Chapter 104 It's not too late

Yuwen Wen walked out of the room, and Zhou Faming came up to ask what the situation was. Yuwen Wen made such a big fuss in order to treat the injured person he met, so he naturally guessed that something was strange.

It is said that he shouldn't have been involved in such a thing, but Yuwen Wen took the initiative to ask him for help, so he turned disrespectful.

"I'm catching a big fish today!" Yu Wen Wen showed joy on his face, walked to the corner and briefly told the other party that Zhou Faming was his own person in Yecheng, so there were not so many taboos.

Zhou Faming was a little surprised to learn that this person was the assassin who assassinated Xi Sheng that day. The matter caused a lot of controversy, and it also involved Yuwen Wen, him and Tian Yilong. Now the government is eager to arrest people, but it was actually picked up by his side.

"Eunuch, this matter is quite a bit serious. What can I do to help?"

"In the past few days, you can arrange someone to help guard the yard and take care of that person's work, I have my own arrangements."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to stay here. The people in the Xifu are not blind and deaf."

"So my people set up ambush outside."

Zhou Faming was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he was still thinking about setting up a trap for others. He pondered for a moment and expressed his concern: "Eunuch, this place is not Shannan after all. If the Xifu secretly bribed many rangers to take action, we might not be able to withstand it."

Yuwen Wen asked if he had any good ideas. Zhou Faming suggested taking the man back to the envoy's residence. Although the envoy's residence usually only entertains officials and entourages, with the example of Taoist Master Liu, I don't think it would be too difficult for me to come to the envoy's residence.

"Master Liu was the suspect of the White Sunset Thunder at that time, and I was in charge of the custody of the envoy, so he was able to get a residence and then leave, and he had to report to the government. If this person goes in and lives, he will probably want to cover up the truth."

"Eunuch, if the Xifu really hears this, then he will definitely be suspicious of the envoy who will be in the envoy's residence, and behave in a state of turmoil while restless. Wouldn't there be more and more flaws?"

"If the Prime Minister knew about it, this righteous man might not be able to save his life. Sanlangjun would not have wondered what 'the overall situation is', right?"

"The overall situation is the most important thing? Could it be that this assassin...isn't it a detailed work of the Sui Kingdom?"

"It has something to do with the incident when I was in the Qiuguan Mansion last month." Yuwen Wen pointed until he was silent when Zhou Faming heard this.

The overall situation is the most important thing. This sentence is often heard in the officialdom. What is worldly justice and decision-making for the people are overshadowed in front of this sentence. Officials can do things that are unfairly unfairly against their conscience.

The extra land rent and labor force forced the people to destroy their families. It can be said that it was to resist foreign enemies to raise military funds to defend their families and the country, so that the people would "put the overall situation first"; the inclusion of various taxes in various forms also means that the court is in trouble, so that everyone would "put the overall situation first".

The powerful and evil servants are domineering and bullying the market, and do everything they can. The people who surround the evil people should make it clear. The government sends people to rescue the siege and asks the people to "put the overall situation first."

Yuwen Wen had already understood that the man rescued from Wild Horse Hill today was not only the suspect who assassinated Xi Sheng, but also involved Xi Sheng's murder of Yuwen Wen. Maybe he could find evidence that Xi Sheng was the real culprit behind the scenes from this person.

If the evidence is conclusive, then the court must bring Xi Sheng to justice, otherwise it will not be able to face Yuwen Wen's questioning. Not to mention anything else, just the intention to murder the royal family and the imperial court's official orders can make Xi Sheng die.

But if Xi Sheng was brought to justice, his father Xi Pilu would naturally not sit idly by. He might not have rebelled until he rebelled. He would probably have a bitter scene of asking for dismissal from his post and his title to save his son.

This matter involves the delicate political situation of the Zhou court. There cannot be any problems between the court and Shannan. Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong also needs to pay attention to his subordinates' feelings, so the best way is to turn big things into small things.

Anyway, Yuwen Wen is fine, and Xi Sheng was assassinated and seriously injured, so everyone should put the overall situation first.

Based on this kind of mixed official method, the assassin handed over to the government may have accidentally died of illness. The key witnesses are gone. At worst, they can take a few jailers out to push the jar, and the matter is exposed.

Zhou Faming was not a fool, and he quickly figured it out. Seeing that he figured out the key points, Yuwen Wen solemnly instructed: "In the past few days, you have to help your subordinates. It would be better to guard the yard for a few more people."

"No problem! It's just that this lonely city is hard to defend, and reinforcements need to support each other..."

"This matter is easy."

......

When he was in charge of the residence, Yuwen Wen threw his whip and got off the horse and walked into the gate. He did not take a car to prevent assassins from traveling today, so as to show the outside world that he "don't do bad things, and not be afraid of assassins coming." As soon as he arrived outside the yard where he was staying, he saw Zheng Tong greeting him.

"What, what's wrong? I'm nervous."

"Empress, that one is..."

"Well, I've settled, what's wrong?"

"Empress, this person has a sensitive identity and must be handled with caution."

Previously, a wounded person was rescued at Yemagang. Zheng Tong realized that the situation was wrong. The guard leader Zhang Dingfa performed abnormally, and Yuwen Wen's performance was also somewhat wrong. Overall, Zheng Tong realized that the injured person might be the person who assassinated Xi Sheng.

Only with this explanation can Zhang Dingfa and Yuwen Wen's performance be considered to be based. On the way back to the city, Yuwen Wen found an opportunity to tell Zheng Tong about his guess. After entering the city, Yuwen Wen personally settled the injured person, while Zheng Tong returned to the envoy's residence and began to think about this matter.

Yuwen Wen came to his room slowly and told the truth about what Ma Wu said just now. Zheng Tong pondered for a moment and said his suggestion: he should find Xi An (Ma Chongyang)'s body while the Xi Mansion had not come back to his senses.

According to Ma Wu, Xi'an is very likely to be killed in Wild Horse Hill, so the escort of Xi'an would be in a hurry to deal with his body, because there is an official road passing by Wild Horse Hill. If time delays too long, it will easily attract attention from passers-by.

But it is difficult to say it easily. First of all, Yemagang is just the crime scene they speculated. If not, the subsequent search work would be useless. Even if Xi An was killed there, it is hard to say where the corpse was hidden.

More than a month after the incident, Xi An's body has basically turned into bones. You need to know the clothes he is wearing, or the characteristics of pendants such as rings and jade pendants on his body, so that you can confirm whether the bones he found are Xi An.

However, even so, searching for remains in the huge Wild Horse Hill is probably like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The success rate is too low. It is better to report to the Prime Minister and go directly to Xi'an's house to capture the guard, and directly find Xi'an's body based on his confession. This is the most direct and effective.

After hearing this, Yuwen Wen asked directly: "Do you think the Prime Minister will agree?"

"That depends on whether the envoy's attitude is firm."

"Then what?"

"If Ma Wu said that, as long as he took down the guard, he would naturally have a way to know the whereabouts of Xi An's body."

"What is the last one? You don't think that everyone, physical evidence, will the Prime Minister bring Xi Sheng to justice."

"Encourt, how to do the prime minister is second. With evidence and physical evidence, the envoy can gain the upper hand." Zheng Tong answered simply.

"What about Ma Wu? In any case, if a servant kills the Lord, it will be a death sentence."

"The envoy wants to protect Ma Wu?"

"He is a fool. He was worried that stealing clothes from poor families would make the other party difficult to live." Yuwen Wen smiled and shook his head. He hated the servant who was carrying the master the most, but the specific situation must be analyzed in detail. People like Ma Wu are exceptions.

"Avenge your brother, so...so according to what the envoy said before, it should be a passionate killing?"

"If you take revenge or not, Ma Wu is a servant of the Xifu. It is a death sentence to dare to take the initiative to attack Lang. Unless Lang wants to rebel, regicide or something, public opinion will not tolerate it."

"The envoy, please forgive me for being a blunt and say that if you want to protect Ma Wu, you will be shameful and you will not be able to hold Xi Sheng responsible." Zheng Tong emphasized the interests, "What's more, even if you find Xi An's remains, it may not be proved that Xi Sheng ordered him to bribe the prisoner and wanted to attack the envoy."

"You are right. Just a bone can't explain anything. Xi An didn't tell the details of that incident to Ma Wu. If there was no other evidence, he would probably die without evidence. Even if the remains were found, the Xi Mansion could be said to be the guard who had resentment with Xi An and took the opportunity to kill him."

Zheng Tong glanced at Yuwen Wen. The other party thought it very carefully and thought of his worries, but he was still full of energy. Could it be...

"Empress, may you be alerting the snake?"

"How about it, without further ado, are you interested in consulting?"

......

In Xifu, there was a smell of herbal medicine in the backyard. A maid was cooking medicine under the eaves. She was lying on her back on the couch in the room. His empty eyes were staring at the top, as if he wanted to see through the roof.

Since being assassinated that day, Xi Sheng has only had this expression of unloving life except for the initial constant wailing.

A servant was helping him change the ointment applied to his body, take off the gauze and herbs, and gently wipe the abdomen and crotch with warm water, and then replace with new ointment and gauze.

Xi Sheng was kicked in the abdomen and crotch by a horse, his life was lost and his internal organs were injured. Fortunately, Li Yuyi's medical skills were superb, so he could save his life. Now it is the time to recover from the injury, and he must not miss the internal and external application of medicine.

The door opened, and a maid walked in with a bowl of medicine, lifted the curtain of shelter from the bed, and whispered, "Please take medicine by the Lord." The servant waiting beside her stepped forward and helped Xi Sheng sit up.

As the warm medicine was in her mouth, Xi Sheng frowned. His frown scared the maid and shivered. Xi Sheng had a bad temper. Everyone in the mansion knew that she often beat the person who made mistakes because of some trivial matters. She was afraid that the other party would suddenly make a fuss and she wanted to get whipped.

However, Xi Sheng did not get angry as worried. He slowly finished the medicine and finally lay down, and still looked at the roof motionless. If he hadn't been breathing, it would have made people think he was dead.

As soon as the maid left the door, a person hurried in. The man was the second housekeeper of Xifu. He came to the couch and asked quietly. Xi Sheng's eyes returned to his eyes when he heard it. He turned around and asked, "Have you caught Ximawu?"

"Langjun, there is no news from the government office yet, but the person sent by the Langzhu has arrived in Yecheng and said he was ordered to take the Langjun back to Xuzhou."

"I won't leave!" Xi Sheng gritted his teeth and spitted out these three words. Seeing this, the second housekeeper quickly persuaded: "Mr. Your husband has sent someone to Chen Qing to the Prime Minister. Now the Prime Minister has decided to send someone to escort your husband back to Xuzhou and ask your husband to go back and recuperate well. The Assassin will be the one who will stare at him."

"I won't leave! Xi Mawu was not caught. I want to stay in Yecheng and cook him alive!" Xi Sheng became excited and touched the wound and couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. The second housekeeper was so anxious that he quickly comforted:

"Mr. Langjun, if the prime minister is in charge, the ungrateful Xi Mawu will definitely not die well. Langjun must take care of his health. Langjun is not sure how sad it is when he knows this!"

"Take care, take care of me, I'm like this..." Xi Sheng couldn't continue talking later. He had just married for a year and had not left a child or a daughter. Now he is a useless person and will never have any relatives in his life.

As a man, it is even more a shame and humiliation to be able to play among the flowers.

"Langjun, Xi Mawu's whereabouts are unknown for the time being, but today I found a news that Yuwen Wen rescued a wounded person in Yemagang in the suburbs of the south of the city..."

"Why is that guy saving the injured person and me... Could it be that the injured person is Xi Mawu?!" Xi Sheng became excited again.

"The news from Qiu Guanfu is that the injured person is not Xi Mawu."

"Since that's the case, what does it have to do with me?"
