In February, the capital ushered in a gentle spring rain, and the soft rain sprinkled on the streets and alleys.

A noble boy with a beautiful jade hanging on his waist is holding an oil-paper umbrella, strolling on the blue brick street, with an indescribable grace.

Several disguised sergeants followed, and one of them directly outflanked the front of the noble son, who was always paying attention to his every move.

Wang Yu heard the news, but he was not exposed to the noble son's field of vision.

Although he and Wang Shouren have not been together for too long, they have already formed a deep friendship with each other, so they have been trying to find the mystery of his fall into the sea.

During this period of time, he has been sending his subordinates to closely monitor Cheng Yi's movements, and Cheng Yi's whereabouts are abnormal today.

"Lord Qianhu, the grizzly bear has entered Wangfu Street!"

"You all stay here, don't startle the snake!!"

……

After so many years of tempering, Wang Yu has a maturity that does not match his age, and after figuring out Cheng Yi's activity trajectory, he faintly feels that Cheng Yi's flaws are here on Wangfu Street.

In order not to startle the snake, he did not let his subordinates rashly enter this kind of place with many eyeliners, but planned to follow it personally to find out the real intention of Cheng Yi to come here.

In this capital city, there is a huge network of relationships that seems to be able to implicate many people.

Since King Xingwang moved from the palace to King Xing's mansion, there have been significantly more people walking around this street, and recently there are vendors who smell business opportunities.

Especially after the news about the emperor's existence of the heir spread, the entire capital officialdom was also surging, whether it was Zhang's Mansion or Xingwang's Mansion, it was obviously more lively.

Hey?

Wang Yu followed Cheng Yi from behind, thinking that Cheng Yi had come to Xingwangfu on the instructions of Cheng Minzheng, but found that Cheng Yi walked directly in front of the Xingwang Mansion.

"Wonton, freshly out of the pot!" Although the sky is raining in the spring, in the inconspicuous corner of the street, a middle-aged couple is here shouting.

Perhaps because of the natural firewood burning, the wonton here seemed to be full of aroma, so that Wang Yu, who followed behind, couldn't help but swallow and spit at the foam.

After seeing Cheng Yi walk into the alley in front of him, Wang Yu did not retreat, and after pretending to walk towards the wanton stall, he turned around and entered the alley to continue tracking.

He always felt that Cheng Yi had a big secret, and the reason why he kept sending people to follow Cheng Yi was to catch Cheng Yi's pigtails so as to know Wang Shouren's true whereabouts.

Although Xinjian Bo has already begun to work on Wang Shouren's tomb, he always believes that Wang Shouren is not dead, but just trapped on an island.

What he can do now is to investigate the truth of last year's shipwreck, ask the real point of the sea from Cheng Yi's mouth, and send people to the sea to find his good brother Wang Shouren.

Bang!

A spring thunder suddenly sounded in the sky of the city of Beijing, causing an echo in the hutong ahead.

The clothes on Wang Yu's body had been wet by the spring rain, and he didn't see Cheng Yi at the end, and there was a dead end in front of him, even if he realized the danger.

Just as he was about to escape from here, someone appeared behind him silently, and then there was a heart-piercing pain in his lower back.

He tried to turn around and look at the assailant, who turned out to be the owner of the wanton stall just now.

It's just that his body swooped forward like a kite with a broken string, and his body produced an unbearable pain, and then his eyes were black and unconscious.

The gloomy sky was gray, the spring rain was still falling, and the thin raindrops fell on Wang Yu's body, and the blood bloomed like flowers.

"Cheng Baihu, why are you so careless?" A black-robed man came out of the secret door with Cheng Yi, looked at Wang Yu who was lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but blame.

Cheng Yi also didn't expect that he would be followed, and was shocked to see that the person who fell in a pool of blood turned out to be Wang Yu: "How can this person be Wang Yu?" ”

"Not good! The Metropolitan Procuratorate may have set its sights on us! When the black-robed man learned that the person who was following him turned out to be Wang Yue's grandson, he suddenly had a very bad association.

Cheng Yi realized that things were worse than he thought, if it weren't for the fact that they were targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of the last shipwreck, then their organization had become the target of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's investigation.

The former can be said to be dead without proof, but the latter is enough for him and their entire Cheng Mansion to be buried together.

Cheng Yi knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and now was not the time for a woman's benevolence, so he immediately made a movement to wipe his neck.

The boss of the wonton stall is the killer of the organization, and after getting the latest instructions, he nodded lightly.

He clenched the sharp knife in his hand with his backhand, and accurately delivered the final blow to Wang Yu's heart, and at the same time, the materials of his wonton stall would not need to go to the vegetable market tomorrow.

It was at this moment that the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind.

"Stop!"

Hu Jun arrived with his men and saw that the owner of the wanton stall was preparing to commit murder, so he shouted to stop.

The boss of the wonton stall turned his head in shock, only to see a few wolf-like people rushing towards him, and these people pulled out the waist knives of the unified system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate one after another.

"Wang Yu! Take him down! When Hu Jun saw Wang Yu lying in a pool of blood, he suddenly shouted with tears in his eyes.

As soon as he learned that Wang Yu was in danger alone, because he thought of Dongfang Wudao's earlier advice, he realized that Wang Yu was likely to be in danger.

Even if he brought people into Wangfu Street and came here following the unique mark of the Metropolitan Procuratorate left by Wang Yu, he didn't want things to be as Dongfang Wudao reminded, Wang Yu encountered a bloody disaster.

Burst!

The owner of the wanton stall was forced into a dead end by several sergeants from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and knew that he could not escape, so he immediately decisively wiped his neck with a sharp knife.

This......

Several sergeants who were about to capture the owner of the wonton stall alive saw the wonton stall wiping their necks so neatly, and faintly felt that the owner of the wonton stall had a secret hidden in him.

"It's called Lang Zhong!"

Hu Jun saw Wang Yu, who still had a trace of breath, and shouted loudly.

A group of people hurriedly set out to save people, but they saw that Wang Yu's back had already been stained red with blood, but they knew that Wang Yu was more than lucky this time.

Metropolitan Procuratorate, inside the detention room.

Wang Yu's investigation of Cheng Yi this time was a personal action, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not formally set up the project, but the matter had developed to this point, and Hu Jun could only report to Wang Yue head-on.

After all, Wang Yue is the character of protecting the calf, after seeing Wang Yu who was in a coma due to excessive blood loss, his face suddenly turned cold and said: "Prepare a sedan chair, the old man must enter the palace immediately!" ”

Although all the evidence points to Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi is the emperor's personal guard after all. Even if it is only a small hundred households, the emperor must personally nod his head, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can arrest Cheng Yi.

The spring rain continued, and this rain lasted from morning to evening.

Zhu Youzhi learned of the whole story, but he said unsympathetically: "All the personnel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate must act according to the process, since tracking Cheng Yi is Wang Yu's personal doing, how can so many people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate be mobilized?" Now Wang Yu was stabbed in a dead end, and the murderer has already been punished, so wait for Wang Yu to wake up and discuss it in advance! ”

Unlike many emperors, even if Zhu Youzhu is very fond of Wang Yue, he is not unconditionally messed with by him.

Wang Yu's approach this time did not conform to the regulations of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and if the Repair and Inspection Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had not set up the project and had not received Wang Yue's secret instructions, the resources of the Repair and Inspection Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate could not be used in this way.

Now it is true that Wang Yu is seriously injured, but the perpetrator has been punished on the spot, and the matter may not have anything to do with Cheng Yi, so naturally he can't arrest his own guards and send them to prison because of suspicion.

It's not that Zhu Youzhu doesn't suspect Cheng Yi, nor does he want to protect Cheng Yi, but because Cheng Yi is holding the position of the emperor's personal guard, and his own personal guard is related to his own safety, so naturally he can't let the external yamen arbitrarily arrest him.

It is precisely like this, even if he knows that Cheng Yi has a problem, he does not intend to give the Metropolitan Procuratorate this ability to retaliate.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yu's suspicion of Cheng Yi is not unreasonable, and last year's shipwreck can be described as full of doubts. Li Yanwen is a student of the ship medical department with excellent character and learning, and his body is not enough to commit such a heaval crime, since the crime was dictated by Cheng Yi, so the minister pleaded to investigate the shipwreck last year! Wang Yue knew that he had indeed made an inappropriate request, and immediately solemnly requested.

In the face of this request, Zhu Youzhu asked playfully: "Elder Wang Ge, is your proposal to investigate last year's shipwreck case for public or private?" ”

"For both public and private purposes, the minister really shouldn't ignore the suspicions of the shipwreck, choose to ignore it, and let the real murderer get away with it!" Wang Yue calmly faced his heart and solemnly admitted his mistake.

After this incident, he knew that his choice at that time was wrong, and now that his grandson has suffered this catastrophe, he will undoubtedly bear a lot of responsibility.

What he can do now is to make amends and bring Cheng Yi, the real murderer, to justice, instead of ignoring him because of the difficulty of the investigation.

Zhu Youzhu actually paid attention to last year's shipwreck, and asked jokingly: "Wang Shouren, Zhao Kuo and Li Yanwen have not heard from them so far, and they can be said to have no evidence of their deaths, where do you investigate?" ”

Since it is a lie, there must be some contradictions. I beg Your Majesty to allow the minister to interrogate Cheng Yan, and the minister will do his best to investigate this case, and the matter will definitely be found out! Wang Yue decided to take a risk.

Zhu Youzhi knew that Wang Yue was still affected by Wang Yu's serious injury after all, so he seriously reminded: "You have to think clearly, once the investigation of this matter does not go well, you will have the responsibility of coercing the public for personal gain!" Cheng Yi is my personal guard, even if the investigation is time-limited, let alone bend to him! ”

"Your Majesty, if you really can't find out the inside story, the minister is willing to take responsibility and accept any punishment from Your Majesty!" Wang Yue did not flinch, and seemed to be honest without hesitation.

Zhu Youzhu felt Wang Yue's will, so he nodded lightly: "Since this is the case, I will allow you to interrogate Cheng Yan!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yue was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately thanked him solemnly.

Zhu Youzhu hesitated for a moment, and decided to reveal something unknown: "Wang Aiqing is afraid that he doesn't know something, Li Yanwen is a student recommended by Liu Zhong, the governor of Huguang, to Guozijian by me!" ”

Yes?

Even though Wang Yue had already collapsed before Mount Tai and did not change his color, he couldn't help but feel surging in his heart when he heard that the murderer who was identified by the dignified brocade clothes was actually the emperor's special move.

It's just that as far as he knows, Li Yanwen is a native of Huguang, and there are no outstanding people in the first ten generations of his ancestors, and his father is just a very ordinary Langzhong.

Now that he can enter the Guozijian to study, this can already be regarded as Li Yan's green smoke when he hears his ancestor, but he never expected that it would be the emperor's operation.

The emperor didn't have any intersection with Huguang, so how could he recommend a child from an ordinary Langzhong family, this move was really incredible.

Zhu Youzhu didn't intend to explain the reason, let alone reveal why Li Yanwen had a relationship with him, but just gently raised his hand to let Wang Yue leave.

Hour Yongfang, Chengfu.

Cheng Minzheng faced the personnel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who came to ask for people, and immediately led a group of family members to block the door and scolded angrily: "It's really ridiculous, Wang Yu followed my son and was injured by the murderer, Wang Shichang is this for public and private use?" ”

"Cheng Siqing, we are not here this time for the case of Wang Yu's assassination, but to ask Cheng Yi to return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to assist in investigating the shipwreck last year!" Gao Kui faced this high-ranking official of the third grade, and he also came to the Tao.

Cheng Minzheng's face turned cold, and he said very unhappily: "Isn't the shipwreck case last year already clear?" It's the mad doctor Li Yanwen's doing, don't you want to frame my son? ”

"Our Metropolitan Procuratorate has recently discovered some suspicious points, so we need to send Cheng Yi back to assist in the investigation!" Gao Kui had already prepared his words, and he showed his motives.

Cheng Minzheng snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "I didn't make a noise last year, and now that my grandson has been assassinated, I will retry the shipwreck case." He Wang Shichang is so public and private, it is simply indignant that the old man will hand over his son! Who dares to step into my door and beat the old man to death! ”

Hu Jun saw Cheng Minzheng's unyielding posture, so he looked at Gao Kui and said, "What should I do?" ”

They don't need to worry about other officials. It's just that the object that needs to be caught now is the hundred households in brocade, but there is also a Taichang Siqing who is a third product to protect him, which makes things tricky.

In the event of a violent conflict between the two sides, it would be a good idea for them to re-investigate the shipwreck case at this point in time, as it would not be appropriate for them to re-investigate the shipwreck.

It was the time when he was stalemate, Wang Yue patted the horse over and looked condescendingly at Cheng Minzheng, who was dedicated to protecting his son.

"The lower officials meet the elder Wang Ge! Elder Wang Ge, your actions today will make it difficult for your officials to obey their orders. If you insist on forcing them to break in, then don't blame the lower officials for breaking the net, but you have to see if the emperor treats me or you! Cheng Minzheng saluted seriously, and then said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

This......

Gao Kui saw Cheng Minzheng so threatening, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Yue worriedly.

It would be nice if they had ironclad evidence in their hands, but now they are just suspicious. Once this matter is made bigger, then Wang Yue's reputation will definitely be damaged, and even the emperor will have to stop the investigation.

Wang Yue didn't get off the horse, and kept saying with a gloomy face: "It's limited to seven days, if the shipwreck has nothing to do with Cheng Gongzi, the old man is willing to resign and return to the field!" ”

"Really?" Cheng Minzheng didn't expect to force such a big promise, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Yue decided to put his future on the line, and immediately issued an order to Hu Jun: "The old man speaks and counts!" Hu Jun, bring people in and escort Cheng Yi back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate! ”

The subordinates of the Cheng Mansion originally wanted to stop it, but Cheng Minzheng knew that Wang Yue had staked his future, and he couldn't stop it at all, so he happily asked his subordinates to get out of the way.

When Cheng Yi was escorted out by Hu Jun, he was still depressed, but when he learned of Wang Yue's promise, it was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Not to mention that he would never confess the crimes he had committed, the organization would definitely use this opportunity to force Wang Yue to resign and return to the field, so as to get rid of the emperor as his right-hand man. (End of chapter)
