Chapter 16 Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge

Lao Wu said with palpitations: "If it weren't for the prince's future affairs, I'm afraid we would all have to be buried together." ”

"Brother Wu is right, so if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be blessings in the future, and Brother Wu's blessings are still to come!" Zhuang Xin complimented carefully.

Yesterday I stole something and sold it, and I was caught and unlucky. It's still the chief steward who sees that I am usually competent, so I handed over the stolen goods, but I can't stay in the palace anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had no money for a meal just now. ”

Zhuang Xin was surprised: "Why were you kicked out?"

"Why, if you are kicked out, you dare to look down on me, don't you? Tell you, my old army still has connections. Lao Wu suddenly said unhappily.

"Hehe, Brother Wu is amazing, I don't know what kind of connections it is?" Zhuang Xin listened attentively, looking curious.

"Hehe, you don't know. Just today, the chief steward gave me a sum of money and told me to go out and hide first, and then let me go back when the limelight passed. ”

"Hey, although I have never been masked by that big steward, I have also heard that he has always been iron-faced and selfless, why were you kicked out by the Yongwang Mansion, and the big steward still wants to appease you so much?" Zhuang Kimchi asked strangely.

"Do you think the chief steward is really good to me? That's because I'm afraid that I'll go out and tell the secrets of the house. ”

"Oh, what's the secret?" As soon as he heard the key, Zhuang Xin couldn't help but prick up his ears.

At this time, Lao Wu realized that he was about to talk too much, and hurriedly prevaricated: "What secret? I didn't say anything, and you didn't hear anything." ”

Zhuang Xin suddenly nodded in understanding: "Understood." Brother Wu, please rest assured, I, Zhuang, will act as if I haven't heard anything. ”

After speaking, Zhuang Xin slapped his palms twice, and suddenly a guy walked in with a plate covered with a red scarf and placed it on the side table between the two.

Zhuang Xin lifted the red scarf, revealing the yellow and white things on the plate, and he said with a smile: "I can't hide it, I see Brother Wu's dignified appearance, and he will not be a thing in the pool in the future, so when we meet for the first time, I have a heart of acquaintance." ”

Zhuang Xin looked at Lao Wu's greedy eyes in his eyes, and said in a more and more demagogic tone: "Twenty taels of gold and twenty taels of silver here, I am filial to you, junior brother." ”

"How does this make me embarrassed?"

Lao Wu rubbed his hands restlessly in front of him, his eyes were shining, and he only saw the appearance of money in his eyes. He really loves money!

Zhuang Xin smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Wu, little brother, I naturally love gossip, and what you said just now, Brother Wu, has already aroused my curiosity." If Brother Wu can tell me the secret of King Yong's Mansion, satisfy my curiosity. I will have another thirty taels of gold and thirty taels of silver here. How?"

When Lao Wu heard this, he was extremely happy.

"Sure enough, I took the bait. ”

However, at this time, Lao Wu still looked tangled on the surface, and his complexion was uncertain.

And Zhuang Xin was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and patiently waited for the other party's reply.

Finally, Lao Wu patted his thigh as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay! Boss Zhuang, I can tell you. But I have to declare in advance that I am not allowed to spread it to the outside world, otherwise I will not talk about your store, even you and I will be killed. Lao Wu solemnly warned.

"Yes, yes. Brother Wu said, I keep my left ear in and right ear out, and no one else knows except you and me. I swear. Zhuang Xin swore authentically.

Lao Wu saw that the other party even dared to swear, so he believed it a little, coupled with the temptation of real money, it seemed that he really had no reason not to say it.

So he said to Zhuang Xin mysteriously: "I know that King Yong's tent mansion successfully installed an eyeliner on King Wei's mansion last year, but I don't know who it is, I only know that he is a man, and the important things in King Wei's mansion recently have been passed to King Yong's mansion through this eyeliner." ”

"Really?" Zhuang Xin said in disbelief.

"How is it fake? ”

Seeing that his words were questioned, Lao Wu couldn't help but get excited, and said: "I still remember that at the beginning of this year, King Wei planned to nominate Guo You, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the court, right? As a result, King Wei not only fell short, but even Guo You himself was stripped of his official position because of the report, and later the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites fell into the hands of King Yong's faction. ”

When Zhuang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but set off a storm in his heart, because he knew about it. Afterwards, the king of Wei also ordered the government to strictly investigate who leaked the news, but found nothing. Now listening to Lao Wuyi, it turns out that there is indeed an inner ghost in the Wei Wangfu.

By this time, Zhuang Xin had already believed in Lao Wu's news. But he still said quietly: "Is this the matter? Besides, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. ”

Lao Wu was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "Of course, the affairs of the big people have nothing to do with you ordinary people. Now that you know the secret, I'll laugh at the money. ”

Zhuang Xin smiled and said: "This is as it should be, there are another thirty taels of gold and thirty taels of silver, I will let my subordinates send them in." ”

After saying that, he clapped his palms again, this time three times.

As soon as the applause ended, a swordsman in a gray robe lifted the curtain that had been separated in the hall and walked in.

This is exactly the person the guy found in the backyard just now. He is a dead soldier raised in the Wei Palace, a monk who has already stepped into the Danyuan realm, specializing in secretly finding out news for the King of Wei and killing some people who need to be killed.

When the gray-clothed swordsman approached, Lao Wu knew that his little fate was planted.

Originally, Dongshi, as the first commercial street in the imperial capital, was very prosperous, where the three religions and nine streams flowed endlessly, and all kinds of people were readily available, and it was a veritable golden location in the imperial capital. As the largest restaurant in the East Market, Yongfu Building is the most well-informed.

And the reason why King Wei set up the silk village opposite the Yongfu Building is also because he wants to be close to the water.

Lao Wu already knew that the news sent by him like this, King Wei's eyeliner would definitely attach great importance to it, and it would soon reach King Wei's ears. The first step of the plan was successful.

It's just that I didn't expect that the price of this success would be to take my own life. Although he Lao Wu is an ordinary man, not a cultivator, but he can be sent out by the pawn army Li Ruhai to carry out the task, he naturally has two brushes in his hands, and if he forcibly breaks through, there may be a glimmer of life. It's just that in this way, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of King Wei, so the plan of King Yong's Mansion will naturally come to naught, and the consequences are self-evident.

"I know that this job is not easy to do, and the girl is unjustly killed. ”

Lao Wu sighed in his heart, but continued to play, and said in a panic: "What are you doing with your sword? You won't want to kill me, will you?" ”
