The envelope is made of the best Shu paper, which is tough and white. Most people cannot afford this kind of Shu paper. The seal is made of clay, which is intact but has no seal.
Inside is a piece of hemp paper, which is also the best paper, but the words on it are unflattering, arrogant, and crooked. It looks like a beginner, but the content on it has a biting chill. There is only one line of words - Jingyang County.
The ambusher was Sun Li, the prince's bodyguard.
Changsun is a compound surname, and few people use it. The most famous one is Changsun Wuji, the Minister of Rites of the dynasty, and the prince of the dynasty is Changsun Wuji's nephew. Could it be that the guards are from Changsun's family and were sent by Changsun Wuji to protect the prince?
How could the Changsun family be involved with King Wei? There is no need for the Changsun family to place multiple bets.
In an instant, Qin Huaidao thought of many things, his eyes focused, he put the letter away close to his body, and asked: "How did this letter get into the Supervisory Office without so many people seeing it? Has anyone else seen this letter?"
"I don't know who shot it in with an arrow. It must have been a projectile. There were many people who saw it at the time, but no one dared to read the content. Can you tell me what is written on it?" Cheng Chumo quickly explained.
"It's best not to know." Qin Huaidao refused bluntly and felt cold in his heart. Sure enough, someone couldn't wait to take action and wanted to use him as a sword. King Wei was the most suspicious. He had to find a way to stimulate the prince without provoking a fight between the two tigers.
How to reap the benefits of fishermen?
If you want to use a knife, you must be prepared to be wounded by a knife!
At this time, someone brought bedding, kitchen utensils, grain and oil, etc. Liu and He'er went to arrange the arrangements.
If you try to cover it up in the past, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to cover it up again tomorrow.”
"When someone asks, they say that I am secretly investigating an important case, and I already have some clues." Qin Huaidao warned, someone wanted to take action on his own and sent a secret letter. You have to cooperate, right?
I just don’t know if I should continue to be surprised or frightened if I wait a few days without any progress?
Thoughts flashed through the lightning and flint, and Qin Huaidao asked: "Is everything going well at the Supervisory Office?"
"Don't worry, Bao Lin and I are keeping an eye on each other. It's okay. The brothers are basically familiar with each other. We practice every day and we will be able to cooperate and form a tacit understanding in a month at most. But you have to be careful. If you have anything to say, don't forget us.
They are brothers." Cheng Chumo warned.
"Don't worry, I don't want to let you know about some things because the time has not come yet. It's not because I don't trust you." Qin Huaidao said clearly to avoid everyone misunderstanding.
Cheng Chumo's face looked better, he waved his hand and said, "I'll go back to the Supervisory Office and tell you something."
Looking at Cheng Chumo's leaving figure, Qin Huaidao was thinking, this letter is enough to prove that someone can't sit still and wants to make a fuss. The more this time, the more he must be steady. He can't follow the other person's ideas, but he can't do nothing either.
, you have to let the prince know that he is nervous and fight back.
"It seems that we have to start with this letter." Qin Huaidao gradually came up with a countermeasure.
Not long after, everyone arranged their things and came out. Xue Rengui said: "Young Master, there are too many things here and it is not safe. I will stay here. Anyway, there is a bed."
"It doesn't matter, the security in Dongshi is the strictest, with the most patrols. I've already said hello to the nearby Qianniu Guards. It's not a big problem. The things inside are unique and no one dares to steal them. You and your sister-in-law haven't seen each other for a long time. Go back home.
He'er, go and lock the lock." Qin Huaidao looked at He'er who was coming over.
"Okay!" He'er agreed.
After the lock was locked, the group left. Qin Huaidao deliberately pulled He'er and walked in front, walking faster so that Xue Rengui and his wife could say some thoughtful words.
When he was about to arrive at the mansion, Qin Huaidao suddenly said: "He'er, let them go back to the mansion first and prepare some food. I'll go do some errands. It won't be long."
"Young master, be careful."
"I know." Qin Huaidao responded and walked quickly towards the side road.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao came to Yongningfang and saw someone wandering on the road. It was abnormal in the cold weather. He was either looking for work or a rogue. He went up to grab him, took out a few coins and said: "Wannian County Jia Li
Where does the treasurer live? Take me there, and this will be yours."
The other party's eyes lit up, he snatched it away, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing my dog San'er doesn't know about in this area. I'll bring it to you."
Qin Huaidao smelled the smell of alcohol on the other party's body and said worriedly: "But think about it carefully. If you don't do things properly after taking the money, you can't afford the consequences."
"I understand, I understand. You look like a noble person at first glance, but you are an ant. You can't afford to offend me, but I understand." The other party said repeatedly. At first glance, you look like an old street gangster with a knife.
This kind of person doesn't tell the truth, but he will do things with money because he is afraid of death!
Qin Huaidao was not afraid of being cheated by the other party. He only had a few copper coins. He followed forward and soon came to the door of a courtyard. Gou Saner shouted: "Uncle Li, there is a noble person looking for you."
"Who is it?" A middle-aged man came out and looked at Qin Huaidao curiously.
"Are you the warden of Jiali Library in Wannian County?"
"It's just a junior official. Who is the noble one?"
When Qin Huaidao saw someone confronting him, he signaled Gou San'er to leave and then broke into the yard. Seeing that the other party was about to call someone, he showed his identity card and said coldly: "If you don't want to cause trouble, just be honest."
"Mr. Yi Guo?" The other person recognized the words on the token, his face changed greatly, and he quickly bowed and said: "I didn't know that the Duke of Guo was here, so I was very negligent. I ask the Duke to atone for my sins."
"Help me check someone out, be strict with your words." Qin Huaidao said and threw over a tael of silver.
The other party caught it in a panic. If he dared to ask for it, he hurriedly handed it over and said, "Please take it back, sir. Who do you want to check? I'll go right now, little one."
Qin Huaidao confiscated it: "Take what is given to you, Changsun Li!"
The other party's face changed when he heard the name. Changsun's surname is really too sensitive. It's scary to think about the Duke checking the Duke. He didn't dare to ask any more questions. He went into the house and took some clothes to put on and said hello to his family.
As he hurried out, Qin Huaidao did not follow him, but warned: "Go back quickly, I'll wait here."
"Yes, little one, let's go right away." The other party hurried away.
Qin Huaidao was waiting in the yard. He saw the other party's family coming out to look at him, but he didn't dare to come up and ask more questions. He didn't want to be too fussy and didn't move. He waited patiently. The name Changsun Li was too sensitive and could not be investigated publicly. If it had nothing to do with Changsun Wuji, it would still be wrong.
Good point, if it is related, if you don’t continue to investigate and you won’t be able to explain it, you will be put into a passive position.
You can only conduct a secret investigation and determine the next step after confirming your identity.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the man hurried back and handed over several identity files. Qin Huaidao took them and took a look. They all had the same name and surname. Wannian County has a population of hundreds of thousands. It is not surprising that there are several people with the same name and surname.
After checking, I quickly found a match.
The other party was originally a scholar named Shi Li, who was from Shijia Village in the north. The village was attacked by soldiers and bandits, but he was lucky enough to save his life. He joined the army in anger and later became the captain of Changsun Wuji's personal guard camp.
After the founding of the country, the personal guard camp of the Duke's ministers was disbanded. Shi Li was a rare talent with both literary and military skills. Changsun Wuji gave him the surname of Changsun, changed his name to Changsunli, and sent him to serve as a bodyguard for the prince.
Judging from the information, this person's identity is clean, simple, and innocent. He is appreciated by Changsun Wuji and has no reason to be related to the King of Wei. What is going on behind this?
"Duke?" A nervous voice sounded.
Qin Huaidao pulled back his thoughts and looked at the other party.
The man quickly said: "My lord, if you need to take it away, please make a copy of it."
"No, remember, my father-in-law has not been here today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to protect you." Qin Huaidao returned some information to the other party, turned around and left.
When the other party received the information, his face turned bitter and he was extremely panicked - this was a fight between gods!
A young man came over and asked: "Aye, what happened?"
"Sir, don't pry around. If you don't want to die, forget what that person looked like just now. Just remember that no one was here just now and nothing happened. Otherwise, no one in the whole family will survive."
"Remember, Aye!" The young man's face changed drastically and he quickly agreed.
