Chapter 41: The Three Stooges
Jiang Dawei sent the Iron Devil Gang to assassinate the Second Highness Mu Yunhan, which was completely an accidental business at the wine table.
On that day, he and the sister-in-law of the Imperial History of the Criminal Department, who was also an idle Xie An and Marquis Xie, and the leader of the Iron Demon Gang had a drink in Fengxi Yulou.
I don't know how many rounds of wine have passed, Jiang Dawei mentioned the day of the selection of the crown princess, and the more he talked about the wine, the more angry he became.
"You say, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my nephew, and I can't embarrass him in front of my sister, but this second prince Du Yunhan made me unable to get off the stage at that time."
"The beauty that this marquis and the second prince met on the same day, the second prince actually said in public that he made a lifelong agreement with that beauty, isn't this a clear deception to me? He is really a bully, Jiang Xiaohou. ”
This Xie Anke is Jiang Dawei's loyal lackey, relying on his father is the imperial history of the Criminal Department, he has some power in his hands, and he is also a guy who shows off his martial arts and power in the capital on weekdays, and if he doesn't like it, he immediately sent his subordinates to arrest him and throw him into his father's prison!
In addition, he and Jiang Dawei are embarrassed by each other, which can be described as another hegemon in the capital.
For the second prince Mu Yunhan, this Xie An also heard of it, but this twilight Yunhan was haunted before, and it was rare to have the opportunity to meet each other head-on.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this second prince is a lustful and amorous person, and he always goes in and out of Fengyue places, but he and Jiang Xiaohou have never met once, and they are frequent visitors to various Fengyue places.
Now that this Twilight Yunhan has been deprived of the crown prince, it makes them look at this second prince even more, and this other eye is not high-minded, but actually looks down on it.
"Little Hou Ye, why are you angry about this? The court should now be the world of your Jiang family, he is a prince who has lost power, are you still afraid that he will not succeed? ”
Let the queen mother blow the pillow wind in front of His Majesty, and it will give you a marriage with that beauty.
As for your nephew, His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't that also a matter of the queen's mother's words, his son will win the world in the future, why worry about women? I'll just leave it to you.
"No, my father personally went to the palace to find the queen's mother, do you know what my sister said? She said that His Majesty had just recovered from a serious illness, and she did not announce her to enter the palace, and if she couldn't see His Majesty's people, she naturally couldn't speak for me!
"It's obviously perfunctory, hum!" Jiang Dawei poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and tasted it listlessly.
"Alas, I'm so worried! Do you have any way to make those two princes stop fighting with me? ”
If the leader of the Iron Gang was not an idiot, he was also a man with a lack of tendons, and his eyes were already dizzy from drinking, and when he heard their conversation, he also began to cooperate with the nonsense.
"What's so difficult about this, Xiao Hou Ye handed it over to me, as long as your money is in place, I will send the top killer of the Iron Gang to cut off his life and remove the trouble for Jiang Xiao Hou Ye."
They are eating in a separate room on the top floor of Fengxi Yulou, Fengxi Yulou has a total of seven floors, it is the highest building in the capital, ordinary guests can only eat at the bottom of the platform, the higher the room, the more noble the identity of the person who eats, from the third floor to the top of each floor there are ten rooms, all of which are specially reserved for the nobles of the capital palace.
After listening to the helper's words, Jiang Dawei quickly got up and opened the door to look out, then closed the door tightly, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket and slapped it on the wine table: "If you do it for the marquis, you will be free for the rest of your life." ”
The leader of the Iron Demon Gang drank to the fullest, and when he heard the word second prince in his ears, he didn't think about it carefully at all, and what he thought in his head might be as simple as a jealous son and brother who was jealous of Jiang Dawei.
Seeing the pile of silver tickets, the wine suddenly poured up, patted his chest and said, "Little Marquis, don't worry, tell me where to find him?" Guarantee that no one will rob you of beauty in the future. ”
Jiang Dawei was overjoyed, someone went up to the pole to clear the obstacles for him, of course he was very willing.
He knew that the second prince had a private house outside the palace, although the last time he was in Nishang Pavilion, the family who was following him was dumped, but after that, Jiang Dawei specially sent the family to inquire again, and finally found out the specific location.
Jiang Dawei was always a little afraid of the second prince in his heart, every time he saw Twilight Yunhan, his legs and stomach turned a little tendons, let alone kill him.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the second prince's exit from the palace to occasionally visit the private house to try to make friends with Du Yunhan, but on the day when the crown princess was selected, Jiang Dawei no longer had that idea in his heart.
Xie An said with help on the side: "The main thing to help is to let Jiang Xiaohou relieve the sorrow in his heart, and he will be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future!"
"Come and drink, drink." Jiang Dawei raised his glass.
"When I send the family to tell you the location of the private house, the helper will let those killers wait for him, and they will be able to wait for him, even if they can't kill him, it's good to hurt him, it's best to abolish one of his legs or an arm, and then see how he still fights with me."
"Drink, drink." Xie An also raised his wine glass, and several people drank happily together, and in this way, the idea of assassinating the second prince Mu Yunhan was born from the wine game.
After the leader of the Iron Gang woke up the next day, he saw Jiang David's family coming to the door and wanted to take him to the second prince's private residence to recognize the door.
At that time, he couldn't wait to secretly smack a few big mouths, even if he borrowed a hundred guts, he didn't dare to assassinate the second prince! Their own gangs are usually petty fights, bullying incompetent or unarmed people.
Besides, he doesn't have any top-level killers in his hands, they are all pieced together by the mountain villagers, and the martial arts of those few practitioners are just worthy of scaring and scaring people.
It's just that the words have come out and he can't regret it, and the helper doesn't dare to regret it, if he doesn't send someone to assassinate the second prince, then Jiang Dawei will also kill him! Don't even think about any glory and wealth.
Therefore, the leader of the Iron Evil Gang, who is no longer two, really sent more than a dozen of his subordinates to lurk in Mu Yunhan's private residence every day, waiting for the appearance of the second prince.
He is a common person, how can he know that Mu Yunhan is accompanied by a guard every day, and with this guard leader, Han Li, the master of the Great Interior, it is enough to deal with a dozen of them.
After waiting for a few days, the so-called master sent by the leader of the Iron Gang had not moved for several days, and he sent people to inquire nearby, but there was no news, and all those people disappeared without a trace.
He couldn't eat and sleep well, and he didn't dare to report to Jiang Dawei and Xie An, so he hurriedly went to the money bank to cash out those silver tickets, rolled up and ran away.
By the time Jiang Dawei and Xie An looked for him again, this person was already gone.
Jiang Dawei felt that he had been tricked, and offered a heavy reward, vowing to catch this helper who cheated money, bring him back, and he would kill him with his own hands.
He and Xie An both thought that this gang leader had fled with money, but they didn't think that this gang leader really sent someone to kill Twilight Yunhan, but the whole army was wiped out.
Mu Yunhan threw those people into the prison of the Criminal Department, and sent someone to invite a doctor to treat the injuries of the man in black who had his hands and feet cut. Let them go to jail while recuperating from their wounds.
In the General's Palace,
Xiao Qinxue woke up in the morning, and asked the maid Ling'er to quickly dress her up, she wanted to prepare for tomorrow's wine tasting poetry meeting, and rushed to the Imperial History Mansion of the Criminal Department to conspire with Xie Xiaoyu and Zhao Qiyue of the Hubu Shangshu family.
They didn't invite Li Daiyun from the Imperial Doctor's family tomorrow, because they knew that Li Daiyun and Ling Zhiqiao were good friends, but invited some nobles from other palaces in Beijing, including Zhang Liu'er, the daughter of the Yin family of the Taiwei Mansion, who was fat and round.
After that day, Xiao Qinxue didn't know that Ling Zhiqiao had married Jin Lan with four of the people in the academy.
This wine tasting is led by a different person each time, and it is also small-scale, and it is intended to make friends with people who are useful to you, in the words of the previous life, this is a sorority.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Xiao Qinxue brought Zhang Liu'er of the Yin family of the Taiwei Mansion, in fact, it was just a number.
When she arrived at the imperial historian of the Criminal Department, Xiao Qinxue met Xie An who was going out as soon as she got off the carriage.
Xie Anke coveted Xiao Qinxue's appearance early on, but Xiao Qinxue didn't fancy him at all.
Seeing Xiao Qinxue's visit early in the morning, Xie Anxi smiled, and his eyes let out a lewd light and said, "Isn't this Sister Xiao?" He came to the house today, but he came to me. ”
Xiao Qinxue was annoyed by this Xie An, a man with oily hair and a long horse, anyone who looked at it would feel very uncomfortable.
Just to take care of Xie Xiaoyu's face, she also pretended to smile: "Master Xie doesn't dare to make such a joke, I'm here to find your sister Xie Xiaoyu." ”
"What are you looking for my sister to do? You might as well just look for me, and I'll take you whatever you want? ”
Xiao Qinxue pursed her lips and smiled: "Master Hou, I see that you are already drunk before you have eaten, so if you have something, you should hurry up and do something!" Xiao Qinxue didn't want to entangle with him.
It's just that this Xie An naturally feels good about himself and goes straight to the hook. stared at Xiao Qinxue's towering chest, and his eyes did not shy away from it.
"See the girl. Xie An is better than drinking, and he is even more intoxicated than drunk! "This Xie An didn't learn anything else, but with Jiang Dawei, he learned this stalking and shameless kung fu.
Xiao Qinxue was entangled by Xie An at the door like this, and she was helpless for a while.
"Xie An, you get out of here!"
This shout came from the palace of the Imperial History of the Criminal Department, and it was the concubine Xie Xiaoyu.
Xie Xiaoyu usually looks down on Xie An's actions, and does not hesitate to be with him, although she is also arrogant, but she is a dare to love and hate. Hate people who don't hide it.
Xie An was bored, he was used to being taught by his sister, and he was not angry and said: "Yu'er, you can talk, but you can accompany Sister Xiao for your brother." ”
Seeing Xie An leave, Xiao Qinxue asked, "Is your brother going to find Jiang Dawei again?" ”
"Who else but him?" Xie Yu looked disdainful.
Xiao Qinxue thought to herself, this is to save the need for a message, and when they discuss it today, let this Marquis Xie go to Jiang Dawei to pass the word.
Xie Xiaoyu led Xiao Qinxue into the mansion, and the two said as they walked: "Have you thought about it, you will really implement your plan tomorrow?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.
"That's inevitable, that day in the Women's Virtue Academy, she humiliated us like this, even if I, Xiao Qinxue, endured this breath, you and Zhao Qiyue couldn't recognize it!"
"When Zhao Qiyue comes, let's discuss it in detail, so as not to show flaws tomorrow, we will definitely help you."
"Then I'll bother the two sisters, and when Qin Xue really chooses the crown princess, I will be grateful."
"Thank you, we don't lack those things. However, Sister Zhao of the Hubu Shangshu family seems to have taken a fancy to His Royal Highness.
Xiao Qinxue realized in her heart that the daughter of Hubu Shangshu wanted to be the imperial concubine of the second prince!
The second prince is now like a piece of jewelry that Xiao Qinxue likes, there is always an outdated time, he doesn't want it, but if someone picks it up, she is reluctant to give it.
Hearing Xie Xiaoyu's voiceover, Xiao Qinxue felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't express it, Xiao Qinxue still understood which was more important.
"If Sister Zhao's mind is clear, Qin Xue is not incapable of helping." The two walked side by side and chatted pretendically, and Zhao Jiyue came in.
"How can it help? Who helped whom? Xiao Qinxue's shoulder was patted.
Xiao Qinxue saw that it was Zhao Qiyue, and immediately put her mind at ease: "Sister Zhao, we are talking about helping each other."
