Chapter 368: Snowy Night, Mysterious Third Party
What? Wang Xuan's eyebrows moved, and he slowly picked up the teacup,
"Where did the news come from?" He didn't think Tu Su Ziyuan was lying. The courtyard of the deep mansion is bright on the outside, but filthy on the inside, and he has heard many things for a long time, which is not surprising.
Tu Su Ziyuan is aspiring to the position of the head of the family, and he doesn't even want to get the notoriety of harming his brothers, not to mention this kind of thing where idle people in the market chew the root of people's tongues.
He was only concerned about one thing, and he couldn't speak. Originally, seeing that the king of Qinzhou had something to ask for, he was ready to ask for a thin face at that time, even if he couldn't find out the real murderer, he could also use the name of a demon to fool in at will, and all parties had an explanation.
But now, I can't even mention it.
"The news is from a witch doctor in the city." Tu Su Ziyuan said in a deep voice: "Someone once asked him for help in refining the elixir that concealed the ghost fetus, and asked that there be no abnormalities within three months, and he could be defeated at any time, and it happened that the person was from the palace." ”
"There is also a maid who was placed in the palace by my Tu Su family revealed that the king of Qinzhou has not favored this concubine for a year, but the concubine suddenly has a thirsty appetite and eats more, and she has to eat wind snake meat every meal, which is the elixir." Wang Xuan thoughtfully,
"What about people?" Tu Su Ziyuan shook his head and said, "All dead." ”
"I have asked Ziming, on the day of the princess's birthday, he happened to be in Anqing City, so he came to the door to send congratulatory gifts, and after a few drinks with the guests, he was unconscious, and after waking up, he was already in the concubine's boudoir, the other party was naked, his throat bone was broken, and he was obviously strangled to death."
"There should be two parties to this matter, a certain son in the palace blames Ziming, and then the person who resells the Earth Yuan Thunder Fire Bead in the mountain city takes advantage of the situation to throw the pot, forming a dead end." Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly,
"Brother Ziyuan is not honest, who is shaking the pot in Shancheng, I'm afraid you know clearly." Tu Su Ziyuan was silent for a moment,
"It's the brother of the Lie Ancestor, so this matter can't be investigated." Wang Xuan shook his head and sneered,
"Although I can't investigate, there are suspicions, but now that this black pot has been detained to Ziming, that room has a chance again, you not only want to clear your suspicions, but also remove the stumbling blocks, right?" Tu Su Ziyuan's face remained unchanged,
"Wang Duwei guessed right, helping Ziming is also helping myself." The other party told the truth, but Wang Xuan was relieved, pondered for a while and said: "Then there are two opponents now." ”
"One is the prince of the royal family, it is a scandal involving the royal family, even if the king of Qinzhou is aware of it, he will make a mistake and let the matter be settled."
"One is your disciple of Tusu Mountain City, and he will also do this matter, maybe the witch doctor is their mouth..."
"No, there should be someone else." Suddenly a voice sounded next to him. Wang Xuan and the two talked, and did not avoid Mo Qingrou, she didn't care and helped the two pour tea, but after listening to it, she suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Madam, please speak." Mo Qingrou shook her head and said: "You ignore that little concubine, if she is pregnant with a ghost fetus, either she is scared from the beginning and goes straight to it, or she is very affectionate, and finds a way to leave the palace to give birth to a child, and then uses pills to cover up the three months and then beat it off, obviously using the fetus in her womb as a bargaining chip..."
"There's something wrong with the identity of that concubine!" Tu Su Ziyuan answered: "I have checked, that concubine was originally a singer who walked the rivers and lakes, and was favored by the king of Qinzhou after singing in the palace three years ago. ”
"She rarely interacts with people in the palace, and she is not jealous, so she is gradually left out in the cold, and nothing else can be found..." Wang Xuan knew that the king of Qinzhou was finally going to get down to business.
Tu Su Ziyuan also got up and said: "If Lord Wang has something to do, then I will leave first, find out something, and then tell my lord." Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said: "There is another thing, Lord Wang is in Bingzhou to benefit the people, many people in Qinzhou plan to move to Bingzhou, the king of Qinzhou wants to follow this example, forcing the family lineage to stabilize food prices, if there is no Yong'an support, I am afraid that I will not be able to do this." With that, he turned and left.
Wang Xuan also suddenly realized that the king of Qinzhou was planning to do this. Tu Su Ziyuan released the news to show his goodwill, and it is estimated that another force in the mountain city also gave him a headache, so he could only find a way to rescue Tu Su Ziming and give the other party a blow.
It's not a fuel-efficient lamp... Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, and then under the guidance of the internal guard, he came to a lakeside garden.
At this time, the heavy snow has stopped, the rockery is covered with snow, the bright moon is shining, the maid is carrying a lantern forward, and the king of Qinzhou is boiling tea and wine in the pavilion.
"Captain Wang is here." The king of Qinzhou smiled kindly,
"The snow at the beginning of tomorrow is also a scene of the palace, how about a few drinks with the old man." Wang Xuan arched his hand and said: "The prince is elegant, and he should accompany him." After sitting down, the king of Qinzhou said a few words, then shook his head and sighed: "Wang Duwei is not only a military wizard, but also has a good business in Yong'an, poor my Qinzhou last year of drought, grain production is insufficient, and the grain prices in various states are high, I don't know if Yong'an can release some at a low price?" Wang Xuan knew the other party's plan, so he naturally had a spectrum in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The prince spoke, of course it is easy to do, I don't know how much the prince needs?" King Qinzhou took a sip of tea,
"In the next two years, Taikang New City will produce 30% of grain and buy it at a parity." Thirty percent parity, but also the next two years?
Wang Xuan immediately understood the other party's plan. Such a small amount of food is enough to feed the people of a county, but it is not enough for a state.
What the king of Qinzhou wants is news, get grain at a low price, and suppress grain prices. This is learning from Yong'an, as long as the grain price in Anqing City drops, and then the grain stamp system is pushed, if there are a few more families to help, the entire Qinzhou will have to let the profits stabilize the grain price, or the population of the county under the jurisdiction of those family legal lines will flow out rapidly.
"This, it's a little difficult to do..."Wang Xuan frowned, so it was difficult. Even if there is no matter of Tu Su Ziming, even if the two families are in the same camp, it is not appropriate to take it away with empty white teeth.
You must know that food and population are strategic resources today and the foundation for future development. The king of Qinzhou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This king naturally will not let Wang Duwei suffer. ”
"I heard that Yong'an is buying spirit beast blood recently, this kind of thing is rare, the masters of each family go deep into the four wildernesses, even if they find a strong spirit beast to kill, they must be sealed with secret methods, and the danger can be imagined."
"A lot of spirit beast blood is very useful in alchemy, talisman making, and refining, so it will not flow out easily, and it just so happens that the spirit beast blood obtained by the royal family during this time is in the hands of this king..."Old fox!
Wang Xuan was a little speechless. When leaving Yong'an, Mo Huaixian also told him that the price of spirit beast blood had soared during this time, and there were still few goods flowing out, and the king of the state inquired, and the supply of Shendu was also scarce, and it turned out to be the ghost of the king of Qinzhou.
The border of the human race in all directions, the barbarians of the black abyss ice plain in the north, the ghost fangs in the south, and the vast sea in the east, no matter how high you cultivate, you must resign yourself to fate.
Therefore, the West Wilderness Daze became the only choice. Qinzhou is the western border of Dayan, and it is the only way to enter Daze in the Western Wilderness, and it is not too easy to make some moves.
Wang Xuan is not angry, they are all common means, nothing more than thinking of multiple bargaining chips. Thinking of this, he frowned and said: "The blood of the spirit beast is not in a hurry, but the population of Yong'an has poured in in large this year, if there is no food, there is no bottom in my heart..."
This means that it is not enough to give. The king of Qinzhou took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "It's also that this king is not thoughtful, but there is something that Wang Duwei may be interested in." As he spoke, he took out a round stone slab from his bosom.
The slabs are extremely old, with some broken edges, but they are largely intact, and they are covered with dense spars of fine crushed crystals, like glass on sandstone.
It looks messy, but it seems to be full of some kind of charm. Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Lord Wang, what is this?" The king of Qinzhou said with a smile: "Wang Duwei must also know that Daze in the Western Wilderness and Qinzhou are separated by a vast desert, and it is rumored to be an ancient battlefield. ”
"The Phantom Star Sea, one of the ten forbidden places in Middle-earth, is among them, and occasionally desert travelers see the wild mirage, and the fierce beasts and the ancestors are fighting, but few people who enter the Phantom Star Sea can come out."
"A hundred years ago, someone strayed into the Phantom Star Sea to get this thing, and it was rumored that it was an ancient soldier's map, which caused a bloody storm, but in the end, no one could penetrate it and fell into the hands of this king..." The king of Qinzhou smiled and handed over the slate,
"Wang Duwei will see it by looking at it." After Wang Xuan took it, he looked carefully. The broken crystals on those stone slabs seem to be unremarkable, but if you concentrate on them, they are like stars in the sky, dazzling and boring... Wang Xuan's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly looked away, and said with a solemn face: "This is a visualization map!" King of Qinzhou stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, it's still a rare military visualization map, this level of things, at least the earth immortal burning, but it's too incomplete to comprehend." ”
"Wang Duwei is a military wizard, maybe he can learn something from it, and he can also help when he joins the gluttonous army in the future." Wang Xuan did not hesitate to arch his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness." "Even if this thing can't be understood, it is quite precious, and the king of Qinzhou took out this treasure to save his friendship.
If you bargain again, it will not be appropriate. What's more, he has a Heavenly Dao Deduction Disk, and as long as he burns the remnants of the spiritual rhyme in it, he can deduce the complete Fa.
Don't miss out! Seeing Wang Xuan accept it, the king of Qinzhou stroked his beard and smiled,
"Then this matter is decided!" He's in a good mood too. This thing was sold to him at a high price by others, which seems to be mysterious, but no one has understood it for many years, like chicken ribs.
Later, I learned that this thing was circulating among the royal family, and I don't know how many people were pitted. It is not a loss to use it to promote cooperation.
I just hope that this kid in front of me won't complain in the future... The two of them had their own thoughts and were in a good mood, and they were about to drink a few more glasses, but an arrow shot up in the distance.
"There are assassins!" Several eunuch guards and cavalry sergeants swooped in from all directions to protect them.
At the same time, there was an uproar in the palace, with torches flashing and the armor of the cavalry rumbling. King Qinzhou's face quickly gloomy, and he sneered: "The prince is married, there are countless masters in the palace, and there are assassins who dare to come?" ”
"It's really weird!" After that, he got up for life, and flew towards the shouting place with sword light all over his body, and several eunuch guards also followed.
Wang Xuan also felt strange, and the golden light flashed into the air, and the night wind whistled in his ears, like a sharp arrow breaking through the air.
The place of the incident is a large mansion on the left side of the palace. When Wang Xuan arrived, Tu Su Ziyuan, Wei Tianshu and other family elites, as well as the princes from all over the world, had already arrived.
King Qinzhou's face was gloomy and he looked at the pine trees in the courtyard. I saw that on top of the ancient pine, a blood-stained white silk was nailed to the trunk of a tree with a dagger, fluttering with the night wind.
On the white silk, silver thread is embroidered
The word "warm". This is clearly a woman's thing, the blood stains are black, it has been a long time, and the concubine who died happened to be surnamed Wen!
Sure enough, there is a third party! Wang Xuan and Tu Su Ziyuan looked at each other and began to observe the people in the field. The guests did not know why, but many people in the palace changed their faces slightly, and secretly looked at the king of Qinzhou, and the king of Qinzhou had gloomy eyes and was full of murderous intent.
And one of the young men in yellow stared at Bai Aya, his eyes full of horror. This young man looks younger than Duguyun, the prince of Bingzhou, even if he pretends to be calm, fine sweat still oozes from his forehead... Wang Xuan didn't know what was going on, shook his head slightly, and then looked at the other side, Tu Su Ziyuan's eyes were also cold.
At a young age, he kills people and blames trouble, and his mind is poisonous enough. Wang Xuan quietly pinched a trick. In the small courtyard, Ah Fu raised his head suddenly, shook his ears, and his figure gradually disappeared...
