The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao listened with some interest, wondering how powerful this Wu Sanlang was.

Of course, Xu Yao is not a war-loving person. She just wants to see how exciting it would be if the number one in the world fights with the number two in the world.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Shuo thought that she was unwilling to listen to his advice, so he said anxiously: "Master, what I said is absolutely true, I really didn't lie to you. Wu Sanlang is really not someone you can easily mess with. If it really doesn't work, let's put Wang Muzhi's matter aside for now."

When Zheng Chi appeared here, Pei Shuo felt that the other party had set a trap and was waiting for them to fall into it.

Xu Yao thought about it and felt that killing Zheng Chi now would neither make money nor be a lot of effort, so he simply decided not to do it.

"I can't move Zheng Chi, but can I move Wang Muzhi? Don't worry, I will never break my promise to you. I will definitely get your father's whereabouts from him."

Pei Shuo couldn't help but feel hopeful when he heard her words, "I will work like a slave to repay my master in the future."

Xu Yao hit him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just be a good person instead of being a slave."

Xu Yao planned to go to the Wang family's ancestral home and tie Wang Muzhi up.

As a result, when I reached the gate, I saw from a distance that Wang Muzhi got on the Iron Armored Guard's carriage and was taken all the way to the Iron Armored Guard.

Xu Yao knew without thinking that there were many assassins from Yuan Qingzong here.

If she dared to take action here, even if she could retreat unscathed, she would be exhausted.

It takes so much effort to kill Wang Muzhi, it is really a losing deal.

Xu Yao didn't want to waste his energy, so he didn't do it.

Pei Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can lure them out."

Xu Yao was thinking about how to blow up the Armored Guards and then take advantage of the chaos to get Wang Muzhi out.

After hearing what Pei Shuo said, I was immediately confused.

"Look at him, he is afraid of death. Zhuang Mu also said that this Wang and Zheng Chi are not on good terms, and now he has run to Zheng Chi's base camp to hide in order to save his life. It can be seen that I am more terrifying than Zheng Chi. What method can be used to lure him out?"

Pei Shuo smiled and said, "I have investigated and found out that Wang Muzhi loves money and has many businesses under his control. The most famous one is a treasure house. The treasures sold in the treasure house are all rare treasures from the Western Regions. They are extremely precious and the annual turnover is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. It is the most profitable business in his hands."

When Xu Yao heard about hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, his eyes lit up: "What is being sold that is so valuable?"

She really couldn't imagine that there were so many rich people in Panjing.

That's hundreds of thousands of taels.

"On the one hand, the things sold here are indeed rare treasures, but on the other hand, they are just a cover-up."

"how do I say this?"

Pei Shuo said: "I've been to the Treasure Pavilion, and the things there are far different from those in the White Silver Building."

When Xu Yao heard him mention the Bai family, he couldn't help but think of Bai Lingzhi. Seeing that he looked normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The guests he usually entertains are either rich or noble, but given his status, how could those people buy into his ideas? So I suspect that the existence of the Treasure Pavilion is a place for bribery and communication in secret."

Xu Yao was surprised. Officials have so many ways. "You mean, these people secretly gave money to the Wang family in the name of buying things. It's really better to have power."

Powerless merchants work hard to earn money, and if the powerful just snap their fingers, these merchants will willingly give away their gold, silver and jewelry.

Pei Shuo nodded, agreeing with her idea.

"But even if that's the case, Wang Muzhi wouldn't come out and die just for a treasure pavilion, right?"

Pei Shuo shook his head: "In my opinion, this Treasure Pavilion is not just Wang Muzhi's business. There are too many people involved behind it, especially the Wang family. At this time, Master Wang was assassinated, and the Jia family is eyeing it covetously, ready to seize the Wang family's handle to prevent the Wang family from biting. In my opinion, if the things behind the Treasure Pavilion are exposed and attract the attention of the emperor's faction, Wang Muzhi will not survive even if he stays in the Iron Guard."

This is the result of being a black glove. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can help to make money and get a share of it.

But if something really happens, you will be the one to take the blame.

Xu Yao sighed, Pei Shuo was indeed a descendant of an aristocratic family, his political sensitivity was much better than hers.

Xu Yao is sometimes smart, but more often he likes to solve problems with force. If he is unhappy with something, he will either kill someone or use force to explode.

Pei Shuo's method was so convoluted that she really couldn't figure it out.

"So what do you think we should do?"

He said: "It's very simple, burn the Treasure Pavilion. I have seen some things in the store that are still very valuable. If the Treasure Pavilion burns down, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Wang family, but the greater loss is that the secrets hidden in the Treasure Pavilion by the Wang family will be known to others, so once the fire starts, Wang Muzhi must come out to deal with the aftermath personally. He must stop anyone from investigating the cause of the accident in the Treasure Pavilion. Even if he wants to investigate, he must do it himself, and never let other officials get involved. After all, the Treasure Pavilion cannot withstand any investigation at all."

Xu Yao gave Pei Shuo a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, not bad. I'll do as you say."

That night, a fire broke out in the Treasure Pavilion.

Beichen, like Da Zhou, does not have a curfew, so at night, many markets are still open and brightly lit.

At first, when the fire lit up, no one noticed anything unusual. It was not until the fire grew bigger that people realized with horror that it was a fire.

So they immediately beat drums and gongs to call people to put out the fire.

The news that the Treasure Pavilion was on fire soon reached Wang Muzhi's ears.

When Wang Muzhi heard this, he was extremely anxious. He didn't care about what he had agreed with Zheng Chi and hurried to the Treasure Pavilion.

Zheng Chi also received the news soon and brought people to stop him.

"Mr. Zheng, if something happens in the Treasure Pavilion, I'm not the only one who will suffer. You will also be implicated. You want to stop me now. Is that appropriate?"

Zheng Chi thought about it and said, "This may be the killer's plan."

"Even if it's a sea of ​​fire, I have to jump down. Besides, you have so many Iron Armored Guards, can't you do anything to a mere killer?" Wang Muzhi felt that Zheng Chi might be trying to trick him. If anything happened to the Treasure Pavilion, he would definitely die.

Wang Muzhi was determined, so Zheng Chi could only order someone to bring a carriage with a stern look on his face and personally accompany him to the Treasure Pavilion.

Xu Yao hid in the dark, watching Wang Muzhi get on the carriage, and nodded to Pei Shuo who was not far away, asking him to act according to the plan.

The master and the disciple acted separately. Xu Yao followed them all the way. When they reached Changming Street, they suddenly stopped and blew a strange bird call with their whistle.

Pei Shuo heard the voice, stopped, and hurried in the direction. "Master, what's wrong?"

"There's been a change of plan. Wang Muzhi is not on the carriage."

"How could that be? We never changed people during the process."

Xu Yao was very confident in her own judgment. When she wanted to kill someone, she would naturally pay close attention to the other person, even his breathing, to make sure that he was the one she wanted to kill.

It just so happened that when the car drove to Changming Street, there were more people.

In the blink of an eye, the breathing sound of the man in the carriage changed.
