Chapter 844: Wen Qing Returns
That being said, there are some things that are still unexpected.
The little eunuch who came to deliver a message to Ye Yuanpei that night didn't go back.
A group of six of them, after delivering the message from the General's Mansion, they looked for the same way back, but at midnight, Ling Tiancheng didn't wait for anyone.
Naturally, I had to send someone to the general's mansion to ask.
Only then did I know that something had happened.
That night, the forbidden army was sent to look for it, and in a remote abandoned house in the city, the bodies of several people were found, all of whom were wiped on the throats with a knife, and the killings were clean and neat, and there was not even a painful look on the faces of several people.
As soon as Ye Yuanpei saw the corpse, he said, "There are a lot of people here." ”
All the eunuchs had one expression, indicating that the other party was moving their hands in unison, so they didn't have time to react at all.
If it was one person, no matter how fast it was, it would be impossible to kill seven people at the same time.
In this capital, in addition to Qiu Lingyin, in addition to the eccentric four princes, there are many people who don't know how many are Qiu Gang.
I don't know when they got in.
"Maybe it's not his people, but people with ulterior motives who use him." This is what Zhuang Siyan said.
At this time, in the Xuan Palace, Ling Tiancheng, Zhuang Siyan and Ye Yuanpei were all there.
In response to the killing of the eunuch, the three of them were not only shocked, but also angry.
They are all innocent people who have no ability to fight back, they say they will kill them, although they are the eunuchs who killed, they hit Ling Tiancheng in the face.
At the same time, another thing is verified.
They really didn't have the ability to do anything in the palace, and the original dispersal of these words was just to divert their attention.
There are also the protons of the Tianyan Kingdom, I am afraid that they also released smoke bombs.
Thinking through this layer, Ling Tiancheng and the others quickly adjusted their strategy.
Qiu Lingyin is not the point, and the prince of Tianyan Kingdom is not the point, there are other people in the capital who want to make waves and disturb the peace here.
The Praetorian Guard was mobilized to strengthen the fortifications in the city.
Ye Yuanpei himself also sent elite soldiers from his house, as well as a team of soldiers and horses stationed outside the city, patrolling day and night.
As they had calculated, they must have been waiting for some time.
This time may be of great significance to Ling Tiancheng, or to the people of the entire capital, or it may be a major festival or something.
They are going to do it at this point in time, and then disrupt everything in the capital.
Zhuang Siyan calculated carefully and found that there were no special commemorative days recently, not even a festival on the agenda.
She said a little strangely, "Didn't they want to do it recently?" ”
Ye Yuanpei immediately denied it: "Impossible, if they don't want to do it now, they won't be exposed now."
They used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and moved our focus to the palace, so as to attack the capital.
But if too much time is given, we can find out what is wrong with this, then don't they dig their own pits and bury themselves? ”
It makes sense, such a big deal is definitely not for them to find out.
The three of them sat in silence for a while, so far in addition to guarding Han Ying's place, there was also a search for suspicions in the city, and they couldn't think of a better way for the time being.
After Ye Yuanpei left the palace, Zhuang Siyan asked Ling Tiancheng: "You haven't spoken just now, but what did you think?" ”
He shook his head: "It's just that I suddenly remembered Wen Qing, they don't know what to do now." ”
Speaking of this, even Zhuang Siyan was worried for a while.
Wen Qing and Mi Yueqing have not heard from them for a long, long time, and they originally sent someone to investigate, but now that there is such a thing in the capital, they have put down the matter on his side.
Ling Tiancheng said: "In the past, when there were things in the capital, he did it, and he did it very beautifully, which shared a lot of worries for me.
originally thought that now that the country and the people are safe, he will also let him rest well and live his own life.
But I didn't expect it to be like this in the end. ”
Zhuang Siyan naturally knew about the matter between Wen Qing and him, and she herself felt that Wen Qing was really a person who understood righteousness and valued love and righteousness.
If nothing else, the act of giving up the throne is a head above everyone.
There have been many princes in history, who are obviously incapacitated, but they insist on being the emperor, how can anyone give the emperor to his brother because he feels that he is incompetent?
And he really sacrificed himself, changed his name and surname, and disappeared into invisibility.
For Mitsuki Kiyoshi too.
In order to treat her, there are no regrets about what she has done.
Such a person has nothing to do with it, and when he thinks about it occasionally, he will admire him.
Zhuang Siyan used to mess with him a lot, and in terms of relationship, he was not as good as Ye Yuanpei, and it was not even as fun as Tang Geng's stickers.
But I still like this person very much.
The two of them talked about Wen Qing and inquired about some news about Jincheng, but after there was no progress, this matter could only be put on hold for the time being.
However, Zhuang Siyan received a message from the detective agency that day.
Since she gave birth to her second child, and it was even more inconvenient to leave the palace, the affairs of the detective agency were really not taken care of, and all of them were handed over to Ji Xiaotian.
She rarely asks what cases are being investigated there now, and how they are doing.
Ji Xiaotian didn't come into the palace to disturb her like in the past.
At noon that day, Qing Ze suddenly entered the palace, saying that he had something important to report, and Zhuang Siyan was still a little strange.
However, the detective agency was set up by her, and she was also her own son, so she quickly asked someone to invite Qing Ze in.
"What happened?" Zhuang Siyan asked.
Qing Ze took out a piece of cloth directly from his arms and asked the palace maid to present it.
A white cloth, triangular in shape, dyed black at the edges, with the word "heaven" written in large red ink in the middle.
Zhuang Siyan looked at the cloth in his hand for a while before he remembered: "Isn't this the banner of the Tianwen Sect in the past?" Where are you from? ”
Qing Ze reported truthfully: "When we were investigating a small case recently, we accidentally caught a person and searched him out. ”
Although the incident of Tianwenzong back then was very noisy, it also implicated many people from south to north, especially among the common people.
But in the end, the results were unsatisfactory, Mi Yuexiang, and some people from different races, as the ringleaders, were killed by Ye Yuanpei, and then tracked down, but there was no more.
Now that he suddenly saw Tianwen Sect again in the capital, Zhuang Siyan had a feeling of going back in time.
She asked Qing Ze: "What about Ji Xiaotian, why didn't he come to the palace?" ”
Qing Ze was a little embarrassed, his mouth moved a few times, and then he said: "He said that you handed him several things, but he didn't do it well, and this time it was the ...... of Tianwen Sect, and he felt that he didn't have the face to come to see you." ”
When he was young, Tiantian's parents were in the Tianwen Sect, so he also made a family ruined, and later followed Zhuang Siyan.
Speaking of it now, it's not that he doesn't have the face to see her, but Zhuang Siyan doesn't have the face to see him.
I always feel that I owe this child too much, but I can't make up for it.
After thinking about it, he still asked Qing Ze: "What case are you investigating, will you find such a person, where did you find it?" ”
"Near the South City Gate, there was a conflict between two families, one lost something, and it was suspected that the other family stole it, so they asked us to check whether the thing was in their house."
"And what happened?"
"No, the family is very poor, there is no family at home, and the things lost are relatively valuable, if they are really sold or something, they should be able to be found, but there is no such thing."
"Where did the people from the Tianwen Sect catch it, and are they two too?"
"No, it was at a market at the South City Gate, and we went there to find out if there was a possibility of selling, and then this man ran out in a panic, bumped into us, and when he helped him up, he panicked even more, and dropped the flag."
South City Gate?
The south city gate is the main gate of Beijing, the place is very lively, the merchants gather, there is a stall in three steps on the street, and a shop in five steps.
Many people who come to the capital like to go there to hang out, and Zhuang Siyan used to go there often.
There are a lot of fish and dragons, and if someone really mixes in it, it is not easy to be detected.
"What about that man, did you get anything out of him?" Zhuang Siyan asked Qing Ze.
"No, he won't say anything, and it's useless to use some minor punishments."
The people of Tianwen Sect are psychologically like they have been tricked, and most of them are no longer normal people's thinking, so it is really difficult to get them to open their mouths with torture.
Zhuang Siyan wanted to go out to see the person, but with the current situation, Ling Tiancheng was afraid that he would not let her out.
"In this way, you send people to Dali Temple and hand them over to Tang Geng."
Qing Ze should go down.
When he left the palace, Zhuang Siyan immediately went to find Ling Tiancheng.
"There's something wrong with this, although we didn't clean up the people in the Tianwen Sect back then, the capital is very strict, and it shouldn't happen again in a short period of time."
She analyzed: "The timing of the appearance is too coincidental. ”
Ling Tiancheng nodded: "It's really strange, Tang Geng was the main force to deal with the Tianwen Sect back then, and this matter should be handed over to him It should be progressed soon, let's wait and see." ”
Before the two of them could speak, Li Fu's voice came from outside in a hurry.
After entering the inner hall, no one looked up, and knelt on the ground with a "plop": "Emperor...... Your Majesty, he ...... He's back. ”
"Who? What are you panicking about, after so many years, haven't you learned to be steady? ”
"It's not that the minions are unstable, it's really ......"
Zhuang Siyan couldn't help it anymore: "Who the hell is it?" ”
"Wen ...... Mr. Wen. ”
Wen Qing?
Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan stood up at the same time and walked outside.
Because of Wen Qing's special identity, he always came in secretly in the palace, either in disguise, or in the middle of the night, in short, he had his own way to come in at any time and see Ling Tiancheng.
Li Fu is also the person who knows him the most in the inner palace.
Li Fu also knows the most about his secrets.
This time he disappeared, how Ling Tiancheng was looking for him, and what the result was, Li Fu also knew it, so he was excited when he saw him come back at first glance.
When Ling Tiancheng and the two came out, they saw a person wearing the clothes of a eunuch, with his head down, standing there.
When he heard the footsteps, he didn't lift a minute, but lowered his head more fiercely and took a step back.
Ling Tiancheng spoke: "Wen Qing? ”
As soon as these words came out, the standing eunuch raised his head.
But the two did not speak here.
Ling Tiancheng walked inside, Wen Qing followed him, and soon re-entered the inner hall.
Zhuang Siyan confessed to Li Fu outside, no matter who came to see the emperor, he would let him wait outside.
Li Fu hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the slave understands." ”
