Chapter 8: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone (4)
The expression on Cui Hao's face changed several times, and he glanced at Cai Bian and then at Xiaoyao Villa, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
She Yi (Jia Yi) has not been in Luoyang City for a long time, but the real power makes people's hearts palpitate, Cui Hao knows it in his heart. The previous Zhizhou of Luoyang City was Fan Zhizhou, who had been running Luoyang for many years, but was demoted to an official position because of the involvement of King Rong's incident. But it is said that before Fan Zhizhou left, he handed over all his forces to Jia Yi.
He had only been in Luoyang City for a few months, and what happened to the Hongchen Inn made him also puzzled. More than fifty or sixty percent of the residents of Luoyang City have eaten the potatoes of this Hongchen Inn, and there has been no accident for more than a year. This time, he inexplicably poisoned the diners. After testing, it was found that there was no poison in the meal, and the element that poisoned the diners was the potato.
You know, the governments of these dynasties and generations have strict control over grain, including vegetables. The potatoes used by She Yi in the Hongchen Inn have not been officially certified, and they are still taboo crops in the north. Under normal circumstances, if there is no accident, the government will not pursue it, after all, in these years, countless hungry people have died of famine.
But once something happens, if someone is still held accountable and investigated, this is a big crime...... If it is light, it will be filled with troops, and if it is heavy, it will be beheaded.
Now that something happened to this potato, he was caught by a high-ranking official in Bianjing (Cai You) with a pigtail...... Jia Yi (She Yi) is in trouble......
However, Cui Hao still believes that Jia Yi (She Yi) can carry it, after all, the strength is there...... Huizong's favor for Jia Yi (She Yi) is also there...... No matter how bad it is, she also has the prestige of the red lady. If you want to move Jia Yi (She Yi), you can't just say that you can move, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse......
"Cui Zhizhou, look, it's your people who went in? Or will my people go in? ”
Cai Bian stretched out his hand and brushed the goat's whisker and said meaningfully. Cai Bian has something to say in this, the officers and soldiers of Xing Zhu's head belt belong to Cui Haoguan, but the ones led by Cai Bian belong to the forbidden army.
"This ......"
Cui Hao hesitated, if his people didn't go in, Cai Bian would bind him to Jia Yi (She Yi) in the same boat, and when Jia Yi (She Yi) had an accident, he couldn't escape the relationship.
Cai Bian asked this, meaning to let Cui Hao stand in line......
He secretly cursed Cai Bian in his heart, and muttered in his heart, it is obviously a partisan dispute between you Beijing officials, but now you want to pull him, an innocent local official, in.
While thinking, his eyes spun in a circle. I already have an idea in my heart, and I want him to stand in line, so he is not so stupid...... Who knows if Jia Yi (She Yi) has any back-ups. Now let's do Tai Chi first and get a deeper understanding of the situation.
Cui Zhizhou...... Do you know that the taro boy in the Red Dust Inn is related to tens of thousands of people in Luoyang City, and it can cost a few lives at best, and the consequences will be unimaginable...... That's a big deal...... Could it be that Cui Zhizhou has anything to do with this suspect Jia Yi? ”
"Heh, Lord Cai, you misunderstood what Xia Guan meant...... Xia Guan led his subordinates into this villa to find Jia Yi (She Yi), the owner of the Red Dust Inn. ”
"Okay, Master Cui is worthy of being the parent official of this city, taking the lead, which is admirable, and the old man is waiting for good news."
Cai Bian said with a smile. The corners of Cui Hao's mouth twitched...... muttered in his heart that Cai Bian, the old fox, is really a virtue with his brother Cai Jing!
Xing Zhutou next to him was shocked, he didn't expect Cui Hao to enter the villa in person. This courage is full.
"My lord, do you really want to go into the villa? In fact, if a suspect is arrested, you can force your way in with just one order...... That Jia Yi is not in the villa, what is inside is just a group of subordinates and a few female streamers, how can they make big waves. ”
Xing Zhutou proposed.
"What? Jia Yi is not in the villa? ”
Cui Hao was stunned for a moment, a little surprised...... Cai Bian glared coldly at Xing Zhutou.
"Your Excellency...... Humble duty is...... It's a guess......"
Xing Zhutou hurriedly said.
Cui Hao was silent for a moment, as if he had guessed what was going on (the news of the accident at the Hongchen Inn leaked out as soon as the accident happened, this is normal, Cai You and Jia Yi are rivals, they all know that Luoyang is very close to Bianjing, and if the flying pigeon sends a message, it can transmit a round of information in half an hour...... Therefore, it is normal for Cai Bian to lead troops to participate......
"Xing Zhutou, you have been here for a short time, and there are some things you don't understand, even if Jia Yi is not in the villa, even if we bring twice as many troops, we may not be able to break through this villa, understand! Forget it, you stay here, and the official can go in alone. ”
Cui Hao sneered and walked straight towards the east gate.
"My lord, how does this make ......?"
Xing Zhutou hurriedly followed, and Cui Hao raised his arm to stop Xing Zhutou.
"It's okay to wait outside, or I'm afraid you won't be able to get in or out......"
After Cui Hao finished speaking, he strode forward. Xing Zhutou's face was blue and white...... It is extremely embarrassing, although he is a person sent by Cai You, his job is to catch heads, and he should be Cui Hao's younger brother, but ...... Cui Hao didn't approve of him as a little brother. This group of officials also did not approve of him as a headhunter.
……
Cui Hao walked to the east gate alone and shouted. With a squeak, the door opened, and the two family members walked out and took Cui Hao in. Then there was a creak, and the door closed again.
In the courtyard, Yue Mochou and Yue Shan'er entered the inner courtyard, leaving only An Yixue, ready to command this group of junior brothers to beat these officers and soldiers to cry wolf. Unexpectedly, seeing that Cui Hao was about to come in, he asked the family to let Cui Hao in.
Cui Hao walked over to An Yixue and saluted first...... An Yixue, as Jia Yi's (She Yi)'s left shoulder and right arm, has an outstanding status. It is said that it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and if Cui Zhizhou wants to live well in Luoyang City, he naturally has to please Jia Yi (She Yi).
An Yixue returned a salute.
The two don't beat around the bush and go straight to the point. Cui Zhizhou explained his intention and asked Jia Yi (She Yi) if he was in the villa, An Yixue pondered for a moment and shook her head. Cui Zhizhou has already understood...... This Cai Bian really took advantage of Jia Yi (She Yi) not in the villa to fall into the well.
An Yixue could already see Ni Duan from the expression on Cui Zhizhou's face...... This series of things is really related. She is now starting to worry about She Yi.
Cui Hao told him the seriousness of this matter, and suggested that An Yixue go back to the state capital with him to assist in the investigation of the potato poisoning case of Hongchen Inn. Of course, Cui Hao will guarantee An Yixue's personal safety.
An Yixue thought about it seriously. Originally, she planned to come forward to deal with this matter. But there were so many officers and soldiers directly outside the Hongchen Inn, and the momentum was huge...... She didn't want to go out and be captured like a prisoner by these officers and soldiers. Now that Cui Hao guarantees her personal safety, she has no worries.
The matter of the Red Dust Inn, she should also find a way to solve it. (To be continued.) )
