Chapter 186 Hand Knife
Chapter 186 Hand Knife
“Agula, you’ve been spending a lot of time looking for medicine for your father. I think his injuries are serious.
It would not be difficult for the Tiqi to find an injured person.
The treatment you received when you spoke voluntarily was different from the treatment your father received when he was caught and forced to speak.
Many of the captives were enslaved, and some were sent to the palace to serve as eunuchs. "Shen Xiaoye decided to explain it more clearly.
She had already heard footsteps outside the door, one of which was from Cousin Geng, and the other should be from Guard Xia.
But Agula didn't pay attention. After hearing this, he clamped his legs together. He had seen the eunuchs serving the Grand Tutor and several great taijis.
He immediately said: "It was not my father who killed the person, but Gert who was with him. He has been killed by my father.
Then, we found a caravan, hid in the car and left Beijing."
"This is not the point. How did your father pass through the pass and enter Tongzhou Prefecture? Where did you get the pass to enter Tongzhou Prefecture?" Shen Xiaoye did not let him evade the important issue and also scanned his lower body.
Agula froze and stammered, "He, he went from Mobei to Moxi, passed through Wala's territory and entered the Hetao of Dazhou."
Shen Xiaoye asked: "The pass you got in Hetao?"
"In Liangzhou, there are people to pick them up." Agula shook his head.
Huh, the door was pushed open, and Guard Xia rushed to him in one or two steps, his eyes full of murderous light: "Who is from Liangzhou?"
Those who can provide the pass are definitely not ordinary people, and most of the people in Ganliang are Dada people who surrendered when the Northern Tartars were driven out of the Central Plains.
There have been frequent rebellions over the years.
Agula leaned back, "Shen, Shen Xiaoye, save me."
"Guard Xia, don't scare him." Shen Xiaoye stepped forward to separate the people.
Shen Cungeng also chased in and said, "Guardian Xia, you scared him."
Then he turned to Agula and said, "Who is it?"
"I don't know. My father didn't tell me who it was." Agula was telling the truth.
Shen Xiaoye thought of something and asked, "Isn't he going to come to Beijing just to save you?"
Agula was frightened by Guard Xia's eyes, and he saw his sword, which was used exclusively by the Tiqi, so he said more, "No, they are here to pick up someone from the Grand Master.
Originally, I didn't ask my father to come, but he knew from Liangzhou that I was in the capital, so he spent money and came with Gert and the others to find me."
"Take us to find your father." Shen Xiaoye said at this time.
Agula hesitated and asked her, "Can you promise not to put him in prison?"
Guard Xia was stunned. A small-time foreigner was not qualified to be imprisoned in the Imperial Guard Prison. He would only be temporarily detained in another place.
Shen Xiaoye didn't know this, she asked Guard Xia: "Can you not get off?"
"Of course." Guard Xia cooperated automatically. As for whether other places would be closed, it would depend on the decision from above.
After getting a definite answer, Agula finally agreed to go with them to find his father.
Just at this moment, the curfew drum sounded. Shen Xiaoye, who had been advised to stay in the clinic, was determined not to stay when she saw Shen Changshun and his wife coming to take care of her son.
The doctor sincerely saw them off, because he had seen clearly that the guard who removed the knife from its wrapping was from the Guard Department.
Guard Xia had no choice but to leave with a group of people.
At this moment, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the patrolling soldiers and night watchmen were already on duty in every street.
When the drums stopped, Shen Xiaoye and his group had not yet found the hiding place of Agula's father.
Naturally, they were stopped by the night patrol soldiers, but as soon as Guard Xia showed his token, they automatically retreated.
Unexpectedly, Guard Xia stopped them and said something to them. He then handed over a box of something. A moment later, a soldier took a bow and shot three arrows into the sky.
The flaming arrow exploded in the air, whoosh, whoosh, the red and eye-catching fireworks attracted Shen Xiaoye to look at them several times.
She said, "I thought the words 'Gongweisi' would appear in the air."
"Miss Shen, this is a good idea. Can I report it to my superiors later?" Guard Xia asked her.
Shen Xiaoye didn't comment, just said: "It's up to you."
The group of four did not waste any more time and after turning around several times, they found Aruhhan who had fainted in the firewood room of the City God Temple.
Agula immediately rushed forward, "Eqige."
"Get up." Shen Cungeng quickly pulled the man away to make it easier for Guard Xia to help with the treatment.
Shen Xiaoye asked the temple priest to fetch some water, and let Guard Xia clean the blood from Aruhhan's abdomen first.
She estimated that the injury was not vital, the only thing was that the wound repeatedly broke open and caused excessive blood loss.
But Agula didn't know. He was screaming and crying. Shen Cungeng couldn't hold him back, so he decided to go all out and chopped the man unconscious with his knife.
The woodshed suddenly became quiet, and the old temple keeper kept swallowing his saliva. He didn't know who these people were.
It was not until Shen Xiaoye asked him that he nervously said, "They gave me a donkey and reluctantly let them live there.
I don’t know how this person got the wound.”
“Why don’t they go to other temples but only come to look for you?
You two already knew each other." Guard Xia bandaged the wounded and stood up to ask.
"No, no, I was born and raised in Tongzhou. I have no relatives or sons, and I don't know them." The temple keeper waved his hands, looking very scared.
What was even more frightening was that three people came in from the gate one after another, all of them carrying knives. The temple keeper immediately knelt down and said, "Please spare my life, my old man is here only to eat. I have saved two hundred yuan in the room, please accept it."
"Who wants your two hundred dollars?" The leader said to Guard Xia, "If you want to come to us urgently, you'd better have a good reason."
Guard Xia picked up Agula who had fallen to the ground and said, "Look, who is this?"
"Agula! Well done, Xia Chen. We will report your achievement." The leading man looked at it carefully twice and patted Agula to wake him up.
Unfortunately, he failed to do so, and his two men confirmed Aruhan's identity.
In fact, Agula and his son look like Han people, and they are both wearing hats now, so most people would not think they are Dada people.
Brother and sister Shen Xiaoye tactfully stepped aside and did not disturb them from talking.
But from their conversation, Shen Xiaoye was sure that Guard Xia had run out of the clinic looking for one of them.
Without further ado, Guard Xia and the others decided to stay in the temple because neither Aruhhan nor his son had woken up yet, and it would be easy for them to be checked again if they were taken through the streets.
The temple keeper was ordered around to boil water, burn firewood and prepare midnight snacks.
"Then shall we sit here all night? Can you arrange a room for my sister to sleep in?" Shen Cungeng could do it himself, but Xiao Ye couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
He added: "There is still food, do you really dare to eat it?"
"No need to find a room, I'll be guarding here too." Shen Xiaoye was also curious. Aren't these people afraid that the temple keeper will poison them?
She also doubted whether she could sleep in the City God Temple.
However, it turned out that the brother and sister were overthinking, as there was a Tiqi following the temple keeper and watching him.
After the meal was ready, Aruhhan woke up halfway through the meal, and Guard Xia and the others dropped their bowls and came closer.
