【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Wei Yanei was confused and didn't know why: "Yuan Zhongxin, what are you thinking? What good does it do for you to anger Chang Yi?"

Yuan Zhongxin smacked his lips: "It's really not good for me, but it's very helpful for investigating the case."

Zhao Jian frowned: "Chang Yi will suddenly wake up because of our attitude, and go back to revoke the sentence of the imperial army?"

Yuan Zhongxin put down the spoon, and glanced at her: "What are you thinking, that guy Chang Yi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the people behind him are even more so."

The three of them were dumbfounded, and said in unison: "Is there someone behind Chang Yi?"

Yuan Zhongxin snorted disdainfully, and when he mentioned the high-spirited Chang Yi just now, he became angry: "Chang Yi is at the same level as Liang Zhu, and also belongs to the Imperial Army. Why is it that Chang Yi has the right to judge privately while Liang Zhu Is there any bamboo?"

Xiao Jing frowned slightly and said, "Because Liang Dutou did not participate in the arrest of Brother An."

Zhao Jian understood this time, she shook her head and said: "That's not the case, no matter whether Liang Zhu participates or not, the Imperial Army does not have the right to judge privately, even if they lead countless soldiers of the Imperial Army behind them, they can convict criminals Only the government is responsible, the Kaifeng government did not thoroughly investigate the case because the forbidden army suppressed the matter, if so, where did An Lijiu come from to execute the sentence?"

Wang Kuan said lightly: "Not only that, Chang Yi came to inform this time, but he didn't have an official letter on him, which further proves that the Imperial Army has concealed a lot about Anlijiu, just to get Anlijiu in the dark as soon as possible. Solve it - Chang Yi and the others are so impatient, there must be something wrong."

Wei Yanei speculated, "Chang Yi is just a small boss. He did this because someone ordered him to do it. Now that Chang Yi has been angered by you, he will definitely go back and complain to his superiors. Who would want to punish you at that time?" Whoever is behind the scenes to deal with Brother An."

Yuan Zhongxin bent his eyes, pretending to be gratified and smiled and said: "It's ok, Wei Yanei, I finally started to use my brain."

Wei Yanei grinned at Yuan Zhongxin, pretending to be fierce.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered slightly: "And I suspect that the appearance of Wushisan mixed with red azaleas in the border defense this time has something to do with the imperial court."

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were all terrified. They all knew that Yuan Zhongxin's words were not only related to Wushi San, but also implied that there were dissidents in the Song court.

Yuan Zhongxin stared at the porcelain bowl in front of him with an unfathomable expression, and said lightly: "From the very beginning, I wondered when the transportation line of medical supplies for border defense fell to such a careless state, and every box of medicine was delivered to the military camp. Before stationing in the area, you must accept a three-layer inspection by a professional military doctor, the first layer, the outer box, the second layer, unpacking, the third layer, and the inner box-it is not good for military doctors to distinguish Wushi powder mixed with rhododendrons. It’s difficult, the abnormality should have been noticed during the inspection on the second floor, but it was not found on the third floor, and it was not found out until it was sent to the barracks.”

This is the case, if you still say that there is no internal problem in Song Dynasty, Yuan Zhongxin will not believe it even if he is beaten to death.

Xiaojing's face was full of sadness, and she murmured in disbelief: "So we are hostile to our own people?"

Not only that, this, or should I say this group of "insiders" are still hiding in the dark, and I don't know if Yuan Zhongxin's actions can force him out.

Because of this discussion, the atmosphere among the five people suddenly became quite dull and depressed. Yuan Zhongxin changed the subject and said, "By the way, I haven't seen Xue Ying for so long, what about others?"

As soon as Xue Ying was mentioned, Wei Yanei remembered Yuan Zhongxin's request before leaving the house this morning, and he said: "You have left not long ago today, and we really saw a figure hiding at the corner of the street, secretly looking at the secret. the gate of the pavilion."

The expressions of the four people were slightly cold, and Yuan Zhongxin asked, "Who is it?"

Wei Yanei said hesitantly: "Yuan Zhongxin, did you misunderstand the person? I recognize that person. He is an actor from the theater called Xiyuan on the side of Wuyi Lane. It seems to be Su Yi—so Xue Ying followed up alone, and I will stay in the secret pavilion and wait for you to come back." Not long after that, that unlucky Chang Yi came.

an actor?

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know her?"

Wei Yanei laughed a few times and said in embarrassment: "I used to like to play around. Once I passed by and heard her singing by accident. I thought it was very interesting. I went there for several days. I wanted to be with her. I said a few words, but she ignored me, and then I felt that I was not addicted, so I didn't go again—but it's strange, my father disliked me going to wind and rain places the most, but that Xiyuan, I went At the time, he had no opinion."

Zhao Jian glanced at him contemptuously: "Fortunately, Xue Ying is not here, otherwise you would be miserable."

Wei Yanei tugged at Zhao Jian's sleeve pitifully, and begged, "Then help me out, don't tell Xue Ying—the task is urgent now, you don't want me to be distracted and take care of housework?"

Zhao Jian rolled his eyes at him, deeply feeling that Wei Yanei was shameless.

Wang Kuan said: "No matter who she is, it can no longer be explained by coincidence that she has appeared at the door of the secret pavilion several times. It is better for us to meet her."

Yuan Zhongxin pursed his lips and smiled, and suggested: "Then, let's do it tonight."

Zhao Jian asked in surprise, "Aren't you going?" She still remembered that Lu Guannian was going to talk to Yuan Zhongxin tonight.

Yuan Zhongxin shrugged: "The soldiers are divided into two groups to improve efficiency."

Wang Kuan looked at Yuan Zhongxin with a confused expression, and said calmly: "Just do as he said, divide the troops into two groups, if it is true as Chang Yi said, we don't have much time left."

Wang Kuan's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, including Yuan Zhongxin, who stared blankly at Wang Kuan with his eyes wide open.

Wang Kuan looked back with a half-smile and said, "Why, you don't want to?"

Yuan Zhongxin hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

After everyone discussed, Xue Ying came back, and the five immediately pulled him to sit down and asked, "How is it, Miss Suyi, is there anything unusual?"

Xue Ying shook her head and replied: "No, I followed for more than an hour. After returning to Xiyuan, I put on makeup there, and then I sang opera. I really didn't know how to appreciate it, so I came back—by the way, Lin Liang thought about it outside. He came in to look for us, but was stopped by the guard again."

Wei Yanei asked in surprise, "Then why didn't you bring him in?"

Xue Ying was stunned: "I forgot."

Five people:"......"

This kid is not listening to the play, is he dumbfounded?

Xiaojing went to bring Lin Liang in, and as soon as he entered Qizhai, he hurriedly asked: "How is it, did you find any breakthrough in Brother An's case?"

Yuan Zhongxin had instructed in advance not to tell Lin Liang that An Lijiu was convicted and sentenced to death, otherwise this fool would really be able to collide with the forbidden army.

In order to avoid accidents, everyone only told him that a woman who may be related to An Lijiu was found, but because the case of Anlijiu is special, everything else must be kept secret, and it is inconvenient to tell others too much.

Hearing this, although Lin Liang was still downcast and worried, he also understood Yuan Zhongxin's difficulties, and said a few words, "If you need help with anything, you must come to me", and then left the secret pavilion.

Looking at the back of Lin Liang leaving, Xiao Jing suddenly felt uneasy and panic in her heart. She frowned, her eyes full of worry: "If we really can't rescue Brother An within four days, Brother Lin will be so sad ah."

Zhao Jian looked at her sideways, raised his hand to gently stroke Xiaojing's hair, and comforted him: "No, as long as the six of us work together, we can definitely rescue Brother An."

Xiao Jing raised his eyes to meet Zhao Jian's firm gaze, smiled and nodded.

The night was getting darker. After Yuan Zhongxin finished his meal and sent Wang Kuan and others out of the secret pavilion, he returned to Lu Guannian's study, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and opened the door without waiting for a response. The next second, he stunned.

In the study, not only Lu Guannian was there, but also an unexpected acquaintance Yuan Zhongxin had.

But in terms of familiarity, it's hard to justify, because Yuan Zhongxin has only met this person a few times.
