high official

Chapter 697 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
"Zhang Yi is not a fake businessman," Shi Wan said, "At that time, in order to avoid being persecuted by Jinyiwei, everyone rushed to join Jinyiwei. Many officials became spies of Jinyiwei, let alone a businessman. But Zhang Yi went to approach Miss Dong, she was ordered by Shangfeng."

"Someone wants to mess with Mr. Gu?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"What is Mr. Gu? It's Gu Cheng who wants to do it." Shi Wan said: "At that time, Xie Jin fell, and His Royal Highness was counterattacked by the King of Han. Gu Cheng and the prince formed a friendship in Beiping. They never mixed with Han Wang and his gang, so they were naturally regarded as a party of princes. They wanted to abolish Gu Cheng by messing with Gu Zaixing."

"In this way, they really succeeded." Wang Xian squinted his eyes slightly, but his eyes seemed to glance over Shi Wan inadvertently.

"Yes. Because of his grandson, Gu Cheng can't be the governor of the left army, and the capital can't stay anymore, so he was sent to Guizhou again by the emperor." Shi Wan said: "But the emperor doesn't know why, He also handed over the Zuojun Governor's Mansion to Gu Yong, the son of Gu Cheng. At that time, Gu Cheng was captured and sent to Beiping by the emperor. Gu Yong was with his father. Unlike his father's passivity, Gu Yong was active At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was still the son of the crown prince, approached him and helped him make suggestions, train troops and reorganize the army, and the friendship with the crown prince is much deeper than that of his father."

"I have an impression of this. I heard that after Gu Cheng's death, Gu Yong was supposed to be the heir to the throne, but because of what the King of Han and King Zhao said in front of the emperor, the title actually surpassed Gu Yong and fell on Gu Xingzu's head." Wang Xiandao.

"That's right." Shi Wan nodded and said: "Because of his father's death, Gu Xingzu has always resented his grandfather, and his relationship with his second uncle is not good. He has no friendship with the prince. The King of Han helped him become a Marquis, He also helped him become the governor, he is naturally grateful, and the Gu family naturally became the supporters of the King of Han."

"It's really easy to calculate." Wang Xian couldn't help nodding and said: "You know such details, you can't tell me that you robbed Gu Zaixing, right?"

"This..." Shi Wan said embarrassingly, "My lord is really amazing."

"It's not very powerful, how can you hold down your group of monsters?" Wang Xian smiled indifferently and unfathomably, "Tell me, how did you get Mr. Gu?"

"It's like this..." When Shi Wan was about to explain to Wang Xian, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't reported to his lord that Mr. Gu was still alive, and he couldn't help asking in surprise, "How does your lord know that Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu are still alive?" ?”

"Of course I have a way to know." Wang Xian refused to answer directly, his tone was full of confidence that everything was under control, and he said noncommittal to their bold actions: "You just need to answer my question."

"Yes." Seeing that his bluffing made adults unhappy, Shi Wan hurriedly explained the situation clearly: "Actually, we didn't notice Mr. Gu's line at the beginning, but when we interrogated the personnel who were involved in handling the case at that time, we heard They said that the reason why they chose to attack Ms. Dong at that time was to attack the Gu family. On the other hand, some people coveted the beauty of Ms. Dong's family. It is said that Ms. Dong was so beautiful in Qinhuai River at that time, and the price for grooming her reached 10 Two silver coins..."

"You're off topic again." Wang Xian frowned and said, "So Miss Dong is probably not dead?"

"Xiao Deng also said the same thing. He said that a man would not bear to hurt a beauty like Miss Dong. At that time, the female corpse was beyond recognition. It is likely that the other party, Li Daitao, froze and hid the golden house." Shi Wan hurriedly said .

"Who covets Miss Dong's family? Isn't it Zhang Yi?" Wang Xian said in a deep voice.

"No, Zhang Yi is just a errand. But this kind of thing is very important, so those people don't know who is planning on Miss Dong." Shi Wan hurriedly said: "But this kind of thing is not difficult to find out, as long as Just look up the previous files and see who Zhang Yi belongs to. After investigation, we found that Zhang Yi's boss is Zhuang Jing..."

"Zhuang Jing?" Wang Xian was also taken aback and said, "Master Zhuang is a dignified man, but he is also full of male thieves and female prostitutes."

"That's easy to understand, like attracts like." Shi Wan smiled and said, "Can there be good people around people like Ji Gang?"

Wang Xian looked at the King of Thieves beside him, and the King of Tartars who would capture Emperor Ming in the future, and rolled his eyes.

"My lord, I didn't mean you..." Shi Wanqing knew that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly changed her words.

"Okay, let's get down to business, the monks are about to finish their classes."

Wang Xian frowned slightly, and Shi Wan hurriedly continued: "Fortunately, Zhuang Jing is also on the list of our key surveillance, sir, we are not boasting, we even know exactly what color shit his surname Zhuang pulled this morning ..."

"Then what color did he pull this morning?" He also asked first.

"He pulled it this morning...uh..." Shi Wan said helplessly: "That's how I compare." After saying that, he had to change his words: "At least he has several nests, and how many people are in the nests. We are one It's clear. The subordinate got Miss Dong's old portrait, searched it secretly, and found that in a manor outside his city, there was a woman who looked exactly like Miss Dong, but she was much older... "

"Nonsense, it's been nine years." Ye Xian whispered.

"The subordinate said that he didn't care about her. Taking advantage of Zhuang Jing's absence, he simply stole the little lady out." Shi Wan said with a humble tone but a very proud expression.

"Scared, stealing?" Ye Xian asked with wide eyes.

"Of course, in the eyes of my Holy Hand disciples, everything can be stolen." Shi Wan looked at it with a smile and said first: "How about it, boy, I see that you have strange bones and long hands and feet. Do you want to join our Holy Hand sect? Give me three moves and two moves, and I guarantee that you will be popular and drink spicy food for the rest of your life..."

"My master promises." Yexian said with a smile.

"Your master is..." Shi Wan asked.

"Me." Wang Xian said with a dark face: "Okay, the foot of the wall is on my head!"

"Don't dare, I'm just joking." Wang Xian pulled his face, it was more effective than anything else, Shi Wan hurriedly returned to the topic and said: "Steal that little lady out, and Xiao Deng began to interrogate her. She was willing to admit her identity, but Xiao Deng said that she could help her meet Mr. Gu, and she immediately collapsed and admitted that she was Miss Dong's family."

"Isn't Mr. Gu sentenced to be executed?" Ye Xian asked in a low voice.

"We're staring at... Second Young Master Zhang." Shi Wan looked at Wang Xian's face and saw that he didn't respond, so he dared to continue: "I found that Second Young Master Zhang sent his servants out to watch everywhere, most of them were watching those court officials. The only member of the middle school, there is only one way, who is actually stationed in Gujiazhuang, [-] miles south of the city. Is there anyone worth watching there? Later, it was found out from the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice that Mr. Gu died of colic. It is guessed that Mr. Gu is just pretending to die, and his real body is hidden in this Gu Family Manor."

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"The subordinate sneaked into Gu's Village at night. That Zhuangzi was really not simple. It even set up a gossip ecstasy formation. The day before when I went in, I almost fainted my subordinates, but I still let my subordinates find the residence of Mr. Gu. Gu The Eldest Young Master looks very much like the Marquis of Zhenyuan, I recognized him at a glance, I can't be wrong..." Shi Wan said: "Almost the next day, there was news about Miss Dong over there, and the subordinates ran non-stop again Go and steal Miss Dong out."

"Well, you have contributed a lot." Wang Xian then smiled and said: "After the work is done, there will be many rewards!"

"Thank you in advance, my lord." Shi Wan said with a smile on his face: "The rest of the matter will be simple. The subordinates will visit the Gu family village again and see Mr. Gu. He found that I was about to sound a warning, so I gave Miss Dong a As soon as my fan pendant lit up, he obediently obediently immediately, and left the village with me." He said with a smile: "The scene of the fateful couple, Young Master Gu and Miss Dong, really made me, an old thief, unable to bear it. I had tears streaming down my face, it was so touching."

"It's really good luck." Wang Xian was also shocked by the tragic love of this pair of men and women, and said after a while: "However, what's the situation over there now?"

"When I found out that my brother was lost, Zhenyuanhou was so anxious that he decided that Gu Zaixing had been kidnapped." Shi Wan said with a smile: "Although we can steal Miss Gu, who is like a weak willow, we really don't have the ability to beat her three times." The heavy Young Master Gu stole from the heavily guarded Gujiazhuang. Marquis Zhenyuan would never have guessed that his elder brother came out by himself, haha..."

As Shi Wan was talking, he realized that his face was no longer his face, and his nose was no longer his nose. Knowing that he had strayed from the topic again, he hurriedly coughed and said, "Later, Second Young Master Zhang went away, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan strongly recommended our Beizhen Fusi to come here. Looking for someone, Zhenyuanhou is also in a daze, and he promised to give us a day." Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "How do you know that the person is in our hands, let alone a day, we can send him back in an hour. "

"Well." Wang Xian nodded, approvingly said: "This time you have indeed made a great contribution, and you have brought the message back to Wu Wei and the others. They all know the general principle. You can do it as you see, so I don't have to worry about it." .”

"Yes, my lord." Shi Wan likes Wang Xian's point of view. He doubts whether to use someone or hire someone. Once a person is selected, he will let his subordinates do it without any interference.

"Go." Wang Xian waved his hand, Shi Wan bowed and saluted, then quietly withdrew and disappeared into the night.

"Master." When Shi Wan left, he also asked in a low voice: "You already knew that Mr. Gu was not dead?"

"I don't know, it's not a fairy?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said.

"Then how dare you insist on it..." I was also confused.

"Isn't this obvious?" Wang Xian said indifferently: "If you don't have Mr. Gu in your hands, what's the use of Shi Wan talking so much? Does he really think that I'm not an adult if I shave my head?"

"It turns out that the master lied to him." Yexian said suddenly.

"How can this be called fraud?" Wang Xian disagreed, "This is wisdom."

"Okay, Wisdom..." He stuck out his tongue first and said, "Master, you delegate power so much, don't you worry that they will mess around?"

"Worried." Wang Xian smiled, but did not speak forcefully.

"Then you still..." He also asked puzzledly.

"We have to weigh the pros and cons in everything," Wang Xian said indifferently: "At this juncture, if I am not in charge of the Yamen, they will not be able to do anything if they don't delegate power. They must do bad things. If power is delegated, they may do bad things, but they may also do good things." You did very well." He closed his eyes slightly and said, "Facts have proved that others may not be worse than you, and may even do better than you..."
