Seeing that the eldest girl was silent, Fu Ren said directly: "Why don't I go to the northwest to investigate." ”

Fu Yuanling shook his head, "Don't go, now I can't do without you in Beijing." I have already told Uncle Shi that if Monk Luo is willing, let them go. ”

Uncle Ren is old, so it's really not good for his health to run around like this, and it's not easy to say what the situation is in the northwest, Uncle Ren has been in the northwest horse farm for a few years, and as long as he shows up, he is afraid that he will be recognized.

If the other party really came to the Fu family, Uncle Ren's danger would be much greater.

In contrast, Shi Chengzhou and Monk Luo have always been low-key, not easy to attract the attention of others, and it is safer to go to the northwest.

Fu Ren wanted to fight for it again, but Fu Yuanling insisted that he had to give up, "Then I'll talk about the situation in the northwest and go back to Shi Chengzhou carefully." ”

Fu Yuanling agreed, chatted with Uncle Ren for a few words, and let him go back.

When Xiao Jiuqi came back, it was dark, and the two children had already returned from the palace, and Fu Yuanling accompanied them to play in the house.

Xiao Yi quietly removed the Luban lock, Xiao Chong was different, running all over the house, and the leather boy did not stop at all.

When Dao Xiao Jiuqi came back, the two of them were already tired of playing, and they fell asleep after dinner. Fu Yuanling watched them fall asleep from the side, and when he heard the movement and turned around, he saw Xiao Jiuqi who came back from the night.

Fu Yuanling stood up gently, signaled the nurse to take care of the child, and quietly walked out by himself.

"Slept so early today?" Xiao Jiuqi retracted his gaze and asked.

"I'm tired of playing." Fu Yuanling and Xiao Jiuqi said as they walked out, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"The fourth brother asked people to check something, so it was too late to wait for the news."

The two went back to the main house, Fu Yuanling asked someone to pass dinner, and asked Xiao Jiuqi to go to the clean room to wash and change clothes, and he happened to come out when the meal was served.

The two of them talked while eating, and after the previous words, Fu Yuanling asked, "What is it?" ”

"You really don't know about this, and I don't know either, when the fourth brother heard me mention these horse bandits, he thought of an old case more than ten years ago."

"Old cases?"

"Yes, it is still a tragedy, the victim is a major merchant in the northwest, and he was also wiped out by horse bandits, and none of the dozens of members of the family were spared. The horse bandit who did this case acted in a very similar way to the person this time, so the fourth brother asked people to investigate. ”

In the case more than ten years ago, the king of Chu was able to think of the extermination case in the northwest and the northwest in his younger brother's words, which shows that the king of Chu knows a lot about many things in the court.

"The result?" Fu Yuanling asked.

The fourth brother said that there may be people who are related, and they still need to be checked to be sure. Because many of the modus operandi are very similar, although it is not certain whether it is a group of people, some relationships are certain. Tomorrow in the court, the fourth brother will go to the court and ask his father to allow the Criminal Department to investigate the matter. ”

"So fast? Could the Criminal Department please investigate? Generally speaking, such a case should be handled by the local government, right? ”

"It stands to reason, but the case more than ten years ago became a headless public case in the Criminal Department, and now that there are clues, it is also appropriate for the Criminal Department to continue to investigate directly."

Fu Yuanling's eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately understood, "Fourth brother is afraid of arousing the suspicion of King Wu and others, so he started on the grounds of the case more than ten years ago, so King Wu will naturally not suspect it." ”

Xiao Jiuqi was happy, "Yes, the fourth brother said the same thing." And the fourth brother also said that if this matter is really related to Xiao Ting, if he can get evidence, he will definitely be able to cut off Xiao Ting's arm. ”

At the beginning, Long Chengzhi's fall hit Xiao Ting hard enough, if it weren't for the emperor's support for Xiao Ting later, and let him take charge of the shipyard, he could have a relationship with Yunzhou Port and Que Zhou Port, so that he could quickly turn over and accumulate strength, and now Xiao Ting is afraid that he can only gasp under the blow of the fourth brother.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiuqi was still very angry, although the fourth brother talked about the way to balance, but he was still very angry.

If evidence is really found that Xiao Ting has something to do with this matter, so many caravans have been looted, killed and injured, and they are also systematically targeting the Fu family business alliance, no matter what, it is impossible to let this matter go with a slight raise of his hand.

***

At this time, King Wu was discussing with his staff in King Wu's mansion.

"Lord Wang, now that the major merchants have suffered a lot of losses, they will inevitably ask Fu Yuanling for an explanation. At this time, if the news is released, the Fu family business alliance will slowly fall apart. One of them said, "Lord Wang, this time you can no longer think of the love of brothers and sisters, and you will suffer from it if you don't die." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, the matter of the dragon phase is a lesson, your subordinates are merciful, and the king of Chu will not be merciful. This layout has taken nearly two years of effort, and it must not fall short. ”

"Merchants are very profitable, as long as their interests are damaged, any alliance will be wiped out. As long as the merchants of the Fu Family Business Alliance understand that they will be safe and sound if they withdraw from the Business Alliance, this Fu Family Business Alliance will soon be in name only. ”

King Wu listened to everyone's words, glanced at it, and then said: "There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, you don't have to worry, this king will definitely not stop this time." ”

The people in the room were obviously relieved, after the operation of Princess Changle and Concubine Tan Guifei last time, everyone really vomited a mouthful of old blood.

After this incident, King Wu not only failed to get a good result, but lost face in front of His Majesty, and it took a long time for His Majesty to lose his anger. Therefore, Wu Wangye had to bow his head to do things in the court, and he did not dare to take the lead easily, but let the king of Chu pick up a lot of cheap.

"I heard that Concubine Li De has not been able to restore her former dignity in front of the queen mother, if there is a way to deepen the queen mother's dislike of Concubine Li De, it will inevitably damage the king of Chu."

"I'm afraid it's not right now, although Concubine Li De has no dignity, but the King of Chu doesn't know what he has done, and the queen mother is not angry with him because of this."

"How can there be a discord in this world, the last time Concubine Li Defei bought Yun Guifei, didn't we do it without knowing it? Concubine Li Defei is narrow-minded, as long as she grasps this, she may not be able to succeed. ”

"Li Lu is not a fool, what happened last time has made him more vigilant, he will inevitably say that Concubine Li De is patient, everything must not be repeated, it is better to be careful, don't let the prince be implicated again."

King Wu waved his hand and looked at everyone, "This matter is not in a hurry, postpone the discussion." Let's settle the matter in front of you first, it will inevitably be passed to the King of Chu at this time, and the follow-up plan will continue, so be sure to let the King of Chu take the bait. ”

King Wu is a little anxious, his father's health is not as good as day by day, after a minor illness this year, it is obvious that his spirit is not as good as in previous years, and now his mother is on the verge of falling out of favor, and he really does not dare to say that the storage position will definitely fall into his hands.

He didn't have much time left and couldn't wait any longer.
