Chapter 600 Witnessing the Assassin
Chen Guanlou half-closed his eyes, looking drunk.
He sent Qi Wuxiu away and headed towards the brothel.
In fact, he sensed a few sneaky warriors and confirmed that they were not coming for him.
Halfway through, he found a secluded place, changed his appearance, and followed the sneaky warriors to see what they wanted to do.
This chase led him to the outskirts of the city.
A group of young nobles and young ladies were playing near the manor. Judging from the procession, it seemed that there were royal relatives among them.
He hid his figure and followed the strongest warrior. The other party did not notice his existence from beginning to end, after all, he was only at the peak of the seventh rank.
The nobles and young ladies were having a great time. One of the noble ladies was verbally humiliated, but she did not dare to resist, and instead kept apologizing. Obviously, in that circle, the status of a noble lady was not worth mentioning.
The food chain was everywhere.
Riding horses and having fun.
Suddenly the horses went crazy and the scene was chaotic.
The warriors took advantage of the situation and rushed out, aiming directly at the young man with the most noble status.
A guard shouted, "Assassin, there is an assassin! Protect the second prince!"
Damn!
These warriors were so bold that they actually assassinated the prince.
Chen Guanlou estimated that the second prince was only fifteen or sixteen years old, a young boy, who had not yet opened a government office, participated in political affairs, and even had not married and had children. Just like this, he was assassinated?
Are the people in the palace so impatient that they can't wait for a few years?
Emperor Jianshi only ascended the throne this year!
It must be ten or eight years, or even twenty years. It's a pig brain to act so hastily!
Chen Guanlou shook his head slowly, tutted, and never showed up from beginning to end, and he didn't intend to interfere in this assassination.
Dog bites dog, it's none of his business.
The palace guards are not vegetarians either. They have cultivation, rules, and actions. Several assassins have lost the opportunity, and it will be difficult for them to get close to the second prince.
The other noble ladies and noblemen were not as lucky as the second prince. They had no palace guards to protect them, and only a few guards and servants around them. How could they be opponents of the assassins? Puff, puff, they all gave away their heads, and they were also injured.
Chen Guanlou shook his head, looked at the messy scene, and left.
When he returned to the capital and entered the brothel, he heard the news that there was an assassin outside the city.
He heard that the news spread fast enough.
I don’t know how many people died, whether the assassin succeeded, and whether the noble ladies and noblemen suffered.
“Drink, drink... No matter how fierce the assassin is, he will not run to the brothel to assassinate.”
Chen Guanlou spent the whole night in the brothel. Early in the morning, he walked into the Tianlao with a handsome face. As soon as he sat down, the breakfast from the breakfast shop opposite was delivered, hot and with some new tricks.
He was happy and ordered Mu Qingshan to reward the breakfast shop.
Mu Qingshan was stunned, "Isn't it free?"
"You're using my money to reward me, why are you wasting your words?" Chen Guanlou cursed.
Mu Qingshan: ...
As long as you don't spend his money, you can reward me as you like.
He smelled the powder on Chen Guanlou's body and was puzzled, "Since Dong Weng has seen the charm of the top-level pleasure boats, why does he want to stay in the city's brothels?"
In his opinion, after eating delicacies, who would still care about plain porridge and side dishes, and hang out in the city's brothels all day. It's better to change ten times to one time, and save money to go to the top-level brothel to play.
"You don't understand!" Chen Guanlou dismissed him with one sentence.
Mu Qingshan didn't believe it, "I understand!"
"You know shit!"
"Could it be that Dong Weng is reluctant to part with the money?"
Chen Guanlou drank half a cup of soy milk in one breath, "I can't bear to part with anything, but I won't bear to part with the money. Money is something that can be earned again if it's gone. Do you think everything about the brothel is good?"
"Except for the higher price, is there anything bad about it?"
"I tell you, except for the price, everything is bad."
Mu Qingshan's forehead read: I'm not stupid, don't lie to me.
"You still don't believe it!" Chen Guanlou snorted coldly, "Such a big business, and it's under the feet of the emperor, I ask you who can do it, who dares to do it? The backers behind it can be guessed with your toes, they must be people in that circle. What else can they do with the pleasure boat besides making money?"
Mu Qingshan's head was full of lawsuits, waiting for Chen Guanlou to answer his questions.
"In addition to making money, of course, it is to collect information, hold people's handles, and cultivate spies."
"Ah?!" Mu Qingshan was obviously frightened.
"Bullshit! I told you a long time ago that you need to experience more, but you still don't believe it. You can't even see through such a simple thing, and you still ask me why I don't go to the pleasure boat. What am I going to do? To add to people's gossip, be a fool, and be watched by people every day."
"But, Dong Weng, you are just a small prison warden, what is there worth spying on, and there is nothing for people to use to hold you. As for spies, I wonder if it is worth arranging spies around a small prison warden."
Mu Qingshan's mouth must be poisoned. When he first came, his mouth was so polite, he was polite everywhere, and never said much.
Now...
It turns out that he has been hanging out with Chen Guanlou for a long time, and they are all the same, poisonous!
Chen Guanlou is obviously very upset, you bastard, do you know the art of speaking? He doesn't learn good things, but only learns some crooked ways.
He coughed lightly, "I asked you to think more, not to complain. I can go wherever I want, what's your business? I'm just a small prison warden, do I bother you? Get out! So many prisoners have come in the past two days, have you finished the paperwork? If not, wait for rework."
"Dong Weng, you can't take revenge on personal gain."
"I'm just taking revenge. Go back to work, you must go back to work!" Chen Guanlou took revenge with confidence.
Mu Qingshan:...
Pa Pa slapped his mouth: I told you to talk too much, I told you to talk too much.
Now it's all right, don't think about leaving get off work early today, you have to work overtime. The agreed night to drink wine, can only wait until next time.
"The second prince was assassinated, such a big thing, you don't care about it?" Doctor Mu walked in from outside, "Qingshan, what are you still standing there for? Go to work quickly and share the worries for the adults."
Chen Guanlou laughed proudly, Doctor Mu was still a man.
Mu Qingshan rolled away in disgrace.
"The second prince was assassinated, the adults didn't seem surprised."
"I heard about it in the brothel last night. Is there any detailed information? Is the person dead?"
Doctor Mu was speechless. He knew why Mu Qingshan's mouth was getting more and more poisonous. It turned out that he learned it from Chen Yucheng. He asked if he was dead or not when he opened his mouth. That's the prince. God! Fortunately, it was in the Tianlao, and no outsiders heard it.
"He was lucky and didn't die. But he was injured and poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Chen Guanlou was a little surprised. He didn't find those warriors poisoning him yesterday. Could it be that there was a new plot after he left.
"I heard that it was quite serious and he is still unconscious at this time." Doctor Mu was connected with the group of imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital, so the news was more accurate and timely than others. Although the group of imperial doctors refused to recommend him, they admired Lao Mu's medical skills in their hearts and occasionally exchanged ideas with each other in private. Of course, Doctor Mu didn't mind. He didn't plan to join the Imperial Hospital or deal with the powerful.
Why is their Mu family so sparse now? It's because they offended the nobles in the palace in their early years, and they died in a string of bad luck. Since then, the Mu family began to take the initiative to stay away from the center of power. He himself was willing to stay in the Tianlao as a medical officer and never show off his medical skills in front of others.
