Chapter 586: Target
When they got the ransom letter, the reactions of each family were different, and Guo Wenying didn't need to call someone to investigate, and he could probably guess what they thought. It's just that her body is really poor, and she doesn't have the energy to play too much with them, so she can only wait and see what happens.
She was sitting in the room drinking stewed snow clams with Sydney white fungus, when Lu Yiyu and Lu Weixin walked in together.
It was rare for Lu Weixin to see her pay so much attention to maintenance, but he smiled knowingly, "I've seen you for so long, and I've only looked like a woman for a few days." ”
Guo Wenying smiled, "I'm used to doing things that aren't women, it doesn't matter if I don't look like a woman, but what's the matter with the two of you?"
Lu Yiyu said: "I also met Lord Lu at the door, and I went back and forth to tell Lord Lu about the last time I asked my lord to investigate." He said and took out two portraits from his arms, which were painted to him by Jiang Bin last time.
Guo Wenying was overjoyed, "But who are they?"
Lu Yiyu nodded, "The person in his sixties in the painting has been verified, and this person is Zhang Jingshan, the head of the Zhang family." However, this Zhang Jingshan is at the helm on the surface, and some things are still at the hands of the third uncle of the Zhang family, and his subordinates let the Zhang family and their men and women conduct a detailed investigation, this is the list of clansmen on the family tree. ”
He handed over a piece of paper, Guo Wenying unfolded it and looked at it, the list on it was clear, there were 770 people in the Zhang family, six brothers of the older generation, Zhang Jingshan was the eldest and the nominal chief, and the rest of the brothers lived in five courtyards and were in charge of one thing. And the main ones who meddle in the salt affairs are the third and fourth children.
There are 17 people in the younger generation, including three in the long room, three people in the second room, four people in the third room, three people in the fourth room, two people in the fifth room, and two people in the sixth room. And Zhang Lingrong, whom Guo Wenying met last time, is the person of Changfang, and the only son-in-law of Changfang, who is the successor to the Zhang family, the most likely family member of the next generation.
Guo Wenying looked at it for a while, and only remembered a rough idea, which did not introduce much to the female dependents, but she guessed that the second Mrs. Zhang she met in Mrs. Li's garden last time may be the wife of the Zhang family's house, that is, Zhang Lingrong's mother, as for the first Mrs. Zhang, it may be the wife of the other party.
She asked Yunmo, the two Mrs. Zhang were arrested, and it was the most difficult to arrest them. This is also because those people were brought out by Guo Wenying, and after several big battles, they were replaced by real bandits, but it was not so easy to catch people.
At this time, she thought about this Mrs. Zhang for a while, and I don't know what her expression would be when she saw her, and did she regret framing her in the garden?
After Lu Yiyu introduced the Zhang family, he took out a second picture, "This person is incomprehensible, this person is masked, obviously he doesn't want people to see who he is, and the more he does this, the more it means that he is weak-hearted, which means that his identity must not be exposed." And this person's identity will never be lower than the Zhang family, otherwise Zhang Jingshan would not have risked meeting in person. Do you know that in this southeastern land, who can't reveal your identity and happens to be involved in the salt case?"
Guo Wenying sneered, "I don't think it's necessarily the southeast." ”
"What do you mean .......?"
Guo Wenying didn't answer his words, but said, "Master Lu, do you know that I saw an important person in the garden that day?"
"Who is it?"
"Lord Yuanyue. ”
Lu Yiyu said "ah", "Your Excellency is suspecting that King Dong Jing is also involved in this matter?"
Guo Wenying stretched out her hand and knocked on the table a few times, her expression was worried, she was not suspicious, but very suspicious. It's just that as a prince, with a fief and a fief, why would she take a risk to do such a thing? She didn't know, and she didn't want to know, but since she had done it, don't let her grab the handle, otherwise she wouldn't be Feng Jingting, and she wouldn't recognize this as an imperial uncle.
Guo Wenying said: "You go and check again, they must be planning something in the near future, take Jiang Bin with them, and let him do everything possible to catch the female assassin, if he can't catch it, he won't need to come back." Tell him it's a death order. ”
She knew that Jiang Bin, if he didn't put some pressure on him, his lazy bones would attack, just like the last time he dealt with the Shadowless Gate, if he didn't put pressure on him, he wouldn't break his leg and go to the beggar to help. This time, no matter which friends he is looking for, she must have a living.
Lu Yiyu went on an errand, Jiang Bin scratched his ears and cheeks when he heard the order, and scolded Guo Wenying behind his back, needless to say.
Lu Weixin sat on the side and drank tea, and waited until she was done before she spoke: "You are really busy." ”
Guo Wenying said: "What are you looking for me?"
Lu Weixin said: "Yesterday, my father sent a letter, asking me when I would return to Beijing, it seems that the emperor has also written a letter, why?
Guo Wenying naturally knew that the emperor had sent her a letter, and the emperor urged her to return to Beijing as soon as possible, saying that the southeast was dangerous, and asked her to sort out everything and return to Beijing immediately, and then send the governor to come over to guard.
She knew that although she knew, she couldn't make a decision for a while, so it was easy to lay out all the chess pieces, and if she couldn't see the result, she really didn't feel at ease to leave. But the child, she always has to think about the child.
sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice: "If you want to go back to Beijing, go back first, your Lu family is the only son of you, and you can't commit this dangerous place." ”
Lu Weixin said angrily: "What are you talking about? If you don't leave, how can it be possible for me to leave you here alone? You are not afraid of death, will I be afraid of death? I am not for you, you are a woman after all, and the matter has been done so far." The two wharves are also under construction in an orderly manner, and your mission in the southeast has been completed, so if you don't return to Beijing, you have to deal with those frantic salt merchants?"
Guo Wenying looked at him, how can it be so simple as a salt merchant here, most of the officials in the southeast are trapped in it, led by the Zhang family, who controls most of the world, and if the Zhang family is not removed, the world will be uneasy.
She also wanted to return to Beijing a long time ago, but no matter who the emperor sent to take charge of the southeast in the future, she would not have her courage, and it was not her temper to give up halfway through the matter. Whether she goes or not, in fact, she is tormented every day.
She sighed: "Yuiko, you may not believe what I said, I can't get out of it now." "I don't know how many people in this Fuzhou city want her life, even if she is willing to stop now, those people are also thinking about how to clean her up, if not in addition to these disasters, she will not be able to live in peace in the future.
"I'm in the Governor's Mansion now, as long as I don't leave this mansion, there will be no danger, in fact, what I just said is also angry, I don't want you to go, if you leave, I can't hold the scene in the southeast. ”
