In the palace

Wang Cen returned to the mansion with a bad face, and the housekeeper took Wang Cen's cloak on the side and said, "Master, Wang Mao is here, I asked him to wait in the study." “

"Hmm. Wang Cen nodded and entered the study without a sound.

As soon as he entered the study, his face was solemn, and he sat straight into the chair in the study. Wang Mao naturally saw Wang Yi's unkind expression, but he still took a step forward, after all, this matter, in Wang Mao's eyes, is very serious.

"Elder Wang, I was in the mansion just now, and I heard a very serious news, I don't know if Elder Wang heard about it. “

Wang Cen half-raised his head and said, "If what you said is true, Lord Jing is dead. I already know the news. “

"Elder Wang. Wang Mao's expression was hesitant, as if he didn't know whether to say the next words, but he still said: "Elder Wang, I always feel uneasy, all this happened as if someone had planned it." “

Wang Cen looked up at Wang Mao, looked tired, and said, "Who said it wasn't, maybe, we just jumped into a trap." And this trap is nitrate copper!"

Wang Mao seemed to have some eyes to dodge, and he continued: "As soon as Lord Jing dies, Wang Lao will be more or less suspicious, after all, Lord Jing has asked adults to drink together. And before his death, Master Jing didn't seem to have a close relationship with adults. “

"Yes, as long as you hide the nitrate copper and don't be discovered by others, the old man gritted his teeth, and naturally no one will know. Wang Cen said: "By the way, what about the outsider who took over the nitrate." “

"Placed outside the city. Wang Mao said.

Wang Cen nodded and said, "Well, I still don't think it's appropriate, so you can let people solve it." After all, the fewer people who know, the safer it is. If that day you don't have that brass, you won't have anything to do now. “

"Okay, Elder Wang. It's me who thinks about it, it's not thoughtful. Wang Mao asked with some hesitation: "My lord, who else did you see in the restaurant today?"

Wang Cen raised his head suspiciously, looked at Wang Mao, and said, "Who is it?"

"No, I'm just asking, have you met any suspicious people or Wang Yi or something. If it's okay, I'll quit first. Wang Mao hurriedly took a step back and bent over.

"Let's go down. Wang Cen said tiredly.

In just half a day, everything changed dramatically. Let Wang Cen have some brains. Lord Jing's death, as well as the people of Emperor Xixuan. All of this is clearly a trap. Let Wang Cen be in such a passive situation, Wang Cen can't help but think about it, what is the root of all this, maybe there is an undercover agent around him, Xi Xuan? If it really exists, the most suspicious thing is that Wang Mao, could it be him? It seems that he has to think of a way to test it. However, the top priority now is to get rid of the influence of nitrate copper on themselves. What to do?

Tomorrow, if the emperor asks the person who is being punished by Si Xingfu to find out all this, he will not be too dangerous, at least, he and Si Xingfu's Fu Si still have some friendship! All this should be settled in the morning tomorrow!

Sure enough, as Wang Cen expected, tomorrow morning, Long Xiang mentioned the murder of Lord Jing, and all the officials were extremely shocked, except for Si Xingfu's Fu Si. Wang Cen retracted his gaze and thought to himself, he really knew.

There was also something that Wang Cen expected, that is, the acting Fu Si of the soldier Fu fell into the hands of a squire who had never met before, instead of the usual deputy of Lord Jing.

Wang Cen naturally had a guess in his heart, presumably, Long Xiang had also asked the opinions of others, and this person was probably Wang Yi.

Wang Yi is a variable in Wang Cen's heart, when the Taiping was sealed, Wang Yi insisted on going to Fuzhou, but he didn't expect that now he has stayed in Anyang City for a long time, and he has been reused by the emperor. It seems that Wang Yi is also a person who cannot be underestimated.

After dispersing the court, Wang Cen deliberately walked with Fu Sitong of Xing Fu, hoping to ask something. But the secrets that Si Xingfu said were not much different from what Wang Cen knew. There were no clues, let alone evidence pointing to Wang Cen. However, the more this is the case, Wang Cen feels faintly uneasy.

After the court, Wang Yishu was not more than halfway through, a carriage hurriedly stopped at the door, and the surrounding soldiers looked at Hai Pingsheng who got off the carriage, and did not say anything, but Hai Pingsheng shouted excitedly: "Brother Wang, is Brother Wang here?"

Shouting all the way, he walked into the room.

Wang Yi raised his head and said, "Why is Brother Hai so excited?"

"As Brother Wang expected, the emperor asked me to act as the Fu Si. Brother Wang, you really predict like a god. “

"It's not me, it's the emperor. Since the emperor has asked you to take on this heavy responsibility, you have to do it well. However, at this time, the soldiers soothing the division is also a job on the cusp. Wang Yi's words made Hai Pingsheng's excited expression calm down a lot, nodded, agreed with Wang Yi's words, and said: "That's right, now that Jing Da has just left, and the matter of nitrate and copper, there is not a single word, it is really a headache." “

Wang Yi put down the book in his hand and said with a gentle smile: "This is also what I just wanted to say to Brother Hai." “

"What?"

"Good news. I suddenly thought of a place, a place where nitrate copper might be. “

"Oh, really, Brother Wang has to talk to me about it. “

"Then we'll have to go again, the warehouse we went to yesterday. “

"Seafood warehouse?" Hai Pingsheng asked hesitantly, "Haven't you been there?" and didn't see anything. “

"That's where we missed. “

"What?"

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Warehouse, official's warehouse." Wang Yi stood up and continued: "There are official warehouses and private warehouses in the warehouse, but we have forgotten that the officials' own private warehouses. “

"However, this is not very dangerous, and if it is found out, there may not even be a chance to defend itself. “

"First, it's safe there, no one will suspect the officials on weekdays, even the soldiers should not go to that place on weekdays. Second, many people do not have the right to open positions. Third, although it is an official's private warehouse, there are usually fixed vendors, and when buying and selling with officials, they will be put in directly, and they will not be closely monitored until they are taken out, so. “

Wang Yi's words made Hai Pingsheng suddenly wake up, nodded again and again, and said, "What Brother Wang said is that in the afternoon, I will immediately lead the troops to search. “

"Brother Hai. Wang Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Hai is new to officialdom, you forget what I just said, we have no power." Although we can't find it, we can go and see it, leave something, and let others know what we seem to have found. “

After Hai Pingsheng heard this, he nodded again and again and said, "Brother Wang is high, really high!"

Wang Yi looked at Hai Pingsheng and said, "Actually, Brother Hai should be the same as I thought." “

Hai Pingsheng smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.
