Chapter 135: Bloody Rain
General Yan's real name is Yan Ting, he is also a son of a family, he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is also a child who the emperor grew up watching, but unfortunately his family fell into the middle of the road, and he joined the army by chance and has now climbed to the position of commander of the Royal Forest Army, and the emperor is very relieved of his actions: "Well, yes, you are also a participant in this evil wolf incident, so you will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to solve this case." ”
"The minister commands." Yan Ting knelt down without humility or arrogance, and took the holy will.
"Well, let's go down." The emperor waved his hand and waved the two away.
"The retainers (ministers) retired." The two saluted and exited the Qinzheng Palace.
At this time, the sun was setting, dyed red with clouds, it seemed to be the bloody rain on the battlefield that year, Yan Ting frowned, I am afraid that there will be another disaster in this palace, and I don't know how many people will be implicated because of this.
"I heard that this time it is thanks to General Yan that he ordered to shoot the wolves at a critical moment, so it didn't cause a big disaster." Gu Hanjing looked at the thoughtful Yan Pavilion and took the lead in speaking.
"Your Highness has praised falsely, it is the duty of the minister to protect the safety of the palace." Yan Ting looked at Gu Hanjing and said, without the slightest emotion in his tone.
is worthy of being a person who has come down from the battlefield, is not chaotic in the face of danger, can make decisive decisions, and is a rare talent.
"I don't know what the scene was when the general arrived." Gu Hanjing asked.
Yan Ting recalled describing it to Gu Hanjing, and actually remembered eight or nine points. Gu Hanjing also keenly caught that Yan Ting seemed to deliberately avoid a person when he narrated, but he didn't pursue it.
"In this way, all the young ladies at that time were at the palace banquet in Lingchun and did not leave." Gu Hanjing listened to Yan Ting's description and concluded thoughtfully.
"The specific number of people still needs to be checked with the princess to confirm the list of palace banquets. But it should be all there. Yan Ting recalled it carefully to make sure that nothing was missed.
"Well, in that case, I need to go to the princess to confirm." Gu Hanjing glanced at Yan Ting, who didn't squint at Yan Ting with a serious face, and said: "Why don't we divide our soldiers into two ways, you go to Ling Chun to investigate the abnormality of the guests and Ling Chun Palace, and I will go to the scene of the crime to have a look, and then turn later." ”
The strangeness in Yan Ting's eyes flashed, but it was still captured by Gu Hanjing, Gu Hanjing didn't speak, just quietly observed Yan Ting.
After a moment, Yan Ting received the order and turned to leave.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Yan seems to be very hesitant." Lu Wei didn't know when he stood behind Gu Hanjing, his face full of gossip.
Gu Hanjing was already surprised: "It seems that you have been quite idle recently." Why don't you go and do something for this palace? ”
"No, no, Your Highness, my subordinates are very busy." Lu Wei hurriedly waved his hand and looked like his feet were not touching the ground, and respectfully handed over a letter by the way.
"What is this?" Gu Hanjing glanced at the letter, and had no intention of taking it over.
"This is a beggar sent to the prince's mansion, handed it to the concierge and ran away, it says that His Royal Highness the prince personally opened it." Lu Wei briefly introduced the source of the letter, and looked at Gu Hanjing with a mysterious expression.
This kind of expression often indicates that there is more to this matter, Gu Hanjing asked: "What about the beggar who delivered the letter?" ”
Lu Wei showed a proud look: "Naturally, I caught it, and as soon as the concierge sent the letter in, I felt that something was wrong, so I immediately took someone out to chase it, and caught the beggar without two steps." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Hanjing symbolically praised and motioned for Lu Wei to continue.
"As soon as the beggar saw that we were coming to arrest him, he immediately recruited everything, it was a letter from Hongliu, the maid of the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to him, and asked him to send it to the Prince's Mansion. Tut-tut, I can't imagine that there are still people who use such a backward way of sending letters these days. , I think the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really not very smart.
When Gu Hanjing heard the letter sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also became interested: "Oh? Sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, open it and see what it is. ”
Lu Wei knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attached great importance to Wen Xian'an, and as soon as he saw that Wen Xian'an was involved in the letter, he immediately reported to him: "Your Highness, this is a whistle-blowing letter, and the letter says that Miss Wen Xian'an, the daughter of the Wen family, is the main messenger behind the evil wolf incident in the palace. ”
"Oh~ that's interesting." Gu Hanjing hooked the corners of his mouth, in a good mood. I can't find a chance to go to Wen Xian'an's Mansion to play, and someone will send water if I'm really thirsty.
Lu Wei heard the pleasure in Gu Hanjing's tone, and said in his heart: Is Your Highness stupid? Miss Wen was slandered, why didn't Her Highness laugh angrily? If it was usual, I was afraid that I would have let that slandered person die a long time ago, right?
But it's just a matter of thinking about it in his heart, and it is impossible for Lu Wei to say it: "Your Highness, what now?" ”
Gu Hanjing narrowed his good-looking phoenix eyes and said happily: "What can I do, since someone sent us a clue, we naturally want to investigate." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Wei responded, and followed Gu Hanjing out of the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Under the sunset, Wen Xian'an was counting the newly acquired belongings in his yard, one hundred taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, several large boxes of gold and jade jewelry, and some jewelry heads made in the palace. Although Wen Xian'an had also seen the world in his previous life, he had owned all kinds of rare things, but in this life it was the first time he had his own small treasury, thinking about the ambition of this life, and he felt that this pile of things outside his body was more and more pleasing at this time.
"Light, open a storeroom, and register all these things." Wen Xian'an said in a very good mood.
"Yes, miss." said lightly, directing the little girl to move boxes of things into the warehouse.
"What's going on there at the third miss?" Wen Xian'an simply picked the newly arrived herbs in her hand, and she was preparing to develop some new standing pills to relieve the people's headache and brain fever, so that if the people had simple illnesses in the future, they would not need to go to the trouble of seeing a doctor.
Qingling stood aside and skillfully helped Wen Xian'an: "The second lady has talked back and forth in the courtyard. The second lady lost her temper in the yard, but somehow the greenery around the third lady came, and invited the second miss over, I don't know what to say, and when the second miss came back, she locked herself in the house and never came out again. ”
"Where's the red willow next to the second lady?" Wen Xian'an raised her eyebrows, washed the picked herbs and continued to ask.
Qingling spread out the washed herbs: "I heard from the porter that Hongliu went out, but I don't know where it went." ”
Wen Xian'an packed up the herbs, washed his hands and said, "It seems that the fish has taken the bait." ”
Qingling hurriedly handed over the towel to wipe his hands: "Then what do we need to do next?" ”
Wen Xian'an looked at the tea that had cooled on the table and said, "Go and clean the teapot and replace it with the new Biluochun this year, and there will be distinguished guests in a while." ”
"What kind of guest?" Beckoning lightly, the little girl who was accompanying her immediately stepped forward to clean up.
