Chapter 394: Shocking Conspiracy
Yang Wenhuai chose this place as a base for exchanging news, he himself didn't even have to leave the palace, he only needed to buy off the soldiers patrolling on the sandwich wall, and the news could be sent to the master of King Teng's pavilion.
Originally, this matter had been going on secretly and smoothly, but since Master An Cheng returned to Chang'an from his travels, things took a turn for the worse - he decided to stay in Chang'an for a long time. As we all know, Master An Cheng was a disciple of Master Kukai, and he stayed in Chang'an, so he should have lived in the master's house, so he asked Ankokuji Temple to repair it, only to wait for the completion of the construction in October.
Seeing that this secret stronghold was about to be lost, Yang Wenhuai had no choice but to send a letter to the Pavilion Master of King Teng, asking him to deal with Master An Cheng. Thinking that when the killer went to Anguo Temple, he happened to meet Mo Yan attacking the Venerable Master An Cheng, so he lurked in the dark and observed, until the Venerable Master An Cheng escaped with injuries, and then waited for the opportunity to make a move, leaving a fatal wound on the back of the opponent's head.
Obviously, the murderer of Master An Cheng was the same person who killed Shopkeeper Liu, Ah Du, and Li Qi, and it was the master who used poison darts without permission. The reason why he didn't use poison darts that day, and even pulled out the hidden weapon behind the Venerable Master's head, was to cover up his identity, and he didn't want people to suspect that this matter had anything to do with the forces behind Li Qi.
It's a pity that Skynet is restored and not leaked, and the failure of Li Qi's rebellion led to Du Qiuniang's entry into the palace, which caused the old love of the Son of Heaven to die, and ordered a re-investigation of Ji Meiren's death. Unexpectedly, this matter was not a harem competition for favor, but involved the traitor Yang Wenhuai, and unexpectedly unraveled the connection behind these four bloody cases, which led to a shocking conspiracy!
The world is unpredictable, everything is like being connected by an invisible long thread in the dark, and finally winding into a circle.
Li Chun feels extremely happy every time he thinks of this, glad that he has no feelings for Ji Meiren, and glad that he picked Xilingyue to re-investigate the case, otherwise the truth will not know how long it will be buried, and the traitors around him don't know when they will be removed.
"Yesterday you split up, what did you gain?" The young emperor retracted his thoughts and opened his mouth to ask Li Chengxuan and Pei Xingli.
Both of them shook their heads with regret, indicating that they had not succeeded.
Just yesterday night, Li Chengxuan led the Shence Army to raid the mansion of Master Kukai of Yongjiafang, but unfortunately he pounced and did not catch any suspicious people. At the same time, Pei Xingli also led another team of people to smash the semicolon of the "Kangxing Dart Bureau" in Chang'an City, and the building was empty.
According to the people nearby, the people of the Chang'an branch of the "Kangxing Dart Bureau" have left one after another as early as the beginning of the lunar month, and the dart masters all said that they were returning to their hometowns for the New Year and were in a hurry.
Yang Wenhuai repeatedly assured that he would never disclose this matter in advance. Li Chengxuan and others also thought that Xiling Yue entered the palace to thoroughly investigate Ji Meiren's fall from the building, which caused a storm in the palace, and was learned by His Royal Highness Kangxing in time, worried that Yang Wenhuai would be found out, so they evacuated in advance.
The investigation has made important progress so far, but the clue has been interrupted, which makes the Son of Heaven anxious: "You all talk about it, what should you do now?" ”
Pei Xingli knew the least about this case, and his identity was the lowest among the four, so he didn't dare to take the lead in speaking.
Li Chengxuan was also thinking about something, but did not reply.
Guo Zhongting came up with an unprecedented idea: "Shengshang, since Yang Wenhuai's clue is broken, it is better to find another way." ”
"Going off the beaten path? How? ”
"Uh...... It's just that this way doesn't work, so let's find another way. ”
Li Chun was skeptical of Guo Zhongting's ability: "You found another way?" ”
"Ah, no!" Guo Zhongting waved his hand again and again, "The minister is only responsible for throwing bricks and attracting jade, and this other way, naturally I want you and Uncle Fu Wang to come to find it." ”
Li Chun suddenly felt disappointed.
The rest of the people were used to his nonsense, and they didn't react much.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Guo Zhongting had no choice but to look at Xiling Yue, and kept lip syncing: throwing bricks to attract jade, throwing bricks to attract jade!
Xiling Yue glanced at him helplessly, so she had to say her immature thoughts and help him save the scene: "Holy Lord, we might as well start with the suspicious feudal town." Even Liu Pi and Li Qi, who have already been ambushed, go to copy the house, maybe they can find some clues. ”
"Yes, yes, raid the house, raid the house!" Guo Zhongting hurriedly agreed.
This proposal lifted Li Chun's spirits. Yes, Yang Wenhuai has already said that Liu Bi, the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival who rebelled last year, and Li Qi, the envoy of the Zhenhai Festival who rebelled this year, are both minions of the orphans of the Wu family.
Now it seems that there are more than just two of them, and there must be more feudal towns that have been bought.
In this case, it is better to start with the feudal towns, as long as these ill-intentioned feudal towns can be uprooted one by one, the orphans of the Wu clan will be greatly injured.
Li Chun couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Yue'er is really a female Zhuge , it's a pity that you are a daughter, if you are a man, you must be the pillar of the imperial court!" ”
Since it was found out that Yang Wenhuai was a traitor, Li Chun's attitude towards Xilingyue was obviously much closer, and he even trusted Li Chengxuan and Pei Xingli more.
Xiling Yue naturally made a modest gesture and smiled back: "It's all the emperor's uncle, you are sage, you know how to make good use of people, and you don't know your identity, otherwise even if Yue'er has Zhuge talent, there is no place to play, right?" ”
Li Chun felt much more comfortable when he heard this: "It's still Yue'er who can speak." I don't dare to say anything else, but I have always been very accurate in looking at people. ”
After hearing this, several people nodded again and again, and the atmosphere that had just been stiffened by Guo Zhongting finally turned around.
Xilingyue took the initiative to ask again: "By the way, Shengshang, have all the confiscated family property of Liu Pi and Li Qi been returned to the treasury?" Especially calligraphy and painting, it is likely that there are some clues hidden, Yue'er wants to take a look. ”
Li Chun also had this intention, so he said: "Part of the family property of the two of them was returned to the local people, and the cash was allocated to the household department, and calligraphy and painting should not be included in the Shanggong Bureau." ”
"Since it's in Shanggongju, it's easy to do." Xiling Yue volunteered, "Yue'er will check it tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Li Chun pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let Zhengjun come with you, he is more familiar with the situation." ”
"Zhengjun" is Pei Xingli's table word, taken from the famous article "Lisao" by the Warring States sage Qu Yuan, "the name Yu is said to be regular, and the word Yu is said to be Lingjun". I don't know when Li Chun didn't call Pei Xingli "Pei Qing", and directly called his cousin. This is undoubtedly a hint that he attaches great importance and affection to Pei Xingli.
When Xilingyue heard Li Chun's proposal, she was very resistant in her heart, and glanced at Guo Zhongting, suggesting that he would help refuse.
Guo Zhongting reciprocated the favor, and immediately volunteered to say: "Holy Lord, the minister is the best at copying the house, it is better to let the minister ......"
Before he finished speaking, Pei Xingli had already responded: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Li Chun consciously ignored him and looked straight at Xilingyue.
The latter had to reluctantly agree: "Yue'er obeys." ”
