Chapter 312 Investigation

said that Zhao Falcon's side, since Qingle Yuan left, he thought about it and didn't go straight back to the palace.

The words that the second girl said to him, as well as the incident that happened to meet Wei Ye at the gate of the mansion recently, made him think about it and feel uneasy.

Therefore, leaving from the Wei family, Zhao Falcon went all the way to the mansion, plus today Guo Min'an ascended to the hall to ask the case, and it was not closed that the door of the mansion was closed, there were few people in front of the beginning, and at this time, the outside of the mansion was already surrounded by ordinary people, and Zhao Falcon stood in the crowd, not showing the mountains and water, and taking in everything that happened in the mansion.

It turned out that there were so many twists and turns here, and it turned out that behind the case of the loss of the jade pendant of the lord of Yuanle County, there was even a life lawsuit involved, as well as the knife of the Guangyang Palace......

Although the people of Qizhou City are not uninformed, the most people who know about the knife have heard of it from rumors, and Zhao Falcon, when he was still serving in the palace in the past, was fortunate to have seen the knife.

It's just that for many years after that, there was only one pair of treasure knives left, he remembered three years ago......

Yes, three years ago, at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, His Majesty ate two more glasses of wine, and became interested, asking the king of Guangyang to send someone back to the royal mansion to fetch the treasure knife and enjoy it above the main hall.

King Guangyang was calm, and he really asked someone to take it, but there was only one stalk left for it.

If Zhao Falcon is not mistaken, many times before that, people outside mentioned that they wanted to see the style of the treasure knife, but they were all dismissed by the king of Guangyang without a trace, and it was the rumors outside that became more and more evil, and even said that the Guangyang palace had already buried the treasure knife in the tomb of the ancestors.

And the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, the people who can go to the banquet are all clan relatives and magnates, that is, they have seen the treasure knife, and they will not say it casually when they go outside, plus at that time there was only one treasure knife, and the other one did not know where to go, even His Majesty did not ask much, after all, it was the things of the people's royal mansion, and those of them were naturally even more silent, and when they went out of the palace, they would not even mention the knife.

But today, in this Qizhou City, he heard the knife about the Guangyang Palace.

Wang Quan?

What is Wang Quan, and is it worthy of the eyes of King Guangyang?

Zhao Falcon's throat tightened, and he immediately thought of the things Wei Ye had done before.

He was in the crowd, but his dark eyes were fixed on Wei Yeqi's long figure.

Guo Min'an also looked at Wei Ye, he was waiting, waiting for Wei Ye to speak first, but to his surprise, after hearing Xia Guinian's words, Wei Ye was still so calm, he was so steady.

In the end, it was Guo Minan who opened his mouth uncontrollably: "Wei Ye, Xia Guinian has said so much, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Ye raised his head, and his face was full of the word "unruly": "What do you want to hear from me?" ”

Guo Minan subconsciously twisted his eyebrows.

It's been too long, it's been too long.

From the time he went to Qizhou to serve as the prefect, even if there were many hardships that outsiders didn't know, he felt aggrieved in his heart, but when he went out, people respected him as the four-grade prefect, and he had to be respected by the imperial court, and he was promoted to the prefect of Qizhou in just five years.

Guo Min'an was almost immediately sure that the treasure knife handed down from the Guangyang Palace's mansion was in Wei Ye's hand.

And after so many years, Wei Ye has never shown that treasure knife in exchange for any benefits for himself, that is just waiting, until one day in the future, when the Wei family is cornered, or when it encounters a difficult situation that cannot be overcome, he is willing to use the treasure knife to exchange his family for safety.

Perhaps, it was not for nothing that King Guangyang promoted Wei Ye back then, otherwise how could he even give Wei Ye such a thing?

That kind of knife, invisibly, almost sold a big love to Wei Ye, no matter what happened to Wei Ye in the future, King Guangyang would protect him, just once, even if it was just once.

Guo Min'an took a deep breath: "Wei Ye, how did the treasure knife of Guangyang Wangfu fall into Wang Quan's hands?" ”

Wei Ye shrugged his shoulders and laughed lightly: "My lord is really smart, and he won't ask me anymore, is the knife in my hand?" ”

He didn't answer the rhetorical question, this attitude made Guo Minan very angry, and the startled wood immediately sounded: "Are you now relying on His Royal Highness the King of Guangyang to look down on you, so you despise the court?" ”

"I dare not bear the sin of contempt of the court, and I cannot bear it." Wei Ye paused, restrained slightly, and bowed his hand, "My lord, Wang Quanneng stole so many things from the Wei family to sell, and that knife was probably stolen out of the mansion by him and brought to the Wangxing Gambling House." As for how he stole the knife out of the house, the adults must be confused in their hearts, after all, that thing is important, more important than the previous jade pendant, I must have received it very well, how could I ask Wang Quan to steal it? ”

He kept smiling, and looked at Guo Min'an intently: "My lord wants to ask this, right?" ”

But then he spread his hands: "My lord asked, and I can't answer, but what I can be sure of is that the treasure knife is now in good condition in my house, and it will never fall out and fall into anyone's hands." ”

In other words, Wang Quan stole the treasure knife and left the house that day, but he knew what the matter was, from the beginning, he was just going to the Wangxing Gambling House to go to the fox fake tiger power, in exchange for the qualification to join the gang and share dividends, and then put the treasure knife back in its original place, without alarming anyone at all.

In this way, this king is ......

Guo Minan really sneered: "Wang Quan's courage is big enough, to take such a big risk to deceive Shopkeeper Xia." Later, after he joined the gambling house, he also knew who was standing behind the gambling house, he was a slave family, and he used such a means to calculate people, two years later, he was not afraid at all, and he could take the bonus silver from the gambling house with peace of mind, so to speak, even the official had to admire his courage and calmness. ”

Wei Ye just pouted: "Why don't you want to think about it, will his death be related to this matter?" ”

When he mentioned this, he withdrew his gaze and fell on Xia Guinian.

……

"You mean, Wangxing Casino?"

Zhao Falcon didn't listen to Guo Min'an's ascension to the palace outside the palace all the time, only listened to most of it, and hurried back to the palace.

Li Yan listened to his words, his brows were worried, and the more he came later, the more solemn his face became.

Zhao Falcon nodded and said: "And Governor Guo almost said that he missed his mouth, although the slave was standing outside the hall, but he didn't deliberately suppress his voice, and the slave clearly heard a word." He said and bowed down again, "Master, do you think it could be Xu Ge Lao?" ”

Can Guo Minan be so shocked when he saw the name, and then kept silent, lest it be leaked to the people, he used the name of the big giant in the court to describe this person......

Li Yan took a deep breath.

Although there is no explicit prohibition in the imperial court that officials are not businessmen, but in a place like a gambling house, how many things are hidden and dirty, who can say clearly?

If it is simply running a business outside, or joining a partner, participating in other people's operations, and sharing a little bonus silver every year, it will be okay, at most, it is to use the convenience of power to give others some convenience, but usually such people will be somewhat restrained, for fear of being targeted by the court, making themselves a commotion, and even affecting their future.

The operation of the gambling house also dares to get involved.

"This matter, after asking Guo Min'an, I know everything, if it is really Xu Jingshan, I have to let the imperial brother know."

Zhao Falcon's eyes darkened: "But there is still a matter of the Wei family and the Guangyang Palace...... Master, do you really believe that the knife was stolen by Wang Quan? ”

To say that Wang Quan has such a great ability, Li Yan doesn't believe it, but Wei Ye faced Guo Min'an's interrogation so calmly......

And Wei Ye is a person who has been in Beijing for many years, and he doesn't know Xu Jingshan's name, today he is called Guo Min'an so secretive, he can't guess that behind Wangxing Gambling House, is Xu Jingshan standing?

However, he could guess that he still dared to talk about Wang Quan's murder in front of Xia Guinian.

"Didn't he mean to ask Guo Min'an to check Xia Guinian, or even the big giant of the DPRK and China behind the gambling house?" Li Yan rubbed his chin with his backhand and pondered for a long time, "If you ask me now, I'm really not sure." Wei Ye is scheming, the past, that is, Guo Minan still doesn't know, I estimate, Guo Minan will not embarrass him today, in Wang Quan's murder case, he is so calm, even if he knows that Wang Quan stole a knife to go to Wangxing Casino, he is still so indifferent, you say, Guo Minan will think, does he have a ghost in his heart? ”

Zhao Ying shook his head almost without thinking about it and said no: "Over the years, Governor Guo has seen so many people and seen so many things, in fact, there are some people, he can see through them at a glance, and some things, he will also have a shadow of doubt in his heart." But Master Wei...... People say that knowing people and faces do not know their hearts, and the slaves are only now considered to have seen thoroughly. ”

Li Yan smiled silently: "But what he said is not wrong." If it's really Xu Jingshan, what kind of person is he, do you still need me to tell you? ”

Zhao Falcon was stunned suddenly.

That Xu Ge Lao has been in the cabinet for too long, and he has been in a high position for too long.

If you want to say that he is brutal by nature, then it is not enough, but most of the people who have been in high positions for a long time do not have a very good temperament for the people below, or those who are irrelevant, or, like Wang Quan, who does not know whether he lives or dies, and dares to think about him.

He invested money in Wangxing Gambling House, participated in the operation of the gambling house, and was the backer behind the gambling house, once these things came to the front of the palace, it would not be said that Xu Jingshan would be pulled down, but it was inevitable that he would be impeached by the imperial historian for a while, and His Majesty would definitely reprimand him, and for a long time, his position in the court would be greatly affected, not to mention that there were political enemies eyeing him.

Therefore, Xu Jingshan took a big risk and was the backer behind Wangxing Casino.

And what about Wang Quan?

In Guo Min'an's words, when Wang Quan paid dividends in the first year, he even took more than Xu Jingshan, and Xu Jingshan was willing to give him this face, for the sake of His Royal Highness King Guangyang, in fact, at that time, Xu Jingshan was probably not sure whether Wang Quan's knife was given by King Guangyang or Wei Ye, so he was willing to let this step, probably because he was afraid that Wang Quan was standing behind His Royal Highness King Guangyang, and he was willing to give up part of his dividends and distribute them to Wang Quan's hands.

Now that Wang Quan is dead, Wei Ye seems to have woken up the dreamer with a word.

When Zhao Ying thought of this, his mind flashed, and he was stunned for a moment: "That master, Wang Quan's going to the gambling house to join the gang will have nothing to do with Guangyang Palace." ”

Li Yan smiled and said yes: "Are you really so easy to fool Xu Jingshan?" Tell Guo Minan to investigate, if it is really Xia Guinian's hand to buy murder, then I estimate that what Wei Ye said is also credible. In fact, you see, in the capital back then, what was Xu Jingshan's attitude towards Wei Ye? Xu Jingshan is a person, he has his own set of methods for dealing with people, he can afford Wei Ye, but he actually looks up to Qin Zhao, in other words, he must have investigated behind his back, but he never figured out what the grievances and entanglements between Wei Ye and Qin Zhao were all about, why Wei Ye was looked at differently by Qin Zhao, because he couldn't get it right, so he simply didn't offend Wei Ye, don't look at Wei Ye's little businessman, but in Xu Jingshan's heart, the weight is heavy. ”

If that's the case, so far......

Even if Wei Ye leaves the capital now, the weight of Wei Ye in Xu Jingshan's heart will only be heavier, not lessened.

Zhao Ying was relieved in an instant.

No wonder the master said that if Xia Guinian killed people and asked for Wang Quan's life, then what Wei Ye said was credible, he probably really didn't know that Wang Quan stole the treasure knife and went to the Wangxing gambling house to go to the fox fake tiger power, because Xu Jingshan must have investigated clearly, and was sure that he was neither the king of Guangyang nor Wei Ye behind him, from beginning to end, Wang Quan himself took the risk and deceived him.

But according to Xu Jingshan's temperament, he called Wang Quan a minion, and after being fooled like this for a year or two, he must not be able to bear this breath.

"But master, the slave is watching, this thing is really too coincidental, right?" Zhao Ying still couldn't put her mind at ease, "The second girl said, Tian Xiang's words are really weird, how could she inexplicably target the county lord's jade pendant, from beginning to end, what she said, the second girl didn't believe a word, and then what?" Then the slave replied to the second girl's words, and the second girl became even more suspicious. You see, Wang Quan died at this moment, there is no proof of death, and many words can no longer be asked from his mouth, don't you think, in fact, Master Wei, is very suspicious? ”

Of course he thinks.

Li Yan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "You ask someone to go to Wei's house to keep an eye on it, when will Wei Ye return to the house, come back and tell me, it seems that you should have a good talk with Wei Ye." ”

If it was Wei Ye, what did he want to do, and what did he want to get, he exposed the events of the year, which came from this, but it was exposed, and it didn't benefit him in the slightest, what was he thinking? I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Jiaoluan Order", pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
