Chapter 482: Ulterior Purpose
Wang Jian'an's son is known as a talent, and he is a well-known talent in Liangzhou, and his ink treasure can be described as hard to find.
Five years ago, the eldest princess of Niyang asked Wang Jian'an's son to paint for herself, but Wang Jian'an's son looked down on the style of the eldest princess of Niyang and was unwilling to paint for her.
This incident made the eldest princess of Niyang very displeased.
It didn't take long for Wang Jian'an's son to have his hands broken, and he could no longer write or paint.
Wang Jian'an knew in his heart that nine times out of ten, this matter was sent by the eldest princess of Niyang.
But he had no evidence and no certificate, and he couldn't identify the eldest princess of Niyang, so he could only swallow his anger.
His son was devastated because his hands were scrapped, and he chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake one morning.
Wang Jian'an's daughter-in-law couldn't bear the blow, couldn't afford to get sick, and died not long after.
Only one child with intellectual development disorders was left, that is, Wang Jun.
Wang Jian'an has always protected Wang Jun as a baby, but he still failed to protect Wang Jun, and Wang Jun fell into the hands of the eldest princess of Niyang.
The eldest princess of Niyang used Wang Jun's life to threaten and forced Wang Jian'an to compromise.
Listening to Wang Jian'an's story about what happened to him, Xiao Ti asked.
"What did the eldest princess of Niyang make you do?"
Wang Jian'an shook his head.
"She didn't let me do anything.
She knew that I didn't really obey her, and that I would turn back whenever I had the chance.
That's why she was very wary of me and never told me about her plans.
The only thing she asked me was to keep my mouth shut, not to say anything, and to be an incompetent county guard. ”
It's not that he doesn't really want to care about anything, but because of his grandson's life, he has to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Xiao Ti said calmly.
"You have been a county guard in Liangzhou for so many years, and you are more familiar with this place than anyone else, even if the eldest princess of Niyang doesn't tell you, you should be able to detect some things."
Wang Jian'an admitted it calmly.
"Yes, I know that the horse has quietly transported some unsightly things into Liangzhou.
He also knew that the people who helped him carry those things came from the barracks.
The military power in Liangzhou is in the hands of Yuangui, the commander of the city protector.
Since the horses can mobilize soldiers and horses to help them transport things, presumably Yuangui is also involved.
But what the concubine didn't know was that Yuan Gui had already hooked up with the eldest princess of Niyang in private.
Now that the horse is dead, the things he got into Liangzhou are likely to fall into the hands of the eldest princess of Niyang. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Jian'an glanced at Xiao Ti deeply, and his tone was very solemn.
"Although I don't know what those things are, but the things that can be wanted by both the horse and the eldest princess of Niyang must be very simple, His Royal Highness the King of the County has traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou, presumably for those things, right?"
Xiao Ti nodded: "Yes." ”
Wang Jian'an carefully put down the portrait, and then knelt down on one knee towards Xiao Ti.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm already half-cut into the ground, and I don't have anything to care about for a long time.
The only thing I can't worry about is Ah Jun.
As long as you can help me get Ah Jun out, whatever you ask me to do! ”
The eldest princess of Niyang has a brutal temperament and is moody, as long as Wang Jun is still in her hands for a day, Wang Jian'an will not be able to be steady for a day.
He must rescue Wang Jun as soon as possible while he is still alive.
Xiao Ti asked him to stand up, and then said.
"I don't have to hide it from you now, the court has lost a batch of stolen silver, the amount is as high as tens of millions of taels, and the emperor ordered me to recover the stolen silver."
Wang Jian'an was stunned.
"I see!"
With such a large amount of money, it is no wonder that they will compete for it.
Xiao Ti said in a deep voice: "You are familiar with the situation here, can you tell me if there have been any special changes between the eldest princess of Niyang and Yuangui in the past few years?" ”
He didn't believe that the eldest princess of Niyang racked her brains to obtain such a large amount of dirty silver, just to eat, drink and have fun.
She must have another purpose!
Wang Jian'an pondered for a moment.
"The eldest princess of Niyang has always been like that.
Her mood changes when she says, and she can do whatever she wants, which is really unpredictable.
If there is anything different about her in recent years, it is probably only the search for beautiful men.
This is also ridiculous.
She didn't just keep a face in her own house, and she also asked people to go outside and search for young men with excellent appearances.
If the men did not comply, the princess ordered the whole family to be taken up and sent to serve as coolies.
There have been people who have suffered and begged me to uphold justice, but I am worried about Ah Jun's safety and dare not take care of these things. ”
At this, he let out a long sigh, very ashamed.
Xiao Ti asked, "Do you know how many people have been arrested?" ”
Wang Jian'an: "I don't know the specifics, but there are hundreds of them." ”
Xiao Ti quickly calculated, if there are ten people in a family, there will be more than a thousand people in hundreds of households!
What is the eldest princess of Niyang doing with so many people?
What is it that requires so much coolies?
Xiao Ti asked again: "Is there a place in Liangzhou that has been building a large number of civil works recently?" ”
Wang Jian'an shook his head and said no.
Xiao Ti frowned, it would be strange, since no civil engineering was built, where did those arrested people go?
He said to Wang Jian'an.
"Please rest assured, we will help you rescue Wang Jun as soon as possible."
Wang Jian'an was ecstatic: "Thank you!" I will never forget your great kindness, and I will repay your great kindness in the next life! ”
After speaking, he was about to bow down to Xiao Ti again.
Xiao Ti stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Alright, I should go, you will be here tonight as if I didn't come."
Wang Jian'an nodded vigorously: "I understand!" ”
He watched Xiao Ti leave, turned around and went back to bed, thinking of his grandson, but he couldn't sleep.
Inside the Princess's Mansion.
Yu Yuanxuan was sitting on the edge of the bed dozing.
Her head rested on the edge of the bed, drooping slightly.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she woke up at once, propped up her head and opened her eyes, and looked anxiously towards the door.
She saw Xiao Ti push the door and walk in.
Xiao Ti closed the door and asked her.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Yu Yuan walked up quickly: "I can't rest assured of you, how is it?" What did Wang Junshou say? ”
Xiao Ti saw that she was so concerned about herself, and she was naturally very happy in her heart.
Whether she was sincere or not, as long as she was willing to pay attention to him, he was satisfied.
Xiao Ti roughly recounted the conversation between himself and Wang Jian'an.
After listening to it, Yu Yuan began to break his little fingers, trying to smooth out the logical relationship.
"Cheng Qi's idea of going to fight that batch of stolen silver is because of Yuangui's instigation, and Yuangui secretly colluded with the eldest princess of Niyang, that is to say, Cheng Qi was used from the beginning, and he was just a chess piece in the hands of the eldest princess of Niyang."
Xiao Ti bowed: "It should be like this." ”
Yu Yuan's mood is complicated.
"In this way, Cheng Qi is still a little pitiful."
After Cheng Qi lost his use value, the eldest princess of Niyang should have planned to send him back to the west, but his act of assassinating the princess at the birthday banquet made him send himself to the guillotine in advance.
