Chapter 131 Take it here!
The next two days were calm. With the arrival of the "Joint Investigation Team" from the capital in Shuzhou City, the case of the prince's assassination officially entered the investigation stage.
People sent by the Dali Temple and the Xuan Jing Division had secretly come to see Wei Changtian, but of course they did not ask about the case, but to ask for his "opinions" on the case.
Perhaps even Ning Yongnian did not expect that Wei Changtian actually controlled two of the three major judicial institutions in Daning.
According to these two people, the palace's attitude towards the assassination case is that it must be closed before the end of the year no matter what.
It is already November, and there are less than two months left until the Chinese New Year.
In other words, the joint investigation team must find a scapegoat within two months.
This scapegoat can be any force, so these two people came to seek Wei Changtian's opinion, obviously wanting him to "kill with a borrowed knife."
Wow, what an unexpected gain.
Wei Changtian certainly would not refuse such a good thing, and his suggestion was -
"That day I saw several assassins with black cloth embroidered with white dragons tied to their arms."
White Dragon, Xuantian Society.
The two immediately understood what Wei Changtian meant, and immediately said that this case was most likely committed by the Xuantian Society.
After all, the Xuantian Society had never been on good terms with the imperial court, so it was reasonable for them to want to murder a prince now.
Wei Changtian certainly didn't expect that the imperial court would be able to kill Xiao Feng in the process of suppressing the Shuzhou branch of Xuantian Society, but it was always good to weaken his power.
In addition to this matter, the two also brought secret letters from Wei Xianzhi and Li Kan.
The former talked about a lot of family matters, and the latter expressed loyalty for a long time, but both letters mentioned one thing again - something big might be about to happen in Shuzhou, which might be related to Prince Shun.
Including Wang Er, three people have already reminded Wei Changtian about this matter.
However, judging from their statements, they probably don't know more of the inside story yet.
Wei Changtian had thought about telling Wei Xianzhi what happened that day in the palace, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so.
On the one hand, he was not quite sure whether this "big event" was Ning Yongnian's plan to kill Ning Qingyu again. On the other hand, he was afraid that the fact that "Ning Qingyu invited him to rebel" would be leaked.
In short, Wei Changtian's attitude towards this matter is to stay out of it and wait and see.
The two Nings can do whatever they want, it has nothing to do with me.
Another day passed.
As usual, Wang Daochang came to report on Xiao Feng's situation every three days, but as usual, there was no useful information.
Yang Liushi hasn't returned from the Shiwanda Mountains yet.
However, since the Freemasons arrived, other matters have made rapid progress.
For example, Chu Xianping, the "king of licking dogs" whom Wei Changtian has always been concerned about.
"Sir, this person lives alone in the west of the city. His parents have passed away and he has no other brothers or sisters."
"He was used to drinking in a tavern after finishing his shift at the Xuanjing Division, and would not go home until the evening. Our people followed him for three consecutive days, day after day."
"Other than that, nothing was found."
Zhang San quickly finished reporting the results of his investigation into Chu Xianping over the past few days.
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and asked, "What about women? Have you noticed which woman he interacts with more frequently?"
"The spy didn't mention anything in this regard. I guess they haven't discovered it yet."
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Changtian nodded and looked at the sky outside the window: "According to what you said, he is about to go to the pub to drink, right?"
"yes."
"Prepare the car and take me there."
At the end of the You hour, west of Shuzhou City, Zuixiao Tower.
Chu Xianping, dressed in official uniform, was sitting in his old seat with a somewhat melancholy look in his eyes.
As long as he had no tasks to do, he would come here to drink almost every day, so he had already become familiar with the guys in the store.
"Master Chu, you've been drinking more wine these days than usual. This is already the third pot."
The waiter with a towel on his shoulder put the wine pot on the table and asked with a smile: "Is there something bothering you? Are you drinking to relieve your sorrow?"
"You're too talkative."
Chu Xianping rolled his eyes at the waiter and said, "Why? Are you worried that I can't afford the wine?"
"How can that be possible? You are the master of Xuan Jing Si. We wouldn't dare to say anything even if you don't pay for the drinks!"
The waiter came closer and said in a low voice, "I saw that you were very depressed, so I came here to tell you a way to relieve your depression!"
"Huh?"
Chu Xianping took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "What method?"
"Hehe, the one who can solve a man's worries is naturally a woman."
The waiter smiled flatteringly and said, "I know a good place not far from here, it's called Manchunyuan."
"This brothel just opened recently. You can sleep with two girls for just one tael of silver."
"Master Chu, if you go to such a beautiful event with one dragon and two phoenixes, I guarantee that all your worries will disappear!"
"If I wasn't short of money, I would have tried this kind of ecstasy long ago."
It must be said that the waiter had a talent for salesmanship, and with his drooling expression, he made Manchunyuan look like some kind of fairyland where one could dispel all the worries of the world.
However, Chu Xianping remained indifferent after hearing this, and just smiled and asked:
"Tell me, how much money can you get if I go to that brothel?"
"I"
The waiter immediately became depressed and replied hesitantly: "My Lord, if you spend one ounce, I will get twenty coins."
"Here are twenty cents. Please stop bothering me."
Chu Xianping casually threw out a string of copper coins, which clinked on the table.
"Oh! Thank you for the reward!"
The waiter quickly put the copper coin back into his chest, thanked the guest repeatedly, and then ran happily to the door to greet the new guest.
The surprise came so suddenly that the smile on his face when he greeted the guests was particularly sincere.
"Sir, would you like to eat or drink?"
"drink wine."
"Okay!"
The waiter bent down 90 degrees and led the visitor inside: "Sir, please come this way!"
“.”
Wow, is the service in this pub so good? Haidilao in another world? ?
Wei Changtian was quite surprised when he saw the waiter in front of him who was definitely providing "smiling service", no, even "laughing service".
But at this moment, someone was more surprised than him.
Is that person Master Wei?
Chu Xianping looked at Wei Changtian who suddenly appeared, and after hesitating for a moment, he did not rush forward to greet him. Instead, he waited for the latter to sit down at an empty table, then he straightened his clothes, stood up and walked over, saluted respectfully and said, "I am Chu Xianping, meeting Master Wei."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian looked up when he heard that. He was a little "confused" at first, but then he "suddenly realized" and said, "It's Brother Chu! Why are you here?"
"My Lord, I was drinking here and happened to see you coming in, so I came over to say hello."
"That's quite a coincidence."
Wei Changtian sighed and asked casually, "Did you come here by yourself too?"
"yes."
"Eh? Since you and I are both alone, why don't we have a few drinks together?"
"this"
Chu Xianping was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will obey your command."
"Haha, sit down, no need to be so reserved."
Wei Changtian smiled and asked Chu Xianping to sit down, feeling very happy.
The protagonist's military advisor? Here you go!
