Looking at Wu Dan's frightened expression, Ying Wuji felt a little touched.
After the incident of Prince Gan's illegitimate son, most of the hostages from other countries who had previously been friendly with the Kingdom of Li avoided Ying Wuji, and even the sons of the princes and nobles of the Kingdom of Li did the same. For several days in a row, the embassy of the Kingdom of Gan was deserted.
Only Wu Dan came to drink with Ying Wuji as usual.
Ying Wuji was a little curious. Although he had no intention of letting this matter go, the Li State officials were suppressing the matter very strictly. They even arrived at the crime scene late at night, and few people knew about it.
This thing...
He asked, "How did you know this?"
Wu Dan gritted his teeth and said, "I secretly saved some money a few days ago. Yesterday, I wanted to go to Yihong Pavilion to spar with Miss Qingque, but she disappeared. I went through great pains to find out from a captain of Feiyu Guard that you were in trouble in Yihong Pavilion. Miss Qingque, who lived in the next room, was also implicated and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
Seeing his eyes were red, I couldn't tell whether he was angry about his brother's sudden change or sad about Miss Qingque's matter.
But this Qingque... is really wronged.
Wu Dan couldn't help but ask, "What on earth is going on?"
Ying Wuji snorted coldly: "Someone has cast a spell on me!"
Wu Dan stared at him with eyes as big as copper bells: "Who is so bold?"
"I don't know either!"
Ying Wuji shook his head, but his eyes narrowed: "But this person must have disliked me for a long time!"
He already had a suspected target in mind.
In the past, Gongzi Wuji did things in a proper manner. Although he did not have any outstanding performance, he had never offended anyone.
In addition, he has always been protected by experts and never goes to messy places, so he has never encountered any danger.
As a result, the master had just been transferred away, and he had just arrived at the brothel not long ago when he encountered this kind of assassination. He would not believe anything that the person behind the scenes said that he had acted on impulse.
He didn't know who was behind this, but he knew that after his death, the diplomatic relations between Gan and Li would definitely deteriorate. Even if Gan coveted Li's money, it would not turn a blind eye to the death of the proton.
So, who benefits?
Based on this calculation, it is very likely that the person behind this Gu-killing incident came from Yan Country.
However, everything requires evidence, and no conclusion can be drawn lightly before the evidence comes out.
Wu Dan gnashed his teeth and said, "This is outrageous! Don't worry, I will help you find the real culprit behind this!"
this……
Ying Wuji was a little touched. I appreciate the kindness, but you really don’t have the brains.
This guy's brain works very fast when he's trying to be sneaky, but he always fails when it comes to serious matters.
He quickly changed the subject: "Don't talk about this anymore. Miss Qingque is not cheap. You have secretly saved so much money, and the people of the Mozhe Guild don't care about you?"
Anyone who joins the Mohist school will have his property owned by the public, even if he is a prince of the State of Wu.
Although it was impossible to hand over the funds of the Wu Embassy, Wu Dan’s private treasury must not be kept.
It's just that Wu Dan was rather cunning. He deliberately cut some of his own funds, put them under the name of the embassy, and used the funds exclusively for brothels, under the pretext of protecting the physical and mental health of the prince of Wu.
Maybe he also has serious mental fatigue.
Because the quality of the women he selected from the brothel was not high, they could barely be considered hard-working, and he didn't spend much money either.
The Mohist Guild also wanted to have longer-term development in the State of Wu, so they turned a blind eye to him.
But the bluebird...
It looks good and is expensive.
This is a matter of principle.
Wu Dan was somewhat indignant: "Why would they control me? I've suffered so much for so many years, can't I enjoy myself secretly? I heard that Miss Qingque will be released tonight, so I will disguise myself and go in tonight. You must not tell anyone else."
Ying Wuji felt a little sympathetic: "Don't worry! I won't tell."
Wu Dan stroked the hair on his chin and said, "I wanted to buy you a drink, but seeing what happened yesterday, I won't force you."
Ying Wuji: “…”
He really didn't want to go, because there were no antibiotics in this world, and if he really got sick it would be difficult to treat.
At least he wouldn't go until penicillin was discovered.
But at this moment.
Bai Zhi trotted over, stuffed a note into his hand, and whispered in his ear, "Sir! This is from Miss Wu."
Wu Shuang preface?
It's only been one night, isn't this too efficient?
Ying Wuji opened the note and saw: The song was played by Miss Hua Chao, but this person has a different identity and is secretly protected by a master. If you want to get close to her, you not only need twenty taels of red silk, but also talent. Sir, please come with me tonight, my salary is not enough.
Because the military strategists, Mohists, and Yin-Yangists all had a strong passion for researching metal smelting, and with the mining of several large silver mines, the world's monetary system has become based on silver.
Twenty taels is indeed a bit expensive for a hundred households.
It’s not that the treatment of the hundred households in Li State was too bad. On the contrary, as the richest vassal state, the official salaries in Li State were also the highest.
It's just that most of the salary of military officials is spent on cultivation resources, and there is not much cash and food. People like Wu Shuangxu came down from the mountains to become officials, a big part of the reason was for the cultivation resources, so it is naturally impossible for them to sell the cultivation resources for silver.
Besides, this matter was originally asked for her help, there was no reason to ask her to pay for it.
But you have no money, but I do?
He only had a little over 100 taels on hand now, and it really hurt to spend 40 taels to take Bai Zhi to listen to a piece of music.
Ying Wuji's gaze quickly turned to Wu Dan: "Dan! Actually, you can go to the brothel, but Miss Qingque is just a vulgar woman and there is really nothing to play with her. Do you want to play something elegant with me?"
