Chapter 15 The world is like chess

The Taiyuan Wang clan was passed down from the Qin general Wang Jian during the Warring States period.

Successive generations of eunuchs, for the world's first-class gate valve.

It did not decline until the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem: In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.

At this time, it was the early Tang Dynasty, the heyday of the Tang Dynasty's national strength.

Although Li Zhi's court balance policy has suppressed the various gate valves, the Wang family's profound heritage is still not to be underestimated.

At present, there are two main branches of the Taiyuan Wang clan, one is the king of Qixian and the other is the king of Jinyang.

The branch of the counselor Wang Maoshu belongs to the king of Qi County.

and the queen who was deposed before, belong to the same branch.

Therefore, it is not immune to implication.

After hearing that Su Dawei came to visit, the Wang family was obviously a little caught off guard.

The family invited Su Dawei and Wang Jingzhi to wait in the hall, and after a while, they heard the footsteps of several people.

Su Dawei and Wang Jingzhi are very human.

Hearing footsteps, both of them got up from their seats and headed for the door.

At a glance, an old man, followed by Fang Cai's subordinates, with crutches in his hands, walked towards this side.

Behind the old man, followed by a middle-aged man, it was Uncle Wang Mao.

Wang Jingzhi took two steps forward, crossed his hands and saluted: "Bow straight to see Shao Weng." ”

The first old man was Uncle Wang Mao's father, Wang Shao.

Wang Shao used to be the prime minister, but because of the implication of "abolishing Wang Liwu", Zhishi had been at home for several years at this time.

"Jingzhi, is this Su Langjun? Introduce me to it soon. ”

Wang Shao's white eyebrows were slightly frowned together, and a pair of eyes below were slightly cloudy, like two deep pools.

This is an old minister who has gone through the years of Wude, Zhenguan and Yonghui, and is used to seeing countless turmoil in the sea.

The Su Dawei in front of him is naturally a party of the Empress Wu.

There is no doubt about that.

What is the relationship between the Wang family and the Empress Wu?

Now this Su Dawei came to Wang's house, what is it for?

This can't help but make Wang Shao suspicious in his heart.

But he has cultivated his qi so well, even if he has a thousand doubts and vigilance in his heart, he will never show the slightest bit on his face.

Wang Jingzhi said to him: "Shao Weng, Su Dawei has an old relationship with me, he came to me today and said that I would introduce him on my behalf, so I brought him here." ”

"Oh."

Wang Shao nodded slightly, and said in his heart that it should be no problem to be respectful, his own people.

His eyes fell on Su Dawei again, and he couldn't help but look at it secretly.

This young man is too young.

I heard that on the battlefield of Liaodong, this person assisted Li Tao to destroy Goguryeo, the old enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Dawei is a new general in the army in this generation.

I heard that it is also very valued by Su Dingfang.

And this person has a great relationship with the Empress Wu, it is said that when the Empress Wu became a nun, he formed a good fate, and since then he has been one of the most trusted people in the Empress Wu.

But his face, upright and resolute, like an ambitious general, is not like the impression that Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong are deep thieves.

"I don't know Su Langjun, why did you come to my Wang's mansion today?"

"I've seen Shao Weng, and I've heard for a long time that the Wang family has been passed down from the pre-Qin Dynasty, and he has always been prominent, and he has admired him for a long time in my heart."

Su Dawei saluted with his hands crossed, and he was polite.

Wang Shao naturally wouldn't take his kind words seriously.

Slightly brushed his beard, and said with a smile: "Su Langjun is too polite, please sit down, sit down and talk." ”

The descendants of the Wang family came up and offered fragrant tea and various colored fruits.

Wang Shao's eyes swept around Wang Jingzhi and Su Dawei's faces, and he coughed lightly and said: "Since Su Langjun is here, there must be something important, the old man has not been in the court for a long time, and he doesn't know ......."

Su Dawei smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that Wang Shao was worried in his heart, this was from "Pandao".

"That's right, the day before yesterday, I just came back from Baekje, outside Chang'an City, and I happened to meet the counselor and talked with him for a few words, and I remembered what he said that day in the past few days, and I felt that I benefited a lot, so I came to thank him."

Su Dawei said with a serious face, and looked at Uncle Wang Mao with a smile on his face at the same time.

At this time, Uncle Wang Mao was already in the brain, and he looked confused.

What did he say to this Su Dawei before entering the city that day?

By the way, at that time, I just remembered that there was such a person, and when I saw that his banner seemed to be the governor of Xiongjin, I couldn't help but ask, originally it was just out of admiration for the bravery of the Tang army in the Baekje battlefield, and it didn't mean anything else.

What did I say, and it benefited him a lot?

How come I don't remember?

Uncle Wang Mao noticed Wang Shao's gaze looking at him, and there was majesty and scrutiny in his gaze, as if asking: Why did you get involved with the people of the martial arts?

The sweat on Uncle Wang Mao's forehead came out urgently.

If you change to a scheming and cunning person, there are a hundred ways to shirk the blame at this time.

But Uncle Wang Mao is still that kind of square-minded, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.

This is the so-called gentleman can be deceived in a way.

Wang Jingzhi frowned slightly on the side, glanced at Uncle Wang Mao, and then looked at Su Dawei beside him.

I always felt that Su Dawei's smile was a little weird.

Out of his understanding of Su Dawei, Wang Jingzhi snorted lightly: "Ami, don't be joking, since you let me introduce me, I have already done it, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”

"Don't."

Su Dawei held down Wang Jingzhi, turned his head to Wang Shao and Uncle Wang Mao, and said, "By the way, I came this time, and I have another matter, I want to ask the Wang family." ”

"What?"

Wang Shao's heart shook slightly, knowing that the drama was coming.

Su Dawei said solemnly: "There is a fire in a shop in the West Market today, and several shops nearby have been burned to the ground, the time is about the hour, I happened to pass by there, and I heard from my colleagues who were bad people in the old days that there were Wang's dry shares. ”

After a pause, after Wang Shao and Uncle Wang Mao, who had changed color slightly, digested the news a little, Su Dawei continued: "I also heard that this fire is likely to be deliberately caused by someone.

Since I have a relationship with the counselor, I would like to ask by the way, are there any clues in this matter that can help solve the case?

If there is, it is a great thing for both public and private, but I don't know what the doctor thinks? ”

It was Uncle Wang Mao who was mentioned in his mouth, but Su Dawei's eyes were staring at Wang Shao for a moment.

Obviously, although he is no longer in the court at this time, the Wang family is still the old man who has the final say.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The incense burner in the corner of the room slowly rises with fragrance.

Fragrant and rich.

Wang Shao stroked his beard lightly.

Uncle Wang Mao looked at his father, and his Adam's apple squirmed slightly.

No matter how sluggish he was, he could smell the tension in the air.

And Wang Jingzhi moved his eyebrows invisibly, pressing down the urge to leave.

"Su Langjun originally came here for this matter."

Wang Shao's voice was slightly low, and he seemed to be still groaning.

But this sentence is actually a test, judging whether Su Dawei threw a "bait" or really just for the fire.

Su Dawei smiled at the corner of his mouth.

This expression, through the incense mist, looks a little cloudy and foggy, unfathomable.

With Wang Shao's eyes, he can't judge the authenticity for a while.

After thinking about it, he said implicitly: "The old man just learned about the fire from Su Langjun's mouth, and now the old man is really confused and can't provide useful clues." ”

"Has the Wang family provoked any enemies recently?"

Su Dawei asked a little rudely.

Wang Shao's brows furrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "The Wang family's century-old clan has always been kind to others, and there has never been an enemy. ”

If there is an enemy, isn't it the Empress Wu?

You little boy, but you use this for amusement.

It's a loss that Wang Shao has a good temperament, but if he changes people, I'm afraid I'm going to get angry.

"Su Langjun, if there is nothing else......"

"Wait."

Su Dawei saw Wang Shao stretching out his hand to serve tea, and wanted to play a set of "serving tea and sending guests".

Immediately interrupted.

"Shao Weng, I still have something to ask."

"What?"

"I heard from bad people, checked the remaining records in the shop, and found that a few days ago, there was a fugitive slave who had a tooth diagnosis in the dentist's shop, do you know about this?"

"The old man doesn't know."

No matter how good Wang Shao's kung fu is, he is also a little pretentious now.

With his identity, the family has more business, how can he know everything.

And it's just a fugitive slave, so what does it have to do with him?

"Shao Weng, Doctor, you might as well think about it carefully, this fugitive slave has a lot to do."

"Su Langjun, what do you mean by this?"

Uncle Wang Mao, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally couldn't help it at this time, seeing that his father's face couldn't hold back, he stood up and shouted: "Do you suspect that my Wang family burned down their own shop?" ”

"Well, I can't say it, that's why I'm here to ask."

"You ......"

Su Dawei glanced at Wang Shao, who was pale, and got up and arched his hand to Uncle Wang Mao: "If there is any rudeness, look at Haihan, just because, this fugitive slave was in Chang'an City the day before yesterday and wanted to assassinate him." ”

"What?"

At this moment, Wang Shao, Uncle Wang Mao and Wang Jingzhi were taken aback together.

Wang Shao and Uncle Wang Mao realized that Su Dawei came here for the fire in the West Market.

It is clearly for the sake of rejuvenating the teacher and asking for sin.

And Wang Jingzhi also knew that the dead man who assassinated Su Dawei was actually related to the Wang family.

There was a wave in my heart for a while.

"Su Langjun, is this true?"

Uncle Wang Mao bowed his hand to Su Dawei and said, "The fugitive slave ......"

"Your Majesty ordered me to investigate this case, and the clue I have so far pursued is that the fugitive slave went to the dentist's shop before and performed a minor operation to hide poison in his teeth.

The dentist's shop is the property of the Wang family......"

"We ...... Ahem...... Our royal family didn't do such a thing! ”

Wang Shao stood up suddenly, his face flushed, his hands on crutches, and he coughed violently.

Uncle Wang Mao was shocked and hurriedly supported him: "Aya, no, don't be angry!" ”

"I can't die."

Wang Shao waved his hand.

He had to stretch his halberd, and from his thin body to his body, he poured out awe-inspiring righteousness.

It was not until this moment that he took out the strength of the time when he fought with reason in the court and did not hesitate to defy the Son of Heaven.

The previous forbearance was nothing more than a protective disguise.

The Wang family has many fierce ones and few feminine ones.

"Don't be angry, I personally believe that the Wang family will not do such a thing."

Su Dawei straightened his clothes and saluted Wang Shao.

"Otherwise, I won't be upright and take me to visit Shao Weng."

"You ......"

Su Dawei's attitude made Wang Shao, who just wanted to get angry, feel like a punch on the cotton.
