He Zhenfu looked up to the sky and howled.
Yao Yao laughed silently.
Han Changmu continued seriously: "Yao Canjun, your drug is very useful. Give some to Mr. He Qi."
Yao Yao's expression changed, and he hurriedly covered his bag tightly: "No, I don't have one. What drug did I bring to the Tribute Courtyard? Your Excellency, you are overthinking it."
Han Changmu stared at Yao Yao, his eyes darkened, and he smiled nonchalantly: "Really?"
Meng Suige and He Zhenfu also stared at Yao Yao, with the words disbelief written all over their faces.
Yao Yao was stared at by the three men, Han Changmu, and his scalp was numb. After struggling for a long time, he finally gave in and sighed: "Okay, okay, I am really defeated by you. I have it. I have it."
She had a look of reluctance on her face, and while muttering to herself, she took out a small porcelain bottle about an inch tall from a bamboo green pouch.
She raised her eyes and looked at He Zhenfu: "Pajama."
He Zhenfu quickly took out a moon-white handkerchief embroidered with dendrobium and spread it on his hand.
Yao Yao took one look and smiled: "My wife's needlework is really good."
He Zhenfu's face turned red unexpectedly, and he started to squirm: "Yes, yes, oh, hurry up."
Yao Yao chuckled, uncorked the bottle, shook his wrist lightly, and poured some gray powder onto the handkerchief.
After pouring it twice, she said "Oops": "I poured too much. I poured too much." As she said that, she began to draw the powder into the mouth of the bottle.
Seeing this, He Zhenfu quickly wrapped up the handkerchief and joked: "What a treasure, you look so stingy."
Yao Yao exclaimed and said: "This drug is very expensive. I ask you to drink up half the bottle at once, so you can save some."
He Zhenfu couldn't stop laughing: "I know, I know, nagging."
Yao Yao pouted: "Do you know how to use it?"
He Zhenfu snorted: "I'm not Meng Suigai, I'm not stupid."
Meng Suige was in the middle of watching a play, but when he heard what He Zhenfu said, he immediately exploded and said unconvinced: "What's wrong with me? Why am I stupid? I'm addicted to drugs. Isn't it just like incense?" "
Yao Yao and He Zhenfu nodded in unison: "Yes, yes, you are right, you are not stupid at all."
Han Changmu smiled and said, "Mr. He Qi, we will take action tonight."
He Zhenfu suppressed his smile, nodded in agreement, and continued: "As for Wang Cong, he did not reveal anything particularly useful. He only said that someone paid him to go to the tribute courtyard to steal a belt, and then gave it to Yu Qing. , he disguised himself as Li Jie and sneaked into the Gongyuan, and the bamboo whistle belonged to his youngest son."
Han Changmu asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news from Mr. Cheng Qi?"
He Zhenfu shook his head: "Not yet. Wang Cong explained that Li Jie was not controlled by him, and he didn't know exactly where he was hiding. He just had a rough idea. The investigation was not very smooth."
Han Changmu hesitated: "What is the result of the trial between the imperial army and the scholars?"
He Zhenfu said: "They are all remnants of the Four Saints Sect. It's a pity that no one has seen the people behind the scenes."
This was something that was expected. Han Changmu was not surprised. He concentrated for a moment and said: "Now the only place left in the Gongyuan to deliver news to the outside world is the kitchen. After Commander Jin arrived, he also re-inspected the Forbidden Army. After screening, there won't be any problems for the time being. Mr. He will call out all the internal guards in the kitchen to give the people in the kitchen a chance to breathe."
He Zhenfu understood it.
After saying these things, everyone left. Han Changmu suddenly stopped Yao Yao: "Yao Canjun is staying."
Meng Suige and He Zhenfu both gave Yao Yao a wishing look.
Yao Yao closed his eyes and sighed desperately: "Sir, are you thinking about something about your superiors and subordinates again?"
Han Changmu reached out and tapped the bed opposite him: "Sit down and talk."
Yao Yao suddenly felt something was wrong, moved his legs, and said angrily: "Better, stand and talk."
Han Changmu pursed his lips: "The internal guards in the kitchen have been withdrawn, so I'll have to keep an eye on that place from now on."
Yao Yao breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty. He smiled and said, "I'm scared to death. Just because of this, I must be keeping an eye on the kitchen."
After everything was arranged, Han Changmu showed a relaxed smile and glanced at Yao Yao up and down: "Don't be afraid, except for you, I don't care about anything."
These words were like a thunderbolt that struck Yao Yao on the head. She was stunned for a moment. She even forgot to salute and ran away, almost as if she was running away.
Han Changmu looked at the frightened figure, his lips pursed slightly, revealing a soft smile.
It rained in the middle of the afternoon, and the fine raindrops fell on my body, with a slight sting in the coldness.
The rain was not heavy, but it was raining rapidly. When it stopped, there were puddles in the alleyway, reflecting the figures of the patrolling Imperial Guards.
The water light projected onto the blade, and the cold light was even sharper than before.
He Zhenfu got Cheng Chaoyan's letter and hurried upstairs to report back.
"My lord, my lord, we succeeded. Mr. Cheng Qi passed the news. The families of Wang Cong and Li Jie were rescued. Several remnants of the Four Saints Sect were captured on the spot. This is a confession." He Zhenfu was very excited, He handed the confession to Han Changmu.
Han Changmu read everything at a glance, with a calm expression on his face. He neatly folded the confessions and said to He Zhenfu, "Let's go. I will go meet Wang Cong in person."
Wang Cong was a man of great ability and had the highest official position among those involved in the case. He also knew a lot of secrets, so he was detained alone in a room on the third floor.
There were big locks on the doors and windows, and there were guards guarding the door.
In order to prevent Wang Cong from committing suicide, everything with sharp corners was removed from the room, and a certain amount of Ruanjisan was added to his daily meals, which can make his hands and feet weak while his mind is clear. He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to bite his tongue and kill himself.
There is only one disadvantage of using this Ruanjin Powder, which is that people can only lie down, eat, drink, defecate and sleep, and have to be cared for.
On this day, Wang Cong suffered all the insults he had never experienced in half his life. When he heard the door knock, he turned his head with all his strength. When he saw Han Changmu walking in, he cursed angrily.
"You, despicable person, shameless person, kill me if you have the guts to humiliate me like this, how can you be considered a hero?"
Han Changmu said nonchalantly: "Are there any methods that can be used against criminals like you?"
Wang Cong was speechless, but he still held his neck, and his chest heaved violently with anger.
Han Changmu lifted up his clothes, sat down in front of Wang Cong, took out the confession, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Wang Cong: "Let's take a look."
Wang Cong read it word by word and said in astonishment: "Did you rescue this person?"
Han Changmu slowly folded up the confession: "Didn't you see everything?"
Wang Cong sneered: "You people from the Internal Security Department are so scheming, how do I know if this confession is forged?"
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows, took a pendant bag, and waved it in front of Wang Cong's eyes: "You don't recognize the things on your wife's body, do you?"
Wang Cong's eyes suddenly lit up. Naturally, he was very clear about his wife's craftsmanship. After seeing this thing, his heart that had been hanging high for several days finally settled down. He gritted his teeth and said, "You really did it." ."
Han Changmu said calmly: "I have done it, so what is it you should do?"
Wang Cong rolled his eyes and said, "I, I have said everything I know, and there is nothing more to say."
Han Changmu's eyes flashed. He didn't believe Wang Cong's lies, but he didn't care. What he wanted was never the truth from Wang Cong's mouth.
He stared at Wang Cong and spoke slowly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know anything, as long as you know how to do it."
Wang Cong swallowed subconsciously: "You, you, what do you want me to do?"
Han Changmu said: "You can continue to be the head of your Ministry of War Department, and I can smooth over Li Jie's matter, but you must be used by me in the future."
Wang Cong narrowed his eyes and laughed twice: "Master Han is very scheming, but such a calculation is not enough for the head of the Department of War."
After a moment of silence, Han Changmu suddenly smiled: "Li Jie is already over fifty. He will be serving as an official in less than two years. Two years is enough for me to see a person clearly."
Wang Cong thought about it for a long time before making up his mind: "Okay, I promise you."
Han Changmu nodded and asked expressionlessly: "You don't need to discuss it with your elder brother Yuan Zhengrong anymore?"
Wang Cong, who had been calm for a long time, finally changed his expression. He murmured at the corner of his lips for a long time before exclaiming in shock: "You, you, how did you know?"
Han Changmu smiled enigmatically: "You should know that as long as the Internal Security Department wants to know something, there is nothing to hide."
Wang Cong took a few deep breaths to calm down, and looked directly into Han Changmu's eyes: "Since you know this, you know very well that I will definitely send a message to my brother. I have nothing to hide. Brother."
Han Changmu was not surprised and said two simple words: "It's up to you."
Of course he would not stop Wang Cong from telling Yuan Zhengrong about this, and he would even push this person to go find Yuan Zhengrong as soon as possible.
Yuan Zhengrong was able to serve as the governor of a state. His mental strength and understanding of world affairs were not comparable to those of Wang Cong.
If Yuan Zhengrong knew about Xie Liangzhan's threat to Wang Cong and knew Xie Liangzhan's plan in Chang'an City, he would definitely make a right choice.
Han Changmu knew very well that Yuan Zhengrong belonged to the King of Qin. After this incident, this person had a handle in his hands. Yuan Zhengrong would have to think twice about any actions in the future and would not dare to make trouble at will. .
Wang Congding glanced at Han Changmu for a few seconds, but he didn't see any fake look on his face. It looked like he had just made a mutually beneficial deal with him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and planned to wait until he left the Gongyuan. Write to Yuan Zhengrong about everything that happened here and let him make an idea.
