Chapter 801: Seize the Truth
Where there are interests, there are conflicts, and where there are conflicts, there are various forces fighting, and the purpose of letting Gan Ruju accompany Lu Huanbang is to control the changes in the situation between the DPRK and China, so that he can seize the opportunity when the situation comes.
Hu Xianxian had already seen that Gao Youquan was an ambitious person, and he would not be willing to do his filial piety for the emperor, serve the old princess forever, and try his best to win the trust and favor of the old princess, just to pave the way for power and profit in the future.
However, Hu Xianxian didn't understand why Gan Ruju deliberately led Lu Huanbang and Piaoman to meet in addition to desperately currying favor with Lu Huanbang, and even maybe she secretly contributed to the seizure of Piaoman, for what?
This is to dig a hole for Lu Huanbang, in case something bigger happens, after Lu Huanbang loses his power, who will give Gao Youquan as a backer?
As if seeing Hu Xianxian's doubts, Cheng Haofeng asked her: "Do you think Gao Youquan asked Gan Ruju to invite pets by Lu Huanbang's side, just to find a backer?" ”
Hu Xianxian asked with a look in his eyes, Cheng Haofeng shook his head, did not tell the truth, and only asked her to check the second thing, to find out the true identity of the stabbed household official.
That tune. The household official who was accidentally injured by the drama Piaoman was not just an accident and caused trouble? Is it also planned? Hu Xianxian was shocked and quickly went out to check.
After she left, Cheng Haofeng summoned Blood Wuqi to come and order, "You put the physical evidence that can prove the true identity of that person in a place where you can see it, but you won't suspect that we deliberately put it, so as to save her some time to check." ”
"The disciple obeys." After receiving the order without hatred, he didn't go to do things immediately as usual, and glanced at Cheng Haofeng hesitantly.
Cheng Haofeng asked with a smile: "Don't you understand why I didn't tell her the truth directly, and let her go to great lengths to investigate, but I had to help her secretly?" ”
Blood Wuqi nodded and acquiesced, this is a major matter related to the interests of several parties, and it seems to have become a small game between Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian.
"I don't tell her directly, one is to let her understand how cruel the fight is, just listen to me, she won't understand that the fight has reached the point of fire and water; Second, she always wants to protect every living being in the world, whether she deliberately thinks like this or not, she has that consciousness in her bones, so she doesn't agree with some of my practices; Three ......" Cheng Haofeng paused, his eyes flashing with sadness and dazedness.
After a sudden sigh, he continued: "Third, she doesn't trust me, and she doesn't ask about many things I hide, but she has her own speculation, and she always thinks about me in the bad way." Maybe I will be very cruel and tyrannical one day, but no matter how I use the means, it will never be useless to pave the way for me with the flesh and blood of the people. She won't trust what I say, she will believe what she found out on her own, but some details will be time-consuming to look up, and help her to verify them quickly. ”
Hu Xianxian went to Bixi Palace, and early the next morning, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Hu Xianxian asked Ruan Wenyue to go to the household department to check the background of the little official. Many people know that Pian Man is Ruan Van Yue's future sister-in-law, and it makes sense for her to track down the details of the conflict.
An hour later, Nguyen Van Yuet returned, and two days after the incident, the little official had resigned, and when he inquired about his residence, he had fled without a trace.
asked his acquaintances where he went, no one could tell, as for the reason why he ran away, they only thought that they were afraid that Lu Huanbang would retaliate against him, after all, he caused trouble for the Lu Mansion.
Hu Xianxian pondered intently, although this household official was a lowly official, he was also an official of the imperial court, and it was impossible for him to disappear out of thin air, so she asked Ruan Wenyue to carefully investigate where and who he saw when the household official finally appeared in the capital.
After another hour, Ruan Wenyue said that the last time the household official appeared in the eyes of acquaintances in the capital was to meet Dongying merchants in a teahouse.
The household department is also in charge of taxes, and the household official is in charge of the tax accounts, and must have dealt with businessmen a lot, and it is not unusual for this small official to be familiar with Dongying merchants, but it is a little strange to go to see him before he disappears.
After asking Ruan Wenyue about the location of the Dongying merchants in the capital, Hu Xianxian changed into men's clothes and went out, and soon after, a handsome scholar appeared on Dongdajie.
Dongjie is very prosperous, merchants from all over the world gather here, and the Dongying merchant has a shop selling pearls here.
Hu Xianxian paced into the shop, pretending to select pearls, inquiring about the shopkeeper, and then bought two more pearls, and then asked the man about the interesting story of pearl cutting.
"So many thrilling and magical things to do with pearl diving?" Hu Xianxian's eyes were shining, as if he was yearning for that kind of life, "Your shopkeeper's boat doesn't carry foreign customers, I want to go to the sea with me." ”
The guy was stunned for a moment, and then said unnaturally: "It's very hard and dangerous to get to the sea, and it's better for this son to enjoy the honor." ”
"Yes, yes, my little body can't withstand the wind and waves." Hu Xianxian walked out with a smile, and he already had a guess in his heart.
After walking a short distance, Hu Xianxian turned back incognito at the entrance of an alley and walked behind the shop of the Dongying merchant.
The shops on the street have side doors, some of the backyards are used as warehouses, and some distant merchants will live, Hu Xianxian has heard that there are a few small rooms in the backyard of this store, for the guys in the store, but also for the owner's visiting friends.
The household official did not return to his residence after meeting the Dongying merchant in the teahouse, nor did he leave the city, and there was no record of the inn's accommodation, and then he disappeared, is it possible that he lived in the store of the Dongying merchant and then hid in the car that transported the goods out of the city?
When he arrived in the backyard, he checked a few rooms one by one, Hu Xianxian only saw some sundries, and through those sundries, he could judge that this Dongying merchant took people to sea without permission, but it could not be proved that there was a small official among these people.
I was about to return disappointed, and I caught a glimpse of something in the corner, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was a small gold medal.
This little gold medal looked familiar, Hu Xianxian searched for similar things in his memory, and remembered that he had been angry with the bolt and the little sister, and killed a lot of thugs from the Kuai Da Shao Secret Sect, and one of the small leaders had this kind of gold medal......
How can there be something from the Kuai family here? Is it that the household official has a gold medal from the Kuai family, and he accidentally lost it when he took refuge here?
If the household official is a young person, then the matter of the Lu Mansion is really a bureau, an unexpected bureau, but he went to the merchant ship at sea, and it is estimated that he will never return to the Central Plains, how can he find out the truth?
Hu Xianxian returned to Xianyunguan with the gold medal, since Cheng Haofeng asked her to check the identity of the little official, it is estimated that she already knew about the special identity of the official, so she should ask directly.
Seeing Hu Xianxian's depressed appearance, Cheng Haofeng poured her a cup of tea and asked her to calm down after drinking tea.
Hu Xianxian took a sip of tea and handed him the gold medal, "You have already found out that the little official in the household department is from the Kuai family, right?" ”
"Hmm." Cheng Haofeng was noncommittal, bowed his head and smiled, "Don't you understand why Kuai Senxiong secretly sent people to make trouble in the Lu Mansion?" ”
"They are interdependent, why is that?"
Hu Xianxian couldn't figure it out, there was no household miniature tune. There is no follow-up, but now it can be seen that the household officials did it on purpose, and it was obviously ordered to do so, otherwise no one would have arranged a way out for him.
"Interdependence and mutual use can also turn into mutual suspicion and fighting, and there is no difference whether friends are sincere or not, only whether their interests are the same." The corners of Cheng Haofeng's lips hooked up a mocking sneer.
Hu Xianxian seemed to understand a little, but he didn't seem to understand, and asked Cheng Haofeng what to investigate next, and Cheng Haofeng asked her to ask Piaoman the truth directly.
Asked Piaoman the truth, Piaoman may not be willing to tell the truth, Hu Xianxian thought carefully about what to ask, if Piaoman refused to say, what should he do, and then went to Moxiangfang.
Red dust and purple Mo, flowers are blind, Zhu is surrounded by green, fat powder is fragrant, Moxiangfang is a place of hooking souls, but Hu Xianxian only cares about tracking down the truth, and he can't see those red, red, green and green in his frosty eyes.
She went directly into Piaoman's room incognito, Piaoman was still recuperating from his injuries, and the chief steward had already told the servants not to disturb, and it was convenient to ask questions, but Piaoman refused to say anything.
Hu Xianxian took out the gold medal belonging to the Kuai family and said sincerely: "If you don't want to say it, I won't force it." But you should be able to imagine that it is impossible for your father-in-law to let you reunite with Ruan Shaolun, and this mission of the Lu Mansion is to force you to do something that you can't accept, right? You feel that what you hoped for in the past has become a mirror, so after returning from the Lu Mansion, you deliberately alienated Ruan Shaolun. ”
After finishing speaking, Hu Xianxian walked outside, she was gambling, betting on whether Piaoman believed in herself or not.
After going through a lot of wind and frost, it is difficult for people who face despair again and again to trust others, and when Hu Xianxian thought that he had failed, he spoke up.
"If I can keep Ruan Lang safe and sound, I know everything, and I can say everything; If you just use me, I will curse you even if I go to the eighteenth layer of hell! Piaoman's eyes were stubborn and resolute, and he put everything out, just to keep Ruan Shaolun safe.
Hu Xianxian turned around and chuckled: "Although I don't have great ability, I can still do something, not only to keep Ruan Shaolun safe, but also to ensure that you go to live a happy life with him." ”
The forces of all parties are fighting, Piaoman is just a small chess piece, she only begs her own affairs not to implicate Ruan Shaolun, but Hu Xianxian promised to keep them away from the abyss together, which made her stunned and moved.
Piaoman told the truth of this matter, but it was actually quite simple: Gan Ruju wanted to listen to all kinds of news by Lu Huanbang's side, to facilitate Gao Youquan's actions, and to induce Lu Huanbang to make mistakes and arrest him.
Letting Piaoman go to Lufu to perform a dance was arranged by Gao Youquan and Kuaimori Xiong, but after Piaoman arrived, he listened to the secret order of the household officials and knew that there was a mission to come here.
The household officials pretended to tune. played Piaoman, which made Lu Huanbang have a deeper impression of Piaoman, and came forward to mediate for them because of his pity and pity.
During the separate mediation, the household official flattered Lu Huanbang's tea. medicine, so that Piaoman acted in a play where he was injured by Lu Huanbang**, and then rebelled and accidentally injured him.
But Piaoman didn't want to use sex and lure the enemy, so he acted very bluntly when he resisted, entangled and dragged on for a long time, Lu Huanbang actually noticed that the tea was drugged, poured a few sips of cold water to suppress the medicine, and asked Piaoman what he wanted to do.
Lu Huanbang has experienced many romantic and sinister things, and he is obviously reluctant, of course, he senses that something is wrong.
Piaoman, who was already panicked, thought about simply assassinating Lu Huanbang, this exposure of martial arts, Piaoman's identity aroused even more suspicion.
Lu Huanbang is not cowardly in power, and after dodging two attacks, his bodyguards have captured Piaoman and locked him in a dungeon.
