Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 99 Faint Move
Nangong Ding has a lot of masters, there are four who teach him martial arts, one in chess, and one in calligraphy and painting. ”
After all, Nangong was set in front of them, and he never showed fear of the "White Tiger"!
"By the way, didn't that kid say last time that he would continue to deal with the prince?" Xiao Wuji asked.
Thinking of this, Nangong Ding smiled slightly, and seemed to enjoy the conversation with him.
"I love the challenge, and I'm going to see what else he's going to do." Nangong Ding is also conceited, although he attaches great importance to "vain gifts", but in his heart, no one can treat him except that person.
Zhang Mansion in the northwest of the imperial city.
In the gazebo, Zhang Donglai is chatting and laughing with several business partners, which is also his daily business, in order to expand his influence and prepare for the action of "Suzaku".
At this time, a person looked nervous and hurriedly stepped forward, he was the housekeeper of Zhang's house.
"Master, something's wrong."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Donglai stopped talking and laughing, and asked casually.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, glanced at the people present, Zhang Donglai immediately understood, got up and apologized.
"Everyone, let's talk, I'll come when I go."
Leaving his seat, Zhang Donglai came to the butler's side and asked, "What is the matter?" ”
"Someone from the Qi Palace." The butler said in a low voice.
"What? Qi Wangfu? Zhang Donglai was shocked.
Could it be exposed?
But after thinking about it, if it is really exposed, it should be from the Tsing Yi Division, how can it be a person from the Qi Palace?
Calm and can't mess around.
"Where are the people?" Zhang Donglai asked.
"I took him into the study and waited."
"Study? Why don't you take him to the parlor and wait? Zhang Donglai blamed.
The housekeeper replied with a sad face: "He said that there is an urgent matter, and he can't let outsiders know, and it is inconvenient in the living room, so I can only take him to the study." ”
"How many?" Zhang Donglai continued to ask.
"There's only one!"
One, that means that he is not here to arrest people, Zhang Donglai relieved his heart, and then pointed to the pavilion and said to the housekeeper: "You go and greet them, and I will come when I go." ”
In the study, a person was dressed in coarse clothes, although he was dressed as an ordinary person, but his eyes that radiated sharp light at any time showed that this person's cultivation was not low.
He is the teacher of the Qi Palace, named Situ Yang, and he was ordered to find the old beggar's body this time.
"Squeak"
The door was gently opened, and Zhang Donglai walked in lightly, for fear of alarming the others.
"Who are you, my lord?"
Already holding a beautiful teacup in his hand, Situ Yang didn't raise his eyes, and said coldly: "You don't need to know my name, I came here today and only asked you one thing." ”
"Your Excellency, please speak." Zhang Donglai stood aside and saluted, but did not dare to sit down.
"Ten days ago, on the ninth day of the first month of this month, have you ever been to the Drunken Red Mansion?" Situ Yang asked directly.
Frowning and thinking deeply, Zhang Donglai walked back and forth in the room for a few steps before he spoke: "I have been to the Drunken Red Mansion recently, but I don't remember what day it was?" ”
He was telling the truth.
"See this guy?" Situ Yang didn't talk nonsense, since the other party admitted that he had been to the Drunken Red Mansion, it must be the correctness of the intelligence, and he directly took out the portrait of the old beggar.
Leaning closer, Zhang Donglai carefully examined the portrait, scratched his head and replied: "It's a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it." ”
"Let me remind you, that day, a beggar accidentally soiled Qian Shaocheng's clothes, and Qian Shaocheng got drunk and beat him, do you remember this?"
Situ Yang believes that since Zhang Donglai has been to the Drunken Red Mansion, he must know that Qian Shaocheng is notorious, and the powerful people of the Jinglin family have to let him see him, so he didn't bother to introduce Qian Shaocheng.
"Yes, I happened to be drinking with friends in the lobby that day, that's what happened." Zhang Donglai patted his head and continued: "At that time, I heard a commotion outside, so I went out to take a few looks. ”
Sure enough, Zhang Donglai recognized Qian Shaocheng.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" He suddenly exclaimed, "This painting in your hand, the old beggar." Zhang Donglai finally remembered.
Rolling up the portrait and putting it in his arms, Situ Yang nodded and said, "Very good, it's good to think about it, now I ask you, did Qian Shaocheng kill the beggar on the spot?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Donglai was stunned for a moment, fell into contemplation again, and then said: "It shouldn't be, what, the beggar is dead?" ”
Without answering his words, Situ Yang continued to ask, "Why are you so sure that the beggar was not killed on the spot?" ”
"Because I saw that after Qian Shaocheng left, the beggar still dragged his body and limped out of the Drunken Red Mansion, I saw that he was pitiful, and I stepped forward to give him a silver ingot, wanting him to heal his wounds."
After saying this, Zhang Donglai sighed, and was a little sentimental.
"Do you know where the old beggar went at the end?"
This is the crux of the matter, as long as you know where the old beggar died, perhaps there will be witnesses in the vicinity who saw who removed the body.
Shaking his head, Zhang Donglai said: "After the old beggar thanked me, he walked to Nanhua Street, and I went back to the Drunken Red House to drink, and I didn't know where he went." ”
Situ Yang didn't speak again, as if he was digesting the information given by the other party, and after a while, he stood up, took the teacup in his hand, squeezed it hard, and a strong qi came out of his hand, and then the cup in his hand immediately turned into powder and flew into the air.
"Today's matter, if you leak half a point, Zhang Zhai will cease to exist like this cup."
Zhang Donglai hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and said continuously: "The villain will never dare to leak half a sentence." ”
Situ Yang shook his hand and left the study, and Zhang Donglai sent him to the door.
Seeing him disappear from his sight, Zhang Donglai immediately found Zhang Cuiyu and told him what had happened.
"King Qi's people?" Zhang Cuiyu was puzzled.
"Exactly, what are they looking for the old beggar's corpse?" Zhang Donglai was puzzled.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Cuiyu said: "I know, Qian Shaocheng is Qian Liangye's son, and Qian Liangye is Nangong Ding's person, since the old beggar was beaten to death by Qian Shaocheng, presumably King Qi is looking for that corpse to be unfavorable to Qian Liangye, so as to weaken Nangong Ding's strength." ”
After her words, Zhang Donglai suddenly realized: "Yes, it must be so." ”
"You immediately spread the news and let the people of the Tsing Yi Division know." Zhang Cuiyu immediately ordered.
Hearing this order, Zhang Donglai was stunned for a moment, and then understood Zhang Cuiyu's intentions.
The fight between the two kings, regardless of the outcome, is good for them.
"Yes, I'll arrange it." Zhang Donglai looked excited.
Nangong Qing, if you kill me Jiang Guotian, we will slaughter your descendants to defend the country. Zhang Cuiyu gritted her teeth and said secretly in her heart.
