Chapter 49 Chapter 24

Di Gong ordered Tao Gan to set up a guard of honor, follow the sedan chair and horse, and set off for Beijing within a limited time.All the aftermaths were entrusted to Governor Wen Du to handle the aftermath, and the Liang family business was inherited by Lan Li alone. Ni Tianji was praised, Bao Kuan was comforted, and Yao Taikai was blamed. ——As soon as it was implemented, I sat in the study in the west hall and meditated. Liu Daoyuan's case is of course over, and the third prince's ascension to the throne is the general trend.But Eunuch Wang and Monk Faming seem to be unable to be easily punished.Although the empress is tolerant for the time being, the aggressive power will eventually lead to the climate of replacing Tang Zuo, and I am afraid that the imperial court of the first three provinces will not be able to do anything about it.My own future is also uncertain, and I have been honored by books.

Di Gong took a look at Qiao Tai and smiled sadly: "Qiao Tai, I didn't expect you and I to investigate and solve the Guangzhou case in one place after so many years. It's also a coincidence. However, I can conclude that this is the time of my life." This is the last time to solve the case.——I will never deal with various criminals in person again, compare wits and bravery, and plan chess games. After returning to Beijing, I plan to resign from the official post of Dali Temple Secretary. I am old, and in the game with Liang Pu, Feeling powerless everywhere.” "Qiaotai, you have followed me for many years, and you have repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Ma Rong has already married a pair of twin sisters, blue, white, and scarlet. How happy. I saw the twin sisters Ting Ye and Dana I also intend to marry you. In a short while, I will send Mr. Ni Tianji to the Yamen, and we will meet face to face, and ask him to pack up the gold, pearls, coins, and silk as the dowry. Mr. Ni also respects you, so it will not take a lot of trouble. Bring it back to the capital, that is, You can get married. ——In the future, when I retire from the field, I will have two of your good friends as my companions every day, and my four daughters-in-law will treat you wisely, and this evening will be a joy."

Qiao Tai was shy, and said gratefully, "Master is tired, let's go to the pavilion to have a rest. No matter how fast Tao Gan packs up, he still needs to apply for a license to start the journey." Di Gong agreed, and the two came up to the dormitory in the pavilion.Qiao Tai hastily spread a mat on the floor, lay down and fell asleep.Di Gong went to bed and took off his belt coat.There was a slight breeze outside the window, the whole Yafu was very quiet, and the two soon fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly a black shadow flashed outside the window, and a person jumped into it.Masked to cover eyes, bare arms and chest.Holding a scimitar in his hand, he gently touched Di Gong's bed.He grinned grimly a few times, and was about to raise his knife to stab him, when he suddenly saw Di Gong's Yulong sword resting on the table.The man stuck the scimitar into the waistband of his trousers, and reached for the Yulong Sword.

He lightly picked up the Yulong Sword and watched it for a moment.With a sudden jerk, a cold front flashed out.In a moment of impatience, the scabbard fell to the ground, and "Dangdu" sounded. Di Gong and Qiao Tai woke up at the same time.The man aimed at Duke Di's throat and tried to stab him violently.Qiao Tai kicked his back, kicked his shins, and stabbed the air with his sword. Unconsciously annoyed, he turned around to kill Qiao Tai.Qiao Tai was caught off guard, the Yulong sword had pierced into his chest, and blood flowed profusely immediately. Di Gong picked up the scabbard from the ground, the man sheathed the sword and was about to swing his waist, then pulled out the scimitar, he was hit on the forehead by Di Gong's scabbard, his facial features were shattered, and he fell to the ground with his head in his arms. ——Di Gong stepped forward and tore off the mask, and it turned out to be a barbarian.

Di Gong helped Qiao Tai to lay flat on the bed.Qiao Tai said: "He is Manser." He smiled again and closed his eyes. Tao Gan and four yamen rushed to the upstairs bedroom. They were shocked and rushed to report to Wen Kan. Wu Zuo pulled out the Yulong sword and applied the golden sore medicine.Qiao Tai's pulse was faint and he was dying. Di Gong burst into tears, his whole body was numb, and he was silent for a while. Tao Gan wiped the Yulong sword clean, inserted it into the sheath, and handed it to Duke Di.Di Gong wept and said: "I and Qiao Tai will meet each other with this sword, and with this sword... forever." After saying that, he put the Yulong Sword on Qiao Tai's body.

"This sword is already stained with Qiao Tai's blood, how can I wear it on my body again?" With tears in his eyes, Qiaotai took a last look at Di Gong, moved his lips, and quietly closed his eyes. In the front yard of the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, Duke Di's sedan chair and horse guard of honor have been prepared, horseshoes are neighing, flags and flags are fluttering.
