Chapter 282: The Case of Tribute Silver
In the capital, Tang Feiyu made a fortune because of the "small" Furang guqin. It's just that she doesn't know that although Jin Wu has left her side, she can't be on call.
However, long before Jin Wu, Zhao Xianyu had already arranged a secret guard to monitor the movements of the entire Jiang Mansion.
Jin Wu is naturally clear about this matter.
Therefore, after Jin Wu left, he specially explained that the secret guard who was hidden in the shadows paid more attention to Tang Feiyu's movements.
Yes, Tang Feiyu made a lot of money with the Franco guqin, and secretly had the support and maintenance of Zhao Xianyu's people.
Otherwise, on the boundary of this capital, a Qiushui Pavilion that was not a big one, but it was able to do such a big business, which would have already attracted people's attention.
However, Tang Feiyu didn't know anything about this qiΔ for the time being.
Zhao Xianyu, who is far away from the capital, is not as comfortable as Tang Feiyu.
However, news of the movements in the capital has always reached him.
Although he was a little angry because Jin Wu was not able to obey his orders and left Tang Feiyu's side.
However, after receiving Tang Feiyu's news and knowing that she was fine, the anger in her heart dissipated a little, and she did not insist on letting Jin Wu go back to the capital.
The case of 200,000 taels of tribute silver is not too big, after all, it is only 200,000 taels of silver.
But the case of the 200,000 taels of tribute is quite tricky.
There is no other reason.
Since Emperor Shun succeeded to the throne, there have been dozens of similar tribute cases.
Since the assassination of Sunan City, Zhao Xianyu has encountered several groups of assassins one after another on his trip, and it is precisely because of this that he lost contact with the capital for a while, which made Jin Wu worried, so he rushed all the way from the capital to Sunan City.
Then he found Zhao Xianyu's whereabouts from the clues.
At that time, when Jin Wu found Zhao Xianyu, Zhao Xianyu was fending off another wave of assassins.
At that time, the Eagle Guard that Zhao Xianyu originally carried by his side had already lost more than half.
"Son, everyone in the world knows that the King of Qi has something to do with this tribute and silver case, and he can send several groups of assassins to chase and kill you, in this Suzhou realm, only the King of Qi can have such a skill!"
Jin Wu looked at the gauze bandaged on Zhao Xianyu's right arm, knowing that the prince had also hung up the color this time, he was very worried, faintly annoyed, and resentful that he didn't strongly ask to come out with the prince that day.
Zhao Xianyu pursed his lips and heard Jin Wu's words, but he didn't say a word.
Although he is only fifteen, he has not yet reached the age of the crown, although he has been asked by his father to be named the prince of Zhennan since he was born, although he can be regarded as a fine coat and jade food, but he has received a lot of training since he was a child.
Before the age of five, he lived with his father at the border pass, which was different from the prosperity of the capital, and under the starlight, there was a vast expanse of wind and gravel.
I lost my biological mother when I was a child, although I was taken care of by a nurse, but in the end I lacked love, but my father was used to being cold.
And now, time flies, the memories before the age of five, the memory of my father, has gradually faded, and I have even forgotten what my father looked like.
Since he was six years old, his father sent him back to the capital and remarried his step-concubine, and he was left in the capital.
Originally, the step-princess also had a period of affection and pity for him.
However, after his father knew that the princess treated him kindly, he threw him into the iron-blooded camp of the Zhao family, and after the age of twelve, he joined the royal eagle guard.
Before the current tribute case, he had also done a lot of things for Emperor Shun.
But when it comes to danger, it is far less than this time.
King Qi!
"Without evidence, every guess is in vain!"
Emperor Shun would never suspect King Qi because of their encounter with a killer.
After all, King Qi is not only the brother of Emperor Shun's mother, but also the only surviving and crowned king among all Emperor Shun's brothers.
Zhao Xianyu frowned, and there was a faint feeling of helplessness in his heart about this tribute case.
He traveled all the way, and he had not yet arrived at the place where the crime occurred for re-examination, but he had already encountered several groups of killers, and the killers sent were more and more ruthless each time.
Could it be that this tribute case is really so difficult to handle?
Is he going to be able to complete this assigned task?
"Lord Shizi, you have the emperor's golden dragon order in your hand, why don't we go directly to the Qi Palace!"
Jin Wu thought about it and felt that the Gongyin case was afraid that it would be difficult to find a breakthrough, and he was sure of his suspicion of the King of Qi, so he thought about smashing Huanglong directly, and went directly to the palace of the King of Qi.
"Under what name are we going to the Qi Palace?"
Zhao Xianyu listened to Jin Wu's words, shook his head, his immature face was less of his usual grin, and at this moment, Yan SΓΉ's expression revealed a little irritability, "Although we have the Golden Dragon Order in hand, it is just a cheap act when investigating the case." And right now, we are clearly getting nothing, and even at a loss, what can we do if we enter the Qi Palace? β
If King Qi was really involved in this case, wouldn't they have thrown themselves into the net when they went to King Qi's mansion.
Since entering Sunan City, the more they advanced, the more killers chased and killed, and the intention was obviously not to let them track down the Gongyin case.
And the Qi Wangfu is in Huaiyin City, where the crime occurred.
*"Lord Shizi, what are we going to do next?" β
Jin Wu listened to Zhao Xianyu's words, he didn't have an idea for a while, he thought about it again, and then said: "Lord Shizi, the case of Gongyin has now been closed, so it's better to go back to Beijing!" β
Jin Wu knew that although the emperor ordered the prince to find out the truth of the tribute silver case, in order to appease the people, the case on the surface had been closed, and it was declared that the tribute silver sinking was just an accident.
And now that this case is full of difficulties, the safety of the prince here is not guaranteed, so it is better to return to the capital for the time being, and then think about it in the long run.
Moreover, although there had been more than a dozen similar cases before this, not all of them had occurred in King Qi's fiefdom.
If the case is really related to King Qi, you can also go back and read the file first to find suspicious points.
"What you say is an idea!"
Zhao Xianyu listened to Jin Wu's words, nodded, but thought of something else, "You ordered someone to pretend to be me, and spread the news that I was going back to Beijing, and half of the people went back to Beijing!" β
"The ...... of the Prince"
What does that mean?
Doesn't the prince really plan to return to Beijing?
Jin Wu listened to Zhao Xianyu's words, and already understood what Zhao Xianyu meant, and wanted to persuade a few more words, but was interrupted by Zhao Xianyu's unquestioning voice.
\t"Yes, my subordinates will do it!" β
Jin Wu said that he couldn't move Zhao Xianyu, so he had to bow and retreat, and finish the things that the prince had explained.
Looking at the back of Jin Wu leaving, Zhao Xianyu's brows that had been frowning never let go.
This time the tribute silver case, if he really found nothing and returned in vain, it would only disappoint Emperor Shun again.
However, this time King Qi's offensive is extremely strong, and although he has the identity of the prince of Zhennan, but at this moment, as the emperor's eagle guard, the identity of the prince cannot be revealed at all.
Moreover, since he joined the Eagle Guard, he is no longer just a gentleman who eats, drinks and has fun in the capital.
Since he is a loyal eagle guard, even if he fights to the death, he must complete the task assigned by the emperor.
Instead of having the slightest difficulty, he just thought about returning to the capital to protect himself.
Although the Eagle Guard is not as cruel as the Iron Blood Camp, it also has the rules of the Eagle Guard.
* "Shizi, it's been arranged! β
Jin Wu had already arranged according to Zhao Xianyu's instructions, and after returning to Zhao Xianyu's side, after thinking for a while, he asked: "Childe, if you can't go to Huaiyin City, why don't we go to Jiangyin City!" β
There are people from the Zhao family's iron-blooded camp in Jiangyin City, and when they get there, the safety of the prince can be guaranteed.
"Jiangyin City ......"
When Zhao Xianyu heard Jin Wu's words, he couldn't help but think of something, and his original frowning brows stretched slightly, "Order someone to collect all the files related to the theft of tribute silver, and we will go to Huainan City early tomorrow morning!" β
"Shizi, my subordinates don't understand!"
Zhao Xianyu's first half of the sentence, Jin Wu understood, and what Zhao Xianyu said in his mouth was "life"
, that person is not the Eagle Guard who is following them now, but the old man in the iron-blooded camp scattered by the Zhao family.
However, Jiangyin City is the base camp of the iron-blooded camp in Suzhou, and it is safer for the prince to go to Jiangyin City, so why do you want to go the opposite way and go to Huainan City?
"The Zhao family's iron-blooded camp was disbanded ten years ago!"
Zhao Xianyu listened to Jin Wu's words and replied lightly.
Just one sentence made Jin Wu's face change greatly, "Subordinate, subordinate confessed!" β
With that, Jin Wu suddenly knelt on the ground.
Just now, the prince ordered him to find someone to pretend to be him to go to the capital, and ordered him to send half of the people back, so he let the people from the three eagle guards go back, leaving only Mu San and himself to stay by the side of the prince.
He originally thought that Mu San was his own person, and the prince took him and Mu San to Jiangyin City without exposing the secrets of the Iron Blood Camp.
And now, hearing Shi Ziye say so bluntly that the Zhao family's iron-blooded camp had been disbanded ten years ago, Jin Wu immediately understood that he had made a big mistake.
Although the people of the Eagle Guard were sent away by him, and although he and Mu San were also named in the Eagle Guard, it was difficult to guarantee that the emperor would not know the next trace of the prince from him.
Although the prince joined the Eagle Guard, if the Zhao family's iron-blooded camp was still secretly active by the emperor to know, he was afraid that he would ...... According to the emperor's suspicion, I am afraid that the prince and the prince will lose the emperor's trust.
If this is the case, the Zhao family will be in trouble.
"Fortunately, because of her, your daily contact with me has not been avoided!"
Zhao Xianyu didn't let Jin Wu get up immediately, but said lightly: "Otherwise, your appearance would have already attracted the attention of the other eagle guards." β
Zhao Xianyu knew Jin Wu, and from the time he said that half of the people would return to Beijing, he had already guessed what Jin Wu might do.
It's just that he didn't say anything more, and he didn't explicitly mention Jin Wu.
Next, he was going to Huainan City.
Huainan City and Huaiyin City are just separated by a river, and I believe that even if the King of Qi strictly defends Huaiyin City, he would never have imagined that he would sneak into Huainan City.
Sick!
A cold, the whole family is infected.
