Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Because there is a concubine sitting in the Ding Palace, all the staff of the Palace are very at ease, as if nothing happened at all, and everyone should do what to do, and they are not in a panic.It can be seen from this that the Yang family does have some tricks.

Wang Ziguang cared about the beautiful lady, and had lunch with Mu Ruofeng, so he didn't even bother to take a nap.Mu Ruofeng's servant rushed in from the outside, shouting, "My lord, the fourth lord and the others have all been sent back."

Mu Ruoxuan hurriedly asked, "Where's my second brother?"

The boy said, "Second Young Master fell and broke his leg, so he stayed in the hunting ground for treatment."

Wang Ziguang is worried about the backward medical conditions here, and he will be disabled if he is not careful.In modern times, people with disabilities are discriminated against. In ancient times, it was even stricter. A person with a disability would lose his inheritance rights, and he would not be able to be an official.

Wang Ziguang felt uncomfortable. It would be a pity if the second cousin, who is as gentle as a modest gentleman, is really disabled.

Mu Ruofeng didn't expect this, and only asked, "Is it important?"

The boy shook his head, originally meaning that he didn't know, but it was interpreted as nothing to worry about, the careless Mu Ruofeng ignored the second brother, and just said: "Let's go find the fourth brother."

Mu Ruofeng likes to imitate Mu Ruosong pretending to be a little adult, but in fact he is very edgy and quick-tempered, so he drags Wang Ziguang and runs away.

Mu Xize's courtyard was very close to Shizi Xian's Xianshiyuan. Wang Ziguang asked a maid to tell the concubine Shizi before entering the courtyard to find Mu Ruoshan.

Mu Xize's wife, Qian Shi, is Princess Ding's natal niece. Because she is a relative, Princess Ding is highly respected by Prince Ding. Had a great time.

She was wiping tears in the yard at the moment.

Mu Ruofeng asked in surprise: "Third Aunt, what's wrong with Fourth Brother? But he was injured?"

"No injuries."

"Then let's go in and find the fourth brother."

The third aunt stopped: "Auntie sent someone to your fourth brother's house to ask him about his situation at that time."

Wang Ziguang heaved a sigh of relief, if it was his beautiful lady who sent someone home for questioning, it meant that his beautiful lady had already controlled the situation. In short, no matter what kind of conspiracy, his sturdy beautiful lady still has a little fighting power. The situation will not continue to deteriorate.

Wang Ziguang felt strange again: his third aunt is not a person who likes to wipe tears.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the fourth cousin?

Before Mrs. Qian said anything, the people sent from inside came out, because the two maids who were sent to inquire about the backyard of the palace were not delicate, they should be Ping Wan's type with kung fu.The maid said: "Reporting to Madam, I didn't ask anything. There seems to be something wrong with the Fourth Young Master. Please find a doctor as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment."

Qian Shi hurriedly ordered someone to find a doctor, and hurried in to see Mu Ruoshan herself.

Mu Ruoshan is a lively and active monkey, but now he is like a frightened bird, shivering in the bed with the quilt rolled up, his forehead is covered with cold sweat, his eyes are dull, obviously frightened.

Qian cried even harder: "Son, you are trying to kill me, but you are talking." Mu Xi was busy, and she didn't like to hang around in the backyard. She gave birth to such a son.

Mu Ruofeng jumped onto the bed directly, knelt beside Mu Ruoshan, and shook him vigorously: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, don't be afraid, we're going home."

Wang Ziguang saw that Qian's crying was unreasonable, and felt that Mu Ruoshan's appearance was very abnormal, so he said to Qian: "Third aunt, let's talk to fourth brother, maybe he can listen to it."

"Yeah, although you haven't been here for long, Ashan likes you, so please persuade him not to be afraid."

"Yes, Auntie can go to the doctor, but the house is under martial law, so it's best to report to Second Aunt first."

"Okay!" Mrs. Qian went to look for the imperial concubine personally, thinking that it would be best to find an imperial doctor.

Wang Ziguang pulled Mu Ruofeng down and signaled him to be quiet.Looking closely at Mu Ruoshan's eyes, he began to speak: "Fourth brother, you are home, it is my mother, your aunt sent someone to send you here."

There was no reaction, his eyes were still blank, and his body was shaking.

"Grandfather is fine, the imperial doctor is saving him..."

Eyes wide open, there was a little reaction.

"Second brother was injured and broke his leg..."

The reaction was even bigger, especially when "Second Brother" was mentioned, Mu Ruoshan almost trembled!

Wang Ziguang rolled his eyes and continued: "The imperial doctor said that the second brother will be disabled, and he will limp and become lame when he walks..."

"Ah... um..." Mu Ruoyuan anxiously opened her mouth to ask, but Wang Ziguang, who had been prepared, covered her mouth and gave him a wink, motioning him to look at Mu Ruoshan.

Sure enough, Mu Ruoshan's eyes were fixed, and she trembled even more, her mouth moved, and she murmured softly, the voice was too small to be heard clearly.

Wang Ziguang got closer and heard him say: "I killed him, I killed him..."

Wang Ziguang asked: "Who did you harm? Second brother?"

"I killed him."

"Why did you hurt the second brother?" I asked patiently several times.

Mu Ruoshan began to stutter and said: "Second brother rode my horse..."

Wang Ziguang didn't know what was wrong with this sentence. When practicing riding and archery, brothers change horses and rides, just like modern people change cars and drive, there is no big problem.

Wang Ziguang had no choice but to say: "Fourth brother, the startled horse was an accident, you didn't kill second brother."

Mu Ruoshan jumped up in an instant, grabbed Wang Ziguang's thin neck and began to shake: "What do you know? What do you know? That bay red horse is my horse, and I relied on my second brother to change horses. The second brother had an accident. It was originally my horse, I was the one who threw the horse, and I killed my second brother."

Wang Ziguang was so pinched that he rolled his eyes, but fortunately Mu Ruoyuan quickly rescued him.

The neck is pinched blue.

Wang Ziguang coughed several times before recovering his voice and said, "It's just an accident, Second Brother won't blame you."

Mu Ruoshan shrank back into the bed with trembling body: "It wasn't an accident...it wasn't an accident..."

The pupils of Wang Ziguang's eyes shrank instantly - Mu Ruoshan must have known something, but the maid sent by his beautiful lady just now obviously didn't ask this potentially useful clue.Wang Ziguang felt that he couldn't let it go, so he slapped Mu Ruoshan with a "slap", which stunned him.

Mu Ruofeng yelled: "Fourth brother is scared to death, why are you still beating him?"

"He's a coward, of course I'm going to hit him."

"Nonsense, fourth brother is not a coward."

"Hmph, you're so scared to death that you don't dare to say anything, and you still say you're not a coward?" He yelled "coward" several times in Mu Ruoshan's ear.

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense..." Mu Ruofeng became anxious first.

Wang Ziguang said contemptuously: "It's really embarrassing for my grandfather, and I'm really worthless for my second cousin. One of them doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and the other is disabled, and this person..." hit Mu Ruoshan a few more times, "I only know how to tremble at home." , dare not say anything, coward!"

Mu Ruoshan roared, "I'm not a coward," and rushed forward to hit Wang Ziguang.Wang Ziguang was a small man who was almost strangled to death just now. Of course, he couldn't just sit still and run away nimbly, circling around in the small room.

Because most of the imperial physicians were in the hunting grounds, Qian came back with only the usual doctors in the mansion, with a surprised expression on his face: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Mu Ruoshan stopped, her body stood upright, she didn't shake anymore, her gaze was concentrated and gradually became firm - he just couldn't accept it for a while, and was terrified.

"Mother, I don't need a doctor, you go out first, I have something to tell my brothers."

Seeing that her son was fine, Mrs. Qian was only happy, and took the doctor away.

Mu Ruoshan frowned, and said to Wang Ziguang who had climbed up the big cabinet: "Cousin, come down quickly, don't fall off."

"Then you can't hit me."

"I won't hit you, really."

"A liar is a puppy."

"It's a puppy."

Wang Ziguang climbed down slowly, and when he landed, he was held down by Mu Ruoshan.

Mu Ruoshan grabbed Wang Ziguang by the collar, and stared at him viciously: "I lied to the puppy, puppy, how dare you call me a coward?"

Wang Ziguang was not convinced: "You lied to me like a puppy, you bastard, you don't look like a descendant of King Ding, you don't look like one at all."

Mu Ruofang also recalled that feelings are the way to provoke, and nodded accordingly: "Well, fourth brother coward, fourth brother puppy, you are not my brother."

Mu Ruoshan: "..." Maomao is a fool, which side are you on?

Everyone had something on their minds, so they didn't continue to fight.Mu Ruoshan let Wang Ziguang go, sat down on the ground, and hit her head hard.

Wang Ziguang stopped him and asked, "Fourth brother, how do you say that the shock of the horse was not an accident?"

Mu Ruoshan looked around.

Wang Ziguang said: "Don't be afraid, this is our own home."

Mu Ruofeng even ran to the door to take a look, then nodded, "There is no one else."

Mu Ruoshan whispered: "I was in a hurry to urinate in the hunting ground. I didn't have time to go to the toilet, so I turned to the stable to solve it. I heard someone talking..."

Wang Ziguang narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about?"

Mu Ruoshan said in a softer voice, "I heard someone say 'that bay red horse with a black tail has the best legs, don't make a mistake'."

"That's it?"

"That bay red horse was given to me by my father. I even took a look through the cracks in the fence. The person who spoke was the stableman who led the horse for me. I didn't know the other one. He was dressed like a Dingfeng from a palace. guard."

"They didn't see you?"

"No, they left before me."

"Then why didn't you say it then?"

"The stable boy who helped me lead the horse said such a sentence. I just thought they were cheating on me, because at that time, my brothers proposed to have a horse race."

"So your second brother Yang changed your horse?"

"Well, I don't want to be the number one by cheating." Mu Ruoshan cried, "The second elder brother was startled for some reason, and grandpa was assassinated, so I found out...it wasn't what I thought, they had a premeditated plan , and I... I switched horses with my second brother. They were going to kill me, but... it was me who killed my second brother..."

Wang Ziguang understood. At that time, the horseman said "the black-tailed bay red horse has the best foot strength" because the bay red horse ran faster when it was startled. The prince must be riding a first-class horse, so that he can chase away the guards behind him. .

Wang Ziguang asked Mu Ruoshan again: "Then do you dare to identify the murderer, find out the bad guys who killed Grandpa and Second Brother, and help them avenge?"

"Well, I dare!"

Mu Ruoshan immediately stood up, slapped her chest and said, "I'm not a coward, I'm a descendant of King Ding."

Wang Ziguang praised: "Good job."

Called Yunqi Yunding, Ankang and Antai four people, and only quietly reported to the concubine Shizi, and then under the secret arrangement of the concubine Shizi, several people were taken by Ping Lan and quietly stuffed into the room where the medicine was delivered to the prince. The convoy was escorted to the camp at Yuyuan Hunting Ground.

……

Royal Garden Hunting Ground.

Because of sufficient manpower, Mou Yuxiang was also ordered by Emperor Tianshu to fully cooperate with the investigation.Things went more smoothly than expected. More and more information was preliminarily screened and collected in Chaoyang's hands, and the situation gradually became clear.

According to the investigation, the black-tailed bay red horse was frightened because there was a small caltrop wrapped in cloth under the saddle, which was only the size of a small fingernail. It didn't hurt, but as he ran, the cloth strips loosened and the spikes were exposed. The horse was hurt by the thorn and started to run around.

According to the education after scaring the horse, Mu Ruobai hugged the horse tightly and clamped the horse's belly, which made the horse hurt even more and ran wilder...

We found four places to set up an ambush in the dense forest, probably because we couldn't control the direction of the startling horse, so we took multiple insurances.They were all equipped with tripping ropes, and the second tripping rope was used, letting Mu Ruobai's horse go mad, but tripping the prince's horse, so it can be seen that the target was the king.

King Ding's horse was so fast that he fell and broke his neck.The situation was dangerous at that time, if King Ding hadn't made a decisive decision and jumped up and grabbed the branches above his head to escape, he might have fallen to his death with his horse.

The people in ambush were all dead soldiers, and eight people in four points quickly gathered at the second ambush point, without defending themselves, they desperately besieged King Ding.King Ding was injured because of grabbing a branch, and soon fell to the disadvantage.Waiting for Fengwei to arrive, the five surviving people all escaped...

At that time, King Ding was only injured but not unconscious. Prince Xian thought that King Ding was fine, and he went to chase the enemy wherever he was willing to let the villain go.How can a dead man run away for his life, but to lure him into the urn.Dingfengwei, who was chasing Prince Xian, was blocked by five dead men, and Prince Xian was snatched away by a boat hidden in the river, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Everything was arranged seamlessly, and it seemed that it had been premeditated.

The guards with scouting experience said that these dead men had been lurking since last night. They all had signs of autumn mosquito bites on their bodies, and the grass nests where they were hiding did not have the moisture of night dew.It can be seen that the dead man hid for a night in advance.

This is the most frequently used hunting ground by the royal family, and the usual defenses are very tight. As Mu Ci said, such an assassination cannot be done without certain strength, and there must be an inner ghost. Know in advance that it is not the day of Fengba. Because Su Yan is on vacation as the young prince, the children will come to the hunting ground, and King Ding and Prince Xian will definitely follow.

Time, place, people's hearts, everything is so delicately controlled, the people behind the scenes should not be underestimated.

Chaoyang asked someone to identify them, and they all said that they had never seen these dead men, and they looked like they were from the Central Plains, not foreigners.

Who is better at checking the dead body?

Emperor Tianshou ordered to thoroughly investigate the matter, and the assistants from Dali Temple also came and found some clues.

The palms of the dead man's fingers showed signs of the latest abrasion and bleeding, like grasping a blunt object, and there were gravel sand in the nails.It is preliminarily inferred that they climbed up from a cliff on the edge of the hunting ground so as not to alarm anyone.

There is a natural danger there, and it is almost impossible for someone to climb up, so the defense is almost equal to nothing.

Someone immediately went to the edge of the cliff to investigate, and sure enough, they found two traces of hemp rope wear on the edge of the cliff.Mou Yu was convinced, and climbed down the cliff relying on the ability of the first master, and found the abandoned long hemp rope and climbing traces.

These long ropes are not documented.The guards and servants of the Yuyuan hunting ground are all named and traceable, and the things they bring every day are also checked.But there are unspoken rules everywhere, even in the palace, you can pass some things quietly, and it is not uncommon to get some long ropes in in violation of the rules.

But it's a clue anyway.

Anhua and Feng Jiu led the people calmly, and brought back all the people who had left halfway from yesterday evening to today when the incident happened.After an inventory, it was reported that a stable boy was missing from the stables.

This caught Chaoyang's attention.

Because this horseman is the one who waits on the black-tailed bay red horse that includes Mu Ruobai's startling horse.

All the exits did not report that the stableman had gone out, so the stableman was either silenced or hid.No matter how big the hunting ground is, you have to dig three feet to find people. You need to see people when you are alive, and you need to see corpses when you die.

Chaoyang transferred the manpower who was best at interrogating confessions among the imperial guards, and also borrowed manpower from Dali Temple.

Because this was a huge case, Dali Temple Minister Lu Bingchen put down his work and personally brought all the Dali Temple troops to the Yuyuan Hunting Ground.

Because it is the closest to Tianjing City and the scenery is good, it is a place that princes and nobles prefer to come here for recreation. Some noble women also like to go here for outings, horseback riding and hunting.

The city of Tianjing is in the north, and the women are quite tough.

Therefore, the assassination case happened here, which almost stepped on the bottom line of all high-ranking nobles, including Emperor Tianshou - even King Ding dared to assassinate. Next time, who will be assassinated?

Because of King Changle's instructions, everyone in the hunting ground, including the guard Dingfengwei, cooperated with the inquiry.The confessions can basically be connected back and forth, with only occasional discrepancies in some details.Lu Bingchen, Minister of Dali Temple, has many years of experience in questioning cases, and he could not find any major mistakes in the confession.

There are more than 300 copies, and the head is getting bigger after reading it.

Looking at the confession, Chaoyang had a splitting headache and asked Ping Wan: "Where is King Changle? What are you doing?" She called Ping Wan, who has the ability to protect herself, to serve her closely. To take care of Wang Ziguang.

Ping Wan replied: "Just after I fell asleep, the Eldest Young Master said that I can't disturb you."

Chaoyang rubbed his temples: "He is really calm." He was so calm, it was the first time in his life that he was out of the palace, and he was not interested in walking around, just eating and sleeping.

If Wang Ziguang is here, he must complain that Changle King is a complex of foodies and sleep gods with the attributes of a dead house.

"What is Ah Song doing?" He didn't come to help either.

Ping Wan looked strange, and said: "I said I was afraid that King Changle would not sleep well, so I wanted to accompany him." The eldest son was being used as a pillow by a beautiful young man, the picture was so beautiful (really beautiful), Ping Wan didn't dare to elaborate.

Chaoyang: "..."

Her eldest nephew usually looks very capable, but he was eaten to death by Mu Ci. It really... has a wife and forgets his mother.

Strange, how did you come up with this description?It must be the illusion that I didn't eat a good lunch.

At this time, Ping Lan brought Wang Ziguang, Mu Ruoshan, and Mu Ruofeng over, and brought a more important message.

After Chaoyang heard this, he said, "Ah Shan, there is indeed a horseman missing from the hunting ground. I have gathered all the other horsemen. Find out if they are among them."

Mu Ruoshan quickly finished the recognition, and shook her head——the missing groom was the one who led the horse for him.

Sure enough, it was an important clue. Anhua stepped up his search efforts, hoping to find the stable boy as soon as possible.

Mu Ruoshan, the other person who was talking to the horse herder, only saw a back view, and only knew that he was dressed as a wind guard, tall and strong.Only then did Chaoyang understand that it was reasonable for King Changle to ask everyone to be questioned, including the guards of the palace.

Because Ding Wang's Jue Xue is the overlord's spear, and the spear is a long weapon. If you want to play well, you must be tall, otherwise you will not be able to use it.Therefore, most of Dingfengwei are tall and strong men with big arms and round waists, their backs are very similar, and the clues can be said to be temporarily interrupted.

Just wait for Mu Ci to wake up, let him see if there are any new clues.

Chaoyang took Wang Ziguang and others to visit King Ding.

King Ding was out of danger, and the imperial doctor was helpless after that.The poison in King Ding was very different, not dangerous, his breathing was steady, his face was more rosy than usual, as if he was asleep.But no matter what the imperial doctor thought of, he couldn't wake him up.Chaoyang was heartbroken and relieved, at least his life was saved, and he didn't suffer much.

A group of people came out again and went to another barracks to see Mu Ruobai.

Mu Ruobai was still in a coma, with multiple injuries to his head and body, his arms were also wrapped in bandages, and one leg was fixed on a wooden plank, but blood was still oozing out.

Wang Ziguang heaved a sigh of relief, now that the fracture is splinted, the probability of disability is reduced a little.Just to see the fourth cousin's face flushed and dripping with cold sweat, like a high fever after infection.

Not so good.

The imperial doctor was trying to cool down and feed the medicine, and the group withdrew, but Mu Ruoshan insisted on staying to take care of Mu Ruobai, so everyone had to let him, hoping that he could alleviate a little guilt.

Chaoyang understands that this feeling of guilt is not intentional, but it is indeed his fault.Just like she killed her elder brother Zhenshizi, this kind of self-blame and guilt can swallow all a person's happiness.

……

When everyone returned to the barracks that served as a temporary command post, Chaoyang had a headache and asked, "King Changle is still awake?"

Now Ping Lan is serving, she went out to ask Ping Wan, but Ping Wan still shook his head.When Ping Lan replied, Chaoyang began rubbing his temples again, taking calming breaths secretly.

Wang Ziguang asked curiously, "Mother, is Changle King here?"

Now Changle King has almost become the idol of the whole people, the male god of great luck, it is said that he is the Ziwei star who "comes from the stars" and descended to earth, and he is said to be miraculous.Wang Ziguang was very curious about this fellow, but it was a pity that he was raised in a deep palace, but his beautiful lady never took him into the palace to see the beauty of the sky.

"Well, taking a nap..." Chaoyang's tone was very resentful.

Mu Ruofeng wanted to think out of the way, and asked, "Is the eldest brother here too?" He is the official attendant of King Changle.

Chaoyang nodded.

"Oh, I'm going to look for my elder brother!" Although Mu Ruofeng was fatter, but following his father, he was extremely nimble and rushed out with a "swish".

Neither Chaoyang nor Ping Lan stopped her.

Wang Ziguang was "afraid" that he would get into trouble, so he followed quickly...
