Sir, I can do it!

"Master Changsun is busy with his affairs, so it's impolite for me to interrupt rashly." Wei Zhao smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for Changsun Ke.

"Even if Mr. Wei doesn't come, I still have to go to the Hou Mansion."

Changsun Ke took a sip of the tea. Although it was old tea, after a busy night, the fragrance of the tea entered his spleen, and he still felt refreshed.

"Oh? So Mr. Changsun has some clues here?"

"Mei Yuchi was arrested and brought to justice last night at the home of Zhang Bing, Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, East Yulin Lane."

Wei Zhao was startled and said, "Zhang Bing?! On that day, Master Changsun said that Mei Yuchi was the work of Nanliang. Could it be that Zhang Bing is also..."

"No, the Meiyuan case is far more complicated than imagined. This case not only involves two parties, Southern Liang and Northern Yan...at least there are four forces."

"Sifang!" Wei Zhao raised his voice.

Chang Sun Ke narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhang Bing is dead."

"Dead! When?"

"Last night when I captured Mei Yuchou, he died of poisoning when he came back. Mei Yuchou confessed that the assassination of Wan Yanhong was instigated by Zhang Bing and carried out by himself, and that both of them were working for Nanliang. The son can be freed from the crime."

Wei Zhao didn't feel too happy, but felt that he was getting deeper and deeper, and the delicious food on the table became dull.Thinking of what Changsun Ke said just now, he suddenly understood.

"According to my previous assumption, at least three conditions must be met for this case to happen, that is to say, the murderer must appear among the people in Meiyuan on that day, and the timing must be precisely grasped. If Zhang Bing and Mei Yuchi Both belong to the Nanliang side, so there are already two forces in Wanyanhong's private room. One is Nanliang, and the other is Beiyan. And these two forces will have to die."

"Once Wan Yanhong dies, Beiyan can take the opportunity to claim the six prefectures of Shuobei, or take the opportunity to provoke a war in Shuobei. If Daqi and Beiyan fight, Nanliang can take the opportunity to send troops to contain Daqi's main force. The so-called long-distance and short-term attack, from this point of view, it is not impossible for Nanliang and Beiyan to jointly set up this situation."

Changsun Ke said: "Mei Yuchi is good at using the cold silk blade. He is a first-class assassin in the world and has never missed a shot. When the crime happened, Mei Yuchi was still on the stage, and the stage was directly opposite the Yajian. He must have taken the opportunity to ambush there. Assassinated. However, no scars from Hansiren were found on Wanyanhong's body."

"Mei Yuchi is lying." Wei Zhao tapped his slender fingers on the table in a disorganized manner, and then suddenly stopped: "I understand what Master Changsun means. Behind the Meiyuan case is the interests of the four countries, and it will cost the four countries a lot. What they are planning must be the six prefectures in Shuobei, or even bigger!"

"That's right. However, judging from the current situation, there seems to be a disagreement between the several forces. I guess, there must have been an unexpected situation at the time of the incident, which prevented Mei Yuchi from taking action. It was also because of this unexpected The situation broke the cooperation of several forces."

"Unexpected situation..." Wei Zhao was startled suddenly.

"Master Changsun, have you ever thought that I was wronged? They want Wan Yanhong to be stabbed to death in full view. If that person is me, although the emperor can take the opportunity to attack the Wei family and provoke the relationship between the Wei family and the emperor. The relationship between the two parties will cause the two parties to fight each other. But in fact, this is not beneficial to the case, at least not in a short period of time.”

"But what if that person is Ah Liang?"

Wei Zhao seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and continued: "Han Chongliang is Han Qing's only son, if he kills Wan Yanhong... Han Qing guards the six prefectures in Shuobei, the emperor naturally has to keep Han Chongliang in order to stabilize Han Qing. But Yan will never let it go. As a result, border conflicts will intensify, and the flames of war will break out at any moment."

"Ah Liang has always liked precious swords and weapons, but one of his servants recently offered a cold moon blade. Ah Liang is also a person who can't hide things, so he will definitely show them to everyone when he gets a treasured sword. Feng Yu pre-booked an invitation in the Meiyuan Yajian The Beiyan people took the opportunity to learn the time and also appeared in Meiyuan that day."

"Qin Yusheng is also part of their design. They took the opportunity to insult each other. A Liang and I have always had a close relationship and will definitely vent their anger on me. Once there is a conflict between the two sides, there is a chance to act. The only one who miscalculated is me. "

"I'm not interested in weapons. I just saw that the precious sword is very good. On a whim, I wanted to ask Ah Liang to give it to my second brother for self-defense. When I rushed out of the private room, Zhang Bing said that he had fallen. I thought, Their target was originally Han Chongliang, but Zhang Bing's fall caught the guards off guard and pushed Wan Yanhong out early, so they chose the wrong target instead."

Changsun Ke pondered for a moment, and said: "Whether it's you or Han Chongliang, their result has been achieved. Wanyanhong is dead, and died in Shengjing City. You are both in the other party's calculations. But at least we can be sure of one thing , Wan Yanhong did die in the elegant room."

"Since Mei Yuchi did not act, there is no need to flee in a hurry after the incident. He can continue to hide in Meiyuan. Unless he can know in advance that I have captured Nanliang Xizuo, and the spy will confess his actions that day."

"But that Xizuo was arrested at dawn the day before the Meiyuan incident, and Mei Yuchi did not contact Xizuo that day, let alone know that Xizuo had been arrested. That is to say, Mei Yuchi fled in a hurry, and must have met again after the incident. Who's here?"

"As Zhang Bing is a direct witness, Nan Fu will definitely set up an ambush in Zhang's house. Mei Yuchi knew that there was an ambush in Zhang's house, but still sneaked into Zhang's house to assassinate Zhang Bing's concubine. There are two reasons. First, the woman is the key person in this case." .Secondly, Mei Yuchi has something in her hands. Regardless of one or two, as long as she dies, all clues will be cut off."

Wei Zhao continued: "But Mei Yuchi admits that he is the master of Nanliang, and also admits that he killed Wan Yanhong, so that Nanliang and Beiyan will form a relationship, and on the contrary, they will pick Qi Guo out... He did this What is the purpose? Unless he is not from the Nanliang side at all."

"Also, what role did Wanyan Hong's three guards play in this case? Yin Shijun has been in Beiyan for many years and is quite powerful. This time he will be fully prepared for his envoy to Daqi, and he will never let his only nephew easily Die. The poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, although Wanyan Zhe is a person without a bottom line, but right now he still needs Yin Shijun, so he will not ask Wanyan Hong to die."

"On the contrary, the battle among the princes of Beiyan is becoming more and more fierce. If someone takes this opportunity to design Wanyan Hong, first to eliminate an opponent, and second, to give Beiyan the opportunity to send troops to crusade, Wanyanzhe will naturally be happy. If so, the three guards It must have been bought. Something unusual must have happened in the private room. In addition, it is not known whether Dong Yu's death is related to the Meiyuan case."

Wei Zhao scratched his head irritably: "My God, this is too complicated."

Changsun Ke didn't think so.

"The fine-grained networks of various countries are inherently intricate, with gaps and gaps. What we have to do is to peel cocoons from the huge messy clues, find things that are beneficial to us, and find the truth from illusions."

Wei Zhao said, "But sometimes the truth behind the illusion may not be the truth, it may also be another trap."

"So the road to find the truth is often paved with blood. No matter how many illusions are covered up, the truth will come one day."

Wei Zhao lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his head suddenly: "My lord, I want the truth."

"can."

It was such a happy promise again.

Wei Zhao looked at Changsun Ke left and right with his chin in his hand, and said, "Actually, Master Changsun also wants to find out the truth of the case. Zhang Bing committed suicide in fear of crime, so he left Beiyan with a plum jade as evidence. Beiyan would not compromise so easily. "

"Also, the Nanfu Prison is like a ghost hell. After Zhang Bing was imprisoned, his whole body must be searched, but he was poisoned to death. Someone must have poisoned him. So Master Changsun's hands are not clean."

Changsun Ke raised his eyebrows: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish."

"My lord grandson wants to fish in troubled waters?"

"Young Master Wei, take a good rest. I'll take you to a place after dark."

"where to?"

"You'll know then."

"Ok."

Wei Zhao was gearing up, excited.Wanted to take a nap but couldn't fall asleep.After finally staying through the night, Wei Zhao ate indiscriminately, and couldn't wait to find Changsun Ke.

As for Huo Bao'er, the voice of persuasion is dry, but she still can't persuade, lest there will be any accidents when her young master goes out late at night.

"Okay, Bao'er, you just wait in Nanfu, and I will come back as soon as I go."

"Master, this is too dangerous, Bao'er must not leave the young master's side for half a step..."

"You, I am really in danger, I have my grandson to protect me, so there is nothing to worry about."

"But……"

"No but." Zhan Yi suddenly appeared behind Huo Bo'er like a ghost, and with a single finger, Huo Bo'er fainted immediately.

"It's just a sleeping point, Mr. Wei, don't worry, the next official will take good care of him."

Changsun Ke glanced at Zhan Yi.

Serving by Changsun Ke's side all year round, Zhan Yi has been very accurate about the emotions of his adults.This glance seemed calm, but Zhan Yi knew that his family was very happy.

Sure enough, there is something to curry favor with Young Master Wei!

"Let's go."

Changsun Ke handed Wei Zhao a black cloak, and lit a lantern.The flickering candlelight casts a dark red halo in the dark alley.

After coming out of Nanfu, I rented a carriage from the chariot and horse shop in the inner city. The carriage drove around the inner city, passed the Sajin Gate, and entered Xishui Street in the outer city.

The two got out of the carriage, walked east along Xishui Street, and stopped at a simple residential house.

Changsun Ke lifted the door knocker and knocked rhythmically a few times, and the courtyard door was soon opened.The person who opened the door was a young man who seemed to be well-dressed.

"Boss!"

Hearing this title at first, Wei Zhao almost fell down.He asked in a low voice, "Is he calling you?"

Chang Sun Ke gave a soft 'hmm'.

When the two entered the courtyard, the young Lifu looked left and right, confirmed that there was no tail, and hurriedly closed the courtyard door.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the house, and bowed respectfully to Elder Sun Ke with his hands crossed: "Boss!"

Wei Zhao changed his mind, and said in a low voice, "Is this a member of the gang?"

"Meng San, the master of Yan Xing Hall."

"Yanxingtang?" Wei Zhao had heard Han Chongliang talk about Jianghu affairs, and had heard a little about Jianghu sects, but he had never had contact with them.Now that I meet it, I feel very fresh.

"Meng San has met Young Master Wei San."

Wei Zhao was even more surprised: "You know me?"

Meng San smiled and said: "The sphere of influence of Yan Xingtang is the east area of ​​Shengjing City. Mr. Wei San often hangs around Baihui Street, so I naturally recognize it."

"So that's it. It's just what does Yanxingtang do?"

Changsun Ke said: "In general, there are four major gangs in Shengjing City, which are in charge of the four cities in the east, west, north, and south. There are also more than a dozen small gangs in the four cities, which are divided into different markets. The people in the gangs are from all walks of life, and they do quite a lot. It is complicated and has an inseparable connection with the government. Yanxingtang is an intelligence organization, and the brothers in the gang are scattered everywhere as eyeliners, and every move in Shengjing City cannot escape their eyes."

"This is similar to Nanfu. So you plan to hand over the Meiyuan case to the Yanxingtang people to investigate?"

"Why not. Meng San, has there been any change in Shengjing City recently?"

"Boss, our people recently discovered members of the Canglang Killer Group in the city."

"What is the Wolf Killer Group?"

Changsun Ke said: "The Canglang Killer Group is a killer organization that operates in the northwest all year round, and is Beiyan's force."

"Beiyan? Could it be that he came after Wan Yanhong?"

Meng Sandao: "The killer sent by Canglang this time is Xuedao Futu. Our people secretly followed him and watched his actions. It doesn't look like assassination, but like protecting someone."

"Keep watching. In Meiyuan, Dong Yu's house in Xiahe Village, the Inner City Guard Han Lufeng's family, and Beiyan's envoy's post, keep a close eye on them. If there is anything wrong, report it immediately."

"Little man understands!"

After leaving the house for a long time, Wei Zhao still felt a little dazed.There are many things that I don't understand in my heart, but I don't know where to ask them.

"The Wild Goose Hall was established by the eldest grandson?"

"No."

"Then why do they respect the eldest grandson?"

"The largest gang in the east of the city was originally the Tianyingtang, which was loyal to a certain official in the court. Later, the Tianyingtang was wiped out."

"What does this have to do with Yan Xing Tang..." Wei Zhao exclaimed, "You destroyed Sky Eagle Hall?"

"Ah."

"Although you didn't build the Yanxingtang, if you didn't wipe out the Tianyingtang, the Yanxingtang would not be where it is today, so they will recognize you as the boss."

"Because they are weak." The dim light of the wind lamp reflected Chang Sun Ke's cold eyes, and he said: "In this world, only the strong can make rules, while the weak can only be slaughtered."

Wei Zhao was half a step behind, and Chang Sun Ke's tall and straight back looked empty and empty under the dim light. Although he was only half a step away, the man seemed thousands of feet away from him.The deep voice was cold, as if it came from the abyss.

"Master Changsun is an official of the imperial court and in charge of the Nanfu, but he secretly cultivates the forces of the world. Are you not afraid that I will inform you when you bring me here today? Or, in the eyes of Master Changsun, this son is a weak person who is at the mercy of others and is not worth it at all. carry."

Changsun Ke paused, turned his head slightly, and said calmly: "Not really."

"Then why? You first gave me the Qinglong Order, then allowed me to investigate the case of Meiyuan, and now you took me to the door of Yanxingtang... Except for the blood of the closest relatives, no one in this world will give anything to others for no reason. Unless the eldest grandson has other plans for me?"

"So what?"

Wei Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed twice: "That's really a coincidence, I don't have any plans for my eldest grandson."

"Wait and see."

"it is good!"
