Hongdi

Chapter 27

When Bei Yaofei knew that the old man was Yunshan Master Wang Shibi, he was ready to be exposed, but he didn't expect that the old man still gave him a little bit of thin air, and didn't directly reveal his identity.Slightly relieved, he bowed again and said: "The junior Bei Yaofei has seen the old man."

"No, no. Why, you can't stay in the Jianghu and plan to become an official?"

Yu Xun didn't dare to ask Bei Yaofei to follow his words, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. knows Mr. Bei?"

Wang Shibi immediately put on a smiling face, nodded and bowed his head, and said: "I have heard of it. The old minister shouldn't ask questions, Your Highness, Haihan."

"The old man is too polite. He was hired by my brother with a lot of money to help."

"Oh." Wang Shibi nodded, turned around and began to look at Bei Yaofei again, and said with a cynical smile: "Bei Yaofei, there are some things that cannot be vague, even if it is requested by your buyer, in front of big right and wrong Pointing at a deer as a horse, talking nonsense."

Bei Yaofei knew in his heart that Wang Shibi was a veteran in the Jianghu, even though he was an official in the court, he was still in charge of the Yunshan Gate, and he was also an important figure in the Jianghu.With his medical skills, the origin of these two poisons can never be concealed. Even if he insists that Hongguo also has it, Wang Shibi still has a way to prove that Hongguo doesn't have it.Moreover, going against Yunshanmen would not be good for him or Caohetang.

Bei Yaofei sighed softly, and said in his heart: "Yu Xun, it's not that I don't want to hide it for you, it's just that I met an expert. I'm afraid it will be difficult for this matter not to lead out of Yueguo."

Seeing Bei Yaofei's silence, Wang Shibi said a little displeased: "What? You still insist on your own opinion and say that those two despicable poisons belong to me Dahong?"

"The juniors dare not, but they have heard that they are sold at the border."

"I heard? Huh." Wang Shibi bowed to Yu Xun, and said, "Your Highness, don't listen to this junior's nonsense. No matter the ingredients, formula or production method of Changzui and Zixue Congeal, only the people of Yue Kingdom know. And people in the rivers and lakes of our country don't bother to use this kind of indiscriminate poison."

"The old man really understands. However, you also said that you disdain, not that you can't, and it's not that you can't, right." Yu Xun's faintly smiling eyes flashed, and he looked at Wang Shibi firmly, and then Said: "If someone with a heart uses it to blame and stir up disputes between the two countries, this matter will be difficult to handle."

Wang Shibi snorted and laughed contemptuously, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, Your Highness is too timid and afraid of getting into trouble, isn't it?" He immediately bowed to the east and said: "The sage is wise and well-managed. Prosperous," he turned to look at Yu Xun, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you're afraid of the small Nanman country?"

Yu Xun looked at Wang Shibi expressionlessly, he had long been used to the cynicism in the officialdom, and now he struggled with four words: 'Nanban Xiaoguo'...

Feng Wenda just took up the post of Governor of Youcheng Prefecture. Although he was aware of the factions in the capital fighting openly and secretly, he never expected it to be so fierce. He couldn't help shaking his head secretly: "Yu Xun is attached to King Yi, cowardly and incompetent, and has no prestige, but he is the prince of a country after all. , a little imperial doctor dares to directly say that he is timid and fearful. Hey, yes, King Jin has the power to fight, and even King Yi is inferior to him, no wonder Wang Shibi is so bold."

"Doctor Wang has seen my map of Hongyue Continent?"

Wang Shibi was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Yu Xun was asking this irrelevant question.

Yu Xun smiled lightly, and his sharp eyes shot out instantly, "The two countries of Hongyue start from Xitu Mountain in the west and end at Yaoqin Sea in the east. The North is Hongyue and the South Moon is dividing the Central Plains equally. Does Wang Yu know this?" ?”

"Of course I know. What does Your Highness mean by saying this?"

"I still don't understand? Yueguo and our country are equally divided in the territory of the Central Plains, not a small southern barbarian country! If you go to war, let's not talk about the victory or defeat, but how many soldiers of the two countries and the people on the frontier will be destroyed? Have you ever thought about it?" !"

Wang Shibi was shivered by the cold air suddenly exuded by Yu Xun, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and looked at him tremblingly, "Old man, this old man made a slip of the tongue."

Yu Xun didn't put away his murderous aura, which he seldom showed, and then said: "Does Wang Yu still think that this case was committed by the people of Yue Kingdom, and not someone else deliberately instigating the relationship between the two countries?"

"This old man is just talking about the facts. This poison is only available to Yue people. This is an indisputable fact. The rest must be determined by His Highness and Lord Feng." Wang Shibi was inexplicably startled by Yu Xun just now, and he was a little unwilling Emboldened with courage, he said again: "Believe in His Majesty's sageness, he will definitely make a wise decision."

Yu Xun knew that if he wanted to convince Wang Shibi, he must convince Han Qi.Han Qi has always been belligerent, and this time it happened to someone close to him. Once the coffin is conclusively concluded that Yue Guo did it, he will definitely ask for orders to send troops.Yu Xun rubbed his temples with some headaches, and said to Feng Wenda: "Master Feng, is there any news from the Wei Mansion?"

Feng Wenda bowed and said, "Return to Your Highness, a carrier pigeon was intercepted last night." As he spoke, he took out a small bamboo tube from the evidence at the side and handed it to Yu Xun.

Yu Xun poured out the scroll, and there were only four words on it: 'It's a failure, withdraw quickly'.He handed the note and bamboo tube to Bei Yaofei.After Bei Yaofei inspected it, he said, "Ordinary things."

Yu Xun nodded, looked at Feng Wenda, and asked, "Where's the pigeon? Didn't you kill it?"

Feng Wenda smiled, "The pigeon has been released. Doctor Wang has given medicine to the pigeon, and it will find its old nest in a short time."

"Well. Then, have you checked Sun Wan'er's life experience, relatives and friends?"

"Return to Your Highness, the officer is still in the process of interrogation and verification."

"ASAP."

"Yes."

Yu Xun got up and looked at the evidence in front of him, then at Feng Wenda, who was respectful on the outside but didn't know how to plan on the inside, and Wang Shibi, who didn't take himself seriously, and sighed softly, "Master Feng, don't let yourself be fooled." What the king asked for yesterday, please."

"Your Highness speaks seriously, and I will definitely do my best to find out the truth of the matter."

"Keep busy, I'll come back tomorrow."

Feng Wenda was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly, Yu Xun planned to go back, "Your Highness, let's go after lunch at Xiaguan's place."

"No."

"Then, the lower official sent someone to send you off?"

Yu Xun shook his head to express his thanks, and left the government office with Bei Yaofei and Jiang Tianyi.Turning left and turning right, he came to Prince Yi's Mansion, but unexpectedly, Cook Xiao was not there.After explaining a few words to the butler, Yu Xun went back to the Chu Palace and waited for news——Cai Xiao's news, Feng Wenda's news, Bei Yaofei's news, Jiang Tianyi's news...

This time, I waited for two days, and there was no letter at all.Yu Xun counted the days, today was the deadline given by the emperor, he had no choice but to leave the palace to find Feng Wenda.

Yu Xun entered the government office, and the office worker said that Feng Wenda was still in trial, and then took him to a dark room that smelled of blood.Yu Xun frowned, looked coldly at Feng Wenda who was a little flustered, and felt a wave of disgust in his heart.

"The lower official is rude. I didn't know His Highness came, and I was far away from welcoming him. I hope His Highness will forgive me."

Yu Xun squinted his eyes and gradually got used to the darkness of the room. He waved his hands and sat on the chair in the middle. Looking at the so-called spies of the Moon Kingdom opposite him who was no longer in human form, he slowly released an uncommon cold and domineering, shocking looking at all the people around.

Feng Wenda's perceptive eyes noticed Yu Xun's displeasure at the first moment, and he replied nervously: "Your Highness, I followed the clue of the carrier pigeon and successfully captured the spies of Yue Kingdom, and searched his house for A large number of secret letters have been issued, which is enough to prove the identity of this person. Moreover, this person has confessed that both he and Sun Wan'er were spies sent by the Yue Kingdom to our country."

Feng Wenda secretly saw that Yu Xun was still expressionless, looking coldly at the people on the torture rack, and his heart beat a drum.Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, he said again: "Well..., Your Highness, forgive me, the reason why I didn't report it immediately is because this person refused to admit to killing the old general. I want to wait for the case to be settled. I will report back later, and save Your Highness from worrying."

Yu Xun was still speechless. Although the person on the torture rack had lost his appearance, he still recognized him—a benevolent Yueguo tea merchant, and a well-known pigeon lover in the capital.I remember that this person gave the first three pairs of pigeons in Hongbao Pavilion, and now they have bred a large flock upstairs, grunting all day long, fat and bright, very happy, and their original owner... …

"This king is Hong Yuxun, the current crown prince. Who are you, and why did you kill my Hongguo general?"

The man tied to the shelf looked up at Yu Xun slightly, as if he was discerning something.

"Your Highness, this person's name is Yuan Haocheng. He is a tea merchant. He has lived in our country for 13 years. He has contacts with many merchants in Youcheng and has a wide range of contacts. Among the letters he found, I found many Hong's business secrets, as well as some of the secret political affairs of the DPRK and China. This person has kept his secrets, and has sent news to the Yue Kingdom many times in the past 13 years, which is a sophisticated operation."

Yu Xun listened quietly, wondering in his heart: "Could it be that people from Yueguo did it?" He approached Yuan Haocheng, looked at this old man who was over sixty years old, and couldn't imagine that under that kind and gentle face was actually The shrewd face of a spy.

"Is he the only one in his family? No family?"

"Returning to Your Highness, his family sneaked back to the Moon Kingdom a month ago, and he was the only one who stayed in You City to deal with the aftermath. The other servants, the officials have also interrogated them, are all slaves bought from the local area, and they don't know His background."

Yu Xun raised his eyebrows, remembering that the old man seemed to have come to Hongbao Pavilion to deliver tea more than a month ago, saying that he wanted Ye Luo to return to his roots and go back to Yueguo.He coughed lightly, and asked again: "There is no one suspicious? Are you sure?"

Yu Xun deliberately lengthened the ending, which made Feng Wenda's heart tremble, and quickly replied: "The officials are interrogated one by one in person, there should be no mistakes. If His Highness is worried, everyone will be in prison. arraignment."

"Take everyone to the lobby. This place is too dirty." After Yu Xun finished speaking, he turned around and planned to leave, but Yuan Haocheng rushed over like crazy.The hemp rope on the torture rack tightly tightened the old wrist, and the blood overflowed from the solidified and scabbed wound, but he continued to rush towards Yu Xun indifferently.Yu Xun stood very close, defenseless, and was bitten on the shoulder by him.

The yamen servant stepped forward to hold down the crazy Yuan Haocheng, Feng Wenda also broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted sharply: "Bold thief, how dare you attack His Highness! Are you looking for death on purpose!"

Yuan Haocheng's blood-stained eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets, and the heart-piercing roar made people's ears hurt, "Jiang Nuanzhu, you will die! I will not let you go even if I turn into a ghost! You Not a good death! Not a good death..."
