Chapter Seventy-Four: Discovery

Wang: "You went to Guozijian to see Xuanqing?" ”

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, Xuanqing and Xiaolian are the closest to each other, so I went to ask him." ”

"And what did you ask?"

"Xiaolian has not been in contact with strangers outside the mansion in the mansion, since Sun Daochang left the Hou Mansion, Xiaolian was arranged by Uncle Zhong to go to the kitchen to take over the purchase, and what she sees every day is just a delivery man." Xuan Shijing said.

"Delivery man?" Wang was shocked: "You mean every day?" ”

"What's the problem? Aren't the ingredients in the kitchen of the Hou Mansion sent by the merchant every day? Xuan Shijing was puzzled.

"What you said is right, but the delivery of goods from the house is generally once every three or four days, where there is a day to run, which is also a little more diligent, all these years." Wang occasionally goes to the kitchen to get some things, and there are Chef Liu and his family taking care of them in the kitchen, so these things are more or less clear.

"After Xiaolian, has the merchant changed?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"This mother doesn't know, you let people go to the kitchen and ask Lao Liu, this matter is now in charge of Sister-in-law Liu." Wang said: "Jing'er, things have passed for so many years, and it is not so easy to investigate, don't be too tired yourself, everything has to come step by step, now that you know the goal, you only have to get the evidence that can be placed in front of Your Majesty, so you don't have to force yourself so much." When Wang said this, he also heard people say that the lights in the study were on until the third watch last night, and they were worried that Xuan Shijing would often stay up late, Xuan Shijing's body had just recovered, and if it continued like this, it would be detrimental to his health.

Xuan Shijing smiled, silent, evidence? Datang is not a place that pays full attention to evidence, Li Yuanjing, even if the evidence is in front of His Majesty Li Er, there is nothing enough to touch the nerves of His Majesty Li Er, Li Yuanjing is nothing more than a painless punishment, which is not what Xuan Shijing wants.

If you don't die, you will have endless troubles. However, Wang's words are also reasonable, these things cannot be achieved overnight, take your time, and one hit is the result that Xuan Shijing wants.

"Mother, I see that October is about to pass, and in a month, it will be winter again."

"Yes, this day is really good, in the blink of an eye, you are almost fifteen years old, and my mother should also find a good family for you." Wang smiled.

When Xuan Shijing heard this, he stood on the spot, he was only fifteen years old, so he was not in a hurry

"Well, mother, I mean, the weather is now comfortable, why don't we go out of the city tomorrow and have a look." Xuan Shijing proposed, on the outskirts of Chang'an, the scenery is just right. Now this weather is the best time to travel, Xuan Shijing thought that the Wang family had been in Chang'an City for ten years, and he didn't go out much, and he was busy with this and that when he came back, he had little time to accompany the Wang family, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

"Haven't you been busy with the case recently, let's talk about it when you are free in two days." Wang thought about it and then excused himself.

"The case is busy at any time, don't worry, the good times don't wait for people, mother, it's so decided, tomorrow morning, our house will go on a collective outing, our Zhuangzi is a good place, I let Shi Hu and Long'er go to prepare." After Xuan Shijing finished speaking, he left the dinner table and prepared to go to Long'er to explain tomorrow's affairs.

Wang looked at the back of Xuan Shijing leaving, shook his head helplessly and smiled, he hadn't walked out of this Hou Mansion for several years, I didn't expect that over the years, he would come over like a stopper, and in a blink of an eye, his son had grown so big and was so sensible.

As soon as Xuan Shijing left, Wang ordered his subordinates to come and withdraw dinner, and it was not early, so she should go back to her room to rest.

After Xuan Shijing came out of the middle hall, he went to the study again, and after Long'er had dinner, he began to clean in the study, and only then did he have the time to take care of the study, and the rest of the time he was outside with Xuan Shijing.

Hearing that the study door was opened, Long'er didn't react, but Xuan Shijing, as soon as she pushed open the study door, she saw that Gao Jun was already kneeling on the side of the bookcase, and when she saw Xuan Shijing coming in, Gao Jun bowed.

"Little Marquis."

Seeing Gao Jun in the study, Xuan Shijing estimated that it should be Sun Yaoting's side to inquire about some news.

walked to the side of the case, sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and poured another glass for Gao Jun: "Let's talk about it, how is Sun Yaoting's side, I heard in Xuanwu today that Wei Guogong defeated the Tubo army in Hanzhou, and he will return to the court on the same day, and there is not much time left for us." ”

"Wei Guogong is about to return to Chang'an, and I know more or less about it, today our people stared at Sun Yaoting's mansion all day and found a more suspicious person." Gao Jun said.

"Suspicious people?"

"That's right, it's a merchant, this merchant ran to Sun Yaoting's mansion three times a day, and when he went in and out, his expression was abnormal, and he kept looking around, as if he was afraid of being discovered, this person has been targeted by us, and the little one has already sent someone to follow him." Gao Jun said.

is a merchant again, if this merchant is the same person as the merchant who entered and left the Hou Mansion ten years ago, then Sun Yaoting is very likely to be a participant in assassinating him ten years ago, even if he is not a participant, he is also an accomplice.

"Little Marquis, next, do you want to continue to monitor Sun Yaoting?" Gao Jun asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No need, Long'er, come over for a while." ”

Long'er, who was cleaning up in the inner room, heard Xuan Shijing call her, put down the things in her hand and walked out, glanced at Gao Jun, who was sitting opposite Xuan Shijing, and then looked at Xuan Shijing: "Little Hou Ye, what's the matter?" ”

Xuan Shijing: "Go and call Shi Hu." ”

"Oh." Long'er answered, walked out of the study, and went to find Shi Hu.

"Now that you have caught some clues, you might as well pounce on them with the momentum of thunder, so as not to have many dreams at night, in case they are noticed, I'm afraid we can't keep this clue, now we already have Sun Yaoting and Li Yuanjing's correspondence about the affairs of Shicheng, this was originally Sun Yaoting's hole card, and now, it is our hole card, tonight you and the people under your hand, take the merchant to the mansion overnight, no, take it to Dali Temple Prison."

The door of the study was pushed open again, and Long'er and Shi Hu walked in.

"Shi Hu, tonight, let Gao Jun send someone to go to Sun Yaoting's mansion with you." Xuan Shijing said.

"Little Marquis, let me go to the Mansion of the Squire of the Ministry of War? Why? Shi Hu was puzzled.

Xuan Shijing: "Go to his study, bring out all the letters he exchanged with all the officials, and try not to alarm the guards in Sun Yaoting's mansion." ”

Since he decided to act with lightning speed, there is no need to leave the things in Sun Yaoting's study to him, not to mention, Sun Yaoting may know what happened ten years ago, and Xuan Shijing also has to pick out some information from those letters to shut up those old martial arts ministers who are active in the court.
