Chapter Ninety-Five: Dissecting the Subtlety
Youwei returned to the room and told Yu Yao everything that Mrs. Zhao said.
Wen Cang also listened attentively on the side.
Yu Yao said: "This Fan Gongzi has been famous since he was a child, but I have never heard that he knows martial arts." ”
Youwei said: "Could it be that he, like me, wants to protect himself, so he doesn't dare to show it easily?" ”
Yu Yao said: "Such a talent, who doesn't want to serve the country, but relies on his own skills to do the business of stealing incense and jade, which is really sighing." ”
Wen Cang said: "Is this Mrs. Zhao's words credible?" ”
Yu Yao said: "Since she even said this most unspeakable private thing in order to clear her suspicion, it must not be fake." ”
Wen Cang said: "Then what are we going to do next?" ”
Yu Yao said to Wen Cang: "For today's plan, the only way to break through is from Fan Gongzi." You are a living person in the capital, and not many people recognize you, so it seems that now you are going to be wronged to follow this Fan Zhongwen secretly. Hopefully there will be clues. ”
Wen Cang said: "Okay." Since Fan Zhongwen's skills have not been revealed, he must not be very clever, so it should not be a problem for me to follow him. ”
Yu Yao said: "You are only half right. He can hide from everyone, including me, either, as you said, his martial arts are just mediocre, or he is an absolute master who can change his breath. You must not be careless. ”
Wen Cang said: "Brother Yu is right, I will be more careful." ”
Yu Yao said: "Since Mrs. Jia will not choose to commit suicide, someone must have killed her." Tell me, who could it be? ”
Wen Cang said: "You asked me to follow Fan Zhongwen, isn't he a major suspect?" ”
Youwei said: "I think You Yushi is very suspicious, he has been hiding his wife's death at first, and then he can't hide it before he mourns, and it seems that he doesn't want people to know the cause of her death." ”
Yu Yao nodded and said, "That's reasonable." is not on good terms with her husband's family, which should not be the reason why she is looking for death, but the reason why she throws herself into Fan Zhongwen's arms. But since she already has sustenance, why should she seek death? Even if there is a rival in love like Mrs. Zhao, it's not like you don't look up and look down, just hide it. Therefore, at present, it is very likely that You Yushi found out about her and Fan Zhongwen, and there was no face to live after the East Window incident, so he sought death, or simply You Yushi didn't want to publicize his family's ugliness, so he simply killed her. ”
Wen Cang said: "Since it's none of Fan Zhongwen's business, why do you want me to follow him?" ”
Yu Yao said: "Others can't wait for everyone to boast of their civil and military skills, but what is he doing to hide his martial arts in a dignified manner?" There must be something we didn't expect. ”
Youwei said: "That's right! A few days ago, people in the capital went to rouge to get drunk and join in the fun, breaking through the level and answering questions. And he Wen Neng was appointed by the emperor as a tanhua, and Wu Neng sneaked into someone else's house, why didn't he go? ”
Yu Yao said: "Yes, judging from his behavior, he is definitely not a bad woman." Since the wind spreads that the cold rain girl is beautiful and fragrant, doesn't he want to see it? ”
Wen Cang said: "But the people he took the initiative to hook up with are some half-old, maybe he is not interested in young women like Miss Hanyu?" ”
Yu Yao smiled: "Then we have to wait for you to tell us after a few nights of hard work." If I was right, there must be someone else besides the two ladies we know so far. ”
So after this day, Wen Cang went out day and night, and quietly followed Fan Zhongwen.
Youwei and Yu Yao still have a normal routine every day, so they haven't seen Wen Cang's face for several days.
In these days, the good news of the frontier frequently came to the capital, and the emperor not only conquered Kuizhou in one fell swoop, but also successively captured Qinzhou, Chengzhou and Jiezhou. At present, the emperor himself is leading a large army to Fengzhou, and it may not be long before Fengzhou will be included in the territory of the Great Zhou.
In the past few days, there has also been a small incident, Lord Yin's flying pigeon biography brought the emperor's message, asking Yu Yao to persuade Wen Cang to work for the Great Zhou, if the emperor can clear He Tianyi before the emperor returns to the court, both of them will be rewarded.
Yu Yao is not greedy for an official promotion or any reward, he is now a relative of the emperor and the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and he is already very noble.
But he wanted to work hard to earn a good way out for Wen Cang.
Wen Cang is now in a foreign country, with an empty skill, if there is nowhere to show it, it is useless.
On this day and night, Yu Yao personally took out the gilded silver tune, put the tea powder into it, added condiments, put boiling water, adjusted it into a paste, and then added boiling water to make a tea soup for Youwei to drink.
"What does the entrance think?" Yu Yao asked with a smile.
Youwei tasted a product and said, "Your craftsmanship is naturally not bad, but after spending so much effort, it is better to eat a piece of sauced beef." ”
Yu Yao said: "You have to learn these one by one, if the emperor wins the victory in the future, he may call you to the palace for a reunion on a whim." Even in the past few days, the queen mother, as your imperial sister-in-law, may also announce that you will be summoned to the palace. Although these are all subtle skills, they will not be more difficult than the Thirty-six Path Willow Leaf Hexin Sword Technique, but you must also cheer up and remember it well. ”
Youwei interrupted him and said, "I remember, I remember, you mention your life every day, can I still forget?" ”
Yu Yao continued: "Even if you don't enter the palace, you will associate with those officials and dependents, if you show your feet for a while, it will be a big matter of small life!" ”
Youwei said impatiently: "I know, let's learn these today, and I'll talk about the rest tomorrow, okay?" ”
Yu Yao said: "During the day, because there are many people, I am already up to you." In the evening, when Xi'er and Hazy'er have also rested, I have time to teach you this, and you can try to do it again. ”
Youwei only looked forward to eating supper and practicing early, and didn't want Yu Yaofei to let her study hard and practice some tea and other elegant things, so she was extremely reluctant in her heart.
At this moment, the door creaked open.
Wen Cang, dressed in night clothes, flashed in, and quickly closed the door.
Yu Yao and Youwei didn't have time to talk to him, but they heard Wen Cang cough twice in a hoarse throat, and raised the tea bowl to drink.
Yu Yao said: "You slow down, it seems that you have been sleeping in the open for the past few days, and you have suffered a lot." ”
Wen Cang drank the tea soup, slowed down, and said, "It's nothing to suffer a little hard. After a few days of secret investigation, I finally gained something, so I hurriedly came back to tell you that I knew. ”
Yu Yao moved a crescent stool and asked Wen Cang to sit down.
The crescent stool was thick and richly decorated, and even the small legs were decorated with detailed carvings and paintings. Between the legs of the stool, there are also gorgeous colored tassels.
Youwei also got up and brought a fur felt and spread it on the crescent stool as a cushion.
