A piece of paper was handed behind the screen.
After a while, another beautiful maid came out with it and handed it into Ji Wen's hand.
"Ji Wen, let's take a look too."
"Yes, Right Chancellor."
Ji Wen looked around and saw that there were maps of Daozheng and Changle squares drawn with a brush on it, briefly outlining the locations of sixteen households.
"This is where I guessed the hiding place of the dead men in the East Palace based on Wu Kangcheng's night patrol route." Xue Bai said: "The reaction of the East Palace proves that this picture is correct."
"Right Prime Minister." Ji Wen said: "There is no need to go to so much trouble. We will know after taking Wukang Cheng to the first trial."
"What if Jifa Cao can't be found out?" Xue Bai asked: "What if these dead soldiers are forced to die and the net is broken?"
"According to your wishes, do you think we can come here one by one? Do you think it's easy to mobilize the 16th Guards of Nanya?"
"I only know that Jifa Cao has been busy for a whole year. The corpses of those who died with the stick piled up like a mountain, but the power of the East Palace has not decreased but increased. And although I am not talented, I am almost getting the lifeline of the East Palace."
"you!"
At this moment, Cang Bi came to report again: "Alang, Guo Qianli is here."
"Let him in."
After a while, the clang of armor sounded.
"Guo Qianli, the Marquis of the Left Middle Guard of the Jinwu Guard, has seen the Right Prime Minister, and the Right Prime Minister is in good health!"
"Guo Qianli, I want to ask you this. After you and Xue Bai inspected Daozheng and Changle Second House the night before, did you follow Xue Bai's instructions and send people to secretly watch more than ten houses?"
"have!"
Guo Qianli responded loudly and said: "Right Prime Minister, Mr. Xue Xiaolang is very careful in his work. General Xue Xiaolang doesn't see anything strange at all. Mr. Xue Xiaolang must check it again."
"Up to this point, have you seen any suspicious people leaving these ten or so houses?"
"No, the princes are all watching, and even a fly can't fly out of these houses!"
After saying that, Guo Qianli cupped his hands and asked: "Right Prime Minister, will the general lead troops to search?!"
Li Linfu was silent for a while.
The prime minister passed the minister's instructions and sent out ten men, ten horses, and ten weapons to the Nanya Sixteen Guards. There was no need to wait for the sage's edict.
Before, Li Linfu directly mobilized more than twenty right Xiaowei to go out of the city to capture Jiang Mao and Jiang Hai, but he did not expect that they could kill several Youxiao guards, which really gave him a shock.
What they wanted to arrest this time were a dozen or even dozens of fierce veterans, and I feared that hundreds of people would have to be mobilized.
Of course there are ways to do it with the power of the Right Prime Minister, but we cannot allow hundreds of soldiers to break into official residences in Chang'an City at will. It would be too easy for them to be accused of treason.
At least the news should be accurate.
In the end, he couldn't muster the courage to search Chang'an.
"Guo Qianli, your people will continue to keep an eye on these two buildings."
"Here."
"Ji Wen and Xue Bai, you two will investigate and use all methods to get accurate information about the truth!"
Ji Wen quickly saluted and asked: "Right Prime Minister, can you hand over Wu Kangcheng to Ji Wen?"
"The truth said, use all means."
"Here."
Ji Wen was overjoyed and responded quickly.
"Xue Bai."
"exist."
"Get this matter done as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you to change your story."
"We must live up to the expectations of the right prime minister."
Ji Wen watched with cold eyes, feeling mixed in his heart.
If Xue Bai can handle this matter well, he will rise to the top in one step and become the son-in-law of the Prime Minister. But at the same time, the right prime minister did not forget Ji Wen and beat Xue Bai to cooperate with him.
This is to urge them to bite the prince to death.
~~
The front yard of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xin Twelve bent down, hurriedly met Ji Wen, and called: "Alang."
A burst of stench hit his nose, and Ji Wen grabbed Xin Twelve's collar.
"Have you found out the details of Xue Bai? Did you know that the right prime minister is planning to recruit him as his son-in-law? We have to find a way to prevent him from being reused by the right prime minister. Don't you feel that he doesn't like me?!"
"Yes, the villain doesn't like him either." Xin Twelve replied breathlessly.
"My eldest son has an extraordinary demeanor. He proposed marriage to the right prime minister several times, but he didn't agree. Instead, he fell in love with Xue Bai? I have been in the saddle for so many years, but in the end I am inferior to a little brat with unknown origins and a young boy?"
Due to the Du family's case, the two sides had a grudge. Ji Wen couldn't help but feel a little irritated as he could let Xue Bai win the favor of the right prime minister in front of him and climb up the ladder.
Xin Twelve breathed carefully and said, "Alang, the villain is a little strange."
"explain."
"How can anyone really lose their memory and still behave as usual? That Zhuzi refuses to tell himself his family, maybe he has something to hide?"
"Do you think I don't know? Why do you think the Right Prime Minister asked me to check his details?!" Ji Wen pointed to the heavy guards outside the door of the Right Prime Minister's residence, and lowered his voice and said: "The Right Prime Minister is worried that he is an enemy. Do you know that the Right Prime Minister How many enemies are there? I thought about it this way, so I thought Xue Bai would definitely accept the arrangement of the East Palace, but unexpectedly, he refused."
Xin Twelve took a piece of information handed over by Ji Wen and read it, saying, "He doesn't recognize it? There is no more prominent Xue family in Chang'an who has lost his son."
"I usually hide it deliberately, but today I said I want to find my biological parents."
"Alang, I have an idea." Xin Twelve said: "If we can't find it, how about we also arrange a life experience for him? If Dong Palace can do it, what can't Alang do?"
Ji Wen's eyes flashed and he began to think. Finally, he said, "Come here."
Xin Twelve was a little reluctant, but he still put his head over.
"There is indeed a family named Xue, whose family status is higher than that of Xue Rengui's descendants. The right prime minister confiscated his house and destroyed his family... You go and make arrangements."
"Alang's brilliant plan!"
Ji Wen smiled slightly and thought to himself that there was no need to check those bullshit files anymore.
It's more satisfying to do things your own way.
"Send the Yamen to me again to capture Wu Kangcheng. I want to interrogate him properly!"
~~
Xue Bai also left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Tian brothers immediately came forward to greet them.
"Xue Langjun, shall we go get those traitors?"
Jiao Nu snorted coldly and said, "It's good now, half of the credit has been taken away by others."
Li Linfu asked her to follow Xue Bai for the sake of the prince's death. If the matter was accomplished, she would also have contributed. However, she was obviously not happy with Ji Wen sharing the credit.
She understood that Dong Gong was wooing Xue Bai, so the right prime minister had to woo Xue Bai, which made the right prime minister unhappy.
"It doesn't matter." Xue Bai said: "It would be better to let Jifa Cao find out first, and then we and General Guo go to get the person."
"Heh, you are quite generous."
Tian Shengong hurriedly explained: "Xue Langjun is right. Those Longyou veterans are very tough. It would be good to find out."
Tian Shenyu curled her lips and disagreed with what her brother said.
Looking at Xue Bai's calm look, he had a premonition that he would meet those people again soon. This time, he would never let them escape again.
"Let's go." Xue Bai got on the horse and said, "Let's go to Daozhengfang again."
~~
"Where did Xue Bai go today?"
In Du's house, Du You's neighbor rarely called Du Wulang for a chat, but it was Xue Bai who asked.
"Why do you care about this?" Du Wulang was called over by his two sisters and had a long conversation. He asked in a somewhat tentative tone: "Did Grand Duke Bo's family send someone here again?"
"Bastard, it's not time for you to ask your father."
Du Wulang shrank his neck and responded: "Yes, Xue Bai went to see the Right Prime Minister and said that if I am free at noon, I can go to Qingmen with him for lunch."
"Qingmen?"
"Yes, there is a restaurant in Qingmen that cooks really well."
"Where?"
"Daozhengfang." Du Wulang said, "At the north gate of the square, facing Chunlinmen Street, there is Wangjia Restaurant, which is a famous restaurant in Chang'an."
He looked around and saw that Du Youlin's expression did not change and he just nodded.
"Well, my father knows, let's go."
As if Du Wulang had been pardoned, he immediately left the study, walked around the small bamboo garden, and ran to the east side hall.
But he saw Du Jin sitting there drinking tea.
"Second sister." Du Wulang said: "Master really asked me, should I go to Qingmen to find Xue Bai now?"
"There's no rush." Du Jin put down the tea cup and said, "Wait for me here."
Du Wulang was a little uneasy and asked, "Are you really going? You're not afraid of offending my grandpa."
Du Jin smiled slightly and said, "Have I mentioned his own future to you?"
"Then of course he won't mention it to me."
"Not only will he not mention it to you, he will not mention it to Grandpa Bo. If I don't advise him, will our family contribute to Grandpa Bo in vain and only drink from the northwest wind in the future?"
"oh."
Du Wulang scratched his head and said, "Then I'll wait for you?"
Du Jin nodded and sat for a while before heading to the study.
Quan Rui was standing guard on the steps.
"Second mother."
Du Jin asked, "Why did Wulang faint in the courtyard?"
Quan Rui was startled and hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Du Jin calmly walked to the study door and pushed it open.
"Hey, Er Niang, you..."
In the study, the two people who were sitting across from each other and talking turned their heads with cold eyes.
Du Jin was not afraid of them, and gracefully made a Wanfu salute and said, "Master, you are confused."
…
Du Wulang glanced out of the side hall uneasily and saw Quan Rui running towards the study in a hurry and falling.
He became more and more uneasy, thinking that the second sister still thought that she was the crown prince Liangdi. She was afraid that she would get into trouble this time, and she didn't know whether she would be beaten by her grandpa.
But after a while, Du Jin walked by calmly.
"Second sister, are you angry?"
Du Jin smiled, handed an object to Du Wulang's hand, and said, "Go ahead."
"oh."
Du Wulang glanced in the direction of the study again, but saw no one chasing him out, so he hurried to the stable, picked a horse, and rode to Qingmen Winery.
However, he did not notice that the Wuhous in Shengpingfang patrolling the streets today were all staring in the direction of Du's house.
"Remember, Du Wulang left Du's house half an hour after Du Hope sent someone to meet Du Youlin..."
~~
Daozhengfang, Wang Welding's villa.
"Come and see."
"What's the matter?"
"That kid is here again."
Jiang Hai frowned and climbed up the small building. He saw several people holding horses and standing in the alley leading to the house, looking over here. It was Xue Bai. In addition to a maidservant behind him, there were also two right Xiao guards.
"Is it him?" The speaker was a big man named Tuoba Mao, who said sinisterly: "I think it was him. I buried him alive with my own hands."
"Well, he knows we're here?"
"If he could confirm it, the traitor would have taken action long ago. I guess he has suspicions and will take action after finding out more."
"Then we're going to prepare for a big killing spree."
"Don't worry, wait for the order. It said there is a way to stop this kid from investigating."
Tuoba Mao turned his head and looked in the other direction, suddenly frowned, and hurried down the small building.
At this time, Xue Bai was still in the alley to the east of the house, but there was a visitor at the side door to the west.
"Sir, why are you here at this time?" Tuoba Mao hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him in, saying, "The traitor is still watching."
"It doesn't matter, I'm keeping an eye on him too." The visitor said calmly, "The situation has changed. Wu Kangcheng has been captured. You must leave Chang'an immediately."
