When it was almost noon, Liu Jian called Du Qi up. However, Du Qi's body was still a little weak, so after lunch, Du Qi took another nap in the afternoon, and then picked up the twentieth chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the fifth chapter of the Romance of the Gods, and went straight to the palace.
This is to see Li Yuan.
Du Qi is now bound to enter the palace every day. According to the current frequency of his entering the palace, Du Qi's meeting with Emperor Li Yuan was more frequent than most officials in the court.
Every day at this time, Du Qi will enter the palace on time.
When Du Qi entered the city, he didn't need to wait, and he didn't need soldiers to report, he could enter the palace directly. After Du Qi entered the palace, he went straight to Ganlu Hall. He stood still in the main hall, bowed his hands and said: "Chen Du Qi, see Your Majesty."
When he saluted, his left hand could be raised normally, but his right hand was only raised a little. Even so, the expression on Du Qi's face already revealed a look of pain, after all, his right shoulder was seriously injured.
Li Yuan saw something was wrong at a glance, and asked, "Du Erlang, you can't lift your right hand, what's wrong?"
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, my injury is nothing. It's just a slight injury on my shoulder, and I can't lift my hand. If I'm rude, please forgive me."
"What crime do you have, I forgive you not guilty."
Li Yuan shook his head, but he just lived a long time, and he is a mature person. Seeing that Du Qi said it easily, but the look on Du Qi's face was obviously not relaxed, and he knew that the situation was not good.
Especially, it is summer now, and the weather is even hotter. The clothes on Du Qi's body were thin, and once the wound burst, blood would ooze out. Li Yuan looked carefully, and suddenly saw blood oozing from Du Qi's left shoulder, staining the clothes on his shoulder red.
Seeing this situation, Li Yuan is even more aware that Du Qi's situation is probably very wrong.
Now Li Yuan admires Du Qi very much.
What's more, Li Yuan seems to have become a fan of Du Qi's books now, waiting to read Du Qi's books every day. When he saw Du Qi's appearance, he was worried. He stood up and walked in front of Du Qi, putting his hand directly on Du Qi's right shoulder.
In an instant, a piercing pain came from the wound. Although Du Qi was gritting his teeth, the severe pain made Du Qi step back two steps, and the expression on his face changed again and again.
After much difficulty, he gritted his teeth and endured it without making a sound.
Li Yuan looked cold and serious, and said: "Du Erlang, tell me what happened to your shoulder injury. Under normal circumstances, even if you are injured, your shoulder will not be injured. Especially, the injury is not so serious. .¡±
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, I have been assassinated."
"Assassination?"
Li Yuan's voice suddenly rose.
A shocked expression appeared on the old wrinkled face. The majestic Chang'an City, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, was the capital of the Great Tang Dynasty, and now Du Qi, although he was not an official, was still a seventh-rank official of the imperial court, and he was assassinated.
This is unforgivable.
Li Yuan said: "Say, what's going on."
Du Qi then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this boy went to the restaurant with his entourage this morning. At that time, someone came to pay his respects, saying that he was here to present treasures and asked me to do something."
"This person called himself Xu Ming, and he came to me with a brocade box, ready to present a treasure. But when he was three feet away from me, the killer jumped down, took out a dagger from the bottom of the brocade box, and stabbed me."
"Thanks to my quick reaction, I moved my body a bit, so it was only on my shoulder, and I didn't get stabbed in a vital part such as the heart by Xu Ming. I was lucky to escape."
Du Qi continued: "It's also thanks to the fact that I took a Kunlun slave as a guard outside the restaurant yesterday. The Kunlun slave, More, killed Xu Ming directly and protected my safety. Now Xu Ming assassinated The matter has been reported to the magistrate Wang Minzhi of Chang'an County. The magistrate Wang is also investigating now, but there is no result yet."
Li Yuan's complexion was extremely gloomy.
Someone actually assassinated Du Qi.
It should be killed.
Li Yuan thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Du Erlang, have you offended anyone recently?"
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, when you do things, the boy has always adhered to the principle of keeping things on the front line so that we can meet each other in the future. Basically, when the boy manages things, he offends someone. Unless,"
Speaking of this, Du Qi suddenly changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, the boy really didn't offend anyone. For the time being, I don't know the specific reason. We can only wait for the investigation results of the county magistrate of Chang'an County."
Li Yuan asked: "Unless what?"
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, it's nothing, I really haven't offended you during this period of time.no one. Moreover, restaurants, tea shops, and bookstores all make money in harmony, so they are not considered a complete monopoly. I asked myself, did not offend anyone. "
He did not answer Li Yuan's culture.
Li Yuan snorted, and said in a deep voice: "Du Erlang, what you want to say, unless it is the Prince of the Eastern Palace, right?"
Du Qi smiled mischievously.
He didn't answer the call, and didn't say anything.
Li Yuan thought about it for a while, because he had been in contact with Du Qi for a while, and thought he understood Du Qi's nature, and felt that Du Qi was really not a troublemaker. This is calculated carefully, because he reprimanded Li Jiancheng, and based on his understanding of Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng is narrow-minded and will take revenge, so I am afraid that he will really become angry from embarrassment.
So much so that Li Yuan also had some doubts about Li Jiancheng, after all, Li Jiancheng was the most suspicious.
Li Yuan rolled his eyes, and immediately ordered: "Come here, tell the magistrate of Chang'an County to enter the palace for an audience."
The eunuchs in the palace immediately went to deliver the decree.
Li Yuan returned to the subject and said, "Du Erlang, did you bring the content of today's book? Now that your hand is injured, I'm afraid it will be difficult to write the manuscript again."
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, last night, the boy had already written today's manuscript, so there is enough content for today. Wait until tomorrow, the boy will dictate and ask his followers to write it down. However, the handwriting after tomorrow may be worse. "
"It's okay, thank you for your hard work."
After hearing this, Li Yuan rubbed his hands impatiently, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Du Qi handed the latest content of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Gods to Li Yuan, and stood quietly below. Li Yuan couldn't wait to read the book, he was fascinated by it, and even more energetic.
Whether it is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Gods, part of it has already been serialized, and the plots are getting better and better. Especially the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has now entered the most exciting part.
As a result, Li Yuan was very happy to see it.
Du Qi waited quietly below, while Li Yuan watched calmly. Because he still had to wait for the magistrate of Chang'an to come, Li Yuan didn't take a quick look at ten lines at a glance, but looked down slowly.
When the magistrate of Chang'an came, he was standing beside Du Qi.
When he saw Du Qi, his cheeks twitched.
I met Du Qi again.
He figured it out, as long as he meets Du Qi, nothing good will happen. Especially now that he was called by the emperor and Du Qi was involved, it must be the assassination of Du Qi.
Wang Minzhi could only stand obediently, waiting for Li Yuan to read.
After a long time, after reading the latest chapters of the two books, Li Yuan raised his head, his eyes fell directly on the Chang'an county magistrate, his face was a little stern, and he asked in a deep voice: "Wang Minzhi, what happened to Du Qi's assassination?" Investigate clearly?"
Wang Minzhi felt apprehensive, bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the officials arranged government servants and carefully investigated Xu Ming's situation. Xu Ming was born and raised in Chang'an, and he is also a well-known ranger in Chang'an. "
"Xu Ming is an assassin who specializes in picking up people's tasks and using people's money to eliminate disasters for others."
"According to the investigation by the subordinate officials, before he assassinated Du Qi, he had already committed ten murders, but Xu Ming's actions had not been tracked down before. And before Xu Ming met Du Qi, he had met an extraordinary person."
"This kid just found out here, and all the clues are broken. The current clues only know that Xu Ming met a person, and assassinated Du Qi in the name of offering treasures:"
After a pause, Wang Minzhi said again: "Unexpectedly, there is no trace of the person who paid Xu Ming to assassinate Du Qi. At this point, there is nothing to be found, no clues. The officials are incompetent, I implore Your Majesty to punish."
This matter. Wang Minzhi had no choice.
Can only plead guilty.
After all, Xu Ming is dead.
Without Xu Ming, the suspect who assassinated Du Qi, it would be impossible to investigate and deal with the murderer behind the scenes.
"Trash!"
After Li Yuan heard it, he scolded.
After Wang Minzhi heard it, he knelt down with a plop and knelt down with his head on the ground to plead guilty. He couldn't find out at all, so under the current situation, Wang Minzhi could only hope that Li Yuan would show his respect.
Du Qi knew that Wang Minzhi was a member of King Qin's lineage, so he said, "Your Majesty, I also blame my guard, Kunlun Nu, for this matter. He shot Xu Ming to death regardless of the severity. The matter is over, and there is nothing else to do." Ways. This matter, let¡¯s stop here. In short, when I go out in the future, I just need to be more careful, and be more prepared, and I¡¯ll be fine.¡±
Li Yuan was quite angry.
The more he pondered, the more suspicious Li Jiancheng felt. After all, Du Qi is not an official and has nothing to do with people in the court. But Du Qi is just doing business, and it will not develop to the point where someone assassinates Du Qi.
In addition, the clues are all broken, and there is energy to cut off all the clues, making it impossible for the Chang'an County Government to verify. The biggest possibility is the East Palace.
