Chapter 552 A Bigger Accident Caused by the Sneak Attack

It turned out that when they were talking, the open carriage of Hejian County King, which was hung with clear soft silk on all sides, suddenly had a wheel cracked, and the carriage slammed and fell to the side.Before the horse pulling the cart could react, it was pulled back by the stationary cart, and was so startled that it raised its hooves and neighed continuously.

Not only that, but now that the carriage was driving on the lake embankment, the carriage tilted to the side and began to slide directly along the embankment. The people in the carriage were about to slide along the embankment and into the lake!

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help screaming.

And the two people sitting in the car seemed stunned by this series of reactions.Seeing the carriage slid down and down, the eldest lady realized that she quickly grabbed the arm of Prince Hejian, jumped up and grabbed a weeping willow beside her.

"Grandpa Jun Wang, hold me tight, don't let go!" the eldest lady said loudly.

As early as the moment there was a problem with the carriage, Li Xiang rushed over on his horse.When he arrived, he happened to see the eldest lady dragging Hejian County King to grab the willow branches beside the embankment.

The willow branches are weak and cannot withstand much force, but there are still two people hanging on them now... In addition, the embankment is relatively steep, if they land on the ground, it is very likely that they will not be able to stand, and then continue to roll into the lake with the carriage go!
Realizing this, Li Xiang's eyes dimmed, and he quickly got off his horse and threw the whip towards the eldest lady: "Catch it! I'll pull you up!"

Now is not the time to be hypocritical.The eldest lady made a decisive decision, and the moment the horsewhip came over, she let go of the willow branch, and firmly grasped the horsewhip with one hand.Li Xiang pulled hard again, and with great difficulty, both of them were dragged to the case.

It was only at this time that the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

This girl has always been aloof, stubborn and self-satisfied, and he has hardly seen her in such a devastated state in these years.Li Xiang watched her sitting there with no image, and couldn't help but feel a tug in his heart, so he subconsciously stepped forward to try to comfort her.

In the end, who knows, the eldest lady took a breath, and immediately turned around and grabbed Hejian Junwang: "Grandpa Junwang, are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"Don't worry, I'm not injured. It's just that I'm old, and I haven't experienced such a thrilling thing for a long time. My legs are weak for a while, and I can't stand up. Please let me sit for a while, first slowly." King Hejian waved his hand, There was a bit of embarrassment in the soft smile on his face.

The eldest lady burst out laughing.

"It turns out that you, Grandpa County King, are also frightened sometimes?"

"It's inevitable, I'm a human too!" Prince Hejian patted his chest, his face still a little pale.

The eldest lady also let out a sigh of relief. "That's right, I was almost scared to death this time. In fact, I'm not afraid of falling into the water, but if something happens to you, Grandpa County King, what should I do!"

Li Xiang stood aside with his hands tied, watching the two survivors talking, laughing and expressing their feelings together, his face slowly became gloomy again.

Not long after, there was another rush of hoofbeats, Dalangjun, Nanshan and Erlangjun came over, Dalangjun and Nanshan each had a person in their hands.

When they arrived in front of King Hejian, they threw them down: "It's them! Before the incident, I saw the two of them sneaking around and following your carriage from a distance. After the incident, these two people quickly disappeared If you put something in your arms, you will run away. This must have something to do with them!"

Prince Hejian immediately glanced over coldly.

Li Xiang's eyes darkened when he heard the words, and he glanced at the two men quietly.

The eldest lady did not give up.But maybe it was because she escaped a catastrophe, she still had a smile on her face, and her eyes were even more shining, but somehow it made people feel chills in their hearts.

Seen by so many pairs of eyes, the two people dressed as civilians were terrified.

"It's not us! It's really not! Before we even started, the carriage broke down!" A man blurted out with his mind blank.

"Ha, things have already happened, so you can push them as soon as you can. But do you think we are stupid?" Mr. Dalang sneered, and then said to Nanshan, "Take out the things they hid in their arms and have a look. .”

Nanshan got the order, and immediately tore open their skirts rudely, and pulled out a small crossbow from their arms.This is a specially made crossbow. The arrows inlaid on it are not the small flat arrows that are usually used to shoot small animals, but are long like a small shovel, with a front section about half a finger long. They were all extremely sharp, and if you took a piece of hair and blew it lightly, it immediately broke in two.

"Mr. Dalang, this is an arrowhead forged from fine iron from the Western Regions!" Nanshan said immediately.

Moreover, if such a wide section is shot on the wheel, the wheel is very likely to be cut off.Then, the sudden sideways fall of the car can be explained.

Everyone looked at this thing with fear in their eyes.

When King Hejian saw this, a stern look appeared in his eyes: "Who sent you? This king has never had any grudges with others. Why did you frame me like this?"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the two couldn't help but flinch.A person's eyes turned cold, Nan Shan immediately stepped forward and grabbed his chin.With a click, the man's jaw was removed.

"He wants to kill himself by biting his tongue!" After finishing his work, Nanshan turned around and said the last sentence.

Such a sharp method, such a simple and rude action, frightened the other person to turn pale.

Only then did the eldest lady put away the smile on her face, but the light in her eyes shone brighter and brighter.She slowly walked up to the remaining person: "This kind of fine iron is not something ordinary people can get. Tell me, who ordered you to come? Are you aiming at me or the Hejian County King?"

The man looked at the eldest lady, then at the king of Hejian, and suddenly said loudly: "I was sent by Li Zhongshu! It was because of the king of Hejian that Li Zhongshu was reduced to where he is today. The king of Hejian County hates it very much, but because he couldn't find a chance to retaliate, he has been wasting until now. Today I learned that you are going out for an outing, so I sent us to take your life!"

"Nonsense. Li Linfu has no chance to touch such fine iron now." Li Xiang said suddenly.

"As long as you have the heart, this is not a problem at all. Li Zhongshu's disciples are all over the world. As long as he raises his arms, there are many people who will help him realize his wish!"

Hearing what he said, everyone laughed, but the look in his eyes became more meaningful.

Today's weather is fine and suitable for outings. The government also sent people to take precautions to prevent accidents or fights.So when they saw that something happened here, especially it was related to the King of Hejian County, the yamen servants didn't dare to delay, so they immediately went to invite the head catcher.When the head catcher arrived in a hurry, he saw that they had already caught all the perpetrators, and he was sweating profusely.

"The official is late, please forgive the crime of Hejian County King and Hanoi County Lord!"

"It's okay, you came very quickly." Prince Hejian said, pointing at the two men, "These two men were captured by Mr. Cui's family, and we also found weapons from them, you take them back for interrogation Interrogation. The carriage fell into the lake, and I need to ask you to help fish it out."

"No trouble, no trouble, this is what we should do." Catcher hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly sighed in his heart that today he met the Prince of Hejian who doesn't like to make trouble.Otherwise, if it were any noble person, I'm afraid he would have already pointed his nose and scolded him bloody.And he had no choice but to pretend to be his grandson.

After King Hejian finished speaking, the guards of the palace had calmed down the pulling horse and brought it over.

The King of Hejian smiled apologetically at the eldest lady: "It seems that we can't go back by car today. Let's ride a horse then!"

"Okay!" The eldest lady nodded heartily.

Up to this point, everything was handed over to the government, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.The Hejian County King seemed to have noticed Li Xiang's existence at this time, so he hurried forward and said, "This time, I would like to thank Mr. Li Erlang for your help. Mr. Li Erlang is very heroic and chivalrous, which is really admirable. Changing Japan Wang will order someone to send a generous gift as a thank you."

"The king of the county is overwhelmed, I just did what I can do." Li Xiang said in a deep voice, but his eyes drifted uncontrollably to the big lady.

The eldest lady didn't seem to see it.She Shi Shiran came forward and bowed to Li Xiang: "Thank you Li Erlang for saving me today. I don't thank you for your kindness. My daughter has no way to repay you. You can only go home and tell your elders, and then ask them to send someone to thank you. "

Li Xiang slowly lowered his eyes. "No."

"It's necessary!" said the eldest lady.After saying this, she smiled at Hejian Junwang again, "Grandpa Junwang, you are frightened, why not go back quickly, I will give you acupuncture to suppress the shock!"

"Okay!" Duke Hejian nodded readily, and the two got on their horses and rode away immediately.

Li Xiang watched their figures go away, his eyelashes drooping even lower.

Seeing this, Mr. Da Lang couldn't help but shook his head and said, "If I knew today, why bother? But, in fact, it's still too late to regret it now."

Li Xiang raised his head immediately.

"No," he said.

Mr. Dalang raised his eyebrows. "No? Then you will suffer in the future."

Then he waved his whip: "Let's go!"

Li Xiang was left alone in the original terrain, describing Xiao Suo.

The king of Hejian County was assassinated during an outing, and the incident quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.

Yang Xuangui's wife, Mrs. Du, hurried to Concubine Yang again, crying more sincerely this time. "Your concubine, you must be the master of our family! We really didn't do this! Our people just followed them from afar without doing anything. Who knows why their carriage overturned? They never had time to start!"

"Do you think it's okay if you say it's not right now? Now that the evidence is complete, the carriage that fell in the lake has also been fished out, and the marks on it are exactly the same as the crossbow that was turned over from the suspect. The case is finalized! What's more, the assassination of the King of Hejian County is already a big event, but now, the murder weapon that was found was actually found on the refined iron that was only allowed to be used to forge weapons for the Qianniuwei who is close to the saint! This crime Once implemented, do you know what it means?"

Du Shi shuddered.

No matter how little she knows, she has broadened her horizons over the years, so she naturally knows that things like salt and iron have always been controlled by the government.Especially now that the amount of fine iron from the Western Regions is very small, and because the forged weapons are very sharp, they are directly controlled by the Ministry of War, and people outside the Ministry of War are extremely rare.Most of the refined iron was used to equip Qianniuwei with sidearms.The rest are sealed in the treasury of the Ministry of War, and will only be taken out for forging when needed in the future.

But such a good thing, people will naturally buy it at a high price for private use.But it's all the children of the nobles who get a little and play with it themselves.But now, this refined iron appeared on the thief who attacked Hejian County King, so this matter has to be investigated.And once you get to the bottom of it, it will inevitably involve many people, first of all, the heads of the Ministry of War are no exception!

It should be known that Li Linfu had infiltrated the Ministry of War many times before, and finally pushed his people to the position of servant.In the past two years, Yang Guozhong has taken over Li Linfu's jurisdiction over the Ministry of War, and just last month he withdrew the minister of the Ministry of War and replaced several important positions with his own people.As a result, the talent went up, and this happened.Then Yang Guozhong can't keep the people he cultivated with great difficulty.

Not only that, but if the incident continues to escalate and shocks the saint, and the saint decrees that it must be thoroughly investigated, then their Yang family is very likely to be implicated!
However, King Hejian almost fell into the lake again, and his carriage was destroyed again. As long as he went to the saint and cried and complained, even if Concubine Yang was favored again, she would not be able to protect all the Yang family!

Therefore, the attack on the county king is minor, but what is more important is the unearthed iron from the Western Regions!

Du Shi figured this out, and was a little confused for a while. "Then, what should we do then? Madam, we really didn't do this!"

"Could it be that you really plan to put the blame on Li Linfu? Do you think Li Linfu will agree?" Yang Guifei sneered.

Even if Li Linfu loses power, he will never allow someone to put such a shit bowl on his head.And... very likely, he is about to make a move.After all, if he doesn't make a move, is he still waiting to be bitten back?
Concubine Yang waved her hand powerlessly: "I've already told you what I need to say. Auntie should hurry back and find uncle and cousin to discuss how to solve the matter! Now there are two things in front of you, you must They have to be taken into account, and none of them can be missed! Also, remember, the central character is the King of Hejian County!"

This Hejian County King is really amazing!If you don't usually make a move, once you make a move, there must be a big commotion.Last time it was Li Linfu, now it's their Yang family's turn...

And there was only one reason why he would make trouble—the Cui family!
