Chapter 262: Du Jiang's Strange Heart
() Du Fu.
What Du Jiang is most worried about at the moment is not Xue Tan, because he is dead, and dead people will never speak, so it is unreasonable for people to be afraid of ghosts sometimes, and the living people are the biggest threat.
What he was afraid of was Dong Yu, who was still powerful in the court, and the Siniang who appeared inexplicably, behind her, the powerful background.
When Du Jiang came into contact with the task submitted by Dong Yu, he didn't know that in the place of the brothel, the reason why the sixth elder brother wanted to kill a group of people was because it was a place where the crown prince Qi Yuan often went.
And if Dong Yu knew about this, he must also know that the person who was blocking behind him must be the sixth elder brother, so he took advantage of the situation and took this opportunity to curry favor with Qi Yuan.
In other words, he must have known that the sixth elder brother had already had the intention of getting rid of Siniang, and the prince was such a smart person, he would definitely leave a way back for himself, and he would inevitably reveal a clue to Dong Yu.
But this puts Du Jiang in an embarrassing situation, once the matter is revealed, it must be himself who is the victim of Dong Yu.
Even if the sixth elder brother didn't know that the wicked person behind Dong Yu was himself, the Ji Nuji also knew about it, and it was precisely because she wanted to blame the sixth elder brother for this matter, so this woman stayed until now, and she couldn't let the people of Dali Temple continue to investigate, and there must be a result in this matter.
As a result, either Siniang and Ji both died, or they were found to be Dong Yu's comrades, and the matter was exposed.
He was restless in the house, and this matter had been known to too many people, and he had no way to tell other classes or ask for any help from him, because Dong Yu would definitely blame himself for his ineffective work, so his fate might be the same as Xue Tan, who died tragically in Yangzhou.
Xue Tan's matter was also revealed by Dong Yu, and after this order was issued, Dong Yu had no movement.
"Come here." Du Jiang's voice sounded a little weak, and the rush and thoughts of the past few days had exhausted him, and he called his subordinates to ask him about some things, as if he had exhausted his strength.
"Listen, if one day, I am taken away by the people of the imperial court, I must take care of my wife, I have already found a place to live in Shuzhou, although it is not big, but it is also beautiful, you wait for the wind to be quiet, and then arrange for Mrs. to go out of the city and rush there."
"If I disappear in the next few days, don't make a noise, and don't tell General Dong what happened to his family and where his wife went, understand?"
"Your Excellency, ...... you"
"Take precautions, things have happened frequently in the past few days, Xue Tan is outside the city again, the prince will definitely send someone to investigate, even if Dong Yu spares me, the prince will not let me go easily."
"I must have a reason for choosing to do this, in addition to not wanting to take the suspicion on me, I am afraid that General Dong does not trust us very much now." Du Jiang touched the wall of the cup and said slowly.
"It is often said that a king is like a tiger, and if a king has a distrust of you, and he does not deliver all his affairs to you, then I am afraid that he will be killed."
"Because you know that the dead are the best way to keep secrets."
At the same time, another.
There was a person sitting in the room, and even Dong Yu, who was arrogant, stood aside respectfully and served.
This person is the sixth elder brother
"Sixth Elder Brother." Dong Yu respectfully saluted forward, with a flattering and vain face.
"Sixth elder brother, the matter of Jinghonglou is indeed a dereliction of duty by his subordinates, I never thought that Siniang would get acquainted with the prince, and the prince stopped me again and again, not only intentionally to deal with me, but also to refute your face, according to Weichen's view, as soon as this Siniang died, Qi Yuan would have no backbone."
Du Jiang was also bewitched by Dong Yu, and now that Xue Tan is dead, he was also found to be a rebel, although the prince has not been clear, but he also has a certain number in his heart, the sixth elder brother has exhausted his anger, and now he must have a grudge against himself, if this person is not removed now, I am afraid that he can only become a victim.
"Besides, now the matter has also been revealed, the minister will not hide it from you, although the matter of Siniang, although she did it herself, but the lower official wanted to use her to kill, but it was unsuccessful, but was taken advantage of, and now her affairs must be known by others, but this person has not shown up for the time being, and he must be afraid of your prestige."
Dong Yu didn't beat around the bush, and had a straightforward showdown with the sixth elder brother.
"Sixth elder brother, can you leave it alone, the minister must do his best to support you, you also know that now you are the backbone of this civil and military official, although Qi Yuan is not a capable person, but if he is put on the throne, although he cannot shake your status, it will inevitably disturb you."
"There are so many things happening in this capital now, no one wants to see more things happen, so if Qi Yuan doesn't die, it's hard for you to feel at ease."
"I think, you want to be promoted and lose your heart!" As soon as the sixth elder brother slapped the table, Dong Yu's face turned cold.
"That
Xue Tan, but I am optimistic about a talented person, who will definitely be able to help me, and will definitely be a useful talent in the future, now you want to harm him again and again, and slander him for conspiring with me to rebel, I think, you really have lived enough, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have, what identity, could it be, you want to disobey me, and I can't argue? ”
"Wechen doesn't dare." Dong Yu looked at it coldly, but there was no sign of admitting his mistake.
"The minister doesn't know that the sixth elder brother is so optimistic about Xue Tan, he doesn't dare to figure out your thoughts, let alone disobey orders! Shuchen was confused for a while, if that's the case, why didn't you leave that Xue Tan in the capital? Instead, it was devolved to such a remote place as Yangzhou? ”
"Can you fathom my mind?" The sixth elder brother looked contemptuous. "That Yangzhou City, but there is Qi Yuan's most important informant, and Xue Tan himself does not deal with Qi Yuan."
"And that kind of thing?" Dong Yu narrowed his eyes.
"That'...... What are you here for? Dong Yu looked at the sixth elder brother, he knew that the sixth elder brother must have asked for himself.
Outside the city of Yangzhou.
"Who is this......?" Although Xue Tan probably guessed that the person in front of him was Liang Chenshan's friend, he still didn't dare to believe that he had met this person here.
"Hahaha, presumably Brother Xue hasn't seen it, but he also guessed who he is." Liang Chenshan didn't see that Xue Tan seemed to know this person.
"He is my new friend in Yangzhou City, named Chang Lei."
"It's you." Xue Tan got up excitedly and hurriedly saluted.
"I have heard of the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to have three lives, but I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see you when I was so down, in tattered clothes, and I hope to forgive."
And Liang Chenshan looked at him with a puzzled expression, could it be that the two of them couldn't get along?
"Hey, where." Chang Lei's eyes gestured to Xue Tan, waved his hand, and hurriedly said.
"Brother Liang told me earlier that you must be a cheerful person, so you don't need to be so polite."
"Brother Xue has just arrived here, but he has important things to do?" Chang Lei sat down with the two, and a few people chatted.
"My family was originally from the capital, but I didn't find a good place to go at home, and I was despaired."
Chang Lei held back a smile and watched Xue Tan act.
"I finally got a small official position, which Cheng thought that day I got drunk and angered an official, I was bullied in Beijing, but fortunately, the prince saw everything and exiled me to Shuzhou, which is not too much punishment."
