Chapter 63: The Forbidden Zone
Su Yun came for Liuniang and Xiaoping.
Regardless of how many women Wang Jiulang has ruined for the time being, the ones directly related to this case are Liuniang and Xiaoping, Su Yun is worried that the Wang family, who is standing at the back of the Criminal Department, will attack them in order to cover up Wang Jiulang's crimes.
Previously, they were able to force Xiao Chengjin to admit his guilt without the slightest punishment, and it was very likely that they used Liuniang's matter to threaten him, otherwise such an upright and simple-minded man, even if he was really tortured, it was difficult to imagine that he would admit a crime that did not belong to him, which shows that the Wang family is very likely to know that Liuniang is one of the women who have been ruined by Wang Jiulang.
In modern times, there will be corresponding laws to protect these life-threatening witnesses, the most famous of which is the witness protection program of the U.S. federal government, but Su Yun doesn't know if there is a corresponding law here.
After Su Yun finished speaking, he saw Gu Junwei's phoenix eyes move slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was cold and sharp, Su Yun's heart tightened, and he saw that he glanced at himself, the coolness in his eyes seemed to dissipate a little, and he said softly: "You are right, the people I sent to follow Xiaoping in the morning intercepted a wave of pursuit of Xiaoping." ”
Su Yun frowned, and listened to him continue: "However, Wang Xiang has always judged the situation, he knows that I have sent someone to protect Xiaoping, and Liuniang's side, probably the people of Qianjiao Pavilion have been secretly protecting her before, and I know that I borrowed troops from His Royal Highness King Ning to hunt down the real criminal, so he knew that the general trend had gone, and he had entered Beijing overnight, and he estimated that he was looking for the saint to cry." ”
Su Yun was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Could it be that he took the initiative to confess this matter to the Holy Lord, and those sins committed by Wang Jiulang can be written off?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Su Yun secretly regretted that she had subconsciously investigated the root cause of everything, and when her son committed such a crime, Wang Xiang dared to go straight to the saint to ask for a confession Judging from leniency, he must have a bargaining chip for self-protection.
It's just that this bargaining chip must be related to the turbulent dark tide in the court and the struggle for power, she made up her mind not to set foot in this forbidden area, but she didn't control her curiosity for a while.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, she felt that Li Xian glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "That old fox is very good, and he is used to using the golden cicada to get out of his shell, as long as he pushes the guilt of his concubine on the people below, and then cries a few times with the saint, he doesn't know anything about what his son did, and he will be charged with not being educated at most, and he will go home and think about it for a few days." ”
As soon as Su Yun heard it, he thought about it carefully, and he understood that judging from the criminal psychology portrait she made for Wang Jiulang, he must have done this kind of evil thing to spoil women for more than a day or two, and the victims must be more than Liuniang and Xiaoping, and the reason why he has done those things and can still be free until now is that someone must be behind him to protect him.
And these things, whether Wang Xiang really knew nothing about the crimes committed by his son, could not have been done by himself himself, and they must have been carried out by his subordinates or forces attached to him.
Therefore, he is now pretending to be a father who only knows the mistakes committed by his children, and runs to apologize in front of the saint in shame, there is nothing wrong with him at all, at most, he has lost some of his own power, and as Li Xian said, he is just charged with "not raising and not teaching"!
However, things can never be so simple, as long as you think about it a little, if you can cover up Wang Jiulang's long-standing crimes at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how extensive the force should be! At least the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Shangjing Yamen, three departments directly related to the management of public security, could not escape this circle of influence.
Thinking about it like this, it's chilling, the other party is just a prime minister, and in Shangjing, the center of national power, he has such a wide range of power, it's not an exaggeration to say that he covers the sky with one hand! This is a classic drama of the prime minister controlling the government!
If she was not mistaken, after this night, the imperial court in Shangjing would definitely carry out a blood exchange.
It's no wonder that Wang Xiangming knew that his opponent was Gu Junwei, and he was going to meddle in this case, and he was not willing to take the move of abandoning the child until the last step.
Thinking about it further, even if he can push the pot to the people below him, it is difficult to ensure that the saint will not embarrass him, after all, no matter how he says, if Wang Jiulang is not his son, those people will not protect him without distinguishing black and white, it is very likely that Wang Xiang still has some chips in his hands, and the saint will definitely open up a bargaining chip for him.
Although the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Su Yun's face was only faint, and he only said "um" and didn't say anything more.
Gu Junwei looked at Su Yun's slightly flashing eyes, she was amused and wanted to sigh in her heart, and there was a faint urge to rub her head, her fingers moved slightly, and she finally endured it, and smiled at her slightly: "So, you don't have to worry about what the people of the Wang family will do again, they are now more afraid of this matter making waves again than anyone else." ”
Su Yun raised his eyes and looked at Gu Junwei's phoenix eyes with a faint smile, feeling awkward for no reason, he always felt that he seemed to be seen through by him again, he couldn't help pursing his lips, and said a faint "um", and then excused himself to be tired, and went to the carriage to rest first.
Looking at the back of the woman leaving without looking back, Li Xian shook his head and said funny: "You are a terrible wife, you look transparent, but you don't say anything, you look like you are afraid of it, it's really sad, we just want her to be suspicious?" ”
I just don't know how much she thinks of it.
Gu Junwei put the scripture in his hand back on the shelf, and said with a faint smile: "This is her weakness, she can easily see through the people around her, but she is also easy to be seen through." ”
Li Xian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled evilly, "Oh, you look very experienced, then you should also see it, the one in your family doesn't have the slightest thought about you, maybe once she knows your thoughts, she will avoid it today." ”
Gu Junwei's body stiffened slightly, a trace of chagrin and depression of being poked and scarred rose in his heart, and his phoenix eyes looked at someone who was smiling poorly, and he couldn't laugh anymore, raised his hands in surrender, and then sighed secretly, and said lightly: "The coming day is long." ”
Anyway, the person he decided would never let her escape.
Although it is rare to see his cousin deflated, Li Xian thinks that as a good cousin, it is not good to keep sprinkling salt on his cousin's wound, so he clasped his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and leaned on the shelf behind him leisurely, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he took the initiative to change the topic, "Speaking of which, the old fox has been really unlucky recently, and he hasn't finished wiping his buttocks, and something happened again, so I don't have to go to him to trouble, maybe he has been too arrogant these years, and God can't stand it." Although he single-handedly got those people into Shangjing, but people died in Shangjing, I have to ask you Dali Temple to come forward, I have a little inquiry, the case is very strange and treacherous, you may be able to talk to your family, see what she can see. ”
Gu Junwei squinted at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised an arc without any emotion, and said lightly: "I won't talk to her about this, and you don't want to say something in front of her." ”
Although the tone is quite indifferent, the meaning revealed is clearly irrefutable.
Li Xian opened his eyes to look at the person beside him, and smiled silently.
Men, it's all like this, once you have a certain woman in your heart, you will want to keep her firmly under your own side of the world, so that she will not be worried, and she will not be displaced.
But whether the woman would appreciate it or not, I said something else.
