After saying these words, Wang Yan cupped his hands towards Zhao Ding and said, "Mr. Zhao, I don't know what you mean. Even if the blueprint is found outside, does it have to do with me and others? Maybe it was accidentally leaked by King Jin."
Zhao Ding smiled coldly. Wang Yan was really powerful. He would dare to say anything in order to escape guilt. Cao Liang and Lei Wenyuan next to him also raised their hands and agreed, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, what Chief Wang said is also true."
It makes sense, perhaps His Highness Prince Jin accidentally let the news slip."
But surprisingly, Zhao Ding was not angry. Instead, he touched his chin and started thinking. After a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "Three adults, don't be offended. Maybe your highness has made a mistake. Please come back for the time being. Please come back."
Think carefully, and if you remember anything, please come and tell me quickly. This matter is a serious matter, and if something happens, we will not be able to get through it easily."
"Yes, yes, Master Zhao is right. I'll resign first." The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Ding was selling in this gourd.
As soon as the three people left, Zhao Ding immediately looked aside and shouted out with a solemn expression, "Yang Yi, send the order, go down and control Lei Wenyuan with all your strength. Remember, no matter what happens, don't alert the enemy."
Yang Yi was shocked when he heard this, "Mr. Zhao, is there something wrong with Lei Wenyuan?" Yang Yi was puzzled. He saw what happened just now clearly and didn't see anything unusual about Lei Wenyuan.
"There is nothing wrong with Lei Wenyuan, but he is a little abnormal," Zhao Ding said slowly, explaining his reasons. What he just said about finding a reconstruction plan of the City God's Tower outside was nothing more than a cover to deceive these three people.
They are just people. I hope that one of the three will show off. However, the three of them behaved quite normally. It is common for officials to bite each other and shirk responsibility. But what Lei Wenyuan said is a bit intriguing. Since the interrogation
There are three people, so naturally we need to know something about them.
According to the intelligence office's investigation, Cao Liang did treat Lei Wenyuan to dinner a few days ago, but the meal was at Zuixian Tower. The two of them had not booked a private room, but had it in the lobby on the first floor. Could you please give me some information?
If you want to copy the drawings, who would go to the lobby of Zuixian Tower to drink, where people are coming and going, and are you not afraid of being discovered? Therefore, even if Cao Liang takes the opportunity to copy, he cannot copy while drinking in Zuixian Tower.
How could Lei Wenyuan not understand such a simple truth?
Lei Wenyuan is not a fool. He has been ranked as a Jinshi twice and has read many poems and books. He is definitely a smart man. However, a smart man uses such ridiculous reasons to bite Cao Liang. Isn't it abnormal?
Just like the previous judgment, in some respects, Zhao Ding and the three Ministry of Industry officials are grasshoppers on a rope. If something happens to Chenghuang Terrace, none of them will be able to get better, and Lei Wenyuan's performance will not be better.
This has been proven, but using ridiculous reasons to bite Cao Liang seems too impatient.
It is impossible for Lei Wenyuan to do anything at the Chenghuang Tower for the sake of a family, but the random biting seems to deliberately disturb the situation and let the three of them bite each other. It is more like protecting someone. Lei Wenyuan doesn't have much problem
, but Lei Wenyuan must have thought of something, otherwise he would not bite Cao Liang like this and mess up the situation.
After leaving the Chenghuang Terrace, the three officials from the Ministry of Industry all had stinking faces, and their expressions were not very good-looking. They had just bitten each other, and their faces were torn. Cao Liang even despised Lei Wenyuan. I am kind enough to treat you to a meal.
Wine, you turned the tables on me. The relationship was tense, so I didn’t bother to say another word, so I cupped my hands and left. Cao Liang and Wang Yan must have been angry, but Lei Wenyuan was more anxious, as he left with a sigh.
He was so quiet that he didn't notice that there were many people following behind him.
Back at the Lei Mansion, Lei Wenyuan called out his wife. The Lei family's wife was in a daze and couldn't help complaining, "Husband, why are you torturing my family in the middle of the night?"
"Hurry up and get dressed and go find that worthless thing. I have something to ask him." Lei Wenyuan looked serious. Mrs. Lei hadn't seen her husband so serious for a long time, so she didn't dare to neglect. She just muttered a few words and then He hurried to the other courtyard. Not long after, a thin young man in his twenties came to the house with Mrs. Lei. This young man was Lei Wenyuan's son, **long.
**Long yawned, sat down in the chair, stretched out his legs, and said lazily, "Dad, why did you wake up the child in the middle of the night?"
"You worthless thing, tell me the truth, did you get a drawing when you went to the study that day?" Lei Wenyuan stared at his eyes, seeming to spit out fire. **Long scratched his head and thought for a while, huh He said, "Dad, are you talking about the blueprint of Chenghuang Terrace? I took it. It was just a broken blueprint, and someone actually offered me 10,000 yuan. Dad, we made a lot of money this time..." "
"Pah!" Before **Long could finish his words, he received a loud scratch on his face. At this time, Lei Wenyuan stood upright, swinging his legs and muttering to himself, "Death." Yeah, I'm going to die. I want to be cautious in my work, but when I get old, it's ruined by an incompetent villain. After this, it's completely over. God is going to destroy my Lei family!"
Half of **Long's face was swollen, and Mrs. Lei was a little anxious, "Husband, what are you doing? Isn't it just selling for some money? The money can make the family live more comfortably, and other families are like this too. I haven’t seen how others are doing either.”
"You... I'm a woman, you are the one who got this evil boy to behave like this. I wish I could kill him!" Lei Wenyuan only has such a son. If he had several sons, it would really be like a sword stabbing him. If you die, you can give King Jin an explanation.
After being yelled at by her husband, Mrs. Lei sat down on the ground and immediately started yelling, "I can't live anymore. Since you don't want us, then we should die, so as not to taint you, the great emperor of the court." member’s face!”
Mrs. Lei acted mischievously, and she usually did it once and for all, but this time it didn't work. Lei Wenyuan took a few deep breaths and angrily said, "It's not easy to die, so go ahead and die, otherwise I will be in trouble." .
After that, he stretched out his hand to grab the lapel of **Long's clothes, and slapped him twice again, which only made **Long stunned. "You bastard, do you know how sinful what you did is? If something really happened to Chenghuangtai, , the Iron Governor was harmed, and the hundreds of people in our Lei family are not enough to kill those rough guys from the Northern Shanxi Army. If you still want to survive, hurry up and tell me who copied the drawings. If it's too late, it's Daluo Jinxian. I can't save you."
**Long was really blinded and frightened. His father, who used to be gentle and gentle, is now like a tiger. Mrs. Lei didn't dare to be rude anymore, because it was too scary to have the whole family copied and beheaded. Is it just a blueprint? Could it harm King Jin? Although she is a prostitute, she also knows who has the final say in the Ming Dynasty and can offend anyone. Don’t make King Jin angry.
"Dad...it's...it was bought by Bao Wenhan from Nancheng..."
Upon hearing Bao Wenhan's name, Lei Wenyuan let go of his hand and trotted to the courtyard. Soon there was a clanging sound in the courtyard, and Lei Wenyuan led all the Lei family servants to Nancheng.
Lei Wenyuan knew very well that his little ancestor had caused too much trouble. The only chance now was to catch Bao Wenhan and find clues. As long as he could perform meritorious deeds, he might be able to reduce his guilt. What Lei Wenyuan didn't know was that,
Not far from Lei's house when he led his men, people from the intelligence office had already surrounded Bao Wenhan's home in Nancheng.
Bao Wenhan is a merchant of medicinal materials in Bianliang. He is somewhat famous, and the Bao family's residence is quite impressive in Nancheng. At this time, Zhao Ding was standing at the door of Bao's family with a sneer on his lips, "Come in, my officer."
To live."
There was a noise in the Bao family, and Bao Wenhan, who was sleeping, was captured alive by the Intelligence Department. Lei Wenyuan arrived late. When he saw people from the Intelligence Department coming in and out of the Bao family, he squatted on the ground. It was over, there was no hope at all.
.
At the Governor's Mansion, Tie Mo listened to Zhao Ding's narration. Although Zhao Ding was worried about the sacrificial ceremony, the ceremony could not be postponed. Tie Mo breathed out, waved his hand and said, "Master Zhao, I will leave all the rest to you.
The Superintendent will hand over the Tiger Talisman to you. If necessary, you can take the Tiger Talisman to the garrison camp and dispatch soldiers and horses from Chen Yaofeng and Li Yuanqing to assist you. In short, the Superintendent will ensure that the sacrificial ceremony goes smoothly."
"Yes, Supervisor, how should Lei Wenyuan deal with it?"
"Lei Wenyuan?" He thought that Lei Wenyuan was also an old minister with good abilities, so it was a pity to kill him. After thinking about it for a while, Tie Mo said softly, "Lei Wenyuan was demoted by two levels. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will accept it. The Lei family
The only son, **Long, leaked the secrets of the City God's Tower and endangered His Majesty's safety. He committed a heinous crime. In memory of Lei Wenyuan, a veteran minister of the court, who had worked hard and achieved great results, he was beheaded and exiled to Guangnan."
The next day, after Lei Wenyuan's execution, Lei Wenyuan knelt down and kowtowed, crying with gratitude, "My lord, thank you, King Jin, for your grace!"
As soon as he was old enough, he became a minister, and then he took another step up to become a minister, and then he retired and returned to his hometown in glory. However, when he was old, he was demoted two levels in a row. His official career was lost in this life, and his son was exiled to Guangnan. For
For an official, this kind of punishment was very serious, but Lei Wenyuan was still grateful to the King of Jin for his kindness, because at least the King of Jin left incense for the Lei family.
The fragrance of April in the world has ended, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple have begun to bloom. It is now early June, and even the peach blossoms have faded and turned into green fruits. But the green fruits look beautiful, but taste extremely bitter.
. Just like now, although Bao Wenhan has been caught and it seems that a clue has been found, in fact whether this fruit can be swallowed depends on the next development.
Tie Mo could feel how serious this matter was, so he gave Zhao Ding the Troop Tiger Talisman. No one knew what kind of conspiracy would be uncovered next. Without the help of soldiers and horses, Zhao Ding might not be able to complete it safely.
Task.
The area next to the Governor's Mansion has been rebuilt, and the original small courtyard has been completely converted into a large prison. At this time, there is a person hanging in the interrogation room. Next to it are two shirtless men holding a whip. Zhao Ding is sitting in a chair, with a look in his eyes.
With a cold expression, "Bao Wenhan, I advise you to tell everything you know. As long as you are willing to tell, I will keep you safe."
Since Bao Wenhan was imprisoned in the prison, he was tortured by several sergeants without saying a word. Zhao Ding was eager to get useful information and had to come and take a look in person. Not to mention, Bao Wenhan was really
He was very hard and had been beaten for a quarter of an hour, but he still refused to say anything. Bao Wenhan lowered his head and said nothing, just breathing heavily. Zhao Ding was helpless about this.
He is good at investigating crimes, but not very good at interrogation. The few soldiers around him have some brute force, and they know how to fight during interrogation. It would be great if Commander Sha was here, he is a good interrogator. Zhao Ding is not
I wasted my patience with Bao Wenhan. The sacrifice ceremony was going to be in two days. Bao Wenhan was exhausted, but he, Zhao Ding, could not. After fighting for a long time, there was no harvest. Zhao Ding walked around the room angrily.
From time to time, he also glanced at the sergeants in charge of the interrogation.
Several soldiers also felt that they had been wronged and panicked. In the past, when things happened in the army, they were always tried like this. The only blame was Bao Wenhan's stinky stone.
A sergeant walked in from outside, lay down and said something in Zhao Ding's ear. Then he saw Zhao Ding's eyes lit up with joy, walked over and lifted Bao Wenhan's chin, and said with a cold smile, "Bao Wenhan, I know
Your status is not high, and you don’t know much. You also know that there are two people hiding in Majia Lane. You love your wife and children very much, right? Haha, think about it carefully, if those people know that you have
After being thrown into jail, will they not take precautions against you? How do you think they will treat your wife and children in order to ensure that everything is safe?"
Bao Wenhan, who had half-closed his eyes and said nothing, suddenly shuddered. Although he hadn't spoken yet, Zhao Ding felt that he had touched Bao Wenhan's weak spot, so he hit the rails while the iron was hot, "The rules of the Maitreya religion must be better than yours."
I know better, what will be the consequences if someone is sentenced? As long as I am willing, I can let it out now, saying that Bao Yuanwai is grateful for the kindness of the court and surrenders to His Highness the King of Jin. You said, after getting this news, Maitreya Church
How?"
Zhao Ding was not sure whether Bao Wenhan was a member of the Maitreya Cult, but he didn't mind deceiving him. As long as he was right, there would be gains. As Zhao Ding continued to speak word by word, Bao Wenhan's heart
The mountains are collapsing little by little. He is not afraid of death. If he dares to do such a thing, is he still afraid of death? But he doesn't want his wife and children to have any problems, so he sent them to Majia Lane early, but for some reason, he was still attacked by Zhao.
The people of Ding have found it, the people of Zhao Ding can find it, and the Maitreya Cult can also find it.
When he thought of the Maitreya Cult's treatment of traitors, his heart almost burst out of his chest. Suddenly, Bao Wenhan's eyes widened, and he burst out of strength from nowhere. He pulled on the iron rope and roared, "What can someone named Zhao do to me?"
Hello, if someone frowns, it’s you who raised me. You are a high-ranking official in the imperial court, but you always attack women and children. What kind of good man do you think you are?"
"No, no, no, Bao Wenhan, you are mistaken. It is not what I want to do to your wife and children, but what to do to Maitreya Church. I just let people spread some words, but I did not say that I want to harm a woman and children!
"
The smile on Zhao Ding's face is getting deeper and deeper. Now, Bao Wenhan's identity can be completely confirmed. He is indeed working for the Maitreya Sect. This way, it will be much easier to handle. This chapter has been completed!
