Chapter 34 The highest bidder wins(1/2)

 A piece of paper was handed behind the screen.

After a while, another beautiful maid came out with it and handed it into Ji Wen's hand.

"Ji Wen, let's take a look too."

"Yes, Prime Minister Right."

Ji Wen looked around and saw that there were maps of Daozheng and Changle drawn with a brush, and the locations of sixteen households were simply outlined.

"This is where I guessed the hiding place of the dead men in the East Palace based on Wu Kangcheng's night patrol route." Xue Bai said: "The reaction of the East Palace proves that this picture is correct."

"Right Prime Minister." Ji Wen said: "There is no need to go to such trouble. We will know after taking Wukang Cheng to the first trial."

"What if Jifa Cao can't be found out?" Xue Bai asked: "What if these dead soldiers are forced to die and the net is broken?"

"According to your wishes, do you think we can come here one by one? Do you think it's easy to mobilize the 16th Guards of Nanya?"

"I only know that Jifa Cao has been busy for a whole year, and the corpses of people who died with sticks are piling up like a mountain, but the power of the East Palace has not decreased but increased. And although I am not talented, I am almost getting the lifeblood of the East Palace."

"You!"

At this moment, Cang Bi came again to report: "Alang, Guo Qianli has arrived."

"Let him in."

After a while, the clanging sound of armor began.

"Guo Qianli, the Marquis of the Left Middle Guard of the Jinwu Guard, has seen the Prime Minister of the Right, and the Prime Minister of the Right is in good health!"

"Guo Qianli, I want to ask you. The night before last, you and Xue Bai inspected the Taoist administration. After Changle's Second Lane, did you send people to secretly watch more than ten houses according to Xue Bai's words?"

"Yes!"

Guo Qianli responded loudly and said: "Right Prime Minister, Mr. Xue Xiaolang is very careful in his work. General Xue Xiaolang doesn't see anything strange at all. Mr. Xue Xiaolang must check it again."

"Up to this point, have you seen any suspicious people leaving these ten or so houses?"

"No, the princes of Wu are all watching. Not even a fly can fly out of these houses!"

With that said, Guo Qianli cupped his hands and asked: "Right Prime Minister, will the general lead troops to search?!"

Li Linfu was slightly silent.

The prime minister passed the minister's instructions and sent out ten men, ten horses, and ten weapons to the Nanya Sixteen Guards. There is no need to wait for the sage's edict.

Previously, Li Linfu directly mobilized more than 20 right Xiaowei to go out of the city to capture Jiang Mao and Jiang Hai, but he did not expect that they could kill several Youxiao guards, which really gave him a shock.

This time, there are more than a dozen or even dozens of fierce veterans to be arrested, and hundreds of people may have to be mobilized.

Of course there are ways to do it with the power of the Right Prime Minister, but we cannot let hundreds of soldiers break into official residences in Chang'an City at will. It would be too easy for them to be accused of treason.

At least the news should be accurate.

In the end, he couldn't muster the courage to search Chang'an.

"Guo Qianli, take your people and continue to keep an eye on these two squares."

"Here."

"Ji Wen, Xue Bai, you two will investigate, use all methods, and get accurate information about the truth!"

Ji Wen quickly saluted and asked: "Right Prime Minister, can you hand over Wu Kangcheng to Ji Wen?"

"The truth has said, use all means."

"Here."

Ji Wen was overjoyed and responded quickly.

"Xue Bai."

"In."

"Get this matter done as soon as possible. The truth is waiting for you to change your story."

"We must live up to the expectations of the right Prime Minister."

Ji Wen watched with cold eyes, feeling mixed in his heart.

If Xue Bai can handle this matter well, he will rise to the top in one step and become the son-in-law of the Prime Minister. But at the same time, the Right Prime Minister did not forget Ji Wen and beat Xue Bai to cooperate with him.

This is to urge them to kill the prince.

~~

The front yard of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xin Twelve bent down, hurriedly met Ji Wen, and called: "Alang."

Faced with a burst of stench, Ji Wen grabbed Xin Twelve's collar.

"Have you found out the details of Xue Bai? Did you know that the right prime minister is planning to recruit him as his son-in-law? We have to find a way to prevent him from being reused by the right prime minister. Don't you feel that he doesn't like me?!"

"Yes, even villains don't like him." Xin Twelve replied breathlessly.

"My eldest son has an extraordinary demeanor. He proposed marriage to the right prime minister several times, but he refused to agree. Instead, he fell in love with Xue Bai? I have been in the saddle for so many years, but in the end I am worse than a little brat with unknown origins and a young boy?"

Due to the Du family's case, the two sides have already had a grudge. Ji Wen couldn't help but feel a little irritated as he could not let Xue Bai win the favor of the right prime minister in front of him and climb up the ladder.

Xin Twelve breathed carefully and said: "Alang, the villain is a little strange."

"Say."

"How can anyone really lose their memory and still behave as usual? That Zhuzi refuses to tell himself about his family, maybe he has something to hide?"

"Do you think I don't know? Why do you think the Right Prime Minister asked me to check his details?!" Ji Wen pointed to the heavy guards outside the door of the Right Prime Minister's residence and lowered his voice: "The Right Prime Minister is worried that he is an enemy. Do you know that the Right Prime Minister

How many enemies are there? I just thought about it this way, so I thought Xue Bai would definitely accept the arrangement of the East Palace. Unexpectedly, he refused."

Xin Twelve took a piece of information handed over by Ji Wen and read it, saying, "He doesn't recognize it? There is no more prominent Xue family in Chang'an who has lost his son."

"I usually hide it deliberately, but today I said I want to find my biological parents."

"Alang, I have an idea." Xin Twelve said: "If we can't find out, how about we also arrange a life experience for him? If Dong Palace can do it, what can't Alang do?"

Ji Wen's eyes flashed and he began to think. Finally, he said: "Come here."

Xin Twelve was a little reluctant, but he still put his head over.

"There is indeed a family named Xue whose family status is higher than that of a descendant of Xue Rengui. The right prime minister confiscated his house and destroyed his family... You go and make arrangements."

"Alang's brilliant plan!"

Ji Wen smiled slightly and thought to himself that there was no need to check those bullshit files anymore.

It’s more satisfying to do things your own way.

"Send the Yamen to me again to capture Wu Kangcheng. I want to interrogate him properly!"

~~

Xue Bai also left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Tian brothers immediately came forward to greet them.

"Xue Langjun, shall we go get those traitors?"

Jiao Nu snorted coldly and said: "It's good now, half of the credit has been taken away by others."

Li Linfu asked her to follow Xue Bai just for the sake of the prince's death. If the matter was successful, she would also have contributed. Now, she was obviously not happy with Ji Wen sharing the credit.

She understood that the East Palace was trying to win over Xue Bai, so the Right Prime Minister had to follow suit, which made the Right Prime Minister unhappy.

"It doesn't matter." Xue Bai said: "It would be better to let Jifa Cao find out first, and then we go to get the person with General Guo."

"Oh, you are quite generous."

Tian Shengong hurriedly explained: "Xue Langjun is right, those Longyou veterans are very tough, it would be better to find out."

Tian Shenyu curled her lips and disagreed with what her brother said.

Looking at Xue Bai's calm look, he had a premonition that he would meet those people again soon. This time, he would never let them escape again.

"Let's go." Xue Bai got on the horse and said, "Let's go to Daozhengfang and have a look."

~~

"Where did Xue Bai go today?"

In Du's house, Du You's neighbor rarely called Du Wulang for a chat, but it was Xue Bai who asked.

"Why do you care about this?" Du Wulang was called over by his two sisters and had a long conversation. He asked in a somewhat tentative tone: "Did Grandpa Bo's family send someone here again?"

"Bastard, it's not time for you to ask your father what to say."

Du Wulang shrank his neck and responded: "Yes, Xue Bai went to see the Right Prime Minister and said that if I am free at noon, I can go to Qingmen with him for lunch."

"Qingmen?"

"Yes, there is a restaurant in Qingmen that cooks really good fish and dumplings."

"Where?"

"Daozhengfang." Du Wulang said, "At the north gate of the square, facing Chunlinmen Street, there is Wangjia Restaurant, a famous restaurant in Chang'an."
