Two days have passed since the assassination, and everything has been calm. So, Mrs. Wei Chi returned to Wei Chi's mansion with her children and a group of servants.

However, on the day that Mrs. Wei Chi returned, a group of soap servants from Dali Temple came to Wei Chi's mansion, saying that they were ordered to arrest Wei Chi Gong.

So, seeing that Yu Chigong was taken away by the soap servant, Mrs. Yu Chi suddenly sobbed slightly.

Zhang Yunwen was also present at the time. He didn't intervene to stop it, because he knew he couldn't stop it. When the soap servant left, Zhang Yunwen stood in front of Mrs. Wei Chi and comforted softly: "Master, you don't have to worry about Master, His Royal Highness King Qin will definitely run for Master!" I believe that in a few days, Master will be back! ”

Mrs. Wei Chi suddenly stopped sobbing and looked at Zhang Yunwen: "Really? ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded: "Really! ”

In the corner of the courtyard, the two brothers, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing, were poking the ant nest heartlessly, laughing "hehe" from time to time.

The news of Wei Chigong's imprisonment soon spread to the Qin Palace. After Li Shimin learned the news, he immediately went out and visited several high-ranking officials in Chang'an City, such as Qu Tutong, Tang Jian, Pei Lin and others, and when he came out of these people's homes, a smile had already appeared on his face.

In the next few days, these people continued to lobby in front of Li Yuan, coupled with the intercession of Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong, the two clan generals, Wei Chigong was finally released after being imprisoned for eight days.

But it doesn't end there.

On the fourth day of the second lunar month, a carriage came to the gate of Cheng Yanjin's mansion and also moved down two boxes, and then Cheng Yanjin also refused.

On the seventh day of the second month, the emperor pardoned the edict and released Cheng Zhijie as the history of the Connecticut Thorn.

However, after receiving the pardon, Cheng Yanjin went to see Li Shimin once and said to him: "His Royal Highness's assistant ministers are about to run out, how can the king himself last long!" I swear not to leave the capital, hoping that the king will make a plan as soon as possible. ”

Then, Cheng Yanjin said that he was sick at home and did not leave Chang'an, nor did he go to Connecticut to take up his post.

Also encountered Duan Zhixuan, the second right protector of the Qin Palace, and Li Yuanji lured him with rich silk and wealth, but he refused. Li Yuanji had to give up stupidly.

However, Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji: "Among the wise and resourceful characters in the Qin Palace, the only ones to be feared are Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. If these two people are allowed to leave the Qin Palace, the strength of the Qin Palace, will definitely be greatly reduced, and it will be much easier for us to deal with Li Shimin at that time! ”

So, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji framed Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui together, so that they were reprimanded by Li Yuan, and let them leave the Qin Palace, and they were not allowed to do things for the King of Qin.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people coming to King Qin's mansion every day, Li Shimin's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.

The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin: "They can buy our people, why can't we buy their people?" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he found Zhang Yunwen and asked him to be in charge of this matter with Lin Ran.

Zhang Yunwen Lin Ran looked at the subordinate officials of the East Palace and the officials attached to the East Palace one by one, and finally selected the two. One was Chang He, the general of Li Jiancheng's department, who led the guards to carry out garrison tasks on the Xuanwu Gate. The other person is the crown prince and Wang Hui, who spends most of his time in the East Palace, and is very good at listening to news.

Both of them have one thing in common, and that is the extreme greed for money.

So, after Zhang Yunwen determined the candidate, he went directly to the Qin Palace, withdrew 200,000 copper coins, converted them into gold bricks, and packed them into two boxes.

One day at the end of February, the cold wind was biting, and Chang He on the Xuanwu Gate upstairs looked at the gloomy sky and couldn't help but sip secretly. Beside him, stood a row of Praetorian guards armed with long lances, iron armor and cloaks, although they looked majestic and majestic, they were equally cold to the bone.

"Alright, brothers, today's shift is here!" Chang He saw a group of soldiers from afar, led by a majestic general, coming towards the Xuanwu Gate.

Suddenly, the soldiers couldn't help but relax a little.

When the team of soldiers who changed shifts came, these people hurriedly handed over the long lance in their hands, and then flowed to the room of the Xuanwu Gate Tower to take off their iron armor.

Chang He braved the cold wind, and after saying goodbye to the soldiers, he first came to the East Palace to pay his errand, and then walked home.

However, seeing that he was about to arrive at the natural residence, suddenly a young man in Tsing Yi slipped past quickly, and not far away, a person was panting and chasing. Seeing the little guy passing by Chang He's side, the man shouted with difficulty: "Strong man help me!" Catch that thief! ”

Chang He suddenly reacted, it turned out that this little guy in Tsing Yi was a thief.

With his skills, he grabbed it with his backhand, and grabbed the little guy who was already close to him in his hand.

The man who had lost his belongings ran to Chang He's side and panted and said, "Thank you, strong man!" ”

Chang He looked at the little guy and asked him to hand over his belongings.

The little guy consciously handed over a money bag, but just as Chang He handed it over to the person, he threw his leg and suddenly slipped away.

Chang He turned his head and just saw the little guy climbing over the fence of the street.

When the man saw that the money bag was in hand, he was very happy and said that he wanted to invite Chang He to drink. It's already cold, so it's good to drink wine to warm up.

So, the two of them walked into the natural home.

After some conversation, Chang He knew that this person's name was Chen Quankang, who was the manager of a chamber of commerce in Shandong, and came to Chang'an in the first month to give gifts to the dignitaries in the capital.

The two of them had a glass of wine each, and when they drank five or six glasses, they were both slightly drunk.

At this time, Chen Quankang suddenly said: "Brother Chang is working in the East Palace, and the annual income is probably not low!" Presumably you don't know, in the first month of this year, our Chamber of Commerce sent 50,000 pieces of gold and silver silk to the East Palace! ”

A trace of jealousy suddenly flashed on Chang He's face: "Brother Chen said and laughed, we are just a small military attaché, where are there so many salaries, just to make ends meet!" ”

Chen Quankang unceremoniously patted Chang He's shoulder: "This time, Brother Chang helped the younger brother get something back, and the younger brother had nothing to reciprocate, so he gave Brother Chang a fortune!" ”

Chang He's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes flashed with golden light: "Oh, since Brother Chen is so generous, Junior Brother is disrespectful!" ”

I saw Chen Quankang clapping his hands, and suddenly, two men outside the door came in with a suitcase.

Chang He was puzzled, and the two men opened the box. Suddenly, he saw a golden light in the box, and the neat gold attracted his eye. With his mouth wide open, a line of saliva flowed unconsciously!

Chen ...... Brother Chen, what do you mean by this? Although Chang He said this, his eyes did not leave the box at all.

Chen Quankang smiled and spread out a piece of paper: "As long as Brother Chang signs his name on this paper and puts his handprint on it, then this box of gold will all belong to Brother Chang!" ”

Hearing this, Chang He couldn't help but be excited, suddenly came to his senses, and was about to pull out the horizontal knife, but saw that the two men actually took out two crossbows and aimed at him.

So Chang He slowly picked up the piece of paper, read it roughly, and knew that this was a letter of service, and signing his name was equivalent to serving the Qin Palace.

Chang He swallowed his saliva, looked at the thin piece of paper, and then looked at the heavy box of gold, and hesitated.

After all, there is so much gold piled up in front of him, and no one is not impressed.

Seeing that Chang He was a little moved, Chen Quankang walked to the side of the box, took out two gold bricks, and hit them gently.

"When—" A pleasant sound echoed throughout the room.

As if he was infected by this sound, Chang He took a deep breath, signed his name at once, and at the end, he bit his thumb and pressed a fingerprint fiercely.

After doing all this, he suddenly went soft in the chair, as if all the strength of his body disappeared with the press of his thumb.

The same situation happened a few days later, when the crown prince led the prince to change the number of princes. is also a person named Chen Quankang, but the location has been changed to Lin Ran's Zuiyun Building.
