Three hundred and twenty-two: Deployment
Chen Qing immediately guessed what Cheng Lan meant, this time he didn't care about entangling with Cheng Lan anymore, now it's useless to ask anything, stop these people, and then naturally everyone who should know will know, if you let those people run away, it will be the real disaster.
He chased after him without saying a word, Cheng Lan took a deep look at the departing carriage, didn't say anything on his face, just patted Chen Qing's shoulder, and quickly turned around and got on the horse and left.
The Chen family was still silent.
Old General Chen went out and didn't come back, the family was gloomy because Chen Xin'an was sick again, and even the old lady who had always been strong seemed to be a little older, when she sent Mrs. Mei out, she ran into Cheng Lan coming back, she stood on her feet, and when she saw Cheng Lan about to salute, she reluctantly smiled and shook her head: "This time it's thanks to you to break the siege, we haven't had time to thank you yet." ”
Cheng Lan was anxious to see Wei Minzhai and Chu Tingchuan, but she still hurriedly said: "The old lady has tormented me, this is just what I should do, besides, Miss Chen herself has not done anything wrong." ”
Everyone will say nice words, but Mrs. Chen just tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't say anything more.
Cheng Lan wanted to speak and stopped, but after thinking about it, she didn't say any more, and said goodbye to Mrs. Chen and went to the courtyard where Chu Tingchuan lived.
Shulin and the others were all guarding the door, and when they saw him come back, they just asked him where he had been for so long.
Cheng Lan shook his head and asked to understand that Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai didn't go out, so they went straight into the house.
Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai were discussing together which way to go back to Beijing, and when they saw him come back, Wei Minzhai stopped what he was doing first and asked him: "It's so late to come back, how are things?" ”
In fact, they have long suspected that there are other people who are hidden in Datong, which is why they have stayed in Datong and have not left.
Some things can be lightly dismissed as if they didn't happen, but some things are not allowed to be sloppy.
The scheming thing is the kind that can't go wrong, and once they really let it go, who knows if it will indulge their appetite more and more, and make them more unscrupulous.
Besides, Yang Yushi doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up.
The Jinyi guards under Wei Minzhai repeatedly came to report, saying that Second Young Master Xu was restless.
They have also Chen Ze checked the account book of the silver number that Wei Minzhai got in the capital several times during this time, and sorted out a few huge numbers that were not right.
According to the ledger, there are still seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver in and out.
After thinking about it, they felt that the money should be on Datong's spies.
Since it is in Datong, then in fact, it is very good to lock the target by excluding it.
Yang Yushi had already been the object of their suspicion for a long time, but there was no specific evidence.
This time, Yang Yubing jumped out, and they acquiesced to Chenglan's deception, who knew that there would really be a gain.
Chu Tingchuan nodded at Cheng Lan and asked him to explain what was going on.
Cheng Lan did not delay, and concisely told them everything that happened in Jinyufang today, and also said what shape the seal in Yang Yubing's hand was.
"No matter how much the Yang family stretches out their hands, no matter how greedy they are, it is impossible to give so much silver to a young master who has never been in charge, and being able to give it to him at will can only show that these silver are easy to get, and it will not affect the daily operation of the Yang family, but where did the Yang family get such a big fortune? When I heard Yang Yubing's continuous price increase, I was already eight or nine points sure in my heart that they were inseparable from Xu Er, and sure enough, later for that seal, Yang Yubing and Yang Yushi were like crazy. Cheng Lan's tone was calm: "That seal is carved into the appearance of a leopard, I have seen the account book of Second Young Master Xu, all their seals are this kind of leopard, this thing belongs to Xu Er." ”
Wei Minzhai raised his eyebrows, and with a sigh, the chess pieces in his hand fell on the chessboard with a click, and he smiled: "This is really, there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" ”
was worried about how to take down Yang Yushi, a scheming old fox, but I didn't expect someone to send a pillow when he was sleepy, and this one who sent a pillow turned out to be Yang Yushi's biological son.
If it weren't for Yang Yubing finding fault and finding the Yang family's head this time, this bureau might not be so easy for the Yang family's father and son to take the bait.
He looked at Chu Tingchuan: "What does Your Highness think?" ”
Chu Tingchuan's eyes were still on the chessboard, as if he hadn't heard his words, and after a while, he glanced at Wei Minzhai: "Since General Chen and Governor Li have already arrested Yang Yubing, and he still has a few lives on his back, of course it is time to judge the case in a dignified manner." ”
Yang Yubing is just a gentleman, no matter how powerful his mouth is, once he enters the cell and is tortured, it is impossible for him not to ask anything.
Of course, the premise is that Yang Yushi can settle down.
But can Yang Yushi settle down?
Chu Tingchuan went to see Cheng Lan again: "What is the movement of the Yang family?" ”
Cheng Lan has followed him for so many years, he believes in Cheng Lan's ability very much, since he has already let the Yang family come to a dead end, then Cheng Lan must have thought that the Yang family would jump over the wall in a hurry, and must have sent someone to watch the Yang family.
Sure enough, Cheng Lan said that an hour after Yang Yushi went home, several carriages from the Yang family went out.
Wei Minzhai and Chu Tingchuan glanced at each other, and both of them guessed Yang Yushi's next plan.
Seeing that there is no way out, if it were them, it would be impossible to sit still and wait for death, what Yang Yushi could do next was nothing more than a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry.
If it were them, the most likely thing to do was to kill Second Young Master Xu first.
If he killed Second Young Master Xu, then there was no proof of death, no one could prove that the seal was obtained by bribery, even if they were suspicious, they could not prove that this thing fell into his hands because he colluded with Second Young Master Xu.
And the second step is to kill Governor Li and even General Chen and Wei Minzhai.
Although this seems to be a fantasy, Yang Yushi has been in Datong for many years, and he was Emperor Jiaping's confidant before, he has a lot of connections, and it is not impossible to do this.
With a snort, Chu Tingchuan touched his chin and looked at Wei Minzhai: "I'm afraid that Commander Wei is a little dangerous." ”
Wei Minzhai didn't bother to pay attention to Chu Tingchuan's jokes, and reminded him dutifully: "I'm afraid Your Highness is also someone else's bag, right?" When you were in Datong before, they calculated you, but they didn't show mercy to them. ”
Come on, they are all difficult brothers, let alone the second brother, the two of them understood each other's meaning, so they stopped bickering, and thought of a way with a solemn expression.
After all, if you drive the dog into the poor alley, you still have to be prepared, and the boat will capsize in the gutter when the time comes.
