No matter how unwilling he was, the young man in gray robe still got on Zheng Ruqian's carriage and was taken to the hospital in the city.
After all, it was a serious matter involving a chest injury and there was no room for delay.
The rest of the people sat on donkey carts, smelling the strong smell of sheep, and returned to the second entrance courtyard when the sky was dark.
It was supposed to be a resting spot, but the lights were on.
The new-looking Zheng Ruqian sat on the stool, as honest as a quail, listening to his elder brother's lectures.
Fortunately, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were not here, otherwise he would still have to face the strange crowds and two big tearful eyes.
After finally seeing Jiang Sheng, he almost ran over, checked up and down to make sure he was alive and kicking, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, look, I said my sister will be fine."
Xu Mo didn't say anything, but quickly stepped forward to check. He felt relieved after confirming it with his own eyes.
"You deal with the sheep first." He waved his hand and looked at Jiang San, "Where is the murderer?"
Flocks of sheep were sent to the Baishui workshop, and long-term workers who had traveled long distances were also arranged to rest. Even Wang Xiaosong was helped to get a massage by his sister Wang Xiaozhu.
Jiang San was finally able to carry the assailant who was tied into a rice dumpling, and he breathed and said, "He's still alive, but he's just asleep."
Xu Mo frowned as he pondered.
Compared with Jiang Sheng's instinctive feeling that something was wrong, he was sure that something was fishy almost immediately.
It's just that this person is too cunning.
He first created an honest and honest image of himself, weakened Jiang Sheng's wariness by easily turning around, and then defeated Jiang Sheng's wariness by being a hero saving a beauty and getting injured himself, and he did not kill anyone to silence her, thus removing the last trace of suspicion.
In the end, he faltered and used cruel tricks to make the little girl feel unbearable.
There was only one carriage left at that time. As long as Jiang Sheng took him back to Fengjing, rumors spread that the Jiang family would marry their legitimate daughter to him because of their reputation.
The biggest calculation in this is that if it were Jiang Chengyu, who had a father and mother to protect him, and a brother who worked hard, even if there were rumors, they might not get married.
On the other hand, Jiang Sheng's father and brother are not around, his mother is stupid and delirious, and only his only grandmother is left, who is also old and frail.
If she hadn't had several half-brothers, if she hadn't been so wary, and if she hadn't happened to meet Zheng Ruqian, she might have really fallen into that person's trap.
But despite all his efforts, he never expected that Jiang Sheng's biggest backers had never been the Jiang family, but her brothers.
"This person looks down on me as the number one scholar in a new subject, looks down on the second child who is doing business, and even looks down on the third child who is marching outside, and the fourth child who practices medicine." Xu Mo murmured, "But he will definitely not be able to find out, we also have a fifth child. "
A fifth prince who rarely appears in front of the world and is now hidden in the palace, ready to take action at any time.
It's a pity that Zheng Ruqian sent the person to the hospital and let him sneak away without realizing it. He still hasn't figured out his identity yet.
"It's all my fault. I thought he was really brave enough to do justice, but I didn't know he would run away." Zheng Laoer lowered his head and returned to his quail appearance.
It seems that this is what I was trained on just now.
"Okay, I don't blame you." Xu Mo shook his head, "It's too easy for someone with such a sophisticated strategy to leave."
So what if you don't leave, the plan has failed, and exposing your identity again will be the biggest loss.
"Then you criticized me just now." Zheng Ruqian was indignant, but after receiving his elder brother's cold eyes, he wilted again.
Jiang San and Jiang Si were covering their mouths and laughing next to them. Not surprisingly, they were struck by the concern in the eyes of the second young master, and they immediately became silent.
It is a truth in the world that one thing descends from another.
Only Jiang Sheng was not afraid of anyone, pacing with his hands behind his back, "Then let's interrogate the perpetrator, and won't we know everything?"
It's theoretically possible.
But will a person who is so scheming that he even tries all his tricks to save a hero really leave any obvious flaws?
Xu Mo was skeptical.
He asked Jiang San and Jiang Si to interrogate him, wrote a letter himself, and sent it to Dou Mansion the next day, to be delivered by Mrs. Dou when she visited the old concubine in the palace.
The assailant was quite tough-talking. He used all kinds of whips and chili peppers and still didn't spit out his mouth. He was not afraid of having his feet scratched with goose feathers. He was even able to hold back when sheep dung balls were put into his mouth.
It wasn't until Wang Xiaosong took off his pants and was about to castrate him that the assailant struggled to speak, "Yes... it's the fourth prince."
This answer was beyond everyone's expectation. If Jiang Sheng hadn't personally met the fourth prince in the imperial city, the frame-up and slander would have come true.
Jiang San was furious, so he took the big scissors used to castrate the pig, heated them with a hot iron until they were red, and then made gestures at his abdomen.
The perpetrator's scalp was numb and he confided again, "It's... it's the second prince..."
Jiang San learned the lesson this time, his expression did not change, and he opened his belt again with one hand.
The perpetrator finally collapsed completely and confessed in a howl, "Yes, it's the eldest prince..."
First the fourth prince, then the second prince, and now the eldest prince.
The three princes were all censored, and it was unclear which one was right and which one was wrong, which one was true and which one was false.
Even Xu Mo was confused and didn't know the truth.
Is he the eldest prince, the second prince, or the son of the Chu family behind the fourth prince?
Only Zheng Ruqian was generous enough. While thinking about how to sell the mutton, he comforted his elder brother, "Don't worry, didn't you send a message to Xiaowu? He will definitely find the instigator behind it."
Since it can't be observed from the outside, break it from the inside.
In fact, after receiving the letter, Chang Yan started to test it as soon as possible.
The first is the fourth prince.
The two brothers have a close relationship and live together in the East and West houses. They can talk to each other just by visiting each other.
It's just that the fourth prince seems to be very gloomy about the Yao family's attitude. He often hides in his room and doesn't talk, and doesn't even want to be exposed to the sun.
The whole thing is a state of deep emotional hurt.
After a long banquet, the fourth prince was willing to accompany him for a few steps in the imperial garden and drink a lot of wine and dew.
"Why doesn't Miss Yao like me? What's wrong with me? How come my majestic prince is not good enough for her? Why do I need to recruit a son-in-law?" The fifteen-year-old boy cried loudly while tugging on his younger brother's sleeve.
Chang Yan comforted and inquired, and learned that the Chu family did not have any young people of seventeen or eighteen years old.
He smiled slightly, and after the fourth prince was drunk, he asked his guards to send him back to the Third West Palace.
Then there is the eldest prince. Chang Yan used some of his connections to find out that he was a guest at the Dou family when the incident happened. After all the good things he said, the daughter of the Dou family still refused to show his face. In the end, Dou Weiming accompanied him. Half a day of chess.
The timing of the news may not be accurate, but it is something the eldest prince can do.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" the personal guard asked in a low voice, "Should we go to the second prince to test him?"
Chang Yan had cold eyes, clasped his hands tightly, and said after a while, "No need."
He's already here.
Just as the sound was rising and falling, a young man in gray robe appeared at the entrance of the imperial garden. He said in a naive manner, "Fifth Emperor Brother, I have found what you want."
