Chapter 414: Tell the Emperor
After seeing Jiang Cheng enter the mansion with his own eyes, Wen Qiao also hurriedly followed to the roof of the mansion. When he passed, he saw that the courtyard was not as peaceful as it seemed from the outside.
In addition to Jiang Cheng, who had just entered, there was also a man in the courtyard that he had never seen before.
The man looked about the same age as Uncle Zhong, dressed in a short robe, and carried a lantern in his hand.
There were no lights in the room, and Wen Qiao couldn't hear them, let alone see what they were doing. From such a distance, he saw Jiang Cheng enter a room with the man.
What does this mansion have to do with Jiang Cheng? Following Jiang Cheng to find this place, Wen Qiao didn't stay long, he disappeared into this area in the dark night.
The place where the incident occurred in Linzhou, the words of the deputy general Li Zi in the barracks, and the route of the grain and grass that Fu Siku told him.
Now that he is adding a mansion in the capital, although Wen Qiao has not yet checked what is hidden by Jiang Cheng in it, he thinks that the final result will probably not disappoint him.
He now has enough evidence to go to the emperor to expose Jiang Cheng.
It's just that Wen Qiao always concluded that Jiang Cheng must have listened to someone else's instructions.
Wen Qiao went back to Huai'en Houfu and rested for the night.
In the past few days, he has not returned to Huai'en Houfu, and Zhao Qingyan is no longer surprised by this.
Since Wen Qiao was reluctant to say, she naturally wouldn't ask more. At dawn, as soon as Zhao Qingyan entered, she saw the person who was already sitting inside, and her face showed a somewhat surprised expression, "Why are you here?"
Wen Qiao glanced at Zhao Qingyan lightly, he moved from the chair to the dining table and sat down, and said, "There is nothing important for the time being, I am naturally here."
Zhao Qingyan understood these words instantly, she nodded as if she didn't understand, and walked to the position next to Wen Qiao and sat down.
Wen Zichen hadn't gotten up at this time, so Zhao Qingyan and Wen Qiao didn't wait for him to have breakfast first. After breakfast, Zhao Qingyan asked Wen Qiao, "Are you really okay today?"
It took Zhao Qingyan and Shen Jinyu only two days to draw the design of the Fuzhou dam.
Since then, she has had nothing to do, so she has been staying in the Wynne Mansion.
Because of the emperor's order, Mrs. Cheng has never appeared in front of Zhao Qingyan in the past few days. Without Mrs. Cheng's answer, Zhao Qingyan was quite comfortable in Huai'en Houfu.
It's that Wen Qiao has been absent from the house, and Zhao Qingyan can't see his figure day or night. Wen Qiao only said that he had snubbed Zhao Qingyan in the past few days, and he opened his mouth and said, "I ......"
"Master!" Ling Yi walked in from outside with Wen Zichen and happened to interrupt Wen Qiao's words. As soon as Wen Zichen entered the front hall, he threw himself at Zhao Qingyan and shouted happily: "Mother!"
Zhao Qingyan, who was still next to Wen Qiao, took Wen Zichen directly and gently rubbed the top of his head with his hand. Wen Qiao's eyes darkened when he looked at the picture of the mother and son, and he had something in his heart that was completely unrelated to what had happened in the past few days.
Wen Zichen is not young now, Wen Qiao saw that he had gradually developed the silhouette of a young man, his body and face, and thought that he should seriously find a few masters for him.
Otherwise, he would still be pestering Zhao Qingyan like a child all day long, like something!
After thinking about this, Wen Qiao turned his gaze to Ling Yi and asked, "What's the matter?" Years of experience with Ling Yi told Wen Qiao that there must be something wrong with him.
After asking this sentence, Ling Yi said to Wen Qiao unexpectedly: "There is a secret letter from Fuzhou."
As he spoke, Ling Yi spread out his right hand, revealing in front of Wen Qiao what was in his palm, which was a very small piece of paper.
Wen Qiao took it and opened it, and in the end, his face became more and more ugly.
This secret letter came from Zhang Xinzhi, who was in Fuzhou.
It says that the situation in Fuzhou is urgent, and Wen Qiao is asked to find a way to go back to solve the Fuzhou matter as soon as possible. This is the first secret letter sent to him by Zhang Xinzhi in the days that Wen Qiao has returned to the capital.
Zhang Xinzhi is a very serious person, if he really can't persevere, he will definitely not ask Wen Qiao for help. Although Wen Qiao's matter has been almost investigated, he has not yet found out the person behind Jiang Cheng who instructed him.
This secret letter from Zhang Xinzhi made Wen Qiao's originally firm mind waver. "What's wrong?" Zhao Qingyan didn't know when she had already pushed Wen Zichen aside to have breakfast, she was looking at Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao shook his head directly and said, "It's okay."
He still didn't want Zhao Qingyan to know about these bad things. The situation in Fuzhou forced Wen Qiao to make a decision. He still has the heart to wait, but now the people of Fuzhou can't wait.
Wen Qiao thought so, the resentment and anger in his heart came out irrepressibly again, and his hands were clenched into fists, because the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, and they were trembling lightly imperceptibly.
Those brothers who died and were injured because of the escort of grain and grass, he has not yet found out the real murderer for them!
He fought with his sanity and anger, but in the end, his sanity prevailed. Wen Qiao stood up directly, and he said to Zhao Qingyan: "I have to go out in advance, and you will wait for me at home, don't go anywhere." I'll be back soon. ”
"Okay." Zhao Qingyan said to Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao, who left the Huai'en Mansion, went directly to the palace.
This time he went to the palace very smoothly, and when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, it was still the emperor's personal attendant who went in for him first.
Wen Qiao soon got the answer that the emperor allowed him to enter.
The furnishings and environment in the study are still the same as before.
This time, the emperor did not correct the recital on the dragon chair.
Wen Qiao's gaze turned around, and finally saw the emperor on the small couch by the window. On the table on the small couch was still steaming tea.
Seeing Wen Qiao come in, the emperor glanced at him obliquely, and said in a non-serious tone: "Coming?" It's still the same sentence.
Wen Qiao saluted the emperor, and without waiting for the emperor to ask, he said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to tell."
There was no emotion in his tone, but the emperor who heard this put back the half-empty room in his hand, and the teacup hit the table with a "bang".
The emperor's body also sat up straight, he faced Wen Qiao, his face changed to a serious expression, and said, "You say."
Wen Qiao bowed his head, bowed his head and said, "The minister has found out who is the person who transferred the grain and grass?"
"Oh?" The Emperor let out a voice of interest, "Tell me who it is?"
Wen Qiao said: "It is Jiang Cheng. The minister first went to the place of the incident in Linzhou a few days ago, and found that the rocks on both sides had obviously been moved, which caused the disaster. ”
After that, the minister went to the military camp where the minister was stationed in the capital, and the deputy general told the minister that Jiang Cheng went to the military camp that day to transfer soldiers. In the end, the minister also went to the treasury to check the route for transporting grain and grass, and sure enough, it was changed by Jiang Cheng. Your Majesty, these three things are enough to show that Jiang Cheng is the one who transfers grain and grass!"
