Chapter 229 Gong Jin's Complaint
Gong Jin obediently followed the secret guard.
Wei Qingyan glanced at the battle situation outside. Shi Yu and his men had the upper hand, so she blew a whistle outside the door.
Du Xueyi, who was wearing night clothes and covering his face while fighting with the secret guards, received the order and quietly withdrew from the battle.
"Boss."
After a while, Du Xueyi appeared in front of Wei Qingyan.
"Go to the palace gate and wait. Tell others that you will have to wait until the palace gate opens. You will go into the palace to ask for permission to search Prince Jing's mansion again." Wei Qingyan ordered in a male voice.
Du Xueyi looked at the unconscious King Jing on the ground. Years of tacit understanding made him quickly understand Wei Qingyan's meaning. He whispered, "Then I got the news that the Flying Thief had indeed entered King Jing's mansion.
I was worried something had happened to Prince Jing, so I couldn't wait for the palace gates to open, so I rushed to Prince Jing's mansion again and asked for a search. Is that the case?"
He guessed Wei Qingyan's intention exactly.
Wei Qingyan nodded, "You should prepare the clues about the Flying Thief in time."
Du Xueyi curled his lips and revealed a confident smile, "Don't worry, Boss. I won't let them see any flaws."
The Flying Thief killed people and stole things, which was extremely despicable. It is not unfair for him to be blamed for this.
He paused, looking at the man lying on the ground like a dead dog, "You want to throw him back to Prince Jing's Mansion yourself? It's too dirty. How about I find someone to do it?"
Wei Qingyan shook his head, "No need, go and get ready quickly."
Upon hearing this, Du Xueyi did not insist any longer. He found a secluded place, changed into ordinary clothes, and led his men straight to the palace gate.
Wei Qingyan summoned another secret guard and said, "Try to inform my brother-in-law about what happened here and ask him to find Jin'er in time."
The secret guards received orders to sneak into the night.
Wei Qingyan poured some powder on the little ghost to cover up the strong smell of blood on him, and then glanced at Shi Yu outside the house.
Shi Yu seemed to sense something and looked over. Their eyes met. She nodded slightly at him, then bent down, picked up the little ghost, climbed out of the back window, and headed straight for Prince Jing's Mansion.
On the other side, Gong Mingcheng was leading people to search for his son. A man dressed as an ordinary citizen saw them and shouted, "Sir, help! Sir, there are criminals committing crimes in the west of the city! There are criminals committing crimes in the west of the city..."
After briefly explaining the situation in the west of the city, he whispered to Gong Mingcheng, "Sir, it's okay. He's in the west of the city."
Gong Mingcheng immediately realized that this was Wei Qingyan's man. When he learned that his son was safe, tears couldn't help but flashed in the corners of his eyes.
He wiped it away carelessly with his hand and said to the officers behind him, "There is someone reporting to the police in the west of the city. Follow me to the west of the city."
An officer said, "Sir, the young master has not been found yet. How about I take my men to the west of the city and you continue to look for him?"
Gong Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Let's go to the west of the city first to see what's going on."
Some of the officials respected Gong Mingcheng even more, while others thought he was a little silly. Ordinary people were not as important as their sons.
Gong Mingcheng took in everyone's expressions and said to one of the leaders, "This is an emergency. Those of you with good skills, go over there first."
The leader thought that his lord had no martial arts skills and would indeed slow down their speed, so he did not dare to delay and let the man who reported to the police lead the way.
The man hurriedly said, "I've been running all the way and I really can't walk anymore. I heard that the perpetrator is a powerful person in the capital, and I can't afford to offend him, so as to avoid retaliation in the future. Please let me go, sir."
The officers had encountered people who secretly reported to the authorities but did not dare to reveal their identities before, so they did not think much about it. They left a few people to protect Gong Mingcheng, and the rest ran to the west of the city first.
Those who stayed were Gong Mingcheng's confidants. He hurriedly asked the man, "Tell me in detail, how did your master arrange it?"
The man looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he whispered to Gong Mingcheng about Wei Qingyan's rescue of Gong Jin and her arrangements.
"Master Gong, although the young master is protected by secret guards, to avoid any accidents, please hurry over and cooperate."
"Thank you, I'll go this way." Gong Mingcheng said this and started running.
In order to protect Gong Jin's reputation, Qing Yan had him sent to another small courtyard in the west of the city, and then captured the guards around King Jing from King Jing's mansion and brought them to that small courtyard.
It was created to look like the guards of Prince Jing's mansion had captured Gong Jin, and when they arrived, Gong Jin would have killed the guard.
But if we want everyone to believe that Gong Jin was indeed kidnapped by the guards of Prince Jing's Mansion, there will inevitably be a fight.
Swords and knives have no eyes. When Gong Mingcheng thought that his son might be in danger, he wished he could escape from the sky and run away.
He arrived almost at the same time as the leader and others.
The officer was curious about how his master could come so quickly, but seeing that he was out of breath from running, he didn't bother to ask any more questions.
Because they had already seen a small courtyard, outside which a few people were peeking and talking about something.
Seeing the officer coming, a man hurriedly said, "Sir, it seems someone has committed a crime here."
"What's going on?" asked an officer.
"It seems some powerful person has kidnapped a young man and wants to teach his wife's family a lesson.
I don't know whether to say that the young man was lucky or unlucky, he broke free and was about to escape when he was discovered again. Now he is fighting with the guards of the powerful family.
He pointed at a dagger on the ground and said, "There was too much noise in there, and a knife just flew out. We want to help, but we don't have the ability to go in. I hope you can forgive me."
As soon as he said this, the others who were watching the excitement, fearing that the officials would blame them, also hurriedly said, "Yes, it's not that we are standing idly by, it's really that we can't afford to provoke them."
Gong Mingcheng knew that there must be Wei Qingyan's men among these people, and they would try to stop the people from entering to prevent them from seeing the real situation inside the house. He also knew that Gong Jin was protected by secret guards.
But when he saw the blood-stained dagger on the ground, his heart rose to his throat again and he hurried inside.
"Sir, please be careful. Let me go in and take a look first." An officer stopped him.
Gong Mingcheng was worried about his son and did not stop walking. The officer had to quickly draw his sword to protect him.
When everyone entered the house, they saw Gong Jin being pinned down by a guard. The guard was holding a dagger against Gong Jin's neck, and if he pushed it down a little further he would have cut Gong Jin's throat.
Gong Jin resisted with all his might.
"Jin'er." Gong Mingcheng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward and pulled the guard.
The guard lost his strength as he was pulled by him. Gong Jin reacted very quickly and snatched the dagger from the guard's hand and thrust it into the guard's heart.
Blood spurted out of the guard's mouth. The guard widened his eyes and could no longer utter a word. He was pushed to the ground by Gong Jin.
Completely out of breath.
Until his death, he never figured out why he suddenly fainted while pretending to be a prince in the palace. When he woke up, he saw this young man trying to kill him.
His survival instinct made him fight back. Fortunately, he was better than the boy and was about to kill him, but he was thrown off balance by a group of people who suddenly broke in.
A brave commoner followed behind him and saw this scene. He said in fear, "Fortunately, the officials arrived in time, otherwise this young man would have been in trouble."
"Yes, the criminal is so arrogant that he wants to kill his wife's family just to teach her a lesson."
…
Gong Mingcheng didn't bother to listen to the people's comments and hurriedly helped his son up. "Jin'er, where are you hurt?"
Gong Jin's face was covered in blood sprayed by the guards, and he looked horrible. He pointed to his thigh and said aggrievedly, "I tried to escape, but he found me and injured my leg."
Gong Mingcheng hurried to check and saw that Gong Jin's thigh was indeed cut by the dagger, and he felt heartbroken.
But he soon realized that Wei Qingyan's men were protecting him in the dark, so how could anyone hurt his son? His son must have deliberately allowed the guards of Prince Jing's Mansion to injure him in order to make the play more realistic and prove the crime of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Although he felt heartbroken, being cut was better than having his reputation tarnished by King Jing. He patted his son's shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Gong Jin heard his father's gritted teeth and knew that he could not hide the self-harm from his father. However, he explained to his father that it happened after he returned home.
Now, he should expose the crime of King Jing, so he complained loudly, "Dad, he is a guard of King Jing's mansion, and King Jing asked him to arrest me.
He said that if Aunt Wanyi dared to divorce him, he would kill her family members to give her a warning.
He also said that if Aunt Wanyi still did not change her mind, the next one to die would be her child. He said that he was a prince of the current dynasty and could marry a princess in the future, and there would be plenty of women to bear his children.
Dad, this bad guy must have bullied Aunt Wanyi so much that she wanted to divorce him. You and mother must save Aunt Wanyi and the two children..."
As Gong Jin was speaking, he fainted in Gong Mingcheng's arms.
"Yes, we heard it outside too."
The people agreed, but they didn't know that those words were said by Wei Qingyan's secret guards imitating the tone of the guards of Prince Jing's Palace.
I don't know who started it, but they all started cursing King Jing.
King Jing, who was scolded by everyone, was left in King Jing's Mansion by Wei Qingyan. He woke up slowly amidst a burst of noise.
