Chapter 19: Search (2nd Watch)
An Huajin did not inscribe a poem for no reason, and framed the painting and sent it back to the Nanyang Palace. She wanted to use this painting to send a letter to the old King of Anyang, so that his grandfather would know what was happening in Beijing.
Her every move now is under His Majesty's nose, and there has been another poisoned tea case involving the grain robbery case, at this time, there are eyes everywhere, if the secret guard is mobilized to send a letter, there will be movement, and it will not be good to be targeted.
Borrowing a framed painting and stuffing the secret letter into the frame, if you can't say it openly, you can not only explain it clearly, but also blatantly send the letter back, which is a good way to hide people's eyes.
In particular, Gu Qigongzi's paintings were carefully guarded by people, and there was nothing wrong with them. No one can be suspicious.
An Huajin washed his hands, saw Gu Qingyan sitting on the side drinking tea leisurely, and raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty agreed?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Qingyan nodded, "If you have nothing to do, after lunch, we will go." As you said, change into the clothes worn by the little girl, and Your Majesty tells you not to cause trouble and make trouble, otherwise you will not be spared. ”
"Okay, as long as no one messes with me, what can I do? Your Majesty is too worried. An Huajin originally didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to see how handsome Gu Qingyan looked when he stood in the Hanlin Courtyard wearing a scarlet cannon, but now he couldn't cause trouble when he heard this, but he had a little thought, "It is said that the Hanlin Academy is adjacent to the Tantric Pavilion?" ”
Gu Qingyan nodded, "But the Tantric Pavilion is controlled by the great master of the Inner Court Division, and the Inner Court Division only listens to His Majesty's orders. Without His Majesty's will, the files in the Tantric Pavilion could not be retrieved. ”
An Huajin was a little more excited, "How tall is the master of Ouchi?" ”
"You can fight ten by yourself, but the Tantric Pavilion is full of extremely important confidential files and cases. There are hundreds of handles, and there are mechanisms. If you can sneak in just by virtue of your martial arts, wouldn't Da Chu's secrets be leaked? Ouchi masters are not as useless as you think. ”
An Huajin vented his excitement and glanced at Gu Qingyan sadly, "Do you have a way?" ”
Gu Qingyan smiled and said softly, "You don't have to worry, since the grain robbery case has been reopened, this is Your Majesty's greatest pain, and it will definitely be retried, and the file of the year will also be transferred." ”
"I'm afraid that by the time the transfer comes out, it will be incomplete." An Huajin also took a sip of tea, "Does Zhang Zaifu have the right to adjust the file of the Tantric Sect?" ”
"Yes." Gu Qingyan shrank his eyes, "Whether it was him or not, I can only find something for him to do first, so that he has no time to go to the Tantric Pavilion." ”
"How do you find something?" An Huajin came to be interested.
"Zhang Zaifu cares about the second prince the most, so let's start with the second prince." Gu Qingyan pondered for a moment, "Push Chu Chen, the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple from behind, so that their investigation of the case will be smoother." The third prince was brought out first, and the other princes would also be noticed all at once, and then the truth and falsehood would be confused. ”
"Good!" An Huajin smiled and looked at Gu Qingyan with admiration, "Amazing." ”
Gu Qingyan chuckled.
An Huajin was suddenly curious, "Eighteen years ago, the Gu family watched the grain robbery case? ”
"I don't know." Gu Qingyan shook his head, "I'll ask grandpa when I get home." ”
An Huajin nodded.
Gu Qingyan pondered for a moment and lowered his voice, "The Gu family's poetry is heirloom, and the Gu family's way of dealing with the world, before me, is mostly wise and self-preservation. I am in the Gu family, and even my grandfather says that I am not very much like the Gu family. ”
An Huajin understood, if it weren't for the Gu family's way of protecting himself, he would not have been established for hundreds of years and dynasties.
Chu Chen and Jiang Yunyi came to the Jokhang Temple with people and horses, even if Concubine Cheng had said earlier that Fang Yuan should not be disturbed during the retreat, but with His Majesty's holy decree, Fang Yuan had to come out of the retreat to be thoroughly investigated.
When the door was opened, there was no one inside, and Fang Yuan was not there.
The abbot and the elder deacons were all shocked, their eyes widened, and they said with a confused expression, "The old man personally watched Master Fang Yuan's nephew retreat, how could he not be there?" ”
Chu Chen glanced at the abbot, took the lead in entering, glanced around, and ordered, "Come on, check, see if there is a secret passage in this dark room." ”
As soon as he gave the order, the people investigating the case rushed in.
After a while, he found the secret passage of the mechanism.
The abbot's face turned white and trembled, and he didn't understand why the dark room of Fang Yuan's retreat actually had a secret passage? Even he, the abbot, didn't know. When was it dug up? He had a gut feeling that something big was going to happen. Originally, I was still distressed about the Jokhang Temple for ten years and the chef who made money for the Jokhang Temple, but now I can't care about it.
"Let's go, go down and check!" Chu Chen waved his hand.
The group entered the secret passage of the mechanism.
This secret passage is very simple, there is no hidden weapon, it seems to be only used for travel, and after coming to the end, it is the back mountain of the Jokhang Temple.
A mountain field, lush, shrubs, mountain peach and apricot blossoms are also blooming just right.
Chu Chen stood at the exit of the secret passage, squinted his eyes, and looked at Jiang Yunyi, "It seems that we are a step too late." ”
Jiang Yunyi nodded, on the plan outside Fang Yuan's retreat earlier, a bowl of breakfast and a few vegetarian dishes were placed, obviously, he left not long ago, at most after dinner yesterday, otherwise he would not be undiscovered, the rule of the Jokhang Temple's retreat is that when someone delivers food every day, by the way, clean up the dishes and chopsticks of the previous day.
Obviously, someone had delivered a message to Fang Yuan before they came, and Fang Yuan left one step earlier.
"Check!" Chu Chen waved his hand, "Search this mountain, and then lead a team of people to search under the mountain." ”
He didn't believe how far a bald monk could run in such a short time.
The people around him immediately took the order and searched it.
Chu Chen turned around and stared at the abbot, "The Jokhang Temple is really impressive, are you trying to rebel?" ”
The abbot was speechless with a white face.
Chu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to the abbot, and whispered to Jiang Yunyi, "Send someone back to Beijing to tell the two adults of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple where this news leaked from, it can't be from you and me." Don't let those two people in the prison die, then this case will be difficult to investigate. ”
"Hmm." Jiang Yun shook his head, called a person, and ordered to go down.
Chu Chen thought that Fang Yuan would hide in a corner after escaping in advance of the news, and he would have to work hard to find it, but he didn't expect that Fang Yuan was in the mountain behind the Jokhang Temple, and he was quickly found, and he ran out in the middle of the night, blinded by the black light, walked in a hurry, slipped under his feet, rolled down the hillside, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was unconscious.
He couldn't help but be angry, "Why is this monk so stupid?" ”
Of course, he didn't know that Gu Qingyan ordered someone to rob people in advance, interrogate them, and now deliberately threw them down the hillside.
He took the people, and with a wave of his hand, pointed to the abbot and the elders and deacons, and said, "Take them all away and put them in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, so that they don't find out anything, and they have to be arrested one by one." ”
The abbot finally couldn't stand it anymore and fainted, and the elders and deacons could not resist, and they were all caught on their horses.
In the capital, the waiter of the criminal department and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who did not follow to the Jokhang Temple to arrest people were interrogating Wangshuo, and Wangsuo still did not let go, and when the two were discussing the preparation for torture, they heard Jiang Yunyi send someone back to pass the word, and the two hurriedly got up to listen, it didn't matter if they heard it, Qi Qi changed his face.
Whether it is the Criminal Department or Dali Temple that there is a mole, this is a big deal.
So, Cheng Qi and Wangsuo were first transferred to the cell, and then a group of people were transferred to close guard.
Chu Chen escorted the unconscious Fang Yuan into Beijing while ordering someone to investigate Fang Yuan.
Chu Chen naturally had two hits, otherwise he would not have almost broken Gu Qingyan's identity back then, forcing him to use An Huajin to block him. Therefore, after he entered Beijing, before he stepped into the palace, he found out the secrets of Fang Yuan and Concubine Cheng.
He was so shocked that he almost fainted at the gate of the palace, and it took him a long time to come back to his soul, and he grabbed Jiang Yunyi on the side, "Are we stabbing Lou Zi?" ”
"What basket?" Jiang Yunyi and Chu Chen have a clear division of labor, he is responsible for checking Fangyuan, he is responsible for checking the abbot of the Jokhang Temple and the rest, and now there is no news from his side.
Chu Chen shook the corners of his mouth for a while, and handed the evidence in his hand to Jiang Yunyi.
Jiang Yunyi saw it, and his face changed, the royal scandal, all the officials are most afraid of finding out when they investigate the case. He was too unlucky. He held back for a while, and the young handsome face turned red, "Little prince, I heard that you asked Your Majesty for me to help you investigate the case?" ”
He looked like he had been hit by a big pit, and looked at Chu Chen with accusatory eyes.
Chu Chen glared, "The person I want is Gu Qingyan, I can't see him idle and talking, Your Majesty disagrees, and sent you to me." When the words fell, he grinded his teeth, "Who knows how his life is so good, you don't have to excuse yourself in this matter, Your Majesty will push him!" ”
Jiang Yunyi: "......"
It turned out that he himself was unlucky.
He asked, approvingly, "What now?" ”
"What else can I do? Tell me the truth! Anyway, the evidence is in hand. Chu Chen looked depressed, but he still said very responsibly, "My surname is Chu, I'll go to see Uncle Huang by myself, don't go with me." ”
His Majesty must not be happy that the royal scandal is known to outsiders, this is ruining people's future, so he should be a good deed.
Jiang Yunyi was almost moved to tears, and bowed deeply, "Thank you, little prince, I owe you a favor." ”
------Off topic------
Chu Chen was angry: "Why is this monk so stupid?" ”
Gu Qingyan: "You're right!" ”
The two of them are worthy of each other, hahaha
