Chapter 575 Military Power and Name(1/3)
The person who came to Jingzhao Mansion with Du Wulang was Quanfu, the son of the Du family steward.
It is said that he is a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, and he is now considered prominent. However, Du Youni is cautious and restrains his servants. He does not dare to act arrogantly outside, and usually likes to chat with others and brag.
Today, Du Wulang was working in the government office, while Quan Fu was sitting in the front yard, surrounded by a group of government officials, talking about the incident when he was rescued by His Highness the Crown Prince.
"I can't tell you the specifics. Anyway, I was beaten to death by Ji Wen's people at that time. It's thanks to His Highness that he rescued me."
All the government officials were very supportive, and one person said: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Looking at Guanshi Quan's current situation, no one in Jingzhao Mansion would dare to touch Guanshi Quan."
While they were talking, Wu Cao, the legal advisor of Jingzhao Prefecture, came out and faced Quan Fu with a very kind and approachable attitude on his face.
"Manager Quan, please take a moment to talk. The assassination of General Guo is of great importance. Wu Lang is meeting with Jing Yin, and he has some instructions for you."
Quanfu also knew that this was a big deal, so he quickly said: "Facao Wu is so polite. If you have anything to do, just ask me."
The two walked to the corridor and heard Wu Min say: "Wu Lang is very worried about a person's safety and asked us to send her to the palace."
"who?"
Wu Min said: "General Guo was assassinated in the Dongshi Theater. The assassin is related to the Jiaofang, and the person we want to protect is also related to the Jiaofang."
Quanfu was still puzzled and asked, "Who is that?"
Wu Minao said: "I don't know either. Wu Lang said that you would know as soon as I told you and sent him to Shaoyang Courtyard to see His Highness. This is a token he gave me."
He took out the jade pendant Du Wulang was wearing, lowered his voice, and said: "This matter is very important to His Highness, but His Highness cannot send someone to pick it up directly. Therefore, he ordered me to ask Wu Lang."
When Quanfu saw it, he suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that Wu Facao belongs to your highness. I know it. Please come with me."
Over there, Wu Minao had arranged many confidants, and immediately followed Quan Fu, and the group headed to the southeast corner of the city.
All the way to the vicinity of Qujiang Pool, we entered Quchifang and stopped in front of a large house.
"It's right here." Quanfu finally stopped.
Wu Minao signaled to the government officials behind him with his eyes, and then said to Quan Fu: "Please come out and enter the palace now."
Quan Fu then stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, an old servant opened the door and said, "It's Quan, the manager."
"Wu Lang asked me to bring my wife to see His Highness."
"please."
When everyone entered, they saw the courtyard with sparse flowers and trees, fragrant grass on the steps, and pavilions and pavilions scattered in an orderly manner, giving it a unique charm. Walking around the corridor, one could faintly hear the sound of silk music coming from the inner courtyard.
Just by looking at the residence, you can tell that the person living here must be a beauty.
Finally, they stopped in front of a small pavilion.
"I'll ask my wife to come down."
Seeing that things went so smoothly, Wu Minao was a little surprised and felt nervous again. He stared at the door of the attic.
He is here to find Yang Yuhuan today. As long as he can be found, it will play an important role in future events.
Although there is no evidence, it is speculated from various signs that Xue Bai must have hidden Yang Yuhuan.
The wind blowing seemed to be fragrant. A beautiful woman wearing a fine gauze skirt and a ponytail slowly walked down from the pavilion. She was very beautiful, with smooth and white skin and a plump body.
"Let's go." The beautiful woman said calmly.
Wu Minu did not move. After being stunned for a moment, he said, "Who are you?"
"Since you were ordered to take me away, why do you need to ask about my identity?"
For a moment, Wu Minao had a hint of anger in his eyes, looked at Quan Fu, and said, "Are you sure this is the person Wu Lang wants us to send away?"
Quanfu hid behind the old servant and did not answer.
The beautiful woman laughed like a silver bell and said, "If it's not me, then who is it?"
Wu Min said: "A major assassination occurred in Chang'an City today. Wu Lang asked me to protect Madam Yang."
The beautiful woman Youyou asked: "Then how do you know that I am not Mrs. Yang? Am I not beautiful enough?"
"I'm offended."
Wu Min couldn't bear to be teased by this beautiful woman, so he waved his hand and ordered the government officials he brought to search the courtyard.
But before they could take action, the nursing staff came out and surrounded them.
Seeing Wu Minao panicking, the smile in the beautiful woman's eyes grew stronger and she asked, "Don't you know who I am?"
"You are not the second wife of the Du family."
"Who said that only Du Erniang can stand up for Du Wulang? The slave family's surname is Daxi."
Wu Min's expression suddenly changed. He was an official in Chang'an, so of course he had heard of Da Xi Yingying's name.
He looked at Quan Fu again, his eyes full of shock, thinking that he had failed to deceive this little slave from the beginning, and instead fell into his trap.
Originally, he wanted to find Yang Yuhuan quietly, but now he was trying to scare the snake away.
"Ms. Daxi, General Guo Qianli was assassinated today. I..."
"You can tell at a glance that I am not Madam Yang. Have you ever seen her?"
"The official has indeed met Mrs. Guo Guo." Wu Min said: "The official was just ordered to investigate the case. Excuse me for disturbing you. Please take my leave.
After saying that, he hurriedly bowed and hurriedly retreated.
Da Xi Yingying did not stop him, but sent someone to pick up Du Wulang, and at the same time sent someone into the palace to report the matter to Xue Bai.
~~
Du Wulang only stayed in Jingzhao Mansion for half a day and then left, without even entering the cell.
But when he left Jingzhao Mansion, he did not praise Quanfu's agility. Instead, he said: "You are smart."
"The villain saw that Wu Min was detaining Wu Lang, so he had no choice but to ask Madam Da Xi to rescue him."
"You don't understand."
Du Wulang sighed and went into the palace to see Xue Bai with a sad face.
As soon as he entered Shaoyang Courtyard, he saw Du Jin standing there with a face as cold as frost.
"Second sister."
"You are so capable now. You dare to buy a house for His Highness, hide a beauty, and have such ambition behind my back. What do you plan to be? A broker?"
"Second sister, please don't speak so harshly." Du Wulang said: "Besides, this matter was just a misunderstanding. Those people broke into Da Xi Yingying's private house..."
Du Jin said: "If they weren't absolutely sure that you were helping His Highness hide people, would they dare to touch you?"
"They have wronged me, will the second sister also wrong me?"
"You still dare to hide it from me. If His Highness falls short because of this matter, can you afford it?"
Du Wulang didn't dare to fight back, lowered his head and scratched his face, followed Du Jin into the hall, and met Xue Bai.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, mainly because Du Jin looked unhappy.
Du Wulang glanced at Xue Bai secretly, wondering what other sweet words he could say to smooth things over.
But when Xue Bai opened his mouth, he didn't talk about Yang Yuhuan. Instead, he said: "Tian Shengong sent someone to redress the grievances. He claimed that he did not burn, kill, rob or kidnap. In addition, he did not hand over Zhang Ting and her son."
When it came to Zhang Ting, Du Jin felt that this matter was not handled well, and his face was no longer so cold, and said: "I have an intuition that Zhang Ting is in Tian Shengong's camp."
"There is no evidence yet."
"Tian Shengong didn't come to see you in person, so he might have rebelled."
This came from Du Jin's intuition, but the matter has not yet been determined, and it is difficult to investigate.
Du Wulang said: "I have been to his camp. There is nothing wrong with Tian Shengong's attitude, but it is a bit strange. I have never seen Tian Shenyu from the beginning to the end. Also, his soldiers are a bit domineering. I really can't tell.
.”
Xue Bai then said: "Tell me about Wu Min."
"Actually, he just scared me, but he didn't really embarrass me." Du Wulang said: "But Prince Zhong's Mansion really went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the disappearance of Zhang Ting's mother and son. I'm afraid this matter will end up happening.
I traced it to the second sister."
Du Jin's calm expression turned grim again, and he said: "Wu Minu is Li Chu's uncle. Now that he dares to jump out, it's time to get rid of him."
Li Chu's biological mother, the Wu family, was exiled to Yeting because of her father's crime, and was later sent to Li Heng. However, she died after giving birth to the child. She was only eighteen years old when she died. She has not been banned so far. Therefore, the Wu family's
His status has never been high.
After Li Cong ascended the throne, Wu Mingyuan was dismissed from his official position, but he was always cautious and was not close to the loyal kings. Later, he bribed Dou Wenyang and found an official position as Jingzhao Facao.
He worked carefully and rarely made mistakes, so when Xue Bai came to supervise the country, he was not dismissed.
When the imperial court exterminated the Buddha before, Li Chu was about to make a move, and Wu Min did not make any move. However, this time he suddenly stood up and openly provoked the forces of the East Palace. Xue Bai could indeed get rid of him with an edict.
"He did it on purpose."
"On purpose?"
"Wu Minu did two things today. One was to find out that the Du family had taken away Zhang Ting's mother and son, and the other was to find Yang Yuhuan while tracking down Zhang Ting. He was destined to be unable to do these two things.
He said he couldn't find Yang Yuhuan, but even if he found her, he didn't have the strength to take her away, so why did Wu Minu do this? What he wanted was not the result, but making the matter bigger."
