48. Undercurrent

Shen Yu touched the edge of the windowsill with her fingers, and the sound of rain brushing in her ears was in her ears, and she muttered for a long time: "Such a heavy rain, I don't know if it's cold in the prison." ”

Although this voice was mixed with the sound of rain, it couldn't escape Xu Yan's ears, he looked at Shen Yan's back, and couldn't help sighing-

I thought that teasing her could make her forget her sorrows for a while, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, her mind would run back again?

After all, she is a little girl who has not been stormy, she has no bottom in her heart, and it is common to worry about her father's situation, and it is useless to explain it.

Fortunately, at this time, the guards had already taken Shen Yan's clothes from the Linglong Mountain Pavilion and came back, and handed the pomegranate's carefully finished package to the mother-in-law outside. The mother-in-law replied, and Xu Yan asked her to take Shen Yu to the wing room to change her clothes.

Shi Nan had been waiting anxiously outside, and after accompanying Shen Yu into the wing, he hurriedly asked, "Girl, what did His Royal Highness King Duan say?" ”

"It's the same as Uncle Jiang said, tell us not to act rashly."

Although it was the same result, after listening to Xu Yan's detailed analysis, Shen Yan clarified the stakes, and she was more relieved than before.

The two of them changed their clothes and came out, and the rain outside was already much lighter.

The courtyard door of Yingzhai was open, and Lord Changshi led a Lang Zhong in, presumably to treat Xu Yan's injuries.

After Na Langzhong entered, the door of the room was closed again, and there was no movement for a long time, Shen Yu waited for a while, and remembered Mrs. Shen in her heart, afraid that she would make a mistake in a hurry, so she said to Changshi and left first.

When she returned home, Mrs. Shen had not yet returned, and Shen Yu didn't know where she had gone at this time, so she had to wait patiently in the Linglong Mountain Pavilion.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Mrs. Shen's carriage entered the mansion, and Shen Yu rushed over when she heard the news and happened to meet her outside the main courtyard.

Mrs. Shen's face was not less worried, and when the mother and daughter talked about today's events during dinner, Shen Yu knew that she was at the Zhu family before and went to the Jiang Mansion later. Although Jiang Wenying did not directly intervene in this matter, she still asked someone to spy on the movements, and then asked Zhu Yun's father to come forward and take care of Shen Ping.

For the whole day, He Wenyuan didn't have any movement there, but he seemed to have forgotten Shen Ping's "private collection and forbidden. "This matter is just a routine two-step procedure on the part of the government office, and it looks like it is going to be filed for trial, but it has not yet been decided.

Mrs. Shen frowned, "I said something to your uncle today, I see what he means, he won't interfere in this matter." Zhu Yun thought of saying something to your father, and your father told him not to interfere, it was mysterious, and it was really impossible for people to see through it. ”

- Shen Ping's case has not yet been tried, and the charges have not yet been settled, and today Jiang Wenying vaguely reminded Mrs. Shen a few words, Mrs. Shen is not as anxious as yesterday, but the sorrow between her eyebrows seems to be frozen, and she can't erase it.

Shen Yu was not surprised when she heard this.

Jiang Wenying's ability to sit in today's position is not only due to luck and the promotion of Jiang Ge Lao, but also his insight and judgment are also different from ordinary people.

In this matter, he may have the same thoughts as Xu Yan, but Xu Yan can explain the pros and cons to her in detail, and Jiang Wenying is not good at finding fault with outsiders.

At this time, Jiang Wenying is probably also anxious-

Someone wants to use Prince Zhaoming as an introduction and lead him in, just like digging a ravine in front of him, and the clouds are covered in fog, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe. This is no small matter.

The mother and daughter gradually calmed down, and this night they slept soundly and exhausted their exhaustion.

The moon in late autumn hangs high in the sky, cold and translucent, and in the second half of the night, there are dark clouds piled up, gradually obscuring the moonlight and stars.

The surrounding area of the Lingering Garden was silent, and under the dark night, three or four black shadows flew into the garden.

The lights in the shadow were always on, and someone stood inside, casting a long figure into the window.

"The situation of the Wulin Sect has been decided, Jingyuan has stabilized the overall situation, and firmly holds the position of the sect leader, please rest assured. After Elder Crane lost, he led people to Yeqin, and Black Eagle reacted quickly and had already followed. Gu An handed over the letter sealed with fire paint in his hand, "This is the list of forces in the current sect. Among the missing people, someone has already shown traces to the King of Linjiang, but we have limited manpower, so we don't dare to follow too closely. ”

"King Linjiang is only second, how about Qin Xiong?" Xu Yan regained his usual cold attitude.

Gu An said: "At the moment, no one has contacted Qin Xiong, so he must be hiding very deeply." However, according to Han Liu's news, Qin Wei had already turned west and secretly went to Taining. ”

"Oh?" Xu Yan was slightly surprised, "Didn't Qin Wei escort Mrs. Qin and her party to Beijing?" ”

"It was true when I went out of the city, but after leaving the Luling, Qin Wei secretly went to Taining, and those people were escorted by Qin Yu."

"It's really breathless." Xu Yan sneered, and then said: "Shen Ping was taken away by He Wenyuan yesterday, saying that he was secretly hidden. Book, I just got the news today. ”

"The Shen family?" Gu An was taken aback, and immediately said: "This matter is a dereliction of duty by his subordinates, please surrender your highness!" ”

"I can't blame you, everyone was transferred to Taining, and there will inevitably be omissions." Xu Yan saw that Gu An's face was gradually becoming a little pale, so he asked him to sit down first, and said, "But He Wenyuan's toss has helped us." ”

Although Gu An didn't understand what Xu Yan was referring to, he still sat there straight, waiting for orders.

Xu Yan thought for a while and said, "Go and check on the people He Wenyuan has been dealing with recently, if he has dealings with Qin Xiong, I will summon him to stay in the garden and report the progress of the solicitation." ”

Gu An responded, but he was still puzzled: "He Wenyuan should be the person of King Wei, although Qin Xiong is deeply hidden, he has always worked for the prince, how can the two of them collude?" Could it be that he was designed to coax He Wenyuan and wanted to borrow his hand to make trouble for King Wei? ”

"Qin Xiong may not be targeting King Wei this time." Xu Yan groaned.

With Qin Xiong's style, if he really wants to make a move, he must have planned for a long time, and if he makes a move, he will see blood, and he will not be as thunderous and rainy as he is now, and he will be in a stalemate. It is more likely that He Wenyuan wants to make a move, and Qin Xiong is adding fuel to the fire, if he provokes a fire between Jiang Ge Lao and King Wei, the prince will naturally be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

There was a bit of certainty in his tone, "According to my speculation, if King Wei directly attacks Jiang Ge Lao, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the imperial brother, so he will ask He Wenyuan to make a move, use Shen Ping as an introduction to lure Jiang Wenying to make a move, and then lead the fire to Jiang Ge Lao." ”

His fingers slowly clasped the tabletop, and Xu Yan's voice became more and more calm, "But Prince Zhaoming is a matter of great importance, King Wei is now beyond the reach of the whip in the capital, and He Wenyuan's ability is also limited, he dares to make a fuss about Prince Zhaoming so blatantly, I am afraid that there is someone behind him." In the Wuchuan realm, who else would be embarrassed by Jiang Wenying? However, this is strange and needs to be verified. ”

After this explanation, Gu An immediately figured it out, got up and said, "My subordinates will do it!" ”

Xu Yan instructed again: "Properly arrange the injured people, and the outer defense can be loosened in the past two days." Call Changshi in again. ”

Gu An took the order and left.

Although this intervention in the Wulin Sect caused many of Xu Yan's subordinates to return injured, the line of espionage was still not broken.

The ability of the people under his command to find out the news should not be underestimated, and it may take some effort to deal with old foxes such as Qin Xiong, but it is not too difficult to find out about He Wenyuan. This night was arranged, and in the early morning of the third day, all the results had been placed on Xu Yan's case.

The people in the shadow were silent, Xu Yan looked at the thin results on the desk, and his brows furrowed-

The results of the investigation were consistent with his speculation, He Wenyuan had indeed had a lot of dealings with Qin Xiong recently, and he also found the book through Qin Xiong's hand, and then instructed Wu Han from the academy to make a move and frame it to Shen Ping.

However, according to Xu Yan's speculation before, Qin Xiong should just push the boat down the river, do a favor and stir up the water between Jiang Ge Lao and King Wei even more, according to the return of the downline, Qin Xiong's search for this collection of poems by Prince Zhaoming was long before He Wenyuan conspired with him!

So this was not Qin Xiong's temporary idea, but a premeditated plan?
