Chapter 299: After the Storm, He Is No Longer Gone
Zhao Ling looked at the black carriage in the distance, the people in the car seemed to be in a good mood, and they actually sat in front of the car and drove the horse themselves, their white shoes rising and falling.
The secret news he got today was so unexpected that it was difficult for Zhao Ling to digest it for a while. The dignified Mrs. Zhu Buzhan turned out to be a member of the Divine Religion, no wonder she would die.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jian actually fell in love with the descendants of the Divine Sect woman, which was fun now, and provided convenience for himself to toss and turn. Wu Gan, let's see.
"Call the coachman, and we'll go back." Zhao Ling was a little excited, and commanded loudly.
Xiang Qi went to the mill and called the coachman out, knocked the mud on the soles of his shoes, and drove the carriage back to Zhao Ling's mansion in Fuli.
At night, Zhu Buzhan returned home and suddenly saw Wu Yan standing in the courtyard, he had lost a lot of weight, and he was still wrapped in some gauze.
Zhu Buzhan was taken aback, and was about to speak, but Wu Yan had already spoken, "Sir, I'm fine." ”
"Let's go, let's go inside." Zhu Buxian closed the courtyard door and pulled Wu Yan into the main hall.
The two sat at the table, and the candle flame was beating, and the shadows of the two were also flickering and dimming. After a long time, seeing that Wu Jian didn't mean to speak, Zhu Buzhan could only say: "You can know who did it." ”
Wu Yan was expressionless and shook his head, "But I'll find out." ”
"Wu Gan." Zhu Buzhan looked at Wu Gan, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little unfamiliar, and he had an indescribable feeling, "There are many crises in the capital, so it is better to go back to the Shenwu Academy for a while." ”
Wu Yan suddenly grinned, "Let Mr. worry, I have my own way to deal with it, but Sir, you have to be cautious these days." ”
As he spoke, Wu Yan stood up, "Mr. is resting, and the student is retiring." ”
When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, Zhu Buzhan chased him out and said in a deep voice: "Wu Gan, no matter what happens, don't be disappointed in this world. ”
Wu Gen turned his head, his face was indifferent, "Sir, when a person passes through the storm, is it still the same person?" Sir, go back to the house. After speaking, Wu Yan walked out of the small courtyard and gently closed the courtyard door.
Zhu Buzhan looked at the closed courtyard door in a daze, and whispered in his mouth, I believe you, or that Wu Gan.
In the dark night, Wu Gan was dressed in black, wearing a mask and quietly walking in the streets and alleys, avoiding the night guards and guards, all the way to the north of the city.
Further on, there was the place where the princes and nobles of the city lived, and it was more heavily guarded. Wu Yan stopped, turned into a bluestone alley, and stopped in front of a courtyard.
Most of the people living here are related to the aristocracy, so they are closer to each other for the convenience of doing things.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Jian jumped into the courtyard. A big dog stood up, but after glancing at Wu Gan, he quickly squatted down in fright, his tail tightly clamped under his crotch.
It was dark all around, and the house slaves and maids were already asleep. Wu Qian went straight to the backyard, where the owner of the yard rested. When he arrived at the door of the bedroom, Wu Jian listened to the movement inside, and could only hear a person's heavy breathing.
Gently inserting the knife into the crack of the door, Wu Yan used the knife to open the deadbolt. Walking into the room, a man was lying on his head on the bed.
Wu Jian stood quietly in front of the bed, looking at the man on the bed, his eyes were gloomy, and when he looked closely, there seemed to be a flame beating in the depths of his eyes.
The cold blade was placed on the man's neck, and the man was finally awakened. I was about to exclaim, but suddenly my neck was cold, and I quickly stopped screaming. When I looked up, I saw a strange face in front of me by the faint starlight. This face is half smiling, half crying, and it looks very disagreeable.
"This one, this master." The man swallowed, "I don't know what it is like to visit late at night, if you want money, you should ask for it at home." If you ask about something, Wenbo will definitely know everything and say everything. ”
The man is the Wenbo on the Great Prince's Mansion, this is his residence in the capital, because it is close to the Great Prince's Mansion, it is convenient to come and go on weekdays.
"Wenbo, let me ask you, who asked you to use Zhu Linchen's witchcraft." Wu Yan asked calmly.
Wen Bo hesitated slightly, at this time he had already guessed who the masked person in front of him was, and hurriedly spoke: "I don't know, I just did what the eldest prince told me to do." ”
The tip of the knife slid down, feeling the tearing of his own flesh, Wenbo said loudly: "I said that I said that the second prince ordered me to do it, and he wanted to take the opportunity to accuse the eldest prince of using forbidden techniques so as to knock him down in one fell swoop." ”
Wu Gen took off his mask, and Wen Bo quickly covered his eyes in fright, "Don't don't, I'll say whatever you want, don't kill me." ”
Wu Yan spoke slowly, "Wenbo, open your eyes, the second prince's move is not just for Zhao Linge. ”
Wen Bo trembled and put his hand down, "Wu Gan, I'll tell you the truth, the second prince's move still means to deal with you and Zhu Buzhan, this is all Rong Kui and Zhao Ling's idea, I'm just doing things."
In addition, they also asked me to be a little wooden man, as physical evidence of witchcraft, and prepared to secretly put it in the mansion of the great prince. When the time comes, I will act out so that I can prove the guilt. ”
"That means they don't let me go, what other plans do they have?" Wu Yan continued to ask, the knife in his hand did not move at all, always against the other party's neck.
"I don't know, I'm just doing what I'm told." Wen Bo cried and looked at Wu Yan pitifully.
"Forget it, you don't want to give you a way out, then you can only use some means." Wu Gan's other hand pressed on Wenbo's forehead, and his person struggled like a fish out of water, his body curled up, and his eyes rolled.
After a long time, Wu Gen left the courtyard with a gloomy face, carrying a one-foot-long wooden figure wrapped in a white cloth in his hand.
Only then did he learn from Wenbo that Zhu Linge and the others were going to take advantage of the witchcraft to fight a series of punches this time to completely drive the forces of the Great Prince's faction out of the court.
As far as Zhu Buzhan is concerned, he is ready to launch the speech officials under his control, and impeach him on the grounds of corruption and chaos and the use of witchcraft by the prince of the internal communication, and also pursue Zhu Buzhan's followers and completely remove his wings.
As far as Jian Xing is concerned, in the name of conniving at Wu Gan's connection with the disciples and the ineffectiveness of the rebellious cultivators, he went to the name of his national teacher and returned to the Yuan Sect. The reason why he didn't dare to be too presumptuous was because he was afraid of the strength of the Guiyuan Sect, and it was difficult to refute the face of the first major sect of the Zhao Kingdom.
For Wu Gan, it is the triple crime of setting up a secret gangster, robbing and killing the children of nobles in a foreign continent, and performing witchcraft forbidden arts, and it is best to be punished with capital punishment and confiscation of all private property.
As for Luo Bing, Zhu Qianhua and others, they also have their own strategies. At the same time, if necessary, the Guanglu Xunzhong manpower, who was in charge of the emperor's personal guards, was activated, and Zhao Linge used his prestige in the army to contact some generals of the southern and northern armies in the capital.
Wu Gen stood on a rooftop and looked up at the night sky of the capital, tonight was cloudy, the moon was hidden and the stars were gone, and there was no light in the darkness of all directions. The drum tower in the distance squatted on the ground like a giant beast, looking at the four directions.
Such a struggle is beyond the reach of one person. Facing a powerful force led by the second prince. Fighting with one's own strength is tantamount to shaking a tree, and even Zhu Buzhan, Jian Xing and others are difficult to retreat.
Since it doesn't make me feel better, then everyone shouldn't be happy. Touching the tailbone on his waist, Wu Jian hurried silently in the direction of Zhu Buzhan's yard.
In the early morning of the second day, Wu Yan hurriedly said goodbye to Zhu Buzhan, but went straight out of Fuli City.
Looking at Wu Gan's back, Zhu Buzhan's face turned angry, he took a deep breath, and his body straightened, "Old Qi, send me out." ”
Wu Gen went out of the city and went straight to the west of the city, inquiring about the location of Jiang Ji's car dealership along the way. When he really found this so-called car dealership, Wu Gen couldn't help but be a little in a daze, is this a car dealership.
On a flat river beach covering an area of about 100 acres, the signboard of Jiang Kee Automobile Company hunted on the flagpole, followed by the courtyard of Wujin. If it weren't for the regulations, I don't know how many more houses the owner of the car dealership would have built. On one side of the yard, along the riverbank, there was a large meadow in which hundreds of horses were neighing.
On the other side of the yard, there are pergolas with cars of different shapes, large and small.
Some cars are luxuriously decorated, the body is inlaid with gilded beast patterns, and the carriages are made of fine nanmu, and the inside can seat twenty or thirty people.
Wu Yan took a breath of cold air, the stronghold of this Knife Grinding Gate was also a little too ostentatious. is not afraid of Zhao Guo's suspicion and recourse.
Walking to the front of the courtyard, there were two men with big shoulders and round waists who were guarding, and when they saw Wu Gan coming, they were not arrogant, and politely came up to ask what they were doing here.
Wu Yan nodded, "May I ask the shopkeeper to be there." ”
"The shopkeeper is meeting guests, adults may wish to stay in the guest room for a while and drink some tea to relieve fatigue." The man's attitude was still very good, and he took the initiative to take Wu Yan into a guest room in the front yard, and soon a small servant brought tea.
Looking at the style of this Jiang Ji car dealership, Wu Jian couldn't help but nod secretly, he could do such a big deal in the land of Gyeonggi, and there were really some doorways.
While he was pondering, he saw a person come out of the main room and walk towards the door. Seeing this person, Wu Genhuo stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he clutched the tea cup on the table.
This person, Wu Gan, naturally knew that it was the person who connected with the old man that day, but he didn't expect to appear here. Wu Gen really wanted to jump out and capture this person at this time, but when he thought of having to connect with the grinding door, he endured it alive.
Soon a servant came to the guest room, "My lord, the shopkeeper is invited." ”
Wu Yan got up and followed him to the main house, where sat an old man in his fifties and sixties, wearing a silk robe common among the nobles of the capital. It's just that the cheesy thing is that there are palm-sized copper coins printed on it.
Seeing Wu Gen enter the house, the old man was full of smiles, and he didn't lose half of his courtesy because of Wu Gan's dress, "This guest officer, what advice do you have for looking for the old man." ”
Wu Yan glanced at the room, but did not speak. The old man immediately realized, "You all go down." ”
The little guys in the house walked out one after another, leaving only Wu Gen and the old man present.
"Guest officer, old Jiang Qian, there is no one around, just say anything directly. Our store can gain a foothold in the capital, and it has always been a tight mouth, so you can rest assured. The old man motioned for Wu Gen to sit down.
Walking to the old man's side, Wu Yan took out a knife-shaped coin and gently placed it on the table.
Seeing the coin, Jiang Qian's expression was grim, he put his hand on the knife coin, rubbed it gently, and asked after a while: "Since you are a person in the door, you can have a business trip here, what do you need to do?" ”
