Chapter 348 Trends of the Parties
"Still haven't found it yet? Haven't found you back for what to do? How much money do I give you on weekdays? Have you achieved the worries of the king? It's just a hairy kid, and you still don't have any clues? Do you dare to go back and forth? Ji Zongya was furious, and roared without the slightest majesty.
Bai Xian on the side shrunk his neck, trying to shrink himself into the shadows and not be so conspicuous, and he looked at the leader of the brocade guard kneeling below with some sympathy.
The commander has a messy beard, and his lowered eyes are blazing with self-reproach, if Ji Zongyu or General Jiang is there, then he will recognize it at a glance, this commander is Cao Rui, the secretary of the military department!
This is something that no one knows!
It is precisely because of this that Lin Yuan and the others were able to hide in the village not far from the place of the incident for so long without being discovered!
And although Cao Rui, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, because of Ji Zongya's suspicion and selfishness, he only has the command of the capital defense and no military talisman, it is precisely because of this that General Jiang and even Ji Zongyu have always thought that Cao Rui has a lot of resentment against the emperor, coupled with the grace of General Jiang to Cao Rui's life-saving experience, Cao Rui will agree to help Ji Zongyu.
But if they knew Cao Rui's other identity, they would definitely not look for Cao Rui's help.
Cao Rui, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, can be said to be the emperor's confidant, and his power is not comparable to some nominal military powers.
But Cao Rui still agreed to General Jiang's request, and even promised to gather Ji Zongyu in Beijing to take the lead in raising troops!
Why is that?
The answer is obvious, Cao Rui must have another plan. Or there is a real master behind it, or Cao Rui himself has a **!
In the Imperial Palace, Cao Rui was unmoved by the reprimand, and only after Ji Zongya was slightly relieved, he raised his face and replied.
"Your Majesty, the minister has set off on the day of the happy boat to the time when Prince Yu disappeared, and the place where the happy boat passed through was searched on the shore, but only found a village that was destroyed by fire, and the minister suspected that the village was the hiding place of Prince Yu that day."
Ji Zongya sneered, "Where was I hiding that day? What's the use of me knowing?! What I want is his whereabouts. A hiding place now! Look for. Intensify your efforts to find! That kid must still be in the place where he disappeared that day, and I sent you to search so vigorously that I don't believe that kid can fly under the noses of so many people with only two guards! Besides, he also brought a burden! ”
Cao Rui replied in a deep voice, "Go back to the emperor." It is precisely because the number of people in Prince Yu's entourage is too small. The goal is too small. Jinyiwei has not found his whereabouts so far, but Jinyiwei is already understaffed, and on the one hand, he has to find the whereabouts of Concubine Jiang. On the one hand, it is necessary to monitor the Jiang family in Mobei and the Lin family in Jinling, and if more manpower is increased to search for Prince Yu, then Mobei and Jinling ......"
"Hmph." Ji Zongya snorted coldly, "Then withdraw the manpower from Mobei and Jinling, as long as that kid is found, there is nothing they can do!" When I'm done cleaning up that kid, I'll find them to settle the score! ”
"Yes, the minister will do it." Cao Rui immediately responded, got up and retreated.
As soon as he stepped out of the Imperial Palace, Cao Rui's originally blazing eyes became dim.
Damn merchant girl, dare to hold his gang child hostage! It hurt his plan to fail!
But after the anger, he looked depressed, and since receiving the news, he has secretly sent his men to find Cao Yigang's whereabouts, but he has never been found.
Where the hell did the merchant girl hide her son?!
……
In the past few days, Concubine Jiang has been fasting and reciting Buddha every day, praying for things to go well.
And the news from the capital is obviously good news, but she is always uneasy in her heart.
Things went so well! It was so smooth that she had to wonder that Ji Zongyu, who should have been transferred to Beijing immediately, was stranded because of his injuries, but why was Ji Zongyu able to hide in that village for so long without being discovered?
Even though Guan Yan's letter said that most of the pursuers had been killed on the spot, leaving only one alive as a witness, so the village was not exposed, she still did not believe that the sharpest eagle claw brocade guard in Ji Zongya's hand had not found that village so far.
She had such suspicions, and she could also see that General Jiang and his wife also had them, but no one said anything.
They couldn't guess what was wrong with it, and saying it only added to their annoyance.
Concubine Jiang was chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth, and the Buddhist beads in her hands were turning rapidly, but her heart was still calm.
"Niangniang, there is another letter from Jingzhong." Jiang Xingping suddenly appeared at the door of the Buddhist hall and said to Concubine Jiang in a deep voice.
Concubine Jiang's eyelids jumped, and she turned her head with an expressionless face.
Jiang Xingping sighed and handed the letter forward, "It's better for you to see for yourself." ”
Concubine Jiang couldn't hold her breath anymore, stepped forward and grabbed the letter, and looked at it at a glance.
"Yu'er is injured and is still unconscious?" She cried out, "How so? How so?! ”
"This letter was written by Yuan Yatou, and there will be no fake." Jiang Xingping sighed, "It's estimated that the letter from Gang Er just now...... It's me who looked away. ”
Concubine Jiang dedicated everything in her life to her son, where can she take care of anything else, got up and grabbed Jiang Xingping's hand anxiously.
"What about the messenger? Where are the people? Yu'er, how is he now? ”
Jiang Xingping frowned, looked at Concubine Jiang who was in chaos in front of him, and said sharply, "The person has left, the one who sent the letter is Zhiwen, the more he delays here, the more danger he will be discovered, this general's mansion is surrounded by Jinyiwei's minions, don't you know?" ”
"Gone? But how is my Yu'er? Concubine Jiang muttered to herself as if she had lost her soul.
Jiang Xingping looked sad, the niece of the imperial concubine in front of him entered the palace for the honor and disgrace of the Jiang family, and spent a lifetime of youth, and even had a son who could not kiss.
He slowed down his tone and said, "You read the letter carefully, Yu'er is now in Beijing." Yuan girl is a thoughtful person, and she captured Cao Yigang and hid it, forcing Cao Rui to use it for us according to the original plan, so Yu'er will not be in danger at present. ”
Jiang Xingping's words were true, but Concubine Jiang was in tears, "But Yu'er, he hasn't woken up yet!" ”
Jiang Xingping is also worried about this, if Ji Zongyu never wakes up, all their actions are just in vain.
This is the key, Yuan Yatou said in the letter that Yu'er is fine, and the doctor has not been able to find out what is going on. Yuan girl asked us to send troops early, we are going to set off tonight, otherwise Cao Rui will not be able to help sincerely in the midst of coercion, and when the time comes, an illegitimate child may not be able to make Cao Rui too jealous. Jiang Xingping groaned, but in the end, he is old, and the original courage in his body has already dissipated a lot, he sighed, "It is up to people to make things happen, whether Yu'er can wake up in time depends on the will of heaven."
