Chapter 998: Seeking glory by retreating, seducing a maid with a concubine

Shengye Fang, the mansion of Zhang Wenqian in the service.

Li Xuan, who was dressed in a black gold silk robe, sat on the side of the bed, and pressed her right hand on Zhang Wenjun's vein door lying on the bed.

The hot skin came from his fingers, Li Xuan's eyes fell on the bed, and Zhang Wenqian still closed his eyes.

Fell asleep.

It's serious.

After a while, Li Xuan raised his hand, then looked at Wei Xuanzang on the side and said, "Teacher, this fever can't go down, I'm afraid it's related to the cracks in the bones in Zhang Xiang's body, and the bone cracks and fever need to be treated at the same time, so that the fever can go down." ”

Zhang Wenqian first fell, then contracted the wind cold, and finally had a fever all over his body, so that the fever could not go away.

"It turns out that there is still a cracked bone." Wei Xuanzang reacted immediately, because even if there was no wind chill, bone cracking would also cause a person to have a high fever that would not go away.

It's just that it's useless to treat wind and cold, and both must be treated at the same time to cure the disease.

Before Wei Xuanzang came, Zhang Wenqian had already taken medicine and slept over, so he didn't know about the bone crack at all.

Now that he understands the situation, Wei Xuanzang quickly prescribes a new prescription.

He glanced at Li Xuan, and seeing that Li Xuan's expression was calm, Wei Xuanzang nodded and said, "Next, be more careful." ”

Li Xuan was involved in such a matter at the moment, and the conspiracy was treacherous, and Wei Xuanzang knew how troublesome it was just by thinking about it.

But looking at Li Xuan's expression, he already had an idea.

It's a good thing to have an idea, and it's much better than a headless fly scurrying around.

……

Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Wenjun, who was still in a coma, and thought about leaving the inner room.

"Lord Wang, how is the situation?" Weiwei Shaoqing Zhang Qia couldn't help but take a step forward and seriously bowed his hand to Li Xuan, his face full of worry.

On the side, the faces of Zhang She, the young eunuch in the hall, and Zhang Xiaoxun, the Taichang Shaoqing, were also full of worry.

Li Xuan smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, the three of you don't have to worry, Zhang Gong just didn't find out the reason for the fever in his body, now that everything is clear, the fever will soon subside, and then he will be fine." ”

Wei Wei Shaoqing Zhang Qia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked nervously: "Lord Wang, what about other aspects?" ”

Zhang She, the young eunuch in the palace, and Zhang Xiaoxun, the young eunuch of Taichang Shaoqing, became nervous at the same time.

The Zhang family is a big family, born in Qinghe, and a descendant of Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Wenjun's elder brother Zhang Wenshu was the crown prince of the filial piety emperor Li Hong, and died of illness seven years ago; His younger brother Zhang Wencong, who served as a household servant, also died of illness at an early age.

Zhang Wenshou's son Zhang Xiaoxun is now too often Shaoqing.

Zhang Wencong's son, Zhang Xi, is now the assassin of Jiangzhou.

Zhang Wenqian had six sons, the eldest son Zhang Yi, who died young; the second son, Zhang Qian, served as the assassin of Weizhou; the third son, Zhang Pei, served as the assassin of Tongzhou; the fourth son, Zhang Qia, served as Weiwei Shaoqing; The fifth son, Zhang She, was appointed as a young eunuch in the palace; The sixth son, Zhang Chong, was appointed as the commander of Jiexiu County.

Wanshi Zhang's family was famous for a while.

Despite this, Li Xuan knew that these children of the Zhang family had ordinary qualifications, and it was okay to be a state assassin, and if they wanted to go up, they would be a little troublesome.

Once there is no Zhang Wenjun, the servant on top, these children may only be able to slowly fall silent, and then wait for the descendants to rise.

Li Xuan took a light breath and said in a low voice: "The three of them don't blame Xuan bluntly, people are old, weak and loose bones are inherently, and the most taboo is to fall, once they fall, it is inevitable that the bones will crack, even if the condition is slight, it is not easy to go out again, so it is best to recuperate at home." ”

Hearing Li Xuan say this, the expressions of Zhang Qia, Zhang She, and Zhang Xiaoxun instantly hesitated.

If you can't go out to recuperate, can you still be a waiter, and can you still be a prime minister?

No.

"The three of them are not outsiders, so it's too much." Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Qia, Zhang She, and Zhang Xiaoqing, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Gong's age is not young, and it is a matter of time before he is promoted.

Your Majesty is afraid that there is a lot of compensation, but in Chang'an, is there still a lack of opportunities to see Your Majesty? ”

Zhang Qia's eyebrows raised instantly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Zhang Wenqian got to the point where he is now, somewhat because of the struggle between the government and the opposition, and may even involve the prince, and it is good for them to take the initiative to retreat at this time.

"And." Li Xuan paused slightly, and said in a low voice: "The root of the matter this time is very likely to be here. ”

Since Hao Chujun was plotted, all the prime ministers have been very careful in entering and leaving, but even so, Zhang Wenjun was still calculated.

That's it all this time, so what about next time!

Zhang Qia's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the prince to find out the real murderer and give the Zhang family justice." ”

"Good!" Li Xuan nodded, and then gave his hand: "Xuan will go first." ”

"Please!"

……

Li Xuan walked out of the door, and the afternoon sun came directly.

Wanshi Zhang's family, not to mention the other assassins for the time being, Zhang Qia is Wei Wei Shaoqing, Li Xuan's uncle Ouyang Tong's deputy; Zhang Shi served as the young eunuch in the palace, and Li Xuan's current official position of Shangyao Fengyu has not been removed, and Zhang Shen is half of Li Xuan's superior; Zhang Xiaoxun is too often Shaoqing, and he has a lot of dealings with the children of the clan.

If Zhang Wenqian can retire smoothly this time, then among these three people, one or two must be able to take a step forward, which is the position of the Nine Temples Temple.

That's when the relationship comes into play.

Retracting his thoughts, Li Xuan walked to the lobby of the front yard.

In the courtyard, all the servants and subordinates in the palace stood tremblingly.

In the hall, Di Renjie's face was grim, Xu Yu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Pei Judao, the waiter of the Criminal Department, stood in the hall, and there was a maid kneeling in front of the three of them.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, then stepped forward and arched his hand: "How is the investigation?" ”

"No one should calculate that Zhang Gong was infected with wind and cold, but it was this woman who fell." Di Renjie's eyes swept coldly over the little maid.

"It's rare that people are still alive." Li Xuan smiled and walked up to the maid.

In the prime minister's house, the door is strictly controlled, and those who can do it to the prime minister are naturally not outsiders, as long as they are inspected among the servants and subordinates at home, they will be able to gain something.

No, before Li Xuan arrived at Zhang's mansion, Di Renjie had already begun to investigate, and after Li Xuan inquired about Zhang Wenjun, they had already found someone.

Di Renjie's ability to investigate the case does not need Li Xuan to question anything.

……

Twenty-eight years old, beautiful appearance, good figure, I don't know whose maid it is.

Li Xuan walked in front of her and said with a gentle smile: "This king is your last chance, you must seize it, otherwise you will be sent to Dali Temple Prison, and Qianniu Prison, and you will suffer a great sin, okay, to be honest, who made you murder your master......"

"According to the law of Tang, the slave plotter, hang." Di Renjie's angry voice sounded on the side.

Li Xuan waved his hand and glanced at Di Renjie angrily: "Go, go, go, okay, girl, tell this king what your name is." ”

The maid trembled and whispered, "Water...... Apricot water. ”

"Okay, Shui Xing, you came to tell this king, did you see someone the day before you started, or did someone send you a message?"

Shui Xing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she was never able to speak.

"Well, if you don't want to say it, then take it." Li Xuan raised her head, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Order, go and check her parents, brothers, and all those who are alive will be imprisoned and severely punished......"

"Don't." Shui Xing raised her head suddenly, looked at Li Xuan with pleading, and finally grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "I said, I said ......"

"Who?"

"It's Uncle." After Shui Xing finished speaking, she lowered her head heavily.

"Who is Uncle?" Li Xuan raised his head and his eyes fell on the butler on the side.

The housekeeper was suddenly excited, and then stepped forward and said, "It's Miss Sun's future husband, Gao Wei." ”

"The Gao family, which Gao family? Bohai Gaojia? Li Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Bohai Gao's is one of the top Datang gate valves.

Pingyuan County Gong, Gao Kan, the squire of the military department, so Gao Shilian, the Duke of Shenguo, are all children of the Baihai Gao clan.

"He is the son of Gao Xianxing, the prince of Le'an County and the head of the household department, and he is Gao Wei of Shangcheng." The butler bowed deeply. 、

Gao Shen Xing, so the son of Shen Guogong Gao Shilian.

If you talk about the entire Tang Dynasty, the one Li Xuan is most unwilling to deal with is Gao Shilian's descendants.

Gao Shilian's eldest son, Gao Cheng, once married Princess Dongyang, the daughter of Emperor Taizong, was implicated by the eldest grandson Wuji, demoted to the governor of Hongzhou, and was reappointed as the assassin of Yongzhou, and died in office.

Gao Yao, the illegitimate son of Gao Zheng, is a thousand-faced Buddha under the command of the king of the East China Sea.

Gao Shilian's fourth son, the eldest son of Gao Zhenxing, the general of the right guard, is Gao Qi, the East Palace Dianshancheng.

The matter actually involved the Gao family, although I don't know if Gao Qi was directly involved, but if the privacy collusion is forcibly linked, it can definitely be colluded.

Li Xuan finally understood why the prince was so flustered about this matter.

I can't say, there is really evidence that Gao Qi is directly involved.

Li Xuan squatted down, looked straight at Shui Xing and said, "Your aunt said it himself, let you splash water on the ground, and directly slide your master?" ”

"Yes." Shui Xing's words, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

"When, when, where?" Li Xuan asked directly.

"At noon the day before the accident, my uncle came to see the young lady, and told the slave and maid in private, saying that the master had always looked down on the uncle, saying that he would let the master lie down for two days and prepare for the marriage. Shui Xing trembled and told all the truth of the matter.

"Can your aunt meet your young lady before marriage?" Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My uncle is also a young master, the Zhang family and the Gao family have been married for several generations, and this generation is the second lady and the young master of the Gao family." ”

The marriage between the Zhang family and the Gao family can even be traced back to the Gao Huan era of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

In the previous generation, it was Gao Shilian's youngest daughter, who married Zhang Wenjun's fourth son, Weiwei Shaoqing Zhang Qia.

These two young ladies are Zhang Qia's second daughters, Gao Xianxing is Zhang Qia's brother-in-law, and Gao Wei is Zhang Qia's nephew.

The cousins have known each other since childhood, and although the two have a marriage contract, they have not made up their minds after all, so it is still okay to meet.

……

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Shui Xing, and said in a quiet voice: "Your ability is good, you can avoid the eyes of the guards at home, and do your hands and feet on the road where your master is going to walk in advance, this skill, this courage, is not something ordinary people can have." ”

Di Renjie, Xu Yu and Pei Judao stared at Shui Xing at the same time.

Even if someone asked her to murder Zhang Wenjun, maybe she was once moved, but ordinary people, even if they have ideas in their hearts, what to do, when to do it, and where to do it, it is difficult for them to find the right answers to these questions in a short time.

Not to mention, it is necessary to avoid the guards in the mansion at the right time and accurately, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

This water apricot, her secret is not so simple.

Shui Xing smiled sadly and said: "The slave is a slave of the Gao family, his parents married into the Zhang family with his wife, and his hands and feet are also family heirlooms, as for the rest, it is nothing more than on the road where the master often comes and goes, splashing a basin of water in the dead of night, and after freezing, sprinkle a thin layer of soil on it, and only the master gets up in the morning to go to court." ”

Shui Xing's words completely solved all the doubts.

Also, the Gao family wants to use people, in addition to seducing with vague promises in the future, the most important thing is that she is originally a member of the Gao family.

Li Xuan stood up straight and said calmly: "Put the person in the hands of the secret guards and take strict care." ”

Di Renjie was slightly stunned: How do you put people in the hands of secret guards?

Without waiting for him to understand, Li Xuan continued: "Let's go, let's go to the Shenguo Mansion to have a look, lest we go too late and people will have been wiped out." ”

Everyone's faces couldn't help but change.
