Chapter 293 I'm afraid your brother has no chance
Lord Zhuang suddenly shuddered and looked around, suspecting that a gust of wind had blown in from somewhere, making him feel cold.
"Sir Zhuang, the case of Lu Jing involves a wide range of issues and is very complicated. I think we should still make a decision based on the circumstances. For example, some officials had no choice but to spend money to bribe the government.
In addition, he kept a group of assassins... This matter is not only the Dali Temple's business, but also involves the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Clan Affairs. If Your Majesty orders the Ministry of Clan Affairs to detain him, then the Dali Temple will no longer be able to convict him.
If Lord Zhuang is determined, I will do my best to help you. Out of selfishness, the Wuning Marquisate cannot be easily exposed, so I will try my best to find the hiding place of the assassins. If you find them, do you dare to join forces with the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guards to encircle and suppress them? ”
Su Qianqian asked tentatively.
Lord Zhuang looked at Su Qianqian's eyes. They were clearly round deer eyes, but now they were slightly narrowed, making her look more like a fox, just like the puppy under her feet.
"Sir Su, yesterday I clearly expressed my determination. I would not hesitate to lose my official hat. Raising assassins is not only against the law, but also a threat and provocation to the government and officials. Your Majesty is probably unwilling to believe it. If the whereabouts of the assassins are found, he will be alert to the facts.
Yesterday, I bet my life and property on Lord Xiao Su. Apart from working together with you to support each other, is there any other way out? ”
Lord Zhuang patted a thick stack of files. Su Qianqian looked over and saw that it was the case of Lu Jing buying and selling official positions.
"That's good. My Lord, please complete the cases of Fang Youan and Wu Wencai and report them to me in the next two days. I will not report to the yamen any more. I will also go and find out where I can raise and train assassins."
"Rolling in?" Lord Zhuang looked at the clepsydra on the table beside him. It was already the 9:00 p.m.
"Okay, if there is anything, I will ask someone to look for you." Lord Zhuang snorted and shook his head, then continued to organize the files.
When I came out of Lord Zhuang's official room, I saw Lu Jun walking out of his official room and heading straight towards Lord Zhuang's room. When he saw Su Qianqian, he stopped and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
"Master Su is truly a young talent. With just a few words, you have made the Dali Temple yours. You can command the temple officials. When there is a chance, I will ask you for advice."
Lu Jun pursed his thin lips and started to speak sarcastically.
"Lord Lu, we are colleagues. You always have a chance, unlike your brother, who may never have another chance. Lord Lu should seriously reflect on himself and not end up in that situation. It is too late for me to teach you."
Su Qianqian replied to Lu Jun seriously, bowed and said goodbye: "I still have things to do, Lord Lu, take care."
Looking at Su Qianqian's back as she left, Lu Jun clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.
After coming out of the Dali Temple, Su Qianqian took Xue Ke and Dian Feng and took a carriage to Anmin Teahouse. She received the news sent by Tao Huan at the teahouse.
There were already some customers in the teahouse at this hour, but not many. Su Qianqian followed the shopkeeper's instructions and went directly to the second floor and entered the fourth elegant room. As expected, Tao Huan was already waiting inside.
"Master Su, you were assassinated on Mount Weiming a few days ago. Do you know who did it?"
Tao Huan poured Su Qianqian a cup of tea and asked in a low voice.
"Master Tao, isn't Prince Ping among them?" Su Qianqian said with a smile.
Tao Huan shook his head: "Prince Ping received the news that day and rushed over with his men. The person who assassinated you was not him, but...Prince An.
This person is deep-minded and extremely ruthless. If he targets you, you must be extremely careful in the future. Even in Xijing, the spies of Daliang are omnipresent. ”
Su Qianqian nodded secretly in her heart, at least in this matter, Tao Huan did not lie.
"I sent you a message that day. I found a personal attendant who served tea. His name is Ma Furen. Do you remember him?"
Su Qianqian looked at Tao Huan and did not directly say his real name.
"The name Ma Furen is not among the Marquis's personal followers." Tao Huan shook his head, the expectation in his eyes dimmed, but then brightened again.
"This must be an alias! Just like me, if he escaped from the military camp and hid, how could he reveal his real name, Ma Furen... One of the three followers has the surname Feng, Feng... Shuang... Yi!"
As expected of the commander of the scout camp, after all these years, he can still remember the names of the Marquis's close followers.
"Yes, these three words are related to each other. Feng Shuangyi must have hidden his real name. If so, something unusual did happen back then. Otherwise, why would he hide his identity?
Mr. Su, could you please let me meet Ma Furen? Once I see him, I will definitely be able to recognize whether he is the Marquis's personal follower! ”
Su Qianqian's original intention was to let Tao Huan persuade Feng Shuangyi. Perhaps only when he met his former comrades would he open up his heart. Relying solely on the system to find the fragments of his experience bit by bit would be a waste of time and effort.
However, this matter also has risks. What if Tao Huan suddenly turns against them and kills Feng Shuangyi, then the only clue will be cut off. But it is impossible to let the guards stand by and no one except trustworthy people can be present.
Su Qianqian thought for a moment and came up with an idea, so she nodded and agreed, and asked Tao Huan to disguise himself and go to the Marquis' Mansion after dark, and she would pick Tao Huan up to enter the mansion.
After leaving the teahouse and returning home, I happened to lift the car window curtain on the way and saw Xie Fangyuan's children walking by holding recruitment signs and shouting, "If you want to learn skills, which one is the best? Find Lan Xiang in Luoyingfang..."
Xue Ke leaned out of the window and greeted the child: "Well done Jia Ming, how many people have you recruited?"
When the kid saw that it was Xue Ke, he was pleasantly surprised. But when he heard how many people he would recruit, he immediately became dejected and said, "Not yet..."
"Don't worry, my lady said that if we keep promoting it, the quantitative change will turn into qualitative change, and then many people will come to enroll!"
Xue Ke repeated Su Qianqian's words to Jia Ming again. Although he didn't know what quantitative change and qualitative change were, it sounded very profound.
Jia Ming nodded, chuckled, raised the wooden sign and continued walking: "Which company is the best for learning technology..."
Su Qianqian returned to the mansion. This time, Su Xing was waiting for her at the second gate, with an anxious look on his face.
"Madam, you are finally back. Come with me to take a look. Young Master Li and the Second Madam were arguing, and the Second Madam was so sad that she vomited blood!"
Su Xing helped Su Qianqian into the warm sedan chair, and without even having time to change clothes, they hurried to Xin Jilan's yard.
The yard was even quieter than the day when the Xin family's visitors came. The maids and old women wished they could walk with their feet on their heads. When they saw Su Qianqian, they quickly bowed and spoke in voices like thieves.
Su Qianqian couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. These two little brats were quite capable of causing trouble. They looked at each other silently and then came up to her and attacked her by surprise.
When they entered Xin Jilan's room, Madam Qin and Mrs. Du were both there. Xin Jilan was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Qin Li was kneeling in front of the bed with tears on his face and his neck stubbornly stiff.
