Minister

56【Six Years of Jiankang】

Wang Yunyi was taken aback when he received the security guard.La Luo, who was kneeling in the middle of the room, was trembling: "In the morning, when the servant left, your majesty, your majesty is out of breath!"

Wang Yunyi settled down: "How about over there now?"

The flattering tortoise climbed a few steps: "The leader of General Xue's personal army has taken a good look at those little servants. The whole palace doesn't know about it yet, and they are waiting for you, General, to make a decision."

Wang Yunyi found Ning Yuan, ordered some things, and ordered Laluo to quickly arrange for him to enter the palace.

Mei Lin was still on the bed at the moment, he was also taken aback, then ordered his cronies, and made the same decision: "Quickly arrange for me to enter the palace!"

"Wait!" Mrs. Meilin suddenly said: "Wait! What is the master doing in the palace now?"

yes!what to do?Mei Lin slapped his head, how could he know such a thing?Isn't it obvious that he wants to tell others that he has a spy?But don't go, it's not okay!Was it planned by Wang Yunyi?Or someone else?have no idea!If you really don't go, don't you just let him say whatever you want?

Mrs. Meilin ordered the spies to retreat: "Isn't there still the eldest son of Shi Shifeng's family?"

Mei Lin stroked his beard and shook his head helplessly: "Then let's do this!"

The facts were not as expected, before noon, all the people in the capital knew that the king had died, and it was widely rumored that he committed suicide.Meilin was confused for a while when he heard the news, even his wife was also confused—who sent this news?Why?

Why?Wang Yunyi immediately thought of Lin Lin!He has been monitoring the palace for several months, and he has sent the most powerful cronies, even Shen Yang's arrival did not relax for a moment!Who can infiltrate?Wouldn't you know it?If you don't come, I will believe you, don't you know?The news spread so quickly!It seems that it has been prepared for a long time!

Ning Yuan frowned: "The common people say they killed themselves, what should we do?"

You actually killed yourself under the supervision of your general king, how will your general king explain?

"Anyway," Ning Yuan glanced at King Monan's body, he was still sitting on the cushion like that, not daring to touch it casually since morning: "It can't be suicide!"

Wang Yunyi nodded and frowned: "Leave this matter to Du Qihuan, you follow me."

The Wang family's personal soldiers increased their strength and began to investigate step by step. Ning Yuan and Wang Yunyi passed through the empty main hall and walked onto the throne.Ning Yuan sniffed the teacup, and then smelled Monan Wang's mouth: "It's poison."

"Poison?" Wang Yunyi was a little surprised: "He kept it privately?"

Ning Yuan forced a smile: "General! It's not that every prince and noble will prepare some rare and strange poison if he wants to commit suicide." Ning Yuan pointed to a patch of ideas on the back of King Monan's hand: "It is very likely that it is a palace poison. It's so common that it's almost impossible to track down the source."

Ning Yuan flattened Monan Wang's body, rubbed his hands and feet carefully: "There is no internal injury, it seems that he just took poison," and put layers of clothes under his legs: "Look at these two pieces of paper. "

One had writing on it, the other was white on both sides and a little wrinkled.

Wang Yunyi looked at the one with the words on it: "Oh! The writing is so scary."

"Anyone who goes against the heavens will not die well." Ning Yuan watched it a few times and sighed: "It really looks like suicide!"

"What about this one?" Wang Xuyi went to get the one without words.

"It's packed with poison."

Wang Yunyi withdrew his hand that was reaching for the sputum bucket.

"It looks like he committed suicide. A king who couldn't bear to be humiliated left a letter of curse in a silent night, and committed suicide by taking poison." Ning Yuan knocked on the table and said.

"Xue Yi is useless! Tell him to pay more attention to it! He actually let this person kill himself at this juncture! Alas!" Wang Yunyi was so angry.

Ning Yuan suddenly smiled: "Don't you find it strange, General?"

Wang Yunyi looked at Ning Yuan very strangely.

"The king of Monan cherishes himself the most. He should have killed himself long ago. Why wait until today? It's like... like it was prepared for someone."

Wang Yunyi was surprised: "For whom?"

"I don't dare to say anything yet, but the general..." Ning Yuan took his eyes back from King Monan: "He is dead, and there will be many changes in the future. What should the general do? This is the key! Find out who killed him, but it doesn't matter... what matters is what people believe. He's dead anyway, isn't he?"

What do you believe?The people and nobles in Monan most want to believe that the king is unbearable to be humiliated, he kills himself to protect the festival, and the people of the world should avenge him.

Of course Wang Yunyi understood this, who would be the most proud at this time?Old Plumber Lin strike!

"Leave this to you and Xue Yi, and no one else is allowed to interfere!" Wang Yunyi lowered his voice, "I'm supporting you outside, so quickly find out the truth for me!"

The two were having a secret conversation when a soldier knocked on the door and came in, kneeling on the ground: "General!"

Hearing his trembling tone, Wang Yunyi couldn't help being furious: "What's wrong??!!"

"General!" The soldiers stuttered, "The queen... that queen also killed herself."

Wang Yunyi's head buzzed.The two took a detour to look at the queen's palace. This Monan king is also strange, he hardly lives with his queen. The two are always far away from each other, and the road is long enough. blow.

"General, this is suicide!" Ning Yuan was out of breath.

"Is this true or not?" Wang Yunyi was afraid that Ning Yuan would hide his words again.

"This is true," Ning Yuan kicked the corpse: "It's not long since I left, look at the poison, the clothes, the posture... Not to mention, who would have the leisure to kill her?"

Yes, Wang Yunyi nodded.

Ning Yuan sighed: "That Monan Wang Yanfu is not shallow, with such a beautiful woman dying in love, being a man is worth it."

Wang Yunyi thought of all kinds of things about this queen, and thought to himself, that man deserves it, but he doesn't know if this woman is worth it.

Wei Chi knew it later than anyone else. When she came back from the eldest princess's mansion at noon, the important officials here were already too busy to be seen.Of course, on her way back, many people in Monan were talking about this matter beside her, but unfortunately she couldn't understand it and thought it was a bird singing.In the afternoon, no one was watching, Wei Chi even took a bath in his spare time, rubbed his ink and drew a freehand landscape, planning to find another free watch one day, and give it to the girl Xiangnaji to celebrate her birthday.

The next day, when the news from Wang Yunyi's side came, Wei Chi was quite surprised, but when the surprise was over, it was over.Du Qihuan made a special trip to look for him: "You take good care of your princess, if you have any news, report it immediately."

There is really no movement!Wei Chi scratched his head and agreed.

Du Qihuan patted Wei Chi on the shoulder: "It's to teach you to listen to the wind. Is that person dead? It doesn't matter who kills us? It's just that we are afraid of someone with a heart! Let's take advantage of it."

Wei Chi nodded quickly.

In the afternoon, although he would not go to the Princess's mansion again, Wei Chi sent people to the street to 'listen to the wind'.Du Qihuan is really powerful. In less than a day's time, the conversations of the people in Monan turned up countless new tricks - some said it was the jealousy of the women in the harem, some said it was framed by the inner prison, and some said it was a private enmity in the world , a powerful and unconstrained style, omnipotent.But everyone didn't dare to say it out of their mouths, but they knew in their hearts that there were only a few possibilities——Wang Yunyi, Mei Lin, and His Majesty killed themselves.

If in order, it would be - Lin Lin, the King's Killing, and Wang Yunyi.

Finally, Wang Yunyi could secretly breathe a sigh of relief.Mei Lin is in a state of desperation, he knows that what he does now is wrong, and it is also wrong not to do it, who exactly planned this problem for him?He really wants to know!

"Master!" Mrs. Lin Lin said lightly: "The previous promise to those two families has not come to fruition. What should we do?"

Mei Lin thought for a while and suddenly said: "Could it be those two families who did it? Wang Yunyi has no reason to do this, and the death of Monan King is not good for him! Even if he tried his best to provoke, what's the next step? Without the king Monan didn't care about it! It's not worth it for him to risk his life for a moment...he's not that confused!"

Mrs. Meilin took a sip of the tea in her hand: "Whoever does it will always know, but now there is really no way to know, at least we have to get along with those two families in terms of face, I will go to Chahan's house tomorrow, if his family If we become suspicious, we will be in danger!"

At night, it started to rain again, and the cold rain revealed a trace of uneasiness. Wei Chi couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he got up and lit the lamp to read the documents approved by Saul Hahan one by one. Ren must have known about this at the first time, how will she face it?Wei Chi suddenly felt that he couldn't figure it out. The woman who was usually like a sister suddenly blurred, strange and frightening in front of her eyes.

In the cold rain, an old man staggered down the street. Because it was not very late, there were some people on the street, and no one cared where such a down-and-out old guy was going.The old man turned around and walked into the back door of the princess mansion.The back door was locked, and the old man opened it with the key in his pocket, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

Zuo Yu was on duty in the front hall, when suddenly a little maid came to report: "An old servant who delivered flowers said, 'His Royal Highness said that the rain flower pot needs to be mended, and asked to come and get it tonight, and asked the girl to give it to you' .”

Zuo Yu said she understood, and went into the study instead, took the broken rain flower pot from the cabinet and went out.Outside the corridor in the backyard, an old man in a coir raincoat stood shyly.

Zuo Huan stepped forward and whispered, "You are?"

The old man didn't take off his cloak, but said softly in a thin voice: "I'm here to find Liang Nail."

Zuo Yu's heart skipped a few beats, she thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Sir, follow me."

Liang Naile has been hiding in the inner room all the time, imitating Sol Hahan's handwriting to deal with the documents during the day, and no one is in there at night, and Zuo 妠 takes care of it with one hand, acting as a 'stand-in'.It has been two days since Saul Hahan and his party fled. Wang Yunyi and Mei Lin were busy parrying each other and didn't bother to entangle this place. Although they will definitely not forget this place in the end, as long as it is two days later, even if the matter fails, they will send pursuers It is also difficult to catch up with Saul Hahan.

Tomorrow morning will be two days, two full days.

So far nothing has happened, Liang Naile secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the most embarrassing thing in his heart is that Wei Cejian, what he is afraid of is that he will show his feet, I always thought that he was half a 'princess', no Thinking about let alone half of it, not even a single sliver, the eldest princess handed over so much before leaving, almost all of it was used to deal with him.

Just thinking about the countermeasures for tomorrow, Liang Naile closed his eyes and rested his mind, when suddenly he heard the door knocker ring, Zuo Yu walked around the curtain and walked in: "A man said he was looking for you." Zuo Yu's face was full of doubts and uneasiness.

Liang Naile took the small piece of paper handed over by Zuo Yu, looked at it, and was very surprised: "Him?"

"Who?" Zuo Huan became alert.

"Mr. Feng, my man, quickly bring him in, don't be seen!" Liang Naile's fingers trembled nervously, what is Mr. Feng doing here at this time?What is forcing such an old man to take risks and come here?

Zuo concubine dared not make mistakes, led Mr. Feng into the inner room, locked the door after coming out, and secretly wiped the water stains on the ground.

"you?"

Mr. Feng took off his bamboo hat and motioned Liang Naile to sit down: "I got the news today, your eldest brother seems to have caught some clues, he began to suspect the eldest princess..."

This is not an accident. Anyone who understands it will find it strange that my brother has not shown up for almost two days after his death.

"Besides, he's starting to suspect you."

Liang Nail's heart skipped a beat: "How does Uncle know?"

"He secretly sent someone to look for your whereabouts. In the evening, he sent someone to the academy to look for you. It didn't happen that I knew that person, and I couldn't tell that he was here to look for you. If he was really in a hurry to find you, why did he send someone? Spy, I think he must be more than [-]% sure, and he just doesn't want to startle the snake." Mr. Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Liang Naile lowered his head and thought for a moment: "I found no flaws in myself, how could he suspect me?"

Mr. Feng sighed anxiously and couldn't care less: "What a foolish boy! Don't you think about how shrewd and cunning your elder brother is? Can you see through the slightest bit of what he has thought about in his life?"

Mr. Feng grabbed Liang Naile's hand: "You didn't tell me when the eldest princess left, and I didn't ask. But no matter how late it was, it was two days, and now she has arrived in the middle of Ikezhao. After leaving the 'Jiwu', there are only five or six roads to Bayan Tala, even if you send chasers here, it will be difficult to catch up! I came here today to let you know, don't be brave, if you retreat back!"

Liang Naile pondered for a moment, and broke free from Mr. Feng's hand: "I was in danger last time, this time I can't do it again! Three days, as long as there is one more day, the eldest princess will be able to enter the prince's fief. At this moment, I am absolutely Can't back down."

"Ah Liang!!" Mr. Feng almost burst into tears: "It will take a day to send people here to reach the 'Jiwu'. Even if you leave tomorrow morning, you will not be discovered immediately! Can't catch up, can't catch up Yes! How can there be any 'distress'?"

Liang Naile took a deep look at Mr. Feng: "Uncle, it's not easy to come here this time, isn't it? Go back quickly, don't hurt yourself..."

"Promise me! You must leave tomorrow morning!" Mr. Feng broke down in tears: "The eldest princess knows, and won't make things difficult for you! Don't try to be brave this time, trust me! Trust me!"

Liang Nalu paused for a moment and said, "Uncle, I understand, please go back quickly, I promise you!"

Mr. Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and touched Liang Naile's face: "Ah Liang, you are the only family member left in my age. Although you are not related by blood, you know...I..."

Liang Naile almost burst into tears, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, Ah Liang understands, you should go back quickly!"

Mr. Feng knew that the time was running out, and that the night hunting team was about to leave, so he hastily packed up his clothes and hat, and said goodbye with tears in his eyes.Liang Naile sat motionless in front of the couch, making difficult decisions, Zuo 妠 sent the old man away, opened the door and came in and asked him: "What's wrong?"

Liang Naile slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Zuo with a smile: "Is Miao Na in the palace planning to leave tomorrow morning?"

"Exactly." Zuo replied.This was the original plan. Miao Na planned to flee after the news of the king's death came out, because she was the easiest to find out, so she was arranged to go ahead.

"Tell Kozetom at the city gate that you don't have to wait until the third day, and go with Miao Na tomorrow morning."

"What's the matter? Who was that old man just now, and what did he say?" Zuo's heart tightened suddenly.

"And you," Liang Naile helped Fu Zuoyu's shoulders: "You go with them."

"What about you??" Zuoyu slapped Liang Naile's hand away suddenly: "What are you going to do? Who will help you deal with me when I leave? Do you want to go out to meet people in person? Kezhe Tuomu left, who is going to do it for you? You open the city gate? How are you going to escape?"

Liang Naile didn't answer, but said lightly: "Things have changed! Now the best policy is like this. As for me, I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zuo Yu was very upset: "You! How can we leave you and go first?"

Liang Naile's expression became cold: "This time the princess will let me go, and you are obedient! Are the four of us staying at the end out of self-protection? Everything is about the overall situation! Don't make things difficult for me! "

Zuo Huan lowered her head.

"You go to contact me quickly. As for tomorrow, you arrange for a female officer to come to discuss matters. They won't be suspicious if I don't show up for a day or two. And... don't worry about me, I have my own way to get out, can't I Do you believe me?" Liang Nail pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

Rainwater accumulated inside and outside the city, and many low-lying houses were lit, and the men in the house got up to shovel water.The cold and damp miasma eroded the metropolis, and the wind whirled and whistled, shaking the branches of the trees in the streets and alleys.Many people complained in their hearts, complained that the weather had become sudden, guessed how much the cattle, sheep and horses would be injured, and estimated how far away the cruel winter was.

Wei Chi slept lightly all night, and was awakened by the wind early in the morning. After breakfast, he went back to the house and put on a coat. When he went out again, he heard the officer say, "General Wang is finally back." After thinking about it, I decided to go over and take a look before going out.

Wang Yunyi was tired and hungry, drinking a glass of mare's milk.Yin Jianqiu, who was beside him, came in to report that some officials were waiting to see him at the door.

That's right, Wang Yunyi sighed, he has been so busy these days that he has not been in the house, and his routine has been slack.He closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, and said, "Who are there?"

Yin Jianqiu reported their names one by one.

Wang Yunyi thought for a while: "Call Jin Qiu, Wei Chi, and He Haoran come in."

The three of them had different official positions, and after they came in, they reported all the executive affairs first, and waited for Wang Yunyi to issue orders.

This time Wang Yunyi didn't scold anyone, he pointed at each of them and said, "Jin Qiu, besides what you have in hand, go and take over the defense of the city defense chief Bo, and keep an eye on the refugees outside the city for me. Chi, besides the princess mansion, you should also go to the Chahan mansion, don't say anything else, give yourself enough face, and see how their family behaves. He Haoran, keep an eye on Shi Shifeng's family."

The three of them took their orders, and Wang Yunyi added another sentence: "At this time, it is better to believe what is there, not to believe what is not, and must report any clues, and there must be no mistakes."

When Wei Chi arrived at the princess mansion, it was noon. Thinking of Wang Yunyi's words, he felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavy.After entering the inner hall, a female official came to approach him. Wei Chi handed over the paperwork, took the tea and sat in the study as before waiting for an answer.Saul Hahan didn't procrastinate in doing things, and the general affairs were approved at that time, and Wei Chi was used to waiting like this.While drinking tea, Wei Chi couldn't help but speculate about her attitude. The incident happened quite suddenly this time, and he didn't know what was going on in her mind.After all, he was his own elder brother, and it was not just a matter of grief for ordinary people.As for who killed King Monan, Wei Chi really didn't know, and couldn't help worrying that Saul Hahan thought the king was murdered by the Qi army.

If this is the case, it will be a blood feud... Wei Chi sighed sadly.After the female officer left, he couldn't sit still anymore and paced back and forth in the study.Since two days ago, Saul Hahan hadn't met him, but she didn't seem to go out, and she still waited for him to come every day, and returned the document to her immediately after approval.Wei Chi stopped in his tracks and looked at the end of the study room—behind that door was the bedroom, where she was, but he didn't want to come out to see her, was it because of his brother?Did she really think it was Qi Jun?

After Wei Chi was sad, he shook his head, poured half of the cold tea in his hand into the bowl, turned around and walked around the outside of the study, and went to the stove in the inner room to get hot water for mixing.I took the water and was about to mix it, when I suddenly felt something strange, walked to the Babao Pavilion and stopped in front of the broken enamel bottle—did I remember it wrong?When it was placed last time, the exposed side of the copper tire was facing right!Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Chi put the pot and cups down, held the bottle down with both hands, and after a careful look, he felt that something was wrong.In the end, the broken glaze pieces in the compartment were taken down one by one, and put together one by one.

After struggling, Wei Chi stopped - one piece was missing...why?Did you miss a piece at that time?Wouldn't it be such a big piece?how……?

"Master Wei?" The female officer came out very quickly today, seeing Wei Chi squatting on the ground, not knowing what to do.

Embarrassed for a moment, Wei Chi clapped his hands and stood up: "Sorry, I knocked it down again."

The female officer didn't dare to blame Wei Chi, she was just unhappy, she cleaned up the pots and cups on the ground for Wei Chi, and handed the documents in Wei Chi's hand.Wei Chi smiled sheepishly, turned around and walked to the door, finally stopped, and said to the female officer, "Please tell Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and ask her to express her condolences, and don't hurt her body."
