In Chang'an City tonight, there is a lot of movement.

The Ministry of Punishment sent public servants to post notices everywhere in the city;

Leading the army to guard the yamen, walking through the streets and alleys, inspecting various settlements.

Even Yin Ma Yuanju of Chang'an Mansion was awakened in his sleep, and sat in Chang'an Mansion overnight, always paying attention to the situation in Chang'an City.

Tonight, everyone was busy with one thing - Duan Zhide, the younger brother of Hubu Shangshu and Fan Guogong, and the then general of Tuyuhun Dao, was assassinated and killed in Bailan City.

As for the murderer, Tuyuhun Road has already sent back an eight-hundred-mile urgent mail, which has been transmitted to the residence of Duan Zhixuan, the secretary of the household department, to the hands of Wei Ting, the secretary of the criminal department, and to Yin Ma Yuanju of Chang'an Mansion.

Through the news from Tuyuhun's side, the murderer was basically locked on Wang Ba of the Tuyuhun Wild Wolf Army back then. It didn't take one night for the name of Wang Ba to spread in Chang'an City.

Naturally, this matter also reached the ears of His Majesty Li Er.

The assassination of General Tuyuhun was not only a blatant provocation to the imperial court, but also a slap in the face of His Majesty Li Er. Is this worth it?

His Majesty Li Er's Long Yan was furious, and ordered that now Chang'an City should start searching for Wang Ba, and tomorrow at dawn, an official document will be issued to the ten states to arrest this person.

Wang Ba is also a person, His Majesty Li Er is not impressed. But others don't know, can Guo Ye still be unclear?

Wang Ba is the pseudonym of Wang Bodang.

However, at this time, Guo Ye had already returned to Taipingfang and entered the Pingyang County Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the house, he planned to order someone to find the dark night of Dongchang overnight. However, when I thought that tomorrow, whether Duan Zhixuan or His Majesty Li Er came to me to inquire about Wang Ba, it should be after noon tomorrow. So, he put this aside for the time being, and went to the inner courtyard of the old lady, wanting to visit Xiuxiu. The confinement woman is hard, since the birth of the child, he has not taken care of Xiuxiu for a day. To say that there is no guilt in your heart is false.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he was blocked by Xiuxiu's personal maid Chunxiang.

Chunxiang said that the county lord fell asleep early, and it was not appropriate to wake up now, so he directly let Guo Ye eat a closed door.

Guo Ye was going to scold Chunxiang for a few words, but when he turned his head and thought about it, the confinement mother was tired and weak, and it was better to sleep if she was sleepy, so it was really difficult to wake up. You can't just wake her up just because you want to see Xiuxiu, right? Isn't that sick?

So he turned around and went to another room in the courtyard.

It was the house where the old lady rested, and it was also the place where his son Xiao Guo Ye stayed. The little one is now following his grandmother, and is accompanied by several old mothers and old ladies day and night.

Since the birth of this child, Guo Ye has not stayed with his son for one night, and he has not taken good care of this kid for one night. This dad is obviously unfair.

But who knows that today is not that I haven't seen the yellow calendar, but when I arrived outside the old lady's house, Guo Ye, who wanted to be an imitation of his father, was blocked back by an old mother who was guarding the door at night.

The old mother directly passed a sentence for the old lady: "The old lady has an order, the little boy sleeps soundly after eating, and he should not be disturbed." I also asked the county grandfather to come to visit the little boy another day. ”

it!

At this time, Guo Ye was completely speechless, the big one was already asleep and couldn't visit, and he didn't want to let the small one look at it.

Guo Ye, who is calling for wind and rain outside, has no status at home at all tonight. While secretly shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he had to obediently withdraw from the old lady's inner courtyard.

I was going to go to Zhenniang's Guo Ye, but when I thought that the weird stinky girl of Xiao Guo Xiang would add to the blockage of Lao Tzu again, I dispelled my mind. Turned around again and went to Kang Zhiru's place for the night.

After spending the night at Kang Zhiru's, a little toss to release the pressure of the recent busy days, and then fell asleep groggyly.

It wasn't until the next day that the rooster crowed, and he slowly woke up.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Kang Zhiru, he went to the study and asked someone to invite the dark night.

After a while, he was ordered to come in the dark night, and entered Guo Ye's study in a wheelchair under the servant's cart.

After Guo Ye ordered people to guard the martial law outside the study, he looked at the dark night with a solemn face and asked, "There was a lot of trouble in the city last night, I guess you also know what happened, right?" ”

Dark Night nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "If you don't know what happened at this time, then you are not worthy of being in charge of Dongchang, and you should go back to the countryside to farm and retire." ”

Guo Ye asked again: "Then you know who the murderer is, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Dark Night said: "There are notices everywhere in the city, others don't know who Wang Ba is, and they can't know about their humble position?" Hey? ”

Dark Night suddenly exclaimed, looked at Guo Ye with an incredulous expression, and said in surprise: "My lord, you sent someone to call you here early in the morning, could it be that Wang Bodang did this thing?" And he really absconded back to Chang'an? ”

Draw inferences from one another, and you really can't hide it from him.

Guo Ye nodded depressedly and sighed: "He poked such a big hornet's nest, alas, this time he was in trouble." ”

After listening to this, Dark Night thought for a while, shook his head helplessly and replied: "My lord, I think that killing people to pay off debts and pay off debts has been justified since ancient times. And he killed the general who was still guarding Tugu Hun Road, the current emperor's favorite minister Hubu Shangshu, and the younger brother of Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Fanguo. No matter how much you want to help him get rid of his sin, it will be difficult to reach the sky. On the contrary, it will cause endless trouble. So, lowly means ......"

"Just hand them over, huh?"

Guo Ye interrupted the dark night's words and said lightly: "Why don't I understand what you said? But let's not say that Wang Bodang was a heroic figure in the past, if he was imprisoned and beheaded like this, it would be a pity. Let's just say that my friendship with Wang Bodang, as well as the help of his wolf army when I was in Xichuan, I have to protect him and help him get out of trouble. Besides—"

Guo Ye glanced at the dark night with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There are still things here that we don't know, it's not so much that Wang Bodang killed Duan Zhide by mistake, but that someone dug a pit behind his back and took advantage of him." Behind this, if my estimation is correct, it should be a treacherous conspiracy! ”

"Huh?"

Dark Night's face changed suddenly, and he said, "It turns out that it's not as simple as it seems on the surface? My lord, can you find out who is behind the trouble? ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "At present, I don't know anything, there are clues, but they shouldn't be of much value." No, I asked someone to invite you to prepare for you to use the power of the East Factory, and prepare to help me make a secret visit. ”

"This matter is deserved!"

Dark Night said: "Please also ask the adults to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the lowly position in detail, so that the lowly position can have a direction for the East Factory to investigate." ”

Guo Ye snorted and was about to speak. Suddenly, there were a few hurried footsteps outside, mixed with angry scolding.

Hearing this, Guo Ye couldn't help frowning slightly, Nima's, didn't he explain that no one was allowed to disturb him for the time being?

He was about to yell outside the study, but he heard a guard outside: "My lord, the head of the household is still visiting, saying that he wants to see the adult in an urgent matter!" ”

Tobe Shangshu? Duan Zhixuan is here?

Guo Ye and Dark Night looked at each other as if they were at each other, and then, Guo Ye suddenly chuckled and said, "This Fan Guogong, I thought he would come to me after noon, but I didn't expect to come uninvited, and he chose it early in the morning." It seems that he is really angry and anxious! ”

With a chuckle, he patted the armrest of the wheelchair made by Dark Night, and said, "You stay in the study for the time being, and I'll lead him to the flower hall to deal with it first." ”

With that, he walked to the door of the study and pushed the door out.
