Chapter Twenty-Seven: Xun Cheng's Doubts
Wang Yi followed Xuanyuan Wenqi to the gate of the mansion and saw two people getting up and down from the sedan chair.
One of them is in his 30s, but his face is slightly pale, and Wang Yi estimates that this is the prefect Xun Cheng.
Behind Xun Cheng, a young man came down. He is handsome and sunny with a hint of softness, a straight figure, a graceful demeanor, a silver-white dress, and a piece of delicate jade around his waist. No matter where this image is placed, it can charm thousands of girls.
In contrast, although Wang Yi is good, he is much worse than this.
"Caomin Xuanyuan Wenqi, meet Lord Xun. Xuanyuan Wenqi clasped his hands into fists and said loudly.
"Meet Lord Xun. Wang Yi echoed.
Xun Cheng nodded, and asked with a face Xuanyuan Wenqi, "I don't know how the governor of the mansion is injured?"
Xun Cheng didn't introduce the young man behind him, nor did he greet Xuanyuan Wenqi, after all, he just came to see Xuanyuan Mao, and he didn't know Xuanyuan Wenqi.
"My father's injuries have stabilized, and the doctor said that he will be able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days. Xuanyuan Wenqi replied respectfully.
"Take me to see it. ”
"Yes. ”
Xuanyuan Wenqi just turned around and wanted to leave, when a guard beside him whispered something in Xun Cheng's ear.
"Oh?" Xun Cheng paused, then turned to Wang Yi and said, "You are Wang Yi?"
"Back to my lord, the grass people are Wang Yi. Wang Yi saw that Xun Cheng noticed him, and hurriedly stood up and replied.
"Speaking of which, I want to thank you very much. Xun Cheng laughed, and then said loudly: "Come, come into the house and say." ”
After Xun Cheng finished speaking, he nodded slightly to the young man behind him, and the two followed Xuanyuan Wenqi into the courtyard side by side, followed by Wang Yi and several family members.
When Xun Cheng saw Xuanyuan Mao, Xuanyuan Mao was getting up with the support of his subordinates, and when he saw Xun Cheng coming in, Xuanyuan Mao hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands, and said tremblingly: "The lower officials don't know that Lord Xun came in person, and he is disappointed, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”
Xun Cheng saw Xuanyuan Mao get up, hurriedly walked a few steps, dragged Xuanyuan Mao with one hand and said, "Ziqing doesn't need to be polite, you are injured, lie down quickly." ”
In this scene alone, it can be seen that although Xuanyuan Mao's official position is small, his relationship with Xun Cheng must be good. Now coupled with the grace of saving lives, it is just around the corner to want to fly Huang Tengda.
"Master Xie. ”
Xun Cheng helped Xuanyuan Mao lie down again, looked at Xuanyuan Mao's injuries carefully, chatted a few words, and told Lu Tingzhou to treat him seriously before leaving accompanied by Xuanyuan Wenqi, Wang Yi and others. The young man beside Xun Cheng always stood not far away, not saying a word, just silently observing something.
Leaving Xuanyuan Mao's bedroom, everyone moved to the main hall.
Xuanyuan Wenqi ordered his subordinates to serve refreshments, and Xun Cheng asked Wang Yi and Xuanyuan Wenqi to sit down, obviously having something to say. Sitting down was the handsome young man.
After taking a sip of tea, Xun Cheng said to Wang Yi with a smile: "I heard before this official came, and I told Lu Yuan where he was hiding this morning, and found the person in the dark room of his house, right?"
Everyone attaches great importance to Lu Yuan's case. Therefore, as soon as the incident happened, the entire case had already been handed over to Xun Cheng.
Xun Wei was very curious about Wang Yi, a person who could explain the cause of his illness in one sentence and appeared in time with the medicine. As a result, only a day later, when the whole city searched fruitlessly, Wang Yi was the first to discover Lu Yuan's hiding place and played a vital role in the search process, Xun Chengcheng became more curious about Wang Yi.
Xun Cheng is currently curious about a lot, although Wang Yi has played an absolutely positive role in this matter, but Xun Cheng is not entirely thinking about the good side.
The military system and official system of the ancient times are naturally different from those of later generations, and the current prefect Xun Cheng not only controls the administrative management of the entire Tongzhou City, but also has considerable military power. The power is by no means beyond the imagination of those civil officials in later generations.
The reason for this is that although the northern capital is strong, it is not stable. There are many internal worries and more external troubles, and every large city of sufficient size needs to have a certain degree of independent combat ability. Provincial capitals of 3-5 cities are to defend against all wars other than a non-all-out war in the general sense.
In other words, if it were not for the invasion of the whole country of the Southern Dynasties, or the large-scale invasion of foreign tribes, the small fights of more than 100,000 people would need to be solved by the provincial army itself, and there would be few reinforcements from the empire.
This is due to the fact that the empire as a whole is unstable. Although wars were more frequent in the frontier, the Forte was also unstable, and the foreigners would always find various ways to add many surprises to the peaceful life of the people of the Northern Capital.
In the minds of both officials and the people, this is not a pleasant experience.
When there is a lot of power, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of things to think about.
Xunfu is not just going to enter, especially after Xun Cheng fell into a coma, it was a state of complete martial law. Wang Yi, Xun Cheng had already done a simple investigation yesterday, but there was no information at all, as if he had just come to Tongzhou, except for the people in Xuanyuan Mansion, almost no one knew Wang Yi.
And the people of Xuanyuan Mansion actually knew about Wang Yi's existence for the first time.
So the question is, if Wang Yizhen came to Tongzhou on the first day, and no one reported the news, how could he know that he had the evil qi in his body, and how could he happen to have a demon exorcism pill in his hand?
And if someone reports the news, the person who reports the news must not be simple.
Why do you say that, because at that time, neither Lu Tingzhou, the best doctor in Tongzhou, nor Ban Liang, a monk in the 6-rank Moon Tribulation Period who was sitting in the Xunfu Mansion, had the ability to diagnose Xun Cheng's condition. And these two people already represented the top level of Tongzhou's medical community at that time.
The doctor doesn't know, and the immortal cultivator doesn't know, so how can an ordinary person diagnose Xun Cheng's cause without seeing Xun Cheng?
If a subordinate has this level, why does he still have to be a subordinate?
Unless the person who reported the news was Lu Yuan himself or the person who participated in the plot, or Wang Yi had been staring at Lu Yuan and happened to know the complete facts of the case.
In the first case, Lu Yuan himself cheated on himself, and the probability of occurrence is small, but it cannot be completely ruled out.
Others don't know that under Xun Cheng's investigation, it has been determined that Lu Yuan must be the person of the eldest prince Li Chengyu. If Li Chengyu really has some earth-shattering serial schemes, sacrificing a second-in-command Lu Yuan in Tongzhou to gain Xun Cheng's trust, it is not completely impossible.
And if the informant is the one who participated in the plot, this should also be taken into account.
If you look at it from this point of view, Wang Yi is very likely to be an important chess piece for the eldest prince to break into the Seven Princes, and he has to guard against it.
