Wang Ye rested for a while, and his heart was agitated. Gao Bin, the prime minister of the city, is the same brother as him, and the two grew up together since childhood and have a close friendship. It's just that Gao Bin is also a hungry ghost, seeing a stunning woman like Yingzi, isn't it a sheep into the wolf's mouth? You can't be taken advantage of by him!

Wang Ye left in a hurry.

After a while, Wang Ye dressed in the clothes of a palace guard, rode a big horse, and slowly came to the gate of the prime minister's mansion in the city. The Prime Minister's Mansion is majestic. Two soldiers at the door, Long Gosensen. When they saw Wang Ye dressed like this, they all showed respect.

Wang Ye dismounted, and a soldier ran forward and led the horse.

"Please inform Xiangye, the palace guard Wang Ye is here."

Another soldier hurried inside, and after a while, he came out with a butler-like man. The man arched his hand: "The deacon of the Prime Minister's Mansion has seen the guards. Come in! ”

Wang Ye walked in front, followed by the deacon and the soldier leading the horse. The yard is not large, but it is obviously a front and back house. In the main hall of the first house, there is a place for errands, and the ground is facing away from this side, and Yingzi and two attendants are kneeling, and there are stakes on the side. But there was no one behind the low table in the hall.

"Please go this way." The deacon leads to the side room. Wang Ye was a little unhappy in his heart: the brothers of the same sect were obviously putting on an official show, and they didn't even come out to greet him in person. Coming to the door of the side room, the deacon arched his hand towards the closed room: "The palace guards are here." The door of the house slammed open, and Gao Bin hurriedly wore the back sleeve of his robe and greeted the door.

"Hey!" Gao Bin shouted, put on the last sleeve, and arched his hand again and again: "I don't know if my brother has arrived, I am late to greet you, forgive your sins, forgive your sins!" ”

Wang Ye knew that he was pretending. An old friend came to visit. Why change clothes?

The two of them were noisy, entered the house, sat down, and watched tea.

Gao Bin is a small man with strange eyes. If it weren't for his eccentricity, it would be impossible for King Wu to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility. This city is divided into two parts, large and small. The big city is now the royal city of King Wu. And the small town. It is now this city that is used to resist the Chu State and the Yue State.

Wang Ye knew that Gao Bin liked to be complimented, so he said: "My brother can be honored to serve as the city minister, which shows that his talent and virtue can reach the world, and my brother admires it." ”

Gao Bin was really proud, and laughed a few times: "Where, where, it's my king's love." I will do my best. Don't forget Wang En. When he stood up, he recited a poem: "Beat the drum and use the soldiers." The city of the earth is Cao, and I travel south alone. From Sun Tzu Zhong, Ping Chen and Song. I don't want to go, I'm worried. Where do you live? Lost his horse? What do you want? Under the forest. Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Yu sighed. No, I'm alive. ”

Wang Ye laughed and scolded in his heart: "What are you pretending to be the third grandson!" Superficial compliment: "Dude." I haven't seen you for a few years, but I am indeed heroic and talented, and my king is a man! I heard that you just caught three murderers? ”

"yes!" Gao Bin rolled his eyes, "What do you have to say?" ”

Wang Ye said nonsense: "The deceased Ma Er is from Meili. Just moved here, and the family has not yet arrived. When I was in Merry, I knew Ma Er well because of his strong physique and fierce nature. I want to train me to be a killer and the like, and I will use it for my king. I have come from the royal city today to investigate again and report to the king. My king's henchmen are in great trouble, you should know that there is a jealousy inside, and there is Chu Yue outside, and it is not enough to solve the worries of the future. And if you want to get rid of it, you have to do it like that. Who knows, as soon as I arrived, I knew that Ma Er was dead. I felt that something was important, so I came to meet my brother. ”

Gao Bin was so shocked that he jumped up: "It turns out that my brother is responsible for this heavy responsibility? This Ma Er is involved in national affairs? It's so complex that it can't be underestimated! Brother, please come with me, the real murderer is now above the lobby, and my brother can interrogate him personally. ”

"No, no, no!" Wang Ye hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay for me to interrogate, but I can't show my true face." Because I am now on a secret mission. Lower your voice: "You should know Gu Shujie, Lord Gu, right?" ”

"Then I know that Lu Dao is a special person around the king, and he has the power to kill and take away."

"I served under him."

Gao Bin was shocked and gave up his hand again and again.

Wang Ye said: "This matter is top secret. My brother is my chief, please keep it secret for me. ”

Gao Bin gave his hand again and again, and his restrained appearance made people laugh.

Wang Ye said: "These people are criminals, please leave them to me to deal with." Perhaps, they knew the intentions of our king, so they killed Ma Er in the name of provocation. If they are spies of the Yue State or the Chu State, or even people sent by Qingji, then they must be strictly investigated and must not be negligent. ”

"What my brother said is very true! You please, you please! In an instant, Gao Bin became very respectful, and consciously treated Wang Ye with the courtesy of his subordinates.

Wang Ye was amused in his heart, so he asked Gao Bin to take his clothes, dress up as a soldier, carry a sword at his waist, and his face was also retouched, and came to the lobby with Gao Bin. Gao Bin sat behind a low table, and he stood aside. Seeing that the people in the prime minister's mansion below looked at him with surprised eyes, they suddenly realized: Since he is a soldier, how can he carry a sword? It should be armed with a long ge, or a spear or something. But after thinking about it again, he is a palace guard, a secret agent under Gu Shujie, why are you afraid of these guys who can't be put on the table?

Thinking about it like this, I feel more relaxed.

In the middle of the lobby, Yingzi, the two attendants, and the witness stake all knelt there.

"Phew!" Gao Bin shouted. His voice was so sharp that he couldn't make a mighty sound, and it was barely difficult to call it to this extent. "The person who knelt in the hall was recruited from the truth, how to kill Ma Er! Who are you, and by whom? ”

The stake kowtowed in fright: "My lord, I have said it three times just now." The murderers of Ma Er are the three people kneeling on my left. The villains saw with their own eyes, and they used knives to kill. ”

Gao Bin screamed again, Wang Ye listened to his voice, like a mouse being stepped on its tail, and the cry it made was really deaf. "Tell me who did it among the three."

The stake didn't even dare to look at it, his face was facing forward, but he stretched out his hand to the left: "It's her, the woman." ”

Gao Bin shouted to Yingzi: "Bold woman! Recruited from the truth, for Ha to murder Ma Er? Ma Er is the pillar of the country, and he will definitely be used by my King Wu. But what is your intention in killing him? ”

Everyone in the hall, not only Yingzi, but also the subordinates of the Prime Minister's house. They were all shocked: this Ma Er is a real Diao people and bullies, how can he become a pillar of the country?

Yingzi slowly raised her head and looked directly at Gao Bin. She thought to herself, this dog officer. It's confusing! didn't investigate the scene of Ma Er's killing, didn't investigate the little gangsters who were still tied up in the pile, but they were talking nonsense here and blindly entangled, they should have killed him with a knife!

"My lord," Yingzi began, "I have said many times just now, we are all from the Song Kingdom, and we admire Wu Guotianwei. Willing to see the customs of Wu country, I just came here for a visit. Unexpectedly, Yang Zhu and others, instigated by Ma Er, actually wanted to kidnap us and others. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I came to save myself, and came to Ma Er with a sheep stake. I want to find out the reason and explain it. Unexpectedly. Ma Er was killed. Adults can ask those little brothers of the sheep stake, who are still tied up in a remote part of the city, and you will find out by asking. ”

"Phew!" Gao Bin screamed again, he wanted to shout torture, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he looked at Wang Ye. Wang Ye stepped forward. Look at Yingzi and the others one by one. He saw that Yingzi was wearing chains, and his face seemed to be more pretty, and all kinds of tenderness surged in his heart.

"Someone!" He shouted, "First put the prisoners and witnesses in prison." Wait for me to take a closer look! ”

The people below were stunned and looked at Gao Bin. Gao Bin also seemed to be a little unaccustomed for a while: This is my lobby, how can outsiders do it? But he suddenly understood, and waved his hand: "Listen to the guard!" ”

Yingzi and the others shouted in disbelieving, but they were still taken away, put in a prisoner car, and pulled to the prison on the edge of the city. Yingzi was puzzled: In recent years, I heard that the power of Wu has become stronger and stronger, and there are sages such as Wu Zixu and Sun Wu who preside over the government, and the king of Wu also obeys them, and the monarch and ministers are very harmonious. They have selected and appointed talents, their national strength has greatly increased, and the government is thriving, so why are they so confused in handling cases?

Put in prison, enter the cell, one for the sheep stake, one for Yingzi and his entourage. Separated by a fence, it can be connected with the sheep pile.

"Stake," Yingzi asked, "why do you judge the two of you?" Can you tell us about this? ”

The stake sighed deeply and shook his head.

No matter how Yingzi and his entourage persuaded him, he just didn't change his words.

Yingzi said: "I know that you have an unspeakable addiction. If you say it, you are afraid of causing death. If you do that, I won't have to testify in court. All you have to do is tell us the truth privately. When you get out of prison, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Ah, so many?" The stake is interested.

Yingzi said: "I mean what I say!" ”

The stake hesitated. After a while, he said, "I'm afraid you don't talk much." ”

Yingzi thought about it, and there was really nothing of value on him. The green ring, she remembered Tian Miaozi's words, and before she was arrested, she went to the edge of the city and hid it in a tree. She asked the attendant if there was anything of value. One of the retinues actually had a white jade amulet. Yingzi wanted to come over, and stretched out her hand through the crack in the fence, holding the jade in the palm of her hand.

"Stake, give you this, make a deposit. When I got out, I exchanged a hundred taels of silver for this jade. ”

The stake was tempted, took the jade, looked carefully, confirmed that it was a good product, and put it in the inner pocket. He was about to speak, but two jailers walked outside the cell, and he had to shut up. When the jailer saw that he looked different, he stopped and looked at him carefully.

"Hey! You come here. A jailer called him.

When the stake reached the fence, the questioning jailer slapped him in the face: "Be honest, did you hear that?" ”

The stake said obediently: "I am obedient, I must be obedient!" ”

The jailer smirked and left. The stake saw them go out of the door at the top, and then he took a long breath, turned to Yingzi and them, and was just about to speak, when suddenly his throat itched. He picked at his throat with his hands, but the itch became worse and worse.

"Ahh He felt that something was wrong, and shook his head vigorously, his eyes widened, and a look of horror gradually appeared on his face. He climbed to the edge of the fence adjacent to Yingzi, took out the white jade amulet from his inner bosom, stretched out his hand along the gap in the fence, and said in a barely made voice: "Save me, save ......"

Yingzi was shocked, and asked his entourage to take Bai Yu, take his hand, and give him a pulse. He didn't say anything more, and blood came out of his mouth. With a crooked neck, he collapsed in front of the fence. (To be continued......)
