Before Su Huo and Mr. Cui arrived first, Zhui Feng had quietly arrived in Kangcheng.
Judging from the traces left by Zhang Ke, he was captured by the Kangcheng military camp.
Zhui Feng turned around and rushed to the military camp, but was stopped halfway.
Looking at the row of men in black in front of him, Zhui Feng felt a little regretful. He should have brought more people here if he had known earlier.
"My dear fellows, I am a member of the King of Chu, why don't you do it for me?"
Zhui Feng was worried that something happened to Zhang Ke, so he simply used the name of King Chu.
Unfortunately, the people on the opposite side were unmoved. The leader directly ordered: "Do it!"
As a last resort, Zhui Feng could only retreat temporarily.
Unfortunately, before he could turn around, a hand knife fell from behind, causing his vision to go dark instantly.
Before losing consciousness, Zhui Feng heard a message: "Take him to Luo City and hand him over to Master Liu!"
Luocheng, Mr. Liu, it was Prince Ning who did it!
At dawn, Wen Qingzhu got up and while having breakfast, Lu Tao sent new news.
After reading the secret message, she put down her chopsticks and looked in the direction of the city gate: "I've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back. Is Xi'er back?"
Lu Tao looked back at the door: "Miss, please eat first, she should be there for a while."
"No, leave one person here to take care of Xi'er. Let's go outside the city first. If Su Huo comes, he will definitely know that I have performed the autopsy."
"Yes." Lu Tao responded, turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Two quarters of an hour later, as the carriage was preparing to go out, Xi'er hurried back.
Lu Tao directly asked her to get in the car first: "Go in and talk to the lady."
Xi'er nodded, panted and jumped onto the carriage, opened the curtain and went in.
As soon as he sat firmly, the carriage started to move.
Xi'er ignored the sweat on her head and reported quickly: "Don't worry, Miss! Everything has been taken care of! Mr. Hu's precious eldest grandson didn't lose a hair. I sent him back intact. I watched the Hu family take him Take it back!"
"Thank you for letting you do such a thing." Wen Qingzhu poured a glass of water and handed it to Xi'er.
Unexpectedly, Xi'er shook her head: "It's okay, madam! Sister Lu Tao has told me that if the Hu family doesn't stand now, there is a high probability that they will be subsumed by the King of Chu in the future. Then we might as well take action first. It's not really about killing them anyway." I grabbed that kid’s hand! I just made a fake hand that looked like the real thing and used it to scare him.”
"It's just that I think the Marquis doesn't like what I'm doing." Wen Qingzhu's mood dropped.
This was the first time she had coerced and coerced an unrelated person.
What Wen Qingzhu knows better is that this won't be the first time, and now she seems to agree more with the methods of her previous life.
After leaving the city, the road is not as smooth as inside the city.
The car curtains swayed, and it was inevitable that I could occasionally see the scenery outside the window.
Likewise, people outside can occasionally see people inside the car.
Shortly after leaving the city, there were some uneven places on the ground, so it was inevitable to bump a few times.
A carriage happened to pass by directly opposite, and it also bumped a bit, revealing a handsome and cold face inside.
With an accidental glance, the man immediately reached out and opened the car curtain.
Looking around, I saw that the passing carriage had begun to accelerate and move away quickly.
"Huo Huo, who did you see?" Mr. Cui opened his eyes when he heard Su Huo's movements.
Su Huo then put down the car curtains and turned back, saying somewhat uncertainly: "It seems to be Miss Ping... Wen."
Mr. Cui didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes and continued to rest.
It can be inferred what happened to the old dean during his lifetime just from the autopsy results.
Apart from the one in front of him, there was only that girl.
The carriage traveled for a day and finally arrived in the capital.
After returning home, Wen Qingzhu went directly to Yang Wu.
But this time, Yinniang stood guard at the door.
"Madam, the Marquis ordered that no one be allowed in."
Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "Can you stop me?"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yinniang couldn't help but say: "Did you know? Yang Wu once predicted for himself that he would betray his relatives and die without a burial place."
"Yinniang also believes in fate?" Wen Qingzhu has always felt that Yinniang is a very perceptive person.
Yinniang's fingertips trembled slightly, but she still got out of the way: "The Marquis has given instructions, and my wife insists on going in, and my subordinates can't stop her."
After saying this, my aunt stepped aside.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at her thoughtfully, then turned and walked towards the dungeon.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Yang Wu saw the person coming.
"Madam, has she finally made a decision?"
"Xi'er, go and put him down."
After giving the instructions, Wen Qingzhu found that the tables and chairs here had been replaced with new ones, and there was a cup of warm tea on the table.
He was kept tied and motionless, and his limbs gradually became stiff and degenerated.
When walking down, Yang Wu could hardly stand still, but Xi'er helped him sit down.
Wen Qingzhu took a bottle of Purple Gold Pills and gave it to him: "There are three pills in it. Take one pill each month and most of your martial arts will be restored."
"Madam, your medical skills are indeed superb." Yang Wu took it over, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and swallowed one directly.
After eating, I felt warm all over and my throat started to feel dry.
Wen Qingzhu reminded him: "You'd better drink more water. This Zijin Pill is different from the one used by ordinary people. It is three times more powerful."
Yang Wu's face slowly turned red. He quickly picked up the teapot and filled it with water.
After drinking the water, Yang Wu couldn't help but start exercising.
The originally stagnant body began to slowly become active.
About an hour later, Yang Wu opened his eyes and found an additional brocade box in front of him.
He reached out and opened it. There were seven ancient copper coins inside.
"This is!"
"I've helped you find your Deng family's ancient Tongyuan."
Yang Wu discovered that maybe he didn't reject his grandfather's inheritance so much.
When he raised his hand almost subconsciously, Wen Qingzhu reached over and closed the box: "I'll give you seven days to tell Fu Lie's fortune."
Yang Wu thought about many people, but he never thought that the person Wen Qingzhu asked to tell fortunes was actually Fu Lie.
"The Marquis is destined to have a rough life, but in the future he will surely be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "I don't care about what happens decades from now, I only care about what happens within a few years."
"The closer the time is, the harder it is to see accurately." Yang Wu was a little unsure.
Lu Tao brought a bundle of books over and put them on the table.
Wen Qingzhu pointed at these books and said: "This is what the old dean gave me. You can study it slowly. There are many useful people around me, and you are not missing. Unless you can do something that others can't do, of."
Yang Wu looked at the bundle of books and fell into deep thought. Should he be asked to learn something that he had once been extremely repelled by
In less than three days, Su Huo returned to Beijing with the body of the old dean.
Also returning with him were Chi Wen from the Kangcheng military camp and the captured King of Chu.
After an overnight investigation, the accounts behind the canal project are being rechecked.
During this period, Jiang Yuancheng was confined to the Prince of Chu's Mansion and could not go anywhere.
Even Zhang Ke was detained alone and interrogated by Fu Lie and Pei Yu in person.
"As for the canal project, I hope Mr. Zhang will recall it carefully again."
Pei Yu was the one who brought up the canal project again, so he was naturally responsible for this matter.
But it was also involved in the case of Ganzhou military salary shortage, so he invited Fu Lie over for interrogation together.
Zhang Ke was silent for a while, vaguely guessing that Wen Qingzhu might take action.
But what exactly did she do
Chi Wen is a smart man and it is impossible for him to take refuge with Wen Qingzhu so quickly.
As for Hu Yinghao, his eldest brother Hu Yingzhuo is a doctor in the Household Department and is about to be promoted.
Could it be that taking sides at this time is because of the Yang family
Xiao Yang is the wife of Hu Yingzhuo's second son, and her sister Yang is the mother of Wen Qingxin.
Wen Qingxin and Wen Qingzhu have always been in close contact. Could it be that the Hu family had secretly taken refuge with Wen Qingzhu
wrong!
Not to mention that little Yang is not the eldest daughter-in-law in the Hu family, and her relationship with Yang is also extremely bad.
As for Wen Qingxin and Wen Qingzhu, although they had always been in contact, according to what he knew, the relationship between the two was a bit strange.
Especially last time Prince Pingguo rushed to Fengguo Temple overnight. In addition to the people of King Chu and King Ning who stopped him, Wen Qingxin persuaded the monks in the temple to stop him.
Later the prince passed away.
Hu Yinghao's decision to cooperate with Wen Qingzhu should be his own decision.
Zhang Ke also realized at this time that there might be a problem between Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie, and she decided to use her own means.
"Prime Minister Pei, everything I have done has been submitted to you. If Prime Minister Pei still wants to hear it, I can tell you, but are you sure you want to hear it again?"
Pei Yu snorted coldly: "Zhang Ke, what exactly have you done for the King of Chu? Don't think that we don't know about the case of Ganzhou military pay shortage. Do you think that everything you have done can escape His Majesty's eyes?"
Zhang Ke did not answer Pei Yu's words, but turned to look at Fu Lie: "Does the Marquis also have evidence here?"
"There is no direct evidence yet." Fu Lie looked at Zhang Ke and began to wonder whether he was a Qingqing person.
"Since it is not direct evidence, I still have nothing to say." Zhang Ke retracted his gaze, slightly raised his chin and looked forward.
"You little-" Pei Yu pointed at Zhang Ke's nose angrily, but found that he could not convict him at all, so he shook his sleeves fiercely, turned around and left.
When the room became quiet, Zhang Ke looked at Fu Lie: "Do you have anything else to ask, Lord Marquis?"
"Nothing, just a little curious. Mr. Zhang is destined to be a dragon and a phoenix among men. Back in Ganzhou, he saved many people by himself. How could he follow the King of Chu?"
Fu Lie's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but very penetrating.
Zhang Ke originally thought that Fu Lie might be smart, but compared to Wen Qingzhu, he was still far from smart.
But now, he said such words.
Obviously he was doubting his purpose of following King Chu, but actually wanted to pry into his inner thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Ke chuckled and asked Fu Lie rather playfully: "Does the Marquis want to win over this official?"
Fu Lie's expression was calm: "From Master Zhang, I can see the shadow of Prime Minister Pei when he was young. I think Prime Minister Pei also knows this. Since he has detained you this time, in order to ensure that the Pei family is prosperous, Shai, you are the person he fears more than the King of Chu."
Zhang Ke finally looked serious: "What is the purpose of Mr. Hou telling me so much?"
"I only want to ask you one thing. Regarding Kangcheng's matter, have you and Qingqing joined forces?"
Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes, were they really divorced
Within a few days, the Ministry of Revenue’s review came out, and it turned out that there was still a problem with the accounts of the canal project.
What Pei Yu didn't expect was that not only did the canal project not misappropriate Ganzhou's silver, but the extra 30,000 taels of silver were not the previous one, but an extra 60,000 taels of silver.
In addition to the 30,000 taels of silver handed over, there are still 30,000 taels of silver that are missing.
When Pei Yu saw the result, he was shocked and angry!
Could it be that Zhang Ke actually has such ability! For such a large project, tens of thousands of workers were mobilized. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs all cooperated fully. Officials and government servants from various places also employed thousands of people.
Zhang Ke didn't even use up the three hundred thousand taels of silver!
"Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke! I actually underestimated you!" Pei Yu was so angry that he threw the report on the floor.
A subordinate came in from outside the door and reported: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has summoned Lord Zhang, and Lord Fu has brought him into the palace!"
"What! Didn't I ask you to withhold the information! Withhold the information! You trash!" Pei Yu's years of self-restraint finally broke out at this moment.
