Wang Wangzhou suddenly appeared outside the door of Huguangju. He looked around before knocking on the door of Huguangju.
"Sirger Wang?"
The person who opened the door was Chai Yan. He was slightly surprised to see that the person coming was Wang Wangzhou, but he immediately let him in.
After Wang Wangzhou entered the door, he said: "Secretary Chai, I found out something..."
Chai Yan closed the door and said, "Sir Wang, come inside and speak slowly!"
The two of them walked side by side into the main hall and immediately took their seats.
Chai Yan asked seriously: "Sir Wang, what did you find out?"
Wang Wangzhou replied: "Sir Chai, in Lang Xiong's hometown, his wife and children...the whole family is missing!"
"When did it happen?" Chai Yan's instinct told him that this was very abnormal.
Wang Wangzhou was a little embarrassed, but he still said truthfully: "Year... years ago..."
"Years ago?" Chai Yan was stunned and said in astonishment: "It's been almost a month..."
Wang Wangzhou admitted: "Sir Chai, this was my negligence. I failed to discover it in time..."
The Wude Division of the Sheng Dynasty was a complex intelligence information network. Every once in a while, the situation of officials at all levels and the officials' families would be secretly recorded by spies, and then summarized and reported to the local Wude Division Police Office.
After Chai Yan asked Wang Wangzhou to investigate Lang Xiong that day, Wang Wangzhou had been checking intelligence information related to Lang Xiong for the past two days.
After this search, it was discovered that Lang Xiong suddenly disappeared before his family celebrated the New Year in his hometown. The spies only reported the situation truthfully, but because of the Chinese New Year, no one paid attention to these intelligence messages, and they were thrown away as soon as they were delivered.
When it arrived in the warehouse, it ate ashes.
If it weren't for Chai Yan, Wang Wangzhou would never have gone through those things!
Chai Yan asked: "Do you think the disappearance of his family is directly related to wanting to kill me?"
Wang Wangzhou nodded affirmatively: "It's very possible!"
Chai Yan couldn't help but get up and pace around the hall, looking up while thinking rapidly in his mind.
"Sir Wang, when you said that, I suddenly thought of someone!" Chai Yan stopped and turned around.
Wang Wangzhou looked at him curiously: "Who is that person?"
Chai Yan said: "Hello Liu Tong!"
"Liu Tonghao...who is it?" Wang Wangzhou didn't know this county magistrate.
Chai Yan explained: "This man named Liu Tonghao used to be the magistrate of Changyuan County. People from the secret sect once held his family hostage and forced him to work for the secret sect..."
Next, Chai Yan patiently told a series of things that happened in Changyuan County at that time.
Wang Wangzhou was very surprised after hearing this: "Secretary Chai, are you saying that the disappearance of Lang Xiong's family was actually held hostage by the secret sect, and that Lang Xiong sent people to kill you, all under their control?"
"It's very possible!" Chai Yan nodded solemnly, then showed a playful smile and said: "That time in Yuanyuan County, the dark sect was determined to get the lioness, but I ruined their good deeds. Not only did they not get the lioness, but they let
The members of the cult suffered heavy casualties! Tell me, can those people in the secret cult not hate me to the core?"
"I always thought that the secret sect had been eradicated long ago, but I didn't expect that they had grown stronger secretly!" Wang Wangzhou said in a stern tone.
Then, Wang Wangzhou asked: "Sir Chai, if this is really what you said, what should we do next?"
Chai Yan thought for a while, then suddenly came up with an idea and said: "Secretary Wang, I want to ask you for a favor..."
"No matter if you're busy or not, Secretary Chai just gives you orders!" Wang Wangzhou said cheerfully.
Chai Yan smiled and said, "In your name, how about asking Lang Xiong out for a meal?"
"No problem!" Wang Wangzhou replied without hesitation.
Then, Chai Yan sat next to Wang Wangzhou, and the two discussed in a low voice...
--------------------------
Early the next morning, in the inner courtyard of Yaozhou Prefecture.
It's time to take a bath today, so Lang Xiong doesn't have to get up early, but the servant came early and knocked on the door: "My lord, are you awake? My lord..."
"Who is it? Don't you know you have a rest today?" Lang Xiong was a little irritated.
I heard the servant outside say: "Don't be surprised, Sir, it's Secretary Wang... Someone from Secretary Wang's side has sent a letter..."
"Sir Wang..." Lang Xiong instantly lost most of his sleepiness and asked in surprise: "Wang Wangzhou?"
"Yes, sir!" The servant outside immediately responded.
Lang Xiong quickly got out of bed and ran to open the door. The servant outside hurriedly handed the letter in.
Lang Xiong grabbed the letter, quickly closed the door, ran back to the bed, opened it and started reading.
After reading the letter, Lang Xiong began to wonder...
Why did Wang Wangzhou suddenly remember to ask me to meet, and he also asked to meet alone. What was his purpose?
Although Wang Wangzhou's official rank is slightly lower than that of Lang Xiong, he does not dare to refuse Wang Wangzhou's appointment. Wu Desi is the official's uncle, and officials do not dare to offend easily!
Lang Xiong put down the letter and while getting dressed, he guessed the reason why Wang Wangzhou asked him to meet him...
Is it because of the Moon Island incident?
Lang Xiong immediately shook his head and denied this possibility. Wang Wangzhou and the others knew that the wise king wanted to take Moon Island for private use. How could they come to the house only half way through the construction?
Impossible, impossible...
Immediately afterwards, Lang Xiong was shocked and thought to himself: Could it be Han Jian's death that made them suspicious?
You shouldn’t!
Lang Xiong asked himself that he handled the Han Jian matter very neatly.
After thinking about it, Lang Xiong finally thought that it was more likely that Wang Wangzhou would want to see him because of Han Jian's matter.
However, Lang Xiong was not too panicked. After all, Han Jian was beaten to death by the Xian Wang's generals. When the time came to answer, he would adapt to the situation and blame the Xian Wang's people for the cause of death. Let's see what Wang Wangzhou had to say.
Just after noon, Lang Xiong's official sedan appeared at one end of West Street, followed by a scholar in white, who was Bai Yucheng, Lang Xiong's confidant.
The official sedan moved slowly towards Yanbo Tower, where Wang Wangzhou was meeting.
Suddenly, Lang Xiong in the sedan opened half of the curtains of the sedan window and called softly: "Yucheng, are you ready with the things I asked you to prepare?"
Bai Yucheng hurriedly approached the sedan window, bowed and whispered: "Don't worry, sir, we are already prepared!"
With that said, Bai Yucheng raised his sleeves and illuminated half of the wooden box.
"Yeah!" Lang Xiong nodded.
The wooden box contained three hundred taels of silver notes, which Lang Xiong planned to use to bribe Wang Wangzhou.
During the period until noon, Lang Xiong thought of one more thing, and that was Li Yuantang!
Li Yuantang died some time ago, and it is estimated that it will be Wang Wangzhou's turn to take charge of the Yaozhou Prosecution Office. Taking advantage of his opportunity to meet with him, he can improve the relationship.
"Yucheng, don't rush to give away the things for a while. First, let's hear why he wants to meet me." Lang Xiong warned softly.
Bai Yucheng said sincerely that you still need to teach him, but his face was still very respectful: "Don't worry, sir, Yucheng understands!"
Lang Xiong nodded slightly, and then said: "Go faster, don't be late!"
After saying that, Lang Xiong let go of his hand, and the curtain of the sedan window immediately fell down.
"Go faster, don't be late!"
Bai Yucheng urged the sedan bearer, and the sedan immediately sped up and walked along West Street towards Yanbo Tower.
