Dark prison, Yin time.
When the torch was lit, there was a glimmer of light.
Wang Wen was brought to Yang Wuhui by an official from Dali Temple. At the same time, Wang Wen also had the black cloth covering his eyes taken off.
The sudden light coming from the black cloth caught Wang Wen off guard, and even felt dazzling.
It took a while for him to recover.
Then he saw Yang Wuhui and Xu Weizhou, looking at him with half-smiles.
Wang Wenqiang composed himself, looked at Yang Wuhui and asked, "What exactly are you going to do?"
Yang Wuhui replied calmly: "Let's talk about Gao Zhijie. I really want to know his origins and some of his past stories."
Silence, a long silence.
Yang Wuhui was not in a hurry, but Xu Weizhou looked at Yang Wuhui and calmed down when he saw that Yang Wuhui was silent.
After a long time, Wang Wen asked: "What can I get?"
Yang Wuhui thought for a while and gave the answer.
"You don't seem to be qualified to negotiate terms with me, but if what you say satisfies me, at least I will find a way to save your life!"
Wang Wen licked his lips and looked at Xu Weizhou.
"I want a drink of water!"
Yang Wuhui glanced at Xu Weizhou and said to Xu Weizhou: "Since he wants to drink water, then satisfy him!"
Xu Weizhou didn't say much to this, turned around and went out, directly carrying the kettle in.
Wang Wen took the kettle and poured it into his mouth.
Naturally, I also choked and coughed twice.
After drinking the water, his eyes became a little brighter.
He then looked at Yang Wuhui and Xu Weizhou and said: "Boss Gao is not called Gao Zhijie, and his surname is not even Gao. His surname is Zhe, and his name is Zhe Changli! He is a descendant of the Zhe family, but it seems that he has committed a crime in the Zhe family. What happened, so I was kicked out of the house, so I took my mother's surname. When I was in the Jiangnan area more than ten years ago, I opened a tea shop. When I met this person, I asked him to work as an accountant in my shop. Sir, now that I have a clear understanding of his basic background, I have taken him in after all.”
Yang Wuhui was a little surprised that he was from the Zhe family.
Then he continued to ask: "What happened next?"
Wang Wen continued: "He was very good during the years when he managed the accounting office for me. I also knew that my small temple could not keep him. As expected, he soon told me that someone opened a chamber of commerce and invited him He went to be the shopkeeper. I naturally agreed, and even though I was reluctant to let him go, I let him go. This chamber of commerce is now Wantong Trading Company."
When Yang Wuhui heard this, he asked again: "The person who asked him to be the shopkeeper is King Shu Zhao Zongyi?"
Wang Wen shook his head: "Maybe it's King Shu!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Weizhou was unhappy.
"What does it mean to be King Shu?"
Wang Wendao: "The reason why I say it may be King Shu is because King Shu is indeed the boss on the surface, but I have never seen King Shu come here in so many years, and Boss Gao often meets with a man wearing a cloak, but I don’t know who this person is, and I haven’t seen his true face clearly. What I can conclude is that this person is not King Shu.”
This is interesting.
Yang Wuhui asked again: "Then how did you stay with Gao Zhijie?"
Wang Wendao: "After Boss Gao left my tea shop, my tea shop business was actually not very good. Of course, this had nothing to do with Boss Gao and was purely a matter of my management. After more than a year, my tea shop was no longer in business. Facing the risk of bankruptcy. It was Boss Gao who came to me and said that his business was getting bigger and bigger and he needed to go to the capital for development. He asked me if I would like to go to the capital with him. I actually knew that he wanted to repay the kindness of taking him in, so I didn’t agree at first, after all, my tea shop hasn’t closed down yet.”
Xu Weizhou interjected: "Then how did you come to Bianjing, and how did you become Gao Zhijie's housekeeper?"
Wang Wen smiled bitterly: "Although I persisted, the tea shop still collapsed. At this time, Boss Gao had been in Beijing for almost half a year, and then he wrote to me and asked me if I would like to help him, so I agreed. It was just at the beginning I didn’t know that this was Shu Wang’s business, but I just thought that it was really remarkable that Boss Gao could make the business so big. I only learned about this situation after working at Wantong Trading Company for several years. But even though So, I almost never see Prince Shu come. But every month, we will take out a sum of money and send it to Prince Shu’s Mansion."
Yang Wuhui said: "In addition to transporting some basic goods, what kind of goods does Wantong Trading Company also transport?"
Wang Wen glanced at Yang Wuhui: "I don't quite understand what this means!"
Yang Wuhui said: "When my mentor was still alive, he once investigated Wantong Trading Company, but failed. My mentor believed that if Wantong Trading Company simply transported some goods, it would not be possible to become so big. So. My mentor suspected that Wantong Trading Company not only transported ordinary goods, but also illegal salt, iron ore, and even weapons to the border!"
"What?" Xu Weizhou looked in disbelief.
Then he added: "Isn't this collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?"
Yang Wuhui looked at Wang Wendao: "My mentor wanted to focus on the investigation, but he was framed and imprisoned. Although Emperor Renzong finally pardoned my mentor, my mentor knew that nothing could be done. Moreover, his family was also threatened. At that time, my mentor He is no longer like when he was young, doing things without considering any consequences, so he chose to retire and return home. However, this matter was not investigated clearly, which has always been his regret."
After Wang Wen heard this, he also understood Yang Wuhui's identity, Bao Gong's direct disciple.
But he was not surprised. He had long known that Bao Gong had a direct disciple, and even knew that he was in the capital, but he didn't know what he looked like.
Today, I have everything figured out.
I just didn't expect that I would be in a prisoner's position.
Yang Wuhui looked at Gu Jing Wubo's Wang Wen: "Now that things have come to an end, it's time for you to explain!"
Wang Wen shook his head: "There is no such thing. Even if there is, I don't know. Although I am Boss Gao's confidant, the person he trusts most is not me!"
Yang Wuhui and Xu Weizhou were both surprised that Wang Wen, as Gao Zhijie's housekeeper, was not the person he trusted the most.
Seeing their expressions, Wang Wen knew that these two people must not believe it.
So he said: "The one he trusts most is a Japanese. This Japanese is in another property owned by Boss Gao. He usually won't come to Wantong Trading Company. He will only come here unless there is something special. If you want to find someone, I can actually help him!"
Yang Wuhui said: "Are you talking about a dwarf?"
Wang Wen's expression fluctuated a little at this time: "Do you know him?"
Yang Wuhui said: "I know him, but not very familiar with him. But according to what you said, you also think that Gao Zhijie is hiding in Longyang Pavilion!"
Wang Wen was silent, but the expression on his face said everything.
Because he knew that others might not know whose property Longyang Pavilion belonged to, and as a disciple of Bao Gong, he would definitely be able to investigate it.
This is because Bao Gong's reputation is still very loud even after his death.
