Master of Rebirth

"I said, two masters, what time is it now? Why are you still in the mood to gamble?" Seeing the two people clapping their hands and swearing in earnest, Yan Wu said with a bitter face: "If it is true as the prince said, Xue Cai has always been in Wang Long's hands, so isn't he already in danger?"

Wang Qi smiled and said, "I estimate that Xue Cai and the others should not be in danger for their lives for the time being."

"How do you say that?" Yan Wu hurriedly asked.

Wang Qi said: "It's fine if you run into a foolish county magistrate, but County magistrate Liu is not easy to fool. If the bodies of Xue Cai and Ju Xiang are found, Wu Zuo will definitely be able to check the time of death from the corpses. Calculate according to the time , if Xue Cai and the others died before they eloped, Magistrate Liu would definitely suspect the Wang family."

"But now Xue Cai and the others have 'leaved' from the Wang family for several hours. If we kill them now and throw them away anywhere, wouldn't we be able to get rid of the relationship with the Wang family?" Yan Wu said worriedly.

Wang Qi shook her head, "My second uncle has always acted prudently, and will not leave any excuses easily. Since Xue Cai and Ju Xiang will elope, it means that they don't want to die at all. Therefore, they can't seek death unless they have to. Right now The arrest warrant has just been issued, and the investigation has not yet been fully launched. Xue Cai and Ju Xiang can't wait to die. Anyone who looks at it feels that it is too hasty. Therefore, even if you want to make things look more natural, the second uncle has to delay it for a while. Send them on the road in two days."

"Then according to your opinion, where will Wang Feng hide Xue Cai and Ju Xiang?" Zhao Jing asked.

Without answering his question, Wang Qi said, "Have you ever thought about why Wang Feng and Wang Long chose to let Ju Xiang and Xue Cai elope?"

"If Wang Gongzi's thoughts are true, it means that Wang Long and the others are cold-blooded and ruthless, and they don't care about human life at all." Yan Wu said: "This kind of person can live for himself, and everyone around him can become a scapegoat. I am afraid that in his eyes, there is no I didn't treat these concubines as human beings, as for which one to choose to die, I guess it all depends on the mood."

But Zhao Jing had other ideas. He looked at Wang Qi and asked, "You mean, this Juxiang also knows about Wang Long. Wang Long chose her because he wanted to solve two scourges at once."

"Oh, that's right." Yan Wu also reacted, "Before Xue's death, this Juxiang gave her soup. But Wu Zuo has checked it, and there is nothing wrong with the soup."

Wang Qidao: "After Mrs. Xue fell to the ground, the first thing ordinary people think of is to invite a doctor, not to report to the official. Even if they find that Mrs. Xue is dead, they may hesitate to report to the official. According to this calculation, Wu Zuo came to check I'm afraid it has been delayed for a long time, enough for people to replace the poisonous things. In fact, as early as when I suspected that Xue Shi's death was related to Wang Long, I knew that there must be Wang Long's people around Xue Shi. You think, Mrs. Xue and Wang Long have been at odds for a long time, and Mrs. Xue will definitely not eat what Wang Long sent. Of course, this is just my guess. evidence of."

"If this Ju Xiang was really ordered by Wang Long to poison Xue Shi, then Wang Long would definitely not let her live. We must find them as soon as possible." Yan Wu said: "Young Master Wang, what can you do? "

Wang Qi lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said: "I guess Xue Cai and Ju Xiang may not know that Second Uncle and Wang Long have decided to sacrifice them both. If they knew, Ju Xiang is a weak woman, but Xue Cai is strong and strong." Boy, you definitely won’t be caught without a fight. In case of a conflict, you will be injured, sending the body to the yamen will only add unnecessary trouble. Besides, we and the yamen have ambushed people in the Wang’s house. If there is a dispute, it is impossible not to was discovered."

"What if they are a surprise attack?" Zhao Jing wanted to contradict Wang Qi, but instead said to him, "If they attack Xue Cai suddenly while he is asleep, Xue Cai is hard to guard against, so he is naturally under the control of others. What's more, It may also be that he put sweat medicine in his diet. A person who has fallen asleep is definitely easier to deal with than a person who is alive and kicking."

Wang Qi smiled nonchalantly, and said: "It is indeed possible, but if we do this, it will be very troublesome to deal with the aftermath. As I said just now, Second Uncle and the others will not let Xue Cai die so quickly. If you lose your face, you have to find someone to watch them all the time. Once one of them runs out, it will be a waste of time. If I were the second uncle, I would coax Xue Cai and Ju Xiang into believing that I would protect them. After trusting them, I hid them in a secret place to cut off their connection with the outside world. They have a guilty conscience, so they will be obedient and hide well."

After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "When I stir up public opinion outside and make everyone think that Xue Cai and Ju Xiang are absconding in fear of crime, I will choose an appropriate time to tell Xue Cai and Ju Xiang that the current situation is very bad. I am going to send them to hide outside for a few days. As long as they are safe, Wang Long can be kept safe. They will follow me willingly, and there is absolutely no need to worry about running away. After that, I can take them to a secluded place He was killed somewhere, and then he committed suicide in fear of crime."

"I will never offend the prince in the future." After listening to Wang Qi, Yan Wu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, "You think too much... If it weren't for Linglongzhai, you would be the first victim, I would have thought that the whole Everything is planned by you."

Wang Qi smiled and took a sip of tea, and said, "I just know Second Uncle's personality too well, it's nothing if I can guess his behavior."

After listening to Wang Qi's analysis, Zhao Jing's complexion was not good, but the lives of Xue Cai and Ju Xiang were at stake right now, and their life and death were related to the fate of Lian Yi, Zhao Jing did not dare to neglect, and could only ask: "Then what do you think?" , where will Wang Feng hide Xue Cai and Ju Xiang?"

"I estimate that there is a high possibility that they are still in the Wang family." Wang Qi said: "The Wang family is a big family in Pingyao County, and there is also a third master who is an official in the capital. The second uncle should have thought of this, so he boldly hid the man in the mansion. After all, you can rest assured only if you put the man under your nose. Brother Yanwu is very skilled in martial arts, so you can send someone to sneak into Wang's house to look for it carefully. "

Yan Wu said: "It's not a problem to send someone in, but the Wang family is very big, and I don't have enough manpower. If I want to search every room carefully without anyone noticing, I'm afraid it will take some time. I wonder if the prince can do it." Can't provide a general direction, so as to reduce the burden on the brothers?"

"Xue Cai and Ju Xiang are two big living people after all. Even if they are hidden, their daily diet is still indispensable. Right now their identities are embarrassing and they cannot be discovered, and the servants of the Wang family cannot be absolutely loyal. My second uncle is very suspicious. I will definitely not entrust the task of guarding the two to others. Wang Liang, the chief steward of the Wang family, is my second uncle's confidant, and if I stare at him, I will probably gain something." Wang Qi said unhurriedly.

Yan Wu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your guidance."

"If you really find the traces of Xue Cai and Ju Xiang, you'd better not startle them. Just save their lives." Wang Qi said.

Yan Wu was puzzled and said, "Why?"

"Now that they are kept in the dark, they may not know about Second Uncle's vicious intentions. If they wait until Second Uncle attacks them before saving them, who do you think Xue Cai and Ju Xiang will be grateful for?" Wang Qi smiled slyly, Then he continued: "Of course, if Brother Yanwu has the ability to notify the magistrate Liu and let them arrive just in time for the second uncle's attack, they can not only save the two of them, but also catch the second uncle alone and get the stolen goods. At that time, even superfluous explanations are unnecessary.”

Yan Wu couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "Young Master Wang is really a good method, and my subordinates will think about it."

"Since that's the case, Yan Wu and I will go to work first." Zhao Jing stood up and said.

Seeing that he was going to go out in person, although Wang Qi was disappointed, she was not surprised, and just nodded slightly.

Zhao Jing didn't say much, and led Yan Wu away.

Just now she was busy analyzing the case and giving advice, but now that she has calmed down, Wang Qi felt that something was wrong.It's long past the time for breakfast, why hasn't Qi Xing come over to treat him to a meal?

Getting up and going out the door, he saw Qi Xing standing in the cold wind for an unknown how long.Wang Qi was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you standing here?"

"Oh, I'm here to treat the young master to dinner." Qi Xing hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Young master, I just saw Brother Yanwu leave your room. When did he... when did he come? Why didn't the concierge inform you?" ?”

Seeing that Qi Xing really saw Yan Wu, Wang Qi's heart sank, and he hurriedly explained: "He is used to walking around the rivers and lakes, and he has always come and gone without a trace. This time, he came to me in a hurry. Go through the main entrance, you don't have to pay attention."

"It turned out to be like this." Qi Xing didn't show any relief on his face, but said: "There is another person behind him, the little one looks familiar, but he can't remember where he saw him."

Knowing that Qi Xing was talking about Zhao Jing, afraid that he would recognize him, Wang Qi hurriedly said: "There are so many people who look alike, you may not know each other. I'm hungry, so tell the kitchen to bring breakfast to my room .”

"Yes." Although Qi Xing was full of doubts, he followed his advice.

The breakfast was quite rich, but Wang Qi was a little careless.Now Second Uncle and Wang Long are in a hurry. If things go well, the Wang family will definitely suffer.If the second uncle and Wang Long both went in, according to Wang Li's nature, they might bring in the third uncle from the capital.It's just that Xiangye will let the third uncle intervene in the affairs of the Wang family.

Thinking of Prime Minister Fang Tingyu, Wang Qi suddenly remembered that the purpose of Zhao Jing's visit to Pingyao County this time was to secretly investigate the evidence of Fang Tingyu's collusion with Wang Feng's officials and businessmen.It's just that so many things happened later, but this matter was ignored.If the Wang family falls, will Zhao Jing take the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the Wang family's business and pull Fang Tingyu into the water?In order to protect himself, Fang Tingyu will definitely draw a line with his second uncle.But the second uncle has been in business for so many years, and he is not a good person. Will he keep evidence to suppress Fang Tingyu in his hands?

Wang Qi didn't mind the downfall of Fang Tingyu and the Wang family. After all, according to the experience of the previous life, it would happen sooner or later, it was only a matter of time.What he cared about was that the fire at the city gate would bring disaster to the fish in the pond.If the Wang family committed a felony, would the imperial court let him go, an "unfilial son" who betrayed the Wang family?Although he has long since broken ties with the Wang family, his surname is still Wang after all.If the court insists on pursuing it, even if Ah Man is willing to speak up for him, there is no guarantee that other people will want him to die.Thinking of Zheng Xihou, Ma Pozi and the mysterious person who forced him to break up with Zhao Jing, Wang Qi was still worried.

After taking a few mouthfuls of food hastily, Wang Qi put down the chopsticks and asked the servants to remove everything, then said to Qi Xing, "Go and invite Wang Sheng here."

"Yes." Seeing Wang Qi's serious expression, Qi Xing seemed to have sensed something, he didn't dare to neglect at all, and hurriedly went to find Wang Sheng.

After Qi Xing left, Wang Qi frowned and thought deeply, this time, no matter how those people force him, he will definitely not leave Zhao Jing.But before he throws all his eggs in one basket, he still needs to arrange the people around him.It's also worth noting that after he suffered, these people have nowhere to go.

After Wang Sheng came, Wang Qi met him in the study.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Wang Sheng bowed and saluted.

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Do you still remember the business we discussed before?"

"Hu Xiu? The little one will remember it naturally." Wang Sheng said quickly: "Master, when are we going to start this matter? I've been idle at home for a few days, and the little one feels uncomfortable all over."

Seeing that Wang Sheng was gearing up and ready to fight, Wang Qi was very satisfied.He handed the letter he had just written to Wang Sheng, and said: "Tomorrow, you will take Qi Qing, Chang An, and Xiao Shun to the capital for a walk, and hand this letter to my friend. For the rest, he will He will help with the cooking. All you have to do is listen to him."

Since Wang Qi had already mentioned the official Zhao in the capital, Wang Sheng simply took the letter and put it close to his body, then cupped his hands to Wang Qi and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"It's a long way to go. Although there are people to help, we still need to bring more money for preparation." Wang Qi handed Wang Sheng a stack of bank notes and a scroll, and said, "This is a gift from me to Mr. Zhao. , put it away carefully."

Wang Sheng put the scroll on the table, looked at the thick bank note in his hand, and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Master, you gave too much, I'm afraid you don't need so much money."

"I know you're not a waste of money. You keep the bank notes first, and when you open a store in the future, there are still many places to spend money." Wang Qi said.

Wang Qi clearly meant to hand over the new store to him, and Wang Sheng was very happy, so he accepted it.

"You're leaving tomorrow, go back and pack up. Be careful on the road," Wang Qi said.

"Yes, the little one is going down." Thinking about going back and explaining to his family, Wang Sheng didn't stop, and went back after saluting.

As Wang Qi expected, Zhao Jing and Yan Wu really found Xue Cai and Ju Xiang in a courtyard of the Wang family.Remembering Wang Qi's words, Zhao Jing did not startle the snake, but asked Yanwu to send people to closely monitor every move of the side courtyard.

At the same time, the rumors outside became more and more intense, and many people believed that Xue Cai and Ju Xiang conspired to kill Xue Shi.Because Xue's mourning hall was haunted by ghosts, the two felt guilty and were afraid of being investigated by the yamen, so they absconded in fear of crime.

Everything was going according to Wang Feng and Wang Long's plan.

On the third day after the Yamen issued a reward for arrest, they finally did it...

"According to Mr. Wang, my subordinates saw that Wang Feng was about to attack, so they found out the location of their attack in advance, and managed to disclose it to Liu County Magistrate." Yan Wu said beamingly: "It's also God's beauty, Yamen Xue Cai and Ju Xiang happened to be rescued when the people rushed over. Now that they have been sent to the Yamen, Xue Cai and Ju Xiang have confessed everything because they were angry with Wang Feng and his son's assassination. He came forward to testify that he had met Wang Long in Lihuayuan through Xue Cai. Right now, Wang Long could not escape. Wang Feng was also implicated in his attempt to kill Xue Cai and Ju Xiang with poison. Now both father and son are in prison It's on."

These things were all expected, Wang Qi didn't ask further, but said: "Where is Ah Man? Why didn't he come over?"

"Young Lord, he..." A trace of discomfort flashed across Yan Wu's face, and he continued: "Young Master has some things to deal with, so he didn't come over. He was afraid that the young master would be worried, so he specially asked his subordinates to tell you what happened now Even if the truth comes to light, Miss Lianyi should be able to avoid the death penalty. The young master said, when the busy time is over, I must thank you, Mr. Wang."

"Your master is too polite." Wang Qi was a little disappointed, thinking, how could Zhao Jing thank him for Lianyi?It sounds like Zhao Jing and Lianyi are the same family, but he is an outsider instead.The reason why Zhao Jing didn't come to see him was probably because he went to see Lianyi in the prison.

Actually this time, Wang Qi really wronged Zhao Jing.He didn't go to see Ripple, but was dealing with an elder who came suddenly.Because Mrs. Ma is here.
