After Concubine Di Gui left the Ancestral Palace, she immediately sent someone to send her bib to the Huai Palace.
Rong Yue immediately went to the Royal Palace of Chu, asked Duo Bao to smell his scarf, and took her to the Huguo Temple first.
Xu Yi stared at Zhao Hongfang and got news. He secretly checked and found that many drug dealers came to ask him for money. From here, it can be proved that he is the mastermind behind the large-scale drug purchase, but Xu Yi also checked. , This medicine shop earns only a few hundred taels of silver each year. It is impossible to buy so many medicines on a large scale. After further investigation, it was discovered that he had close contacts with those rich Jiangnan merchants.
Therefore, Zhao Hongfang is not a mastermind, he is just a small corner in Hong Lie's dark line.
Looking for Princess An's hiding place, Yu Wenhao divided two lines, Rong Yue looked for it with fanfare, and Xu Yi investigated secretly.
In order to have one more clue, he took Gu Si to find Hongye. Hongye also gave a picture to circle the places where the spy may hide. He explained: "Except for the mountains, it is most likely to be residential buildings, and it may be the poor. Ju, Princess Huai went to Huguo Temple, but Huguo Temple is unlikely because that place has already been raised, and they will not detain people there. Look for them in poor houses."
Yu Wenhao thinks it makes sense, "Xu Yi has already lurked a lot of people around. If he is in a slum, I believe there will be news soon."
"Why did Wang An focus on that Zhao Hongfang? Although he is behind the operation of herbal medicine, it is said that it has nothing to do with the kidnapping of Princess An and the little princess." Gu Si asked.
Hong Ye shook his head, "It's not like that. Even if he takes care of herbal medicine, it doesn't mean he can't do anything else. I suspect that the butler took Princess An to his medicine shop first, and then he transported it out."
Gu Si was still puzzled, "Why did Wang An know that it was Zhao Hongfang? He was in the palace when Concubine An was taken away."
Yu Wenhao said: "Hong Lie once invited him to cooperate. He must know something about Hong Lie's spying. This Zhao Hong opened a drug store in Beijing and he did Hong Lie's spy. He must have known it. He put Zhao Hong away. The name tells this king, it’s not necessarily because Zhao Hongfang took Concubine An abducted. He wanted to tear a hole from Zhao Hongfang. The spy is a net. If you tear a hole, you can take it down."
Gu Si understands it, and regretfully said: "In this way, Wang An knows a lot of things. If he could cooperate with us earlier, why is this? Now he wants to tell us it will not be possible."
After a pause, Gu Si said again: "But he chose to go back to Jiangbei Mansion instead of dealing with us with Hong Lie. It's pretty good."
Hong Ye said indifferently, "He is not stupid. How can he not know that he will die even worse if he cooperates with Hong Lie now? He has nothing to rely on. Once it is done, Hong Lie first knocks his head on the mountain and shakes the tiger with his head. I don’t necessarily know."
He looked at Yu Wenhao, "What's the next step?"
Yu Wenhao looked at him, "After finding Princess An, I will talk to Hong Lie and set a Hongmen banquet."
"However, he may not know that we have recognized his identity." Hongye frowned. "He may not be willing to go to the appointment. Even if he does, he may set the overall situation."
"It's inevitable. Don't drag it any longer. If you drag it any more, Bei Mo will soon be under a city. It's best to force them to act earlier to free up their hands to deal with Bei Mo." Yu Wenhao said.
Gu Si agreed with Yu Wenhao's statement, "Hong Lie will make arrangements, won't we? If he dares to come, he will die if he fights this life."
Hong Ye frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, how could he be so easily recognized by others
But the Pingnan Prince I saw that day, no matter from his tolerance or his actions, he looked very much like him.
He feels that he is worrying too much. No matter how powerful he is, he is not just a mere mortal
Finding Concubine An has become a vital part. Only by finding them can King An be able to cooperate without any worries.
On the surface, the capital is still very peaceful, but underneath the calm, undercurrents are raging.
Di Zhongliang’s funeral was not taken care of by the Di family and Zhu family, but the Zhu family asked someone to notify Di Weiming, who was recuperating, and Di Weiming came forward to deal with the matter.
When Di Weiming appeared in Jingzhao Mansion, he was personally received by King Qi.
Di Weiming's whole person is a lot older, with gray hair and a lot of wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows, such as thousands of trenches. Especially when he squinted his eyes to look at the king, he didn't say anything, but he was full of old age.
Di Zhongliang’s body was covered with lime, but it was already faintly stinking. It had been transferred to Yizhuang. It had not been engulfed. It was only placed on a wooden bed. King Qi confessed that he was covered with a new quilt. Not too shabby.
Di Weiming had to go to Yizhuang in person to examine the corpse. King Qi arranged for him and he personally accompanied Di Weiming there.
When he went out, Yu Wenhao happened to come to Jingzhao's Mansion. When he saw Di Weiming, his heart was slightly shocked. How could he be so old
Di Weiming glanced at Yu Wenhao, and the corners of her shriveled lips were coldly curved, "Does the prince know the old minister?"
This voice is also very old, expressing mockery.
Yu Wenhao said: "How come you don't know each other? It's just getting older, everyone will get old."
Di Weiming tried his best to straighten his waist, keeping his remaining dignity, and walked on step by step.
Yu Wenhao called King Qi over and asked, "He came to collect Di Zhongliang's body?"
Wang Qi said: "Yes, it should be Zhu Guogong who notified him that he was here. This entrance frightened me. How can I be so old?"
Yu Wenhao said: "You don't have to go personally, just ask someone to take him there."
"It's okay, I'll go there. Di Zhongliang also blames the poor." Qi Wang said.
"Bring a few more people." Yu Wenhao knew that he was pitiful for Di Zhongliang and didn't bother to stop him.
"I see, is there anything wrong with Brother Fifth that you came here on purpose?" Qi Wang asked.
Yu Wenhao said: "It's okay, I'll check something, you go, go early and get back early. You have been worried about this matter for so long, and it has been resolved earlier, which saves you from always talking about it."
Qi Wang said, "This Di Zhongliang is really pitiful, everyone is dead, and the Di family is still unwilling to come forward to bury him, because they are afraid that you will insult him."
Yu Wenhao didn't want to entangle this matter, and said, "Go ahead."
"Good!" After Wang Qi finished speaking, he went down the stone steps.
Yu Wenhao walked inside, thought for a while, and looked back at Di Weiming. He slowly got into the carriage, his movements were very awkward, and he looked like he was seriously ill, thinking about his power and prestige of the day and his downfall today. , Yu Wenhao really feels that it is better not to be too arrogant.
After getting on the carriage, Di Weiming's hand slowly pulled down the curtain, and a pair of cold and sharp eyes came out from the gap of the slowly falling curtain, like electric light.
Yu Wenhao stood with his hands behind, watching the carriage slowly turn around.
