Chapter 156: Dreams
Jiang Yanxiang saw her husband return and happily greeted her. Zhang Wu hurriedly asked her what was wrong, and Jiang Yanxiang took out a silk handkerchief.
"This is sent by Dou Liangren, look at what it means."
Zhang Wu took it in his hand, and saw the words "protect Wei Cheng" written on it, and he immediately understood what to do.
"You go to sleep, I'll go to work now."
Jiang Yanxiang looked at her husband lovingly, "Let's drink a glass of water first!" So saying, the maid poured a glass of water and sent it to her. Zhang Wu took it and drank it, "Thank you for your hard work...... Jiang Yanxiang said again.
"It's not hard, without Dou Liangren, there would be no you and me today, her business is my business, but you have to rest well."
Jiang Yanxiang nodded, and then sent Zhang Wu out, Zhang Wu rode on his horse and went straight to the Beicheng army.
Coming to the barracks, Zhang Wu gathered his men and asked them to find a man named Wei Cheng.
Now I only know that this Wei Cheng is a guard of the forbidden army, with beautiful eyebrows, a burly and tall figure, and he is twenty-three years old.
Although there are not many clues, it is not difficult for the Beicheng Army.
At night, the most likely place for Wei Cheng to stay is the inn.
Zhang Wu's men first searched all the inns and then the hotel until the sky was bright and the morning sun rose, but they still did not find Wei Cheng.
After dawn, Zhang Wu did not dare to use the garrison again, so he could only go and ask the people he knew. This man's name is Sun Yan, and he is a gangster leader in the capital. The gangster is well-informed, and it's easy to inquire about this kind of thing.
Sun Yan was arrested by Zhang Wu once, and he also admired Zhang Wu's personality very much. At this time, I heard that Zhang Wu was looking for someone, and immediately anxious about the ruffians, gangsters, beggars, and unemployed vagrants in the whole capital to find Wei Cheng, and once there was news, he immediately notified Zhang Wu. As a result, Zhang Wu was able to return to his home to rest.
Back in the house, he took a shower and went back to his bedroom. He got into bed gently, just afraid of waking Jiang Yanxiang. Don't you know that Jiang Yanxiang has been sleeping very lightly because she is worried about him.
Zhang Wu just went to bed, and she woke up.
"How's it going?" She asked.
Zhang Wu was taken aback, and was sorry that he woke up the lady again, "I have used all my strength to find it, and I believe that there will be results soon." ”
"Do you think something will happen to this Wei Cheng?"
Jiang Yanxiang was very worried, after all, she had heard Dou Yifang mention that Wei Cheng was Qingluo's crush. If something happened to Wei Cheng, how sad Qingluo would be.
Zhang Wu put his arms around his wife and comforted: "You can rest assured, everything will not be so bad......"
"I hope so."
In the end, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
At three o'clock, the finches in the courtyard were crying non-stop.
Zhang Wu had already woken up, Jiang Yanxiang was still asleep, and he was worried that the cries of these birds would wake Jiang Yanxiang, so he asked his subordinates to use long bamboo poles to drive them away.
The butler came over and told him that Sun Yan was coming. Zhang Wu immediately went to the living room to meet.
"General Zhang......"
"Got news?"
"Hmm."
……
Sun Yan took Zhang Wu out of Zhang's mansion, and the two got on the horse and went straight out of the city.
There was a river outside the city, and they came to the shoal of the lower reaches of the river. As far as the eye could see, I saw some people gathered by the river, and they were all Sun Yan's subordinates.
Sun Yan and Zhang Wu came to them and dismounted.
A gangster greeted him with a smile on his face, and Sun Yan introduced Zhang Wu to everyone, and everyone immediately saluted Zhang Wu again. Zhang Wuzuo returned the salute, and then asked where Wei Chengren was.
The thugs got out of the way, and Zhang Wu saw a person lying on the sand.
This man looked like he was in his twenties, with beautiful eyebrows and a tall and burly body, but his face was pale and bloodless, and his clothes were soaked and there were some loose blood clots. Apparently, he is dead.
"How do you know he's Wei Cheng?" Zhang Wu asked.
One person took out a token and handed it to Zhang Wu, "This is the ...... found from him"
Zhang Wu saw that it was a token in the palace.
Although it is not certain, this person is very likely to be Wei Cheng. There were blood stains on his clothes, indicating that he had been attacked, and Zhang Wu squatted down to examine it carefully and found a fatal wound to the back of his head.
Thinking that Dou Yifang asked him to protect Wei Cheng, now, he was sure that this person was Wei Cheng, and his heart was full of guilt.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! A team of yacha rushed over and scolded.
The leader recognized Sun Yan at a glance and reprimanded: "It turns out that you kid is making trouble, believe it or not, I will arrest you back?" ”
Sun Yan was not afraid, and said with a smile: "We can also be regarded as doing things for the imperial court, you dare to arrest me?" As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Zhang Wu.
Catching up on Zhang Wu, he immediately saluted and asked him why he was here. Zhang Wu showed him the corpse on the ground and ordered him to immediately confirm the person's identity.
The government took over the case and quickly confirmed that the body was Wei Cheng, a forbidden army guard who had left the palace on leave the day before, and the cause of death was a blunt object hit on the head, and there were multiple bruises on his body.
The first person to find the body was a ferryman. At that time, the body was packed in a cloth bag and stranded by the river.
Later, the body was snatched by a group of thugs, and then found by Zhang Wu.
Obviously, this is a case of murder and abandonment of corpses, and it is the guards of the forbidden army who died, and the impact can be big or small.
To put it mildly, it is a guard, if you want to hide it, you will hide it, after all, Liu Heng doesn't know all the guards in the palace.
To put it mildly, if it really gets bigger, let Liu Heng know that this case must be investigated to the end. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that this is the guard of the forbidden army.
Zhang Wu returned home and couldn't help sighing. Jiang Yanxiang asked the reason and comforted: "You have done your best, but I didn't inform you in time!" ”
Zhang Wu smiled and said, "The matter has come to this, should we tell Dou Liangren?" ”
Jiang Yanxiang nodded.
Now, Wei Cheng's case has not yet reached Liu Heng, but it has been transmitted to the Tingwei, who is discussing whether to inform the king.
But in the harem, there are already people who know about it.
Chang Shun's reaction was very fast, which was why Wei Muyu relied on him. He timidly told Wei Muyu about this, and Wei Muyu was furious and broke the teacup at hand.
"How the hell did you deal with this?" She asked.
Chang Shun didn't dare to speak, just scolding those killers in his heart. He had already explained that he would dispose of the corpses, how could he expect them to be so sloppy.
Now he regrets it, Wei Muyu gave him a lot of money to hire a killer, but he used a low price to find some daring hooligans by the way, just to be greedy for cheapness.
So far, the most important thing is to find a way to remedy it, and the remedy still depends on Chang Shun, so Wei Muyu doesn't dare to blame him too much.
"The king must not know about this."
"The little one understands."
"Go for it!!"
"Yes."
After Chang Shun left, Wei Muyu only felt dizzy and swollen, she supported her head with her hands, and sighed helplessly.
Butterfly Ye walked up and asked a palace maid to clean up the debris on the ground, and then asked, "Master, are you okay?" ”
Wei Muyu shook her head slightly, then stood up. Butterfly immediately reached out and let her hold on.
"Prepare a sedan chair."
"Where is the master going?"
"Arran Palace."
……
Youlan Palace, Chunyan Pavilion.
Dou Yifang was playing the piano to pass the time, and Danhe was interested in learning, so she was also teaching by the way.
At this time, duckweed walked in with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. The bamboo slips are tied with red bands and should not have been opened.
"Master, this is a ...... sent to you by Sister Yanxiang," duckweed said.
Lan Yi and Dan He looked over curiously, wondering why Jiang Yanxiang sent this bamboo slip.
Dou Yifang opened it and saw that it was a collection of transcriptions of the Book of Poetry, Jiang Yanxiang chose some of her favorite poems and copied them and gave them to Dou Yifang. It also says that she is now starting to read.
"Sister Yanxiang's words are not very good......" duckweed said on the side.
Danhe immediately replied, "How many words can you write?" ”
Duckweed stuck out her tongue at her, meaning you're going to raise the bar. Still blue-clothed and careful, said: "Sister Yanxiang wants your master to evaluate you?" ”
She doesn't think it's as simple as practicing handwriting.
Dou Yifang also thinks so, because yesterday she asked someone to send a letter to Zhang Wu, asking him to protect Wei Cheng. Therefore, the ability of this bamboo slip should not be so simple. But Dou Yifang looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any clues.
Lan Yi boredly picked up the red ribbon that was originally used to tie the bamboo slips, and said to himself: "Is Sister Yanxiang using this kind of fabric?" Much worse than ours......"
Dou Yifang's eyes turned and fell on the red ribbon in her hand. She took it from the blue coat and looked at it carefully, and finally found the clue.
This strap is a bit thicker because it has a strap folded in half and sewn up.
"Bring the scissors."
The blue coat quickly took the simplicity, Dou Yifang cut the stitches, and unfolded it to get a wide belt, and wrote the folded part in between.
Dou Yifang's face was overjoyed, and he said with emotion: "It's still Yanxiang who thinks thoughtfully." ”
The exchange of letters between the harem and the foreign ministers will inevitably lead to gossip. If the content of the letter involves political affairs, it will also arouse the disgust and even suspicion of the king.
After reading the contents of the ribbon, Dou Yifang seemed to be frozen.
Wei Cheng died, Wei Cheng actually died...... What does this mean for Qingluo? The lover is gone, and the child in the womb is born without a father.
This already made Dou Yifang feel cold, and what was even more chilling was that Wei Muyu would instruct others to kill people.
That's a human life!
Originally, she thought that Wei Muyu was just competing for favor, but she didn't expect that Wei Muyu could do whatever it took to achieve her goals, and even kill people.
"Master, are you alright?" Duckweed asked worriedly.
Dou Yifang shook his head, let out a long sigh, and said, "Danhe, go and inquire where the king is." ”
……
Arran Palace.
Since being reprimanded by Liu Heng, Queen Chen has never left her bedroom. During this time, she opened a vegetable garden in her back garden and spent most of the day tending to her vegetable garden.
Don't look at her as a laid-back and idle, in fact, she is still very aware of the outside world.
Including Dou Yifang and Wei Muyu who would turn their faces sooner or later, she had long expected that there would be such a day. From the past few days, Dou Yifang and Wei Muyu have frequently walked between Han Lian and Qin Yilian, and she has this feeling.
As for what made Dou Yifang and Wei Muyu turn against each other, she didn't know.
At this time, Yu'er walked over, "Master, Yuliang asks to see you." ”
Queen Chen stood up, took the handkerchief handed to her by the palace maid, wiped the sweat on her forehead, her pink lips raised slightly, and her smile was slightly sly.
in the living room.
