Study A, Su Wei quietly listened to Han Shouzhong's account of the case, he was not surprised, but his eyes showed a hint of fear, Yang Yuanqing had the evidence of Wang Xu's fornication with the Tang Dynasty at least ten months ago last year, but he held back, until today, the depth of the city made him feel a chill.

Su Wei walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, sighed lowly, and said to himself, "He is not like Emperor Wu, he is more scheming of Emperor Wen, which is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

Su Wei slowly sat down again, looked at Han Shou and said, "From how the King of Chu dealt with Wang Su, you know how you should start." ”

The king of Chu did not dismiss Wang Su from office, but demoted him to Sima of Boling County, Han Shouzhong also considered this, and he asked cautiously: "Can this be understood that the king of Chu does not want to startle the snake?" ”

Su Wei shook his head, "You can't understand it like this, you have to understand what is the fundamental purpose of His Royal Highness the King of Chu to deal with the Wang family?" It is not to eliminate the Wang family, but to press the Wang family with a "wings watermark", and to press them from a strong family to a weak family, so Wang Su was demoted instead of dismissed. ”

"I understand, thank you Xiangguo for your guidance, in addition, the Anjin Temple-King of Chu has ordered me to stop the investigation, I regret this matter, and it finally became an unsolved case."

Su Wei laughed, "That case has not stopped, the internal guards are secretly investigating this matter, but you don't know, I guess they have already found out." ”

Han Shouzhong was stunned, the internal guard was also investigating this case, and he didn't even know anything.

Su Wei looked at him and said earnestly, "The assassination case is not important, the important thing is the case of the Wang family, the adjustment of Ziwei Pavilion will start at the beginning of April, you must finish Wang Xu's case before Xiangguo adjusts, that is to say, you only have half a month at most." ”

Han Shouzhong nodded silently, only half a month, he felt a huge pressure.

……

After Yang Yuanqing returned, the palace of the king of Chu obviously began to get busy, and the ox carts that merchants came to deliver melons, fruits, and meat were also several times more diligent than before, and there were several hundred more soldiers in the palace to eat.

Not only did the ox carts that deliver food and materials come more often, but even the family members of the Chu Wangfu went out to run errands, to deliver letters, to buy sundries, etc., from morning to night, people kept leaving Wang Yi to run errands on the street.

At noon, another family member led an old horse out of the palace and walked across the moat, this person was dressed like a butler, about 30 years old, with a small nose and small eyes, and he looked quite shrewd and capable, this person's surname was Jiang, and he was the fourth steward of the Chu Palace, and was responsible for managing the vehicles and horses of the entire palace.

It is also because of the fact that the building near the water is the first to get the moon, and most of the other family members go out to run errands, or take the carriage of the palace to transport goods, but this Jiang steward can ride an old horse when he goes to run errands.

"Fourth housekeeper, you have something to go out!" The soldiers guarding the bridge had already known him and greeted him warmly.

"The handrail on the second lady's carriage is broken, and the house can't be repaired, go to Beishi to see if you can buy a new one."

Steward Jiang replied casually.

"Steward go slowly!"

Steward Jiang turned on his horse and urged his horse to go to Beishi, when out of the alley on the opposite side came a young woman on a donkey, about twenty-three or four years old, dressed in a pale red cloth dress, with neatly combed hair, and a silver hairpin inserted diagonally, and her two faces were painted with red rouge, and she was also coarse and black.

This little daughter-in-law is dressed up, riding a donkey, and can be seen everywhere in Taiyuan City, it is really too ordinary, except for some middle-aged uncles who can't marry a lady who will stare at her a few times, no one will really pay attention to her.

The young woman waved a bamboo whip and gently whipped the little donkey, unhurriedly, followed Steward Jiang from a distance, and also headed towards Beishi.

Beishi is the largest cargo distribution center in Taiyuan City and even the entire Hedong, covering an area of hundreds of acres, with thousands of shops, from luxury jewelry and silk to ordinary firewood, rice, oil and salt.

With the stability of the situation in Hedong, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the rapid development of Fenshui shipping, the commerce of the entire Hedong has gradually prospered.

The flow of people was so great that it was already difficult to ride a horse, so Steward Chiang could only lead the old horse and walk with difficulty in the crowd, and thirty paces behind him, the young woman rode the donkey very nimbly, and followed the road.

Steward Chiang bought what he needed at the house, but instead of turning back, he continued to walk forward, leaving Beishi through another door, and then walked a mile to a relatively remote alley.

This belt is close to the city wall, the houses are dilapidated, and basically all the merchants who are renting to do business in the North City, and the merchants are busy in the North City at this time, which makes the belt look particularly deserted, and only occasionally there will be a horse-drawn carriage speeding by.

Steward Jiang looked to both sides, found nothing unusual, and went directly into the alley, and in a moment, from behind a house dozens of paces away, a young woman riding a donkey appeared, she still walked casually by the side of the small alley, her eyes swept away, the alley was not deep, only the house, the door had just been closed.

The young woman whipped her donkey and staggered out of the middle of nowhere.

"You can't talk and don't count!"

In the room, Steward Jiang was very annoyed, and yelled at the woman sitting opposite the table according to the table, "After the good thing is done, pay all the remaining eight hundred taels of silver, why is it only fifty taels?" ”

The room was dimly lit, the curtains were drawn, and a young man with a sturdy figure stood in front of the window, peering out of the curtains into the courtyard, his slender eyes full of coldness and viciousness.

In addition to him, there was also a bewitching young woman sitting opposite Steward Jiang, wearing heavy makeup, her lips were bright red, and her face was white, she was not intimidated by Steward Jiang's anger, but said coquettishly: "But it didn't work out. ”

"That's your incompetence, what does it have to do with me?"

Perhaps because there was a woman sitting on the other side, Steward Jiang's voice was particularly high, he looked at the two silver cakes on the table, and the dream that he had been looking forward to for a few days was shattered, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and yelled again: "You must give me the silver, otherwise I will sue you to the government." ”

The young man standing in front of the curtain had a murderous intent in his eyes, and he gently tapped on the window with his slender white fingers, which was a signal.

A sharp spike suddenly appeared in the hand of the bewitching woman, and the wrist flipped over, piercing into the heart of Steward Jiang with great speed.

Steward Jiang opened his mouth wide, looked at the bewitching woman in surprise and despair, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, he weakly reached out to grab the silver on the table, but in the end he didn't catch anything, 'Bang! , ― The sound of corpses falling to the ground.

The bewitching woman drew the "Wings Watermark" to create a "Wings Watermark" spike, and two men in black came in from the outside and dragged away the body of Steward Jiang, leaving only men and women in the room.

The bewitching woman looked at the tall and tall man, and said quietly, "Why did you kill him?" What a pity! ”

"He has developed a heart of betrayal, and such a person can no longer be used." The man's tone was very cold, without any emotion.

The bewitching woman was still a little dissatisfied with her boss's order, "It's not easy to buy him, now that the princess of Chu and the prince haven't been killed, we can't explain when we go back, what do you say?" ”

The man's tone was still very cold, without a human breath, "Yuji, don't think that you can talk to me like this after you have slept with the young master a few times, I remind you that you are already on the verge of death."

The bewitching woman suddenly smiled, stepped forward and put her arms around the man's waist from behind, and whispered in his ear, "I see, you are jealous." ”

The man pushed her away without pity, "Pack up your things and go!" This place is no longer to be left behind. ”

The bewitching woman was pushed away by him, very faceless, and a hint of stupidity flashed in her eyes, and she asked angrily, "Why do you want to go?" ”

The man turned around, held up her with his slender fingers, and shook his head disdainfully, "In addition to your beautiful face, what you have in your head is: Baocao, didn't this Steward Jiang keep his hand?" Soon, the army will come to the door. ”

The bewitching woman's face changed, she immediately turned around and went out, and gave a few loud orders in the courtyard, and several men in black in the courtyard immediately changed their clothes and dressed up as merchants, and the bewitching woman also put on a hat that covered her whole body, and quickly cleaned it up, and after a quarter of an hour, the pedestrians left the courtyard and drove out of the alley in a horse-drawn carriage.

Half an hour later, the 300-strong internal guard soldiers of the team rushed in, wearing helmets and armor, holding bows and "winged watermark" crossbows and spears in their hands, and surrounded the alley, saying that Ben was riding in front of the alley, and the whip pointed to him, "Knock the door open!" ”

The soldiers kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in, but unfortunately the house was empty and there was no one left.

"!"

-- The famous lieutenant kicked the door of the room and cursed secretly, so he had to go out and report to Wei Ben, "General, we are late, they have just left, and the water in the kitchen is still hot." ”

Wei Ben was not angry, and the other party left in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of useful clues, not like the assassin last time, there were no clues.

"Search carefully, you can't let go of every place, return the owner of this house, find it for me!"

The soldiers began to search carefully, and soon found a lot of things that the other party had not had time to take, and at this time, a soldier brought the landlord, who fell to his knees in fright.

"Who rents your house?" Wei Ben asked coldly.

The landlord replied tremblingly, "General Hui, it is a beprising young woman, her face is white, and she has rented it for two months for fifty taels of silver. ”

"Bewitching woman, what's her last name? Where are you from? ”

"Returning to the general, my house is generally equivalent to five taels of silver for rent, and she paid ten times the rent, on the condition that I don't ask anything, the villain really doesn't know anything, but her official language is not standard, it seems that I am a fellow countryman, and the villain is from Youzhou, but it is a little different."

"Is it from Chang'an?"

"Nope! It's not that Chang'an accent doesn't eat ......"

At this time, a soldier's shout came from the courtyard, "General Wei, we dug up the body of Steward Jiang." ”
