Chapter 207: Eyebrows

After dealing with the affairs of the army, General Wang rushed back to the capital.

After a few words of greeting with his family, General Wang had just sat down and wanted to rest for a while when the butler came to the door.

"Butler, are you in such a hurry?"

General Wang frowned and asked the butler who came in a hurry, and saw that he had taken out a lot of invitations and greetings.

"These are invitations and prayers that have recently been sent to the house. I've already sent it over to Madame's side, but the rest still needs to be handled by the general. ”

General Wang waved his hand angrily.

"Throw it away, throw it away, throw it all away! What kind of invitations and greetings, Lao Tzu is no longer the general who led the troops to fight everywhere before, just a deputy general, where are there so many things? ”

It's just that after the butler hasn't stepped out, he quickly changed his mind.

"Get it back!"

"Yes!"

General Wang nodded casually, looking at the condolences sent by the housekeeper in his hand, the first few copies were basically ministers of the court, and General Wang was a little bored.

I thought I had to tell myself something, but it turned out to be flattery between officials.

"Well, I think so, these things are the same whether you look at them or not!"

He casually threw them on the table and looked up at the butler.

"Nothing else than that?"

The butler respectfully continued.

"In fact, there are still many prayer posts, but they are just poor people who want to cling to the general, so the old slave has already made the decision to clean up these prayer posts."

"Show me it."

Now he is more interested in the people than his colleagues.

just read one letter after another, all of them were flattering without exception, and some people directly said that it was his fellow countryman and asked him to help introduce a certain prime minister in the court.

General Wang sneered, threw out a stack of things in his hand, and just swept it over carelessly, and the name on one of the prayer posts made General Wang nervous.

He quickly opened the post and browsed through the contents, then looked at the butler with a serious face.

"How many days has it been since this message arrived?"

The butler took it and looked at it, shaking his head.

"It seems like it's been a few days, and it's the family who hurried to deliver the post, saying that they must let you know that he has been here."

After listening to the butler's words, General Wang didn't care about resting, turned around and strode out of the house.

Fortunately, there is the address of Zhong Li's home on the post, otherwise General Wang will have to look for it for a long time.

According to the address, General Wang came to a small courtyard.

After looking left and right at no one, General Wang raised his hand and knocked on the door.

In the past few days, Zhongli has been waiting for General Wang to return.

Wang Qinglin thought that the person who came was Zhao Yiyan, but when he opened the door, he turned out to be a strange man, but he remembered what Zhongli had said a few days ago, and immediately understood the identity of this person, and he immediately took General Wang to Zhongli's study.

"Zhongli, haha, long time no see! Zhong Liyue, this kid is okay? But why did you come to the capital? Are you still in such a hurry to find me, is there anything I am afraid to help with? ”

General Wang asked immediately after seeing Zhongli.

Zhongli glanced at Wang Qinglin behind General Wang and motioned for him to go out first.

"General Wang, let's sit down and talk."

Zhongli motioned for General Wang to sit across from him, poured another cup of tea and handed it to General Wang.

Zhongli's composure and composure did not make General Wang settle down, but even more frightened!

"Zhongli, is something happening?"

Zhongli gave General Wang a reassuring look before slowly recounting what had happened that night.

Before General Wang could change his expression, he went out again and took out the sachet between them, and motioned for him to open it and take a look.

After opening it, General Wang was completely surprised, and he realized why Zhongli had to wait for him to come back.

He may not know what other people's tokens look like, but as General Shen's subordinate before, when he saw this token, he already clearly knew what it meant for this token to appear at this time and still appear in Zhongli's hands.

"This is the so-called secret weapon that night?"

General Wang's face was surprised, when Zhongli spoke just now, he only talked about the secret weapon, but did not say the specific content inside.

"It's not just the token, it's this."

As he spoke, Zhongli took the sachet and opened the letter inside and placed it in front of General Wang.

General Wang picked up the letter and put it down with a serious face.

"When did this happen?"

"It was a few days before I sent it in. General Wang, how many tokens did you have back then, and who held them, can this person still find them? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Zhongli couldn't help but shudder fiercely.

General Wang touched the pattern on the token and slowly fell into recollection.

He also had this token before, and it was a token belonging to Shen Jiajun.

At first, he had doubts about whether the token was real or fake, but after carefully reading it several times, General Wang was very sure that the token was real.

It's just that the group of them back then, the dead and the wounded, are almost impossible to find.

"Zhongli, have you told anyone about this?"

He put the token in the sachet and put it away along with the letter, and pushed it in front of Zhongli, motioning for him to put it away.

"No, only you know about this matter except me!"

Zhongli's words reassured General Wang a little.

"General Wang, Zhongli knows very well that after telling you about this matter, it is likely that you will be involved, but since that incident back then, we have been unable to help ourselves, haven't we?"

Zhongli took a deep breath before slowly exhaling it while asking the question in his mind.

"Moreover, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the mysterious person behind this has been hiding in the capital, what do you want to do?"

For General Shen's rehabilitation?

Or, overthrow the throne?

"You also know that I don't walk around the capital all the year round, and I have been thrown out since I was transferred back, saying that I was seconded to Beijing, but in fact, it was just a bright promotion and a secret debasement, and I was put under the emperor's nose to spy on me."

General Wang thought about it carefully and then sighed and said.

"So, if this matter needs to be investigated, I will try to find out. But don't get your hopes up, you also know that being able to hide at the root of the imperial city and under the feet of the world for so many years is enough to show the great ability of that person. So ......"

"Well, just do your best, and don't reveal your identity, after all, the emperor is probably letting down his guard against you now! But I'm curious, what is the danger that the man is talking about? ”

Zhongli didn't wait for General Wang to answer, and continued to speak out the doubts in his heart: "General Wang, about our identity, did General Wang leak it to others?" ”

General Wang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to Zhongli's meaning.

But instead of being unhappy, he said firmly.

"Don't worry about this, I know what the consequences of revealing your identities will be faced by your brothers and sisters, as General Shen's old department, I don't want to see such a result. Also, I can't explain that to you right now, but there is one thing you can believe. ”

"What?"

Zhongli looked at General Wang suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about.

"The capital is not a place to stay for a long time, you must leave the capital as soon as possible after the New Year's Festival!"

Zhongli nodded firmly.

"Well, that's what I thought too. But the man couldn't find out for a day, and I couldn't calm down for a moment. ”

Zhongli said worriedly, "Also, how did my identity leak?" If it weren't for you, could you venture to guess that someone had been secretly watching me? ”

She didn't want to put her whole family in danger because of someone who might be at risk.

Only after investigating clearly and knowing who this person really is, Zhongli can rest assured.

General Wang also understood what Zhongli was worried about, and nodded lightly.

"Don't worry, whoever that person is, it doesn't seem to be any threat to you right now, because there's no bad intention against you. But this matter needs to be considered in the long term. ”

He reached out and patted Zhongli on the shoulder, reassuring him.

Now that General Wang was there, and helped him to investigate this matter, Zhongli was a little relieved and nodded to the other party with emotion.

"Thank you General Wang for raising your hand, if you hadn't been transferred back to the capital, I guess it would have been impossible for me to find someone to help."

Sending General Wang away, Zhongli locked himself in the room alone, thinking about the front and back of this matter.

After a long time, Zhongli came out of the room and called Wang Qinglin.

"Second son, what's the matter?"

Wang Qinglin turned to look at Zhongli.

"Brother-in-law, you should be careful these days, the capital has not been peaceful recently, pay more attention. Also, keep an eye out for suspicious people around your home. ”

Zhongli didn't explain so much to Wang Qinglin, and again, Wang Qinglin was just stunned for a moment and then nodded in response.

"I see, then I'll go out and get busy first."

General Wang kept Zhongli's incident in mind, and hurriedly entered his study after returning home, and found someone to investigate what Zhongli said without resting.

But after a few days, there was no news from General Wang's side, and he couldn't investigate who the man in black Zhong Li was talking about.

General Wang thought about it, and finally decided to come to Zhongli's house to talk first.

"General Wang, did you find something?"

Seeing General Wang coming, Zhongli immediately greeted him and asked nervously.

Looking at Zhongli's expectant expression, General Wang shook his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Zhongli, I ...... about this matter I haven't looked into it yet. ”

After listening to General Wang's words, Zhongli was a little disappointed.

But before the bell could leave, General Wang continued.

"But it's still a short time, maybe give me a little while, and I'll find it. Man is not a god, and he can always find a clue to everything he does. ”

But seeing General Wang's embarrassed expression, Zhongli still showed a hint of a smile.

"It's okay General Wang, this matter is not so simple, and it can't be investigated in a day or two."

At this time, Zhao Yiyan's people discovered one thing, that is, General Wang, who was stationed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, came to Zhongli's house twice after he returned.

If it was a visit, he didn't have any doubts, but the problem was that General Wang had just returned to Beijing on the night he came to Zhongli's house, and he had a long secret conversation in the study.

If it is an ordinary person who reminisces about Zhao Yiyan, he may not pay attention to it, but no matter what is used to explain his hurried visit, he feels that there is a lot of article in it.

The man reported General Wang's incident to Zhao Yiyan.
