I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 523 Assassination
"Master, don't need to say anything, just treat me, Li Li, as a white-eyed wolf." Li Li, who was slumped on the ground at the moment after being tortured, looked up at the disappointed Zhifu Jiao, and said indifferently: "It's just that everyone is the master. .”

The magistrate Jiao would rather Li Li was bought by Jiao Lianyu, so even if he opened the letterhead privately, it would only be the Jiao family's business.

But if Li Li was bought by outsiders, the prefect of Jiao couldn't imagine how many confidential news had been passed on by Li Li in these years. If all the news was leaked by Li Li, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Father, since Li Li won't open his mouth, it's better to lock him up first and then make a long-term plan." Jiao Lianyu's expression was disturbed, as if he was also worried about this matter. After all, there was a spy in the study, and this matter is no small matter.

Jiao Zhifu's face is solemn, even if he locks up people and tortures him severely, he may not open his mouth. Jiao Zhifu is also worried that the people behind Li Li will kill people to silence him. In this dangerous and sensitive period, Jiao Zhifu really dare not live more somethin'.

After a long silence, Zhifu Jiao took one last look at Li Li, who looked indifferent, and said to Steward Niu, "Put him down and lock him in the side room at the back."

"Yes, master." Butler Niu replied, this side room is in the northeast corner of the small garden behind the study, those who don't know it thought it was a place to store sundries, but in fact there is a universe inside.

This side room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, which are connected by a long and narrow corridor. There are two doors, one at the front and one at the back. The front door is made of thick logs, and the wood is inlaid with solid copper pipes as thick as a thumb, which is hard and firm.

The last door connected to the inner room is an iron door made by a blacksmith. The thick iron sheet is covered with hard granite. This door weighs a thousand catties. Once the door is locked from the outside, more than a dozen strong men cannot push it. open.

Li Li's always indifferent expression finally changed. He knew very well that once he was locked in a side room, he would not be able to step out of the room for the rest of his life unless prefect Jiao gave orders.

"Be careful!" an exclamation sounded.

The accident happened too quickly, not to mention that Zhifu Jiao was a civil servant, but Steward Niu, a practicing family member, didn't have time to react. Who would have thought that Li Li, who had been tortured and had both arms broken, would violently assassinate Zhifu Jiao.

The sharp dagger with long palms and thick fingers pierced his body, and the blood splashed away in an instant. Li Li, who was kicked out by the steward Niu, laughed loudly, and slammed his head hard against the wall. Out of breath.

"Lianyu!" Zhifu Jiao supported his second son standing in front of him, looked at the sharp knife that had almost completely penetrated his chest, and roared in distress, "Go and call the doctor!"

There was a bed in the study room, and when Jiao Lianyu was put on the bed by the nurse, the blood seeping from the wound had stained her clothes red. Jiao Lian usually reads behind closed doors, and her fair complexion was even less bloody at this time. If it wasn't for the weak breathing, I thought the person had already gone.

"Father, it's good that you're fine." He spoke intermittently, but it was just a short sentence. Jiao Lianyu had already exhausted his energy, and the severe pain from the wound made him feel a little dazed.

"Don't talk, save your strength, the doctor will be here soon." Zhifu Jiao held Jiao Lianyu's hand, and when he saw Xiongou, who was stained red with blood, he couldn't bear to turn his head.

If there was still a trace of doubt before, then after the second son recklessly blocked the fatal knife for himself, Zhifu Jiao only had remorse and self-blame.

The news that Jiao Lianyu was seriously injured in order to save Zhifu Jiao spread throughout the entire Jiaofu. Before Jiao Lianping was injured, the doctor happened to be staying at Jiao's house, so he hurried over with Yaotong.

Mrs. Jiao and Aunt Huang from the backyard also came together. They just looked at Zhifu Jiao with an unusually dignified expression, and at the blood stains on his official robe. No one dared to speak, and even slowed down their breathing.

In the room, Dr. Luo also frowned. He didn't expect that the eldest son Jiao Lianping was treated on this bed an hour ago, but the second son Jiao Lianyu was also lying here for more than an hour.

The most troublesome thing was that Jiao Lianping's wound looked serious, but it was actually a flesh wound from the whip. The whip wound on his cheek would not leave a scar as long as it healed well.

Jiao Lianyu's current injury is the most troublesome one. Although Dr. Luo has used silver needles to stop the bleeding, cut ginseng slices and put them in the unconscious Jiao Lianyu's mouth to hang himself, but the dagger that barely penetrated the chest is the most difficult to deal with.

Seeing that Dr. Luo hadn't spoken for a long time, Yaotong couldn't help asking: "Master, do you want to draw the knife?"

"The incision of the knife just blocked the blood vessels. Once it is pulled out, I am afraid that the gods of Da Luo will not be able to save it." Doctor Luo sullenly said that the knife was so hard that those who didn't know it thought it was aimed at the second son. Fate.

"You can't let the knife stay in your body." Yaotong answered blankly. Although the silver needle has stopped the bleeding, the wound will definitely continue to bleed after a while. If this delay continues, the second son will probably lose too much blood and died.

"Look first, I'll come as soon as I go." Dr. Luo wiped his face severely, then turned and walked out the door.

Hearing the movement here, with a swipe, Zhifu Jiao and Aunt Huang rushed over, "Doctor, how is my son?"

"My lord, the Second Young Master's situation is very difficult." Doctor Luo ignored Aunt Huang, but continued to Jiao Zhifu with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Almost all the dagger has entered the Second Young Master's body, once you pull out the dagger..."

Mrs. Jiao, who was sitting by the side, was slightly taken aback at the moment. She thought it was Jiao Lianyu's bitter trick, but she didn't expect it to be so dangerous. She would die from bleeding instantly if she drew the knife, or she would die from excessive blood loss if she didn't draw the knife.

Li Li is not from Jiao Lianyu?Mrs. Jiao and Mammy Niu looked at each other. Although the master and servant were puzzled, they didn't speak at the moment, and continued to listen to Dr. Luo talking about Jiao Lianyu's situation at this time.

"Doctor, you must save Lianyu..." Aunt Huang finally cried out, she was no longer as gentle and calm as before, and her blood-red eyes only contained worry and uneasiness for her son.

Zhifu Jiao closed his eyes fiercely, and when he opened them again, his eyes were much calmer, "Doctor Luo, please do your best. If you need any medicinal materials or any doctor's assistance, please speak up."

Dr. Luo is already the best doctor in Qianzhong Prefecture, and his specialty is trauma. Otherwise, Dr. Luo would not have come to treat Jiao Lianping after he was injured.

When Jiao Lianping came to the study, Dr. Luo had already said what he needed to say. If Jiao Lianyu drew out the sword, the chance of Jiao Lianyu's survival was almost less than [-]%, but he couldn't keep drawing the sword.

"Is he really going to die? Can't he be saved?" Jiao Lianping couldn't help muttering.

Although Mrs. Jiao said what he said, the study room was so quiet that a needle could be heard. As soon as Jiao Lianping said this, Zhifu Jiao and Aunt Huang immediately cast angry glances.

Doctor Luo's expression was also tangled for a moment. Rumor has it that the eldest son of the Jiao Mansion is incompetent and has been suppressing his concubine younger brother. Now it seems that this is true.

"Huh?" Dr. Luo was surprised for a moment, couldn't help but took a few steps forward, and his eyes fell on the wound on Jiao Lianping's face.

Dr. Luo treated the wound before, and he also took medicine, but the wound was a little deep, and the flesh was almost turned out, but after less than an hour, the swelling of the wound disappeared, and there were even signs of healing. The prescribed ointment has absolutely no such miraculous effect.

"Doctor Luo?" Mrs. Jiao asked, it was really too impolite for Doctor Luo's action, she almost leaned on Ping'er.

Turning around suddenly, Doctor Luo looked at Zhifu Jiao excitedly, "Which genius doctor saw the injury on the face of the eldest son? My lord, as long as this genius doctor takes action, the second son will be saved!"

……

Before Zhan Feiyu's carriage returned to his residence, he was stopped by Steward Niu with the guard.With the nursing home of the Jiao family leading the way, the carriage galloped towards Jiao's mansion.

He Nuan looked at Zhan Feiyu who was frowning and thinking, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, don't worry, although the servant girl is not skilled enough in medicine, this hemostasis powder should be able to save Jiao Lianyu's life."

When Zhan Feiyu was studying abroad, all kinds of medicinal materials and medicines were indispensable, some were sent by Gu Xueshi, and they were specially prepared by the imperial physician in the palace, and the rest were sent by Yin Wuyan.

The medicine produced by Jinlongwei must be high-quality, it cannot be said to bring the dead back to life, but as long as there is breath, at least it can hang life.

"Ah Nuan, do you feel that Li Li's situation is similar to that of He Nuan who was confessed by Tu Daniu back then?" Zhan Feiyu said slowly. Recruited.

The children kidnapped and sold by Tu Daniu are divided into two categories. One is to take advantage of the Chinese New Year holidays to stun and abduct the single children in the market.

The other is to create an accident, either the whole family is killed by bandits, or the house catches fire, and finally a lonely child is left and abducted. After this kind of child is trained, at least his loyalty can be guaranteed.

Li Li's hometown was hit by a mountain torrent, and his whole family died in the torrent. Li Li was the only child left, who was finally taken away by Jiao Zhifu.

Zhan Feiyu looked outside through the fluttering curtains of the carriage and continued: "The torrents happen during the daytime. When the torrents occur, the sound is loud and the speed is not fast. As long as the Li family hears the movement, they will be able to escape. Why did the whole family die in the In a collapsed house."

He Nuan nodded understandingly. This Li Li was probably a spy secretly cultivated by the old master. No wonder the prefect Jiao had saved his life, but he would betray him.
