Chapter 26: Miscalculation
"I'm sorry, there's a death lawsuit, so let's come with us."
A short and stout colonel in the Luo stroke said with a thumbs up, his name is Liu Wei, he is the deputy envoy of the northwest street patrol of Jingzhao Mansion, without waiting for Mu Lanqing and others to speak, seeing that everyone did not respond, he turned his head away, and all the Luo soldiers swarmed Mu Lanqing, Zhang Yingying and others around.
"Stop."
With a broken drink, dozens of armor soldiers rushed out from both ends of the street, surrounded the Luo soldiers, this is the guard of the Yingwang Mansion, the head of the guard, the pawn Xue Mosheng came with a knife, and asked Liu Wei from a distance: "Do you know what place this is?" Liu Wei nodded and smiled: "I'm sorry, General Xue, it's a matter of human life, and the subordinate has to handle it according to the law." β
Liu Wei's tough attitude made Xue Mosheng feel both surprised and fresh, but also extremely unhappy, the sixteen mansions are inhabited by the princes and grandsons, and each mansion has a different number of guards, and any major case in the palace will be handled by the guards, and over time, any changes in the sixteen mansions will also be handled by the guards of the palaces, and the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion have never dared to come here.
Liu Wei waved his hand: "Take people away." β
Xue Mosheng didn't say anything, the guards didn't give an inch, Liu Wei was forced to stop, and said fiercely: "The duty is related, please General Xue don't be embarrassed." β
Xue Mosheng sneered and didn't say a word, his eyes froze there opposite each other,
Wang Chun trotted out of the mansion all the way, beckoned to Xue Mosheng, and whispered a few times in his ear, Xue Mosheng was startled at first, looked at Zhang Yingying and others, waved his hand, and the guards immediately took the guy and retreated.
Liu Wei stepped forward to thank Wang Chun, Wang Chun looked at him with a smile, pointed at Zhang Yingying and said, "This is the goddaughter of our family, the last trace of blood of Lord Zhang Huchen." He pointed at Mu Lanqing and said: "This is the godbrother of our goddaughter, and this adult will take care of him." β
Liu Wei said flatteringly: "I don't know, the manager doesn't know, we just caught a few sneaky people outside Yongjiafang, the first trial, it turned out to be a few singles in the city who specialize in defrauding people of money, and one of them confessed that he had just seen these people, so he wanted to ask a few people to go back and identify them, and he had no other intentions." β
Wang Chun pointed to the corpses of the two assassins and asked suspiciously, "Who are these two people?" β
Liu Wei replied with a smile: "Intercepting and looting property is a damned person." β
Wang Chun said: "It has nothing to do with my warbler." β
Liu Wei shook his head like a rattle: "The little ones are all witnesses, and they have nothing to do with the young lady, and they have nothing to do with a few people." β
Wang Chun laughed, turned to Zhang Yingying and said, "If there is a life lawsuit, you can go with a few officials." Zhang Yingying pretended to be panicked, and said with a bitter face: "My daughter is scared, godfather save me." Wang Chun said: "Silly boy, Jingzhao Mansion is the most reasonable place in the world, you just have to go, they won't embarrass you, godfather will send a car to pick you up." β
With this layer of assurance, Zhang Yingying reluctantly followed Liu Wei and his party, in fact, she was not afraid at all, and she had already seen that this was a deliberate situation behind her back.
β¦β¦
Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Tang Chun is Wu Chen's proud protΓ©gΓ©, because of this relationship, no one in Jingzhao Mansion does not let him score three points, but Tang Chun is not the kind of villain who gets carried away, his officials are stable, respect his superiors, unite colleagues, care for his subordinates, and his popularity in Jingzhao Mansion is quite good.
But a recent incident made him quite a headache, his mentor suddenly sent someone to send a warrant, asking him to help arrest a few people, Jingzhao Mansion is responsible for the security of the capital, thousands of soldiers, all over every corner of Chang'an City, when the judge hall encounters that it is inconvenient for him to come forward to arrest people, he often asks Jingzhao Mansion to come forward to do the work, but this time the identity of these people is a little special:
Mu Lanqing, the new Tiande Army stationed in Shangdu Jinju Academy from the eighth grade Cheng Ying Lang, a famous and tasteful court official, he is a close confidant of Yang Hao, a tyrant in the north, what kind of person Yang Hao is, Tang Chun also knows a little bit about him, although he doesn't need to be afraid of him, but he can't offend him,
Zhang Yingying, the goddaughter of Wang Chun, the chief manager of Yingwangfu, Wang Chun was originally a favored eunuch in front of the saint, and now he is also smooth sailing in Yingwangfu, how can this kind of person be offended?
Wu Zimei, the head of the Yingwang Mansion Music Class, her younger sister Wang Fu'er is deeply favored by King Ying, King Ying's previous trips have only taken one person, that is Wang Fu'er, offending Wu Zimei is offending Wang Fu'er, offending Wang Fu'er will offend Yingwang Li Yan, and a prince of the dynasty can't get along, can there be good fruit to eat,
And this place of arresting people is also worrying, the sixteenth house, what is the difference between arresting people there and arresting people at the gate of the palace, a little carelessness is a disaster, but the teacher's explanation, Tang Chun did not dare to disobey, without the support of the teacher, there would be no today, without the teacher in the back, he would not be able to stand in Jingzhao Mansion, and he had to fight hard,
Thankfully, Liu Wei, the deputy envoy of the street patrol, brought everyone here, Tang Chunxing was about to invite his mentor Wu Chen, but Wu Chen came by himself, Tang Chunxing asked angrily: "Teacher, the student has been arranged, and these three people can be interrogated overnight tonight." β
Wu Chen shook his hand and said, "No, Niankong, you misunderstood what I meant, these people are not guilty at all, and there is no need for interrogation." β
Tang Chun was stunned and said, "That master arrested them, could it be that he had other plans?" β
Wu Chen didn't answer, he asked Tang Chun to call Liu Wei in, Liu Wei made a great contribution this time, Tang Chun was excited to promote him from the deputy envoy to the main envoy, heard the summoning Liu Wei rushed over, Wu Chen saw that he liked it in his heart, and asked: "When you arrest people, what is the movement on King Ying's side." β
Liu Wei replied truthfully: "Xue Mosheng of the Dianjun was quite unhappy with us entering the Sixteenth Mansion to arrest people, he led people to surround us and prevent us from taking people away, and then Wang Chun came out to relieve the siege, and the little girl named Zhang Yingying refused to come here, it was Wang Chun who asked her to come, Wang Chun said that there were needles hidden in the cotton, and it seems that His Royal Highness King Yingwang is quite dissatisfied with this matter." β
Wu Chen nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Liu Wei and said to Tang Chun: "That's a good thing, this is a talent, you have to reuse it." Tang Chun answered, Liu Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and Wu Chen instructed Liu Wei: "You go out to watch, and when you see Wang Chun picking up his daughter's car, come in and report to me." He also explained: "Say hello outside, and be polite to a few guests." Liu Wei withdrew,
Tang Chun cautiously asked Wu Chen: "The student is stupid, I don't know what the intention of the teacher's move is.
Wu Chen shook his head and said slowly: "I don't have any real intentions, just test each other's depths, that's all, that's all." Tang Chun saw that he refused to say, so he didn't ask anymore, although he was his proud protΓ©gΓ©, but there were some things that Wu Chen didn't have to tell him, at dusk today, there was an eyeliner secret report that someone in the Yingwang Mansion had entered the mansion of Lu Qi, the general of the Shence Left Army,
Thinking that Lu Qi was about to leave Beijing to carry out a secret mission, Wu Chen's heart could no longer calm down, he instinctively thought that these two women were spies sent by Li Yan to spy on intelligence, if other people caught them, they would be killed, but when it came to Li Yan, the simple ones became complicated and difficult to handle, Wu Chen thought about it and decided to make preparations with both hands,
On the one hand, he sent assassins to assassinate Zhang Yingying and Woodsmei; On the other hand, he asked Tang Chun to intervene to ensure that after the assassination failed, the assassin or the body of the assassin would be retrieved in the name of Jingzhao Mansion, so as not to fall into the mouth.
Zhang Yingying went back to the house to get the money, and then went back to redeem people, and every move was under the supervision of the secret agents of the Judgment Hall, but Mu Lanqing, who was killed halfway, disrupted all the plans, but also because of his appearance, the suspicion shrouded in Wu Chen's heart suddenly disappeared, Wu Chen concluded that Zhang Yingying and Wu Zimei went to Lu Qi's mansion not in advance, otherwise there should not be Mu Lanqing in the middle, if the inference is true, then they should not get anything valuable,
In other words, Zhang Yingying and Wu Zimei are not spies of the Yingwang Mansion, their visit to the Lu Qi Mansion is purely accidental, take a step back and say, even if these two people really know the truth by accident, it is not a worry, because they are not people in the circle, and they don't know the doorways of the circle.
However, at the last moment, Wu Chen still decided to implement the plan unchanged, because there was no room for any mistakes in this matter, but unfortunately the assassin assassination failed, Liu Wei killed one of them to kill him, and brought people back to Jingzhao Mansion under the pretext, which was originally a defeat, but Wu Chen quickly found the key point to turn defeat into victory, he judged the true identity of Zhang and Wu by observing the reaction of Yingwangfu to this matter, and then assessed whether to risk getting rid of these two people,
Judging from all the circumstances obtained, it can basically be ruled out that the two are spies, if they are not spies, and they are not people in the circle, then they are harmless, and there is no need for them to take the risk of killing people and artificially intensifying the contradictions.
"My lord, Wang Chun's carriage is here." Liu Wei stood at the door and whispered,
"Oh, Niankong, let them go." Wu Chen retracted his thoughts and made up his mind,
Tang Chun waved his hand to Liu Wei to release them, and then asked Wu Chen very puzzled: "Just let them go, isn't it too cheap for them." β
Wu Chen snorted, raised his eyelids and said, "I already know everything I want to know, when it's time to let go, let it go." β
Tang Chun blinked and blinked his eyes, but he couldn't understand the meaning of Wu Chen's words,
Wang Chun came to pick up Zhang Yingying in person, accompanied by more than 20 palace guards, Wang Chun called Mu Lanqing and Zhang Yingying into the carriage together, and asked the two: "Do you know why you were arrested here?" β
Zhang Yingying shook her head blankly, and Mu Lanqing muttered: "It seems that someone is deliberately planning this situation behind the scenes, and the whole thing is premeditated." β
Wang Chun grinned and said: "No wonder Lord Yang values you so much, it is really a good insight, this is indeed a bureau set up by someone, but this bureau is not for you, but for Yingying." Speaking of this, Wang Chun raised his face and asked Zhang Yingying: "You tell me the truth, what do you know in the Luqi Mansion that you shouldn't know?" β
Zhang Yingying thought for a moment and replied, "I only know that Lu Qi is going to leave Chang'an for Taiyuan, and I know so much. β
Wang Chun and Mu Lanqing exclaimed in unison: "Is it true?" β
