Luo Wenge was slightly startled, and said in a talkative tone, "Who does General Xu want to see?"
Xu Yingping seemed to be embarrassed, and struggled for a long time, Qiqi Aiai said: "The old man wants to meet my unworthy and unfilial son Xu Yan."
This was within Luo Wenge's expectation, the only ones who could make Xu Yingping find him were Xu Jinyuan and Xu Yan.
Xu Jinyuan was perfectly protected by Xu Yingping himself, and he couldn't touch it even if he wanted to, leaving only Xu Yan.
No one in the court knew that he was the presiding judge of the three divisions. Although Xu Yan was not imprisoned in Dali Temple, he had to nod if he wanted to see anyone.
It is understandable that Xu Yingping wanted to see Xu Yan find him.
But this person is not easy to see, this time it is Luo Wenge's turn to look embarrassed, and his tone is full of embarrassment: "I'm afraid it won't work."
"The old man understands Luo Shaoqing's difficulties, so I just don't give up on visiting and asking." Xu Yingping said.
Luo Wenge raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I would like to thank General Xu for your understanding, this is Xu Yan, a repeat offender required by Shenxianwan, and there must be no mistakes."
"The old man knows." Xu Yingping replied, with a slightly disappointed expression, "The old man has heard news from the palace that the queen is not in good health, so I thought of meeting Xu Yan first and then the queen, so that the queen can feel relieved. In the past, the queen Before leaving the pavilion, I liked talking to Xu Yan the most. Xu Yan has no skills at all, he just loves to eat, drink and have fun everywhere. Rest assured for the Queen, I just want to meet Xu Yan."
Luo Wenge was keenly aware that when Xu Yingping mentioned the queen, his eyes never left him, as if implying something.
He pretended not to know, and followed the words: "Then I'm afraid I will disappoint General Xu. You will never see Xu Yan. I think the empress can understand it. The case is the most important."
Xu Yingping wanted to laugh or not: "Luo Shaoqing really puts the country first, I wonder if this sincerity will be known to His Majesty?"
Using Xiao Yulan to suppress him, Xu Yingping might have misunderstood something.
Luo Wenge's expression didn't fluctuate: "Your Majesty does things for His Majesty, and I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."
The smile on Xu Yingping's face disappeared, and she fixed her gaze on him: "The old man thought that Luo Shaoqing was a smart person, and there was no need to explain some things too clearly. The old man just wanted to see Xu Yan, and let him live until the case was over."
Having said that, Xu Yingping didn't even bother to use an official accent, and was frighteningly straightforward.
Luo Wenge suddenly showed a mocking smile: "Is General Xu threatening me?"
"The old man is discussing. Who can live without a secret? As far as the old man sees, Luo Shaoqing hides a lot more secrets than I do. Tell me, right?" Xu Yingping said.
This kind of aggressive offensive really makes people disliked.
Luo Wenge frowned slightly: "General Xu, I still say the same thing, it's impossible to see Xu Yan."
Xu Yingping's face was not good-looking, and his tone was unavoidably prosperous: "This old man is giving you a chance. You must know that what you have done is exposed. Don't say that His Majesty can't protect you, maybe he will be the first to kill you in a sudden. Luo Wenge, I would like to advise you on the basis of the shallow friendship between Zeng and your father. People in the royal family are born to be cold-blooded and ruthless. The best lesson learned!"
After saying this, Xu Yingping walked away in a huff, looking at his back full of hatred for iron and steel, he didn't know whether his emotions were true or not.
Luo Wenge sat still for a long time, this was the first time he heard the grievances of his previous life from others.
In the original book, there are very few introductions about the events of Luo Yao's time. Most of them are mentioned in a few words when the villain is about to use them. Up to now, Luo Wenge doesn't know what happened to Luo Yao at that time, so he passed away inexplicably. A lot of connections were made for the villains.
Listening to the meaning of Xu Yingping's words today, could it be that Luo Yao's death is related to the royal family?
In the eyes of the world, Luo Yao obviously died of illness after helping Xiao Yulan secure the throne, so there is another mystery hidden in it?
He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't guess it, his brain was aching, he didn't think about these irrelevant things for now, he got up and walked out, and then went to Taohuawan to have a look.
Wenrou Lane, Peach Blossom Bay.
Today's Taohuawan is very different from before. The building is deserted and there is no one to see. The outside of the building is guarded by heavy soldiers, and the servants and girls inside can only be forced to hide in the room and dare not come in and out easily.
Luo Wenge went up the stairs to the third floor, looked around: "Where's the bustard?"
"It should be in the room." Luo An replied.
Jiang Lin, who parked the carriage over there and followed, pointed to the West Wing after hearing this, "There she is."
Luo An was shocked: "How do you know?"
Jiang Lin pointed at the bustard who was found by surprise, and said innocently: "She opened the door and hid there to peek, I saw it."
These words were too sincere, making the three inside and outside the door embarrassed at the same time.
The old bustard was found and did not continue to hide. He stuck his head out from the gap in the door and said with a dry smile: "I don't know if it was an adult who came here that day. There is something to offend me. I hope that the adult will let me go regardless of the little girl's fault." .”
The memory in this line of work is really good, several days after that night, the old bustard can still recognize him.
He didn't come here to settle accounts, so his expression can be called gentle: "It's okay, I came here today because I have some doubts and I want you to help me clarify."
Sister Cui couldn't hold back when she heard the words, she simply opened the door and invited people in: "My lord, come in and ask."
Luo Wenge happily went and led Jiang Lin and Luo An in.
The women's boudoirs in Goulan Courtyard are all places of interest, even the madam's room, which is full of pink and tender fragrance.
Luo Wenge looked as usual, as if he didn't smell the pungent scent, Jiang Lin and Luo An were far less calm than him, and were so stimulated that they sneezed consecutively.
The sound of sneezing made Sister Cui's face turn red, she didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or anger: "Little girl is used to hearing it, I'm sorry you two."
Jiang Lin was like a wooden pillar, she only knew how to nod, Luo An opened her mouth and said, "Where, it's my two rough guys, let my sister laugh at me."
Luo An's words not only relieved Sister Cui's embarrassing atmosphere, but also made people feel happy.
Sure enough, Sister Cui was so coaxed that she smiled, and while twisting her body to open the window to ventilate the air, she chatted: "I can't blame you, when the boss asked me to change this incense, the little girl couldn't get used to it. The Xinjiang people's food is sweet and pungent, which makes people feel uncomfortable, but it's not good to go against the boss's wishes, so I have to endure it, and after a long time, I get used to it."
Things from northern Xinjiang people?
When Sister Cui turned around and asked them to sit down, Luo Wenge asked softly: "You just said that this incense comes from northern Xinjiang?"
"Yes." Sister Cui said disapprovingly, "Many things in our building came from northern Xinjiang."
"What else?" Luo Wenge asked.
Sister Cui poured a cup of hot tea for the three of them, thinking: "The condiments used in the kitchen, the wine, the spices, etc. are all brought by the boss from Beijiang."
"When did this start?" Luo Wenge glanced at the tea that Luo An brought over, raised his hand and pushed it over.
Sister Cui drank tea by herself: "It's been like this since I came to Peach Blossom Bay, almost three years ago."
Luo Wenge remembered that Taohuawan was opened for four years, and spent three years in northern Xinjiang, which shows that Destiny Pavilion has long colluded with Northern Xinjiang.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Sister Cui felt a little uneasy: "Your Excellency, don't you believe me?"
"No." Luo Wenge smiled and comforted her, with a more gentle tone, "I was wondering if you told me so many useful things today, if you could help me with something."
Sister Cui didn't expect him to think about this, she was moved and said, "Your Excellency is so kind, if the little girl is ten years younger, she will definitely cling to you."
Luo Wenge lowered his head and smiled slightly: "That's really my honor."
"I know that adults don't believe what I say. If I were an adult, I would be suspicious if I was suddenly told the secret with all my heart and soul." Sister Cui said, looking at Luo Wenge with her eyes, saying that she was old. The difference, Qiubo sent me unequivocally, "I have said everything, let me just make it clear. I was born in Chun'an, my parents died when I was young, and no one in my family could support me, so I had to be sent to the most famous Goulan courtyard in the area. I struggled in it until I was 16 years old, and sold myself for a million taels of silver for my debut. Four years later, I redeemed myself and came to Changle City. I wanted to find a place to open a small shop and spend half my life quietly. He insisted that I come to Taohuawan to help him train girls."
Luo Wenge remembered that this was not mentioned in the news from the Linjiang Tower, which simply and clearly stated that Sister Cui was hired back by Xu Yan with a lot of money.
When it came to the person involved, it turned out that Xu Yan was following her again. Judging from the meaning of the voice, she might have no choice but to come to Taohuawan.
Luo Wenge didn't rashly interrupt Sister Cui's narration, but only silently gave encouragement with her eyes.
Someone listened to someone and someone encouraged them, which gave Sister Cui the courage to continue talking. Her expression gradually changed from calm to ferocious, and her tone also became hateful: "I desperately don't want to do it. I finally got out of the quagmire. How could I think about it again?" Going back? But Xu Yan threatened me, saying that if I don’t agree, I’ll just wait to become a military prostitute, his adoptive father Xu Yingping has a high position and power, so it’s not a problem to just put someone in the military camp, let me think clearly.”
"Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the government. I know that I am weak. Even if I go to Jing Zhaoyin to sue their father and son with reason, it may not end well. I had to allow him to enter Taohuawan to save my life. From then on Since then, I have never wanted them to die, even cutting them into pieces is not an exaggeration."
"Before they die, I have to ensure that I am alive, so I swallow my anger and win trust. Gradually, they no longer avoid me when they do many secret things, and sometimes let me go. I think, one day, someone will I was able to sanction them, fortunately I waited until that day. When Taohuawan was seized, I vaguely sensed the taste of revenge, so I kept waiting, and finally waited for my lord."
After hearing the cause and effect, Luo Wenge's expression changed slightly: "Then do you know who sent the Shenxian Pill?"
"I don't know. You won't see anyone when you take the things. They will tell you where to go and wait. When the appointed time comes, the things will naturally appear in front of you, like a mechanism." Sister Cui said.
Luo Wenge frowned quickly, and asked again: "Where is the place to get things?"
"A few times in Chenjia Village, a few times in Chenjia Winery, and a few times in mass graves on the outskirts of the city, basically these three places." Sister Cui put down the teacup and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, "Over there in Chenjiacun There should be no one caught."
Luo Wenge raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"
"Before my lord made an unannounced visit, Xu Yan received an order saying that the place had been exposed and was taken over by His Majesty today, so there is no need to go there again." Sister Cui looked at Luo Wenge with a smile, seeing that he was calm, she was a little disappointed.
"Is the Shenxian Pill that I took away that day the latest one?"
"Yes, Beijiang thinks that Xu Yan's actions are slow, and the goods are only shipped once in ten days and a half months. Xu Yan said that the previous Shenxian Pills did not work well, and asked them to find ways to improve them, so they sent a new batch. Good luck. That’s right, I got the best one right away, but the slim girl who gave you the medicine died.”
"Didn't she die after taking the Shenxian Pill?" Luo Wenge stared at Sister Cui and asked. He had read the autopsy documents of Yaotiao, and it stated that the cause of death was the poison that sealed the throat with blood. It is still two different things, and Yaotiao was indeed poisoned to death.
Sister Cui's expression was unnatural, she was not as calm as before in this matter, and she covered it up: "Xu Yan said that she had an attack from the Shenxian Pill, and she died from taking too much poison. how he died."
She is lying.
This was Luo Wenge's first reaction, and when he looked closely at her uncomfortable appearance, Luo Wenge thought about it, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, her case has been closed anyway, I'm just asking, don't worry about it. "
Sister Cui nodded again and again: "Whatever your lord says, so be it."
Luo Wenge looked at Sister Cui's room, and saw that it was still different from the slim room he had been to before. He saw the tassels falling to the bottom of the veil, and he could not see the scene behind the screen because it was blocked. He looked away: "Do you want to leave here?"
Sister Cui's face was filled with surprise, impatiently: "Is it possible?"
Luo Wenge nodded: "If you really want to leave, I can arrange someone to escort you to wherever you want to go, and give you some money, then you can do whatever you want."
This is undoubtedly a good thing, and anyone would be so happy from ear to ear.
But Sister Cui has spent most of her life in the land of wind, flowers, snow and moon. She never believed that there would be pies in the sky. She was cautious: "Does your lord have any conditions?"
"Of course there is." Luo Wenge knew that people like Sister Cui had extremely high psychological defenses, and would be suspected of being courteous for no reason, so he thought of an excuse, and said, "I want you to cooperate with me in acting."
Sister Cui was suspicious, and her tone was a little uneasy: "What play?"
Luo Wenge pursed his lips and revealed a smile, mysterious and charming.
That afternoon, Luo Wenge was inspecting at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was analyzing the route of Shenxianwan entering the court with Qu Jing in a low voice. In front of Luo Wenge, he yelled loudly: "My lord, the bustard in Taohuawan has escaped!"
Luo Wenge's expression changed drastically, and he raised his voice: "What?!"
"She escaped through the window while no one was paying attention, and ran all the way out of Wenrou Lane, heading for the residence of the Great General Zhenbei." Luo An said again.
Luo Wenge was surprised, as if he hadn't expected it at all: "What is she going to Zhenbei General's Mansion for?"
"I don't know, the Imperial Forest Army is chasing after him." Luo An suddenly looked wrong again, and said anxiously, "I heard that General Xu sent someone to inform Jing Zhaoyin that if someone falls into Jing Zhaoyin's hands , it seems difficult to come back.”
Who here doesn't know that Jing Zhaoyin is the Shen party. Shen Jue has publicly impeached Xu Yingping in the court these days, and his criticism has become more and more severe. Originally, the evidence in his hand is not much sufficient. Hammer it on the ground?
After being told by Luo An, Luo Wenge also became anxious, and said: "That's not allowed, this is a person who is wanted by the Sanfa Department, and cannot be given to Jing Zhaoyin."
Luo An followed suit: "Yes, young master, think of a way."
A few dazed-looking people over there were brought into rhythm, and they hadn't heard the ins and outs of the matter clearly, so they spoke first.
"Then Luo Shaoqing, think of a way quickly, so that no one can be taken away."
"Everyone knows the virtues of Jing Zhaoyin. If you don't ask for some credit for arresting someone, you will definitely not let him go. If this person falls into his hands, it will not be easy to dig out."
"Yes, yes, Luo Shaoqing should quickly take someone to snatch him back."
Between you and me, Luo Wenge inadvertently gave Xie Wenxuan a look, put down the paperwork, turned around and walked out, aggressively: "Luo An, call Jiang Lin, and follow me to snatch people!"
Luo An's momentum was high, as if someone was backing him: "Yes, I'll call him right away."
After Luo Wenge swept away like the wind, discussions in the room resounded like a stormy sea.
"The bustard who escaped from Taohuawan is a very important witness. I saw her confession yesterday, and I don't understand why she wanted to run away."
"You are stupid, even if she cooperates with the witness, she might be killed before the case is closed, and now she runs away to find General Xu, presumably she wants to beg the other party to protect her?"
"No, she must testify to bring down General Xu. Why did she go to find him? From my point of view, she went to General Xu to make a deal and let the other party send her away, so she won't testify."
"What you said also makes sense. If you look at it this way, Luo Shaoqing's chances of snatching someone may not be high. He voluntarily went to find General Xu."
"That doesn't necessarily mean that General Xu is keeping him. Don't forget that Jing Zhaoyin is still there. He is a real mangy dog."
"You're right."
The discussion gradually subsided, and Qu Jing, who was sitting alone over there, flashed a pensive look in his eyes, and there was a hint of movement.
Seemingly indifferent Xie Wenxuan noticed this, turned his face and touched Murong Yu's arm.
Murong Yu looked at him coldly, and asked silently, "What are you doing?"
Xie Wenxuan's eyes drifted to Qu Jing, suggesting that the meaning was in place, Murong Yu's cold face disappeared, and he gradually became interested.
On the other side, Jing Zhaoyin Cao Cheng, who was scolded as a mangy dog, looked at Xu Yingping who drove him out and let him pick up a ready-made charming woman for nothing, and frowned: "Aren't you the old bustard in Taohuawan? Why don't you stay in Taohuawan?" Come on, what are you doing running here in broad daylight?"
Sister Cui had just experienced a wave of defeat, and she was in a bad mood, and even looking at Cao Cheng didn't like her eyes: "I'll go wherever I think, can I tell you?"
"Yo, you have a temper." Cao Cheng raised his eyebrows and lost his temper, "I have the right to control you if you disturb the law and order in the city. Seeing you like this, you escaped from Taohuawan, right?"
I can't blame Cao Cheng for saying that, Sister Cui really doesn't look like she is going out seriously, her makeup is messy, and the corners of her skirt are torn in several places, as if she came here after trekking through mountains and rivers.
Sister Cui tugged at her skirt, very angry: "What do you do with me, my wife likes to go out like this, what can you do to me?"
Cao Cheng had never seen such an unreasonable woman, and he couldn't help it for a while: "If you continue to behave like this, don't blame me for being unreasonable, and I will arrest you and put you in prison."
This was done on purpose by Cao Cheng. That day, he led the three divisions to interrogate Taohuawan. He went to seek credit from Shen Jue and was scolded.
At that time, he was really upset and wanted to scold Shen Jue, but finally remembered that the other party had a higher rank than him, so he could only swallow his anger.
After being scolded, he decided not to help Shen Jue with anything in the future, and in a fit of anger decided to turn his head around and forget about it.
Shen Jue sent someone to say that he wanted to snatch an important criminal, so he came over.
The person who came to deliver the letter clearly said that this person was hard to grab, and Cao Cheng was also ready to fight against the Quartet. Who knew that if he picked up a ready-made one, Xu Yingping would not take it in, and Luo Wenge hadn't come yet. Cao Cheng felt like a god alive, powerful endless.
He can't be too forceful, if he wants to bring Sister Cui back, he might be criticized by others, so he tries to make Sister Cui take the initiative to bump into the cell.
It was rare for Cao Cheng to be thoughtful for a while, completely unaware that this move was in the hands of Sister Cui.
Sister Cui sneered: "Catch me, if you have the ability, you can catch me. No one in the city knows that Jingzhao Yin Cao Cheng is a mangy dog, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Don't you know who is standing behind my old lady? Look at your obedient appearance, let me borrow it from you!" Even if you have ten guts, you dare not catch my old lady."
Cao Cheng has never seen such a rampant and ignorant woman, his forehead became hot, and he shouted: "Arrest her! Lawless hey, I don't care who is behind you. If you dare to act wild in Changle City, you must know how powerful I am. You have to know that this is the official site! When you enter the prison, you will regret it!"
Saying so, the soldiers brought by Cao Cheng grabbed Sister Cui and escorted her all the way to Jingzhao Mansion.
The mighty group of people caused the onlookers to talk about it.
Before tomorrow morning, the rumors of Jing Zhao Yin and Cao Cheng being yelled at by a woman pointing at her nose in the street will spread all over the streets.
Luo Wenge counted the timing, and when he arrived at the residence of the Great General in Zhenbei, there was nothing left. The spies sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate saw him and hurried up to report: "My lord, Jing Zhaoyin took him away."
"It's still a step too late." Luo Wenge looked annoyed, and asked again, "No one came out to stop it?"
The spy shook his head and said in a low voice: "I see that she was taken away on purpose. Mr. Cao doesn't want to argue with her too much. It's her nonsense that provokes people's anger. It's hard to appease the anger in my heart if I don't arrest her."
Of course Luo Wenge knew that Sister Cui was arrested on purpose, all of this was planned by him alone, and being arrested was the beginning of the plan.
He pretended to be helpless: "The man has fallen into the hands of Jing Zhaoyin, and it will take some effort to come back. How about this, you go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate first, and I will go to the palace to face the saint, and I beg His Majesty to give me an oral order."
Those who came with him knew how important Sister Cui was, so they didn't delay immediately, and did as he said.
If Luo Wenge wanted to enter the palace at this time, he would inevitably run into Shen Jue who was still stranded in the palace, no problem, this was exactly what he wanted.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Yulan and Shen Jue were sorting out the list of officials from various ministries. Wen Tianzhong entered Beijing and will take up his post in the near future. By then, the staff from the Ministry of Rites will fill up, and the Dali Temple will arrive one after another, which will not hinder the normal work.
Tomorrow night is the most important day of the year, all important officials have to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year with the emperor.
Xiao Yulan is looking forward to the big changes in the faces shown at the banquet this year.
Shen Jue sorted it out pretty much, and said with a bit of unease: "His Majesty has used Luo Shaoqing a lot recently. From what I've seen, Luo Shaoqing should be at the front of tomorrow's banquet."
Xiao Yulan glanced lightly, with a half-smile: "What does Mr. Shen Ge mean by saying that? Can't I use Luo Shaoqing again?"
"That's not true." Shen Jue said, "Luo Shaoqing has a bad reputation. If His Majesty uses him frequently, he may..."
Xiao Yulan picked up the memorial: "He's fine."
Shen Jue's words were blocked, at this moment, Li Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple Shaoqing Luo Wenge is asking to see you."
Xu Yingping seemed to be embarrassed, and struggled for a long time, Qiqi Aiai said: "The old man wants to meet my unworthy and unfilial son Xu Yan."
This was within Luo Wenge's expectation, the only ones who could make Xu Yingping find him were Xu Jinyuan and Xu Yan.
Xu Jinyuan was perfectly protected by Xu Yingping himself, and he couldn't touch it even if he wanted to, leaving only Xu Yan.
No one in the court knew that he was the presiding judge of the three divisions. Although Xu Yan was not imprisoned in Dali Temple, he had to nod if he wanted to see anyone.
It is understandable that Xu Yingping wanted to see Xu Yan find him.
But this person is not easy to see, this time it is Luo Wenge's turn to look embarrassed, and his tone is full of embarrassment: "I'm afraid it won't work."
"The old man understands Luo Shaoqing's difficulties, so I just don't give up on visiting and asking." Xu Yingping said.
Luo Wenge raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I would like to thank General Xu for your understanding, this is Xu Yan, a repeat offender required by Shenxianwan, and there must be no mistakes."
"The old man knows." Xu Yingping replied, with a slightly disappointed expression, "The old man has heard news from the palace that the queen is not in good health, so I thought of meeting Xu Yan first and then the queen, so that the queen can feel relieved.

Luo Wenge, I would like to advise you on the basis of the shallow friendship between Zeng and your father. People in the royal family are born to be cold-blooded and ruthless. The best lesson learned!"
After saying this, Xu Yingping walked away in a huff, looking at his back full of hatred for iron and steel, he didn't know whether his emotions were true or not.
Luo Wenge sat still for a long time, this was the first time he heard the grievances of his previous life from others.

Wenrou Lane, Peach Blossom Bay.
Today's Taohuawan is very different from before. The building is deserted and there is no one to see. The outside of the building is guarded by heavy soldiers, and the servants and girls inside can only be forced to hide in the room and dare not come in and out easily.
Luo Wenge went up the stairs to the third floor, looked around: "Where's the bustard?"
"It should be in the room." Luo An replied.
Jiang Lin, who parked the carriage over there and followed, pointed to the West Wing after hearing this, "There she is."
Luo An was shocked: "How do you know?"
Jiang Lin pointed at the bustard who was found by surprise, and said innocently: "She opened the door and hid there to peek, I saw it."
These words were too sincere, making the three inside and outside the door embarrassed at the same time.
The old bustard was found and did not continue to hide. He stuck his head out from the gap in the door and said with a dry smile: "I don't know if it was an adult who came here that day. There is something to offend me. I hope that the adult will let me go regardless of the little girl's fault." .”
The memory in this line of work is really good, several days after that night, the old bustard can still recognize him.
He didn't come here to settle accounts, so his expression can be called gentle: "It's okay, I came here today because I have some doubts and I want you to help me clarify."
Sister Cui couldn't hold back when she heard the words, she simply opened the door and invited people in: "My lord, come in and ask."
Luo Wenge happily went and led Jiang Lin and Luo An in.
The women's boudoirs in Goulan Courtyard are all places of interest, even the madam's room, which is full of pink and tender fragrance.
Luo Wenge looked as usual, as if he didn't smell the pungent scent, Jiang Lin and Luo An were far less calm than him, and were so stimulated that they sneezed consecutively.

Things from northern Xinjiang people?
When Sister Cui turned around and asked them to sit down, Luo Wenge asked softly: "You just said that this incense comes from northern Xinjiang?"
"Yes." Sister Cui said disapprovingly, "Many things in our building came from northern Xinjiang."
"What else?" Luo Wenge asked.
Sister Cui poured a cup of hot tea for the three of them, thinking: "The condiments used in the kitchen, the wine, the spices, etc. are all brought by the boss from Beijiang."
"When did this start?" Luo Wenge glanced at the tea that Luo An brought over, raised his hand and pushed it over.
Sister Cui drank tea by herself: "It's been like this since I came to Peach Blossom Bay, almost three years ago."
Luo Wenge remembered that Taohuawan was opened for four years, and spent three years in northern Xinjiang, which shows that Destiny Pavilion has long colluded with Northern Xinjiang.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Sister Cui felt a little uneasy: "Your Excellency, don't you believe me?"
"No." Luo Wenge smiled and comforted her, with a more gentle tone, "I was wondering if you told me so many useful things today, if you could help me with something."
Sister Cui didn't expect him to think about this, she was moved and said, "Your Excellency is so kind, if the little girl is ten years younger, she will definitely cling to you."
Luo Wenge lowered his head and smiled slightly: "That's really my honor."
"I know that adults don't believe what I say. If I were an adult, I would be suspicious if I was suddenly told the secret with all my heart and soul." Sister Cui said, looking at Luo Wenge with her eyes, saying that she was old. The difference, Qiubo sent me unequivocally, "I have said everything, let me just make it clear. I was born in Chun'an, my parents died when I was young, and no one in my family could support me, so I had to be sent to the most famous Goulan courtyard in the area. I struggled in it until I was 16 years old, and sold myself for a million taels of silver for my debut. Four years later, I redeemed myself and came to Changle City. I wanted to find a place to open a small shop and spend half my life quietly. He insisted that I come to Taohuawan to help him train girls."
Luo Wenge remembered that this was not mentioned in the news from the Linjiang Tower, which simply and clearly stated that Sister Cui was hired back by Xu Yan with a lot of money.
When it came to the person involved, it turned out that Xu Yan was following her again. Judging from the meaning of the voice, she might have no choice but to come to Taohuawan.
Luo Wenge didn't rashly interrupt Sister Cui's narration, but only silently gave encouragement with her eyes.
Someone listened to someone and someone encouraged them, which gave Sister Cui the courage to continue talking. Her expression gradually changed from calm to ferocious, and her tone also became hateful: "I desperately don't want to do it. I finally got out of the quagmire. How could I think about it again?" Going back? But Xu Yan threatened me, saying that if I don’t agree, I’ll just wait to become a military prostitute, his adoptive father Xu Yingping has a high position and power, so it’s not a problem to just put someone in the military camp, let me think clearly.”
"Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the government. I know that I am weak. Even if I go to Jing Zhaoyin to sue their father and son with reason, it may not end well. I had to allow him to enter Taohuawan to save my life. From then on Since then, I have never wanted them to die, even cutting them into pieces is not an exaggeration."
"Before they die, I have to ensure that I am alive, so I swallow my anger and win trust. Gradually, they no longer avoid me when they do many secret things, and sometimes let me go. I think, one day, someone will I was able to sanction them, fortunately I waited until that day. When Taohuawan was seized, I vaguely sensed the taste of revenge, so I kept waiting, and finally waited for my lord."
After hearing the cause and effect, Luo Wenge's expression changed slightly: "Then do you know who sent the Shenxian Pill?"
"I don't know. You won't see anyone when you take the things. They will tell you where to go and wait. When the appointed time comes, the things will naturally appear in front of you, like a mechanism." Sister Cui said.
Luo Wenge frowned quickly, and asked again: "Where is the place to get things?"
"A few times in Chenjia Village, a few times in Chenjia Winery, and a few times in mass graves on the outskirts of the city, basically these three places." Sister Cui put down the teacup and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, "Over there in Chenjiacun There should be no one caught."
Luo Wenge raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that?"
"Before my lord made an unannounced visit, Xu Yan received an order saying that the place had been exposed and was taken over by His Majesty today, so there is no need to go there again." Sister Cui looked at Luo Wenge with a smile, seeing that he was calm, she was a little disappointed.
"Is the Shenxian Pill that I took away that day the latest one?"
"Yes, Beijiang thinks that Xu Yan's actions are slow, and the goods are only shipped once in ten days and a half months. Xu Yan said that the previous Shenxian Pills did not work well, and asked them to find ways to improve them, so they sent a new batch. Good luck. That’s right, I got the best one right away, but the slim girl who gave you the medicine died.”
"Didn't she die after taking the Shenxian Pill?" Luo Wenge stared at Sister Cui and asked. He had read the autopsy documents of Yaotiao, and it stated that the cause of death was the poison that sealed the throat with blood. It is still two different things, and Yaotiao was indeed poisoned to death.
Sister Cui's expression was unnatural, she was not as calm as before in this matter, and she covered it up: "Xu Yan said that she had an attack from the Shenxian Pill, and she died from taking too much poison. how he died."
She is lying.
This was Luo Wenge's first reaction, and when he looked closely at her uncomfortable appearance, Luo Wenge thought about it, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, her case has been closed anyway, I'm just asking, don't worry about it. "
Sister Cui nodded again and again: "Whatever your lord says, so be it."
Luo Wenge looked at Sister Cui's room, and saw that it was still different from the slim room he had been to before. He saw the tassels falling to the bottom of the veil, and he could not see the scene behind the screen because it was blocked. He looked away: "Do you want to leave here?"
Sister Cui's face was filled with surprise, impatiently: "Is it possible?"
Luo Wenge nodded: "If you really want to leave, I can arrange someone to escort you to wherever you want to go, and give you some money, then you can do whatever you want."
This is undoubtedly a good thing, and anyone would be so happy from ear to ear.
But Sister Cui has spent most of her life in the land of wind, flowers, snow and moon. She never believed that there would be pies in the sky. She was cautious: "Does your lord have any conditions?"
"Of course there is." Luo Wenge knew that people like Sister Cui had extremely high psychological defenses, and would be suspected of being courteous for no reason, so he thought of an excuse, and said, "I want you to cooperate with me in acting."
Sister Cui was suspicious, and her tone was a little uneasy: "What play?"
Luo Wenge pursed his lips and revealed a smile, mysterious and charming.
That afternoon, Luo Wenge was inspecting at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was analyzing the route of Shenxianwan entering the court with Qu Jing in a low voice. In front of Luo Wenge, he yelled loudly: "My lord, the bustard in Taohuawan has escaped!"
Luo Wenge's expression changed drastically, and he raised his voice: "What?!"
"She escaped through the window while no one was paying attention, and ran all the way out of Wenrou Lane, heading for the residence of the Great General Zhenbei." Luo An said again.
Luo Wenge was surprised, as if he hadn't expected it at all: "What is she going to Zhenbei General's Mansion for?"
"I don't know, the Imperial Forest Army is chasing after him." Luo An suddenly looked wrong again, and said anxiously, "I heard that General Xu sent someone to inform Jing Zhaoyin that if someone falls into Jing Zhaoyin's hands , it seems difficult to come back.”
Who here doesn't know that Jing Zhaoyin is the Shen party. Shen Jue has publicly impeached Xu Yingping in the court these days, and his criticism has become more and more severe. Originally, the evidence in his hand is not much sufficient. Hammer it on the ground?
After being told by Luo An, Luo Wenge also became anxious, and said: "That's not allowed, this is a person who is wanted by the Sanfa Department, and cannot be given to Jing Zhaoyin."
Luo An followed suit: "Yes, young master, think of a way."
A few dazed-looking people over there were brought into rhythm, and they hadn't heard the ins and outs of the matter clearly, so they spoke first.
"Then Luo Shaoqing, think of a way quickly, so that no one can be taken away."
"Everyone knows the virtues of Jing Zhaoyin. If you don't ask for some credit for arresting someone, you will definitely not let him go. If this person falls into his hands, it will not be easy to dig out."
"Yes, yes, Luo Shaoqing should quickly take someone to snatch him back."
Between you and me, Luo Wenge inadvertently gave Xie Wenxuan a look, put down the paperwork, turned around and walked out, aggressively: "Luo An, call Jiang Lin, and follow me to snatch people!"
Luo An's momentum was high, as if someone was backing him: "Yes, I'll call him right away."
After Luo Wenge swept away like the wind, discussions in the room resounded like a stormy sea.
"The bustard who escaped from Taohuawan is a very important witness. I saw her confession yesterday, and I don't understand why she wanted to run away."
"You are stupid, even if she cooperates with the witness, she might be killed before the case is closed, and now she runs away to find General Xu, presumably she wants to beg the other party to protect her?"
"No, she must testify to bring down General Xu. Why did she go to find him? From my point of view, she went to General Xu to make a deal and let the other party send her away, so she won't testify."
"What you said also makes sense. If you look at it this way, Luo Shaoqing's chances of snatching someone may not be high. He voluntarily went to find General Xu."
"That doesn't necessarily mean that General Xu is keeping him. Don't forget that Jing Zhaoyin is still there. He is a real mangy dog."
"You're right."
The discussion gradually subsided, and Qu Jing, who was sitting alone over there, flashed a pensive look in his eyes, and there was a hint of movement.
Seemingly indifferent Xie Wenxuan noticed this, turned his face and touched Murong Yu's arm.
Murong Yu looked at him coldly, and asked silently, "What are you doing?"
Xie Wenxuan's eyes drifted to Qu Jing, suggesting that the meaning was in place, Murong Yu's cold face disappeared, and he gradually became interested.
On the other side, Jing Zhaoyin Cao Cheng, who was scolded as a mangy dog, looked at Xu Yingping who drove him out and let him pick up a ready-made charming woman for nothing, and frowned: "Aren't you the old bustard in Taohuawan? Why don't you stay in Taohuawan?" Come on, what are you doing running here in broad daylight?"
Sister Cui had just experienced a wave of defeat, and she was in a bad mood, and even looking at Cao Cheng didn't like her eyes: "I'll go wherever I think, can I tell you?"
"Yo, you have a temper." Cao Cheng raised his eyebrows and lost his temper, "I have the right to control you if you disturb the law and order in the city. Seeing you like this, you escaped from Taohuawan, right?"
I can't blame Cao Cheng for saying that, Sister Cui really doesn't look like she is going out seriously, her makeup is messy, and the corners of her skirt are torn in several places, as if she came here after trekking through mountains and rivers.
Sister Cui tugged at her skirt, very angry: "What do you do with me, my wife likes to go out like this, what can you do to me?"
Cao Cheng had never seen such an unreasonable woman, and he couldn't help it for a while: "If you continue to behave like this, don't blame me for being unreasonable, and I will arrest you and put you in prison."
This was done on purpose by Cao Cheng. That day, he led the three divisions to interrogate Taohuawan. He went to seek credit from Shen Jue and was scolded.
At that time, he was really upset and wanted to scold Shen Jue, but finally remembered that the other party had a higher rank than him, so he could only swallow his anger.
After being scolded, he decided not to help Shen Jue with anything in the future, and in a fit of anger decided to turn his head around and forget about it.
Shen Jue sent someone to say that he wanted to snatch an important criminal, so he came over.
The person who came to deliver the letter clearly said that this person was hard to grab, and Cao Cheng was also ready to fight against the Quartet. Who knew that if he picked up a ready-made one, Xu Yingping would not take it in, and Luo Wenge hadn't come yet. Cao Cheng felt like a god alive, powerful endless.
He can't be too forceful, if he wants to bring Sister Cui back, he might be criticized by others, so he tries to make Sister Cui take the initiative to bump into the cell.
It was rare for Cao Cheng to be thoughtful for a while, completely unaware that this move was in the hands of Sister Cui.
Sister Cui sneered: "Catch me, if you have the ability, you can catch me. No one in the city knows that Jingzhao Yin Cao Cheng is a mangy dog, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Don't you know who is standing behind my old lady? Look at your obedient appearance, let me borrow it from you!" Even if you have ten guts, you dare not catch my old lady."
Cao Cheng has never seen such a rampant and ignorant woman, his forehead became hot, and he shouted: "Arrest her! Lawless hey, I don't care who is behind you. If you dare to act wild in Changle City, you must know how powerful I am. You have to know that this is the official site! When you enter the prison, you will regret it!"
Saying so, the soldiers brought by Cao Cheng grabbed Sister Cui and escorted her all the way to Jingzhao Mansion.
The mighty group of people caused the onlookers to talk about it.
Before tomorrow morning, the rumors of Jing Zhao Yin and Cao Cheng being yelled at by a woman pointing at her nose in the street will spread all over the streets.
Luo Wenge counted the timing, and when he arrived at the residence of the Great General in Zhenbei, there was nothing left. The spies sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate saw him and hurried up to report: "My lord, Jing Zhaoyin took him away."
"It's still a step too late." Luo Wenge looked annoyed, and asked again, "No one came out to stop it?"
The spy shook his head and said in a low voice: "I see that she was taken away on purpose. Mr. Cao doesn't want to argue with her too much. It's her nonsense that provokes people's anger. It's hard to appease the anger in my heart if I don't arrest her."
Of course Luo Wenge knew that Sister Cui was arrested on purpose, all of this was planned by him alone, and being arrested was the beginning of the plan.
He pretended to be helpless: "The man has fallen into the hands of Jing Zhaoyin, and it will take some effort to come back. How about this, you go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate first, and I will go to the palace to face the saint, and I beg His Majesty to give me an oral order."
Those who came with him knew how important Sister Cui was, so they didn't delay immediately, and did as he said.
If Luo Wenge wanted to enter the palace at this time, he would inevitably run into Shen Jue who was still stranded in the palace, no problem, this was exactly what he wanted.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Yulan and Shen Jue were sorting out the list of officials from various ministries. Wen Tianzhong entered Beijing and will take up his post in the near future. By then, the staff from the Ministry of Rites will fill up, and the Dali Temple will arrive one after another, which will not hinder the normal work.
Tomorrow night is the most important day of the year, all important officials have to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year with the emperor.
Xiao Yulan is looking forward to the big changes in the faces shown at the banquet this year.
Shen Jue sorted it out pretty much, and said with a bit of unease: "His Majesty has used Luo Shaoqing a lot recently. From what I've seen, Luo Shaoqing should be at the front of tomorrow's banquet."
Xiao Yulan glanced lightly, with a half-smile: "What does Mr. Shen Ge mean by saying that? Can't I use Luo Shaoqing again?"
"That's not true." Shen Jue said, "Luo Shaoqing has a bad reputation. If His Majesty uses him frequently, he may..."
Xiao Yulan picked up the memorial: "He's fine."
Shen Jue's words were blocked, at this moment, Li Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple Shaoqing Luo Wenge is asking to see you."
