Chapter 298: Secretly Probing
"We will be careful, Yang Zhen has a problem, that is, he loves antiques, many officials will collect antiques and give them to him," Qian Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said: "So as businessmen, do we want to collect any antiques?" ”
"I have a piece of fine ancient jade here, can you help me get it back?" Xiao Bai'er reluctantly took out a piece of ancient jade from her arms, handed it to Qian Fan and said, "You have to bring it back to me, otherwise my sixth brother will beat me to death!" ”
"Did I really take it?" Qian Fan stretched out his hand to take the ancient jade, his hand was cold, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's really a good jade!" But what if I can't get it back? ”
"Can't get it back?" Xiao Bai'er pursed her lips, looked at it reluctantly and said, "Then I'll go to Seventh Cousin and ask him to compensate me better!" ”
"Hahaha, don't worry, I have a lot of antiques there," Nalan Minhao said with a smile: "Fan'er is just joking with you, do you really think she will take your ancient jade to that Yang Zhen?" ”
"Okay, Sister Fan'er, you dare to tease me!" Xiao Bai'er rushed directly to Qianfan's side, and the two of them laughed together, Nalan Minhao and Wei Zhiyang also laughed, sweeping away the haze of the past few days.
The road to Cunzhou is not close, so a few people stop and go along the way, and they are not in a hurry, Xiao Bai'er has eaten a lot of delicious food, and the whole person looks a lot rounder.
"Oh my God, no one will want you to eat it again!" After Qianfan left the capital, he was a lot more cheerful, and the whole person seemed to be much more lively.
"Who said that! Brother Wei won't dislike me! Xiao Bai'er muttered while stuffing the soup bag into her mouth: "Besides, I eat well, which means that I am in good health, and it will not affect the birth of a child when I turn around!" ”
"Poof......" Nalan Minhao squirted out a mouthful of water, fortunately, Wei Zhiyang hid quickly and was not affected, but he still knocked Xiao Bai'er on the head helplessly, sighed and said, "You stupid girl, dare to say anything!" ”
Xiao Bai'er stuck out her tongue and continued to feast, Qianfan said with a smile: "Tomorrow, we will go separately, you will go to the village slowly, and remember that in three days you will have to check in to the post station with great fanfare, and the three of us will quickly speed up and estimate that we will be able to enter the village in three days." ”
"Be careful, if you are really in danger, come to us at any time!" Wei Zhiyang said with some worry: "After all, there are only three of you, run away when you are outnumbered, don't fight hard." ”
"With me, it's going to be fine!" Laurinse strode in, then took out a human skin mask and put it on his face, and said with a smile: "Now you don't know who I am!" ”
Xiao Bai'er looked at the unfamiliar face, and immediately jumped in front of Luo Langshi, and looked up and down carefully, but didn't feel amazed: "Third cousin, I really don't see you, I want to play too." ”
"I've been carrying this thing for a long time, but it's going to get ugly, Xiaobai'er, are you sure you want to bring it?" Qian Fan took a sip of fish soup and said with a smile: "If you wait for you to become ugly, I will still choose a handsome daughter-in-law for my eldest brother, so as not to affect the appearance of the future child, after all, it is the blood of the Wei family, so I still have to pay attention to it, right?" ”
"Really? Will it get ugly? Then forget it, third cousin, when you become ugly, I will sympathize with you! Xiao Bai'er immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Wei won't marry anyone else except me, Sister Fan'er, you don't scare me, I won't be fooled!" ”
"Over this period of time, this kid is really smarter, and it seems that daily training is still effective!" Qian Fan nodded seriously and said, "It's really teachable!" When you're as smart as I am, you'll be able to become a teacher! ”
"Sister Fan'er, I see that you have been with Brother Minhao for a long time, and you have become oily and slippery, you are really on a thief ship!" Xiao Bai'er sighed regretfully.
It's just that before she could speak again, Nalan Minhao had already flicked her head dissatisfiedly, and scolded with a smile: "Who do you say this girl is a thief!" ”
Everyone immediately laughed, and several people discussed for a long time, and that night, Qianfan, Nalan Minhao and Luo Langshi hurried to the village, while Wei Zhiyang and his party were still hurrying behind slowly.
It wasn't until three days later that Lan Xiaoling ordered the convoy to hang the imperial flag on the carriage, everyone in the Shenji Battalion changed into the clothes of the Praetorian Guard, and Wei Zhiyang also changed into official uniforms, Xiao Bai'er naturally pretended to be a scholar and followed him with a cold face.
Subsequently, each post station received the news that the Qin Cha passed through the place under their jurisdiction, and the officials from all over the country naturally rushed to the post station to greet him, so that Wei Zhiyang's journey was even slower, and Yang Zhen, who was in the estate, got the news early.
"My lord, the news from the front is that the Qin Cha is the third product appointed by the emperor, and his scholar has been carrying a sword box behind his back, and they guess that it is the emperor's imperial sword."
In the study of the Thorn Mansion, Yang Zhen, who was fat, sat on a chair and ate roast chicken expressionlessly, while standing opposite him was a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, who was the strategist who had been with him for many years, Liang Jin.
To say that Yang Zhen has done a lot of bad things, and he is also short-tempered, killing people or something is also coming as soon as he says, but most of those insidious ideas with his brain were conceived by this Liang Jin, so Yang Zhen trusts Liang Jin very much.
"It seems to be true, why didn't you listen to my cousin?" Yang Zhen frowned while eating and said, "It seems that the little emperor has the intention to purge the government, if he escapes this catastrophe, he must be safe and sound." ”
"But the old lady asked for a sign in the temple the day before yesterday, but she signed it, and the monk who released the sign said that you had a bloody disaster during this time, and you should be careful!" Liang Jin really thinks about Yang Zhen, after all, he still has to rely on Liang Jin, so even the slightest danger can be avoided.
"What threat can a blind Chin Cha have!" Yang Zhen wiped his hands indifferently, spit out the chicken bones in his mouth and said, "When they come, they will be entertained with delicious food and drink, what can go wrong?" ”
"My lord, my subordinates received news some time ago that Nalan Minhao had left Beijing." Liang Jin said worriedly: "Will the prince of the world come with Qincha?" ”
"No, I heard the news from Liangzhou that the prince and the princess went all the way to Liangzhou, and they walked very slowly, it seems that they were accompanying his princess to the mountains and rivers." Yang Zhen waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to worry.
"My lord, then Yang Linshan is still in prison!" Liang Jin suddenly thought of something and said: "There is no way to rebuild Yicheng, so what should we do if we go to see Yicheng?" ”
"Yang Linshan is also a hard bone, he has tortured him for so many years, but he refuses to tell the whereabouts of that treasure," Yang Zhen said fiercely: "Lock him up somewhere else first, and then continue to ask when Qin Cha is gone." ”
"Yes!" Liang Jin nodded, quickly retreated, and when he left the house, he looked around, but he didn't find anything, so he walked in the direction of death row with confidence.
"This guy is the Liang Jin that Yang Zhen trusts the most!" Sitting in the tea shed in the southeast corner were the dressed Nalan Minhao, Luo Lang Shi and Qian Fan, Luo Lang Shi saw the man going in the direction of death row and said: "It seems that he is going to death row, presumably he has received the news of Wei Zhiyang's coming, they will not kill that Yang Linshan?" ”
"If you want to kill it, you will kill it a long time ago, will you wait until now?" Nalan Minhao didn't touch the tea in the tea shed, and said lightly: "It seems that there must be some secret on that Yang Linshan, otherwise he would not kill him after being tortured for so long?" We have to find a way to meet that Yang Linshan. ”
"If you want me to say, wouldn't it be easier to kill that Liang Jin directly, and then pretend to be him to approach Yang Zhen?" Luo Langshi naturally knew that Qianfan had arranged for someone to follow that Liang Jin, so he sat down in place without a hurry and said, "What do you think of my idea?" ”
"It's a good idea, but do you know Yang Zhen's preferences?" Qian Fan glanced at Luo Lang Shi and said, "If Yang Zhen asks a few questions from before, won't you immediately reveal your stuff?" Liang Jin is not a person we are familiar with, it is still possible to deceive those jailers......"
Speaking of this, Nalan Minhao immediately nodded in response: "It's okay to deceive the jailers, and it's okay to deceive those guards, so let's wait until we find out where they will transfer Yang Linshan to make a decision!" ”
In the dead of night, when the three of Qianfan were sitting in the inn discussing whether to go to Yicheng to have a look, Xiaoyu quietly appeared in the room and said to Qianfan: "Young General, it has been investigated, in the dungeon of a Zhuangzi ten miles away from Cunzhou. ”
"Who is Zhuangzi for?" Qianfan nodded and continued to ask.
"It's the cousin of Liang Jin's concubine in the third room," Xiao Yu has already found out these things clearly, "But it can be seen that it should be Liang Jin's, after all, the cunning rabbit three caves, it is estimated that Liang Jin is afraid that one day his house will be raided, and he will not get anything, so he only has one other courtyard and two shops under his name." ”
"It's really cunning, so that even if he dies, those things won't be recovered, but how can he think that his concubine will be able to escape?" Laurang asked with some confusion after listening.
"That Liang Jin has always been alone, and no one knows that he has seven concubines, and each room has enough money and shops, and all of them have three or four children," Xiao Yu continued: "So it can be seen that he has been guarding against being caught, and he must have done a lot of bad things." ”
"That's done a lot of bad things, and many things about Yang Zhen were his ideas," Nalan Minhao said lightly: "Yang Linshan's wife was killed by Yang Zhen, and it was in front of Yang Linshan, but this idea was Liang Jin's idea." ”
"Brute!" Qian Fan closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm his anger, and said to Xiao Yu: "I remember that there will be a banquet in the Assassin Mansion tomorrow night, and when the time comes, you will throw Liang Jin's favorite concubine into Yang Zhen's room, I want to see if he can bear it when he sees this scene!" ”
"Then Yang Linshan's mother was directly dragged to death by Yang Zhen with three horses, his son and daughter were drowned, and Yang Linshan was all present," Nalan Minhao was also a little sympathetic when he got these news from the dark department, and his tone was naturally extremely heavy, "What is he protecting?" Watching the whole family die in front of him and refusing to speak? ”
