"Has it been interrogated? Does he have any accomplices? ”

Liu De asked.

Li Yuanfang replied respectfully: "He was just arrested and put in prison, and he has not been interrogated yet, because the thief's arms and knees are all shattered, and if he is strictly interrogated, I am afraid he will not be able to withstand tomorrow." ”

"And these two assassinations were carried out by him alone, and the possibility of having a colleague is very low!"

Li Yuanfang added.

"Well, no matter what, try to find out, and finally deal with this thief, Beiping is the capital of the country, and this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!"

Liu De made the final decision.

"The minister understands!"

Li Yuanfang let out a long breath, this matter has been pressing on the head of the Xuanjing Division for several months, and now it is finally clear from the clouds and mist to see the moon, and the Xuanjing Division has escaped this catastrophe.

Li Yuanfang swore in his heart that from now on, he must strengthen the investigation in Beiping City, and there must not be any such thing again.

......

It was winter, and it was very late at night, and the bright moon was shining on the earth, as bright as day.

A middle-aged man dressed as a merchant arrived at a post house outside Beiping with a caravan all the way.

took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and looked at the Beiping city wall with a faint outline in the distance, and suddenly felt a heroic feeling in his heart, "Beiping, I'm Lu Buwei here!" ”

"Father-in-law, have we arrived in Beiping?"

There was a crisp sound like a yellow warbler coming from inside the carriage, and this sound seemed to tickle people in my heart, making people think about it and think about it.

"My daughter, we are indeed in Beiping City, my father has purchased a big house in Beiping City, and we will be in Beiping in the future! But it's getting late now, so we can only rest outside the city today! ”

Lü Buwei said.

"Father-in-law!"

The curtain of the car was lifted by the woman, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be ashamed of the woman's beauty, and a floating cloud covered the moon in the sky.

Seeing this, Lu Buwei couldn't help but praise: "My daughter's beauty can't even compare to the moon, so she hid behind the clouds!" ”

"What did the righteous father say! What a shame the child is! ”

The woman hurriedly saluted Lu Buwei.

This woman is wearing a snow-white Luo skirt, her figure is slender, and her temperament is even more out of the world, with a black and green silk hanging down like a waterfall, reaching her waist, and her pretty face is even more pink and jade, and she can be broken by blowing, it is really like a fairy descending to the dust, and it is beautiful.

The surrounding servants and maids were busy moving the goods from the car, Lu Buwei looked at the busy crowd, and said to his righteous daughter: "For my father, I go to and from all over the world, buy at a low price, sell at a high price, and now I am worth a thousand gold, and I am also a big businessman, I don't say that I call for wind and rain in my hometown, but I don't dare to despise it, Wu'er, then do you know why your father still wants to come to Beiping?" ”

The woman gritted her teeth, and Ying Ying said: "My father once said that even if a merchant is rich, he is like a lamb to the slaughter in front of powerful officials. ”

"That's right!"

Lü Buwei clapped his fists and said loudly: "I once talked to my father, "How many times can I make a profit from plowing the field?" “

The father said, "Ten times."

I asked again, "How many times is the profit from selling pearls?" The father said, "A hundredfold."

I'm asking, "How many times can I profit by setting up a monarch of a country?" The father said, "Innumerable." ”

Lü Buwei looked at his righteous daughter and said: "Cultivating land and doing business, although there is firepower, but it is only a small profit, and only by supporting the monarch to establish a country is a big benefit, so my father gave up the industry in his hometown and came to this Beiping City." ”

The woman had some doubts: "Father, if you want to support a prince, shouldn't you choose a weak prince?" Why did you come to Beiping, this child of His Royal Highness the Duke of Han heard that he was strong and strong, occupying the entire land of seven states! ”

"Wu'er, you can have such an insight, worthy of your father's earnest teaching, if it was seven or eight years ago, supporting a weak prince, with the ability of being a father, there is absolutely no problem in occupying a corner of the world, but now it is not possible, now all the princes have become forces, and all the families under their command occupy important positions, and if you go to your father as a businessman, you will definitely be excluded and have no chance."

Lu Buwei stroked his beautiful hair under his chin and continued: "And today, His Royal Highness the Duke of Han has occupied the seven states of the world, with the wisdom and martial arts of the Duke of Han, as well as the strength of the hundreds of officials under his command, it will not be difficult to unify the world, even if it is not unified, it is very easy to occupy the seven states as a kingdom, and it will stretch for three or five generations. ”

The woman was still a little puzzled, frowned and asked: "As my father said, His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is wise and martial, and the martial arts under his command are also well-known heroic figures, how can he be in a high position under the command of the Duke of Han, and even worship the marquis?" ”

"My silly daughter!"

Lu Buwei looked up to the sky and laughed: "Isn't this you? You're my odd thing! ”

"Me? What can a child do for his father? ”

There was a hint of confusion on the woman's face.

Lu Buwei smiled and said: "Everyone in the world says that His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is extraordinary, but the only weakness of His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is also known to everyone, that is, he is lustful, and there are dozens of concubines in the mansion with good faces, and the heirs are unknown. And your daughter, your appearance is the moon in the sky, and you will be ashamed when you see it, because my father decided to find an opportunity to send you to Han Gong..."

Lu Buwei paused, and then said: "You must know that Han Gong is in the prime of life, and he will not easily set up a son, and when you give birth to an heir for Han Gong, you will do your best to help him become the son of Han Gong, and when the son ascends the throne, how easy it is to worship the prince for your father!" ”

The woman is ignorant, her father-in-law has the grace of nurturing herself, and now she can serve her father-in-law, of course she is very happy, and this is also to repay her father-in-law for her nurturing grace.

The woman said, "The child obeys his father's orders!" ”

"Good!"

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "Wu'er, go and rest!" For the Father's sake, he will urge them to work! ”

"Then the boy is gone!"

The woman nodded, and returned to her room, surrounded by the maids.

Lu Buwei looked at the busy crowd and muttered in his heart: "Liu De likes beauties, once the monarch is lustful, it is like a knife scraping bones, how many people can live for a long time?" Hehehehe..."

......

As a messenger, Jian Yong hurried all the way and finally entered Xizhou three months later, Zhao Yun drove his horse to Jian Yong's side, and said to Jian Yong: "Lord Jian, this is still thirty miles away from Bai Dudu's hometown county. ”

"Thirty miles?"

Jian Yong looked up at the sky and asked, "Work hard, can you get to the county before nightfall." ”

Zhao Yun affirmed: "A certain subordinate is an elite white horse servant, and he will definitely be able to reach the county if he speeds up his horsepower, but I'm afraid it will be hard for Lord Jane." ”
