Chapter 29: Retribution for the Adulterous Thief (3)
Although He Wencan heard a little about this Tianyi League, and then Zhu Yuanzhang sent him to inquire about some news, but after all, he didn't know too much, he had also heard the officials in the court mention dozens of cases of extermination in various places, with his cleverness, he had already guessed that these extermination cases must have been committed by the same group of people, but he didn't know that it was Zhu Wenyu who said that the evil deeds of the Tianyi League, at this time, listening to Zhu Sha and the two mention, they naturally immediately thought about it, understood many of the joints, and their hearts were quite shocked, I didn't expect this Tianyi League to be so bold, After doing so many bloody cases, I also understand why Zhu Yuanzhang attaches so much importance to dealing with a small gang, and it will never be just a rabble. It's just that He Wencan is very deep in the city, and he can't see the shock in his heart from his calm face, so he just paused and said, "He did his best in this matter." ”
"Master He is old enough to do this, so he must have made arrangements for this." Desert smiled.
He Wencan himself is also a deep and wise person, and he also heard that the desert in front of him is the most thoughtful friend of Zhu Wenyu, just like the last time he came to Zhu's mansion, He Wencan can conclude that this desert must be observing him in the dark, but he pretended not to know. But now it is the first time to deal with each other face-to-face like this, and seeing the wit in the desert's words, he also smiled faintly: "Brother Sha has won the award, He is stupid, he can't compare to Brother Sha's wisdom beads, just do his best to do errands for the emperor." The words were neither affirmed nor denied in advance, and they were still witty.
The three of them were talking to each other, and suddenly saw Xiao Gaozi hurriedly running in again: "Young master, someone outside the door is looking for him again, saying that he is looking for Master He." ”
"Hehe, Lord He is so fast." The desert smiled again.
He Wencan also smiled silently, turned to Zhu Wenyu and said, "It's just a little thing, Brother Zhu let him in." ”
"Quick, get someone in." Zhu Wenyu watched it funny, and hurriedly shouted at Xiao Gaozi.
"Yes, young master."
After a while, I saw a person dressed as a merchant walking in hurriedly with Xiao Gaozi, and when he saw He Wencan, he knelt on one knee and fell to the ground: "Knock on your lord." ”
"How's it going?" He Wencan's tone had changed in front of that person, and there seemed to be no emotion in his faint tone.
The man raised his head slightly, hesitantly looking at Zhu Wenyu and the desert who were sitting next to him.
"This Lord Zhu is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, his own person, this case is handled by him, there is no need to shy away from it, you just say it." He Wencan's tone was still light, which made Zhu Wenyu sound quite uncomfortable.
"Yes, sir. The subordinates have seen Lord Zhu. Back to the adult, the villain has heard some news from the deputy head of the Xiao Mansion, five days ago, the Xiao Mansion did send a few truckloads of goods to other places for several days, but he didn't know what the car was loaded with, it was arranged by Xiao Wuya himself, he just heard that it was sent to Chongqing Mansion, and it was necessary to take the waterway, go up the river, first send it to Yangzhou by the cart, and then load the ship and return to the west. In addition, listening to the housekeeper of Natian, in the past six months or so, Xiao Mansion has always sent goods to Chongqing, and each time it is almost the same, and it has been delivered two or three times. ”
"Well, does that Steward Tian know your identity?" He Wencan asked.
"Back to my lord, I shouldn't know that the villain pretended to be an antique dealer, wanted to collect dead antiques from pawnshops all over the world, and had dinner with the housekeeper of Natian a few times, and he kept talking about the antique business, but he revealed it himself when chatting." The man bowed his head.
"Well, I know, go ahead, don't let him see it, continue to investigate, I don't care about inviting guests to dinner and visiting the kiln, you just need to find out the news."
"Yes, sir."
"Go ahead." He Wencan waved his hand.
"Yes, my lord." The man didn't dare to raise his head, stood up and bowed his head, then retreated, turned around and went out with Xiao Gaozi out of the house.
"This man is very shrewd and capable." Zhu Wenyu watched the man go out and said prominently.
"This person is the general banner of Jinyiwei, and he is also your subordinate of Lord Zhu, but Lord Zhu is ordered to investigate the affairs of the Tianyi Alliance wholeheartedly, and he is not familiar with his subordinates. This person is from a former Yuan family, and after the fall of his family, he fell into the streets, and he got acquainted with a lot of characters from the three religions and nine streams on the street. If Master Zhu can see it, it is enough to carry him more. He Wencan said lightly. The desert knows that this kind of person is an excellent person to find out the news, and people from all walks of life have some relationships, and they are really rare talents. This kind of person He Wencan must be firmly enveloped in his hands, and it is strange that he is willing to give it to Zhu Wenyu, as if he didn't even say the name of that person, the so-called words of support are just oral words.
"Why did Xiao Wuya send the silver to Chongqing? Even if it is sent to Sichuan, it should be sent to Chengdu or Leshan, what are you doing in Chongqing? Zhu Wenyu's mind has turned to business.
"The emperor of Leshan Liu Shicheng has ordered He to carefully inquire about the news, but the distance is too far, and it may take a few days to get the news."
"In a few days? The fast horse from the capital to Leshan has to run for more than 20 days, and it takes a month to go back and forth. Zhu Wenyu said curiously.
"Hehe, Brother Zhu, Lord He must be using the flying pigeon to pass the book?" Desert said with a smile.
"Ahh Look at my stupid head. Zhu Wenyu suddenly patted his head embarrassedly: "Then it's troublesome Brother He." ”
"What did Brother Zhu say? You and I both belong to the Jinyi Guard, and we are both doing errands for the emperor, so there is no need to be polite, just ask for something. He Wencan said.
"Strange, sent to Chongqing?" Zhu Wenyu still couldn't figure it out.
"Brother Zhu didn't forget about the assassination in Chongqing?" Desert reminded.
"How can you forget? Zu Jiang's brother still doesn't know if he lives or dies because of this. ”
"I remember Brother Zhu once mentioned that when Brother Zhu and Miss Tang were assassinated, Du Feng was with a few lamas and a few Mongolians."
"yes, so what?" Zhu Wenyu didn't understand why the desert suddenly mentioned this.
"Du Fengnai is an important figure in the Tianyi League, accompanied by lamas and Mongolians, don't you think there are a lot of questions in this? At the time, I thought it was wrong, but I always couldn't figure it out, but now it seems that it is very obvious. Desert sighed.
"Are you saying that the Heavenly Clothes Alliance is implicated in the Western Regions of Mongolia? You mentioned this last time. Although Zhu Wenyu couldn't turn the corner for a while, he was not stupid after all, and he felt a little.
"Not only is it very likely to be implicated, but there must be important people in the Tianyi Alliance in Chongqing Prefecture! Xiao Wuya will send a large sum of silver from the Tianyi Alliance to Chongqing. ”
"Brother Sha is very reasonable, it seems that there is indeed an important person in the Tianyi League in this Chongqing Mansion, but I don't know who it is, I am afraid that this matter will have to be investigated by Qin Changde, the governor of Chongqing Prefecture." He Wencan listened quietly on the side, and interjected at this time.
"There are also beggar disciples from Chongqing Mansion who can also help." Desert added.
"I believe that I have to ask the beggar in Brother Zhu's house to help my friend surnamed Zhou." He Wencan knows the name of Nangong Ling in the desert, and naturally knows that Zhou Yuan, who is dressed in a hundred clothes all day long, always has a chicken leg or chicken head and chicken butt on his hands, and is a member of the beggar gang: "Brother Zhu walks the rivers and lakes, sees a lot of knowledge, and travels a lot, if you can have friends on the rivers and lakes to help, then you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
"Well, I'll ask some friends for help." Zhu Wenyu wanted to see if the people from the Tang Sect could also help.
"And." He Wencan continued: "Brother Fang Cai Sha mentioned that when Brother Zhu was assassinated in Chongqing, the people of the Tianyi League were with the lamas of the Western Regions and the Mongols, I wonder if Brother Zhu can elaborate? He Wencan deserves to have followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and he is very attentive to the whereabouts of the Mongols and the people of the Western Regions, he has not heard Zhu Wenyu mention it, and Zhu Wenyu has not told Zhu Yuanzhang about it, this is the first time He Wencan heard about it, and he immediately paid attention to it, and wanted Zhu Wenyu to talk about it in detail.
Zhu Wenyu saw that he couldn't hide, so he and Tang Yun returned to Beijing along the waterway, went ashore in Chongqing to play, and saw the lama and the monk arguing in front of the Guanyin Temple in Fushan, Zhu Wenyu interjected a few words, and then met those lamas by the river pretending to look for their bad luck but teamed up with Du Feng and a few dragon killers to sneak attack and assassinate, Zhu Wenyu waited for the opportunity to cut off a few palms, killed a few dragon killers, fled in the wilderness, and had a vicious battle on the Chaotianmen pier, fled to the boat, Du Feng and others chased by boat, Zu Jiangsheng went into the water to scuttle the boat to save them, So that I don't know life and death, all kinds of situations are briefly said one by one, speaking of Zu Jiangsheng sacrificing his life to jump off the Yangtze River, I sighed in my heart, I can't help but feel a little sour, although I know that the strong enemy chased at that time, even if Zu Jiangsheng is very good in water, it is difficult to have vitality, but I still hope that God can favor good people, and Zu Jiangsheng can return to life. The desert was also embarrassed when he heard it, but He Wencan was expressionless and silent, just quietly and carefully listening to Zhu Wenyu's reply.
"In this way, Brother Zhu didn't know the inside story that time, but just saw that Du Feng walking with the lamas of the Western Regions and the Mongols? Who are they, Brother Zhu is not clear? After listening to Zhu Wenyu, He Wencan was silent for a long time and said suddenly.
