncle Chang on another horse laughed and said that His Highness's ability in naming had not improved.
But he liked the name so much. He owned the first thing in the world that belonged to him.
Later, he had more and more things like this, all given to him by His Highness, like the bamboo dragonfly.
"Go back and have some sleep. Only by getting more sleep can you grow taller." Chang Suining said to Adian.
"Yes!" Ah Dian responded obediently, and suddenly asked: "Little Ah Li, if we do this, can we really save Xiao Sui'an?"
Chang Suining nodded: "Of course."
Adian went back to sleep with peace of mind.
"General Adian is like a sensible child when he is with the girl." Xier said, "I heard before that General Adian has a very stubborn temper and doesn't listen to anyone. He always wants to go look for the late Crown Prince... That's why he has to be kept in Xuan Ce Mansion by General Cui."
"But when he is with the girl, he is very well-behaved and sensible." Xier sighed.
"Maybe Adian and I are destined to be together." Chang Suining said as he looked towards the sky which was about to break dawn.
The wedding sedan that the Ming family went to pick up should have already arrived at the Feng family.
But the bride was destined not to be picked up, nor to be killed.
…
After all, it is the Mansion of Duke Ying. Although it is a concubine for the purpose of bringing good luck, the ceremony is quite grand - this is mainly the intention of Duke Ying. He is afraid that if things are done too perfunctorily, God will not see and will not save the Ming family from disaster.
There were also many people coming to watch.
Some were there just to watch the fun, some were there just to see the joke - Xie had always been very ambitious and thought himself superior to others, but in the end his granddaughter had to be sent away to bring good luck, how could this not be a joke.
At this point these people hadn’t realized that this joke was even a buy one get one free deal.
As the sun rose higher, the onlookers could not help but talk about it as they saw that the bride had not come out.
Inside Feng's house, Xie's face turned ashen.
Madam Liao's face was also very gloomy: "...The wedding sedan has arrived, but the person has run away. How do you want me to explain this to Madam, Lord Jie?"
Xie said coldly: "Whether Min'er left on her own or there was some other reason, I'm afraid we still don't know."
"Madam Feng packed her bags and left late at night. Your maid saw it with her own eyes. Do you think that Lord Jie is still trying to shirk responsibility?"
"My Feng family will report this matter to the authorities for a detailed investigation!" Xie said, and immediately sent someone to report the case to the government.
Seeing that Madam Liao did not stop it, Xie felt a little depressed. It seemed that it was not the Ming family who did it? She spoke toughly, but her heart was full of anxiety.
If this marriage fails, her son's official position will be lost, and the Ming family will be completely offended! That evil creature didn't escape earlier or later, but escaped on the eve of her wedding... The wedding sedan is still outside, how will she end up like this!
"Your family should report the case." Madam Liao sneered, "Otherwise, if they are left alone and cause trouble, it will be up to you, the county lord, to clean up the mess!"
This is a naked threat.
Xie pursed her pale lips and asked patiently, "I'm afraid we won't be able to find the person in a short time. The most urgent thing is to come up with a feasible plan as an excuse to the outside world—"
"Why not let the maid take Min'er's place in the sedan chair first?" Father Feng suggested urgently, "After finding Min'er, send her to your house immediately!"
We have to get the marriage done first! Mother Feng, who was wiping her tears, looked at her husband when she heard this - he could think of such an idea! His daughter ran away, obviously she didn't want to get married, but he was thinking of catching her back and sending her back! He wanted to get close to the Ming family... Why didn't he just take a pair of scissors and cut off the troublesome thing below, put on the veil and get into the sedan chair!
This idea is certainly absurd, but what is even more absurd is that if this method is really feasible, she believes that her husband will not hesitate at all in order to marry into the Ming family!
Faced with such a terrible husband, Feng's mother cried even louder for a moment.
Madam Liao sneered repeatedly, "Your mansion has a clear plan, but if you can't find her, do we, the Duke Ying's mansion, have to keep a maid as a concubine for the rest of her life? If your mansion forgets about her and comes to ask for her back, how can we explain it clearly? What else do we need to say to the outside world now? Just tell the truth!"
As she spoke, she no longer paid attention to the Feng family's words, and said to the wedding lady in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
Therefore, the wedding procession returned to the Ming family the same way it had come, and the sedan chair returned empty the same way it had gone.
Soon, the news spread throughout the city.
Duke Ying was so angry that he nearly fainted. Ming Jin, who had only agreed to wear the wedding dress after much persuasion from Chang, went crazy on the spot and smashed the wedding hall into pieces.
Chang had no time to pay attention to her crazy son. She walked out of the wedding hall in a state of anxiety. When she was going down the stone steps, she lost her balance and almost fell.
A hand held her steady.
Chang followed the slender white hand and looked at the person who came.
