Chapter 16: Surfacing

"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, open the door!" Wen Yeting stood at the door of Wei Yun's room and shouted.

After a while, Wei Yun put on his coat sleepily and asked sleepily, "Brother Wen, I slept soundly, what is your urgency?" ”

Wen Yeting closed the door, pulled Wei Yun to sit down, and said, "I'll make a long story short, the evidence they found in Huajian can show that the poisonous substances in Jinyun City are circulating, and this matter may be related to the Foreign Trade Department." But now they only have physical evidence, and when they wanted to collect some more evidence step by step, they were exposed. So we discussed, if you take the physical evidence back to Qindu, and Qin Du directly comes forward to deal with this matter, is it more appropriate? ”

"Wait a minute, I'm confused by what you said, how could the girl from the flower girl go to investigate the broken intestine grass? What do I need to do now? Wei Yun was confused.

"Between the flowers, they came to Jinyun City and inadvertently found the broken intestine grass, you also know that they have a lot of research on floral art, know the stakes and interests, I wanted to investigate secretly, how do I want to be detected by the Foreign Trade Department. I think if you go and show them your intentions now, they will be willing to cooperate with you to solve this matter, and I won't say much about it. After Wen Yeting finished speaking, he looked at Wei Yun.

Wei Yun thought for a while, and replied with a hint of sincerity in his firmness: "Let's go!" ”

But he thought in his heart, Qin Capital and Shuzhou for a hundred years, I am afraid that it will be ruined, he originally only wanted to believe that this matter was done by some outlaws, but he never thought that it was really related to the Foreign Trade Department of Shuzhou, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

After Wei Yun entered the door, he said: "Now that the matter has come to this, I will tell the truth." I was originally sent by Qin Duqin, and I was ordered to come to Jinyun City to investigate the matter of the broken intestine grass, and Brother Gangwen has already informed me of the ins and outs. I know that the Department of Foreign Trade is definitely searching everywhere now, and if you continue to follow up on this matter, I am afraid that it will be full of thorns. And this matter is my responsibility, if you don't mind handing over the broken intestine grass you find to me, I will immediately go back to the Qin capital to report, and then the Qin capital will send someone to deal with it, so you don't have to participate. What's more, this is the disaster of my Qin Capital, if you are implicated, I can't bear it, and I feel guilty. ”

Yu Ming pondered for a while after hearing this, and then said, "I'll leave it to you, but how to prove your identity?" ”

After hearing this, Wei Yun took out the token that his father gave him at that time from his waist and said, "This is granted by His Majesty himself, and there is no falsehood." Madam, the people of Qindu have been bitter for a long time, and if this poison is not removed, they will eventually die. I pledge with my life, and I will never reveal a trace of your news, the heart of the fist, the sun and the moon can be seen. ”

"Okay," said Yu Ming, who took the broken intestine grass and handed it to Wei Yun, "Then please ask Qin Du to get rid of this scourge, the common people are not guilty, and if you need our help to detoxify in the future, you can also say it directly." ”

Wei Yun bowed, and after saying goodbye, he hurried back to the Qin capital.

After he left, Wen Yeting's heart was much lighter, and he was about to say goodbye, so that they could rest quickly after a sleepless night.

Yuming stopped him and thanked: "Thank you Childe today, we are inconvenient to travel recently, and please don't associate with us for the time being, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"The juniors understand, Madame doesn't have to worry." Turning to the flowers again, "Hello, recuperate." With that, he went straight back to the inn to rest.

"Chaoyan, you go and rest for a while, and then go outside the city to find Qingke and Xiyan, and tell them to stop following the caravan and come back quickly. We should not have too much contact with the outside world recently, and wait for Qin Du to come before acting according to the plan. Yu Ming commanded, nodded towards Yan and went to rest.

Then Yuming helped her lie down and treated her wound again, but fortunately, it was cleaned up in time and there was no major problem. sighed: "Auntie can't stand you, I underestimate them too much." ”

She shook her head and comforted: "It's okay, it's just a little skin injury, and it can be regarded as a blessing for Seon's loss." ”

After hearing this, Yuming stroked her head and left to let her recuperate.

"Why don't you tell Wen Yeting that the caravans related to this poison are all from Yudu."

Hearing Huajian's question, she blinked her eyes and replied with some hesitation: "Do you remember that I once said that it was recorded in the history books that Wang Miao's death was due to the war between Qin and Henan?" I've pieced together the fragments of these things now, and I'm afraid this broken intestine grass is the fuse. ”

"So, you can't trust him."

She was told by Hanama that in the face of war, nothing can be trusted.

Hua Jian continued: "I understand that as a general of Qin Capital, your heart is naturally towards Qin Capital. But I believe that Wen Yeting, if he knew that Yu Du did such a shameful thing, he would definitely do everything possible to correct this upside down. Even if he is the prince of Yudu, he is also a common man and a man of the world. ”

She didn't say anything more, just bowed her head and said nothing. She has seen too many people on the battlefield in the past who do not hesitate to play with people's hearts for the sake of interests, and no feelings and justice are worth mentioning under the coveting of the word "profit".

Some people say that the mountains of the world are more precipitous, and who knows that people's hearts are even more dangerous than the mountains.

The head of the Foreign Trade Department here went to Muhua Palace early in the morning to meet the state lord Wang Miao, and reported the events of last night truthfully: "The state lord, his subordinates are incompetent, and they didn't find the secret agent. ”

Wang Miao fiddled with the blooming wood hibiscus and asked, "Since you haven't found it, why don't you continue to look for it, what are you doing here?" ”

The chief secretary hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Governor, the minister expected that the spy would be able to retreat in the midst of the heavy surrounding, I am afraid that he will not be an idle person." Besides, we searched for him all night yesterday, and there was no trace of him, so it is estimated that there are other people secretly helping. The minister was worried that Qin Du would definitely come to settle accounts in the future, and he was terrified. ”

Wang Miao crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked contemptuously, "So, if Qin Du sends someone here, are you planning to let me go and confess?" ”

The chief secretary replied tremblingly: "I don't dare to be humble, I just came to ask the state lord if I need to start preparing how to deal with Qin Du." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own countermeasures, step down!" After the chief secretary left, he said to the person beside him, "Xuanju, in the past few days, you should first go and dispose of the two Yudu caravans that have come to Jinyun City. When the people sent by the Qin capital are about to arrive in Jinyun City, you can go and imprison his family. Remember to be thoughtful. ”

"The subordinates understand. After Qin Du sent people to Jinyun City, did he need to stop it secretly? ”

Wang Miao picked up the reamer, cut off the wood hibiscus flower branches that bloomed just right, and said, "No need. Since Qin Du knew about this, he would sooner or later ask Jinyun City for an explanation, and I would give him an explanation. If this matter becomes too tricky for Qin Du, it will appear that there are many forces behind it, and he will not easily believe that it is only the head of the Foreign Trade Department who did it. With the century-old friendship between my Shuzhou and Qindu, even if he suspects that the chief secretary is colluding with Yudu, he will not suspect that it is me who is the mastermind of this matter, we just need to appease Yudu when the time comes, and let the others suspect on their own. ”

"Okay, my subordinates will do it."

"Wait, did the beggar who sent the letter to the princess recruit earlier?" Wang Miao stopped Tao Xuanju and asked.

"No, although he followed him to find the hiding place of the princess's people, they had no choice but to escape. The beggar has always denied that they have contacted him, so there is no news yet. ”

"Okay, then pull out his tongue and let it go. Since you don't want to say it, it's useless to keep it, so it's better to throw it out as bait. Wang Miao ordered, and Tao Xuanju retreated.

In the early morning, not long after the chief secretary left the mansion, Tao Xuanju led a team to raid his house and kidnap his family, and this scene was in full view of Wen Yeting, who was squatting.

Wen Yeting thought to himself, under such a blue sky and white sun, if he can enter and exit a court official's house in a grand manner, this person must be ordered by the state lord. From this point of view, the head of the Foreign Trade Department is particularly critical at this moment, if I kidnap him, then Wang Miao will definitely send the shadow guard to secretly rescue him, otherwise there is no proof of death, and it will be difficult to convince Qin Du.

Thinking of this, Wen Yeting decided to strike first, to rob him before they could capture the master. So he disguised himself, used the light skill of stepping on the snow without a trace, jumped to the Foreign Trade Division, and waited for the opportunity on the roof.

Sure enough, someone came to ventilate and report the accident, informing the chief of the family of the accident.

The chief secretary stumbled and was about to escape in the carriage at the back door of the foreign trade department, Wen Yeting took the opportunity to hide in the carriage first, and after the chief boss got into the car, he put a dagger on the neck of the chief division and said, "Don't make a noise, I can save your life." ”

Wen Yeting instructed the groom to drive the carriage to a hidden mountain country, and then let the groom leave on his own.

The chief priest begged in a panic: "Daxia, no matter who sent you, please let me go, I still have to find a way to save my family." ”

Wen Yeting smiled contemptuously and replied, "You are very affectionate. You don't have to worry, as long as they don't find you, they won't do anything to your family, after all, you and I both know that you are the person they want, and your family is just a bargaining chip. I robbed you, not because I was entrusted by someone, but because I wanted to seek revenge on the Shadow Guard, and I happened to know that they were looking for you, so I just pushed the boat down the river. So you can rest assured that I have no grievances with you, and I will not hurt your life, but I just need you to cooperate with me to lure them out, and then you can come and go freely, and it has nothing to do with me. But tell me, how did you get them out? ”

The chief priest wept bitterly and replied incoherently: "The lord of the state has promised me that if something happens, he will find a scapegoat. I'm going to go to the lord of the state, and I've already thought of a complete plan......"

"Then did you ever think that the scapegoat he said was you." Wen Yeting replied coldly.

"Nope! No way! Isn't he afraid that I will tell the whole story in front of Qin Du? At that time, not only me, but the entire Shuzhou, and even Yudu, will be in chaos. The chief secretary said with a suffocation.

Wen Yeting was shocked in his heart, how could this matter involve Yu Du, he was pondering, the chief secretary reacted that he was panicked just now, and begged again: "Hero, I don't know what grievances you have with the Shadow Guard, but this matter is not trivial, you let me go, and you also give yourself a way out." That shadow guard is not an ordinary man, not to mention that you are outnumbered, which is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car. ”

"You don't have to worry about me, you can worry about yourself first." Wen Yeting replied, thinking that this chief was really false and wronged, and it seemed that he couldn't say anything from his mouth. After knocking him unconscious, he locked him in the carriage and waited for the arrival of the Shadow Guard.
