Zhang Wen didn't understand why he wanted to kill Huang Qi for such a secret thing. It stands to reason that Zhang Wen is just an outsider, what did Wei Zhongxian ask Zhang Wen to mix?

Wei Zhongxian didn't answer, his eyes closed, his throat gurgling, and let Zhang Wen guess for himself. Zhang Wen thought about it for a long time, but he never understood. Could it be that Wei Zhongxian and they are short of people, so they want to pull themselves in? But this is too rash, they didn't know each other before.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian's eyes narrowed a slit, and seeing that Zhang Wen was still standing next to the bookcase and meditating, Wei Zhongxian said in a muffled and unclear nasal voice: "Our family thinks you can't guess it, you think about this matter slowly." But what our family told you, Master Zhang, have you thought about it, are you willing to do it? ”

That incident was the assassination of Huang Qi. Zhang Wen immediately calmed down and quickly weighed it in his mind. To say that in terms of the current situation, of course Zhang Wen can't kill Huang Qi, because the Shen family means that Huang Qi can't be killed, and there is no doubt that Zhang Wen doesn't have the strength to argue with the Shen family and even the interest groups behind him at this time. But in the long run, Zhang Wen realized that this was a good time for the shop, although this Wei Zhongxian was only an ordinary eunuch in the palace, Zhang Wen had already seen the rampant and ruthless appearance of this person. Those two things are not the only one, but in the palace, a rampant person can walk safely to this day, and he must not be a smart person who is wantonly ruthless. Every step of such a person's walk must be to see the way to climb up, but when such a person climbs up, he will not care who he tramples underfoot. If the people's hearts are heaven, then Huang Qi's crime should be ten thousand deaths, but the Son of Heaven is still there, and if Huang Qi, the tax envoy sent by the Son of Heaven, dies through the hands of Zhang Wen, it is a great crime against the sky.

The pros and cons are not easy to weigh, at this time, Zhang Wen suddenly remembered the poison that Zhang Ying gave Huang Qi, and his heart suddenly lit up, but this is a little sorry for Zhang Yan, after thinking about it carefully, he has thought of a perfect solution.

Zhang Wen no longer hesitated, and immediately said: "To be honest, the lower officials didn't understand the reason, but they have long admired the name of Father-in-law Wei, and the matter of Duke Wei's bus generation, Xiaguan didn't dare to disobey." ”

"Oh?" Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, he didn't care about pretending to be deep, his half-squinted eyes actually opened wide, and he smiled, "Know the current affairs, and the children can be taught." ”

At this time, Zhang Wen saw Wei Zhongxian's expression in his eyes, and he was moved by such a nice sentence in his heart? Who knows if this eunuch is pretending? But it's unlikely to pretend, there must be a reason for everything in the world, Wei Zhongxian can't pretend to be a grandson.

Zhang Wen said in a low voice: "The lower officials are going to use poison, as long as the yellow tax makes him poisoned, he will definitely be poisoned and die within nine days." However, this poison has a unique antidote, that people from the Jianghu family often appear in the Shangyu City God Temple, for people to eliminate disasters and receive money, if Wei Gonggong saw the Yellow Tax Envoy go to the City God Temple, it must be because he knew about this poison and went to find the antidote. As long as Gonggong Wei sends someone to follow secretly, the people in the rivers and lakes will not show up for fear of getting into trouble, and the Yellow Tax Envoy will definitely die. ”

Wei Zhongxian's eyebrows, which were drawn with an ink pen, moved, and said with a smile: "This method is very wonderful, and it will die violently in nine days, without making a trace." ”

The matter was explained clearly, and Wei Zhongxian left the county office with the guards. Huang Qi wanted to go along, but people didn't want to go with him.

Wei Zhongxian and the others dressed in ordinary clothes, blended into the passers-by, wandered around for a while, and did not find anyone following, so they took the road to an inn. The other eunuch beside him looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Godfather, do you think that Zhang asked can get things done?" ”

"Hmph." Wei Zhongxian half-squinted his eyes and said, "You didn't look at his awe of our family, he still has the courage to fool our family?" ”

"My son always felt that something was wrong......

Wei Zhongxian said with an unhappy face: "You know a fart, Huang Qi is a person sent by the emperor, we have to leave a way back, who saw that our family has been to the county office?" Huang Qi is a dying person, can he still say it? ”

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Godfather is right. The eunuch said this, but in his heart he still felt that it was not very appropriate for such an unfamiliar person to know the secret.

A few people entered the inn and walked upstairs to the door of the upper room. A few people walked around, and when they saw Wei Zhongxian, they bowed, Wei Zhongxian didn't care about them, and walked directly to the door and knocked on the door.

A eunuch who was also dressed in disguise opened the door for Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian walked in, closed the door with his backhand, and bowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has explained what the slave and maid have done, and the slave and maid have done it." ”

The warm pavilion in the north is covered by a curtain, and the person sitting inside is naturally Zhu Youxiao, the son of the world. Zhu Youxiao is still a teenager, with fair skin, but his face is a little pale and bloodless.

Zhu Youzheng took a book to read there, and after listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, he put down the book. This damn book, many words Zhu Youxiao didn't know, only blamed Li Xuanshi, who raised him, for not letting him read when he was a child.

Zhu Youxiao's face was calm, his expression was very inconsistent with his age, and he only said lightly: "Got it." ”

Although Zhu Youxiao couldn't see the outside behind the curtain, Wei Zhongxian's body was very low, and he didn't dare to be careless at all, and said respectfully: "The slave and maid are waiting outside." ”

Zhu Youxiao rubbed his temples and said, "Wei Zhongxian, when you come in, there is one more thing for you to do." ”

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian hurriedly got up from the ground, his eyes were already squinting, and they were wide open. He was hunched over, and took small steps like a woman, for fear of making a little noise, went up to the curtain, lifted it gently, and as soon as he entered, he hurried down and obeyed the order.

At this time, Zhang Wen in the county government office signed the detention room, looking at the sky outside the window, still thinking about himself. The sun had set, and the sky was glowing with a blood-red color, which was shocking.

After the day's affairs were concluded, Zhang Wen walked to the inner house with different steps, almost hitting the pillars in the corridor. He was thinking about the matter of the prince, since Wei Zhongxian had also arrived in Shangyu County, I am afraid that the prince had also arrived. Zhang Wen didn't need to know where Shizi was, it was useless to know, he wanted to know what Shizi wanted to do.

As soon as he walked to the door of the inner house, Zhang Wen suddenly raised his head, and the soap next to him hurriedly bowed and stood aside. Zhang Wen turned around and said, "Gao Sheng, you go and call Cao An to the inner office immediately." ”

After a while, the housekeeper Cao An walked into the inner office, and there was no one else in the courtyard, so Zhang Wen said in a low voice: "While the city gate is not closed, let's go out of the city." I don't have anyone to trust, just the two of us, you go and prepare some things for the evening. ”

Cao An didn't ask the reason, just did what Zhang Wen wanted. The two of them went out of the city, and walked for a while, and the sky gradually darkened, and the night began. When I walked to the upper city, the moon had risen in the east, because it was the twenty-third day of the winter month, which happened to be the lower Xuanyue.

It was dark all around, and Cao An lit a torch so that he could barely see the road. This village is not as good as the city, and the city should still be brightly lit at this time, but the place outside the city gate is dark, only the faint light in the village, looming, like a ghost fire.
