Chapter 53: The Explosion Didn't Land
Chapter 53: The Explosion Didn't Land
A moment ago, the cavalry commander also said the four words "committing crime in the street".
When these four words were repeated by the old eunuch at this moment, many people suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong today.
The expression on the face of the cavalry commander hidden under his helmet changed several times the moment he saw the old eunuch, becoming increasingly uglier.
The reaction of the Sky Patrol expert was even more direct. He lowered his head without hesitation and said respectfully, "Greetings, Eunuch Cao."
According to rumors in the Divine Capital, there is an old eunuch in the Imperial City who not only holds great power, but also has an extremely unfathomable realm.
It is said that he may enter the realm of enlightenment at any time and embark on the final path to immortality. There are few people in the world who can do that… The ministers in the court, the royal family, the leaders of the various sects in the world, and even the three directors of the Sky Patrol Department usually have to show him some courtesy when they see him.
The bloody incident on the long street today was certainly not enough to alarm the great eunuch and ask him to come to the scene in person.
Although Eunuch Cao was also old, he was just the eunuch's apprentice.
But this is enough to solve all the problems.
Because everyone here recognizes him.
Because he represents the will of the palace.
Eunuch Cao had a cold expression on his face. He glanced at the bloody scene on the long street, at the brave cavalrymen who were blocking the street, at the people watching in the distance, and at the invisible dignitaries who were not present. His brows were furrowed.
This matter has become too big a fuss.
Thoughts are but a moment.
To outsiders, it seemed that he simply glanced at the situation in the field and directly ignored the greeting from the powerful man from the Sky Patrol Department.
At the same time, he turned to look at Lin Wanyi, forced a smile on his old face, and asked gently, "What do you think?"
At this time, Lin Wanyi didn't pay any attention to this sentence.
Her mind was completely focused on Gu Zhuo, and she asked anxiously and angrily, "Why didn't you hide just now?"
The words naturally referred to the previous attack by the powerful man from the Sky Patrol Department, in which the silver light transformed from his true essence struck him in the middle of the forehead.
Gu Zhuo said frankly: "The main thing is that I trust you."
Lin Wanyi was startled for a moment, then she understood. Her eyes fell on his waist and found the jade pendant she had given him.
So her mood became a little complicated, and she wanted to say a lot, but after a moment of silence, she finally just hummed lightly.
During the entire conversation between the two, eunuch Cao always responded with a smile, without any impatience.
The next moment, Lin Wanyi stood up.
She looked at the kind-looking eunuch Cao in front of her, pointed at the strong man from the Patrol Department, and asked expressionlessly, "I want to know why this person killed people without any explanation?"
Eunuch Cao nodded and said, "This is indeed wrong."
When the word "no" came to the end of this sentence, the powerful man from the Patrol Sky Department who had attacked fiercely before, without hesitation, gathered all his true energy in his palm and slapped it onto his chest.
Bang!
A stream of blood flowed out of his mouth, continuously dripping onto the white clothes, leaving an extremely glaring red.
Then, he bowed his head and said, "I was too reckless in this matter."
Eunuch Cao turned a blind eye, his eyes remained on Lin Wanyi, and he didn't even look to the side.
The venue was very quiet.
Lin Wanyi turned around, looked at Gu Zhuo, and said, "You go ahead and tell me."
Gu Zhuo was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Lin Wanyi thought about it, and seemed to have found a reason that could convince herself, and said seriously: "Because you are better at talking than me in this regard."
Gu Zhuo did not refuse anymore.
He looked at Eunuch Cao and said three sentences calmly.
"I don't understand why there are so many people here today, gathering outside this inn and swearing."
"I don't understand why the person who should be in charge of this matter never showed up."
"I don't understand why after I took action, all the people who disappeared before suddenly appeared."
Every word spoken made the hearts of many people present sink, and the pressure on their shoulders increased exponentially.
At this moment, Lin Wanyi took over the conversation and said calmly: "This is what I want to know too."
The girl's voice was clear and powerful, as bright as the sunshine after the rain, leaving no room for any darkness to hide.
Eunuch Cao looked at Gu Zhuo deeply with a complicated expression, nodded and said, "Of course, we have to figure this out."
After hearing these words, everyone present looked even uglier, some even as pale as paper, and they were so distraught as if they had lost their mother today.
Someone must step forward and take responsibility for this bloody incident on Chang Street, giving a public explanation.
Now it seems that this person is not Gu Zhuo, and even less likely to be Lin Wanyi.
Who else could it be?
Isn't that them?
Many people think that today may be the last day of their lives.
……
……
In that restaurant, Wei Youbin had long lost the courage to be angry, and he lay down on the chair, his lips trembling constantly.
He looked at the eunuch, wanting to say something to defend himself, but in the end he lost all his strength and smiled miserably.
Next to Wei Youbin, the middle-aged man was not in much better condition. He kept slapping himself in the face, full of regret.
In fact, he had already seen that Wei Youbin wanted to stop the situation from developing and make the group of teenagers shut up after hearing Lin Wanyi's warning, but he was drunk at the time and casually stopped them... If he hadn't drunk that glass of wine and didn't let himself get drunk, would all this not have happened?
Thinking of this, and thinking of the miserable future that was about to face him, the man burst into tears, with tears and snot coming out together.
Wei Youbin became clear-headed after hearing the crying. He looked at the feminine eunuch and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is she?"
The feminine eunuch smiled, a particularly creepy smile, and did not answer.
Wei Youbin fell into complete despair, muttering, "I had checked everything beforehand, and there were clearly no problems. Why did this person suddenly appear... Why?"
……
……
In the teahouse, Song Jinglun, who was in the lead, had a gloomy face.
The young man surnamed Wei knelt on the ground, looking extremely confused. It was obvious that he couldn't believe what was happening.
He suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Song Jinglun's clothes, and shouted angrily: "Didn't you say that Gu Zhuo was a lunatic? Is he dead today? Will he never appear in front of us again? Why did he become like this now?"
Song Jinglun resisted the urge to kick him away and said, "When encountering things, you must be calm and don't be anxious. The dust has not settled yet..."
"Fuck you!"
The young man surnamed Wei stood up suddenly, slapped the senior brother in the face, and shouted angrily: "I know you like to pretend to be calm and indifferent on weekdays. Now that something happened in my family, you are still pretending?"
Song Jinglun was stunned, feeling the burning pain on his face, and he couldn't recover for a moment.
There was chaos on the field.
The young man surnamed Wei was held by the crowd and could no longer move. He cursed loudly, "I'll see how you deal with that Gu Zhuo. I'll see you get stabbed half to death by someone and lie on the ground like a dead dog. I'll see if you dare to hold that banquet again!"
……
……
At the end of the long street, among the crowd.
Lin Qianshui looked at the scene in the distance with a confused look in her eyes.
She wondered who this cousin of hers was.
What exactly is going on?
……
……
"What exactly is going on?!"
The noble who first noticed that something was wrong shouted angrily, "Hasn't everything been investigated? Lin Wanyi has been in seclusion for a while and has not cared about the outside world at all. Why did she suddenly appear there? And you guys let her get scolded..."
Having said this, he stopped himself and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
"Damn it, even I don't dare to curse like that, what kind of idiot can do such a thing?!"
The more this nobleman spoke, the angrier he became. He picked up a vase worth a fortune and threw it hard over the head of the person below.
There was a loud bang.
Blood and broken porcelain pieces were scattered all over the ground.
The injured servant didn't dare to move at all, let alone raise his head to take a look at the extremely noble Crown Prince.
The servant replied cautiously: "The news came from the Lin family. This is the most reliable channel."
The prince gradually calmed down and said to himself, "We must not let that woman know... No, she will definitely know. What we need to do now is to deal with the aftermath. We must not let her use this matter to contact the palace."
He was very sure that with that woman's temperament, today's incident would never end here, and there would definitely be another dangerous storm to come.
……
……
The Yulin Army ended the blockade of Changjie. The remaining blood on the street had long been cleaned up. Under the sunlight after the rain, it seemed as if nothing had happened before.
Only the faint smell of blood floating in the air silently told the story of what had happened before.
Eunuch Cao has returned to the palace.
Before leaving, he spoke a few words to Lin Wanyi with a kind look, and then asked someone to change an inn for Gu Zhuo to avoid future troubles.
Lin Wanyi did not go home.
She still held the umbrella, blocking out the sunlight and her face, and walked with Gu Zhuo to the bank of Baima Lake not far from the new inn.
The sky is blue after the rain, and the spring day is dazzling.
Lin Wanyi looked at her reflection in the water. After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "If I hadn't happened to come here today, how would you have solved this problem?"
