Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

After Xiao Zimo brought Wu Bai to the garden, he looked around, but he didn't find Hu Tiancheng's person, so he found his sister's personal maid, and found that she was already staying with her sister.

So he walked towards the eldest princess, first greeted the eldest princess, and then said: "Sister, can I ask you a little girl, chai, for a few words?"

The eldest princess has several maidservants around her, and there is no shortage of people to serve her. She only glanced at Chai'er, as if she was a little curious about why her younger brother would have something to ask this maidservant, and then nodded: "Yes, you can ask!"

Chai'er was also a little surprised, she didn't remember what kind of intersection she had with the second prince, why did the other party ask her.

Seeing that the eldest princess agreed, Xiao Zimo turned his head to look at Chai'er, and asked, "Just now I saw you came with a son from the backyard, do you know his name?"

It turned out to be this, and there was nothing I could not say about that. Chai'er breathed a sigh of relief, and replied honestly: "Returning to the second prince, the son's surname was He just now. He lost his way and walked to the backyard. I brought it to him." road."

"The surname is He? Are you sure the surname is He?" Xiao Zimo stared at Chai'er and confirmed again.

Seeing his solemn expression, Chai Er was worried that something was wrong, tried to think about it, and then reaffirmed: "That's right, he said his surname is He."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Zimo waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

When the maid returned to the princess, Wu Bai said, "Why, do you still suspect it's the other party?"

"Well, I shouldn't be wrong." Xiao Zimo felt that he was right. The back of the person who was walking with the maid just now was exactly the same as the one he saw on the second floor of Mingyue Tower that day. He also saw Hu Tiancheng first. The back figure lying on the door of the private room, the situation was a little urgent that day, so he was a little impressed.

Wu Bai thought about it, and said: "Then let's go to the housekeeper of your sister's house and ask him to give us a list of today's guests, and then find out the person surnamed He from it, and then follow this direction to see if there are any guests. Maybe Hu Tiancheng sneaked into the princess mansion with the other party. Since Chai'er said the other party's surname is He, I don't think this surname should be made up. It is very likely that Hu Tiancheng did not tell Chai'er his real name. , but borrowed the surname of the person who brought him to the mansion."

"Okay, then let's go now!" Xiao Zimo said impatiently, he felt that what Brother Bai said just now was like handling a case, which made him feel very novel.

"What are you in such a hurry for? There are quite a lot of people today, let's walk slowly, and be careful not to bump into someone." Wu Bai held Xiao Zimo's hand and said amusedly.

"Don't worry, I'm paying attention." Xiao Zimo nodded in agreement.

After a while, the two of them asked the servant girl all the way, and found Steward Fu, who was watching the servants registering the gifts from the guests into the warehouse one by one.

Although Steward Fu focused on watching the people entering the warehouse, he was also an exquisite person. Naturally, he had spotted Xiao Zimo walking towards him early on. Young Master Wu."

"Uncle Fu, we came to you because we need you to help us." The housekeeper Fu is the person next to Xiao Zimo's mother, and he can be regarded as an old man who watched Xiao Zimo's three siblings grow up. After entering the princess mansion, he also came to the princess mansion as a housekeeper. He has been conscientious and conscientious. Xiao Zimo also respects him, so he didn't put on airs when he spoke at the moment.

Steward Fu was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses and asked, "I don't know what the lord wants the servant to do for you?"

"Uncle Fu, can you show us my sister's banquet list for today?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"This, yes, please wait a moment, my lord." Butler Fu didn't think much about the use of this list, and immediately turned around and ordered a maid behind him to get the list.

The little lady listened to the order and acted very quickly, and came over with the list in a short while.

"Give it to the lord!" Steward Fu didn't take the list, and directly ordered the servant girl to hand over the list to Xiao Zimo.

Xiao Zimo took the list, opened it immediately and put it together with Wu Bai, and looked at it.

People with the surname He were not common, and there were only two families on the list. Wu Bai and the others quickly locked their targets on these two families.

"Uncle Fu, can you tell us about the situation of these two families? For example, who are they here today?" Wu Bai pointed to the two names on the list and asked Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu also came over and found that both of them had the surname He. He was puzzled, but he didn't ask, and answered honestly: "The above He Wenxuan is the Minister of Rites, and the only person brought by his wife today is his legitimate son He Wenliang. , The man named He Jinming below is the head of the Hanlin Academy, and his wife only brought their eldest brother to the mansion today." After all, the Princess Mansion is not a vegetable market, and it is impossible for those concubines and concubines to be brought in.

Hearing this, Xiao Zimo and the two asked Steward Fu about the personalities of He Wenliang and He Yu, thanked him, handed him the list, and left the warehouse.

After listening to Steward Fu's introduction just now, the two of them have roughly understood that He Wenliang is a dandy, while He Yu is a big brother who doesn't go out of the door. Yu knew each other. On the contrary, it is very likely that he and He Wenliang knew each other.

Now that the matter has a direction, Wu Bai and the two are no longer confused. They always ask He Wenliang to see if the other party has helped Hu Tiancheng sneak into the princess mansion, and what is the purpose of doing so.

Time passed quickly, and when the two returned to the garden again, the flower viewing feast was over, and Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo had no choice but to bid farewell to the eldest princess and leave.

At this time, Zhu Yifang had already left with her three sons. She knew that Xiao Zimo would take good care of Brother Bai, so she didn't ask someone to find Wu Bai to go home with her, so Wu Bai had to sit in Xiao Zimo's seat. carriage.

on the carriage

Wu Bai asked: "What should we do now, shall we go directly to the Minister of Rites' residence?"

"No, just send two servants to watch He Wenliang after I go back. Once we find out that he knows Hu Tiancheng, we will arrest him and interrogate him." Xiao Zimo planned.

"Okay." Wu Bai nodded.

After two days like this, Xiao Zimo suddenly came to the general's mansion to look for Wu Bai, saying that things had progressed, so He Wenliang really knew Hu Tiancheng.

"I have ordered my servants to tie up He Wenliang, let's go and interrogate him together!" Xiao Zimo suggested.

Wu Bai agreed, and followed Xiao Zimo to a remote alley in a carriage, and then walked into a yard, where two people stood, and when they saw them coming, they hurried over to salute.

"Where is he now?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"Go back to the prince, he was tied up in the house by the slaves." One of the men replied.

Then Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai walked in, and they saw that He Wenliang's eyes were blindfolded, and his hands were tied behind his back to a pillar.

He Wenliang heard someone approaching the house, and shouted at them arrogantly: "Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? Who gave you the courage to kidnap this young master? If you let him If I escape, I will definitely make your life worse than death..."

"Shut up, we know who you are and who your father is. Since we dare to do this, we must not be afraid of your father." Xiao Zimo said displeased.

The other party was so noisy that his ears hurt!

Since He Wenliang was tied up, no one paid attention to him or talked to him. At first he was afraid, but later he found out that the other party just tied him up and didn't hurt him, and suddenly his courage gradually returned. That's why he yelled and threatened when Xiao Zimo and the two came in just now.

At this moment, someone was finally willing to talk to him, and he immediately understood that the real master who arrested him had arrived, and he was not afraid of his father, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, when he listened to the other party's words. As he spoke, he dared to ask in a low voice: "Brother, although I've been a bit of a mess, I haven't harmed anyone. Did you catch someone?"

"It's not wrong, it's you, He Wenliang." Xiao Zimo affirmed.

Seeing Xiao Zimo read out his name, He Wenliang felt no luck anymore, accepted his fate, and was sure that he was the one who was caught by the other party, so he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged, lowered his head and sighed.

"We have something to ask you, do you know Hu Tiancheng? You'd better answer honestly. Once we find out that you are lying, you should know the consequences." Xiao Zimo threatened.

"I know you." He Wenliang nodded quickly.

He and Hu Tiancheng were just friends, so of course they would not hide anything for each other, so they answered honestly immediately.

"You took him to the princess mansion before?" Xiao Zimo asked again.

Hearing this, He Wen's conscience was taken aback. He didn't expect that the other party would even know this. It's a pity that his eyes are blindfolded and he can't see who the other party is. What happened." But he complained to Hu Tiancheng in his heart, he must have done something in the Princess Mansion, that's why he was involved in the disaster of being kidnapped, but he didn't know if the other party would let him go after he answered honestly Own?

Forget it, never mind, dreams are always there, what if the other party sees that he has a good attitude and lets him go?

So He Wenliang went on to say: "Hu Tiancheng gave me 3000 taels of silver and asked me to take him into the princess mansion."

Xiao Zimo said solemnly: "Then why is he going to the Princess Mansion?" He is willing to spend 3000 taels of silver, if the other party is just going in to wander around and enjoy the flowers?He can't believe it!

He Wenliang replied: "He said that he had never been to such an expensive and luxurious place, so he wanted to see it." At that time, he also laughed at the other party's ignorance, but now it seems that he was played by Hu Tiancheng Thinking of this, He Wenliang's face turned hot, and he was being played around by a businessman's son!

Then Xiao Zimo and the two asked He Wenliang a few more questions, and seeing that the other party did not know much, they stopped interrogating. After they left, He Wenliang was knocked out, and when he woke up again, he found that he was in his own house In a small alley not far from the door.

He realized in an instant that he had been let go, and his heart was filled with joy for the rest of his life, and then he was overwhelmed by anger. He walked into his house angrily, and took a few servants with him in a short while. out the door.

He is going to settle accounts with Hu Tiancheng!
