Chapter 111: The Tripartite Contest (2)
"Tuk Tuk"
The night was silent, and there was a violent knock on the door on Chongkangfang Street.
"Who? What about urgency? Don't knock on it. The guy who guarded the restaurant at night came to open the door with a curse in his mouth.
The heavy wooden door of the restaurant opened, and the man saw that the person who came to knock on the door was a young man in ordinary clothes, and his tone was a little unkind.
"Who are you? Sleepwalking without sleeping at night? ”
The young man didn't seem to notice his attitude, and said in an eager tone: "Man, I have something to look for, and I just saw that your shopkeeper was kidnapped by the side of the road. ”
When the guy in the restaurant heard this, he was so frightened that he hit a spirit all over his body, and he shouted to the second floor: "Oh my God! Something big is wrong, something big is wrong with Xiaoyuer, hurry up and put on the carriage. ”
The young man who told the news ignored his man's howl and had already left, and he came to the corner and ripped off his clothes, revealing a black night robe.
"Miss Li, let's go."
As soon as the man's voice fell, a black-clothed figure walked out of the corner of the street, dressed in tightly bound black, and it was not obvious from her figure that it was a woman, it looked just a thin man's body.
In the palace of the eldest prince, the eldest prince walked back and forth in the dark room with his hands in his hands.
The eldest prince has this hobby from Emperor Xiyuan.
At first, he didn't know what his father did, so it was pure imitation, and one day he made a great mistake, and he was frightened by this ordinary act in the Taiqing Palace, and he was cramped and uneasy, and his heart was even more tormented, so he understood that this was the way of the emperor.
Since then, he has changed from a hobby to a hobby.
"Didn't you say you didn't have a handle on you? Why don't you let your prince's subordinates protect your wife and brother? The figure walking around did not stop, the slow step has become a rapid step, the eldest prince was extremely angry in his heart, Yan Sili dared to coax him, if he confessed honestly, things would definitely not happen.
"Your Royal Highness, the lower official did not deceive His Royal Highness, the lower official is clean and self-conscious, if it is not to avoid it, he will never be greedy for half a cent of money, and his wife and brother are also law-abiding businessmen, and now they are just small merchants with little family assets." Yan Sili's attitude was respectful, but his tone was extremely proud.
Regarding Yan Sili's defense, the eldest prince himself didn't know how much he believed, but Yan Sili was unwilling to tell him because he was worried about his life.
"If you have something unspeakable, you can also tell this prince, and this prince will help you deal with it!" The eldest prince spoke softly.
Now that their eyebrows are burning, do you still have something to hide?
The eldest prince continued: "Can you hide it from this prince, but can you also hide it from your second brother? Otherwise, how could the second brother take such an action? ”
"Your Highness, the lower official guarantees his life, if he deceives His Royal Highness, the lower official will not die well!" Yan Sili was also slightly angry, he was angry at the distrust of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince sighed and said, "Lord Yan, this prince believes in you, it's getting late, you go back first, the rest of the matter will be handled by this prince, and you are ready to be summoned by the emperor at any time!" ”
Since he couldn't ask the reason why his wife and brother were arrested, the eldest prince had no intention of wasting his urgent time with him any longer.
"Retire!" Yan Sili bowed and retreated, and he also doubted at the moment whether his wife and brother were as kind as they appeared.
"Park Jin-kyung"
"Subordinate in"
The eldest prince's eyes were fixed on his subordinates who bowed respectfully, and he said angrily: "Yan Sili's wife and brother will have a problem, why haven't you found out?" On the contrary, can the second brother's subordinates find out? ”
Park Zhenqing replied respectfully: "Your Highness, there is no problem with He Jincai, although he can pull tiger skins, but this person is extremely generous in business, and his assets are not too rich in business for more than ten years, and there are only five shops under his name, two of which were before he leaned on Yan Sili." ”
"What this prince wants is not something that can be seen on the surface, so you didn't secretly investigate his details?" The eldest prince was not satisfied with this statement.
Park Zhenqing was worried, but he had to reply stubbornly: "The subordinates have investigated, but they have not found any clues!" ”
"Carry out tonight's plan, accidentally injure his life, you go down and deploy!" The eldest prince sighed.
This is a last resort, he originally had two sets of abdominal cases, which could help Yan Sili win this position with two more chances, but now Yan Sili is held by the second brother, and the preparation is no longer of any use.
Park Zhenqing received the order, this matter is his own sin, and the matter is too unreliable. Why don't you get anything? Can someone else find out the clues?
Zhuang Jing only found these at first, and when he learned from Tao Zhongzhi that He Jincai had 40,000 and 3,000 yuan of silver, he intuitively felt that He Jincai's details should not be so simple.
He Jincai bought three new shops in five years, and Zhuang Jing also checked the business operated by his five shops and found out the source of his purchases.
In detail, He Jincai's total profit in a year is 4,000 taels, and he only bought three shops in five years, why does he still have so much silver?
Zhuang Jing ordered someone to arrest He Jincai's only son, and he was ecstatic to find out the secret of the interrogation, and this person secretly hid five shops.
Facts have proved that only enemies who want to deal with He Jincai can do everything they can to understand, and if Park Zhenqing is in a solemn position, he may be able to dig out clues from elsewhere.
It was close to midnight, and fifty miles away from the boundary of Chang'an, dozens of torches lit up in the dark night.
More than 30 knights are hanging lanterns in front of the reins and running slowly, about to reach the destination, everyone's tense strings are much relaxed, with a look of joy on their faces, they are in order to be able to reach Chang'an today, all the way to the dust and dust on the way without much rest.
These knights came from Yanzhou, and Wang Li, who was recommended by the second prince to run for Dali Temple, was among them.
Wang Lifang is forty-five years old this year, dozens of days ago he received a letter from the second prince's flying pigeon, asking him to go to Chang'an to compete for the position of Dali Temple, and after settling down the affairs of the family, he hired 30 guards with martial arts to protect him to Chang'an.
"My lord, there are a few big trees blocking the way!" A guard with good eyesight shouted.
At this moment, dozens of figures sprang out from the bushes and grass next to the official road, all of them holding weapons and killing the knight.
The knights also drew their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.
"Run back," one of the knights shouted, but there was no need to be reminded, almost all of them had already turned their horses and rushed towards the rear.
"There is also a horse team blocking the road behind, you can't run, you can go back, only the front road may be able to break through and escape." In the darkness, it seemed as if someone was giving orders.
When the knights turned their horses again, the group of black-clad assassins had already chased the front, and with the black-clad cavalry surrounding behind, they were already surrounded by hundreds of people in front and behind.
"Whoever lays down his arms will not die." The black-clad leader shouted.
The situation is stronger than people, but life is more important than the situation, and all knights dare not throw down their weapons and wait and see with weapons in hand.
"Boss, which one is Wang Lifang?" A man in black asked.
The knights were all dressed similarly, and there was nothing particularly conspicuous.
The black-clothed leader smiled: "Hehe! Wang Lifang, you are really cunning, do you think I will take you without a problem like this? Drag down those who are surrounded in the middle. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were surrounded in the middle were terrified, and some of them were so frightened that the incontinence of the horse leaked water on the back of the horse.
The black-clothed leader took a sip and scolded: "Special mother, bad seed!" ”
