(Collect!) ）

Gongsun Lan slowly got up and entered the chamber, and came out after a while, holding a small jar of sake in his hand and placing it on the table, Wang Yuan did it himself, poured himself a large cup and took a sip of it, only to feel a hot wine line from under his throat, quickly burning the blood of the whole body. After a while, my brain seemed to be flexible.

Li Xin'er asked, "Erlang had something to say just now, what are your doubts?" ”

Wang Yuan put down the wine cup and said: "According to what Twelve Niang said just now, these people all had an accident after the poetry meeting, and they lived by common sense, even if Li Linfu was angry with me and wanted to cut me off, he would never be hunted down so grandiosely, if they got me tonight, and I was not guilty, if they took my life, how could they not show a trace?" ”

Gongsun Lan pondered: "What you said is not unreasonable, look at the cause of death of these people before, if it is not caused by an accident, it is a headless public case, most of which are not directly related to Li Linfu, which shows that Li Linfu actually does not dare to be too blatant, so he should wait for the limelight of the Pear Blossom Poetry Club to pass before he starts." It has only been more than ten days since the Pear Blossom Poetry Society, and this is a bit unusual. ”

Li Xin'er said: "Li Linfu, this old thief, is ruthless, where are there any moral rules to speak of?" Master, Erlang, you are too suspicious, it is obvious that Li Linfu is targeting Erlang, you should not even suspect this. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "Words can't be said to die, as the saying goes, there is a way to steal, although a person of Li Linfu's status acts ruthlessly, there will never be such obvious flaws." He is only a powerful minister in the court, with His Majesty Shengming in the court, and there are many political enemies in the government and the opposition against him, how can he leave the handle of the grass and people's lives to be attacked? Otherwise, why would the deaths of those people before them pretend to be accidents? He can directly kill someone, and the deterrent effect on the opponent is even stronger. ”

Li Xin'er thought for a while and said, "It seems to be such a truth, but how can this be explained?" ”

Wang Yuan stood up and walked around the room quickly, his long half-dried hair fluttering behind him, and his whole person was a little nervous. Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er both looked at Wang Yuan in surprise, Li Xin'er frowned, her face was full of concern, as if she was worried about Wang Yuan's semi-crazy state at the moment.

Suddenly, Wang Yuan stopped, glared at him and sneered: "I understand, I understand, I actually forgot about this, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." ”

Gongsun Lan asked, "What do you understand?" ”

Li Xin'er saw that Wang Yuan was smiling a little crazy, and said worriedly: "Erlang, are you okay?" ”

Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and smiled: "How can anything happen to me, my mind is very sober after a glass of wine." We've all forgotten one detail, before we killed him, he said something that I don't know if you remember. ”

"What?" The master and apprentice asked in unison.

"Before he died, the man said that he was Wang Jie's subordinate, do you remember the two of you?"

"So what? Aren't Wang Jie's subordinates Li Linfu's subordinates? Wang Ji is a mad dog raised by Li Linfu, isn't it normal for Li Linfu to order him to deal with you? Li Xin'er asked.

Wang Yuan raised his index finger and swung it: "No, Wang Fei is Wang Ling, and Li Linfu is Li Linfu." Maybe when Li Linfu wants to do something bad, he will let Wang Jiao take the lead, but tonight's incident is not that Li Linfu is in a hurry to deal with me at all, this must be this Wang Jie's private action. ”

The master and apprentice asked in unison again, "How do you know?" ”

At that moment, Wang Yuan said the original thing that offended Chen Miaoer at the pear blossom poetry meeting, and finally said: "At the poetry meeting, I found that Chen Miaoer had sued me, and several times I saw Wang Jiao's eyes looking at me very viciously, but I didn't take it seriously, and now it seems that this Wang Jiao can't wait to be angry for his good looks." ”

Gongsun Lan thought about it carefully and said: "It makes sense, Wang Jie's methods are fierce, and he will repay him, and he is very arrogant in his actions under the protection of Li Linfu, if he attacks Wang Yuan for his own selfishness, it is very similar to his style of acting." As far as I know, if he were to attack a man, he would not flinch, but would act vigorously. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's it, he has the motive to do it to me, this is one of them." Second, the person he killed just now claimed to be Wang Jie's subordinate and not Li Linfu's subordinate, which is the evidence; Third, did you hear the details of what the man said, he said that the Jinwuwei Wuhou on the street only assisted in the arrest, and he did not know the identity of the person to be arrested at all, which shows that Wang Jiao used the power of the Wuhou to deal with me without Li Linfu's approval. ”

Gongsun Lan slowly stood up, with a sudden look between her eyebrows, and nodded: "Listening to what you said, I am also suddenly enlightened, so the whole thing will be logical." That Wang Ji deliberately concealed this matter from the Jinwu Guards, and that was because Li Linfu didn't plan to let Wang Ji deal with Wang Yuan now. In order to announce his personal vendetta, Wang Ji privately transferred the soldiers and horses of the Nanya, which belonged to Zhongshu and were only deployed by Li Linfu, which was in itself a violation of the law. If such an act was known by the imperial court, it would cause Li Linfu to attack, so he did not dare to make it public. ”

Wang Yuan stroked his palms and smiled: "The analysis is reasonable, and the truth must be so." ”

Gongsun Lan continued: "This can also explain why after you disappeared, the people who entered the various squares to search were only Wang Jie's men. Just now, I was a little puzzled as to why the Jinwu guards didn't come into the shop to search, but only set up a block on the outer street. Now that I think about it, Wang Ji didn't want Jin Wuwei's people to know that it was Wang Yuan who was pursuing, because once he entered the workshop to search, he had to tell his appearance and name before he could search, so he couldn't do this, because he was afraid that Jin Wuwei would report the matter to Li Linfu. ”

Wang Yuan applauded and praised: "That's right, this Wang Ji can be described as scheming, but still failed to achieve his goal, it is estimated that he is now actively mobilizing his subordinates to search in various squares, but he doesn't know that the person who really found the clue is already lying under the plum tree." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "Wang Ji is indeed scheming, if it is just an ordinary assistance in the arrest of a no-brainer, even if Li Linfu learns that he has privately mobilized Jin Wuwei to assist, I am afraid that he will just turn a blind eye." But it was very different if it was Wang Yuan who was arrested, because Li Linfu would not secretly attack Wang Yuan until the limelight passed, and Wang Jie's doing so was against Li Linfu's original intention. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and sighed: "It's interesting now, I have become the target of everyone, there was originally a Luo Yimen who wanted to kill me, and then there was another Li Linfu, and now there is another Wang Yi who is anxious to kill me, even if I have nine lives, I can't save it." It seems that I have committed Tai Sui this year, and I don't know if I can pass these three levels. ”

Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er looked at Wang Yuan, their eyes were full of pity, originally a small Fang Ding in Yong'an Fang, although his life was poor but also stable, suddenly he caused a big disaster, and he couldn't accept it on anyone, and he could still laugh because of this person.

Wang Yuan sat down, poured himself a full cup of wine, raised it and said, "Let's have a drink with me, I don't know if there is a chance to sit and drink together." ”

Li Xin'er silently poured a glass of wine to accompany Wang Yuan to have a drink, but was held down by Gongsun Lan, Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Gongsun seniors don't drink with me, don't you let Twelve Niang drink with me?" Maybe I drank it myself, and when I got drunk, I didn't have to worry about anything. ”

Gongsun Lan said quietly: "You were still arrogant just now, why are you so decadent now, are you afraid?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "I'm not afraid, but in this way, I really don't have much chance of survival." ”

Gongsun Lan said: "That's not necessarily, at the moment, except for Wang Jie, who is in a hurry to kill you, the threat of Luo Yimen and Li Linfu can be ignored." Xin'er has already said that if you agree to join Luo Yimen, the threat of Luo Yimen can be eliminated. And Li Linfu obviously wants you to live for a while, and even if he does it, it will be done in secret, and there may be a chance to avoid it if you are cautious. So the only thing you need to worry about is Wang Jie, if he tries his best to get rid of you, it will be a tricky matter. ”

Li Xin'er said: "Erlang, don't be afraid, I promised to protect you, I will definitely be by your side, and don't think about it when you wait for a few idle people." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Thank you both, but I never want to affect others, I am Tai Sui Xingzhao, but I don't want you to give up your life for me." ”

Li Xin'er hurriedly said: "I won't leave you, I swear." And the master is right, I will take responsibility for Luo Yimen's side, you don't have to worry. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "Twelve Niang, I know in my heart that Li Shizhi treats me like this, I will not be able to stay in his Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, Luo Yimen agrees to me to join, that is because I can provide information for Luo Yimen by Li Shizhi's side, once I don't have this identity, how can Luo Yimen accept me?" Besides, I don't want to join that Luo Yimen at all, so this matter is over, let them all come to me, and see who can kill me quickly. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Are you really not fighting, or are you joking?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "I have the heart but I can't do it. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "You just swore that you would give these people a good look in the future." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think I can compete with these people?" ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and said: "I don't know, but I know that things are people's reason, if you give up yourself, no one can save you." ”

Wang Yuan slowly poured two glasses of wine, pushed one of them in front of Gongsun Lan, picked up a glass of wine and said: "Gongsun seniors are going to leave Beijing tomorrow, I will borrow flowers to offer you a glass of wine here, and the lunch is to say goodbye in advance." ”

Gongsun Lan pondered for a long time and said, "I have decided to stay in the capital. ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "Aren't you leaving?" The plum garden can't live anymore, and tonight it will also involve you to kill someone, can you still stay in the capital? ”

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "If I want to stay, I can stay, and I'm fed up with those people's nonsense, I chose to turn a blind eye before, but now I want to help you." ”

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "You want to help me?" How can I help? ”

Gongsun Lan said coldly: "Xin'er swore to protect you, and Xin'er also said that she would never leave me, and the best of both worlds is that we both stay in the capital." I never say big things, but my grandson Lan has never taken those lackeys and rats seriously. Unless you have violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, with me and Xin'er by your side, who can secretly move a finger against you? ”

Wang Yuan's eyes were speechless in surprise, he didn't expect Gongsun Lan to stay by his side to protect, this was simply a great joy from heaven, originally Wang Yuan's low mood just now was not all because of the huge pressure, but also partly because he knew that Gongsun Lan was about to leave tomorrow, and when he heard this good news at this moment, his heart was almost bursting with joy.

Li Xin'er was also pleasantly surprised: "Master, do you want to face it with us?" That's great, with the master here, then you won't be afraid of anything. ”

Gongsun Lan stretched out his hand, picked up the glass of wine in front of him, covered his mouth and nose with his green sleeves and drank it up, and after putting down the wine cup, his red lips were gorgeous, and his face became a little flushed.

"All these years I have lived in seclusion here, empty of skills, but here I have wasted my time. Wang Yuan is right, in fact, I am not a born person, I can't see the suffering of the world, and I can't get used to bullying the weak. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, almost all the big cases in Chang'an City in the past few years have been committed by me, and the theft in the Anguo Mansion in Yongning Fang was committed by me, because I don't resentment An Guogong for taking advantage of his official position to exploit the craftsman's labor; The murder in the Wei Mansion in Zhaoguofang was also committed by me, and I am not angry that the six sons of the Wei Mansion forced the tenants to pay off their debts with women, and ruined the lives of the women of the good family, so I cut off the heads of the six princes. There are also cases in Xuanping, Dunhua and other workshops that I also did, so I will simply inform you today, so what? ”

Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er looked at Gongsun Lan blankly, their mouths open enough to swallow an ostrich egg.
