The big ship was in chaos. Several boatmen jumped into the water repeatedly to search. Dozens of other ships also came to assist in the rescue. More than 30 ships and more than 50 sailors struggled for more than half an hour, but still found nothing.
Looking at the vast water of the Yellow River, several of his followers burst into tears. Wang Zhongcheng couldn't swim. After so long, how could he still have a chance to survive?
Wang Wenfa said harshly: "Go and tell the officials in Tongzhou and Puzhou that the person who fell into the water is Zhongcheng, the imperial censor, and order them to organize manpower to salvage it. They will see the person alive and the body after death!"
Li Ye climbed ashore twenty miles downstream, carrying Wang Gong's small dark red suitcase on his back. He climbed ashore and quickly got into a forest not far away.
Under a big rock in the woods, Li Ye found the baggage that had been buried here. He changed into a moon-white gown. He was wearing a blue short coat before. He buried the old clothes and then opened it in front of the big rock.
Wang Gong's small suitcase.
The small suitcase contains three ingots of gold, each ingot is about twenty taels, and a piece of beautiful jade. The rest are various letters and documents, more than a hundred in total, and many warrant notes, including seven notes from my grandfather Li Linfu alone.
Zhang, one of which ordered Wang Gong to collect evidence of secret contacts between the prince and Wei Jian. The Wei Jian case broke out after the Shangyuan Festival in the fifth year of Tianbao, indicating that this note was written in the fourth year of Tianbao at the latest, six years later.
Wang Gong still kept it intact, and his scheming was really terrifying.
Li Ye found some dry branches, took out the fire folds, burned the letters and the suitcase, and buried them deeply. By this time, it was getting dark, so he got up and ran towards Pujin Pass.
Outside Pujin Pass is a large town with many inns and taverns. Li Ye returned to his inn and walked into the inn, only to hear the shopkeeper explaining to a few guests.
"An important official of the imperial court fell into the water while crossing the river. I heard that the ferry will be closed for three days, and the army from Tongguan will also come over. It's useless for you to be anxious. You'd better stay in peace!"
Li Ye stepped forward and asked: "Why did an important official of the imperial court fall into the water? Didn't he have an entourage?"
The shopkeeper curled his lips and said, "Who knows? I heard that a drunkard fell into the water and took him down with him."
A guest said: "It must be murder! What a coincidence, it happened that an important official of the imperial court fell into the water."
"The trouble is big now. The chief officer of Pujin Pass can no longer keep his official title."
Li Ye quickly went upstairs. His room was on the east side. When he opened the window of the room, he could see the scene of Pujin Pass. He saw a large number of civilians gathered there, thousands of them, and everyone had a hand.
Holding the torch, it looked like a sea of fire, which was very spectacular. The torch team set off and searched carefully along the Yellow River. It should be the same on the other side of the Yellow River.
Li Ye sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, 'The goods have been sold, the worn-out goods have been disposed of, and the money has been collected. Next, we will go to Hexi to purchase goods. Please stay safe in Chang'an!'
After writing the letter, Li Ye put a small piece of leather into the envelope. This was cut from the suitcase and was only about the size of a fingernail. After sealing the envelope, Li Ye went to a Di store in the town. The Di store can stock and send horses.
Exchange, send letters, etc.
Li Ye walked into the shop and asked: "Can you send a letter to Chang'an?"
The shopkeeper nodded, "Of course, as long as the address and recipient are clear, there will be no problem."
Li Ye's envelope was clearly written on it. It was received by Wang Xiaomian, the shopkeeper of Wangji Grocery Store in District 7, Pingkangfang. This Wang Xiaomian was the father of Li Linfu's confidant Wang Kuan. Li Ye had made an appointment with his grandfather, and the letter was
Deliver to the grocery store.
The shopkeeper weighed it and said to Li Ye: "A letter of 100 yuan by road will be delivered in about half a month. If it costs a certain amount of money for special delivery, it will be delivered in three days, and the letter will be delivered to me."
Li Ye took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Please deliver it as soon as possible!"
The shopkeeper put the letter into a red cloth bag marked Chang'an, and explained to Li Ye with a smile: "The letters from the main road are only collected every ten days. This is an urgent delivery. A knight will come to pick it up tomorrow and rush to Chang'an.
Arrive in Chang'an two days later, transfer for one day, and deliver it to the recipient on the third day. No matter how rest assured, the young master has spent so much money, it will definitely be delivered.
When Li Ye returned to the inn, he suddenly saw countless people running wildly on the street, heading towards Pujin Pass. Seeing that the shopkeeper was also looking around, Li Ye smiled and asked: "Shopkeeper, what happened?"
"I heard that the official's body was found. It was found on the other side and has been sent over."
"Isn't there another drunkard?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Who cares about the corpse of a drunkard? Dozens of people drown here every year. Who has ever cared about it?"
"Will the ferry open tomorrow?"
"It should be open now. The ferry is so busy! No one dares to seal it unless they have to. Now that the body has been found, there is no reason to seal the ferry."
Early the next morning, the ferry opened as expected, but the interrogation was very strict. The body of the drunkard was probably not found. Wang Wen and his entourage all suspected deliberate murder. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the censor Zhongcheng fell into the water.
Li Ye led his horse to the interrogation gate. Without waiting for the soldiers to ask, he took out his guerrilla general fish charm and handed it over, "Go to Taiyuan on business!"
The guerrilla general was from the fifth rank. The leading soldier did not dare to offend him. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers immediately opened the pole and let him go.
At this time, someone behind him shouted: "Let me go! Why are you arresting me?"
Li Ye looked back and saw a very sturdy young man being caught by the soldiers. He was wearing a black short coat, the same clothes he wore yesterday.
Li Ye shook his head and led his horse towards the ferry.
At noon, Li Ye found Hei Spear, whose pseudonym was Ding Sheng, at Yuelai Inn. Hei Spear reported to Li Ye how to assassinate Wang Xian.
"It's actually very simple. I heard from his servant that there were snakes in the house, so I bought a highly poisonous krait at the market and threw it on Wang Xian's bed at night. In the morning, his body was stiff
."
"Did their family report to the official?" Li Ye asked again.
"No official report was made, but another body was brought to his house today, and a large number of officials rushed to his house."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Let's pack up and go!"
In Pingkangfang, Chang'an, a hurried delivery man wearing red and black soap clothes ran to Wangji Grocery Store and said, "Shopkeeper, I have something urgent for you!"
The shopkeeper Wang Xiaomian quickly came out and took the letter. When he saw a black triangle symbol in the upper right corner of the envelope, he nodded and said: "I accepted it, thank you very much!"
Wang Xiaomian asked his wife to look after the store. He took the letter and walked quickly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Guard Wang Kuan presented the letter to Li Linfu, and Li Linfu nodded, "Go ahead!"
Wang Kuan bowed and retreated.
Li Linfu sat at the table, then opened the letter and read it again, and then looked at the small piece of dark red leather that fell out of the envelope. Sun Tzu had already obtained it and destroyed all Wang Gong's letters.
Li Linfu sighed in a low voice. With his grandson gone, he actually felt that he was alone.
Historically, Wang Gong's case broke out in the 10th and 11th years of Tianbao. After Li Linfu was implicated, he completely lost the trust of the emperor Li Longji, and then fell ill, and he was very ill. At this time, he had not been dismissed.
.
But Li Longji had disappeared. He wanted to beg Li Longji to forgive his family, but he had no chance. Before he died, he begged Yang Guozhong for forgiveness, but Yang Guozhong did not agree.
The Li Linfu family was liquidated in the twelfth year of Tianbao. They were framed by Yang Guozhong and An Lushan. The entire family was liquidated and all were dismissed from their posts. Li Linfu was dragged out and whipped to death.
In this book, Wang Gong must be eradicated in advance. Although it will weaken Li Linfu's strength, because Wang Gong knows too much, once the case is revealed, Li Linfu's background will be wiped out, so killing him in advance is not a bad thing.
