Wen Yanbo was demoted to Kaifeng, and for a while he was bored and had nothing to do, which was more uncomfortable than killing him!

"Xiangye, someone sent a letter." Jia Ding said in a low voice.

Lao Wen was a little puzzled, took it in his hand, looked at the handwriting on it, and was stunned for a moment...... He is very familiar with it, this is Xiaoyi's word, didn't this unlucky kid go back to Beijing to report on his work?

Why did you run to Kaifeng and give yourself a letter?

Why didn't he come to meet and make it clear directly?

With a stomach full of questions, Lao Wen looked down, and when he saw half of it, Lao Wen's hands were cold, and cold sweat flowed down his sideburns, "Quick, go!" ”

The family was stunned by the shouting, "Go, where are you going?" ”

"Go and call your uncle! Come on! Lao Wen's voice has changed.

The housekeeper climbed with him, and after a while, he called Wen Jifu over.

Wen Jifu was still a little stunned, looking at his father's knife-like gaze, and said stunned: "Dad, what's the matter with you?" ”

Lao Wen didn't speak, he waved his hand, drove the housekeeper out, and then got up himself, walked around the house, closed all the doors and windows, and repeatedly confirmed that no one was there, and then sat back in his position, and he pulled his son to his side.

"You kid must tell the truth! Dare to lie with one word, and our family will be finished! ”

Wen Jifu nodded immediately, "Please rest assured, Dad, my son is not so bold." ”

"Hmm!"

Lao Wen's eyes rolled, and then he said, "You have been in the Western Regions for a few years, right?" ”

"That's right, didn't the child just rely on starting in the Western Regions to return to the capital, you won't be confused, and you won't even forget about it......"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lao Wen interrupted his son and continued: "Then you tell me, what other forces are there in the Western Regions that can use a large amount of money, a lot of money?" ”

Wen Jifu didn't understand what his father meant, "There are many wealthy merchants in the Western Regions, and those who do all kinds of business, if they want to say that they are rich, they are no worse than the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, Dad, what do you care about them?" Want money and make a comeback? ”

"Phew!" Wen Yanbo carefully observed his son's expression and found that Wen Jifu was indeed quite confused, and Lao Wen was a little relieved.

"That's right, someone sent 200,000 taels of gold from the Western Regions to Feng Jing!"

"What?"

Wen Jifu's face changed wildly in fright, and his lips trembled, "Dad, you said that someone bought Feng Jing and asked him to assassinate His Majesty?" This money is the fund for killing the king? ”

Wen Yanbo sighed, "I'm afraid that's the case!" Xiao Yu is quite interesting, he went to Tianzhu as an official, passed by Kaifeng, and sent this letter to your father, the old man really couldn't imagine that there was really such a madman, it was incredible! ”

Wen Yanbo is bad enough and shameless enough, but he never thinks about it as an old man, and Lao Wen can't figure it out, he should be so brainless that he actually wants to kill His Majesty, isn't this looking for death?

Wen Xianggong has been smart and pragmatic all his life, and of course he will not take risks, but not everyone is like this.

When Wen Jifu heard this amazing news, he immediately fell into deep thought, and his expression was solemn and very entangled.

"Bunny!"

Lao Wen grabbed his son's chest with his hand, he used too much force, and his fingers were inserted into the skin, which hurt so much that Wen Ji Fu grinned.

"Daddy!"

"Shut up!" Lao Wen said viciously: "You tell me the truth, did you kid do it, what are you going to do?" ”

Wen Jifu's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Dad, dear Dad!" Don't put on the child, the child will never dare to do something rebellious! ”

He tried his best to explain, but Lao Wen still didn't give up.

"Listen, since this case is going to be investigated, it will definitely be investigated to the end. You can't hide a word...... Say, you say now, who is the most likely? ”

Wen Jifu also realized that the situation was serious, and he hurriedly used his brain.

There are a lot of rich people, but there are not many who are rich and can collude with Feng Jing to let him do things.

First of all, Wen Jifu thought of Zhao Zongjing, who had been in the Western Regions for many years, was born as a prince of the clan, had strong financial resources, and did have the ability to do it.

"It's just that Zhao Zongjing and Feng Jing don't agree! If he wants to plot against His Majesty, it will also follow the path of Wang Ning'an's people, and he will not join forces with Feng Jing...... In the same way, there is also Murong Qingchen, he can also afford to pay, but he looks down on civil officials even more, and it is unlikely that he will cooperate. ”

"In addition to these two, there are some remaining royal families in the rest of the Western Regions, and there are many families and tribes on the Seljuk side...... They all have money, but they may not want to collude with Feng Jing and assassinate His Majesty. ”

Lao Wen is the head, after all, those remnants want to take revenge, at most they hire assassins, and there is absolutely no way to contact the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is better to find a quasi-son!

It's simply impossible.

"The person who pays for the murder must be very familiar with the court of the Great Song Dynasty and know the calculations of various forces, so he can prescribe the right medicine and hit it with one blow."

"Dad, maybe there's another possibility."

"You say!"

"Dad, there are financial forces standing behind Feng Jing, this is a well-known thing, will they pay money and fake hands to plot against Your Majesty?"

Lao Wen thought about it and immediately waved his hand.

"Absolutely not, everyone knows that financial forces exist, but who are they, which families, which officials? Are you making it clear? ”

Lao Wen said: "If they were to do it, they would definitely not come up with a trick of buying Feng Jing with gold...... Gold from the Western Regions to Xijing, there are records along the way, so it can be found out after such a long time...... If they use shares, use real estate, and thank you afterwards, will there be traces? ”

Wen Jifu couldn't help nodding, "Daddy, if the financial group had done things so clumsy and full of loopholes, they would have been killed by Wang Ning'an a long time ago." ”

"Well, the question now is who is the real murderer."

Rao is old man is quick-witted, but when he left the court, he had no source, so he could only think crankily and couldn't get the point...... The same analysis is also being staged in Beijing, but the goal is clearer.

"The Wen family won't do it, neither will Murong, and as for Zhao Zongjing, he still won't." Wang Ningan decisively excluded some people, and Chen Shunzhi accompanied him and looked for it with Wang Ningan.

After a circle, they also did not find a possible murderer.

"Lord Wang, let's exaggerate the scope and see who can afford the money, who can contact Feng Jing, who is familiar with the power of the court, and who has all three, is a possible suspect."

"This is a good solution, just do it!"

Wang Ning'an's brain turned rapidly, constantly sifting, until the evening, the lamp and shadow flickered, Wang Ningan suddenly noticed, "This is a kerosene lamp?" ”

Chen Shunzhi nodded, "If the prince thinks it's not good, he will change it back to whale oil." ”

Wang Ningan waved his hand, "Forget it, there are not many whales, and it is a big sin to keep whaling and make species extinct...... Kerosene is taken from petroleum and works better. By the way, do we have enough oil now? ”

From the case to energy, Chen Shunzhi felt that the prince's thinking was too divergent, but he still patiently explained.

"Lord Wang, in the past, oil came from Hebei and other places, but at that time it was only enough for the fierce fire oil consumption in the army...... Later, the output increased, and the smelting technology came up, so that kerosene lamps were available...... In recent years, oil has also been found in the Western Regions, and oil has also been found in the desert on the Seljuk side, and as expected, within ten years, oil will inevitably become popular, and every household can afford kerosene lamps. ”

Wang Ningan frowned, "Who is in charge of the oil in the Western Regions?" ”

"Of course, it is the Western Regions Protectorate, and there are many private companies, among which the one with the most shares is King Hami." Speaking of this, Chen Shunzhi felt that Wang Ning'an's gaze changed, he hesitated slightly, and his face changed...... How did you forget this!

Who is the king of Hami?

The first king of Hami was Zhao Congyu of the first line of Zhao Da, he was named the king of Hami, was expelled from the capital, it has been more than ten years, Zhao Congyu died of illness eight years ago, and the position of King Hami was passed to his son Zhao Shijiang.

For so many years, they have been honest and have not moved.

Neither military power nor personnel power, just peace of mind and be a prince of peace.

From the initial gold rush, to the opening of the Silk Road, to the discovery of oil...... King Hami has accumulated a lot of wealth, and there is really a mountain of gold piled up at home.

"Lord Wang, do you suspect that King Hami is the murderer?"

Wang Ning'an's face was solemn, "Such a big case is definitely something that a Hami king can complete, but he should have made a contribution, and the 200,000 taels of gold are very likely to come from the palace!" ”

Chen Shunzhi immediately said: "Lord Wang, do you want to arrest someone now?" ”

"Of course we have to arrange it, but don't be in a hurry to do it yet, tell Han Zongwu to pry Feng Jing's mouth open first!"

After having a direction, Han Zongwu's confidence is even more sufficient.

He didn't go directly to Feng Jing, but asked people to clean up a few rooms in the heavenly prison, and then get a group of people to come in, disguised as family members from the Hami Palace...... This hand really worked, and when Feng Jing "happened" to see the people of Hami Palace's arrest, his heart felt as if he had been hammered.

The court is really powerful enough, and it actually found out the head of King Hami so quickly...... What should I do and what can I do?

Feng Jing tossed and turned, completely insomnia...... For the next few days, he was like a demon, listening every day with his ears pricked up, and at the slightest sound of footsteps, he was immediately alert, both expecting someone to come and fearing to interrogate him.

In this way, on the fifth day, Feng Jing's psychological defense line was already fragile, and it was full of holes...... "Feng Jing, killing the king and killing his father, the crime cannot be punished, tomorrow will be the day of a thousand cuts, and the nine clans will be punished...... The last meal was eaten, and I went on my way. ”

Han Zongwu said coldly, without half feelings.

Looking at the four dishes in front of him, Feng Jing's hands and feet were cold.

He suddenly jumped up and shouted madly: "I am an official of the imperial court, you haven't been interrogated yet, why kill me?" I'm not guilty, I'm innocent! ”

Han Zongwu didn't bother to listen at all, and got up and left directly. Before he could take a few steps, Feng Jing collapsed on the ground and suddenly shouted: "Zhao Shijiang, he is the mastermind, he asked me to do it...... Damn it's him, it's him! ”

……

"This Feng Zhuangyuan, who was judged before the trial, was so scared that he peed his pants." Han Zongwu said in a relaxed tone: "Such a big case must be seamless, and the evidence is ironclad, now that Feng Jing has confessed, he will immediately pass the order to arrest King Hami!" ”
