This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 56

The next day, Wang Dong brought the elites from the Taoist temple to the office space allocated to him by Zhu Yunwen on Gennan Street in Donghuang City.The main reason is that it is inconvenient for such a large institution to always live in Cao Guogong's mansion.

Wang Dong walked around in his new room. Wang Dong was still a little depressed about the name Dongchang, so he couldn't help asking Liu Bao: "You said the name given by the Holy Spirit, does it sound good?"

"The Dongchang fanzi is doing business, and the idlers are waiting to leave... Uh, what are you talking about, Mr. Zhang?"

Seeing Liu Bao enjoying himself with his newly issued Dongchang waistband, Wang Dong finally gave up: Well, this guy really likes to do it...

"It's nothing, take Liu Shiyong and Wang Hongsheng, and let's check the situation."

Although Wang Dong, the East Factory, does not have any level, Zhu Yunwen can still mobilize the resources of the Sanfa Division and Jinyiwei with Zhu Yunwen's face, but it is only a three-acre land in Nanjing City. After leaving Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen's words are now Not many people listened.

When Wang Dong went out to investigate the case, a middle-aged man was listening to his subordinates' report with a teacup in a mansion somewhere in the capital that was no less imposing than Cao Guogong's mansion.

"Zhu Yunwen really wants to investigate this matter?" He suddenly frowned and asked.

The man who looked like a housekeeper whispered: "The emperor issued an edict this morning to ask the Sanju and Jin Yiwei to cooperate with Wang Dong in investigating the case, and they can use the files to interrogate the criminals."

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said to himself: "I don't care what Wang Dong is, but he is Zhu Yunwen's personal anyway, and Zhu Yunwen's doing this shows that he really doesn't want to get along with him... But now it's a troubled time. Well, that Wang Dong is just a wandering Taoist priest, he was assassinated and did not die, originally according to our thinking, he should just calm things down. Why did he go to war for such a thing?"

He thought about it and suddenly seemed to understand something, so he said to the manager: "Who else did Zhu Yunwen meet yesterday?"

"The emperor didn't go out of the palace yesterday. He listened to several officials' reports about the war. After that, he went to the study to read books to relieve boredom. He met Hanlin Chengji and Monk Puqia."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Sure enough!"

He couldn't help being excited, paced around, and finally whispered to the steward: "Zhu Yunwen is about to run away!"

The steward was shocked when he heard this, "But... isn't everyone in the capital saying that the emperor wants to live and die with the capital?"

The middle-aged man laughed, very proud of guessing Zhu Yunwen's thoughts, he shook his hand and said: "That's Fang Xiaoru not letting him go, Zhu Yunwen is not that stupid, he guessed whether the capital can keep it."

"Cheng Ji and Pu Qia are both Zhu Yunwen's closest confidantes. They summoned two people in a day, and they are probably discussing the matter of escaping."

"As for asking Wang Dong to investigate the case, it is very easy to explain. Now there are no less than [-] soldiers in the capital, and the sources of Qin Wang's troops from all walks of life are mixed. It is impossible to go to Yan Wang's side as an internal response. It must be a combination of various forces."

"If Zhu Yunwen wants to live and die with the capital, the best choice at this time is naturally to be with the light. No matter what the officials and generals under his command think, he must show that he is close to him, so that those who are determined to defend him will be more loyal, and those who want to take refuge in Yan will be more loyal. The king's people will also be suspected by the king of Yan because of his favor, which will increase the difficulty for them to seek refuge, and it is absolutely impossible to investigate the case arbitrarily and cause everyone to be nervous."

"But if Zhu Yunwen wants to run away, he should be afraid that King Yan lurking in the capital will break his escape, so he must find us."

The butler suddenly realized when he heard the words, and couldn't help saying: "My lord is wise, so the emperor has such an idea. What should I do next?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Although Zhu Yunwen is the emperor on the surface, King Yan's offensive is fierce. Now when he speaks in the capital, how many people are willing to obey him? It's nothing more than obedience and disobedience."

"After Wang Dong was assassinated, the officials in the capital were already afraid of King Yan, and fewer people dared to directly contact King Yan to express their intention to surrender. However, everyone was still afraid that King Yan would really come to the capital. Be smart. At least we know both ends of the story. Even if we know something, we are probably afraid of the retaliation from King Yan after he enters the city, so we dare not tell Zhu Yunwen about it. As long as we handle the beginning and end well and don’t reveal our secrets, most likely no one will dare to betray us."

The middle-aged man thought for a while, and asked the supervisor in front of him, "Where is Xu Jie locked up now?"

The steward quickly replied: "He is in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He is quite tough and did not open his mouth to confess his master."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Get rid of him, we can't take any risk."

The steward was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sinister look on his face, "I obey, little one!"

Walking out of the master's room, the person in charge immediately went out to find someone to order.

In the afternoon, a jailer from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment came to him with some fear. The steward, Xu Qing, brought out five taels of silver and gave instructions to the jailer. After hearing a few words, the jailer couldn't help opening his mouth in fright, and shook his head again and again to express dare not.

Xu Qing smiled, "If you don't do it, I will find someone else, but I don't have anything against you, and I am afraid that you will tell the matter, so if I really find someone else, then I will not only kill the assassin, but I will also have to kill the assassin." Labour, you have gone to the underworld."

The jailer turned pale when he heard the words, and finally accepted the money.

Xu Qing watched him leave with a smile, and called another person to give some instructions.

In the middle of the night, the prison of the Ministry of Justice flooded, and the fire was delayed for half an hour before it was extinguished. Several cells were burnt to coke. The burned ones were like roast suckling pigs, and it was impossible to survive the next day.

In the early hours of the same night, a jailer from the Ministry of Criminal Justice hanged himself at home. According to investigations, he was the person guarding the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who accidentally escaped the fire that night. The reason why he committed suicide was because he was afraid of guilt.Seeing the death of the pillar of the family, the five members of the prisoner's family were desperate and committed suicide.

Early in the morning, when the curfew was lifted, Xu Qing sat on the grand master's chair, listened to his subordinates' report, and nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Qing pushed the five large pieces of silver that the man had brought back from Laozi's house into his arms, and said with a smile: "You did a good job, this is what my master rewards you for."

The subordinate quickly smiled all over his face, and he swung and bowed. He only picked up one big silver, and pushed the remaining four back to Xu Qing, saying:
"Thank you, Manager Xu, for giving me this opportunity. I can't repay you. I don't deserve this much money."

Xu Qing laughed loudly: "You're pretty good at handling things, I won't forget you next time."

He collected the four silver coins, and the other party nodded and bowed out.

When the other party went out, Xu Qing couldn't help stretching.

Xu Jie was burned to death, and knowing that the jailers at the beginning and the end were also silenced, it must be impossible for Wang Dong to find them here again.

Although he didn't do it himself, he was still on tenterhooks that night, and now he could finally have an explanation with his master.

Xu Qing got up, and was about to walk out of the servant's yard and to his master's place, when he heard a commotion outside.

He was about to go out to have a look, when suddenly the door of his small courtyard was pushed open.

Xu Qing couldn't help being furious. He walked to the door and said, "Who is so bold? So early in the morning, you want to overturn the world?"

Looking at it, Xu Qing saw a few people dressed as Taoist priests outside pushing the servants in their mansion to the ground, and a young Taoist priest looked at him with his hands behind his back.

After asking for information in the past two days, Xu Qing was very familiar with the Taoist priest's appearance, and couldn't help but froze when he saw him.

"Xu Zengshou's housekeeper, Xu Qing, right?"

"What...what's the matter?"

Wang Dong took out a waist badge and waved it, "Dongchang is handling the case, please come with us."
