Chapter 37: A First Look at the Big Picture
Wang Fang was instantly convinced.
No matter when, officials are different from the people. Especially in this feudal society, having an official body can really bring a lot of convenience. The hidden assets it has are more affordable than real money and silver.
"Thank you, Master Captain!"
When Zhou Yetong saw that Wang Fang had agreed to stay and help solve the case, she was immediately anxious. She was a little reckless, but not stupid... Just by hearing this, she knew that the case must be very dangerous.
"Senior brother... you'd better go back with me. No matter what happens, Master will definitely protect us."
Wang Fang said to Zhou Yetong: "Where are the eggs left after the nest is destroyed. This time the demon clan is coming in full force. If they don't find them out and eliminate them as soon as possible, the entire Jiang Kingdom may usher in a war.
When the two armies are fighting, the outcome is unpredictable. How long can Aunt Wan protect us?
The best way now is to find out these monsters that have entered the city. Zejunwen is in a state of affairs, and the demons in the mountains have no opportunity to take advantage of.
You go back, don't tell anyone about the matter here. Xiaozhi will give it to you for care. If she asks me what I am doing... you will say that I, Beidian Guard, have asked for an official position and are a little busy just now.
When I finish the work… I will go back.”
Zhou Yetong could hear that Wang Fang's tone had the intention of entrusting Jiang Xiaozhi. When he thought of the danger, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"I, I'll be here to accompany you. I'm a seventh-level painter, and I'm a lady from Zhenxihou's family. I'll bring more people to help you..."
Wang Fang was too embarrassed to cry for the girl, so he reached out to wipe off Zhou Yetong's tears rolling down and reminded: "Captain Chunyu will not let us leak this matter, there must be her reason. If too many people know that there are monsters in the city, it may make us even more dangerous.
After you go back, don't say anything.
Sanwen Medical Center is open when it should be opened. Let’s talk about the big medical center... I’ll talk about it when I go back."
"Senior brother, you promise me that you must come back."
Wang Fang looked at Zhou Yetong with a look of anticipation and said with a smile: "I have Wukong. You have also seen Wukong's methods. He will protect me well.
Go back, I will write to you every day to report your safety.”
Zhou Yetong left cryingly, and there were only two people left in the lobby.
"Where are the eggs left after the nest is destroyed... Prince Wang really told you and me in one word." Chunyu Jin savored the famous sayings of the world that Wang Fang said casually, then stood up and walked towards the back yamen: "Come with me, this is not a place to talk about confidential matters."
Wang Fang followed Chunyu Jin through the room and came to a small tea room.
Chunyu Jin closed the door, sat behind the tea table, using utensils to make tea. Wang Fang sat opposite him, quietly watching Chunyu Jin displaying his tea art.
Soon, a cup of fragrant black tea was placed in front of Wang Fang.
Then Chunyu Jin picked up a few more tea cups and placed them on the table, pouring tea into it one cup at a time.
"Ze County is divided into five parts, namely: North City, East City, South City, West City and the inner city of the royal palace. These five parts include North Palace Guard, East Palace Guard, South Palace Guard, West Palace Guard and the imperial guards, plus the royal court guards in the royal palace, these are the main troops protecting Ze County.
The appearance of the demon clan is different from that of the human race. One or two monsters sneak into Zejun may be difficult to detect.
But the number of monsters is different.
Moving, hiding, eating, and consuming... so many monsters came in, but there was no trace of them. Do you know how difficult it is to achieve this level?"
Seeing Chunyu Jin pouring tea, Wang Fang immediately understood what she was worried about.
"The lieutenant means... in these four palace guards, the imperial guards and the royal court guards, there are people covering these monsters?" Wang Fang remembered what Chunyu Jin said after they came out of the dry well, and said, "You said that Huailanfang is in the East City and is the sphere of influence of the Prime Minister Li Yao. Do you suspect that these monsters are related to him?"
Chunyu Jin picked up a cup of tea and signaled Wang Fang to drink tea. After drinking it all, he said, "There is also a 'Murderer Wang Fang' in the village case, but is it you the one who killed people? The authentic exit in Dongcheng does not mean that Li Yao colludes with monsters, but it does not mean that he was framed.
At this time, everyone is suspicious.”
Wang Fang thought, then drank the tea in the cup, and then asked, "Sir, do you have any doubts?"
Chunyu Jin changed a cup of tea for Wang Fang and replied: "However, there are so many people who are suspicious. Jiang Guo is in a turbulent autumn..."
Chunyu Jin and Wang Fang were drinking tea while explaining to him the current crown prince dispute in Jiangguo.
"... With the serious illness that the king has suffered in recent years, the competition between the eldest prince and the second prince for the crown prince has become increasingly fierce. The eldest prince is respectful to the wise and gentle, gentle and envious, and is the eldest son of the crown prince. He was originally the best candidate for the crown prince.
However, Li Yao had long controlled the national affairs, and was favored by the king and Yue Fei, forming cliques in Jiangguo for personal gain, covering the sky with his hands.
The power of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too great to lose, and the king is extremely dependent on Li Yao, so he has the idea of making the Second Prince the crown prince. After all, the Second Prince is Li Yao's nephew. After a hundred years, he will sincerely assist the new king."
Wang Fang drank the tea poured by Chunyu Jin and said, "People Chunyu praised the eldest prince so much, and they should support the eldest prince."
When Wang Fang talked about his position, Chunyu Jin just smiled and continued: "Born in this family, everything is in control. For this throne, the eldest prince has to fight for it; Li Yao has to fight for it... The consequences of not fighting are not as simple as dying by himself.
If you have the master of the 14th level painting or the master of the 15th level painting, you will be one of the chess pieces once you enter the game.”
Wang Fang frowned and said, "Sir, I'm pulling me into this game today!"
Chunyu Jin smiled and said, "You have been in the game long ago, and I have given you a choice... I said so much just to let you know what impact these monsters entering the city will have on Jiangguo.
Next, what I tell you is...who is the master behind these monsters.
The first is of course that the Prime Minister Li Yao, the Donghou of the King of the Kingdom. The Dongdian Guards and the Imperial Guards were his people. Most of the civil and military officials in the court followed Li Yao's horse. He was the most powerful in Jiang Kingdom. When King Ruojiang had an accident, he could directly recommend the second prince to ascend the throne.
The second... is Zhou Yetong's father, Zhou Shixiong, the marquis of Zhenxi. He is the king's younger brother, but there were some estrangements in his early years. Although he was still a monarch and minister, he lacked brotherhood.
Zhenxihou fought with Liang State in Xisai for many years, made great achievements for Jiang State, and was extremely prestigious in the army.
The Xidianwei and the Nandianwei are Erlang and Sanlang from the Xihou family.
The four young and oldest members of Zhenxihou family are all generals, and their population is stronger than the king's lineage. Although Zhenxihou has always performed his duties conscientiously, it cannot be ruled out that he did not have the ambition to usurp the throne.
