Chapter Ninety-Eight: Search

The embassy, the soldiers of the Qiuguan Mansion are still outside the wall, and today they are here to maintain order to prevent accidents, but the accident still happened, although the place of the incident is not in the embassy, but in case, the soldiers did not evacuate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only did they not evacuate, but they were still on guard as before, not allowing anyone to enter the embassy easily, let alone leaving the embassy easily, and all those who entered and left the embassy had to verify their identities.

Xi Sheng, the second son of the governor of Xuzhou, who was supposed to visit the embassy today, was seriously injured in an assassination at the gate of his mansion, and the chief secretary of the Qiuguan Mansion then ordered the embassy to be strictly protected, not only to prevent anyone from storming the embassy, but also to prevent some people in the embassy from leaving.

To put it bluntly, it is suspected that someone who stayed in the embassy was inseparable from Xi Sheng's assassination, and in order to prevent the suspect from entering and leaving, he surrounded the embassy and protected it.

Xi Sheng was assassinated, the big priest came to Xi Mansion in person, and the Prime Minister Shi Cui Da also went to Xi Mansion to check the situation, and the search of the residence of the servants involved in the Xi Mansion has progressed, and its evidence seems to point to the assassination of Bazhou and Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, that is to say, this is related to Xi Sheng's assassination.

Therefore, people's eyes turned to the embassy again, and gathered on Yu Wenwen, who had a grudge against Xi Sheng.

In the corner of the embassy, Yuwenwen's entourage stood in the courtyard in line, being inspected by Kou Linyan, the little secretary of the Qiuguan Mansion, who held the list presented by Xie Hua, the commander of the palace, so he took a roll call, and then asked the officials of the palace to identify them one by one.

If Yuwen Wen wanted to assassinate Xi Sheng, it would be impossible for him to leave the embassy to do it himself, so he had to send someone to act privately, so it was inevitable to check whether his entourage was in the embassy.

Today, Xi Sheng is going to visit Yuwenwen in the embassy, and the Qiuguan Mansion sent soldiers to guard the periphery of the embassy, according to the statement of the ban on violence and the edict of the palace, Yuwenwen's entourage did not enter and leave the embassy today, and the current inventory results are also a lot of people.

Yuwenwen is suspicious, and Zhou Fashang and Tian Yilong, who stayed in the embassy at the same time as him, are also suspicious, these two can be regarded as having a grudge with Xi Sheng, and they are Yuwenwen's companions, so the inventory of these two entourages is also being carried out, and it is also the same and a lot.

But this doesn't prove anything, Xi Sheng was assassinated, the assassin is a servant in his house, if Yuwen Wen is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then he must have bought the servant in advance, so even if no one goes out today, the assassination operation will be carried out in the same way.

"Shangguan, the next thing is going to be searched..."A clerk said, Lin Yan's face tightened when he heard this, he sighed in his heart, nodded and strode to the side, followed by a group of personnel.

If he can choose, he would rather not come, mixed with this kind of, and he doesn't know when he will be used as a scapegoat and dismissed, but if he doesn't come, he can't let the big priest face the Xiyang County Prince.

Not long ago, an incident happened in the prison of the Qiuguan Mansion almost made the heads of the Qiuguan Mansion roll, and the officials who had easily escaped the catastrophe had a headache when they saw Yuwenwen.

The real culprit behind the murder of him in the Qiu Guanfu has not been caught, and now he has come to ask the Xiyang County Duke as a suspect, and he is not thick-skinned.

Lin Yan came to a courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was guarded, and when he walked in, he saw two people standing in the courtyard, and one of the young men saw Lin Yan coming, and asked with a smile: "How is it, are you going to start shoveling the ground?" ”

"It's a routine, and I ask for your forgiveness from Yuwen Envoy." Lin Yan arched his hand and said, his expression was quite embarrassed, and when he saw that Yu Wenwen said "please", he motioned to his subordinates to search the courtyard.

"Envoy, I don't know if there are any valuables, the lower officials will let people keep them carefully." Lin Yan asked, it is natural to search, but if the hands and feet of those subordinates are not clean, he will be unlucky if someone takes the opportunity to attack him.

"Money is something outside the body, but these pots of flowers and plants are gifts from the emperor." Yu Wenwen said, without waiting for Lin Yan to speak, then the conversation changed: "Maybe the official hid something in the flower pot, Xiao Sikou should not let it go." ”

"Where, where, the lower official doesn't mean that."

"Don't, Xi Langjun has an accident, I'm afraid this official is the first suspect, if the search is not thorough, I can't explain it to the prime minister, my father-in-law said it, didn't it?" Yu Wenwen began to speak in a weird way, and pulled his father-in-law, Wei Chishun, in.

"The prime minister will definitely act impartially, and the son-in-law should not think badly." Wei Chishun replied helplessly, today he was used as a shield, accompanying the officials of the Qiuguan Mansion to search the mansion, firstly, to prevent Yuwenwen from not cooperating and making people embarrassed, and secondly, to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to embarrass Yuwenwen.

"yes, yes, I was almost by that last time, and I don't know if Xifu was shoveled... Who is the real culprit behind the scenes, is there any news from the Qiuguan Mansion now? ”

"Ah, envoy, the case is being investigated, and the real culprit behind the scenes will definitely be caught." Lin Yan replied, sweating on his forehead, facing this kind of problem, even if the Great Sikou came, he would be extremely embarrassed.

"It can't be ordered by some beggar on the side of the road, right?" Yuwen Wen is aggressive.

"No, no," Lin Yanne replied, and he didn't have the confidence to answer this kind of question at all.

Wei Chishun looked at the scene embarrassed, without the slightest intention of saving the scene, his son-in-law almost became a castration, and the Qiu Guanfu did not dare to deal with Xi Sheng, who was the most suspect, but now that his son-in-law has become a suspect, he actually went to the door to search.

He knew that his son-in-law was almost castrated last time, and that Xi Sheng must be the mastermind behind the scenes, so he was not surprised that his son-in-law assassinated Xi Sheng, and he didn't even think there was anything wrong, if his son-in-law was unlucky, then his daughter Wei Chi Chi Fan was no different from being a widow, so Xi Sheng really deserved to die.

However, I couldn't find any evidence, and my son-in-law was fine, so things could only go over like this, but now that Xi Sheng was assassinated, there were waves again, if it was really Yuwenwen who did it, Wei Chishun only hoped that his son-in-law would clean up his hands and feet, and not be caught.

Xi Sheng was assassinated and wounded, but outsiders don't know what the specific situation is, but Wei Chishun probably knows the outline of the matter, and knows that it was the servants of the Xi Mansion who attacked his lord, so that the son-in-law will be less suspicious.

Yuwen Wen has no foundation in Yecheng, and the time he has been in Yecheng is very short, so it is basically impossible to buy the servants of Xifu, but now the Qiuguan Mansion dares to come to the embassy to search, which means that he has some evidence in hand, at least to prove that Yuwenwen has something to do with this matter.

So what is the evidence? It can't be some kind of letter or something, right? Is the son-in-law so stupid?

What the hell is going on, Wei Chishun is puzzled, he was sent by his father to make the mansion 'suppress the formation', he thought that the Qiuguan Mansion was making a show, after all, it was impossible to say that the suspect was not investigated if something happened, but now looking at this formation, it seems that he came prepared.

Lin Yan saw that Wei Chishun had a straight face, and Yu Wenwen began to speak in a bad tone, and felt more and more embarrassed, but he was ordered to come without investigating the case, otherwise there was no way to go back to the business.

"Envoy, the subordinate has been ordered to come to investigate the case, and there are some things that you have to ask the envoy for advice..."

The implication is to "record a confession", Lin Yan was afraid that Yuwenwen would not cooperate, but unexpectedly the other party was reasonable and expressed his willingness to help solve the case, and it was also to prove his innocence.

Lin Yan asked the two officials to take notes, and he began to ask various questions, such as how Yu Wenwen's whereabouts were recently, who could testify to it, who had recently visited the embassy, and who could testify to it.

Whether there was a conflict with someone in Yecheng, or who would have a grudge against him, not to mention street fights, some subtleties may also make people hold grudges.

For example, the two convoys are driving opposite sides on a narrow road, and there is a dispute over who should give way, or there is a dispute over whose room the girl is going to be in a wine shop, and so on.

Yu Wenwen spent a lot of money in Yecheng in early June, buying a lot of horses and a lot of jewelry, and Lin Yan asked him if he had ever had a conflict with anyone or had been blackmailed by anyone.

Hearing Xiao Si Kou's question, Wei Chishun was a little relieved, the other party's inquiry was obviously a normal case-handling process, not only to search the address, but also to investigate whether there was a possibility of being framed.

Xi Sheng's accident, the most 'benefit' is Yu Wenwen, this is a judgment based on common sense, but if Yu Wenwen is brought down in this way, who will benefit?

Think about this kind of thing, once Yuwenwen is unlucky, the political situation of Zhou will change dramatically, Shannan Dao Daxing Taiyu Wenliang is very likely to turn his face with the imperial court, if civil strife breaks out in Zhou, who will benefit from this?

Who else can there be, it must be the Sui State, it is impossible for Yecheng to be without the Sui State, just as it is impossible for Chang'an to be without the Zhou State's fine work, to spy on military and political affairs on weekdays, and not to do other things to avoid revealing his identity.

But as long as it's worth it, it's not impossible to take the risk and muddy the waters.

The more Wei Chishun thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could not be left idle, and it was no wonder that his father was so aggressive, and he had to figure things out no matter what.

If you don't check Yuwen Wen, Xi Sheng's father Xi Biluo doesn't look good, but if it is really found out that Yuwen Wen did it, then how to deal with it is also a problem, the most important thing is to figure things out, don't let Sui State fish in troubled waters.

If it was the Sui State that assassinated Xi Sheng and used it to provoke civil strife in Zhou, it would be terrible, which meant that the Sui State of Sui, which was lurking in Yecheng, had reached the point where he could easily assassinate the powerful.

Thinking of this, Wei Chishun couldn't help but glance at Yu Wenwen, his son-in-law was now asking and answering with Lin Yan, looking at his expression was very calm, there was nothing unnatural, seeing that he did not look like a thief, Wei Chishun was a little relieved.

As long as he is not caught, no one dares to do anything to Yuwen Wen, just like Xi Sheng before, as for whether the Xi family will retaliate, Wei Chishun believes that his father will give a good explanation to Xi Piluo.

When everyone had their own concerns, suddenly a clerk ran from the room and handed over a thing to Lin Yan, Lin Yan's face changed after listening to his whispers, and after glancing at Yuwen Wen, he asked: "Yuwen Envoy, since staying in the embassy, can there be others in the courtyard?" ”

"Except for the official's guards, it is said that there will be no outsiders coming in and out, even if the servants of the palace clean and bring tea and water, there are guards to follow, why, could it be that there is a discovery?"

"If that's the case, then why is there such a thing in the courtyard?" (To be continued.) )
