Yu Wenhao didn't quite understand what was special about these martial arts practitioners. After all, many martial arts practitioners were housekeepers of noble families, and there were also decent children among them.
He looked at Xiao Hongchen and said, "It is human nature to be greedy for money. In addition, the lintel of Prince Bao's palace is not low, so it is not necessarily aggrieved to take refuge in his family."
Seeing his confused look, Xiao Hongchen explained patiently: "Yes, it is human nature to be greedy for money, but as I just mentioned, this Chen Datong has a rich family and he took refuge under Prince Bao's family. It is conceivable that
What you are seeking is not money. Since it is not money, you are probably seeking power. However, since Prince Bao has not joined the court as an official now, you cannot seek power at the moment, so what you are seeking is the future."
"Prince Bao did have rebellious intentions at the beginning. Isn't that right?" Yu Wenhao became more and more confused as he listened.
Xiao Hongchen shook his head, "These big factions have very unique vision. Especially Chen Shu asked his son to come to Prince Bao's Mansion instead of just sending any master from his sect. This shows that he is cautious. In this case, why not choose a reliable person to join him?"
?He took refuge with Prince Ji more than a year or two ago. Even if he took refuge with Prince Ji at that time, it would be safer than Prince Bao, let alone you or Prince An. After all, Prince Bao doesn’t even have simple troops, let alone
Real power, even if the plan was started more than a year ago, it is just empty talk, why did Chen Shu not hesitate to send his own son?"
She unfolded the list and pointed to the names on it, "There are also these three who are all great disciples of the major sects in the martial arts world. Their martial arts skills are not to mention, and their strategies and cleverness are first-class. If Chen Shu takes risks, it is not
As for so many sects following the adventure."
After hearing her explanation, Yu Wenhao understood, "So, these people were not recruited by Prince Bao, nor did they take the initiative to seek refuge. Instead, they were arranged by someone to lurk beside Prince Bao and become his confidants.
"
"Yes, it is very likely that he is from Hongye." Xiao Hongchen said.
Yu Wenhao thought for a while and slowly shook his head, "No, they are not Hongye's people. If they were Hongye's people, and assuming they stole the military map, they would definitely hand it over to Hongye immediately, so there is no need for Hongye to come.
, according to our current observation of him, he has not succeeded in the military map, and he is still thinking of ways to rescue Prince Bao."
"Could it be a cover-up? In fact, he has already obtained the military map, but he just came here deliberately to disturb everyone's sight."
Yu Wenhao waved his hand, with a heavy look on his handsome face, "I prefer that there are two forces in Prince Bao's palace, one is Young Master Hongye, and the other is the person who hurt Lu Yuan. These martial arts
It is very likely that the masters were deployed by these two forces."
Xiao Hongchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I thought Prince Bao was very smart before, but I didn't expect that he was just a pawn."
Yu Wenhao shook his head again, "You are wrong to say that. He is very smart, but he planned too late. Therefore, he actually knew in his heart that those people could not be trusted. There was a master behind him, but there was no way. He had no one to use. You
Look, whether it was to steal the military map or take the old lady to Western Zhejiang, he would not use these people, but his confidants, some of whom were not ruthless, and were killed by Hongye in the end.
It’s not that he didn’t have plans, he just wasn’t prepared enough, and there was no time for him to prepare more.”
Xiao Hongchen nodded, agreed with his opinion, and asked: "Then who do you think this other force is?"
Yu Wenhao already had a candidate in mind, "No. 4."
Xiao Hongchen was a little surprised, "Him? Isn't he very peaceful recently?"
"It seems peaceful now, but don't forget that the matter of lurking was at least a year ago, when your concubine was not dead yet. You still can't ignore this woman's plan. I suspect that the whole thing is like this
Yes, the two forces lurking in Prince Bao's palace knew that Prince Bao had stolen the military map, and the fourth child also knew that there was another person lurking in Prince Bao's palace. Therefore, after receiving the report, he followed Bao.
The prince wanted to seize the military map before Prince Bao returned home, but little did he know that Prince Bao met Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan had a fight with Prince Bao and was injured by Prince Bao. He..."
Yu Wenhao said this, suddenly feeling a little confused.
"That's a good analysis. What's wrong?" Xiao Hongchen asked when he saw him stop.
Yu Wenhao raised his eyes suspiciously, "That's not right. If Prince Bao has already injured Lu Yuan, even if the fourth child comes out to seize the military map, there is no need to hurt Lu Yuan again. He can just deal with Prince Bao directly."
"Maybe Lu Yuan didn't faint when he took action, but did he wake up and see him?"
"But Prince Bao didn't say he fought with anyone else." Yu Wenhao pondered for a while, then patted his head, "No, he did fight. He knew who he was fighting with. Lao Qi said he did.
It is this person who is concealed and concealed.”
"Hiding it for Prince An? Why?" Xiao Hongchen didn't understand.
"I'll have to ask him now." Yu Wenhao's eyes flashed and he told Xiao Hongchen, "Help me investigate these sects. Those who can be captured will be captured first, and those who cannot be captured will be handed over to the Ghost Guards."
"Okay!" Xiao Hongchen accepted the order.
Yu Wenhao immediately rode back to Jingzhao Mansion. This time he asked people to bring Prince Bao to the Houya and ordered a table of wine and food to be prepared.
King Qi didn't understand why he was like this, "Why should fifth brother care about family ties? He has committed the crime of disobedience and unfilial piety. Treating him well will only humiliate Emperor Huizong."
Yu Wenhao patted him on the shoulder, "You should leave early tonight, either to accompany Lu Yuan or to accompany the round-faced girl. Don't stay in the government office."
King Qi looked apathetic, "Lu Yuan woke up and there is a group of people around him. I won't go looking for him. As for Big Fat... let her accompany Lu Yuan."
Yu Wenhao glanced at him, "Like a resentful woman, go for it if you like it, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"It's really boring to talk to you. You always preach." King Qi turned and left.
Yu Wenhao shook his head, looking like he was indecisive and stubborn when he shouldn't be.
If Lao Yuan ignores him, he will beg Lao Yuan back even if he wants to, and his face will be lost!
Thinking of Lao Yuan, he also thought of Mr. Hongye. This guy had a very warm attitude towards Lao Yuan. Fortunately, Lao Yuan was devoted to him and couldn't leave.
However, we still have to be careful about this person. It is best to have evidence to prove that he is involved in this matter and drive him out of Beitang in one fell swoop to avoid being worried.
Adjust your mentality, sit in the back office and wait quietly for Prince Bao.
The cook in the houya prepared several dishes, mixed with meat and fish, and warmed a pot of wine. The weather in late autumn and early winter was very cold after nightfall, so Yu Wenhao specially asked someone to bring a charcoal stove and warm it up in the house.
