Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 104 Cloaked Woman

When Yang Guang returned home from a busy day, Xiao Menglan had already prepared meals for him.

The result of the interrogation was probably not that fast, but Xiao Menglan came to him curiously: "Your Highness, you went to supervise the Shu Guogong affair case. How is it going?"

There is a lack of entertainment information in this era, and something exciting has happened, and it is full of gimmicks and eye-catching. Naturally, everyone is very interested. As soon as the news of Yang Guang supervising the case came out, the ladies who came to visit today were not there. A few of them all came to Xiao Menglan to get inside information.

Yang Guangji took notice and pulled Xiao Menglan to sit down: "Menglan, there are so many ladies coming to you to inquire about news. You have to entertain them well and don't lose your etiquette."

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Only then did Yang Guang realize that his worries were unnecessary. Xiao Menglan was much more considerate than him in dealing with people, and she had a kind personality and could talk to anyone. Otherwise, she would not have integrated into the circle of ladies in the capital so quickly.

In fact, this is a good social opportunity. There are so many people who want to know the details of the case. If you reveal it a little, you can probably chat for a long time. However, this matter may involve some secrets, and Yang Guang cannot disclose it casually.

I can’t disclose it, but I can give false news. Who cares about whether entertainment news is true or false? The main thing is entertainment.

……

Arriving at Jingzhao Mansion early the next morning, Yu Qing asked about yesterday's interrogation. Yu Qing gave Yang Guang everyone's testimony: "Your Highness, the main ones under investigation are Liu Fang's servant boys. As for the people in the inn, and The uninformed servants in his house gave limited information and nothing useful.”

"Does any of those servant boys know the identity of the cloaked woman?"

"After questioning, three servant boys confessed in the confession that the woman would appear in Shu Guogong's mansion every once in a while, and Shu Guogong even dated her earlier than Liang Guang's wife."

"What about the rest?"

"They all said they've never seen it before."

"A living person, several people confessed that he often appears in Duke Shu's Mansion, but they said they have never seen him. Where is the steward of Duke Shu's Mansion? How did you say that?"

"He said he didn't know him either."

"Bring someone here. As the steward of Duke Shu's mansion, he doesn't know the guests coming and going in the mansion. Let's start with him."

Soon the steward of Duke Shu's mansion was brought up. He was a stooped man, probably in his 40s, but he looked older. He was trembling as soon as he entered the lobby of the mansion.

Yang Guang picked up a piece of gavel wood and slapped it. The thunderous sound frightened the steward of Duke Shu's mansion and his legs trembled.

Obviously, he had no experience of being interrogated by the current prince, and his psychological quality was average. He was panicking at this time.

"Who in the hall can tell me their name?"

"Little...little Zhang Tan, the steward of Duke Shu's Mansion, has met His Highness Prince Jin."

"How many years have you followed Duke Shu?"

"It's been eight years."

"So, Duke Shu Guo has taken you to continue to be the steward of the house even though he was promoted. He must have great trust in you. I'm right."

Zhang Tan's eyes were wandering, and he hesitated to say something: "Thank you...I have the trust of the government to allow me to work in the house."

"The things that even the maids, servants, and servants in the house know, but you, the person in charge, don't know about it?"

"Your Highness! Your Highness, I only care about the daily affairs of the house. I really don't know anything about the Duke's personal affairs."

Yang Guang doesn't believe his nonsense. For example, Wang Yi next to him is the steward of his own palace. If he doesn't tell everything about his affairs, big and small, he at least knows them. You, the steward of the Duke's Palace, He didn't even know who was close to his father-in-law, and it was a mysterious woman who others admitted had visited the house several times.

It can only be said that he is still loyal to Duke Shu and will not provide any information.

"Yu Shangshu, let's drag him down and play thirty boards before we talk."

Yang Guang didn't want to use torture, but he had to use it. Who made these people not tell the truth? Who is this mysterious cloaked woman? Liu Fang took such a big risk to protect her, she must find out. to advance the case.

"what!"

"Ah~"

There were screams outside. This was the first time Yang Guang had punished someone.

Yu Qing said beside him: "Your Highness, the confessions of these people are not worthless. There is one thing that is very strange based on the confessions of several people."

"What's the matter?"

"One of the servants said that Duke Shu was also having an affair with Duke Xi's wife."

"what?"

Yang Guang's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was there another one involved, and it was even more exciting than the previous one? Liang Guang was just a scholar and censor, and now it was revealed that he was the Duke of the State of Xi. That was the Duke of the State. , his wife was granted the title of Madam.

The plot of Mrs. Gaoming's affair is much more serious than what is being interrogated now.

Yu Qingze also looked extremely embarrassed: "Yes, that's why I didn't dare to let him appear in the confession. I took this opportunity to quietly talk to His Highness. From this point of view, Shu Guogong's case may still be involved." More."

Although Yang Guang was trying the case at this time, he couldn't help but admire Shu Guogong Liu Fang. He was so awesome. He dared to break into the dragon's den and the tiger's den. He was really capable. These women would also have an affair with him.

It is reasonable to like someone else's wife, but few dare to do it, and those who dare to do something to someone in a high position are even braver.

"Let's interrogate this first. Later, the servant boy who confessed to Duke Xi's wife will be pulled out alone for a secret interrogation. This cannot be publicized. Once the interrogation yields something, I will hand it over to my father before proceeding to the next step."

"Wei Chen understands."

Zhang Tan, who was beaten and bruised, was pulled into the hall. At this time, he could not sit still or stand up. He could only lie half down. This injury will require him to rest for a long time.

"Zhang Tan, let's move or not." "Your Highness, I really don't know what the cloaked woman is."

"Let's go out and fight the [-]th National Congress again..."

"Wait a minute... Your Highness, although I don't know the cloaked woman, I do know that a woman has a close relationship with the Duke. One time when I went out, I saw that she was wearing a cloak. Maybe she is what you call the cloaked woman."

"Oh? Who?"

"I don't know her name either. I only know that she is a certain girl from Yunya Pavilion. I don't know about those places unless I go there. I only know that the Duke is a frequent visitor to her."

Yang Guang murmured to himself: "The girl from Yunya Pavilion, Liang Guang's wife, a prostitute, and a good family. To say that Duke Shu Guo is very elegant and elegant, he is really good at playing."

Yang Guang asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything else I want to add? If you don't report what you know and you are caught by me, you will inevitably be punished."

"I really don't know. That woman came to the door on her own. There should be other ways of contact between the Duke and him. I don't know. Your Highness, Prince Jin, spare your life."

"Take him down first and put some medicine on him so that no one will die."

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness."

After being taken down, Yang Guang asked Yu Qingze: "Does Shangshu Yu know anything about Yunya Pavilion?"

"Weichen has never been there."

"Then let me take you there."

"This is the only way to handle the case."

After saying that, the two of them went out. Yang Guang mounted his horse and set off. Yu Qingze said: "Your Highness, you are going the wrong way, this way."

"it is good……"

The two of them arrived at Yunya Pavilion as quickly as possible. It was still morning and the door hadn't been opened yet. Who would come to this place in the morning?

When she heard that King Jin was coming, the Nanxi girl from Yunya Pavilion stood up and came out without makeup.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman was extremely beautiful. Without the rouge and pink, she looked more delicate. She opened the door for Yang Guang in person: "Little girl, I respectfully welcome His Highness the King of Jin, Yu Shangshu."

"Yu Shangshu, she seems to recognize you."

"Ha...haha, I know a lot of people."

Yang Guang asked Miss Nanxi to find a private room and clear out everyone. Then he sat down and said, "Miss Nanxi, do you know Duke Shu Guo Liu Fang?"

The Nanxi girl was thoughtful and immediately understood why Yang Guang went to the brothel during the day. Now the news about this matter was all over the city. The guests in Yunya Pavilion were mixed. Yesterday, this matter was spread here. When it was spread, there were already There are seven or eight versions.

There is a lot of news here, a wide range of news, but the news is also mixed.

The girl from Nanxi lowered her voice and said, "I know that Duke Shu has been here several times, and gentle men are the most popular with girls. However, when Duke Shu comes, he drinks in a serious manner, but I didn't expect that he knows people well but doesn't know their hearts. "

Thinking of the jokes made by Duke Shu, the girl from Nanxi smiled silently. It turned out that Duke Shu was just looking serious and was more frivolous than anyone else behind his back.

"Miss Nanxi, do you know which girl from Yunya Pavilion has a better relationship with Duke Shu, and how many times have you visited Duke Shu's house?"

Miss Nanxi frowned slightly: "I don't know this, but my mother must know."

"Go and call Sister Bolan yourself. Don't let others know. The fewer people who know about our coming, the better."

"The little girl understands."

Miss Nanxi walked out of the door now.

Yu Qingze waited for her to leave and then said, "Your Highness, this oiran girl seems to like you very much."

“How come you see?”

"Wei Chen is older, and he prided himself on being talented when he was young. He has met many women. This woman's eyes were filled with smiles when she saw His Highness. When His Highness spoke, she looked at him infatuatedly. There was no one else in her eyes except His Highness. Nothing else.”

"The woman in the tile roof is already good at seducing people. She is an oiran, so she should be better at it. It looks like she is real."

Yu Qing smiled and shook his head firmly: "Your Highness, you have to trust me on this matter. Charming women are only enchanting, and their delicate posture can be performed, but no matter how good the performance is, it will always be a little tacky. The girl was delighted to see her sweetheart perform. Don’t come out.”

"Then what if it can really be performed?"

"It's worth being fooled."

"Yu Shangshu has great opinions, and I admire him."

While the two were chatting, the door opened and the guard shouted: "Sorry, Your Highness, Miss Nanxi is being held hostage."

Yang Guang rushed out and saw a woman in a light green skirt holding a knife and holding the Nanxi girl hostage by the river downstairs. Directly opposite her was Nanny Bolan and others who were pleading.

I didn't expect that calling someone out would cause such a commotion.

Yang Guang immediately said to the guards around him: "Are you sure you can save the Nanxi girl?"

Li Feng, the captain of the guard, clasped his fists and said, "I can shoot arrows, but the tip of the woman's knife is against the girl Nanxi's neck. If I kill her with one blow, I can kill her. If I don't kill her, I am not sure if I want to save the girl Nanxi."

"kill!"
