Chapter 17 Truth is False When Truth Is False
Xiao Wan'er came to a back alley with no one alone, and behind him, a dark shadow walked out of the small alley, and after noticing that there were no strangers around, he knelt down respectfully and saluted Xiao Wan'er.
"Gong ...... Lord, we have sent more people to investigate the matter you have ordered to investigate, but we still have not gained much, and the spies of the enemy country are too cunning!"
Xiao Wan'er turned to look at Ziyu dressed in men's clothes behind her, she and Hongyu have been serving by her side all these years, Ziyu is clever and active, and Hongyu is calm and resourceful, they are both her indispensable right-hand men.
Now he has quietly entered Beijing, just to secretly investigate the enemy spies who have infiltrated the capital, and the task is heavy, but it is also full of dangers. That night, it was not easy to find a clue, and the design lured the person who pulled the string out, and wanted to subdue this person and then interrogate him carefully, but he didn't think that the person's martial arts were not weak, and he suddenly plotted and put poison needles indiscriminately.
Although I regretted that the clue was interrupted, I was more concerned about Ziyu's safety, and I thought that I could take her to seek medical treatment, but I never thought that Gao Chen would suddenly appear there, so there was an abrupt meeting that night.
I never thought that I would meet the princess who was hand-picked by my grandmother for herself in this situation. To be honest, the first time we met, it was really terrible!
He was full of alcohol, Xu was drunk, and was grabbed by Ziyu and thrown on the ground, Ziyu was worried about fraud, and stabbed him with a sword to try his bottom first, how did he know that he didn't seem to know the slightest kung fu, and grabbed it indiscriminately, but happened to touch the corpse.
He threw up, threw up, and I think he was scared by the dead.
I spoke up to stop Ziyu from continuing to attack him, if it was a killer, he wouldn't be so panicked when he saw a dead person, he was an unlucky guy who appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In order to carry out the mission, Ziyu was murderous towards him.
I didn't have compassion for him, and if Ziyu really wanted to kill him, I don't think I would have stopped it at that time.
He reacted quickly, knowing that his life was at stake, and immediately made a move to beg for mercy, even the rhetoric was very old-fashioned, for some reason, I suddenly had an urge to laugh, thinking that it might not be bad to spare his life, but this thought was only a fleeting thought.
Knowing his true identity, or because of the phoenix pendant hanging around his neck, at the moment when the jade pendant was revealed, Ziyu and I were a little surprised, we didn't expect that this person was actually the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family, my future concubine - Gao Chen!
Ziyu couldn't believe her eyes, and with a sword pick, she sent the piece of phoenix pendant to me, Ziyu has followed me for many years, and knows that the phoenix pendant means a lot to me.
She quickly guessed the identity of the person in front of her, and her eyes widened suddenly, but she never thought that the Empress Dowager would actually marry the eldest princess to such a weak and incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death, resentment and grief were overflowing, and she said that sentence with some excitement, saying:
"How can a person like you, a person like you, be worthy of ......"
At that moment, my heart also fell into the ice cave, although I was ready to marry Gao Chen in accordance with the imperial grandmother's decree, and I never thought of being a couple with him that everyone envied, as long as I could not interfere with each other, there was nothing wrong with fake phoenixes.
However, when I really want to marry this person, I am a little unwilling, why is it him, why is it such a person?
I held Feng Pei tightly, and at that moment a trace of resentment flashed in my mind, if he died......
The coolness transmitted from the phoenix jade to the palm of my hand made me suddenly wake up, he can't die, otherwise it will affect the overall situation of the DPRK and China. Even if he dies, there will be no change in the matter of me marrying into Gaomen, just from marrying Gao Chen to marrying Gao Wei.
Moreover, the imperial grandmother once said that the person who holds this piece of phoenix pendant is the person I can trust, and he is the person I can trust?!
I looked at Gao Chen, who had been kneeling and begging for mercy, in disbelief, at that moment, I complained a little about the emperor's grandmother, even more for myself, and for him......
"I'm just an inconsequential person, go ......"
I only know that I have never been as out of control as that night, but I didn't expect that sentence to come out, not only hurt him, but also hurt myself!
......
With a faint sigh, Ziyu's words echoed in his ears, pulling Xiao Wan'er's thoughts back.
Let her get up and speak, in the past month, she has worked hard for herself, and the number of people has been reduced a lot, which is really hard for her.
"Perhaps, from the very beginning, we went in the wrong direction!"
When Ziyu heard that the lord suddenly raised such an objection, didn't she find out what news?
In the past few days, Ziyu has inquired through various channels about the various characters who have suddenly appeared in Beijing in the past few months, merchants, students, and even peddlers, pawns, as long as the actions are slightly strange and mysterious, they have been closely investigated and monitored by secret agents, but unfortunately the effect is not great.
Ziyu regretted a little, an informant who was finally caught that day, because he was in a hurry, he killed him, and before he could find out which country this spy came from, the clue was interrupted.
When the general trend is today, there is not only the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also the Northern Qi Dynasty in the east, the lower reaches of the Yellow River are divided, the Chen State is south of the Yangtze River, and there are Turkic invaders in the north all the year round.
These enemy spies are not only responsible for listening to important military intelligence of various countries, but also spread rumors, disturb the people's minds, incite rebellion, and bring disaster to the country and the people during special periods.
The Lord has put a lot of effort into catching this group of people, and many spies have fallen into the legal net, and it is difficult to hide. However, I recently received news that an important spy from a certain country had infiltrated the capital and was plotting against him, and in order to find out the identity and purpose of this group of people, it took a lot of energy and time not to mention, but there were very few things that could be found.
"What does the Lord mean?"
Ziyu couldn't help but ask.
"If I were them, I would definitely try my best to hide my identity and not attract the attention of others, so that I can act!"
Xiao Wan'er lightly put forward this reasonable speculation.
"Well, that's why we've spent so much time and energy on finding out those who are secretive and unidentified!"
Ziyu nodded, filtering through the deployment and plans made during this time in her mind, trying to find out if there was anything missing.
"I'm talking about the wrong direction of the investigation, and that's it. I don't think they're trying to hide their identities, they're still acting under our noses!"
People are sometimes bound by fixed thinking, thinking that this is the way it should be, but if you meet a smart and cunning opponent, who knows that he will not do the opposite?
Knowing this, thanks to the farce of the real and false Xiaoyaosheng in the afternoon, the person who pretended to be Xiaoyaosheng used the same means.
When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.
It is precisely because he has the identity of a free life and is active in the capital that he will be ignored by the secret agents.
The corners of Xiao Wan'er's mouth rose slightly, it seems that the opponent this time is not so simple!
"Ziyu, you help me investigate which new masters have entered the Beijing painting scene in recent years, especially pay attention to a person named Xiaoyaosheng in it!"
Ziyu suddenly realized that with a new direction of investigation, it was just around the corner to catch those enemy spies.
"Yes!"
Ziyu bowed her head and took the order.
"We have to make a quick decision, the imperial grandmother has already issued a decree to summon the eldest princess back to the palace, before that, we will do our best to end this matter!"
"Yes...... Your Highness the Princess!"
Xiao Wan stood with his hands in his hands, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and thought for a while......
The next day, I finally waited for the dispersal of the dynasty, and after finishing the work at hand, it was past noon, and I left the palace in a rage and went straight to Yang Anyuan's house.
Today it is his turn to give lectures and lectures in Guozijian, and there is no need to go back to the Hanlin Academy, so I will personally go to his house to intercept him!
When I arrived at his house, I knew that this guy hadn't come back yet, at this hour, I finally got a vacation, he must have been drinking and enjoying himself in a flower building, and he got the news from his personal attendant that he was now drinking flower wine in the building!
Okay, you Yang Anyuan, don't let me find you, if you find me, you have to break your dog's legs!
No, I ran angrily to the Hua Manlou......
I kicked open the door, Yang Anyuan, who was hugging the beauties and drinking all day, was suddenly dumbfounded, and the beauties were frightened by my menacing appearance, thinking that they were seeking revenge, and they ran out of the room screaming.
Yang Anyuan saw that my face was gloomy, and he secretly screamed in his heart, while accompanying the smiling face, he moved towards the door, and asked with a smile:
"Oh, I thought it was a noble person who came, it turned out to be a senior brother, you have to come and tell my brother earlier, engage in this big battle, look at those beauties, how bad the impact is!"
I looked at him with a smile, and before anyone else could reach the door, I kicked it tightly, and then closed the door, blocking his way.
"Yang Anyuan, do you still dare to claim to be my brother? Say, what good things have you done?"
In the end, I basically yelled, and I didn't shoot this bastard to death immediately, and I was a little lamented that my self-control was amazing!
Yang Anyuan was so frightened that he immediately hid behind the wine table, afraid that I would punch him twice in the face as soon as I walked up, he saw that I was angry, and he knew that the bad things he had done were exposed, and there were only two ways left in front of him, either confess or deny it.
Confessing will be beaten by Gao Chen, but if you don't admit it, you will be beaten to death by him!
Yang Anyuan trembled, the smell of wine dissipated, and hurriedly bowed his head to admit his mistake, with a sincere attitude, and said:
"I know that I can't be punished, I shouldn't get drunk and lose that Huangtian stone seal gambling to others!"
What? Gambling with someone while drunk? Losing a bet on my seal?
"Yang Anyuan, come here, I promise not to kill you!"
I rushed to the wine table, trying to catch Yang Anyuan, but he played with me and ran in circles, the two ran along the somewhat wide round table several times, I couldn't catch him, and he couldn't get rid of me, just like that, both of them were so tired that they began to gasp!
I looked at the table full of dishes and wine glasses, and I wanted to smash Yang Anyuan's guy when I picked up the wine glasses, I was really angry, this kid shouldn't use my seal to make a bet, even if he was drunk and lost to others, he shouldn't hide it from me so far, and made a fake seal to fool me?
It's really an exaggeration!
Raising his hand, he was about to smash the wine glass over, Yang Anyuan was so frightened that he immediately hid under the table, and kept crying and begging for mercy in his mouth, it seems that he is really frightened, he has never seen me so angry, I am afraid that if I go down this wine glass, he will see blood.
I realized that I had indeed gone a little too far, and tried to calm my anger and threw the wine glass back on the table, if this wine glass was really thrown down, the cost of this bastard's injury medicine and the loss of this flower building, I still have to pad it, it is really worth the loss!
sat down, I really should have a good talk with him calmly, to find out who the fake person is, I have to rely on Yang Anyuan, this kid to confess to me.
"Okay, don't pretend, sit down for me, and talk honestly!"
Yang Anyuan knew that I wouldn't beat him, so he came out from under the table with a sneer, and sat down opposite me, looking a little cowering, not daring to come out, looking like he was waiting for a crime.
"When?"
"About a month ago, I borrowed it from you for a few days!"
I tried not to give him such a hammer in the head right away!
"Who did you lose the seal to?"
As soon as this question came out, Yang Anyuan also had a vague impression, he was drunk that night, so he would take the seal and make a gambling contract with the person under the instigation of a few words from others, and then lost inexplicably, and the seal lost to the other party.
Yang Anyuan tried hard to recall the scene at that time, picked up the wine glass on the table and tried to recreate the scene at that time, only then did he gradually take on the appearance of that person, and hurriedly said:
"I remembered, that is an extraordinary looking son, he has elegant manners, good bearing, and generous hands, should be a famous family, either rich or expensive! Speaking of which, I know most of the kings and grandsons of the capital, but I have never seen this person, impossible, if there is such an outstanding son in a famous family, it is impossible for me not to know!"
Hearing this, I not only raised my forehead and pondered, but it seemed that things were far more tricky than I imagined.
"But what's wrong?"
Yang Anyuan realized that something might have happened, otherwise, I wouldn't be so angry, he has never seen me so out of shape!
"Yes, something happened, something big happened!"
I looked at Yang Anyuan coldly, making him uncomfortable and trembling.
"You should know what I hate the most?"
Yang Anyuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his face turned pale.
"What I hate the most is to be unlucky, to deceive women's feelings, and to be incorruptible and shameless!"
"Is it ......?"
Yang Anyuan had a bad premonition in his heart.
"That person pretended to be a free life, and he messed with flowers and grass everywhere, and his reputation was ruined, and what was even more infuriating was that he also got involved with the daughter of Chen Yuan's foreign family!"
Yang Anyuan was so frightened that his feet went weak, he didn't expect that things would turn out like this, this was beyond the scope of what he could bear!
"Yang Anyuan, you'd better find out who that person is for me, where is it now, otherwise, ......"
I left it here, Yang Anyuan knew that I wasn't joking, this incident started because of him, if we don't find out about this matter, I'm afraid the consequences of the incident are not something we can afford!
Yang Anyuan's hands trembled, and he finally picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup, he needed to borrow wine to be strong, no matter what, even if he turned the capital upside down, he had to find out that bastard!
