Chapter 427: The Covenant of Wangjiang Tower
(First update!) οΌ
Wangjiang Tower, as the name suggests, is on the side of the Dingjiang River, in the south of Jingzhao, is a quiet and not remote place.
Wangjiang Tower is different from the Chunhui Building that Jingzhao scholars like to go to, and the drunken building that Jingzhao merchants like to go to, it entertains the nobles and top ministers of Dading, and the price is so expensive that needless to say, ordinary people can't come to this place.
Such a place, with its vast area and private facilities, fully meets the requirements of the Kwon Hoon, making it easy for them to talk about various things.
Wangjiang Tower is so special, the owner behind it is naturally not small. Some people with doors know that Wangjiang Tower is the Cheng family's industry.
The Cheng family is the maiden family of the lady concubine, and the mother family of the crown prince and the Seventh Highness, and this identity alone can fully explain everything.
There are also rumors that Wangjiang Tower is actually owned by the prince. The Cheng family is just a senior shopkeeper who helps the prince manage Wangjiang Tower; It is also rumored that Wangjiang Tower was actually built by Emperor Chongde, the purpose is to know the secret of Jingzhao Quanxun, Yunyun.
Regardless of the rumors, it is absolutely certain that Wangjianglou and the prince are connected.
This relationship is so obvious, Shen Su and Shen Du's guess is very correct. At this moment in the East Palace, Zhu Xuanming listened to Xie Deng's report, and his face showed a rare murderous aura.
"The dead man of the Chengguo Mansion is already waiting in Wangjiang Tower, just waiting for Shen Du to enter. Your Royal Highness, the minister is still worried, will the impact of this matter be too great, and will it spread to the emperor? Xie Deng said, his face worried.
Pei Rong and Shen Du were both court officials, especially Shen Du. He is a close minister of the Son of Heaven and an important official in the court. Setting up such a killing game in Wangjiang Tower, Xie Deng felt that it was too risky no matter how he thought about it.
After trying his best to stop it to no avail, he invited Master Jiang of Zong Zhengqing, and even Lord Jiang could not persuade His Highness to change his mind.
Xie Deng didn't understand, His Royal Highness had obviously planned to trap Shen Du in the East Palace and act slowly, why did he suddenly change his mind and order Cheng Guogong to set up this killing situation in Wangjiang Tower?
Xie Deng has been following Zhu Xuanming for a few years, but he doesn't understand what his master is thinking at the moment. Ambush and kill the court officials. If you let the emperor know. How does this affect the East Palace?
Zhu Xuanming stroked the jade pendant in his hand and replied lightly: "What if it reaches my father?" Who knows if it's the dead man of the Chengguo Mansion? Who knew that this matter was related to the East Palace? β
Zhu Xuanming said, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, obviously smiling. But it makes people feel a little creepy. Xie Deng couldn't help but shudder.
"Tonight's Wangjiang Tower. It must be very lively, but it's a pity that I can't see it in this palace. Zhu Xuanming clenched the jade pendant in his hand and continued.
Originally. He still wanted to keep Shen Du's life and slowly torture him when he was in prison, but after learning that Gu Zhan had gone to Zichen Palace, he changed his mind.
The Gu family is the in-law of the Shen family, and Gu Zhan, as the secretary of the ministry, will definitely take care of Shen Du. Even if Shen Du was in the East Palace, Gu Zhan would quickly transfer him out. Judging from his past experience of fighting with Shen Du, Zhu Xuanming felt that placing Shen Du in the East Palace would definitely get in the way, but it would not be of much benefit.
This is one of his considerations, and the reason why he really set this time to kill is still Qin Yi's words.
Qin Yi mentioned Shen Su in front of Zhu Xuanming, and pointed out that the reason why Shen Du was deeply immersed in the emperor's grace was because of the emperor's master Shen Su.
If you want to deal with Shen Du, you must first deal with Shen Su. Otherwise, even if Shen Du entered the East Palace, it would only increase his qualifications.
At that time, Qin Yi put forward a proposal to deal with Shen Su. This suggestion is based on Qin Yi's familiarity with the royal family and the behavior of the Shen family over the years, and it is a suggestion that he thinks is enough to divide the friendship between monarchs and ministers and deal with Shen Su.
For this reason, Qin Yi provided the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion and asked Zhu Xuanming to order the Cheng family to give up Wangjiang Tower. ββThe entire Wangjiang Tower is a big hidden weapon, and the secret facilities in it can greatly increase the success of the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion, and can allow Shen Du to walk in and out sideways.
Of course, there is another point, even if the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion can't deal with the people of the Shen family, in Wangjiang Tower, it can be convenient for the Chengguo Mansion and the Cheng family to act, so that the emperor can hear about it for the first time.
After considering the comings and goings, Zhu Xuanming agreed to Qin Yi's request for a hundred years, and ordered the people of the Cheng family to give up Wangjiang Tower, laying down this dead end.
Now, Zhu Xuanming is in the East Palace, looking forward to the arrival of Zishi.
Let's say that in the Chengguo Mansion, Qin Yi was gathering a group of dead soldiers and gave them an order, saying that they only need to succeed and not fail, and then wave their hands to let these dead soldiers set off to Wangjiang Tower.
After the dead man left, Qin Yi's brows furrowed and he let out a long sigh.
Since Liu Ji was killed outside the gate of Jingzhao City, even if he added another dead soldier to his side, he always felt that it was not as good as Liu Ji. This time Wangjianglou's killing, can they succeed? In fact, even Qin Yi himself couldn't be sure.
However, even if he is not sure, Qin Yi must kill Shen Du in Wangjiang Tower, and he must kill Shen Du before going to Jiangnan!
Because, he was horrified to find that the Shen family seemed to be the enemy of the Chengguo Mansion that had been hiding in the shadows!
The reason why he had this speculation was because of Xie Dao's Xie Dao in the Xie Family Hall. Xie Dao found a clue related to the Shen family, that is, Ye Ran, the owner of the Drunken Red Mansion, and Shen Du are friends of life and death!
This clue made Qin Yi's eyes red with anger.
At the beginning, Ye Ran took the girl from the drunken Red Mansion to sue in Jingzhao Mansion, which caused the Nanfeng Hall of the Chengguo Mansion to be destroyed, making the Chengguo Mansion seem to have lost a hand, and since then, the Chengguo Mansion has been closed to a lot. The root of all this lies in the Ye Dye of the Drunken Red Mansion!
Ye Ran is alone and has nothing to do, and he is not in the court, why should he deal with the Chengguo Mansion? Most likely, it was Shen Du, who was good friends with him, who wanted to deal with the Chengguo Mansion!
Thinking that his son's death was also related to the Shen family, Qin Yi's mind was like connecting many lines, and many things that were confused in the past could be explained as long as the Shen family was added.
The emperor's tour of the south of the Yangtze River was proposed by Du Pre. Du Pre, don't go in and out of the Shen family too many times over the years! From this, you can guess who really wants the emperor to visit the south of the Yangtze River?
What is there in Jiangnan that is worthy of the Shen family's targeting of the Chengguo Mansion? There is only one Jiangnan Silver Vault!
Therefore, Qin Yi must kill Shen Du and die before the emperor patrols Jiangnan!
Wangjiang Tower is the best bait. Even if Shen Du doesn't die, the Shen family must not be able to escape!
