Study A, Su Wei quietly listened to Han Shouzhong's account of the case. He was not surprised, but instead showed a look of fear in his eyes. Yang Yuanqing had obtained evidence of Wang Xu's affair with the Tang Dynasty at least ten months ago.
But he endured it and waited until today, his cunning made him feel heartbroken.
Su Wei walked a few steps behind his back, sighed softly, and said to himself, "He is not like Emperor Wu, but he has a bit of Emperor Wen's scheming, which may not be a bad thing."
Su Wei sat down slowly again, stared at Han Shouzhong and said, "From how the King of Chu dealt with Wang Su, you will know how you should start."
The King of Chu did not dismiss Wang Su's dismissal, but demoted him to Sima of Boling County. Han Shouzhong also considered this point. He asked carefully: "Can this be understood as the King of Chu doesn't want to alarm the snake?"
Su Wei shook his head, "You can't understand this way. You have to understand what the fundamental purpose of Your Highness Chu to deal with the Wang family? It is not to destroy the Wang family, but to put "spread the wings without a watermark" to suppress the Wang family, and to "spread the wings" from the powerful family.
There is no watermark, "It is a weak family, so Wang Su was demoted instead of being dismissed. Understand this point, you will know what to do."
"I understand. Thank you for your advice. In addition, the Anjin Temple case, the King of Chu has ordered me to stop investigating. I am very sorry for this matter and eventually became a unsolved case."
Su Wei laughed, "The case has not stopped. The inner guards are secretly investigating the matter, but you don't know. I guess they have found it out."
Han Shou was shocked, and the inner guard was also investigating the case, but he didn't even know anything.
Su Wei looked at him and said earnestly, "The assassination case is not important, what is important is the case of the Wang family. The Ziwei Pavilion will be adjusted in early April. You must finish Wang Xu's case before the Prime Minister adjusts, that is,
You only have half a month at most.”
Han Shouzhong nodded silently. After only half a month, he felt a huge pressure.
...
After Yang Yuanqing came back, the Chu Palace obviously began to get busy. The merchants came to deliver ox carts with pulp and meat to eat several times than before. There were hundreds of more personal soldiers in the palace to have dinner. This is a big "spread wings without watermarks"
thing.
Not only did the ox carts come more often, but even the family of the Chu Palace went out to do business, sending letters, buying miscellaneous items, etc. From morning to night, people kept leaving Wang Yi to go to the street to do business.
At noon, another family member led an old horse from the palace and walked across the guard house. This man dressed like a housekeeper, about thirty years old, with a small nose and small eyes, and looked pretty
Smart and capable, this man's surname is Jiang, and he is the fourth housekeeper of the Chu Palace, responsible for managing the vehicles and horses of the entire palace.
It is because the moon is the first to get to the water. When other families go out to do business, they mostly run away on two legs or take a carriage for transporting goods in the royal palace. However, the butler Jiang can ride an old horse when he goes to do business.
"Fourth housekeeper, go out if you have something to do!" The soldiers guarding the home bridge had known him and greeted him enthusiastically.
"The handrail on the Second Lady's carriage is broken, and the mansion cannot be repaired. Go to Taipei City to see if you can buy a new one."
Butler Jiang answered casually.
"Butler Cheung walks slowly!"
Butler Jiang turned over and urged the horse to go to the north city. At this time, a young woman riding a donkey came out from an alley opposite. She was about twenty-three or four years old, wearing a light red cloth skirt and neatly combed her hair.
All the same, the silver hairpin was inserted diagonally, and the two faces were covered with red rouge, and the person looked thick and black.
This little wife dressed up and rode a donkey, and was seen everywhere in Taiyuan City. It was so ordinary. Except for the middle-aged uncle who could not marry a wife, no one would pay attention to her.
The young woman waved the bamboo whip and gently beat the donkey. She followed Butler Jiang from afar and headed towards the North City.
Taipei City is the largest distribution center for goods in Taiyuan City and even Hedong. It covers an area of hundreds of acres and has thousands of shops, from luxurious jewelry and silk to ordinary firewood, rice, oil and salt.
With the stability of the situation in Hedong, people live and work in peace and contentment, and with the rapid development of Fenshui shipping, the business in Hedong has gradually flourished. People in Taipei City are coming and going, and shouting and hawking sounds are coming one after another, and even holding them.
The camel's Sogdian caravan looked through the crowd, looking for business opportunities.
The flow of people was too large and it was difficult to ride a horse. Butler Jiang could only lead the old horse and walked hard in the crowded crowd. Thirty steps behind him, the young woman was very flexible on the donkey and followed the road.
Butler Jiang bought what he needed in the carriage store, but he did not turn around, but continued to walk forward, exited the Taipei City from another door, walked again and came to the comparison.
In front of a remote alley.
This belt is close to the city wall, the houses are dilapidated, and basically they are rented businessmen doing business in Taipei City. At this time, the merchants are busy with business in Taipei City, making this belt look particularly deserted, and only by chance will there be cargo transport.
The carriage rushed past.
Butler Jiang looked at both sides and found no abnormality. He went straight into the alley. After a moment, after a house dozens of steps away, a young woman riding a donkey appeared. She still walked past the alley as if nothing had happened.
, the eyes were swept, the alley was not deep, only the house, the door had just been closed.
The young woman waved her whip and whipped the donkey and left this remote area slowly.
"You can't keep your word!"
In the room, Butler Jiang was very angry and pressed the table to yell at the woman sitting opposite him, "After the good thing is done, pay off all the remaining 800 taels of silver, why is it only fifty taels?"
The room was very dark and the curtains were drawn. A young man with a strong figure stood in front of the window and stared at the yard from the crack of the curtain, his slender eyes were filled with coldness and cruelty.
In addition to him, there was also a seductive young woman sitting opposite to Butler Jiang. She was wearing heavy makeup, her lips were bright red, and her face was covered with snow-white. She was not frightened by Butler Jiang's anger, but a delicate voice.
He said: "But nothing happened."
"That's because you are incompetent, what does it have to do with me?"
Perhaps because of the woman sitting opposite, butler Jiang had a very high voice. He looked at the two silver cakes on the table. The dream that he had longed for for a few days was shattered. He couldn't help but yelled again: "
You must give me the money, otherwise I will sue you to the government.”
The young man standing in front of the curtain burst into murderous intent in his eyes. He gently tapped the window with his slender white fingers. This was a signal.
A sharp spurt suddenly appeared in the charming woman's hand, and her white wrist turned around, and it pierced into Butler Jiang's heart very quickly.
Butler Jiang opened his mouth wide, staring at the charming woman in surprise and despair. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He reached out his hand weakly to grab the silver on the table, but in the end he caught nothing,'Bang!, - The corpse was planted.
Descend to the ground.
The charming woman drew the "spread wings without watermark" and produced the "spread wings without watermark" water mark. Two men in black came in from outside and dragged Butler Jiang's body away, leaving only men and women in the room.
The charming woman stared at the tall and tall man and said quietly: "Why do you want to kill him? What a pity!"
"He has developed a betrayal, and such a person can no longer be used." The man's tone was very cold and he had no feelings.
The charming woman was still a little dissatisfied with her boss's orders, "It's not easy to buy him. Now the Princess Chu and the Prince have not been killed yet. We can't explain when we go back. What do you think you should do?"
The man's tone was still very cold, without a human breath, "Yu Ji, don't think you and the young master have been in bed a few times and can talk to me like this. I remind you that you are already on the verge of death.
The charming woman suddenly laughed sweetly, stepped forward and hugged the man's waist from behind, murmured in his ear: "I understand, you are jealous."
The man pushed her away without any pity, "Pack up your things and leave! Don't stay here anymore."
The charming woman was pushed away by him, feeling embarrassed, and a look of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she asked in anger: "Why do you want to leave?"
The man turned around, held her lower body with his slender fingers, and shook his head disdainfully, "Besides having a beautiful face, your head is: Baocao, didn't this butler Jiang keep his hands? Soon,
The army will come to the door."
The charming woman's face changed, she immediately turned around and went out, and shouted a few commands in the yard. Several men in black in the yard immediately changed their clothes and dressed up as businessmen. The charming woman also wore a curtain covering her body.
, and soon finished packing, and quarter of an hour later, pedestrians left the yard and drove out of the alley by carriage.
Half an hour later, the team of more than 300 guards rushed over. They were wearing helmets and armor, holding bows in their hands, "spreading wings without watermarks" crossbows and spears, surrounded the alleys, saying that Ben was riding a horse.
In front of the alley, the horse whip is pointed, "Breaking open the door!"
The soldiers kicked open the yard door and rushed in, but unfortunately, the house was empty and there was no one else.
"Bad!"
—The famous lieutenant kicked the door of the foot and cursed secretly, and had to go out to report to Wei Ben, "General, we are late, they just left, and the water in the kitchen is still hot."
Wei Ben was not angry, and the other party left hastily, and it would definitely leave many useful clues, not like the last assassin, there were no clues.
"Search carefully, you can't let go of every place. Please find the owner of this house!"
The soldiers began to search carefully and soon found many things that the other party had not had time to take away. At this time, a soldier brought the landlord over, and the landlord fell to his knees in fear.
"Who rented your house?" Wei Ben asked coldly.
The landlord replied tremblingly: "Report to the general, it is a charming young woman with a white face. She rented it for two months with fifty taels of silver."
"A charming woman, what's her last name? Who is she from?"
"Report to the general, my house is usually rented for five taels of silver for a month. She paid ten times the rent, the condition is that I don't ask anything, the villain really knows nothing, but her official words are not standard
It seems like I am a fellow villager, the villain is from Youzhou, but it is a bit different."
"Are you from Chang'an?"
"No! It's not that people in Chang'an don't eat the accent..."
At this time, the shouts of soldiers came from the yard, "General Wei, we dug up the body of Butler Jiang."
