The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Chapter 361 The first mention of that person
When Wen Yu arrived, Song Tao was already dead.

Song Shang had just finished killing the people, and with an evil look on his face, he told Song Tao's plan and took out the so-called treasure.

Wen Yu was a little surprised: "Why are you so anxious to let him die? We haven't figured out the person behind it yet, and we don't know what other methods we can use!"

Song Shang said: "He doesn't know who the real person behind the scenes is. He's just a small chess piece."

"How could he say that the things belong to Prince Wu's Mansion? Is the person behind it the Prince of Wu?" Wen Yu asked.

Qi Wu denied it: "In the past two years, I have been following the affairs of Prince Wu's house. From this point of view, it does not look like King Wu's handiwork. Moreover, if King Wu wanted to annex the Song family, he would have done so a few years ago. There are many opportunities. There is no need to come to the capital. Moreover, King Wu is cautious. If he has any idea, he will not let his cousin get the title... He will not do anything complicated. "

As soon as Wen Yu heard about the title, he looked at Song Shang with a smile.

Song Shang looked at Wen Yu's naughty look, his heart softened, and he also smiled: "I bought the title, I'm not afraid of your jokes!"

Qi Wu was very honest: "I didn't mean to make fun of you."

Wen Yu said: "But, this object belongs to Prince Wu's Mansion, right?"

What she held heavily in her hand was a hollow carved pure gold fragrant ball inlaid with various gemstones. The size of an adult man's fist, it must be something of some age. But the gold color shines as expensively as new.

The carving is extremely fine. Behind the largest red gemstone is a button. You can pull it open from the middle and there is an incense holder inside. Light the incense and the cigarette will come out of the hole.

There is a gold chain at the top with a removable carved ebony frame.

Qi Wu said: "The shape, construction method, and materials of this fragrant ball make it look like something belonging to the royal family. If I have a chance, I can let my grandson take a look..."

Song Shang said: "Although it is not like the work of Prince Wu's Mansion, I am afraid that it cannot be completely divorced. Prince Wu's Mansion also has many dependent forces. Let's talk about Mr. He Ge... Isn't it the one married by Prince Wu's Crown Prince? His granddaughter?”

Wen Yu suddenly understood something: "And Yang Xiangdong, his method is exactly the same as Song Tao's. If he dared to betray Mr. Li Ge, he might have climbed into the He family or Prince Wu's palace!"

Qi Wu said: "I'm going to ask Yang Xiangdong! In addition to the people he is contacting, does he know any other information?"

Wen Yu nodded: "What about cousin, Xu Erlang?"

"Keep him alive. Sign a deed of betrayal and lock him up. Someone will take him away in the next two days. I have a mine, let him work there as hard labor. It will last for five years, life or death!"

"It's an advantage for him...it's just a hardship in the mines, Mrs. Xu can't bear it!"

"Ms. Xu is not an ordinary woman. Needless to say, she is loyal, and she also understands the principle of a strong man breaking his wrist. If his matter is not resolved, sooner or later, Mrs. Xu herself and Xu Dalang will be involved!"

"Cousin, let me take this thing away! I just want to go to my grandson's place on my way back and let him see if he recognizes it."

"Take it away and remember to find a proper place to put it!"

"Cousin, don't forget to investigate the lawsuit... Although Song Tao is dead, things on the other side cannot stop."

"I have arranged for people to go there. Zhang Jiangqing and his master are also paying attention! If there is any movement, they will hold it down first."

After installing the golden ball, the couple went to the East Palace Villa.

At the door, I met the prince and grandson getting off the car. The two people hurriedly stepped forward: "Why is His Royal Highness going out?"

Li Qihuan carefully supported the prince, "Go in and talk!"

After entering, take care of the prince first, change clothes and wash hands, pour hot water... and let him lean on the bed.

Several people sat a little away from him, and Li Qihuan whispered: "We, father and son, entered the palace and asked the emperor to resign as prince."

what? !

Wen Yu and Qi Wu looked at each other in shock.

"Your Highness..." Qi Wu was a little anxious.

Li Qihuan shook his head gently: "This time the incident was a bit big. Although Father has recovered, there are some things that may not end well. Instead of waiting for others to reveal it, we should break it ourselves first and take a step back. Father The king was resolute and resigned as well as my grandson.

It just so happened that in the first year I handed over all the important things I was doing. The emperor was a little surprised and did not agree. Let the father come back to rest. The emperor did not let the father reveal this matter, saying that he would consider it carefully. "

Qi Wu's face looked ugly, but he didn't say anything anymore.

Li Qihuan continued: "To lay the groundwork first, I will write the memorial and present it to the emperor personally."

Wen Yu thought about it and couldn't help but worry, "You're not pretending to be a real person, are you?"

Li Qihuan said tiredly: "Actually, this may not be what I am thinking. I have been extremely irritable recently, and it will not do any good if I continue like this. Although my father came over this time, his illness has not recovered. After going back and forth like this, If something happens, I won’t regret it to death? If I really cut off that road...Xiao Wu, I’ll miss you!”

Qi Wu shook his head: "Qi Wu is just following you, not that position. You don't have to think too much. Anyway, I will do what I need to do as usual."

Li Qihuan patted Qi Wu, "Good brother!"

Wen Yu said: "Your Highness, it is normal for you to feel depressed after you have just experienced such a big event. However, there is a prince and Pingting is pregnant again... Even if you retreat, you must have the ability to protect yourself! "

Li Qihuan was a little surprised, glanced at Wen Yu, and nodded.

These things were beyond Wen Yu's mind, so he took out the golden ball and showed it to his grandson. The prince rested for a while, and happened to open his eyes and take a look, "Bring it to me and have a look..."

Although the voice was soft, several people immediately stood up and walked to him.

Wen Yu put the thing on the prince's bed.

The prince smiled, picked it up with difficulty, picked up the ruby, broke it, and opened it.

"This is something that belongs to King Wu. King Xiang, King Yun, and our family, one for each family. King An and the others don't have it. The one in our family has a purple gem on it. When you were naughty when you were a child, your father used it to coax... you threw it out. I rolled it while playing with it, and a piece of it fell flat. I had it repaired by a craftsman later..."

Li Qihuan listened to the prince's words, and the smile on his face was extremely gentle.

As he walked home, Qi Wu's expression became even more serious. After sending Wen Yu home, he said, "I'm going out for a while. If you have nothing to do, just go and stay with your mother."

"We haven't eaten yet! My cousin and grandson didn't even ask us..."

Qi Wu said: "Ask the nanny in my mother's house to get some for you. I will come back as soon as possible!"

……

Wen Yu went back to wash up, then went to Mrs. Qi's room, picked up what she could talk about, and chatted with her for a while.

When Mrs. Qi heard that the prince had resigned, she was also stunned, "This is really unexpected! Ordinarily, now is not a good time. When I went out that day, I heard that King Wu and King An have been doing things well recently. With this resignation, Or there’s no chance.”

"The prince is wise and must have his own plans."

After a while, the Marquis from the front came and asked: "Master Marquis, please ask the Fifth Master to come over!"

No one was there, and when it was time for dinner, the Marquis came again, seemingly asking Qi Wu to accompany the guests.

Turns out he’s not here yet!

Qi Hou looked at the neat children and grandchildren in front of him, but he was the only one missing. He felt angry and depressed. He really didn't take this family and himself seriously!
At night, Wen Yu couldn't sleep even after washing herself and going to bed: I don't know how Pingting is doing, and it's hard to see her now...

In the middle of the night, just as he was about to fall asleep, Qi Wu came back.

Wen Yu regained his energy and quickly stood up, "Where have you been?"

Qi Wu looked at his little wife under the lamp, his expression softened than before.

"Let me wash my face first."

Wen Yu felt a little relieved, probably because he had heard something. After a while, Qi Wu came in and sat beside the bed.

"I tied up Yang Xiangdong!" Qi Wu said as soon as he came up.

"Really? Did you ask something?" Wen Yu's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Yeah." Qi Wu looked at his little wife, a little distracted...

"Say it quickly!"

"He came home after drinking with a friend, and we kidnapped him while we were masked. I was not polite and told him when I came up..."

Since we are masked and kidnapping you, we won’t kill you, otherwise our faces will be revealed directly. However, if you don't say anything, don't blame me, I won't take your life...

Qi Wu rubbed Yang Xiangdong's face with a cold and shining dagger: This knife will destroy your face, and your career will be over from now on. After years of studying hard, you have just embarked on a smooth journey, only to find yourself at zero. Are you willing to do so?

Yang Xiangdong is really a character. Although he is very scared, he has not lost his grace.

"He said, you don't have to be so forceful. What I know, it doesn't matter if you tell me. What I don't know, it's useless for you to take it because you're afraid of hurting it."

"So, I directly asked him about the man who wanted to harm the Song family.

He said: Since the last time he saw the man, he has had no contact with him.

I asked him if he knew who was behind it.

He said he really didn't know. It took a few twists and turns to get in touch with this middle man. He decided to interrupt the matter, and after talking to the intermediary, he stopped looking for her.

He speculated that the person in question had either been silenced or had withdrawn. In this case, it was a fluke that he didn't die. I won’t look for trouble again!
But I told him: Since you choose to trust the Chinese, you must have something to rely on. With your mind and character, how could you believe a random person who said he could help you destroy the Song family and move Mr. Li Ge down?

As soon as he heard what I said: Bring down Mr. Li Ge, his expression changed and he was silent for a long time.

I told him: If you don’t tell me, this matter will never be over. The thunder above your head will explode at any time. If Mr. Li Ge doesn't forgive you, you will die. But if it weren't for his support on your back, you might have died in an accident a few days ago. Believe it or not?

He thought for a long time before saying: He knows the identity of the stranger. That man worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and his position was not high. However, he had no fame and no family background. It was not easy for him to get to where he is today. Judging from his clothes, life is not difficult either.

Yang Xiangdong has a good mind and an eye for recognizing people, so he investigates secretly.

Then we knew that that person was recommended by another person.

And that person’s teacher was Mr. Zhou, who was once the Minister of Civil Affairs...
