lazy tang

Chapter 803
Li Chengqian went to visit his doctor in the afternoon, but he disappeared in the evening.With decades of experience in officialdom, Cen Wenwen keenly felt that something big was about to happen.Now that the emperor is not in Chang'an, an accident at this time will be a major event.

"Yu Zhining heard that he vomited blood and died an hour ago. The second son of his family, Yu Shenxing, has already reported to the East Palace, because there is no further news when the incident happened too shortly."

Cen Wenwen got dressed and paced back and forth in the study.At this time, we can't be chaotic, and we must do something.Otherwise, the development of things will not go according to your imagination.

"Immediately mobilize our people to find out the cause of Yu Zhining's death. It is best to find out the specific details of Yu Zhining's death, go to the cashier to withdraw money immediately, and take the old man's token to do it. Remember! No matter how much it costs Qian, as long as you can find out the truth, you will be doing a great job." Cen Wenwen firmly believed that there was something strange about Yu Zhining's death.

"No!" The servant agreed, and immediately went out to do business.

When Li Chengqian heard that Yu Zhining had died, a stone fell from his heart.In any case, the party hung up.No one will know about this matter, even though the damn edict has not been found yet.But Yu Zhining died in such a hurry, it was too late to tell his son about the edict.

"Be careful, your condolences! You go back to arrange for the offspring of the old man first, and I will go to mourn tomorrow morning. Mr. Yu has worked for the orphan for many years, and the orphan will write a letter to fight for a good posthumous title for him. If you have difficulties at home, you can tell the orphan. Gu will do his best to help those who can." Although he felt relaxed, Li Chengqian still had a straight face.With a sad expression, he comforted Yu Shenxing.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yu Shen saluted and turned away with sobs.

Li Chengqian was in a good mood and decided to go back and sleep well.I haven't fallen asleep for half the night, and now I am so sleepy.

Li Chengqian could go to sleep, but He Zhu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.The reason is very simple, the cook who was secretly placed in Yu Zhining's house by the Prince's East Palace disappeared.If someone else is missing, that's all!This is the person who directly poisoned Yu Zhining, and originally planned to silence him.It's good now, no one is alive, no one is dead.

"A big living person, how could it be missing? The whole Chang'an is under curfew, can he fly with his arms? Go and find me, if you can't find it, use your heads." He Zhu is going crazy, this Chang'an The city is not covered by a prince.King Wei is gone, but the old fox in King Wei's mansion is still there.If you let him smell a little...!He Zhu couldn't imagine what would happen if the man fell into the hands of Wei Wangfu.

You have to find the cook, you have to see people, you have to see dead bodies.Of course, it is better to see the dead body.

That night, Chang'an City was a bit chaotic, and some people in black clothes ran around the streets holding tokens of the Eastern Palace in their hands.Marquis Wu on the street was a little bewildered, he had never seen these unprovoked big shots running around like frightened donkeys.Some older Marquis Wu somehow recalled that chaotic night more than ten years ago.Quite a few people took advantage of the vacancy and hurried home, telling their family members that they must plug in the bed tonight.If there is a cellar, the family members are also arranged to sleep in the cellar.

The chaos lasted from midnight to dawn, and the officials opened the gates of the city.The hard-working shopkeepers have gotten up early and started doing business.The best business, of course, is to set up a stall early.

He Zhu reluctantly gave up. It is impossible to openly seek such a thing.As long as other people know that they are looking for Yu's cook, the fool will know what happened.In that case, there will never be a single team looking for a cook.The difficulty of things will increase exponentially.

The news of Yu Zhining's death quickly spread throughout the honorable class in Chang'an.People who received the letter continued to come to Yu's house to express their condolences.Death is like a lamp going out, and everyone is a minister of the same dynasty.If you say strange things and make trouble at this time, it will be an endless hatred for a lifetime.

Cen Wenwen naturally wanted to take a look. He really wanted to know how Yu Zhining died and what the current situation of Yu's family was like.Wei Wangfu spent a lot of money on Yu Zhining, and now that he is dead, how can Li Tai explain when he comes back.

"Master Taifu, the villain has activated Yu's internal line and tied a person back. Because of the curfew last night, there were too many people on the street, so there was no way to get him back inside the mansion. Just got it back!" Just as he was about to go out, he was sent out to do some errands The servant hurriedly ran over to report.

"Who was kidnapped?" Cen Wenwen was a little surprised, this servant usually handled things in a certain way.Why is Meng Lang like this today? Prince Wei's Mansion is not a den of bandits, just kidnap someone casually!If people know about it, it will be a heavy blow to King Wei's reputation.

"Master Taifu, the villain has tied back the chef of Yu's family. According to the insider, this kid belongs to the prince. Before Yu Zhining died, someone saw him meet with a servant. Because of the urgent time, so Haven't had time to ask questions yet."

"Where is he? The old man wants to interrogate himself." Cen Wenwen thought for a while, and decided to go to Yu's house after interrogating first.He really wanted to know what happened last night.If this person really belongs to the prince, the answer is likely to come out of his mouth.

"The person has been brought to the arsenal and is guarded by special personnel."

"En!" Cen Wenwen said "En", and walked towards the arsenal.

The arsenal is the place where Wei Wang's mansion stores weapons, but Li Tai made the arsenal very strong.From the very beginning, he set it up as a private prison.But it's been years since I've used it.We have our first guest here today!
Cen Wenwen looked at the guy with messy bun and swollen nose and face in front of him.It seems that he has suffered a lot before coming here.These guards of Wei Wangfu are not good men and women.

"Untie!" Cen Wenwen ordered, and someone immediately untied the rope.However, there were still two guards holding his shoulders, because Cen Wenwen was too close.

"Do you know the old man?" Cen Wenwen pointed to his nose and asked.

The man shook his head blankly, but he also knew that the man in front of him must be a big shot. "My lord, please forgive me, but this villain is just a cook! Please forgive me...!"

"Ming people don't speak dark words. The old man knows who you are and who is behind it. Now let you get to know the old man. The old man Cen Wenwen is the official Juzhong Shuling, and he is the son of Jiangling County. Since the eighth year of Zhenguan, Mrs. Ren Fu is teaching His Royal Highness the King of Wei academically." Cen Wenwen sat on the chair and talked about his resume word by word.

The cook's forehead began to sweat. He had heard of Cen Wenwen's name before.Since it was the turn of such a big person to interrogate himself in person, then his details must have been known.At the same time, it also explained that he was never ordered to leave this room alive again.

"Do you think that you are dead this time? Hehe! The old man told you that if you escaped back to the East Palace last night, then you were dead. What you did will not be seen in the light. The crown prince wants to keep it secret, so you are dead Don't think that these people are harming you, they are actually saving you." Cen Wenwen pointed his finger at the guards of Wei Wangfu who were surrounding him.

"Cough...! Hmm!" The cook wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.He coughed lightly, and pulled two hands on the collar.Now he is really depressed!

"Have suffered! Don't worry, I won't let them use torture. They are all sensible people, and the way to extract confessions is meaningless. I am a scholar, and I still understand the way of forgiveness taught by saints." Cen Wenwen After finishing speaking, he looked at the cook with embarrassing eyes.

The cook glanced at Cen Wenwen, met Cen Wenwen's eyes, moved his lips or lowered his head.

"Don't think about yourself, but also think about your family. If the old man guessed correctly, your family is in danger. It is even very likely that you have been taken away by the prince's people. If you tell the old man what you want to know earlier , the old man will send someone to arrange for your family. You know, the only one who dares to fight against the prince's people in Chang'an City is Wei Wangfu.

Also, the old man can decide to give you a sum of money.Send someone to take you out of Chang'an City, as for where to go in the future.That depends on your wishes, from now on, you still don't want to come back to Chang'an City.Of course, if you are willing to do things for Wei Wangfu, the old man will naturally welcome you.This old man in Wei Wang's mansion can still speak well, so it's not impossible to let you be a steward. "

After Cen Wenwen finished speaking, he closed his eyes. Now that the conditions have been thrown out, there is no need to say too much.If you talk too much, it will backfire.

The cook tightly closed his mouth, afraid that words would come out of his mouth when he opened his mouth.

"Here...! Give me a bowl of water!" The cook felt that his throat was so dry that it was about to burst into flames.

"Give him a bowl of water!" Cen Wenwen gestured to the guards.Soon the guard brought a bowl of water over, and the cook took the water and poured it down in one gulp.

It's a good thing to be able to speak, Cen Wenwen knew that the chef was currently engaged in a battle between heaven and man.Just let him suffer for a while, Cen Wenwen believes that he will make the right choice.Even if the choice is not correct, the guards of Wei Wangfu are willing to help him.These guys have never been good men and women, and it would be nothing but nonsense if they were not punished.Of course, if the cook has said everything now, there is no need to use torture.

Veins popped up on the chef's head, and dense beads of sweat oozed from his skin.Soon, there was a stream of sweat on his face.As if to cheer himself up, the cook took a deep breath and said, "I say!"

"Hmm!" Cen Wenwen still didn't open his eyes, leaning back on the chair.Close your eyes and rest your mind, cross your hands on your lap, and keep circling your two index fingers.

"The villain is an undercover agent of the Yufu sent by the Eastern Palace. It has been... for seven or eight years. The Eastern Palace has not given the villain instructions until last night. He Zhu, the chief servant of the Eastern Palace, found the villain and asked the villain to take a pack of medicine powder. Put it in Master Yu's decoction. He also said that I will go to the East Palace to report after putting in the powder. From now on, I don't need to be a cook anymore, the prince will cook it for me.

Then...then, the villain...the villain found a chance, distracted the maid who was making the medicine, and secretly put the packet of medicine powder into Master Yu's soup.In the middle of the night, the villain heard that Master Yu had an emergency and died.I heard Xiao Hong, a maid who was waiting beside me, said that when the master died, bleeding from the seven orifices was terrifying.Only then did the villain know that it was the villain who poisoned Master Yu to death.

The villain was very scared, so he didn't escape through the back door as agreed in advance.I didn't expect...I didn't expect to be arrested by you! "The cook stammered and narrated what happened.

Cen Wenwen still didn't open his eyes, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.Yu Zhining must have done something, otherwise the prince would not have done such a cruel thing to his loyal dog.What did Yu Zhining do?What kind of thing can make the prince do this.Cen Wenwen carefully thought about the recent events, but he couldn't figure out why the prince would do this.

"He Zhu didn't say why the prince wanted to kill Yu Zhining?" Cen Wenwen finally opened his eyes, looked at the cook and asked.

"The villain...the villain really doesn't know, the villain is just an obedient worker, and He Zhu wouldn't say this to the villain." The cook said with some embarrassment.

Cen Wenwen nodded, he believed the cook was telling the truth.To He Zhu, he was just an ant.Moreover, it is still an ant that is about to be killed.Cen Wenwen believes that doing it to officials is bullshit.Maybe if you're lucky, there may be an official at the King of Hades' place.

"Bring his family and do it carefully! The people in Yu's mansion must be looking for him too, don't let people know that you are from Wei Wang's mansion, understand!" Cen Wenwen ordered, and the guard next to him said loudly, "No! "

"Thank you, Mr. Taifu! Thank you, Mr. Taifu!" The cook was so excited that he was about to cry. If his family fell into the hands of Donggong, he would be a dead man and his family would be hurt.It fell into the hands of the people of Wei Wangfu, but there is still a glimmer of life.

"What the old man says always counts, but when I need your help...!" Cen Wenwen squinted at the cook!
"Up to the mountain of swords and down to the pan of oil, the villain will definitely die!" The cook knelt on the ground, his head banged with "bang" and "bang".

Cen Wenwen didn't care about him, and when he walked out of the arsenal, he was in a very happy mood.The East Palace is causing internal strife, and at the same time, there must be something related to the life and death of the prince.Although I don't know what this thing is, it is enough to know that there is such a thing.As long as you follow the vines, you will be able to touch the melon sooner or later.

The crown prince's dilapidated house has air leaks everywhere, and if you kick it, it will completely fall down.Now's your chance to kick it!

"Look carefully and don't let anyone touch him. Don't let anyone talk to him. This old man is very useful. If anything happens to him, you don't have to tell the old man, just kill yourself!" Cen Wenwen said coldly After saying that, the guard hurriedly said "No".

After clearing up his mood, Cen Wenwen ordered the carriage to be prepared.He was going to Yu Zhining's residence to pay condolences to this unlucky guy.At the same time, he also had a good chat with his two sons.Perhaps, they could be the ones who kicked the prince.
