Chapter 174: Wooing

Princess Yang raised her hand and spread it into her arms, this action made Xiao Jiading even more frightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look.

Princess Yang slowly pulled out her hand, and there was already an extra dagger inlaid with jewels and diamonds in her hand, and handed it to Xiao Jiading: "Although this dagger is not a sharp blade that sharpens iron like clay, it is not ordinary. You are doing things for the prince outside all day long, which is quite risky, so this dagger will give you self-defense. ”

It turned out that Princess Yang was going to give something to herself, and she still wanted to be crooked, Xiao Jiading smiled secretly, hurriedly took it, and didn't dare to take it out to inspect it in front of the princess, so she hurriedly held it with both hands, bowed down and said, "Thank you, princess!" ”

"There you go! Be careful! Princess Yang said, and stretched out her slender hand like a green onion, and gently dusted off a little dust from Xiao Jiading's shoulder.

Princess Yang's action is kind and natural, without the slightest artificiality, just like a big sister caring for her younger brother. This made Xiao Jiading's heart rise a warm current, and a wish emerged in his heart: In the upcoming catastrophe, he must find ways to protect this beautiful sister!

Out of the Shu Palace, Xiao Jiading carefully inspected the dagger, and saw that the scabbard was made of gold wire, and it was inlaid with a lot of shiny jewels. Pull out the dagger and check it again, only to see the cold light, it looks very sharp, to what extent is it sharp, can it be sharpened like mud, Xiao Jiading didn't dare to really take a piece of iron to try it, this is something given by the princess, you can't mess around, if you break it, it will be troublesome. Hurry up and put the dagger in your arms.

On the way back, Xiao Jiading pondered how to kill Shao Dong. This Shao Dong killed Miss Qu, and he also deserved it. How to send him back to heaven without a trace, this has to be carefully pondered. If you want to not show traces, the best way is to borrow a knife to kill people, just like Shao Dong borrowed Xiao Soul to plant a false accusation, as long as he tells the news to the person who wants him to die the most, everything will be done. And now I want him to die the most. Of course, there are only Geng Changshi and Pan Beijia! And he and Pan Beijia are not familiar enough to tell him this kind of news, but Geng Changshi is very suitable. He already thinks of himself as his man.

After thinking about the general direction, Xiao Jiading immediately drove to Geng Changshi's mansion and said that there was an urgent matter to report.

If he had gone to see Geng Changshi before, they would still be a little apprehensive in their hearts, for fear that Tang Lin and them would be unhappy if they found out. Now it's different, with the princess's secret mission, getting close to them by yourself has become a necessary job to complete the task, and it can be carried out in a righteous and bright way. It is even necessary to do it as openly as possible, so that more people can know that they have a close relationship with Geng Changshi, so that they will not become victims of cannon fodder in the upcoming catastrophe.

Geng Changshi's porter knew that Xiao Jiading Geng Changshi was now a celebrity in front of Geng Changshi, and Geng Changshi had personally invited him to a separate banquet twice, so he didn't dare to make things difficult and reported it immediately.

Geng Changshi's concubine, Geng San's grandmother, had committed suicide in fear of sin, which made his new heart jump for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement, he gradually felt relieved. At this moment, he was sleeping with another concubine in his arms after finishing his work. Hearing that the personal maid came in and reported that Xiao Jiading asked to see him, he suddenly sobered up and quickly got up and dressed. The little concubine said don't go, but he pushed her away.

Geng Changshi came to the flower hall and saw Xiao Jiading's solemn face, which was shocked. Pulling back from the left and right, he closed the door and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"There's one thing. I think it's very important, so I came to report to Geng Changshi overnight, I'm sorry to disturb Geng Changshi's rest. ”

"It doesn't matter! My own brother, what's the matter? ”

Xiao Jiading lowered his voice and said, "When I was recording the prisoner, I was invited by Liu County Commander of Wan'an County to help them solve a case, which was the murder of the eldest lady of the Qu family and a thief named Xiao Soul who were killed in her boudoir. Through investigation and detection, the real culprit was found, and it turned out to be Shao Dong, the head of the guard of the Shu Mansion. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jiading obviously felt that Geng Changshi's whole body shook, and immediately, he understood that although this matter was assigned to Shao Dong by Pan Beijia, this Geng Changshi must have known about it, and maybe he was also one of the manipulators behind the scenes. Xiao Jiading was immediately happy that his judgment was accurate, and through him, he could let Pan Bei know about this matter, and he could achieve his goal.

Xiao Jiading continued: "I ordered them to go to the palace with Liu County to report that the prince had arrested someone, but Shao Dong simply admitted the fact that he killed Miss Qu and the thief Xiao Soul. It's just that he didn't say what he did for him. So, the prince instructed me to help Liu Xianling bring people back for interrogation, and to find out why he, the chief of the palace guard, wanted to kill people by all means. After all, this case involves people in the prince's mansion, and I want to find out the reason for the killing, I am beating a drum in my heart, for fear that it will not be handled well, I have already detained the person in the Shaocheng County Ya, we have interrogated him, and he will not say anything. It seems that he can only use heavy punishment, and he is ready to escort people to Wan'an County for interrogation tomorrow morning. Last time, brother, you said that if there is anything that is not easy to do, just come to you. So I didn't feel sure, so I came to you, and you gave me ideas to see how I could get him to talk about the people behind the scenes. ”

Xiao Jiading pretended to be a fledgling who didn't understand anything, and sincerely asked Geng Changshi for advice. This is also in line with his identity, after all, he has only been in the yamen for a few months, he is indeed a novice, and he is involved in the people of the prince's mansion, the fear is certain, Geng Changshi has invited him alone twice before, this little scribe, should have regarded him as a close person, so it is normal to really come to him when he encounters something. There is no doubt about this Geng Changshi.

This case did not reveal any tone in advance, and took people away directly from the palace, and it was taken away secretly. Many people don't know about Lu Dao, so Geng Changshi and Pan Bei really don't know the news of Lu Dao. Now after learning from Xiao Jiading's mouth, he couldn't help but be taken aback. also secretly called it a fluke in his heart, if he hadn't invited this kid to dinner in advance, wooed him, said that he would help him find a daughter-in-law, and poured ecstasy soup, he would not have taken the initiative to come to the door to talk about it. It's too late to kill Shao Dong before he says something!

Geng Changshi made up his mind and said to Xiao Jiading: "Very good, it's good that you can think of discussing with your brother when you encounter difficulties." Although the old brother may not be able to come up with any good ideas, after all, the old brother has gone through a lot of things, and it may be useful to say it. ”

Xiao Jiading was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Thank you Geng Changshi!" Geng Changshi's idea must be very good. ”

"Hey, hey!" Geng Changshi laughed dryly, "The prince has entrusted you with this important task, and that is the trust in you." So you have to think of ways to get him to speak. For men, the most fearful thing is that there is no thing between the crotches, you can start from this, and threaten to abolish him, and he may speak. This is what a friend of mine said. It is said to be very customary. You can give it a try. ”

Xiao Jiading secretly scolded in his heart, this old boy is really vicious enough, he was busy making a sudden cheerful look, and he was busy giving gifts to express his gratitude. Then take your leave and leave.

After he left, Geng Changshi immediately ordered the horses to be prepared, and rushed to Pan Beijia's mansion overnight.

After listening to Geng Changshi's words, Pan Beijia's face was gloomy, he pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Send someone to kill Shao Dong on the road, you have to do it without knowing it." ”

Geng Changshi hurriedly agreed. A little worried, he asked in a low voice: "Will Shao Dong already explain the matter?" ”

Pan Beijia thought about it, shook his head slowly, and said, "Shao Dong, I know very well that his bones are very hard, and he won't open his mouth easily. Moreover, if Shao Dong has already told me, then Li Ke will not have any movement on his side, Li Ke I also know this person very well, although there are some strategies, but it is not easy to calm down, if he knows that I instructed Shao Dong to find someone to frame him and try to accuse him of rebellion, he will definitely order me to be arrested and brought to justice. But now he doesn't, which means that this matter has not been exposed, Shao Dong resisted their forced confession, and he should not have said anything.

Geng Changshi nodded and said, "I think so too, Xiao Jiading, this stupid boy, came to me to ask me how to pry open Shao Dong's mouth, which means that Shao Dong has not yet explained." ”

Pan Beijia said: "The people we want to place next to Li Ke have all committed trouble one by one, and now, Li Ke attaches great importance to Xiao Jiading, the first talent in Yizhou, let's secretly pull him over and help us keep an eye on Li Ke." Those who should spend some blood should be willing to spend it. ”

"Yes, yes! I gave him the beauty of buying Shu horses beforehand, and as if he was so happy that I pulled down my face and invited him to drink twice. He also promised to find him a daughter-in-law. He was smiling so badly that his face was rotten. Hehe. ”

Pan Beijia said: "This is a good idea, but whose daughter are you going to give him?" ”

Geng Changshi said: "I have thought about this, and the matter of marriage must not let Tang Lin and Li Ke know about it." Therefore, it cannot be our people, at least not our people. In that case, if they are alert, they will alienate Xiao Jiading, and our plan will be in vain, so I pondered for a long time and told him the daughter of Wuzhen, the deputy of Tuobian Military Town. ”

"Which Wuzhen deputy?"

Geng Changshi involuntarily lowered his voice: "It's the Wuzhen deputy who you interceded with to protect his future." ”

Geng Changshi immediately remembered, this matter is also a coincidence, this Wuzhen deputy is the deputy of Tuobian Military Town, where Han Xiaowei is located, that is, the deputy of the town, in charge of border patrol work, is the boss of Han Xiaowei, Han Xiaowei was executed by Li Ke, the king of Shu, for the crime of treason, and his main generals and participants were also heavily punished, some were executed, and some were sentenced to exile. This deputy Wuzhen is the direct leader in charge of border patrols, and he has to assume leadership responsibility, and Fa Cao plans to sentence him to be stripped of his military post and exiled for 2,000 miles. It happened that he and one of Pan Beijia's staff members were fellow villagers, and through the contact of this staff, he spent a lot of money to bribe Pan Beijia. Pan Beijia found the Fa Cao of the Governor's Mansion who handled the case through his connections, and privately changed the relevant testimony, saying that the deputy Wuzhen had already discovered that there was a problem with this Han lieutenant, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he suggested that he be removed many times, but he did not get the attention of his superiors at that time, and finally had an accident, and he should not bear the responsibility of leadership. As a result, not only did he revoke the sentence of exile, but he also kept his official position. This deputy of Wuzhen was grateful to Pan Beijia for this. (To be continued......)
