Eunuch Tong was taken down.

Lin Yunyan took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Jian.

A fine silk handkerchief, embroidered with two peonies, also smells of the spices she usually uses in her daily life.

Xu Jian did not answer, but wiped his hands with an old cloth lying on the table in the lobby.

Let the waiter's saliva stain the veil?

You can't be so wasteful.

Seeing this, Wantang was asking his men to bring some tea to soothe his throat. When he turned around and saw this scene, he didn't tighten his lips and smiled happily.

How else can we say that young couples are particular about it?

Not like an old married couple like him.

well!

After a hard night's work, my clothes were all covered in dust.

I will be talked about by my old wife again when I go back.

Wantang secretly shook his head and cleared his throat: "My lord, princess, it is a great reward to catch this person tonight. We have worked hard for so many days, and it has not been in vain."

To tell you the truth, I was worried earlier, because I was afraid that King Jin and his gang would have run away long ago and that none of us would be able to catch them.

Firstly, I can't get the job done, and secondly, I'm afraid they will come back.

Now, it’s considered an opening.”

"How can all this work be in vain?" Xu Jian said, "But the protagonist tonight is not him."

Wantang was stunned when he heard this.

What's the meaning?

Isn’t this eunuch a protagonist?

He was the one who mastered the poison recipe, and he was also the murderer who poisoned Prince Ding and the man in Yongji Palace.

Does it turn out to be just a supporting role?

So what is the origin of the protagonist? Could it be King Jin himself?

"Where is the protagonist?" Wantang rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Lao Wan will go with you to capture him!"

"Don't worry," Xu Jian said, "I just captured the three people who reported the news, they are the key."

Wantang half understood and half didn't understand, so he asked: "Can you bring me up a question?"

"Bring them together," Xu Jian said, "Let's see which one is smarter."

My men have gone to do some work.

Wantang has a long neck and so on.

Lin Yunyan stood next to Xu Jian, no one said anything, and she understood with just a few glances.

Not long ago, after receiving the note from Su Chang, she and Xu Jian felt a little weird.

For Eunuch Tong to stay in Beijing is an extremely abnormal thing.

As Lin Yunyan just said to Eunuch Tong, as a chamberlain, once he is arrested, he will have fewer opportunities to quibble than others.

Eunuch Tong seems to rarely show up, but he is actually not safe.

Su Chang definitely met him.

Judging from the previous formation, Li Du did not cut off his tail, but instead led the troubled waters to the east to protect Eunuch Tong. It can be seen that there is indeed a deep master-servant friendship.

But if he was so reluctant to part with Eunuch Tong, Li Du shouldn't leave him in the capital this time.

The number of manpower worthy of Li Du's complete trust is indeed tight, but it is not to the point where two or three more people cannot be found.

Therefore, Eunuch Tong's stay in Beijing has other meanings for Li Du.

Before the arrest, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian could not determine the meaning. After arresting two groups of people, they basically had a definite answer.

Father-in-law is not an abandoned child, but bait.

Of course, Eunuch Tong himself seemed to have no idea of ​​this. When he was provoked and questioned by Lin Yunyan, his reaction could not deceive anyone.

Eunuch Tong sincerely believed that he stayed here only because Li Du trusted him.

Lin Yunyan thought that they still had a friendship between master and servant.

Li Du protected Eunuch Tong when he was able to do so. At least he was much better than Dao Heng and Wang Qi.

But when Li Du couldn't protect himself and had to be cautious at every step, Eunuch Tong was abandoned, or in other words, used in exchange for more benefits.

Because Li Du's great cause of rejuvenation needs Su Yi.

Li Du believed in Su Yi, but he was not completely assured of Su Chang.

The root of this matter is still in Chenmi Hutong.

At the beginning, in order to force the person behind the scenes and put pressure on him, Xu Jian once said something to Li Shao in the East Palace, mentioning that "the envoy from Gu Yue came in and out of the house, so he left the golden note."

Those things were said on purpose, heard on purpose, and spread to the other person's ears on purpose.

And that person only cut off Dao Heng's tail after he knew that Xu Jian had known about Chen Mi Hutong.

Since the person behind the scenes was Li Du, how would he view the envoy Su Chang?

Xu Jian's original words were conservative. He did not identify who the envoy was, nor did he reveal that it was Eunuch Tong who met the envoy. Even on the day of the siege of the Jin Palace, Eunuch Tong's visit to Chenmi Hutong was concealed.

Got up.

But when it comes to Li Du, I think I have to be on guard.

A year later, Xu Jian did not check the eunuchs who came in and out of Chenmi Hutong, but it was not until Feng Chang spoke that there was any movement.

Of course it wasn't that Lin Yunyan and the others didn't want to investigate, but that except for the surname Tong, Su Chang couldn't answer any questions.

In Li Du's opinion, this is more like Xu Jian only knowing one thing but not the other.

In other words, Xu Jian knew the identity of Gu Yue's envoy and even Su Chang, but he did not know and did not recognize Eunuch Tong himself.

Only Su Chang recognized Eunuch Tong.

Once Eunuch Tong is arrested, Suchang will be extremely suspicious.

As Su Chang is judged to be untrustworthy, all subsequent actions of Li Du and Su Yi will be adjusted accordingly.

Using Eunuch Tong as bait to test Su Chang's loyalty was the reason why Li Du kept him in the capital.

It was with this in mind that Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian arranged their arrest tonight.

Eunuch Tong will definitely be arrested, and Li Du will have to mess up his other plans.

The one who recognized him was Aunt He.

After the garrison yamen was evacuated, Lin Yunyan left with Aunt He's family in plain sight.

This is not only to protect Suchang, but also to prevent Suchang.

Xu Jian and Huangque were behind and caught three people following him, showing that he was well prepared.

At the same time, he also "let go" one.

That one is in Xiaoci Hutong. He seems to have lived here forever. All the neighbors recognize him. Even though the security office checked twice, he couldn't find him.

The only thing that shows off is the body shape.

When standing and walking, an expert can tell whether it is Lianjiazi.

Moreover, the man looked at Lin Yunyan and Nanny He secretly, his eyes were not curious, but scrutinizing.

Xu Jian did not arrest the man, but asked Xuan Su to follow him carefully to determine where he would go next.

Not long after, the three people were lifted up together, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they were in a very embarrassed state.

Wantang asked: "Everyone's name, surname, and what they have done should be explained."

No one answered.

Wantang was not surprised by this, he chuckled, turned to Xu Jian and said: "It's naive to be tougher in the yamen."

"It's naive." Xu Jian answered.

He has seen tough-talking people.

Like Wang Liuliu, it is extremely difficult to dig out a word of truth from his mouth.

But if there were three accomplices, it would be easier to handle.

"You can just freeze if you want. We'll starve for three to five days before we review. Whoever speaks first will eat chicken legs, the second one will be fed two mouthfuls of rice porridge, and the last one will be hungry."

"Turn around and come back again, still the same rules, repeat for a few days."

"You three, look at each other. Can the other two survive better than yourself?"

"If you hesitate a little longer, the chicken drumsticks and rice porridge will be gone."
