Chapter 651: Wu Meiniang's Idea

Indeed, just as Ouyang Li thought, Wu Meiniang had nothing to lose, she didn't have anything in the first place, so those people in black broke into her house and didn't take anything.

But what are Qianniu preparing for, one of their main responsibilities is to help the emperor copy the minister's house. Specialized search for the ministers' letters hidden in the shadows, and some important things that could not be seen in the light. Therefore, what is valuable and what is not valuable in Wu Meiniang's house, they can distinguish it at a glance!

After Wu Meiniang's letter was written, she revised it several times, and the previous one was destroyed after it was written, leaving only the latest one, but she never had a chance to send this letter, so she kept it. She went to live in Huang Xiaoya's house, and she would not bring the letter with her, so as not to be accidentally seen by Huang Xiaoya, so she stayed in her own room.

But I never expected that those people in black didn't arrest her, but searched the letter like a house, which was really unexpected! Although she is a very cautious person, this accident was still not expected, it was really unexpected.

Ouyang Li asked her if she had lost something, she really couldn't say it, although she couldn't be blamed for this, the tiger still had a nap, let alone her, but she couldn't forgive herself, she blamed herself so much, she was embarrassed to admit it.

Ouyang Li saw that her face was abnormal, and asked again: "Really didn't lose anything?" Your face is ugly, but you are not feeling well, do you need me to go to the master and show you? ”

Wu Meiniang still shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I tossed hard at night, I'm too tired, just take a rest." ”

Ouyang Li sighed, then turned around and walked out of the house, but thought in his heart: "Seeing that her expression is abnormal, it doesn't look like she is fine, could it be that there is something wrong that she can't say?" I'll have to report to the master. He went to the flower hall again, waited outside the door, as long as the people in the hall dispersed, he was ready to talk to Wang Ping'an.

After packing up the things in the house, Wu Meiniang sent Huang Xiaoya back, things are like this, it is estimated that those people in black will not come again, even if they come, it doesn't matter, the guards must be prepared, and it is impossible for people to break in again.

Wu Meiniang lay on the bed, carefully recalling, if the letter was lost, would it be exposed. She was very cautious when writing the letter, and did not reveal the specific name and surname, let alone the identity, outsiders reading the letter, it is very likely that she will think of her as a businessman's wife, her husband is away from home, she reports to her husband that he is safe, it is impossible to think of the prince.

But then again, her identity is so special that it is already suspicious, so the person who gets the letter is afraid that he will make a big fuss about it, and the consequences are unpredictable. She couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, just thinking about countermeasures, but she couldn't think of anything, and she didn't know how to deal with the aftermath.

In the flower hall, Wang Ping'an had already appeased the four assassins. The assassins are all shrewd, and they can't be fooled by other reasons, so they can only start from the drawings.

Wang Ping'an said: "Don't hide it from your lords, there are assassins in my house...... It can't be said that they are assassins, they don't want to kill anyone, because this is not the first time, and there have never been casualties. The cause of the thieves was most likely the watermill drawings, which I gave to the carpenter for safekeeping......"

There are nothing else in the history of the thorn, but the history of the Lanzhou thorn is in a hurry, and he shouted: "What, you handed over the drawings to a carpenter for safekeeping?" Prince, how can you be so confused, such an important thing should be kept by yourself, how can it be handed over to a carpenter! "He cares most about the waterwheel, so he reacts the most!

The other assassins glared at him together, did you talk to Wang Ping'an like this, didn't he finish his words yet, why are you in a hurry!

Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, what Lord Lan said is that I didn't do this properly. One night, the carpenter made a thief, and a large group of people broke into the village, and turned the carpenter's house upside down, and even the bed was demolished, but the drawings were not stolen, and there were many dogs in the village, and they were in the way, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Huizhou Assassin asked: "Then the drawings are now placed in the mansion, so the thieves were recruited?" ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said: "It should be so, I guess it may be someone sent by Fanbang, we are not too far from the Saiwai grassland here, it is very likely that the Turks got the news, so they sent someone to rob it." ”

The Thorns glanced at each other, and felt that they had guessed the matter on the heads of the Turks, as if they had not guessed the right place, the Turks did not farm, they made a living from grazing, and it was of little use for people to ask for waterwheels, firstly, there was a lack of skilled craftsmen, and they could not build this kind of waterwheel, and secondly, even if they made waterwheels, what was the use, could it be used to water the grassland?

But they don't want to ask anything, anyway, for them, as long as the drawings are not lost. said a few more words, comforted Wang Ping'an, told him not to worry, as long as there was no loss, send people to investigate, arrest a group of suspicious characters, interrogate well, and almost solve the case. After comforting, the assassins went back to their rooms to rest, they ran a long way, and tossed for most of the night, they were already too tired to work, and they didn't have the energy to accompany Wang Ping'an to guess the east and west.

Seeing that the flower hall was quiet, Ouyang Li walked in and told him what had just happened. Wang Ping'an felt even more headache when he heard this, this Li Ke made the matter bigger and bigger, and even used the Qianniu preparation of the body, which was inevitably too big.

Ouyang Li said that the news leaked again, but somehow, it turned out to be the Wu Wangfu that sent the news by the post station, this is really unexpected, and Wu Meiniang looked in a trance, I don't know what happened to her.

Wang Ping'an listened, stood up, and said: "You go to check the matter of the post station and see how the news was spread, so many people know about it." As for...... I personally went to inquire about her affairs, and her affairs must not be delayed, as long as there is something, I must deal with it immediately. ”

He left the flower hall and went to Wu Meiniang's small courtyard, and saw that the lights in the courtyard were all off, and Wu Meiniang and Huang Xiaoya both slept. He stood outside the door for a while, feeling that these things had happened tonight, no matter what happened to him, he had to show his concern as soon as possible, even if Wu Meiniang fell asleep, he had to go in to comfort her, after all, he didn't completely protect her.

Push the courtyard door, there is no latch, of course, even if it is on it, it is useless, only to prevent gentlemen, not villains, and none of the people who rushed in to grab people and grab things are gentlemen. He entered the courtyard, came to Wu Meiniang's door, knocked lightly, and said, "Yang Chunhua, are you sleeping?" The voice was very soft, for fear of waking up Huang Xiaoya next door.

There was an immediate sound in the house, and it seemed that Wu Meiniang had not fallen asleep, and immediately reacted when she heard the sound. The wooden bed only rang twice, and there was a sound of footsteps, the door latch sounded softly, and Wu Meiniang opened the door.

The door opened, and Wang Ping'an saw that Wu Meiniang was dressed neatly, only her hair was a little messy, and she knew in her heart that she was lying down in her clothes, ready to get up at any time, and was probably afraid that someone would attack again, so she was always ready to escape.

Wang Ping'an looked at the room next to him, and saw that there was no movement in Huang Xiaoya's room, so he flashed into Wu Meiniang's house, and Wu Meiniang immediately closed the door.

There was no light in the house, so Wang Ping'an stood in the middle of the ground in the dark, and he said: "Mei Niang, you sit, don't care about any etiquette, just sit." ”

Wu Meiniang hummed, sat on the chair, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, are you here to comfort Meiniang?" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said: "Comfort is one thing, the most important thing is that I am here to hear what you think, I am busy with the affairs of Gyeongju these days, and I have neglected you a little, and I am very sorry in my heart." During this time, there were constantly spies from Chang'an to inquire about your news, and as far as I know, they were all sent by Li Ke, the king of Wu. ”

Wu Meiniang said softly: "About this, Meiniang already knows. ”

Wang Ping'an said: "It's good if you know it in your heart." King Wu has already sent a thousand cattle to prepare himself, indicating that he is going to let go of the big fight, and I must explain this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to avoid accidents. Do you have any good ideas, for example, in terms of strengthening defense? ”

Wu Meiniang was silent for a while, if you want to talk about security, she really doesn't have any good suggestions, she is now more straightforward, she is just a little woman under the fence, she doesn't have half of the power, if she is in power, whoever dares to let her die, she will let whoever dies first, but the key is that she doesn't have this power now!

After thinking for a while, Wu Meiniang said: "Uncle, let's sit and wait for him, it's better to take the initiative." There are a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, if King Wu always comes to find fault, it is not a problem, it is better for us to find his fault! ”

Wang Ping'an heaved and said, "If you want to find his stubble, it's not easy, you can only find it by the prince, or...... Or he himself shows his feet! ”

He originally wanted to say that the eldest grandson Wuji would find it, but if it was really the eldest grandson Wuji's shot, then Li Ke's life would be in danger and he would have to die several years earlier than in history.

Wu Meiniang didn't hear his voice, and said: "Uncle, although Meiniang stays at home, Huang Xiaoya wanders around outside all day long, and hears a lot of things, and by the way, I also heard it." Uncle's invention of the waterwheel should be important, right, and that drawing is also important? ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said: "Of course it is important, it is not only related to the lives of the people of Gyeongju, but also related to the increase of income of the imperial court, and that kind of waterwheel is quite important." ”

Wu Meiniang said again: "If my uncle doesn't mind, I might as well give some of the credit for the design of the waterwheel to King Wu." ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, he thought he was an official, and he knew about it, but with a person like Wu Meiniang who was naturally sensitive to intrigue, he still sighed to himself, but he didn't understand it for a while.

Wu Meiniang paused slightly, and then said: "Uncle can write a letter to King Wu first, and attach the drawings of the waterwheel, the letter said more humbly, expressing his willingness to share the credit with King Wu, about this, I think King Wu can't not agree!" ”

Wang Ping'an heaved and said: "In fact, it means that I am soft, how can he not agree, and it is impossible not to agree to whoever is changed!" ”

Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "Uncle can write a letter to the crown prince and tell him about the matter, and then when King Wu asks the emperor for credit, he will vigorously praise King Wu, and suggest that King Wu preside over the popularization of the waterwheel, let him come to Gyeongju and personally preside over the related matters of the canal and the waterwheel, if it succeeds, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people!" ”

Wang Ping'an sizzled, he understood, this is to transfer Li Ke out of Chang'an, Wang Ping'an's backer is in the East Palace and Shangshu Province, but Li Ke's backer is in the palace, he has Concubine Yang's mother in the palace, even if there is trouble, he will settle it as soon as possible, but if he leaves Beijing, it will be difficult to say.

Wu Meiniang said: "King Wu is in Chang'an, if something happens to Qingzhou, he can clear up the relationship, but if he also arrives in Qingzhou, in the future, Meiniang will be safe, and no one will come to the door again!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed in his heart, no wonder people can be empresses, not only can she play palace fighting, but she is also proficient in the doorway of the court! I can't think of this kind of trick by myself, and even if I think of it, I don't dare to implement it, this is a dangerous move!

Who knows, Wu Meiniang's words were not finished. She added: "The canal repair in Gyeongju can be completed this year, but the popularization of waterwheels can not be completed in one day, one year, two years, three years, and even four years and five years." When King Wu came to Gyeongju, he actually replaced his uncle's position, and he became the presiding person, and before the matter was completed, his uncle was no longer the presiding person, and he could return to Beijing. But King Wu wanted to return to Beijing...... Presumably the prince won't agree, and the emperor may not agree! ”

A cool breath rushed up from the back of Wang Ping'an's backbone, this is a typical fishing, it is to boil Li Ke in soup.

As long as Li Ke dares to take the credit of the waterwheel in his arms, he will no longer say anything about the future, he will have to be ground to death in Gyeongju, even if the Gyeongju waterwheel is popular, other states and counties can also grind him to death. He left Chang'an, and if he wanted to go back, it would be too difficult, even if Li Zhi was a vegetarian, the eldest grandson Wuji would not be!

Wang Ping'an was silent for a long time, and Wu Meiniang didn't speak. For a long time, Wang Ping'an didn't make a decision, whether he should treat Li Ke like this.

Wu Meiniang saw his hesitation and whispered: "If my uncle has another way, then it can be done without this, I am afraid that King Wu will send people in batches, and one day we will have an accident!" ”

She is using us, not me, to tell Wang Ping'an, if something happens to me, you will have to have something, your family will have something to do, we are grasshoppers on a rope, we can't run away from me, and we can't escape from you!

When Wang Ping'an heard this, he sighed heavily, thinking: "Originally, I didn't plan to do anything to Li Ke, but he forced me to be cornered, and I really have no choice!" ”

He nodded and made up his mind, and said, "Then according to what Mei Niang said, I'll write a letter and plan it in detail!" So saying, he was going out.

Wu Meiniang suddenly said: "Uncle, I have a letter that fell into the hands of those men in black, and it was addressed to the prince. ”

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, his legs were almost weak, and he said: "Can you have a payment, maybe you can see the relationship between you and the prince from the letter?" ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "No, I can't see anything from the letter, I just told my uncle about this, you don't have to worry, King Wu can't do anything with that letter!" ”

After a pause, she said again, "But, uncle, you may be a little troublesome!" ”
