The next morning, more than 100 Xiaowu soldiers in civilian clothes quietly followed the guy in the inn under the guidance of Lei Ting, and the guy first walked north after leaving the city, then turned southeast at a fork in the road, and finally came to Xiaowangzhuang in the south of the city.

Xiaowangzhuang is a town near Yangzhou City, where thousands of families live, the market is bustling, and the streets are noisy.

The innkeeper walked around the street, and after making sure that no one was following him, he knocked on the door of a magnificent-looking house, whispered a few words to one of the servants who had opened the door, and then went into the courtyard.

The servant who opened the door looked nervous, and when he closed the door, he craned his neck to check the situation on the left and right of the street, and then carefully closed the door.

As everyone knows, several Xiaowu army sergeants in civilian clothes were around the corner of the street, and they saw the innkeeper enter the courtyard gate, and then a sergeant hurried to the outside of the town to tell Lei Ting, and the rest of the Xiaowu army sergeants kept a firm eye on the front and back doors of the house.

Lei Ting did not act rashly, so as not to alarm the people in the house, in order to find out the details of the people living in the house, she found the patriarch of the Dawangzhuang Wang clan and asked the patriarch for news.

The patriarch of the Wang clan did not dare to slack off after learning that Lei Ting was the guard beside the Marquis of Zhenwu, knowing that he was shouldering an important task, so he told the details of the family in 1510.

The owner of the house is a son of the Wang clan, who has been doing business abroad all the year round, and the family is now ruled by his wife Wu, who is nearly thirty years old, is the daughter of a salt merchant in Yangzhou City, and is very domineering at home with the power of his mother's family, and the son of the Wang family also hid out because of Wu's unreasonableness, and lived outside with a concubine, so as not to go home and be sulked by Wu.

For the domineering Wu family, the people of the Wang family have no good way, and the salt merchants are not easy to provoke, and they can only let the Wu family be powerful at home, and the people in the town will let them score three points.

However, the Wu family seems to have stopped a lot recently, and the gate does not go out of the door, and stays at home all day, which makes the town much cleaner.

After learning that the Wu family had been staying at home uncharacteristically recently, Lei Ting immediately realized that Li Yuntian's guess was correct, Wei Deguang was hiding in the Wu family nine times out of ten, otherwise how could the Wu family be closed?

Besides, the person who can make the Wu family pay so much attention has nothing but Wei Deguang at this moment, and Wu's background means that she is very likely to have something to do with and implicate Wei Deguang before.

In order not to alarm the Wu family and Wei Deguang, at the request of Lei Ting, the patriarch of the Wang family called the Wu family to discuss in his name, anyway, the affairs of the family are all decided by the Wu family, and the Wu family usually comes forward for anything in the clan.

The Wu clan did not suspect the intentions of the patriarch of the Wang clan, and after receiving the communication from the subordinates, they rushed to the patriarch, and when they entered the living room, they found that there were only the patriarch and a young and handsome man in the house, and the other Wang clansmen did not appear.

"Wu family, this official asks you, are you guilty!" Lei Ting glanced at the Wu family, although the Wu family was only thirty years old, the charm still existed, not only the figure was rich but also beautiful, a pair of eyes rolled towards her, and the eyes showed a seductive and provocative look, which made her frown and asked in a coquettish voice.

"The women don't know what the adults mean?" Wu Shi heard Lei Ting's crisp voice, and then realized that this handsome boy was a woman, and he was also from the government, so he was taken aback, a trace of panic flashed on his face, and then he pretended to look at Lei Ting calmly.

"You harbored Wei Deguang, vice president of the Salt Merchants Association, who was involved in the murder of Zhao Wenju, the deacon of the Salt Merchants Association, and according to the Ming Law, he will be convicted of the same crime and should be sentenced to death!" Lei Ting's eyes flashed with a cold look, her face turned cold, and she shouted coldly.

"Min...... Folk women don't! Wu's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he quickly denied it.

"This official has already given you a chance, since you don't know what to do, then this official can only let people come to the door to search, if you find Wei Deguang, you will not escape the death penalty." Judging from Wu's panicked reaction, Lei Ting immediately realized that Li Yuntian had guessed correctly, Wei Deguang was indeed hiding here in Wu's place, so he warned quietly.

"You...... Why do you trespass on private houses without evidence, my father knows the prefect, if you dare to mess around, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. Wu's face changed a few times, and she waited for Lei Ting to scare her away, obviously she regarded Lei Ting as an errand officer of the Yangzhou Prefect's Yamen.

"Wu family, this lord is the head of the guard of the Marquis of Zhenwu, if you really harbor the fugitives of the imperial court, summon them truthfully, otherwise the prefect will not be able to save you." Hearing this, the patriarch of the Wang clan couldn't help but open his mouth and tell the Wu family in a deep voice, after all, the Wu family is a member of the Wang family, and if he provokes something big, it will inevitably implicate the clansmen.

"Town...... Zhenwu Hou! Wu's face turned pale in an instant, she knew that Zhenwu Hou was definitely not something that the Yangzhou prefect could afford to provoke.

"Wu, this official asks you again, is Wei Deguang where are you?" Seeing this, Lei Ting asked in a deep voice, exerting psychological pressure on the Wu family.

"Gift...... Lord Yu, Wei ...... Vice President Wei is indeed in the people's woman's house, but the people ...... The women didn't know about him...... He is suspected of homicide. Wu's body trembled suddenly, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and begged Lei Ting for mercy repeatedly, "My lord forgives me, the people are wronged, and they are definitely not complicit." ”

Wu had an affair with Wei Deguang more than ten years ago, Wei Deguang was also a talent when he was young, and hooked up with Wu when he was talking about business with Wu's father, and he maintained an ambiguous relationship until Wu got married.

A few days ago, when Wei Deguang came to look for Wu under the cover of night, Wu knew that something had happened to the salt merchants, and Wei Deguang came to hide from the limelight, and he didn't know that Wei Deguang had anything to do with the killing of Zhao Wenju.

The reason why Lei Ting did not break into the Wu family's house to search with great fanfare was that she was not sure if Zhao Xinyue was there, for fear that she would hurt her, and secondly, it was also to give the Wang family face, if Wei Deguang was searched out of the Wu family's house by Xiaowujun, how could the Wang family have face?

"The official asked you, who is the person who came today?" Lei Ting saw that the Wu family had already confessed, and asked quietly.

"Your Excellency, he said that he is Vice President Wei's subordinate, and he came to tell Vice President Wei an important news this time." Wu Shi was panicked in his heart now, and he had already messed up, and replied one by one.

"Vice President Wei, can you tell me that this person will come?" Lei Ting's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Not really, Vice President Wei didn't tell him even if his family didn't tell him that he was here." Wu shook his head at Lei Ting after thinking about it.

"In that case, why did you let this man in?" Hearing this, Lei Ting couldn't help but think of what Li Yuntian said last night, it seemed that Wei Deguang was calculated by Chen Wenren, and then asked.

He said that Vice President Wei was hiding here, and the people of the people's women were worried about causing trouble, so they let him in, and after he met Vice President Wei, he whispered a few words and the two went to the secret room.

Wu wiped the sweat oozing from her forehead, and explained honestly, she realized at this time that Lei Ting was probably following the inn guy and found it.

"If you still want to keep your reputation, take this official to arrest Wei Deguang, and this official can spare you this time, otherwise don't blame this official for covering up your crimes." Lei Ting can be sure that Li Yuntian's judgment is correct, that inn guy was really arranged by Chen Wenren to frame Wei Deguang, so he said after a deep sigh.

"The wife is willing, the woman is willing." Hearing this, Wu hurriedly kowtowed to Lei Ting, and agreed in one bite, she didn't want to get involved in the killing of Zhao Wenju.

Now that the case of Zhao Wenju's murder has spread throughout Yangzhou, it can be said that women and children know about it, and the Wu family naturally knows the severity of this matter, and of course they are afraid to avoid it.

Lei Ting's approach made the patriarch of the Wang family feel very gratified, and at the same time very grateful, if Lei Ting led someone to search Wei Deguang out of the Wu family, then the face of the entire Wang family would be lost by the Wu family, and how would the people of the Wang family raise their heads on the ground in Yangzhou in the future?

Therefore, the patriarch of the Wang family fully cooperated with Lei Ting, so that Lei Ting quietly led people into the Wu family's home, and under the guidance of the Wu family, he went to a basement secretly built in the family to avoid military disasters and civil unrest.

However, to Lei Ting's surprise, when she entered the basement, she was stunned to find that Wei Deguang and the innkeeper were dead, the innkeeper inserted a short knife into Wei Deguang's heart, and he himself was poisoned to death, there were traces of a fight at the scene, and the wine on the table was found to be highly poisonous.

Judging from the situation in front of him, Wei Deguang wanted to poison the inn guy, but the innkeeper was poisoned and killed him with a blow, and in the end, both sides lost.

What is especially important is that Zhao Xinyue's sachet was found in a box in the secret room, which invisibly pointed the finger at Wei Deguang for kidnapping Zhao Xinyue.

"What a vicious strategy!" Lei Ting looked at the sachet in her hand, and said secretly in her heart, she didn't expect Chen Wenren's mind to be so ruthless, in order to frame Wei Deguang, he actually killed people, so that the charge of kidnapping Zhao Xinyue fell on Wei Deguang, and Wei Deguang could not clear the charge of instructing someone to kill Zhao Wenju.

After Wei Deguang's body was transported back to Yangzhou City, it immediately caused a shock in Yangzhou's business circles, and no one thought that Wei Deguang would die, and he was also involved in Zhao Xinyue's kidnapping case.

Those people with lively minds immediately realized that there was something in this matter, how could Wei Deguang's courage dare to kidnap Zhao Xinyue? Otherwise, he would not have fled to find a place to hide, and nine times out of ten he would have been thrown out as a scapegoat by the two Huai Salt Roads.

Wei Deguang's death dealt a heavy blow to the salt merchants of the Salt Merchants Association, the so-called rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the lips and teeth were cold, they no longer had the joy and excitement of last night, and they acted in a low-key manner in trepidation: even the vice president of the Salt Merchants Association had been eliminated, and they were not sure that they would die at any time.

Li Yuntian saw Wei Deguang's corpse in the yamen of Lianghuai Salt Road, Wei Deguang's eyes widened, and his face was shocked, as if he didn't expect that he would be killed, and he looked like he was dead.

Seeing this situation, Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head slightly, don't look at Wei Deguang's glamorous and prominent in front of people, in fact, he is just a chess piece in the two Huaiyan Dao, Chen Wenren wants to get rid of him whenever he wants, but he is just an ant.

Chen Wenren and Zhang Sheng, who were standing behind Li Yuntian, showed a smug look on their faces, now that Wei Deguang is dead, the rest is Hua Wu who is hiding, as long as he is removed again, then Li Yuntian has no need to stay in Yangzhou, and he should return to the capital to report to Emperor Xuande.
