After some preparations, the Xiongnu sent the couple off in person.
When leaving Tianying City, Zhi Ta had a keen sense that something was wrong. Looking at the motionless Lu family army not far away, he stared slightly and asked: "Why didn't this cavalry move?"
Wen Qingzhu held Fu Lie's hand, turned around and said with a smile: "This cavalry is a dowry given to Sister Shuo by our Qi State. Wouldn't it be better to strengthen your Huns' troops?"
"Ha." Zhita chuckled and said with a slightly focused gaze, "Princess, a cavalry requires manpower and material resources to train, not to mention the famous Lu Family Army. Your Qi country is too extravagant, isn't it?"
After letting go, Wen Qingzhu looked at him seriously: "How can this be a luxury? This shows that our Qi State attaches great importance to the marriage with the Xiongnu."
Jieta raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Lie: "The regent also thinks it is appropriate to send such a heavy dowry?"
The matter of sending a cavalry team to Lei Shuo was discussed by Wen Qingzhu and Lu Shu in front of him, and they had no intention of interfering with him at all.
Fu Lie replied calmly: "This is the result of a joint discussion between the Emperor and the Lu family, and I have never interfered."
Having said this, it is obvious that the regent and his wife will not take away this cavalry.
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and He Lai behind him suddenly asked: "Does the queen know about this?"
Originally, Zita wanted to ask Lei Shuo, but now that Fu Lie and his wife were here, he decided to put it aside for the time being.
There was a stalemate for a while, but the tower would not stop them from leaving.
As soon as He Lai intervened, the situation suddenly changed and Lei Shuo was asked to balance the situation.
As early as yesterday, Wen Qingzhu had discussed it with her and asked Lei Shuo to answer whatever she wanted.
At this time, whether she asked Wen Qingzhu to take the cavalry away or agreed to stay, it would create a rift between Lei Shuo and Zhita.
"I found out yesterday." Lei Shuo looked at Zhita and said bluntly, "I can't control this cavalry. Your Majesty, you can keep them if you want, and send them away if you want. I won't have any objections. "
Jita looked into her eyes, and there was no trace of lying at all.
After a moment of silence, Jita finally compromised: "Prince Regent, Princess, have a good journey."
"Thank you for your kind words." Wen Qingzhu held Fu Lie's hand and got into the carriage.
As Fu Lie followed, the carriage moved slowly.
Wen Qingzhu was still worried: "If we plot Zita like this, will it bring trouble to Sister Shuo?"
"Don't worry. Only after he discovers the Ruan family will he know how honest and amiable the Lu family is." Thinking of the joint preparations made by the Lei family and the Ruan family, Fu Lie couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As a parent, he really does. Far-reaching plan.
Ruan Mi would not have allocated these 3,000 people if Mrs. Ruan, the third wife of Lei, had not begged her hard.
After returning to Dingyuan three days later, Niu Zhang was waiting outside Fu Lie's courtyard.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu appear, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Princess! Please, save me! I have already paid the debt I should repay, not to mention that the mastermind of Tang Xiao's murder was not my brother-in-law. But—"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu saw Tang Qin coming with a familiar person.
Before they could stop in front of him, Niu Zhang turned around and was so shocked that he immediately got up and ran to Wen Qingzhu's back.
"See you, Princess." Tang Qin brought a familiar person over to salute.
"No courtesy." Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and looked at the young man behind Tang Qin. It turned out to be Tao Xin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Tang Qin pointed sideways at the person behind him and introduced: "This is Master Tang's only son Tang Xin. He has been hiding for many years. Now he finally caught Tao Wanwan and came back to restore his identity."
"You are actually Tang Xiao's only son. I remember that his son was not a playboy?" When we were investigating Tang Xiao's case, we also carefully investigated Tang Xiao's son.
Tang Xin, who had changed his appearance, bowed and explained: "I was young and ignorant at the time, and I only woke up when my father was killed. I had no way to take revenge, and I didn't want to implicate the Tang family in Yunzhou, so I could only tolerate it step by step and plan slowly. Today The final murderer Tao Wanwan was finally caught."
Once inside, Lu Tao immediately ordered tea to be served and everyone sat down.
Only Niu Zhang felt guilty and dared to stand behind the partition and did not follow him at all.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes went back and forth between him and Tang Xin, and he remembered clearly that it was the Medicine God Valley that Niu Zhang went to to avoid Tang Xin last time.
Now that I'm back, why doesn't it seem to be consistent with what Tang Xin said
"Princess, Tang Xin was able to capture Tao Wanwan this time, thanks to Miss Aping." Tang Qin took out a map from his sleeve and presented it to Wen Qingzhu.
After receiving it, Wen Qingzhu was surprised to see that Tao Wanwan was hiding in Yunzhou
He looked up at Tang Qin and asked, "So Tao Baiwan never left?"
Tang Xin nodded: "Originally, according to the plan, I was going to Jiangnan to search, but when I went out, I met Miss Aping. She gave me a map of Yunzhou, drew a dot and said, the person I want to find is here. So I immediately contacted Brother Tang Qin and started to lead people to arrest him, and things went extremely smoothly, and I also found letters between him and Jiang Yuancheng."
"Then have you seen it?" Wen Qingzhu glanced at Fu Lie. Fu Lie and Lei Xiao planned to go to Shazhou to test it out tomorrow.
Thinking of Tao Wanwan's current appearance, Tang Qin suggested: "Princess, I think it is necessary for you to go and see for yourself.
Just as he was about to go out, Lu Chuan came over. Fu Lie remembered his plan and asked Wen Qingzhu to accompany him.
He wanted to ask, but when he saw Fu Lie's eyes, Wen Qingzhu remembered that he also had a secret, so he didn't speak.
On the way to Yunzhou by carriage, Lu Tao saw that she was uneasy and asked, "Have the princess and the prince not reconciled yet?"
"Reconciliation?" Wen Qingzhu was startled and saw Lu Tao pointing in the direction of the Xiongnu.
She couldn't help but laugh and said: "It has nothing to do with Princess Xianbei's matter. He has already explained it clearly to me."
Lu Tao didn't understand: "What is the princess still worried about?"
What are you worrying about? Wen Qingzhu actually knew too well. She just had an intuition about what Fu Lie and the others were working together, but they kept it from her.
Except that Jiang Yuancheng has not been killed yet, it can be said that she, Wen Qingzhu, has no regrets anymore.
"Lu Tao, have you noticed that Fu Lie has been avoiding me recently?" This feeling became stronger and stronger after Wen Qingzhu proposed the method to treat Jiang Yuanhan.
"Is it possible that the princess is overthinking it? Miss Lei just married the Xiongnu, and the atmosphere was too stiff when she left. Moreover, the regent has to go to Shazhou to visit. There are many things going on. Didn't he notice your feelings? ?" Lu Tao analyzed it carefully and felt that the problem between the regent and the princess was not big.
Arriving at the Yunzhou Yamen Prison, Wen Qingzhu quickly saw Tao Wanwan. He was sitting in the prison with dull eyes. Wen's body was covered with flying insects, and rats crawled over his hands.
But this left Tao Wanwan unmoved.
"What's going on?" Wen Qingzhu looked around and saw that the cells were empty and no one lived here.
After taking the key from the jailer, Tang Qin opened the prison door, put on his veil, and walked to Tao Wanwan to stop.
He took out a dagger and quickly stabbed Tao Baiwan in the eye. He didn't change at all, as if he was a dead man.
In fact, Tao Wanwan is still alive.
Tang Qin used the dagger to reach Tao Baiwan's face again and made a severe cut. The blood that flowed out was not red, but an almost black color.
Turning around and walking out, Tang Qin pointed to some wormwood ashes on the ground and said, "Doctor Du has seen his situation. Theoretically, he is poisoned, but currently it can only delay the onset of the poison, and the poisoning can also be contagious." .
Several officers and soldiers have been infected so far, but the problem is not serious and can be controlled now. Only Tao Wanwan was obviously fine when we went to arrest him. But when he came to the prison, he was suddenly poisoned. "
"Tell me the arrest process that day in detail. Don't miss any detail." Wen Qingzhu looked at Tao Wanwan in front of him. The only person who would take action at this time was Jiang Yuancheng.
What surprised her was that Jiang Yuancheng should be gathering troops at this time, so how could he arrange things on Yunzhou's side.
Tang Qin carefully recounted the story of how he captured Tao Wanwan. The soldiers were so quick that he still didn't notice many details.
Squinting at Tao Baibai in the prison, Wen Qingzhu turned around and left: "Go and see where Tao Baibai was caught!"
After the Xiongnu attack, Yunzhou City was already like an iron barrel.
Later, when Tao Wanwan sneaked in, Tang Qin wrote a letter to Fu Lie for advice.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of letting the people of Dingyuan leave the city, we conducted a thorough inventory of Yunzhou.
After this, Yunzhou has no hidden dangers at all.
Arriving at Tao Wanwan's residence, Wen Qingzhu checked it carefully and found nothing.
Tang Qin followed her: "Tao Baiwan is a cunning person. Apart from this, we have found no other place where he has lived."
"Have they all been checked? Wei Niang has also come to see it?" Wen Qingzhu turned around, wondering if he had considered the wrong direction
After leading her out, Tang Qin replied: "Doctor Du has been here before. He has been to every other hospital and found no toxins."
Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped and looked back at the room, feeling that he had overlooked something.
After a long silence, she looked at Tang Xin who remained silent and asked, "You have been following Tao Wanwan for the longest time. What is the thing that he can't let go of the most?"
"Money." Tang Xin replied without hesitation, "Tao Baiwan loves money as much as his life, and he has many spare vaults. As far as I know, he has a box full of vault keys, but I have never seen it. .”
Wen Qingzhu murmured to himself: "Box... key..."
The clues about Tao Wanwan quickly gathered in my mind. According to my superficial understanding of him, Tao Wanwan loved money, but he definitely also cherished his life.
He must have known that Jiang Yuancheng would not let him go, so he took the risk and sneaked into Yunzhou City.
After all, this is the base camp of Fu Jiajun, and Jiang Yuancheng would never dare to take any risks.
Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Tang Qin: "Have you searched Tao Wanwan's belongings? Are they all still there?"
"Here! They're all at the Yamen!" Tang Qin immediately reacted to this reminder.
He rushed to the Yamen and ordered people to present Tao Wanwanshan's things.
There are several keys, several jade pendants, and a set of gold locks.
With a raised corner of his mouth, Wen Qingzhu directly ordered: "Break it open for me!"
After a burst of clanging sound, except for the broken jade pendant and the deformation of the key and golden lock, there were no cracks at all.
This made Wen Qingzhu a little surprised, and he picked up a deformed key: "Gold products are difficult to damage, but what material is this key made of?"
After putting down the key, she called for a goldsmith and a blacksmith. It took her more than two hours and repeated experiments to finally break the key and the gold lock.
After the golden lock cracked, the copper key inside was quickly revealed.
Among the transformed keys, more than ten map fragments were found.
The combined result turned out to be a complete map, with a gold ingot label drawn in the center.
Wen Qingzhu was slightly confused: "Where is this?"
Tang Qin took a closer look and said in shock: "Isn't this the inside of the mountains outside Yunzhou City!"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows, Tao Wanwan's wealth is actually in Yunzhou
They went up the mountain all night and searched for most of the night, and finally found a hidden entrance.
In order to avoid being noticed, only Tang Qin accompanied Wen Qingzhu and Lu Tao this time, and no one else was allowed to follow them.
