Chapter 65: Under One Man
Shenke Lake, Green Mountain.
The night is deep, dotted with stars, and the mountains are vast.
Shen Lian climbed quickly, and the pavilion range was not far away.
Well?
This time, there were no men in black on patrol.
I saw Xu Xiao standing alone outside the pavilion.
And in the pavilion, there is another person.
Shen Lian's footsteps approached, and Xu Xiao had already stepped forward.
"If Duke Wei wants to see you, you can say whatever you know, and you don't need to hide it. Xu Xiao whispered.
"Duke Wei?"
Shen Lian was stunned.
But then I felt my scalp tingle.
Could it be the legendary 'under one person' Gonggong Wei?
"Is it Gonggong Wei?" asked Shen Lian in a quick whisper.
Xu Xiao nodded and patted Shen Lian on the shoulder to show relaxation.
Shen Lian secretly calmed down and walked towards the pavilion.
At the moment in the pavilion.
A middle-aged man with a white face, red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, and an elegant and easy-going temperament sat at the stone table.
This person was dressed in a plain robe, his body was neat, and he looked like an ordinary teacher.
But in the whole world, who doesn't know the name of Wei Yu?
It is rumored that Wei Yu is a young prodigy, and then he has been tested all the way to the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test step by step high school, and the champion and the first. He was appointed by the emperor to be a scholar of Wenhua University and accompanied the monarch to study.
Twenty years ago, Wei Yu accompanied Emperor Xi to Beijiao to inspect Beiguan. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated, and when the Northern Hun barbarians raised millions of troops to knock on the pass and attacked, the situation was critical.
Wei Yu, who was only a weak scholar at that time, turned the tide and single-handedly carried Emperor Xi out of the encirclement. Later, the reinforcements were saved, and Wei Yu was completely destroyed by his blood in the abdomen and was about to die.
Emperor Xi spared no cost, and finally saved Wei Yu again. But although Wei Yu was disabled, he was not demoralized, but resigned and entered the palace and became a eunuch in the imperial study.
If it ends like this, it can't be called a legend.
After Wei Yu became the father-in-law of Wei, he actually abandoned literature and martial arts, and cultivated the way of Jinyi and Wei Wufu. In ten years, I have been promoted from the ninth grade, step by step, until I climbed to the top of the fourth grade!
The Qianxi Dynasty can be called a famous four-grade realm, and there are only a handful. Wei Yu is all-round in civil and military affairs, and he is all top-notch. He also holds several important positions such as the head of the internal affairs, a university scholar, and an assistant minister to the military aircraft of the cabinet.
Because of this legend, and the power leans towards the government and the opposition, and is deeply trusted by Emperor Xi, the folk secretly jokingly call it 'under one person'.
was about to face this legendary big man, Shen Lian's heart was full of emotion, walked into the pavilion, and bowed:
"See Duke Wei!"
"No need to be polite, just sit down. ”
Wei Yu's voice was pure, elegant and easy-going, and he looked at Shen Lian with a light smile.
Shen Lian returned the salute respectfully and sat down at the stone table.
"This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes, a great master of the Four Grades Realm...... Liu Suifeng doesn't count, after all, he's just a clone...... I don't know if it's the same level as Gonggong Wei......"
"Why did he want to see me? Does Jinyi Wei's case have anything to do with him? Could it be that Xu Xiao found something that caused Gonggong Wei to get involved?"
Shen Lian muttered in his heart, keeping calm.
Wei Yu's hand is a chessboard, and next to the chessboard is a teapot and teacup. I think I was waiting for Shen Lian, while playing chess by myself, I was drinking tea.
"Do you know how to play chess?" Wei Yu asked with a faint smile.
"Qi Wei Gong, he is a rough man and doesn't know how to play chess. Shen Lian hurriedly said.
With his skills in this stinky chess basket, you don't have to think about it.
Wei Yu didn't care, and said gently:
"You don't have to be inhibited, you don't have to be humble. I'm just an internal eunuch, and I can't control your spy. Just call me and you, and no one will know that I am here. You should also be talking to a teacher. ”
Shen Lian hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you Gong Wei. ”
"Then let's get straight to the point, I'm here to ask you something. Ask and go, you can say what you know, I'll just listen, nothing surprising. ”
Wei Yu continued his elegant and easy-going demeanor, picked up a chess piece, put it on the chessboard, and said:
"Your first contact with the tribute case, the recovery of the stolen tribute case is closed. ”
He picked up the second chess piece and put it on, "The second time you came into contact with the tribute case, you found out that Du E was suspicious at a glance, and then hit it with one blow, and recovered the stolen tribute again to close the case." ”
Wei Yu put down the third and fourth, and successively said the case of the arrest of Lin Pingzhi, Qiu Xiaoji, and Yun Shishi, and then the case of the governor who entrapped Yue Jie.
"Cao Song and Xu Xiao all praise you for being brave and resourceful, bold and careful. No matter what the case, it will be hit with one blow, and there will be no leak!"
Wei Yu looked at Shen Lian with a smile, "I'm a little curious, I want to ask how you did it?"
This is not the first time Shen Lian has heard such an inquiry, he has already had a draft, and replied:
"Gong Wei, these cases have been solved, in fact, some are lucky, and there should be nothing wrong and no mistakes. ”
"In the first tribute case, the suspect Fei Yuqing was a thief and a talented person, and he confessed the whereabouts of the tribute without any hindrance, and later this person became my subordinate. ”
"In the second tribute case, Du E had a ghost in her heart, and I caught colluding with foreign thieves. I seized the opportunity to catch her accomplice, and the case was solved. ”
"As for Master Yun's arrest, it was with the help of the intelligence of Lord Cao and Lord Xu, coupled with the action of the Aquarius Temple, I was lucky to get it, and the process was not difficult. ”
"In the end, in the case of Governor Yuejie, in fact, I just bet on her suspicions. Lord Xu also analyzed afterwards, if she didn't feel ashamed and didn't dare to look in the mirror, I couldn't do anything about her. ”
Shen Lian arched his hand and said modestly, "All of the above is really lucky. Those criminals were not right, and then I took advantage of them. ”
Wei Yu smiled slightly:
"You're not greedy for merit. If others have these merits, they can already be called geniuses. ”
"Yes, I would like to call you the first of all the spies I have seen!"
Speaking of this, Wei Yu's words changed:
"How did you find out that Hong Botong summoned the corpse sparrow? How did you find out that the owner behind the corpse finch was the Southern Xinjiang Wupin Gu Xiu? and how did you track down the Nanzhao envoys?"
This series of questions made Shen Lian feel a sigh in his heart.
"Grandpa Wei is not something that can be fooled, there are many mistakes to say!"
"Then I can only carry the black cauldron on the Aquarius Temple, anyway, I don't care about one or two more ......"
Shen Lian immediately replied sincerely:
"Gong Wei, it was the abbot of the Aquarius Temple who helped me so smoothly. ”
Wei Yu smiled without surprise, probably having heard Xu Xiao's statement a long time ago.
He looked at Shen Lian and asked in a tone as if he was joking:
"Do you have any help from elsewhere besides the Aquarius Temple?"
Shen Lian's heart clicked again.
What does that mean?
But at this time, I can't think about it too much, so I just shake my head:
"There is no other help, I have some relationship with the Aquarius Temple, so the Aquarius Temple is helping. ”
Wei Yu didn't ask any more questions, lightly tapped his finger on the chessboard, and then got up in a dashing manner, standing by the pavilion railing with his hands in his hands, looking at the night sky from afar.
After groaning, Wei Yu asked again:
"Have you ever wondered why Yeji, the adopted daughter of the prince of Fuwang Palace, killed you for no reason?"
Shen Lian's heart clicked again.
What does this mean?
You're jumping too far, aren't you?
Shen Lian still didn't think much about it, and said simply:
"That time in Xicheng Dehong Building, when Yeji came to kill someone, she said that she was just looking for a nasty person to kill, and I didn't think about what the truth was. ”
Wei Yu just said lightly:
"Not once, but twice. Someone is tempting you, but you don't know it. ”
Of course, Shen Lian knew it twice, but he was inexplicable in his heart.
"Temptation, temptation of me?"
After Wei Yu finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Shen Lian with a light smile:
"Well, let's not talk about that. The past is gone, and it will never be again. Let's get down to business, let's talk about the Maiko and the Legacy. ”
Shen Lian felt a pang of anger in his heart, and kept listening calmly.
"After I got the news, I personally received the Nanzhao envoys who entered Beijing as a palace envoy. Also, I saw the maiko in advance, about ninety people. ”
"I even brought in some ministers, put on a show, and watched the dances of the Maiko in advance at the birthday celebration. ”
"I have to say that these southern Xinjiang women are indeed exotic. The choreography is also unique and refreshing. ”
Although Wei Yu said this, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he said lightly:
"The conclusion of my observations, like you, is that these maiko are extremely suspicious!"
Shen Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To get to the point, there is finally a good result.
"I checked their dance, which is an ancient sacrificial dance from southern Xinjiang. I have also checked the so-called 'scattered borer', which is also an ancient Gu poison from the 'ancient coffin tomb' in southern Xinjiang. ”
When Wei Yu said this, the conversation changed again:
"But whether it's an ancient dance or an ancient poison, there's no connection between the two. There are still seven days left before the Queen Mother's birthday, and now it is still unknown where the poison is. ”
"Even if the ancient dance is performed on the birthday, what role can it play under the attention of Wanmu? If it were you, for example, if you were planning it, what would you do?"
Shen Lian turned his mind and asked:
"Duke Wei, where is the tribute?
