Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 214 Candied Haws

After Xu Yuan visited him, Sun Wenjie began to receive letters frequently.

The contents of the letters all point to one thing: smuggling salt.

This case is not a small one and it cannot be fabricated out of thin air.

But he searched for several days and found nothing, until that day, he received another secret letter.

There was a place written on the letter.

Sun Wenjie led his men there, caught the criminal red-handed on the spot, and sent him directly to the prison.

At the same time, that person wrote again.

Tell him not to act rashly.

He didn't do anything and just locked the man up in the Heavenly Prison. Not long after, the prince summoned him, and his words showed his intention to help him. Then he said that he had made a wish to go to the Heavenly Prison today, and hoped that the two of them could work together to solve the case as soon as possible.

Having said that, is there anything else that Sun Wenjie doesn't understand?

But he didn't understand how Xu Yuan got in touch with the prince.

And why would the prince help him?

"Just these two days."

Xu Yuan put her hands into her sleeves, and the two walked side by side. The street was very busy, and she did not hide anything, and spoke directly: "I recommended you to the prince."

Sun Wenjie stopped and looked at Xu Yuan in surprise, "But you are obviously not..."

Xu Yuan laughed, interrupted Sun Wenjie and said, "Some accidents happened."

"What accident?"

"The prince saw my talent. We have the same goal, so it's natural for us to come together."

"But it wasn't before..." Sun Wenjie hesitated.

Although the prince was the heir to the throne, he could clearly feel that the wind direction in the capital had changed since Xie Xiaocheng returned to Beijing.

Especially yesterday, the third prince Bei Yao was crowned king and left the palace.

It is true that the crown prince has been the crown prince for more than ten years, but the third prince is also the legitimate son.

The Crown Prince has the support of the Grand Censor, and the Third Prince also has the Grand Tutor's Mansion behind him.

Many people in the court thought that since the Shen family was the Grand Tutor, they would definitely support the Crown Prince.

But Sun Wenjie doesn't think so.

Although Mr. Shen is the head of the Shen family, he is old, and the power of the Shen family will definitely be handed over to Shen Yichuan in the future.

Shen Yichuan has an aloof personality and has only one good friend in the capital, and that is the third prince Bei Yao!

In addition to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Shen Yichuan was also the head of the Poetry Pavilion, holding the opportunity for all the literati in the world to succeed.

In other words, only Bei Yao thought that within a few years, with the help of the Poetry Pavilion, Bei Yao would be able to replace most of the officials in the court who supported the prince.

This battle for the throne never ended because Bei Yuan was named the crown prince.

On the contrary, Xin San's arrest was the signal for the start of the fight for the throne.

"I know what you want to say. You want to say that I have a grudge against that person, and he supports the prince, so why would I join the prince's school, right?"

Xuyuan asked back.

Sun Wenjie nodded, and then he looked around, not daring to relax, and said: "It's not safe here, let's talk somewhere else."

Make a wish and nod.

She didn't know whether the passerby was safe or not, but there was a Chen He following her.

Whatever she says will definitely be known by Beiyao.

Sun Wenjie had a leg injury and could not walk fast, so the two of them walked slowly, and no one was in a hurry.

When passing by a stall selling candied haws.

Xuyuan stopped and bought four strings of candied haws.

When Sun Wenjie saw this, he looked back and forth several times. When he was sure that there was no fourth person, he couldn't help but ask, "There are only three of us, why did you buy four strings of candied haws? Did you buy one for that person?"

"Of course not."

Xu Yuan said this and turned around to give both strings of candied haws to Chen He, asking him to give one to Bei Yao.

Sun Wenjie suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Xu Yuan didn't explain much. When he saw a place selling maltose, he stopped to buy some and gave it to Chen He, saying, "Remember to remind your son to take the medicine on time. It would be best if he could get better before the New Year."

"I will definitely convey Master Xu's intentions."

Sun Wenjie originally thought that he was making a wish and buying the candied haws for the girl he liked, but when he heard the word "Young Master", his hands trembled and he handed the candied haws in his hand to Chen He and said, "Give them all to your Young Master. I don't like sweet things."

Chen He nodded and said, "Yes, thank you, Lord Sun."

Sun Wenjie raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

I also know his name.

But on the street, he didn't dare to ask too many questions about who the person in front of him was.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the Heavenly Prison.

Xuyuan didn't rush over, but looked around.

Tianqi’s prison was not remote. Although there were ferocious jailers guarding the door, there were still many stalls selling snacks around it.

On the left side of the Tianlao, there is a shop selling steamed buns. At this moment, there are a few people in linen clothes taking a rest there.

There are also vendors on the right, some selling pearl hairpins, some selling hair ornaments. The same thing is that they are all men, and the one selling the goods does not look skilled at all.

Not only that, she also saw a familiar face.

Chen Bo.

He held a stick full of candied haws and walked around in front of the prison, but he didn't sell any candied haws.

Chen He also saw it, but he couldn't say anything and could only pretend to be expressionless.

Xu Yuan took a step back and whispered, "Tell your son that if you want to spy on someone, you don't have to pretend to be a vendor. If you see a restaurant, you can order a pot of tea and sit there for an afternoon without anyone noticing."

Chen He said: "I will tell you, young master."

Sun Wenjie didn't hear what the two were saying, but he was curious, so he went over and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Of course, what I said to Chen He could not be told to Sun Wenjie.

Xu Yuan said, "It's just one thing to tell you, it's nothing serious."

"Then let's get down to business. But before we go in, I want to remind you that the people imprisoned in this prison are all extremely vicious and violent. You may feel uncomfortable looking at them. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and we will get out first."

Sun Wenjie kindly reminded everyone to make a wish.

There is not a single prisoner in the Sky Prison who has never been punished.

There are not many that are complete and intact.

He was afraid of scaring Xu Yuan, the scholar.

Although Xuyuan doesn't look like a simple scholar.

"Thank you, Lord Sun, for your reminder." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he looked up at the words "Tianlao" and felt a little dazed.

Before this, she was detained in Tianlao.

After hearing what Xu Yuan said, Sun Wenjie felt relieved. He was about to go over with the token, but suddenly someone shouted behind him.

"Make a wish."

Hearing Xuyuan's name, the three of them turned back together.

Xu Yuan knew who it was just by the voice, so when he saw Wu Shiming, he was not surprised, but asked directly: "Why are you here?"

Wu Shiming trotted over and said, "You didn't come home last night. I was worried about your safety. I was just about to report the case when I saw you."

Wu Shiming said, and calmly looked at Sun Wenjie and asked, "What is this?"

"The Junior Official of the Dali Temple, Sun Wenjie."

After Xu Yuan introduced them, he said to Sun Wenjie, "Sir Sun, this is my friend, Wu Shiming."

Sun Wenjie glanced at Wu Shiming. Although he was dressed neatly, the expression on Wu Shiming's face and the look in his eyes told him that this man was not a good person.

He said, "Mr. Xu, you really have a lot of friends. Who can be your friend?"

Sun Wenjie looked at Xu Yuan with a smile.

Wu Shiming had been hanging around in casinos since he was a kid, and he was best at reading people's expressions. He certainly understood what Sun Wenjie meant, but in order to go to the prison with him, he still said with a smile, "Xu Yuan has a good personality and is a righteous man, so he naturally has many friends."

"That's true." Sun Wenjie nodded, and then said, "My dear, Xu Yuan and I have something important to do, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

"Sir, do you have any important business to attend to?" Wu Shiming asked.

"We are going to go to the Heavenly Prison." Xu Yuan said, while paying attention to Wu Shiming's expression.

What Beiyao said was indeed right.

Wu Shiming noticed her.

I just don’t know how Beiyao did it?
