The death of the eldest prince caused turmoil in the entire imperial city.

The Supreme Commander of the Forbidden Army, Si Du, commanded the envoy to personally go out and mobilize 10,000 horse infantry troops to search the imperial city in a carpet manner.

Subsequently, the Jinyi Army also dispatched countless people to control and investigate the streets and alleys of the capital.

Because Yixiaolou and Qiupinju, the two confirmed anti-thief dens, have long been emptied, and only some insignificant characters have been arrested......

Jia Baoyu stood on the wall of the imperial city, looking at the turbulent capital, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

This is a time of great unfairness.

This vast capital with a population of more than a million people is also unfair.

Many people die when they die, and it doesn't affect anyone's life.

However, some people, even if they die, will make countless people live uneasy, and even bury him. Even if that person is just a good-for-nothing straw bag, as long as his status is noble enough, he can be above ten thousand.

Just like the Great Prince.

It has been a few years since he came to this world, and Jia Baoyu has long understood this social form.

He didn't have any resentment, because this was the most primitive motivation for him to strive to be a human being!

He didn't want such a person to be above him, and even if there were, he wanted as few as possible, no less, preferably, not a single one......

In this way, perhaps, he is not a good person.

Retracting his gaze from afar, Jia Baoyu didn't care much about how many people would be affected by this earthquake and how many people would die because of it.

As long as it doesn't involve the people he cares about, he doesn't want to care.

As for the woman......

Jia Baoyu remembered her assassination in the Great Prince's Mansion before, and she was a little self-deprecating. A woman like her would be injured that day to save him, and what is even more ridiculous is that he was really nervous that night, even if he realized that her identity might not be simple, he even thought about treating her well......

In retrospect, it was a bit silly.

But why did she do that night, purely on purpose to make him owe her a favor?

Or will she be unpredictable, even if there will be today, she will have a chance to let her go?

This kind of thinking is ridiculous. From her indomitable attitude when she assassinated Emperor Jingtai before, it is obvious that all the people who participated in the assassination came with a certain death mentality.

Perhaps, she was trying to use him for something, for example, to use his authority to facilitate their assassination. However, he never received any such prompts. Even after that night, I didn't see her again, and I didn't receive any messages.

Thinking about these casually, Jia Baoyu couldn't figure out all the connections.

I hope she can escape, and in the future, maybe there will be a chance to ask her face to face, no, it is to be arrested and asked, and it is better to tie it up...... Stinky girls, they dare to act in front of their sons, and they act so similarly......

"My lord, this is the list sent by the commander, so that the lord will arrest all of them and put them in the forbidden army's iron prison."

A rider quickly came to the order, Jia Baoyu took it, and asked casually, "Who are they?" ”

"Lord Hui, they are all people who have been in and out of the eldest prince's side, and Your Majesty has an order to arrest and interrogate them all."

The corner of Jia Baoyu's mouth smiled slightly, and sure enough, the pool gate caught fire, affecting the pond fish.

You don't need to look at him to know that if the people above don't have a special background, most of them will be in the iron prison and won't be able to get out.

After a casual glance, you have to let the people below lead the team to get it.

Suddenly catching a glimpse of a name, Jia Baoyu became a little interested, and smiled at Jiang Cun: "Let's go, let's also move." ”

……

Jia Baoyu felt that he must have been in conflict with the surname Wu.

Especially the eldest son of the Wu family.

"Fence it off."

In front of the gate of Wu's house, as soon as Jia Baoyu's brigade arrived, the neighbors were immediately panicked and closed the door.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the bronze lock door, and as soon as the door was opened, dozens of gold-armored forbidden soldiers had already rushed into this noble mansion.

Jia Baoyu entered the gate leisurely and looked at the luxurious mansion casually.

It is worthy of being the concubine's mother's family, I don't know how much money I have collected over the years, just take the year before last, the Jia family wanted to build a grand view garden, all of which were moved in their ancestral house, and finally took him Jia Baoyu to the Xue family to "be" 200,000 taels of silver before barely enough silver.

And what about the Wu family? I think the land at home is not big enough, I want to go out of the city to buy the land to build, it is said that the provincial courtyard of the people, than their big view garden is much.

However, the price paid by the Wu family for this is to sell many of the properties of their ancestors, alas, they thought that they were dying to save face, but now looking at the mansion of others, it is not shabby at all......

Just as Jia Baoyu was slowly looking at the Wu family's compound, Wu Tianyou hurriedly walked out of the hall with a group of people. His face was like frost, and his eyes were staring at Jia Baoyu, as if he was going to eat him.

"Jia Baoyu, what are you doing here? Who gave you the right to trespass on my Wu family? ”

Wu Tianyou asked coldly.

Compared with the tense Wu Tianyou, Jia Baoyu is much warmer.

He even arched his hand and said with a smile: "Don't blame Boss Wu, this official is also here by order, may I ask Boss Wu, where is the eldest son of the Wu family?" ”

Wu Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, and he stared at Jia Baoyu deadly, wanting to choose someone to devour.

The head of the Wu family shouted: "You are simply too deceitful, our eldest son has already been killed by you, a traitor, and you dare to come to the door and ask where our eldest son is?" ”

"Bold!!"

Louder than the voice, Zhanfei, Mingyan and others around Jia Baoyu are obviously not inferior.

Jia Baoyu raised his hand to stop their riot, and smiled without mind: "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear, the eldest son of the Wu family I said is the new one, well, it seems to be called Wu Yonglai, not Wu Fan." ”

If it was ordinary, even in the face of a forbidden army in a courtyard, Wu Tianyou would not be afraid of half a point. However, he obviously received some rumors, and knew that this time was not the time to mess with Jia Baoyu, so he said coldly: "What are you looking for him?" ”

"Your Majesty has a decree to arrest Wu Yong for interrogation. I also asked Lord Wu to hand over the people as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the dependents in the house, and the official could go back to hand over the errand. ”

Wu Tianyou was furious: "You want to arrest Wu Yong and come to my mansion to do something!" ”

Jia Baoyu was puzzled: "Wu Yong is the new eldest son of the Wu family, where can I go if I arrest someone from the Wu family?" ”

Wu Tianyou's beard was about to fall in anger.

The housekeeper of the Wu family immediately said: "Wu Yong is just the nephew of my lord, he is the eldest son of my lord, our two families have long been separated, you have to arrest people, go to their house, go out from the main gate, go to the west for eight hundred meters, turn an alley, Wu Yong ...... there"

Xu was frightened by Zhanfei and the others just now, and the tone of the housekeeper Wu was gentle.

Jia Baoyu raised his forehead and said: "I see, I didn't know that Wu Yong had always regarded himself as the eldest son of the Wu family outside, and the official thought that he had come here, which was rude, really rude."

Someone came, and he didn't let this butler lead the way, and went to get the person back. ”

Zhanfei and the others responded to the order, and stepped forward to say to the Wu family's housekeeper: "Please." ”

The corners of the Wu family's housekeeper's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to scold his mother, but in the end, he obediently led the way.

In the courtyard, Wu Tianyou looked at Jia Baoyu: "If General Jia has nothing else to do, please go out, this official has something to do at home today, so he will not stay as a guest." ”

Wu Tianyou didn't want to see Jia Baoyu for a moment.

Jia Baoyu seemed to like the Wu family very much, and said with a faint smile: "How can this work, how can the official leave before he is caught." ”

"Jia Baoyu, don't deceive people too much, no matter what, this official is also the biological father of the concubine, how can you be humiliated like this?!"

"Who knows if you hid Wu Yong, didn't they all say that your Wu family is the last one, and Wu Yong is your chosen heir......

Jia Baoyu muttered, seeing that Wu Tianyou's body was unstable, he was a little afraid that he would really be angry to death, so he said loudly: "Haha, joke, joke, as long as Wu Yong is caught, the official will immediately take someone away, and will never disturb Lord Wu's quiet ......"

said, and finally couldn't help but ask with concern: "By the way, I heard that Lord Wu was demoted to the imperial tomb on an errand, why didn't you go today?" It's better to be an official or be loyal to your duties, really. ”

Wu Tianyou was originally a fourth-grade person, and he would have gone to the imperial tomb for a while, and he would have released a provincial official like Jia Zheng, but he was stained with the light of his son Wu Fan, and the official was not promoted, and he was given a few levels.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu's words of concern are like sprinkling salt on a bloody place.

Wu Tianyou's face was blue and red, and in the end he couldn't say anything, waved his sleeves, ignored Jia Baoyu, and turned to leave.

"Lord Wu must not feel aggrieved, think that day, this official was assassinated in the Qianjin Pavilion for no reason, didn't he say anything, if Lord Wu is angry with me for this little thing, but it will be too unlucky. Both of us are concubines, so we still have to be close to each other in the future. ”

Jia Baoyu's faint voice floated in, causing Wu Tianyou's figure to froze, but he didn't look back, and disappeared at the end of the hall after a while.

……

Wu Yong is indeed not in the Wu family, it should be said that he is not in Wu Tianyou's house.

When Zhanfei and the others brought Wu Yong, who was like a dead dog, over, Jia Baoyu really withdrew from the Wu family with everyone as agreed, without damaging a single flower or grass.

……

"Noise, palm."

Jia Baoyu, who was riding on a horse, originally didn't plan to pay attention to Wu Yong's "chirp", but he talked too much, and his voice was unpleasant, so he couldn't help but let people tell him to be quiet after all.

Jiang Cun stepped forward and was about to execute the order.

"I'll do it."

Zhanfei is a man with a rough figure, he took the initiative to ask for help, and when he stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves, he let the tied Wu Fan's soul rise.

With a "don't", an absolutely bright slap hit Wu Yongbai's tender face, making a crisp sound.

"Hey, hey." Zhanfei looked very happy, and he was about to make another cool backhand......

It was still Jia Baoyu who was worried that it would be difficult to beat people to death in two blows, so he stopped Zhanfei and saved Wu Yong from disaster.

However, Jia Baoyu's goal was also achieved, and Wu Yong was quiet, because he could no longer make a superfluous sound.

After a while, I suddenly heard a weak voice: "Jia Baoyu ......"

Jia Baoyu turned around, it was actually Wu Yong, this thing originally had a white and clean face, but at this time it was already half swollen, no wonder he was weak to speak.

"Is the eldest prince really dead?" He asked.

Jia Baoyu nodded.

As far as Jia Baoyu is concerned, there is no grudge between him and Wu Yong, just borrowing his name to find Wu Tianyou's bad luck. Of course, this is on the premise that he doesn't know what Wu Yong has planned behind his back.

Wu Yong was silent for a moment. Zhanfei's slap seemed to wake him up, and he no longer screamed, and his whole person actually exuded an aura called "wisdom".

Well, just looking at his appearance, this Wu Yong should be smarter than Wu Fan, a second-year teenager.

"I'm going to die, right?"

Wu Yong asked again.

Jia Baoyu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Whether you die or not, what does it matter to me.

If you don't really understand and look down on life and death, how can you keep your composure in the face of death?

Wu Yong is the same.

After seeing Jia Baoyu's indifferent expression, his feigned composure could no longer be maintained, and he suddenly said loudly:

"I know who sent someone to assassinate you in the Thousand Golden Pavilion that day......

Jia Baoyu involuntarily tightened the reins of the horse.

Wu Fan seemed to see hope, and he immediately said: "If you save my life, I will tell you who instructed the assassination of you behind the scenes that day!" ”

He looked at Jia Baoyu with hope.

For the death of a nobleman, it is not surprising that there are martyrs. He already knew that the emperor had killed many people for the sake of the eldest prince, and he knew that if he entered the iron gate in the forbidden army's yamen, the possibility of going out again would be very small.

But what crime did he Wu Yong commit? Not at all, he didn't believe that the emperor would care about him as an unknown person, most of them were reported by those people below, so he was involved.

As long as he doesn't go in for the time being, and then dredge up the relationship, he has a chance to live!

How could it be that the Wu family is weak, and his uncle is now in decline, maybe he won't care about him at all, at this time, he can only save himself.

And Jia Baoyu is the only life-saving straw he can grasp. The most important thing is that he has in his hands what Jia Baoyu definitely needs.

"How do you know who killed me that day?"

Jia Baoyu's face was cold.

"I ......"

Wu Yong was a little anxious, if Jia Baoyu suspected that he was involved in the assassination, then his hopes would be over.

So he hurriedly explained: "My uncle did it!" I have evidence in my hand, as long as you save my life, after the matter of the eldest prince is over, I am willing to help you testify and identify my uncle and avenge you......"

Wu Yong's voice was very sincere, and he looked hopeful.

He felt that he and Jia Baoyu had no hatred, they just helped him, and this deal was not a loss at all.

As for saying who the murderer is first, it doesn't matter, as long as Jia Baoyu wants to bring down his uncle, he needs his vital witness, otherwise, even if he knows, it is useless.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu must protect him.

Jia Baoyu looked down at Wu Yong, and he said lightly: "I understand the kindness of Grand Master Wu, but I can't save your life." ”

"How can it not be saved, as long as you say hello to the person in charge of this matter, and stuff some silver, I am such an insignificant person, who cares if I live or die?

Don't worry, I won't let you break the bank with this money, and I can even give you an extra amount of money in return afterwards? ”

"No need ......"

"Why not, my uncle is the biological father of the concubine, if you don't have evidence, it is impossible for you to get revenge......"

Wu Yong interrupted Jia Baoyu's words, which made Jia Baoyu a little displeased, and he said coldly: "If I say no, I don't need it, I Jia Baoyu want to take revenge, so why use evidence!" ”

Wu Yong's face was stunned.

"However, I still have to thank Mr. Wu, let me confirm the murderer even more, if Mr. Wu is okay today, Jia will put a thin wine in the future to thank you."

Jia Baoyu smiled faintly, then ignored him and walked forward.

Wu Yong, it's not necessarily impossible to save.

As far as Jia Baoyu knew, the emperor had returned to the palace at this time, and he left Dai Quan to deal with these things......

However, Jia Baoyu didn't want to trade with him.

It's not that it's not worth it, but I suddenly felt that this person was disgusting, and for a chance to live, he sold his own uncle without hesitation.

This kind of person, he doesn't even bother to look at it.

As for the grievances with Wu Tianyou......

Alas, he hadn't figured out how to clean up that old thing yet.
