Chapter 173: Ordered
Seeing Xiao Jiading's uncertain face, Shao Dong sneered: "What? Scared? I've already reminded you, and it's up to you to listen. Now, you can't stay out of it! ”
"Less!" Xiao Jiading scolded angrily, "Go on, what happened later?" Why wasn't it discovered by Jia Minxing in the imperial history? ”
"I investigated the ...... through one of the princess's personal maids"
Xiao Jiading's heart moved, and he thought of Chang Feng saying that Shao Dong was chasing Princess Yang's personal maid Xueqing. Then he asked, "Which maid?" What is your name? ”
"Her name is Xue Qing. She liked me so much that I asked her to help figure it out. ”
Sure enough, it was this Xue Qing. Shao Dong said that Xue Qing was chasing him, and Chang Feng said that Shao Dong was chasing Xue Qing, and it was common sense that Shao Dong should be talking about the truth, and it was Xue Qing who chased Shao Dong in turn. At least before this incident, Xue Qing had that kind of meaning to Shao Dong, except for this matter, Shao Dong conveniently used Xue Qing's feelings for him and asked her to investigate this matter.
Xiao Jiading said: "You go on." ”
"Okay, after I asked Xue Qing, she said that before Yu Shi Zhongcheng came that morning, Princess Yang went to the study to find a book, and when she came out of the study, she took a package with her. But I don't know what's inside the road. However, Princess Yang looked very nervous and scared at that time. So I'm sure it was Princess Yang who stumbled upon this thing. Later, Princess Yang began to secretly investigate all the people who had been to the study. He also tortured several suspicious maids and guards. Fortunately, I was clever and asked Xiao Soul to go to the board to do this matter, I deliberately mixed in the crowd for the past two days, and many people proved that there was no time to commit the crime, so I was not suspected. After Princess Yang didn't find any clues, he began to ask his personal guard chief Chang Feng to lead people to investigate the characters on the rivers and lakes! I know something bad is going to happen. If you continue to investigate like this, sooner or later you will find out about Xiao Soul. I was going to sneak into the prison to kill Xiao Soul, and I happened to have an errand to Wan'an County. Originally, I could not have gotten going, but I said that I wanted to go for a walk, so I was sent there. When I arrived in Wan'an County, I got the news that Xiao Soul had escaped from prison. I knew that he would definitely come to me and ask for the remaining half of the money, so I deliberately made a public appearance in Wan'an County, and when he came to me, he really sent someone to send me a note to meet me at the Chenghuang Temple in Wan'an County. I went, I wanted to sneak up on him. Unexpectedly, he was very alert, found out about my premeditation, and fought. That's it. ”
"Pan Beijia, why do you want you to frame the King of Shu?"
"I don't know. He asked me to do it, and I did it, but whether there was anyone behind it, everyone in the officialdom knew it. Pan Beijia alone, he didn't have the guts. That's why I don't want to say anything. It's hard for everybody. ”
"Don't you know that this matter is a capital crime to exterminate the clan?"
"Of course, I know it. I also repay the favor. I used to be on the road, but then I was arrested for committing a crime, and Pan Beijia got me out and helped me get rid of my crime. helped me change my identity, changed my name, and then sponsored me to be the prince's bodyguard, all the way to the chief of the guard. If it weren't for him. I'm afraid I've been put to death. Of course, he saw my cousin helping me. My cousin is Mrs. Pan Beijia. ”
Xiao Jiading thought secretly in his heart, he was only afraid of that time. This Pan Beijia already had the idea of rectifying the black materials of the King of Shu. So he placed Shao Dong by the side of the prince of Shu. Then he asked, "Were there any other people present when he gave you this task?" ”
"Nope. - How can there be someone else in such a thing? ”
"He prepared something?"
"Yes."
"Then after this matter didn't work out, did you report it to him?"
"It was his prophet who did not succeed, and he called me for a question. I just found out about it, and then I went to Xiao Soul to inquire. ”
Xiao Jiading repeatedly asked for some details, wrote down a confession, and asked Shao Dong to sign and draw the charge.
After leaving the prison, it was already late at night.
Xiao Jiading didn't wait for dawn, this matter was too important. He went straight to the prince's mansion to see Princess Yang.
He did not directly ask to see the prince, because he felt that Princess Yang was calmer and more assertive than Li Ke, the king of Shu, and she was also decisive. It might be better to report to her first.
Soon, Princess Yang was reported to Xiao Jiading. The meeting was in Princess Yang's study.
Princess Yang's expression was calm, but Xiao Jiading could see that she was trying her best to hide the worry in her heart, because Xiao Jiading came to report so quickly, and asked to see her overnight, presumably asking something important. So I don't care about the middle of the night, I'll see you right away.
When she arrived at the study, Princess Yang was the only one, and she knew that the matter was important, and she didn't think about avoiding suspicion. Retreated left and right, and met with Xiao Jiading alone.
Xiao Jiading also made a long story short, took out Shao Dong's confession and handed it to Princess Yang.
Princess Yang looked at it, her face was gloomy as if a storm was coming. After a long time, Princess Yang spoke: "When I found this bag of things in the study, I guessed that someone wanted to frame the prince, but who was framing the prince, I don't know what to do, I took the things away and destroyed them, but if the person who did this didn't find out, such a thing would happen, so I started to investigate secretly, but there was no result, I didn't expect it, you helped me find the result." It turned out to be Pan Beijia and his gang! Hum......! ”
Speaking of this, she clenched her fists, but slowly let go again, and her voice became low: "Pan Beijia is not a problem, the problem is the eldest grandson Wuji behind him, this person is now powerful, even the emperor can't do anything about him, let alone the prince." If you want to move Pan Beijia, it is impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji to stand idly by, especially in this matter, the evidence is relatively weak. So, we have to find another cause to cure him! ”
Speaking of this, Princess Yang looked at Xiao Jiading and said slowly: "You are very effective, and the prince and I rely on you very much." ”
Xiao Jiading chuckled in his heart, he knew that it was not a good thing for the princess to pat her horse, there must be more important things to do by herself, but it was not a sign of cowardice, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Thank you for the princess's compliment, it is my honor to do things for the prince and the princess." ”
"Well, because you do things well, this matter has to work hard for you."
"Princess, please."
Princess Yang thought for a moment before she said, "Since Pan Bei drove them to play tricks, then we can only treat them in the same way!" - You find a way to get close to them, win their trust, and then find out their conspiracy so that the prince can deal with them in a targeted manner. This is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles! In the face of poisonous snakes, if you want to fight, you have to hit seven inches! This task of finding the other party's seven inches will be handed over to you. Would you like to? ”
Let yourself be a spy in Pan Don't drive them? Ha Luha, isn't this exactly what you are going to do? It's just that he wants Pan Beidao to accept him as their person, so that he will not be identified as Li Ke's cronies and lose his head in the upcoming Fang Yiai and Li Ke's rebellion. In the past, he was in contact with Geng Changshi and them, and he was worried that it would cause Li Ke and Tang Lin to be disgusted and alert, and cause trouble, but now he is on the order of the princess to break into Pan Beijia's inside, then it is justified, killing two birds with one stone!
If you really want to sleep, someone will send a pillow, Xiao Jiading feels very refreshed.
It's just that this kind of coolness must not be revealed, and it can't be agreed to immediately, otherwise it won't get Princess Yang's greatest gratitude, and it seems that this task is too easy and ordinary, and the benefits in exchange will shrink a lot.
Therefore, Xiao Jiading was embarrassed, and he looked sad and thought about it.
Princess Yang did not have any displeasure because Xiao Jiading did not readily agree, on the contrary, the more Xiao Jiading was like this, the more she felt that Xiao Jiading was an honest person, unlike some people who swore to complete the task resolutely on the surface, but in fact, they cut corners, or made a fool of things, and did not really work hard. And Xiao Jiading was able to show the doubts in his heart, which made Princess Yang feel that he was honest and therefore more trustworthy.
So, Princess Yang said softly: "Xiao Lang, I know that this matter is very difficult to handle, and there is still a lot of risk, and if it is not discovered, it may endanger your life, but you can rest assured, only me, the prince, and Tang Lin and the three of us know the Dao, and we will never leak it to the fourth person." Moreover, if you do this and help the prince get rid of the two pieces of flesh thorns of Pan Biejia and Geng Changshi, the prince will not treat you badly. ”
Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed down and said: "Since the princess said so, then even if you go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, Xiao will not give up!" They put the prince to death, and we will put them to death! ”
Princess Yang was overjoyed, got up and walked in front of Xiao Jiading, nodded approvingly, and said, "I didn't see the wrong person, I believe you will not live up to the expectations of me and the prince!" ”
"The princess and the prince value Xiao so much, Xiao is full of liver and brain, it is not enough to repay the princess and the prince!" Xiao Jiading's words landed soundly, arching to the ground.
"Hmm!" Princess Yang nodded, "In order to gain their trust as soon as possible, you can consider revealing some information to them, or you can spend some money and what you need, just tell me." If there is any news, tell me directly. Don't go through others. ”
"Yes, I see."
Princess Yang thought for a while, and then said, "That Shao Dong, can't let him live!" You have to find a way to kill him as soon as possible and don't leak the news. As for the maid Xueqing who hooked up with him, I'll deal with it. ”
Let me kill? Xiao Jiading's head was a little confused, this is not a good errand, but if Princess Yang can say this, it proves that she has regarded herself as a confidant, if she shows even a little hesitation on her face, it will immediately arouse Princess Yang's suspicion. So, Xiao Jiading immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, princess, I will definitely do it properly." ”
"Hmm. Come here! ”
What did the princess tell herself to do? Could it be ......?
Xiao Jiading's heart was pounding and he walked over. (To be continued......)
