【One hundred and ninetieth chapters】The front turns and the situation is in danger
That night, the blood in the banquet hall made the guests in the Protector's Mansion unable to sleep. They were restless, throbbing, fearful, and countless feelings intertwined, which was suffocating.
The next morning, at dawn, Deng Qing invited all the guests in the guest room to the reception hall, explained in detail what happened last night to them, and sincerely apologized to all the guests.
After lunch, when everyone was about to return home, Deng Qing went to visit one by one, leaving behind the leaders of various border departments and county magistrates of each county. A group of people gathered in the middle of Qinglu, staying from noon to evening.
For a whole day, Shao Yan did not see Deng Qing nor Shao Qian.
She stayed in the small building pavilion, boredly fiddling with the makeup puff pad she brought, looking at the autumn scenery outside the window while waiting for news from Shao Qian.
After nightfall, the guards guarding her suddenly knocked on her door.
At that time, she was sitting in front of the dressing table and looking at the ancient books prepared by Deng Qing for her. She was shocked by the sudden and rapid knock on the door.
Shao Yan frowned and asked outside, "Who is it? What happened? Why did you knock on the door so urgently?"
The guard outside said to her anxiously: "Miss Shao Yan, come out quickly. Just now, Lord Dong escorted your brother and took a group of people to Qingluju in a fierce manner. I don't know what happened. General Protector sent a servant over and asked the girl to go to Qingluju."
Shao Yan's expression changed drastically, and his steps increased rapidly. He rushed towards the door, opened the closed door suddenly, stared at the guard who came to report the message and said, "Say it again? What's wrong with my brother?"
Seeing her face showing anxiety, the guard paused slightly, "The villain doesn't know what happened to your brother. I only know that at noon today, Shao Xiaolangjun and General Qian Hui went to the warehouse to transport goods, but for some reason he was detained by Dong Daofu. Girl, please follow the servant of General Protector to Qingluju to take a look..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shao Yan reached out and pushed him away and ran towards the corridor. He saw someone waiting on the bridge, which was A Xiao, the close servant beside Deng Qing.
She hurriedly bowed to him and said in a hurry: "Mr. A Xiao! What happened? Why did Lord Dong take my brother to Qingluju?"
The relationship between A Xiao and Shao Yan is quite good. On weekdays, the two of them took care of each other, which saved them a lot of trouble.
At the moment, he was also worried for Shao Yan, so he urged: "Miss Shao, don't ask more questions. Come with the villain. The villain told you on the road."
Shao Yan nodded, and the two of them picked up their clothes and ran towards Qingluju.
Along the way, A Xiao explained everything that happened to her clearly.
After noon, Qian Hui reported to Deng Qing and went to the warehouse where Mao Tiexuan Silk to transport goods with Shao Qian. The two brought out thousands of boxes of goods in the warehouse with ten military soldiers, and they went back and forth for less than 20 or 30 times. Because of the excessive fatigue, Shao Qian's new and old injuries recurred, and was infected with the cold, he fainted in public.
Dong Daofu happened to pass by, so he hurriedly took him to the nearby clinic for traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
Qian Hui was waiting outside the clinic. Unexpectedly, when the two came out of the clinic, Dong Daofu actually tied Shao Qian tightly and took it out with a fierce look.
Shao Qian was weak and could not resist Dong Daof's brute force at all. Qian Hui stopped Dong Daof and asked him what he meant, but Dong Daof pushed him away. The two of them started fighting on the spot, causing trouble to the streets and causing the guards patrolling the city.
Relying on his subordinates, all the rough and savage people, Dong Daofu completely ignored Qian Hui's identity, he asked his subordinates to tie Qian Hui up. The guards took into account Qian Hui's identity as the chief general, surrounded him and forced him to loosen Qian Hui's ties.
Unexpectedly, Dong Daofu threatened that Shao Qian was an assassin who attacked Qingluju at night four or five days ago. If anyone dared to stop him and report the case to the general of the Protector, he would kill him.
Dong Daofu's ruthlessness is famous among the Beidi County Town, and he will definitely do what he said.
The generals of the guards did not dare to stop them anymore. Dong Daofu escorted Shao Qian and rushed back to the Protector's Mansion with quick horses.
He was like thunder and wind, making the Protectorate's Mansion restless.
When A Xiao received the news, he immediately rushed to Xiaolouting to inform Shao Yan.
The two of them ran quickly and rushed to the middle of Qinglu, panting, but they saw that inside and outside the hall were surrounded by guards.
Shao Yan stared at the scene in front of her, feeling frightened.
A Xiao led her and showed his face in front of the soldiers guarding the screen wall. After talking for a while, they were willing to let the two of them in.
In the vestibule of Qinglu, Dong Daofu's scolding sounds came.
Shao Yan lowered her head and walked, her heart beating up and down, feeling numb all over.
A Xiao took her to the front of the vestibule room, stood in the corner and whispered to her: "The current situation... I'm afraid you can't go in, girl. Why don't you wait outside now? If the situation is wrong, go in and defend your brother."
Shao Yan walked anxiously at the turn of the corridor, with a pale face. He asked anxiously in front of A Xiao: "When Lord Dong brought my brother to Qingluju...what was the face of General Protector? Do you believe his words?"
A Xiao was afraid that she would break in recklessly, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, General Protector is on your side, otherwise he wouldn't let the villain inform you."
When Shao Yan heard his intentions and knew that he was comforting himself, he silenced and stopped asking him. Instead, he stuck to the wall and listened to the movement inside with his ears erected.
Dong Daofu said coldly and coldly: "Everything that General. What his subordinates say is true! This man must know martial arts! The short blade inlaid with sapphire in his arms is evidence!"
Qian Hui tried hard to argue: "Dong Daofu! You are clearly taking personal revenge! I resented that I won you on the school field! If you can't afford to lose, don't compete with me! You are just using this short knife... and you said that Shao Xiaolangjun is a person who visited the Protectorate's Mansion at night... Is it too hasty! In addition to you, have you seen this blade other guards who are chasing the assassins in the Mansion?"
Dong Daofu argued hard: "Even if I only see it, it's seen it. I can testify! He is the assassin. Besides, I am a person who never forgets it and has a deep impression of the assassin's eyes. I can be sure! Whether it is the assassin who attacked me in Minxiang or the man in black who visited the Protectorate at night, they are all these eyes! I will never read it wrong!"
Qian Hui said angrily: "You are making a point! Do you want to slander Shao Xiaolangjun just by your pair of eyes? Dong Daofu! You are too ridiculous!"
Dong Daofu and Qian Hui were arguing endlessly.
There was no other voice in front of the front courtyard of Qinglu.
Shao Yan listened for a long time but couldn't hear any results.
Neither Deng Qing nor Shao Qian seemed to speak out, letting the two of them argue.
Dong Daofu insisted on his own opinion and always believed that Shao Qian was the assassin.
Qian Hui tried his best to argue for him, but he still couldn't stop Dong Daofu's aggressive mouth.
Shao Yan was so anxious that she vomited blood, and was pacing anxiously outside the corridor.
A Xiao couldn't stand it, so he could only go forward and continue to comfort him: "Miss Shao Yan, don't worry. I believe your brother must be innocent. The general is not an unreasonable person, and he will definitely give Shao Xiaolangjun justice."
But Shao Yan couldn't listen. She forced a smile at A Xiao, listening to the movement inside in fear.
Only she knew in her heart that everything Dong Daofu said was true.
Even if Qian Hui and Dong Daofu have different opinions, Deng Qing's personality will definitely be suspicious of Shao Qian. Even if you are lucky enough to avoid this matter, you may not be able to dispel Deng Qing's doubts.
Dong Daofu seemed tired of continuing to argue with Qian Hui, stopped to rest for a while, and suddenly said to Deng Qing: "General, this blade and the assassin's eyes are indeed just one-sided words of his subordinates. It cannot prove that Shao Xiaolangjun is the assassin. But his subordinates have iron evidence! It can prove that Shao Xiaolangjun's plot is inappropriate."
Qian Hui sneered: "Dong Daofu? You can't frame Shao Langjun for the charge of attacking Qingluju that night. Now you're the second best?"
Dong Daofu stared at him impatiently and said viciously: "Shut up!"
Qian Hui felt that he had suffered a great humiliation and glared at him and said, "You asked me to shut up? The surname Dong? What are you? I am the leader of the first battalion of Changming Army, commanding six generals and ten forwards, killing the enemy and fighting bloody battles. And you are just hiding in this northern city and relying on the general to appreciate the living villain? What qualifications do you have to shut up here?"
Dong Daofu looked at him coldly and said disdainfully: "So what if you are the chief general? I am a capable person at the general's hand. Since the general wants me to guard the city and defend the security, I naturally cannot let the thieves get into the city! Qian Hui, if you protect Shao Qian like this, are you in the same group with him?"
Qian Hui was so angry that he smoked his orifices, pointing at his nose and scolded: "Are you shameless? When did you do this job guarding the city defense? Dong Daofu! You really know how to steal other people's credit, have you ever taken the commander seriously?"
Dong Daofu still wanted to continue refuting him.
Deng Qing stopped him with a cough.
Dong Daofu looked at him, immediately stopped sarcasm, and lowered his head to wait for him to reply.
Deng Qing stared at the two people in front of him with annoyance, glanced at him and said coldly: "Dong Daofu, what other evidence do you have in your hands to prove that Shao Langjun's plot was inappropriate?"
Dong Daofu immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Deng Qing: "Please look, General!"
Deng Qing took the silk paper from him and started reading it.
