Xie Yuan already had concerns in his mind at this time.
For this scarred man, if he still needs to be used, then he must be used to the maximum extent. If he cannot be used, then he has to disappear.
Xie Xiuwen looked at the words he had just finished writing, and unconsciously thought of the teachings given to him by his previous teacher.
A small leak will sink a great ship!
Xie Xiuwen took a deep breath. If it was just against him in the court, he could endure no matter how serious the grievance was. But if the other party actually targeted his precious daughter, he couldn't bear it anymore!
Fang Hu stood aside without saying a word after entering.
After Xie Xiuwen thought for a while, he finally made a decision in his mind: "Send the news to the Wang Ting family. Remember, it is best to do it casually and not make people suspicious."
"Don't worry, our servant was originally bribed by the Wang family, but now it's just a trick."
Xie Xiuwen smiled and said: "If this matter goes well, I will give that second son another job and give him a monthly salary increase."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Wang Ting is a disciple of Mr. Zheng Ge, and is a sworn enemy of Mr. Qin Ge and Xie Huaiyi.
Two years ago, Wang Ting arranged for someone to deliberately bribe the servants of the Xie Mansion, but it never happened. Until last year, a young steward of the Wang family, named Wang Mazi, accidentally learned that a boy from the Xie Mansion was from the same hometown. This is how the relationship started.
That fellow countryman was the second baby that Xie Xiuwen mentioned just now.
Over the past year or so, Erwa has often told Wang Mazi some things about the Xie family, such as the quarrels between the eldest young lady and the eldest young master, or the mistresses between the young lady and the Marquis or Duke Dingguo. What kind of interactions did they have, what kind of things did they give each other, etc.
It may seem like a trivial matter, but after Wang Ting got this information, he was able to determine the relationship between the two families, and he was also able to confirm that Xie Rongzhao was indeed quite favored in the Xie family.
Especially before getting married, Wang Ting got part of Xie Rongzhao's dowry list. When he saw this, Wang Ting took a breath. He didn't expect Xie Xiuwen to be so generous, let alone that he doted on his daughter so much.
This may involve most of the Xie family.
However, neither of the two sons of the Xie family expressed any objection, which shows how favored Xie Rongzhao is in the Xie family.
Later, when the Xie family showed off their dowry, Wang Ting discovered that some of the dowry orders he had received earlier were accurate, and he recognized his subordinate Wang Mazi's ability to do things even more.
In this way, he was encouraged to have more contact with Erwa so as to get more information.
Xie Xiuwen finally understood the trick of putting a long line to catch big fish.
When it comes to fishing for big fish with a long line, the important thing is not how long the line is, but how big of a fish you catch!
What Xie Xiuwen wanted to catch was naturally the big fish Wang Ting.
Although Wang Ting's official position is not obvious, he holds real power. The most important thing is that he is a disciple of Mr. Zheng Ge. If something happens to him, the first thing everyone will think of is whether Mr. Zheng Ge will be implicated.
Because Xie Xiuwen advocated opening up border trade, he had offended Mr. Zheng Ge. Since then, Mr. Zheng Ge had not treated him as well as before in the court, and even tripped him up a few times.
Wang Qinshan is better off. After all, he and Xu Yuanqing are junior brothers, and his son and Xie Xiuwen are classmates, so the performance is not so obvious.
Xie Xiuwen is in the officialdom, so he naturally knows the key to this. He will naturally not stupidly take the initiative to offend others, but this does not prevent him from seeking a small revenge.
Wang Mazi took the initiative to find Erwa, just to get some more information out.
After Erwa drank several glasses of wine, his tongue became a bit big and he spit out everything he should say and shouldn't.
Wang Mazi was secretly proud. He didn't expect that such a big news could be revealed this time.
When Wang Ting learned about it, he was naturally shocked.
"Are you serious?"
"Back to the master, I asked again and again. The second kid said he had a nose and eyes. He also said that Lord Xie sent him to guard outside the city gate at that time. He indeed saw Lord Xie Yuan leaving the city, and When I came back, it was clear that I was still in a good state of mind."
"Where did Xie Yuan go out of the city?"
"It seems to be Baihe Academy."
Wang Ting immediately had an idea and ordered people to investigate immediately, focusing on whether there was Xie Yuan's property near Baihe Academy.
Wang Ting is so smart. He thought that the capital was in turmoil at this time. Who wouldn't be smart enough to go out of the city to look for trouble at this time?
Xie Yuan left the city at this time, there must be another reason.
However, Xie Xiuwen usually seems to be quite shrewd, but this time his thinking is too simple. He only knows to guard at the city gate to see if the scarred man comes in and out of the city gate, but he doesn't know if the scarred man is there. There is an alliance in the capital.
Wang Ting felt proud that he could catch Xie Yuan this time. He couldn't believe that Xie Huaiyi would not bow his head this time!
There is no need for Xie Xiuwen to reveal too much, Wang Ting went to investigate on his own.
Some people are like this. If they really revealed everything, they might not believe it.
But if only a clue is revealed, the fact he found out by himself will be the truth he believes, and he will feel that he is extremely smart.
Obviously, Wang Ting is such a person.
Within two days, the scarred man was caught by Jing Zhaoyin when he met with Xie Yuan for discussion.
Scar Man's first reaction was that Xie Yuan had betrayed him.
"Are you treacherous?"
Xie Yuan was also frightened, but at this time he also realized that if the scarred man was caught, he would definitely be the unlucky one!
"How is that possible? Come on, you are holding me hostage. I am an official of the imperial court. They don't dare to do anything to me."
The scarred man looked suspicious, but seeing the officers and soldiers surrounding him step by step, it was naturally impossible for him to just surrender.
Especially when he saw one of his confidants died tragically at the hands of officers and soldiers, he didn't care much and just kidnapped the person. Anyway, if Xie Yuan betrayed him, it would be a one-shot death, which would be considered a reward. The brothers took revenge.
Jing Zhaoyin did not expect that the suspect would directly hold Xie Yuan hostage. Although he did not have any proof, he was sure that the two were talking before. Who knows if they were allies?
Of course, I can only think about this, not say it.
"Bold thief, if you don't put down your weapons quickly, you dare to hold an official of the imperial court hostage. Do you know that it is a capital crime?"
"Hmph, even if I let him go, you won't let me go. It doesn't matter if I die, you have to have someone to support you no matter what."
The man with the scar was also cruel. The blade pressed against Xie Yuan's neck, and a line of blood came out.
Xie Yuan was frightened and scared at this time, and his legs were trembling.
"Don't mess around. You can escape while I'm alive. If I die, you won't be able to live well."
These words did not threaten the scarred man. His mind was in confusion right now, and he couldn't even figure out whether everyone in the scene was against him.
"Stand back! If you dare to take a step forward again, I will cut his throat immediately!"
