Chapter 103: Suspicious Convoy

The two brothers of the Cheng family looked at Bai Su's calm face, but their hearts were boiling!

The emperor is old, and there are only a few people who are interested in that position, and have the strength to compete. It's not hard to guess who is behind this curtain at this time!

"Bai, how is King Changyang's condition now?"

It was Cheng Chuyang who asked.

Cheng Siyi was also very curious, "Yes, haven't you been conditioning Changyang King for the past two or three years?" What is he really sick? ”

Bai Su turned the teacup, "King Changyang has been weak since he was a child, and he has been taking medicine all year round. Despite his best efforts, the improvement was still not significant. He once asked me to make a divination for him" At this point, Bai Su paused for a moment. The two brothers of the Cheng family instantly pricked up their ears.

"How?"

"Judging from fate, I won't survive this year."

"What ......"

The Cheng brothers were taken aback.

"You told him the truth?"

Bai Su nodded silently.

Xiao Yunqi, the king of Changyang, is the eldest son of the queen, and according to common sense, he can be crowned the crown prince without waiting until he is an adult. The biggest flaw is that he is weak and sick, which is why the emperor has hesitated for so many years.

At present, whether it is age or strength, the only one who can compete with the King of Changyang is Xiao Yunshen, the king of Anping. If it is really as Bai Su said, King Changyang will not live for this year, then the crown prince will easily fall to the head of King Anping.

It's just that King Changyang doesn't know about this matter, I'm afraid King Anping doesn't know.

Cheng Chuyang touched his chin and said with a serious expression: "Now that you know your lifespan, it is very likely that King Changyang will be involved in this case." The biggest possibility is that King Anping ......"

Cheng Siyi shook his head, "Not necessarily, right?" There are a total of six princes in the emperor, in addition to King Changyang and King Anping, there are two still alive. Everyone is a prince, how do you know that the two who are old don't have that mind? Don't forget, the fourth prince, Xiao Yunhe, is now seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was born to the queen, and his succession to the throne is also justified! ”

Cheng Chuyang subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that Cheng Siyi's words were also reasonable.

are all the emperor's sons, if there is no one at all, it is really bad. He looked at Bai Su for help.

Bai Su put down the teacup, stood up and walked a few steps. It's like recalling, and it's like guessing.

"Xiao Yunhe, I've seen it, his biggest wish is to go out of Chang'an to play around, if he competes for the position, I'm afraid he really doesn't have that mind now! As for the future, it's not good! ”

Cheng Siyi still did not give up.

"What about the Six Princes? The age difference with the four princes is only one year old, if you have an idea, I'm afraid you have it, right? ”

Bai Su shook his head decisively, "The sixth prince is a concubine, his biological mother's position is too low, and he has no imperial favor, and he does not have a strong foreign family to back, he can't have that strength." ”

Cheng Siyi frowned, "According to your analysis, there is a good chance that this person is An ......?" ”

Bai Su nodded silently, "This is just a rough guess." Of course, it is not excluded that there is a possibility that kings of different races or surnames may have different hearts. It's just that in the past half a year, I have hardly heard of a king with a different surname stranded in the capital. Therefore, at the moment, only King Anping is the most suspicious. ”

"In that case, do you want to tell Uncle about the results of your analysis? He seems to be assisting Dali Temple in investigating the case these days. ”

Bai Su smiled, "What the three of us stinkers can analyze, how could the dignified Dali Siqing and Lord Fu Yin not think of it?" The difficulty is to find evidence that he planned this case and intended to rebel! Without evidence, even if the weapons were found in Chang'an City, they would not be able to move him at all. ”

Cheng Chuyang obviously thought of this as well, and when he raised his buttocks, he pulled Bai Su out.

Cheng Siyi saw that the two left without saying a word, and hurriedly followed.

"Hey, why are you going? Why don't you take me? ”

Cheng Chuyang waved his hand after rushing, and said without looking back: "It's important for you to take a good look at the tea house, I'll let Bai accompany me to do big things!" ”

Cheng Siyi paused with a drooping face when he heard this, "Isn't it just to find evidence?" It's as if people can't guess! And do big things...... Hum! ”

Cheng Siyi returned to the tea house with an unhappy face, and the shopkeeper of the tea house saw that his face was not good, so he hurriedly lowered his head and crackled and started to calculate.

Although it was speculated that it was unlikely that the weapons would be transported out of the city at this time, Cheng Chuyang and Bai Su still followed the people from Jingzhao Yamen to check on the various city gates. The first place to go is Dongcheng.

The three city gates on this side of the east city are all the same after checking. Cheng Chuyang and the others went to Xicheng again. The first to check out is the Golden Light Gate. This gate is the closest to the two cities, and the people entering and leaving the city are relatively complicated. Therefore, there are also more soldiers stationed at this city gate.

Gan Lin took out his waist card and showed it to the officers and soldiers at the city gate, and then interrogated.

"How? Is there a large group of people out of the city today? ”

When the officer and soldier saw that he was investigating the case, he shook his head respectfully.

"Not at the moment! The most frequent people are traders and ordinary people, and no suspicious brigades have been found yet. ”

Gan Lin nodded and glanced at Cheng Chuyang, "Let's go?" ”

Cheng Chuyang nodded, and just as a few people were about to turn their horses' heads, a convoy walking in the distance caught their attention.

The convoy had two or three wagons at the front, and a row of more than a dozen wagons in the back were loaded with large wooden boxes that had been bundled.

Looking at the carload of black wooden boxes behind, the officers and soldiers guarding the city and Cheng Chuyang immediately became vigilant.

The two officers and soldiers in charge of checking the passing Xingrao immediately stopped the convoy, "Who wants to go out of the city?" What's in the back carriage? ”

As soon as his voice fell, a man leading the team in front of the carriage immediately handed over the road guide and related documents.

"It's convenient for the official, I'm Qin Hu, the big boss of the Qin family's dart game. We're helping people to escort goods to Persia. ”

An official carefully checked the road guide and documents, found no problems, and handed them to Gan Lin and a few people to check.

Gan Lin took a few looks, but found no problem. Speak directly:

"Sending so many goods to Persia? So who is the employer? What's in the back wagon? ”

The big boss of the dart bureau saw that Gan Lin and the others were from the yamen, and hurriedly replied: "The three carriages in front are the employer's family and more than a dozen slaves, and the carriages in the back are loaded with the employer's own goods, all of which are antiques, jewelry, and valuables such as silk. Those goods were packed with our own eyes, and there was absolutely no problem. Our Qin Clan's Dart Bureau is also more or less famous in Chang'an City, and these brothers under our hands trek through mountains and rivers all day long, just to make a living. A few officials are accommodating, so let's go out! ”

Gan Lin handed him back the document and the guide, and said without changing his face: "As long as the inspection is completed according to the regulations and no prohibited goods are found, the officers and soldiers will naturally let them go!" ”
